Once again, this epistle is designed to break with traditional mindsets &amp; challenge typical ways of thinking that ultimately stand in the way of our ultimate quality of life. I will just say if you are a holy roller or you live by Anglo-Saxon, Puritan ideologies as it relates to life, sexual themes, and pleasure, then you may want to exit because this article may be offensive to you, if you are shallow minded, or it may pose a significant challenge and threat to your current beliefs. Nonetheless, I am not here to please the traditions of men, I am here to address real issues, and some of what I address is essential for many people, especially those caught up in LGBTQ persuasions while suffering from mental and physical health disparities. Everything that I teach is because Yahwah Elah prophetically told me to speak on the subject. When Elah is speaking through me, that is when you see my articles as short books, that have the quality of well-thought-out research but are in fact written instantaneously, drawing out the knowledge and wisdom Elah has already stored within me, intermixed with what and how he wants me to communicate that knowledge. If you don\u2019t recognize my prophetic authority, that is fine, the Way of Elah is not for everyone, but for those who hear the Voice of Elah speaking through me, I encourage you to buckle up and let\u2019s take a ride to understand a new essential idea that has been rejected by western religious systems for centuries.<br><br><em>Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of Qoheleth1, son of Dawi\u1e0f, sovereign in Yerushalayim. Ecc 1:2 \u201cFutility! Futility!\u201d says Qoheleth. \u201cFutility, futility, all is futile!\u201d Ecc 1:3 What does man gain from all his labour in which he toils under the sun? Ecc 1:4 A generation passes away, and a generation comes, but the earth stands forever.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ecc 1:5 The sun also rises, and the sun sets, and hurries back to the place where it arose.

To the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. Ecc 1:8 All matters are wearisome, no one is able to speak of it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Ecc 1:9 What has been is what shall be, what has been done is what shall be done, and there is no new matter under the sun. Ecc 1:10 Is there a matter of which it is said, \u201cSee, this is new\u201d? It was here already, long ago.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ecc 1:11 There is no remembrance of former ones, nor is there any remembrance of those that are to come by those who come later on. Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun. And see, all was futile and feeding on wind. Ecc 1:15 The crooked could not be straightened, and what is lacking could not be counted.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ecc 1:16 So I spoke to my heart, saying, \u201cSee, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Yerushalayim. And my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.\u201d Ecc 1:17 And I set my heart to know wisdom \u2013 and to know madness and folly. I know that this too is feeding on wind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ecc 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases suffering.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re a slave or servant of the Most High Adonai Yahwah Elah, you live your life in a state of servitude, watching your every step, denying yourself the pleasures of life, and living in a state of fear, worrying about whether everything you do is right or wrong, righteous and pleasing in the eyes of Elah or worthy of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re a Son or daughter of Yahwah Elah, you don\u2019t live like a servant or a slave. You are free, you don\u2019t live in fear, and you don\u2019t watch every step you make or every breath you take. You are raised a different way under the Word of Elah, as a child of Elah. You are not rooted and grounded like the servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, if you do make a mistake, you don\u2019t even get punished in the same manner as a servant or slave. There is never a point where you fear for your physical or spiritual life when you screw up. You also can talk to Elohim like a child speaks with their parents. You don\u2019t have to pray as the servants and slaves do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also get an inheritance that is not available to the servants and slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People can easily tell the difference between a Son and daughter of Elah, vs a servant and slave of Elah. Their physical appearance, their demeanor and level of empowerment, their level of prosperity and wealth, how they walk and speak, and the doors that are opened for the Sons and Daughters that are not afforded to the servants and slaves.<br><br>Even where the Sons and Daughters live, their level of education and even their level of brilliance is different than the servants and slaves. The servants and slaves, although striving for righteousness via the path of religion, rituals, and do not doctrines, can be found in the slums, apartments, and hoods. They are the ones with the lowest education, lowest levels of income, and lowest state or moral by virtue of their fear mechanism and how they define and see sin and human behavior as it relates to Yahwah Elah.<br><br>Sons and Daughters evolve into wealthy people, inventors, innovators, leaders, bankers, heads of finance, economics, medicine, and science, and even are the ones who establish the foundation to which the servants and slaves adhere and follow in order to remain in the grace of Elah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are millions of servants and slaves of the Most High, but there is only a remnant of Sons and Daughters, and the world knows us by the \u201cfruits we produce\u201d not by what we say or proclaim.<br><br><em>Kiddushin 82b, The Mishna taught that Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: Have you ever seen a beast or a bird that has a trade? It is taught in the Tosefta (5:13): Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: I never saw a deer work as one who dries figs, nor a lion work as a porter, nor a fox work as a storekeeper. And yet they earn their livelihood without anguish. But all these were created only to serve me, and I, a human being, was created to serve the One Who formed me. If these, who were created only to serve me, earn their livelihood without anguish, then is it not right that I, who was created to serve the One Who formed me, should earn my livelihood without anguish? But I, i.e., humanity, have committed evil actions and have lost my livelihood, as it is stated: \u201cYour iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have held back good from you\u201d (Jeremiah 5:25)<\/em><em><br><br>The mishna taught that Rabbi Nehorai says: I set aside all the trades and I teach my son only Torah. It is taught in the Tosefta (5:14): Rabbi Nehorai says: I set aside all the trades in the world, and I teach my son only Torah, as all other trades serve one only in the days of his youth, when he has enough strength to work, but in the days of his old age, behold, he is left to lie in hunger. But Torah is not like this: It serves a person in the time of his youth and provides him with a future and hope in the time of his old age. With regard to the time of his youth, what does it say about a Torah scholar? \u201cBut they that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength\u201d (Isaiah 40:31). With regard to the time of his old age, what does it say? \u201cThey shall still bring forth fruit in old age, they shall be full of sap and richness\u201d (Psalms 92:15).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not a Servant of Yahwah Elah. Never have been and never will be. I am a literal, bonafide, chosen, anointed, appointed, and favored Son of Yahwah Elah and Chockimah aka Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus I could care less about how the servants and slaves think because their standards do not apply to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We who are Sons and Daughters are to strive to enjoy life on this earth to the fullest. The Torah is in our genes, wired to our hearts and minds thus we don\u2019t have to memorize the scriptures, as we are the scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pleasure, and even Hedonistic pursuits, intertwined with a healthy and holistic lifestyle are what Elah created us for. He did not create us to live in fear, to not be able to think for ourselves, to worry about every little thing or ritual, or to consume our time with theological correctness, denying ourselves with don\u2019t do this or don\u2019t do that or everything is sin mentality. Our works, rooted in ethics, character, integrity, and moral disposition are our guiding principles in all we do, and being fulfilled, at peace and happy, enjoying life, adventures, entertainment, family, travel, arts, fashion, and all the other pleasures of life, that doesn\u2019t invoke or violate the laws of nature and doesn\u2019t dwell with that which is destructive in nature, is what we should be experiencing.<br><br><em><strong>Song of Solomon 4:1<\/strong><\/em><em>&nbsp; See, you are fair, my love!

Holistic sex produces life in more ways than people really understand. Frankly, I recommend polygany to experience the most in-depth fulfilling sexual bonds &amp; pleasures, which serve as the fires and passion that keeps covenant relationships alive and well. This is foundational to sustaining empowered families, health &amp; quality of life.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per Eastern &amp; Western medical science, a branch of the Edenic law of Elah, those who do not have active, balanced, and holistic sexual behaviors will experience a shorter life span and develop degenerative health disparities in two manners:<br><br><strong>1.<\/strong> Those who don\u2019t know how to use sexual behavior for biological, &amp; mental health balance, &amp; spiritual growth, and who engage in reckless behaviors and risks that result in encounters with numerous unclean peoples, who themselves have a lack of balance within the Edenic law, and who lack a fundamental understanding of principled Hedonism, as opposed to impulse-driven hedonism which leads down the path of obtaining the parasites, bacteria, and viruses that produce STDS &amp; mental health disparities, will for sure shorten their lifespans and suffer the infirmities of their destructive behavior. This is the behavior of a Zonah which causes a woman(man) to become a Niddah(unclean and untouchable).<br><br><strong>2.<\/strong> Those who live a \u201cform of righteousness\u201d, but are taught according to the slave doctrines with regards to long-term celibacy, never developing a covenant relationship and engaging in essential sexual, sensual, erotic &amp; romantic behavior by a specific age as set out in our ancient writings(See my short book, Why you are Single &amp; unmarried and over the age of 20). The women, especially the ones erroneously associate this type of abstinence with the virtuousness of the proverbs 31 woman (a married woman who\u2019s very much sexually active), end up engaging in destructive behavior, on the opposite end of #1, that will lead to a shortened lifespan and an increased risk of developing certain cancers and other feminine and mental health disparities, as sex is not an option, it\u2019s a command, the very first command that Elah ever gave mankind and is an essential lifestyle function that one\u2019s health, mental health, spirit and quality of life, as well as the continuity of the human species depends upon.\u00a0 Sex was never just for procreating. Elah scientifically built humans to experience and enjoy sexual pleasure at the physical, emotional, and spiritual level.<br><br>This principle is also the driving force of relativity even as it relates to breastfeeding. That is an essential lifestyle behavior of every woman who conceives and births children. It is a scientific fact that women who don\u2019t breastfeed have a 100% increased risk of developing breast cancer at some point in their life.<br>If you do not exercise the mechanisms designed within you to produce life, your biological system will automatically send out signals to basically cause you to self-destruct. Sexual hormones are the most numerous hormones in the biological system and those hormones play a major role in balancing every other hormone in your biological system. Thus, if your sexual life is not healthy, active, and balanced, your entire biological system will not be balanced and it will manifest via physical &amp; mental health imbalance.<br><br>Under the Edenic Torah law, there is no difference between the whore who engages in reckless sexual behaviors that cause disease, and the long-term celibate woman incapable of developing a healthy covenant relationship, as a helpmeet, to the man Elah designed for her, resulting in her not having an active sexual life. Both will meet the same fate biological and healthwise. <strong>And a word to you lesbians,<\/strong> who think an artificial dildo can replace the real thing Elah created in man, you are twice as likely to develop physical, biological, and mental health disparities, as your sexual hormones are not only not able to be balanced properly to keep your entire system in synch, but the toxic chemicals from your artificial penis release artificial hormones via your vagina which further sends your entire hormonal system into chaos. You\u2019d be better off getting gonorrhea or Chlamydia than what you are getting from the toxic waste of artificial sex toys. It sounds gross but that is how gross it is what you are doing to your biological and sexual system.<br><br><em>Bereshit 1:28\u00a0 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, \u201cBear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Penis &amp; Vagina: Torah essentials to biological health balance &amp; longevity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"http:\/\/mizrahijudaism.myqnapcloud.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/edenic-tantra2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" style=\"width:351px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mizrahijudaism.myqnapcloud.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/edenic-tantra2.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/mizrahijudaism.myqnapcloud.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/edenic-tantra2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mizrahijudaism.myqnapcloud.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/edenic-tantra2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Yeah, it\u2019s a reason your periods are irregular, you are short-tempered, aggressive, or overtly asexual, you have mood swings, are manic depressive &amp; bipolar, and find yourselves going in circles your entire life. That natural penis, which you reject and despise, and all of the billions of acu-meridians triggers on its tip, designed to connect to your vaginal acu-meridian points in order to ignite the bio-electro-stimulation, along with the literal natural multi-vitamin enriched semen &amp; sexual fluids that are pumped from the spine of the man into his sexual fluids &amp; are designed to nourish your vagina, and of which both are necessary &amp; essential for your entire sexual &amp; hormonal balance, thus the complete balance of your entire life and health, not to mention the most pleasurable orgasms that serve as the jump start of your hormones &amp; mental wellness, is missing. You are robbing yourselves of an essential tool required to ensure you have an optimal uterine and vaginal system, which is the seat of your divinity.<br><br>On the opposite in, when you engage in irresponsible behaviors with destructive men, especially those prone to aggressiveness, violence, alcohol &amp; drug usage(i.e. Weed\/THC), their semen and sexual fluids are the exact opposite of the essential vitamin and nutrient supplier to your womb. You end up receiving toxic waste by-products of their diet and soul, which in turn can contribute to the destruction of your entire sexual &amp; biological system. One of the main manifestations is cervical dysplasia, Vaginosis, Vaginitis, or repeat Candida infections. Lord forbid they have HSV, HCV, HIV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia or Syphilis or some other parasite. Antibiotics for the bacterial STDs is hardly a true cure, as it does not contribute to the rebalancing of your biological system, if your biological system can even be re-balanced these days, considering most STDs are borderline incurable due to antibiotic resistance &amp; becoming deadly super-bugs.<br><br>And then, of course, you have the damage done to women who are physically, mentally, and sexually abused, which can play a major role in sexual dysfunction and the total imbalance of the hormonal system. Abuse females, especially little girls, end up producing too much testosterone, and abused males end up producing too much estrogen, the two major hormones that drive sexual orientation behavior. This is the thing, I empathize with everyone whose been abused, but when you don\u2019t understand the fundamental scientific principles of how your body \u201cneeds\u201d to work, in order to produce fulfillment, happiness, and physical, mental, and spiritual prosperity, you find yourselves living as a victim in the shadows of your attacker. When you let trauma to cause you to sexually act out, due to the hormonal imbalances invoked from the trauma, in such a way that it\u2019s destructive in nature, your attacker is basically still defeating you. You have to make yourself come to understand your Original Design according to Edenic law, and not according to politics and liberal cultural correctness which ultimately leads to more damage and suffering being inflicted upon those who have been damaged and harmed.<br><br><em><strong>Song of Solomon 3:5&nbsp; I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken <u>love until it pleases.<\/u><\/strong><\/em><br>You have to understand the essentials of your vagina and penis and how your sexual life plays a major role in every aspect of your health and mental health, &amp; then you have to take evidence-based holistic steps to reverse the damage, rebalance your hormones, &nbsp;your mental and emotional trauma and motivate yourself to experience sexuality as it was designed. If you\u2019re a woman, you have to learn to see the penis(basically the man) as essential to your whole health and being, and if you\u2019re a man, you have to learn to see the vagina(the whole woman) as essential to your health and being. Elah made it clear that its \u201cnot good\u201d for a man to be alone, so he created woman to be an essential part of his life and being, and the purpose of the woman in her relationship to man is essential for her quality of life, existence, and being.<br><br>We can never allow trauma of any kind to change us in such a way that we no longer function according to our original design and we end up becoming complacent and content with how we have become. Satan has been winning, especially in this era, by using LGBTQ ideologies to institutionalize people to become content with what they have become rather than take steps to heal so that they can become who they really are. The Pharmaceutical industry makes a huge profit from health trauma &amp; health imbalances. Zoloft, Zyprexa, Adderall, etc, are artificial means to help cover up the problem rather than ever address the problem according to essential life-balancing and life-saving science as it relates to understanding how important the penis and vagina are to each other and the life of the man and woman.<br><br>These extremes mentioned are destructive natures that are not designed for the Sons and Daughters of Elah &amp; yet are practiced by the servants of Elah or the servants of liberal ideology or some other deity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our lives are too short to not maximize its enjoyment due to slave-made doctrines of worship according to Anglo-Saxon Puritan ideology. We are not Anglo-Saxons, we are human beings that follow a Torah that is designed to bring freedom when we tap into it properly according to culture as opposed to religion, and our lives are supposed to be just that, according to freedom as we uphold the principle and values of the Torah Covenant.<br><br><em>Song of Solomon 3:1&nbsp; On my bed at night I sought the beloved of my being; I sought him, but I did not find him. &nbsp;Son 3:2&nbsp; \u201cCome, let me arise, and go about the city, In the streets and in the broad places I seek the beloved of my being.\u201d I sought him, but I did not find him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Son 3:3&nbsp; The watchmen who go about the city found me, to whom I said, \u201cHave you seen the beloved of my being?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Son 3:4<\/strong><\/em><em>&nbsp; Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the beloved of my being.
