Divine Alchemy Of The Sacred Soul

"THE OLDEST WISDOM IN THE WORLD TELLS US WE CAN CONSCIOUSLY" "UNITE WITH THE DIVINE WHILE IN THIS BODY; FOR THIS MAN IS" "REALLY BORN. IF HE MISSES HIS DESTINY, NATURE IS NOT IN A" "HURRY; SHE WILL CATCH HIM UP SOMEDAY, AND COMPEL HIM TO" "FULFILL HER SECRET PURPOSE." "~ SARVEPALLI RADHAKRISHNAN" "(PRESIDENT OF INDIA, 1962 - 67)" We all want to know why we are here. What is our mission in life? The people who know it are easy to spot; their lives shine with meaning. Their perception of their life's purpose gives them the strength to live through the rough times as well as to enjoy the good. Many people, however, are confused ~ or completely in the dark ~ about their reason for living. This lack of self~understanding and direction is a health problem itself, in a sense, for it can lead to...

Putting God And The Gospel First

Two Trevin Wax items this morning. First, an appreciative review of his recent book, "Counterfeit Gospels: Rediscovering the Good News in a World of False Hope". The review includes this summary of the "gospels" too often substituted for the Gospel: * The "therapeutic gospel" corrupts the Gospel Story by redefining the problem the Gospel solves, making it about me and my felt needs rather than about God's remedy to restore a fallen creation. * The "judgmentless gospel" corrupts the Gospel Story by redefining the Story's conclusion, downplaying the seriousness of sin and evil and God's commitment to put the world to rights. * The "moralistic gospel" corrupts the Gospel Announcement by replacing Good News with good advice and making it about the works we do rather than about what Christ did...

Pearl Dust

This came via email by an "Anglican Friend of God":ANGLICAN PATRIMONYAn anonymous commentator calling himself 'Father' writes the following on the Anglo-Catholic blog:It seems to boil down to what one thinks the Anglican patrimony consists. The anti-AC-cabal seems to think Rome wants to annihilate this patrimony. But what is this patrimony they so desire to maintain? I don't think I'm a lone Anglican voice in expressing that the dearest patrimonies are:1. The AV2. The Coverdale Psalter3. "Cranmerina" English(Some might add membership to the country club.)What else of our unique Anglican identity does not Rome already embrace?What an astonishing reduction. The Anglican patrimony consists of a prose style and nothing more: perhaps not even the "Book of Common Prayer"!The sad thing is that 'Father'...

Homily For The First Saturday Of Great Lent 1 Of 2

THAT ONE SHOULD NOT EMBRACE AND ZEALOUSLY OBSERVE THE BENEFIT OF THE FAST ONLY IN THE FIRST WEEK OF LENT, BUT THAT THE ZEALOUS MUST CONTINUE THE SAME ZEAL IN ALL THE WEEKS OF LENT.By St. Symeon the New TheologianTHE FIRST WEEK OF LENTBrethren and fathers,What we are about to say we ought to have addressed to your charity last Sunday. I was aware, however, that every one of us believers, [together with] the whole Christian people, both monks and laity, with fervent zeal accepts the blessing of fasting in the holy first week of Lent, and that each one of us willingly puts its yoke upon its neck (Sir. 51:26). Even among those who greatly despair of their own salvation and live their lives without fear and reverence for God there is no one who rejects the law of fasting in that week. Rather, as...

The Siddhis Psychic Realms

Clairvoyance and ClairaudienceThese words imply the ability to 'see' or hear psychically. There arespiritists who claim the ability to see spirit guides and souls.

Human Origins Alien Intervention Theory By Lloyd Pye

Lloyd Pye, one of the most prominent people at the forefront of research into human origins, proposes his theory of alien intervention which he believes is responsible for creation of the human species.He is definitely not the only one who has been saying this and there is ample evidence to support his claims which can be found in the work of people such as Zecharia Sitchin, Graham Hancock, Robert Temple and so on... Earth's true history is a lot different than what we are made to believe !He cites the different creation myths/legends most of us have grown up with such as the biblical version of creation by an entity called God and the Darwinian evolution theory, and explains why he believes there were these Alien beings who in fact created a new species from an existing primate species here...

Another One Looking For Help In Finding My True Path

To start with, my wife is Wiccan and I have attended several rituals with her. I guess that as of now, I would be classed as an Eclectic Pagan. My beliefs incorporate elements of Native American, Celtic and maybe even a tiny bit of Star Wars. I feel that there is a universal energy that exists everywhere. I guess you could call by many names including "The Force"(thus the Star Wars reference) I also feel that The true gods and goddesses exist in nature and I am never closer to them than when I am in the forests or on the waters. I have always felt a close connection to the Wolf, and believe it to be my "Spirit Animal". I know that some of you will say, "You have years to choose your path" but, I am a 3+ years survivor of Stage4 breast cancer, (and yes I am a male) so I don't really know how...

What Is Final Nirvana

Dharmachari Seven and Amber Dorrian, Intellect Quarterly Principal Buddha in the world, Thimphu, Bhutan (Michael Foley Photography/Flickr.com). The authoritative aim of Buddhism is fantasy -- transcendent hush, the unexcelled specifics, the refuge from all bonds and try out.But it is not illusion, not a place, not a emptiness. It is. It is the "UNCONDITIONED" element, at the same time as everything also (EVERY "THING") is a multifarious of cursory elements.Nirvana is without help in this motivation. It is the truthful unconditioned specifics. Introduce is that fantasy glimpsed and interested while living, but for persons who are efficiently enlightened (ARHATS) it is the deathless retrieve, eternal hush, actual incongruent lackluster boast that always rises and force.In hoard to knowing-and-seeing...

Joseph Smith Contactee

In the Canadian UFO Report (now defunct) Vol. 3 No. 3 you will find an article with the title "A Church that Tells of Other Worlds." We believe that Joseph Smith displayed the same phenomena that experiencers do during their contacts with extraterrestrials with one exception; they have not started a new religion. We have been warned over and over again not to let our contact experiences lead to a religion...."On a visit to Salt Lake City, Utah, before Canadian UFO Report was even contemplated we were fascinated by the almost magic quality of what we learned in a short time about the Mormon Church. There was the story of the strange gold plates and the miraculous experience of Joseph Smith. There were references that seemed to include North America in Biblical events. Perhaps above all there...
