This presentation showcases the divine perspective on marriage and alchemical union of souls.
The time has come for the collective to be made aware of the concept of Twin Flames; who they are, where they come from and what they are here to do.
Twin souls are part of one original consciousness, that had been separated to manifest as the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. These divine lovers literally share the same soul.
They are here to assist humanity in their evolution of consciousness and to teach them the important lesson of unconditional love. Through the reunion with their divine counterpart, they close the spiritual circle of life. They reestablish the template of divine love that originates from the ancients of the Golden Age. They belong to the resurrected saints that according to Utiger (2013) will initiate the Era of the Millennium.
They exemplify what Holy Matrimony truly is, why it is important and why it had been established in the first place. The spiritual intimacy between partners precedes emotional and physical intimacy. Friendship leads into courtship, which leads into the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
Worldly love and marriage had been completely put upside down. It is essentially based on physical lust and egoistic desires. We must give love a chance. Once the physical contact is initiated it is very unlikely if not impossible to achieve emotional or even spiritual intimacy.
Major histocompatibility complexes are immune system cells, manifested in body odors, that are automatically picked up by the unconscious mind in the quest of a romantic partner. They allow the determination of genetic compatibility through chemosensory communication, without any kind of physical or intimate interaction (Wedekind, 1995). We automatically choose a mating partner with a very high percentage of genetic compatibility or complementarity, to make sure that our offspring disposes of an optimal immune system diversity and functioning and this complementarity enhances sexual desire and satisfaction and the wish to procreate (Kromer et al. 2016). Artificial perfumes change or mask our natural body odor and the birth control pill interferes with our ability to recognize genetic compatibility through olfactory cues (Roberts et al., 2008). Both are better to be avoided in the quest of the optimal genetic match.
Beyond all this, God chooses a partner for us that is compatible in all imaginable senses, on the physical, emotional and ethereal level, which makes all these mating theories obsolete. The challenge is to pray to God for the perfect partner and to wait for this person to come into your life and not to beg for His approval when truly our personal choice is already made. It demands great spiritual maturity and advancement in the transformation process for the perfect partner to be sent into our lives.

Eudist Triduum 2016
[Introduction Eudist Triduum 2016] In these days, Catholic Church has three commemorations with a Eudis background: The Solemnity of Jesus Christ, High and Eternal Priest, the solemnity of the Heart of Jesus and the special memory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
With these celebrations the Unit of Eudist Spirituality wants to invite all the Great Eudist Family to meditate with Saint John Eudes about the content of these three feasts, which we have called “Eudist Triduum”.
You will find here a proposal to celebrate these dates from our spirituality: a payer to start, a meditation and a final prayer.

Department of Eudist Spirituality
The Heart of Christ Triduum
Dears Friends:
We offer you, in this brochure, some steps to celebrate the three days in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus before the celebration of the feast next 20th October, in the Congregation of Jesus and Mary.
First of all we will prepare ourselves in our heart to have some this time of prayer by telling the Ave Cor Sanctissimum , then we will read the proposed texts for each day; and finally we will tell the Letany of the Heart of Jesus and we will join our commitment of loving Jesus in everything.
The document discusses the spirituality of the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo, which is based on the Trinity and focuses on communion, compassion, and contemplation. Their spirituality has three dimensions - personal prayer and conversion, interpersonal communion and love in action, and social mission of justice and ecology. It is rooted in the life of the Trinity and inspired by the communication and communion between the three persons of the Trinity.
This document is Pope Francis' proclamation of an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. It discusses how God is merciful, and how Jesus showed mercy by healing the sick and forgiving sins. Pope Francis calls for Catholics to practice acts of mercy by showing compassion to those suffering and helping people in need. He establishes a Holy Door in St. Peter's Basilica as a sign of God's mercy and calls on Catholics to undertake pilgrimages as a journey of conversion and finding God's mercy.
This is a collection of some of the best writings on the issue of prayer to the Holy Spirit. He is God and so it is valid to offer prayer to the third Person of the Godhead. Catholics have far more prayers to the Spirit, but Protestants are getting into the experience of worship of the Holy Spirit. Prayers to Him acknowledge that you accept Him as God and as an equal member of the Trinity.
This document discusses the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It begins by noting the devotion has existed since the Church's founding but was only formally honored in the 17th century when Jesus appeared to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. Jesus asked for a feast day in honor of His Sacred Heart and means of showing devotion including frequent communion, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, sanctifying the first Friday of each month, and venerating images of His Heart. The document outlines nine offices/thorns of Jesus' Heart and ways individuals can offer conversion, daily lives in offering to God, and reparation. It encourages dedicating to the spirituality of Christ's Heart.
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the Lord's Prayer, examining each line and petition. It discusses how the prayer was taught by Jesus to his disciples and summarizes the key Christian teachings. The Lord's Prayer is presented as the fundamental prayer of Christianity that expresses humility, trust in God, and asks for divine help and deliverance from evil. Several Church fathers and saints are cited for their insights into the meaning and significance of the prayer.
This month we celebrate the feast of the Holy Eucharist, Corpus Christi, and we want to renew our desire to receive our Lord and to be close to Him. In some countries, lockdowns are lifting and we are able to attend Mass and to visit our Lord in the Tabernacle on behalf of those still waiting. This is a time — like all times — to thank God for so many things that we normally take for granted and to pray for one another.
«Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God» (Mt 5: 8). A presentation based on the Holy Father's message for 2015 World Youth Day, which was held on Palm Sunday at the diocesan level.
This spiritual reflection guide discusses Pope Francis' 2015 Lenten message about returning to God with love. It encourages taking Lent as an opportunity to deepen one's relationship with God through the heart, not just intellect. Lent should be a time of renewal, restoration, and being renewed by God's love. The guide then discusses how to find answers to life's ponderings through prayer and experiencing epiphany moments that call us to respond in faith, hope and love. It ends by asking how one has responded to an epiphany moment in their own life.
Catholic RCIA class Living the Beatitudes.pptxRCBuilder
The document discusses the path to holiness through embracing the Beatitudes and following Christ's example. It explains that holiness involves dying to self and cultivating virtues like charity, humility, and mercy. While the call to holiness may seem demanding, God provides the grace to live righteously through faith, prayer, and community. The Beatitudes offer a model for moral living that confronts choices between good and evil and leads to eternal life.
1. The document discusses the concept of unity among Christians based on Paul's letter to the Philippians.
2. It outlines four motives for Christians to seek and have unity: encouragement in Christ, comfort of love, fellowship with the Spirit, and affection, mercies, and compassion.
3. The key message is that because of Christians' relationship with Christ and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, they should be of one mind and seek to unify rather than cause disunity.
Paul had a deep affection for the Philippians that came from Christ. He calls God as his witness to how much he longed to see them all and help them grow in faith. Paul's love for them was inspired by Christ's love and compassion, which gave Paul a new perspective to love all believers equally as fellow members united in Christ. Paul was confident in the Philippians because of this love he had for them in his heart from God.
The document describes the Novena to Saint John Eudes and its benefits. It lists healing miracles attributed to the novena, including healing of cancer, paralysis, diabetes, and other illnesses. It then provides passages for each day of the novena, beginning with background on Saint John Eudes and excerpts from his writings focusing on finding authentic love, devotion to Jesus and his mysteries, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It encourages committing to authentic love through acts of mercy each day and ends with a prayer.
Locked doors meant to keep others out ultimately harm the church more than open doors. There is a high cost to fearing outsiders more than disappointing God. The church is called to welcome all people as Christ welcomed us.

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.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Chandra Dev: Unveiling the Mystery of the Moon GodExotic India
Shining brightly in the sky, some days more than others, the Moon in popular culture is a symbol of love, romance, and beauty. The ancient Hindu texts, however, mention the Moon as an intriguing and powerful being, worshiped by sages as Chandra.

PREAMBLE
When Fr. de Clorivière was chaplain of the English
Benedictines in Brussels, he wrote in English a Novena in
honour of the Heart of Jesus.
In this year of faith, in response to the desire of the
General Chapter of 2011, to deepen our founding texts of
our spirituality of cordiality, we propose an adaptation of
this novena.
The morning prayer, grace to request & the invitation to
reflection are drawn from this Novena of 1770.The pages
on the right-hand offer a deepening of the texts.
This would be a grace for the Society if each DHM is
committed to pray this novena for nine days before the
Feast of the Sacred Heart. This prayer may be shared with
our lay friends.

To make our prayers effectual and remove anything that

imitate our Divine Saviour according to the text that we
have placed at the beginning of this letter: “In your minds
you must be the same as Christ Jesus.” Phil.2.5

What a lesson for us! How carefully we should we study it
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This divine Heart, is a
masterpiece held in an almighty hand. In it are assembled
all created and uncreated perfections, and the treasures of
knowledge and of divine wisdom are contained within it.
It is great and holy and beautiful enough to be worthy
object of His good pleasure before whom all greatness, all
created sanctity disappears. From this heart, as from their
source, flow all graces and benefits…

As for us, how do we act? What ought we to do?

3rd Day
I loved them to the end.
cf. Jn 13:1
Grace to request
For the grace of a heart full of compassion
for a Heart full of love
but not loved
Invitation to reflection
During his earthly life, Jesus was persecuted
from his birth till his death on a cross.
His Heart has become a sign of contradiction,
his Eucharistic Body is often despised,
even by those who believe in God.
Even among priests and religious
are found indifference, coldness.
How the slightest offense
against the Heart of Jesus
would seem detestable
if we really loved Him
and if we had a real
conformity of sentiments with him...
9. 8
Text to meditate
Your love O Jesus goes to excess, you want to be where
people are, your Heart does not suffer the absence. As a
divine sun, you illumine and warm the world, not by rays
fallen from far away, but by your actual presence.

thanksgiving
Let the earth be united to heaven
to love and praise our Lord.

Text to meditate
I could keep to the Apostle’s words and speak to you of
the exaltation of the Sacred Humanity and the ineffable
glory of that name before which” every knee shall bow in
heaven and earth and under the earth”. I could picture to
you the peoples of the earth submitting to religion as a
recompense to the desires of our Saviour’s heart; in
consequence, if here below you share in that divine Heart,
you will have part in His glory, His happiness.

and all services to men that appeal to them.

Text to meditate
Christ shows us His divinity in its glory, and the
humiliations of His humanity cannot dim its splendour;
they only serve to show the value of his love. The less the
eyes of the body can see, the clearer is the eye of faith.
Who then can hinder us from contemplating our Lord,
His sacred humanity, His cross, and the throne of glory
where He sits at the right hand of the father?
2nd Circular Letter, p 32.

Open our eyes today
to the hidden divinity of Christ.

she formed the heart of the Son of man
with her blood.
The Heart of Mary was formed by the Father
on the model of the Heart of her Son.
In these two hearts are the same feelings,
same desires, even love.
Jesus receives his mother's human form
and communicates his divine being
in a mutual exchange.
15. 14
Text to meditate
This act of charity should be "of one heart and soul" of all
those who are united in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and
Mary, but the fire illumines in us must be universal, it
must participate in the qualities of the fire burning in the
Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It must be active,
ardent and strong as death.

humility, charity.
17. 16
Text to meditate
The love of the Heart of Jesus for God is the love of the
Son of God for the Father. The love of the Heart of Jesus
for man is modeled on the love of the father for the son.
“As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you”. Its
only limit is the immense capacity of the heart of God-
Incarnate.

Today, welcome and respect
each other as sacred ground.

love may so unite me to Thee, and transform me into
Thee, that all my actions, taking their beginning from
Thee, and being of the utmost possible conformity with
Thine, may, through so glorious a union, become pleasing
in the sight of God.
And that not a single grace bestowed on me be void of fruit,
or otherwise than most perfectly corresponded to. Hear me,
sweetest heart of my adorable Redeemer! By that plenitude
of all good gifts so lavishly outpoured in Thee, and of which
we have received everything, I conjure Thee to hear and
grant my prayer.

imprint this divine likeness in me and make me and my
feelings and interior sentiments and in all my outward
