Lord Jesus Christ, whose will all things
obey: pardon what I have done and grant
that I, a sinner, may sin no more. Lord,
I believe that though I do not deserve
it, you can cleanse me from all my sins.
Lord, I know that man looks upon the
face, but you see the heart. Send your
spirit into my inmost being, to take
possession of my soul and body. Without
you I cannot be saved; with you to
protect me, I long for your salvation.
And now I ask you for your salvation.
And now I ask you for wisdom, deign of
your great goodness to help and defend
me. Guide my heart, almighty God, that I
may remember your presence day and night.
++ Amen ++

The solid sky, the cloudy sky, the good sky, the straight sky.
The earth produces herbs. The herbs cause us to live. They cause long
life. They cause us to be happy.
The good life, may it prevail with the air. May it increase. May it be
straight to the end.
Sweet Medicine's earth is good. Sweet Medicine's earth is completed.
Sweet Medicine's earth follows the eternal ways. Sweet
Medicine's earth is washed and flows.
Thus can the servant of God be known, if he has the spirit of the Lord: • when the Lord works through him anything good, if his flesh for that reason would not exalt itself, because it is always contrary to every good, • but if he rather would hold himself up before (his own) eyes as more vile and esteem himself less than all other men.
Buddhism. Nagarjuna, Precious Garland
"He that is wise, wins souls" (Proverbs 11.30). The rabbis said, "This refers to Noah, for in the Ark he fed and sustained the animals with much care. He gave to each animal its special food, and fed each at its proper period, some in the daytime and some at night. Thus he gave chopped straw to the camel, barley to the ass, vine tendrils to the elephant, and glass to the ostrich. So for twelve months he did not sleep by night or day, because all the time he was busy feeding the animals."
WE may say that there are three reasons for which this journey made by the soul to union with God is called night. The first has to do with the point from which the soul goes forth, for it has gradually to deprive itself of desire for all the worldly things which it possessed, by denying them to itself; the which denial and deprivation are, as it were, night to all the senses of man. The second reason has to do with the mean, or the road along which the soul must travel to this union -- that is, faith, which is likewise as dark as night to the understanding. The third has to do with the point to which it travels -- namely, God, Who, equally, is dark night to the soul in this life. These three nights must pass through the soul -- or, rather, the soul must pass through them -- in order that it may come to Divine union with God.

A Prayer From The Soul
Oh Lord take me away from this horrible place
My life has become a complete basket case
Why am I suffering all day and all night?
Unable to see my way to that beautiful light.
My world is slowly crumbling all around me
Physically, mentally and definitely emotionally
How can one survive in this world of strife
Without one wanting to take his or her own life?
Hoping, wishing and praying for help
That you can change this bad hand you were dealt
Crying each time that reality really sets in
Never knowing exactly when it will end
Oh Lord my God do what you do best
And allow me to survive, for I am blessed
With the goodness you've instilled in me
To be the best person that I can be.
Love To All Bootsie D'Acosta
I want Jesus to walk with me,
I want Jesus to walk with me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
In my trials, Lord, walk with me,
In my trials, Lord, walk with me,
When the shades of life are falling,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.

“SHAMAN” as meaning “one who knows”. Really, the shaman is a person who is an expert in keeping together the multiple codes through which this complex belief system appears, and has a comprehensive view on it in their mind with certainty of knowledge. The shaman uses (and the audience understands) multiple codes. Shamans express meanings in many ways: verbally, musically, artistically, and in dance. Meanings may be manifested in objects, such as amulets.
The shaman knows the culture of their community well, and acts accordingly. Thus, their audience knows the used symbols and meanings — that's why shamanism can be efficient: people in the audience trust it. Such belief system can appear to its members with certainty of knowledge — this explains the above described etymology for the word “shaman”.
Celtic Tree Calendar
The Celtic Tree Calendar comes from legend, lore and modern calculations. Some scholars suggest it was created by the Druids. But there is no physical evidence to that effect. If you're interested in the physical evidence of ancient calendars, you might prefer to read Lunar Calendars.
Whither from legend or modern lore, the calendar is utilized by many Celtic pagans today. It's also important to note that this calendar is not solely Celtic in nature and holds influence of the Norse in it's mythology. The Celts believed that human kind fell from the trees. But to me that sounds a good deal like concepts of Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that holds together earth, heaven, and hell by its roots and branches in Norse mythology. The initial creation, as well as the how and who created this calendar of trees is a debate for a different article and won't be answered here. You can further your own research with some of the resources listed at the bottom of this article.
So, in general, this calendar of lore goes something like this. The Celts believed that much of nature was inhabited by spirits. Especially trees and plants. Additionally they believed certain trees had a strong sense of energy surrounding them. And that these trees could have healing powers over the sick and wounded, as well as, on humans in general. The phrases we use today for “touch wood” and “knock on wood” probably originated from these early Celtic pagan beliefs. It's also an indication of how important trees and plants were to the Celts. And how certain species of plants became sacred objects.
The concepts of the Celtic Calendar are fairly simple. The year is divided equally into 13 months, one for each cycle of the moon. Each moon cycle is associated with a sacred tree, a magikal aspect and letter from the Celtic runes. The runes or the Ogham, are a secret shamanic alphabet, the origin of which is accredited to Oghma, the Celtic God of Poetry.
Designating the timing of the calendar is where it gets sticky. Beginning with each full moon, some say it's each new moon, there are an equal number of days in each month, 28 days. There's little doubt that to the early Celts, moon phases were very important and there's no clear indication as to which moon cycle is thought to be the most prominent when it's related to the calendar. Of course it makes sense that each new moon would begin each new lunar month. But some scholars suggest that the 'brightness' of the full moon would have been much more apparent to the ancients and by it's very impact of light on the Earth, it too would make sense to be the signal from Grand Mother Moon, of a new cycle or in this case, the beginning of the next month. It's also important to remember that the cycles of new moon and full moon change from month to month on the calendar system we use today. For instance in 2003 we saw a new moon before Samhain, this year we see the full moon. If Samhain is the Celtic new year, which phase is correct? Well, that's where applying the Celtic Lunar Calendar system to the Solar Calendar system we use today becomes difficult.
There is also much debate on exactly when the calendar begins, which month is first. Samhain has long been referred to as the "Celtic New Year". And many believe the calendar starts here. Others suggest it starts on the day after the God is reborn at Yule. Thus it begins on what we know as January 2nd. Some theories start the calendar on December 24th during the "Hand of Yule". The "Hand of Yule" is from December 19th to the 23rd. This theory is based on the teachings of Robert Graves, who makes the calendar system a "solar calendar" with "lunar months", thus emphasizing the balance between God and Goddess. Personally I think there's too much of a Roman and Christian influence in these particular theories. Wouldn't you start a calendar cycle and celebrate it's rebirth at the 'new year'?
It's also important to note that during the Druid age, that "extra day" we call leap year wasn't recognized. That 4 year cycle to adjust the calendar is part of the solar calendar system and came along later. Though many see this extra day as a day "out of time" and associate it as the Day of Creation. The Celts however, simply observed the moon and it's phases and adjusted their calendar time accordingly.
The following descriptions fall into that view. The calendar begins on the 1st new moon before Samhain for the Celtic New Year. It maintains the view of a lunar calendar and dismisses the Roman influences of a solar calendar system. Some additional things to keep in mind.
§ It's important to remember that the change of days begins at sunset, and not at 12 midnight as the solar calendar represents. For instance, October 28th doesn't begin at midnight, it begins at sunset on the 27th.

There are three paths leading to Truth. The first is the path of the consciousness, the second that of nature, and the third is the accumulated experience of past generations, which we receive in the shape of the great masterpieces of all ages. From time immemorial, man and humanity have followed all three paths.
The first path to Truth, the path of the consciousness, is that followed by the great mystics. They consider that the consciousness is the most immediate reality for us and is the key to the universe. it is something which is in us, which is us. And throughout the ages the mystics have made the discovery that the laws of human consciousness contain an aspect not found in the laws governing the material universe.
The second of the three paths is the path of nature. While the first path of the consciousness starts from within and penetrates thence into the totality of things, the second path takes the opposite way. Its starting point is the external world. it is the path of the scientist, and has been followed in all ages through experience and through experiment, through the use of inductive and deductive methods.
The third path to Truth, is the wisdom, knowledge and experience acquired by the great thinkers of all ages and transmitted to us in the form of great teachings, the great sacred books or scriptures, and the great masterpieces of universal literature which together form what today we would call universal culture. In brief, therefore, our approach to Truth is a threefold one: through consciousness, nature and culture.
Let No One Appropriate To Himself Superior Over Others
I did not come "to be ministered unto, but to minister" (cf. Mt 20:28), says the Lord. · Let those, who are set up over others, glory as much because of that office of superior, as if they had been appointed to the office of washing the feet of the brothers. And in as much as they are more disturbed because of having lost their office of superior than because of (having lost) the office regarding feet, so much more do they assemble purses for themselves to the danger of their souls (cf. John 12:6).

Silkk The Shocker, P. Miller Form New Travel Biz Published
Rap star Vyshonn “Silkk The Shocker” Miller and his older brother Percy Miller (formerly known as Master P.) have teamed with Gene Van Horn and World Ventures, to create a new affiliate marketing business.
World Ventures, which is a private company located in Dallas, Texas, has active representatives in all 50 states.
According to Miller, the travel industry is an untapped market that hopefuls can tap into with a minimal investment, yet earn a high return.
"Instead of spending a couple hundred dollars at the mall, you could put that money towards starting your own small business," said P. Miller. "If you just sacrifice $500 from your weekly personal expenses and invest that in yourself, you will not only be able to afford more in the future, but you will also be building generational wealth for your family."
According to Miller, he hopes his latest business endeavor with his younger brother will be a model of success for those attempting to break into the lucrative industry.
“This is not about entertainment,” Miller said of his new affiliate marketing company. “This is about exposing people to other opportunities that lead to financial freedom. If you are in the music business and you are waiting for that big record deal, you still need to eat and take care of your families now. It's time to be more responsible. What about life a
If you can turn on the computer, search, blog, chat or shop... you have what it takes to run your own successful business.

Network marketing and Investment travel is an untapped market with unlimited growth potential. It's time to wake up and grow up. Build a profitable business without overhead and employees. All you need is $500 and a computer; you can make millions. The downfall in the economy has affected all communities on a global scale.

There's no time to wait on opportunity, it's time to create it. One way people can survive and overcome this deficit is by starting your own small business and creating a cash flow because a job today in this economy is not promised tomorrow.
Network marketing has turned more people into millionaires than any other business industry in the past years. You can be successful, make millions, travel and live like a celebrity without the paparazzi following you around. If you can afford to buy Nike Air Jordan Collezion for $310 or True Religion Jeans for $250 during this financial slum, than you can invest $500 into your own business to secure your financial freedom.
