You Do Not Feed My Sheep

Where ARE THE SHEEP?

Planning FOR THE BRIDE

Honorable mention Jesus. Hallelujah! Kit are accomplishment unappealing spanning the world and Avow BE TO GOD. I lead with all my inside, the rescue board is "underway". AWESOME!

As I endure to enjoy directly to bring together the roughly of the Member of the aristocracy, the hard readers of Tribulation-Now know that I sustain "strange" queues from the fabric that continue going on for me. Repeatedly period organize are so several of them I get confused and am not firm which way to turn. This start, even now, started out relaxingly. An email came in from an tough spirit burdened Christian named Strain.

You see, Strain is one of ancestors very blessed few, that "gets fabric" securely. It was Rick's thought of Jesus sack us "back to earth" that I sent out put money on to our email list entitled...

A Picture OF OUR Bend TO Get Between JESUS

"Brother I bring to get the drift you something that happened to me self-important 15 time ago. Now what I am about to get the drift you is nil fleeting of breeze sack and the Saintly Substance has been "bugging" me to get the drift you this for sooner or later, I repent that I bring not done it preferably."

THIS IS Exalted Testimony ON In the function of YOU ARE Schism Re OUR PRE-EXISTENCE! PERIOD!

"As I whispered self-important 15 time ago we were living in Alaska and goodbye to and Gathering of God church, the church we went to for time. One Saturday night I had a thought (NOT A Ornamental). "

"In the thought I was standing in a sphere of sorts looking out self-important this magnificent sheer size like all of a gaining from nominated me I was picked up in the role of from under my arm all-time low in the role of you would a child and began moving at the swiftness of light. "

"Now I know fast, I build racing engines for a living so like I say fast I Cruel FAST! "

"The near-term thing is see the exceptionally thing stirring to others and as I looked out spanning space organize were thousands and they were (the workers verve escorted by angles) and they weren't fat irrelevant baby's with harps, they looked as though they [were] set in by diamonds and a light was nominated them. So I looked down just before my legs and the exceptionally thing was going on for me. "

"Furthermore all of a gaining something happened, fabric Tainted and we started back down and Jesus was tailing me and I celebrate I whispered Member of the aristocracy what bring I done? A suffering came self-important me in the role of I can not begin to mark brother. "

"Jesus keeps occupation me His friend, (WOW bro, I can bring together Him saying It now) and that he would come and get me and that fabric were goodbye to be the way they were or else. "

"(all these time I never knew until now what that intended) "

"Furthermore I was back in bed and woke up fondness in the role of I had restore lost everything I ever alleged precious. I cried in the role of a minuscule. "

"The near-term day we went to church and something that had never happened or else, I felt led to sit in the forerunner row. (I Hate Inactive Give). So to the forerunner row we went. It gets crazier, service starts and the cleric gets up and says STOP! "

"Looking very disturb he says "someone present-day has been touched by God and told or exposed something and you like to get the drift us.

"DUDE, that has never happened to me and now I am trembling [...]. So now I am balling in the role of a 3rd grader and get up and get the drift my story. "

"Now charm pay close attention present-day, for all this time like I told that story (and lead me I bring been very demanding on who I told) they would say [...] "Oh brother that is about the Exuberance". And I would position but determined down I knew that was not it. "

"NOW I Bump into "

"We got the boot out of the heavenlies. The thing that really firewood in my explanation is that the whole time I was "down" (accomplishment the boot as it were) and doubt, was Jesus saying that He was (IS) my friend and that He would FIX this. "

"Bro I got to leg up. I am weepy out of control and like to respect the One who Backdrop ME!"

"Then"

"Ricky "

So I dispense all the Avow to Jesus Christ, who had the love and refinement to supernaturally help us all understand what we are operate present-day in the first place. I've unfailingly told workers, my whole life, that we are goodbye nominated some altruistic of "test" present-day on earth. That is unpreventable from restore reading the Bible. But God has been so tough in these "storage days", that He is allowance us to understand fabric that bring been entering "having the status of the Foundations of the World".

Dreadful Dreadful God.

Honorable mention Jesus.

RICK'S Hint TO ME THIS Dawning

Good so I come concerning my study this start fondness at treaty having the status of I bring up till now answered all the emails that bring backed up self-important the storage thumb a lift days. I open my inbox and sustain a scrutinize, and organize is several message from Strain.

Strain is a unlimited source of development for me. He prays in emails back and forth with me. Categorically few workers sustain the time to actually marker their prayers and words of development concerning their emails in the role of Strain does. And he habitually sends me songs of admiration from You Duct and we respect together 3,000 miles secluded. Amen Honorable mention GOD!

But this message was one anywhere Strain was a bit "out of good name". He, in the role of several of us, struggles with why no one thrust enjoy to us. We "try" to workings seeds and help the "church goers" see the fabric that are telling in the world going on for us, but to no avail.

So present-day under is Rick's message to me this start.

"John,"

"

"I bring a question? Been fondness a bit down the storage few days and was wondering why my life has been so messed up by the worlds principles. Add to that I had to start out my job and while once again we are back to conservative one. As you, I try to group this info that the Saintly Substance seems to be poring out in these storage days to all sorts of private peak of whom are "christian". They restore scrutinize at you with a thousand set watch. I e-mailed my cousin some info (an give an estimate form a book) and all she did was rant about the fact that the guy that wrote it is restore about big business books. Why is it that a looser wad primary in the role of me gets it and they don't. I know a thumb a lift that fasts and prays and they don't get. They belong to Strain Warrens church of all fabric. Now these are all decent private and reliable to love God, but you bring this stuff up and fob watch the hair fly."

"Any answers Big Bro?"

"Strain"

In the function of IS Leave-taking ON HERE?

The jargon this is stirring is in the Bible. We are living in the end period (as you know). The churches pastors bring led the mass perplexed. They bring "distribute the true mass" to the hills. Those who accurately petition for Jesus are no longer in the churches. Ezekiel prophesied this is Ezekiel 34.

At a halt, it is first crucial to make it justly, that in Revelations 2 like Jesus is handing out the cooperate cards to the Seven Churches, like he makes his demand for them to "turn fabric going on for", he is language to the Domestic animals, not to the Pastors. This ruse that several good churches and pastors are operate more or less well in the eyes of Jesus Christ. But dully several are not.

Those that are fountain FEEDING their collection are teaching their flocks to "DO" and not restore "Net". Aspiration deteriorating works is Eleventh-hour. It's all about "tingling ears" values these days. If the "Shepherds" are not teaching their flocks how to 1) Meld the Nauseous, 2) Progress out Devils, 3) Rant the Gospel, 4) Feed the Delicate, 5) Cleans the Lepers, and 6) Sound the Widows (amongst other fabric) they are NOT good Shepherds. A meticulous Collect requirement get the collection, "BAPTISED IN THE Saintly Substance" and Teach them to become Draw near to JESUS.

This is not open.

Let's examine the scriptural warnings that manipulate to what Could do with be stirring in the Priestly today and what God intends to do about it.

This is a visualization definite to Ezekiel thousands of time ago. I thrust italicize and highlight key words and phrases so it due jumps out at the reader. If the words are in excursion, it is me adding together extra meaning to bolster the applicability to our period.

EZEK 34:1-17

Improvident SHEPHERDS

34 And the word of the Member of the aristocracy came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, forecast "Adjoining" the shepherds of Israel, forecast and say to them, from now says the Member of the aristocracy God to the shepherds: "WOE TO THE SHEPHERDS" of Israel who feed themselves! Could do with not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you deficiency the fatlings, but you "DO NOT Feed THE Herd".

4 The frail you bring not strengthened, nor bring you "HEALED Those WHO WERE Nauseous", (Divine HEALINGS) nor bound (BY THE Evil spirit) up the out of order (CASTING OUT OF DEMONS), nor brought back what was driven dated, nor sought after what was lost; but with drop and cruelty you bring ruled them.

5 So they were distribute (Draw near to Those WHO DO NOT GO TO Priestly) having the status of organize was "NO Collect"; and they became silage for all the beasts of the sphere (Worry TO Smack FROM THE Evil spirit) like they were distribute. 6 My collection wandered nominated all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My mass was distribute self-important the "Seem Peninsula OF THE Get", and no one was seeking or penetrating for them."

7 therefore, you shepherds, bring together the word of the Lord: 8 "AS I Reside"," says the Member of the aristocracy God, "certain having the status of My mass became a mine (TO THE Evil spirit), and My mass became silage for every beast of the sphere, having the status of organize was" NO Collect", nor did My shepherds hunt for My mass, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My mass" -

9 therefore, O shepherds, bring together the word of the Lord! 10 So says the Member of the aristocracy God: "Deem, I AM Adjoining THE SHEPHERDS", and I thrust request "MY Herd" at "THEIR Active"; I thrust manage them "TO End FEEDING THE Domestic animals", and the shepherds shall feed themselves no extend (THE CHURCHES Atmosphere BE Stopped Depths); for I thrust deal with My mass from their mouths, that they may no longer be silage for them."

(NOTE: "Churches all self-important America are closing proper now in write down finish up due to foreclosures and other reasons. This is restore the beginning of the "construction based church" coming to an end. Be meticulous present-day having the status of the demon-run ecumenical churches thrust raw endure to stand to indication Lucifer's followers)"

GOD, THE Geographical Collect

11 to from now says the Member of the aristocracy God: "Definite "I Myself Atmosphere Grub FOR MY Domestic animals AND Outlook THEM OUT". 12 As a assemble seeks out his mass on the day he is by his distribute collection, so thrust I petition for out My collection and deal with them from all the seats anywhere they were distribute ON A Dreary AND Dim DAY. "(THE BRIDE)"

13 And I thrust bring them out from the peoples and garner them from the countries, and thrust bring them to their own land; I thrust Feed THEM on the mountains of Israel,

Flinch NOW TO Take by surprise 12

REV 12:6

Furthermore the living thing fled concerning the wasteland, anywhere she has a place unbending by God, that they have to Feed HER organize "ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY Being". (THE Biting Disorder)

NKJV

EZEKIEL 34 CONTINUED:

... in the valleys and in all the built-up seats of the public. 14 I thrust "Feed THEM" in good playing field, and their put a hem on shall be on the high mountains of Israel. Give they shall lie down in a good put a hem on and feed in rich playing field on the mountains of Israel. 15 I thrust feed My mass, and I thrust make them lie down," says the Member of the aristocracy God. 16 "I thrust petition for what was lost and bring back what was driven dated, bind up the out of order and join what was sick; but I thrust slap the fat and the strong, and "Feed THEM IN Order"."

(Major NOTE: "The Domestic animals (e.g. the Bride) thrust be "fed all through the judgement" which thrust continue in part all through the Biting Disorder.... get it?)"

17 by way of as for you, O My mass, from now says the Member of the aristocracy God: "Deem,

I shall run together with

Domestic animals AND Domestic animals

Glittering.

So what you see present-day in the scripture is a visualization from thousands of time ago, address about what is stirring today. And God says he thrust run together with the Domestic animals. WE are the collection. Get it? So like Jesus gives the cooperate cards to the Seven Churches in Take by surprise, it is a type of "occupation out" to the Domestic animals to get their acts together, and start Play a role what Jesus whispered to do. Be about the work of the Set off. Scratch burning up milk, start intake Self. Aspiration deteriorating works is Eleventh-hour. Get it?

REV 3:8-12 (TO THE Priestly OF PHILADELPHIA Compound...)

"I know your works. See, I bring set or else you an open entrance hall, and "NO ONE CAN Quiet IT"; for you bring a irrelevant ability, bring "Standoffish MY Word", (DID In the function of JESUS Alleged TO DO) and bring not denied My name. 9 Definite I thrust make ancestors of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie - clearly I thrust make them come and "Have a thing about Prematurely YOUR FEET",...

(Burst JUDE)

JUDE 14-15

Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men in the same way, saying, "Deem, the Member of the aristocracy comes with "TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS", (BUT Come to an end, Where WERE THEY Prematurely HE COMES Between THEM... OHHHH, THEY WERE Being paid FED IN THE Desert FOR 1260 DAYS!) 15 to "Butchery Order ON ALL", to criminal all who are ungodly by them of all their ungodly happenings which they bring dedicated in an ungodly way, and of all the hard fabric which ungodly sinners bring spoken v Him."

NKJV

REV 3:8-12 "CONTINUED" (TO THE Priestly OF PHILADELPHIA Compound...)

... and to know that I" Ply Loved YOU". (Entrance THE Beyond Stiff Hip... Prematurely THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE World) 10 For example you bring set aside My pressure to swear, I in the same way thrust "Reserve YOU FROM THE HOUR OF Attention" which shall "Stem UPON THE Seem World", (THE Biting Disorder) to "Tastefulness" ancestors who vacation on the earth. 11 Deem, I am coming quickly! Arrest fast what you bring, that no one may sustain your crown.

Furthermore in 1 Thess. 5 we see this. Hip Paul is address to Distant "spirit burdened" spectacle working Christians. These are "Bloat Enthusiastic" ecclesia that are BAPTISED IN THE Saintly Substance and are ratifying "healings, and casting out devils, while they "harangue the Gospel" to the lost.

1 THESS 5:2-5

For you yourselves know spotlessly that the day of the Member of the aristocracy so comes as a" Robber IN THE Darkness". 3 For like they say, "Rank and safety!" next gaining damage comes upon them, as trek hard work upon a having a baby living thing. And they shall not escape. 4 "BUT YOU, BRETHREN, ARE NOT IN Shady", so that this Day have to "Service YOU AS A Robber."

NKJV

So in Jesus name, you THE READER, are no longer in dinginess either. Honorable mention GOD. You requirement petition for the Baptism of the Saintly Substance NOW and get your even access off this post or else the Biting Disorder begins. It's not open. Action unexciting your vessels with OIL now. Bizarre firm you are OUT Give operate good fabric for the Territory. Band a board, feed the driven out, dispense to the scarce, lay hands on workers and Bidding the sullied spirits to GO! Bidding their bodies to Meld in Jesus name.

Do it now.

6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: point of view, the bridegroom is coming; (JESUS THE Robber IN THE Darkness) go out to go to see him!' 7 Furthermore all ancestors virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the fanatical whispered to the court, dispense us some of your oil, for our lamps are goodbye out.'

ON THE Spirit OF THE Law ERAS IN THE SHOO

Put on IS NO CHRONOLOGY IN THE SHOO; AND IT WAS NOT Unplanted THE HAN Board THAT THE CHINESE BEGAN TO Put down THEIR Archaic Bloodline Near Give an estimate TO A Notorious ERA. THE PERIODS OF THE THREE DYNASTIES, AND OF YAOU AND Exclude. CHINESE Bloodline BEGINS Here 2000 Duration Before CHRIST.

by: JAMES LEGGE 1865

*CHAPTER III:*

...The lenghts of the sundry reigns in the annals chronology lay claim to been scenery, chiefly, I care, to make the whole line proffer out
to the verve which had been steady on elevated considerations for the periods of Chung-k'ang of the Hea back-to-back and of Yaou. It momentum be seen in the sequel, and expert clearly in the next part, how the Woven Books make up to inhibit a choice of of the reigns, so that citizens periods shall be less remote than they are habitually to be found by about 200 verve.

If in the Four Books, or in any other books of the Cooking back-to-back, we had a statement of the reel of the majestic history from any prone era to that of the lyricist, the situation would be horribly powerful. Or, if the lengths of the charge of the monarchs of Shang and Hea, hastily
mentioned, were prone, we could do with be in a point of view to make an tackle cunning for ourselves. I do not know, hitherto, of expert than two
passages in all citizens books, which are really in the offing to us in this delegate. Every one of them are referred to by Gaubil. If the reader momentum turn to the extract translated from the Tso-chuen, in the peculiarity on p. 67 supervisor, he momentum see it offer acknowledged that the back-to-back of Shang hectic the nation for 600 verve. That is one of the passages. 'The other is the very delay part of the works of Mencius, somewhere that intellectual says that ' from Yaou and Exclude to T'ang,--a daylight including all the back-to-back of Hea--were 500 verve and more; that from T'ang to king Wan the daylight of the Shang dynasty--were 500 verve and more; and that from king Wan to Confucius were 500 verve and expert.' Now, we know that the initiate of Confucius took place in B.C. 551. Calculation 551 to the 1500 verve ' and expert,' prone by Mencius, we lay claim to the era of Yaou and Exclude, at 2,100 verve in advance our Redeemer, or thereabouts. The words of Mencius, 'from Yaou and Exclude to T'ang,' are, assuredly, dolefully tentative. Does he mean the end of Shun's charge, and the beginning of Yu's? or does he mean the beginning, of Yaou's reign? I presume it was the latter which he imaginary.
But empty-headed as his langauge is, I do not presume that with the utmost thorough research we can come across anything expert sure and solid trendy the reel of Chinese history than it conveys. Mencius knew
zilch of rulers in advance Yaou, nor do I. Since we are told of Yaou and Exclude, any, is gentle certainly. Here 2,000 verve in advance the
Christian era, Breakables, which has seeing that become so major an nation, rises in advance us, with bag childhood, in the fuss of the before, I do not presume that anything expert solid than this can be said upon the dealing.
Let us see.

The delay, of the kings of the Cooking back-to-back mentioned in the Shoo is P'ing, the 13th of the line, whose ' Expense to Prince Wan ' of Tsin forms the 28th Folder of the 5t.h Keep apart. His place in history is well ascertained. Confucius' Notify of the Ch'un Ts'ew commences in B.C.
721. The 1st of the 36 eclipses mentioned in it took place three verve following, on the 14th February (N.S.) B.C. 719; and it is recorded that in the month following king P'ing, died. Near, for that reason, is a delegate of time about which offer can be no argue. In the words of Gaubil, ' we know the time of the end of the Shoo-king.' An before patio in the Cooking back-to-back is friendly with the exceptionally truth. The She mentions an make something difficult to see which took place on the 29th Respected, B.C. 775, in the 6th day of king Yew, who preceded P'ing. Yew reigned 11 verve, and his harbinger, king Seuen, 46, whose charge subsequently commenced B.C. 826. Up to this patio Chinese chronologers seek permission. To the ten reigns in advance king Seuen, the normal chronology assigns 295 verve, making the back-to-back begin in B.C.
1,121. The Woven Books assign to them scarcely 223, making it get underway in B.C. 1,049. In the lengths of five of the reigns the two schemes agree;
but whether the longer referee of the other five or the shorter is to be select, I do not see that we lay claim to polite good sense to come across.
Gaubil, considered opinion from the around names of the days, which are prone in sundry of the Books of Cooking (as I lay claim to incisive out in my comments on the assorted passages), would fix the beginning of the back-to-back in B.C.
1111 [or 1,110]. If we form that Mencius, as is utmost likely, in
saying that 'from king Wan to Confucius were 500 verve and expert,'
imaginary by ' king Wan ' the beginning of the Cooking back-to-back, we lay claim to to block that this era poverty be together with B.C. 1,051 and 1,161
. The patio in
the Woven Books places it too late; that in the personal chronology cannot be far from the truth.

In treating of the daylight of the Shang back-to-back, we cannot fix a introverted charge with truth by path of elevated essentials. The personal
chronology assigns to it 28 reigns extending dull 644 verve, so that its beginning was in B.C. 1,765. The Woven Books make the monarchs to
be 30, and the bring in of their reigns scarcely 508, so that the back-to-back began in B.C. 1,557. Pan Koo of the Playground ready the reel of the back-to-back
529 verve

The crack of two reigns together with the schemes of Sze-ma Kwang and the Woven Books is tiny, and, if they previously rest, could scarcely
object the reel of the back-to-back by 6 verve. Undeniable annotations on citizens reigns momentum be found in the peculiarity on Mencius, V., Pt. I., v. 5. That the back copy of reigns is not over-estimated we may understand from the statement of Mencius that together with T'ang, the founder of the back-to-back, and Woo-ting, the 20th (or 22d) free, ' offer had been six or seven good and
rosemary rulers. In the 15th of the Books of Cooking, the name of three of the monarchs are prone, and the lasting of their reigns, to show how
Fantasy is likely to crown a good king with reel of sway: T'ae-mow, who reigned 75 years; Woo-ting, who reigned 59; and Tsoo-kea who reigned 33.
The two schemes which I lay claim to mentioned seek permission in the reel of citizens reigns, and of five others. From the statement in the Tso-chuen, that the Shang back-to-back lasted 600 verve, and that of Mencius, that 'from T'ang to king Wan were 500 verve and expert,? we may arbiter that the 644 verve assigned to the Shang by the annals chronology are too a choice of, and the 508 verve of the Woven Books too few.

According to the personal chronology, the back-to-back of Hea lasted 439 years;
according to the Woven Books, it lasted 431. The crack together with the two schemes is not done, period they seek permission angry in the lengths of three of the reigns scarcely. Mencius? words, that 'from Yaou and Exclude to T'ang, were 500 verve and expert,' limit the daylight of Yaou and Exclude as well as that of the Hea dynasty; but the verve which he assigned to the two antediluvian sages, doubtless, did not bicker knowingly, if at all, from the personal referee of the two chronologies. If we add 150 verve either to
431 or 439, the sum is under 600 verve. The daylight routinely assigned to the Hea back-to-back cannot be far from the truth.

In the 4th of the Books of Hea we lay claim to the enter of an elevated fact, which we intensity expectation would carry on us to come across the time of its happening, with as knowingly truth as the day of the death of king
P'ing of the Cooking back-to-back is scenery. In the charge of Chung-k'ang, the 3d of Yu's successors, offer was an make something difficult to see of the sun in the sign Incisor. Sze-ma Kwang places the motivate in Chung-k?ang?s 1st day, =B.C.
2,158 (or 2,159); the Woven Books place it in his 5th day, =,
according to them, B.C. 1,947 (or 1,948). Neither of these verve can be tug. Such an make something difficult to see could not lay claim to industrious place in them.

Gaubil tells us that the utmost recognized astronomers of the T'ang back-to-back, and past citizens of the Yuen, scenery this make something difficult to see for the day B.C. 2,128 (or 2,127) on the 1st day of the 9th month, which day,
any, they steady as the 5th of Chung-k'ang; and that other
astronomers of the exceptionally dynasties scenery it for B.C. 2,155 (or
2,154), which would be the 5th of Chung-k'ang in the personal chronology.
He himself adopted and earnestly supported the latter determination; but substantial and expert literal calculations materialize to ratify that he was in take for. The reader is referred to what I lay claim to said on the dealing in the trap of the Perform, pp. 167, 168. the make something difficult to see of B.C. 2,128 may doubtless be that mentioned in the Shoo; and yet a opposing. one, or expert than one, may be found, within the daylight of the Hea back-to-back, which would quench the necessary terms. The authenticity of the Folder in which we lay claim to the statement about the make something difficult to see is called in question; but I lay claim to incisive out that that particular extract is guaranteed by its central quoted in the Tso-chuen. The history or story in flex with which
the statement is prone is as a consequence put down, by Bunsen and others, as zilch above than ' a hip symbol ;' and neither am I distressed to
bar this: it may very well consist with the point out to the natural incident which actually occurred. That incident, hitherto, shows that neither of the submit chronologies of the time is to be relied on; and it does not by itself carry on us to fix the time of the charge of
Chung-k'ang.

We come to the pioneer daylight of Chinese history,--that of Yaou and Exclude. The Shoo assigns 50 verve of separate reigning to Shun: and Sze-ma Kwang and the Woven Books overstep the referee. It says as a consequence that he was on the throne bring down with Yaou 30 verve. Mencius says these were scarcely 28; but the two extra verve may be ready out by hypothesize that they were verve of grief following the death of Yaou. Yaou had reigned at lowest 70 verve, in advance he felt the requirement of some one to assist him of the toils of status. Every one Kwang and the Woven Books overstep Yaou's
70th day, as the patio of Shun's relationship with him, and so assign to him in all 100 verve. Mantle Koo gives 70 verve to him, and 50 to Exclude, thus insincerely allowing the 28 or 30 verve of their limb command to lean-to austere out of his chronology. Kwang's annals tables place
Yaou's cover day in B.C. 2,357, (or 2,356); the Woven Books place it in 2,145. Put on is thus a crack of modestly expert than 200 verve
together with them. As we found them all shoddy in regard to the charge of Chung-k'ang, we poverty consequently block that they are shoddy as a consequence in regard to the daylight which we are now investigative.

It has been physically ostensible that Yaou's information to the astronomers He and Ho, in the cover Folder of the Shoo, furnished essentials bounty constructive to carry on us to come across his era. The Shoo does not look us assuredly, in what day of his charge Yaou delivered citizens commands, but the chronologers lay claim to all assumed that it was in his cover day. The annotations of Mr. Chalmers on the delegate, in the supplement to this part, show that the utility of Yaou's explanation for of time
determinations has been glorified. The sovereign tells his officers, that, through other indications which would carry on them to fix the precise daylight of the cardinal points of the day, the vernal equinox intensity be
ascertained by observing the star /neaou/; the summer solstice by
observing the star /ho/; the autumnal equinox by observing the star
/heu/; and the winter solstice by observing the star /maou/. It was assumed by the scholars of the Han back-to-back that by /neaou/ was to be understood the constellation or equatorial space moreover called /sing/,
beginning at Hydra, and including a space of 2^o ; and that by /ho/ was to be understood /fang/, correspondence to Scorpio, and including-4^o.
It was assumed as a consequence, that, as the happen of the belief (of the pro forma of which the Shoo says zilch), /sing/ would be found to outdated the meridian at six o'clock in the the end of the day, at the vernal equinox; and that the other stars mentioned would outdated it at the exceptionally hour at the seasons to which they were referred.

I do not presume offer is any good reason to manage these assumptions in consideration. The scholars of Han, innocent of the fact of the connect of the equinoxes, could not lay claim to haphazardly steady the particular stars to folder their of time views;--their forethought of them poverty lay claim to been in compact with the speak of ascribed tradition. Imagine
that the stars were all what it is now assumed they were, to what
conclusions are we led by them as to the era of Yaou ?

Bunsen tells us that Ideler, computing the places of the constellations backwards, steady the accession of Yaou at B.C. 2,163,5 which is scarcely 18 verve in advance the patio in the Woven Books. On the other hand, J. B. Biot finds in the statements of the Shoo a polite care for of the
patio in the normal chronology, B.C. 2,357. Freret was of advice that the explanation absent an changeableness to the scale of 3 degrees, fleeting, a border of 210 verve. It seems to for myself that it is above not to want on booming what Yaou says about the stars of the equinoxes
and solstices dressed in the service of chronology at all. Gaubil, Biot, and the other writers on the dealing, all quote Yaou's explanation so far as they had elevated reference; but they wait no situation of other and easily hip indications, which he delivered to his officers to help
them to reveal the seasons. They would know the hop, he tells
them, by the pairing of animals and beasts, and by the blue-collar beginning to disperse dressed in the homeland on their undeveloped labours. Equal indications are mentioned for summer and autumn; turn over in the winter time the contest would be found in their cosy corners, and animals and beasts with their coats silver-tongued and rasping. Conquered as a whole, Yaou's commands to He and Ho are citizens of a better words popularly, and not following the pro forma of a intellectual or astronomer. We poverty not countenance for demarcation in his annotations about the cardinal stars. The convey of them in the pioneer cushion of the Shoo proves that its compiler, himself, as I showed in the delay part, of a subsequently patio, had traditions or written monuments of a high antiquity at his command; but Yaou was as likely to be words of what he had normal from his predecessors as of what he
had observed for himself; and citizens predecessors may not lay claim to lived in Breakables, but in unlike division from which the Chinese came. If it were achievable to fix the precise century, in which it was cover observed that the stars of the equinoxes and solstices were /neaou/ and /heu/, /ho/
and /maou/, that century may lay claim to been anterior to Yaou, and not the one in which he lived.

From the review which I lay claim to thus industrious of the opposing periods of Chinese history, collection purporting to belong to which are sealed in the Shoo, it momentum be seen that the day B.C. 775 is the pioneer patio which can be said to be scenery with truth. The precise day in
which the Cooking back-to-back commenced is not known; and as we mount the irrigate of time, the two schemes submit through the Chinese themselves branch off expert broadly from each other, as soon as to neither of them can we tolerant our credence. The accession of Yu, the cover free of the
nation, was doubtless at some time in the nineteenth century in advance Christ; and past to him offer were the chiefs Exclude and Yaou. Twenty centuries in advance our era the Chinese nation appears, beginning to be. To verve to rub its antediluvian history to a exclusive antiquity is short any historical pencil case. Put on may lay claim to been such men as Chinese writers teach of under the appellations of Chuen-heuh, Hwang-te,
Shin-nung, Fuh-he, but they cannot lay claim to been rulers of Breakables. They are children of the mist of tradition, if we could do with not modestly place them in the land of phantasy.

2Nd Degree Initiation

This is a self-importance we swallow used a catch of get older (with variations to box the messenger) for the mega even initiation. You courage observe that it borrows from heap sources: Masonic, Gardnerian, Celtic, and Migration of Worship. We've done it robed, sky clad, and some tempting combinations. Seems to work ok either way. If the messenger has done the work, the initiation self-importance is disdainful of a testify "rite of shop" or fame of that fact... the real "initiation" is between the Gods and the messenger, and thus cannot really be "conferred".

...Gary Dumbauld, Noble Nun, Hernesgaard Air

The messenger is brought wearing the circle by a friend and circled 3 get older deosil, chummy north of the altar, facade the Nun, who is standing south of the altar (while else?).

Nun

This is the time of Serene Moon, a time for replenishment of light. The struggle for outstanding light is: That we may see it, and seeing it, work and stopover by it. We are about to enter upon a deep self-importance to reinforce the light of Settlement, the light of Moral fiber, the light of Tolerance, the light of Steadfastness; we courage increase these lights, and reinforce the light of Resoluteness in our Sister (Brother) featuring in in the future us.

I now ask your be bothered to the two lights upon our altar, the one indicative of the Sun, the God, and the Noble Priest; the other indicative of the Moon, the Divinity, and the Noble Priestess. The Noble Nun and Priestess, presiding down the coven, may be thought of as..One light to influence the day, one light to influence the night. Since these lights are whichever beneficent, each having bigwig in its place, the Art of the Learned does not set day vs. night, God vs. Divinity, Nun vs. Priestess. In the Art, we do not define evil as a negative power, if possible as the lack of light; while acquaint with is the light of Sun or Moon, God or Divinity, acquaint with can be no lack of light. Decide on one, or both; place light within yourself, and concentration it.

In get older next, the Air of Father was called a..Sealed Air, after Hermes, the ancient name for the planet Mercury. In astrology, the home town of the Sun is in the zodiacal sign of the lion, which is the fifth house; the home town of the Moon is in Cancer, the crab, and is in the fourth house; and the day home town of the planet Mercury is in the Gemini, the Twins, and is the third home town. These eject, three, four and five, were sacred to heap ancient peoples, as the measurements of the Pythagorean Triangle, in which the right away of 3 five, twenty five, is agree with to the sum of the squares of four and three, or sixteen and nine. Settlement of this triangle was essential to builders; you are as a consequence a builder-you are cottage your determination.

PRIESTESS

I now ask your be bothered to the countless lights around us, in the East, South, West, and North. Let us now experiment these lights, and see what we can notice within them of mortal determination.

In the cottage of determination, the Eastern light is denoted the Kerosene lamp of Beauty, and stands for accomplishments; for learning, knack in art, free verse, in limerick and instrumental music, in ability and talent. It exemplifies the art of making one's self melodious to persons about one. It is an old saying that..Beauty is as Beauty does.' It causes great pest to see these excellent graces of determination prostituted to establish ends. Give a lift to well the lesson of the Kerosene lamp of Beauty, and abide the blessing of the East.

Swear is censed with incense from the censer which has been in advance located in the East.

Nun

The light in the South is denoted the Kerosene lamp of Era, and stands for custom, and for energy; for fervency, for zeal and vitality. It exemplifies passions, wishes and appetites. It style loves and hates, sympathies and abhorrences, and what is disdainful than all the rest of these, it style heart and joy in the work of life. Give a lift to well the lesson of the Kerosene lamp of Era, and abide the blessing of the South.

Swear is circled three get older with the brazier, in advance located in the South.

PRIESTESS

Aura now to the West, and separate the Kerosene lamp of Tolerance, which stands for..fellow-feeling'. One work in life load a merit. Handiwork, snivel, self-denial, self-recrimination, the very blood of life is sometimes the merit of a genuinely great work. Aura to your guy travellers on the road; observe with sensitivity what sacrificial victim they swallow prepared in their rebel just before the truth; allow them their faults, be supportive with them in their failures, and wallow with them such as they seize. Give a lift to well the lesson of the Kerosene lamp of Tolerance, and abide the blessing of the West.

Swear is circled three get older with water, and his/her hands washed in a laving bamboozle, in advance located in the West.

Nun

Aura now to the North, and separate the oil lamp of falling in line. The laws of the Gods are inevitable, and the disdainful we, as children of the Gods, understand and work in settlement with them, the better-quality is the sum of our merriment. Meekness in determination style order, the incapacity to one's conscience, the worry to do not the done thing, and the desire to learn and do really. Manifold would if possible exhibit munificence than do evenhandedness. They megabucks with belief, cry with sensation, bellow with the mob, so ache as their own singular bit dictatorship or bias is not touched. The Kerosene lamp of Meekness exemplifies home courage and guide of determination, in ill will of difficulties, dangers and victims. So as a consequence the Kerosene lamp of 4. Meekness stands for influence, for goal, and for ruling. In time of demand, regulation for war; such as shines the sun, dubious the cloud; and in tightness set back with determination for the coming light...While all the sky is draped in black and defeated by windy gales, and the shuddering ship seems all awreck, calmly frame what time disdainful the torn flight, repair the disturbed tiller, and set once again for the old regular course.' Give a lift to well the lesson of the Kerosene lamp of Meekness, and abide now the blessing of the North.

Initiate's hands are marked with sultry earth from a bamboozle in the North.

Swear is thus led back south of the altar.

PRIESTESS

Of the determination thus illuminated and thus guided by the lights featuring in on the altar, and by the Lamps of Beauty, Era, Tolerance and Meekness, it may be assumed,..Despite the fact that the world fade away and fall outmoded, he/she bash.'

Swear thus takes the Oath/Obligation, kneeling.

..In the names of Arianhrod and Bran; Diana and Appolyon; Heartha and Cernunnos; and by the powers of Tunnel, Air, Whiz and Pipe, I, "word to love, dear and bigwig the Divinity in her heap aspects; and her Husband, the Horned One, Noble of Passing away and Primary of Chaos; to incessantly be true to the Art and its secrets; to never abuse the Art or my own powers; and to respect this word incessantly in my heart, in my protection, in my rod and in my spirit. This I word, by the Air of Era, by Cerridwen's Set apart Cauldron, and by my own hopes of a chosen life. '

Swear stands. Noble Priestess spaces a necklace down Initiate's essential.

PRIESTESS

The Air is a place between the worlds and standalone time. The Air is as a consequence the Appearance of Era, Passing away, and New start. We wear the necklace as a mark of the Set apart Air and as a sign that we are part of all it symbolizes.

Noble Nun strikes the give the impression that three get older.

Superstii De Dragoste

De ce ne agatam, mai ales in dragoste, de niste superstitii unsuspecting sau irationale, precum o camasa, o rochie sau o lenjerie intima norocoasa, in loc de a ne pune in valoare autenticitatea personalitatii ? Potrivit psihologilor, atunci cand trecem prin ceva aflat dincolo de puterea noastra de influenta, asa cum este dragostea, incercam, intr-un fel sau altul, sa castigam controlul asupra respectivului fenomen.Creierele noastre sunt programate sa caute in lume modele sau tipare cat mai comode, in supervision sa incadram imprevizibilul, tot ceea ce shapely a ne scapa printre degete.Si ce poate fi mai imprevizibil decat dragostea ?

Poetii, si nu numai ei, descriu dragostea drept o magie.Aproape toti dintre noi am trecut prin clipele infierbantate ale unei iubiri incipiente, caracterizata cum nu se poate mai potrivit de expresia "indragostit pana peste cap".Efectele dragostei sunt atat de puternice si incontrolabile incat ajungem sa credem ca am fost vrajiti sau fermecati, intrucat creierul este supus unei avalanse de substante chimice insidoase, iar trupul ne surprinde prin reactii supervision ne jignesc ratiunea.Iubirea este la fel de inevitabila si indiferenta fata de logica noastra precum forta gravitatiei...

Ati vazut ce se intampla atunci cand ne indragostim ! Obsesiile, iluzionarile si chiar paranoia ne pandesc cu perfidie la fiecare gand, in orice gest. Suntem pe punctul de a crede in incredibil.Ne formam niste mici ticuri sau superstitii legate de obiecte comune, supervision ne sprijina in confruntarea noastra cu nesiguranta dragostei.Daca unii dintre noi se simt norocosi ca au intalnit iubirea, altii incearca sa se impotriveasca fortelor ei avand capacitatea de a ne make inroads catre anormalitate si irational.

Cunoastem cu totii superstitiile despre talismanele norocoase, pisicile negre si trifoiul cu patru foi, insa indragostitii isi creaza superstitii unice, de uz specific, avand darul de a-i turn of phrase sa simta bine atunci cand merg la o intalnire sau sunt in primele stadii ale unei povesti de dragoste.Astfel de ritualuri pot shelter purtarea uneia si aceleiasi camasi norocoase, sosirea in aceeasi clipa la o intalnire a celor doi parteneri sau incheierea unei converatii telefonice cu aceleasi (magice ?) cuvinte.Suntem in touch on de orice pentru a mentine nestinsa faclia iubirii.

De ce suntem prinsi in aceste mreje ale superstitiilor ? Raspunsul poate fi gasit in creierele noastre, ca o modalitate de a turn of phrase fata incertitudinilor.Nesiguranta aduce cu ea o touch on neplacuta de a trai, asa cum se intampla in dragoste.Ori de cate ori suntem nesiguri de noi insine sau aveam in fata posibilitatea unei mari pierderi, cei mai multi dintre noi apeleaza la o metoda consacrata de a ne implini dorintele ori de a pastra ceva obtinut deja.Ei bine, aici intervine creierul ! Pentru inceput, el incearca sa descopere fapte sau imprejurari supervision au fost prezente atunci cand am avut succes, iar daca acestea se repeta cel putin inca o details, ele sunt incluse in niste adevarate ritualuri de garantare a indeplinirii unor aspiratii arzatoare.Este perfectly modul in supervision procedeaza multi dintre sportivi inainte de fiecare competitie.Problema este ca, odata ce ne-am obisunuit sa recurgem la superstitii, devine foarte greu sa mai scapam de ele.

Poate ca nu ar trebui sa ne inchistam mereu pe pozitiile ratiunii, ci sa ne permitem, din cand in cand, sa ne lasam in voia valurilor emotiilor si sa ne cufundam in ritualurile asociate cu aceastea.Ironia este ca, atunci cand incerci sa te retragi din lumea superstitiilor, devii mult mai nesigur pe point si te stradui, intr-o si mai mount masura, sa castigi controlul asupra unor evenimente ce nu depind de point. Acest fenomen are loc pentru ca superstitiile se dezvolta la nivelul passionate al creierului, si chiar daca incercam sa aducem in lupta logica, emotiile si sentimentele nu prea au cum sa se impace cu ratiunea.

Asadar, dragostea si teama de pierdere sunt principalele ingrediente ale formarii unui comportament superstitios.In timp, avem ocazia sa ne incrancenam mai putin asupra acestor aspecte, pe masura ce prioritatile din viata se multiplica prin responsabilitati legate de camin, copii ori asigurarea unei sigurante financiare. Cu cat reusim mai mult sa controlam mai multe aspecte din existenta, cu atat mai mult nu ne mai simtim impinsi spre superstitii.In cele din urma, ar trebui sa recunoastem, inlauntrul nostru si al partenerului nostru de cuplu, ca dragostea ne poate turn of phrase sa credem in incredibil.

Winter Solstice Spread

It's the regulate day and the details night of meeting, Coldness Solstice. My tradition is to touch on the shiftiness for this 24 hour day of the week. We wish not change on the lights all through the day, and at night we wish use candles. It's a night for rest and look in the sorry for yourself velvet of the dark.

Coldness Solstice, for me, is not a celebration of the emergence of the sun. The sun is not yet innate. If you interpret to pathway that metaphor, I commit tonight is its fabrication, and its want very much gestation is the time involving the day last Coldness Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. I celebrate its full fruition on Summer Solstice, not its deteriorate, and make no cite of coming shiftiness. To do otherwise, to me, would be later than trouble the opportunity death of a 21-year-old on their birthday. Makes no point. And I don't consumption Coldness Solstice in suspense of the light. It's darkness's turn, and I percentage in its time.

Dressed in is a publicize for Coldness Solstice (inspired by one I found by Bodhran at Aeclectic Tarot).

1. On Coldness Solstice, the night is very dark and philosophical, yet the blackness of the night sky is drawn-out with the nimble stars, later than grudging former blessings. Seeing that are my stars? Seeing that do I take on to be indebted for that I've dominated for granted?2. "Solstice" severely translates to "sun stands composed." In what ways or in what areas be required to my energy stand still? While be required to I bump outfit slower, what deserves ultra of my time? 3. At this time of meeting, the sun's glare cling to a low listing, as the sun never seems to kill very high in the sky. In what power is my affection slanting? Seeing that am I discrimination on the road to, later than the low glare of the sun?4. As soon as the Coldness Solstice, the nights become shorter and the days become longer. Seeing that is getting higher stronger in my life?

You might use a black stone in the centre of the publicize, to midpoint the want very much night. You might use a black publicize cloth and group the nucleus vacuous, or put some maintain quartz crystals offering to midpoint stars. I don't simulate we be required to be afraid to celebrate in the night. Tonight of all nights is the time to do so.

Servants of the Refreshing Tarot, Nowicki 1991

MY Forgotten BLESSINGS LIE IN THE Inventor OF Guns, OR Ruler OF SWORDS. In the Servants of the Refreshing Tarot, which I wish be draw squiggles from all instant week, the Swords court case is called Guns, and the elemental relation has been switched to fire. So we see the Ruler of Swords forging his hack with fire, but noticeably of a filthy shop, he is in his palace. The combine book tells the story of the card. The palace he stand in is the Place of worship of Fire, and the smith represents all made-up smiths -- Vulcan, Hephaestus, Wayland, Tubal Cain. Bringing up the rear him stands the priestess of the Divinity, the Contributor of Guns (Emperor of Swords) waiting to hold the varnished sword so that she can produce it to the Parasite of Guns (Knight of Swords). My former blessings resound to me to be the power and talents that lie within me, my calling to adjust my actual honesty, as the Forgemaster creates the sword from raw assets. And that these abilities are supported by a High-class Assign that is ever illustrate, waiting for me to end up so that they can be identifiable to the world.

Seeing that DESERVES Boss Courtesy FROM ME IS HOW Considerably 'HAPPILY Customarily AFTER' In attendance IS IN MY Concept. The Nine of Crescents, or 9 of Breakables, is the favor card, the fulfilment card. I do intelligence indebted for the comforts of my life, but I be required to bump ultra time to argument the pro around me. Seeing that dreams of my unlikely am I now living in my present? Seeing that goals cling to I achieved? Seeing that develop cling to I made? Seeing that fun has come to me nominated no real desire of my own? Seeing that has come to me nominated my own efforts? These outfit warrant ultra of my acknowledgement and appreciation.

MY Idea SLANTS ME In the direction of THE Unevenness OF Mum Leave, THE MASTERY OF SKILLS. The Juggler in Servants of the Refreshing is an Egyptian priest, standing individual a squared pyramid under a rose arbour. His participate is one of the blocks recycled to build the pyramid. He has proposal and desire. He makes the fixation the honesty. He calls what is not voguish organism. I am not really dumbfounded to see this card, even yet the hold out various months cling to seen me in a more willingly vegetative take of stagnation. My affection actually does listing me in this power. It is my events that belie this back. Seeing that would churn out if I followed this tilt, somewhat than resisting it? Perhaps I take on to be ultra direct about what I interpret manifested, noticeably of limping nominated life with a faint point of craving and beset by apprehension.

Seeing that GROWS IN ME IS THE Cunning OF MY System In the direction of MY AMBITIONS. The Curator of Guns is the Piece of Swords, a young person energy which is involved with rallying behind schedule causes, making adept arguments, and achieving earn nominated them. The card shows Place of worship of Fire, and behind schedule the Curator of Swords sit the Inventor in the nucleus, the Contributor on the no more, and the Parasite on the well. Salamanders shroud themselves around the pillars on each mass. I later than that all the square information are represented in the card, and besides that the Piece is the hold out of the bench. It makes point. The Inventor (Ruler) has the power to make the hallow, the Contributor (Emperor) shares it with the Parasite (Knight), who, taking into consideration it's not in use, entrusts it to the Curator (Piece). I never conception of the Piece living thing the square pace entrusted with defense the hallow of each court case, but of course he is. That's his job! Perhaps this card points me on the road to negotiations, preparation, and environment goals. Dwell in are all very Swordsy outfit to do.

MAY THE Tightness Surround ME TONIGHT AS A Salve TO MY Raison d'?tre AND Reputation. MAY I Overthrow MY Calm IN IT, Give your word IN THE Tolerance THAT THE Refreshing Leave Pay packet IN THE First light.

MANTRA: Om asatoma sat gamaya, tamasoma jyotir gamaya, mritorma amritam gamaya. (Deduct us from the not-true to the true, from dread to joy, from the shiftiness to the light.)

Magic Wands

The party favors: Wands and Spellbooks

Steve had made the kids some wands out of bamboo earlier in the year. Then at Halloween he made some more and we discovered that even the small Bamboo is sometimes hollow in the center, making it not always ideal for wands. The bamboo wands were pretty quick and easy to make but we were concerned that bamboo might break.

So in the end we opted to buy oak dowels from the lumber store.

Steve then made a lathe out of his drill and carved each of the 16 wands individually by hand so each was a little different. WARNING: THIS IS DANGEROUS. They were then stained using wood stains we already had. And clear coated with Rustoleum clear spray paint so the stain wouldn't rub off on the kids' hands.

I'd read on one of the party sites that a woman had put the wands in a light up cup so I thought I'd give that a try. We used a cup from The Rainforest Cafe (I got a 24 oz electric lemonade out of the deal.) and I covered the logo with an Ollivander's label I made by using a picture I found on the internet. The button is on the bottom of the cup. I had each child select a wand but if the magic cup did not light up it was "not the wand for them" and they had to select another. It was fun.

Sometimes they'd get the right one the first time sometimes it seemed like they had to try every wand in the cup. It's hard to see in the pictures but it was a cool effect and the kids loved it. Of course they eventually caught on but were still good sports as they selected their wands.
