Who needs a mentor...everyone who is truly serious about achieving more of their true potential, personally and financially. In fact, Richard Brooke says:"If youre someone who wants to break out and do something extraordinary that you would not do on your own initiative, you better have a coach-and you better have a great one."If you doubt Mr. Brookes quote may I suggest you investigate all top success icons in any field and you will find they all have Mentors and Coaches. It is reported that Michael Jordon at the peak of his career had 11 coaches.You may be asking: whats the difference between a Mentor and a Coach? Websters dictionary defines a...Mentor as: "An experienced and trusted friend and prudent advisor."Coach as: "a private tutor; one who instructs or trains a performer or a team of performers."We have defined two types of Mentors - Life and Area Specific Mentors. A Life Mentor is one whose success system or methodology is universal and the foundation for success in every area of a persons life.Finding a Life Mentor whose success system is universal to everyone, no matter his or her education, talents or social status, is extremely difficult. This is why Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich, is so unique and the ideal Life Mentor because his success system is the foundation for every outstanding achievement and fortune ever made.An Area Specific Mentor is a mentor, often referred to as a "coach," whose knowledge and expertise is in one or a few areas of life. For example, a head coach of a National Football League (NFL) team possesses knowledge, skills and a system encompassing all aspects of the game. However, he utilizes coaches skilled in the different areas of the game such as offense, defense and special teams.Below are six areas in life where we can use Area Specific Mentors/Coaches:Physical/HealthFamilyMental/EducationalCareer/FinancialSocial/CivicSpiritual/EthicalSeriously you say, do we and specifically myself really need a mentor? Lets look at the facts:No one person will live long enough to make all of the mistakesIn simple terms, mentors speed the learning process and are the reason for advancements in technology and the standards of living we enjoy today.The last half-century has seen very little change statistically.Using the oft-quoted post-war study published by the Social Security Administration and Denveys Economic Tables, less than 5% of the population at that time retired wealthy or financially independent. Sadly, a study done in March 2000 by the American Economic Review reported that the gap between "the haves" and "have nots" is widening.Grade-Point-Score averages, according to studies, have barely been maintained over the last 50 years. Moreover, in professional sports, with all the advancements in mind and physical development, one would think that the number of super stars being produced would have increased dramatically; however, as a percentage, it remains virtually unchanged.With the explosion of entrepreneurial opportunities in franchising and network marketing beginning in the 1980s, plus the same explosion from the mid-1990s on in Internet businesses, why doless than 5% of the participants in these ventures enjoy success and make any money! WHY?Research and my own experience, which includes teaching an entrepreneurial course at a major community college for several years and working with several thousand participants in my Success and Wealth System course, leads me to one indisputable conclusion - Most people are without mentors, especially "Life Mentors."You may say: It only happens in movies or for those talented few you say! How about the heroics and courage against unbelievable odds in athletics, the military and in everyday life. These qualities of character and achievement were learned from a true Life Mentor such as parents, teachers and those who have paid the price to be called a Mentor.Yes, we all need good Life Mentors and Coaches at every stage of our lives. But be careful to choose those who walk the talk and demonstrate and exemplify the life qualities and achievements in their own life.(c) Copyright Futures Management Services Inc.About The AuthorCharles Lalonde is the author of Revealing The Secret Formula In Think and Grow Rich and has developed two workshops, Performance Accelerator Sales System and Success and Wealth System eCourse, which are designed to help individuals realize their dreams and potential.

As we approach Good Friday, I'd like to look back at one kind of gospel text which mentions "the cross", and consider it historically. It is difficult for us to put ourselves in the mindset of the ancient world, where crucifixion was a mark of shame, of public humiliation and terror, and had no religious connotations at all. The ritual humiliation actually began before the crucifixion proper:Before the execution, the victim was scourged (Mark 15.15; War 5.11.449-51). He then had to carry the transverse beam (patibulum) to the place of execution (John 19.17), and was nailed through hands and feet to the cross (see Luke 24.39; John 20.25), from which a wooden peg protruded to support the body; some of these literary details are confirmed by archaeological finds of the bones of crucifixion victims.(1)One account - reported of the scourging of another Jewish rebel by Josephus - mentions how he was scourged until the bone showed. This wasn't just whipping, it was tearing at the flesh. It was horrific.According to ancient historians such as Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus, various kinds of crucifixion (e.g., impalement) were used by the Assyrians, Scythians, Phoenicians, and Persians (see also Ezra 6.11). The practice of crucifixion was taken over by Alexander the Great and his successors, and especially by the Romans, who reserved it for slaves in cases of robbery and rebellion. Roman citizens could be punished in this way only for the crime of high treason. In the Roman provinces crucifixion served as a means of punishing unruly people who were sentenced as "robbers." Josephus tells of mass crucifixions in Judea under several Roman prefects, in particular Titus during the siege of Jerusalem; the same also occurred in the Jewish quarter of Alexandria, according to Philo. (1)In fact, Josephus tells us that after the rebellion failed and Jerusalem fell to the Romans in AD 70, that the Romans ran out of wood for crucifixions, which gives some idea of the horrific scale of that event. But after the rise of the early Church, as we see in the letters of Paul, "Christ crucified" is taken as a religious act, and it is this which we find in the earliest Gospel, that of Mark, where Jesus has just been speaking to his disciples:Mark 8.34: And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it."This is the first mention of the word "cross" in Mark. And it also has echoes of events later in Mark's gospel, where a similar wording is used:Mark 15:21: And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his crossIn Matthew's gospel, the small band of disciples has been replaced with a crowd, but the same saying occurs:Matt 16.24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.and Luke retains the crowds, but adds the word "daily", clearly making of this a metaphor for the discipline of the daily Christian life by glossing the meaning:Luke 9.23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.Matthew also has the phrase in another context, linked to Jesus making a division between the demands of family and the demands of following him, which has, in Christian based religious cults and closed denominations (like the Plymouth brethren) been used as a means of forcing obedience over ties of family, and cutting off those family ties:Matt 10.37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.This is taken up and repeated by Luke:Luke 14.26 If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.And interestingly, the Gospel of Thomas has this context, and not the other version of the saying:55 Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to Me. And whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross in My way will not be worthy of MeBut the main problem with this saying is that it has no religious meaning in its context. It only makes sense after the events of the passion when Jesus has been crucified. At the time before the crucifixion, in the context when it is spoken, it wouldn't have meant anything - Jesus had not been crucified, and no one would have had the slightest idea what he was talking about. It would have been like saying - to take a very English method of execution of traitors:And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and be hung, drawn and quartered and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it."Or perhaps:And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and be burned alive at the stake and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it."If we put it like that, we can perhaps start to see the oddity, and strangeness of the saying, as we have removed the later religious overlay, and the way in which centuries have progressively made the cross a symbol of devotion rather than brutality and shame.But the reader usually doesn't see this problem, this strangeness, because we read the passage in hindsight, and read back our own knowledge of later events and later theology into the text. It is an anachronism - a saying from a future context put back into a time where it shouldn't exist.It's interesting that the Gospel of John has a very similar saying, but without the Marcan reference to the cross:John 12:26: If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.Equally, when it becomes clear in John's narrative that Jesus has made his mind to die, Thomas calls them to follow him, in a similar way to Mark, but without the reference to the cross:When it becomes clear that Jesus has fully made up His mind to go, Thomas calls to his fellow-disciples, 'Let us go to die with Him' --an utterance which we may regard as in some sort an equivalent for the Synoptic saying 'If anyone wishes to come after me, he must take up his cross and follow me' ( Mark viii. 34, and numerous parallels). (2)Hence I think the original saying that Mark uses read something like:"If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and and follow me."After the crucifixion, when the gospels were written "take up your cross" has a meaning bound up with witness and the word we derive from the Greek - martyrdom, and it fits the text perfectly well as a gloss on the original saying. It is this secondary gloss or interpretation which finds its way into Mark, the other Synoptics, and Thomas, but which is lacking in John which may in this case preserve more of the original forms of the sayings.Links(1) http://crain.english.missouriwestern.edu/john/crucifixion.htm(2) The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel., CH Dodd, 1953r: 367.

"Nu Kua" by Susanne Iles
"Nugua's themes are balance, masculinity, femininity, cooperation and equality. Her symbols are the Yin-Yang symbol and opposites. In China, Nugua is know as 'she who restores balance.' Nugun's energy brings life back into equilibrium when circumstances may have threatened us with chaos. In art She is depicted as being part rainbow-colored dragon and part woman, representing the importance of maintaining balance between the lower and the higher self.
Around this time of year, when the daylight and nighttime hours are growing closer to equal, the Chinese hold a dragon-boat festival that revels in Nugua's balance-the masculine (yin) and feminine (yang), the light and the dark and the cooperative energies that dance between the tow. To commemorate this yourself, be sure to carry a coin with you (the heads/tails represents duality), but keep it where you won't accidentally spend it. Bless it saying,
'By day and dark, Nugua's balance impart.'
If negativity threatens your sense of stability, follow Chinese custom and drum out the evil. Use anything that has a drum-like sound, move counterclockwise, the direction of banishing and visualize Nugua's rainbow filling every inch of your home.
Offering beans, peachers and rice are also customary. So, either leave these in a special spot or eat them to internaoze any of Nuguga's attributes you need today."
"(Patricia Telesco, "365 Goddess: a daily guide to the magic and inspiration "of the goddess".)"
"Nu-Gua" by ~nuu
Today's entry is another name for a Goddess that was previously researched back on February 13, Nu Kua. Instead of reblogging that entry, I will cite what Patricia Monaghan says about Nu Kua.
"The creator Goddess of ancient China made the first human being from yellow clay. At first, She carefully molded them. At length, finding this too tedious, Nu Kua just dipped a rope into slip-like clay and shook it to so drops splattered onto the ground. Thus were two types of beings born: from molded figures, nobles; from the clay drops, peasants.
Later this serpent-bodied Goddess quelled a rebellion against the heavenly order and, when the dying rebel chief shook heaven's pillars out of alignment, She restored order by melting multi-colored stones to rebuild the blue sky. Finding other problems on earth, Nu Kua set about correcting them: She cut off the toes of a giant tortoise and used them to mark the compass' points; She burned reeds into ashes, using them to dam the flooding rivers. She also concerned Herself with the chaos of human relations, and established rites of marriage so that children would be raised well. Order restored, Nu Kua retreated to the distant sky - Her domain and Her attribute" (p. 233 - 234).

A very interesting post from www.DebbieSchlussel.com about Mosques in America. This follows this post about an ex-Muslim in Greece. This follows this article about American energy independence and preventing money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and read a very interesting book HERE!Want a Mosque Next Door to Your House? What if it Produced 2-3 Islamic Terrorists?By Debbie SchlusselWould you want a mosque that bred 2-3 Islamic terrorists-including one that massacred several college students and two others that plotted to mass murder many other innocent civilians-in your neighborhood? How 'bout right next door in a bigfoot mosque where a small house used to be?Mohammed Labadi in Front of the Mosque He Wants to Expand in the Middle of a Chicago-area NeighborhoodNow that Memorial Day is over, USA Today has moved on to the important business of whining for the religion that murdered thousands of the most recent soldiers we mourned yesterday. Today's McPaper has a large story on the inside front page of the print edition, entitled, "MOSQUE PROJECTS FACE RESISTANCE: EXTENT OF BIAS DEBATED AS FOES CITE WORRIES SUCH AS TRAFFIC, PARKING." The headline already takes an editiorial opinion that there is bias against mosques and that it's just a question of the "extent." But look at the photo, above, which appears atop the story.The picture shows Mohammad Labadi, a board member for the Islamic Society of Northern Illinois University standing in front of a DeKalb house that is currently a mosque. He and the mosque members want to expand this house into a giant mosque. Note that there is a house next door and that it's in the middle of a neighborhood. Would you want that in your neighborhood? Think the presence of a giant mosque smack dab in the middle of your street will enhance property values? Wanna hear the call to prayer at 4:30 in the morning or 11:30 at night?These people trying to expand have utter chutzpah. But they have it because we let them. Because we are too wimpy to say no, and when we do, the few brave ones who fight the good fight are persecuted and excluded by everyone else.And that's not to mention Steven Kazmierczak, who in February 2008 committed a murderous massacre against Northern Illinois University students, killing five and injuring 21 before he committed suicide. As I reported on this site, this terrorist, Kazmierczak, apparently CONVERTED TO ISLAM AT NIU and was reportedly converted by and prayed at this same mosque. Kazmierczak learned Arabic and was doing a college paper in favor of HAMAS, which he supported. Where do you think he learned all of this? At the mosque.Then, there's DERRICK SHAREEF, an Islamic terrorist who plotted to blow up an Illinois shopping mall and shoot up Jews at a synagogue. Guess where he prayed? Same mosque in DeKalb. Shareef's roommate, HASSAN ABUJIHAAD, PLOTTED TO MURDER AMERICAN MILITARY PERSONNEL WHILE HE SERVED ABOARD A US NAVY SHIP. So now it's possibly three Islamic terrorists influenced by this mosque. Praise allah. Authorities, by the way, called each of three of these terrorists, a "lone wolf," but apparently they weren't so lonely or alone. It appears they had the commonality of this mosque. The mosque is a Muslim Student Union outfit-yup, the US branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Want that in your neighborhood?Want 'em converting your kids as a gateway to Islamic terrorism? That's what happens when mosques invade neighborhoods and plop their prayer mats and hateful sermons in the middle of Middle American subdivisions and neighborhoods. It's a legitimate concern. But it's dismissed as "bias" by USA Today's sob story. And, in fact, neither Kazmierczak nor Shareef is even mentioned in the story. Shocker. We can't let the little people hear the truth. They can't handle it, and it might make 'em think Muslims don't exactly have American interests-let alone the interests of the neighborhood-in mind.Given all this, it's laughable that Labadi, whose mosque has apparently bred two Islamic terrorists-one who murdered several innocent Americans and another who tried to-wants us to think of him not as a Muslim, but as an American. If only his mosque told congregants to behave that way, rather than the exact opposite. Of course, the usual moronic suspects are bending over and assuming the dhimmi position, including some annoying far-left lesbionic ministatrix, Rev. Stacy Walker-Frontjes, of St. Paul's Episcopal Church (a church which does Lewinskys for Islam but also attacks and boycotts Israel because it's Jewish). But those in the neighborhood won't be fooled. They know that there is something strange about a house of worship that does not want to be on a main street in a business district like every other house of worship, but rather wants to pop up and expand like a mushroom in the middle of the neighborhood. Yes, there are some exceptions (like some Jewish campus synagogues), but they do not expand into the neighborhood... and don't breed 2-3 terrorists who plot to blow up Americans.The thing is, if they succeed in keeping the mosque from its absurd plan of expansion, will the Obama Justice Department step in and take them to court or threaten to? That's what the Bush Administration did for eight years and the Obama administration did for the last three-plus. And that's the real problem here. The Muslims know that they have a politically correct Department of Injustice on their side. And they take full advantage of it. Along with taking full advantage of USA Today "reporter" Judy Keen.I wonder how she'd react if they want to build a giant mosque next door to her... a mosque that has already created two bona fide Islamic terrorists.Of course, we know how she'd react. Liberals are always for this stuff until NIMBY-Not In My Backyard-comes into play for themselves.More:Mohammed Labadi has a lot at stake when the DeKalb City Council votes Tuesday on a request from the Islamic Society of Northern Illinois University to build a two-story mosque.Labadi, a businessman and Islamic Society board member, wants a bigger mosque to replace the small house where local Muslims now worship. He also hopes for affirmation that his neighbors and city officials have no fear of the Muslim community.Hey, two Islamic terrorists coming out of there already. What's to fear?"Don't look at me just as a Muslim, look at me as an American," Labadi says. It's time, he says, "to take the unfortunate stereotypes about Muslims out of the picture." The zoning commission unanimously approved the plan.Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which were carried out by hijackers from Arab countries, animosity toward Muslims sometimes has taken the form of opposition to construction of mosques and other Islamic facilities."Animosity?" Talk about a loaded word. Um, these are legitimate concerns, NOT "animosity." But leave it to this dhimmi idiot reporter, Judy Keen.Mosque opponents often raise concerns about traffic and parking, but Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU's freedom of religion program, says they can be "sham arguments" that mask anti-Muslim sentiment."I hope that eventually there will be greater acceptance for all faiths, including Islam," Mach says.Hilarious. The ACLU is suddenly concerned about "all faiths." Problem is, it constantly works against every faith EXCEPT its target for butt-snorkeling, Islam. Um, what about the civil liberty to enjoy your home and property without a gazillion HAMAS supporters crowding your street and waking you up at all hours all of the time?Some people who object to mosque projects say religion is not a factor. The DuPage County home where Jacqueline Sitkiewicz has lived since 1978 is adjacent to a house the Islamic Center of Western Suburbs (ICWS) hoped to use as a mosque. The county board voted against the plan this month.Sitkiewicz says her concerns were traffic, drainage and the effect on property values. "I don't care what their religion is," she says. "This is a residential area, that's all of it." ICWS lawyer Mark Daniel says the group is considering legal action....Lawyer Marc Grenier represents condo associations that object to plans for a Norwalk, Conn. mosque. The size of the project, parking and the impact on neighboring properties are their chief concerns, he says. "Our opposition... has nothing to do with anyone's right to worship."And here is my favorite part:Says Othman Atta, the Islamic Society's executive director, some opponents said the mosque would teach violence and impose Islamic law. "The level of knowledge about Muslims is pretty abysmal," he says. "People, if they don't understand something, they tend to fear it."Ask Mr. Atta to condemn Hezbollah and HAMAS, and you'll have a tough time getting a straight answer. And that's because our level of knowledge about Islam is quite extensive. Um, Mr. Atta, we know a lot about Muslims and Islam. That's your problem. We understand it quite well. And we have every reason to fear it. 3,000 reasons on 9/11. 12 reasons at Fort Hood. 300 reasons at the U.S. Embassy and Marine Barracks in Beirut.And many more reasons in videos of Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, and so many thousands of others who were murdered in the name of a religion we understand so very well.

Let the influences of Thy diving ones descend upon my head, and teach me the value of self-sacrifice so that I shrink not in the hour of trial, but that thus my name may be written on high and my genius stand in the presence of the holy ones."

WHAT DO NEOPAGAN DRUIDS BELIEVE?
Many of the members of A'r nDrai'ocht Fe'in: A Druid Fellowship, Inc. ("ADF")
have come to accept most of the following beliefs. However, it's important to remember that not everyone would use the term "belief" in reference to these concepts, and that every concept mentioned has a wide variety of accepted interpretations within the organization.
Thou Art God/dess
We believe that divinity is both immanent (internal) and transcendent (external), with immanence being far more important for us to pay attention to at this crucial phase of human history. Deities can manifest at any point in space or time which They might choose, including within human beings (through the processes known as "inspiration, channeling," and "possession").
Goddesses and Gods
We believe that divinity is as likely to manifest in a female form as it is in a male form, and that the word "Goddess" makes just as much sense as "God." Women and men are spiritually equal, and "masculine" and "feminine" attitudes, values, and roles are of equal importance.
Polytheism
We believe in a multiplicity of gods and goddesses, as well as lesser beings, many of Whom are worthy of respect, love and worship. We have a wide variety of nonexclusive concepts as to the nature of these entities. While some of us believe in a "Supreme Being," Neopagan Druidism is emphatically polytheistic. We have no figure of ultimate Evil.
Nature Worship
We believe that it is necessary to have respect and love for Nature as divine in Her own right, and to accept ourselves as part of Nature and not Her "rulers."
Many of us accept what has come to be known as "the Gaia hypothesis," that the biosphere of our planet is a living being, Who is due all the love and support that we, Her children, can give Her. We consider ecological awareness and activism to be sacred duties.
Cautious Technophilia
We believe in accepting the positive aspects of Western science and technology, but in maintaining an attitude of wariness towards the supposed ethical neutrality of that science and technology. We also consider it important that scientists (like everyone else) pay as much attention to their means as they do to their goals.
Religious Freedom
We believe that monolithic religious organizations and would-be messiahs and supergurus are a hindrance to spiritual growth. We believe that healthy religions should have a minimum amount of dogma and a maximum amount of eclecticism and flexi- bility. Neopagan Druidism is an organic religion, and like all other organisms is growing, changing, and producing offshoots.
Positive Ethics
We believe that ethics and morality should be based upon joy, love, self-esteem, mutual respect, the avoidance of actual harm to ourselves and others, and the increase of public benefit. We try to balance people's needs for personal autonomy and growth with the necessity of paying attention to the impact of each individual's actions on the lives and welfare of others.
Religious Toleration
We believe that it's difficult for ordinary humans to commit offenses against the Gods and Goddesses, short of major crimes such as ecocide or genocide. Our deities are perfectly capable of defending Their own honor without any need for us to punish people for "blasphemy" or "heresy."
The Good Life
We believe that human beings were meant to lead lives filled with joy, love, pleasure, beauty and humor. Most Neopagans are fond of food, drink, music, sex, and bad puns, and consider all of these (except possibly the puns) to be of spiritual value. However, we do not approve of addictive or compulsive behavior and we support people with dysfunctional histories who have entered appropriate recovery programs.
Magic and Mystery
We believe that with proper training, art, discipline and intent, human minds and hearts are fully capable of performing most of the magic and miracles they are ever likely to need. Magical/miraculous acts are done through the use of what most of us perceive as natural (some say "divinely granted") psychic talents.
Liturgical Art and Science
We believe that there is an art and a science to creating, preparing and performing worship rituals. Our worship celebrations are continually evolving as we search for the most intellectually satisfying, artistically beautiful, spiritually powerful, and magically effective rites possible.
Connecting to the Cosmos
We believe in the importance of celebrating the solar, lunar and other cycles of our lives. We consciously observe the sol- stices, equinoxes and the points in between, as well as the phases of the moon. Such "rites of intensification" are human universals, as are the various ceremonies known as "rites of passage" --
celebrations of birth, puberty, personal dedication to a given deity or group, marriage, ordination, death, etc. Together these various sorts of observations help us to find ourselves in space and time.
Born Again Paganism
Many of us believe in some sort of afterlife, usually involving rest and recovery in the Otherworld before reincar- nating. We have no concept of
"eternal" punishment, refusing to worship deities who could be that cruel.
Hope and Action
We believe that people have the ability to solve their current problems, both personal and public, and to create a better world. Our utopian vision, tempered with common sense, leads us to a strong commitment to personal and global growth, evolution and balance.
Mystic Vision
We believe that people can progress far towards achieving personal growth, evolution and balance through the carefully planned alteration of their "normal"
states of consciousness. We use both ancient and modern methods of
concentration, meditation, reprogramming and ecstasy.
Community Responsibility
We believe that human interdependence implies community service. Some of us are active in political, social, ecological and charitable organizations, while others prefer to work for the public good primarily through spiritual means (and many insist on doing both).
Authenticity
We believe that if we are to achieve any of our goals, we must practice what we preach. Neopagan Druidism, like any other religion, should be a way of life, not merely a weekly or monthly social function. So we must always strive to make our lives consistent with our proclaimed beliefs.
Cooperation and Defense
We believe in cooperation and ecumenical activities with those members of other faiths who share all or most of these beliefs. We also believe in resisting efforts by members of dysfunctional religions who seek to persecute us or suppress our human rights.
There's more to our beliefs than these few details, of course, and a great deal of variation in how these beliefs are extended to cover other topics. Some of our members are pacifists and others are in the military; some are animal rights activists and vegetarians, others are carnivorous hunters; some are committed to conservative and others to alternative life styles. We actively encourage everyone to apply these principles to the practical questions of their daily lives.

Alternative Tarot
One of the more useful alternative card layouts was one published in the book
'Choice Centered Tarot' by Gail Fairfield, and I thought I'd share it with folks here:
[Numbers represent order the cards are laid out in, 1 being first]
10
Key Factor
9
Probable Result
7 8
Resource for step Interference to step
6
Needed Step towards goal
5
Goal To Seek
1 & 2 3 & 4
What's wrong at Present What's right at Present
Interpretation: The concept of 'right' and 'wrong' is meant as being what is the unnatural and natural events and people in the situation you are reading for to help identify hindrances to the most useful goal to go towards (5).
(7) is a Resource that is present or that must be tapped by the person(s)
involved to achieve the goal, while (8) is any interference, such as personal procrastination or a financial setback that is hindering the movement towards the goal. (9) represents where things may lead towards once the goal has been reached and (10) is a key factor overall to watch for while dealing with the whole 'big picture' of the reading.
Why use this layout? Well for some it is easier to deal with the present more than to reflect on the three states of time (past/present/future) and it is also easier for some people to center themselves by dealing with thoughts as a seried of goals to be reached and then moved past to other things. This layout is more Jungian in construct than magickal, that is it is designed to work well with the psychological triggers of the human mind to assist in making decisions.
Do I use it? Occasionally, and I also use a Variant Celtic Cross and a few other patterns (some of which I may present later), as well as occasional 'free form'
reading forms [Which I've had described as looking much like old fashioned programmers flow charts for computer programming]. It depends on who I'm reading for, the circumstances of the reading, the deck I'm using and the kind of question(s) I'm trying to help them answer for themselves.

Procedure for Removal of Lower Vibration Energies
Conscious Astral Projection, requires you to remove the "lower
Vibration" or "Negative Energies" from your physical and mental self. Failure to do this will no doubtly result in a non-fulfilling experience. Most of the time, unless you release these energies, you are not able to consciously project in the fullest capacity.
I have used these techniques, and have had a very good response by their usage. However, you must follow the steps completely. If there is any chance of fatigue, postpone this procedure until you have rested fully, and can function with a clear head...
PREPARATION:
A quite place to recline undisturbed, without the chance of fatigue..
PROCEDURE 1: Relaxing the inner self...
1. Do not cross your legs or wear tight fitting clothing that might cut off your circulation in any way.
2. Relax you body and clear your mind from the conflicts of the day..
3. Allow your mind's eye to picture a special place..this can be a beach, meadow, or other calm tranquil place of your choice.
4. Imagine that it is a clear day, the sun is warm, and there is a slight breeze blowing across your body. You feel the breeze toss your hair slightly...
** After you achieve a peaceful feeling, proceed to step 2 **
PROCEDURE 2: Cleansing the inner self...
1. Follow the steps in procedure 1 first...
2. Imagine that your body is a glass container, what ever shape you desire... It is helpful at this point to just use your image.
3. Allow your body to fill itself with a warm, orange colored liquid.
There are several major negative energies to concentrate on, however we will use the most common at this point.
4. It is important that you notice the feeling of the liquid, and that it is a pleasant feeling of warmth.
5. Allow yourself to concentrate on the feelings of ANGER, JEALOUSY, HATE, GREED, LUST, and VANITY. You must think of each negative force and release each one into the liquid slowly, one at a time.
6. After you have released the lower vibrations into the liquid, notice in your minds eye...that the liquid has now thickened a bit. It is changing colors from orange to a darker color.
7. Allow your fingers and toes to become as a spicket...allow the liquid to ooze out from your container slowly. You notice a feeling of tranquillity after it is released. Again, do this slowly and note the changes in yourself.
8. Now that the liquid has completely dispersed. Draw on the energies of the light from the sun to fill your glass container. As you do this allow your container to take on the form of your physical body again.
9. The energy from the suns white light is beginning to RADIATE! You must say this to yourself 3 times..."RADIATE RADIATE RADIATE"..
10. You begin to feel the white light fill your body with its pure energy.
All of the lower vibrations are gone, and you may now continue onward with your pre-astral plans...
I trust that your experience was a pleasurable one, and that you will pass along this document to someone that could benefit from its use. If you find that it has helped you...why not leave me a note describing your feelings on the subject, on Astralite...
Until we meet again,
"The Wizard Ariel"

"The Predict Potential boss all forbids that the Predict be likened to any of the things unambiguous by men, like every ploy deriving from some conceptual image according to our understanding, which is the product of belief about the Predict Location, makes an idol of God and does not proclaim God."1" - St. Gregory of Nyssa
"GOD IS Trimming Each and every one Icon."
The Saintly Fathers methodically draw the attention of the Taciturn to a very thoughtful matter-one which simpler Christians, in draw to a close, have to to hold on now nurture. The subsequent command a chutzpah, especially while they pray, to try to assert forms and shapes to God, in order one way or another to concoct pure His specter while they stand ahead of time Him.
This chutzpah, at a standstill, is ailing and is regarded [by the Fathers] as the beginning of spiritual dodge (); it arises out of the vainglory of the core, as St. Neilos assures us: "The beginning of dodge is the vainglory of the core, aroused by which, the core attempts to here the Predict in form and shapes."2
To be unambiguous, in Saintly Scripture "assorted things" are meant "indoors God which are outstanding pertinent to what is real";3 but the Saints decode to us that these anthropomorphic language essential not be full honestly or in their systematic circumspection, but "allegorically": "Everything that is meant of God as if He had a largeness is meant allegorically, but has a pompous meaning; for the Predict is simple and elusive."4
Probing FOR THE "Concealed Appreciate."
When, as material beings, we are virtuous with "this antagonistic flesh," it is unused for us to understand or to starve yourself "the Predict, magnificent, and unrelated energies of the Godhead," keep out by machination of images, types, and symbols that fall in with to our figure.5
Just about is a certain example: Saintly Scripture meeting of the "eyes, eyelids," and "think about" of God. For example is the "pompous meaning" of these? Let us hold on the Saints as guides, so that, mounting from what is meant "allegorically" and "corporeally" about God, we power act at its "unnoticed meaning."6
Let us understand, says St. John of Damascus, by the "eyes, eyelids," and "think about" of God, His power to nonstop all things, as well as His knowledge, from which minute allowance can escape. By similarity, this symbolism applies to us, like we are perceptive that by this circumspection of think about we, too, get outstanding all-inclusive knowledge and learning.7
GOD IS "IN Each and every one Bereavement Fading Nicely OR Run to."
But this truth-that "everything that is meant of God as if He had a largeness has some unnoticed meaning which, with things twin to our figure, teaches us things that are boss us"8-should not lead us to form mental "conceptions" of God, Who is higher than depiction, that are affable with and that fall in with to our bodily figure.
And this is the same as, as St. Nicodemos the Hagiorite says, "harmonize as God is higher than all basis and sensory things, and higher than all mode, color, magnitude, and place, like He is in every adulation fault form or act, alive someplace, and is boss everything, so, plus, is He higher than every image"; "no image has any pick up to God, for, to put it only this minute, He transcends every design."9
As well, the God-bearing Apostle Paul reminded the Athenians of this point: "We have to not to grasp that the Godhead is when unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's plan."10
For this infer, the Saintly Fathers place special substance on the fact that, "like God is spiritual, invisible, and unrelated, devoid of mode, uncircumscribable, and mysterious, it is unused to make an image of Him; for, how can the imperceptible be portrayed?"11 "It is the even of insanity and malice to leave form to the Predict."12
CHRIST "SAT AT THE Pure Confer OF GOD."
For that reason, we essential not grasp in material requisites, while we bring together the Saintly Evangelist recounting that, "on one occasion the Member of the aristocracy had spoken unto them, He was standard up now Heaven, and sat on the ability hand of God."13
We essential understand our Savior's "inactive at the ability hand of the Set out" symbolically; it is described in this way in order to play a role His "affiliation and regularity of remain to the Set out,"14 that is, to assert that our Member of the aristocracy, the God-Man, is "on one throne" with and "equal in remain" to His Adorable Set out, with Whom He "reigns, is august," and "is hyped."
The Saintly Apostle Paul says that the Son of God, on one occasion good us, "sat down on the ability hand of the Nation on high,"15 and, on one occasion His remote abasement, "is set down at the ability hand of the throne of God";16 in the Set apart Apocalypse, Christ Himself is represented as saying: "I plus overcame, and am set down with My Set out on His throne."17
The Predict Damascene very excellently and fine summarizes the teaching of our Place of worship on this subject: We assume "that Christ sits in the largeness at the ability hand of God the Set out," little we do not mean "that the ability hand of the Set out is an actual place"; for, how could "He that is uncircumscribed command a ability hand short-range by place? Pure hands and dead hands belong to what is bordered."
And the God-bearing Saint concludes: "We understand the ability hand of the Set out to be the acknowledgment and remain of the Godhead in which the Son of God, Who existed as God ahead of time the ages, essence of one ultimate with the Set out, in the convene days became embodied, and in which He sits corporeally, His flesh essence hyped together with Him; for He, unhappy with His flesh, is highly thought of with one be keen on by all brew."18
"O all ye peoples, let us sing a song of victory unto Christ, Who is full up with acknowledgment upon the shoulders of the Cherubim, and Who hath seated us together with Himself at the ability hand of the Father; for He is hyped."19

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:2 KJV)
"From the bible, we know that God created angels. (Colossians 1:16-17) We know that angels interact with humans at the behest of God. (Luke 1:26-38) They deliver messages. (Daniel 9:20-23). They fight for territory. (Daniel 10:20). They guard humans (Matthew 18:10) and report to God on the actions of children, anyway (Matt. 18:1-14) and perhaps to individually minister to adult Christians also (Hebrews 1:14). Angels are divided into hierarchies and troops, including both good and evil angels, and special categories such as cherubim, seraphim, and the archangel. They are invisible. (2 Kings 6:17). They look like men sometimes, (Gen 18:1-2) and other times they look like glory (Matthew 28:2-4) and other times they look like metal and lightning (Daniel 10:5-6) and still there are other angels who look completely unusual and beyond description (Revelation 4:6-8). [For the record, with one debatable exception, angels are not biblically described as having any wings"]
Surely, it is a blessing that there is a class of created being whom God uses for His glory and for our help. It is a blessing also to think that we may entertain one of them at some point in our lives!
"But do not forget, there is another class of angels. There was a rebellion in heaven, and the highest angel, one created to guard the throne itself, tried to vault himself above God and was kicked out of heaven for it. His name is Lucifer, whose title is now the devil, adversary, satan. And even though a third of the multitudes of angels lived with" God, and "saw "His glory and "knew "His heart, Lucifer was apparently so convincing that they sided with him AGAINST God, and so they were kicked out too. (Revelation 12:3-4,9)
Not everything supernatural is from God! If you entertain angels unawares, it may be a good angel sent to minister to you. Or it may be a fallen angel, sent by satan to thwart you, deceive you, or hinder you. ( also 1 Tim.4:1-3; 2 Cor.11:13-15) "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)
If you are reading this before the rapture, Christian and non-believer, be aware that deceit comes in a guise wrapped in a beautiful package. Fallen angels would look just like the glorious angels, as stated above in the Corinthians verse. If you are a Christian, you should be praying daily to receive wisdom, and it will be given to you without reproach. You should be in the Word daily so that you will know the truth from a lie. If you are a non-believer reading this after the rapture, know that your odds of learning the truth have diminished but you can pray to Jesus to forgive you of your sins (if you are truly sorry for your bad acts and thoughts, that is) and He will forgive you. He will send the Holy Spirit to you to help you discern the truth from a lie. Without His help, you are at the mercy of an adversary who can and does 'appear to us unawares' and always for the purpose of destroying us!
NOT EVERYTHING SUPERNATURAL IS FROM GOD! "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders," (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Angels might surround you unawares, but YOU should not be unaware of satan and his angels' counterfeiting abilities!
