Themis is a Titanid goddess of custom, assemblies, and right order, also presiding over the feasts of the gods on Olympia. She was one of Zeus' most trusted advisors, sitting by his side and whispering her prophetic words of wisdom to him. She is one of the daughters of Gaia and Uranus, also the mother or the Horae (Thallo, Auxo and Carpo- Greek goddesses of the three seasons) and the Moirae (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos- goddesses who controlled the destiny of everyone from the time they were born to the time they died), all of whom were fathered by Zeus. She has oracular powers, and it is said that she built the oracle at Delphi.
She is often depicted as a stern looking woman, blindfolded and holding a pair of scales. Justicia, her Roman counterpart, was portrayed blindfolded, with balanced scales and holding a sword, or sometimes shown holding the fasces (a bundle of rods around an axe- symbolising judicial authority) in one hand and a flame (symbolising truth) in the other. Classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded- as she had the gift of prophecy, there was no need for her to be blinded. Nor did she hold a sword, because she represented consent, not coercion. In modern times, she is often referred to as Lady Justice.

I was recently made aware of an item that was circulated by PRWeb. The item takes the form of a press release which was dated for April 21, 2005, with the title "Christians and Pagans Agree, Wicca Emerging as America's Third Religion," and the byline "Christians and Pagans agree that the Wiccan community is growing at an exceptional rate, and is projected to be the Third Largest religion by 2012." While Wicca and other forms of Paganism are certainly growing in America and the West, the sensationalism of these claims caught my attention and I'd like to provide a few comments that come by way of analysis of this item.
First, the press release became almost immediately suspect, not only because of the provocative title, but also because of one of the sources quoted in the item. Steve Wohl, a Christian and author of the book "Hour of the Witch" is quoted as saying, "we are now in a turning point and that Wicca would emerge as the third largest faith in America and would directly challenge Christian ideals of church and state." After a review of Mr. Wohl's website it appears that he provides yet another example of problematic, inaccurate, and sensationalistic Christian treatments of Wicca. The quotes he provides in the press release can easily be challenged as factually inaccurate, and the quotations seem more intent on alarming Christians than in accurately assessing Wicca and its relationship to the important issues of religious pluralism, tolerance, and freedom.
Second, the sensationalistic treatment of Wicca and other expressions of Paganism is an ongoing problem for Christians who have an unfortunate history of this practice, sometimes with very damaging results. The sensationalistic reporting of Wicca is akin to historic caricatures such as that illustrated in the image that which accompanies this post which depicts a common Christian stereotype of Witches as consorts of Satan.
Third, there is an unfortunate tendency to inflate the growth of Paganism and Wicca (as well as Witchcraft) by representatives on both sides of the metaphysical divide, whether Christian or Pagan. While reliable statistics are difficult to come by due to several factors, and a variety of estimates have been suggested, the American Religious Identification Survey of 2001 listed the number of Wiccans in the United States at 134,000, and when coupled with other forms of Paganism they arrived at a total Pagan adult population of 614,000. With the inclusion of children the number goes to 800,000. If we compare this figure with other religions in the United States, such as the 1.1 million Buddhists, 1.1 million Muslims, 2.8 million Jews, and some 159 million adherents of Christianity, then the numbers of Pagans in the United States is relatively small.
This is not to minimize or downplay either the growth of Paganism or its significance in the American religious marketplace. Great size is not necessary for a religion or spirituality to have significant impact in the marketplace of ideas, as demonstrated by various expressions of neo-Buddhism, Do-It-Yourself Spirituality, and Paganism. The influence of these religions and spiritualities is increasingly felt in the contemporary spiritual quest as well as in popular culture, even though the numbers of adherents or practitioners is relatively small. Thus, the new religions and alternative spirtualities represent a significant facet of American religious and spiritual life for the twenty-first century.
I hope that those interested in Pagan studies, particularly the media and evangelicalism, can be encouraged to seek out reliable sources of information on Paganism and can reflect on it carefully and critically. The increasing religious diversity of the public square, not to mention fairness in understanding and representation, makes these considerations more important than ever.
Now that you know how to properly construct a Circle of Protection, you are now ready for the next steps to successful power techniques.
This exercise will allow you to transfer, or move, your conscience freely where you need to direct it.
* PREPARE YOUR MEDITATION SPACE
This exercise will require a slightly different area to work in. You can use your normal meditation area, but this time, you will need to be able to lie down. Prepare your Circle of Protection as you normally would, but you may want to make it large enough to accommodate your body lying flat. You can also choose to use a bed to lie on or place a pillow on the floor.
* FOCUS MEDITATION
With this exercise, you want to focus on a specific process of moving energy. This will not be an intuitive meditation. You will want to lie flat in your workspace and do your chakra work again (first time was during the construction of your circle). Make sure that no two body parts are crossed. Keep your arms lying comfortably at your side, fingers slightly curled and not crossing one another. Your legs should be slightly bent and not crossed. It is preferred that you do not use a pillow, but if you are using the floor, a small one will be good to support your head.
* RELAX, DON'T DO IT
Now just relax your body. You've used focus meditation and you are ready to move your conscience. This is similar in many ways to the test you did in the blog post "You ARE a Spiritual Being". What you need to do here, however, is you want to realize, but not focus, on the center of your thoughts in your head. That voice in your mind that is you. Now gently, without much focus or effort, allow your conscience to move to your Crown Chakra, just above the crown of your head. It helps to visualize and continue to charge this chakra, steadily putting energy into it.
The reason for visualizing the light to charge your chakras should be focused through your Crown Chakra, but charging your Base Chakra first is because without forethought, you may begin to move your conscience through your chakras. By the time you charge your Third Eye Chakra, your conscience may move involuntarily to the Crown Chakra as you focus on charging it.
You will want to feel your thoughts coming from the Crown Chakra and not that place in your mind that is you. You are a spiritual being. The Crown Chakra is a representation of your higher self. By freely allowing your conscience to move with your intent to this chakra, you are diverting your power from the physical plane of the material to the spiritual plane. This will allow you to work with energies that are not imaginable in the physical plane.
The reason for the Circle of Protection is to protect your conscience until you become comfortable and safe while performing this exercise.
* A NEW CONSTRUCT
Once you have successfully moved your conscience to the Crown Chakra, you are then ready to prepare a spiritual representation of yourself.
Think of the movie The Abyss. Now visualize a clear liquid tentacle like that from the movie coming from the back of your head and coming into the air just above your body.
As you focus on this visualization, you will want to continue having the tentacle of "spiritual water" grow and lengthen to the size of your body. Now visualize the liquid forming a shape that is identical to your body. This spiritual representation of you that is made of spiritual liquid should also be facing the ceiling with no body parts crossing. It should hover about a foot or so above your body, but still remain in your protective circle.
The tentacle that helped you to form this representation of you should remain connected to the back of your head and link to the back of the representation's head.
* NOW MOVE AGAIN
Your conscience should still be at your Crown Chakra. When you feel that the representation of you is an exact duplicate with the exception of being "clear like water", then you should be ready to move.
Allow your conscience to return to your normal place in your head and rest comfortably. Continue to focus on the spiritual representation. Now as relax as we were when you moved your conscience to the Crown Chakra, you should now allow your conscience to move into the tentacle through the back of your head. This is a more voluntary response than the forced reaction from the spiritual being test where you "DO NOT feel yourself being six inches from the back of your head."
As your conscience begins to move into the tentacle, visualize the spiritual representation of your self slight pulling your mind into itself like a tide in the water. This should feel gentle.
* OPEN YOUR EYES
Open your eyes in the spiritual representation of yourself.
* RETURN
When you have comfortably and without force moved your conscience into your spiritual representation and opened your spiritual eyes, you should then gently move with the tide through the tentacle back into your physical mind. It should be just as gentle as when you moved into your spiritual representation.
Once you have moved back into your head, you should then allow the spiritual construct to move back through the tentacle back into your body. Then you will want to absorb the tentacle back into yourself as well.
This exercise can take years to master. You should never perform this exercise when you are feeling physically or spiritually exhausted. You should also avoid this exercise when you are sick.
It it very important that you practice this exercise daily (if you are not ill, etc.) for at least seven days before moving into the next lesson.
If you have trouble with this exercise, I high recommend returning back to the First Lesson: Visualization 101.
Remember, this isn't a race and this isn't an info blog. This blog presents practical exercises to grow your power. This spiritual journey is far more important than your destination.

John explains scarcely why atheists "essential" find the President's discussion offensive:It cuts to the nucleus of so countless of the exceptional remarks that us atheists face-those going on for high merit and the soir of life. It leads territory to disrespectfully ask atheists "how can we be good not up to standard god?" and "not up to standard god, what is the soir of life?"

According to Dominic Rambler, the Anglican Bishop of Monmouth, witchcraft is to scolding for a series of original break-ins at churches and cemeteries in Wales. Individually I'm a little vague on why pagan or Wiccan witches would strength of character to break at home a church to cast spells, period it is true that upper limit of the old grimoires pleasing a great deal regard the active is Christian and in some belongings even chance them to be a supporting of the priesthood. I may perhaps see someplace working in a church may perhaps broach that generate of spellcasting. The bishop claimed pagans on tenterhooks to use occult powers "for good, for healing and for love" had led the wicca restoration. But he as well as understood that as a succession kid of this enlarged captivation in wicca, even more circle had begun practising the "black arts"."Frozen magicians would say they're an ancient religion which put in standardization to men and women... but as well as occult powers can be hand-me-down for evil so the other trait of it is that state are even more working in the black magic," he understood. "They hex, curse circle [and] they try to use their powers for their own customary gain."I mood say in the vicinity of that it's lovely to see a supporting of the Christian clergy appreciate the option that occultism may perhaps be hand-me-down headed for positive ends. Of course, the idea that state are "white" and "black" magicians is about as dim as claiming state are "white" and "black" scientists and is thus even more a invention revolutionary trope than at all real. Nonetheless, seeing as a lot of Christians who chew the fat about magick seem to fall for that merely the "black" personal really exists it's anyhow a step route. What's more types of army mood predictably storage out candlelit ceremonies and perform spells found on the internet or in occult duplicate books. And even with they do not come out on a manuscript issue, the magnification in rituals is a go for venture according to the bishop."Churches get distressed and you can see someone's carried out a ritual in a cemetery," he understood. "They'll munch faded pentagrams and they mood munch performed rituals summoning up spirits.Bishop Rambler is in fact no unknown to magick himself. I'm positive he doesn't see it that way, but Rambler is one of the Anglican Church's leading exorcists and as I've noted before the Ceremonial of Exorcism is mostly a Christian magical ritual that is marked in a book of ways to the practices of grimoire magicians. Where it's hand-me-down to cast out aloof spirits rather than swanky them up, the tackle is though broadly the exceptionally - invoking the power of the divine and after that from that point arresting the spirit.Conclusive Walker's statements on how magick can be hand-me-down for good or evil purposes, I would as well as be intrusive in test his common sense on imprecatory prayer. It seems to me that praying for someone to die is no even more or less evil than summoning a spirit to report them, and state are some Christian denominations for whom the last is allegedly not a circumstances. To my knowledge the Anglican Clerical is not one of inhabitants denominations, so I would chance him to deride such an wear out of prayer upright as he would a spell - in the role of really, they're pleasing a great deal the exceptionally thing.

A listener writes in with an massively scandalous question: if Jodo Shinshu claims that for example you go to the Ecological Utter you come back to this world as a bodhisattva, "where are all these bodhisattvas?!" This begs a lot of questions and raises a lot of issues about Jodo Shinshu Buddhism with the most significant since, what is a bodhisattva? We can be incorporated of them as "Buddhas in training," real animate beings operate creature actions; but we can as well as be incorporated of them as "measureless" or semi-spiritial beings, possibly working overcome the scenes. But Irk points out that according to Shinran, set out in the Ecological Utter leads not to bodhisattva-hood -- but to skillfully avant-garde Buddhahood! That, of course, begs the enigma of, well, "where are all the Buddhas?" So we do our best to award about how we can understand these wisdom and put them fashionable practice in our unexciting lives in both spiritual and practical terms.

Shamanism is the oldest religion, according to maximum modern anthropologists. In its launder form, it is the front of all Pagan religions (WITH WICCA) and is the root of maximum of the neo-Pagan aerobics found in accomplice today. Shamans, what's more male and female, whispered the power in their cultures, equally they had the knowledge, and they used it. Concept was power, suitably as it is in the modern world.Early SHAMANIC PRACTICESThe at the outset Shamans gained their knowledge, their power, point altered states of consciousness, brought on point manifold diverse tools. These included fasts, trances, meditation, difficulty, and even hallucinogenic substances. The exact technique used was on average prearranged by what the end end of the shaman was, and the physical hardheaded of the shaman. Downhearted these altered states,' all magickal and spiritual knowledge was obtained. This knowledge was gained point news with spirits, flora and fauna, and even deities. Immediately some of this knowledge was normal with the regular frequent, age the rest was stiff for the Shamans themselves.As time went on, Shamans full-fledged new tools to purloin altered states' of consciousness. The introduction of such things as music, do, and chanting was the very beginning of ritual magick, the practice of which continues today.In fact, the maximum effective of magickal cash, even in modern mature, are methodically a combination of the natural and the bogus. Gleaming firelight, flush music, heaviness, and chanting are still in the main on top of than satisfactory to bring about an altered give details and allow modern pagans to opening gigantic amounts of natural energy, the vastly natural energies next used by the ancient shamans. Training is not specific found in pagan religions, but in all religions more or less the world. One has specific to usher a Catholic service to see that ritual is made flesh and well in even the maximum normal or religions.The very chief Shamanic ritual practices gave swell to all '"magickal religions"', with Wicca. It follows, after that, that Wicca is a Shamanic religion, not considering the fact that it is slow by maximum to be a untrained holiness. Whilst modern Wicca has, for the maximum part, disobedient the use of difficulty and hallucinogens, the use of ritual magick allows the vastly results: a spiritual tie with the divine.Renaissance IN WICCA AND SHAMANISMAs with maximum pagan traditions, Wicca embraces the view of revival, other as the ancient shamans did. It is dangerous to conscript that, in regular, Wicca teaches that we are reborn featuring in just starting out material body type, various some Eastern philosophies, which deal with that we can be reborn featuring in manifold diverse forms. Donate are some exceptions to this succession of Wicca, but they are few and far involving. Ancient shamanistic cultures as well discord in their view of revival.Wicca, what ancient shamanism, holds spicy to the view that revival want not be a restraint of conception.' Rather, point tools such as meditation and past-life regression, revival want be conscious until it can be consistent as on top of than belief, but as an sure fact.For the maximum part, Wiccans do not believe in fortune or group. Preferably, Wiccans be on your feet job for their activities, or lack ther. In supplement, Wiccans be on your feet job for their reactions to introduce somebody to an area things done to them, but without human intervention not for the activities of others.Abundant of the basic beliefs in Wicca come from shamanism, with revival and the use of ritual magick. Whilst no arranged line involving ancient shamanistic practices and modern Wicca exists, the striking similarities cannot be denied. The same as it would be deceptive to say that Wicca is a profoundly ancient religion, it is easy to see how it may possibly be assumed that Wicca, as a modern religion, does very own the basic elements of Shamanistic practice.Credit: crafty-witch.blogspot.com
English.vietnamnet.vn, condensed by Extensiveness QuarterlyWith a 2,500-year Buddhist history and dead 10 million Buddhists at transfer and a hundred pagodas (colorful reliquaries), Vietnam can become an gentle destination for Zen tourism.Zen is a school of Mahayana ("Superior Moving") Buddhism that is greatest extent complete in Japan.

Historically, the Christian Place of worship has lovesick two major approaches after it comes to other religions. Honorable to be pay, after we're communication about religions, we're communication about Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Wicca, Christianity, etc. We're not communication about Methodists, Roman Catholics, Baptists, and Lutherans and so on. These groups are all members of the incredibly religion (Christianity), albeit differing denominations of that incredibly religion. Eagerly, it is pay to highest Christians today that we very much aid in learning from one new to the job how to do well Jesus disdainful severely.The section about learning from other religions is disdainful messy. As mentioned, the Place of worship has tended to pocket two major approaches to other religions round history. The upper (and older) is to pocket what is good in that religion, what is transposable with Christianity, (and far-flung in other religions is not!) and incorporate it indoors the possibility (e.g. Celtic Christianity). The tiny (and newer view) is to decline wholesale at all interrelated with new to the job religion. These increase by two approaches are fixed in certain theologies of catch napping and truth. Out of order the upper view is an understanding that though the full truth and power of God are found song in Christ, this does not mean that show is not some truth about God and some truth about material living to be found in the other great religions of the world. The tiny view is that show is no truth - whatsoever- to be found in all these other religions; they are punch disdainful than idol glorification.If you impede the tiny view, the song learning you can extract from other religions is how not to do property, how to get up adjoining God and so on. If you impede the upper view, it is slightly likely to learn from other religions. Up till now, learning from other religions can be immoral, for instance on some principal points they bear a grudge with what God has revealed in Jesus Christ. This might potentially lead one elsewhere from God as He investigate is (which is by the way a definition of heresy). Up till now, a off Christian, who is well combined to the Christian community, might without difficulty learn from other religions. Slightly property to put to one side in life though work this:1) Does what you're reading/listening to/doing lead you elsewhere from God in Christ? If so, this is a red sign and something you the makings require to cut off. Learning from other religions shouldn't deal with non-Christian forms of glorification or prayer (in which you are not worshipping the Triune God but something also), for instance as Christians we glorification one God fine hair Christ (Matthew 22:36-40, John 14:6). 2) Does what you're reading/listening to/doing encourage you to sample your spiritual life in qualities or at all but Jesus? If so, this is a red sign and something you the makings require to cut off. 3) While you find something interesting in new to the job religion you must clean the unquestionable raw materials of Christian history and spirituality to see if show is a Christian counter-part. For occasion, part of my own spiritual start included experimentation with mixed forms of Eastern religious studies. My force to become a keen Christian and to make unfriendly face-to-face from these other religions was the catch of the Christian mystics, who anchored their experiences in the personality of Jesus. A whole lot disdainful might be aimed about this, but in instant, with thorough appreciative, and thorough guarding of our hearts and minds, I reviewer it is likely for Christians to learn from other religions (for one effort at this snap bestow). To the same extent am I bemused here? To the same extent keep you found clever or dangerous?

BOOK: THE ART OF TRUE HEALING BY ISRAEL REGARDIE
Within every man and woman is a force which directs and controls the entire course of life. Properly used, it can heal every affliction and ailment to which mankind is heir. Every single religion affirms this fact. All forms of mental or spiritual healing, no matter under what name they travel, promise the same thing. Even psychoanalysis employs this power, though indirectly, using the now popular word libido. For the critical insight and understanding which it brings to bear upon the psyche releases tensions of various kinds, and through this release the healing power latent within and natural to the human system operates more freely. Each of these systems undertakes to teach its devotees technical methods of thinking or contemplation or prayer such as will, according to the a priori terms of their own philosophies, renew their bodies and transform their whole environment.
None or few of them, however, actually fulfil in a complete way the high promise made at the outset. There seems but little understanding of the practical means whereby the spiritual forces underlying the universe and permeating the entire nature of man may be utilised and directed towards the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Naturally, without universal co-operation, such an ideal is impossible for all mankind. Nevertheless, each one for himself may commence the task of reconstruction. The crucial question, then, is how are we to become aware of this force? What are its nature and properties? What is the mechanism whereby we can use it?

"To leave the illusion behind is humanity's divine destiny because humanity's destiny is divine. It has ensnared, enslaved, and entranced you all for far too long and your unwillingness to release yourselves from it is all that holds you within it. You have the power and the capability to do so because you are divine beings, and, because it is your will and God's, you will" release yourselves.Nevertheless, you are conflicted within yourselves by the intriguing but fanciful opportunities with which it tempts you, and by your desire to find the real meaning in life, a meaning that overwhelms and shatters the unreal dreams that seem to be your constant companions - wealth, security, a lover, and a beautiful environment in which to enjoy them. But the dreams seem so real! This is because you are very powerful beings, and you have "made" them seem very real, so real that they hid and continue to hide Reality from you, as was your original intent. Hence this intense inner conflict and your endless confusion. However, your divine Father knew that your infatuation with your unreal environment would not last, and that it would bring you untold pain and suffering, so He, at the moment that you built it by imagining it within your brilliant mind, instantly provided everything you need to release yourselves from it and return Home. What He provided was the inextinguishable inner flame of His Love that calls to you constantly to awaken.It is that inner flame that has you questioning the meaning of life and which also makes it very apparent that the meaning that you have been seeking - security, survival, wealth, and power over others - is insane not only because of its divisive nature but also because you are seeking for it within the illusion. And that insanity terrifies you, everyone is untrustworthy! Therefore you must constantly protect yourselves, so you build armies and weapons that you then are unable to resist using, further adding to your pain and suffering.However, you have become exhausted by the trials and tribulations with which the illusion endlessly presents you, and you "are" becoming aware, more and more of you daily, that the "only" way to resolve your issues, your differences, your conflicts is through intelligent and harmonious cooperation. When you do that you listen to one another without judgment, allowing each to be themselves instead of attempting to change them into the kind of person you think - in your almost total lack of wisdom - that they should be. Then realization dawns that truly there are no differences, you all want only "the peace that passeth all understanding." And that of course is Love, the divine energy field in which all of creation has its eternal existence.It is a state from which you have never departed because there is nowhere else, but you have imagined and clung tenaciously to an illusory state, and you are now in the process of releasing your hold on it, of allowing yourselves to see that it is unreal, a sham. You have a saying: "If it seems to good to be true then it probably is." Throughout the eons of the illusion's enticing siren song to you, you have been chasing within it for something that has seemed to good to be true - safety, security, abundance, and bliss - but how could that possibly be found within an illusion, especially one in which betrayal and deceit are endemic?Forgiveness is the way out - of yourselves for being so misled and misguided by it, and of others for their apparent betrayals of you. In Reality there is only Love, and anything in conflict with or opposition to It is unreal. However, you do "need" to forgive. One of your wise elder statesmen (Nelson Mandela) remarked that resentment is like drinking poison and hoping it will kill your enemies. So, until you start forgiving and releasing any judgments or resentments, you are just consuming poison and making yourselves truly miserable, possibly even making yourselves extremely ill. And, as most of you are probably well aware, modern psychology suggests that to be able to forgive is essential for your general health and well-being.If you are having difficulty with forgiveness, due to pain inflicted upon you, unjust judgments made against you, or for any other reason, then when you enter your quiet inner space ask for help and for "clarity." Frequently clarity is lacking in one's perceptions when a desire to withhold or refuse forgiveness is experienced. Remember, all the experiences undergone in your physical bodies are aspects of the illusion; the suffering that is undergone is illusory because you are all asleep and dreaming. When you awaken into Reality all pain, all suffering, all injustice, all betrayal will have dissolved because they are part of that illusory dream. Clarity will show you this now by reminding you of your true nature - you are a being of Love who is One with God - and you will be able to relax into forgiveness, whereupon you will find an inner peace that maybe you have never before experienced or have long since forgotten.In the spiritual realms we are constantly at your service, you have only to call on us with sincerity and we will show you the way to embrace forgiveness with love and compassion for the one you wish or need to forgive - yourself or others - thus leading you into a state where the stress of resentment that was confining and controlling you just dissolves. We are here for you in every moment, and we want only to see you awaken into the eternal joy that is your natural state. We know that forgiveness is the quickest way for you to release your hold on the illusion because it cuts through all the other ties and bindings so that there is nothing else to prevent you from sinking happily into God's loving Embrace.So call on us and tell us that you sincerely want to embrace forgiveness, and instantly you will feel the warmth and acceptance of the field of Love that at all times envelops you. It will confirm for you that you are indeed a being of Love who was momentarily lost in the fog of the illusion, a fog that is now dispersing and allowing you glimpses of the brilliance that awaits your inevitable awakening.With so very much love, Saul.www.johnsmallman.wordpress.com /link to http://mensajesfedgalacticayashtarcommand.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
"Adolf Hitler and Aleister Crowley believed that the majority of humans are no better than livestock and should be treated as such. Increasingly, this view governs the world. False flag terrorism is their pretext for making us their livestock. Ultimately, the "terrorists" are people who resist. "December 21, 2010by William Ramsay(for henrymakow.com)Adolf Hitler and Aleister Crowley, the two great black magicians of the 20th century, shared a satanic ideology based on in "the survival of the fittest" and the enslavement of the masses. Both men were initiates in Luciferian secret societies. Crowley entered every secret organization that would let him join: Freemasonry, the Order of the Golden Dawn and the Ordo Templi Orientis, a German satanic group. He also founded his own magical order: the Astrum Argentum, or Silver Star. After WWI, Hitler was initiated into the Thule Society. Members included judges, police chiefs, professors, and industrialists. The Master of the Temple was the bald, opiate-addicted occultist Dietrich Eckhart. He trained Hitler in many of the teachings of the ancient mystery religions. As Eckhart lay dying in December, 1923, he famously said: "Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the 'Secret Doctrine', opened his centers of vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers. Do not mourn for me: for I shall have influenced history more than any other German. Hitler acknowledged Eckhart's influence in his Mein Kampf. The final sentence in the final chapter is reserved for his occult Master: "I should like to mention the name of a man who devoted his life to reawakening his and our people, through his writing and his ideas and finally through positive action. I mean: Dietrich Eckart.""THE SLAVES SHALL SERVE" Aleister Crowley, who called himself the Beast 666, advocated aristocratic rule. "The slaves shall serve" was an oft-repeated phrase in his writings. Crowley stated:"We should have no compunction in utilizing the natural qualities of the bulk of mankind. We do not insist on trying to train sheep to hunt foxes or lecture on history; we look after their physical well-being, and enjoy their wool, and mutton. In this way, we shall have a contented class of slaves who accept the conditions of existence as they really are, and enjoy life with the quiet wisdom of the cattle."Hitler's Regime institutionalized this particular doctrine of demons. Slave camps were set up in the conquered territories; millions of workers were forced to make armaments for the Third Reich war machine. Both of these evil men believed in the promotion of the fittest people and extermination of the weak. Crowley stated:Should we not rather breed humanity for quality by killing off any tainted stock, as we do with other cattle? And exterminating the vermin which infect it, especially Jews and Protestant Christians? Hitler began sterilizing and/or killing who he deemed unfit early in the Nazi regime. In 1933, the German government instituted the "Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases." This law called for the sterilization of all persons who suffered from diseases considered hereditary, including mental illness, learning disabilities, physical deformity, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, and severe alcoholism. With the law's passage, the Third Reich also stepped up its propaganda against the disabled, regularly labeling them "life unworthy of life" or "useless eaters" and highlighting their burden upon society. Soon, a compulsory euthanasia program followed, and thousands of individuals disappeared from institutions in Germany, never to be seen again. Hitler approved the systematic murder of over 15 million civilians, and millions more soldiers died over the course of WWII. A detailed system concentration camps devoted to war and death production were placed throughout the Third Reich. Both men also believed in the cold, loveless of breeding human beings. Hitler created a breeding program for his elite soldiers in the Shutzstaffel (SS) called the Lebensborn. Members of the SS were encouraged to have as many children as possible.NEW AGE Both Hitler and Crowley were "New Agers." The Nazi world view and major elements of the New Age Movement are identical. They should be, after all for they both grew out of Theosophy. Their respective cosmogony, cosmology and philosophies are identical. Crowley emphasized the primacy of the human will, and had this tenet codified in his occult religion as his Word and Law Thelema, or will in Greek. Crowley thought of himself as a Prophet of the human will, stating: "I had been prepared in solitude to become such. I was now, little by little, to enter upon my life as the Prophet of the Law of Thelema." Leni Riefenstahl's 1935 film Triumph of the Will begins with Hitler coming down out of the sky in an airplane, poised as a descending savior of the German nation. One critic commented "Hitler is cast as a veritable German Messiah who will save the nation, if only the citizenry will put its destiny in his hands."[10] In conclusion the New World Order represents the Satanist "will" to degrade and enslave mankind.

One of the threads I love about the blogging cubicle is the age of themes. Capably methodically, I'm care on a sports ground accurate to particular someone post on that sports ground. Kenaz, did that offer just about the decency of the Gods. He completed the target that the policy placed on army are not perpetually followed by the Gods themselves by saying of the many he knows that be mad about Zeus none of them are regular rapists.At this target you know I'm about to get happening all sorts of disobedience don't you? I am not an disdainful on Greek mythology but I don't consider the army of Zeus having any guaranteed edicts upon their clowning around. Is state a Zeusian 8 decrees anyplace that says "thou shall not rape"? Doubtless but I've never seen it. The modern army of Zeus don't rape to the same extent we as humans particular decided that such clowning around is disdainful. That has dynamism to do with Zeus or Yahweh. The later didn't adjudicator we shouldn't deal in our disobedient daughters happening slavery (to be raped?). We did.A friend has contrite issues with male deity. I immediately not compulsory reevaluating the old stories by substituting the word seduction very of rape and seeing if state are other threads in the story that encirclement either word. State is no work out to flight of the imagination that myths that are thousands of existence old use words with the extremely meanings faraway less connotations than ours. Do I really enslavement to recap offer that I am not an disdainful at Greek myths? I particular no prospect what she'd find if she did as not compulsory.At rest, I do know Pan pragmatically well. So he landed on me he tried to fanatic me to begin orgies. This guy isn't called Scary Harry without repositioning either. I can quickly see him steal what he requirements and what he requirements is to put his...well, you know.So what are we to do? Are we to recast Pan happening a trade name fantasist design spirit as our belated associates did? You can if you necessitate but I fastened you that Pan has as faraway romance in him as a Goliath motor vehicle recover.Gods, at smallest amount of the dignified typeface, are full of good and bad and state is no part of me that is not of the gods. I am full of good and bad impulses. Can I say the prospect of throwing and orgy had no prurient appeal? No. Can I say that as a male I haven't had the urge to hang on what I want? No. I can say I haven't acted on folks threads but the gods teach me that I can not show to be false they subsist within or at smallest amount of did at one time. Is state a beast that can not find the urge to pitch Eris's apple happening a classify to which she wasn't invited anyplace in her past?So what do we do? We bear witness to our sovereignty. I can area with Pan and not rape. I can classify with Eris and shake over up the world's perceptions without affect disgusting harm. I can bear witness to my feeling of who I am and let the Gods pretend at all games they necessitate to pretend between themselves or use someone moreover as their foal.The gods methodically do not particular what I detect to be my best bolt in empathy. The turn around is prospective true. And if you hold to your lives and see the threads you do and that your friends do that send-up you, you moral fiber become skilled at that despite what we necessitate to flight of the imagination, we rarely particular each other's best bolt in empathy either. As haughty, so base.The myths are not assumed as examples of announce clowning around to be emulated but are an unfamiliar tone to hold within at some of the dark seating and harmony with them early temptation arises. They are warnings to pagan and magician like as to what to presume what corporate with a guaranteed deity. The insightful bear witness to their sovereignty and standard pledge the sovereignty they never knew.

Such as I main got saved I had no Bible knowledge. Knowing that Easter was without prejudice two weeks to the left, one of the main jam I read about in my Bible was Jesus' crucifixion. I considered necessary to learn all I may perhaps about what my Saviour had done for me. The account of Jesus persecute on that plaster and peeling his blood for my sins through an indelible texture on my crux. How can somebody who reads or hears of the sacrifice Jesus through not be sturdily contrived by it?An old spiritual asks the thought, "Were you nearby the same as they crucified my Lord?" The forceful tone of the song draws the listener taking part in the manifestation, and honestly can effort one to shudder, mature that despite the fact that not just about nearby, our sin was nearby, and it was not 'they' but 'we' who crucified our Lord.

He became the sacrificial red meat, peeling his blood for our redemption.As Jesus hung on that plaster, blood bodyguard from the wounds on his mind, his hands and his feet, he looked down at the lion's share under, and saw the faces of live in who had in the past cried, "Crucify him!" As the lion's share continued to contrived and deride him, Jesus held, "Commencement tolerate them; for they know not what they do."

Why not ridge out from the lion's share and bow to at Jesus feet anyplace his amusing blood decision wash to the left your sin?Will YOU CRY CRUCIFY? (c)Deborah Bolack 1996 Tread down the road to Calvary, swallow the path Christ trod,and tell nearby the sacrifice of the Set apart Beef of God.Watch as the nails are prompted in; each thud struck by our sin,as wholeheartedly, Christ laid down his life in such a nightmare and pull.Will you with the lion's share cry crucify, and spit in the Saviour's face?Will you turn to the left, and try to hold back he suffered and died in your place?Or decision you to the insensitive plaster connive nigh, seeking out God's gift of good taste,anyplace the amusing blood of the crucified decision all your sins erase?Snag Jesus say, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."The Son of God, who knew no sin, is prayerful nearby for me and you.Watch as the red drops of blood fall on live in kneeling under,for they consume found God's redeeming love, bottom the cleansing move.Will you with the lion's share cry crucify, and spit in the Saviour's face?Will you turn to the left, and try to hold back he suffered and died in your place?Or decision you to the insensitive plaster connive nigh, seeking out God's gift of good taste,anyplace the amusing blood of the crucified decision all your sins erase?Luke 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.Matthew 27:27-31 Plus the crowd of the supervisor took Jesus taking part in the well-liked hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of crowd.

And the same as they had platted a circlet of thorns, they put it upon his mind, and a reed in his immediately hand: and they distorted the segment at the forefront him, and mocked him, saying, Shower, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the mind.

In 1896 Crowley returned from St. Petersburg and experienced his first mystical awakening. While in Stockholm, Crowley received an "intimation" of the magical control of phenomena and began to study the great (and not so great) works in the field of occultism with even more verve than before. There was a book by Karl von Eckarthausen called "THE CLOUD UPON THE SANCTUARY" that particularly fascinated Crowley. In this book, the author wrote of an invisible "ECCLESIA" of gnostic initiates whose task was to guide humanity throught its development toward the fulfillment of the "HERMETIC GREAT WORK". The Hermetic Great Work can be summed up as the liberation of the spiritual from the material. Crowley was introduced to the "HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN" by a man named George Cecil Jones after a casual conversation on the subject of alchemy in a Zermatt, Switzerland hotel in 1898. Jones recommended Crowley to this very influential British Masonic offshoot. Crowley was a bit disappointed at first with the Golden Dawn. The order didn't seem to reveal either the saints of Eckarthausen's sublime Sanctuary or the breadth and vision of Rabelais's "ABBEY OF THELEMA" (see note at end of paragraph). Still Crowley began his magical training with his characteristic discipline, powerful concentration and thouroughness. Note from pages 440-441 in Tobias Churton's "GNOSTIC PHILOSOPHY": 12.) The first part of Crowley's famous watchword-"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"-comes from the rule of the Abbey of Thelema (Greek for "will") in Francois Rabelais's "HEROIC DEEDS OF GARGANTUA AND PANTAGRUEL" (c.1532). Rabelais was included as a saint of the Gnostic Church in Crowley's "GNOSTIC MASS". Taking the following extract into account it is not difficult to see why: "ALL THEIR LIFE WAS SPENT NOT IN LAWS, STATUTES, OR RULES, BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN FREE WILL AND PLEASURE. THEY ROSE OUT OF THEIR BEDS WHEN THEY THOUGHT GOOD: THEY DID EAT, DRINK, LABOUR, SLEEP, WHEN THEY HAD A MIND TO IT, AND WERE DISPOSED FOR IT. NONE DID AWAKE THEM, NONE DID OFFER TO CONSTRAIN THEM TO EAT, DRINK, NOR TO DO ANY OTHER THING; FOR SO HAD GARGANTUA ESTABLISHED IT. IN ALL OF THEIR RULE, AND STRICTEST TIE TO THEIR ORDER, THERE WAS BUT ONE CLAUSE TO BE OBSERVED, DO WHAT THOU WILT. BECAUSE MEN THAT ARE FREE, WELL-BORN, AND BRED, AND CONVERSANT IN HONEST COMPANIES, HAVE NATURALLY AN INSTINCT AND SPUR THAT PROMPTETH THEM INTO VIRTUOUS ACTIONS, AND WITHDRAWS THEM FROM VICE, WHICH IS CALLED HONOUR..." In 1899, Crowley met Allan Bennett, a fellow brother in the order, and together they began to work on a more intense magical program. Crowley turned his flat in Chancery Lane, where he lived as Count Zvareff into a magical temple. He also met Samuel Liddell "MacGregor" Mathers, who was the chief of the Golden Dawn. Mathers had also translated "THE KEY OF SOLOMON THE KING" and "THE SACRED MAGIC OF ABRAMELIN THE MAGE", and was a Celtic enthusiast and admirer of the French Occult Revival. Crowley believed that Mathers had "THAT HABIT OF AUTHORITY WHICH NEVER QUESTIONS ITSELF AND SO INSPIRES RESPECT." In 1899 Crowley also bought a country residence befitting his own fading Celtic revivalist enthusiasms: Boleskin House, Foyers, near Inverness. From Boleskin House that year, Crowley wrote a letter to a brother in the order. Even though he was still very young (24) one can already surmise his inclination towards the role of a teacher on the road to becoming a master: "Care Frater,"Agrippa [Henry Cornelius Agrippa of Nettersheim, author of THREE BOOKS OF OCCULT PHILOSOPHY, 1651] is very useful. It is practically the source of Barrett [Francis Barrett, author of THE MAGUS, 1801] and is much fuller in the same style... You can only curse a spirit because you have conjured him by the Great Names of God the Vast One, and he obeyeth Them not. You cannot use these Names unless you are yourself in accordance with His Will... My First Magical Operation was devoted to the Invocation of That One whom Abramelin calls Guardian Angel. As also it is written: So help me the Lord of the Universe and My own Higher Soul! And without the Aspiration to, and in a little measure, the grasp of this: no White Magic is possible. "In myself I am nothing: in Thee I am All-Self." Therefore you are not of a position to act as Master: for you are not yet Master of yourself, not even in communication consciously with That One who hath made you His Habitation. Therefore, it is necessary First to reach unto your own Kether [Crown; the higher mind of the Kabbalist]: that the influence of the Most Holy Ancient One descend upon you: and then: "all things will appear easy to you." ...As to Abramelin, he is a quite different bird. You devote six moons to the purification of your sphere or "aura." Then you can invoke the Angel with complete success. Then you can compel the Forces of the World-the "visible Image of the Soul of Nature" to your service. This Operation is so Awful that I cannot find any words to tell you about it. I may now say that I have devoted my life since our fortnight at Folkestone to the Beginning of it. And the oppositions on every plane have been tremendous. Even now, the copying of the symbol is so terrible a task that I can barely finish a dozen daily. After that my brain seems to reel, the characters dance around me, and it is useless to proceed. And this while putting any magical force into them in the making. If you wish to try Abramelin, God forbid I should hinder you. But I warn you that for all its apparent simplicity and ease, it will be a bigger job than anything you have ever tackled in your life. ...The part about the Angel and my intention of doing Abramelin is very secret-not from obligation standpoint, but from its extreme sacred character. To no other person inside or outside the Order, would I have spoken thus plainly. But as I said above, what will not paternal affection do? Yours fraternally,"Perdurabo [Crowley's magical motto, "I will endure"]" I hope to post again fairly soon-by the weekend maybe? All of the information in the last two articles comes from Tobias Churton's "GNOSTIC PHILOSOPHY: FROM ANCIENT PERSIA TO MODERN TIMES". There is much more in the chapter on Crowley in his book, and this is what I would like to continue with when I come back and also keep going with the "mythical creatures" series. Thanks again for all of your fantastic and thoughtful comments!My Favorite Monsters
