GOD is power or Truth = the source or supply of power Satan is a lie that wants to be Truth or GOD = the demand for power. GOD does not supply Satan with what Satan wants…only what Satan needs. That is where you all come into play…since you all are supplied with power by GOD. Satan uses what power Satan has to deceive all of you into believing Satan is GOD and if you all choose to be deceived and supply Satan or the lie you believe is GOD or Truth with power. Satan becomes more powerful and you all become less powerful. Over time you all become all powerless and Satan or the lie you worship as Truth or GOD becomes all powerful and rules you all. My name is Michael…I know Truth so I know where power comes from and GOD is power. Satan is ignorant of Truth or GOD and constantly asks me where GOD obtains all the power of GOD from. But when I try to cause Satan or ignorance incarnate to become knowledgeable of GOD. Satan becomes upset and tries to annihilate me for refusing to supply what Satan wants. ---

The first actual reference to the smoking of hemp-seed is in Herodotus, among the Scythians. As far as I know, it was never practiced in the ME - though of course, it is not impossible.

Their women make a mixture of cypress, cedar, and frankincense wood, which they pound into a paste upon a rough piece of stone, adding a little water to it.

A sweet odour is thereby imparted to them, and when they take off the plaster on the day following, their skin is clean and glossy. _Sorta_ like patchouli … 😉 ---
