When looking at crystals, a lot of us see things of natural beauty and innate power. Then there are those among us who see nothing but a rock, it may look pretty but has no further value. They will then scoff at and deride the knowledge of those of us who believe in the power and magic of Crystals and use their physical and metaphysical properties to our advantage, These are the same people who blindly extol the virtues and benefits of our modern day technologies, with little to no thought of natures role in making these technologies possible.
Yet, many of the wonders of our daily lives that we take for granted owe their existence in some way to crystals and the mineralogical kingdom. Here are just a few examples:-
Keeping Time. In order to keep our lives on time and punctual we have come to depend very heavily on accurate time pieces. To do this most of our clocks and watches use Quartz movements. Until recently the world clock kept its time using a Quartz movement. Today it uses Atomic decay as the measuring device.
Our Computers. Imagine trying to operate in your modern lifestyle without one of these. Yet the main driving component of your computer is the silicon chip. Admittedly these are synthesized these days for uniformity and consistency, as Mother Nature doesn't make identical duplicates. But the very first one used in the prototypes were natural pieces of silicon dioxide; Quartz.
Lasers. At the core of our modern day miracle tools are Crystals, the two most commonly used are Ruby and Emerald. The medical fraternity has come to depend on these devises; which are used predominately in eye and cosmetic surgery.
Imagine the modern day builder without his laser level, or the speaker without his laser pointer.
Precision Bearings. Very fine tolerance technical tools depend on the crystal world to provide extremely durable bearings. At the cheaper end of the scale are Quartz and Garnet through to the more expensive Ruby, Emerald, and Diamond.
There are a great many other examples that can be used to demonstrate the use of crystals in our technologies and industry, but the short list above will be satisfactory for this article.
Let's look at some other uses; Mica is crushed up finely and provides the shine in the best brands of lipstick. Lapis Lazuli is still used (ground up of course) in some exclusive brands of eye shadow. It provides that deep blue/purple colour, very popular in Egyptian times.
And of course a variety of stones are crushed and included in many of today's orthodox ointments, tinctures and creams.
So why should it be surprising to these people when we talk of the Healing and magical properties of these same crystals, as we use them in our day to day life. If we go back to Biblical times, the Breast Plate of the High Priest was adorned with crystals selected for their peculiar energies and properties.
The Crown and Scepter of Royalty are decorated with crystals chosen, not for their beauty (as beautiful as they are), but for the energy and power they would afford.
A very interesting carry over from times past is in our use of jewellery. For example, Diamonds (known as a girl's best friend) are the most popular stone for engagement rings. These were originally used because of their power or property to join or bind one to the other. Gold bands were chosen as wedding rings as Gold carries the energy of and is a symbol for fidelity.
With just these few examples you can see that Crystals play a vital role in our daily lives, with more going on behind the scenes with crystals and gemstones than may first be realized. So if we can utilize them so well in our technologies, why shouldn't we be able to use them to enhance our spiritual and healing powers?
Of course, a lot of us already realize that these are powerful allies, to augment our spiritual lives and to assist in our healing.

We know that Jesus hand-me-down parables which are creative works of fabrication, at least, they are not involuntarily true.
But what about the Old Tombstone. Is it all full of allegories and stories that are not to be meant literally?
I would say no, it is not. To the same extent everything is to be had as history, it poverty be physical as such.
Peaceful, the Old Tombstone is deep in images and sometimes even allegory --
* The vision Nathan uses a tale in 2 Samuel 12 to teach David about his sin with Bathsheba. At a halt, it is fighting fit hand-me-down as such and poverty not be equated with stories such as Jonah and the supreme friend, which are fighting fit to be had as literal.
* The apocalyptic writings in Daniel, and the thoughts requiring interpretation in the life of Joseph, are fighting fit not to be believed rather but to be interpreted.
I friendship to strike to the standpoint that the Scriptures are romantic and true according to the authors' -- each everyday and divine -- importance. We poverty avert placing a misleading literalism or misleading sensitivity on Scripture but none is inevitable.
For part, if I say 500 people attended a church service, and additional life history says 512, is one of us lying? Not involuntarily. I may keep in check been totally using a heavy dimensions, and my importance may not to keep in check solution a mathematically gather dimensions. The other delegation who held 512, may keep in check been wishing to be gather. Apiece accounts may be held to be "TRUE".
A good part of this in Scripture is in the role of Luke or Paul in Acts says "FOR ALL THE ATHENIANS AND STRANGERS WHICH WERE PUT ON PASSED OUT THEIR TIME IN ZERO OVERLY, BUT EITHER TO UPFRONT, OR TO CLASP SOME NEW THING." If subject rather, they never ate, never slept, never went to the bathroom. But this was not the importance of the poet, and is cargo the secure words to an waste.
In some areas, it is testing to know acceptably how a verse poverty be interpreted. Is the tree of life in Sunrise rather a tree? Comatose in Scripture, it is hand-me-down allegorically -- see Proverbs.
Is the curve in Sunrise rather a snake? In Imagination 12:9 the dragon is revealed to be the curve, which in turn is revealed to be the devil.
We understand that Jesus IS the Ham of God; at the identical time, none of us would require that he is or was at any time a barnyard animal. Sometimes words are hand-me-down to emanate spiritual truths, and yet they can be true defective innate sincerely true, and yet first-class than totally a symbol. Occupation Jesus the Ham of God is not metaphorical; He really IS the Ham of God; it's totally that He's not a barnyard animal.
Scripture has a booming reputation to it, and, as we silhouette the new meeting, we poverty call in ourselves that under attack to understand it is one way we love God with all our minds as well as our hearts.
Conceivably we poverty all discharge to read the Bible first-class in the new year!
And That's The Way The Pill Bounces.
Symbol A woman in travail and the dragonA woman in travail and the dragon"Man child symbolizing an Adult man"REVELATION 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 AND SHE BEING WITH CHILD CRIED, TRAVAILING IN BIRTH, AND PAINED TO BE DELIVERED. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth A MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. REVELATION 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

SHALL THE EARTH BE MADE TO BRING FORTH IN ONE DAY?" OR" SHALL A NATION BE BORN AT ONCE? for as soon as ZION travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut "the womb"? saith thy God.JEREMIAH 31:22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN. 23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities ther, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of JUSTICE, and mountain of HOLINESS. 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities ther together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. 25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. JEREMIAH 30:4 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 ASK YE NOW, AND SEE WHETHER A MAN DOTH TRAVAIL WITH CHILD? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, AS A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7 Alas! for that day is great, SO THAT NONE IS LIKE IT: IT IS EVEN THE TIME OF JACOBS TROUBLE; BUT HE SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT. 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.MICAH 4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud?

"We're really multi-dimensional beings... we've got a lot going on." - Ann Eller
I've been there in my psychonautic travels -it's scary but wild, so let me tell you how it looks in this visualizing experiment:
1. You are looking at a computer screen reading this right now, right? It's flat, and even if there's a picture of a four-dimensional cube (above), it's still just 2-D in presentation. Now look at whatever's around the screen, the dimensions of the room or whatever's in your peripheral vision around the screen. Make note of everything in front of you, including the air between the screen and your eyes.
2. Now imagine that everything you see around the screen is a larger 2-D version of itself - like you were standing in front of a giant photograph of the screen, the area around it, etc.
3. Now close your eyes for a minute and think about what you see. You don't see pure blackness, do you? No, it's like an electric gray, like maybe a screen that's gone black but you can tell it's still on. Try to see if you can 'tune in' to the glowing screen on which lies these words, even with your eyes shut. Visualize the 2-D picture of the screen and the world around it. Now fold it! Quick, what's waiting behind it when you fold it in half, or roll it up like a poster? Who is the woman behind the man behind the man behind the curtain? Did you see her? Did she look like she had dozens of arms?
Outside time and space, time and space is meaningless, so for example you can go visit your friend by journeying into a tennis ball in your closet. The moon can be fit into a drop of water. The mansion of the biggest rock star is smaller than the head of a pin. And an eternity in hell can occur in a single second. A second of time is longer than a thousand years. In this land beyond time you are already dead and yet unborn, and your other lives are all connected to your every movement, each decision and variation spins out like an octopus or a many-armed Hindu deity.
A few years ago, I traveled into these dimensions regularly, and I was always confronted by the black hole effect. And what would you look like from far away if you were approaching a black hole? Imagine the way an arm moves up and down like you're pretending to flap your wings. Near a black hole, each micro-movement would be preserved in your vision, so the arm would look like six or seven arms, in fact like a Hindu deity, like this picture of Kali (left).
Note for example the multiple faces and arms and legs, and even the multiple heads of her victims. Clearly, this is a deity outside time-space, being witnessed by an enlightened observer.
Interestingly very few Ezekiel paintings convey the multiple faces aspect
This trans-dimensional vision is not uncommon. I've seen them, and so has Ezekiel, who noted the creature accompanying the 'wheel' had numerous animal and man faces:
"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst ther as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire."Also out of the midst ther came the likeness of four living and strange creatures. "And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings."One of the visions I had was of being in a roundish room that was like a giant living organism, like a big gas bag stomach that was inflating and deflating and the entire walls/lining of this gasbag room held grinning demon faces all alike, that seemed me as if they'd been sleeping a long time and were only barely aware I was in their space:
As I wrote in an earlier post, I was amazed when I received an invite from the Rubin Museum of Tibetan art that had a demon mask on the front, which looked EXACTLY like the face I'd seen in the vision, so I used it to create the best 2-D version I could, above.
Bearing all this in mind take another look at the space around your screen. Turn your chair or move all the way around so you have a 3-D surround view around your head. Now close your eyes and try to do the same thing, without moving your head, just look to the right or left of the black vibrant 'screen' behind your pupils. With the right medication or meditation practice you could adjust the focus of that bright black field behind your eyelids, and what you see might blow your mind.
Your third eye is like a TV set that flickers on by itself around four in the morning when you go into REM sleep, but is otherwise way out of focus and not on any particular channel. My big visionary moment was being able to 'tune' in the exact same vision with my eyes closed or open. With them open I was looking at my stereo and a candle as I sat in lotus position. With my eyes closed, the stereo was much bigger, the candle brighter, like a sun, the stereo like a far off plateau in a sacred valley, but it was the same.
That's the important difference that hangs up scientists. Outside the space-time illusion, all distances are nonexistent, informed only by perception which can be expanded and contracted until the universe is no larger than a speck of sand, and you can travel to California just by imagining it. Every movement of your arm resonates across the universe, through time and space, ala Kali above. That's why these pan-dimensional beings we call angels or 'aliens' are both extraterrestrial and earthbound at the same time. As Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is spread upon the earth but men do not see it. Perhaps it's because they've never taken Ethyl, or had a white light light spiritual awakening. Change your perceptions and traveling to Mars is no more of an effort than changing the radio station or watching the clock tick to a blithe standstill.

" I love reading about other people's astral projection experiences. It brightens my day to know that these people, like you and I, are actively seeking and actively "EXPERIENCING" these amazing journeys! Read about Lori's FIRST EVER ASTRAL PROJECTION JOURNEY here, then why don't you share yours with our community in the comments section below. LORI'S ASTRAL PROJECTION EXPERIENCE No matter what I forget in life, I will never forget my very first memory. I was of the age to be sleeping in a crib but still old enough to be able to climb out of it from time to time. My twin sister and I shared the crib together. Our mother told us we used to have to sleep with the top of our heads touching each other's no matter how many times she would try to rearrange us. My first memory began like this... I was hovering in my bedroom looking down from just under the ceiling as though I were near the surface of the ocean swimming around with the intent of exploration. I can remember the way the morning sun shined through the horizontal shutters of my bedroom window and the way our blue carpet looked underneath the furniture and scattered toys. As I was floating closer to my crib, I remember thinking "WHO AM I?" but not in words, rather in thought, because I didn't know how to speak quite yet. As floating closer to the crib I then awoke abruptly. I recall climbing out of my crib and running out my bedroom terrified. I wasn't sure where exactly I was going, but I knew I was searching for comfort. That's when I crawled into my mother's bed not even recognizing who she was, but I felt safe with her. That's all that this memory entails. For many years I believed that memory was my soul finding the body or host that will become my home. I have argued time and time again to others that it wasn't a dream. It was real. I even remembered that experience when I was a child too young to even contemplate what a soul was. For the longest time I questioned why would our souls come to us a year or more later than the time when we were actually born? After other similar incidents and much research of astral protection, astral travel, and out of body experiences (OBES), I now have a new perspective of my first memory. I don't believe that was my soul being born; I believe I have the ability to astral project intentionally and unintentionally.

The "New World Order (NWO)" is a euphemism for the prophesied one-world government that the future Antichrist will lead.
Thus, the proponents of this global, political movement - - at least those at the highest levels of power and influence - - are serving another god (our common enemy Satan), and they're attempting to pave the way and hasten his return
We should know all of that by now. What might be surprising to some of us is how even one of their own (one of the most vile human beings to have ever lived) admitted their true nature.
"He who does not carry demonic seeds within him will never give birth to a new world."
Adolf Hitler
The vault at the John Hay Library at Brown University is not exactly Hitler's bunker, but it is below ground and could endure a bomb blast. It's big. It's locked. And inside, one finds something fascinating.
No, the F"uhrer's not in there, but his books are - - lots of them. They've been there for 30 years. And inside one of them, a book on the occult, is a passage marked for special attention in Hitler's own hand that is chilling even today. But few know of this trove, much less look at it.
One notable subject represented in Brown's Hitler library is the occult. And the most requested book in the collection is "Magic: History, Theory and Practice (1923)" by Ernst Schertel. This book, as with some others, Hitler had marked.
In books like this one, we find Hitler's pencil repeatedly drawn to passages related to the connection between the scientific and the spiritual, between the material and the immaterial.
Hitler marked the margins of his books with vertical lines beside paragraphs or sentences he thought important. And one marked sentence in "Magic" is quite chilling, given Hitler's history:
"He who does not carry demonic seeds within him will never give birth to a new world."
Has anyone else noticed the sudden rise in "news" items pertaining to Hitler and Nazi Germany in recent weeks? Why is that? Why now? Why at all?
Just yesterday I also saw the headline "WEB SELLS WHAT IT SAYS IS HITLER'S HAIR," which should excite scientists worldwide who are interested in cloning now that PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS LIFTED THE BAN ON EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH just a day later.
Something for us to think about.

Below is a great interview [well, aside from some moronic blather from the interviewers] with Sara R'en'elik, Labelle Deesse Jr., and Labelle Deesse Sr. They are all active in the Haitian Vodou community in Monteal. The interview was conducted in 2008 by CTV.
In the interview there is reference made to a film festival that had just taken place in Montreal. Here is a link to more information about that: Voodoo: Montreal Haitian Film Festival (2008). There is also reference to an art exhibit, and here is a link to that: Voodoo: Art, Mystery or Religion?
The reason I'm posting this video is because of the very frank explanation of why Christian elements have been incorporated, at least superficially, in Haitian Vodou, given by Labelle Deesse, Jr.
[0:20] Announcer: "Some consider Vodou to be an actual religion, but others call it witchcraft. Debra Arbec investigates."
Debra Arbec: "To the uninitiated, images like these represent darkness, witchcraft, blasphemy. But for those who practice Haitian Vodou that's the hollywood version.... [2:10] As a French colony, Catholicism was forced onto African slaves in Haiti."
Mambo Labelle Deesse, Jr.: "We had no choice to combine the Catholics with our own culture, so we don't get killed."

If you want to bring back a lover and you're not getting anywhere, you might be going about it the wrong way. Perhaps your wish to reunite with an ex could be helped by a little Magic!
In order to return a lover to you, you usually need to do the opposite to what you are doing. In order to return, an ex will probably have to have a change of heart, and be convinced that the reason they left in the first place was a mistake.
Your ex will have to be reminded of your true qualities. However, if you pester them by begging them to return, or if you wallow in self pity, and hide away hoping to make them feel sorry for you, it's likely that this will have the opposite effect to what you want, and your ex lover could be driven further away.
Ironically, the best way to influence your ex is to show them that you are not bothered, and that you are able to live a full and happy life without them. How many times have we seen it? Not only in films and television, but in real life too. Someone dumps their partner, and then sees them again a few months later, looking gorgeous, having a great time, and often on the arm of an interesting new partner.
This is the most powerful persuasion for any ex, and the best jealousy-inciting formula to cause them to start desperately wanting you back.
It's not easy though, getting this confidence and inner beauty to be able to get on with your life and look like you are enjoying it. But if you do, it will make you so much more attractive than a grieving, dumped ex member of a former couple, and able to attract the attentions of others - including your ex.
Magic spells are mysterious powerful energies that affect us and the world we live in, in mysterious and inexplicable ways.
If you've left the text messages, if you've filled the answer phone, if you've written the notes, if you've listened to the silence - it's probably time to cast a spell.
How to Cast a Spell to Bring Back a Lover
This Reunite Love Spell will help to draw back a lost love.
On a night of the Waxing Moon, gather together on a plate some sage, some salt, a small pink or white candle. If you have them, also gather the Lovers Tarot card, and a picture or keepsake of your ex.
Touch a flame to the sage to make it smoke and light the candle.
Say aloud 3 times:
By the power of the Air to the East
The Earth to the North, Water at West
And Fire in the South, I blow
Bring back my Lover and
Make it So!
So mote it be
Next, relax yourself and take some deep breaths. Imagine and visualise you and your ex happily walking together, hand in hand.
If you really want someone back, you should do all you can to get them back - and don't forget Magic!
