| Next Month's CAFE WORD is... OFFSPRING Your are invited to share your insights and perceptions of the words here at THE WORD CAFÉ! Write or email us with your contribution to this group exercise... or just submit a note right now! While we sometimes look up the definition or history of the word, the goal is still to draw from what you discovered and write your own insights about one of the many spiritual concepts that all subjects can embody. |
C.E. Chaffin starts us off … Coffee is a stimulant, a
soporific (sleep inducer) and compares this quality in
coffee to Yahshua. He is “coffee” for the world.
Like coffee, Yahshua is many things to many people.
When we share coffee with others we bring out our
finest flavored coffee and give freely. When sharing
Yahshua with others we bring forth the finest flavors in
ourselves.
Roger Schaffer says…I could not think of a way to
relate this word to a spiritual concept. I thought and
thought. The only thing I could come up with was, The
Power of Healing. How do I relate this? Well. I thought
about John Coffee the Big Black Man. Spelt the same
as the drink. Remember the movie The Green Mile
with Tom Hanks and The Big Black Man. Don’t
remember his real name. The movie gives us a very
good example of how the Healing Power Works.
Though this is Hollywood’s portrayal of how it works
with visuals. But in reality we don’t really see vapors
and such, but the Power of Healing is none the less
real. John Coffee had the Power of Healing he didn’t
know how or why it worked. To him it just worked and
was very real.
Teresa Hanson notes that it is like the Holy Spirit
among us… sometimes bitter but necessary.
Joyce Tintjer writes….I write this as I’m drinking my
first cup of coffee for the day. Coffee is my favorite
drink. I always begin my day with a cup of coffee, so
what parallels do I see that are of a spiritual
archetype?
Let’s look at coffee’s properties. It’s a stimulant,
contains anti-oxidants, and is mildly addictive. An it
tastes good. We need to be stimulated in our spiritual
development, something to spur us on to a closer walk
with Yahweh and Yahshua. That stimulant is the Holy
Spirit.
Anti-oxidants protect us on a physical level, but we
also need a spiritual anti-oxidant to protect us from
our natural inclinations,, which fight against our
spiritual inclinations. This anti-oxidant is Yahshua. He
boosts our spiritual immune system. The right kind of
addiction can be good. We should be addicted to
prayer and Bible study.
When I was a child we had a plaque on the wall with a
quote from Psalms 34:8…”O taste and see that the
Lord (Yahweh) is good…”We can know Yahweh’s
ultimate mindset towards us. He gives us good things,
things that taste good and are also good for us, like
coffee.
In May of 1996 the Spiral Path letter had this
suggestion in a box beneath a steaming cup of coffee.
“Try beginning each morning with a cuppa coffee and
a meditation session on these studies…” A good
suggestion!
Gary Hanson – the Dictionary he checked with looks
at coffee…as .A Social Gathering at which coffee is
served. “He tells people at Coffees’ that he is doing
the work.”
Social Gathering ….Luke 7:36-50
--Yahshua invited to a Pharisees Social gathering.
--Prostitute (most likely) comes in:
A. Recognizes him as Savior
B. Demonstrates gratitude to Yahshua. She is used as
a positive example to follow (gratitude)
C. Is used as a positive example to follow
D. Is forgiven and served by faith
--Yahshua used the “coffee” to teach everyone a
spiritual insight.
Dina Clark used Wikipedia for coffee itself…
Much processing and human labor is required before
coffee berries and its seed can be processed into the
roasted coffee with which most Western consumers

are familiar. Coffee berries must be picked, defruited,
dried, sorted, and—in some processes—also aged.
Coffee is usually sold roasted, and the roasting
process has a great degree of influence on the taste
of the final product. All coffee is roasted before being
consumed. Coffee can be sold roasted by the
supplier; alternatively it can be home roasted.
Everyday alchemy, coffee roasting coaxes golden
flavor from a bland bean. Unroasted beans boast all of
coffee’s acids, protein, and caffeine—but none of its
taste. It takes heat to spark the chemical reactions
that turn carbohydrates and fats into aromatic oils,
burn off moisture and carbon dioxide, and alternately
break down and build up acids, unlocking the
characteristic and desirable coffee flavor.
She said if, in place of coffee, you look at the
processing of humans… Much processing & labor is
required before a human and its soul can be
processed into the being with which most heavenly
messengers are familiar. Humans must be picked,
defruited of base desires, dried, sorted, and—in some
processes—also aged. Humans are usually share
roasting, and the roasting process has a great degree
of influence on the quality of the final product. All
humans are roasted (heat applied) before being
elevated. Humans can be roasted by the masses;
alternatively each can be individually roasted.
Everyday alchemy, human roasting coaxes golden
energy from a bland being. Unroasted humans boast
all of human’s strengths, potentials and dna strands—
but none of its awakened taste. It takes heat to spark
the chemical reactions that turn carbohydrates and
fats into auracally high energy, burn off moisture and
carbon dioxide, and alternately break down and build
up acids, unlocking the characteristic and desirable
human flavor.
Darlene Chaffin says she does not like the taste of
coffee, but is so drawn to the coffee mug and cup that
it is still one of her favorite things. She likes to really
look into the chosen words’ origin - definition - history,

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages
in the world. It is prepared from the roasted seeds—
commonly referred to as beans—of the coffee plant
and is usually served hot but can also be served cold.
A typical 7 fluid ounce (ca. 207 mL) cup of coffee
contains 80-140 milligrams of caffeine, depending on
the method of preparation. Coffee represents 71% of
all the United States caffeine consumption followed by
soft drinks and tea. In 2003, coffee was the world's
sixth
largest agricultural export in terms of value. Coffee
was at first not well received. In 1511, it was forbidden
for its stimulating effect by conservative, orthodox
imams at a theological court in Mecca. However, the
popularity of the drink - particularly among the Greek
population and the intellectuals - led these bans to be
overturned in 1524 by an order of the Ottoman
Turkish Sultan Selim I. In Cairo, Egypt, a similar ban
was instituted in 1532, and the coffeehouses and
warehouses containing coffee beans were sacked.
From the Muslim world, coffee spread to Europe,
where it became popular during the seventeenth
century. Italian as caffè. The word "coffee" itself came
into use in the last decade of the 16th century.
Coffee contains caffeine, a mild stimulant. Drinking
coffee results in an increase of the heart rate of the
drinker, increased blood flow to the muscles, and an
increase in blood pressure and it causes a decrease
in blood flow to the skin and to the inner organs. Most
importantly for many drinkers, the level of dopamine in
the brain increases. Coffee is mostly consumed
because of its stimulating properties, as an aid to
beginning one's day by reducing the aftereffects of
sleep or as a way to ward off fatigue in general.
I see we could access Yahshua in the same way
many do coffee, for the best stimulation.

This Month's Word... COFFEE By Darlene Chaffin We often label the things in our daily life as not being spiritual. Labels are a box that can shut away the possible insight from a person, place, or thing. Here, at The Word Cafe', we explore the spiritual aspects of seemingly mundane words. Join us as we share our various perceptions into... the things of our world. |
