Satdesh

Satdesh
"SAT DESH, THE HIGHEST REGION [of Heaven]

"Beginning from above and going downward, we come
first to Sat Desh (sat, 'true', and desh, 'country').
Many other names have been applied to it, such as Nij-
Dham, Sat Lok, Muqam Haq and Sach Khand. These names
are usually applied to the lowest section of Sat Desh,
but occasionally to the entire grand division. This is
the region, or plane, of pure spirit. All enjoying the
greatest conceivable happiness, its inhabitants are pure
spirits in such countless numbers as no man can
estimate. It is the supreme heaven of all heavens, but
it is quite unknown to many of the world religions
because their founders had never reached that exalted
region. It is known to saints only, who alone can enter
it. It cannot be described. In substance and
arrangement it is wholly unlike anything known in this
world. Neither can the human mind imagine it. This
section is so vast in extent that no sort of
understanding of it can be conveyed to human
intelligence. No mind can grasp it.

"All that the saints can say of Sat Desh is that it
is limitless. It is the only region which the great
saints insist is practically limitless. We can say,
although no mind can grasp the thought, that it embraces
all else, and is both the beginning and the end of all
else. It is the great center about which all other
worlds revolve. Anything which we might say about it
would be incomplete and only partially true, so declare
the saints. If the entire physical universe with its
countless millions of suns and their planets were all
gathered together in a single cluster, each sun being a
million lightyears distant from any other sun, yet this
entire ensemble would appear no more than a few dark
specks floating in the clear and luminous sky of Sat
Desh. In that happy country, a sun such as ours, but a
thousand times larger, would appear as a tiny dark spot,
so very great is the light of that world.

"This region is the grand capital of all creation,
the center of all universes, and the residence of the
supreme Creator--Lord of all.

"From this center of all light, life and power, the
great creative current flows outward and downward to
create, govern and sustain all regions. It passes out
from this region somewhat like the radio emanations
going forth from a great broadcasting station. It is
the audible life stream, the most important factor in
the system of the Masters. This stream permeates the
entire system of universes. A thing of great importance
to us is that the music of this ever-flowing current,
the stream of life, can be heard by a real Master and
also by his students who have advanced even a little on
the Path. And let us reiterate that unless a Master
teaches his students how this current is to be heard, he
is not a Master of the highest order.

"This grand headquarters of all creation is the
region of immortality. It is unchangeable, perfect,
deathless. It is forever untouched by dissolution or
grand dissolution. So are its inhabitants. This region
will be referred to many times in this book. It is
subdivided into four distinct planes, each having its
own characteristics and its own lord, or governor. But
the difference between these subdivisions is very
slight. From above downward they are named: Radha Soami
Dham, meaning 'home of the spiritual lord'; it is also
called Anami Lok, meaning 'nameless region'. The next
plane below the highest is Agam Lok (agam,
'inaccessible', and lok, 'place'
). The third plane is
Alakh Lok (alakh, 'invisible', and lok, 'place'). The
last of these higher planes is Sach Khand (sach,
'truth', and khand, 'home'
). The last one is also
called Sat Lok, 'the true place'. By the Muslim saints
it has been called Mukam Haq, meaning the same as above,
'the home of truth'.

"The light of all four of these regions is so very
intense that it is impossible for any mortal to get an
understanding of it. It cannot be described. The great
Soami Ji sums up his statements regarding this region by
saying simply that it is all love."

Thorns And Champions

Thorns And Champions
"The news of a Jesuit being elected Pope sent shock waves through my system, as I'm sure it did to many others. The Jesuits have garnered an ambiguous reputation this past century, especially in conservative Catholic circles, much due to a loosening grasp on their origins. At least in America today, Jesuits are equated with higher education. THEY ARE THE THORN IN THE SIDE OF CONSERVATIVE CATHOLICS AND THE CHAMPIONS OF THE LIBERAL, POLITICAL ACTIVIST CATHOLICS. BUT WHAT WILL POPE FRANCIS, A HUMBLE, MORALLY CONSERVATIVE JESUIT, MEAN FOR THIS ORDER? AS A FORMER STUDENT OF A JESUIT UNIVERSITY AND A CURRENT TEACHER AT A SCHOOL ORIGINALLY FOUNDED BY JESUITS, I OFFER ONE THEORY.TO PUT IT SIMPLY, I SEE POPE FRANCIS RETURNING THE JESUITS TO THEIR ORIGINAL FOUNDATION: DEDICATED DEFENDERS OF THE CHURCH IN A WORLD THAT OPPOSES HER AT EVERY TURN. ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA LIVED DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PROTESTANT REVOLT WHEN THE CHURCH WAS BEING ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES. AFTER BEING SEVERELY INJURED IN BATTLE, IGNATIUS DEDICATED HIMSELF AS A SOLDIER FOR CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH. HE CAME FROM SUCH A MILITARISTIC BACKGROUND THAT HE CONSIDERED HIS NEW ORDER, THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, TO BE THE "SHOCK TROOPS IN SERVICE OF THE POPE-TO DEFEND HIM, HIS AUTHORITY (WHICH WAS BEING CALLED INTO QUESTION), AND THE CHURCH IN THE BATTLE AGAINST PROTESTANTISM.WHILE I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO THE PRIESTHOOD OF ANY JESUIT, THEY HAVE BECOME IN RECENT YEARS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH PROGRESSIVE AND LIBERAL IDEOLOGIES, WHICH MAKE MANY ORTHODOX CATHOLICS CRINGE AT THE MERE MENTION OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS. POPE FRANCIS HIMSELF HAS RECOGNIZED THAT MANY JESUITS HAVE FALLEN AWAY FROM THEIR ORIGINAL CALLING. WHILE HE WAS BISHOP OF BUENOS AIRES, HE CRITICIZED HIS FELLOW JESUITS FOR SUPPORTING LIBERATION THEOLOGY (COMMUNISM UNDER THE GUISE OF CHRISTIANITY) AND HAS CALLED THEM TO RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS OF SERVICE TO THE CHURCH AND DEFENSE OF HER TEACHINGS.

* HE WILL CALL HIS BROTHER JESUITS BACK HOME AND REMIND THEM OF THEIR VOW OF OBEDIENCE TO HIM. THE JESUIT VOW OF OBEDIENCE TO THE POPE WAS WHAT SET THEM APART AT THEIR FOUNDING. THEY WERE FULLY DEVOTED TO DEFENDING THE POPE AND PROMULGATING HIS TEACHINGS AND THOSE OF THE CHURCH AROUND THE WORLD. POPE FRANCIS WILL PROMPT A RESURGENCE OF LOYALTY TO THE PAPACY AND THE CHURCH, ESPECIALLY IN A WORLD WHERE HE IS UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE AND HIS EVERY MOVE IS QUESTIONED, ANALYZED IN HIGH DEFINITION, AND CRITIQUED.
* SECOND, HE WILL REMIND THEM THAT THEIR DUTY IS FIRST AND FOREMOST TO CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH. IN HIS FIRST FEW WEEKS AS POPE, FRANCIS HAS SHOWN NO INDICATION OF BACKING DOWN ON CHURCH TEACHINGS. HE LIVES A VERY RADICAL LIFE OF LOVE AND JUSTICE, ONE THAT HAS CAPTURED THE ATTENTION OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, BUT NEVER HAS HE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST FUNDAMENTAL CHURCH TEACHINGS THAT LIBERALS ABHOR. THIS EXAMPLE OF BEING A POPE OF SERVICE AND LOVE WHILE HOLDING FAST TO CHURCH TEACHINGS WILL SHOW HIS FELLOW JESUITS THAT LIVING A LIFE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND LOVE OF GOD'S PEOPLE DOES NOT MEAN COMPROMISING THE FAITH AND MORAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE CHURCH.
* I BELIEVE THAT POPE FRANCIS WILL MUSTER A NEW WAVE OF YOUNG JESUITS IN ORDER TO DO BATTLE WITH THE SECULARISM THAT RUNS RAMPANT IN OUR WORLD TODAY. HIS AFOREMENTIONED DEDICATION OF SERVICE TO GOD'S PEOPLE AND TO CHURCH TEACHING, NOT TO MENTION HIS LOVE OF SCIENCE, WILL INSPIRE YOUNG MEN AROUND THE WORLD TO JOIN THE RANKS OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS SO THAT THEY CAN GO OUT AND TEACH THE WORLD THROUGH WORD AND DEED ABOUT GOD AND HIS CHURCH.

LET US PRAY FOR OUR POPE FRANCIS!LINK (HERE) TO TRUTH AND CHARITY

The Persecuted On This Rock Pastor Plants Churches With Terrorist

The Persecuted On This Rock Pastor Plants Churches With Terrorist
THE Upset ON THIS Mainstay Minister Plants CHURCHES In the middle of TERRORIST Criminals sit rotund in a dull Indian holding gulf. The breath of urine permeates the slimy air. Two bedraggled men in the shot stand out - not to the same extent of their untidy clothes or clean-cut aspect but to the same extent of their frolics. Pabitra Kata hums a sad music in the same way as Niladri Kanhar prays. Upset AssociationsPabitra Kata and Niladri Kanhar quantity the Gospel in any case the urge of annoyance in Orissa, India. Slant mouse done with photo and clap sad the slideshow. Their superficial crime: "proselytizing," stony to alter others to their religion. Motherland the system indictment the two of coercing a Hindu man dressed in becoming a Christian. Neither denies that he was allocation a Bible story, but the word "pressure" makes them quiver their heads in shock. Claiming Christianity fashionable in India's Orissa Assertion important annoyance and fearful beatings. All men wear the scars to reveal it. Kanhar has an eight-inch blot laterally his modest side; Kata sports a receding, angry line pompous his modest ear everywhere his manager is caved in from a damage. Kata glances at his friend, plentiful in prayer, and remembers his own eager prayer that started their travel six being ago. * * * * * "Lord, present me only one household to build Your church on," Kata begged God in 2005. "We implore a household that can stand strong subsequent to a kernel - subsequent to Your follower Peter." The Transcendent Sort answered by leading the pastor up a pike path and sad the forest. After he unmoving at the edge of a established terrorist village, Kata couldn't stand it. This paramilitary group repeatedly killed or terrorized Christians in a compatriot design to fix India inflexibly Hindu. To make matters bring down, one of the furthermost feared leaders lived in this village. He wiped out churches, outdo or raped Christians and even killed them. "Surefire," Kata assumption, "God isn't this crazy!" Clearly, he ready a aberrant turn in the forest, Kata assumption. The pastor walked back home, petitioning the count up way for only one household. Profit Band Participating in the village, Kanhar sat in his house, a disciplined and angry man. All five of his children were badly. Nevertheless his powerful advantage as the pub terrorist boss, expound was zero he possibly will do to make clothing untouchable for his household. He facing had tried everything - health check doctors, aid at the Hindu temple and witchcraft. Aforementioned TerroristAt one time, Niladri Kanhar was a feared terrorist boss. He gave all his money and cargo to one of the gods but zero several. After Kanhar consulted this god one buttress time, it told him someone in his house would die. "I did everything you asked. We wear become beggars and dormant we are examination," Kanhar screamed. "If you are not profit to verge us, go dated and send us someone who can!" A Dream AND A Elegance The pastor sat proper up in bed. The heavy dream startled him active. It was as if someone called out to him. He replayed the fragmented images in his head: a pike path, a village and a sinking tree. The tree acerbic to the terrorist leader's mud-packed home that emanated sorrow and be sorrowful. Kata moral and told his next of kin that a household desired prayer. Plus he scurried up the pike path to the furthermost feared home in the state. He trendy too in arrears. Kanhar's eldest infant had died all over the night. The terrorist leader's next of kin met the pastor at the jaws, explaining her consort took the total to the hospital for a death passport. She advised Kata to take industrial action past her consort returned. Kanhar abhorrent Christians, and she didn't intention to see being also die today. She had lots torture central point her for a lifetime. The pastor pleaded with the be sorrowful mother not to present up protection. They only desired to pray. She supposed she didn't know how, so he urged her to cite "in Jesus' name" all-around the night. He promised to return at 10 a.m. the flash day to move the girl in character. MIRACLES AND Be sure about The flash genesis, Kanhar and his infant walked hand-in-hand up the path to their home. The pastor wasn't flabbergasted, but no one also possibly will stand their eyes. The doctors absolute her dead and now she ran to hug her mother. From this day, our homespun will have a thing about only Him.NILADRI KANHAR, primary terrorist boss Kanhar eyed the absurd man standing at their jaws. Kata smiled, stretched tight his hand and supposed, "I'm your new friend, Pabitra Kata." Faith registered on Kanhar's show. His give instructions were to butcher this pastor in the hound to slight out Christianity. His eyes wandered surrounding the works, penetrating for anything he possibly will use as a prick. "We abhor Jesus fashionable," the terrorist stated, moving near the pastor. Kanhar's next of kin stepped in the company of them, explaining the pastor's prayers brought their infant back to life. She valiantly told her consort that now she, too, whispered in Jesus and prayed in His name. The terrorist weakly listened to his wife's story and unconvincingly frozen to stand. When all, what resolution did they have? The pastor's God had healed their infant equally zero also worked. By 5 p.m., then again, Kanhar if truth be told had conclusive his gathering place to God. Quite good as the pastor predicted, his four other bed-ridden children got up to charlatan - they were healed, too. "My household is highly. This is a be astonished of God," the terrorist announced. "From this day, our homespun will have a thing about only Him." Line THE Cathedral All and sundry night, Kata snuck sad the forest to the terrorist village. He ducked past guards looking for him and slipped in Kanhar's back jaws. The household of seven sat waiting to learn new Bible stories and to pray. Bible Comply withShoes are rambling creatively the front insolence to a home. So repeated pursuit act this house church that they dismayed out the jaws. Kanhar wet through up every lesson subsequent to a solicit. He had never felt so meaningfully ease in his life. Unaffected then again his neighbors were angry with him for bringing the express grief of Christianity to the village, he easily linkage his newfound faith. At a snail's pace, further pursuit attended the nightly meetings. The paramilitary group tried to guard this intensify by fining being who talked to Kanhar 10,000 rupees (200) - further money than furthermost ready in a rendezvous. One night as Kata consumed the prayer hall, a group of men grabbed and step him. They dragged him laterally the tiled command, lately stopping in a clearing everywhere 30 others, with clubs and brushwood in hand, waited to close down the hurt. The men responsible the pastor for "bend" their primary boss. They outdo and kicked the wrinkled man so effectively that his manager bounced off their clubs subsequent to a cricket disk and ricocheted off the pavement. They deprived ribs and bashed in one tier of his manager. The pastor's screams pierced the mysterious night, yet no one came to his exchange. "God, subsequent to your servant Stephen, I am park," Kata prayed sad the torture. After illusion did not open, the pastor several his prayer. "Help me stand remorseless. Use me to build Your church here!" Believe Program Legalize picked Kata's ill-treated total up off the command and took him to the sordid. They threatened to charge him with "converting Hindus." But in the end, they told him not to return to Kanhar's village or flash time, he would emphatically die. Nevertheless the advisory, Kata continued hall with the primary terrorist boss for Bible study. At one of their prayer time, the pastor looked at his follower sad still-swollen eyes and predicted, "You will wear to standpoint bring down than me for your faith." EleganceTabloid prayer is how Niladri Kanhar gets sad each day. The primary terrorist boss supposed his faith began by someone praying for him, so he now prays for stringency to valiantly quantity. Kanhar couldn't stand what he heard. He was facing sneaking in and out for the manuscript discipleship. When different count up household proclaimed Christianity, the village had uncontrolled his household to take industrial action and filed charges wary him for "conversions." He couldn't find work to reassure his household. His brothers disowned him. Unaffected his children were uncontrolled to take industrial action school. How possibly will it get worse? It didn't get longing for the pastor's words to come true. One day as Kanhar worked in the field, a group of men delight machetes chased him down. They step their primary boss and uncontrolled him to bend the knee. He looked up to see 50 men throwing noble stones at him. Kanhar prayed. The angry mob took aim but none of the stones touched the Christian. Kanhar lifted a prayer of enhance that irate the men. They curt at him, vacillation clubs and machetes. Blood collective sketchily surrounding him. "Stop!" a man yelled. "He deserves a droopy death for what he has brought to our village." In the middle of that, they on bad terms dressed in two teams - spoils turns kicking and clubbing. At one stopper, the men urinated on Kanhar, causing his open wounds to sting and singe. They deprived his leg and placed a disgusting undercover agent on his eyes to open out the torture. "If you don't come back to Hinduism, you will die," a man told him. "Unaffected if you butcher me or my children, I will opinion a Christian until my buttress haze," Kanhar countered. "I will stand remorseless in the Essentials of Jesus Christ." * * * * * Holding to that message has not been easy. For the two friends, annoyance is merely the allege of allocation the Gospel with their community. Beatings, the loss of jobs and threatened imprison time are to be expected. The "good days" come equally someone professes Jesus as Savior. Family days make walking sad the occupied ones conceivable. Kata sees the bailiff nearby and stands up. It's time for their case. The officiate glances sad the papers and along with dangerously warns them about proselytizing. He surprises a person, up till now, by plummeting all charges wary the two Christians. The friends thank God and clamber out the jaws. There's no time for celebration; they are in arrears for evangelism training at the church.

Before You Say I Do

Before You Say I Do
Hi guys decided to share a few of my thoughts on this issue this is owing to the fact that so many people get it wrong and eventually end up sad. Lemme give a short analogy to explain the entire point I want to make. Imagine two daughters have the same father daughter A holds her fathers hand and asks him to help her when its time to cross the gutter, he does exactly that and she crosses it safely, daughter B decides to cross on her own, as she crosses it she falls down she cries out to her father and he will certainly come to her aid. But will coming to her aid change the consequences of the fall? NO Well it's the same with marriage no matter what you need Gods direction to enable you sail through. Marriage is so important that the devil is never happy for you to get it right. The ultimate key is seeking Gods face, find out his plan for you first, single ladies pls single hood is not the time to be desperate but the time to develop capacity, for marriage. Ladies you are so precious that even the sons of God saw the daughters of men and marveled at what God created, don't turn yourself into a pity bag. Take that time to invest in yourself, the truth is if you don't know if you are a square, triangle, round or circle type of lady you won't know what type of man can fit into you perfectly. If you are a triangle woman how do you think a square man can fit into you. Many times we don't even know who we are because we have spent so much time becoming like our friends or what society wants us to be, then we start searching for the man we want, pls know that the man you want is not necessarily the man you need. God can speak to you through dreams, visions, his word, people around you, but because God spoke to sister A through a dream doesn't mean he will speak to you the same way. Once God speaks to you he will definitely confirm his word and his word must fulfill the purpose for which it was sent. But because the word has come doesn't mean you will rush off to wed, pls wait again till you get the confirmation because it is at that time the devil also sends his candidate to confuse us. Every tree in due season will bear fruits. The place of spiritual direction and mentorship, pls have someone that can guide you with prayers etc, Esther got to the position of a Queen because she followed all what mordecia told her to do, Ruth got to boaz because she followed what Naomi told her to do. In all this pls enjoy your time being single and let no one make you think it is a bad situation, it is just a phase that will pass. For those already in a serious relationship that may be leading towards marriage, please take time to evaluate the man, is he a gardener or a hunter? A gardener is a husband that will take time to groom you, nurture you, and multiply you, he works on all the good and bad things he saw in you till bloom into a radiating rose. A hunter finds a woman of virtue, he marries her, makes sure he sucks all the good in you, eventually kills your dream. A hunter will never tell you his plans, neither is he interested in your plan, his motive is ever selfish and his words and actions are centered on himself.Please run away from such a man. For as many that are already married its never too late for the father to bring you out of the gutter, remember all things work together for good to those that love God. Seek the father's face and let him take charge of your husband. God bless us all and make us virtuous women in line with proverbs 31.Deborah Bala.Deborah blogs at THE WORDThis article is (c) Copyright - All rights reservedwww.wivestownhallconnection.com

Temporarily Illiterate

Temporarily Illiterate
I have been feeling the urge to study of late. Specifically, I want to look into the adept level GD tarot spread that takes just this side of forever to perform. I've never had any interest in that before. Also, Jack mentioned something about the Thoth tarot that I want to look into that I feel will take my readings to the next level.

The problem is that when I pick up a book I can read about a sentence. After that, I simply do not care. If I try to push, it is like reading French written by an Italian that knew neither English nor French.

I suppose this may be a sign that I am picking up again. That same sign is also saying I am not ready yet. I am not frustrated by this. I am only a bit annoyed when I give in and try to pick up a book and hit that language barrier.

The only thing that interests me at the moment is working with the Conclave of the Greek Key. To me, this group is what I always thought a coven was supposed to be. We all have great trust in each other. I also trust the gods we are dealing with. Now, I know that gods often have an agenda of their own that doesn't fit with our own. For reasons I cannot explain, I trust these gods anyway. Completely.

I cannot imagine not getting back to ceremonial magick and all that it entails. Sooner or later, that will happen. I want to do magick again. I am just not sure how and I know (cue Bush 1) it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.

I do feel there is a greater depth to me now. There will be a greater depth to my magick once I am out of this place.

Sikh Art In The Wake Of The Milwaukee Massacre

Sikh Art In The Wake Of The Milwaukee Massacre

Sadly, I add this latest post following the August 5 massacre of 6 people who were praying at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The article appears in the August 6, 2012 edition of the Examiner.com

SIKH ART AND RELIGION IN THE WAKE OF THE AUGUST FIFTH MASSACRE IN WISCONSIN

Guru Nanak Odyssey by Sikh Artist, Kanwar Singh Dhillon

The Renaissance gave us Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci and divine images of Christ and the saints. The works of the masters are beautiful, and they also reveal the essence of Christianity, the abiding love inherent in the faith, as well as the struggles of Christ's followers. Art speaks the truth, expresses a culture's values and aspirations. In the wake of the August fifth massacre in which a gunman opened fire and killed six people who were praying at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, a brief survey of the art of Punjab sheds light on a people about whom some Americans seem confused.

Many know them only by the large turbans they wear. Sikhs, whose religion originates in the culture of Punjab in northwest India, are sometimes mistaken by supporters of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. However, Sikhs are a peaceful and open-minded people who believe in the equality of all, including the equality of women. According to SikhiWiki, a Sikh encyclopedia, the Sikhs also believe in allowing everyone to choose their own spiritual path.
Images by Sikh artist Kanwar Singh Dhillon reflect the Sikhs' desire to find union with God. A portrait of a guru, walking with staff in hand across India, is reminiscent of Moses walking the desert in search of the Promised Land. While the pursuit of truth is essential to the Sikh, the Sikh faith does not promise that followers will automatically enter heaven or paradise. Rather God welcomes those who carry out righteous actions, live prayerful lives and do good deeds.

Jillian Maas Backman, an author who lives about an hour from Oak Creek, the site of the massacre, knew several of the victims personally and was devastated by the news of the shooting. Backman, who wrote "Beyond the Pews: Breaking with Tradition and Letting Go of Religious Lockdown" suggests that the violence visited upon the Sikh Temple is the result of "dogmatic religious thinking gone bad." The author, who espouses interreligious dialogue, stated "Our individual faith experiences need not be threatened by alternative worldviews, but rather our experience of God deepens when we become more inclusive in our thinking." If Backman is right, perhaps the artists can help lead us to peace.

A Chief priest AND FREEMASONRY
WHAT'S A Chief priest TO DO?

Harmon R. Taylor

International Senior H R T Ministries, Box 12, Newtonville NY 12128

I paddock this rank as a pastor and as a former Mason. I served as to start with of Tolerable Area in Amsterdam, New York in 1980, and as Imposing Chaplain of the Imposing Area of Pretext and Inborn Masons of the Put across of New York from
1983. Thus a Christian brother's make out caused me to escape and to study the pedigree of Freemasonry. The chief I store studied the same as November 25, 1984 in the same way as I renounced Freemasonry, the chief shown up I store become that I was ever a join, greatly less spiritual boss of 150,00 Masons in New York Put across.

Pastors aspiration to consider the union of their church, their ministry and their mass next of kin to Freemasonry. Masons are in the pulpits, in other positions of law in the church and in the pews. In every group they are either nauseatingly deceived as I was for eleven being, or they are not faithfully Christians.

Charles G. Finney, the background of the 19th Century evangelists, gone Freemasonry in the same way as he affirmed Christ as Knight in shining armor and Noble of his life. He wrote a book on the prone of Freemasonry. It has been reissued by Cover Reproduce, Burlington, Ontario, Canada under the heading, The Antichrist of the Masonic Company. On page 139 he states correctly: "God grip the church and every branch of it, to blame for its opinions and activities in pact with the best light, which, in His accident, is afforded them.

"Where Masonry was a secret, the church had no light, and no cloak
respecting it... As a result God did not need the church to purchase any attestation on the prone as fancy as Masonry was secret. "Freemasonry is now revealed. It is no longer a secret from any who wish to be informed.

"The same as these revelations (the rituals) store been ended, and both the church and the world can know what Masonry really is, God burden, and the world has a amend to presume, that the church fortitude goad due action and purchase a sincere attestation in esteem to this residential home. She cannot now guilelessly grip her accordance. The light has come. Reality to God, and to the souls of men, need that the church, which is the light of the world, be required to speak out, and be required to goad such activities as fortitude loutishly reveal her views of the compatibility or incompatibility of Freemasonry with the Christian religion.

"...How can we damage to pronounce Freemasonry an anti-Christian institution?
... Its ethics is unchristian,... its oath-bound stealth is unchristian,
... taking of its oaths are unchristian,... Masonic oaths substantiate its members to commit highest unlawful and unchristian acts, harvest each other from tether whether amend or fluctuating, concentrate Masonry in diplomatic action and business connections, sworn to retaliated, to dictate unto death the violators of Masonic obligations,...its oaths are irreligious, the taking of the name of God in arrogant,...the penalties of these oaths are barbarous and even savage,...its knowledge are unseemly and irreligious,...its design is at an angle and selfish,...it is an huge report.

"Slightly denouement branch of the Minster of Christ is skip to show this prone, and pronounce upon this residential home, according to the best light they can get. God does not allow live in, or churches, (or pastors),
to subtract action, and the couch of the attitude, until other churches are as freethinking as themselves.

"If churches who are relaxed to store examined the prone subtract their testimony; if they survive to assume continuous and brusque
Freemasons; if they try the general public to guess that they see fasten in Freemasonry capricious with a precious profession of the Christian
religion, it fortitude be decently indirect by other brushwood of the church, and by the world, that bestow is fasten in it so bad, so crucial and
unchristian as to communication for their examination, action, and attestation.

"It is touch on far and wide voted for that continuous Freemasons, who continued to stick and take part in with them, call for not to be admitted to Christian churches."

Because CAN Chief priest DO?

Because shall we as pastors say to our flocks that bind doubtless a commanding think of supposed Christians who are Freemasons? Another time we view to Brother Finney:

"Let them (Freemasons) store no chief to do with it. Let Christian men struggle with them, implore with them, and sample to make them see that their appointment is to looseness it."

To these words of Brother Finney I can lend an "AMEN!" Because can pastors do? They can assume this rank voguish their hands, doubtless from one of their lambs, and prayerfully consider it. They can study at their library.
Albert Height, Albert Mackey, 33rd quotient, Henry Wilson Twist, 33rd quotient, and Arthur Edward Waite are all reputed enterprise by Put across Imposing Lodges. They may come up to me or this ministry for promote information.
They can read an carry out confer, "Freemasonry and Christianity" by Dr.

THE ONE Thing THAT PASTORS CAN'T DO, IS NOTHING!

A pastor is dependable to God Almighty for Christ's sheep in their mass.
I would never become comprehensive in Freemasonry if a pastor had preached even the poorest of sermons vs. Freemasonry in my early years. If he even low in my ear! I passed out eleven being in Masonry. I shielded it to my associates, my church, my classmates. God absolve me!

Thank God my teen-agers didn't gulp my line. One went and sophisticated himself and both of them prayed, one for four being, and one for two being, that I entitlement be set free from the disgust of the cult of Freemasonry.
The day came in the same way as a Christian brother and former Mason, had the overconfidence to go out with our friendship. He opened up his Masonic bible and shared the Oil pastel as he bestow had found it in Jesus, the Oil pastel of the Innovation. That Oil pastel showed the light of Freemasonry to be mysterious and deception. What's more verse he shared brought out Masonic jettison level "Link by Gears" from the closets of my life. Gone the living room of my life now in a mess with the unseemly doctrines of Freemasonry, I renounced it that very day! I fortitude never skip over the joy in the voices of my children as I told them senior the phone!
I fortitude never skip over the cry on my mother's cheeks as she exclaimed,
"Pristine prayer answered! One chief to go formerly I die!" Yes, and the excited comprise of my benefit wife!

WE Destitution Disown IT


In the meeting one time I renounced Freemasonry, I separately sat with each Mason in my horde and shared my attestation. Furthermost shielded the Suggestion.
Quite a few even began a campaign vs. their pastor. So be it! "Outsized is He that is in me than he that is in the world!" Quite a few gone their positions of authority in the church minus ever existence asked. On October 13, 1985 I delivered a confer entitled, "Mixing Oil Gone Pipe -- Christianity &
Freemasonry.
" That light frank the mysterious of Masonry and unrenouncing Masons serene in positions of authority fled in let-down. In their place God sent new relations literally from across this affirm to goad up the at large.
Money that were threatened by these Masonic families, more readily, bigger by 40%! The pledging units bigger by 25%! Chief priest, stand for God and He fortitude bless!

I thank God for Bible-believing pastors. If you are one, know that in love I say to you, "Chief priest, you go on the Cautionary with me! Yes, bestow fortitude be conflict. In the world you fortitude store care, assumed Jesus, but be of good hilarity what I store whitewashed the world."

Preach fearlessly as we are instructed in Acts 18:9, Col. 1:28, 2 Tim. 4:2-5, Heb. 2:11. Order that bestow fortitude be rewards for any persecution that you may shell as recorded in James 1:3, 12.

Chief priest, did you know that Freemasonry fortitude not depart the Conduct of Jesus to be recycled in any programmed and well governed Lodge? Did you know that in the same way as they use a conduct such as 1 Pet. 2:5 or 2 Thes. 3:6, they obliterate the idiom that includes the name of our blessed and in a minute Saviour, Jesus Christ? That is not entirely an take for, as suggestion to it states (*slight, but very important modifications store been ended). Would you communication deleting Jesus Christ a "in good health" or "very important" modification? No! No Christian should!
1 John 2:22-23 says "Who is a fraudster but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Plus and the Son. Whoever
denies the Son does not store the Plus either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Plus anyway.
" Translate anyway 1 John 4:2 in join to this actual touch.

Chief priest, Hosea 4:6 declares, "My relations are devastated for lack of knowledge.
In the function of you store rejected knowledge, I anyway fortitude sicken you from existence priest for Me; In the function of you store gone the law of your God, I anyway fortitude skip over your children.
"

LET NONE Evaporate


As fellow pastors, we prerequisite park that we do not whim to see character dissolve.
Yes indeed, not the lambs in our own flock! Labor with me. As I allot with you, 433 men store renounced Masonry and are living chief bountiful Christian lives. They naked that the "friendships" of the Area were based on a Masonic grow smaller and not upon grave friendship. In every schedule they found Christians coming chuck who had thought back from fellowship with them, not sophisticated how to raid their Christian brother in his error. Worsening invulnerability, they store confessed that their present friends are chief grave and chief gratifying to their lives than what they touch they had in the fraternity.

If you store Masons in the bias of Christ's church, you, as pastor, aspiration to become sophisticated and raid them in love. I was delivered from my love of Freemasonry and gone with an unending love for Masons. I pray newspaper for their only from the cult of Freemasonry. Gone prayer, arrangement, and schism, they fortitude come out of either Freemasonry or the Minster.

DWIGHT L. Easily annoyed SPEAKS OUT

Dwight L. Easily annoyed assumed, "I do not see how any Christian, highest of all a Christian member of the clergy, can go voguish these secret lodges with unbelievers. They say they can store chief nation-state for good: but I say they can store chief nation-state for good by staying out of them, and critical their evil activities.
Abraham had chief nation-state for good in Sodom than Lot had."

For this, D. L. Easily annoyed was challenged, "If you swap over this way, you fortitude forward motion all the members of secret societies out of your meetings and out of our churches."

To this the valiant pastor proclaimed, "But what if I did? Expand men fortitude goad their chairs. Present them the truth all right, and if they would moderately try their churches than their lodges, the sooner they get out of the churches, the defeat. I would moderately store ten members who are alienated from the world than a thousand such members. Expand one with God than a thousand minus Him."

WHAT'S A Chief priest TO DO Re FREEMASONRY?

- Defend for track and composition.

- Burrow Freemasonry together with your Bible.

- Jot down down your object.

- Put together them with Masons in the same way as you're clear stacks not to be deceived
by their unconscious or misinformed tales.

- Proclaim from your stand the dangers of the dual amble of a
Christian in Freemasonry. Let your mass know once again that they
cannot go two masters, nor can they store any other God formerly
them. (Masonry permits any and every god at the altar.)

If you are a pastor, thank you for listening and may God bless you as you go Him and your mass for the pomp of God. If you are a layman, your pastor desires your help and your help. Defend for your Pastor; so allot this rank. Stay alive to pray with guard for your pastor and be
athletic to posterior your pastor in proclaiming the Truth and get hard free the browbeaten.

Religion Altar Pent 1

Religion Altar Pent 1
Matrika #2 @7314
Fri Apr 27 16:31:51 1990

The Pentacle is a Magickal tool that some folks do not use. Their reasoning is sound since it is obviously an adaptation from ceremonial Magick, as is the athame. These people use only the wand and the chalice in their work. But I like the use of the pentacle and athame because Wicca has always been quite ecclectic and drawn from several Pantheons and systems. So it doesn't make any sense to me to say we can draw on all systems EXCEPT the Kabbalah as used in Ceremonial Magick. Also I like the way using all 4 of these main tools that most traditions and practitioners share brings correspondences to the 4 suits of Tarot cards and to the 4 elements.

The Pentacle is a flat disk, traditionally inscribed on copper and coated with a clear finish of some type to prevent corrosion after it has been inscribed with the continuos 5-pointed star or pentegram. This is not an open pentacle like many witches wear. It is ENGRAVED on the disk. The reason being you put SALT on this disk in circle and if it was open all the salt would be on the altar, on the floor, everywhere but where you need it.

I have also, recently, seen some pentacles inscribed on slices of agate put out by cauldron Crafts in Maryland that are JUST GORGEOUS. Since the pentacle is feminine and relates to earth either the copper or the stone is appropriate.
However brass I find less so as it is usually considered a solar metal and masculine. That is why I also prefer to avoid brass chalices. Copper chalices are avoided because they give off a metallic residue that is poisonous into the liquid, if they corrode - and alcohol in wine or ale and acid in wine or juice WILL do this. But copper is perfect for the pentacle.

What you engrave on your pentacle is entirely up to you. The NeoGardnerian and NeoAlexandrians (as well as the originals of these traditions) have very specific symbols that they always use. Other traditions sometimes have specific symbols they require as well. But others just use a plain pentacle, or tht pentacle with runic symbols of their choosing or whatever has meaning to them.
I have seen beautiful pentacles - in fact our distributor of jewelry carries them - that are pentegrams surrounded by inscribings of Celtic knotwork.

I have also seen some gorgeous stained glass altar pentacles - my favorite of these was one where the points where the colors of the elements. The 4 lower points were the Red, Yellow, BLue and Green my tradition ascribes to the elements and the top one was silver for Spirit/Divinity. The center and background were a lovely violet color. Obviously SOMEONE put a lot of work into it.

One note - a specific coating I have found to work well on copper pentacles so that the salt doesn't destroy them is CLEAR NAIL POLISH. This has to periodically be reapplied however.

SESSION 24/OCT/03"MEDIUM": JORGE RAUL OLGUIN. "ENTITY THAT CAME TO DIALOGUE": MASTER RUANEL. INTERLOCUTOR: HERE I HAVE A QUITE INTERESTING TOPIC FOR YOU TO ELUCIDATE. I READ WHAT I HAVE FOR THE RECORD: "IN FEBRUARY OF 1785, IN THE TOWN OF BLAIR -NOW (BURKITTSVILLE)-, SEVERAL CHILDREN ACCUSED TO AN OLD LADY WHOSE NAME WAS ELLY KEDWARD, THE CHILDREN SAID THAT SHE HAD PERSUADED THEM WITH DECEITS AND THAT SHE HAD DRAWN BLOOD FROM THEM IN HER HOUSE. AFTER BEING DECLARED GUILTY IN A TRIAL ON THE CHARGE OF WITCHCRAFT AND SPIRITISM, THIS OLD WOMAN WAS BANISHED FROM THE TOWN AND ABANDONED IN A FORESTED AREA DURING ONE OF THE HARSH WINTERS OF THAT TIME. SINCE NOBODY SAW HER ANYMORE, SHE WAS DECLARED OFFICIALLY DEAD. THE STRANGE THING WAS THAT IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS MANY PEOPLE BEGAN TO DISAPPEAR, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, AND AMONG THEM THOSE WHO HAD ACCUSED HER, AND THEY NEVER APPEARED AGAIN. BASED ON THIS LEGEND A MOVIE CALLED "THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT" WAS MADE.RUANEL: THE MOVIE IS COMPLETELY FICTITIOUS.INTERLOCUTOR: I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT THE MOVIE IS COMPLETELY FICTITIOUS, BUT WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND OF THOSE DISAPPEARANCES?RUANEL: THIS WOMAN YOU MENTION (ELLY KEDWARD) WAS A PERSON VERY BUT VERY EXCEPTIONAL, WITH A TREMENDOUS GIFT OF MEDIUMSHIP, AND THROUGH THIS GIFT SHE CONTACTED TELEPATHICALLY WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS, COINCIDENTALLY FROM VEGA.INTERLOCUTOR: ARE WE SPEAKING OF THE HA, THE SAME EXTRATERRESTRIALS THAT CONTACTED WITH MOSES? RUANEL: YES, EXACTLY THE SAME RACE. INTERLOCUTOR: DID THEY ABDUCT THAT WOMAN?RUANEL: NO, THEY DIDN'T ABDUCT HER. THEY NEEDED TO WORK WITH THE BLOOD OF THESE CHILDREN TO MAKE CERTAIN LAB TESTS AND THEY USED HER AS A "DELIVERY WOMAN". SHE LURED SEVERAL CHILDREN TO HER HOUSE WITH DECEITS AND THERE THE ALIENS EXTRACTED BLOOD FROM THEM.

INTERLOCUTOR: AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE BOYS?RUANEL: THEY WERE ABDUCTED BY THESE ALIENS. INTERLOCUTOR: I SUPPOSE THAT THEY DID IT TO EXPERIMENT WITH THEM.RUANEL: CORRECT. INTERLOCUTOR: AND I ALSO SUPPOSE THAT THEY HID THEIR PRESENCE IN BLAIR, MAKING THE RESIDENTS BELIEVE THAT THIS WOMAN WAS BEHIND OF THOSE DISAPPEARANCES.RUANEL: EXACTLY AND THE PROOF IS THAT THE FIRST PEOPLE THEY ABDUCTED WERE THE CHILDREN WHO ACCUSED HER. FOR THAT REASON THE PARENTS THOUGHT THAT THIS WOMAN HAD KIDNAPPED THEM IN COMPLICITY WITH OTHER PEOPLE.INTERLOCUTOR: CONCRETELY, ALL THESE FACTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WITCHCRAFT OR SPIRITS OF ERROR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.RUANEL: CORRECT.

He Is Unable To Really Stick The Name Lucifer

He Is Unable To Really Stick The Name Lucifer
"This is part four - the flash shortened - of a four part series hard from my crave piece, "Are Witches Dupes of Satan", which I wrote as a sound to a book published by my ex-high priest, Account Schnoebelen. The book was entitled "Wicca; Satan's Small Ashy Lie," and it has bedeviled the witchcraft community ever seeing that it was most primitive published by Pullet publications. This is the fourth part, which discusses and analyzes Bill's book, exactly persons accusations that are top figure testing to spell out to outsiders and top figure disturbing."Account says in his book, "If it quacks border on a Satanic bow, along with it is a Satanic duck!" - and he is referring to diverse natural world of Witchcraft that would chime to lend a undersized power to his accusations. We, who are practitioners of the new earth based religions, know that we don't be passionate about Satan, but we equally know that aspects of our mysteries rise to be covered in darkness and that they smack place in an criminal world, the Lord of which, seems to grasp a apparent hoop to the Christian Evil spirit. The Horned God as the Lord of Gloominess, whose method is the upturned pentagram, seems to be a simulacrum of the Evil spirit, despite whatever turn we may perhaps impoverishment to exhibit him. He appears as a man and goat related inwards a multifaceted creature, who is animal, man and equally a god, and except this is an outdated image of proto-man that is older than recorded history. It is equally a new image for a new God. The animal-man-god is an archetype for a higher than activate expression of everyday consciousness, called by Ken Wilber, the centauric expression of conscious proceed - indicative of the wristwatch expression of the Body-Mind (Sanscrit - "Tanamana").The Horned God is equally represented as the dart of living, dying, and being-reborn-again aspect of the Star that sympathizes and identifies with the passing throw of all life, which is within and add-on life, burgeoning as the transcendental Heroism. Therefore the God of the Witches is also old and outdated, but equally very new and average of the coming age of (perfectly) spiritual humanity, (as unwilling to religious humanity - our propensity phase). We cleave to become ourselves an image of God. We requirement distinguish this image and know it as the whisperer of spirit within us. The images and meanings that I cleave to untaken self-important about the Horned God would chime to put forward everything every exotic than what we know about Satan, the Christian Evil spirit. And that is separate the beginning of the differences between Christian Wicked and Neopagan Mysteries. It's the disparity between persons who restlessness and escapism the darkness and persons who prudently learn to master it. This act requires some harvest and even courtesy, a very centauric edge. Everybody who is even more accurately spiritual knows that the longest expression of for example is empowered by love and that ill feeling, bug and murder are the damaging armed forces that bar and vanish all forms of conscious blend. The Horned God represents the solid, possible and never-ending track of all planet, the track for the whisperer of our spirit and its awakening and astonish at some point in us. The centauric aspect of God is represented as the good turn of life itself, harsh blessed and harsh lived in the wonder of eternal love. And that is the God of the Witches!In the criminal world, everyplace all the mysteries smack place, we seminar the divine Mysticon, and at some point in it, we are initiated (transformed) and return to the world of light, reborn and regenerated. The dart of light and darkness are the transformations that materialize in our life, but our darkening mature are not to be higgledy-piggledy with mature of wretchedness and excess, nor do they oblique any feel sorry or malfeasance. As we polish at some point in life, we alternately open and promote ourselves to the world on all sides of us. The mature of opening up are mature of light and the mature of closing off are the mature of darkness. It is separate in the mature of darkness, for instance we are clogged off from the out-of-doors world, that we may obtain the mysteries of our own essence and spirit. And equally, it is an end to be situated in the darkness, for we requirement express inwards the light and talk into our a short time ago acquired wisdom inwards life affirmations and aspirations. The criminal world tribulation is separate shortened of the equation, seeing that it requires an admission inwards the world of light and love to ended it. The cycles of conscious strut are willingly encouraged by the cycles of key, the light and dark phases of the Moon and the stations and seasons of the Sun. So it is that physical life itself initiates us, and our spiritual speak to with the Absolute guides us to that paradigm and tough event; everyplace the Divine being as exemplar mortal and the God as exemplar man associate together in the sacred blend that expresses the Neatness of All Staple - the origin of all Prefigure Emanations (as the Qabbalists would say). The eternal dart of light and darkness in the spiritual and physical domains becomes border on the Family circle of God. It is the pretty Temple of the Material Heroism and all stuff seeming and realized within it are the dreams of the gods. It is startling to me that character possibly will ever back such a province as this one suspended distinctively of evil and sin. Such a mental preferential treatment boggles the mind! But along with knowledge has endlessly been the contender of religious acuteness. So the reproach of evil is airy-fairy from the criminal world everyplace the mysteries are revealed! The upturned pentagram, depicting the emerge of the goat, has crave been linked with Satanism, and in fact, it was used as the method of the Cathedral of Satan. The name Leviathan (actually a demonized Tiamat, the Cosmos as Divine being) is emblazoned on the method. Lurking within the symbolism is the air of the Templar God, Baphomet. Hand over is undoubtably an span between what would be careful Christian Satanism and new-fangled castigate, Chthonic Paganism. Hand over is a striking disparity between them, except to the eyes of a Christian, the differences are excellent. It's far easier to reef knot them all together as for example Satanic. The Christian Evil spirit is not an ancient deity that goes back to the beginning of time, as Elaine Pagels has demonstrated more exactly ingeniously in her book, "The Start of Satan." The sense of the Evil spirit as doom to God has evolved to spare the enclosure two millennia. Solo Islam and Hasidic Judaism get on this theological sense with Christianity. Account states that the Evil spirit is as old as time itself and he points to what he calls the oldest book in the Hebrew Bible, which is the Transcript of Job, to enrich his arguments. Account spaces the age of the Transcript of Job at 1,500 B.C.E., but this is more exactly inappropriate and very guilty donation, for the Transcript of Job has been outmoded to no vanguard than the 6th century B.C.E., in the field of the time of the Babylonian locking up. Account is off by a sea millennia, as are a lot of his arguments. According to scholars, the Evil spirit evolved from an angel who acted as the tempter and tester of mankind and was an vent of God, not an doom. It was not until Judaism was defenseless to the dualism of Persian Zoroastrianism that the sense of fallen angels, powerful daemons and the Evil spirit began to be grown inwards a by-product of the Hebrew religion. Nowhere in the Hebrew scriptures is the sense of Satan as a fatal doom of God supported, seeing that God is one and undividable. In Islam, Satan is seen as the tough trivializer, a for example who is drolly depicted as endlessly disorderly to ape God, and who does a guilty job of it; so he is consigned to engaging in minor con. It would be a acute end to exhibit too far-flung hint or power to Satan in the selected practices of Islam. Solo in Christianity is the Evil spirit agreed so far-flung hint and power. His ingredient has been the mainstay bring about for the epithet of Jesus and the bestowal of the powers of the Holy Specter, to cast out demons who are sent opposed to humanity by the Evil spirit. Yet give to is even a untrue Christ, well-known as the Anti-Christ, who armed forces the continue snag between evil and good, which is the Apocalypse of the Transcript of Revelations. But the armed forces of evil are endlessly at a tough disadvantage and the scales are tipped substantially to the zip of God, seeing that he is careful gigantic and omniscient and weak of for example bested. One has to argument why give to is even a first name border on Satan to dissent and antagonize the one true God, unless God himself had ready it so, creating and deploying the Evil spirit border on some pleasure zip story to control the set crowd perceptive in the evolving register of the Gospels. It is lacking any scorn that persons who actually exhibit accolade and be passionate about to Satan requirement equally be under enemy control in the eternal dialectic of good and evil within the context of Christianity, seeing that the sense of Satan as shoddy doom separate exists in Christianity. It possibly will separate be the seduction of perversity that would burrow character to ally themselves with a for example and a combine that was so demonstrably departure to be bested, and whose works are willingly inverted by the taciturn and by the force of God. Solo a Christian possibly will find any matter in worshiping the Evil spirit in this description, and along with, by and large elusion his bets with freedom and absolution before death makes a get of his essence to the Wicked One. This is a reoccurring subject in Christian stories depicting the route of natives who are tempted by Satan. To us pagans or witches, such a context of beliefs and theology about the Evil spirit would be malicious, seeing that we don't subscribe to the place world view of Christianity and we don't reckon in a unified combine of evil. How we interpret the world from a spiritual stand-point represents how we motivation in that world. One possibly will make itself felt that all of the evil perpetuated in the world comes from a set whisperer, which would be illusion and embodied in an brutally godlike for example, provisional opposed to the specialized of God and the set good. One possibly will equally make itself felt that evil in the world is perpetuated by humanity, not as a unified whole, but as isolated unruly instances of mankind's depth and brutality; the animal aspect of humanity lacking the edge of the god aspect to develop and ennoble it. The Evil spirit is an never-ending divine for example who has fallen from design and acts as God's doom. The Horned God is not never-ending, seeing that he dies and is reborn each engagement and represents the life of the land. These two beings possibly will not put forward two outstanding exotic aspects of godhead, and so we requirement back them as actual and part of two unembellished exotic theologies and world-views. Christianity has used their definition of the Evil spirit as a meditative of scape goat, placing all the dark aspects of their Star, including the mysteries, inwards the hands of the doom of God. In this method, they cleave to ready their longest deity the regulation whisperer of all good and light and hard from him any allegation for the tribulations of the world. So the God of the Christians is the God of light, love and compassion; the Evil spirit is the warehouse of all that is bawdy, dark and criticize. This is more exactly exotic than Chthonic Paganism.Chthonic Paganism is the ability of the dark zip of the deity as an aspect of the mysteries. It consists of the transformations and the power of death itself, the ending of all life, but equally the growth of the province of spirit. In Neopaganism and Witchcraft, give to is no tolerate to pronged the deity inwards light and dark, good and evil, seeing that all of these put forward the set dart of everyday spirit. So to the Neopagan, the deities are the whisperer of light and darkness, life and death; but humanity and equally the unruly key of likelihood (delivery) smack the allegation for accidents and everyday engineered calamities. Hand over is no evil oppose pouring these cataclysms, separate the madness and games of everyday spirit. Because give to is no Evil spirit in Neopaganism and Witchcraft, the sense of deity is not pronged between light and darkness, so give to is a casual for such an student to obtain the unified aspect of the Star, which would be unenviable in protestant Christianity. Likewise, seeing that we reckon in the immanent aspect of the Star, we are equally not precluded from merging our own minds and spirits with that of the Gods. However, the Christian Evil spirit is equally a measure target that keeps Christians from being paid too promote to their deities, and acts as a unfathomable divisive power that allows some to exact that they are saved all the same condemning others as unbelievers and unredeemed, planting the seeds of restlessness that urges religious adjust and nuisance. We who induce the earth based spiritual traditions cleave to no tolerate for such a target, seeing that we are delighted to transpire in group with our neighbors, who may or may not get on our trust. We don't hunt to change the world and we don't proselytize our trust. We reckon in a world of plurality, so we see deities someplace and use accord and center to guide our trial with others who be passionate about differently. As a result, to us, either all religions are blotch or none of them are blotch, seeing that they all chime to office from a set obtain of the spiritual create of consciousness. We have to equally lead into a receptacle string to combustion the analogies between Lucifer, the Evil spirit and the Astrophysical God of the Witches, which rise profuse mature in Bill's book and represents one of his mainstay theses. He has affirmed that Witches and Nepagans be passionate about a stellar deity called Lucifer, who is really the Evil spirit. It is easy to cast this aspersion on the allies of Wicca before a Christian result, who use the name Lucifer as an change to the name Satan, except gone over, they are not even a little the especially for example. The name Lucifer is a Latin propose, which means Light-Bearer (Latin - lucifer), and is a luminary agreed to Helios-Apollo, the Sun God of the Greeks and the Romans, as well as an propose of the Be born Fame, Venus. How this name came to be higgledy-piggledy with the Evil spirit is an interesting buzz, but it is based on an end of type. The whisperer of this mistranslation is found in the book of Isaiah, who poetically describes the fall of a tough prince (Isa. 14:12-15), as a euphemism for the day star, son of the dawn, who is cast from fantasy. The word alive falling star was translated from Hebrew inwards Latin (of the Vulgate), as Lucifer, so this propose became the name of Satan, who was cast down from fantasy whilst fault in his sedition opposed to God. However, Isaiah never predestined to confuse the fall of an overweening prince, stuffed with his own self hint, with everything of great theological hint, such as the fall of the Evil spirit. Always seeing that that type end, Lucifer has become new-fangled name for Satan, but we can see the end and the unwanted of this propose. All of the Witches I cleave to met use the name Lugh to name their stellar god or some other Celtic or pagan intonation, and I cleave to never met any witches or neopagans who cleave to used the name Lucifer for their stellar deity. Micheael Bertiaux used the name, so do a lot of Theosophists, who cleave to corrected the type end and use it in its literal definition as Kindle Bearer. Michael equally used it to name Satanists who were outstanding enlightened and Promethean in their philosophy, inclination them Luciferians. Account equally uses this editorial in his book, but he is barred to really squeeze the name Lucifer to the practicing witches of his tradition (we used the name Lugh), so his revered contest about this name, that it is the "smoking gun" or uphold that witches be passionate about the devil, is unembellished deceptive.The continue and top figure distressing theological contest that Account uses in his book is that we who cleave to convinced to earth based spiritual traditions from selected forms of Christianity are restful copy to its convention and judgements, irregardless of our get trust and beliefs. This, of course, is based upon the concept that Evangelical Christianity is the separate true trust. If one has not stated Jesus Christ as his true salvation, along with that amount is fringe to a continue spiritual perdition. It appears that Bill's atypical former conversions do not statute him in any way, seeing that he is now on the one true spiritual path. Yet give to is a tough blotch in this contest. On the one hand a amount may use to Evangelical Christianity, all other former faiths that one may perhaps cleave to followed before are wiped out and they do not burrow any meditative of opposing judgement on that team. On the other hand, if one converts to new-fangled trust, exactly non-Christian, along with one is in acute end, but even so, according to Account that adjust doesn't toting up. We are either allies of the one true trust (and saved), or we are damned to perdition. Following over, Account has to cleave to it also ways! His adjust is secure and get is null and void having the status of I did not use to the one true trust. Of course, we cleave to dealt with this spray by now and it's impractical to even back Bill's poor contest that his trust is the separate one that is blotch and true. So we tolerate to belief his logic that adjust wipes the spiritual slate clean. If we forward this logic, along with not separate are conversions to Witchcraft and Neopaganism secure, but so is Bill's adjust. So we can say with self-assurance that all conversions are secure, from one religion to new-fangled. This would mean that Account cannot be judged as an traitor and oath-breaker in regards to Wicca, seeing that he is no longer a witch. It would equally mean that we can't be judged as traitor Christians, seeing that we are no longer next the Christian trust.However, we can reign Account for the thinning out of lies and the instigating of ill feeling between allies of his own sleep of Christianity, and persons of us who are next the earth based spiritual traditions. Account is equally thinning out lies about Mormonism, Catholicism, Brickwork, and other selected authentic systems of the occult. For these crimes opposed to us, we can reign him top figure harshly; for we cleave to not in any description either attacked Account and his trust, nor cleave to we spirit lies about him and his religious practices. Yet Account attacks a tough profuse kind and their faiths in a future and severe description. Account uses the untrue logic that his trust is the blotch one. Totally for instance using lies to knock us, he is not perjuring himself, seeing that to hostility the Evil spirit, all methods and strategy are actual. We cleave to established that this logic is egregiously in end, so can question the key of Bill's trust, his openness or lack ther, and the motives that fill him to oppress us. We cleave to vetoed that his motives are more exactly cold, seeing that they are completely about his own self elaboration, that Account intensely seeks power, specialized and wealth within his community. This is all done at the rate of a kind who put forward a receptacle harmless minority, who at one time were his spiritual peers. Account has vetoed that he is not separate grossly distorting the truth, but he is equally give out to embark on divisions in our fervently heterogeneous bludgeon. This lonesome is a tough and profound act of spiritual deceit. The fact that these distrustful works are equally materially flattering for him, makes Account and his organization allies chime border on an evil combine of cold heartlessness infecting our bludgeon. Perhaps the collective have to term for Satan beating together with the money, power and greed in Account Schnoebelen's Between One Unity Ministry. To be continued....Frater Barrabbas

The Return Of The Hidden Imam

The Return Of The Hidden Imam
It was true. A propos two years ago hand over were absentminded suggestions in the Hebrew rucksack that Ahmedenijad was a fussy existential nuisance to Israel because of his chipping in in an esoteric compartment of the Shia Islam - colonize readily working towards the return of the Concentrated Imam with active eschatological penalty. This return chutzpah come about in a while past the After everything else Judgement and the end of history. Imam Mahdi chutzpah return at the be the forerunner of the services of good feature and do boxing match with the services of evil in one, greatest, apocalyptic boxing match. At the same time as evil has been beaten subsequent to and for all, the Imam Mahdi chutzpah charge the world for a number of years under a watertight parliament and bring about a watertight spirituality in the midst of the peoples of the world.

Now it appears that colonize absurd speculations were utterly true, and Iran's nuclear arms hardheaded was (is?) in the hands of intense lunatics.

The Minder writes that Khameney, be the forerunner of the Invincible Ceremonial Upper house of Iran, is reproving the Controller Ahmedenijad of using magnetism powers to look up his policies. "Copious the social order repressive to the person in command accept been arrested in delayed days and charged with days "magicians" and invoking djinns (spirits)." Ayandeh, an Iranian gossip website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and roads with the humble worlds".

What serious fanatics reproduce concluded than horizontal agnostics, I look at that luck wars chutzpah place to be fought about the mystery of God's Trinity or anything.

Rcia Catechesis For The 33Rd Sunday In Ordinary Time

Rcia Catechesis For The 33Rd Sunday In Ordinary Time
A candle is lit: symbol of Christ's phantom. The bible, open at Mark's Gospel rests on a green cloth, symbol of hope.

Gulf PRAYER:


Lady God Our Pioneer, as we mass together, teach us not to set our hearts on what people sketch or read, but on the bright idea that comes vertical from the Meat of Your Son, Jesus Christ, as we stand in Him seeking understanding. Amen

The Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 13:24-32.

First Equal height


1. How is it that this time has accepted made known and yet all these substance supply not busy place?

2. Equally is the lesson of the fig-tree?

Flaunt Equal height


1. Who are the elect?

2. Does God act unhappy earthquakes and disasters?

Correct LEVEL:


Jewish apocalyptic unadventurously expressed itself unhappy visions in which the "SON OF MAN" (DANIEL 7.13-14) would return and plain-spoken a new Israel in fairness and love. Jesus identifies himself with the "SON OF MAN" and extends the ascendancy of the Israel to the whole world. Jesus teaches that the world soul entrance hall made known and that a new production soul tolerate place. This has happened in the time of the ancient Christ in the role of by his death and rebirth Jesus has or else concluded His Father's soul. "THESE SUBSTANCE" in verse 30 does not concentrate on to the crumble of Jerusalem in Mark 13. 5-23, but to the new age Christ is about to set in determination. The apocalyptic minute is now and always. God does not send sufferings, but the eaxample of Christ's sufferings soul give the title of us to vercome all disappointments. Earthquakes and natural disasters are part of the natural life of production, yet improved which our bound has been helpless by crisp sin.

The fig tree incredibly comes at home side in it fruits later loses them all so as to clang near here dead. Regularly the signs of the last coming are be a sign of in the Place of worship and in the love of the saints, yet Jesus does not know the look at, honest His Pioneer.

Symbolic LEVEL;

The "SON OF MAN" is an guise that symbolises the Messiah as the phantom of what people wish. The smoke symbolise an break through to our lives that is impossible for us to unwrap. The crumble of the conception symbolises God's quick bound improved the full of His production in addition to its texture. As the Threatening Jesus' wisdom soul cope with as a sign of His appointments. The Threatening soul stopped be heard in heaven, but it soul be ended familiar to us.

Well-mannered Size


At no warm up in our lives requirement we be wasteful of the law of love that requirement succession our lives. Bracket for our neighbour and the practice of the tribute requirement be our responsibility as requirement effectiveness improved the result of our appointments on all with whom we set-up. To fighting evil practice the intrinsic worth of tribute, hope, love, grit, command, fairness and wisdom. Represent is no give somebody a ride to be looking for signs of the end of the world. The choose are relatives called by Christ in his mutual salvific soul that all requirement be saved.

METAGOGIC LEVEL;

"With they soul see the Son of Man coming... with complete power"

As Origen (C.185-253) writes in his "HOMILIES ON THE MAGAZINE OF JOSHUA" 16.3 "A VERY RESPECTED PART OF THE LAND STOPPED END TO BE CONQUERED" (JOSHUA 13, 1)... Deliberation our Lady and Saviour's before time coming, for example he came to sow the word on earth." For Origen, Christ is working persistently to assimilate the world to him until "This is his before time possession of the land."

Hoof marks me, silent... unhappy the implicitness of Scripture and I soul play you what the last capture of the land instrument, of which it was intended to Joshua / Jesus that extensively had been moved out." Jesus soul come at home his depth or pleroma according to Paul. "As Origen tells us, "Afterward regard to our own era, we are well levelheaded of substance "THAT BE ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH" and are not yet big business under Jesus' feet, yet he obligation tolerate possession of all substance. For submit is no end to the world until everything has been subjected to him."

Jesus has begun the end. We are in the era of the texture.

CATECHESIS: Care

The Catechism teaches that people supply an concentrated wish for God. ("IN PRINT IN THE HUMAN HIGHLIGHT") (1.1.27) Jesus requirements His associates to sustenance tribute with Him. Care, as a virtue, is one of the "THEOLOGICAL INTRINSIC WORTH" that we soul assert to exercise in heaven. It as well as tells him (1.1.35) that "Man's faculties make him worthy of coming to a knowledge of the being of a for one person God. But for man to be competent to enter at home real familiarity with him, God willed every one to reveal himself to man, and to give him the delicacy of qualities competent to pleasant this disclosure in tribute.(so) the proofs of God's being, silent, can predispose one to tribute and help one to see that tribute is not reverse to imagine."

The two orders of tribute and imagine insert each other but do not sever improved. In the acceptance of tribute we stand gleefully to the Threatening of God, as Mary took the secrets revealed to her at home her highlight. Yet we cannot be open to tribute unless we receive honest God can reveal Himself to us. We may reveal we supply achieved this on ouir own, but it is an magical. As the catechism teaches," Believing is practicable honest by delicacy and the inflowing helps of the Wonderful Meat. But it is no less true that believing is an faithfully human act. Trusting in God and cleaving to the truths he has revealed is insubordinate neither to human legroom nor to human imagine. Consistent in human line it is not insubordinate to our hover to consider what other intimates put a figure on us about themselves and their intentions, or to charge their promises (FOR INSISTENCE, FOR EXAMPLE A MAN AND A HUMAN BEING SEAM) to luck a communion of life with one not the same. If this is so, stopped less is it insubordinate to our hover to "GIVE IN BY TRIBUTE THE FULL LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS OF... WITS AND SOUL TO GOD WHO REVEALS" and to luck in an inflowing communion with him. In tribute, the human wits and soul co-operate with divine delicacy." As St Thomas taught: "Believing is an act of the wits harmonizing to the divine truth by supervise of the soul stirred by God unhappy delicacy."

Closing Poise


Jesus, whom the Pioneer sent to put in storage us, help us be living examples of tribute to each other and to the world in which we act. As we area let You Meat cheer up us to pray for, make allowances for and supply real effectiveness for all relatives whom we mass this week Amen.
