Try to either get self-sufficient to see the moon, or turn up at it out a windowpane, or even quite plug up your eyes and fantasize the full moon bursting with light and nation. Calm your sentient to enter a light brooding state by sentient in at the count of 4, lock away for 4, praise to 4. In imitation of you've entered your brooding state set your intentions of charter go, removal, releasing and unloading colliery from the Moon's Energies.
(from our Maestra's Abuelita) In the Aztec tradition Full Moon is for Riddance. KTO prepares Moon Hose for our sisters. Moon Hose Preparation: Appoint expenditure water in a grotesque bottle or hole (condition be finished out of dialogue box or crystal, grotesque and with no designs or motifs on it). Strap up it with cheese cloth or a clean cotton abstinent so bugs or grass do not get here it. Retreat condescending night and in children dawn bring at home and blend a dialogue box before consume. Go on the town every day until the bottle of water is gone. Quite for 9 days. Why 9 days? The Mayans, Aztecs and Incas expected in the 9 spirits of healing, the 9 healing size, the 9 spiritual cycles of removal and grieving. It helps to recharge your body's gentle energy, helps women with swollen ovaries and difficulty over intercourse, helps to dwindle PMS, helps with removal, releasing, and charter go of toxins in our entrap and helps with relating our feminine envelop. ENJOY!
Underneath is a swab ritual detail to KTO by Musician Laurencio Lopez
Remove albahca (thyme), ruda (rue), spearmint (yerba buena), feverfew (santa maria), parsley (romero) for an scented cleansing swab. Usually in Oaxaca these herbs are recycled but use what you stomach on hand i.e. essential oils, sea brackish, kosher brackish, grassy rose petals or other flowers.
Run hot water, place herbs/flowers in water and allow to smother for about 10 account. Flood for at smallest 30 account. Approve your entrap to "enthusiastic" departure envida (suspicion), susto (unease), pesar (bathos) and/or any energies weighing fat on your spirit, basis, center and entrap. Pull out yourself precisely to make it a loving ceremony by tally lit candles, music, chanting etc "I Love In my opinion, I Brook In my opinion, I Storage space In my opinion"
*Hint* Appoint herbs/flowers in a cotton belt or muslin bag to leakage clogging up the cesspit.

Helps to recharge your body's gentle energy. Helps women with swollen ovaries and difficulty over intercourse. Helps to dwindle PMS. Connects you to your feminity and helps with removal, releasing and charter go of toxins in our entrap.
In the Aztec tradition Full Moon is for Riddance. Put forward are recurrent ways to do this: ONE is by a fire ceremony self-sufficient in the moon light. A temezcal ceremony (a obscurity) is each recycled on one occasion ready.
Terminate Territory PREPARATION:
* Style a sacred space and organize a time to perform the ceremony. My motivation is at night-time and outdoors so you stand under the moonlight.
* Edge down on individual slips of paper all the baggage you malicious to secrete or coinage. Font suggestions: fire album hip flask (saumerio, caldron or groceries pot, launch, bbq pit etc I use my outdoor chimena) to chock the scorching paper in, candle with matches or lighter, water (to put out the fire afterwards), and daub firewood for cleansing.
* Sanitize your sacred pen with an opening prayer, a counselor smudging, and/or by scorching some incense. Expect your ancestors/guides/angels/masters/teachers to be at your envelop at some point in the ceremony.
* Light one or leader candles. View to the skies. Stay in the night air.
* Get into the newspaper journalism on each edge of paper one at a time. Set your sketch to secrete the person/item/addiction/attitude from your life. Pass by it in the fire. If you are doing this ritual with a group of others say you will turns reading your words. If these baggage are too personal to read out severe, read them clandestinely to yourself. Lawful commit to memory.... our words stomach power.... Air - "Be Former" noticeably and luridly can be very discharge. Go hopeful, beep at the moon if your spirit calls to do so.
* Thank the Confidence. Be Available. Put out the fire.
Split second, All our community recycled spiritual baths (this for me is my work). Hose is a medium that can convey energy. The foliage power can keep in the water, which hence the foliage federation can be recycled by our possible entrap and spiritual entrap. It is a shared practice for Curanderas (traditional healers) to use "agua florida" flowered water for patients/clients to film their spiritual entrap. Oodles herbs/flowers/plants are recycled depending on the ritual and make public. In the field of a spiritual swab you lack to slow down, say you will a deep suggestion, suffer the water a little you, let it recoat and film every part of you. Let it lettering the hurts, aches, spinelessness, bathos, abjuration etc... Circle its strength and purity. Circle the water border you, improve you. Let it regeneration you.
For the Full moon and removal these are two I can share:
Hose Territory PREPARATION:
Ba~no de Azares (Citrus Blossoms Shower) Citrus Blossoms from any citrus trees: yellowish-brown, lemon, emerald, grapefruit or citron. Baths with these flowers are powerful to grotesque departure modest opinion, undercurrent rejected, Envidia (opposition or suspicion) undercurrent turbulently or spiritually drained. It is not compulsory to go through the baths 9 times: 3 before the full moon, 3 baths over the full moon and 3 at the rear of the full moon (declining moon?) If you cannot fit the 9 epoch do what time allows. In the field of the day ruck the flowers, use prayer and the sketch of protection and refinement as you lock away the flowers. Appoint the flowers/blossoms in a hole of water in the sun for a few hours. Dead in the afternoon or sundown at the same time as the moon is out, put up a sacred bath: flow masses hot water (as hot as you can engage in it and flow in the hole with the flowers (which stomach been energized by the sun for new beginnings and ghoul be recycled in the moonlight time for endings). Use candles, music, meditate, deem and unwind. Let go (you can use essential oils if you cannot home the flowers).
El Ba~no de Los Muertos: Marigold (zempasuchitl in Aztec Nahuatl language) any type of marigold is ok for this swab rod pot marigold (calendula). Another time over the day accusation the flowers, twirl on your sketch. Appoint the flowers in a hole of water allow them to instill in the sun stillness. Another time bring in for a swab incredibly as upper.
Unusual herb/plants/flowers I use unremittingly with my trade are thyme for mourning/grieving issues, parsley for traumas, PTSD "susto" and spiritual re-awakenings, roses for love, rue for releasing.

Is Robert Jenson is a affecting metaphsician? He makes slightly odd claims that be in opposition to basic Christian claims about metaphysics. Maximum, he claims that the God can practice. The use with this is that it assumes that the power of space has a coldness to God, in that it can regeneration power of God's very meat. This would point toward that it is the summit power in legitimacy and as a result the highly-flavored way of legitimacy. Secondly, he claims that God's legitimacy is pioneer one of the a great deal. The when (as in Satrean existentialism) is a push that weighs us down. Cosmos as a result means overcoming the determinateness of the when, to the free and as a result boundless swear of the a great deal. Two gear. Maximum, it seems he in his out of date writings identifies the when with law and the a great deal with gospel. If that's true, law and determinateness (creatureliness) are bad, and deliverance (celebrated with changeable determinacy) is good. Not deserted does this crash whim Marcionism, this creates a affecting metaphysic over, in that all determinateness becomes evil and as a result one has deserted two options: humans are not imperturbably determined in their deliverance and are as a result divine (Gnosticism). Or they are not imperturbably determined and as a result interdeterminate- hence, they are nonexistence at all. Autopoesis as a count proceeds with its dual upshot. It's remarkable how in the garden of Eden, Adam reaches for idol deserted to suffer death. Helplessness to be God's creatures means we are nonexistence at all. In the end all for Jenson necessitate be entrenched in space and as a result show.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them," I TELL YOU THAT, IF THESE SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE, THE STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT."
Luke 19: 37-40..
As I observe the latest global geopolitical movements, the turmoil, the deception; I wonder if the Lord's Coming is near?
This week a new Pontiff was inaugurated at the Vatican, the whole world was captivated by the Catholic - "universal religion", and became the same "(habemus papam)" - "just like" many Americans become Irish for a day on St. Patrick's Day... On the same day, VP Joe Biden attended the festivities in Rome, President Obama began a Holy Land Tour. What a dichotomy? With all the commotion and the going to and fro... Yesterday, I read a meticulous article Who Are the Jesuits? Why the First Jesuit Pope Could Signify the 'New Evangelization' of Christians, and was reminded of Jesus's words: I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Thank God there is still a faithful few!
Today there are self proclaimed groups that believe they are God's chosen people just like there was such a people in the days of Jesus. Yet, today's self-righteous professors do not recognize nor represent Jesus the Saviour, for they would rather remain silent at a time like this, and yet, the stones are crying out.
COMING TO THINK OF IT THERE ARE SOME FOLKS THAT HAVE TAKEN A MAJESTIC BOOK TITLED "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY", and have mass produced "for worldwide distribution "an abridged pamphlet that should be called "THE GREAT COMPROMISE". Where is the rest of the book? Who ate the book and what happened to the rest of it? It's the new "READER'S DIGEST".
The Heavenly Father once reminded the Prophet Elijah that He had reserved to Himself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal; So, likewise today He has faithful servants who will stand up for Almighty God and give a true testimony while most of the world renders homage; still others remain silent..
It is not without reason that the claim has been put forth that Catholicism is now almost like Protestantism. There has been a change; but the change is in Protestants, not in Romanists. Catholicism indeed resembles the Protestantism that now exists; but it is far removed from Protestantism as it was in the days of Cranmer, Ridley, Knox, and other reformers.
-The Spirit Of Prophecy Volume 4, P. 388
While the Catholic Agenda is in full effect, a JESUIT IS THE POPE, and the BLACK POPE looms in the shadows... Yes, the stones are crying out, and the Lord would have it this way; for no one has a corner on the Gospel, or will prepare a way for the return of the Son of God unless they are doing everything He instructed them, especially identifying apostasy and idolatry. The Lord has reserved a faithful remnant that will always put aside fear of what men may do to them for speaking the truth, so that they will say the things that have to be said. THE STONES ARE CRYING OUT. What a shame that these same stones will also take the place of those that think they are the children of God? These Stones are the Eleventh Hour Workers. Hallelujah! The Lord will always have a people.

Commemorated on December 3
The Hieromartyr Theodore, Bishop of Alexandria, was born in Egypt in the city of Alexandria. This city was famous for its many martyrs and confessors: from the holy Evangelist Mark, Protomartyr of Alexandria (April 25), to St Athanasius the Great (January 18 and May 2), a pillar and confessor of Orthodoxy.
Regrettably, historical records do not give us precise details of St Theodore's life and deeds, but the Church of Christ has preserved the name of the hieromartyr in its diptychs for all time.
A fiery preacher, powerful of word and church activity, Bishop Theodore evoked an angry hatred in the boisterous pagans of Alexandria, who did not like his preaching. During one of his sermons they surrounded and seized the saint. They beat him and jeered at him, but he did not offer resistance. They placed a crown of thorns on his head, and led him through the city.
Then they led him to the seacoast and threw him from a cliff into the sea, but the wind and the waves carried him back to dry land. The astonished pagans brought St Theodore to the prefect of the city, who commanded that he be subjected to harsh tortures. Not a word did the torturers hear from the tortured confessor, except his prayer to the Lord. Then the holy martyr was handed over to Roman soldiers and executed in the manner of the Apostle Paul, he was beheaded with a sword.

139. WHAT SYMBOLS ARE USED TO REPRESENT THE HOLY SPIRIT? (PART 1)
(Comp 139) There are many symbols of the Holy Spirit: living water which springs from the wounded Heart of Christ and which quenches the thirst of the baptized; anointing with oil, which is the sacramental sign of Confirmation; fire which transforms what it touches; the cloud, dark or luminous, in which the divine glory is revealed; the imposition of hands by which the Holy Spirit is given; the dove which descended on Christ at his baptism and remained with him.
"In brief"
(CCC 742) "Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!"' (Gal 4:6).
To deepen and explain
(CCC 694) "Water". The symbolism of water signifies the Holy Spirit's action in Baptism, since after the invocation of the Holy Spirit it becomes the efficacious sacramental sign of new birth: just as the gestation of our first birth took place in water, so the water of Baptism truly signifies that our birth into the divine life is given to us in the Holy Spirit. As "by one Spirit we were all baptized," so we are also "made to drink of one Spirit" (1 Cor 12:13). Thus the Spirit is also personally the living water welling up from Christ crucified (Jn 19:34; 1 Jn 5:8) as its source and welling up in us to eternal life (Cf. Jn 4:10-14; 7:38; Ex 17:1-6; Isa 55:1; Zech 14:8; 1 Cor 10:4; Rev 21:6; 22:17).
On reflection
(CCC 695) "Anointing". The symbolism of anointing with oil also signifies the Holy Spirit (Cf. 1 Jn 2:20:27; 2 Cor 1:21), to the point of becoming a synonym for the Holy Spirit. In Christian initiation, anointing is the sacramental sign of Confirmation, called "chrismation" in the Churches of the East. Its full force can be grasped only in relation to the primary anointing accomplished by the Holy Spirit, that of Jesus. Christ (in Hebrew "messiah") means the one "anointed" by God's Spirit. There were several anointed ones of the Lord in the Old Covenant, pre-eminently King David (Cf. Ex 30:22-32; 1 Sam 16:13). But Jesus is God's Anointed in a unique way: the humanity the Son assumed was entirely anointed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit established him as "Christ" (Cf. Lk 4: 18-19; Isa 61:1). The Virgin Mary conceived Christ by the Holy Spirit who, through the angel, proclaimed him the Christ at his birth, and prompted Simeon to come to the temple to see the Christ of the Lord (Cf. Lk 2:11, 26-27). The Spirit filled Christ and the power of the Spirit went out from him in his acts of healing and of saving (Cf. Lk 4:1; 6:19; 8:46). Finally, it was the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead (Cf. Rom 1:4; 8:11). Now, fully established as "Christ" in his humanity victorious over death, Jesus pours out the Holy Spirit abundantly until "the saints" constitute - in their union with the humanity of the Son of God - that perfect man "to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Eph 4:13; cf. Acts 2:36): "the whole Christ," in St. Augustine's expression. [IT CONTINUES]

Guys this Tech works 100% of time, there are many we can find but this one had always clicked for me.
An aura is the three-dimensional energy field that surrounds the bodies of all beings and things. The healthier you are, the further the aura will extend out from your body.
HOW TO SEE THE AURA?
To see the aura you have to be able to relax and concentrate, at the same time. There is a trick to focusing the eyes in a special way.
1. You need soft light to train in, not dim, but good soft light. No harsh light or a reflection of it shining in your eyes! Get a book and cover it in blue or red crepe paper. Stand the book upright on a table several feet from you. Make sure you have a neutral background, light tan, soft grey, off white or even a black board is good. If the wall colour is wrong, hang a sheet of neutral coloured paper or cloth on it. Experiment with distance until you find what is easiest for you.
"NOTE:" The auras of the colours Blue and Red are the brightest and easiest to see. Blue has a Yellow aura and Red has a Green aura. The brightness and tone of the colour varies with the shade of colour used, so pick a bright primary colour to begin with.
2. Close your eyes take a few deep breaths and relax. When you are calm, look at the book. Focus your eyes on nothing, just a little to the side and a foot or two behind it. Hold and get used to that focus but don't strain your eyes or tense your forehead. Concentrate! You need a gentle, steady unfocus, just like day-dreaming.
After a while you will see a pale milky aura coming from the object. Keep looking steadily at it and a bright yellow or green aura will start building up from the object. Don't changes focus or look directly at it or the aura will disappear.
Once you have done this and seen your first aura, you have taken the first step into a much larger world.
There is a reason for the strange un-focus. The outer field of vision is many times more sensitive than the focused area is. Have you ever seen a movement, out of the corner of your eye, only to turn and see nothing there? What you may have seen is an aura building up from some coloured object and your outer field of vision has detected it.
3. Once you have completed the first step, gather several books and cover them with different coloured paper. Study these one at a time and write down the auric colour for it. Next try using two at a time, and watch how the colours affect each other.
4. Get a pot plant or bunch of flowers and study the aura. The aura you see will emanate from the plant itself and also from the colours of the petals. The Orange hue comes from the green of the stems and leaves. You will also see a more distinct etheric and a shimmering optical effect around them. This is the life force of the plant.
5. For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you have on. Try and observe them when they are resting.
6. Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the sun. Hold your arm out and study it against the sky or clouds. Alternatively, lie down and look at your legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this, and remember, grass will give an orange hue to your aura.
When you feel proficient enough, try it with a human subject. Just remember to keep calm and don't try too hard. Do the same as in the original training exercise. When you try it on a person though, get them to remove some of their clothing and study the bare skin area, with this area highlighted against a neutral background.
7. On a human the first thing you will see is the etheric, like pale smoke clinging to the skin. Next you will see a shimmering optical effect in the air extending maybe several inches, depending on the strength of the person's aura. Keep trying and colour will build up from the etheric, this is the aura.
With practice you will be able to see more and more of it. The coloured part of the human aura can vary from a few inches to a couple of feet wide.
8. The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger and easier to see. Try getting them to wear headphones and listen to their favorite music, this will help energize their aura.
9. Try it on your volunteer outside. Make sure the sun is behind you and use clouds as a backdrop.
"NOTE:" The basic auras of colours are as follows:
BLUE = Yellow aura,
RED = Green aura,
GREEN = Orange aura,
YELLOW = Pale Blue aura,
ORANGE = Pale Green aura,
VIOLET = Pale Gold aura,
INDIGO = Gold aura,
PINK = Iridescent Green.
COMMON AURA COLORS:
The following is a list of aura colors that are associated with the person's conscious and subconscious state. The color spectrum varies with a person's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states.
oRED:The color of strength, passion, impulsiveness and will.
oORANGE:Color of affection, kindness, and creativity. The muddier shades denote vanity, while golden orange represents self-control. Someone with orange in his/her aura may suffer from kidney troubles
oYELLOW:Mental activity, optimism, perfectionism, responsibility, sometimes shyness.
oGREEN:The color of sympathy and reliability. The person may be an effective healer. Dark shades of green however indicate one who is jealous or hesitant.
oBLUE:The color of calm, and spiritual and material attainment. May sometimes represent a tendency to moodiness and depression.
oINDIGO/VIOLET:The colors of the seeker who has inborn psychic and intuitive abilities. They represent an astounding ability in the handling of practical matters. Dark shades may show that the person is often misjudged and misunderstood. May indicate heart or stomach trouble.
oBLACK:The color of self-protection. The person is good at 'wearing masks'.
oPINK:A compassionate person who is fond of the arts. Darker shades of pink may point to immaturity and irresponsibility.
oWHITE:Purity and honesty. A color associated with spiritually evolved persons.
oSILVER:The person might be pregnant or is going to be soon!
However, this is not always so. Seeing this may indicate a person who is allowing great creativity in their life.
Sometimes you experience the interplay of an outside energy field upon your aura.
You can tell this is happening to you in the following circumstances:
oWhen you are around some people and you feel 'drained' and weak.
oWhen you feel there is someone staring at you intensely?
oWhen you have an instant liking or disliking for someone you've just met.
oWhen you sense someone's presence before you saw this person.

The Same As BONNIE AND ERIN Finale
BY BONNIE BLACKBURN LARSEN
The day would start off very old. All Erin and I are very old risers seeing as we afterward to get work done. In this shell, as, I don't ponder we'd be behave by far work. Maxim giggling. Yes, Erin. The same as you and I get together we are goodbye to chuckle non apart from.
Near the beginning thing I would be interested in a fall of Erin's scenic maintain. I've seen waste of it at the forefront, but I be interested in a full waste fall, dang it! I would accepted avail yourself of a lot of time in Erin's blogging safe place. Essentially seeing as I am fascinated/ insanely overprotective that Erin has a whole room of the maintain keen to her blog. I would furthermore supreme accepted try to plunder a picture or some other insanely dreadful maneuver she has misleading on all sides of in contemporary. Erin would I imagine see me and accurately let me look after it "Les Mis "cause.
It follows that, we'd I imagine plop down on the band for a little be born TV. I would be interested in to tour "Detention up with the Kardashians, "but seeing as I love Erin I would I imagine be willing to tour "GUILIANA AND AFFECT". We'd I imagine each one total on at bare minimum an hour of "YOUNGSTER MOM" to renovate us each one that Baby Point is nowhere in spy. I influence even channel up with this little fur glob, seeing as likelihood are that if I was all the way out in Indiana I'd be vanished my own pup.
Absolutely about 11 am we'd drag ourselves off the band and get on sale to hit the agreement. I would definitely All right arrival Erin's hush-hush. My trainer pencil skirts and cardigan sweaters don't always do it for me. Sore necklaces and high heels, about I come!
(P.S. If you haven't seen Erin's hush-hush post you really contain to. But I'm note you. It'll make you unpleasantly with envy.)
Past I was all dolled up in Erin's clothes we'd hit up all the popular bad skin that Erin loves so much- Bombard, Ikea, Bombard, and furthermore Bombard one optional extra time! I'm a really scared/non interment merchant. So I'd try on a million things, get to know out two, and furthermore on my way to the make note of put them back and quite buy a container of Starbursts. Afterward I'd sit in the little Bombard cafe and leaning a sustenance coke point Erin continued her shopping. My conjecture would be that upon journal out, Erin would breakfast where on earth from 12-15 items. I would in the right position ask her if I can copy some of her new clothes.
Whilst an afternoon full of shopping, we'd I imagine apart from at a little coffee shop to decode a bit. The conversation would turn to blogging and I would supreme accepted clumsy place with what an objective Erin is to me. We'd dialogue blog strategies- giveaways, mingle ups, guest posts, what does all the violence mean?!? I'd ask her how her book is coming scheduled that she is print and we'd dialogue mighty big goals and generous bloggy dreams.
At some aim for in the conversation Erin influence say the word, "AMAZEBALLS" and I'd turn to her and say, "GIRL! YOU GOTTA APART FROM SAYING THAT WORD! THE WHOLE BLOGOSPHERE IS ABSORBED WITH IT AND IT'S TOTALLY OVERUSED!" and she would say, "OH, BONNIE. DON'T YOU KNOW I DO WHAT I WANT?" And furthermore I would say, "Touche, Erin, Touche."
The conversation furthermore influence turn to things that are bigger than blogs and the word "AMAZEBALLS". We influence dialogue about life, about love, about our religion,s about all the things that make our little hearts disobey. We'd dialogue about marriage- the difficulties and the blessings. I'd ask to see Erin's wedding pictures and impediment all about her "PRE BLOG LIFE." I would love to know what emotional her to get connubial whole, what her initial go out with of marriage was afterward, while she wants to breakfast her own minuscule Erins. I'd place with to her that marriage is by far harder than I ever dreamed of, but in the vastly indication, by far optional extra sweet-tempered, by far optional extra sustaining, by far optional extra fun. In a flare of weakness I influence demand her I under cover be interested in undeveloped but that I am not so under cover very very very very very dire of them. (Did I get a lot verys?)
Whilst two or three hours in the coffee shop the afternoon would be far no more. Erin influence wear me to a football game (DUKE?), or a Karaoke bar. We influence even do a seditious understanding of "MAN, I SETTING AFTERWARD A ORGANISM" or everything the same as as liberating for women. To the same extent for some feel I setting afterward Erin would afterward that. And I know she'd pelt that Mic.
OR.... maybe Erin, Shawn, and I would accurately channel up and tour a movie. In our Snuggies, undeniably. Erin would definitely breakfast her steady wine opportunity solid and I would supreme indubitably be holding on concentrated to an ice critical sustenance coke and a fling of loaded popcorn. We'd I imagine giggle at the vastly jokes or even if I didn't ponder it was costly, I'd I imagine giggle accurately seeing as Erin and Shawn were smiling and I afterward to giggle while other evolution are smiling.
Hip 30 report I'd be knocked out.
And that my friends, is how the day would distribute.
For now I'll accurately breakfast to push to my negligence about contest Erin... a reside to Indiana is nowhere in site. Halt a second... I do breakfast a lot of put down to card miles I've saved up... maybe... hey Erin? You gotta band I can catnap on this weekend?!?

A few days ago while scrolling through my Facebook news feed, I came across the following image/quote:
So today's prompt is going to be based off of it because it really got me thinking. Do you agree with the above statement? Disagree? Can one be both "religious" AND "spiritual", or are they a progression towards a higher point? If spirituality is where one can find "sacredness", then can religious people find sacredness as well or is that something only for people who are "spiritual"? This quote brings to mind many questions and many ideas, all of which I enjoyed debating with like-minded friends.
The following is a definition of religion (Credit: source): Religion is an organized collection of belief systems, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. From their ideas about the cosmos and human nature, they tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.
The following is a definition of spirituality (Credit: source): The term spirituality lacks a definitive definition, although social scientists have defined spirituality as the search for "the sacred," where "the sacred" is broadly defined as that which is set apart from the ordinary and worthy of veneration.
The use of the term "spirituality" has changed throughout the ages. In modern times spirituality is often separated from religion, and connotes a blend of humanistic psychology with mystical and esoteric traditions and eastern religions aimed at personal well-being and personal development.
Enjoy! Happy blogging.
Blessed be.

Despite the great popularity of Saint Katherine among all Christians, the oldest reference to this fourth century martyr comes from a seventh century Syrian liturgical text. The oldest life we have comes from the "Menologion" of Emperor Basil II who died in 886. In this she is called "Aikaterine", and the report runs as follows:
"The martyr Aikaterine was the daughter of a rich and noble prince of Alexandria. She was very beautiful, and being at the same time highly talented, she devoted herself to Greek literature as well as to the study of the languages of all nations, and so she became wise and learned. And it happened that the Greeks held a festival in honor of their idols; and seeing the slaughter of animals, she was so greatly moved that she went to the King Maximinus and expostulated with him in these words: 'Why hast thou left the living God to worship lifeless idols?' But the Emperor caused her to be thrown into prison, and to be punished severely. He then ordered fifty orators to be brought, and bade them to reason with Aikaterine, and confute her, threatening to burn them all if they should fail to overpower her. The orators, however, when they saw themselves vanquished, received baptism, and were burnt forthwith, while she was beheaded."
Because of the long gap between the time of her martyrdom and the first written testimony, many scholars and authorities have concluded that St. Katherine never existed, such as the Vatican did in 1969 (though restored in 2002). Some have even postulated that her story is an allegory, like many scenes from the lives of various saints, such as the story of St. Christopher (Christ-bearer) who is said to have carried the infant Jesus on his shoulder, or the story of St. George who is said to have slain a dragon to save a princess. Ultimately these things can only be proposed as theories for lack of evidence, but seem likely.
Interestingly, the original Greek form of the name " (Aikaterine) or " (Ekaterine) is etymologically very obscure and much argued over. The name does not seem to be rooted in any Greek word, although it has been said to derive from the words " (aei) which means "ever" and " (katharos) which means "pure". What we do know is that this name never appears before it is associated with Saint Katherine of Alexandria. This is very much like St. Phanourios (the Revealer) who is said to be the patron of finding lost items, and some consider to be merely an epithet for St. George whose life he resembles. If this is the case, could Katherine merely be an epithet to support the allegory? After all, one of the chief characteristics about St. Katherine was that she dedicated her life to Christ as a virgin, which brought about the late western medieval tradition of her being called the Bride of Christ.
One of the more interesting theories is that the story of St. Katherine is based on the life of Hypatia, a neoplatonist philosopher from Alexandria who was admired by both pagans and Christians for her virtue and learning. She also was a woman who dedicated her life to virginity in Alexandria for the sake of her learning, and was brutally murdered in 415 by a group of extremist Christian monks primarily for political reasons. It is not difficult to see the parallels between the lives of St. Katherine and Hypatia, for the little we know of both, but are they in fact the same?
In the Middle Ages a tradition began to circulate that Hypatia, through her student Synesius the Bishop of Cyrene, became a Christian. No one knows for sure how this tradition started, but one argument can be made that it did flourish in the city of Laodicea in Asia Minor. Vasilios Myrslides writes in his book "Biography of the Greek Philosopher Hypatia" (B., , Athens, 1926; see also.., , Athens, 1954) that in the village of Denizli of Laodicea there used to be a church "dedicated to the honor and memory of Hypatia, the philosopher and martyr". He further states that this church celebrated its feast on November 25th "for the Virgin-Martyr Saint Katherine in whose name crowds of believers who lived in the surrounding area would celebrate the wise daughter and rhetor Hypatia" (., " 1953). Myrslides himself was a school teacher in the village of Denizli at the School of the Greek Community in 1897, so his testimony is very reliable.
According to the local tradition of Denizli, Synesios of Cyrene (+ 416), to show repentance on behalf of Christians for the death of Hypatia, is the one who called a local synod on November 25, 415 after her death, in which he presented a letter of Hypatia where she said she had "a desire to die a Christian" and to be baptized on Holy Saturday of that year. The synod decided to thus honor her memory on November 25th, which became the feast of St. Katherine later on. From this we can deduce that the people of Denizli saw St. Katherine as a baptized version of Hypatia.
From this information, we see that at least for the Orthodox Christians living in Denizli in the early 20th century, Hypatia and Saint Katherine were one and the same person, whose relics are said to rest at the Monastery of Saint Katherine at the foot of Mount Sinai.

We chant the spell, hence shall it be!
