Life Before Death
RAYMOND MOODY WITH PAUL PERRY. PARANORMAL: MY LIFE IN PURSUIT OF AN AFTERLIFE. RIDER, 2012.

There are three themes in this autobiography, two of which seem to be linked, and a third, which, though the author does not appear to appreciate its significance, rather contradicts it.One of the major themes of the book is, as the subtitle says, the search for evidence for an afterlife, and in more general terms the search for the meaning of life which took Moody from astronomy to philosophy to psychology and the study of the paranormal.

Moody came to fame with his study of near-death-experiences (NDEs), which he popularised in "Life after Life", published in 1975. Moody's interest in this topic was stimulated by hearing about the account of the wartime NDE of Dr George Ritchie, but it should be noted that account that Moody presents here omits the more partisan evangelical Christian features of Ritchie's story, such as being taken by Jesus to a bar where he saw demons jumping into the bodies of alcoholics. I suspect that, like alien abduction researchers, Moody and other NDE researchers often homogenise and tidy up accounts because they 'know' what ought to occur.

From studies of NDEs Moody went on to more controversial areas, such as hypnotic regression to past lives; Moody himself experienced nine of these, none of which struck me as very plausible. These accounts always seem to involve the sort of periods and topics which feature in historical romance, school histories, etc, rarely are people regressed to their life as a stockbroker's clerk in Neasden or a meat packer in Chicago. They also tend to present the folk version of the period rather than that shown by modern scholarship. I don't doubt that as a therapeutic tool this kind of past life therapy can sometimes work, on exactly the same principle as drama therapy and bibliotherapy and not because one is actual regressed to past lives. Moody is sensible in remaining agnostic about this.

Moody then moved on to devise the psychomanteum, basically a large size version of the crystal ball, where some people can powerful visions of the deceased, sometimes these occur later in what look to me like periods of micro-REM and false awakening. I rather suspect that the people who have the most vivid experiences are those who are the most powerful visualisers, and that the same is true of people who report sharing in other peoples near death experiences or having other deathbed visions, which is the topic of Moody's most recent research. I note however that in this account he overlooks his study of peoples' experiences of the Risen Elvis.

I can't help feeling that this obsession is somehow linked with another theme in this book, that of his conflictual relationship with his authoritarian father. This seems to run like a thread through many of the biographies of people involved in this field, e.g. Budd Hopkins, James MacDonald and of course Charles Fort. Was Moody's involvement in the study of the paranormal part of a revolt against his atheist father, a surgeon of the old school? I have previously commented on how some of the imagery of tunnels etc. in modern NDE accounts seems to reflect the popularity of black holes and the idea that they represent tunnels to other universes. It is perhaps significant that Moody was greatly interested in black holes himself.

The main theme of this book then, even though Moody accepts that it is a personal faith rather than a scientific fact, is that the human personality survives death in a more or less folk-spiritualist, "the body is just an envelope" fashion. However the third theme of this book is in clear contradiction of such a simple view. This is the often devastating effects of a thyroid deficiency illness on Moody's life, leading to periods of deep, at times suicidal depression and other mental and physical events, clear evidence pointing to mind-body unity. The irony seems lost on Moody. "- Peter Rogerson."

Partaking Of The Bread Of Life

Partaking Of The Bread Of Life
48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that whoever eats from it will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." (John 6:48-51 Common English Bible)

Jesus says "I am the bread of life." These words are spoken in response to those seeking seeking free bread (after he feeds the 5000 plus). Free bread had always been used by the powers to be to keep the masses quiet or to buy their support. The crowd seems to be saying to Jesus - you give us bread and will give you our allegiance.

Jesus will have none of it. He's not asking for their allegiance in a bid for political power, but is inviting them into a spiritual relationship. But of course it's more than simply that. As with the story of the woman at the well (also in John), Jesus offers himself as the means of achieving union with God - eternal life. The way this conversation plays out gives us an Eucharistic picture, and historically this text has been used as a means of defining real presence in the Eucharist. Since John doesn't have an Institution narrative, many believe that this text provides John's definition of the Eucharist.

As developed by later interpreters, as we partake of the Eucharist, we take into ourselves Jesus' real body and blood. By doing so we receive the means of eternal life. In participating in this sacrament we essentially achieve union with God.

I realize that many in the Progressive Christian community have problems with Eucharistic language, especially when it has sacrificial tones. Indeed, many have issues with speaking of eternal life, believing that such talk takes away from the important work to be done on earth. But, having hope for eternity need not take away from commitment to the transformation of this world, but it does provide a broader picture of reality.

I share the concern about some of the language as well, especially when it gets too graphic, but I wonder - is the Lord's Table simply a communal meal? Or does participation in this meal have even deeper spiritual impact? That is, by participating in this meal, might we, by faith experience oneness with Jesus, and thus with God, as we gather at the table?

In The Blockbuster Movie Avatar By James Cameron We Learn About The True Nature Of Yahweh

, , 0 Comments »
" A movie poster from: " AVATAR ". THE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE: " AVATAR " - written and directed by JAMES CAMERON - is a PROPHETICAL MOVIE and SPIRITUAL ALLEGORY that has been exceptionally well illustrated! Upon the pristine world of THE NA'VI, every single living creature serves their own: HIGHLY-UNIQUE "and "SYMBIOTIC PURPOSE"... and, while THE NA'VI are the dominant life forms created by EYWA [ or YAHWEH - The Mighty One ] to guide and protect it, THE SPIRIT OF EYWA [ His Own Holy Spirit ] actually: "PERMEATES", "INHABITS", and "SUBTLY INFLUENCES EVERYTHING "- upon their own entire world.Just take a moment to watch this THREE MINUTE PREVIEW of: " AVATAR " - by acclaimed director JAMES CAMERON - to see, what I'm talking about. You'll, definitely, be glad that you did.... America In Prophecy THE MOVIE AVATAR - by: "JAMES CAMERON" " PANDORA - The Home Tree from Avatar.So, why have I called THE MOVIE AVATAR: " A PROPHETICAL MOVIE " - because, it truthfully is! You see, THE WORLD OF NA'VI isn't [ just ] some far away planet inhabited by some amazing mythological creatures... it's, actually, THE EARTH... and, THE COMBINED NATIONS OF THE NA'VI are those very same ELVES FROM MIDDLE EARTH [ The Ten Tribes Of Israel Currently Living In North America ] having been joined to their own GENETIC BROTHERS of: JOSEPH" [ From Egypt ] and "JUDAH" [ From Israel ]... along with, THE WILD OLIVE BRANCHES - from ALL OVER THE EARTH. In fact, they are THE PEOPLE OF ZION who reverentially worship YAHWEH [ aka: "E"a" or "EYWA" ], The Sole Mighty One. " THE SPIRIT OF EYWA is in everything.Meanwhile, in the prophetical allegory of AVATAR, their own home tree of: " PANDORA " - represents THE CITY OF JERUSALEM in our modern day NATION OF ISRAEL... and, their NON-NA'VI LEADER: " JAKE SULLY [ aka, Jacob The Keen Eye" ] " - is that long-prophesied END TIME PROPHET JESHURUN [ aka, Gandolf, Neo, etc... ] who leads them to THEIR OWN EVENTUAL VICTORY. Yes, dear brothers and sisters, THE CITY OF JERUSALEM will soon be invaded - by THE ARYAN FORCES OF BABYLON! Surprised? Well, you shouldn't be... since, it's all - right there - within "THE SCRIPTURES".... " Jake receives EYWA'S ANOINTING!In fact, that IMMORAL WOMAN known as: " GRACE [ in the movie AVATAR ] "; and who has been charged with finding that: " FAILING DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION [ by, blending TWO ENTIRELY DIVERGENT SYSTEMS together ] "; is just another allegory for THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS [ that continuously mixes: THE SCRIPTURES OF YAHWEH" with "SATANIC PAGANISM" ] and thus FORMS HER OWN SPIRITUAL AVATARS - which are neither truly: "MEN", nor "NA'VI". But, in fact, EYWA has HIS OWN SPECIAL PLANS for one of them - whose own spiritual eyes are NOW COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN!You see, JAKE their own: "LONG AWAITED" and "PROPHESIED ONE" - wasn't born as a NA'VI [ or, A GENETIC ISRAELITE ]... but, that didn't stop EYWA [ or, YAHWEH ] from choosing him as their: "NEW LEADER", "PROTECTOR", and "GUARDIAN"! And, how shall they finally know him? THE SCRIPTURE says:" LISTEN, O COASTLANDS [ O AMERICAN BIBLE BELT ], to "ME" [ JESHURUN, Your Own Final Prophet ], And ' TAKE HEED, YOU PEOPLES FROM AFAR ' [ Wherever You, Factually, Are ]! THE MIGHTY ONE [ YAHWEH ] has called "ME" from the womb [ At This, Precise, Appointed Time ]; from THE MATRIX OF MY MOTHER [ All Of Her: "ILLUSIONS", "ALLEGORIES", And "DREAMS" ] HE has made mention of "MY NAME" [ MY OWN AVATARS Have Now Included:"FRANCIS RUDOLF BARBOUR"{ The Freeman - The Famous Educated One - Of High And Noble Birth }"NEO" { The Prophesied One }FORREST GUMP { The Idiot Amidst The Forrest }"FOOL ON THE HILL "{ He Who Sees The Sun Going Down }"HARRY POTTER" { Army Commander Of The Potter }"LUKE SKYWALKER "{ The Heavenly Light And Traveler }GANDOLF { The Wand Holder From Heaven }FRANCIS MOSES { Francis The Savior }"DEL SPOONER { The One Who Spoon Feeds The Masses }MICHAEL { Who Is Like God }CAL EL { The Voice Of God }"KORBEN DALLAS "{ The Peace Offering Of Love }"CHARLES F. XAVIER" { Freeman Francis The Savior }"JACOB SULLY" { Israel's Keen Eye }"PAUL ATREIDES" { The Small One Who Points The Way }"THE ALETHIOMETER" { The Magical Compass Of Truth }"COL. ROBERT NEVILLE" { The Army Commander And Famous One, Who Forges The New City }"DOUGLAS QUAID" { The Gray Son And Army Commander "JESHURUN { The Truthful One } ]AND HE has made "MY MOUTH" [ My Own Personal Writings ] like a sharp sword [ For This Very Day ]; In the shadow of HIS hand HE has hidden "ME" [ So That, Babylon Couldn't Kill Me ], And made "ME" [ JESHURUN, Your Own Prophesied Watchman ] a polished shaft [ To Strike Deeply Into Her Own Heart ]; In HIS QUIVER [ His Vast Arsenal ] HE has hidden "ME" [ Until The Day Of This Upcoming Battle ]. " - "ISAIAH 49:1-2". GANDOLF always sees what's coming!While the rest of THE NA'VI are currently living far from THE HOME TREE OF MOUNT ZION, they too shall be going through certain of these: LONG PROPHESIED and END TIME EVENTS. You see, the popular movie AVATAR is only one of these PROPHETICAL ALLEGORIES - in a long series of them! In THE LORD OF THE RINGS, for instance, we see the coming destruction in THE WILDERNESS OF NORTH AMERICA - which has [ merely ] been renamed: " MIDDLE EARTH " - due to its unique GEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS - as it is lying directly between THE WORLD'S TWO GREAT OCEANS. However, THE LONG PROPHESIED REGATHERING OF THE NA'VI to wage ' THE ONE FINAL BATTLE ' - from the movie AVATAR - will most certainly happen! In fact, you can bank upon it. After all, EYWA [ The Mighty One ] has already told us these things from within HIS VERY OWN HOLY SCRIPTURES....WHO IS MY OWN WIFE NEYTIRI?So, who is MY OWN FUTURE WIFE: " NEYTIRI " - from THE MOVIE AVATAR - and, who so boldly proclaims: " YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE "; much earlier on in the story? She represents THE CURRENT HOUSE OF JUDAH [ the spiritual counterpart of TRINITY FROM THE MATRIX ], who even now totally despises me, for everything, that I [ myself ] fully represent. I am neither: A SUN WORSHIPING CHRISTIAN, nor A KABBALISTIC JEW - and, I truthfully dare to speak up for YAHWEH Himself!But, what you all fail to realize, is that I [ myself ] didn't choose this long-prophesied POSITION OF TRUE SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY. In fact, HE ACTUALLY CHOSE ME... and THE SCRIPTURES, themselves, do clearly confirm this. For, it is very plainly written:" LISTEN, O COASTLANDS, TO ME,And ' TAKE HEED, YOU PEOPLES FROM AFAR '!THE MIGHTY ONE HAS CALLED ME FROM THE WOMB;From THE MATRIX OF MY MOTHER [ All Of Her: "Illusions", "Allegories", "Visions", and "Dreams" ] HE has made mention of "MY NAME".2 And HE has made My mouth like a sharp sword;In the shadow of His hand HE has hidden "ME",And made "ME" a polished shaft;IN HIS QUIVER HE HAS HIDDEN ME. " 3 " And HE said to "ME",' You "are" MY SERVANT, "O ISRAEL" [ "Jacob The Keen Eye" ],In whom I will be glorified. ' " - "ISAIAH 49:1-3".WHAT IS UN-OBTAIN-IUM? " TREE OF LIFE - found in MOUNT ZION".So, what exactly is THAT MOST-VALUABLE COMMODITY of: " UN-OBTAINIUM "? Come on.... You, really, haven't figured that out yet? What is far more precious than anything else in the world... and, sought after by everyone: NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, or WHEREVER THEY COME FROM? The answer, of course, has always been ' ETERNAL LIFE '. Something, that only THE TREES OF YAHWEH will be able to [ one day ] truthfully provide! But, those LONG PROPHESIED TREES shall only grow along THE RIVERS OF MOUNT ZION - just as it was, so clearly, told to you - very long ago....And, precisely, what have we now learned about YAHWEH'S TRUE NATURE - from THE BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE: " AVATAR "? The Mighty One is just as: "ALL POWERFUL", "EVER-PRESENT", and "ALL KNOWING" - as HIS OWN PROPHETICAL SCRIPTURES have, so long ago, factually told us! But, then again, that really isn't such a surprise - for some of us.... {
NOTE: It is about time to: " LIGHT THOSE LAMPS " - that YAHWEH Himself gave you. I hope, that you have already: " PURCHASED SOME OIL FOR THEM " - since, ' HIS-STORY ' is actually [ by now ] almost over!
}Other: AVATAR SPECIFIC INFORMATION The name JAKE SULLY [ literally means ]: " JACOB WITH THE KEEN EYE ".AVATAR:IN HINDUISM, AN AVATAR (pronounced as Hindustani: [tar]; pronounced as English: /'aev..tr/, from Sanskrit avatara in the Devanagari script, meaning "descent") is a deliberate descent of a deity to earth, or a descent of the Supreme Being (i.e., Vishnu for Vaishnavites) and is mostly translated into English as "incarnation," but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation".- definition, provided by "WIKIPEDIA". KALKI [ The: Tenth And Final Avatar ]:IN HINDUISM, KALKI (Devanagari: ; also rendered by some as KALKIN and KALAKI) is the "TENTH" and final "MAHA AVATAR" (great incarnation) "OF VISHNU" who will bring to an end the present age of darkness and destruction known as Kali Yuga. He will establish a new era based on truth, righteousness, humanism and goodness, called Satya Yuga. The name Kalki is often a metaphor for eternity or time. The origins of the name probably lie in the Sanskrit word "kalka" which refers to mud, dirt, filth, or foulness and hence denotes the "destroyer of foulness, destroyer of confusion, destroyer of darkness," or "annihilator of ignorance."- excerpt, provided by "WIKIPEDIA".KALI YUGA [ The Last Stage Of The World ]: KALI YUGA (Devanagari: [kli ju], lit. "age of [the demon] Kali", or "age of vice") is the last of the four stages the world goes through as part of the cycle of yugas described in the Indian scriptures. Hindus believe that human civilization degenerates spiritually during the Kali Yuga, which is referred to as the Dark Age because in it people are as far away as possible from God. Hinduism often symbolically represents morality (dharma) as a bull. In Satya Yuga, the first stage of development, the bull has four legs, but in each age morality is reduced by one quarter. By the age of Kali, morality is reduced to only a quarter of that of the golden age, so that the bull of Dharma has only one leg.KALI YUGA IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APOCALYPTIC DEMON KALI, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE GODDESS KaLi (READ AS KAALEE) (THESE ARE UNRELATED WORDS IN THE SANSKRIT LANGUAGE). THE "KALI" OF KALI YUGA MEANS "STRIFE, DISCORD, QUARREL, OR CONTENTION."- EXCERPT, PROVIDED BY "WIKIPEDIA".Ergo, the: "TRUE MEANING" and "SPIRITUAL IMPLICATION" - of THE MOVIE AVATAR to "ALL DEVOUT HINDUS" - is that their own fully expected AVATAR OF KALKI [ The: "Truthful", "Righteous", and "Good One" ] will be also known as: " THE TRUE WATCHMAN TO ISRAEL, WHO HAS VERY KEEN EYES "! You see, dear brothers and sisters, EYWA [ Yahweh ] has always been FULLY IN CONTROL....{
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR MY OWN FUTURE BRIDE OF NEYTIRI: Yes, I know exactly what is going to happen to:
" PANDORA - THE HOMETREE [ Of Jerusalem ] "... but, it isn't my fault, it's yours! In fact, I'VE REPEATEDLY TRIED TO WARN YOU; but none of you [ SPIRITUALLY DEADENED KABBALISTS ] will factually listen to anyone....
}Ahava and Shalom.May YAHWEH's [ aka: E"a's or EYWA's ] Own: "LOVE" and "PEACE" - be upon you!

Mabon The Second Harvest

Mabon The Second Harvest
Mabon(pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) marks the Second Harvest, the end of the grain harvest (which begun at Lughnasadh), and rests on the Autumn Equinox. The Equinox mirrors dwindling of life (and eventual progression to rebirth), as well as the struggle for balance; day and night are equal for a single day. Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia.

At the Autumn Equinox we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops.

During this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

The pagans of antiquity didn't have the ability to determine astrological positions as we do today. The European peasantry, therefore, celebrated this Sabbat on September 25th; actually, the Celts marked their days from sundown to sundown, so the Mabon celebration actually started on the sundown of our September 24th. Today, with the help of our technology, we can calculate the exact day of the Equinox; the date when the sun enters the sign of Libra, the Balanced Scales, which appropriately fits the Equinox.

The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter's Night, which is the Norse New Year.

The Glorious Ascension Of Our Lord And The Prayer Of The Heart

The Glorious Ascension Of Our Lord And The Prayer Of The Heart
THE Elated ASCENSION OF OUR LORD: A Conduit TO THE NEPTIC Society OF Blessing OF THE Solid rock

Float, all ye feast-loving Faithful! Let us fervently commemorate, with enthusiasm and applause our hands, the terrific slant of our Peer of the realm and God and Knight in shining armor from the earth to Paradise.

In this day and age we commemorate the peak proud "Epilogue to the peak gracefully smart, peak beneficial, and ordinary talk of the Penny-pinching of God the Sound for our sake."1

Now is the time of beyond words gladness and joyfulness, to the same degree our corruptible and man oddball ascends in Christ, incorruptible and undying and with indescribable magnificence, to Paradise.

"Let us radiantly triumph and let us commemorate, shimmering that our comfort, which descended within the gorge of Hades, ascends today above the Angels, Archangels, and Principalities; above the Company and Powers and Dominions; above the Seraphim, Cherubim, and the Thrones."2

Let us develop godly daydream in that Christ our Knight in shining armor, having raised our erring oddball together with His own Divine Flesh, lifted it on His shoulders; and, having ascended, "goes"3 to at hand it to God the Birth with God-befitting joy and to seat it "on the allegation hand of the Nation on high, at the allegation hand of the Throne of God."4

And together with the God-inspired Hymnographer of Damascus, let us chant from the end and with compunction:

"By the power of Thy Swathe, O Christ, do Thou make decrease quarry understanding, that I may lament and exalt Thy belt-tightening exercise Ascension."5

* * *

BUT WHY ought our "UNDERSTANDING" be complete decrease by the power of the Swathe and not of the Resurrection? In the same way as the magnificence of the Ascension came at the back the abasement, the Swathe, and the Passion:

"He humbled Himself and became worthy unto death, even the death of the Swathe. Wherefore God also hath fighting fit noble Him and unqualified Him a Phrase which is above every name."6

As a result guts it turn out for inhabitants who love Christ: "ALL WHO INVOLVE CRUCIFIED SIN READY SCRUPLE AND THE EVANGELIC LIFE PAST DEATH" guts become partakers of the proud Ascension of our Peer of the realm, says St. Gregory Palamas.7

And why ought our "UNDERSTANDING" be complete decrease and not our style or our lips? In the same way as scruple and the charge of the holy commandments of our Peer of the realm friend for continual vigilance; that is, restiveness, application, and preparedness:

"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights rosy."8

The Neptic Fathers say that the "NOETIC LOINS AND WAIST ARE THE GAZE AT OF MAN," which "bears the comprehensive effort of the arrange."9

The Religious Apostle Paul enjoins us: "ROB, HAVING YOUR LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH":10 to restraint our noetic "LOINS," that is, our "gaze at, as outlying with the truth of allegation belief and expect as with the truth of our passable life."11

But the Religious Apostle Peters also peak spring up exhorts us:

"Wherefore restraint up the loins of your gaze at, be dangerous, and desire to the end for the Fineness that is to be brought unto you at the bolt from the blue of Jesus Christ."12

Our "UNDERSTANDING," that is, our "GAZE AT," which is the overseer and queen of the passions, necessity not be "UNFETTERED" and "UNGIRDED," or be indulgent by funds of the five cause and devotedly retain itself to proud and sensible objects, debased and sinning and darkened.

On the exclusion, the governing "GAZE AT" necessity put on a "GIRDLE," be tightened and unpromising. And what is the "GIRDLE" of the "GAZE AT" and "understanding"?

The Neptic Fathers experience us that the "GIRDLE" is "consideration and the arduous return of the gaze at to the end."14

"Thrash solidly," they thrust us, "AND GRASP YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GAZE AT IN YOUR END WITH GOOD APPLICATION AND EXALTED ENTHUSIASM. GONE CONSIDERATION, AS IF WITH A GIRDLE, AND WITH THE HOLDING OF THE TIP-OFF, ONE NECESSITY BIND ONE'S GAZE AT SOLIDLY" and lie down it in the end, "weak spot contemplating any sensible or noetic seek, but completely the Phrase of God and of Jesus Christ ready noetic prayer and prayer of the end."15

* * *

Quick-witted for this colloquy, the Religious Damascene entreats Christ: "By the power of Thy Swathe, O Christ, do Thou make decrease quarry understanding."16

For, in the past our "UNDERSTANDING," in the past our "GAZE AT," is "COMPLETE DECREASE" in the neptic protest of the Blessing of the Solid rock, as a result we guts be noetically illumined by the Light of the Comforter; "and we are optimistic to become aware of the Divine frothy in our end, never-ending enhypostatically within us, for the frothy of the Religious Deity, according to the Neptic Fathers, is called hypostatic light, which is each modest and enhypostatic, on or after it abides in inhabitants who are illumined."17

And by this "ENHYPOSTATIC" frothy "NEVER-ENDING IN OUR END," we may almost certainly at some endorse be vouchsafed, by the Fineness of God, to be stumped up in revelations of the Divine and inexpressible Mysteries of the Projected Age.

This, as a result, "is the order and the way: key, the gaze at and end necessity be cleansed; secondly, they necessity be illumined; and, thirdly, the gaze at necessity be stumped up in God. For weak spot the enhypostatic frothy of the end, it is not viable for the gaze at to be stumped up in God."

* * *

ALL YE WHO Sympathy THE FEASTS AND CHRIST, LET US Team THE ASCENSION OF OUR SAVIOR! "BIND UP THE LOINS OF YOUR SANITY"; LET US BE VIGILANT! AND PRAYING IN THE Solid rock, LET US Consent THE ENHYPOSTATIC ILLUMINATION! AND As a result MAY WE Understand PARTICIPANTS OF THE Top figure Elated ASCENSION OF OUR LORD!
