I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2012 and was involved in getting Bitcoin accepted by various Companies. I did a campaign to get Steemit in the News, which got it to $5 for the first time and solidified it's name in the Crypto-world, and I can get the attention of Media and Journalists when the Market Cap of any Coin goes up by $100,000,000.00 or so within a week or less. I recently discovered how to create my own Genesis Blocks, and have been putting together a Team of Developers.

Let me explain how I discovered Bitcoin. One day, I wanted to know how to get to the Silk Road,I just decided that I wanted to see what it was. I had been shown it 1 time previously randomly, glancingly, years before. And I just wanted to see what it was because it was becoming a big topic again. I found a link on Reddit, and had to download the Onion Browser. I found the Silk Road and everything was marked with a little bitcoin dollar symbol. So I copied and pasted the Bitcoin dollar symbol into Google, because I was confused by it, and didn't know if it was dollars, or some thing for their website or whatever. So I googled the symbol and found Bitcoin, and Bitcointalk. And started the Bitcointown Concept, then Bud Light Copied me with their town and the character advertising it and everything went crazy from there (that's not all that happened Nationally with me and the Media, but that is where everything really started).

That is why Temple Coin is represented by ॐand ཨ because it needs the symbol. And those symbols mean more than "Money".

I am going to explain my Experience with Religion, in order to help people better understand how I became an American Hindu at age 14, and started the Shaivite Temple and the first Religious American Marijuana Strains in a World of Modern Medical and Recreational Strains.

I was born and raised in and around Dallas TX, on January 20th 1992 to Tracy Lopez and Scott Gallagher. As of writing this I have only ever been north of Colorado to go to Canada once and Illinois a few times, where my Dads family lives in a small town called Antioch. The name of that town was actually suggested as a joke by the less Religious townspeople, but the more Religious ones went with it, and that is what it is called. I have lived in Dallas TX, Austin TX, Lafayette LA, Corona CA, Kino Bay Sonora MX (Mexico), Portales NM, Marathon Key FL, Goulds FL, Pueblo CO, Denver CO. And have visited other States and Countries.

I was mainly raised by my Mom. My Dad was focused on Paper and Ink, and Printing; at one point when I was a baby living in Mesquite, right next to the worst Neighborhood in Dallas, someone lived with us who used my Dads Print Shop to print Counterfeit money, because it is the same equipment they use at the Mint. But when I was young, my Mom would tell me Come put your hand on the Ouija board, it needs more energy. I would say that she is a Spiritualist; and we have had many many experiences with the Spirit World as a family, including the Death of my 12 year old brother Mason in 2013.

I was raised Christian, but we had Spell Books in our house, and were introduced to various Homeopathic Practitioners, and Acupuncturists, Mediums, Chiropractors, and things like NAET. And though I was raised in a Methodist Church, as soon as I went through Confirmation and was introduced to other Churches and Religions, I was no longer a Christian. I went through Confirmation, but I was not Truly Confirmed because I was not Christian. This is when I began to really seek out the answer to the question Which Religion is right? and my brothers were both beginning to become old enough to understand some things, so I began preforming tests. I wanted to know how much of Reality was founded on belief. So I would do things like tell my little brothers If you believe that this wood is water, you can put your hand through it, and I would test them (this will be continued in part 2, as it is the foundation of my understanding of Science in a Religious sense that allows me to break everything down so easily when explaining Chemistry, etc). During this same time we began to introduce friends in our Home Town to our Spiritual Beliefs, and we would use Ouija boards, and I have been with a group to hold a Seyonce at the Town Lake near the Movie Theater. Then when I turned 14 I Converted to Islam, and was interested in Wicca, and eventually tried Marijuana for the first time, and for most people they may try Marijuana and decide that they like to use Marijuana and say I am so high right now, which is actually a waste. What I discovered was that if I used Marijuana, and took that mental state and used it to read encyclopedias, and read Religious books, and read anything you could, that Marijuana provides you something. And I slowly realized that this was God, that I had found God. First I read the Bible at the age of 14, cover to cover, and I decided that the Bible was like a History book; with people having sex with their fathers to continue their families, and people killing their families to take power, and people killing other people to make sure their Gods dont come back, and I found it to be lacking as a Religious Text.

I read the Quran, and was told about the Miracles in the Quran, and Muslim friends of mine in Highschool explained how their Family member had experienced the Power of God over Evil Spirits; and for a while, I even converted to Islam. For people who dont know, Islam is a Religion of Symbols and Talismans which protect you from Evil and Magic, that is a big part of Islam. And Satan refuses to bow to Adam (humans) because he is made of Fire and Light, while we are made of Dust. But I eventually discovered the Rig Veda, and Converted to Hinduism.

Hinduism to me is the only real Religion. With Christianity, you may experience an Evil Spirit, and you pray to God, and close your eyes, and hold something tight, and the Evil may dissipate. But you did not see your God, you may be able to call on your God, you may be able to see Jesus, you may be able to feel your God, you may be able to see his Miracles and presence in the World. But you can not see your God. In Hinduism, the Gods are real. Shiva is present on Earth in the Physical form of Marijuana, in the Metaphysical form of Dancing, and in Yoga, and in Meditation. Shiva is present in all of these things. While Agni is Fire, the messenger, no different from the Wing Footed Mercury of the Greek Religion, Agni, Fire, is the messenger of the Gods. And when you burn something, it is like sending it as a Broadcast directly to God. This is why as Hindus we cremate our Dead, I personally carry my brothers ashes in a Silver Container on a Chain around my neck. Surya is the Sun, the literally physical Sun in the Sky, the God which provides plants with the energy to create energy that is then used by all other lifeforms on Earth. Without the Sun, there would be no Calories and the world would wither away.

And if you read the Christian Bible, or the Quran, or most other texts, they are full of Evil, and a God that protects you from Evil, but at a price. In Hinduism, the book is about asking God for a Winning Horse, and a prosperity, Milk and Butter. About thanking the World and Circumstances. The Hindu Religious text is what Christians pretend their Religious text is when they are telling you not to listen to the guys with the megaphones talking about fire and Brimstone. In Hinduism, there is no Heaven and Hell, you are reincarnated. And there are Cycles to the Universe, similarly to how every year there is Winter (death) and Spring (rebirth). In Hinduism there are larger Cycles, and the Universe goes through these Cycles. It is called Dharma, or the Law of the Universe.

Gandhi explains God as this Law:

Transcript of the Speech in that video
There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses.

But it is possible to reason out the existence of God to an [unintelligible] exchange. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules, or why, and how he rules. And yet they know that there is a power that certainly rules.

In my tour last year in Mysore I met many poor villagers and I found upon inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simple said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am infinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the King of kings.

Nevertheless I do feel as the poor villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe. There is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is not a blind law, for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings. And thanks to the marvelous researches of Sir J.C. Bose, it can now be proved that even matter is life.

That law then which governs all life is God. Law and the Lawgiver are one. I may not deny the law or the Lawgiver because I know so little about it or him, just as my denial or ignorance of the existence of an earthly power will avail me nothing. Even so, my denial of God and his law will not liberate me from its operation. Whereas, humble and mute acceptance of divine authority makes lifes journey easier even as the acceptance of earthly rule makes life under it easier.

I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever dying, ever guiding, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together; that creates, dissolves, and recreates. That informing power of spirit is God. And since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, he alone is.

And if this power is benevolent or malevolent, I see it as purely benevolent. For, I can see that in the midst of death, life persists. In the midst of untruth, truth persists. In the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, truth, light. He is love. He is the supreme good. But, he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect, if he ever does. God to be God must rule the heart and transform it. He must express himself in ever smallest act of his [goodery?]. This can only be done through a definite realization more real than the fives senses can ever prove use.

Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses it is [imperial?], it is proved not by extreme extraneous evidence, but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within. Such testimony is to be found in the experiences of an unbroken line of prophets and sages in all countries and climes. To reject this evidence is to deny oneself. This realization is preceded by an immovable faith. He who would in his own person, test the fact of Gods presence can do so by a living faith.

And since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence, the safest course is to believe in the moral government of the world and therefore in the supremacy of the moral law, the law of truth and love. Exercise of faiths will be the safest where there is the clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to truth and love.

I confess that I have no argument to convince through reason. Faith transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible.

I saw this on Facebook and have been mining since day one. I am in full support of this project and it's values, it's openness to newbies and helping people see the potential of crypto.

I believe these coins will be very valuable, and if you have not had the chance to get any now is definitely the time to do it.

I have this coin and been in from the start, i don't know anything about mining these coins and i'm far too busy to learn so i set this up https://twitter.com/ElixinolCbdOil let it run on auto posting apps to help.

I get between 0.5 - 2.0 templecoins mined all day long, no idea how it works or what it even is .... i heard the word "seeds can be bought with 10K coins" so i was like ok lets go !

i own http://potads.ml and work for some major seedbanks ... hoping one day the templecoin can be used to buy seeds on the sites in the future, or even on our site as currency for the members etc.

anyways hi and bye, please don't ask too much as i know nothing about bitcoin wizardry
