God Vs Science Nothing To Do With Einstein Everything To Do With An Urban Legend

My Dad has a Christian friend from his days in the Navy, whom he emails with. He onward a lot of joke emails he gets, and some of the emails are from his Christian friend. This is one of those: SUBJECT: God vs Science This has been roughly before, but cost reading again! Guaranteed of you may enjoy not seen it a beefy arguement. God vs. Science set aside me make allowances for the unrest science has with religion.' The doubter lecturer of philosophy pauses before his class and as a consequence asks one of his new students to stand.'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?' clearly sir,' the learner says.'So you character in God?'reasonably. ''Is God good?' 'Sure! God's good.''Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'clearly'Are you good or evil?''The Bible says I'm evil.' The lecturer grins by design. 'Aha! The Bible! He considers for a next. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a poorly one all the way through featuring in and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'clearly sir, I would.' 'So you're good!''I wouldn't say that.'provision why not say that? You'd help a poorly and maimed one if you possibly will. Limit of us would if we possibly will. But God doesn't.' The learner does not pledge, so the lecturer continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of menace, even little he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Can you pledge that one?'The learner lees meticulous. 'No, you can't, can you?', the lecturer says. He takes a sip of water from a opening on his move to honor the learner time to short vacation. 'Let's start again, ahead of schedule fella. Is God good?''Er..yes,' the learner says.. 'Is Satan good?'The learner doesn't halt briefly on this one. 'No.' as a consequence but does Satan come from?'The learner falters. 'From Idol'That's now. God ready Satan, didn't he? Discern me, son. Is nearby evil in this world?'clearly, sir..''Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'clearly'So who shaped evil?' The lecturer continued, 'If God shaped everything, as a consequence God shaped evil, like evil exists, and according to the gathering that our works define who we are, as a consequence God is evil.' Another time, the learner has no pledge. 'Is nearby sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these complete property, do they rest in this world?'The learner squirms on his feet. clearly.''So who shaped them?'The learner does not pledge again, so the lecturer repeats his small business. 'Who shaped them?' Current is immobile no pledge. Rapidly the spokesperson breaks apart to pace in lead of the classroom. The class is rapt. cooperate me,' he continues onto additional learner. 'Do you character in Jesus Christ, son?'The student's declare betrays him and cracks. clearly, lecturer, I do.'The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you enjoy five senses you use to detect and carry out the world roughly you. Maintain you ever seen Jesus?''No sir. I've never seen Him.'as a consequence cooperate us if you've ever heard your Jesus?''No, sir, I enjoy not..'enjoy you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Maintain you ever had any sensory agreement of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?' 'No, sir, I'm shy I haven't.'nevertheless you immobile character in him?'clearly'According to the signs of empirical, testable, verifiable protocol, science says your God doesn't rest. When do you say to that, son?' not an iota,' the learner replies.. 'I and no-one else enjoy my responsibility.'clearly, responsibility,' the lecturer repeats. and above that is the unrest science has with God. Current is no make a note, and no-one else responsibility.'The learner stands unobtrusively for a next, before asking a small business of His own. lecturer, is nearby such thing as heat? 'Yes.and above is nearby such a thing as cold?'clearly, son, there's cold too.''No sir, nearby isn't.'The lecturer turns to meaning the learner, distinctly nosy. The room small becomes very culminate. The learner begins to make allowances for.' You can enjoy a lot of heat, even further heat, super-heat, mega-heat, infinite heat, white heat, a juvenile heat or no heat, but we don't enjoy at all called cold. We can get down to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any sustain formerly that. Current is no such thing as cold; or else we would be controlling to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Everybody or object is insightful to study gone it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a crate or revere enjoy or enter energy. Extensive zero (-458 F) is the tally wish for of heat.You see, sir, cold is and no-one else a word we use to appeal to the wish for of heat. We cannot bang cold. Emission we can bang in thermal units to the same extent heat is energy. Unfeeling is not the push of heat, sir, just the wish for of it.'Silence with a leg on each side of the room. A pen drops where in the classroom, sounding upmarket a thud.equally about darkness, lecturer. Is nearby such a thing as darkness?'clearly,' the lecturer replies short doubt. equally is night if it isn't darkness?' 'You're injustice again, sir. Heaviness is not something; it is the wish for of no matter which. You can enjoy low light, usual light, smart light, discontinuous light, but if you enjoy no light recurrently you enjoy not an iota and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In devotion, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be controlling to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'The lecturer begins to smirk at the learner in lead of him. This leave be a good semester. 'So what blackhead are you making, ahead of schedule man?'clearly, lecturer. My blackhead is, your deep assumption is marked to start with, and so your come to an end requirement furthermore be marked.' The professor's meaning cannot cover his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you make allowances for how?''You are working on the assumption of duality,' the learner explains. 'You question that nearby is life and as a consequence there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are transmission the object of God as no matter which finite, no matter which we can bang. Sir, science can't even make allowances for a take pains. It uses electricity and appeal, but has never seen, much less distinctly inferred either one. To view death as the push of life is to be involuntary of the fact that death cannot rest as a substantive thing. Momentary is not the push of life, just the wish for of it.' honest cooperate me, lecturer. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?''If you are referring to the natural evolutionary govern, ahead of schedule man, yes, of course I do.'enjoy you ever observed growth with your own eyes, sir?' The lecturer begins to wiggle his superintendent, immobile merry, as he realizes but the ponder is departure. A very good semester, assuredly.like no one has ever observed the govern of growth at work and cannot even test that this govern is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?' The class is in holler. The learner lees meticulous until the offended has subsided. 'To remain the blackhead you were making beyond to the other learner, let me honor you an squeezing out of what I mean.' The learner looks roughly the room. 'Is nearby being in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out indoors merriment. 'Is nearby being featuring in who has ever heard the professor's tend, felt the professor's tend, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to enjoy done so. So, according to the suite signs of empirical, abstention, verifiable protocol, science says that you enjoy no tend, with all due believe, sir.' 'So if science says you enjoy no tend, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'Now the room is meticulous. The lecturer just stares at the learner, his meaning enigmatic. Last but not least, formerly what seems an time without end, the old man answers. 'I Assumption you'll enjoy to suffer them on responsibility.'honest, you obtain that nearby is responsibility, and, in fact, responsibility exists with life,' the learner continues. honest, sir, is nearby such a thing as evil?' Now unresolved, the lecturer responds, 'Of course, nearby is. We see it every day. It is in the term paper squeezing out of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the cram of wrongdoing and roughness everywhere in the world. These manifestations are not an iota excessively but evil.'To this the learner replied, huge does not rest sir, or at minimum it does not rest unto itself. Mercilessness is handily the wish for of God. It is just upmarket darkness and cold, a word that man has shaped to appeal to the wish for of God. God did not cause evil. Mercilessness is the reckoning of what happens gone man does not enjoy God's love recommend in his improper. It's upmarket the cold that comes gone nearby is no heat or the darkness that comes gone nearby is no light.'The lecturer sat down.If you read it all the way lay aside and had a smirk on your meaning gone you ruined, mail to your friends and partnership with the handle pin-up vs. Science'PS: the learner was Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein wrote a book upper-class God vs. Science in 1921.[END]The whole thing seemed a bit "off" to me. Einstein was Jewish, and I never heard of him soul a Christian, so I did some dig. It turns out that Einstein never wrote a book called "God vs Science". He did not character in a unusual God, and was piqued of the stories soul told by church kind, claiming that he did. This from Einstein's Wikipedia page mathematics it up:Sanctimonious VIEWS In the beginning article: Albert Einstein's church views The small business of accurate determinism gave climb to questions about Einstein's setting on theological determinism, and whether or not he believed in God, or in a god. In 1929, Einstein told Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein "I character in Spinoza's God, who reveals Himself in the above-board calm of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the percentage and the commotion of mankind."[94] In a 1954 memo, he wrote, "I do not character in a unusual God and I enjoy never denied this but enjoy uttered it manifestly."[95] In a memo to wise person Erik Gutkind, Einstein remarked, "The word God is for me not an iota further than the voice and product of possible weakness, the Bible a armed of adequate, but immobile innocently primitive, tradition which are however deft immature."[96] Consistent attempts by the examine to recommend Albert Einstein as a church man riled the behindhand statement: "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my church convictions, a lie which is soul systematically haunt. I do not character in a unusual God and I enjoy never denied this but enjoy uttered it manifestly. If no matter which is in me which can be called church as a consequence it is the boundless adoration for the custom of the world so far as our science can reveal it." -Albert Einstein[97] Einstein had prior explored this belief, that man possibly will not understand the flora and fauna of God, gone he gave an sample to Cape Store explaining: "I'm not an doubter and I don't seat I can grasp face-to-face a pantheist. We are in the setting of a juvenile child secret a magnificent library extensive with books in compound special languages. The child knows someone requirement enjoy in black and white persons books. It does not know how. The child hazily suspects a eerie order in the cooperate of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the set of even the utmost intelligent possible soul en route for God." -Albert Einstein[98] I furthermore read other sources on line about this, superior Christians for "by design giving out this lie roughly the internet, to advance their religion".That may be too inhospitable an criticism. I sensation compound Christians travel document this on to the same extent they character it, and are involuntary of the facts. Ideally they neediness to check the facts crown before acting it on, but that can be held about compound property that get accepted roughly lay aside email. In the end, the reader requirement validate.I'm border a lot of Christians liked this story too to the same extent, it let's God off the spot but evil is unhinged, and argues for the being of responsibility. Yet I seat it's cutting, too. The ponder by the Christian versus the doubter is that the doubter is working from a assumption of duality. Yet isn't much of square Christian canon furthermore based on the belief in duality? The ponder versus duality actually sounds upmarket an ponder in advance of "Eastern" religion.Snopes.com says that this email is actually a transform of an town buzz, but a Christian learner puts an doubter lecturer in his place:Snopes.com: Einstein and the "Mercilessness is the wish for of God" ponderSnopes gives all the witness, and bring to a close womanhood arguments that are frequently used to good deed church responsibility in the meaning of atheistic arguments. And explains why Einstein got pulled indoors the story.Here is additional post by a blogger about this email story:God vs Evil: A Thoughtful Chain EmailIn the interpretation below it, someone quotes some excerpts from a paper by Albert Einstein, called "Science and Spirituality." Seeing that Einstein was not unadventurously church, he wasn't an doubter either. If you pick up the form a junction with, nearby are some rich quotes from the paper, as well as some other quotes by Einstein.According to Snopes, Einstein, as a "generic virtuoso performer", got built-in indoors this Conurbation Buzz. I sensation that his paper as a consequence got referred to as a book, the handle got distorted every, and claims were ready about the delighted and the author's beliefs that don't run up to inspection.It's rich to see how facts all the way through time can get partial. And it's beefy that a bit of curious on the internet can make allowances for it all, bring to light the history and link up with the dots, and set the belittle awaited again.

31 Days Of Charlotte Mason Thoroughly Christian Cm 20Th Principle Day 3

20. We allow no separation to grow up between the intellectual and 'spiritual' life of children, but teach them that the Divine Spirit has constant access to their spirits, and is their Continual Helper in all the interests, duties and joys of life.

--Charlotte Mason, Volume 6, PrefaceI know there are families out there who do what they call a secular version of Charlotte Mason. I have no doubt that their children are receiving a wonderful education. This post is not written to those folks, though I still recommend reading it because I'm talking about an experience that was very formative for Miss Mason.

As a Christian, it is important to me that my children's education be comprehensively Christian. I don't mean that we tack Bible study on to the beginning and end of our day and call it good, but that the whole thing, from beginning to end, comes under the authority of Christ.

The irony in all of this is that Miss Mason's philosophy -- though Miss Mason herself declared education to be nothing other than the handmaid of religion -- is sometimes accused by Christians of being non-christian, or at least not Christian enough.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most of the Christian critics who say this either {1} haven't read Mason's original works {a real possibility}, or {2} have within themselves the exact separation between intellectual and spiritual life that Mason's 20th Principle warns us against.

Abraham Kuyper once wrote:

There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'This is the sort of view which Mason prescribes.

Mason once experienced what she called a "great recognition" in this regard, and says in her second volume that this same recognition is "required" of parents. What sparked this great recognition? This moment of awakening? It was a fresco from the Spanish Chapel attached to the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.

The fresco which inspired Miss Mason's

"Great Recognition"

In chapter 25 of her second volume, Mason quotes John Ruskin's explanation of the fresco from his book Mornings in Florence.

Beneath the pouring forth of the Holy Spirit in the point of the arch beneath are the three Evangelical Virtues. Without these, says Florence, you can have no science. Without Love, Faith, and Hope--no intelligence. Under these are the four Cardinal Virtues...Temperance, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude. Under these are the great Prophets and Apostles...Under the line of Prophets, as powers summoned by their voices, are the mythic figures of the seven theological or spiritual and the seven geological or natural sciences; and under the feet of each of them the figure of its Captain-teacher to the World.Miss Mason then takes the pains to describe the figures of the Seven Liberal Arts {which Ruskin calls the "seven geological or natural sciences"} and their Captain-teachers {such as Euclid at the feet of Geometry} in detail. She then concludes:

[H]ere we have the breadth of minds so wide in the sweep of their intelligence, so profound in their insight, that we are almost startled by the perception that, pictured on these walls, we have indeed a true measure of the thoughts of God. {Vol.2, p. 270}

In her own day, Miss Mason saw an attempt to philosophically mutilate this beautiful Christian vision of learning. It was as our own day, in which a big black marker has drawn a thick dividing line between the level which holds Thomas Aquinas enthroned with the Law, Gospels, and Prophets on either side, and the level which holds the areas of study. These areas of study are all well and good, we say, but what have they to do with God, and what has God to do with them?

This is nothing less than a "failure to understand who God is, and what He is like".

Do we really think we would find ourselves studying grammar and arithmetic if such things did not originate in the mind of God Himself? And do we really think we can know anything without His grace giving us the insights we so desperately desire?

Miss Mason goes on:

Many Christian people rise a little higher; they conceive that even grammar and arithmetic may in some not very clear way be used for God; but the great recognition, that God the Holy Spirit is Himself, personally, the Imparter of knowledge, the Instructor of youth, the Inspirer of genius, is a conception so far lost to us that we should think it distinctly irreverent to conceive of the divine teaching as co-operating with ours in a child's arithmetic lesson, for example. {Vol. 2, p. 270}

Before we go on, allow me to tell a little story. I've been on the lookout for real, well-written science books {living books, not text-books} written by Christians that believe in a literal, physical act of creation on the part of God. You know what? I can't find what I'm looking for. Now, I've had some people tell me that this is because no one could believe that and be a scientist because the science doesn't hold up. Others have said that it is due to bias -- that it's hard to get a paper peer-reviewed when there is such discrimination against the dissenting view.

I'm going to hypothesize that it's because we've had the dividing line between sacred and secular for too many generations. It is no longer really respectable for a Christian to love science. Christians are supposed to stick to "sacred" subjects like music and theology.

Am I right?

How many schools out there echo the thoughts of the great, God-fearing scientists of the past? Imagine what the world would be like if scientists could say with Johannes Kepler:

"I WAS MERELY"THINKING GOD'S THOUGHTS AFTER HIM."SINCE WE ASTRONOMERS ARE PRIESTS OF THE HIGHEST GOD"IN REGARD TO THE BOOK OF NATURE,"IT BENEFITS US TO BE THOUGHTFUL,"NOT OF THE GLORY OF OUR MINDS,"BUT RATHER, ABOVE ALL ELSE,"OF THE GLORY OF GOD"."

Oh, how far we have fallen from a "thoroughly Christian" vision of education and of study. We sit around in fear, worrying about the gods in mythology, or the magic in fairy tales, or the mere idea of pagans like Plato or Plutarch possessing any wisdom, because our vision of education is too small, and we fail to see that God has always and ever been upon the throne, and that every word of wisdom echoes His great thoughts, regardless of whether the person speaking them ever recognizes the fact or not.

People have feared that a Charlotte Mason education was not Christian because it did not feel obligated to pin a Bible verse on every single page, while failing to see that her vision of God's sovereignty was so great that it actually encompassed the whole thing. She could say to her students, "Go. Study math because it is Good. It is Good because God made it and to learn to do math well is to be more like Him."

"Go. Study grammar. Our great God, whose Son is the Word incarnate," makes sense", and therefore language makes sense. Insomuch as you study grammar, you study the things of God."

Even grammar is His. There is no square inch that is not His, and the cry of the Christian teacher's heart is to see Him made known in every inch of the classroom.

Thus was the cry of Miss Mason's heart.

[T]HE FLORENTINE MIND OF THE MIDDLE AGES WENT FURTHER THAN THIS: IT BELIEVED, NOT ONLY THAT THE SEVEN LIBERAL ARTS WERE FULLY UNDER THE DIRECT OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY GHOST, BUT THAT EVERY FRUITFUL IDEA, EVERY ORIGINAL CONCEPTION, WHETHER IN EUCLID, OR GRAMMAR, OR MUSIC, WAS A DIRECT INSPIRATION FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT AT ALL AS TO WHETHER THE PERSON SO INSPIRED NAMED HIMSELF BY THE NAME OF GOD, OR RECOGNISED WHENCE HIS INSPIRATION CAME. All of these seven figures are those of persons whom we should roughly class as pagans, and whom we might be lightly inclined to consider as outside the pale of the divine inspiration. It is truly difficult to grasp the amazing boldness of this scheme of the education of the world which Florence accepted in simple faith. {Vol. 2, p. 271}

Every good and perfect gift comes from above.

Even geometry.

But Miss Mason does not stop there, though admittedly this alone was enough for me. She goes on to say that the Holy Spirit can "help "a child in his study, that the Holy Spirit has a daily interest in the growth of the child, that His activity is not relegated to a few great preachers or missionaries or to some "spiritual" area of life, as if all of life were not lived in a united whole.

In the things of science, in the things of art, in the things of practical everyday life, his God doth instruct him and doth teach him, her God doth instruct her and doth teach her. Let this be the mother's key to the whole of the education of each boy and each girl; not of her children; the Divine Spirit does not work with nouns of multitude, but with each single child...

[snip]

And what subjects are under the direction of this Divine Teacher? The child's faith and hope and charity--that we already knew; his temperance, justice, prudence and fortitude--that we might have guessed; his grammar, rhetoric, logic, music, astronomy, geometry, arithmetic--this we might have forgotten, if these Florentine teachers had not reminded us; his practical skill in the use of tools and instruments, from a knife and fork to a microscope, and in the sensible management of all the affairs of life--these also come from the Lord, which is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working. His God doth instruct him and doth teach him.

This has great implications for the teacher. Not only is there no division among subjects, there is no division among teachers. There is One Teacher, as Whose feet we all must sit. This vision of "teaching" is so humble, and it tells us that the prayer of the teacher can be one of real faith in God's real activity and interest in this child, right here -- in this classroom, right here -- in this subject, right here. We do not have to wait for Bible time for God to come down and teach us great things.

This is the most important lesson of all.

Magick Portends Of The Coming Autumn

From beginning to end the childhood full moon for the month of Imperial, I slipped arrived my temple to do some meditating. My gain was visiting me, and I wasn't friendly in play any magick even if he was at hand. Having the status of way back at the same time as I was a teenager, my gain has been zealously opposed to my interests in occultism, not seeing that he was a Christian and was in a state by my occult practices and beliefs, but seeing that he was an agnostic and nearly an atheist. My gain thinks that all pious practices and beliefs are a sign of depth and superstition. I didn't bidding to deduce in a argument about occultism and spiritual beliefs so he had desire ago prone up any deed of interior a devotee in anything spiritual. A substantive think over about religion and spirituality was unequivocally out of the ballot, and I rediscovered that fact at the same time as we had a suddenly but cutting remark think over about Islam. So for that parley, I staid to let my spiritual practices become internalized and inert for the childhood snag of weeks of the month.Satisfactorily, inwards the sundown of the childhood full moon I snuck off to my temple overdue my gain had gone to bed. I lit some votive incense, gave donations to the various Gods and Goddesses of my ancestors pantheon and sat down to think over. I next took out the specially charged ring from my HGA working, put it on my control, recited the special magick word three era, and also meditated on the secret name of my HGA. As I did this, I may perhaps buzz a powerful bristly itinerant down from my ring control to my hand and also down my arm. My ring control and my hand felt numb with the energies coursing up and down it. I next felt the spirit of the HGA come and cover me in its powerful idea. I felt promptly overjoyed, full of like, inspire and awe. I sensed that whatever thing in fact eloquent and magnetism was afterward to be revealed to me. The autumn was coming, I may perhaps buzz it in the air, and with it new and director engaging magickal plant and occult discoveries. The coming immigrant modify was going to bring with it masses changes, all of them educational and in its entirety good. I felt a very strong thrust of hopefulness, reformed welcome and wisdom. I didn't accurately know what was actually going to throw, but I knew that it would be propitious and enormous. The sensations of well-being, source of pleasure, bliss, and a blithe thrust of hopefulness pervaded my interior for a desire categorize of time. Subsequently I done my meditation and took off the ring, permanent it to its bag, I self-possessed felt the complimentary energies within me. I went to catch a few 'z' s a bit later full of peaceful repose and my pinpoint elated at the promise of the difficult. Having the status of that sundown, bits and pieces are beginning to self-evident in a trend that I had not back suspected. I was having revelatory thoughts wherever various bits and pieces that had forlorn me in the unlikely were interior barred to me in their fullest welcome. A procession in side by side is the Grimoire of Armadel, which I confess mystified free for thirty time, ever so it was published in 1980. I had been unable to use this grimoire for far off of anything, but marveled free the various sigils and characters that it unspoken. Virtuous the other day the whole mystery of that grimoire was totally lifted from me. I supposed how it may perhaps be used in its full, notwithstanding it would claim a careful rehash. This display happened in non-discriminatory a snag of days, and at hand are other information and inspirations starting to emerge rule what must be my creative trend - whatever thing that a person has within them, but straightforwardly some can actually get in touch with. This is non-discriminatory the beginning of a very essential time for me, and it will turn out to be an essential time for others as well. Epoch some are interior overformal by the in name only Mercury retrograde, I am experiencing a ancestors and home-based awakening. Portray is no problem with communications, electronic campaign, or anything excessively, for that firm. These are the portends and auspices of an autumn and winter magickal recovery for me and my relatives. I confess to gift that I am scatty by what appears to be occurrence to me, and I am looking memorable to the difficult. Having the status of I am an essayist and a learned, I will be next seeking to fund this new knowledge and experiences with my students and readers. The very first put out will be posted afterward, wherever I will reveal what I confess revealed in regards to the Grimoire of Armadel. Masses other articles and discourses are studied as well. For now, I must good profound within in my opinion and calculate the person of the magickal plant that will triumph over me for the in imitation of six months. Winters in Minnesota are desire, icy and predictably pall, so at hand want be ample of time to work out the information for difficult ritual plant, and also implement them free the desire winter months. I need some time to think over and to moderator some very profound cogitation worsening any distractions - favorably, that will throw afterward. Frater Barrabbas

Sean Stone Alien Encounters Enlightenment And World Peace

PUBLISHED ON AUG 20, 2014 Alien encounters and the spiritual consciousness of extraterrestrials that can be unlocked as a potential tool to initiate world peace on Earth is discussed with author and activist, Kaoru Nakamaru. Cleansing the soul, interacting with heads of state, and unlocking the higher frequencies of awareness that can liberate the minds and hearts of humanity are all explored in this Buzzsaw interview hosted by Sean Stone.GUEST BIO:Princess Kaoru Nakamaru is International Political Affairs Commentator Director of the International Affairs Institute for World Peace President of Following the Sun Association. The granddaughter of the Meiji Emperor, Princess Kaoru Nakamaru spent her early childhood in the Forbidden Castle in China. While at Columbia University and in graduate school, she furthered her research into international politics and since 1970, as a journalist, has interviewed kings and presidents, prime ministers and business people from many countries, and has given speeches, written books, and appeared on television as a commentator on international political affairs. In 1973, she was acclaimed in the U.S. magazine, Newsweek, as the "World's No.1 interviewer," and the Washington Post described her as "one of those rare women in the world with an outstanding international sensitivity." Later, she was producer, director, and interviewer of her own Japan/U.S. talk show, for which she traveled to war-torn areas around the world and carried out positive discussions with the heads of state of those countries. In response to her personal diplomacy Kaoru established the "International Affairs Institute for World Peace" in New York in 1985, and in 1991, the "Following the Sun Association" was organized for people aspiring toward peace. Nakamaru's aim is for a "world peace through human renaissance. Wealth, fame, power do not make humans happy, as true happiness is borne from a heart filled with love, harmony, and peace. When there is peace within the hearts of each person, from VIPs to average citizens, then world peace is realized. The phrase "one world" mistakenly conjures up a religious movement, but Nakamaru has absolutely no religion ties. Nakamaru believes in a religion of her own, but does not belong to any group, saying that, "The world transcends all the many religions, races, ideologies so there cannot be just one. As for her personal life, in 1966 she married Tadao Nakamaru, an actor who worked with Toshiro Mifune. She has a son and a daughter. From 1975 to 2014, she has published 80 books from world politics to spiritual world.

Papal Paranoia And The Astrology Of The Christian Era

First, the real news. A Geordie (a person from Newcastle) has beaten the world underpants record by donning 211 pairs at once. He began with 40 inch pairs (large) and finished with 60 inch. He commented afterwards: "I felt like if I'd had more pants I could have carried on.

"Click to Enlarge"

The record-breaking event took place on Thursday evening in South Shields. I haven't been able to find the time, but between 7.15 and 8.15 there was a Grand Trine between the Moon, Jupiter and the MC. The Moon was in Scorpio (gonads!) and expansive Jupiter is associated with record-breaking. As the evening progressed, Mars (drive) crossed the Midheaven (public event) in square to Venus in Taurus (beautiful clothing - ?)

Anyway, onto the Pope, who is making a counter-attack. His first response to the latest round of paedophile cover-up allegations, which are starting to home in on Himself, was to accuse his critics of gossip and backbiting. The Buddhist teacher I had in my misspent youth was, and is, just like this when he deigns to respond to personal criticism. It's like these people think so highly of themselves, they are so above ordinary humanity, that they cannot take seriously criticism from petty worldlings. How can ordinary humans have the temerity to comment on one who has a hotline to Absolute Consciousness?

Round two of the counter-attack came from the Pope's personal preacher Raniero Cantalamessa, who compared the criticism of the Church to anti-Semitism. It really does show that these ecclesiastical hierarchs think the criticisms are essentially baseless, because the whole point about anti-Semitism is that it is not based on anything the Jews have actually done, it is just racial prejudice. In the case of the Catholic Church, of course, the criticism is very much based on things they have done - not just the paedophile priests, but the institutional cover-up, and even tolerance of paedophilia, that has gone on.

To give the Vatican credit, they did say that Raniero Cantalamessa's remarks did not represent its official view. But the comparison with anti-Semitism is so outrageous that this bland response amounts to a tacit approval. The head of Germany's Council of Jews was quite right to call the remarks unprecedented "insolence".

Fr Cantalamessa was born on 22 July 1934 in Italy. He has a very weakly aspected Mars at 4 Cancer. This is the planet to look at when someone is being belligerent. It is not well-integrated with the rest of his personality, so he may come to regret his remarks. Cancer is a tribal sign, so Fr Cantalamessa is defending his tribe, and being weakly aspected, his Mars can express itself, and did express itself, in a primitive way. Furthermore, Pluto is making an opposition by transit to his Mars, revealing and empowering the archaic nature of Fr Cantalamessa's Mars. Both Pluto and Cancer can be very primitive in their expression.

The Pope's Mars in pugilistic Gemini is also being activated by a transiting square from Uranus. It is natally square to Mercury, so he has had plenty of years to hone it (unlike Fr Cantalamessa, who isn't very skilled with this planet.) Even so, accusing your critics of backbiting and gossip when there is a very clear case to answer is not very sophisticated, and shows the degree to which the Pope feels under attack.

I think the Catholic Church is a primitive institution, and some of its true colours are being revealed in the way it is responding to criticism.

This could be a terminal crisis for the Catholic Church. It is a huge issue. Rowan Williams, the head of the Anglican Church, recently commented on BBC Radio 4: "I was speaking to an Irish friend recently who was saying that it's quite difficult in some parts of Ireland to go down the street wearing a clerical collar now. And an institution so deeply bound into the life of a society, suddenly becoming, suddenly losing all credibility - that's not just a problem for the Church, it is a problem for everybody in Ireland.

I am sure the same situation must be arising wherever the paedophile scandal has come out. And of course it is not just about paedophiles. It is about the whole culture that has created so many of them. They are symptoms of a deeper sickness. The Church of course does not see it like that, and to that extent I think it will not be able to adapt and survive.

Since writing the above, a top Cardinal has referred to the "petty gossip" characterising the furore around the paedophile scandal, and the Pope managed not to refer to it directly in his Easter Sermon.

The Christian Era began on 1st January 1 AD, and it seems quite reasonable to me to draw up a chart for that moment as descriptive of how Christianity is faring at any given time.

"Click to Enlarge"

The Sun-Mars-Jupiter Angular t-square shows the evangelistic (Jupiter), crusading (Mars) yet conservative (Sun in Capricorn) nature of the beast. By transit, it is in for a hell of a time over the next few years as both Pluto and Uranus hard aspect this t-square. Pluto has come within 2 degrees of the Angles in the last month, and shows the deep crisis into which the Church is only just entering. The transits show that this crisis is not going to go away. Rather, it will deepen, and it is saying that the Catholic Church has to change or die. At present, it is choosing to die, and I cannot imagine any other course of action under the present Pope. If we look at the progressed chart for the Christian Era, there is a square from the Sun to Pluto that will be exact in one day (5th April 2010). The exactitude of this square tells us just how strong this challenge (square) to the power (Pluto) of the Church leadership (Sun) is. It emphasises that this crisis can only deepen.

It is fascinating to look back 500 years to the Reformation, which split the Church in two. It began in 1517 when Martin Luther posted his criticisms of the Church on the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg. That year Pluto was in early Capricorn, a couple of years short of an exact conjunction to the Christian Sun.

Of course it is not just the Catholic Church which is influenced by these transits, because the chart we are using is for the Christian Era itself. So we may expect convulsions in other Christian Churches, and that is certainly what we find in the Anglican Church (or Episcopalian Church as it is known in the US). There is currently a split between the US and African branches of the Church over the ordination of gay men that seems almost certain to split the Church in two.

As I wrote in my last post, "Popegate", the Pope's Solar Return for 2014, combined with his transits, strongly indicate he will cease to be Pope that year. So I expect to see 4 years of an embattled, disintegrating Church, followed by some sort of rebirth, maybe of an institution that is a lot smaller and poorer, but that maybe has more sense and humility.

The chart for the Christian Era has some interesting aspect patterns, but I think I'll leave that for another posting.

The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney

Flux, January 20, 2011

*This one looks so good!

Freak. That's what her classmates call seventeen-year-old Donna Underwood. When she was seven, a horrific fey attack killed her father and drove her mother mad. Donna's own nearly fatal injuries from the assault were fixed by magic-the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. The child of alchemists, Donna feels cursed by the magical heritage that destroyed her parents and any chance she had for a normal life. The only thing that keeps her sane and grounded is her relationship with her best friend, Navin Sharma.

When the darkest outcasts of Faerie-the vicious wood elves-abduct Navin, Donna finally has to accept her role in the centuries old war between the humans and the fey. Assisted by Xan, a gorgeous half-fey dropout with secrets of his own, Donna races to save her friend-even if it means betraying everything her parents and the alchemist community fought to the death to protect.

Wands

Wands can help us to focus our energy when working with magick. I've been making them ever since I was little. We use to go camping a lot when I was young, and one of my favorite past times was finding sticks in the woods and sitting by the fire carving them. I would strip most of the bark from them, then use a stone to sand them down. I use to carve symbols in the side of it. Now, I didn't realize when i was doing it that I was making wands, perhaps subconsciously, but as I look back it's the perfect example.

Yes you can buy wands in the stores, online, on Etsy, and on facebook. You can get ones with all sorts of crystals on them, and ones that have all sorts of carvings. They have ones that are all crystal as well. You can also find pewter wands and many many other types. If you find one that speaks to you by all means. :))) I've also been seeing a lot of really amazing clay ones on facebook lately. They really do have some beautiful ones out there and have found myself going ooooohhhh look at that one on more then one occasion. :)) If you are on facebook you can see an example of one of these pages here: Spiritual Mothers and Dragons. One day I may get one for myself. For now though I work with wands that I've either found or made.

You may also have a different wand depending on what type of magick you are doing, rituals, healing, basic spellwork, etc. Get creative! It's something that you will use, and it's something to help you work with energy in the ritual, so make it how you want to. You can look up the various meanings of trees and select a branch from one that you'd like to work with. Just be sure to ask the tree permission first. From there you can select gemstones that speak to you, a quartz crystal, or simply carve designs or rune shapes in the side of it.

Algiz

Autor ASTERION

Este cea de-a cincisprezecea din cele douazecisipatru de rune ale alfabetului magic nordic si cea de-a saptea din aett-ul lui Heimdall.

Sunetul pe care ^il reprezinta Algiz (pronuntat Al-ghiz) este Z, sau un sunet intermediar ^intre Z si R, iar numele sau ^inseamna "elan" sau "cerb". ^In trecut, aceasta runa era asociata cu Heimdall, zeitatea tutelara a setului, zeul rasp^antiilor si garianul intrarilor. Heimdall este paznicul mereu atent, niciodata dormind, cel care poate auzi chiar si iarba cresc^and si frunzele caz^and. Este zeul protectiei si testelor de orice fel. Forma sa exprima un om cu bratele ridicate sau o m^ana cu degetele rasfirate, dar si un copac stilizat sau poate chiar coarnele elanului. Coarnele sunt simbolul protectiei si stap^anirii, iar m^ana cu degetele rasfirate este un semn vechi c^at lumea, la toate popoarele aproape, de protectie ^impotriva raului sau influentelor negative. Putem interpreta silueta omului cu bratele spre cer ca pe un preot sau un oracol ce are legatura directa cu lumea de dincolo, paznicul care cunoaste tot ceea ce trece de o parte si de alta a Portii Vietii.

^IN POZItIE NORMALa, Algiz reprezinta echilibrul, ^intelepciunea, prudenta si protectia. Este o runa buna ^intr-un tiraj, anunt^and o perioada de stabilitate ^in progresul facut, dar si o runa care atrage atentia asupra unor posibile scapari. ^In functie de ^intrebarea pusa, protectia si prudenta lui Algiz se pot manifesta sub diferite forme.

^In domeniul social, prevesteste siguranta situatiei obtinute. Orice bun c^astigat parin munca cinstita este bine-meritate, iar fructele muncii contin ^in ele semintele succeselor si proiectelor viitoare. Ne pastram functia sau pozitia c^astigata si putem sa respiram usurati daca grijile noastre erau ^indreptate ^in acest domeniu. Beneficiem de protectie divina, si vom continua sa beneficiem de ea at^at timp c^at punem la loc de cinste moralitatea, corectitudinea si ^intelepciunea practica.

^In domeniul financiar, aceasta runa semnifica siguranta si certitudinea bunastarii. Ne este bine si ar trebui sa fim multumiti cu ceea ce avem. Luxul nu este necesar nici supravietuirii, nici fericirii, fiind doar o iluzie. Nu trebuie sa ne comparam situatia financiara cu a celor care au mai mult, pentru a nu deveni gelosi, nici cu cu a celor care au mai putin, pentru a nu deveni m^andri. Trebuie sa ne raportam strict la cerintele vietii noastre si la locul ^in care suntem acum.

^In domeniul erotic, arata buna ^intelegere ^in cuplu si dinamica perfecta. Partenerii se completeaza unul pe celalalt, ^isi cunosc nevoile, dorintele si asteptarile reciproc si ^incearca sa si le suplineasca ^in mod c^at mai armonios. Unul din parteneri, de obicei barbatul, este mai protectiv, si are tendinta de a avea grija de partenera, ^in timp ce partenera suplineste nevoia barbatului de a proteja.

^In domeniul sanatatii, aceasta runa aduce sanatate, echilibru si seninatate. ^In cazurile extrem de rare, precum accidentele care pun viata ^in pericol sau comele prelungite, aceasta runam semnifica legatura celui aflat ^in pericol cu lumea de dincolo. Poate fi runa mortii clinice sau experientelor extracorporale. ^In rest, Algiz este semnul unei sanatati aflate ^in echilibru, cu mici afectiuni fara de care omul nu ar fi om, precum migrene rare sau raceli pasagere. Vitalitatea este buna: nu exista nici lipsuri majore din rezervele de energie, dar nici supra^incarcari si puseuri energetice care sa se manifeste brusc sau nesanatos.

^IN POZItIE INVERSa, Algiz este ^intotdeauna semnul care avertizeaza, semnalul de alarma la care ar trebui sa fim atenti. ^In functie de ^intrebarea pusa, pericolul la care Algiz ne atrage atentia se poate manifesta sub diferite aspecte.

^In domeniul social, Algiz inversat anunta o situatie precara. Procedam gesit cu ceva, am ranit pe cei din jurul nostru ^in vreun fel, asa ^inc^at devenim vulnerabili. Pozitia noastra se poate schimba si sunt prevazute probleme de acomodare. Nu ne plac noile schimbari, dar ele sunt necesare pentru a ne face sa vedem unde am gresit. Trebuie sa fim extrem de atenti cu felul ^in care vorbim, g^andim, actionam si ne comportam, pentru a nu viola legile bunei cuviinte. Suntem amenintati cu scoaterea de sub protectia divina de care ne-am bucurat p^ana acum, si trebuie sa reevaluam actiunile noastre, spre a cere ^in mod concret iertare pentru cele comise.

^In domeniul financiar, aceasta runa arata pierderea sau descresterea. Daca p^ana acum am fost loviti de noroc, trebuie sa fim prudenti ^in actini si ^intelepti ^in fapte, pentru ceea ce vine rapid poate disparea la fel de rapid. Trebuie sa ne facem provizii pentru trai, sa platim datoriile restante si mai ales, sa nu facem noi ^imprumuturi. Orice credite sau ^imprumuturi facute sub semnul lui Algiz inversat, fie ca sunt personale sau bancare, sunt total descurajate, duc^and la situatii din cele mai neplacute. La fel de descurate sunt proiectele ambitioase, afacerile riscante si jocurile de noroc. ^In aceasta perioada, avem doar de pierdut.

^In domeniul erotic, aceasta runa arata o pasa proasta, ne^intelegere si discordie. Cuplul nu comunica destul de bine, pot interveni tabuuri pe care unul din parteneri nu doreste sa le abordeze, ^in detrimentul celuilalt. Comunicarea arec de suferit ^in acest caz, iar lucrurile se racesc. Partenerii nu se mai prootejeaza unul pe celalalt si nu mai lucreaza pentru placerea celui de l^anga el, maidegraba tind sa se ocupe de propriile nevoi si capricii, cu pretul unor certuri si ne^intelegeri.

^In domeniul sanatatii, poate indica un flux prost al energiei vitale ^in ^intreg organismul. Este recomandat un control pentru a stabili daca ceva este ^in neregula. Ne putem ridica tonusul general ^in momentul ^in care ^intreaga noastra fiinta este aliniata cu cei din jurul nostru, cu natura si nu ^in ultimul r^and, cu partea spirituala. Algiz inversat este semnul clasic al rupturii de Dumnezeu si al razvratirii, al uitarii originii celeste si supraumane a spiritului uman, radacina a multor boli.

Romans 13 And The State

John Cobin explains the relationship with Satan and the state:

How subsequently can the Bible say that states are "destined" or "fated" by God to be his "ministers" (Romans 13:1-2, 4, 6)? Concisely, divine rendezvous to God's service does not breath that the celebration or residence fated is holy or godly. Once all, Satan himself is destined by God, and his deeds are restricted by Stoke of luck (e.g., as the Bible describes in Job's trials and the protecting of Peter from central part sifted "as wheat" by the devil in Luke 22:31). The state is destined by God but the Bible indicates that its peak adjacent link is with the devil (Eyesight 18:9), and the state has rudely served Satan's evil designs over history, even if God in the end directs the state and disposes of it as He wills.For some good reason, plentiful Christians show off obstacle surge applying the teaching found in Romans 13. I subject the good reason why this is the bombard is equally plentiful variety lack of care to limit Romans 8 in their study of Romans 13. As definite as it may be to regard, Romans 13 is not a detached detail, but is actually an demand equal from the ancient arguments ready in the book.

In order to pinnacle understand Romans 13, it is necessary to exceed read Romans 8:28-39 (NKJV):

And we know that all cloth work together for good to frequent who love God, to frequent who are the called according to His incentive. For whom He foreknew, He overly determined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He intensity be the firstborn amid plentiful brethren. Whichever whom He determined, these He overly called; whom He called, these He overly justified; and whom He healthy, these He overly hyped.At the same time as subsequently shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be v us? He who did not discarded His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him overly unguided speak well of us all things? Who shall bring a charge v God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and moreover is overly risen, who is even at the veritable hand of God, who overly makes negotiation for us. Who shall divisible us from the love of Christ? Shall distress, or anxiety, or harassment, or famine, or starkness, or jeopardy, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long;

We are accounted as store for the annihilate."Yet in all these cloth we are boss than conquerors depressed Him who esteemed us. For I am surely that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor cloth allot nor cloth to come, nor press flat nor vividness, nor any other shaped thing, shall be virtuous to divisible us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Paul's detail in attendance in Romans 8 is that display is go fast that can bypass or setback God's will. No man, nation, power, principality, spirit, or any such can divisible man from God, if that is God's will. In substance, God is emphatically private.

(On a unfettered note, Vox Day has addressed someone who has ills understanding God's independent lifestyle. In regards to this, it is necessary to grade out that God's independent lifestyle has two components: Purposed Atmosphere and Non-interventionist Atmosphere. Romans point 8 and 13 all speak to the formerly. Reality speaks to the later. Fairly basically, display are cloth God permits as a deal out of course, due to having utter Man free will. Of course, this is a slang for a be equal with post.)

The key divan to pay point of view to in this qualify is "all cloth work together for good." Paul is claiming, by alarm, that everything that happens in this world will at some grade be hand-me-down for good. This clear is relatively reachable, additional in light of the detail found in point 11. The evil that that befell Israel in the inhospitable surroundings was hand-me-down for good. The profuse grow old the Israelites were in imprisonment was hand-me-down for good (provoking the Israelites to pang of guilt). The book of Bench, Obadiah, and other prophets all speak to God's favor to use evil nations as a way of punishing the evil of other nations. In this manner, even then again a nation may be evil, it doesn't stand to good reason that understood nation cannot toil on behalf of God.

Affable this is necessary to understanding Romans 13:1-7, which states (NKJV):

Let every kind be substance to the governing company. For display is no power hoard from God, and the company that get to your feet are fated by God. In that case whoever resists the power resists the ordinance of God, and frequent who unite will bring resolve on themselves. For rulers are not a buzzer to good works, but to evil. Do you command to be bold of the authority? Do what is good, and you will show off recognition from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not lease the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to apply spleen on him who practices evil. In that case you requirement be substance, not truly equally of spleen but overly for sense of right and wrong sake. For equally of this you overly pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Receive correspondingly to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, philosophy to whom philosophy, intimidation to whom intimidation, mark of respect to whom mark of respect.In the same way as the divinely stirred Paul claims that the power is "God's minister to [us] for good," it is wonderful to note that he is not claiming that the power itself is good. Quite, he is stating that the power exists for good. As God has claimed to use evil rulers and nations for good, it would be annoyed to clear that someone who brings about good on God's behalf is vitally good.

Paul's clear that "the company that get to your feet are fated by God," subsequently, is best thought as an demand of the detail that was ready in point 8: namely, that all cloth that suggest itself in this world are within God's independent lifestyle. Or, to state it gloomily, display is go fast any acquisitive power can do that is impartial of God's independent lifestyle. Paul's state can be seen as a form of pledge, additional in light of the harassment that Christians in Rome would unequivocally be never-ending at the hands of the state. The Christians in Rome may perhaps rest a selection of that, even in the appearance of harassment, God was calm private and that display was go fast the state may perhaps do to halt in its tracks his will.

Paul's clear that "whoever resists the power resists the ordinance of God" can best be thought as sight that Christians' incentive in life is not lawless turn. A Christian not intended to rebel v evil governments, for a Christian is intended to arrest himself with spiritual cloth, which are significantly boss wonderful the enthusiast concerns of this temporal realm. Of course, admission to the ruling is tempered by admission to God (cf. Acts 5:29).

The divan "for he does not lease the sword in nonsensical" overly seems to speak well of some Christians panic. Frequent interpret this clear to mean that the ruling is utter the power to use agency ban. So far, this may perhaps overly mean that God uses nations to apply resolve on other nations. The sword was hand-me-down all for ban and war in exceed century Rome, so it makes think logically to interpret this clear in all refinement. As it is relatively earn that the ruling has normally messed up to in good health variety who were all right worthy of such ban, it is boss astute to say that this qualify refers to God's soul to use one nation to in good health changed nation, fussily in light of the uncertainty of God's luck (cf. Philemon 15). This would crack intimidation clothed in the hearts of evil doers, for it is well unrestricted that frequent who breathing by the sword will die by the sword (cf. Matt. 26:52)

As well, note that Paul nowhere claims that the state is insuppressibly helpful or necessary. Limitation that states normally commit evil which God subsequently punishes by changed state, it would be annoyed to end in that the state itself is a helpful individualistic. It can bring about God's will, but Biblical history suggests that plentiful states show off brought about God's will outright innocently. In fact, plentiful show off brought about God's will by committing evil. It is thus special to say that the state is an insuppressibly helpful individualistic since history tells us it is not.

In defense with this observation, note the divan "the company that get to your feet are fated by God." Portray is go fast in this divan that would motion that any state requirement get to your feet. The truly outcome that can be surge equal from this is basically a encourage of Paul's detail five chapters earlier: display is no state (or any other individualistic) that exists impartial the coverage of God's power. If no state existed, God would calm be private. The personality of a utter state has no change on God's independent lifestyle and power. In that case, the personality of a state is not necessary to spell God's independent lifestyle or power.

As it stands, God's independent lifestyle is not impacted one whit by the state. God does not engage the state, nor does he ruling its personality.

I had just discovered a fascinating energy formation that was created by the four energy polarities which were symbolised by four Arthurian characters. The walk from GLASTONBURY ABBEY to the base of THETORwas full of anticipation about what might happen next. This was only supposed to be a prelude to a weekend in CORNWALL, but already it was shaping up to reveal some fascinating insights into work done this year. There was more to come in that respect, but for the moment let's return to The Tor. There are tales associated with The Tor - Ynys Witrin - The Glass Isle. It is said to be a portal into the world of Faery - that unseen yet co-present dimension of sentient energies which inhabit the same space as our physical world, but which we rarely get the chance to encounter. Here I was at the base of one of the renowned portals into that world. "With the 19th-century resurgence of interest in Celtic mythology, the Tor became associated with GWYN AP NUDD, who was first Lord of the Underworld, and later King of the Fairies. The Tor came to be represented as an entrance to ANNWN or AVALON, the land of the fairies." ("Source: Wikipedia referencing Introducing Glastonbury") Yet my thoughts were trained on the Arthurian energies. My only directive to the dowsing rods at the base of the Tor was to guide me to a place where I could work best. Nothing more specific - just that vague notion. I took off my shoes and felt the cool grass on the soles of my feet. The earth went through me like a charge, and in turn I charged off up the hill following the rods' lead. Approaching Glastonbury Tor at dusk GROUNDING BAREFOOT In my mind's eye people would have seen a sure-footed mountain goat all dressed in deep blue elegantly gliding around the steep edges of the labyrinthine terraces of the Tor. What in fact I'm sure people witnessed was a bumbling stumbling fool from out of town hopping and halting as he hesitantly hugged trails that only animals would sensibly follow while the rest of the public made their steady way to the summit. The barefoot pilgrimage served many purposes: the way was more interesting, having to dodge nettles, thistles and the dark pungent remains left by animals. It also served to ground me by putting me in direct skin contact with the land, thus removing one of the routines I would need to do before meditating. Finally, it formed part of my preparations for my much longer walk coming up in a month's time. More about that when the day comes. Then my walk came to an abrupt stop. In front of me was a crow and it wasn't moving. I decided to wait. So did the crow. We eyed each other - beady dark eye to beady dark eye. The world continued to revolve around this stalemate. Was this a sign? Or was it simply a stubborn crow who was prepared to be within four feet of a human? We admired the view together for a few more seconds and then I expressed my desire to continue my walk so the crow gently hopped to the edge and took flight. Ah I simply had to ask! Despite me having taken what felt like quite a long way to the top I emerged onto the top end of the concrete path before Kal and was soon standing on the top trying to cool down in the breeze which always seems to drift across the summit of The Tor no matter what the weather. Kal appeared and was immediately dowsing his way to somewhere beneficial. THE RETURN OF DOCTOR OBVIOUS If I were to be asked to pick an energetic place where I could do some meditative work on top of Glastonbury Tor it would not have been the place that the dowsing rods picked for me. However, if you had asked where I was most likely to find a concentration of energies then it would have been the prime candidate. The spot that the rods crossed over was the place that all the tourists visit and which many others often gravitate towards out of curiosity - the metallic-decorated sighting stone. The rods had chosen this place as a suitable place for me to contact the spirit of the hill, and without needing to ground or centre I was able to quickly gather and circulate my recent energy configuration - the four Arthurian energies in the shapes I had been told about in the Abbey down below. The Arthur energy going through my from head to foot; the Gawain and Galahad energies circling my upper and lower energy centres like fat doughnuts; and the Merlin energy a huge central vertical doughnut through which all the other energies flowed. Having generated this energy form I felt in the right state to ask a crucial question: was this a place where I could find my next quest for the Wheel of the Year - the six-week activity that would move my spiritual progress forward? The rods confirmed it was, and with their job done I laid them down and prepared to find out what that quest might be.As the air cooled around me and the dusk deepened across the Somerset Levels below I felt like a presence of subtle light arrived from somewhere around me, coalescing in my mind as a communicative voice. As a nearby bard in the church tower strummed a tune that I couldn't raise enough interest to recall, I began a dialogue with the presence of the hill. I asked the spirit if it was the spirit of the Tor and got an affirmative response. Oddly, I didn't enquire further about what or who this might be. The path of my curiosity lay elsewhere as I was sure that some distraction might soon break this vital connection. I worked swiftly, probing as to the next quest, leaving space without my mind forcing any answers. What was I to do for the next part of the year? THE SOLSTICE QUEST The statement given to me was a constructive argument: Glastonbury Tor is a Faery portal. By coming her for my quest I have therefore been given the task of ENGINEERING A MEETING WITH A FAERY by learning how to open the portal between our vibrations. As I grappled with the concept I modified the words slightly, but I was sternly pulled back to the use of the word "engineer". It was something that would require planning, preparation, and which I had to initiate. This would be no casual meeting! As the light began to fade Kal and I reconvened and began to head back down the hill. Kal had his own stories about his encounters which we talked about as we descended. As we went down crowds of revellers were staggering their way up the hill with blankets and beer in preparation for a night awaiting the official summer solstice the next morning. Seems like we timed our work just right! Back down in the town we went to one of the few remaining open caf'es called La Terre - grounding again! The theme of the Tor trip. What a lovely closure to that particular spiral! Gwas.
