DP & Some answers
This document addresses several questions about Christian theology from the perspective of the Divine Principle. It claims that the Fall occurred through illicit sexuality, allowing sin to pass through generations. It also argues that Jesus promised a Second Coming to fulfill the remaining part of the providence and remove Original Sin through the coming of the Messiah and his bride. The document asserts that the rejection of Jesus 2000 years ago had consequences, and the prophecies of his acceptance remain unfulfilled until the Second Coming establishes the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Rethink Church - Mind the Gap
The document discusses the changing culture of the church and Christianity. It argues that the church culture has become post-attractional, post-positional, and post-universal. It asks whether these changes present obstacles or opportunities. It also discusses Jesus as a model for how the church should respond to cultural changes, noting that Jesus was sent into culture, surrendered himself to his mission, and spoke the word of God to people.
Vincent de Paul: One of the great saints of history
Vincent de Paul was not born holy but rather started as an average priest who transformed through a long process of spiritual struggles and works of charity. He had several religious experiences that shaped his vocation, including identifying with a tempted priest and taking on his spiritual suffering, which led Vincent to devote himself fully to acts of charity. Through serving the poor in hospitals, he discovered the power of charity to overcome doubt. He then founded organizations to address the physical and spiritual needs of the poor, combining preaching, charity work, and organizations like the Confraternities of Charity. These experiences defined Vincent's understanding of Christianity as remedying the poor's hunger for both food and the word of God.
ReTHINK Church - Mind the Gap
The document discusses the need to rethink the church in a post-Christian culture. It argues that churches must follow Jesus' example by being sent into the world, surrendering status, and speaking the language of the culture in order to view cultural changes as opportunities rather than obstacles. Key aspects of today's culture mentioned are being post-attractional, post-positional, and post-universal.
Discipleship, development, civilization 2
This document discusses the joy of the gospel and its importance for discipleship, development, and civilization. It warns that consumerism can lead to desolation and anguish by distracting people from others and dulling their conscience. The rapid changes happening in the world are impacting individuals, families, discipleship, and civilization. However, beliefs and values can act as lighthouses and remain steady. The document encourages Christians to have a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ daily in order to experience this joy.
The Contributions of the Vincentian Charism : 8
The document discusses the inseparable nature of mission and charity in the Vincentian charism. It states that spiritual and corporal service, as taught by St. Vincent de Paul, are not separate purposes but two aspects of the same evangelizing mission. St. Vincent saw the mission as becoming charity, entering into Christ's love by serving the most in need. The Pope and Mother Guillemin expressed that the Vincentian tradition of charity demands new creativity in imaging to meet the needs of each time.
Vincentian Spirituality
This document provides an overview of Vincentian spirituality and theology. It discusses key aspects of Vincentian spirituality including its characteristics, themes in St. John Gabriel Perboyre's spirituality, and identifiers of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac's charism. The document also covers topics like evangelization, the Church's mission, motivation for evangelization, and the new evangelization. It compares classical and new evangelization and discusses how the new evangelization is distinct. The document prompts reflection on developing strategies for new evangelization within the Vincentian Family.

Presentation2
The document discusses the Fourth Crusade from 1201-1204. It was intended to strike at Egypt but instead attacked and sacked Constantinople, the largest Christian city, after the Crusaders grew angry that the Constantinople rulers could not pay the promised rewards. This caused a major rift between the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches. A fifth crusade from 1217-1221 followed but also failed to achieve long-term success, capturing the city of Damietta in Egypt but ultimately being defeated by Muslim forces.

Three invitations of Bl. Marcantonio Durando, C.M.
Fr. Marcantonio Durando, CM invited the Vincentian Family to (1) revive the spirituality of St. Vincent de Paul through popular missions, clergy formation, raising up vocations, and collaborating with the laity; (2) be faithful to Vincentian virtues like humility, simplicity, and charity through ordinary ministry; and (3) rethink their presence through creativity during times of transition, collaborating with all people, and trusting in Divine Providence while addressing problems.
St. Louise and avoiding stumbling blocks
St. Louise de Marillac faced several personal stumbling blocks in her enthusiastic mission work, including wanting to do too much, difficulty integrating advice to act reasonably and not be overcome by discouragement. Vincent de Paul counseled her on accepting rejection from a parish priest and maintaining humility amid honors or insults. It was through welcoming God's word in the Eucharist that Louise found the energy to animate the Confraternities of Charity. She learned the importance of close union with God in prayer as the source of guidance.

The document summarizes the profile of an evangelist who was called to preach the gospel through visions and revelations in 1972. He was taught the scriptures by the Holy Spirit in his sleep and can cite hundreds of scriptures from memory at high speeds. Due to this ability, he was awarded an international excellence in Christ award. He performs miracles and healings through prayer and fasting. He appeals for financial support to actualize his dream of preaching on international television stations and gives glory to God for his gifts and calling.
Advent 2: The Speeding Ticket
The document discusses how Christians have lost their sense of wonder and awe over Jesus and his teachings. It argues that the most critical issue facing Christians today is dullness, not other hot-button social issues. It analyzes passages from the Gospel of Mark about how Jesus' own hometown rejected him because of their familiarity with him, lacking astonishment at his wisdom and works. The document calls Christians to remember their first love of Jesus, repent of losing their wonder, and redo the things they did at first to regain their sense of awe.
Some of St. Louise's writings about the Ladies of Charity
St. Louise de Marillac summarizes the work of the Ladies of Charity in visiting and caring for the sick poor at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris. She notes that through the guidance of St. Vincent de Paul, the Ladies recognized the spiritual and physical needs of the poor and provided relief charitably. Their work brought many sick persons to salvation and was an example throughout France. St. Louise argues that the good works of the Ladies in helping the sick should continue into the future.

Based on the article The religious experience of saint Vincent de Paul by José María Román, C.M.. • Third Asian Vincentian Institute (Mother House, Paris, September-December 2006).
Vincentian Spirituality
Vincent de Paul viewed poverty not as God's will, but as defacing human dignity. He saw the poor as representing Christ, and serving the poor as serving Christ. Vincent experienced how the poor brought him closer to God and evangelized him with their faith. He recognized that in serving the poor, one receives more than is given.
Early american literature
This document summarizes early American literature from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the Enlightenment period. It discusses the Puritan experiment in Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony under John Winthrop's leadership. It also mentions the expanding diversity of the colonies and cities like Philadelphia becoming centers of commerce. Puritan historians like Cotton Mather wrote to document their faith and God's influence on human events from their perspective. During the Enlightenment, philosophy and science grew with less focus on religion.
Sermon 10.16.11
The document discusses the "backward" wisdom of God through several biblical passages. It shows how God chooses the weak, foolish, and lowly things of the world to shame the wise and strong. It then provides a historical overview of how Christianity grew from a small, persecuted group to a large, powerful institution, noting that true power comes from dependence on Christ and realization of our weaknesses, not worldly power and influence.

When church & kingdom collide
The document discusses the collision between church and kingdom in South Africa during a time of crisis and conflict. It describes how the crisis exposed that the church was divided along racial lines, with Christians on both sides of the conflict between the oppressors and oppressed. The crisis presented the church with a moment of truth to choose which side to take in the battle between social forces. It was a time to decide whether to follow the God of the cross who calls us to compassion and forgiveness over condemnation and rejection.
The Contributions of the Vincentian Charism : 10
The document discusses the concept of "vinFormation" which refers to the natural progression missionaries experience from encountering Christ in the poor and the poor in Christ. This process is described as a spiral or circular movement as the missionary's relationship with those they serve deepens over time. Both persons grow closer to deeper conversion as Christ draws them together. Missionaries are called to create spaces where the poor can experience joy, healing, and live according to the gospel's good news. They are asked to reflect on how this work has changed themselves and those they are called to serve.
Risky Living Session One
After John the Baptist was imprisoned, Jesus went to Galilee and proclaimed the good news that the kingdom of God was near. He called on people to repent and believe this good news. He explained that the time had come and God's kingdom was at hand, signaling people to change their ways and trust in Jesus' message. This included taking risks like immediately dropping what they were doing to follow Jesus, as demonstrated by his call to James and John to leave their fishing business and father to become his disciples.
The Chistmas Story
The document describes key events in the birth and early life of Jesus Christ. It mentions that John the Baptist was born to prepare for Jesus, and that the angel Gabriel told Mary and Joseph that Mary would give birth to Jesus, who would save people from their sins. It also describes Jesus' birth in Bethlehem and shepherds and wise men visiting the infant Jesus.
Daniel 5
This document appears to be a retelling of the biblical story of Belshazzar's Feast from the book of Daniel in the Bible. It describes how the Babylonian king Belshazzar held a feast and drank from gold and silver vessels that had been stolen from the Temple in Jerusalem. That night, a disembodied hand appeared and wrote a mysterious message on the palace wall. Belshazzar summoned his wise men to interpret it but none could. Daniel was then called and told the king that the writing meant Belshazzar's kingdom would be divided and given to the Medes and Persians, which came true that same night when Belshazzar was killed and Darius the Mede became
Eliminate Anxiety Forever
If you have ever had what has become known as a “panic attack,” take comfort in the fact that you are by no means alone.
A panic attack always comes with the acute sense of impending doom. You feel you are either about to lose your mind or one of your vital bodily functions is about to cease functioning and you will end your days right there among the canned goods and frozen food.
You are by no means alone; you’re not even one in a million. In America, it is estimated that almost 5% of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. For some, it may be the infrequent panic attacks that only crop up in particular situations-like when having to speak in front of others, while, for other people, it can be so frequent and recurring that it inhibits them from leaving their home.
Frequent panic attacks often develop into what medical physicians refer to as an “anxiety disorder.”

The document discusses emotional wellness and stress. It defines emotional wellness as having self-esteem, managing stress, having confidence, and being able to love others. Stress is the body's reaction to demands placed on it by daily experiences. Some stress is beneficial but too much stress can lead to exhaustion and health issues over time. The body has physiological reactions to stress through its fight-or-flight response. Managing stress involves reducing external stressors, addressing internal causes of stress, and coping with acute stress. Not managing stress can negatively impact physical and mental health.

Pilate questions Jesus about whether he is the King of the Jews. Jesus responds that his kingdom is not of this world and that he was born to testify to the truth.

Gods Favour
This week Casten continues our series on Ezra with a challenge to ask ourselves what Kingdom of God message are we "banging on about"?
Ezra 4
The enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were rebuilding the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem. They approached the leaders and offered to help with the rebuilding. However, their real intention was to discourage and frustrate the work. They bribed officials to work against the rebuilding efforts and wrote letters to the king accusing the Jews of rebellion. The enemies did not want the walls of Jerusalem rebuilt in case it diminished tribute and taxes paid to the king.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
This week Rachel looks at Chapter 7 as we continue our series on the Book of Ezra. Rachel challenges us to look at the glorious hand of the Lord upon us.

chakra yoga
Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
