THE CANDELABRA WILL BUILD ITSELF
[from http://www.becominglikegod.com/?p=from_michael&s=191]

It was time to build a spiritual power station in the desert.

So goes the story.

The Creator told Moses to build a tabernacle, a physical place where the Israelites could draw down the Light of the Creator. Moses was further instructed: within this tabernacle, he was to build a special instrument: a candelabra.

As kabbalists know, this story is not just a story, and the candelabra is not just mythical mumbo-jumbo. The story is a code with deep practical meaning for our lives, and the candelabra is precision technology for tapping spiritual energy.

After years of widespread acclaim & awards, the Virtual Religion Index has moved to its own domain.

This site is designed to advance research in matters of religion. As a global forum that may be accessed instantaneously anywhere, the internet promises to surpass the impact of the printing press on the study of religion. Gutenberg made possible the family Bible. The WWW puts a global library of free information on the desk of anyone with a computer &telephone line.

Efficient use of these resources, however, requires cataloging. Many religion-related web pages offer lists of links to sites of related interest. Some are extensive & a few annotated. Still, important tools & texts are often published & stashed in out of the way corners of the web, like here. To locate them one needs something deeper than a list of favorites, yet more circumspect than a search engine.

This Virtual Religion Index is a tool for students with little time. It analyzes & highlights important content of religion-related websites to speed research. Hyperlinks are provided not only to homepages but to major directories & documents within. Our purpose is not to circumvent tours of worthy sites, but to cut down the time spent on surfing & sorting of gopher searches. After all if you know what source has information you can use, chances are you will visit it more often. We offer this free service in hope that you will come here again & again.
