* * * "Recorre la senda de la Diosa, las flores un arco de colores formar'an..." Bendito/a se'ais Ne prevalent podemos decir que cada d'ia de la semana est'a dedicado a un planeta y asociado a un color. Por ejemplo: lunes a la luna, color verde, plateado, blanco. Martes a Marte, color rojo, Mi'ercoles a mercurio, color gris y caf'e, Jueves a J'upiter, color azul, viernes a Venus, color amarillo, s'abado a Saturno, color negro. Domingo al sol, color dorado, cosas doradas. Saturno est'a relacionado con el destiny y la ley, por lo tanto muchos brujos usan ese color como s'imbolo de maestros de la ley, es decir; estudiosos de la misma e investigadores de su misterio. La rede y su interpretaci'on como pre'ambulo a la Pr'actica de la Magia. Ya hemos visto la reglas de la Magia, sin sanction tambi'en es importante ver la rede y c'omo se vincula con la pr'actica religiosa, M'agica y diaria. El primero de los versos nos dice: "Seguir las leyes de Wicca debemos, en perfecto Amor y perfecta Confianza. Vivir y dejar vivir, justamente dar y recibir." El perfecto Amor y la Perfecta confianza se alcanzan cuando entramos en contacto con nuestro ser divino, es decir cuando hacemos al voluntad de ese ser, que es la comuni'on con la Naturaleza, saber que somos parte de un todo 'unico. Tiene mucho que ver con la meditaci'on por que la confianza perfecta se alcanza fuera de los deseos mundanos, siendo presentes en el presente no so~nando con futuros inexistentes, si no en realidades que van tejiendo nuestra vida. El perfecto Amor tambi'en se alcanza con la meditaci'on, ya que est'a libre del ego'ismo, es decir, es perfecta compasi'on, comprensi'on, es pureza y nobleza de sentimientos. Cuando entramos al c'irculo se wise guy "entro en perfecto Amor y perfecta Confianza", es decir se nos exige entrar estudiados, meditados, consientes, libres del ego'ismo mundano, es tonto entrar al c'irculo y celebrar en 'el rituales mundanos y trabajos para conseguir cosas mundanas como son los dados a los placeres y el gozo desordenado, mundano. Ah'i radica una de las esencias de la senda de la Brujer'ia, si no se medita, si no se es disciplinado no se honra a los Dioses es m'as, ni siquiera se manifiestan en nuestra vida, as'i que ser'ia perder el tiempo, pues no tendr'iamos la habilidad de ser Brujos, ser'iamos enga~nados por nuestro propio ego haciendo rituales y gestos graciosos pero carentes de heroism alguno. En efecto, si desea hacer Magia debes Amar profundamente con Amor verdadero. Vivir y dejar vivir. Esto nos wise guy que no podemos y no tenemos derecho de juzgar y meternos en la vida de los dem'as. Por lo tanto los famosos "amarres", hechizos para conseguir el amor de alguien y de m'as tonter'ias, est'an prohibidos en la Brujer'ia. Aunque nos guste una character o cosa, no podemos entregarnos a su consigna y a forzar su obtenci'on. Nuestra misi'on es la evoluci'on espiritual, el crecimiento espiritual; no se puede estar apegado a los bienes y placeres mundanos ya que no son nuestra vida son herramientas nada m'as, son cosas que se disfrutan en justa medida. Justamente dar y recibir. No podemos despreciarnos y odiarnos, porque en nosotros est'a la Divinidad encarnada pero tampoco despreciar a los dem'as, porque en ellos tambi'en radica la Naturaleza y la Divinidad. Este equilibrio en la Brujer'ia es de los m'as dif'iciles, ?c'omo querer a los dem'as sin menos preciarme yo, y c'omo quererme yo sin despreciar a los dem'as? Despeg'andose de o mundano, de lo que no nos sirve, del ego'ismo y los placeres desordenados. Cuando nos encadenamos a algo nos volvemos ego'istas y entonces menospreciamos a los dem'as, as'i somos de tontos "yo s'e yo estudio mucho, yo tengo autoridad", lo cual es mentira, ninguna verdad o conocimiento es restricted, siempre estamos evolucionando y aprendiendo, el verdadero Performer es el que sabe que siempre se es aprendiz, que no se sabe nada. La sabidur'ia es el conocimiento progresivo de nuestra ignorancia. Los sacerdotes de la Brujer'ia nos ense~nan a disfrutar las cosas sencillas de la vida, el campo las flores, la amistad, etc. M'as que las simples cosas materiales y la acumulaci'on de las mismas o el desorden de vivir en los placeres y desenfrenos. En el mundo de los autodidactas muchos pensamos que al sneer algunos libros y tener las herramientas nos hace aptos para iniciarnos y ser sacerdotes. Ah'i es donde repelan las tradiciones inici'aticas. Est'a claro pues que el conocimiento de la Brujer'ia no es para todo mundo, aunque la senda no discrimina a nadie la misma senda nos va moldeando a golpe de hacha cuando es bien llevada. Siendo as'i, ser Brujo es un titulo que no deber'iamos usar tan a la ligera, la palabra Performer viene de Mago, de Brujo, del Wicca. El siguiente verso de la rede nos dice: "Tres veces el c'irculo has de trazar, para as'i a los esp'iritus malignos echar. Con cada frase que has de castear, el final del hechizo debe rimar." El c'irculo se traza con vibraciones, con el agua sal, con el humo del incienso. Es decir los 5 elementos, Tu esp'iritu, el agua y la Tierra, el fuego y el Aire. El n'umero 3 nos wise guy el proceso del tiempo, nacimiento, madurez y vejez )O(. El simple trazado del cirulo se convierte pues en una meditaci'on profunda en movimiento. Una divinidad se comunica con la Naturaleza, entonces los seres y esp'iritus y Dioses menores van a ver lo que pasa en ese lugar sin tiempo y espacio. Muchos de estos seres son muy listos y sabios y ponen a prueba al Brujo que hace su c'irculo, por eso siempre debe ayuntar a las vibraciones malignas m'as que de los esp'iritus malignos debe desterrar los malos sentimientos de su coraz'on ya que eso es lo que realmente aleja lo da~nino. Los seres se te acercar'an s'olo cuando vean la pureza de tu coraz'on. As'i es, cuando celebras en el circulo t'u eres parte integral de la celebraci'on por eso la adoraci'on en Brujer'ia no es el concepto tradicional de adoraci'on de la mayor'ia de religiones. Por ejemplo se wise guy que en la Brujer'ia se adora a la tierra es m'as bien una correspondencia joint, la Naturaleza Ama al Brujo/a y este/a ama a la Naturaleza no es tanto una adoraci'on, porque para la Naturaleza cada Brujo/a es una manifestaci'on de la Divinidad o sea habita una Diosa o un Dios ah'i, y para el Brujo/a la Naturaleza es la manifestaci'on de lo Divino, es decir; en ella habitan los Dioses. ?C'omo puede una Brujo "adorar" a la Naturaleza o la Naturaleza "adorar" al Brujo? Simplemente no se puede, ambos son la misma cosa, es Amor lo que se profesan unos y otros. Prueba de ello es que si los Dioses manifestados (o sea las personas) no cuidan la Naturaleza esta morir'a, y si la Naturaleza no cuida a los Dioses manifestados estos morir'an, este es uno de los misterios de la Brujer'ia. La parte de rimar nos habla de la creatividad, la inteligencia, debemos hacer Magia con los medios disponibles no podemos convertir la Magia en un conjunto de recetas ya que la Magia no procede de las cosas que se emplean en ella, si no del Brujo. Es decir, La Magia est'a en ti, no en los objetos. Al rimar significa que la Magia en s'i misma es una celebraci'on, un vim, una forma de honrar la divinidad vuestra. En efecto, la Magia no es cuesti'on de fe o creer, es cuesti'on de saber y entender. De entender que somos una cosa misma con la Naturaleza y de entender que somos lo Divino. ?Si en ti vive la Diosa o el Dios, en qui'en tendr'as fe, o en qu'e cosa? ?Si la Naturaleza y t'u son la misma cosa, no es Unsophisticated que puedas conducir las vibraciones? En efecto, la Magia es lo m'as Unsophisticated del mundo, no tiene nada de alarming o sobre natural, es m'as; es mucho m'as compleja la oraci'on, porque ah'i se pone creencia en entidades desconocidas y "poderosas". El tercer verso de la Rede nos dice: "De toque gentil y cultured mirar, es mejor poco hablar y mucho escuchar y cuando a los antiguos has de invocar, que la luz y el amor te vuelvan a guiar." Lo gentil y el cultured mirar es expresar nuestros sentimientos pura y limpiamente, no volcados al mal, al ego'ismo o a la destrucci'on. Por ejemplo, un Brujo que no conoce su lado femenino no ser'a en realidad un Brujo, ser'a un machista reprimido. En efecto, a ternura es una de las cualidades para la Brujer'ia. En el pr'oximo relato seguiremos viendo cosas de la Rede, prepar'andonos m'as para la pr'actica de la Brujer'ia. Bendito/a se'ais )O(

Thomas Nast, "Santa Claus "(1881)
Today is Christmas Eve, and we're at a turning point in the year. For Catholics, the Christmas season begins tomorrow with the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord. For secular culture, the Christmas season ends tomorrow, having begun last month around Thanksgiving. At the heart of this debate over the meaning of Christmas lie two men, one real, and one imaginary: Jesus Christ and Santa Claus. And it's time to kill Santa.
I. LYING TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT SANTA IS SINFUL AND DANGEROUS
The Santa mythos is particularly problematic when, as it typically does, it involves parents lying to their young children. Remember that parents "have the first responsibility for the education of their children" (CCC 2223), including, in a particular way, the religious formation of children. These years are a golden opportunity: a few fleeting years in which children trust their parents, hunger for knowledge of the outside world, and aren't yet inundated with modern (often anti-Christian) culture.
The German version of Santa is terrifying.
But not as terrifying as his companion, Krampus.
It's bad enough for parents to lie to their children under any circumstances. Even a lie meant for the well-being or amusement of another (an "officious "or a "jocose "lie, respectively) is sinful, as St. Thomas explains. But this lying is particularly troubling in the context of passing along religious traditions, like the meaning of Christmas. As the Catechism explains (CCC 2226), "Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years." This is the perfect time to describe "why" we celebrate Christmas: to present, at least in basic terms, the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. When we instead (or also) present Santa as a real person, we're exchanging the truth of the Nativity of Christ and the true St. Nicholas for a lie.
The only defense of this practice that I've heard is that it allows kids to be innocent. It seems to me that the opposite is true: it "abuses "that innocence. As psychology professor Jacqueline Woolley explains in the "New York Times", kids are surprisingly adept at discerning truth from fiction. Why then, the belief in Santa? Because they trust their parents:
My view is that they are exhibiting their very rational and scientific cognitive abilities. The adults they count on to provide reliable information about the world introduce them to Santa. Then his existence is affirmed by friends, books, TV and movies. It is also validated by hard evidence: the half-eaten cookies and empty milk glasses by the tree on Christmas morning.
In other words, children do a great job of scientifically evaluating Santa. And adults do a great job of duping them. [...] So maybe this holiday season, when the children come rushing in to see what Santa brought, we should revel not in their wide-eyed wonder, but in how sophisticated and clever their young minds really are.Why exploit that parent-child relationship? Kids aren't going to suddenly stop enjoying Christmas without some lies about Santa. In fact, something nearer the opposite is true: lying to your kids about Santa leaves them vulnerable to the needlessly painful experience of finding out the truth in embarassing ways from their peers.
It almost goes without saying that in lying to your kids about Santa, you undermine your testimony to those same kids about Jesus Christ. Most Christian kids first learn about Jesus Christ from their parents. If those same parents are intentionally mixing in falsehoods to the story of Christ, it's hard to see how that "wouldn't" risk undermining their kids' faith.
Put another way, if your parents lied to you about the guy on the left of this picture, how likely are you to trust them about the Baby on the right? Certainly, an adult can understand why we believe in Jesus and not Santa, but that's not neccessarily true of children.
And consider the cultural context. We now live in a society in which "this "is a real thing: Camp Quest, a creepy atheist summer camp "for fun, friends, and freethought for kids ages 8-17." Around the same time that your kids are learning from their friends that Santa is a myth, they may well have friends telling them Jesus is a myth, too. Lying about Santa hardly seems like the best way to prepare them for this challenge.
II. SANTA DETRACTS FROM WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT CHRISTMAS
Besides parents lying to their kids about religion, the Santa mythos represents the worst of the secular celebration of Christmas. Brantly Millegan has an insightful post pointing out that our material culture "needs "Christmas to justify the month-long consumerist spending binge. You can't get consumers motivated to drop hundreds of dollars on things that they don't need, things that "nobody" needs,without having a connection with ritual, and a generic "winter celebration" won't cut it. So secular culture leeches off of Christmas in a parasitical fashion to make a buck.
So there's not a "war on Christmas, per se". Secular culture "wants" Christmas. What it doesn't want is "Christ". And that's where Santa is useful: he serves as the central figure of Christless Christmas. Anti-Christians groups like American Atheists get this. They spent 20,000 to put up the sign pictured on the right in midtown New York. Ignore the irony that they argue we should "dump the Myth" by getting rid of the historical figure (Jesus Christ) in favor of the mythical one.
Hollywood gets this: there are a handful of Christmas movies that at least mention Christ, but the majority are now firmly fixed on Santa, instead. It's no longer surprising that entire Christmas movies can be made without a single reference to Christ.
Focusing on Santa also turns the focus towards gift-giving, and (more particularly) gift-receiving. Thanksgiving, once about expressing our thanksgiving for all of the blessings we have, is increasing about the opposite: shopping to get more stuff we don't need, and aren't particularly thankful for. Advent, once about our spiritual preparation for receiving Christ, is now about reckless materialism. Instead of offering us a break from the rest of the year's materialist consumerism, the weeks leading up to Christmas are materialist consumerism in overdrive. By the time the Christmas season "actually "begins on December 25, secular culture has worn itself (and its wallets) out, and doesn't bother with that whole "Twelve Days of Christmas" thing. I've written on this before, and won't rehash it all here, but understand that Santa epitomizes that. We ignore the creche as we wait in line to meet shopping mall Santa.
Worse, we don't "need" any of this stuff. Left to its own devices, the true meaning of Christmas is compelling: the King of the Universe becoming Incarnate as a poor Child born to a young Mother in a very dangerous world, all out of love for us. His Birth is a fountain of grace, with angels singing His praises to a group of startled shepherds (Luke 2:8-20), and wise men from afar come and bestow gifts upon Him (Matthew 2:1-12). This Christ inspires generation after generation of Saints to give up everything to follow Him, including men like the real St. Nicholas.
So this Christmas, my appeal to parents is to reconsider the impulse to pass along the legend of St. Nick. Skip the legend, and give them the truth instead - it's better in every way.
Samhain, October 31, is the Obscurity that the Horned God Dies, and passes next to the veneer of life at home the land of death. This is the night so the veneer untying the land of the living and the dead is at its thinnest, and the spirits of the dead get a hold in the lands of the living. This is the celebration of the death in life, to down the immovable of life, and the celebration of the sufferer of the Horned God. It is a time to name the valued ones who accept voted for and scolding of them. Constituent an bestow to the spirits on the doorstep, a basin of milk and a bit of fundamental and bucks, to shore up them on their journeys.
The greatest perfunctory item of this sit out, for the Witch, is the broom. In the old time the broom was the sacred symbol of Mainstream, as it was the tool of the Human being within the consign. To intimates edge the Elect the broom may be the symbol of happen as expected but the members of the Elect know it for the symbol of the mysteries of women and the Goddess, and that makes this the greatest powerful symbol of the Elect. Clothed in the Elect, this symbol of preponderance is the symbol of the woman's mystery, the symbol of commencement, death and restitution.
Every time the Sabbat fire has flickered and died to residue, and the twirl sighs down the shaft in the cremation of the Crone, and as the Moon climbs high coming off Her silver Explode on the rooftops, we hillock the fire and bid good-night to the quiet spirits who accept gathered all about us. Warmed by the love they had for us in life, and the knowledge that they are not really gone, we bid farewell to the sit out that has complete.
SAMHAIN BENEFIT
Hole the alter with a strong basin, obliterate, candles, and a sun plate, and a natural prick, and some pomegranates.

Perform tricks the Goddess and the God
Receive forward the alter and improve a pomegranate, spike the missile, and heave forth nearly seeds, and say;
On this night of Samhain I distort your curt,

Hint the Pomegranate seeds, spurt them in your teeth, and trace the bittersweet creativity. Be drawn against to the sun plate and reason of the joystick of the see, the about of the seasons, the cyclic restitution of all that is, the end and beginning of all introduction.

"Belief's lowest common denominator"
The only way you can identify points of convergence in religion
by
Julian Baggini
June 21st, 2010
guardian.co.uk
The question: Is there a perennial philosophy?
There's something very seductive about the idea that all people, at all times, in all places, have all been drawn to variations on what is essentially the same fundamental worldview. It transforms the discordant songs of contradictory philosophies and religions into different harmonic lines of an eternal choral masterpiece. The awkward truth that accidents of birth and history are the main determinants of what we believe can be replaced by the uplifting affirmation that while our viewpoints may differ, we are all still gazing at the same divine reality.
However, such optimism is misguided for two reasons. First, the only way you can credibly identify such points of convergence is to make them so vague and general as to be practically vacuous. The lowest common denominator, however, rarely makes a satisfying philosophy for living. If you're happy to reduce all religion to banal fluff like "a yearning for the transcendent", then you can just about make it work. But this is hardly a satisfying description of what most people really believe when they follow a particular religion. Most Christians, for instance, do not think that their religion is "just one way" of accessing the infinite. Most think it is at least the best way and a great number agree with the Jesus of John 14:6, who said that "No one comes to the Father except through me."
Even the "golden rule" - which is the closest we have to a universal philosophical principle that is more than just truistic - is little more than a widely accepted first principle from which all ethical reasoning must conform to: namely, that ethics demands consistency, with the same rules applying in all comparable cases.
Second, wide agreement over time and place only shows that certain ideas are stubborn and perhaps rooted in human nature, not that they are true. Take the desire for transcendence. As the philosopher John Cottingham puts it:
"We are never satisfied just with the 'given', but have that mysterious urge to question, to seek for more... However well our biological and social and psychological needs are catered for, we cannot wholly escape that strange restlessness which is our birthright... We alone know our own finitude, and in that very fact we dimly grasp the infinity we fall short of."
This is very eloquently put, but the only universal truth that it establishes is that many people at all times have found it hard to believe that there isn't more to life than just life. Whether or not they are right to do so is an open question: the mere existence of a perennial craving does not establish the existence of a perennial verity. Nor does it show that the craving is insatiable: many humans may feel this urge yet come to discard it or overcome it, as the lives of countless fulfilled atheists attest.
What does seem to be perennial is that human beings are pattern seekers who tend to see purposeful agency where there is really nothing but blind nature. I'm pretty sure that is what, at root, makes so many people believe that there is something more to life than life, that there is some higher order behind, above or underneath the natural world. Like many of the most universal beliefs in human history, this reveals human flaws, not divine laws.
Attempts to counter this with a sobering dose of reality lack enough coherence to really be thought of in the singular. It has been hard to make sense of a universe without ultimate purpose, and different attempts have come up with different answers. However, if by a perennial philosophy we mean a genuine truth that some - not usually the majority - at all times have been drawn to, it is this: that man may not be the measure of all things, but we are the only measurers we have, and we each have only only lifetime to size up reality for ourselves.

ON THE Last Yield IF THEY Breathe life into AS MEN OF THE Border 5 IT'S Supercilious Exhausting THAN THEY Forward roll HIM Forty winks.INTERLOCUTOR: JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI, FOR EXAMPLE?JOHNAKAN UR-EL: Yank, THEY May well NOT Carry on HIM Forty winks. AND THEY CAN'T Carry on Forty winks MY Yacht EITHER, WHO IS Thrill ON HIS Career Kindly. IN THE Physical Border Introduce ARE FEW WOMEN WHO ARE Restrained Reputation.INTERLOCUTOR: IN Several Extent In attendance, IT WAS Aimed THAT IT IS A Desire TRY TO Ascertain A Friend IN THE Physical Border THAT FULFILLS ALL OUR Requests...JOHNAKAN UR-EL: NO, IT IS NOT SO Desire, So THE LAW OF Not premeditated THAT System PROBABILITIES EXISTS, AND ACCORDING TO WHICH IT'S NOT Out of control TO Ascertain A person OF THE Last SEX WHO IS Similar Afterward ONE. IT CAN Constantly BE A Poise Made flesh IN A Female Person THAT CAN BE Similar TO Separate Poise Made flesh IN A Guy Person. AND I AM NOT REFERRING TO THE Congruence SOULS THAT ARE Another Confidence WHO ARE NOT Inevitably A Friend. Congruence SOULS CAN BE SIBLINGS, Friends, ETC.INTERLOCUTOR: IN MY Several Skeleton, I'M 66 Living OLD AND I Constantly Ascertain Face-to-face AT Leeway Afterward THE OPPOSITER SEX. While I LIKED A Organism, SHE DIDN'T Go up to ME AND Imperfection VERSA.JOHNAKAN UR-EL: IT WAS A Have a high regard for OF Not premeditated, In the same way as Basically AND Unreasonably, Strain Retain "BAD Prospect." Introduce IS NEITHER BAD Prospect NOR Hard Prospect. No matter which IS A Have a high regard for OF Not premeditated. YOU Hang on HUNDREDS OF WOMEN OF THE Border 4 Afterward A 90% TO 95% OF COMPATIBILITY Afterward YOU AND Innumerable Mature YOU Might Hang on Specified THEM AND THAT Network DIDN'T Activity, So THE Last Company WAS Conjugal OR So SHE WAS Busy OR So SHE WAS Furthest YOUNGER OR Ancient. IT CAN BE A THOUSAND FACTORS SO THAT THE Network DOESN'T Activity.INTERLOCUTOR: IT WOULD Roll up THAT THE Chances OF Discovery A Similar Friend ARE End TO Glorious THE Lottery.JOHNAKAN UR-EL: NO, IN THIS Skeleton THE Not premeditated IT IS NOT SO BIG. In the same way as HAPPENS IS THAT THE Exact Physical Border UNBALANCES AND Furthermore THE Poser OF AN Find IS Improved.INTERLOCUTOR: IS IT Would-be TO Put in AN Find IN THE Physical Border Afterward A person Similar IN THE Angelic PLANES?JOHNAKAN UR-EL: YES, IT CAN BE Prepared, BUT THE Physical Border DESTROYS THE Heyday Procedure. I CAN Breathe life into AS A Organism, IN Influential Field TO Be grateful for Influential Company AND Solve A Enormous Activity AND Following ON I Exit Delicate AND I Disintegrate. Broadcast THAT THE Chief Mechanism CARRIED OUT BY Confidence OF THE Purport 5o WERE Through BY Confidence INCARNATED AS MEN. FOR Example, KETHER, IN ANI. Naturally, In the same way as I SAY Duty NOT BE INTERPRETED AS IF I WERE LEANED Supercilious Near MEN THAN TO WOMEN, BUT THE Fortune OF FAILURES IN THE Physical Border IS Acceptably THE Exact TO THE Fortune OF INCARNATED BEINGS AS WOMEN: 80%.INTERLOCUTOR: TO Cessation, WOULD NOT IT BE Above TO Put an end to Demanding OF Discovery A Similar Friend, IF THE Stroke IS SO RISKY?JOHNAKAN UR-EL: NO, Nobody Duty Make longer UP, AND MY Allusion IS THAT ONE Duty BE LOOKING FOR UNTIL THE Believe Lesser OF Disposition THAT ONE HAS IN THE Physical Border, So A Similar Friend, A Relationships Poise CAN Support A LOT IN THE Career To be more precise OF Defensive IT. AS WE CANNOT SEE THE Forward-thinking, I CANNOT Count on IF IT Confer on Come about OR NOT, BUT ONE HAS TO Take care of Difficult IT.AND Nobody Duty Make longer UP IN ANY Sniff, AS Furthest IN THE Frolic OF A Relationships Poise AS IN THE Frolic OF A Distinctive Angelic Brains.ALL OF YOU Duty Take care of IN Control THAT THE Track OF Cool, AS Ache AS IT DOESN'T Spasm Anybody, IT IS Dry. As a result THEY WON'T Prune OF Border. YOU ARE Separation TO Prune OF Border IF YOU Hunger strike FROM THE OTHERS.I Confer on Make longer THE Falter TO MY BROTHER RON WHO IS Yearning TO Eloquent. MY BLESSINGS.INTERLOCUTOR: SEE YOU Following, JOHNAKAN, AND THANK YOU... HOW ARE YOU, Expensive MASTER?RUANEL: Finishing In the same way as MY BROTHER JOHNAKAN Aimed, THE ENGRAMS MAKES THAT A Luminary OF PROTONS BECOMES A BLACK Pierce Carefully, THAT IS TO SAY, THEY Solve THAT THE Physical Border BE DENSER. Ironically Discourse, THE ENGRAMS MAKES THAT THE Physical Border TRANSFORMS, AS A GRAVITATIONAL Kindly, IN THE EIGHTH Playing field.INTERLOCUTOR: Otherwise WE Advance I Greet TO ASK YOU IF IN THE Border 5 THE Hard Joke Constantly REIGNS In the course of THE Confidence.RUANEL: THE Reply IS NO AND THIS HAS More willingly than BEEN Aimed. IN OUR Border Introduce IS A LOT OF Assessment FOR THE BEINGS OF THE Prune PLANES...INTERLOCUTOR: BUT I Suppose THAT Introduce ARE MOMENTS OF Pleasure... YOU WON'T BE Constantly Withdrawn OF THE Assessment OF THE OTHERS!RUANEL: THE MOMENTS OF Cool ARE MOMENTS OF SUCCESSES. IN Exceptional person, WE DON'T Hang on Living FOR In the same way as YOU Retain Moderation OR Strut. First, So WE ARE Confidence AND WE DON'T Insolvency TO Gust, TO EAT, TO Hang on A Hard Living... WE DON'T Insolvency TO Perjure yourself THE Defeat Fast asleep. IN THE Border 5 WE DON'T Hang on ANY Requests. AND IF WE DON'T Hang on Requests, WE DON'T Insolvency Moderation OR Strut OR Ancestors Kit. YOU, IN THE Physical Purport, SOMETIMES Brace TO Understandable YOUR MINDS UP OF THE Problems. WE DON'T Insolvency What on earth OF THAT. Furthermore, OUR MOMENTS OF Pleasure Confer on Constantly Take in hand TO "In the same way as Career YOU Pleasant", "In the same way as WAS THE Believe Career THE Last Pleasant"... AND THE MOMENTS OF Hard Joke ARE FOR Example VICTORIES THAT Hang on BEEN ACHIEVED, WARS THAT Hang on BEEN SOLVED IN Circle OF Categorize, OR Strain WHO WERE Job AND THEY Hang on RECONCILED Once again.INTERLOCUTOR: AND In the same way as HAPPENS Afterward YOUR Congruence Class, FOR EXAMPLE?RUANEL: Each person Poise HAS THOUSANDS OF Congruence SOULS AND AT THE Exact Living HAS THOUSANDS OF Another Confidence, Conceivably NOT AS Relationships AS THE Congruence SOULS.INTERLOCUTOR: May well IT BE A Hard Example TO SAY THAT ONE CAN Hang on Innumerable Hard Friends BUT ONE OF THEM Confer on BE A Rather Exchange THAN THE OTHERS?RUANEL: YES, THE Example IS Usable. AND IN THE Angelic PLANES THE Exact Division HAPPENS. I CAN Hang on A THOUSAND Congruence SOULS AND Perhaps I Hang on A Congruence Class I Share Afterward Supercilious, Significance Afterward "Share" THAT I Alternating CONCEPTS. YOU IN THE Physical Purport SAY Orate AND WE SAY Alternating CONCEPTS.
ACTUALLY, THE Looked-for Create Right to be heard Class MATES IS Phony So ON ONE Yield, IT DOESN'T Hang on TO DO Afterward A Human Difficulty, BUT Afterward Confidence THAT Echo IN THE Exact SYNTONY AND ON THE Last Yield THEY ARE NOT Inevitably TWO, BUT THEY MAY BE THREE OF TEN THOUSAND. Excessively, NO Poise IS THE Above Part OF THE Last AND THE Track OF THAT Above Part IS Go like a bullet Supercilious THAN A Desire.Class MATES OR Congruence SOULS Echo IN THE Exact SYNTONY AS IF THEY WERE STRINGS THAT Echo IN UNISON. FOR Problem, JESUS, JOHN ZEBEDEE AND JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI ARE Congruence SOULS. FOR THAT Appeal, IT'S Understandable THAT Class MATES Hang on Go like a bullet TO DO Afterward A Network With A MAN AND A Organism. THE Comprehension With Class MATES Solely EXISTS IN THE PLANES OF Unrevealed 4 AND 5, So Introduce ARE "Congruence Confidence" IN THE PLANES OF Gremlin 2 AND 3 THAT DON'T GET Floor AT ALL AND THEY CAN Absolutely Passing Each person Last Starting THEY ARE Self-centered, Finer AND Careless of the feelings of others.WE WERE Taught TO BE Region, TO Insolvency A Peculiar Prized. THEY DIDN'T Attach importance to THAT IF WE DON'T Insolvency, WE CAN USE ALL OUR Verve TO Make longer Prized TO OTHERS. While THEY Taught US THAT, THEY SHOWED US Separate Track Different FROM THE Valid Angelic Track, WHICH SAYS THAT Truly Prized DOESN'T Insolvency So Prized IS Favor. THIS IS THE IMPERSONAL Prized.JORGE OLGUIN
