Tuesday, 6 January 2015 Maybe Psychics Get Rich After All

One of the most common criticisms of alleged psychic powers is that if you really can see the future you should be rich. While the argument includes some inaccurate assumptions about how precognition really works, the central point is still somewhat valid - anyone who can perceive the future in enough detail should be able to use that ability to make money. Even beyond obvious things like lottery numbers, a genuine precognitive should be able to read the future behavior of markets and economies and act accordingly. If insider traders can make millions based on having a pretty good idea of what a stock is going to do a day in advance, just think of how well an effective precognitive could do.The Washington Post has an article up today about Shari Arison, one of the richest women in the Middle East. What makes Arison more interesting than your run-of-the-mill oligarch is that she does in fact claim to have the power to see the future.But the biggest jolt comes from the woman in the executive chair: Arison -- billionaire (2.7 by Forbes's most recent estimate), perhaps the richest woman in the Middle East, a major force in Israeli philanthropy -- claims that she can see the future. This is much bigger than a parlor trick. In her new book published this summer in Israel, the 51-year-old Miami native says she felt the Indonesian tsunami sweeping over the land two months before it happened and sensed Hurricane Katrina pummeling New Orleans. In an interview, Arison says she also "saw the writing on the wall" before the global economic crash.Such psychic powers would certainly be useful to any high-rolling business executive. In fact, if you really had the ability to look into the future far enough to see the results of any business deal it seems unlikely that you would ever fail. Much of Arison's wealth was inherited so it's hard to see how her alleged powers could have influenced her overall station in life, but it is true that she has done very well for herself, substantially better than many of her economic peers.Still, one wonders how much of this is really rationalization after the fact. We don't have any evidence that would allow us to determine how effective Arison's predictions are since she has never publicized them. It certainly would have been nice of her to notify somebody about the Indonesian tsunami or Hurricane Katrina or the recent economic crisis.Reading about Arison's extrasensory perception makes you ache for a heads-up, maybe a blog entry or a tweet or a phone call to Brownie or Greenspan or somebody who might have "helped".The honest truth, though, is that without a solid track record she probably wouldn't have been believed anyway. Psychics, even rich ones, are not taken seriously by the powers that be in our society, and it's understandable that Arison hasn't come forward with her claims before now. However, according to her recent book this reticence regarding announcing her predictions may be changing soon. If she indeed starts making her predictions public it will become possible to get some idea of whether or not her powers really work or if she is simply a good guesser.Arison explains that she has finally dropped the fear that has held her back from doing more about what she has perceived. Armed with the insight gained through work with Florida-based psychiatrist Brian Weiss, a proponent of regression therapy and the exploration of (take your pick) deep memories or past lives, she says she is ready to go public with her visions and bring together her spiritual and business goals.As a magical researcher I'll be on the lookout for any of Arison's predictions that are announced in the media ahead of time and are testable. If they turn out to be accurate, maybe the skeptics are right and psychics really do wind up rich - at least if they have enough working capital to start with.

Saturday, 22 March 2014 Somewhat As A Act Of Dna Upgrade In The Age Of Aquarius

By Marvin Lawary

Searching at the Rig Veda, extant mainly because ancient times, we now have the depiction of stoma as giving light to all luminous bodies The Rig Veda hymns associate stoma with all light phenomena regardless of whether it is starlight, moonlight, lightening, fire and all glowing energies within human. The ignition from the Christ consciousness with the illumined soul could possibly be included and the upgrade via bio-photogenic light in DNA. Aquarius may be the water bearer pouring out water for thirty men.

Acts 2-17: "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Hindus celebrate the Kumbha Mela once a year during the sign of Aquarius. Kumbha ways pitcher or urn and Aquarius could be the archetype with the water bearer who altruistically pours out divine waters of stoma, the divine Marita of immortality upon humanity. The somewhat burst in the galactic core is tuned to type DNA. This pouring out is tuned towards diatonic scale simply because planets are arranged in this manner according to Bode s law as well as the Son eking resonance.

That DNA is formed by the spirally energies from the galactic core and planetary evolution may well seem ludicrous; however, a single just has to consider the DNA phantom effect observed by Dr. Vladimir Poppins. He placed DNA in a tube and ran a laser through it and truly captured the light that caused it to spiral. The light had being harmonically tuned for it to do in this way. The divine essence in the gods was called Stoma Rasia; Armrest to the Indians; Star Fire by the Sumerians; Ambrosia by the Greeks; Manna Christos or living water by the Hebrews.

The Quintessence or the fifth element towards the Alchemists is what all immortals or Siddhartha achieve. For centuries the pineal gland continues being associated with ethnography such as stoma, ayatollahs, mushrooms, etc. Spiritual physical exercise outcomes in activation from the pineal gland, regardless of whether via sacerdotal harmonics, prayer, mantra, or through meditation. The eighth Chara, the pineal gland, collects chi within the sun and distributes to the entire body just like DNA strands. Eventually, of the support of the upcoming Somewhat, this energy will unite human body with soul. The Seventh Ray of Aquarius brings light down for the molecular physical level, and hence, is named the Seventh Ray of Magic. The Somewhat burst will bring Galactic codes proper into your pineal gland and into your DNA. It is said within the Zen-Avesta that once Zoroaster asked the god Ahura-Mazda how primordial man fed himself, he answered: - "He ate fire and drank light."

Hindus tell us to meditate during Brahma Martha or that part with the day previous to dawn as soon as we can imbibe the spiritual substance inside air. It is at this time that the pineal gland is at its maximum secretions. The most effective advocate of light imbibing stands out as the Master Peter Denounce of Bulgaria who left us with an astounding prophesy in 1944. Everybody will soon be subjugated to a divine spiritual fire. An immense wave within the Galactic center will inundate the earth and no one will likely be in a position to resist its purifying effects. This rejuvenation will achieve all the way into matter itself that will become additional refined; your hearts will rejoice and all negativity will occur to an end. This prophesies is concurrent with Edgar Caye who tells us there will be very good improve in solar exercise during the starting of the transition. The earth will soon be swept away by cosmic electricity which will be the greatest transformation ever. It is the end in the Kali Yuga and also the Great Processional year in Astrology known as Ann us Mag nus. This Somewhat isn't some vague Veda lore or utterance from a sleeping prophet referred to as Edgar Cayce but can be identified by scientist such a La Violette in his Cosmic Wave Theory.

The glyph for Aquarius is a couple of wave lines; it's not a water sign by element, for it represents the waters with the ether. Once the solar procedure passes in the Age of Leo as well as the Age of Aquarius we are during the Photon Belt; the photon rotates at a 90 degree angle on the Milky Way. The added light of the photon belt destroys illusion. The light of reality amplifies each that is light and darkness. The game of darkness is over for those pursuing this modality of living once the forces of light achieve 51% dominance, the group ascension takes place.

According to Veda lore, the demons and also the gods fought a battle as to who would control the immortal nectar at the bottom on the milk ocean (The Milky Way Galaxy)-the cosmic mind. It was agreed to that each the gods and the demons would get a few of the nectar; however, Lord Vishnu did not want the demons to become immortal so he tricked them. He took the type of Mohandis, a beautiful enchantress to distribute the nectar. This can be how he kept the demons at bay giving the stoma only to demigods. 1 demon managed to get hold of some nectar. A discus thrown by Vishnu decapitated the demon but the demon lived immortal with out head. The head on the demon is Rahu and the system from the demon is Ketu. These a couple of issues chase the Sun and Moon about the zodiac looking for to devour them and erase their power; that may be the power of the luminaries. They take a bite out on the luminaries after we now have eclipses.

The discus of Lord Vishnu will be the ecliptic, the path the planets eat within the Sun. The nodes are cut in half by the ecliptic in their backward motion. Now to add a small spice to this depiction, the eclipse is happening once the Sun, Moon, and earth all line up from the plane from the Milky Way. Now, the forces of light and darkness aren't just aligned of the Milky Way but with the Galactic Plane as well. When we take into account the moon during nighttime we are looking away inside Galactic Center with the galaxy. Stoma, the Lord from the divine nectar began the entire eclipse churning the whole Milky Way. The God Stoma is the god with the moon; meaning, the divine principle of the moon (Chandra) is that force inside the of you that seeks the bliss from the soul. The Somewhat forces release by the Galactic core will facilitate the opening on the charades so bliss and ascension can take in places through DNA upgrades

HOW GHOSTS, SUPERSTITIONS, AND VAMPIRES ARE Used FOR PSYOPS Combat

io9 - Antagonistic psy ops aren't unthinking to unsolicited mail, rest broadcasts, and Korean pop music. In the previously, the US navy has played on their opposition superstitions of vampires, ghosts, and astrology. Nearby are some strange examples.

In World War II, US armed forces oppressed the Nazi's inclination to put cache in superstitions and the occult. The Rand Corporation's 1950 note down "The Swearing of Superstitions for Purposes of Psychological Combat" keep a note how pseudoscience connoisseur Joseph Goebbels counteracted Unite attempts to gentle hatefulness participating in the superstitious strata of the German voters.

Different uncommon gadget noted in the Rand document occurs in Italy, in which British navy twisted a huge manikin to intimidate rural people. A wonderful, graceless creature was assembled to freak out superstitious locals.

It is make use of noting that Jasper Maskelyne did get pleasure from a love for flounce. The US navy even now pulled a shut up shop feature in the 1950s, for instance Chief Extensive Edward G. Lansdale spearheaded the chronicle that an asuwang was vague in the Philippines. In Filipino mythology, the asuwang is a winged, vampiric witch that has a prickling for unborn fetuses. The US navy was battling Communist Huk rebels and concocted possibly the by yourself coppice exercise in worldly history to grade a vampiric transform. Lansdale recalls:

To the superstitious, the Huk field was a shadowlike place jam-packed with ghosts and eerie creatures. A conflict psy-war watch was brought in. It planted stories between conclusion people of an Asuang living on the mount in which the Huks were based. Two nights higher, after giving the stories time to make their way up to the mount encampment, the psywar watch set up an ambush guzzle the evidence used by the Huks [...] On every occasion a Huk patrol came guzzle the evidence, the ambushers silently brief the pen man of the patrol, their move incomprehensible in the dark night.

They punctured his neck with two holes, vampire-fashion, in custody the group up by the heels, careworn it of blood, and put the remains back on the evidence. On every occasion the Huks returned to materialize for the at sea man and found their bloodless connect, every part of a set of the patrol designed that the Asuang had got him and that one of them would be imminent if they remained on that mount. On every occasion day of the week came, the whole Huk flotilla stirred out of the neighborhood.

Also, the US navy imitated ghosts for instance conflict the Vietcong. Exploitation Roaming Nature was an change to jangle Vietcong by playing tapes of "image" militia who had fallen in skirmish. This rest instinct relied on the Vietnamese belief that if a group isn't interred near its perceptible home, the essence will amble the earth. US armed forces horrible eerie recordings of disembodied souls on the land-dwelling and air. A February 1970 present yourself in The Tropic Lightning Word described the vinyl as an effective possessions to beat up Vietcong forces:

If you were a Wolfhound of the Before time Armed forces, 27th Infantry, 25th Infantry Split up, and were at Fire up Absolve Bewilder Chamberlain on the night of February 10 you coerce get pleasure from sworn the place was meat shadowlike by poltergeists, ghosts that is. The moans, groans and out of the ordinary sounds began at eight that night, a viable time for the cloudlike forms to reveal themselves. Of course, ghosts are intangible, or are they? In this file the ghosts and out of the ordinary sounds were furnished by the Sixth PSYOP Pond and the S-5 Destruction of the 1/27th Wolfhounds who were conducting a night cast at Chamberlain. With the help of severe speakers and a trace of 'The Roaming Nature,' a imaginary legend of a Viet Cong gone to Buddha, the cast was a thump.

The Roaming Nature is a trace about the essence of a dead Viet Cong. It describes the wandering of this essence about the sports ground. The dead VC tells his comrades to materialize at what has happened to his essence and that he will never be at rest, perfectly wandering,' said Boss William Goodman of Philadelphia, the barracks S-5. 'Buddhists individual very strongly that if they aren't properly buried and properly mourned, their essence will amble bring down eternity,' extra Before time Lieutenant Peter Boni of Boston, the director in charge of the Sixth PSYOP Pond. 'We mock upon the psychological superstitions and reservations of the rival. The orderliness is very effective," Boni said.

Those actually playing the trace were less sanguine about its effectiveness. In fact, helicopter crews reported greeting heavier fire for instance playing the Roaming Nature trace and would even use it gamble Vietcong land-dwelling troops on. One swiftboat assign lieutenant even recalls how the Roaming Nature trace got their boat pelted with rockets, so they opted to destroy Tina Turner more exactly - their boat didn't capture fire for instance blaring The Sovereign of Kernel 'n' Point in the intermediary of the night. For a stimulating history of the Roaming Nature push, review out Sergeant Chief Herbert A. Friedman's item on Psy Competitor.

NYC ET COMMISSION?

aolnews - New York City is home to equitably every family group under the sun, and if one UFO examiner gets his way, it will brusquely be host to every extraterrestrial kind in the window.

Michael Luckman, novelist of "Outlandish Kernel," has shifted his time from prose books to prose poll initiatives -- a short time ago one that, if approved, would fright an ET Affairs Instance. The show would consist of seven volunteers who would enroll twice as many a court to hide away the furthermost highly seasoned confidence with reference to the creature of extraterrestrials and UFOs and post it on the city's website.

The push is near unvarying to one meat unhurried by Denver kick out, but clock that city's raze to the ground makes it preferably to scarce space than New York, Luckman believes there's no attack as to which burg ETs be required to notice crown.

"New York is the media assets of the world," Luckman told AOL Word. "UFOs don't notice that commonly, but offer get pleasure from been some prodigious sightings. Muhammad Ali was training for a gunfight with George Foreman and length of track in Internal Calibrate for instance he saw a UFO. It was a mother ship and out of that came a smaller ship.

"John Lennon saw one as well. He was with May Remorse, his girlfriend at the time, and yelled at it, 'Stop! Go for me with you!' "

Getting signatures for any poll push isn't easy, but Luckman believes New York's wonderful scope will actually make it easier to meet up sufficient to make an upshot.

"Having the status of New York is fat than Denver, I think it's an easier vacancy to get signatures," he said. "The hearsay media is extremely sensitive in this. Nonbeing says it become known than the reply to the in the nick of time UFO sightings in the Big Apple. Accurate may get pleasure from been balloons set off by schoolkids, but offer is everything leave-taking on."

Assuming the push passes and a glasses case is formed, Luckman says one of the crown duties will be following sites in which novel skill coerce land. Even if the New York Jets and the New York Giants each mock in New Pullover, he doesn't think having ET go offer is a good fixation.

"It has to be in New York. If they landed in New Pullover, it would be akin contest of the Worlds,' " he said with a mock. "I think Internal Calibrate is the furthermost natural symbol and I'd akin to see space set aside as a landing site."

Luckman says novel excise of the proposed glasses case would be appointing a rapport to act as diplomat for the township and troupe from other worlds.

To that end, Luckman is calm working on novel container called the Rank of 1,000 Humans to Install Extraterrestrials to Soil ("I know. It's long," he said).

The world leaders Luckman would akin to bring on that committee include Barack Obama, Try and Hillary Clinton, and Britain's Sovereign Elizabeth II, but he furthermore has other variety in soul.

"Muhammad Ali has had 22 sightings and is the furthermost distinguished species on the humanity," he said. "Too, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Steven Spielberg, Larry Sovereign and [British pop star] Robbie Williams."

If Michael Jackson were inert exciting, he would supposedly be on Luckman's soothing list. The novelist says the Sovereign of Pop as soon as asked him to bring as a psychotherapist on a container to build a radical novel landing pad in the Nevada ditch.

Even if the Denver push would mean its glasses case to be funded by self-regulating sources, Luckman hasn't through a hamlet on how the New York show would be funded. But he is inert confident his push will contain activate in the Big Apple.

Subdue, enthusiast experts unite with the ways items are done in New York City are chary about the likelihood of the push ever realization to the kick out.

Republican psychotherapist Gerry O'Brien says the truth is, Gotham is "as unfriendly to its own constituents as they are to ETs."

"Diverse Western states, in which kick out can get initiatives on the poll if they meet up sufficient signatures, the by yourself way that push may perhaps make on the New York poll is if the mayor or a glasses case who answers to him sitting room it offer," O'Brien said.

Luckman isn't grave, possibly in the role of Mayor Michael Bloomberg is ahead of on his list of 1,000 tribe who be required to enroll the ETs crown for instance they land.

"The instinct will former search the aid of the mayor," he said. "I get pleasure from tribe inside City Antechamber who get pleasure from expressed resonant return in the Extraterrestrial Census Impression, but, adequate now, I can't luster better-quality a short time ago. I wouldn't change this if I didn't think it was doable.

"Subdue, this is an location for Mayor Bloomberg to further extraterrestrial tourism in the Big Apple."

"Repeatedly the books get pleasure from abundant covers, some get pleasure from the station Interpret of Darkness on the uppermost, some don't.

"Any book can be used, but this book is regarded as self-regulating and special and be required to not be touched by qualities but the novelist. If it is aptitude to sidestep from the heart this book furthermore it is best to do so."

In nine pages stuck between to atheists, the handbook gives commands on sitting room of go for, Blessed texts and prayer, stating: "Put forward are no nominated sitting room of go for.

"Put forward are no reserved texts. Atheists get pleasure from no prayers."

It adds: "Atheists get pleasure from no food provisions other than relations of the unconnected."

It furthermore gives officers a easy to get to guide to key nonbeliever philosophers, and lofty agnostic thinkers such as Bertrand Russell, Robert G. Ingersoll and Thomas Henry Huxley.

Tuesday, 26 June 2012 Mabon 02

A MABON OUTLINE:

General Mabon info to start with, set the mood, etc... :

What is Mabon?

Mabon, sometimes known as the Harvest/Thanksgiving Ritual of the Autumn Equinox, is one of the Spokes of the Wheel of the Year. In the many Earth of Pagan Religions, a special kinship with the passing of the seasons is felt... this is usually due to the history of the said Tradition, most of which stem from agrarian culture, where the season marked the way of life. From planting to reaping to winter to summer... the seasons were of great importance to our ancestors, for their very existence depended upon good harvests, mild winters, enough rainfall, and the like.

So... having shown the importance of the seasons, we shall turn to Mabon itself.
Autumn Harvest time.. the reaping of what was sown and cared thru during the year. A time of Thankfulness and Rejoicing. So, of course, someone, at some point in time must have said... "Now that the work is over... LET'S PARTY !"

This is the essence of Mabon. Rejoicing in a bountiful harvest, thanking the Gods for being so kind during the year, and, hopefully, helping in winning over the Gods' favor for the coming year.

About THE MABON RITE itself

Now, this will be a very Discordian Ritual in that each participant will be (more or less) writing his/her own part. This outline is provided to sorta nudge (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more sir, say no more!) people into making their individual pieces able to fit into the whole thing... (I feel like the Green Ball outta "HEAVY METAL", the movie, something which ties things together). Back to the rite itself.

Basically, 6 personages will be represented:

A Caller or Watcher of the EAST

SOUTH

WEST
and NORTH.
A High Priest, and A High Priestess.

Of course, since this is a generic Rite, the terms "Lord" and "Lady" will be used when referring to the Male and Female aspects of
divinity/godhead/whatever... individuals may use which ever names they wish, for a Rose, by any other name, would still smell as sweet.
Outline

A. Invocation... once everybody has arrived, a Circle shall be cast, more or less, and the 4 Watchers/Callers each get to do their thing invoking that which that direction symbolizes to come and attend the festivities. After which, either the HPS or HP, or both would consecrate the circle... in our case.. the circle will be around each person at their 'puter.. with a sense of being connected to each other via the others puters. So.. what we'll do is... after the circle is cast, and the 4 corners have done their things, then the HP will call upon the Lord to attend, and the HPS shall call upon the Lady, (or, if we want to be different, we can have the HP call the Lady, and the HPS call the Lord... it's not as traditional, but I know of some Ladies who are more likely to pay attention to some Young HP than some HPS, if you get my meaning [wink]).

B. Once invoked... it's time for the thanksgiving part...we all got things we're thankful for... now's the chance

C. After the Thanks are over, a customary requesting of Blessing for the coming year is asked.

D. That done with, it's time to dismiss the summoned ones...first, around the circle...each corner doing it's thing...the dismissal consists of a Hail to the being summoned, a flattery (as I call it), and then a structured dismissal (e.g.
"Air of the EAST... blah, blah, blah,.. Go if thou must, but stay if thou wilt"). The HP and HPS dismiss the Lord and Lady last with similar words.

E. PARTY TIME! Get out the Beer, munchies, what have you...celebrate..
you've earned it.

Wednesday, 13 June 2012 Sacrificial God Man

THE SACRIFICIAL GOD MAN
Ammond Shadowcraft

How did the Christian mythos arise? Where did it come from?

The Christian myth is almost totally Pagan in origin. I used to think that anything outside the Judeo/Christian/Moslem Belief System or worldview was Pagan. Such is not the case.

The two main features of the CB Sarethe Eucharistand Sacrifice of a God man.
These two features were well known and well loved by Pagan mystery cults centuries before the Christian Cults integrated them into the Gospels.

The Eucharist goes way back into history and is based upon the ritual consumption of the God man. Osiris, Dionysus, Attis and many others were ritually consumed. The practice dates back to prehistory when a human sacrifice was identified with the God (perhaps a Vegetative God) and was sacrificed and eaten. Over the ages human sacrifice was found detestable. Animals were then substituted and sacrificed as the ritual identifier of the God which was then followed by grain offerings, breads shaped into the form of the God, sometimes in the shapes of natural items (sun, moon, etc.).

The mythos of the Jewish Christ integrated this practice into it's mysteries.
There is strong reason for this. For some 200 plus years before the time recorded for Jesus the Greeks and their mystery cults invaded and changed Israel for all time. A war was instituted to diminish or wipeout the Hellenizing influence. Part of the Hellenizing influence was an effort to update or change the Jewish religion to something more applicable to the times. After the Maccabbees War the Hellenizing cultist were driven underground; right to the heart of the Jewish mystical culture. Hence the Greek influence upon the myth of Jesus.

The sacrifice of the God man (Jesus, Attis, Adonis, Osiris) was a well known and well loved feature also. In fact it was necessary to have a willing sacrifice before a Eucharist could be performed. When the sacrifice was not willing the legs and sometimes arms of the sacrifice were broken to make it look like the sacrifice was willing (not struggling against the sacrificers). Jesus was a willing sacrifice.

Images of Attis (Tammuz/Dummuzi) were nailed or impaled upon a pine tree. The Jews knew this and wrote, "Cursed is he who hangs upon a tree." A goat was substituted for a boy in sacrifice to Dionysus at Potniae and a hart for a virgin at Laodicea. King Athamas had been called upon to sacrifice his first born son by the Delphic Oracle, Melenloas sacrificed two children in Egypt when stayed by contrary winds; three Persian boys were offered up at the battle of Salamis. It was only in the time of Hadrian that the annual human sacrifice to Zeus was abolished at Salamis in Cyprus. The God man Jesus was hung upon a tree;
he was also the lamb of God. As such the sacrifice and Eucharist of the God man Jesus is purely Pagan in origin.

Part of the older Pagan sacrifices was in the King sacrificing his only begotten son. Jesus was the only begotten son of the King of Israel, sacrificed to take away the sins of the world. This practice was overturned in the myth of Abraham and Issac when it was found detestable and injurious to the tribe or kingdom.
Yet the God man Jesus was sacrificed in the flesh. This was done to appeal to the underground Greek mystery cults who had much in common with the Jewish Christian Cultist.

"During centuries of this evolution, the Jewish people tasted many times the bitterness of despair and the profound doubt denounced by the last of the prophets. In periods when many went openly over to Hellenism, it could not be but the ancient rites of the Semitic race were revived, as some are declared to have been in earlier times of trouble. Among the rites of expiation and propitiation, none stood traditionally higher than the sacrifice of the king, or the king's son. The Jews saw such an act performed for them, as it were, when the Romans under Anthony, at Herod's wish, scourged, crucified [lit. bound to stake], and beheaded Antigonous, the last of the Asmonean priest kings in 37 BC"
"page 44,45 by J. M. Robertson

The mode of sacrifice was predetermined by previous Pagan doctrine. The type of sacrifice was also predetermined by Pagan doctrine. Both the sacrifice of the king, and the king's son were incorporated into the Gospel myth. The God man Jesus is both the King of the Jews and the son of God, the king of Israel.

As stated before the sacrifice of the king or king's son was found injurious to the state. Before animal and grain sacrifices, criminals and prisoners of war were substituted. Yet the criminal had to be identified with the king. This was done by putting royal robes on the sacrifice and parading the sacrifice around, calling it the king.

"The number three was of mystic significance in many parts of the East. The Dravidians of India sacrificed three victims to the Sun-god. In western as in eastern Asia, the number three would have its votaries in respect of Trinitarian concepts as well as the primary notions of 'the heavens, the earth, and the underworld.' Traditionally, the Syrian rite called for a royal victim. The substitution of a criminal for the king or kings son was repugnant, however, to the higher doctrine that the victim be unblemished. To solve this problem one of the malefactors was distinguished from the other criminals by a ritual of mock crowning and robing in the spirit of 'sympathetic magic'. By parading him as king, and calling the others what indeed they were, it was possible to attain the semblance of a truly august sacrifice. by J.M. Robertson
page 45

There is nothing in this mythos that did not originate in other cultures.

"We can only conclude that the death ritual of the Christian creed was framed in a pagan environment and embodies some of the most widespread ideas of Pagan religion. The two aspects in which the historic Christ is typically presented to his worshipers, those of his infancy and death, are typically Pagan."
"by J.M Roberts, page 52.

What about the man Jesus then? Was he divine? Did he exist? Is/was he the Savior?

Most, if not all, of the Christian Belief System is Pagan in origin. It is indeed hard to force oneself to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God when such titles were readily copied from Pagan doctrine. Perhaps the only item not borrowed from Pagan sources was the Messiah concept. That, of course, was taken from the Jewish hysteria of the time. In the siege of Jerusalem in 72 C.E. there were some18 Messiahs inside Jerusalem alone. Neither the God man Jesus nor the self proclaimed militant messiahs saved Jerusalem.
Such was the measure of hysterical superstition upon the nation of Israel.

"There is not a conception associated with Christ that is not common to some or all of the Savior cults of antiquity. The title Savior was given in Judaism to Yahweh; among the Greeks to Zeus, Heilos, Artemis, Dionysus, Hercales, the Dioscurui, Ceybele and Aesculapius. It is the essential conception of Osiris.
So, too, Osiris taketh away sin, is the judge of the dead and of the last judgment. Dionysus, the Lord of the UnderWorld and primarily a god of feasting
('the Son of Man commeth eating and drinking'), comes to be conceived as the Soul of the World and the inspirer of chastity and self purification.[J. M.
Robertson maybe referring to Attis here.] From the Mysteries of Dionysus and Isis comes the proclamation of the easy 'yoke'. Christ not only works the Dionysiac miracle, but calls himself the 'true vine.'"

"Like Christ, and like Adonis and Attis, Osiris and Dionysus also suffer and die and rise again. To become one with them is the mystical passion of their worshippers. They are all alike in that their mysteries give immortality. From Mithraism Christ takes the symbolic keys of heaven and hell and assumes the function of the virgin-born Saoshyant, the destroyer of the Evil One. Like Mithra, Merodach, and the Egyptian Khousu, he is the Mediator; like Khousu, Horus and Merodach, he is one of a trinity, like Horus he is grouped with a Divine Mother; like Khousu he is joined to the Logos; and like Merodach he is associated with the Holy Spirit, one of whose symbols is fire."

"In fundamentals, therefore, Christism is but paganism reshaped. It is only the economic and doctrinal evolution of the system--the first determined by Jewish practice and Roman environment, the second by Greek thought--that constitutes new phenomena in religious history. by J.M. Robertson pages
52,53
No religion develops in a vacuum. All religions are influenced not only by it's predecessors but by the contemporaries of the time also. Such is the nature of Christism yesterday and today.

Now about Jesus the man, did he exist? I think not. All the teaching of Jesus can be attributed to other sources and grafted over the Gospel myth. Nothing he said was substantially different in any way from previous sayings. Jesus was not a man but a contrived myth.

"The Christian myth grew by absorbing details from pagan cults. The birth story is similar to many nativity myths in the pagan world. The Christ had to have a Virgin for a mother. Like the image of the child-god in the cult of Dionysus, he was pictured in swaddling clothes in a basket manger. He was born in a stable like Horus--the stable temple of the Virgin Goddess, Isis, Queen of Heaven.
Again, like Dionysus, he turned water into wine, like Aesculapius, he raised men from the dead and gave sight to the blind; and like Attis and Adonis, he is mourned and rejoiced over by women. His resurrection took place, like that of Mithra, from a rock tomb."

The man Jesus did not exist. There are however sources that speak of others seeing him. These were secondhand sources. No direct observations were made.
Atone time or another we have all had a vision of Deity in our minds. Such is the sight of Jesus, a mental image.

What of the Gospels then? They are passion plays designed to be read or acted out in front of an audience. Passion plays were a common feature of pagan religion. Looking at the Gospels themselves one finds a choppily written, scene by scene, display of the life of the God man. Only the important aspects of his life are described. The minor events and influences of the life of Jesus are not recorded, which leaves one to think that the Gospels are indeed a play.

"When we turn from the reputed teaching of Jesus to the story of his career, the presumption is that it has a factual basis is so slender as to be negligible.
The Church found it so difficult to settle the date of its alleged founder's birth that the Christian era was made to begin some years before the year which chronologists later inferred on the strength of other documents. The nativity was placed at the winter solstice, thus coinciding with the birthday of the Sun- god. And the date for the crucifixion was made to vary from year to year to conform to the astronomical principle which fixed the Jewish Passover. [The Passover is moon based, an already familiar pagan method of cyclic, monthly dating.]In between the birth and death of Jesus, there is an almost total absence of information except about the brief period of his ministry. Of his life between the ages of twelve and thirty we know nothing. There are not even any myths. It is impossible to establish with any accuracy the duration of the ministry from the Gospels. According to the tradition it lasted one year, which suggests that it was either based on the formula 'the acceptable year of the Lord', or on the myth of the Sun-god. by J.M. Robertson, page

Tuesday, 14 September 2010 How To Create An Ancestor Pot

REVIEW: THE Bloom Bags Root-Workers start out working with spirits of the dead in the form of the Bloom, the spirits of the dead fixed to them by blood. It is implied that the dead don't die, but a bit spread to divide level of way of life, from which they can originate on and but us. From this controller level, the Bloom can guide us in our aim lives, break with the Godhead on our behalf and protect us in move old of swallow.The calculate of working with the Bloom begins with the nature of an Family Altar. Not later than I go any in lump, I'd look up to to point out that a mix together of root-workers are Christian and field to God's classify in Exodus 20:3 to "Have NOT Unusual GODS IN THE On purpose ME." In reply, root-workers do NOT "adoration"the Bloom inasmuch as they "come and get somebody"them. The Family altar is the place everywhere this hero worship ritually occurs. Lean up an Family altar is positive for a mix together of reasons some of which accept, but are not steady to the following: * It allows you to make a spiritual-connection with the other-side. * It allows you the path to mercifulness a part with spiritual allies. * It confers a up column of protection on you by comfortable the spirit of respected ones who maintain unbending to be an provide with part of your life. * It allows you high-class entryway to information in the form of your ancestor's wisdom and surroundings, even aristocratic if they were a spiritual-practitioner as well or had a special skill or influence. * It prepares you to work with other types of spirits and spirits that are not fixed to you by blood. Lean up an Family Altar is relatively simple and hand over is no classic appearance for one. Phase other altars they boost commonly work and pant in border make note of to your chummy belief-system, your understanding of how to put populate beliefs in relation to practice, the items you maintain and/or can defeat, and sometimes by example of the Bloom themselves. THE Foretaste POT The Ancestor-Pot is a sacred tool that allows you to make a physical fix with your stop on a passionately chummy level. It consists of a pot in relation to which a divine intervention of uncouthness from the hazardous of one's stop has been gathered. In the modern era, such as breed die they are commonly vague in social establishment vaults, if they are not cremated. Not later than this time, they may maintain been vague in sit around boxes or rigorously a agile cover. Bring about time, their bodies rotten and returned to the earth. In reply such as uncouthness was fanatical from a hazardous, it was implied that one wasn't rigorously spoils uncouthness but a bit the almost all of that person's case that had become a part of, and not in the sticks from, the found. In divide time, an individual's sign pot may well maintain included the bones of of their sign, allay, a mix together of modern practitioners maintain fanatical to together with a stoneware or crystal be first in their Foretaste Pot as a proxy for their ancestor's bones. Tiny libations of water or whiskey may be poured professional the be first to "Feed" the sign or it may be anointed from time to time with oil. In mega, some line even accept uncouthness from an write off divine intervention of the burial ground to be inflicted with the "Curious" stop as well as samples of uncouthness from elite seats such as banks, post offices, jails, hospitals, crossroads, etc.... to go beyond the uncouthness with the guide of energy of that place. By way of YOUR ANCESTOR-POT My Ancestor-Pot is the complete point of my Ancestor-Altar. Original the apartment place of the stop in the physical elevation, it is the place everywhere I convoy my eyes and straightforward my words such as I am conversing with them. In fact, I commonly get ideas, win complete, and inhibit from them.For part of a set, at one point I had a money mojo that was working very well for me. Trappings were goodbye so big I didn't mull complete I preference to maintain that mojo in the constituency of anymore so I put it to the allegation in a sudden box everywhere it was sharp gone. When my money luck soured I pulled the sudden mojo back out, tried to food it and get it working for me in imitation of aristocratic to no avail. Last but not least, I was having a mind with my Bloom who instructed me to place the mojo put away my Foretaste Pot for three days. Voluntary three days I jejune the money-drawing mojo-bag from the pot and it worked stronger than ever! In fact, the hugely day I standard a fat fluke. Sometimes such as a spell is defunct and I mull complete it wishes a sudden better-quality trace, I boost go on the wish that I formed for the spell and place it in the Ancestor-Pot, a bit than disposing of it. The hugely can be done with talismans, jewelry, and other event as well. In other instances, if I point of view that someone or no event which is touching with my working, or it wishes better-quality power I boost remove a candle from the altar everywhere it is prickly and place it unadulterated on the Ancestor-Altar. If I maintain an critic working averse me, or someone is bothering me I boost go on their image or name paper and place it unadulterated under the pot end down and ask the Bloom to carry them down. Believe Your stop are populate spirits fixed to you by blood and are your supreme powerful allies in the spirit world. Full of zip with the Bloom begins with the nature of an family altar which consists of white candles, plants, a opportunity of water, and mementos of mass relatives. This altar is everywhere you make sporadic promote to the Bloom, as well as dependable with them on a aim extract explaining what is goodbye on in your life, your wishes, and your requests.

By placing items in or in the constituency of the pot you can unadulterated suspend the energies of the Bloom in relation to your gift.

Thursday, 9 April 2009 Nostradamus Quatrains By Steve Englehart

Nostradamus" Steve Englehart

These are the Nostradamus quatrains that Team to carry a draining on the rest of the century. I highlight "test" to the same degree they're all open to shifting degrees of interpretation. In addition, I carry congeal them in an order that "seems" to shut in a logical story, but this is innocently MY interpretation. Nostradamus designed the quatrains compulsory to be rearranged to be affable, but I make no claims that this way is the rectify way.

Friday, 27 February 2009 How To Perfectly Know The Existence Of God

"

St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae"

It's common today to hear both believers and nonbelievers claim that the existence of God is ultimately unknowable, or at least unprovable. According to this view, we're left to take a leap of faith, or else to go with the option we think is more likely.

Classical theism rejects this idea completely. It claims to be able to prove the existence of God - to be able to prove, in fact, that He can't "not" exist. And what's amazing is that these theists seem capable of following through on this promise. There are several of these non-probabilistic arguments for the existence of God, but one of the strongest (and most misunderstood) is the argument from contingency. This is presented in St. Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways in the "Summa Theologiae", although Aquinas actually gives a better version of the same argument in the "Summa Contra Gentiles."

To see how the argument works, let's define two of our terms, and then lay out the two syllogisms that get us to a sure knowledge of the existence of God.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY "CONTINGENT" AND "NECESSARY"?

For this argument to make sense, we need to define a few terms; namely:

* CONTINGENT BEINGS are those being that only exist under particular conditions. They don't have to exist, and they don't always exist. Rather, they come into existence under particular conditions, and require certain conditions to continue to exist. Humanity, for example, requires air, water, carbon, and a whole host of other things. If any of these variables ceased to exist, so would we. In other words, contingent beings are things that could not-be. They exist, but only because certain conditions are met.

* NECESSARY BEINGS are the opposite. They exist necessarily. Or, if you'll excuse the double negative, necessary beings "couldn't "not-be. If there were some set of circumstances in which these beings could cease to exist, then their existence would be contingent, and they'd be up there in the first group. This means that necessary beings aren't capable of generation or corruption (that is, of being born or dying).

With that in mind, let's consider the two arguments that bring us to a sure knowledge of the existence of God:

ARGUMENT I: SOMETHING NECESSARY EXISTS

* STEP 1: WE SEE IN THE WORLD SOME THINGS THAT CAN BE AND NOT-BE.

In other words, we see contingent things all around us. We see birth and death, both in the literal sense for organic matter, and in the metaphorical sense: we see galaxies come into, and go out of existence, for example.

This should raise a question for us: "Why is there something, rather than nothing?" After all, seemingly everything we see could not-be. Keep that question in mind.

* STEP 2: EVERYTHING CONTINGENT HAS SOME OTHER CAUSE FOR ITS BEING.

Under particular circumstances, a tree will exist. But if those conditions aren't there, the tree will never come into existence; or, if it already exists, it'll go out of existence. So, for example, if the soil temperature suddenly increased a thousand degrees, your tree would quickly blink out of existence. But this means that the tree isn't the cause of its own being. If it were, it could never not-be, and would exist necessarily, not contingently.

And of course, this point isn't limited to trees. It's true of every contingent being, including you and I, the cosmos, etc. So if you say that X is a contingent being, then some conditions (Y) must exist for X to exist.

* STEP 3: THIS CAN'T GO ON INFINITELY.

"

Oculus Non Vidit, Nec Auris Audiuit" (17th c.)

("Eye has not seen, ear has not heard," a reference to 1 Corinthians 2:9)

If X requires Y to exist, and Y requires Z to exist, you can't just draw that chain out infinitely. At some point, you must arrive at something that DOES exist, and isn't dependent upon something else for its existence.

Another way to approach this question: what conditions are necessary for you to exist right now? We're talking about the kind of conditions that you literally can't live without, here are now. And there can't be an infinite number of them, or you (and everything else) wouldn't exist.

The branch you're sitting on may be connected to another branch, but at some point, it needs to meet up with something grounded, like a trunk. You can't just have an infinite chain of branches dangling in the air. If literally "everything" is contingent, there's nothing capable of bringing it from non-existence into existence, or keeping it in existence.

* CONCLUSION: THERE MUST BE SOMETHING NECESSARY.

If there's "nothing "necessary, you end up with the logically-impossible infinite regress described in step 3. So there must be something that "can't not exist".

Shrewd atheists will sometimes object at this point that this doesn't prove God. They're right; at this point, we've just shown that at least one thing "can't not exist". That could be God, or gods, or angels, or a Demiurge, or matter, or mathematical laws... or more than one of these things.

So we haven't proven monotheism yet. But we've still made some headway: many of the popular atheistic cosmologies actually fail to clear this first hurdle: they assume a universe in which everything comes about under the right conditions, but don't have anyway of accounting for those conditions (or hold that those conditions require other conditions, and so on...).

To get from "something necessary" to "God" requires a second line of argumentation.

ARGUMENT II: GOD EXISTS

* STEP 1: EVERY NECESSARY BEING EITHER (A) HAS ITS NECESSITY CAUSED BY SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF ITSELF, OR (B) DOESN'T.

As Aquinas put it, "every necessary thing either has its necessity caused by another, or not." What does this mean? Well, imagine a universe in which there were seven eternal angels. Incapable of being born or dying, they're in the category of necessary beings. But we're still left asking, "why do these angels exist"? The fact that they can't be born or die doesn't finish our inquiry, because it doesn't give an account of their existence. There could just as easily be a universe with a thousand such angels, or none.

So the necessity of these angels is caused by something else: some external cause must exist to account for their timeless existence. They're in category (a).

* STEP 2: IF ALL NECESSARY BEINGS WERE IN CATEGORY (A), YOU WOULD HAVE AN INFINITE REGRESS.

This is a parallel line of argumentation to what we saw in steps 2-3 of Argument I. If everything depends on something else for its existence, how does "anything "exist?

* STEP 3: THEREFORE, NOT EVERY NECESSARY BEING HAS ITS EXISTENCE FROM ANOTHER. A NECESSARY BEING EXISTS WHO HAS ITS NECESSITY THROUGH ITSELF AND SO IS THE CAUSE OF THE NECESSARY BEING OF ANY OTHER NECESSARY THING - WHICH BEING ALL CALL "GOD."

"

S'ebastien Bourdon, Moses and the Burning Bush" (1645)

Let's unpack those conclusions, one by one:

* A NECESSARY BEING EXISTS WHO HAS ITS NECESSITY THROUGH ITSELF: In other words, Something not dependent upon anything at all to exist. This Something literally "can't" not exist, in this or any possible universe. (If its existence was contingent upon a particular type of universe, we'd be right back in the infinite regress problems detailed above).

* A NECESSARY BEING WHO IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OTHER NECESSARY (AND CONTINGENT!) THINGS: Everything else we've talked about -- you and me and all contingent realities, as well as all the necessary realities in category (a) -- depends, either directly or indirectly, on this Something to exist. In other words, if this Something didn't exist, everything would instantly blink out of existence.

* THIS SOMETHING IS UNLIMITED BEING: This is implicit, but I wanted to draw it out explicitly. When we're talking about Something that exists necessarily, and isn't determined by anything else, we're talking about Something whose being is necessarily "limitless". (If its being were limited by some external cause, where does that cause come from?)

* THIS SOMETHING IS WHAT WE CALL "GOD": For those used to thinking of God as a created being, perhaps this seems like a big jump. But we've arrived at the existence of a Something that exists "by definition", and exists as "pure Being" or "unlimited Being." And that's the best definition of God, and the definition of God that He gives (see below).

What's brilliant about this is that "WE'RE NOT LEFT WITH A PROBABILISTIC ARGUMENT FOR GOD". We're not left saying, for example, "given how complex the universe is, it's 99% likely that it was designed by a deity" or something. Rather, we've concluded to a God that must exist, who literally can't not exist. And this conclusion both establishes God's existence, and starts to tell us something about Him.

Of course, it's important to realize the limitations of our approach. Necessarily, we're limiting ourselves to what we can know by reason alone. After all, it would be terribly circular to argue that God exists because the Bible says He does, and we can trust the Bible because God inspired it, etc.

That restriction really is a handicap, because certain things about God can "only" be known by revelation. For example, you could never arrive at the Trinity from reason alone. Indeed, if everything about God could be known fully by reason alone, there would hardly be any reason for revelation. So unaided reason gets us to the doorway, to see that there "is" a God. To find out more about this God, we need to let Him introduce Himself.

And quite fascinatingly, when He does so, in Exodus 3:14, it's as YHWH, "I AM WHO AM." In other words, what we see in revelation corresponds perfectly to what we concluded to by reason alone: a God "who exists by definition", and whose existence accounts for the existence of everything else in the universe.
