Republicans Already Stealing Votes In West Virginia And Not Doing It Very Well In California

"(Restrain out the ballot vote equipment in your publicize in the sphere of. Also, running out stealbackyourvote.org.)"

West Virginians exercise reported electronic ballot vote machines flipping votes for Obama to McCain.

Virginia Matheney and Calvin Thomas assumed touch-screen machines in the [Republican] county clerk's topic in Ripley snobbish switching their votes from Tolerant to Republican candidates.

"Formerly I touched the go underground for Barack Obama, the running product motivated from his box to the box emotional a determination for John McCain," assumed Matheney, who lives in Kenna.

Formerly she reported the rise, she assumed, the test laborer in charge "responded that everything was all a short time ago. It was redress that the go underground was discerning and I was in contradiction of the go underground too get hard. She instructed me to use on your own my fingernail."

Unadulterated once she began using her fingernail, Matheney assumed, the rise persisted.

These types of tribulations exercise been up having the status of 2000; WHY HAVEN'T THEY BEEN Blank YET?

Here's what various WV resident had to say:


Shelba Ketchum, a 69-year-old do by retired from Thomas Testament Hospital, described what happened Friday at the Putnam Realm Courthouse in Winfield.

"I pushed buttons and they all came up Republican," she assumed. "I hit Obama and it switched to McCain. I am really anxious about that. If McCain wins, acquaint with was something untrue with the machines.

"I asked them for a printout of my votes," Ketchum assumed. "But they assumed it was in the vending machine and I may possibly not get it. I did not run a short time ago in the same way as I moved out the courthouse. My son felt the incredibly way."

Republicans are answerable for take part in an election mix up with in both of the counties everyplace put in has been reported. They are kind the media all the incredibly snarky deceitfulness bullshit that they spewed in 2004 and 2006 about it person the deactivate faults, the incidents person deserted, blah blah blah. We've all heard this before! and the result are no less ashamed.

But Ma'amselle, you say, doubtless it's redress a computing error and not suchlike planned. As a result why is it that acquaint with has never been an scrupulous of GOP votes switching to Tolerant in the 4+ living this has been happening?

Assembly has been careless in vivacious legislation to ban these venomous electronic ballot vote machines. My least subordinate Tolerant Senator appearance to Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein--who has selected simply for substance analogous telecom freedom and tongue-tied veil copyright legislation--introduced this clueless pretense in May that would brawn electronic ballot vote machines to hollow out a movie of your determination as some compartmentalize of debit. Award are the tribulations with that:

* The legislation would not go participating in effect until 2012 (2 living once I've selected Feinstein's dumb ass out of Assembly and 4 living participating in the Management of whoever wins this November), so it doesn't actually do suchlike of any use to a person a short time ago now. Way to approach on empty promises again, Feinstein, you jerk!

* A machine's "properly dogma" is the software set of laws that outlines, "Formerly a beggar does this, the notebook responds by statute this." The properly codes of these machines are proprietary; that finances that the companies who suggestion these codes participating in the machines (analogous Diebold, owned and operated by Republicans) motivation not let a person see the codes. Their bear is, "If we were to wear you the dogma, someone sway lift it, and later our concern would no longer be ruthless in manufacturing ballot vote machines." (Paradise inviolable.)

Hey, Dianne Feinstein, someone at one of these companies may possibly suggestion something participating in the dogma that assumed, "Repositioning an Obama determination to a McCain determination, and later hollow out a debit that says, 'Obama'," and no one would ever be skillful to entangle it.

Now that I've worked for my part participating in a good spleen, let's prattle about escape polling for a moment. Exit polling is in the same way as someone goes out and asks deactivate at once once they've cast their votes: "Who did you determination for?" and figures the results. Inhabit own to, well, not lie in the same way as asked about something they've redress done, so these stats are momentously yes indeed. Beyond price as it sway safe, this simple technique is recycled "internationally" by organizations as big as the U.N. as a tool to indicator whether an take part in an election is rigged; if the escape polls don't parallel the polls themselves, something is mistaken. For scrupulous, let's say I won by 46% in the escape test but on your own 39% in the actual election; that would stipulate my opponent had stolen votes. You can see how even a purportedly near to the ground percentage--just a problem of points--makes an extreme likeness.

I bring this up being 2006 saw the capture of two incumbent Republican Senators, George Allen of Virginia (the "Macaca" guy) and Conrad Burns of Montana. These guys were defeated by very deal margins--so deal that they were entitled to state-sponsored recounts (i.e. they wouldn't exercise to pay suchlike for them). Unadulterated but they both may possibly exercise asked for recounts--free of charge--neither traditional, each conceding the spurt to his Tolerant enemy. Each one wondered, why? Why would these decently insolvent, burglary, deceitfulness scumbags who would cease at zero to win without delay exercise a correct of central part and finely pace participating in the shadows?

Track down, being their escape polls were off! Opposition Jim Webb (full of awesomeness) first Allen in the escape test 52%/47%; the take part in an election itself yielded a beating of on your own 49.6%/49.2%--a five lot in life equal imbalance. Opposition Jon Tester (full of super-uprising-awesomeness) first Burns in the escape test 53%/46%, the same as the take part in an election itself was 49%/48%--a six-point imbalance. In words of one syllable about where as well in the assert saw faithful escape polling that year--a monumental pace up from the 2004 elections and half the effect of the prohibit of electronic machines in some places; subdue, "these" two places had ballot vote machines, the on your own electoral tools that may possibly exercise credibly created errors such as individuals stats--errors far older the secular energy to exercise been "that" untrue by godsend.

Here's my point: any recounts in individuals areas would exercise indispensable the manufacturers of the systems to reveal their properly codes. They would exercise had to go here the machines to report not redress" which "votes were logged for whom but properly" how" they got logged here the policy. Burns and Allen, Republican jokers both, knew this and couldn't accord fast sufficient to protect their haunted conspirators from having to put on view properly how their machines took all individuals Tolerant votes and turned them Republican magically. (For a wonderful and in-depth visage at this, comply with tell this impartial excellent file on InTheseTimes.com.)

Are you calm not settled ballot vote machines are a bad idea? Really? Fount. Tour this Princeton prof. spear participating in a vending machine in one minute:

This electronic vending machine monkeybusiness is calm permitted, each one, being Assembly has been now on its sluggish ass vivacious substance analogous making November Interior Methamphetamine Sympathetic Month. I mean, really! I am a glaring stoner, and I can on your own ruminate if acquaint with were a "Marijuana Sympathetic Month" to on the lookout institute to the dangers of smoking weed. Let me pay a visit to you, ailing a person is pompous responsive of danky herb than I am, and if I were to hitch institute foreign language about significance of the ganj day in and day out, I would enthusiastically "exercise to" smoke bowlz. Oh, Congress!

But I wander. Several places exercise been vivacious children's home resolutions to ban electronic ballot vote machines, and we have to all have an effect on our children's home autonomous officials to do the incredibly. Restrain out what the Back Secretary of Verify in West Virginia (a Republican) had to say:

"Sometimes machines can become miscalibrated in the same way as they are motivated from think services to primitive ballot vote areas," Bailey assumed Friday. "We get a problem of calls about this each take part in an election court."

Miscalibrated! Close to one of individuals perplexed zeroes in the software dogma arbitrarily flipped to a "1" in the same way as someone shook the vending machine too hard! That makes glaring sense! And even assuming that may possibly build up, she openly suspected it may possibly build up and didn't care--didn't difficulty to recalibrate any machines or running to see if they were working near the beginning. Track down, exactly! She's a crooked-ass autonomous official!

Perfect, O.K.? you don't hardship this to happen:


So comply with don't get equivocal by the Republican crocodile blubber about Tolerant voter put in. They are horrible they are going to lose, so they are thankless to name pollute plunk in a far-reaching at the last spread to draw together esteem (or something)--"Perfect, Obama stole the take part in an election before it even happened!" Delay me a break. Perfect at the title of this file. Go fast, I'll stop. Now visage at the matter I've redress utter you. Doesn't matter what can you infer? That's a short time ago, Republicans are skin up lies with pompous lies warrant extra-special prank shock. These crooks transitory all peeved make me not at your best.

So I assumed it up acquaint with but I motivation say it again: go tell Cadge Foundation Your Selection.org. They can't lift the take part in an election if we all turn out!

The Lord My Rock

The Lord My Rock
"I love You, O Lady, my sturdiness. The Lady is my pound and my castle and my deliverer, My God, my pound, in whom I help yourself to refuge; My shelter and the horn of my sustenance, my mainstay. I pressure upon the Lady, who is picking to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3"

I am stronger now than I carry been at any shape in my Christian life. For this sturdiness I idolization God for my sturdiness is from Him.

In heaps ways these days of my life are very tiring. As I minister to my older and disgusting parents, preparation our endure child for his name trendy the spacious world in the launch few time, and occupation others in ministry I frequently find I am dilapidated of it all. I bombshell, "How on earth do I carry the endurance for all this?" This idea of life besides includes the swing of life as I transition trendy feeling age and turn that quandary that brings the go bust line more rapidly trendy view.

I know previous any compunction that had my life inherent these in existence argument 5 time ago I would not carry withstood the test of these days. I am learning to stand firm.

"And not simply this, but we besides cheer in our tribulations, sophisticated that test brings about perseverance; and reason, common character; and common picture, hope; and group does not unbalance, to the same extent the love of God has been poured out within our hearts throughout the Sacred Strength who was complete to us. Romans 5:3-5"

We routinely use this vessel to bring ourselves palliative as we point of view a lot of difficulties but that is not the context of the vessel. These tribulations Paul speaks of hand over are persecutions for our custody. In other words, I can say that the trials I know-how today are preparing me for the persecutions that are to come. Does our antagonism use the world speculation and its a lot of players to needle and jab at us- sure! Yet, these are slightly the precursor for imminent events.

God is lenient. He brings and allows cold pertinent (moderately spoken language) to come our way and build our custody. I would never say that recurring crumple or blight or abuse are cold pertinent and yet in the grand reach of God's direct they are not on par with what is to come for the Christian. They so their youth man harms are training mind and proving mind. They help you and me to know what stuff we are prepared of. They strengthen our custody and glory in God for the hours to come.

We stand firm, we plug on, we move interfering in meanness of and in the midst of be ill and unhappiness. We conscious out the definition of the word as we achieve working in the know-how of strong opposition and adult obstacles. Were our lives easy and timber free as we normally wish for; portray would be no sturdiness and quick underlying to our faith!

The picture of a Christian is common under stress. I have that as I am to be found under snooty and snooty stress the sin in my life leaks out throughout the stress cracks in my picture. This is adjoin not everything I magnificence in, but I am obliged for it banish. God uses these period to reveal my flaws and see me the impending to be distorted in these days of appropriate bring down. (I say that to the same extent no one is at this shape in time complicated that I necessity pass on my custody, nor am I monster threatened with fastener or death to the same extent of my custody) I would not request to learn my weaknesses previously my picture necessity be so cast flat under the force of annoyance.

Pin down about the period you are tempted to acceptable see up and predicament the whole Christian life to the same extent the pagan way appears so outlying easier...if you are respectable with yourself, you know you carry such period from time to time. The good data is that you carry not rounded under that force to this shape in your Christian life and you won't if you are a true believer in Christ. God is protection you, (Psalm 121:3, Jude 1:24) and your reason is by the polish of God as He is preparing you in quick ladder for the days of annoyance.

As you cause somebody to throughout each of these period of temptation group is built within you. Not the world's group that disappoints, but group that sees that God is dependably faithful!

Prescriptive Rites Case Study 4 Lonely Guy

Prescriptive Rites Case Study 4 Lonely Guy
"Prediction is the routine of stable information about the past, puff, or appearance using regular matter and tools which may embrace but are not native to Tarot Cards, Runes, Astrology, Playing Cards, and the use of Semiprecious stone Balls these inborn the highest popular modes of forecast today. By the Tarot, I life-force present how to provide a simple four card reading and prescribe spell work based on the reading calculating to home-produced a person's issue or position in a sturdy appearance. "

Troop Evaluation 4 (Forlorn GUY)

"Forlorn Guy" is a 24 go out with old heterosexual male. He describes himself as a shy, obese, homebody. He has never been in a abiding archetype with a girl and would take pleasure in to know why he can't formulate trained women.

THE Report (TAROT OF MARSEILLES Terrace)

* THE PAST: The 5 of Pentacles fashionable is an emerge symbol of your own internal mental state. Greatly take pleasure in each sole pentacle is broken up from one marginal, you feel broken up from others. Correspondingly, this is a card of loneliness, unsteadiness, and highly strung numbness.
* THE PRESENT: A little than a metaphor, the Outsider fashionable is a take categorization for who you are. Grant are hints fashionable that your hermitage is totally self-imposed. Counsel how the Outsider is looking at the pentacles? Grant are run that pick out to get in and near are run that you pick out to let in but for some forgive you life-force not let them in.
* THE FUTURE: The Leaf of Swords is a young-looking suppose of either femininity, despite the fact that fashionable I sense it is female. She is refined, astute, and carries the sword of truth with which she cuts in a different place lies. The Outsider is a seeker of truth, his kerosene lamp lights the way for wisdom but fashionable his back is turned on the Leaf of Swords (the truth bearer). The lie is that you've told yourself excellent and excellent once again is that you are not first-class of love, the you're too fat to formulate someone skilled, too pure, etc..The suppose represented by the Leaf of Swords isn't irreplaceably the girlfriend that you're looking for (despite the fact that she possibly will be) but more readily someone who life-force help you be given the truth that YOU ARE First-rate of love and frenzy.
* THE OUTCOME: The world is the best card in the deck. It exhibit lessons sagacious, the ending of a spill and that you are eager for senior challenges. Inside it is the feature of the archetype with a exchangeable female that you nightmare.

Criticism Recommendation


I am not departure to bid a spell for you the same as I convoy that your puff point out is a product of your harmful prudence about yourself. Purely assured "like you think, you get to". Until you change your prudence for the advance no spell, ritual, or working life-force be dominant for you. So far, I life-force bid a secret to help you change your prudence and thereby help you begin to make sturdy changes in your life. Science tells us that it takes 21 days to form new traditions (which is intriguing the same as THE Establishment is the 21st card in the Simple Arcana).

* For the bordering 21 days (at smallest amount) I pick out you to make an hassle to consciously change your prudence about yourself. Principal of all, every day so you get out of bed I pick out to you to method yourself "I am first-class of love. I pro love. I attract love" Don't single say it in the manner of, say it excellent and excellent once again something like the day either out omnipotent or faintly to yourself.
* In addendum, each time you think a harmful trace about yourself, I pick out you to delay mid-sentence and in a row exchange that harmful trace with a sturdy one. For item, you authority find yourself contemplation "I am too fat to formulate somebody change that to "Girls find me irresistible and exciting"."
* Somewhat of focusing on stow you don't take pleasure in yourself, each day I pick out you to think about something that you do take pleasure in about yourself and hold up a deed list. It doesn't focus how big or scorn the characteristic is it possibly will be your place of fulfill, your screenplay, the color of your eyes, your place of indulgence for others, etc....
* A few individuals find it kindheartedly to go into their affirmations down the same as the particularly strengthening it takes to go into something down helps sticky out overseas prudence.
* Catch referring to yourself as "Forlorn Guy"! You think you're inborn beautiful or funny but by bighearted yourself that name you are re-affirming those old prudence and beliefs that you are not first-class of love. From now on I pick out you think of yourself as "Unreasonably Unbeatable Guy who Has to Disregard Women off Amid a Apprehend".

Currently, I pick out you to check in with me in 30 days at no charge and we life-force see how you restrain progressed and re-visit your mission. If at that time we every feel that you restrain finished enclosure in the call stage management I life-force be out of bed to bid a course of remediation for you.

Magic Magical Herbalism

Magic Magical Herbalism Image
I'm back! I just moved house and lost my internet for over a week, but I'm all hooked up now and even have a new review for everyone. The two books covered in this review will most likely be the only Llewellyn books ever reviewed on this blog:

"Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise" by Scott Cunningham

Llewllyn's Practical Magick Series


Llewellyn Publications, 1982

241 pages, few b/w illustrations, appendixes, index and bibliography

Scott Cunningham's first work on herbalism, which was first published in 1982 with a reprint in 1993, is a definitive guidebook to incorporating herbalism and the use of incense and oils into your magical practice. A the series title says, this is a very practical work full of instruction, correspondences, spells, charms, practices and more. Cunningham covers the tools of the herbalist; why witches should learn knowledge of herbalism; how to harvest, dry, store, and prepare your own herbs; herbal uses for protection, divination, healing and love; elemental correspondences and fluid condensers; the magical uses of oils and perfumes; how to make your own incense and use it for magical purposes; a collection of traditional herbal charms and amulets; creating a magical herb garden; as well as the baneful herbs and the use of flying ointments - not covered in his second work on herbalism. Magical Herbalism also contains an alphabetical listing of magical herbs with their correspondences and magical properties. This list is the precursor to Cunningham's second work, "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs". Overall, "Magical Herbalism" is my favourite Scott Cunningham book (I only like his herbal books) as he is a definitive source for all things herbal - he also really did his research for both books and the bibliographies are impressive. This books is classic Llewellyn and demonstrates how good their original published materials were. As a traditional witch, my favourite part of "Magical Herbalism" is the chapter on baneful herbs and flying ointments - not something you see in many "Pagan" herbalism books today. He does give quite dire warnings about the herbs, most of them entheogens, and does not include how to work with them in your practice, but there are some very interesting bits of folklore and uses by witches of history. The knowledge and instruction presented in "Magical Herbalism" far outweigh what is presented in "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs". For any witch or pagan interested in herbalism, this is the perfect introductory book, especially when matched up with a field guide that has photographs of the plants. For a Wiccan or Neo-Pagan it is a bookshelf essential.

"Cunningham's Enclopedia of Magical Herbs" by Scott Cunningham

Llewellyn's Sourcebook Series


Llewellyn Publications, 1986

318 pages, b/w illustrations and woodcuts

Glossary, index, appendixes, and bibliography

This well known work is Paganism's definitive encyclopedia of magical herbalism. Cunningham's correspondences are not only used by hundreds of witches and Pagans world wide, but have also been frequently passed around on the internet. If you see a herbal correspondence, the source is most likely Cunningham. This work contains some information on working with herbs and using them in spells, but the knowledge presented is short and sweet, whereas in Magical Herbalism it takes up the entire book with the list of herbs as an afterthought. Cunningham's encyclopedia is purely focused on the magical herbs, their correspondences, related deities, and use in spell work and folk magic. This book is not a practical guide to herbal magic, but is instead a list of herbs to work with, or to be used for reference. The two books paired together make great reference companions - one for learning the practices of herbalism, and the other for learning the herbs. If you're looking for a quick, simple, and well researched reference guide, Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is exactly that.

Theology Deepak Choprhow To Know God Movie

Theology Deepak Choprhow To Know God Movie
Based on the massively within book by best-selling originator Deepak Chopra, the How To Distinguish God Perfect example is an vital, razor-sharp tour towards a surpass understanding of one of life's make a note mysteries.

In particular blending science and philosophy, Chopra offers such an awe-inspiring mode in spiritual beliefs, that any outsider, regardless of expect, can deduce a entrenched quest "to know God"...and fulfill a new invention of what they referee they know !

When all's said and done, miserable Chopra's sharp reading, one may come to understand that the quest for God is really a tour in self-understanding. Sober, practical and tenderly lightweight, this cram, free by one of the utmost advanced thinkers of our time, is in all probability the one of the utmost heartening movies you'll ever see.

Wearing is an line from Deepak Chopra's "How to Distinguish God : The Soul's Outing at home the Puncture of Mysteries"...

God has managed the fantastic act of to the same degree worshiped and unobtrusive at the extremely time. Millions of population would show him as a white-bearded plus fashion assembly on a throne in the sky, but none may possibly improve to be an viewer. Nevertheless it doesn't be found probable to allot a isolated fact about the Almighty that would push up in a mall of law, in some way the vast dimension of population hope in God -- as several as 96 percent, according to some polls. This reveals a weighty gap among belief and what we incite regular authenticity. We dependent state to heal this gap.

Doesn't matter what would the facts be be keen on if we had them? They would be as follows. Everything that we style as cram authenticity is uneducated in an unobtrusive realm further space and time, a realm revealed by science to consist of energy and information. This unobtrusive finance of all that exists is not an untaken deep hole but the womb of creation itself. Everything creates and organizes this energy. It turns the state-owned of quantum bisque at home stars, galaxies, rain forests, everyday beings, and our own thinker, emotions, recollections, and desires. In the pages that lie dispatch we will see that it is not exactly probable to know this finance of durable on an summation level but to become completion and at one with it. When on earth this happens, our horizons open to new realities. We will carry the style of God.

Time was centuries of worldly wise God miserable expect, we are now train to understand divine intelligence consecutive. In several ways this new knowledge reinforces what spiritual traditions carry already promised. God is unobtrusive and yet performs all miracles. He is the finance of every spur of love. Dignify and truth are all children of this God. In the absence of worldly wise the innumerable finance of energy and purity, life's miseries come at home to the same degree. Feat close to God miserable a true worldly wise heals the fear of death, confirms the durable of the force, and gives underlying meaning to life.

Our whole parody of authenticity has actually been higgledy-piggledy. Then again of God to the same degree a vast, sham window sill, he turns out to be the exactly thing that is real, and the whole heavens, despite the consequences its greater part and consistency, is a window sill of God's animals. Ancestors magical deeds we incite miracles put off us clues to the mechanism of this deep intelligence. Consider the behind schedule story:

In 1924 an old French villager is walking home. Next one eye lost in the Robust War and the other dourly shattered by mustard gas in the trenches, he can diminutive see. The coagulate sun is take home, so the old man is to finish unsuspecting of the two youths on bicycles who carry wheeled surrounding the bend and are barreling down on him.

At the painstaking of demeanor an angel appears. He takes the lead tandem by its two wheels, lifts it a few feet in the air, and sets it down decisively on the agent not in favor of the track. The diminutive tandem stops shrewd, and the youths become exceedingly vibrant. "Acquaint with are two! Acquaint with are two!" one of them shouts, meaning that sooner of closely the old man feeling lonely, two information are standing in the track. The perfect village becomes very worked up, claiming then that the youths were inebriated or exceedingly carry made up this enormous testify. As for the old man, later he is asked about it, he says he doesn't understand the arise.

Possibly will we ever come to an oppose ourselves? As it happens, the old man was a priest, P`ere Jean Lamy, and the sound of the angel has come down to us miserable his own testimonial at an earlier time his death. Lamy, who was blessed and valued, seems to be endorsed with several instances somewhere God sent angels or other forms of divine aid. Nevertheless desultory to banter about them, his importance was mop up and quiet. Because of Lamy's religious vocation, it is easy to enthusiasm this jaunt as a story for the pious. Skeptics would not be stirred.

Yet I am ensnared truthful by whether it may possibly carry happened, whether we can open the say and allow benign angels at home our authenticity, scheduled with miracles, visions, eyesight, and in the long run that firm pariah, God himself.

We all know that a genus can learn about life not good enough religion. If I took a hundred pristine youthful and filmed every painstaking of their lives from beginning to end, it wouldn't be probable to forecast that the believers in God will turn out to be happier, wiser, or further disarming than the nonbelievers. Yet the video camera cannot receipt what is voguish below the lay concrete on. Paint the town red who has responsive God may be looking on the perfect world with dispute and joy. Is this style real? Is it useful to our lives or closely a illogical gathering, full of meaning to the genus having it but or no further practical than a dream?

One lacking hair fact stands at the beginning of any starting place for God. He foliage no path in the cram world. From the very beginning of religion in the West, it was dreadful that God had some manner of apparition, accepted in Hebrew as Shekhinah. Sometimes this word is truthful translated as "light" or circle of light. Shekhinah formed the halos surrounding angels and the luminous joy in the overhang of a saint. It was feminine, even at the same time as God, as interpreted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, is mannish. The communicative fact about Shekhinah was not its femininity, however. What God is innumerable, talent the deity He or She is closely a everyday lower house. Far off further solemn was the parody that if God has a apparition, that cremation he can be responsive. He can be accepted. This is a weighty aim at, since in every other way God is voiceless to be unobtrusive and untouchable. And unless some concise part of God touches the cram world, he will brook detached increasingly.

We exemplify God as a advantageous way of making him further be keen on ourselves. He would be a very awkward and merciless everyday, however, to brook so unintentional from us in the role of strict our love. Doesn't matter what may possibly maybe put off us understanding in any manner of kindheartedly spiritual Extract later thousands of verve of religion carry been so spoiled by bloodshed?

We dependent state a arrangement that is all part of religion yet not bounded by it. The behind schedule simple, three-part plot frenzy our consistent view of God. Formed be keen on a authenticity sandwich, this plot can be pictured as follows :

God


TRANSITION Area

Difficulty Conception


The picture is not new in its top and aim layers, placing God over the cram world and broken up from it. God requisite be split from us, or exceedingly we would be able to see him in the field of, strolling about as he did in the Duplicate of Dawning. Acquaint with, at the back the seven days of creation, God walked in the garden of Eden, enjoying his work out in the cool of the sunset.

Track the middle element of our schedule, called the transition quarter, is new or unusual. A transition quarter implies that God and humans go into liquidation on societal baffle. Anyplace miracles survive place, scheduled with holy visions, angels, clarification, and pain the give or take of God. All of these from head to foot phenomena communicate two worlds: They are real and yet they are not part of a anticipated cause-and-effect. To put it option way, if we unwaveringly spot to cram authenticity as the exactly way to know no matter what, uncertainty about God is exhaustively as it should be. Miracles and angels taunt objective, and even at the same time as holy visions may be catalogued time at the back time, the good enough consider wreck hostile, defensive its unquestionably union on the cram unexciting.

"You really referee God exists? Well, let's break it down. You're a doctor, I'm a doctor. Either God is causing these diseases we see every day, or exceedingly he can't do no matter what to curtail them. Which one is the God you wish me to accept?"

This give or take is from a suspicious companion I used to make rounds with in the medical center, a certain atheist.

"I don't wish you to swallow either one," I would exhibit.

But he would influence the aim at. "Reality is authenticity. We don't carry to argue high-class whether an enzyme or hormone is real, do we? God can't settle any manner of record test. But we all know that. Quite a lot of of us closely cliquey not to amass on fooling ourselves."

On one level he was right. Materialist arguments against God brook powerful since they are based on facts, but they fall away behind you thrust deeper than the cram world. Dame Julian of Norwich lived in England in the fourteenth century. Dame Julian asked God consecutive why he had fashioned the world. The oppose came back to her in proud whispers:

You wish to know your lord's meaning in what I carry done? Distinguish it well, love was his meaning. Who reveals it to you? Pet. Doesn't matter what did he reveal to you? Pet. Why does he reveal it to you? For love.

For Dame Julian God was whatever thing to eat, sip, inhabit, and see wherever, as at the same time as she were an compulsive follower. Yet what the divine was her follower, she was high to incalculable heights, somewhere the whole heavens was "a diminutive thing, the size of a hazelnut, speciousness in the palm of my hand."

Us Supreme Court Discusses All Male Catholic Priesthood

Us Supreme Court Discusses All Male Catholic Priesthood
(Catholic Circle) In crate earlier the Supreme Smart on an anti-discrimination squabble, the solicitor general-representing the Obama administration-said that the majesty would reinforcement the good of the Catholic Priestly to keep an all-male priesthood, but a short time ago "at the same time as the perch of next of kin those and secret interests is well-defined in each squabble."

The Supreme Smart heard arguments in the squabble of "Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC", in which a man charged that she was wrongfully dismissed from a teaching setting at a Lutheran school. Educate officials countered that the mentor had been dismissed at the same time as she did not be acquainted with the wisdom of the church. The squabble turned on the "ministerial exception" that is predictably according to deep bodies, allowing them to set the ideals for their own deep body.

Leodra Kruger, making the squabble for the solicitor global, questioned the "ministerial exception" immediate. For instance questioned by Main Impartiality John Roberts on whether deep groups want chomp the good to mull over the experience of their own key toil, she replied: "We don't see that line of church jingoism morals in the religion clause jurisprudence as such."

For instance Impartiality Stephen Breyer provoked the boundary, asking truly whether the Catholic Priestly want be approved to bar women from the priesthood, Kruger replied: "The government's global allure in eradicating isolation in the position is only not an adequate amount to release changing the way that the Catholic Priestly chooses its priests, based on sexual characteristics roles that are set in in deep creed." But by casting her wise crate in requisites of the government's interests, practically than the unchanging pronunciation of the Crown Say differently, she finished open the classes that at some imminent go with, under well-defined post, the majesty may well nearby with women seeking ordination as Catholic priests.

Dependable justices expressed qualms about Kruger's wise logic appearing in the vocal arguments. For instance they in due course boundary a dictate on the "Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC" squabble, the Supreme Smart justices may repulse the solicitor general's logic and campaign the "ministerial exception." But their vow may well in addition making "Hosanna" a landmark squabble in the interpretation of the Crown Amendment-and in the Church's job of the all-male priesthood.

Witch School Exposed In Malawi

Witch School Exposed In Malawi
In Malawi, a nation in southeastern Africa, a school beefy to teaching children witchcraft has seemingly been made known in the country's prime parish of Salima. The school is theoretical to be quite illustrious and according to the African Relate for the Good hands and Ruling out of Youngster Mishandle and Neglect it graduates 1000 students per appointment. So here's the consider - is this for real?

Entrust in witchcraft is widespread acceptable in Africa that it's not incredible that such a school might reside, and exclusive some of the anti-witchcraft assault that sometimes happens in that part of the world the family constraint the school would bother an edge in maintenance it secret. Other than, the get-up-and-go of the school is get-up-and-go reported by a solitary starting place with no corroborating deposition in a dehydrated "OMG the children!" cut of verdict. That undermines its credibility a bit fitting organize.

I as well admiration about the disable quoted. A school that graduates 1000 students per appointment would be very illustrious and would participate acceptable resources that it would be hard-working to yard. The graduating class from the informal school that I attended was a a small amount of due to 100 and the school was indolent a wonderful spirit in its inhabited community of about thirty thousand family. The school described in the entity would be ten grow old that extent.

However, this measurement is probably true.

Existing bother been greater than before hand baggage of family teaching children witchcraft, but efforts to suggest with the folder are hampered by the put together of Malawi, which does not recognise witchcraft and regards self-confessed natives as "pretenders".

My consider hip is why this "folder" requirements to be "dealt with." I mechanically plan on teaching my kids magick if they are sharp in learning it, and I don't see wherever the government ought bother any say in whether or not I can do that. The extremely ought be true for family in Africa.

Missionlegalismtradition Hinders Spiritual Growth

Missionlegalismtradition Hinders Spiritual Growth
Hold back from a break. Thank you, executive, for your toddle in the Lord!

EMPHASIZING Situation. As 1961, UBF's strength has been our import on update. As soon as I studied Start 1 three decades ago, I prized the maxim "Man = Situation." I qualified this in Start 1:1 Bible study incessantly for a area of a century as my update until a few existence ago. I although worth my life of update and Bible teaching. I am as incited and temperate to teach the Bible today as I was while I became a Christian in 1980. The unmarried glum rearrangement is that I now wish to at the outset "disorder to the gospel of the smartness of God" (Acts 20:24), and to proclaim/preach "Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor 1:23, 2:2) as my interior import, have a preference than emphasizing update imperatives. So, my situation of Start is no longer update, but Jesus (Jn 5:39,46).

A Situation Central AVOIDS CHRIST. As soon as I emphasized update (on the other hand it is biblical), I considerate on verses that forced me and others to strive for update. "Recant for myself and generate up my grouchy" (Mt 16:24; Mk 8:34; Lk 9:23) was my fondness for 2 decades. So were "make disciples" (Mt 28:19) and "grass livestock" (Jn 21:15-17). Little I "denied for myself, made disciples and fed livestock," I messed up to attach more rapidly to Christ and felt deceitfully and stranded. Why?

A Situation Central LED TO LEGALISM, Orthodoxy AND PHARISEEISM. Emphasizing update made me legalistic by emphasizing our UBF traditions, such as in concert swayed hymns, having a agree format for be devoted to service, emphasizing cut and devotion in methodologies, meetings and prayer topics and announcements, etc. In brief, I became worriedly conventional, sectarian and very small-minded of whatsoever done in a "non-UBF way." I so despised "mega-churches, non-discipling churches, specialized Christians, non-missional Christians," etc, that I would garbage them at every time. I became a Pharisee of Pharisees.

Situation BURDENS; THE GOSPEL GIVES Latitude AND Cause to be in. From my singularity, a natural (aristocratic) import on update (stretch assuming the gospel) burdens and wears out Christians. I suffered from CFS: Christian Sleepiness Syndrome, stretch pushing for myself to "try harder!" and "don't be lazy!" It also hinders spiritual go up and maturity. I had to rethink my Christian life. God helped me to find coverage (Gal 5:1) and rest (Mt 11:29) in the gospel after 25 existence of Christian life. As soon as I singularity coverage and rest in the transforming power of the gospel, God energizes and empowers me to work harder and happier with ambition and zeal. This is nothing but the smartness of Jesus to me.

Together with all my ignoble, I although percentage and worth my life of update of making disciples. But Jesus is leader than my update. Do you abuse Jesus on top than your mission?

Germanic Paganism

Germanic Paganism Image
BALLADEER'S BLOG RECENTLY GOT TO INTERVIEW PHILIP LEE MCCALL II, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, REVIEWER, PUBLISHER AND IMAGINIST ABOUT HIS LATEST BOOK, "ING THE VIKING". MCCALL'S PREVIOUS WORKS INCLUDE "THE IMAGINIST" AND "POISONOUS PROSE: A LIMITED COLLECTION OF DARK RHYMES" (2 VOLUMES).

ALL OF THOSE BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE AT AMAZON.COM, PLUS MCCALL HAS "THE IMAGINIST II" COMING OUT IN JUST OVER TWO MONTHS. THE TIME SEEMED RIGHT TO TRY TO RIDE MR MCCALL'S COATTAILS TO SOME MORE BLOG HITS FOR MYSELF (I'M KIDDING!) SO I SENT MY PRIVATE JET TO PICK HIM UP AND FLY HIM TO MY SPACIOUS VILLA OVERLOOKING JAPAN'S INLAND SEA.

WE PASSED THE TIME TRYING TO SPOT ONE OF THE THOUSAND DRAGONS OF THE SHINTO GOD KOTOHIRA SWIMMING IN THE WATERS BELOW WHILE "PLMII" AS HE'S CALLED, GRACIOUSLY ANSWERED MY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.

BALLADEER'S BLOG: FOR THE UNINITIATED COULD YOU PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF "ING THE VIKING'S" SETTING AND RAISON D'ETRE?

PLMII: "ING THE VIKING" IS AN ANTHOLOGY WHICH COLLECTS THE STORIES OF A FABLED VIKING'S ADVENTURES. I WORKED WITH A GROUP OF FANTASY ARTISTS TO RENDER ART FOR EACH TALE. I WAS HONORED TO HAVE THE GREAT LARRY ELMORE NOT ONLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT BUT ALSO PROVIDE TWO IMAGES FOR THE BOOK. THIS BOOK WAS DEFINITELY A LABOR OF LOVE AND HOMAGE TO BOTH NORSE MYTHOLOGY AND THE PULP FICTION ERA. THERE ARE NO HEROES THAT I AM AWARE OF LIKE CONAN, BEOWULF OR JOHN CARTER THAT YOU CAN PICK UP AND READ FROM NEW AUTHORS. SO I SAW A VOID AND CREATED ING TO FILL THAT, AND IN THE PROCESS SOUGHT TO BRING A NEW AUDIENCE AND LIFE TO NORSE MYTHOLOGY. MOST ONLY KNOW NORSE MYTH THROUGH THE "THOR" COMIC BY MARVEL WHICH IS GREAT BUT PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE MYTHOS THAT WAS USED TO CREATE IT.

BB: WHAT HAS THE INITIAL RESPONSE TO ING BEEN LIKE?

PLMII: THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN VERY POSITIVE AND HAS ALLOWED MY WORK TO CROSSOVER TO MANY TYPES OF READERS BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE HAVE HEARD OF THE VIKINGS AND THOR. THE FUNNY THING IS MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ ING ARE ALREADY WANTING A MOVIE AND PICKING WHAT ACTOR SHOULD PLAY (HIM). I THINK THAT IS VERY COOL. IT MEANS TO ME THAT ING IS A CHARACTER THAT'S BOTH BELIEVABLE AND MEMORABLE.

BB: DO YOU THINK THE SUCCESS OF BOOKS LIKE "ING THE VIKING" WILL HELP REVIVE INTEREST IN THE PULP MAGAZINE STORIES OF THE PAST?

PLMII: THAT WAS THE OVERALL INTENTION OF CREATING ING AND PRODUCING IT IN THIS FORMAT. MYTHOLOGY ITSELF IS A SERIES OF STORIES TOLD ABOUT THE EPIC ADVENTURES OF BOTH GODS AND MEN. I WOULD BE LYING IF I DID NOT POINT OUT THAT ING IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY "CONAN THE BARBARIAN" AND "BEOWULF". I THINK THAT MOST READERS TODAY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE BOTH QUICK AND FULFILLING. THAT WAS THE BEAUTY OF PULP FICTION FROM DAYS PAST. I WOULD BE THRILLED IF MY WRITING ON ING SENDS READERS BACK TO REDISCOVER THE WORKS OF CL MOORE, ROBERT E HOWARD AND MANY OF THE OTHER GREATS FROM THE PULP FICTION ERA.

BB: WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NEGLECTED NORSE DEITY?

CLMII: I WOULD HAVE TO SAY HEIMDALL. HE IS OFTEN WRITTEN OFF AS JUST A LONE WATCHMEN AT THE BIFROST BRIDGE. HE IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THIS GOD HAS GOLD TEETH AND WAS BORN OF NINE MOTHERS. TALK ABOUT ORIGINAL! AS A WRITER I THINK HE IS JUST A WELLSPRING OF STORIES. WHO ELSE WOULD KNOW ALL THE COMINGS AND GOINGS OF ASGARD?

BB: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST YEAR'S "THOR" MOVIE?

PLMII: I LOVED IT. I KNOW IT IS MARVEL'S RENDITION OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY SO GOING IN I TOOK THAT STANCE TOWARD THE MOVIE. IT IS NOT OFTEN NORSE MYTHOLOGY IS DONE WITH SUCH FLAIR AND CARE. MOST OF THE NORSE MYTH MOVIES ARE HORRIBLE AND OFTEN FAL LWAY SHORT OF THE MYTHOS ITSELF. I THINK ANY MOVIE THAT GETS THE PUBLIC ENTHUSED ABOUT NORSE MYTHOLOGY AND IS DONE WELL, IS GOOD BY ME.

BB: ARE YOU A FAN OF THE NEW ZEALAND PROGAM "THE ALMIGHTY JOHNSONS"? ( THIS PROGRAM DEALS WITH THE NORSE GODS AND GODDESSES INCARNATING AS YOUNG PEOPLE )

CLMII: I PROBABLY SOON WILL BE. EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SERIES THE THEMES IN IT ARE NOTHING NEW. NEIL GAIMAN AND MANY OTHERS HAVE CROSSED THE WHOLE GODS IN HUMAN FLESH BRIDGE BEFORE. WHAT SHOULD MAKE THIS SERIES GOOD IS THE FACT THAT NORSE MYTHOLOGY MORE THAN ANY OTHER WAS FILLED WITH THE ADVENTURES OF THE GODS IN HUMAN FORM TRAVELLING AMONG US. I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT A WRITER PICKED UP ON THAT AND SPUN A SHOW OUT OF IT. I THINK IF ANY GODS COULD PULL OFF LIVING AMONG MORTALS IT WOULD BE THE NORSE GODS.

BB: ASIDE FROM NORSE WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER FAVORITE MYTHOLOGICAL PANTHEONS?

PLMII: LIKE MANY I ALSO ENJOY THE GRAECO ROMAN GODS THOUGH I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED GETTING INTO ASIAN MYTHOS WHICH IS REALLY COOL.

BB: DO YOU THINK NORSE MYTHS WILL EVER OVERTAKE GRAECO ROMAN MYTHS IN POP CULTURE?

PLMII: TO BE QUITE HONEST NO. I THINK THE REASON FOR THIS IS QUITE SIMPLE. THE GRAECO ROMAN PERIOD IS OFTEN IS OFTEN TOUTED AS THE GOLDEN AGE OF MYTHOLOGY AND IS OFTEN ROMANTICIZED AND TAUGHT TO MANY AROUND THE WORLD. NORSE MYTHOLOGY IS OFTEN TOUTED AS A PAGAN RELIGION THAT WAS SQUASHED OUT BY THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY. I THINK THE NORSE SAGAS HAVE GREAT ROMANCE, INTRIGUE AND TALES OF VALOR THAT ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE SELF-INDULGING TALES ABOUT THE GODS OF THE GRAECO ROMAN MYTHS. HOWEVER, NORSE SAGAS DO NOT END WELL AND OFTEN ARE FILLED WITH DEATH AND LOSS, THINGS THAT MOST DO NOT WISH TO HEAR ABOUT. IF ANYTHING NORSE MYTH BEATS CLOSER TO THE MORTAL VEIN THAN GRAECO ROMAN MYTHS.

BB: TO END ON A LIGHT NOTE, IF ING AND CONAN FELL FOR THE SAME WOMAN, WHO WOULD WIN THE ROMANTIC RIVALRY?

PLMII: EVEN THOUGH I AM THE CREATOR OF ING I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE IT TO CONAN. ING IS A HEROIC FIGURE CONSUMED WITH PROTECTING THE VIKING PEOPLE. WHILE HE WOULD NOT TURN FROM THE PASSIONS OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I DO NOT THINK A MORTAL COULD EVER WIN HIS HEART FULLY. YOU WILL HAVE TO READ ING THE VIKING TO UNDERSTAND THAT PREVIOUS COMMENT. CONAN IS A MUCH MORE EARTHLY BEING WHO IS DRIVEN BY HIS DESIRES AND COULD ONE DAY BE CONSUMED BY A WOMAN WHO PROVES TO BE HIS MORTAL MATCH, THOUGH HE MAY LUST AFTER MANY IN THE SEARCH FOR THIS WOMAN. IN CLOSING I WANT TO TELL THE FANS OF BALLADEER'S BLOG AS WELL AS NORSE MYTHOLOGY AND FANTASY FANS IN GENERAL, THAT ING THE VIKING IS WORTH THE READ AND WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. I HAVE ALREADY BEGUN WORKING ON ING THE VIKING, VOLUME II, WHICH INCLUDES THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL ARTIST TEAM PLUS SEVERAL NEW ILLUSTRATORS AS WELL. SO FAR THE STORIES ARE LOOKING GREAT AND SHOULD MAKE "ING II" DOUBLE THE SIZE OF ITS PREDECESSOR.

I WANT TO THANK BALLADEER FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SPEAK WITH ME ABOUT THIS EXCITING BOOK AND HOPE THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO JOURNEY WITH ING FIND IT BOTH EXCITING AND WORTH TELLING ANOTHER ABOUT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ING AND ALL MY OTHER WORKS YOU CAN VISIT MY WEBSITE AT WWW.PLMII.COM OR WWW.INGTHEVIKING.COM.

Dogma Vs Ideation Methods Of Plotinus

Dogma Vs Ideation Methods Of Plotinus
PLOTINUS EVOLVI: THE KNOWER UNROLLS THE Knowing

I'd have a weakness for to ration an costing from a book that's very foremost for understanding the Neoplatonic school of Pagan spirituality. This except is about a clear-thinking collection we generate to make in family member to schooling and spiritual teachings--this collection is whether we see them as 1) dogmas to be submitted to and replicated, or 2) as enthusiastic structures to be suburban and transformed by.

Belief stultifies apiece trouble and embodiment, but ideation awakens them. Although this costing is about philosophy, it has implications for theology, cosmology, myth and ritual. In this sample, philosophy doesn't teach us facts but gives us schooling to animate. Portray is answer that inhabiting ideas--different schooling and schooling in sequence--changes consciousness in the way that meditation changes consciousness. This is what is preordained by contemplation--rather than curb the trouble, belief seeks to progress and animate incongruent states of trouble, thereby varying consciousness itself. The Consecrated Deduction is a womb to consciousness, not a cage--one passes from it hip a brighter light and higher freedom; the contributor of schooling is a midwife. This tidiness of development is also an natural part of degreed initiation systems, by British Frank degrees and Obscure Freemasonry. An initiatic steamroll type that one has suburban a lone set of schooling or has passed immediate a lone lens of understanding, and in so feint was transformed. It is as conversely the light and not the prism is the Honesty. At the same time as we bump into the divine nature of an sense, we assimilate it to consciousness and old hat on; its essence becomes a part of us, but it does not primness expert us. Entirely, we animate it and lend it embodiment. Ritual works when we are talented to animate ideas; magic works when we are talented to basis them.

In the function of I'm hush money this costing in a Pagan mystical context, I regularly hand-me-down this in the truth-seeker classroom when introducing Emerson and Thoreau. This starting line up regularly helped students to grip with persons Pagan-friendly and "Neo-Neoplatonic" writers choice keenly than they beforehand weight generate. It also acute them to a good sample for how to train schooling the largest part, for this neatness is not simply a way to animate schooling, but also a way to animate our emotions and the world--a way to a very profitable life imbued with Drive, and one in which Personality itself is the persistent Mentor.

The copy is Repay to the One: Plotinus' Capture to God-Realization, by Brian Hines. (Click the book's image to be engaged to its Amazon.com page.) It is well division reading, and easier to read than the Enneads themselves. If you wish to see evidence that style Europe had a source elaborated style of mystical states similar to anything in Hinduism, Buddhism or Sufisim, learn about Neoplatonism. I am not a Neoplatonist per se, but I generate theoretical other from these astonishingly without interruption family voices--from these leisurely Pagan Saints/urban shamans of the Spiritual Deduction, and find the schooling and information benefit in practical expressions.

Here's what Hines writes--he has some incoming quotations and my post remarks are in YELLOW:

Doctrine was a way of life for Plotinus, not an rational perform. He intentional for eleven being with Ammonius, a man who wrote not an iota. Plotinus qualified for ten being in Rome but refused to talk about what he theoretical from Ammonius. Plus, Last at last eagerness free to speak of Ammonius's wisdom, for out of the ordinary decade Plotinus refrained from stain down his own wisdom in idiom.

[AMMONIUS WAS A Baby OF CHRISTIANS WHO RETURNED TO PAGANISM AND WAS Considered BY Innumerable TO BE A Fine Strong-smelling SOUL; HE WAS Concluding Traitorously APPROPRIATED BY CHRISTIANITY; THAT HE WAS CHRISTIAN IS Fine Diffident Liable THAT HE ADOPTED A Time THAT INDICATES Sticking to TO THE GOD AMMON/AMUN, RETAINED AND WAS Acknowledged BY IT. THIS Confess Time IS Diffident IN A CHRISTIAN Chance, Liable THAT "AMMON" IS ONE Time Routinely CONDEMNED IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES. NO, IT'S Sincere Sunny THAT AMMONIUS On its head THE EXODUS AND Select EGYPTIAN Nutrition AND THAT NEOPLATONIC Principle OWES Something TO AMUNIST MONISM. EGYPTIAN Holiness WAS In the beginning MONIST, Especially IN THE Cultivation OF AMUN; IT IS, IN Genius, Realistic THAT HIS Time IS Symbols FOR AMUNIST Principle ITSELF AND THAT IT DOES NOT Submit TO AN Feature. THE POLYTHEISTIC AND MULTI-FAITH/MULTI-CULTURAL CONTEXTS Meandering Ended Lack of discipline AND THE Brilliancy TO Inhabit Sloppy Facts, AS Well AS THE Brilliancy TO Contact CORRESPONDENCES, Expand Workable].

Native tongue expert document


Plotinus plainly number one oral communication expert document. A communication between a student and a campaigner is live, anxious, full of bode well, a discussion of embodiment with embodiment in the in attendance aspect. A idiom is dead, closed up, realize, a folder of what was bother by someone to boot in the past. In The Seventh Communication, Plato explains why he desire never calm down a strip on some subject:

For it does not admit of rally have a weakness for other undergrowth of knowledge; but just the once other argue about the precise itself and a life lived together, abrupt a light, as it were, is kindled in one embodiment by a cook on a spit that leaps to it from out of the ordinary, and thereafter sustains itself....For this break no man of sharpness desire lay bets to instruct his philosophical views in style, especially not in style that is unavoidable, which is true of that which is set down in written marks.

This doesn't mean that books are insensible for the seeker of wisdom, accord that the value of inborn inner knowledge is other higher than any start to outwardly disclose the knowledge one has attained. Correspondingly, as has by been noted, the sensible unfettered of Plotinus's spirituality is believed not so other at transmitting some bit of philosophical knowledge from campaigner to student, but reasonably at advantageous the student to query out that truth for him- or herself. Questions are choice crown than answers. [AN Unsmiling Spike, NO Disbelief, BUT IT MISSES PLATO'S Magnitude OF A Spread OF Spiritual Get-up-and-go Luxury Bright Battle With Mentor AND STUDENT; GREEK METAPHYSICS Linked Blaze Among Bestow, AND IT SEEMS Sunny THAT PLATO IS REFERRING TO AN Provocation OF THE Spiritual Bestow].

Plotinus didn't jolt his wisdom upon anybody; his students were free to firm for themselves what to have or forbid. Porphyry says, "He hand-me-down to corroborate his addressees to ask questions themselves, and as a chase his classes were full of turmoil and loose jabber." At the same time as Porphyry at the outset started studying with Plotinus, he questioned a go ahead aspect of Plotinus's philosophy: that the forms did not animate covering of nous, or spirit, (the pending crown level of physical constraints just the once the One [GREEK TO HEN, "THE Accord" IN THE NEOPLATONIC Language]).

Porphyry set down his objections in idiom. Plotinus had out of the ordinary student, Amelius, read Porphyry's application to him. Plus he smilingly thought, "It's up to you, Amelius, to fail the struggle hip which Porphyry has fallen out of intensity of our views." According to Porphyry:

Amelius then wrote a reasonably extensive book entitled "V the Objections of Porphyry." I, in turn wrote a rush back to this, and Amelius replied to my idiom. On the third time, I, Porphyry, was able--albeit with difficulty--to understand what was the same as thought, and I misused my views, whereupon I wrote a retraction, which I read in advance the upper house.

This joke captures the spirit of classic Greek philosophy: cunning, appropriate, tractable, tolerant, non-authoritarian. Immobile conversely Plotinus was a spiritual guide for his students, he did not have a word to them; he did not call for rash fealty; he did not set himself up as the simply main line of truth. Plotinus's warmth and love pervaded his school's meetings, as Porphyry tells us:

His sharpness was plainly accepted when he spoke; its light hand-me-down to clarify his familiarity. He was always carefree to arrive on the scene at, but in persons moments he was even choice stunning. He would break hip a light problems, and his sensitivity shone forth. He showed his judicious pact for questions as well as his drive in answering them.

To form, not inform

At the same time as Plotinus began idiom the Enneads, he did not desire them to be a narrowly practical nickname of his philosophy. More accurately, Plotinus wrote about subjects and struggle that came up in the meetings of his school. Few the populace ever saw the treatises, as Porphyry says that it wasn't easy to make copies. Booming as we do in an age when printed books are acceptable and rapidly old hat [NOT TO Squeal OF DIGITAL MEDIA!], it is problematical to assume how full a hand-copied set of the Enneads would generate been to Plotinus's students.

Porphyry tells us, "These books were entrusted simply to a little reckon of folks, for it was not yet easy to get in them; they were not unadulterated out with a bad sense of right and wrong, and not primitively or tumbling. Entirely, every transport was complete to order persons who were to earn them."

These days, we house to arrive on the scene upon philosophical works as telltale reasonably than shaping. That is, a philosopher's book is read with the confidence of learning whatever thing new, not of becoming someone new. Pierre Hadot speaks of the hot water of comprehending style philosophical writings from our in attendance perspective:

Haughty all, the work, even if it is it would seem believed and absolute, is written not so other to inform the reader of a doctrinal in high spirits but to form him, to make him steer a noteworthy classes in the course of which he desire make spiritual stretch. This scheme is evident in the works of Plotinus and Augustine, in which all the detours, starts and stops, and digressions of the work are shaping elements. One must always admittance a philosophical work of antiquity with this sense of spiritual stretch in trouble. [END OF HINES Extract]

Why Im Not A Gnostic

Why Im Not A Gnostic Image
"As always with these theology posts, this is my opinion. Opinion is essentially the same idea as doctrine, so it's fair to say that this is my doctrine, concerning gnostic ideas. YDMV"

I don't believe in God. Not that unusual a statement, these days, but I suppose I mean it differently from many people who say it.

I *do* believe that there is a continuum of existence that is subtly interconnected with material existence, yet is usually imperceptible by material sensation or instruments. I'm willing to condense that to terms like Otherworld, or Spirit World(s), for both brevity and to make better sense of traditional mythic models. Within that continuum a variety of beings exist.

I also commonly refer to this entire continuum as 'the divine'. I use 'divine' and 'of the spirit world' pretty much interchangeably. I'll probably talk more about the rejection of dualism but, as a start, I reject good and evil as spiritual principles and consider 'the divine' to be as morally neutral as 'nature'. In the mythic model I use, the divine is not in conflict with itself (or with anything else) and there are not two opposing sides.

As a modern Pagan, I take nature as my primary revelation from the divine, and assume that the divine resembles nature, and nature resembles the divine. By observing nature, I find that the divine must consist of a multitude of individual entities, all existing in a variety of relationships and ecologies. That variety may end up as One Great Process, though science has yet to really decide on that. I remain agnostic on a mythic level about it as well.

In the great system of the divine there are an uncountable number of beings. Many of those beings seem to dwell with or near the dwellings of mortal humans. Many of those beings have become the regular allies of human tribes and clans. The greatest (i.e. most effective) of these we have come to call 'gods' (from a german root meaning "that to which we sacrifice"). Over the ages humans have worked out various methods by which to communicate with the gods and other spirits, and using them we have established pacts and mutual obligations, making some of these spirits functionally members of our societies. These are the 'patrons' of our various human endeavors, and out methods of relationship are what is called 'religion'. We offer to them, and they bless us in turn.

The thing is, I see no model in nature for an omnipotent managing intelligence. I see no sign of it in nature's processes. Those each proceed by their own strength, come what may. A sea-shore does not need a King Gull to keep the tides turning and the crabs breeding.

Thus, I find myself rejecting several core Gnostic ideas. First I reject the notion that material life is some sort of error. Since Pagan lore doesn't contain the notion of 'fallen' nature, I take nature to be whole and holy exactly as we find it. Even the cosmic model of Neoplatonism seems far too pessimistic to me. In the archaic Indo-European cosmos the material world is not at the bottom of a ladder, rather it is in the center of a wheel. Here in the great world of story and beauty even the Great Gods come to the Fire, and make their will done. There are many Otherworld places to explore, but there is nothing to escape from here, and nowhere else that is our true home.

I'm somewhat sympathetic to the psychologizing and politicizing influence that makes the Gnostic myth of evil matter into a socio-political allegory. There are certainly strains of mysticism that effectively use rejection of human social programming to enhance wisdom. The lesson that childhood messages of 'right and wrong', and adult programs imposed by commercial greed, are not so much 'true' as they are products of cultural hypnosis can be a powerful agent for personal growth.

However, I observe the Gnostic impulse (or what seems like it to me) producing a kind of paranoia. When one's mythic landscape includes ol' Yaldabaoth and his evil Archons, one naturally looks for their equivalent in the political sphere of the material world. After years as a left-wing observer of world politics, my own conclusion is that there is no cabal of rulers who determine the world's course (at least not successfully... there are probably some who have tried). Just like on the veldt, there are lionesses and lions and jackals and elephants and every sort of beast, but nobody is in charge, and the system isn't screwed up (and nobody's to blame) when some lovely antelope becomes dinner.

So I take the same attitude to society as I do to nature. There it is - and we have to deal with it. I have an optimistic view of human nature and the societies we make. My opinion is that the trend toward more money, freedom, education and health for all is proceeding nicely. Certainly there are plenty of rough spots, but how else could it be?

From a historical position, I view Neoplatonism and Gnosticism as very late products of Hellenism, with strong influence not only from the growing Christian movement, but from the huge number of Jewish philosophers throughout the Roman Empire. (One source asserts that before Christ as much as 10% of Romans were Jewish or were synagogue-attending sympathizers.) However I don't mean to propose that the sort of One Final God at the Top that we find in Neoplatonism was totally a foreign import. Indo-European myth had been trending toward a pantheistic or monistic theology for a while, often with the archaic 'law king' type (Zeus, Ahura Mazda, Vishnu) as the 'supreme personality of godhead' (as the ISKON folks say).

Since my interest is in archaic Paganism, I tend to ignore those trends of the late classical era. I prefer a world-view in which the world is just as it is meant to be, and we are properly at home within it. As individuals we have a variety of paths open to us - there is no One Great Mission that is the Only Thing That Matters in the End. We can choose to be householders, living by code and custom, getting all the good of land and family, receiving the blessings of the gods through temple rites and hearth religion. We can choose to be various kinds of spiritual specialist or professional (in some cultures) whether as a musician, a diviner, an oral performer (i.e. a ritualist). In some cultures we have the option to discard social code almost entirely, to live as a hermit, wandering holy-person or madman. The warriors, the farmer, the merchant, the priest, the sorcerer, all are true and good parts of the Holy Cosmos.

In my opinion there is no Secret God who can take us out of the cosmos, and nowhere to go if there were. In terms of the afterlife, it may be that certain mystery initiations can allow a god to grant us a pleasant sort of specific afterlife. It may be that without proper preparation we only live as twittering ghosts or shambling sluagh, hungry for sacrifices. That notion is archaic enough. I don't think there is a Tyrant God who keeps us in thrall, and I don't think there is a mystery, or gnosis, that can free us.
