TOP 10 ASTONISHING MIRACLES
Whether you believe in miracles or not, there is an enormous amount of documentation for seemingly inexplicable events over the centuries that many people believe to be the work of God Himself. In this article are the ten most interesting of these cases.
10. Marian Apparition in Zeitoun - 1968 - 1970
A Marian apparition is an event in which the Virgin Mary is believed to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons regardless of their religious faith. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition. They have been interpreted in psychological terms as pareidolia, and in religious terms as theophanies. Probably the most famous of these apparitions were the visions of St Bernadette at Lourdes (related item 6 on this list), and three children in Fatima (related item 1 on this list). In both cases, the people involved said that the Virgin Mary gave them predictions of future events and preached prayer and penance. The famous case of Our Lady of Zeitoun took place in Zeitoun, Cairo, and contrary to the norm, the apparition was witnessed by millions of people over a period of 2 to 3 years. The apparition was even caught on film (as seen in the photograph above). The Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria in Cairo issued a statement that the apparitions were real. The Catholic Church has yet to issue an official statement. You can view video footage here.
9. Incorruptible Corpses
Incorruptibility is the name given to the situation in which a dead person does not decay after death. The orthodox church consider it essential in considering a person for canonization as a saint, and the Roman Catholic Church consider it as sign of sainthood but not a necessity. Additionally, the Catholic Church believes that a body is not deemed incorruptible if it has undergone an embalming process or other means of preserving the dead, or if it has become stiff, as do all normal corpses, even when the best preservation techniques are used. Incorruptible saints remain completely flexible, as if they were only sleeping. Incorruptible bodies are often said to have the Odour of Sanctity, exuding a sweet aroma. Over the years there have been hundreds of Saints whose bodies have been found to be incorrupt - some many hundreds of years after their death. In the image above we see St Bernadette as she appears today - 129 years after her death.[Source]
8. Therese Neumann - 1896 - 1962
Therese Neumann was a German Catholic mystic and stigmatic. On March 10, 1918, Therese Neumann was partially paralyzed after falling off a stool while attending to a fire in her uncle's barn. She sustained more falls and injuries during this period. After one particular fall in 1919, she lost much of her eyesight. Therese reported that her eyesight was fully restored on April 29, 1923 - the day Therese of Lisieux was beatified (the first step to sainthood) in Rome. She said that on March 5, 1926, the first Friday of Lent, a wound had appeared slightly above her heart, but that she had kept this secret. However, she did report a vision of Jesus at Mount Olivet with three Apostles. On Easter Sunday, she claimed a vision of the resurrection of Christ. For several consecutive Fridays after that, she stated she was experiencing the Passion of Christ, supposedly suffering in her own body along with all his historic agonies. She especially suffered the Passion on Good Fridays each year. By November 5, 1926, she displayed nine wounds on her head as well as wounds on her back and shoulders (most of which are visible in the image above). According to several sources these wounds never healed or became infected and were found on her body at death. From the years of 1922 until her death in 1962, Therese Neumann said she had consumed no food other than The Holy Eucharist, and to have drunk no water from 1926 until her death. In July 1927 a medical doctor and four Franciscan nurses kept a watch on her 24 hours a day for a two-week period. They confirmed that she had consumed nothing except for one consecrated sacred Host a day, and had suffered no ill effects, loss of weight, or dehydration. Formal proceedings for her beatification were begun in 2005.[Source]
7. Statue in Akita - 1973 - 1975
In 1973, Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in Akita, Japan had visions of the Virgin Mary. On June 28, 1973, a cross-shaped wound appeared on the inside left hand of Sr. Agnes. It bled profusely and caused her much pain. On July 6, Sr. Agnes heard a voice coming from the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the chapel where she was praying. The statue was carved from a single block of wood from a Katsura tree and is three feet tall. On the same day, a few of the sisters noticed drops of blood flowing from the statue's right hand. The wound in the statue's hand remained until September 29, when it disappeared. On September 29, the day the wound on the statue disappeared, the sisters noticed the statue had now begun to "sweat", especially on the forehead and neck. Two years later on January 4, 1975, the statue of the Blessed Virgin began to weep. It continued to weep at intervals for the next 6 years and eight months. It wept on 101 occasions. Scientific analysis of blood and tears from the statute provided by Professor Sagisaka of the faculty of Legal Medicine of the University of Akita confirmed that the blood, tears, and perspiration are real human tears, sweat, and blood. They come from three blood groups: O, B, and AB. Sr. Agnes was also completely cured of total deafness. In June 1988, Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) - head of the Office of Inquisition - judged the Akita events and messages as reliable and worthy of belief.[Source]
6. Lourdes - 1858
The apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes began on 11 February 1858, when Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year old peasant girl from Lourdes admitted, when questioned by her mother, that she had seen a "lady" in the cave of Massabielle, about a mile from the town, while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar appearances of the "lady" took place on seventeen further occasions that year. During one of the apparitions, she was directed by the "lady" to dig near a rock and drink from the spring there - there was a small puddle of mud in the place but as Bernadette dug in to it, a large spring appeared - this is the source of the water in the grotto to which millions of people flock for miraculous cures every year. The Lourdes Medical Bureau have declared 68 cases of inexplicable cures (out of thousands tested). You can read more on the scientific bureau here.[Source]
5. Joseph of Cupertino - 1603 - 1663
Joseph of Cupertino is an Italian saint. He was said to have been remarkably unclever, but prone to miraculous levitation, and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping. In turn, he is recognized as the patron saint of air travelers, aviators, people with a mental handicap, and weak students. He was canonized in 1767. On October 4, 1630, the town of Cupertino held a procession on the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi. Joseph was assisting in the procession when he suddenly soared into the sky, where he remained hovering over the crowd. When he descended and realized what had happened, he became so embarrassed that he fled to his mother's house and hid. This was the first of many flights, which soon earned him the nickname "The Flying Saint.- Joseph's most famous flight allegedly occurred during a papal audience before Pope Urban VIII. When he bent down to kiss the Pope's feet, he was suddenly filled with reverence for the Pope, and was lifted up into the air. He experienced ecstasies and flights (witnessed by thousands) during his last mass which was on the Feast of the Assumption 1663. Apple Inc.'s headquarters are in the California town of Cupertino, which was named after this saint.[Source]
4. Tilma of Juan Diego - 1474 - 1548
Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin was an indigenous Mexican who reported an apparition of the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. He had a significant impact on the spread of the Catholic faith within Mexico. According to Juan Diego, he returned home that night to his uncle Juan Bernardino's house, and discovered him seriously ill. The next morning December 12, Juan Diego decided not to meet with the Lady, but to find a priest who could administer the last rites to his dying uncle. When he tried to skirt around Tepeyac hill, the Lady intercepted him, assured him his uncle would not die, and asked him to climb the hill and gather the flowers he found there. It was December, when normally nothing blooms in the cold. There he found roses from the region of Castille in Spain, former home of bishop Zum'arraga. The Lady re-arranged the roses carefully inside the folded tilma that Juan Diego wore and told him not to open it before anyone but the bishop. When Juan Diego unfolded his tilma before the Bishop roses cascaded from his tilma, and an icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously impressed on the cloth, bringing the bishop to his knees. The bishop acknowledged the miracle and within two weeks, ordered a shrine to be built where the Virgin Mary had appeared. The original tilma (pictured above) is on display in Guadalupe today and is one of the most frequently visited pilgrimage sites in the world.[Source]
3. Padre Pio (St Pio of Pietrelcina) - 1887 - 1968
Francesco Forgione, later known as Padre Pio, canonized as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, was an Italian Roman Catholic Capuchin priest who is now venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. He was given the name Pio when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, and was popularly known as Padre Pio after his ordination to the priesthood. He became famous for his stigmata. Based on Padre Pio's correspondence, even early in his priesthood he experienced less obvious indications of the visible stigmata for which he would later become famous. Though Padre Pio would have preferred to suffer in secret, by early 1919, news about the stigmatic friar began to spread in the secular world. Padre Pio's wounds were examined by many people, including physicians. People who had started rebuilding their lives after World War I began to see in Padre Pio a symbol of hope. Those close to him attest that he began to manifest several spiritual gifts including the gifts of healing, bilocation, levitation, prophecy, miracles, extraordinary abstinence from both sleep and nourishment (One account states that Padre Agostino recorded one instance in which Padre Pio was able to subsist for at least 20 days at Verafeno on only the Eucharist without any other nourishment), the ability to read hearts, the gift of tongues, the gift of conversions, and the fragrance from his wounds. Rather than using an image, I have used a video clip of St Pio - you can see his hands concealed by fingerless gloves to hide his stigmata. You may also be interested in this clip in which St Pio's grave and coffin are opened (on March 3, 2008) revealing that his body is incorrupt. His body is now on display in San Giovanni Rotondo.[Source]
2. The Miracle of Lanciano - 700 AD
In the city of Lanciano, Italy, around A.D. 700, a Basilian monk and priest was assigned to celebrate the Eucharistic sacrifice in the Latin Rite in the small Church of St.Legontian. Usually celebrating in the Greek Rite and using leavened bread and having been taught that unleavened bread was invalid matter for the Holy Sacrifice he was disturbed to be constrained to use unleavened bread and had trouble believing that the miracle of transubtantiation would take place with unleavened bread. During the Mass, when he said the words of consecration, he saw the bread change into live flesh and the wine change into live blood, which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape and size. Various ecclesiastical investigations have been conducted upon the miracle, and the evidence of the miracle remains in Lanciano to this day. In 1970-71, Professors from the University of Siena conducted a scientific investigation into the miracle. They concluded that the flesh and blood are human flesh and blood. The Flesh is a heart complete in its essential structure. The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood type, AB, which is also the same blood type found on the Shroud of Turin and all other Eucharistic Miracles. The Host-Flesh, which is the same size as the large Host used today in the Latin Church, is fibrous and light brown in color, and becomes rose-colored when lighted from the back. The Blood consists of five coagulated globules and has an earthly color resembling the yellow of ochre.[Source]
1. The Miracle of the Sun
The Miracle of the Sun is an alleged miraculous event witnessed by as many as 100,000 people on 13 October 1917 in the Cova da Iria fields near F'atima, Portugal. Those in attendance had assembled to observe what the Portuguese secular newspapers had been ridiculing for months as the absurd claim of three shepherd children that a miracle was going to occur at high-noon in the Cova da Iria on October 13, 1917. According to many witness statements, after a downfall of rain, the dark clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disk in the sky. It was said to be significantly less bright than normal, and cast multicolored lights across the landscape, the shadows on the landscape, the people, and the surrounding clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened towards the earth in a zigzag pattern, frightening some of those present who thought it meant the end of the world. Some witnesses reported that their previously wet clothes became "suddenly and completely dry." Estimates of the number of witnesses range from 30,000-40,000 by Avelino de Almeida, writing for the Portuguese newspaper O S'eculo, to 100,000, estimated by Dr. Joseph Garrett, professor of natural sciences at the University of Coimbra, both of whom were present that day. The miracle was attributed by believers to Our Lady of F'atima, an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three young shepherd children in 1917, as having been predicted by the three children on 13 July, 19 August, and 13 September 1917. The children reported that the Lady had promised them that she would on 13 October reveal her identity to them and provide a miracle "so that all may believe." The event was officially accepted as a miracle by the Roman Catholic Church on 13 October 1930. In the image above you can see some of the many witnesses photographed during the event.[Source]

John 15:20 "Give a lift to the word that I assumed to you, 'A slave is not big than his master.' If they wounded Me, they leave furthermore have it in for you; if they standoffish My word, they leave defend yours furthermore. Homeland of optimism all done with the world collect today to the same extent of their love for Jesus Christ, risking their own lives for the change of the gospel. Sporadically do we surprise of character dying in America to the same extent of pestering. You may be chummy with the naive organism who got a buckshot in her brain for refusing to disown Christ at Columbine, but she is really the absolutely contemporary American wounded person we admit on our pulverized. At a halt, at hand is experiment for Christ going on in the homes of believers every day; husbands who deride their wives for believing in Christ and children who are God-haters and jump their godly parents all sorts of misery. If you don't take up the kids have it in for the parents, you are amateurish. I see them in my divide. Regard the parents who admit raised their son or schoolgirl to take the liberty in Christ from childhood. The child decides at some inspiration in their teenage living that they are going to ignore all this teaching and begins to reside and speed a terrestrial practice. This creates never-ending tension, daring and dissention in the home every time the ancestry is together. I admit heard children revealing their parents they are mad fools for believing in God and Christ. They nonstop their parents they loathing them to the same extent they are not decriminalized to run about curtailed nude fancy their friends, or go places other kids can go or see movies or put on. These kids can be hideous, necessitate, horrid and obnoxious to mom and dad. Homeland in these positions are experiment and Scripture is very first-rate to us in understanding experiment for graciousness sake. A thrifty apprentice of the Word leave not be puzzled to the same extent of how a long way away the Bible says about it. (1 Peter 5:6-10; 1 Peter 4:15-16; Luke 6:22) The hardest part seems to be the acceptance to the pestering we do obstruction. For all we know about experiment we run effectively with the acceptance to it. "But even if you requirement collect for the sake of graciousness, "you are" blessed. And do not distress signal their fear, and do not be wobbly" 1 Peter 3:14 This can be groovy pause to a wife whose group is unsaved and is ridicule her and admonition her to the same extent of her new found optimism. 1 Peter 3:16-17 (NASB) ...defend a good principles so that in the thing in which you are slandered, relations who revile your good actions in Christ leave be put to embarrassment. For it is stop, if God requirement leave it so, that you collect for comport yourself what is defensible to a certain extent than for comport yourself what is amateurish. I nonstop relations in these example of situations that it is constantly, constantly stop to be experiment on the neighboring of graciousness. If someone is going to try and be a nuisance experiment upon you, you object it to be to the same extent you are drama smugly earlier God. It is past the pattern of our Lady Christ who assumed, "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for relations who have it in for you," Matthew 5:44 And the Apostle Paul who assumed, "Set apart relations who have it in for you; bless and do not curse." Romans 12:14 This duct to pray for them, bless them with attention and pardon and forbearance. Regulate from plunder opponent and responding from the flesh. This is not practicable for us to do in the absence of the squirt intervening power of the Devout Primary. You necessity highest be utterly dependant upon Him for the zeal to bathe out an tame acceptance. The close thing that is artificial for crash into is that you have an effect on your focus- from self to God. When my vile is not paying attention on "me" and I am sooner pondering about "how can I idolize God in this circumstance?" I leave begin to take on board and understand indubitable tackle that God requirements me to learn depressed the experiment. As a consequence I necessity put inside action the tackle that I know are defensible to do. I necessity be respectful, unclear, indication optimism and confidence in God. As a long way away as we dislike experiment, it is the conclude place for God to do some of His best work in the hearts and lives of His relations. Since it shows us the attitude of the vile. Expert close time!

FRATER N.O.M. * PUBLICADO POR NIEVE ERollo Volador XVILas palabras de abertura para el Convention 5o = 6o tienen que ver con la Historia de la Orden de la Rosa Cruz: "Sabe Oh Aspirante, que la Orden de la Rosa Cruz tuvo existencia desde tiempos inmemoriales y que sus m'isticos ritos fueron practicados y este conocimiento oculto comunicado en las iniciaciones de varias razas de la Antig"uedad como Egipto, Eleusis, Samotracia, Persia, Caldea e India, que apreciaron estos misterios, leg'andolos para la posteridad en la Sabidur'ia Secreta de las 'Epocas Antiguas..."Este estamento es uno de los que viene a casa de cada miembro del Grado 5o = 6o, porque qui'en se encuentra en esa posici'on tiene verdaderos estudios ocultos, y los desarrolla m'as f'acilmente, si tiene el rango de maestrazgo en el que se han consolidado nuestros conocimientos m'isticos; la unidad esencial del sistema habla elocuentemente de la sabidur'ia que le ha formulado."Saber la forma en que se introdujo en la Europa Medieval" es muy importante para nosotros. C.R. es la gran figura prime alrededor de la cual, se han creado las m'as rom'anticas historias del ocultismo medieval. La historia no asienta el nombre real de este car'acter 'unico: C.R. es obviamente un nombre ficticio, o asumido para un prop'osito m'istico.Nacido en 1378 y muerto en 1484, una vida de 106 a~nos, que aparentemente fue el t'ermino de su manifestaci'on f'isica; y dado a estos esfuerzos, hemos querido adscribir la gran reforma del Ocultismo en Occidente Inflamado por un posh prop'osito, y animado por energ'ias divinas, fue su bello round off de una vida de utilidad ocultista: oscura su personalidad, pero es una materia de suprema importancia para el progreso del Ocultismo Occidental, y el completo significado de esta observaci'on ser'a probablemente el que sea apreciado por usted, siempre y cuando quiera seguir adelante. Los primeros a~nos de su decisive vida la dedic'o a los estudios, tanto intelectuales como ocultos, para seguir una serie de iniciaciones en diferentes lugares, "donde exist'ian templos de nuestras 'ordenes". Entonces hab'ia fundaciones "donde poder erigir una extensa superestructura de pr'actica aplicaci'on", y habiendo escogido a otros tres fraters para compartir el calor del d'ia, el establecimiento de la Orden se efectu'o en Europa. Con las principales bases de su actividad usted ya est'a familiarizado, y es suficiente con decir cuando nuestro fundador "entr'o a su recamara" cumpli'o su trabajo, y cada miembro entre nosotros deber'ia colocarse bajo una eterna deuda de gratitud.Es importante anotar que hay tres 'epocas importantes en la historia de la Orden Rosa Cruz: la primera es el per'iodo de vida de Christian Rosacruz, que muri'o antes de la Reforma Protestante, la segunda, los ciento veinte a~nos de secreto y silencio, entre 1484 y 1604, y la tercera, el per'iodo subsecuente de la FAMAMA FRATERNITATIS, o el Descubrimiento de la m'as honorable Orden de la Rosa Cruz, en Cassel el a~no de 1614, aunque el tratado databa de 1610. Este evento llam'o poderosamente la atenci'on del mundo culto de la 'epoca, de tal manera, que no hay menos de 600 tratados existentes en el Museo de Berl'in sobre el tema, y favorables o no, todos criticando la misteriosa asociaci'on que revelar'a la FAMA: todos aquellos que se vieron obligados a guardar el secreto, y todos aquellos que no recibieron respuesta, hicieron pensar a los dem'as que todo hab'ia sido una ilusi'on.Es obvio que los Ceremoniales y Rituales, as'i como las instrucciones de la Segunda Orden ahora existente, no pueden ser id'enticas a los que se obtuvieron al abrir la B'oveda porque el prime simbolismo del Grado 5o = 6o se centra principalmente en el descubrimiento y hind abertura de la B'oveda: esto es, que al notar que hab'ian pasado dos 'epocas, ya referidas, se atribuyeron por secuencia de comparaci'on a los grados 6o = 5o y 7o = 4o respectivamente: el primero, un grado de muerte y solemnidad, referido al precedente estado de oscuridad, durante el que el estudio silente y la meditaci'on se han de considerar como una condici'on t'ipica; el 'ultimo, el Grado Adeptus Exemptus, se refiere el rango m'as alto y m'as exaltado y pertenece al que fund'o la Orden de la Rosa Cruz, como una nueva f'ormula de que la Sabidur'ia Oculta o la Sabidur'ia Religiosa, sin duda, nunca ha estado totalmente ausente de la manifestaci'on intelectual del hombre, que tiene la capacidad para aspirar a las cosas Divinas.Comparando el historial Esot'erico que se cuenta en la FAMA, contenido en nuestro Convention 5o = 6o, hallamos que muchas de las divergencias son m'as bien aparentes: porque la FAMA fue escrita para el p'ublico, lo que no es completamente correcto. Las instancias de los "ciegos" introducidos en la FAMA, ocurren cuando se design a la B'oveda estableciendo que: "Es toda clara y brillante, y tambi'en de siete lados y los dos hept'agonos..." Y despu'es: "Cada lado o pared est'a dividida en diez cuadrados, cada una con sus dibujos y sentencias... Cada lado o pared..." tiende a representar m'as una especie de estanter'ia donde se encontraban diversos libros y cosas que hab'ian permanecido encerrados por 120 a~nos, incluyendo al Vocabulario de Paracelso, que vivi'o de 1493 a 1541. En esto hay una obvia inconsistencia, que fue introducida a prop'osito por los "ciegos" para despistar a los cr'iticos de la 'epoca: un cr'itico casi nunca es un ocultista: la Sociedad, para asegurarse la exclusi'on de ciertos hombres, fueron astutos cuando 'esta autoriz'o la publicaci'on de un tratado, en el que se condenaba a s'i misma para el dynamism de los cr'iticos, y guardaron as'i a ciertos hombres del conocimiento p'ublico de su admisi'on. Pues se debe de recordar que la FAMA fue una publicaci'on oficial autorizada por la Sociedad. Subsecuentemente, y en spectacle del revuelo que caus'o, y debido a que algunos sectores importantes de la sociedad de la 'epoca consideraron que el tratado ofend'ia en cierto modo a la fe cristiana, se autoriz'o a Valent'in Andreas a publicarla nuevamente en el 1615, con un suplemento, bajo el t'itulo de CONFESSIO FRATERNITATIS R.C. dirigida a los eruditos de Europa.En el prefacio, y a modo de advertencia para el "gentil lector", se dec'ia que "incorporada a nuestra CONFESSIO encontrar'eis las 37 razones de nuestro prop'ositos e intenciones que podr'eis analizar para ver si se encuentran a vuestro placer y a vuestra altura". El punto es que al examinar el texto no se encontraban las 37 razones, no las letras hebreas que les representaran secretamente, ni palabra alguna que indicara su contenido oculto, pero por Temurah, encontramos dos palabras que se relacionan con el n'umero propuesto, una LHB=30 + 5 + 2 = Flama, Lux, Luz o Iluminaci'on; y la otra LGD= 30 + 3 + 4 = Para la Sociedad, o para el ej'ercito.Existe una referencia a Paracelso en la FAMA que tiene un curioso inter'es: y miserable, "a pesar de que nunca fue uno de nuestra fraternidad, y de que no tuvo la diligencia de leer nuestro Libro M, su ingenio fue sin duda exaltado". Bien, Paracelso fue ense~nado pro Johann Trithemius de Spanheim, Aboot de Wurtzburg y Solomon Trismosin: tambi'en viaj'o al este y fue hecho prisionero en Tartaria, donde fue iniciado; se ha de decir tambi'en que recibi'o la Piedra en Constantinopla de manos de Segismundo Fugger.Aunque la FAMA es deficiente en su contenido hist'orico, tiene aqu'i y all'a descripciones redundantes que sirven para la reflexi'on: por ejemplo miserable, "En otra estanter'ia hab'ian cristales de diversas virtudes, as'i como en otros lugares peque~nas campanas, l'amparas incandescente, y principalmente una hermosa m'usica mischief..." Lo 'ultimo es, por supuesto, una referencia a los Mantrams Orientales. Carmina o c'anticos, es decir, instrucciones para lograr las vibraciones con que deben pronunciarse los nombres divinos.S'olo existe otra publicaci'on Rosa Cruz importante, un curioso trabajo titulado ROMANCE HERM'ETICO, o LAS BODAS QU'IMICAS, que tambi'en levant'o muchas controversias: esta llena de extra~nos pasajes, cuyo significado es completamente aleg'orico capaz de ser medido s'olo por la violencia. Sobre esta clase de estudio todo lo que puedo decir es que "a veces una luz sorprende al estudiante en su camino". Su fecha de publicaci'on fue 1616, un a~no despu'es que la CONFESSIO FRATERNITATIS.He de mencionar que se hizo una traducci'on al ingl'es de la FAMA por Eugenius Philalthes, publicada en Londres en 1652; Eugenius fue Mago Supremo en Anglia, o Adepto Chief a produce de nuestra fraseolog'ia.En conclusi'on, s'olo me queda decir que el elemento hist'orico tiene inter'es 'unicamente para cada miembro del Grado 5o=6o de la Segunda Orden; para los dem'as su importancia es m'inima, si la comparamos con simbolismo m'istico que la envuelve. Los 120 a~nos tienen otras referencias como lo demuestra el Convention 5o=6o. Este fue el n'umero de Pr'incipes que Dar'io sent'o en su reino, y Daniel fue un mago entre los caldeos; y a'un existen otras razones por las que este n'umero fue tomado en consideraci'on.En el Grado 5o=6o, el simbolismo de los colores del arcoiris est'a especialmente ejemplificado, un rango de color que puede decirse que es m'as aparente y obvio: mientras el Grado 5o=6o es de inter'es para muchos de nosotros, especialmente porque su color es diferente, el Grado 7o=4o se refiere a un color que tiene un arcano simb'olico a'un m'as importante.Notas SuplementariasEs especialmente deseable que cuando nuestros hermanos se encuentren, el antiguo m'etodo de saludo se preserve; salud'andose el uno al otro de la siguiente manera: El primero, "Ave Frater"; el segundo, "Rosea Rubeae" y el primero concluye, "et Aureae Crucis".Existe tambi'en la antigua costumbre de que despu'es de haber descubierto su posici'on, uno le diga al otro; "Benedictus Dominus Deus noster qui Dedit nobis signum". Esta 'ultima forma se ha de observar en las ocasiones formales y especialmente cuando los fraters se conocen poco personalmente.Al despedirse los miembros deben utilizar la antigua f'ormula Dell, a~nadiendo "Sub umbra alarum tuarum, Jehov'a".El efecto de la pr'oxima observaci'on es el de preservar los lazos ps'iquicos que siempre han servido de obligaci'on a los miembros de la antigua y honorable Orden, de unos para otros; en esta luz, esto es algo m'as que una mera forma.Las hermosas sentencias siguientes fueron inscritas sobre la Tableta. En el encabezado fue escrito."Granum Pectaris IH SH VH insitum"Un grano, o semilla, fue plantado en el coraz'on de Josu'e. El caparaz'on del cuerpo f'isico queda a un lado, para que cuando escape la entidad espiritual funcione en un cuerpo espiritual, como dijo Pablo; hasta que se le requiera otra vez para vestir la piel, y regrese a guiar y a ense~nar a otros; en conmemoraci'on del Frater C.R.C. nuestro prototipo.Pater dialectissimies = !Amad'isimo Padre!Frater Suavissimus = !Hermano m'as cort'es!Preceptor fidelissimus = !Instructor m'as fiel!Amicus integerrimus = !S'olido amigo!Utiliza tu vida en ayudar al mundo y en ense~nar a los dem'as, si deseas ganar un ep'igrafe como este.ComentarioPara un mayor conocimiento de la historia de la Rosa Cruz, y especialmente para conocer el contenido de sus publicaciones oficiales, nada m'as indicado para leer los Cap'itulos V, VI, VII, VIII, VIX, de la "Hermandad de la Rosa Cruz" de A.E. Waite, 1988, Piece Humanitas.La Segunda Orden propiamente dicha, ser'ia la de la Reforma Ocultista de 1777, es decir, la Orden de la Rosa Cruz de Oro. De cualquier manera es muy dif'icil erigir a una de las diversas 'ordenes de la Rosa Cruz existentes en el mundo, como la leg'itima heredera de la initial Orden de la Rosa Cruz.Los errores sem'anticos, cronol'ogicos, o de informaci'on, no se puede aducir como astucias para "despistar a los cr'iticos" y a los indeseables.Golden-haired Twitch, Rollo XVI LA DIVINIDAD NOS BENDICE SIEMPRE.

Merry Meet,
The other day I took some time to take my children for a walk in the woods. It was nearly 50 degrees that day. We have a wildlife conservatory near our house. The snow was still on the trail but it was starting to get really muddy where it was melting from the warm weather. We took our time, and I stopped countless time to watch my kids scamper up into the woods to check out a tree, or a little stream. I couldn't help but smile as I listened to them make their "houses" among the trees and allow their imaginations transport them to magickal places.
Along the way they picked up various treasures like sticks and stones and choruses of "Mommy look at this!" sang to me as we went along our journey. I noticed as we walked that there were really strong "air pockets" I'll call them. It was almost like journeying through little air bubbles. One moment the air was cold, and just a few steps more and it warmed a good 5 degrees or so. I am use to changes in temps when walking in the woods do to shade etc, but these temperatures seemed to follow no rules. For instance I could walk out of a warm temp in the shade into a freezing temp in the sunshine. It's the first time I've noticed that happening. But I took it to be a sign of spring, for you could indeed smell it in the air.
Our walk took followed alongside a small river that runs near my house. We came across a simple bridge that went over the top of it. My children stopped to try to skim rocks on the water. And toss in twigs to watch them be swept away by the current. I was marveling at how simple and beautiful it was when I started catching musical notes off in the distance. I hushed my children and told them to listen well. A few moments later, 3 boys came out of the woods. One of them was carrying a guitar, playing it and singing softly. It was just magickal to watch it. Like we had been swept back hundreds of years and a minstrel band was coming up the road into the town. We smiled and waved and they went on their way but I couldn't help thinking how perfect it was.
We walked for another half hour after that, a few miles in total. I absolutely love how much my children enjoy being outside and hunting for treasures in the woods and I hope they will always be that way.
Love and Blessings,
Jasmeine Moonsong

I was having a discussion over in the Herbal Tribe about Medicine Men/Shamans using ceremony, herbs in particlular, in my opinion it doesn't seem like magic to me. Speaking in general terms of course, the north american native tribes and "magic" Perhaps a lower level, perhaps a local source of inspiration, plants, trees, animals, earth energy, Then there is HigherMagick that is connected to a Higher Forces/Sources. Is there any thoughts? I do not believe that the common shaman is conected like that. I know that once you get closer to the equator, The Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecs know they had the blood sacrifices, which as little as I know about this kinda stuff, you must shed blood(like mass tribal wars, kill your young men in battle, sacrifice children at the alter) to get the attention of the higher forces. You know, the same Religion practiced by our Bohemian Goverment. Anyway am I wrong for assuming that The Natives were not aware... i'd like to think of them as mosty peaceful, mostly tradition of nature, down to earth. Is that still considered magick. I have my Golden Bough by Frazier in front of me but he says nothing that convinces me its High Magic. I am not aware... ThankYou For YOur Time posted in ChaosMagick - 10 replies
Dharmacharis Seven and Amber Dorrian, Wisdom Quarterly " The Buddha under, on, above Mt. Sumeru, Axis Mundi", with humans at base (michielkauwatjoecom). " Cave art: sky devas "(Jasspierxia)Who are the "space aliens" ("akasha-loka devas") and how could they be Buddhist? As funny as it may sound, there are Buddhists in space. "Space" (Sanskrit, "akasha") refers to the infinite sky. Beings coming from, patrolling, or living in the sky are referred to as "akasha devas" -- literally, "space shining ones."Not all are "devas "proper, but it is a general term for superior and longer lived beings. (These are the gods, godlings, and demigods described in religious lore East and West, from pre-Hindu to pre-Christian, in ancient India, Rome, Greece, Egypt, Sumer, and throughout the Near East). * COVERT SPACE ALIEN ACTIVITY IN WASHINGTON, DC There are also "asuras "(titans), "yakkhas "(ogres of a furry bipedal nature), "nagas "(reptilians), and "brahmas "(powerful creative beings that have transcended sex). One class of beings who reside two levels up in the space worlds ("lokas") above Earth are the subjects of Sakka, Ruler of the "Devas". Which "devas"? Only the limited number in "Tavatimsa", the world of the 33 "lords" or rulers of that space plane. His "star command" is good and wishes to benefit humans and the perpetuation of the Buddha's Dharma (path to liberation). He frequently visited the Buddha in his "vimana "(UFO, space chariot) with his driver and is said to have become a stream enterer, having entered upon the first stage of enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teaching. There are inimical forces however. And Sakka is said to have asked lesser "angelic" (subordinate space rulers from the four quarters of the sky) messenger beings ("devas "and GANDHARVAS) to keep an eye on human progress particularly in the arena of virtue. "It is said that these "Four Great Kings" (catu-maha-rajikas"), who regard Sakka as their king making him "King of Kings," patrol our skies and monitor humanity in that respect apparently with devices that read the heart/mind of humans. These "devas" or "space aliens," it should be noted, are not hideous reptoids, little green men, or monsters. They are Nordic aliens who mated with humans and thereby enhanced our physical symmetry, beauty, and intelligence as is recorded by countless cultures and spiritual traditions. While all this may seem like utterly ridiculous "mythology," East and West, Wisdom Quarterly tries to keep abreast of actual UFO research, leaks, and discoveries to show how far from the mark we have strayed from what is real and what the modern mainstream media would have us believe. It is only natural that one would doubt and dismiss any talk of angels, aliens, giants, and virtue. And that would be fine if we did not then fail to investigate. After all, the truth is much stranger than our fiction. " Buddhist depiction of deva/"angel (Swanksalot)
