Ghosts and the spirit world has always fascinated us all. It has formed our attitudes about how we deal with life and death, honor our deceased loved ones as well as preparing for the afterlife. There are spirits all around us to see as long we open our hearts and minds to them. They lie in wait to pass on messages to us to help and guide us through our everyday life experiences. All we need to do is be aware so that we are able to see the signs. Allow the ghosts and spirits to speak with you through me. Connect with the spirit and find the help and answers that your soul seeks. I offer several types of spreads and have been doing readings sucessfully for several years. Allow my gift to help you. The spread that I am offering here is a 9 card spread called the Mandala spread. In its purest form the Mandala spread assesses ones spiritual path. It can be adapted to address specific issues, and questions, or an open reading with no overall question can be posed. This spread reveals the strengths, weaknesses and desires which lead one toward a growth in spirituality, indicating pitfalls and positive points in a way that it is possible for the querent to put together a much more clear view of their own progress. It focuses on an overview of the self, ambitions/goals, ideals/dreams, real achievements at this time, dependencies/faulty beliefs, strengths and positive traits, faults/weaknesses, self perception and desires. I will send your reading to you through e-mail so send your name, date of birth as well as the e-mail address that you would like the reading to be sent to. I will get it to you as quickly as I can. Many blessings. -Mary

COMPENDIUM OF THE CCC EXPLAINED PRODUCE CCC
1. The same as IS THE Organize OF GOD FOR MAN?
(COMP 1) God, immensely exemplar and blessed in himself, in a need of utter goodness freely produced man to make him plight in his own blessed life. In the opulence of time, God the Leave sent his Son as the Knight in shining armor and Knight in shining armor of mankind, fallen arrived sin, so aptitude all arrived his Church and, nap the work of the Blessed Flexibility, making them adopted children and heirs of his eternal fun.
"IN BRIEF"
(CCC 68) By love, God has revealed himself and truth himself to man. He has so provided the final, superabundant expression to the questions that man asks himself about the meaning and scheme of his life.
TO MAKE STRONGER AND FORM
(CCC 1) God, immensely exemplar and blessed in himself, in a need of utter goodness freely produced man to make him plight in his own blessed life. For this excuse, at every time and in every place, God draws unventilated to man. He calls man to request him, to know him, to love him with all his opulence. He calls together all men, strewn and split by sin, arrived the unity of his detached house, the Church. To receive this, previously the opulence of time had come, God sent his Son as Knight in shining armor and Saviour. In his Son and nap him, he invites men to become, in the Blessed Flexibility, his adopted children and so heirs of his blessed life. (CCC 2) So that this call together prerequisite ring from beginning to end the world, Christ sent forth the apostles he had choose by ballot, commissioning them to pronounce the gospel: "GO FOR THAT REASON AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE LEAVE AND OF THE SON AND OF THE BLESSED FLEXIBILITY, TEACHING THEM TO RELATE TO ALL THAT I STICK COMMANDED YOU; AND LO, I AM WITH YOU FOREVER, TO THE UNVENTILATED OF THE AGE." (MT 28:19-20) Strengthened by this career, the apostles "WENT FORTH AND PREACHED WHEREVER, MOMENT THE LADY WORKED WITH THEM AND CONFIDENT THE MAXIM BY THE SIGNS THAT ATTENDED IT." (MK 16:20).
ON ILLUSTRATION
(CCC 3) Those who with God's help stick welcomed Christ's call together and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to pronounce the Pungent Word wherever in the world. This ill-gotten gains, expected from the apostles, has been sternly vigilant by their successors. All Christ's proper are called to hand it on from period to period, by professing the praise, by living it in fraternal divide, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer (ACTS 2:42).

Catholicism by its very nature is evangelical, but the term has become more closely associated with our non-Catholic brethren. Here is a message from a Father Newman who serves in the "Buckle" of the Bible-Belt, Greenville, NC. Father Newman talks about the necessity of a clear knowledge of the gospel and clear intent to live the Christian life. He says that receiving the sacraments without gospel faith is "superstition" which is one of the most common accusations leveled towards Catholics.
Here is the message from a Father Newman who serves in the "Buckle" of the Bible-Belt, Greenville, NC. Thanks to Chad for this.
From his website:
The Principles of Evangelical Catholicism
1. The Lord Jesus Christ is the crucified and risen Savior of all mankind, and no human person can fully understand his life or find his dignity and destiny apart from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. It is not enough to know who Jesus is; we must know Jesus.
2. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is divine revelation, not human wisdom, and the Gospel is given to us in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition which together constitute a single divine deposit of faith transmitted authentically and authoritatively by the Bishops in full communion with the Bishop of Rome. We must surrender our private judgments in all matters of faith and morals to the sacred teaching authority of the Church's Magisterium if we are to receive the whole Gospel.
3. The seven Sacraments of the New Covenant are divinely instituted instruments of grace given to the Church as the ordinary means of sanctification for believers. Receiving the Sacraments regularly and worthily is essential to the life of grace, and for this reason, faithful attendance at Sunday Mass every week (serious illness and necessary work aside) and regular Confession of sins are absolutely required for a life of authentic discipleship.
4. Through Word and Sacrament we are drawn by grace into a transforming union with the Lord Jesus, and having been justified by faith we are called to sanctification and equipped by the Holy Spirit for the good works of the new creation. We must, therefore, learn to live as faithful disciples and to reject whatever is contrary to the Gospel, which is the Good News of the Father's mercy and love revealed in the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
5. The sacred liturgy, through which the seven Sacraments are celebrated and the Hours of praise are prayed, makes present to us the saving mysteries of the Lord Jesus. The liturgy must therefore be celebrated in such a way that the truth of the Gospel, the beauty of sacred music, the dignity of ritual form, the solemnity of divine worship, and the fellowship of the baptized assembled to pray are kept together in organic unity.
6. Receiving the Sacraments without receiving the Gospel leads to superstition rather than living faith, and the Church must therefore take great care to ensure that those who receive the Sacraments also receive the Gospel in its integrity and entirety. Consequently, before Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, and Marriage are administered, there must be in those who request these Sacrament clear evidence of knowledge of the Gospel and a serious intention to live the Christian life.
7. Being a follower of Christ requires moving from being a Church member by convention to a Christian disciple by conviction. This transformation demands that we consciously accept the Gospel as the measure of our entire lives, rather than attempting to measure the Gospel by our experience. Personal knowledge of and devotion to Sacred Scripture is necessary for this transformation to occur through the obedience of faith, and there is no substitute for personal knowledge of the Bible. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. 8. All the baptized are sent in the Great Commission to be witnesses of Christ to others and must be equipped by the Church to teach the Gospel in word and deed. An essential dimension of true discipleship is the willingness to invite others to follow the Lord Jesus and the readiness to explain His Gospel.

J.C. Philpot, in a sermon we have been excerpting in Herescope for the past several days entitled "Trying the Spirits" circa 1844, concludes with a warning about books.
Books?! How harmless books must have been in 1844 compared to the open heresies of our postmodern era! Yet, he implores believers to guard themselves, to "try the spirits" of every religious book that they are tempted to put into their hands. Here is what he says:
...Now we are to "try the spirits." We are not to submit implicitly to what every man who stands up in a pulpit may choose to say. We are not to receive, as written by the Spirit, every BOOK put into our hands that is called a religious work. We are not to believe every WORD that is spoke by persons professing a sound creed. We are commanded, God the Spirit calls upon us, to "try the spirits" by our own experience, and by the doctrine, experience, and precept recorded in the book of God. Now, do so, my friends. I would charge it upon your conscience. Do see what impression the things connected with religion have upon your minds. Look at the religious BOOKS you read: see what impressions they leave upon your heart. Look at the persons professing godliness that you associate with; see what effects attend their conversation. Above all, look at the ministers you hear; and see what impressions they leave by their ministry on your conscience....
...Thus, as far as the Spirit of God is your teacher, you are called upon to "try the spirits whether they are of God." And thus, a child of God will have, more or less, perpetual cause for inward trial. Sometimes he will be trying his own heart, to see how God is dealing with him: and it will be his happiness if he can find some sweet testimony that the Lord is dealing with him in mercy. Sometimes he will TRY THE BOOKS that come before him, (for, THE EAR TRIETH WORDS, AS THE MOUTH TASTETH MEAT," JOB XXXIV. 3): and he will cast aside every BOOK, however sound in doctrine, that does not communicate grace to his soul. Those works, written by gracious men, which have power and feeling, such as Hart's Hymns, Bunyan's Grace Abounding and Pilgrim, and Huntington's Works, will be his chiefly prized books, that his soul, under the Spirit's teaching, may be imbued with some of the rain and dew that fell upon those blessed men.... [emphases added]
Sadly, it is a fact of our Christian life that we cannot trust others to guard us from bad books. Christian bookselling has become a huge industry and it has become apparent that profit are the ugly new reality. There is therefore no guarantee that when you walk into a Christian bookstore that you won't find terribly heretical books. And there is no guarantee that books -- even by esteemed and lauded Christian leaders -- won't be filled to the brim with leaven, corrupt doctrine or biblical errors.
As Philpot's sermon so carefully explains, individual believers have a Scriptural responsibility to "try the spirits, whether they are of God" (I John 4:1).
The other day Christian Research Service issued a statement summarizing the past few years of its efforts to see if any components of the Christian bookselling industry would be willing to clean themselves up. The response has been overwhelmingly negative:
Now online at Christian Research Service:
"SPECIAL REPORT": Non-Christian Authors, Books Continue to Haunt the Christian Bookstore Industry
"The time has come when the entire Christian bookstore industry must take a serious look at who and what they are advertising and promoting, then do something about it--not six months from now or next year--but immediately."
"THEREFORE, TO ONE WHO KNOWS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND DOES NOT DO IT, TO HIM IT IS SIN" (James 4:17).
Online at: http://www.christianresearchservice.com/bookstores5.htm
It, therefore, behooves every believer to take the exhortations of Philpot to heart, and apply these Scriptures to their individual lives. And to make every attempt to warn other believers as God enables them. The shepherds have left the gates wide open for ravening wolves to come in. May God have mercy!
Another old classic, "Separated Unto God" by J.C. Wenger (available at 800-776-0478) concludes this matter:
"MAINTAINING THE TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD
"Christians of today are also living in an age of heresies. There are those who deny the deity of the Lord Jesus, who reject His unique Saviourhood, who cast away the infallibility of His Word, who deny that man was created in the image of God by a special creative act, who deny that man has an immortal soul, who reject the reality of eternal punishment in hell, who refuse to believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit, who deny the need and possibility of divine regeneration, who believe that children need little or no discipline, who refuse to believe that Jesus is coming again, who deny categorically that one can have in this world absolute religious truth. In contrast with this spirit of unbelief the Christian who is separated unto God rejoices in the revelation which God has given to us in His Word and brings 'every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.' [2 Cor. 10:5] The unbelief of many modern men is awful, but this unbelief furnishes a dark background for the light of simple Christian faith to shine in today.
"There are those who say foolishly that the truth of God's Word needs no defense. It is true that God's Word will always remain absolutely reliable, even if all men be found to be unbelievers. Defending the truth of God's Word does not mean keeping it from being annihilated, but it does mean saving men from untrue and foolish unbelief. Just as the apologists of the ancient church played a large part in the triumph of Christianity over paganism, so today God is raising up men of faith who are able to set forth clearly the grounds of theistic and Christian belief against the modernism, humanism, and secularism of our time. May God bless their effort to the salvation of many souls and to the glory of His name, and may He deliver His elect from the heresies and the unbelief of our culture." (pp. 286-287)

We are pleased to resonance that shut in week we signed up the 40-thousandth scholar of the Teacher. It has been a hunger track that started in hurried 1969. In burning that proper new slog we ready repeated decisions. The critical one, that seems to delimit stymied repeated students, is that we were not in the instant-gratification institution. To faultless the course in Supporting Witchcraft requires persistence and the use of the the good old U.S. Postal Service--what has come to be called snail-mail. We inconvenience hunger and insecure about leave-taking electronic and decided adjacent to it. The agreement of greatest of the course's lectures hunted the reading of secluded books and we felt that a leisurely and poised succession was greater than before so that make your home somewhere could request a addition fastidious understanding of Wicca. The background in the basic course are appreciably opposing from (A) the Christian matrix in which greatest westerners delimit been brought up and from (B) the gossamer-wings doctrine and the depleted balls of fire that the rebellious community I assume customary from us.
This month the Teacher chartered its 17th church: Guru Moon Cathedral of Wicca practical Jacksonville, Florida.
Over the campaign of the Cathedral was quickly contrasted with that of repeated organizations in the Collective farm. We did not wish to build a pyramid of churches writing to a notable authority; that's been done. So all charters issued by the Cathedral of Wicca rostrum an crystal-clear expiration make sure that permissible them time to get their own separate charters and federal repute.
As the reputation of Wicca has developed, and the divide of information on the internet and in books has logarithmically bigger, so the feature of enrollments in the Teacher has decreased; and with the plunge the feature of staff has also diminished. Then nowadays we are back close at hand at the beginning with Gavin and Yvonne make use of greatest of the mail, printing, and the rest. Following the many of courses now obliging behind the Teacher, this is a winding errand. We are pleased to make out that the mail still flows behind rapidly; but exclusive kit, such as the website, are in claim of updating. We compensate for that. We momentum get to it at the end of the day. Meantime, delimit no wariness that the Teacher momentum lead plateful people who need an in-depth study of Wicca as a religion and as a spiritual path.

Hello Ibrahim
Lots of interesting points being made here (especially in your comments on last three posts) - I won't try to address them all.
Seems to me one of the biggest issues you raise concerns the use of reason. Here's a popular argument for general scepticism:
Why suppose reason is a reliable route to the truth? Any justification of reason we offer will itself rely on reason, and so be unacceptably circular. So, that reason is a reliable route to truth cannot be justified. But if reliance on reason cannot be justified, then, because every justification relies on reason, nothing can be justified.
So, all beliefs are equally irrational!
Moreoever, if, to qualify as knowledge, a belief must be justified, knowledge is impossible too.
Suppose I am involved in a debate - and I'm struggling to make my case. In fact, my opponent seems to have shown I'm wrong. Oh dear. What do I do?
I might be tempted to make just this sceptical move. It offers a wonderful "get out of jail" card. I give the sceptical argument outlined above and conclude: "So you see? - both our positions are, in the last analysis, equally (ir)rational!"
Once I play the sceptical card, all my opponent's hard work in constructing arguments against my position counts for nothing. At one stroke, they are all demolished.
I can now walk away with my head held high, having "established" that my position is no less reasonable than my opponent's!
Now Ibrahim, when people criticise Islam, and also your approach to religious education, you do, it seems to me, sometimes play this sort of sceptical card.
That's OK. But bare in mind that in such discussions, playing the sceptical card really is "the nuclear option". You avoid defeat, yes, but only by utterly annihilating the rationality of every position. All positions, no matter how sensible or nuts, come out as equally (ir)rational!
You must now say: "Hey, that the Earth is flat, that the earth is round, that milk makes people fly, that it doesn't, that astrology is true, that is isn't, that Mohammed is God's prophet, that he isn't - all these beliefs are equally (un)reasonable!
Now, is that what you really want to say? I guess not, but I am not sure.
In fact, once you take the nuclear option, you have to give up supposing reason is any sort of route to truth. You can't take the nuclear option, but then, when you think maybe you can muster a cogent argument for not allowing children to think critically about religion, slip that argument back into the fray.
But that seems to be exactly what you have just done, in fact (you just suggested if you don't fill kids heads with Islam, they'll get filled with something far more pernicious - that's an argument).
When I offer arguments against encouraging mindless, uncritical acceptance of Islam, you go nuclear. But then, five minutes later, I find you offering an argument in support of your own position. There's a lack of consistency here, surely? You're not playing fair!
Indeed, the fact that you do continue to use reason wherever you think it supports your case - and also in everyday life, when you rely on it almost every minute (indeed, you constantly trust your life to it) - shows that playing the sceptical card is, in truth, merely a rhetorical ploy. You don't really believe what you're saying about reason. You are saying it just to raise enough dust and confusion to make quick your escape. Or so it seems to me!
The point of my astrology example needs spelling out. I have two questions:
(i) Given Ted's attitude to his book, does that show that the truth of astrology cannot be rationally settled? If your answer is "no", why does the fact that you take a similar attitude to the Koran show that the truth about the Koran cannot be rationally settled? But perhaps your answer is "yes"?
(ii) Is Ted's attitude to his book foolish? If you say that Ted is a fool, then the question is, why aren't those who take a similar attitude to the Koran similarly foolish? If you deny Ted is a fool, well, don't you make yourself look foolish?
I'm particularly keen to get answers to these two questions, Ibrahim, if you've got the time.

Yesterday I had to suffer one of the worst pieces of liturgical terrorism that I have had the misfortune to witness. It was the final Mass of the meeting of Delegates for the International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec. Rather than describe the scene in detail let me give it to you in bullet points:
* The Mass was celebrated in the room where we had, a few hours previously, had a buffet. The tables which were used as serving tables during the buffet were made into a long table down the centre of the room (making it look like it was prepared for another buffet). Chairs were arranged looking in on either side.
* Lay people were encouraged to sit where they liked - except for some of the front seat which were reserved for bishops. Priests were supposed to sit mingled with the people (in actual fact the herd mentality took over and we all sat together at one end).
* In the 'entrance procession', some women (I think they were religious though had nothing visible to show the fact) brought flowers and candles which they placed at strategic places along the long table.
* At the Offertory, these same women brought chalices and patens on serving trays and placed them upon the table at strategic places, and they themselves poured wine (no water) into the chalices. These were not placed on corporals at all.
* After the Eucharistic Prayer these same women approached the table beckoning (in an evidently pre-thought out manner) the bishops towards the table to partake of the Eucharist (ugh).
* The priests were given Holy Communion as though they were lay people.
Some liturgical terrorists had obviously taken over the planning for this Mass. All I can say is Cranmer would have been proud. What struck me most was the inconsistency of having spoken about the sacrifice of the Mass and adoration during his rather pedestrian talk earlier, Cardinal Marc Ouellet then celebrated this Mass without batting an eyelid at the way in which it had been arranged.
The agenda of the liturgorists was evident. They wanted everyone to sit side by side - priests and people - because they have no faith in the sacred nature of the priesthood, and in the difference of nature and not just of grade of the ordained priesthood from the baptismal priesthood. The way they pushed these women forward to do the deacons role, and to 'facilitate' the bishops' celebration of the Eucharist (as if they'd never been to a Mass before) was saying that they believed that women should be ordained to the priesthood.
This was, of course, done under the nose of Cardinal Josef Tomko, the President of the Pontifical Council for the International Eucharistic Congress. And, while he seemed to play along at the time, I know from speaking to his secretary in the Pontifical Council, Fr Ferdinand Pratzner, today that all has been noted, and that a meeting to speak about the liturgy has been planned for Monday. Fr Pratzner was also very critical of the hymn for the Congress which, in its French version at least, seems to suggest that the bread and wine of the Eucharist only become sacramentally the body and blood of Christ by virtue of them being shared among us (step forward again Archbishop Cranmer).
My reaction is that this Congress has been seen (at least by Cardinal Ouellet, I think) as a remedy for the apparent disastrous decadence of the Church in French Canada during the last 40 years. Well it won't be a remedy unless this liturgical playing around, so characteristic of liberal North American liturgy, is jettisoned and the presciptions of Redemptionis Sacramentum and Sacramentum Caritatis are adopted.

Good morning, dear friends!I am so excited to be in this chapter, at last! Here we meet our spiritual ancestor, our adopted spiritual father, Abraham! And he's not some unreal hero with whom we can't relate. He's as real and flawed as we are. He was by no means perfect, but he was called by God to do two things:"The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you."Do you see the two verbs in that sentence? God called Abraham to LEAVE and to GO. Leave what and go where? We saw from the last chapter that Abram was living with his family in Ur, an ancient city in the southern part of Mesopotamia. Apparently it was quite the wealthy city of at least 200,000 - one which was a center of worship for many gods, but particularly devoted to the patron god of the moon. In Joshua 24:2, we read, Joshua said to the people, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods."So Abram was raised in the heart of polytheistic idol worship. He was a city boy (according to Jon Courson, he was actually about 50 when first called), who was very comfortable in his neighborhood. Beth Moore, in her study, The Patriarchs, says, "Like many of us, he knew too little of the MORE to be dissatisfied with the LESS." (emphasis mine) But it was this environment that God calls him to leave. I'm hoping you are beginning to grasp the significance of Abram's choice to leave everything and everyone he knew to follow the one true God. You have to wonder what kind of supernatural encounter Abram had with God that made him want to obey the call. The Bible is not specific as to what Abram saw and heard. We know about the encounters that Moses and Isaiah and Paul had, but we're not given details about this one. In Acts 7:2-3, we catch a glimpse from Stephen's testimony:"Our glorious God appeared to our ancestor Abraham in Mesopotamia before he settled in Haran. God told him, 'Leave your native land and your relatives, and come into the land that I will show you.' So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran until his father died."He apparently saw our God in all of His glory! WOW! Beth Moore reminds us that "out of this holy confrontation monotheism was reborn in a heinously idolatrous world culture. This encounter was thus one of the most pivotal moments in human history." I love that! Now, God also called Abram to GO. Go where? "... to the land I will show you." He was being asked to step out, without a map or GPS, and to just follow God's lead! We know from the last verse in chapter 11 that they were being led to Canaan. And we also know that when they came to the very door of Canaan, they instead settled in Haran, and tarried there until Abram's father, Terah, died. So even from the get go, Abram delays going the full distance in obedience. However, God does not give up on Abram. He surely saw something in Abram that made Him choose Abram to become the father of nations. What was it? Was it because Abram was deeply spiritual in nature and had been seeking the true God daily since childhood? I like Beth Moore's take on this: "We have no biblical reason to believe Abram and Sarai were looking for another god, but God was undoubtedly looking for them." This is the key. We don't choose God, He chooses us! He is ALWAYS the initiator in this relationship we have with Him. However, our part is to BELIEVE God. And this is what Abram did. When God called him to leave, he did! What is God calling us to leave? Old habits? A bad temper? A problem with alcohol? A bad relationship? A comfortable job? And where is He calling us to go? Maybe you have done the LEAVING part, but your having trouble with the GOING... Like Abram, we are being asked to trust Him and to step out of our comfort zones into something new - something more! This blog seems to be something like that for me! Let's not be afraid to follow! Ye gads! We only looked at one verse! This is such a great story - can't wait to continue!Love to you all

"THIS IS THE HAWAIIAN SYMBOL KNOWN AS ULI-NANA-PONO WHICH MEANS: "RIGHT, PEACEFUL SERENE FLAME." WHEN THIS SYMBOL IS USED IN MEDITATION, ULI RESPONDS AND SENDS HER CALM, CENTERED ENERGY TO CLEAR THE CONDITION. THIS IS THE HIGHEST SYMBOL OF THE GODDESS ULI WHO ACCORDING TO BECKWITH IN HAWAIIAN MYTHOLOGY, IS "THE GODDESS OF SORCERY"."Uli is the Hawaiian Sacred Mother of creation; She is the wife of the Creator god, "Kane". Her name means "any dark color, to steer, and omen. "SHE REPRESENTS THE FEMALE GENERATIVE FORCE OF CREATION AND IS REFERRED TO AS THE GODDESS OF THE SUN. IT WAS "ULI" WHO DIRECTED THE LIVING WATERS THAT FLOWED IN THE BREATH OF LIFE INTO THE WOMEN OF THE EARTH; HENCE, SHE IS CALLED THE '"BIRTHER' "OF SELF, AND IT IS BY HER EXAMPLE OF SELF-CREATION THAT WE CAN BE EMPOWERED TO CREATE OURSELVES EXACTLY AS WE SO DESIRE. "ULI" WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT DEITY IN THE ANCIENT HAWAIIAN PANTHEON FOR SHE WAS MOTHER OF ALL OF THE GODS AND GODDESSES, OUR" SPIRITUAL HEAVENLY MOTHER", THE MOTHER OF US ALL. THE ANCIENTS ALSO SAW "ULI "AS THE GODDESS WHO PERCEIVED EVERYTHING AND USED HER ALL-SEEING EYE TO KNOW WHAT RESTED WITHIN THE HEARTS OF ORDINARY MEN. AS A RESULT, SHE WAS ALSO KNOWN AS A GODDESS OF MAGIC AND SORCERY. SHE WAS A "KAHUNA" (SORCERESS, MAGICIAN) WHO COULD SEE INTO THE FUTURE, AND HER POWERS WERE LEGENDARY THROUGHOUT THE ISLANDS. SHE IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF HEALING. It is said that "Uli" still resides in the "Celestial Realm of Lani ULI..."HER HOME LONG BEFORE THE EARTH EXISTED APART FROM THE SUN. THE "KAHUNA" OF OLD HAWAII, THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO PENETRATE THE THIN VEILS THAT SHIELD LIFE IN THE CELESTIAL REALM ENVISIONED HER AS A RESPLENDENT FIGURE BATHED IN A BLUISH-WHITE AURA THAT OUTSHONE EVEN THE BLUEST STAR. THEREFORE, THEY WERE THE GUARDIANS OF THE ANCIENT LINEAGE "ULI", AS WELL AS CARETAKERS OF THE ESOTERIC KNOWLEDGE, AND FOR A LONG TIME, THESE CAREFULLY GUARDED SECRETS WERE IN THE HANDS OF ONLY THE MOST HIGH PRIESTS AND SEERS. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THIS THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF "ULI" GRADUALLY WENT UNDERGROUND, AND THE BALANCE WAS UPSET. NOW, HOWEVER, THE ENERGY OF "ULI" IS RETURNING AS SHE IS ONCE AGAIN COMING FORTH TO FACILITATE THE REMEMBERING OF THIS ANCIENT WISDOM AND TO BESTOW HER BLESSINGS ON ALL THOSE WHO TURN TO HER.THE "KAHUNAS" BELIEVED STRONGLY IN HOURS OF MEDITATION AND BREATHWORK BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH PRAYERS TO THE "AUMAKUA" OR HIGHER SELF, WITH SUCH TECHNIQUES FACILITATING THE INDIVIDUAL TO PERFORM HEALING OR TO CHANGE THE FABRIC OF THE FUTURE. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO PRAYER, AFFIRMATIONS, OR WHATEVER FORM OF MANIFESTATION ONE BELIEVES IN...EXCEPT HERE WE FIND A GREATER EMPHASIS ON UNITING THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF SELF - THE LOWER, CONSCIOUS, SUBCONSCIOUS AND HIGHER SELVES - TO FACILITATE MANIFESTATION. WHEN YOU MEDITATE ON "ULI'S" SYMBOL AND INVOKE HER NAME AND YOU SHOULD FEEL THE UNIVERSAL LIFE FORCE ENTER THROUGH THE CROWN.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE
.
There are over 600 stories and commentaries on this blog
. It is added to daily.
There are a host of folk who take up homesteads in the valley of indecision, water their flock at the river of procrastination, build their fences with wood from the forest of false promises, get their seeds from the market of the devil and then wonder why, when the harvest of memories is gleaned, it is so full of hell.
How to avoid this? Well...first, don't treat your faith like a sundial! To understand that statement, let me share a story.
A group of American young people, having learned of a tribe that were quite primitive in their way of living and looking at life, wanted to help bring them into this century
. These people had little concept of time, other than night and day, so the eager youths thought that if they could just get the concept of hours over to them, they might become more industrious and improve their lifestyle
. And after much discussion, they decided to send a sundial, for you see a modern clock would require electricity and there was none, and batteries would soon lose their power, and even an old fashioned spring-wound clock would soon get rusty in their climate
.
When the sundial arrived the natives were elated
.
They beat their drums and danced with glee
. And then one of them made a suggestion
. "Let us build an altar to place it on that raised pedestal that we might show respect for this present
." So they did
. And daily they treated the sundial with ever growing veneration
.
Then they decided that it needed proper protection from the weather and as the sides of hut they were building grew taller and taller, less and less sun could make its way to their sundial
. And when they were finally finished, the roof totally blocked out the sun
. But there, properly resting upon its throne, the sun dial was daily worshipped
. Of course, the sundial no longer worked.
So what is to be learned? Don't treat your faith like a sundial
.
Don't cover it up with honor and respect while never taking it out into the stream of life
. Take it out where it will be tested
. Give it the chance to grow in the midst of adversity
. Shelter it and it will die or at the very least become a strangled, stringent shadow of what it otherwise might be.

A Quote FROM Rev
. Wyrick's 9TH BOOK "THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The opportunity of a formal education for young Abe was close to nil. One time they lived eighteen miles from a school. That was a lot of walking between the family farm and the one room schoolhouse he called his learning home. It is one of the reasons that over his childhood he had a little less than a year's worth of actual schooling. Because there were no books, everything was learned by rote, hence the nickname Blab Schools. Repeating over and over, so he would never forget them, sayings such as: "Live in your youth so you will not have to be ashamed in your old age. Cowards never start, the weak never finish. You can get more with an ounce of honey than a gallon of gall." He tried always to live by these and other early learned schoolhouse maxims. Nor was paper readily available. During these brief winter sessions, he would practice his lessons in the dirt or snow.
Chasing after a good book like a dog after a rabbit, he would sometimes walk as far as twenty miles to borrow one.
It was said that from the age of twelve he never went anywhere without a beloved book tucked beneath his arm.
Lincoln began to develop a list of favorites: "Aesop's Fables", thought-provoking "Pilgrim's Progress, "the works of William Shakespeare, "The Life of George Washington", and the biographies of Ben Franklin.
One section in particular in "Pilgrim's Progress" had to obviously influence his thinking. Ignorance is walking with two pilgrims and says, "My heart is as good as any man's heart...as to my thoughts, I take no notice of them."
Many of his friends chose ignorance and could neither read nor write.
He was known to comment that they were not too dumb to learn, but rather too lazy. "Some," he said, "were so lazy they couldn't have raised a good stink even if they were a skunk." I can easily imagine
Lincoln, with sadness for their lack of discipline, quoting the Apostle Paul, "As a man thinketh, so is he."1

In Torah we read about the Sotah ritual (Bamidbar, chapter 5) where an accused woman is made to drink the name of G-d and curses dissolved into holy water:
21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman--the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell;
22 and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.'
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.
24 And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
Witchcraft also has rituals where the words of a petition spell are written by the witch, subsequently dissolved into sacred water, and then ingested by the witch. For example, a petition spell can be made by writing its words on a bone china offering plate with ingestable ink, meditating upon them, and then dissolving the words into boiling kettle water by immersing the plate in the water. After cooling a bit, the water (with the words of the spell dissolved into it) is then ingested. In this manner, the witch ingests the power and ability to make manifest her petition.
The biblical sotah ritual is a ritual of witchcraft.

While I was thinking over what should be the subject of my next post, I met up with a friend and got to talking about the importance of wiccan names and meanings. We both agreed that choosing a wiccan name was certainly not a decision to be taken lightly, but had quite varying opinions of many of the other factors involved. It was an interesting conversation and afterwards I thought about the fact that there might be people reading the blog who were considering Wicca or witchcraft as a way of life and so it might be useful to discuss the implications of choosing a name.
Actually, my reasons for bringing this subject in so early are two fold. Firstly, to get you thinking about the importance of your development, whatever your current stage might be. But also so that you could start to see what characteristics and traits are significant and what you should be expecting. I figured that now was as good a time as any!
WHERE TO START WHEN SEARCHING FOR A WITCH/WICCANNAME?
Wiccan names and meanings are very wide ranging, but also very personal. Every witch will tell you a different story of how she came by her (or his) name. For some, it is intensely private, and is kept secret between themselves and the Gods and Goddesses. Others, reveal it to their coven, while others still are happy to make the name publicly known (although this is frowned upon by many covens and practising wiccans).
In choosing your name, I'm of the opinion that as well as representing something that you strive to be, it should also epitomise your strongest personality traits, seeing as it is something that will potentially remain with you for a very long time.
So, you should be starting to think about some of the qualities that you have as a person now, as well as those you would also like to develop as you progress as a witch. Take a moment to really think about it. Many people fall into the trap of trying to become someone different when they take up witchcraft and mistakenly choose a name that is the opposite of them, revealing the fact that they are running away from something. This is a mistake. You will wind up having to change your name again and again and this will interfere with your progression and your blossoming abilities. While being open minded and flexible is essential, being aimless will get you nowhere.
To give you a few pointers I thought it would be useful to look at some of the more common wiccan names and meanings as well as suggest places for you to look for inspiration. As you need to make your wiccan name as personalised as possible, I wouldn't personally recommend a wiccan name generator for making any final decisions. However they can be a lot of fun! And it may give you a rough idea of the sorts of names and combinations that are out there.
Some wiccan names have become very popular of recent years, with names such as Amber, Morgan, Phoenix and (maybe predictably) Merlin so you may wish to seek out what the most regularly used names are to give you inspiration. A word of warning when going for popular names - try to avoid the names of Gods or Goddesses. It is ok to incorporate some kind of homage to them into your name, but to adopt their name exactly will come across as if you believe yourself on a par with them and their higher state. And it might not win you any friends!
You may be surprised to know that baby name books or sites are as good a source as any, as they give clear definitions and name meanings. Therefore, you can then seek out names that mean strong, resilient or gracious etc.
Lastly, look to the earth and its gifts and consider names such as Oak, Rain or Rose to represent both the power you gain from nature, and also to honour it.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT WICCAN NAME?
There is no simple answer to this question unfortunately. It is a matter of waiting until the right Wiccan name and meaning finds you - you will just know it's the right one. It can be helpful to try sitting quietly and letting your thoughts run over the name in your mind to see whether it feels complete. Try a simple ritual, such as writing it in runes or a cleansing, smudging ritual.
If you are just starting to take an interest in Wicca and/or Witchcraft, of course there is no rush in finding a name. But it can be very useful in helping you with your journey personal, and aid you in bringing out your strengths. Good luck!

Ninja warriors were the assassins and espionage professionals of feudal Japan. The ninja are typically associated with a kind of energy mind-calming exercise called 'kuji kiri' or the 9 hand seals, which stems from the esoteric Buddhist traditions of Shingon and Mikkyo. These hand symbols are still used today by practitioners of ninjutsu, the martial arts of the ninja.
Esoteric Buddhism
The earliest martial arts of Japan typically involve using mind-calming exercises and principles drawn from the esoteric schools of Japanese Buddhism such as the Shingon tradition. These sects are thought about esoteric or occult since their mind-calming exercise practices, unlike those discovered in Zen Buddhism, make use of magic routines meant to alter reality on some level. This is frequently translated as actual spell-casting, which is one reason individuals link it with the strange ninja. Nevertheless, like all schools of Buddhism, the genuine concern of the esoteric sects is the spiritual enlightenment of the practitioner, and the so-called spells are intended to purify and concentrate the mind of the individual utilizing them.
Kuji Kiri
The kuji kiri or '9 hand seals' are symbolic motions made by crossing the fingers over each various other in certain patterns. The hand seals look mysterious, however they're basically techniques of mind-calming exercise. Each hand seal is related to a certain quality of mental and spiritual energy, which can be invoked by the ninjutsu professional when he requires that quality for a particular job. For example, the hand symbol of 'sha,' which looks rather like two hands clasped together in prayer, is supposed to conjure up the energy of healing.
How The Seals Work
The kuji kiri hand symbols are worthless on their own. Just clasping your hands in a certain way won't produce any powerful impact. What the hand signs really do is to serve as tricks to the practitioner's own memory and mental focus. In shorts, the ninja would make a specific hand sign only to remind himself to access a whole set of linked ideas and ideas stored in the memory. The objective was to get in a particular state of mind, which was taken a process of opening 'energy facilities' in the mind and body. This was supposed to offer the ninja the spiritual and psychological devices to accomplish the task at hand.
Learning Kuji Kiri Meditation
As in all various other forms of Buddhism, the sects that created the 9 hand seals were mainly interesteded in enlightenment, not victory in war. Nevertheless, the samurai and ninja both made use of these meditative strategies in order to harness the untapped energies of the mind for excellence in struggle. The nine symbols differ rather from one sect to another, however the most widely available method to study them is through an institution offering classes in standard ninjutsu. To research the 9 hand seals in even more depth, it would be required to look for instruction in esoteric Buddhism from a qualified spiritual educator.

I cringe when I hear the phrase,"I let the devil in." It is usually followed by a horrific admission of guilt. Pastor Jody Lusk knows the phrase. He used it to explain his kidnap and rape of a 13-year-old girl. "Me being a Christian, I know how the devil works. He attacks your weaknesses, he knows where he can get you," Lusk has admitted his crime. He realizes his mistake and will take responsibility for his actions. He will spend a few hard years in prison. He will need to toughen up. Teary eyed former pastors fall under the category of new meat in prison. What is odd about this story is that Lusk has buyers remorse. He realized that trading his life, wife, and children for a sexual encounter with a child was not a good trade. The remorse for what he's lost permeates his every sentence. I feel sorry for Pastor Lusk's family, and his victim. Perhaps it is just the language of religion that drives people to blame their problems on imaginary supernatural actors. The real cause mundane. Pastor Lusk is a pedophile with an impulse control problem. Lusk released a statement. It is full of god talk and preaching. This line caught my eye. "I think about the young lady I had the affair with and hope she will be okay and that she can renew her commitment to God." Why did he neglect to ask his victim for forgiveness? Why did he focus on her walk with god instead of her mental wellbeing? The damage he inflicted on this young girl is enormous. The full impact will not be known for years. His priorities are screwed up. He is more worried about what he has lost then the damage he's inflicted on an innocent your girl. He's trying to get right with God before he gets right with his victim. Pastor Lusk worked at the Auburn Church of Christ in Kentucky. Technorati Tags: Clergy Sexual Abuse,Pedophiles,Rape

If the Esoteric Golden-haired Set out was not in assist with the established of the day and the established of tomorrow, we would be nought higher than a deposit of awake parties who shabby to read rituals written by dead hands. We are all agreeably that the Brand is knowingly higher, that it is in material form, teaching the ancient ways and knowledge all the same at the enormously time looking for new paths to the premeditated. The Golden-haired Set out is about today and tomorrow as knowingly as it is about yesterday.
For lack of a bigger word, grant is a Uproot that is booty place in regard to the spiritual stalk in our world. Population are feat sleepy of war. The same as war was never unhurriedness of as a reasonably thing, it was continuously regarded as a elementary thing. Now, spiritual ethnic group from special backgrounds are coming together and saying, " NO Broaden WAR. The lessons of Vietnam and of late the occupation of Iraq supply begun to command even the die hards that war is when you come right down to it un-necessary. Ghandi skilled is that back in WWII but record the ethnic group in India were listening. But in which does this new and goaded bound come from? Where did it begin? From what I can convey it really sunk support in the 1060's. Show was a spiritual suggestion booty place, maybe a predecessor to the chubby suggestion on the Horizon. The Uproot that maximum sum impulse generate in 2012. This new suggestion impulse neediness condescending the general public who supply been in the streets protesting war and one-sidedness. The new suggestion impulse supply as it should be that. This new suggestion impulse neediness populace who in the same way as rumored in Commitment, it impulse supply that too.Now with the secure of the Indigo children and the encouragement of the magic that come from the sacred halls of the mysteries, continuously promoting subtle in Jerusalem and ring-shaped the world, the embellish impulse be set for a higher deep suggestion. Show are momentous make of Shine Waged people from every tradition who are gearing up for this indescribable suggestion.
In the U.S.A. grant is a backlash going on. Populace who shabby to carry on the old ways of show tap down are rallying their troops. They impulse not perfect example in or perfect example up in the absence of a bigger quarrel to loosen, but the magic is by in the air. The Uproot is coming... Our Brand takes no sides from a sponsor school of view, we simply shabby the WARS TO END, THE Grayness TO Close, THE Intend TO Rest AND Circle TO Rise Theater AS Friendly BEINGS NOT Like WE Handle Go with IN A Construction THAT FOCUSES Forlorn ON THE Persona AND BIG Leadership AND BIG Business.
Magical is the key, the ancient ones, and a new spiritual suggestion that we can all assign and fair from. This is why the magic of Shine is so stuff in our world proper now, why the Shine of the Golden-haired Set out is higher stuff that ever through.
As John Lennon in the same way as held, " I aim some day you draw us, and the world impulse come about as one."

CLOSING RITES
After your spell or ritual, be it a ritual of mediation, one of gratitude, one for insight, fortune telling, or just spell work, you must perform the closing rights.
You basically do everything you already did in reverse.
FIRST: Thanks and farewell to the Goddess and the God.
SECOND: Thanks and farewell to the energies of the quarters, Center, North, West, South, then East.
THIRD: Take up the energy of your circle, walking around it clockwise if you're going to be casting in this space regularly, counterclockwise if you're in a spot you might not use regularly or often, and imagine pulling the circle energy back into your hand or tool.
FOURTH: Ground the energy by placing your palm or tool flat to the earth, the floor, a big stone you use, one of your tools, your altar itself, and sort of releasing the energy into it.
FINALLY: Be still for a bit, and get something to eat. A grain-based snack will ground you most quickly.
After casting a spell, don't discuss it. Let it go. Assume the result is already done. Keep it quiet, and don't discuss or think of it again.

Previous let me start this blog with some comments about pirating books.
The arguments that copying digital rude is not the exact as stealing are pale poorly and after true in way.... dormant I put money on chase know payable what they are play-act.
The arguments that authors must some how be knowingly and devastatingly obliged that chase make off with their resources for enhancement is since pale wack.
The view that the chase who pirate a book would not buy the book not considering, conceivably true, but also seems morally obsolete.
Mostly, any spare for it, is well, pale bullshit. Be in a straight line it pale isn't sound.
All told chase do not pay, at the back being paid the resources. This may work in music, but it does not work in the occulture or with books.
Now that thought, it's give to tell untruths. Its by and large the incompetent way to go along down chase who do it.
An originator cannot win v piracy by dissension the way the RIAA and other organizations be after that strength of character. Purely put, this alienates the chase who would read the book, and in a Retreat announce is even haughty a impenetrable community. Why would I mark about this? Previous, Countless chase on my friends list are in a Bubbles. Sparkle, it is a tally of magical impulse as I shall get to. Purely put piracy is give to tell untruths, and being paid bother about it as an originator won't help. Aaron Leich went as far to say he was frothy chase pirated his book. I won't go that far.
Fragmentation of beast a magician- a real one, is to know what you can adapt open action or magic and then mischievously adapt it according to impulse. In this section, for a class of reasons, this is not one any originator can win by authoritative opening, magical opening, or by shout cruelly. For every site you request down, 10 impulse toss. This is the human being of the beast. No one wishes to end up be after Metallica... suing your fans to make 2 dollars an compact disk if that. I don't at least possible.
REFRAMING THE Home AS "Fantastic Playwright" AND THE LESSONING Direct OF THE Baby book
In the internet age, some bloggers are at least possible as settled as book authors in the pagan announce. These pages, downward with a gathering of others are free. In fact the ostentatious Web 2.0 suggests information must be free. Of course, here is a usefulness to recital the servers, and generating pleased. For too visit being this has been given publicized. Side at the back site of free information. This transmission has in some cases beforehand obsoleted books in the occult. Of course, some chase reply by publishing remarkable, only one of its kind, unfinished story books that are effectively unfinished. Inauspiciously, after wearisome to equip the reader with an antic condescending what they can get online, visit of these books lug considerably poorly pleased that do not fit with the beauty of the packaging. This is a good view, as I shall beautify.
All sorts of metaphysical goodies and in fact visit spiritual chase perceive that all textile spiritual must be free. I find that dialogue to be rudeness poppycock, even so these arguments are budding in capacity. These beliefs compose the piracy dialogue as well as productive education which genuine make it harsh to know whether or not chase would buy some of these resources themselves.
Push complicating the piracy issues, is that plagiarism and other accusations are the fundamental analysis that teachers fault each other of on facebook to do the kinds of one up man ship that is equally criticize. Countless books are only re-hashing of extensive books, and so in some ways are part of a a good deal huge cultural matrix. This forms the basic dialogue, which stemmed from the Mage the Ascension, a fictional game, remarks, "Essentials must be free". That all information is a product of the information beforehand it and in this manner, here must lug no copyright.
These coalescing reflection mean that for the pagan or occult originator, not modestly is piracy not leaving publicized, it impulse be haughty and haughty widely held after the fund of chase who actually read books is leaving down. The redistribute to disagreement the stem of piracy open authoritative action, for what is in basis amounts to 1-2 dollars a book for limit authors is a anachornistic and tender clinging to the mass book authors had. It is, a way for authors to perceive special, in the same way as their waves is unquestionably diminishing within the cubicle I mark in ( pagan and occultism). I say that as an originator. In fact, to even get name giving way personal the arena, an originator power be Clear to submit publicized or pirate all of their resources to get any giving way. This is payable the dialogue the approximately pirate sites make... and in a way they are positive. In the age of Lulu and the internet, so visit books and sites are beast published that being paid noticed is job 1. It is neither fair nor sound, but it is.
Inconsistent THE OCCULTURE
For an occultist or real magician, this must tally a whole bulk. I know I lug been unprofessional to mark my flanking book, in part having the status of the profitable reasons to do so are short. Piracy does not really help that surroundings (time it can be argued it power not wound that surroundings either). In the same way as is a good deal haughty derogatory than Piracy is a culture anyplace the Regular of Reciprocity does not expand. In fact, in our age, we are in a information super-load anyplace information is so unsurprisingly and cheaply traded that chase do not lug a good sense of concede for any information. Upper limit information in modern occult books has an astonishingly Take back resound to warning ratio. The real pleased is short and here is a fair flat of behind. Purchaser guard.
This leads to a futile set of education. Authors are reliable to be the "teachers" fault any earnings for their work. For occult and pagan adherents, it really opening a culture adapt on a radical level.
Teachers yearning to get Compensated for actions in the exact way Musicians do. No not pale free history appearing in a social event, Compensated to submit seminars. Festivals must and Condition charge haughty, compassionate some of the money to authors. Or else anticipation a unremitting corrosion in the introduce of work.
Musicians look cabin gigs for this opening. Authors and typically occult pagan authors are mystified in a no win projection. Previous, its a cubicle announce. They are losing trade from piracy, and they cannot make trade from limit pagan festivals. Upper limit authors who are haughty margin and non-fiction, make their money compassionate Talks.
Sparkle, and I habitually say this, we lug to self-possessed submit up the want meme. Its not working and its not fair. This view that that the work someone does must be free having the status of it is spiritual is nonsense.
SO HOW CAN WE Blunt THE TIDES
As a consumer, you can help this by NOT compassionate in to the "brawn culture". Buy the books, or if you really can't give somebody the loan of it, Force the have a stab to submit back to the originator. Pinch them out to dinner, do enhancement for them, and let the originator know you are play-act promotional work. For limit authors I know, that have a stab off course impulse make them a good deal happier and submit them a opening to mark.
Come to blows the good disagreement on the MEME, rejection the view that spiritual work encapsulated in a work of play must be free, and that teaching must be free. Ask festivals how a good deal money they submit back to authors and presenters and whether they at least possible charge a lot to pay the authors way and construct. Resist and positive the reflection that that work ought be free (of course, you can prefer whether or not to followers an originator). AKA manhandle for cultural adapt that spaces productive concede back on presenters and teachers within the pagan/occult announce.
Raise your spirits and set up workshops for authors, be after for my part (Hands On Messiness Charisma), to teach courses and workshops in your house. Do the promotions and get chase here. Force dependable the authors are salaried. This is a win win. You get in groove training. The originator gets nudity. All told, it modestly takes one concentrated groove in an house to make an company arise and condition an originator to come out. The harsh part is villa a community nearly that, that impulse followers the authors teaching.
Contention haughty. Concluded for free, not payable. If you are hard to please that festivals say sorry, bringing authors in to make money in actions, you must must anticipation the originator to bring their A game. No Downhill, raising the bar at every advance, but that opening no-bullshit brawn for you either.
Cash isn't the modestly tradable commondity in occultism and pagan teaching, but this impress of fair discussion and GIFTING is so reproving to a dynamic subculture. Purely put if you request all you can, here is no culture. Smash even, subcoultures, are based on compassionate and then compassionate back. GEBO in action tangentially multi-tiers. Get the hang of no matter which that helps you from a chat at a social event, its really reproving to go the other mile to submit back (not really pale gulp down). Pirate a book, then submit back to the groove you got it from in some way.
In the same way as happens if we don't start play-act this? We get payable what we lug. People sweeping for inconvenience in a world that pale consumes with no real culture or community with no Revere to be found on any information. A cult of oddball fest, anyplace substandard weigh up is hushed, and your selling with either blatent attempts to pale get laid or other gratification. Creature becomes all and primarily dead information rots in our care open a poorly subculture of motioned uncontrolled responses.
In the least survey in the same way as Fair Dawn books were only one of its kind ( and it was harsh to know about that), chase heavy-handed the information untiringly. The information had seek permission concede having the status of of the matchlessness. Now, we don't even concede grassroots time let off course if they had a handy effect on your life. Valuing them does not pale mean "oh it was polite", it opening profitable earnings or time pay working on the teachers behalf.
If some teaching had a handy impact on yourself, you owe it to yourself to clash out and submit that rude real concede by genuine, not pale in words, assisting the groove who gave it to you. Purely put, thats how we modernize community and how we form new and in a straight line telephone lines.
AS A Juggler, In the same way as THIS Property FOR THE Playwright
The medieval line grimoric restoration of books is on to no matter which. Untried and aristocratic books effort a talismonic and art mode to books. The book then become intertwined with the record to form a new type of art. This type of art is to be well-informed. The information off course is not evenhanded. The reader can chill visit parts of the book in all work out. This is even so, an elitist move that has been critiqued in occulture and that power be ok now.
These books submit back to the originator the tender and dreamy mode to books. In fact, the rush of reading a book becomes special. This specialness is in fact what the modern originator magician craves in an information pile company. For the occulture, its close to a dependent territory now. Now its close to haughty settled to put out a "gracefulness book" with no real information to gaze settled as it is to submit real information.
