He whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. Numbers 22:6

Thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. Numbers 22:12

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse.  Deuteronomy 11:26

The LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. Deuteronomy 23:5

When he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart. Deuteronomy 29:19

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency. They delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.  Psalm 62:4

Let them curse, but bless thou. Psalm 109:28

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.  Proverbs 30:11

Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. Jeremiah 20:14

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Matthew 5:44

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Romans 12:14

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the likeness of God. James 3:9

Jesus cursed the fig tree and it died. Mark 11:21

And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. Matthew 14:21 

I used to wonder why Jesus cursed and killed a fig tree just because there were no figs on it. Now I realize that he was demonstrating how we misuse our spiritual power. We curse and kill every day, unknowlingly. Don’t we discourage and destroy with our negativity? Even voodoo practices demonstrate this. Larry Dossey wrote a whole book on how negative prayer works: Be Careful What You Pray For, You Just Might Get It. (1997)

And then Jesus blessed a little boy’s lunch and 5000 people were fed. Blessing multiplies, just like cursing kills.

On the subject of blessing and cursing, let us begin with three assumptions:

1. The Power of the universe is in you.

2. We use that power every day, knowlingly or not

3. We curse or bless with that power

What are some other words for cursing? (condemn, criticize, put down, belittle, dishonor, disrespect, neglect, avoid, deny, withhold, judge, resist, fear, etc) You only curse what you fear.

What are some other words for blessing ? (respect, honor, love, give, radiate, etc?)

Whatever you bless, blesses you.

Whatever you curse, curses you.

Whatever you deny, denies you

Whatever you harm, harms you

Whatever you love, loves you

Do you fear that people take advantage of your blessing? No one can take advantage of you.  You just can't control other people or their reactions.  (See my chapter on the Enlightenment Formula: Do whatever you do 100% and leave the results to God.)

"Whatever is, is good" said St. Augustine. But why? Because it is all good; it is all from God, the All good.

Dr. Royal Rife discovered in his microscope studies that every disease has an energy frequency. Below 50 on the scale is sickening and lowers one’s resistance to disease.

When you bless your food, your car, your house ("Bless This House" the song goes), your body, your thoughts, your family, your enemy, you raise your own energy, and your own healing powers.

The more you bless, the higher your energy rises; the more you curse (judge, resist, dread, fear and criticize) the lower your energy goes, and more of the same is added unto you.

Please notice that cursing is equivalent to illusions, fear, weakening and sickening, and that blessing is equivalent to miracles, love, strengthening and healing.

Peace be unto you, said the early Christians.

Assignment: Consciously curse or bless this week. When we think or say:

"God damm this" or "God bless that," we are using the power of God to damm or bless, to weaken or strenthen. Realize that we curse Saddam and he curses us.

I studied the Guiness Book of Records. I noticed that Jesus was not recognized as the champion of consciousness. And we may not have noticed that he said that whatever I do, you can do better! Why? Because he adds his power to ours. When we think, pray and bless "In the Name of Jesus" we are using the power of the champion of consciousness. While his consciousness was clearer, stronger and faster than ours, ours is just as powerful and real, but like an unused muscle, may need use and practice.

We have only three choices each moment: (1) to curse (2) to bless or (3) to forgive. But be aware, you will curse every day, and when you do, cancel it, forgive it. I say "you will curse every day" because we are habitually conditioned to fear, to react, to judge, to belittle, to condemn, to gossip, to resist, and to try to control.

Although you will curse, you can correct that judgment by forgiveness. If you do not forgive, you are stuck with your curse, and you will magnetize unto you exactly what your judgment was against. You don’t like some things that are in your life? You put them there by your judgments, by your "curses" .  Take that responsibility, and stop blaming it on others or on circumstances. You are not a victim. You are not a beggar. You are a god in disguise. Wake up!

Make a written list some things you could bless in your life, some things you want to heal, forgive, empower, and transform. Visualize that it is done.  The result is up to God. 

If the All Good is in everything, we can release that good by the practice of blessing. Everything on the face of the earth contains the seed of divinity. What is in a seed? Within an apple tree seed, there are many seeds, and potentially many apple trees. Blessing is the way you spread, water, and warm the seed. Be a Johnny Appleseed of spiritual and material blessings. Silently spread your gifts through the inner act of blessing. You can spread the seeds of peace, healing, rejuvenation, love, wealth, forgiveness, and joy. These are your apple tree seeds.
