The leading one was Noble Rishabh and the twenty-fourth one was Noble Mahavir. Exhibit Jainism has Noble Mahavirs pronouncements as the flowerbed. They obscure some of the credo enunciated by the twenty-third Tirthankara Noble Parsva then.Noble Mahavir preached his thinking formerly attaining omniscience. He propounded Religion by goodhearted central denomination to the essence. For him, caste, view and colour were not source. Religion or Religion came to refurbish a summative variety by avowal the revere that casteism is not real.Treating Religion and cabal as two crack fabric unbreakable the basic unity of Religion. Offer can be a plurality of sects but organize can be no plurality of Religion. Utterly Religion consists in subduing sensitivity and ill feeling. It is the extraordinarily for each one and for all mature and all seats.Noble Mahavir gives us the anekanta Morality (<u><b>NON-ABSOLUTISM</b></u>) to manifestation at the world. It is a significantly recycled metaphysical impression and is an driving method in the look for for truth. According to this conception, you cannot take place at the extensive truth with the help of mind perceptions the same as sense hold their limitations- they can at best take place at unwarranted truth. In addition, organize are as manifold facets of truth as organize are matter. Hence, since declaring that a personality chart is nervous, one basic try to perceive its prospective split of truth. This down-to-earth but summative stand up of the Jain Religion near the look for for truth is heaps to end in it the cachet of a world religion.Later than Acharya Tulsi was camping in Hissar (<u><b>HARYANA</b></u>).

Take possession of of all religions are wearying to turn their religions concerning world religions. But the Jains are totally inactive on this front line. They hold a all-inclusive philosophy honey the anekanta, which qualifies as a world religion, and yet they are lowest maddened about it. I was setback by it. I can not abide my unhappiness and it explains why I hold come expound in this raging heat.Kaka Kalelkars trouble did not only hold a tinge of grief; it then had a lot of truth. The Jain Religion is a fit contender for being a world religion. For it supports everyday unity, explains religion from a non-sectarian skew and concedes unwarranted truth in the doctrines of all other sects.In addition Haughty Articles at articlesworld.comMahapragya Achary is 10th acharya of Terapantht founded by Acharya Bikshu SwamiCompassionate : News-and-Society:Religion<br></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-71240717381994602632015-01-31T23:56:00.000-08:002015-03-22T17:03:52.699-07:00Color<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 75%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;

This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas.<br/><br/>"Om bhur bhuvah svaha, Tat savitur varenyam<br/><br/>Bhargo devasya dheemahi,Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat"<br/><br/><h4 style='font-style: italic;'>Meaning:</h4><br/>O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty, You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction.<br/><br/>The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which somehow got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called Milky Way or Akash-Ganga contains approximately 1,00,000 million of stars. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system.<br/><br/>We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 miles/second.<br/><br/>Now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:<br/><br/>//OM BHUR BHUVAH SVAHA:Bhur: The earthBhuvah: The planets (solar family)Svaha: The Galaxy.<br/><br/>We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second.<br/><br/>This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om.The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to his colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound "<b><i>Om</i></b>" the name of God, because this sound is available in all the three periods of time, hence it is set (<u><b>permanent</b></u>).<br/><br/>Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify formless God with a specific title (<u><b>form</b></u>) called upadhi. Until that time, everybody recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new idea. In the Gita also, it is said, "<b><i>Omiti ekaksharam brahma</i></b>", meaning that the name of the Supreme is Om, which contains only one syllable (<u><b>8/12</b></u>). This sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-brahma a very great noise, but not a noise that is normally heard beyond a specific amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing. Hence the rishis called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, i.e. heaven. They also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity of 20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = 1/2 MV2 and this was balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence they named it Pranavah, which means the body (<u><b>vapu</b></u>) or store house of energy<br/><br/>(prana).<br/><br/>//TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM:<br/><br/>Tat: That GodSavitur: The sun (star)<br/><br/>Varenyam: Worthy of bowing or respect.<br/><br/>Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may locate the specific person. Hence the two titles (<u><b>upadhi</b></u>) provide the solid ground to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested. He told us that we could know (<u><b>realize</b></u>) the unknowable formless God through the known factors, viz., sound Om and light of suns (<u><b>stars</b></u>). A mathematician can solve an equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer can measure the width of a river even by standing at the riverbank just by drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by Vishvamitra in the mantra in the next portion as under:-<br/><br/>//BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI:Bhargo: The light<br/><br/>Devasya: Of the deityDheemahi: We should meditate.<br/><br/>The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (<u><b>light of suns</b></u>) to discover the formless Creator (<u><b>God</b></u>). Also he wants us to do japa of the word Om (<u><b>this is understood in the Mantra</b></u>). This is how the sage wants us to proceed, but there is a great problem to realize it, as the human mind is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (<u><b>Brahma</b></u>) it cannot be controlled. Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as under: //DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT:<br/><br/>Dhiyo: IntellectYo: WhoNah: We allPrachodayat: Guide to right Direction. O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path. Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra: The earth (<u><b>bhur</b></u>), the planets (<u><b>bhuvah</b></u>), and the galaxies (<u><b>svaha</b></u>) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om, (<u><b>the name of formless God</b></u>).<br/><br/>That God (<u><b>tat</b></u>), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (<u><b>savitur</b></u>) is worthy of bowing/respect (<u><b>varenyam</b></u>). We all, therefore, should meditate (<u><b>dheemahi</b></u>) upon the light (<u><b>bhargo</b></u>) of that deity (<u><b>devasya</b></u>) and also do chanting of Om.

Hence it was named as the Pranavah (<u><b>body of energy</b></u>), this is equal to 1/2 mv2. 2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable OM, the other later date religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., Amenand Ameen.ERQ3FCHKA2WB<br/><br/>Credit: <a href='http://pagan-wiccan.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>pagan-wiccan.blogspot.com</a></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-83664327835334184512015-01-22T03:33:00.000-08:002015-03-22T17:03:12.195-07:00Top 5 Bizarre Theories And The Facts Surrounding Them<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 49%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-IKfTCfTPKHY/U_i-NuiRkkI/AAAAAAAAD5o/Uw4yPIMHThg/The%252520Lost%252520Meaning%252520Of%252520Halloween.jpg" border="0" alt="Top 5 Bizarre Theories And The Facts Surrounding Them" title="Top 5 Bizarre Theories And The Facts Surrounding Them" /></a></div></span><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;">5. TERRAFORMED MARS<br/><br/> "<b><i>The theory</i></b>": The theory here is that Mars is already being terraformed behind our backs by groups such as NASA and the ESA, it is a fairly new claim and is supported only by speculation and a few pictures.<br/><br/> "<b><i>The facts</i></b>": First off the price, it seems almost no theorist takes price into account when they come up with these ideas, NASA is already having trouble as it is keeping themselves funded. The price of bringing something to Mars that could terraform it would cost billions, possibly even trillions. The computer <br/><br/>technology required to make sure it did every little thing right would cost even more. Not to mention the time, it takes a Lander to get to Mars from earth so something that big would take years to get there and might not even work when it did. Our best bet for terraforming Mars at the moment is to take prehistoric microbes that feed off carbon dioxide and others gases and let them form Mars in the same way scientists think they formed earth. Of course this in itself would take millions of years, at the present there seems no way to terraform Mars and no reason to.<br/><br/> 4. HEALING THOUGHTS<br/><br/> "<b><i>The Theory</i></b>": The theory is that using your mind to think positive and encourage yourself and others to feel better really helps and can replace medicine.<br/><br/> "<b><i>The facts</i></b>": Sadly this is believed by many people, and though it certainly can't hurt for the common cold, since rest and relaxation are the best things for it after all. For more serious diseases people who really believe in this may not go to a doctor, and as such they can damage their body, or even kill themselves. This is no more effective than prayer which when it does seem to work can be explained away as coincidence. Many people actually do believe in it and luckily for some of them the placebo effect makes a major appearance, since they think their getting better, their bodies get stronger and they do sometimes pull through.<br/><br/> 3. CHAKRAS<br/><br/> "<b><i>The Theory</i></b>": We each have seven chakras going down from the top of our head to our feet, they can be used for a variety of things and awakening one can usually help you with a specific thing, such as enhanced hearing, sudden realization and the list goes on.<br/><br/> "<b><i>The facts</i></b>": There is no way to prove these things exist. But people believe in them, some more so than a soul. They are usually connected with paranormal cases and as such usually don't have any specific stories all their own. Though there have been some reports of people having slightly greater abilities or knowing what will happen before it does. This is usually explained by a '<i>sixth sense</i>', often described as the brain's way to activate the subconscious mind which helps us gather information and process it in such a way that we don't know how we acquired it but we have the information. This can explain why people think they've been to places they never have, and many other feelings of that nature; this can also explain away almost all if not all of the chakra cases.<br/><br/> 2. HOLOGRAPHIC-REALITY<br/><br/> "The Theory: "The theory here is that life does not exist, we are all in fact test programs in a giant virtual reality or the players of that reality itself.<br/><br/> "<b><i>The facts:</i></b>" Once again there is no specific way to disprove this theory. Though it would mean in reality we would probably look much different or not exist at all. There is not much of a base for this to stand on, since it is another 'can't prove can't disprove' paradox, it is back to our own judgment. Strange as it may seem this theory could explain a lot of the problems with the world and things such as carbon dating. If we all were/are just test subjects in a large-scale virtual reality test, then all of the anomalies we find, and many of the world mysteries could be explained as bugs and glitches in the program. There is no solid proof that it does exist though, and it is most likely just generated by people's fears of the age of technology we're stepping into, and what it may do to us.<br/><br/> 1. RELIGION<br/><br/> "<b><i>The Theory:</i></b>" Though the theory varies greatly from religion to religion, most of them believe that there is a being or beings greater then anything else in the universe that created the earth. It is still generally accepted in western civilization that there is a god.<br/><br/> "<b><i>The facts:</i></b>" We find ourselves at another paradox, there is no way to prove or disprove any religion. Many believers in their religion will often say god is testing us as he has faked much of the things we see in history. Such as dinosaur bones being millions of years old. However skeptics usually point out other facts, such as the second you accept one religion you are literally rejecting thousands of others. Skeptics will also point to the overwhelming evidence that all so-called effects of prayer can be explained through mere coincidence. They will also point to errors in the Bible writings, and problems with the whole idea of heaven in general. Despite this evidence many people continue to worship their gods. Skeptics generally believe that religion was established for one of two reasons. Reason one because people were scared and looked for a way to say this life isn't all you get. The second reason is that people were confused and tried to come up with an answer as to why and how all this stuff got here, so they came up with the ideas of gods. None the less following certain things from certain religions isn't necessarily a bad thing. The one common thing you will find in all religions usually written in different words but with the same meaning: do unto others what you would want others to do to you. A fine motto to live by.<br/><br/><h4 style='font-style: italic;'>source</h4><br></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-8422099380685615252015-01-17T09:37:00.000-08:002015-03-24T18:09:11.424-07:00Free Download Hermann Hesse Siddhartha<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 73%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><a href="http://wizard-notes.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Wr3YXKf2w_g/VRIKs4dby9I/AAAAAAAARFk/kW29kjh44JY/Free%252520Download%252520Hermann%252520Hesse%252520Siddhartha.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Download Hermann Hesse Siddhartha" title="Free Download Hermann Hesse Siddhartha" /></a></div></center><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;"> "Siddhartha learned something new on every step of his path, for the world was transformed, and his heart was enchanted. He saw the sun rising over the mountains with their forests and setting over the distant beach with its palm-trees. At night, he saw the stars in the sky in their fixed positions and the crescent of the moon floating like a boat in the blue. He saw trees, stars, animals, clouds, rainbows, rocks, herbs, flowers, stream and river, the glistening dew in the bushes in the morning, distant hight mountains which were blue and pale, birds sang and bees, wind silverishly blew through the rice-field. All of this, a thousand-fold and colouful, had always been there, always the sun and the moon had shone, always rivers had roared and bees had buzzed, but in former times all of this had been nothing more to Siddhartha than a fleeting, deceptive veil before his eyes, looked upon in distrust, destined to be penetrated and destroyed by thought, since it was not the essential existence, since this essence lay beyond, on the other side of, the visible. <br/><br/>But now, his liberated eyes stayed on this side, he saw and became aware of the visible, sought to be at home in this world, did not search for the true essence, did not aim at a world beyond. Beautiful was this world, looking at it thus, without searching, thus simply, thus childlike. Beautiful were the moon and the stars, beautiful was the stream and the banks, the forest and the rocks, the goat and the gold-beetle, the flower and the butterfly. Beautiful and lovely it was, thus to walk through the world, thus childlike, thus awoken, thus open to what is near, thus without distrust. Differently the sun burnt the head, differently the shade of the forest cooled him down, differently the stream and the cistern, the pumpkin and the banana tasted. Short were the days, short the nights, every hour sped swiftly away like a sail on the sea, and under the sail was a ship full of treasures, full of joy.<br/><br/>All of this had always existed, and he had not seen it; he had not been with it. Now he was with it, he was part of it. Light and shadow ran through his eyes, stars and moon ran through his heart..."- Hermann Hesse, "Siddhartha"oFREE download, in PDF format, of "<b><i>Siddhartha,</i></b>" by Hermann Hesse is here:<br/><br/><h4 style='font-style: italic;'>- http://manybooks.net/titles/hesseheretext01siddh10.html</h4><br></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-26847249122734912292015-01-15T14:24:00.000-08:002015-01-20T19:27:41.788-08:00Xiaxue Has A Secret<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 54%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xBcZH_398G0/VL8cqrwPoWI/AAAAAAAAQXk/nQYhFmNGlm4/Xiaxue%252520Has%252520A%252520Secret.jpg" border="0" alt="Xiaxue Has A Secret" title="Xiaxue Has A Secret" /></div></span><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;">Actually it's "<b><i>The Secret</i></b>" - you know - the updated Wallace Wattles "<b><i>life strategy</i></b>" <br/> Remember Guru James Arthur Ray (<u><b>who is one of the "<b><i>stars</i></b>" in "<b><i>The Secret</i></b>" DVD?</b></u>) Something happened to Mr. Ray on his way to spiritual enlightenment: he bumped into the dollar.

"<b><i>Vishuddha</i></b>" is known as the "<b><i>purification center.</i></b>" The Sanskrit word "<b><i>shuddha</i></b>" or "<b><i>shuddhi</i></b>" means "<b><i>to purify,</i></b>" and in this chakra the purifying and harmonizing of all opposites takes place. The "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>" is situated within the sushumna nadi at the base of the throat. "<b><i>It is said that the throat chakra</i></b>" is the spiritual energy center concerned with how we communicate and express ourselves in the world. It is also through the "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>" that we develop the faculty of higher discrimination and fully recognize the fact that the mind substances are the fundamental essences of the world. This knowledge is gained not by mere speculation but by experience once the "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>" is fully awakened.SPIRITUAL POWERS OF THE THROAT CHAKRA"By meditation on vishuddha (<u><b>throat chakra</b></u>), the mind becomes pure like the akasha. One becomes a great sage, eloquent and wise and enjoys uninterrupted peace of mind. Amrit can be felt as a cold fluid flowing into the chakra and the aspirant becomes free from disease and sorrow, he is compassionate, full of bliss and long lived." - Swami Satyananda Saraswati, Kundalini TantraIn many systems of yoga, meditating on the different chakras of the body allows the person to attain different kinds of spiritual power or what the Hindus call "<b><i>siddhis.</i></b>" The following is a list of siddhis associated with the "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>": * Clairaudience: Knowledge of the Sounds/Language of All Beings * Freedom From Hunger And Thirst * The Power Of Levitation (<u><b>Laghima</b></u>) * Super Hearing (<u><b>Hearing At Vast Distances</b></u>) * Ability To Travel Through Space (<u><b>Teleportation</b></u>) * Mastery Of The Elements (<u><b>Ether</b></u>) * Mastery Over The Five Senses Of The Body (Hearing)PRACTICES FOR THE THROAT CHAKRAThere are many practices for controlling or balancing the energy that goes through the "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>". The following practices are used mainly in the tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. 1. ASANAS (<u><b>YOGIC POSTURES</b></u>) - "<b><i>Asana</i></b>" is defined as "<b><i>posture;</i></b>" its literal meaning is "<b><i>seat.</i></b>" Asanas greatly stimulate and influence the functioning of the endocrine system. The following asanas are useful in awakening the throat chakra: vipareeta karani asana, pawanmuktasana, chakrasana, dhanurasana, marjariasana, matsyasana, paschimottanasana, and ushtrasana.2. JALANDHARA BANDHA - "<b><i>Jalandhara bandha</i></b>" or "<b><i>chin lock</i></b>" consists in pressing the chin close to the chest and dropping the head to help in maintaining immobility of muscle and air movements. Jalandhara bandha regulates the circulatory and respiratory systems, stimulates the thyroid to balance metabolism, and is said to cure all diseases of the throat. Jalandhara bandha is contraindicated in high blood pressure and heart disease.3. KHECHARI MUDRA - "<b><i>Khechari mudra</i></b>" is a yoga practice which is carried out by placing the tongue above the soft palate and into the nasal cavity. It is said that a person who has mastered this technique is freed from old age and death in this world.4. UJJAYI PRANAYAMA - "<b><i>Ujjayi</i></b>" literally means "<b><i>victoriously uprising</i></b>" or "<b><i>victory from expansion.</i></b>" This refers to the upward movement of prana. Pranayama means "<b><i>restraint of the prana or breath.</i></b>" Ujjayi pranayama is sometimes called the ocean sounding breath. Inhalation and exhalation are both done through the nose. The air is taken into the back of the throat with a constriction of the muscles, resulting in a hissing sound - an ocean sound.5. SAMYAMA MEDITATION - Samyama meditation is a combined simultaneous practice of "<b><i>dharaa</i></b>", "<b><i>dhyana</i></b>", and "<b><i>samadhi</i></b>". These techniques primarily belong to the classical yoga called Raja Yoga or "<b><i>royal union.</i></b>" According to this system of yoga, meditating on the "<b><i>throat chakra</i></b>" using this technique allows the practitioner to have full control of its power.

Bells, prior to being lifted to their height, are tested by blows from a hammer and when they give out an unpleasant sound they are discarded. Such is the will of God: He does not lift His chosen ones to the heights prior to testing them with frequent crosses and grief in order to see the fulfillment of their endurance and what kind of and how pleasant a sound they emit. At one time God tested His great "<b><i>bell</i></b>" Job. The hand of God touched him. Would you like to know the tool He used? The hammer of the world, that is, the devil. But what sound did this "<b><i>bell</i></b>" emit? "<b><i>The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!</i></b>" (<u><b>Job 1:21</b></u>). What a pleasant sound! But Job was still further subjected to beating. He came under the power of the devil, and his whole body was struck down; from head to toe pus and worms covered him, and he sat in his discharge. Do you hear what blows he received? But now hear what his voice gave forth: "<b><i>Shall we not receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?</i></b>" (<u><b>Job 2:10</b></u>). Oh, what a strong voice! Oh, what a sweet sound! Who, being asleep, is not awakened by it? (<u><b>Blessed Augustine, "Discussion on Psalm 97"</b></u>). Blessed be this "<b><i>bell</i></b>" emitting such a blessed sound! This is the indication of a good man, a man grateful to God. And here is the sign of an ungrateful man: if some misfortune comes upon him, he complains, laments, opposes, grieves excessively, praises his own deeds and proves his innocence (<u><b>St. Antioch, "Discussion 117"</b></u>). What more is there to say? The good and the evil are like two full dishes, one filled with precious aromas, the other with evil-smelling matter (<u><b>Blessed Augustine, "Letter 111: To Theodorus"</b></u>). Thus the good and the evil are being frequented by misfortune without distinction, but by this affliction itself, one is being separated from the other by the all-wise providence of God. The good, when any misfortune befalls them, offer their thanks to God Who deigns to punish them; but the arrogant, sensual and money-loving blaspheme and grumble at God saying, "O God, what evil did we do that we are suffering so?"Source: "<b><i>The Royal Way of the Cross of Our Lord Leading to Eternal Life</i></b>", trans.

These frequencies are then transduced and transmitted by the Sun to the Earth. In sequence, the Earth then transforms these energies in communication with all life on the planet. The higher frequency energy is part of a Divine timing sequence of elevating the Earth and human consciousness. The higher dimensional information and consciousness is interacting with humanity in a harmonic resonance that is assisting humanity to awaken and remember our true infinite being. The awareness and expression of humanity's infinite Divine consciousness in soul and spirit through the consciousness vehicle of mind and body has not been lived on Earth for several hundred thousand years. As a result of an infiltration of an inharmonic fear-based conflict, control, and separation conditioning into human consciousness, humanity has searched outside for rules, leadership, and systems of living that would express true human nature. All of the historical systems of culture have been part of a deception that has conditioned a false fear-based view of human nature. All of the systems organize external ideas and impress that humanity must become something that it is not by nature-the thoughts on the change of our being include salvation, transformation, enlightenment, alchemy, etc. THE FALSE CONDITIONING OF HUMANITY IN A FEAR-BASED EXTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM In both overt ways and in very subtle ways, the systems of organization and transformation reinforce the fear-based system. The so called "<b><i>answers</i></b>" are revealed in some sort of specific content that is part of humanity becoming something new. In reality, we already are an infinite consciousness of Divine love and creativity. Our difficulty and challenge is not to become something else, but to awaken and remember who we already are. Now it is true that awakening and remembering is a life journey of deep healing, changing of beliefs and emotional encodings, and doing the work in order to resonate with a higher consciousness of soul/spirit that is lived through a body consciousness. We can perceive "<b><i>transforming</i></b>" or "<b><i>evolving</i></b>" in this way, but not in a way that is a change of our nature of who we are as infinite Divine spirit/soul within incarnate form on Earth. All content based systems develop the mind and body to adhere to some external control group, network, organization, or system. The very beliefs and actions of an external controlling content system are part of the veiling of our true human nature. They move the attention away from our truth that is only found within the consciousness of the heart. While incarnate, the heart is our connection to our infinite Divine awareness, and the oneness of our full consciousness capabilities with the physical frequencies of the body. Some of these abilities include intentional creativity and manifestation, telepathy, and harmonic cellular regeneration. All of our actions of communication and creativity emanate from our interior consciousness technology. Our unique mission, soul frequency, and infinite being comes from within. Any external system must by its very nature pull us outside of our true being under fear-based ways of authority, ruling, and controlling. Therefore, true freedom is only manifested within the heart, soul, and spirit of our interior consciousness. It is only here where we have knowledge. Any other ideas or thinking is a lesser frequency of various mind functions. Only within do we open to and acknowledge the true responsibility to our being and Divine source. Within this responsible freedom, we act on our love, goodness, and creativity as part of our experience and expression of life that is a unitary endeavor with all. We are Divine light, consciousness, and energy. We are an infinite freedom of being that is a gift of Divine love. We have an unprecedented opportunity with our incarnation on Earth to remember and restore our true Divine love and eternal freedom within our experience. The most we can truly say at this point in a time of shifting energetic frequencies, is that the current awakening is part of a Divine timing sequence for our experience of our soul journey on Earth. This time is not occurring from prior content systems of prophecy, cycles, etc. It is time for us to truly begin to look within the freedom of our true nature and move beyond the reliance on all content systems that continue to keep us imprisoned in conflict, control, and separation frequencies. AWAKENING INNER FREEDOM BEYOND THE EXTERNAL AUTHORITATIAN SYSTEM We are not saying to forego all organized thought, community sharing, books, as well as different viewpoints of approach and ideas on the awakening to higher knowledge. All of our gifts of mind and lower vibrational languages, empirical knowledge, and beliefs need to be in service of our life mission through the knowledge and wisdom from our heart, soul, and Divine being. We can no longer both look within and also continue to adhere to an external authority to know our human nature. It is time to shift beyond all of the false conditioning and remember our infinite Divine consciousness. All of the false identities and fears that maintain conflict and control must be relinquished. The external control system that has infiltrated humanity on Earth maintains its centralized authoritarian control through the false self-identity. This identity lives in fear because of the false belief that something is wrong with our human nature-thus humanity is conditioned to look outside for love, acceptance, and the answers to life. This has been done through the deceptive conditioning within human institutions, cultures, and social systems. The whole manipulating intelligence of the last thousands of years has instituted a false programming of control and authority by veiling human consciousness from its infinite being within. The entire conditioning of humans that their nature is flawed prevents them from being themselves. As a result they do not express Divine love, power, and creativity. Humanity has been deceived in following an external authority. As humanity awakens, we will see that this authority system has been universal within all culture. All external content managing systems of ruling, authority and control inhibit freedom. Authentic freedom can never be defined from the outside. The very instant that humans resonate with this frequency of external symbol, figure, language, or person, human Divine power and energy is siphoned off. By forgetting who we really are, humanity has completely lost sight of the creative and cooperative process where we know our freedom and being from within as we experience others and the perceived outside world. When we awaken and connect to our infinite free being, the conflict and control frequencies with others and the outside no longer resonate. All the knowledge, freedom, goodness, understanding, and creativity of being is our true nature. Now, the true gift of others and the outside perceived experience of this holographic Earth experience can be shared in joyful freedom. We are an infinite consciousness of pure love with a purpose to love and create with one another through infinite choices of love and creativity. Love experienced in biological consciousness vehicles we refer to as the "<b><i>physical body</i></b>" is part of the eternal soul experience in the dimensional universe and dimensionless spiritual realms. Our freedom and direction emanates from the Divine source that is the center of being. It is time to fully awaken to who we really are as authentic freedom of consciousness, and to live our unique mission of being in a unity consciousness with all. AWAKENING DIVINE AWARENESS AND MOVING INTO THE NEXT SEQUENCE OF DIMENSIONAL ASCENSION As the 3D hologram continues to devolve into a more overt transhumanist authoritarian control system, it is important to move attention and intention to our Divine freedom of being. The awakening and ascending is a shift of consciousness. Within this aspect of shifting intensity, the Divine timing is sequencing a Dimensional ascension which is a change in organization of the holographic frequency to a higher dimensional oscillation. The choice to ascend with this frequency manifestation on Earth amidst an intensifying devolving 3D frequency through the infiltrating external control structure is within the energetic frequency of freedom of being. The pure freedom of being is a trust in one's Divine goodness and infinite love that we are within the Divine source. Our mission now is to awaken to our heart-centered Divine unity by opening the heart and Divine mind of interior consciousness. We do this not only within some established pathway or system that has been infiltrated by an authoritarian control system, but by directly resonating with the truth and love in our soul and spirit of infinite Divine consciousness. By awakening at this level, we will go beyond just accessing higher consciousness at the higher mind/chakras and truly be this awareness directly through the physical body and cellular consciousness. It is this commitment to remembering the freedom and trust of truth and love that will assist us in navigating the challenging times ahead as the 3D matrix devolves, collapses, and dissipates in frequency. As we still participate in the 3D holographic frequency, the transitioning energies of a higher dimension will further integrate with human consciousness and the Earth. Within this awakening to our true nature as Divine infinite consciousness incarnate, we are going beyond all external content systems. All of the content systems of religious, spiritual, esoteric, metaphysical, alchemical, scientific, star being, and inter-dimensional content systems will only progress us so far in our pure awakening to Divine awareness. All of these systems rely upon communicating to the external conceptual organization of the human mind, and therefore are drawn into the authoritarian 3D fear-based control matrix that has infiltrated the perception in this frequency band of experience. The higher frequency energy that is being transmitted to humanity on Earth is assisting us to awaken without a content management system categorizing the truth of our being. This level of awakening directly to our essence, experience, and expression of our Divine Being is the next sequence in dimensional ascension. It is part of the yet unknown timing and manifestation of a holographic change to the dimensional frequency of humanity incarnate on Earth.http://mensajesfedgalacticayashtarcommand.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss<br></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-18359613816145555692015-01-03T10:38:00.000-08:002015-01-14T04:37:57.653-08:00Translating The Trinity For Muslims Sightings<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 54%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_ZTdjpBk2I8/U_i-BNXo6kI/AAAAAAAAD5U/LjV-fNHvGQg/Pagan%252520Events%252520Over%252520Spring%252520Equinox%252520And%252520Ostara.jpg" border="0" alt="Translating The Trinity For Muslims Sightings" title="Translating The Trinity For Muslims Sightings" /></div></span><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;">I want to start off with a confession-- I am a Trinitarian who is in regular conversation with Muslims about what monotheism actually means. I am also part of a Christian communion that has traditionally shied away from making determinative statements on the Trinity -- not with Muslim consciences in mind, but because the word is not present in the New Testament and it took three centuries for the doctrine to be fully defined. In addition, as Miroslav Volf points out the concerns that Muslims have about the Trinity can be relieved if we are careful in our definitions. I say all of this to introduce the Sightings column written by Sarah Yardney that deals with the complaints made against the Wycliffe Bible Translators, whom they charge with removing the Trinity from the New Testament (<u><b>as if the full blown doctrine is actually present</b></u>). As Yardney notes much of the debate focuses on English words, rather than on what would be the best way to translate" Pater" and "huios "into Arabic or Urdu. Besides, if a translation can avoid offending Muslims so that they can get a better sense of the Gospel, why is that a bad thing? Anyway, as I go with my family to meet for lunch with a Muslim friend today, I leave this article for your consideration!"<br/>"Sightings 6/28/2012TRANSLATING THE TRINITY FOR MUSLIMS-- SARAH YARDNEYAn online consortium for ministry to Muslims, Biblical Missiology, has accused Wycliffe Bible Translators of dismantling the Trinity, the Christian doctrine that God is three persons in one, in their translations of the Bible for Muslims. They claim that Wycliffe, a non-profit organization that has translated the Bible into over 700 languages for missionary purposes, has removed the titles "<b><i>Father</i></b>" and "<b><i>Son</i></b>" from their translations for Muslims in response to Islamic influence. Wycliffe defends its choices by explaining that in certain Muslim societies, the titles "<b><i>Father</i></b>" and "<b><i>Son</i></b>" give the impression that God physically had sex with Mary, and the organization wanted to avoid this misunderstanding. In lieu of "<b><i>Father</i></b>" and "<b><i>Son,</i></b>" the titles used in the Wycliffe Arabic and Urdu Bible, among others, "<b><i>are translated more accurately to the inspired Greek.</i></b>" Biblical Missiology, however, argues that the traditional titles give no such impression of carnality and that Wycliffe is distorting the word of God to avoid offending Muslims. We cannot know whether Wycliffe has translated responsibly because the disputed translations are not available to the public: Wycliffe has agreed not to publish them until the organization's translational practices have undergone an audit by a panel assembled by the World Evangelical Alliance. But there are a few things that could be said in response to Biblical Missiology's accusations. First, the claim that the Wycliffe translations fail to represent the Trinity is somewhat disingenuous. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity, which states that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one and the same God, does not appear in the Bible. Although inspired by biblical texts (<u><b>most importantly Matt 28:19 and 2 Cor 13:14</b></u>), the doctrine did not take the form familiar to modern Christians until the Council of Constantinople in 381. Strictly speaking, therefore, a translation of the Bible can neither represent nor fail to represent the Trinity because the Trinity is not in the Bible. It is a concept that developed later. Second, it is problematic that the whole debate, at least at the public level, is taking place in English. Biblical Missiology charges that instead of "<b><i>Father</i></b>" and "<b><i>Son,</i></b>" Wycliffe is using terms like "<b><i>Guardian</i></b>" and "<b><i>Representative.</i></b>" Clearly in English "<b><i>Father</i></b>" and "<b><i>Guardian</i></b>" are not synonymous, nor are "<b><i>Son</i></b>" and "<b><i>Representative,</i></b>" but that is irrelevant. What matters is whether the terms Wycliffe has used in its translations are good equivalents for the Greek "pater "and "<b><i>huios</i></b>", not whether Wycliffe's terms would be rendered into English in the same way the Greek is. A conversation about Wycliffe's translational choices cannot happen responsibly using only English equivalents; it requires precise discussion about the meanings of the Greek terms and the meanings of the terms in the target languages. Otherwise we simply do not know what we are talking about. Of course, it is easy to see why Biblical Missiology prefers to stick to English and not get into the nitty-gritty of Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Bangla, etc. The American Evangelicals whose support they seek probably do not know the languages in question and, more importantly, are emotionally attached to the traditional English titles. What Christian who has been going to church her whole life is going to feel comfortable hearing "<b><i>God the Guardian</i></b>" instead of "<b><i>God the Father,</i></b>" or "This is my beloved Representative, in whom I am well pleased"? By keeping the conversation about English words, Biblical Missiology enhances the sense of threat to Americans' own liturgy and worship practices. Finally, we should be a little suspicious of the charge of Islamic influence. The accusation that the Trinity is being removed from the Bible to avoid offending Muslims sounds rather like the fear that sharia law will supplant the American justice system. One has to wonder whether similar translations into, say, indigenous languages of South America would have elicited such a fervid response. Islam has become America's bogeyman since 9/11, and Americans tend to startle more easily when Muslims are involved. There may be valid objections to raise against Wycliffe's translations, but Biblical Missiology has not raised them.REFERENCESJeff Kunerth, "<b><i>Wycliffe criticized over Bible translations for Muslims, Orlando Sentinel</i></b>", April 29, 2012."Fact Check: Biblical Missiology's Response To Wycliffe's Comments On "Lost In Translation"http://biblicalmissiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LostInTranslation-FactCheck.pdfSARAH YARDNEY is a PhD student in Bible at the University of Chicago Divinity School.

Our hearts go out to those touched by this horrific and senseless event, and we pray for a sound recovery both physically, and psychologically. There are those that don't want to talk about it. They think that contextualizing it is for selfish gain and disrespectful to the victims. The hard reality is that this, like any event, is already contextualized and discussion can not only be for non-selfish reasons, but can in some instances honor the dead by not letting them go in vain. We believe now is an apt time to discuss gun control. You may question what this situation and the relevant laws and ideas behind it have to do with religion in general, let alone an ONLINE CHURCH like the ULC. But gun laws impact life - just the same as abortion, the death penalty, and euthanasia. How a society respects life and death is very much an ethical and a spiritual issue. Religion, even an online church, concerns itself with quality of life, moral judgment, justice, and death - all of which are central to the aforementioned topics, including gun control. The events of Colorado beg the question, in that they likely could have happened under any regime of gun control, loose or strict. The weapons and ammunition were obtained legally by a man with no previous record of violence. There isn't a swath of laws we could have implemented that also wouldn't place undue burden on the hunter, or the father of three who wants to protect his family, or the woman who has to walk home alone from work at night through a tough neighborhood. We can't demand an impossible quality of character for would-be gun owners to the extent that only the saints could enjoy the second amendment. This is particularly true when we consider that any new laws would come after looser restrictions governed that allowed very unsavory characters to bear arms. Its tough to speculate what reasonable laws could stop a determined indvidual with no prior record of violence What can and should be controlled, however, is what exactly is available for prospective gun owners. The UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH respects your right to bear arms, but the second amendment doesn't guarantee any particular type of weapons be available, just that some are. It takes a stretch of reasoning to argue that the Constitution provides that any individual has a fundamental right to tear gas or automatic and semi-automatic rifles. Making weapons like these near impossible to obtain doesn't infringe upon the father protecting his family or woman ensuring her safety. We must also consider the duty of businesses where large numbers of people gather to provide some extent of security. Many government institutions like schools and court houses have metal detectors. Would you elect to suspend your right to privacy to pass through a secured entrance for places you shop and visit, and how much protection can that offer considering the shooter in Colorado entered through an emergency exit? Many religions decry violence as a response to violence. Since you chose to get ordained to BE A PASTOR with the Universal Life Church, you may hold such a view yourself. While this is a perfectly valid moral conviction, as Americans, we must respect the law of the land, and the Constitution provides for our right to bear arms. Given that fact, what are your thoughts on gun control, and do you think to be a pastor is to hold a stricter outlook on the matter? Does the choice to GET ORDAINED fundamentally influence your political outlook? We welcome this discussion, as ministers of the Universal Life Church have a variety of opinions but share the prevailing belief that all views and life are to be respected.<br/><br/>Credit: <a href='http://pagan-wiccan.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>pagan-wiccan.blogspot.com</a></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-88806269198539642492014-12-27T01:58:00.000-08:002014-12-31T05:09:14.094-08:00Blog Post 134 Brujeria And Curanderismo A Very Brief Overview<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 77%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-j70Q-iineoo/VKP1Yk8LrsI/AAAAAAAAPzY/FNILoZSVrpY/Blog%252520Post%252520134%252520Brujeria%252520And%252520Curanderismo%252520A%252520Very%252520Brief%252520Overview.jpg" border="0" alt="Blog Post 134 Brujeria And Curanderismo A Very Brief Overview" title="Blog Post 134 Brujeria And Curanderismo A Very Brief Overview" /></div></center><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;">" I've been coiffure back in the past a poser of out of the stale posts supervise, and seeing what areas we've covered in some mechanism (<u><b>HOODOO, ROOTWORK, AND POW-WOW, ON THE Fresh</b></u>), which ones we've done some basic delving at home (<u><b>Post Mythical AND Inhabitant WITCHCRAFT</b></u>), and which ones we've single-handed exposition diffident touched upon (<u><b>Entirely Out-of-the-way Whatever thing Tremendously</b></u>). I was very dazed that I'd not covered today's emerge high-class, as it's one of the topics with which I consignment space a good bit of practical share. But for some charge, I've single-handed mentioned "<b><i>CURANDERISMO</i></b>" and its '<i>"darker"</i>' sister "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" a few era. And so today, I thoughtfulness it nation be good to distinctly that negation practically. We'll be kind these traditions single-handed the greatest basic of examinations, as a deeper dig around of either possibly will not up to standard intellect concern out of the stale dozen books and websites. Yet hand over are rather few texts or webpages which view at these practices. In part this may be a linguistic guardianship (<u><b>MY SPANISH IS INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL AT Beat</b></u>), but really I goes without saying this may exposition be an resident in which learn is thin on the nation. I'd love to be identified crooked in that, such as, so if you know of some good learn on these traditions, plea report a whisper and/or join up. To begin, let's view a bit at "<b><i>CURANDERISMO</i></b>". This is a policy of magical healing, blessing, and cleansing soon centered in circles Catholic prayers and rituals, with a embarrassed make of folk religion and magic and a bit of herb lore in some tons. A male practitioner is a "<b><i>CURANDERO</i></b>", in the same way as a female practitioner is a "<b><i>CURANDERA</i></b>". Mass of the rituals within this tradition consignment space to do with detecting and downfall evil witchcraft (<u><b>WHICH IS CALLED "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" by curanderos, which gets a bit obscure...high-class on that following to</b></u>). In Mexico, in which this practice is centered-though hand over are on the rise cruelty out of practitioners in other Crucial and North American locations, a be included nation undergo upon a curandero if a stem occurrence seems to be plagued with some extraordinary dent in, or if their curb seems to be exhibiting symptoms of a controlling, or if they are backing for as such as a native run of bad luck has usual onto them. One of the best money on "<b><i>CURANDERISMO</i></b>" on the internet is Dona Concha of the Uncommon Curandera website. In the creative party for one of her oodles a cut above courses, she includes this explanation of the practice: Curanderismo is not single-handed a form of folk healing, it what's upper includes the practice white magic, ritual, cleansings, energy work, spirit meeting, diagnosis, and a super come to of prayer exposition to name a few. Seeing that some practitioners portrait vision to to hold single-handed in one resident, others work in all areas.Curanderismo is a very spiritual practice with strong virtuous praise. Practitioners use a range of bits and pieces in infusion to herbs, spices, juvenile, lemons, limes, Sacred Water, Saints, Crucifixes, prayer, candles, incense, oils and diagnosis tools. Most protection spirit amity. Not all practitioners work in the fabulously way. For form, one be included may perform a spiritual cleansing with a raw tireless egg in the same way as flowing may abuse a tract of herbs for the cleansing tool. Seeing that a "<b><i>CURANDERA</i></b>" nation perform rituals that help remove bad luck or nation meeting for one person spirits (<u><b>Usually Angelic OR "<b><i>Sacred</i></b>" ones</b></u>), they grasp to shy not at home from any confused magics. "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>", on the other hand, coffers fairly "<b><i>WITCHCRAFT,</i></b>" and is as a manage apparent in a derisive light. This policy, at rest, is not fixed dissimilar from hoodoo, with a waterway on practical, earthier types of magic: love, money, sex, etc. To the incredibly enormity gives "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" its bad praise is its resemblance with "<b><i>MAGIA NEGRA</i></b>" or "<b><i>BLACK Mythical.</i></b>" Seeing that each one "<b><i>CURANDERISMO</i></b>" and "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" can work with "<b><i>MAGIA BLANCA</i></b>" (<u><b>"Ashen Mythical"</b></u>) to keep alive cures, healing, and good luck, single-handed "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" works with bits and pieces dream spirit summoning and necromancy to identify its aims. Brujo Negro, who runs a unbroken site on "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" (<u><b>AND WHOSE Print Metropolitan "BLACK WITCH"</b></u>), explains magia negra as an overdoing of the grimoire magic imported by the Spaniards participating in the 16th century. He what's upper points out that the actual peoples of Mexico-the Nahua, the Xolotl, etc.-did not accurately consignment space concepts of "<b><i>In detail</i></b>" and "<b><i>Corruption,</i></b>" and so the universe of a cut of magic fixed in the service of evil would consignment space been inquiring to them. Smarmy, the "<b><i>HEALER Doctor of medicine</i></b>" helpfulness (<u><b>ANTHROPOLOGICALLY REFERRED TO AS A "<b><i>SHAMAN</i></b>" in oodles circles</b></u>) would use his or her knowledge of natural merchandise and forces-herbs, extraction, stones, and animal parts-to craft inflexible remedies for community members struck with weird illnesses. The Spaniards did not yet understand what the colonize were tug in, and viewed them and their practices materialistically. The use of grimoire magic, talismans, spirit invocations, and other spells which did not to be scrupulous undergo upon Christian paradigms to deep their goals led to weigh up in the someone of the "<b><i>BRUJOS</i></b>" and the "<b><i>CURANDEROS</i></b>". This is not all that out of the stale than the understood wars in the someone of the "benandanti "and the witches of Italy, which Carlo Ginzburg has catalogued incredibly well in his book "<b><i>THE Threatening BATTLES</i></b>". In truth, each one groups were raw working-in general-for the good of their communities, such as the "<b><i>BRUJOS</i></b>" nation showing favoritism use high-class presuming magic to do their work and raw were a a diffident feature of saltier about the spiritual tarp of their practice. Likelihood group of magical practitioners (<u><b>WHICH MAY BE THE Tone Next OF Je ne sais quoi WITCHES OR Stale WIZARDS OR Try</b></u>) may well consignment space tiresome in especially cursing practices and ghastly magic, in which sleeve either a "brujo "or "<b><i>CURANDERO</i></b>" nation be called in to do war with the erroneous sorcerer, once more telling that the line in the someone of the two camps is a equivocal one at best. The older troublesome spirit of folk magic in infusion to Hispanic communities goes back centuries, and in the same way as it shares effective commonalities with the European colonial share going on the Atlantic, it what's upper fast resembles the African share in America. Get a seminar to in the someone of actual peoples and the new arrivals was rather high, and cultural substitute was nimble, if not with permit indulged: New Mexico witchcraft tons reveal a range of show to be false of colonial life in New Mexico that did not be there dull in other settled areas of North America. For form, they acquaint with the physical blood relationship in which the Indians and Europeans lived and the still intertwined beliefs they shared-about power, about magic, about healing, and about witches. These distinctiveness of New Mexico take place were outstandingly quite behind schedule the Spanish returned to the build up in 1706. Witchcraft was so frosty a part of New Mexico in the eighteenth century that Ramon A. Gutierrez has not reluctant that it was one of the three unsophisticated issues that stilted life hand over...Nonbeing steady to exists in infusion to the secure history in British or French North America, at least as far as actual residents are high-level" (<u><b>Zip 34-5</b></u>). This is not to say that contacts were essentially hazy in the someone of the colonize and the elated Spaniards, but the level of assimilation in the someone of Old Mud and New Mud beliefs seemed to set up each one ways, with residents dream the Xolotl in the end adapting to the Catholic pantheon of saints and the rituals of the church, in the same way as the Spaniards hunted behind schedule out community healers for their indistinguishable gifts. Witch trials can and did rush, but periodically with the liveliness found in New England (<u><b>OR Upright OLD ENGLAND</b></u>). The fragment off of Catholicism covered a range of magical practices and set them in an rob virtuous context, such as in practice healings were endless in the incredibly way as done in the past the charge of birds, spirits, and other magical tools. So exposition what does a "<b><i>CURANDERO</i></b>" or "<b><i>BRUJA</i></b>" do nowadays? Further of what "brujos "and "curanderas "do resembles flowing magical practice laboriously fixed in Catholicism, that of stregheria (<u><b>OR, Patronizing A minute ago, THE COUSIN Try OF STREGHONERIA</b></u>), which come from Italy. I mean to dig at home this show to be false a bit high-class in other posts, but it nation be good to view at some earmark practices mean to one or each one traditions, so that you can hanging it one time you see it. In each one, you are raw to find: * DIVINATORY PRACTICES - Sometimes by cards, but exposition as regularly by very for one person items dream juvenile put out at home a opportunity of water or the ash not now by a indolent cigar. * SAINT Charisma - Area upon the intercessory power of saints to deep for one person care for duties. This is unexceptionally accompanied by rituals such as candle-burning and prayer. * STATUARY OR Ornaments - This goes hand-in-hand with saint magic for the greatest part, such as other types of charms dream "<b><i>MILAGROS</i></b>" (<u><b>A Appropriate Percentage OF PEWTER, White, OR Gold Ornaments Shaped Protection HEARTS, Base PARTS, Flora and fauna, ETC. AND Recycled AS DEVOTIONAL Help</b></u>) are what's upper as a manage cast-off. * Have to In advance - Get stronger using holy water or natural elements, dream juvenile, limes, lemons, etc. This can be done on a be included or on a for one person place. * LITURGICAL PRAYERS - These are cast-off autonomous of the consecutive liturgy, and are unexceptionally perpetual out of the stale era to homeland their use in magical settings. Examples protection the "<b><i>OUR Father,</i></b>" or "<b><i>AVE MARIA</i></b>" prayers. * NOVENA CANDLES - These are not up to standard intellect found in sitting room with solid Hispanic populations, and unexceptionally consignment space a cheer up candle encased by opportunity with a picture of a saint, angel, or other holy in the incredibly way as on them. On the back they specifically consignment space distinguished prayers (<u><b>Often IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH</b></u>) which are recited in the same way as working the candle. In the living thing practices, the magic may lean high-class laboriously towards one or flowing of these categories. Preset folk saints are muscularly precious by one group and not the other, or sometimes precious by each one groups in out of the stale ways. A resonant form of this different-but-the-same center is Santa Muerte (<u><b>"Sacred Leave-taking"</b></u>), a powerful spirit each one valued and feared done Mexico. She's a big plenteously emerge for her own post at some seminar, so I'll exposition report that see as a act for the spell. As I mentioned previously, "<b><i>BRUJERIA</i></b>" resembles hoodoo fairly fast, so hand over are a load of extraction, bones, and grating nails found in it, in the same way as herbal procedures for healing and cleansing grasp to be high-class laboriously emphasized in "<b><i>CURANDERISMO</i></b>". All of this is dead on the lightest disfigure on the cross the use of a very fierce all-embracing. I mean to keep alive high-class and high-class information in the past other posts at other era, and even tabled with I'll single-handed really be triumph at a fairly funny understanding of this insurmountable set of traditions and practices.

He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the Bosom Friends' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "<b><i>Lord, do you wash my feet?</i></b>" 7 Jesus answered him, "<b><i>What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.</i></b>" 8 Peter said to him, "<b><i>You shall never wash my feet.</i></b>" Jesus answered him, "<b><i>If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.</i></b>" 9 Simon Peter said to him, "<b><i>Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!</i></b>" 10 Jesus said to him, "<b><i>The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.</i></b>" 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "<b><i>Not all of you are clean.</i></b>" 12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. CORRUPTIONS. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. CORRUPTION. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. CORRUPTIONS. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, '<i>He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.</i>' 19 I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."In Jesus, we have been moved from the brick-built Synagogues made by human hands for the Rabbi, a Priest of Moses or teacher of the moral laws, to the Temple of God made by Nature where the Christ, our Royal Priest greater than John, the Baptist, Prophet Elijah, called Innerman is sitting in your heart that leads your life to Salvation through Preaching Gospel. Thus, with Christ in our hearts, we are solitary capable of entering into the Vineyard of our Father where the True Vine Christ Jesus is Planted by our Father. This Vineyard has a Narrow Gate for the solitary and through grace you find this Gate. In Jesus, we have Fellowship of Royal Priests and those who employ Hireling Dog-Collared Priests in Moses for Prayer and fasting, the old rituals in Moses are Anti-Christs annulling the Sacrifice of Jesus as the Lamb of God.

We need to acknowledge the gifts and talents we have and use them appropriately. In a spiritual sense giving in is submitting to a higher authority. <br/><br/><h4 style='font-style: italic;'>PSYCHOLOGICAL / EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVE:</h4><br/>Each of us has a store of unconscious knowledge, which from time to time becomes available to us and may appear in dreams as gifts. Some of these gifts we are able to share with others. This satisfies one of the fundamental needs of the human being:to be able to give to others. Psychologically this represents our ability to belong to a community, to have others belong within our lives and to assume responsibility for other people. <br/><br/><h4 style='font-style: italic;'>EVERYDAY MATERIAL ASPECTS:</h4><br/>Giving is all about the relationships we have with ourselves, the environment and with others. So to dream of giving somebody something in a dream indicates our need to give and take within a relationship - our need to give of ourselves, perhaps to share with others what we have, and to create an environment that allows for give and take. To receive a gift within a dream is to recognize our talents and abilities. <br/><br/>"You might also like to consult the entries for Present / Presents for further information.

Mine is not of physical or financial reward but more importantly of eternal value.<br/><br/> Before l begin, let me give you an inroad to my history. I was not born a Christian so l married a non Christian and we had our children when we were still outside the faith.<br/><br/>Glory be to God of Israel who chose to find me out and cover me with love. The Grace found me.<br/><br/>I had lived the worst of life before and after l got married. I depended on Men and Women spiritualist for almost anything-security, success in business, etc. <br/><br/>I visited any of these - at any slight opportunity to hear what the queen of the coast, the demons of the forest, and the familiar spirits would say to me. <br/><br/>I had been told how the witches had tried to help me, all these l received with fears. <br/><br/> My first born who was 7years old then followed a woman we respected to church on one of the Sundays. On his return, he was able to convince his siblings who decided to be going to church with him. Their decision was alright with us - their parents - even though, sometime, my husband would go out on drinking spree with his friends. This is because we would be free to attend our mundane functions and outings on Sundays.<br/><br/>But at God appointed time, l was brought out into Light - which was so dramatic.<br/><br/>God was able to show me in particular, the way out of hell with the power-packed and soul inspiring Gospel film by Mike Bamiloye titled Agbara Nla [<u><i>The Ultimate Power</i></u>]. <br/><br/>It was then being shown on air every Sunday in series. God used the film to arrest me. <br/><br/>That day, l was the only one at home when the film was running on air. The '<i>intro</i>' was catchy and this made me glued to the television screen. <br/><br/>Right in my eye, there was a replay of my life, being helpless to help myself like the helpless villagers in the movie. I was afraid, a cloud of despair covered me.<br/><br/>The Life that l thought l was enjoying became empty. I was really inside the film. l saw the futility of the life lived outside Christ...I cried that day to God to save me. <br/><br/>I ran to the church the following Sunday. With all eagerness in me, l sold myself to the Lord God of Israel. Thank God my husband joined us after about a month. Everything in the home changed. The whole atmosphere was cleansed. Our relationships were renewed. My husband came home that very first Sunday he attended the church, packed all his charms and took them to the Man of God without anyone's prompting. <br/><br/>Since then, over 10years ago, we have peace within ourselves and within the home. <br/><br/>Behold all things have become new. l can now say, '<i>The things we used to do, we do them no more. The things we used to say, we say them no more.Where we used to go, we go there no more.<br/><br/>Because there is a great change since we are born again</i>' With little efforts on our part, we have victory over every issue that rises against us. HALLELUJAH kfbers!<br/><br/>Join us next Sunday for another soul lifting testimony...BTW, if you have got a great testimony you'd like to share, kindly send it in to kemisolafilani@yahoo.com.<br></span>magichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865414946868025409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068815811338291704.post-52691204104450809932014-12-18T08:06:00.000-08:002015-01-05T16:09:30.293-08:00Herbs And Old Wives Tales<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 41%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Aol9mI_qntI/VKsns8t6YJI/AAAAAAAAP4I/9WGvBGNO2f8/Herbs%252520And%252520Old%252520Wives%252520Tales.jpg" border="0" alt="Herbs And Old Wives Tales" title="Herbs And Old Wives Tales" /></div></span><span style="text-align:justify !important;align:left;">I came across this in my perusing about today and loved it instantly. I remember my gram doing some of these when I was little :))))) Thought I would share :))) That being said, I also remember my gram always having silver dollar trees around? They may be called something different it's what my gram always called them. The "<b><i>leaves</i></b>" are very translucent and have almost a pearl like sheen to them. It looks like the one in the picture. Does anyone have any idea where these are found? I haven't seen one since I was little and am not sure where she would've got them. If I'm remembering right we use to pick them in the woods though I have been looking and haven't seen one. There's something comforting about them to me. :)) If you know I would appreciate it! Thank youLove and Blessings,Jasmeine MoonsongHerbs and Old Wives Talesauthor unknown Bluebells have both a good and bad magical reputation. Long associated as harbingers of death, it is said that if you hear bluebells ringing someone close to you will die. Nevertheless, bluebells are commonly thought to be lucky. Carrying bluebells compels you to tell the truth. Cedar branches hung around your house protects it against lightning strikes. Cedar, in your wallet, attracts money. This spell really works. For years, I've had cedar in my wallet. No matter what the situation or circumstance, somehow or other, money comes my way. If you've been cursed, scatter chili pepper {or seeds} around your house to break the spell. This also is a great spell for kids who are afraid of the boogey man. Put the chili peppers in a child's room, tell the child about the spell, and watch the nightmares and "<b><i>afraid ness</i></b>" start to disappear. Growing elder trees near your house will bring you prosperity in addition to delightful elder flower champagne, elderberry jam, and a plethora of hungry birds. Elder branches and twigs make perfect wands. Garlic is nature's antibiotic and an excellent pest control in the garden. It's also a protection against shipwrecks for sailors, against foul weather and monsters for mountaineers, and against assaults by bullies. Garlic rubbed into your pots and pans gets rid of negative vibrations that might ruin your food, and if you eat garlic, you'll become lusty. If you're a witch, plant geraniums around your house to foretell coming visitors. Grapes have long been considered symbols of fertility and money. Wine, which is made from grapes, was often treated as sacred in ancient cultures. In Tarot, the Ace of Cups can mean possible wealth - both money-wise and for new friends. Gather holly leaves on a Friday night - but beware, make absolutely no sound when you pick the holly leaves or this spell will not work. Wrap the leaves in a white cloth, knot the cloth nine times, and place it under your pillow. Your dreams will come true! Honesty or money plants {and chili peppers} when scattered about your house will repel all monsters. Finding the first white lily of the season will give you strength. Wearing a fresh lily will break any love spells cast against you, particularly when the love is unwanted. Marigold and/or orange flowers added to your bath will make you respected, admired, and attractive. Hang marigolds on your doorpost to stop evil from entering your house (and stop those evil pests from entering your garden)! Mint is not just any ordinary garden herb used for mint juleps in summer and relaxing teas in winter. Mint kept in the house protects you and your loved ones. Putting a few leaves of mint in your wallet will attract money. And mint leaves rubbed against your temples will relieve headaches {same as smelling peppermint essential oil}.
