A Study in Astrology: Modern Emma's Birth Chart Reading
Information and Birth Chart provided by the website Astro Seek.
Name: Emma Alice Marguerite Carew
Date of Birth: October 4, 1995
Time of Birth: 06:42 a.m. (BST/DST), 05:42 a.m. (Universal)
Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Sun in Libra
Perhaps to make their sign happy, people born under the sign of Libra are usually prudent, balanced and harmonious. In any case, they think before they do something. It is possible to find hot-headed individuals among Libras, but they are very rare exceptions. These people are sincere, honest and decent. They find it very hard to tolerate noisy, rude or abusive behavior and conduct. People born under this sign have strong aesthetic sense and artistic talent; it does not matter what artistic activity they choose to do, they will be great at it. If they do not become active artists, then their good taste will be seen in everything they do. They are skillful, diligent, intelligent and adventurous.
Moon in Aquarius
Your relationship with your emotions can be complicated. You want to free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger and jealousy, but it can lead to the fact that others will expect you to be incredibly tolerant when they display such emotions. You may have the tendency to create the greatest possible distance from your natural instincts and emotions, but the situation in which you unconsciously get yourself into forces you to accept the reality. You have the ability to be an impartial observer of life, and this gives you the ability to be a good psychologist who can give other people useful and impartial advice.
Ascendant/Rising in Libra
Libra prefers tasks that are well thought out, prepared and based on objectives and correct assessment of the situation. Trying to take into consideration opinions of others can slow the person down and manifest as hesitation, indecision or opportunism. It is important to create a strong system of values and norms which can be followed, because this enables easier decision-making.
Mercury in Libra
People with Mercury in Libra love the balance between theory and practice. They often make funny, but diplomatic remarks about people and situations. Their original way of thinking is reflected in their writing. With a bit of exaggeration it can be said that while people with Mercury in the Gemini prefer writing reports, people with Mercury in Libra go straight into writing a novel because they need to develop their ideas instead of putting some information on the paper. It can also be said that Mercury feels the best in air signs, but it can be a bit shallow in them - these people do not like to study things into the greatest detail. Air, the ruling element, which is definitely not a solid substance, is responsible for this, probably only one, shortcoming. Their intelligence serves their judgment and forces them to often rethink their beliefs. It gives them extensive education and ease of expression.
Venus in Libra
People with Venus in Libra understand and value art and social life. They have a sense of harmony and they perceive life in terms of beauty and justice. This sensitivity comes from their mind, not from their emotions. The nature of their feelings is likely to influence how they want to use their artistic skills and charm. They are aware that beauty is important so they ask themselves whether there is something more to their current relationship or not. If they are looking for a partner who is enchanting, flawless and has all the social virtues, they will attract him with their charm. Over time, after they get to know each other, something much more than just attractiveness and sympathy can develop. At this stage, they will either start looking for somebody else or they will criticize the product content and forget about the packaging.
Mars in Scorpio
People with Mars in Scorpio are pleased to be able to hide their power and show it to the world at the right moment. They have a strong sense of survival and sexuality, and they are well aware of how these two instincts intertwine. This sense makes them very attractive, and the effect is that other people never act indifferently toward them – they always notice them, whether they are trying to get their reaction or not. As if they strongly and automatically provoke the most basic hopes and fears in people. They do not try to get anything or do anything if they do not really want it. Their challenging aura, whether active or passive, will always attract great loyalty or great hostility, nothing in between.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
People with Jupiter in Sagittarius identify themselves to some extent with this life philosophy - "Life is what we make out of it." Because of this belief, they have innate desire to expand their horizons, whether by traveling, studying or simply by living. They know that one thing leads to another and that one step on our way gives us something that we will need in the steps that will follow. Consciously or unconsciously, they believe in foresight. At a higher level they are fully aware that foresight is much more useful than just a nanny from the sky who will forever guard them to ensure that they do not fall and get hurt. They believe or they at least feel the urge to believe that there is some form of "intelligence system" that drives and supports existence and that makes people ambitious, self-confident and able to control themselves. Their efforts are aimed at getting onto a leading position that gives them power over others, but also the ability to rule wisely and correctly.
Saturn in Pisces
People with Saturn in Pisces have to strike a balance between the need to ignore the demands of their own life and the need to take care of other people's problems. In order to find the golden middle way between these extremes, sooner or later they will have to find a way to call the wisdom of the Ancient Soul within themselves. They should discover their inborn ability to help others and at the same time solve their own problems. They must go to the depths in order to discover the lost wisdom and insight. The Ancient Soul longs for ancient peace. It combines an ideal and strength. These people are predestined for life in seclusion, and for philosophy, scientific research and loneliness.
Uranus in Capricorn
(Note: Uranus is a slow transpersonal planet and may remain in a single sign for up to many years. The description of Uranus in Capricorn is therefore valid for the entire generation of people and is very general. The characteristic of the personality is in the description of Uranus in the 4th house.)
Uranus in Capricorn intensifies some controversial features of people born under the sign of Capricorn, for example their ability to control others, but it also gives them the tendency to rebel against order and authority. They will tend to introduce new orders and they may also try to control politics. It will increase the coldness of people born in this sign. These people have a fairly good chance to introduce and enforce new management methods.
Neptune in Capricorn
(Note: Neptune is a slow transpersonal planet and may remain in a single sign for up to many years. The description of Neptune in Capricorn is therefore valid for the entire generation of people and is very general. The characteristic of the personality is in the description of Neptune in the 4th house.)
Neptune in Capricorn gives people determination and the ability to concentrate. However, it can ruin their typical Capricorn rationality. This position somewhat shatters their natural desire for perfection, but it gives people desire to achieve spiritual goals.
Pluto in Scorpio
(Note: Pluto is a slow transpersonal planet and may remain in a single sign for up to many years. The description of Pluto in Scorpio is therefore valid for the entire generation of people and is very general. The characteristic of the personality is in the description of Pluto in the 2nd house.)
People with Pluto in Scorpio have a passionate desire for mystery. They like to use intrigues and they have a great disposition for personal transformation that can happen especially through their desires. They are prolific, universal and capable. They radiate occult powers. Their sexuality is also transforming for them, but at the same time they can feel restricted by it.

AN: Here’s chapter two!
Title: The Ripple Effect
Characters: Hordak, Entrapta, Odessa, features original characters
Pairing: Entrapdak, features other canon couples (and some fanon)
Rating: M
Read on AO3. It’s always posted there first.
                                                     Evaluation
“You want us to help you… find your dad’s… home planet?” Hydrangea questions.
“Not necessarily that,” Odessa replies. “I’ve been mulling over this the last couple of years. Wandering through space, it’s apparent that my father’s species has predominantly settled into Etherian life. But when I ask my father where we are from, he has no answer.”
“Not in the withholding information way,” Tristan clarifies.
“Exactly. In the sense he has no answer to give. Period. I’ve discussed it with my mother, and she believes it could be an exciting chance to find out where he’s from!” Odessa claps her hands together. “We know about the biology, physiology, mental health, behavior of one person. My father has been studied thoroughly for years, but his makeup can only tell us so much.”
They nod in understanding. It does make sense. He has been genetically manufactured over and over, thousands of versions of him co-existing among species that still have yet to see anything like him before. Hordak has lived among Etherians, has explored world upon world, but they know he is an anomaly. They all do.
Odessa looks down at her hands, an anomaly herself. Her parents have always been supportive of her intellectual pursuits, and this could very well be one of the greatest. She has filled a medical textbook composed of both Entrapta’s research, Hordak’s explanations, and her own observations, theories and notes about how his species operates. But what good is it if it simply applies to a single individual; that’s not applicable to how science or medical practice works.
Hydrangea pours them tea. She knows how determined Odessa can be once she sets her mind to something. There’s no stopping her once her brain gains traction on an idea. Tristan’s set face comprehends this as well.
Tristan speaks first, “When would you like us to begin?”
Odessa smirks, “Soon as you’re done with your drink.”
“Hm, of course you’d say that.”
“Damn right,” Odessa answers.
Hydrangea places her hands on her hips, “Alright, Des. We’ll get going soon as we’re done!”
“Or you could chug your chamomile in one go.”
“No.”
                                                              -
Dryl is etched further into rocky cliffs, its labyrinth excavated deep inside the mountain. Its residents welcome their princess, happy to see her return. Entrapta’s kingdom had been left to its own devices for years, even prior to Entrapta’s departure; yet they view Odessa as the rightful heir, and treat her as such. She supposes it's something to be grateful for, as it does leave them with a place to rest and organize without much interference.
Though she could do without the large paintings of herself lining the walls.
“I never get over how cute you were as a baby,” Hydrangea says, giggling. “Look how chubby you were!”
“You were so adorable,” Tristan gushes. “So innocent.”
“The sweetest little baby,” she continues. “I still want to pinch your itty bitty face!”
“Shut up,” Odessa pouts, blushing. Curse these portraits… and curse their laughter...
“Odessa! Hello, hello!”
Relieved, she turns, smiling at the friendly face, “Hi, Uncle Wrong-Man.”
Crushing her to his chest, he presses their cheeks together, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen my most favorite niece in the world!”
“You’re going to make all the other nieces jealous,” she says. Then smiles, “But it’s true.”
“I can’t help it, you were the first niece I had!”
Back on her feet, Odessa glances at the vicinity. Normally, there’s more of her uncles wandering through the halls. “Where is everyone?”
“Oh, they’re working outside or in the kitchens. We heard you were back and we felt a welcoming party would be fun!”
“You don’t have to throw one every time we come back.”
His eyes turn watery, a sad, morose frown on his features, “Oh… I see… You don’t… like my parties anymore…”
“No, no, that’s not it!” Odessa says, trying to cheer him back up. “I just meant you don’t need to go through all the trouble each visit.”
He looks up at her, ears drooping lower, “Do you like them?”
“Yes, Uncle Wrong-Man, I love your parties,” she insists. “You’re the best at it!”
In seconds, his bubbly personality returns, “Excellent! I look forward to giving you another party suited to your tastes!”
Tristan leans toward Odessa, hand held up to his mouth, “Wow, for a minute I thought I heard violins.”
“He has that dramatic flair to him,” she agrees.
“How have your parents been? I haven’t seen them yet!” W.H. asks.
“Mom and Dad are fine,” Odessa tells him, following him through the halls. The maze has been modified to be easier to map out. The first time she had come here, they had gotten lost since Entrapta couldn’t quite recall where all the secret entrances were. Odessa took it upon herself to make her own layout, and added to it whenever a change had been made. “They went to Beast Island to see how it is there.”
His ears fall for a moment, “Aw, I hope they’ll visit soon!”
“I’m sure they will,” she assures him. “They had some business to conduct over there.”
“In the meantime, what brings you to Dryl?”
“I wanted to talk to you and some of the others regarding your past,” she explains.
W.H. enters the closest kitchen, walking toward the oven. Tucking on mitts, a perplexed expression crosses his features, “Our past? My dearest niece… have you been afflicted by amnesia?”
“No, my memories serve me right,” Odessa says, patient. “I am asking for information regarding where we had come from, as a whole species. What world we originated from, what our culture was like. I had spoken with father about the matter, but he said he didn’t know due to being younger than the rest of you.”
W.H. crosses over to the countertop, removing the cookies onto a cooling rack. He is silent for a few moments, and it is clear he is choosing his words carefully, trying to understand what she’s asking. He turns, a serious mien about him, unusual on his face. “I… I’m not sure, either.”
Odessa walks over to him, “Is it because you were separated from the hivemind?”
“I don’t believe so,” he replies. Folding his arms over his chest, the fact they’re all one person reveals itself in his posture and tone. “We had been created to serve Horde Prime. Nothing more or less. And I do think that I myself had been cloned after your father. He had been Horde Prime’s general as well, and if he didn’t know, one of our elder brothers might have the knowledge you seek.”
Odessa glances at Hydrangea and Tristan, then back to her uncle. “Do you know who would?”
W.H. ponders for a minute. “Hm, no one here, I am certain. The residents of Dryl are like myself—of the younger group, since we have more people skills to associate with the Etherians.”
Hydrangea says, “I always wondered how that worked. Where you were designated and why.���
W.H. nods, “Oh, yes, we put thought into what our new purposes would be. After I helped my brother and sister with Beast Island, I came here to demonstrate how to function with Etherians!”
Tristan walks over to the counter, “Where do you recommend we go, then? Also, can I have one?”
W.H. beams, nodding enthusiastically, “Please do! I am going to make much more. But in regards to your first question, I would suggest visiting family in Mystacore or Beast Island.”
Odessa takes a cookie off the rack as well, munching. Mystacore is closer, so it would be prudent to try there before traveling to Beast Island. There are portals stationed throughout Etheria, but it’ll be worth stopping by Mystacore. She hasn’t seen anyone there at all yet. Although, it’s not as if there are many who live in the clouds, visiting her family there is always exciting.
“Thank you, Uncle Wrong-Man,” Odessa says, reaching up to kiss his cheek. “We’ll head there now!”
“Take some food with you to go,” he insists. In a flash, he’s bagging the cookies into a cellophane sack, tying it with a pink ribbon that shapes into a butterfly. “Healthy meals are important, but so are treats! Otherwise, you get moody.”
Hydrangea and Tristan are handed their own bags, much to their surprised delight. Before Odessa can accompany them out the door, W.H. stops her, giving her another, “Would you mind taking this with you for your cousin?”
Odessa smiles, “I wouldn’t mind at all.”
                                                             -
Hordak and his brothers were categorized not by their clothes, or hair dye choices, but by their eyes. Odessa and her mother had noted the various shades of eye color, their teeth matching them the most; however, inside of their mouths, it adjusts to mimic the change as well, affecting the tongue and beneath it, gums, hard and soft palates, uvula, even extending down to the oropharynx. All her uncles are in good health, and with none of them dead, she can only assume that the change continues down the esophagus. She got it in writing several years ago that, should any be willing to be dissected for scientific purposes, she has a few choices for her study.
Their eye colors are fascinating: while they all reflect light to glow, which is meant to intimidate opponents, she has observed the change serves as behavioral distinction. The lighter the color, the more mellow and passive the personality; the darker or more intense, the more independent and aggressive. A chameleon-like feature, reflecting mood. And, in turn, signifying mental and physical health, as peppier individuals tend to be less plagued by feelings of inadequacy, anger, and low self-esteem. W.H. had his eye color eventually become the joyful chartreuse yellow she’s known since birth, and her father’s returned to their fiery red sometime after the war. This is the one true variation that doesn’t need attire or fanciful hair styles and dyes to show that no matter how alike they are by DNA, they are their own separate people.
So when she teleports to Mystacore, and she finds dark blue eyes staring at her from above, she remembers, quite immediately, that sometimes, darker eye colors don’t indicate low self-esteem but rather, an egregious amount of confidence.
Her uncle jumps down from his perch, landing daintily on his feet. He narrows his eyes, leering, “Odessa… it has been ages since you’ve arrived on Mystacore.”
“Hi, Talon,” Odessa says.
He looks at her friends, “You two are faring well, I hope.”
Hydrangea smiles, “Yes, thank you for asking!”
Tristan nods, “You look good, too, Talon.”
“Indeed,” Talon answers. “It would be a shame if I lost my abilities.”
With that, he throws knives out from his sleeve. Tristan dodges the attack by barreling to the side, somersaulting along the ground. Hydrangea calls up plants from underground, knives embedding into the sides. Odessa leaps into the air, reaching behind her to draw out a handheld bar. With a click, it extends to a staff, and another morphs it quickly into a pilum.
Reeling back her arm, she launches it with full ferocity at Talon. He avoids it, jumping to the left and pulling out more knives, but he aims them at Tristan, who runs toward the nearest fountain to pull water out from its containment. Tristan moves his arms upward, pushing out enough water to create a vertical depth, the knives slowing down as they pierce its surface and float inside.
Odessa tugs her spear out from the dirt, cornering her uncle at the right. Hydrangea pulls plants forward, fingers splayed in the air. From her fingertips, electricity strings across her exoskeleton. Tristan rushes to their side, water sloshing around them, encasing Talon in its center, creating a barrier.
Talon sneers, then bursts out laughing. His stance loosens, standing upright, “Your senses haven’t weakened. Good. I’d be vexed if you squandered my generosity to teach you combat.”
Odessa smirks, minimizing her staff and settling it behind her back, “We wouldn’t do that.”
Hydrangea grins, “Tristan and I do practice on our own.”
Tristan shifts the water back toward its source, then rubs the back of his neck, “Which is great, since there was no holding back from that attack.”
“Enemies don’t show mercy,” Talon says. Adjusting his collar, he nods his head, “But tell me, what brings my niece and her companions to Mystacore?”
Odessa speaks, “I wanted to ask you something.”
“Me?” he replies, curious.
“Yes. It’s about your origins. Uncle Wrong-Man said it might be beneficial to come to Mystacore and question my relatives here.”
Talon raises a brow. He looks up at his home, then addresses the trio, “Are you intending to stay for longer than an hour?”
“Most likely.”
“I will invite you to my home, then. Come. Dinner will be prepared soon, and we may discuss the topic during.”
Accepting this, they head in the direction of his home. An impressive, ornate building that’s three stories high; they tread up wide steps, where one can overlook the weigela bushes lined around the vicinity’s front entrance, a fountain spouting water in the garden’s center, surrounded by lilacs and roses. Cool air wafts over their bodies, welcome from the heat outside. Odessa remarks that the decor has only slightly changed, the furniture taking on silver, blue, and white qualities, polished until they gleam.
Going to the stairs, Talon nods at them, “Make yourselves at home. As usual, do not break anything. I will see you at dinner promptly.”
Once he’s gone, Hydrangea chuckles, “He’s still intense.”
“He’s gonna kill us one day,” Tristan sighs.
Odessa pats his shoulder, “Only if we let him.”
He lips thin out, “Not reassuring, Des.”
Climbing the steps, they decide to wait until they are called, and opt to entertain themselves by bothering someone else.
                                                             -
Magic radiates within the room, energy felt even behind the door. Odessa carefully pushes it open, seeing a slim figure move around. Putting a finger to her lips, she leads her friends into her cousin’s quarters. His face is stern, staring at the spell hovering over the ground at shoulder height.
Hydrangea sits quietly on a cushion on the floor, and Tristan does the same. Odessa leans against the wall, and they all watch. Eon is her cousin, and their similarities begin and end with their fathers having chosen Etherian women as their partners. He differs from her, and any other potential cousin, by having the capability to do magic. Real, Etherian magic.
Eon takes measured breathing, focusing on the spell. It elongates toward the ceiling and floor, then narrows to a thin line. Reaching for it, he plucks it with his forefinger. It snaps, and a discordant sound follows, uncomfortable and shrill. Hydrangea and Tristan cover their ears, as Odessa winces.
Eon looks at them, brow raised. He grins, “Did you all enjoy the show?”
“We did, until that,” Hydrangea complains, glaring at him. She frowns, lightly slapping her ears, “Aw no, there’s some ringing!”
“It’ll pass in a few moments,” Eon explains. “Besides, you three coming into my room unannounced and unwelcome deserves a bit of retribution.”
“By popping our eardrums?” Tristan asks, deadpan.
“Exactly,” Eon says, one hand on his hip. He turns to Odessa, and smiles. “You’re here sooner than expected.”
“I believe we arrived on time,” she answers, grinning back. She hasn’t seen him for a while, but he has gotten taller since then. He takes after their species' propensity for large heights, but she knows he’s grown a few inches and might continue to grow for the next couple of years as well.
Eon begins putting away his spellbook and notes, arranging them neatly, “What are the three of you doing here? With you on Etheria, you normally visit me later on your returns.”
“I came to ask your father some questions, but then he invited us to dinner.”
“He can be standoffish, but oddly enough, never when it comes to hosting meals.”
Hydrangea sits up, “We got into a sparring session with him right away too.”
Eon joins them on the floor, one knee bent to prop up an arm, “I had mine early this morning. You know him, he’s never done with training.”
Crossing outstretched legs, Tristan reclines against the wall, “Your parents don’t let up, huh?”
“No, but I head to my place at Bright Moon later in the month. I check in biweekly to continue my sparring and magic training, then head back and repeat.”
“That’s a lot of back and forth,” Hydrangea adds, holding a pillow to her chest.
Shrugging, Eon says, “I don’t mind. Keeps me busy.”
Odessa chuckles lightly, taking a seat beside Tristan, “For being super busy, Uncle Wrong-Man said to give you this.” Pulling out the bag, she tosses it to him.
Eon catches it deftly, a quiet ‘yes’ of triumph leaving his lips. His diet is strict when he’s with his parents, for optimal nutrition and betterment. But he has a sweet tooth that rivals Odessa and Entrapta, thus any opportunity to consume sugar is taken. Using a levitation spell, he has it placed atop his desk, and an invisibility spell follows after, keeping it from view.
“Won’t your parents find it? It’s not like you can’t smell cookies,” Odessa states.
“I’ll say it was one of you.”
Hydrangea laughs, “I don’t think they’ll be entirely fooled by that.”
“If not, that’s fine by me too,” Eon says. “I let them think they’re savvier than myself.”
Tristan smirks, “How often has that worked?”
“More than for you,” Eon says, smirking back.
Odessa and Hydrangea whoop at Tristan, who laughs in good humor.
Stretching his arms up and to the side, Eon turns to his cousin, “How did the last journey go?”
“It went as planned. We went to Pilan, and my parents found what they needed for research.”
“And you two?” he asks, addressing the others.
Hydrangea lays on her stomach, drawing circles on the pillow, “Hm… my moms have started taking me to council meetings, which is interesting. We had a gathering with some of the leaders in Plumeria that are helping to manage its growing space. And New Chelicerata has been thriving for years now, since we removed all the machinery in the Fright Zone and expanded it into the Flower Field.”
“Not all the toxins have been removed, I’m assuming.”
“Some of the groundwater had been too polluted, and it leaked into larger bodies of water, but, as a whole, we started seeing real progress six years ago.”
“I’ve been helping the residents there by removing water too far gone,” Tristan adds. “We’ve been separating them into larger containers as instructed, and we’re hoping that newer technology from Entrapta and Hordak will yield positive results in another decade or so.”
“Even if it’s slow, progression is always good.”
Odessa glances to her left, letting her mind drift. Time doesn’t pass by the same when traveling through space. She watches her mother age, while her father stays the same, and that’s the extent of how often she pays attention to the changes happening around her. It’s not from ignorance, but from not giving too much thought to it, even with the years she has spent returning to Etheria to evaluate and aid her people here.
Settling against Tristan, Odessa yawns. He keeps his body still as she falls asleep, finding their chatter relaxing. Dinner will arrive sooner if she’s napping. Even closing her eyes is enough for her body to rest, breathing quietly as she listens to them discuss any topic they happen upon.
Her friends are interrupted mid-conversation, a knock at the door grabbing their attention. Odessa opens an eye. The housekeeper bows her head, addressing Eon, “Your parents are waiting for you in the dining room. Please, follow me.”
                                                              -
Odessa knows her uncle, Talon, is a force to be reckoned with in combat, but her aunt, Nyxia, is a woman with severe features and a severer personality. If there was ever given a choice between fighting him or her, they may have to weigh their options a little more carefully.
She is seated next to Eon, with Hydrangea and Tristan placed across from them. Odessa leans toward her cousin, “Did Nyxia poison the food this time?”
Eon shakes his head, “Maybe Tristan’s.”
Tristan bawks, “Hey!”
Waving his hand, Eon smiles, “I’m teasing. It’s more than likely Hydrangea.”
“What?!” she demands, worried.
“You two are making this easy,” Eon grins, shaking his head. “Really, after all this time, you continue to doubt my parents’ hospitality.”
“I haven’t seen your mom in a while, okay? I wouldn’t know if I offended her last time,” Hydrangea breathes out, leaning back in her chair.
Ear twitching, Odessa catches the sound of footfalls, her aunt coming into view from the corridor, chin-length, violet hair framing lithe, dark features, gown flowing behind her. Definitely not a person to be out of line around.
But that only applies to non-relatives.
Nyxia smiles warmly at her niece, “Odessa! My charming girl, how have you been?”
“Wonderful, Aunt Nyxia, thank you,” Odessa replies, nodding her head in respect.
“Excellent. I heard all of you did well in your impromptu session with my husband earlier,” she says, making her way to the other end of the table. Standing beside her chair, she looks at her son’s other friends, “Talon remarked that you’ve improved considerably.”
“Thank you, ma’am,” Hydrangea and Tristan reply at once.
Talon comes from the opposite corridor, walking toward Nyxia. Pulling out the chair for her and sliding it beneath, he moves to the other end and takes his place at the head. The staff bring out their meal: roasted pheasants and potatoes, slathered in its drippings, with baked seasoned vegetables on the side. Wine is served to all of them, as Nyxia and Talon are lax in this department of child-rearing, though the option to have different beverages is always available. Odessa requests her usual fizzy drink, as Hydrangea asks for lemon water. Tristan and Eon have no qualms with the choice displayed in front of them.
“Smells delicious, Miss Nyxia,” Hydrangea compliments.
“Thank you, my dear,” she answers, laying a cloth on her lap. “When I heard you three were in Mystacore, I chose to make this instead.”
Odessa and Eon twiddle each other’s fingers under the table, a silent ‘fuck yeah’ to the change in menu. Nyxia is a phenomenal chef, but she abhors cooking. The usual staff do lovely work, except they are meant to keep things simple, clean, and balanced. Nyxia, despite agreeing with her husband on meal preparation, manages to create rich, satisfying food each time. Normally, when Odessa and her family are visiting.
Relishing this opportunity, Eon cuts into his pheasant, stabbing a portion of potato with it, melting on his tongue. Trying not to pretend-weep. Or actually weep.
“What was your question, Odessa?” Talon asks, swirling the wine in its glass. “It’s not like you to come without your parents.”
Dabbing her mouth, Odessa looks at him, “I wanted to ask you questions about your time serving as a soldier for Prime.”
He doesn’t break the smooth motion of his wrist, not minding that part of his life, “Yes?”
“I was told that older clones might have information regarding our origins. A life before Prime sought out to conquer the universe. My father and W.H. are too young to remember, or were never privy to it. You’re one of the eldest, so I figured to come here before heading to Beast Island.”
Talon sets down his glass, lifting his fork and knife. He takes a bite of his food, chewing quietly. Swallowing, he says, “I will be blunt: it is not possible to know such a thing. Our purpose, our life, was to do Prime’s bidding.”
“There isn’t anything you can think of?”
Talon mulls the question, glancing up at his wife, then back to the plate. He narrows his eyes, and they flicker to an even darker shade of blue for a fraction of a moment. He gives a minute shake of his head, imperceptible to all but his wife.
Odessa waits for him to speak, slipping out her recorder with a strand of hair.
“I… cannot remember a time before Horde Prime. There was only war. Ravaged lands, and screaming,” he leans forward. He meets his niece’s gaze, “You might have to go to Beast Island for your answers, though I do not trust they will know more. Many of us have been alive for decades, but not millennia.”
“Is there a reason for that?” Tristan wonders. “The hivemind was the source of connection. Did you lose memories once it left?”
“No, it doesn’t seem to be that way,” Talon answers, sipping his drink. “It’s more… you have recollections, starting from the present. And it continues backwards until it stops. A wall in your head, which is the moment of when we, for lack of a better word, are ‘born.’ From what I’ve gathered, raising Eon, and observing all of you growing up, an infant that develops naturally can have memories that are faint—both in sensation and imagery, and the mind’s eye develops scenarios of what could’ve happened. Piecing puzzles in your memory banks. Attempting to make sense of your childhood and surroundings, and it even causes you to feel certain emotions into adulthood on a subconscious level. For us, and my brothers, there is no guesswork. There is the instant of emerging from the vitrine, and from there it goes on. Our memories are crystal clear, and gaps do not occur. If we feel emotion, it’s from direct experiences, not preconceived ideas of maybe how we experienced living. The hivemind being removed made us how we are now, but its absence didn’t seem to affect anything else.”
“Fascinating,” Odessa says, forgetting her meal. “So, you remember everything?”
“Yes. It would seem my brothers and I recall memories at greater capacities than most.”
“Would you say you have photographic memory?” Hydrangea asks, leaning forward.
“Our superior intellect allows us to retain knowledge quicker, and we remember things for longer, but a true photographic memory isn’t an aspect we have considered.”
Nyxia cuts into her pheasant, “It’s not unlikely. Your brothers and you have shown an uncanny ability to remember things more greatly than Etherians. It might be prudent to research it further, wouldn’t you say?”
Nodding in agreement, Odessa would not rule it out. She’ll discuss it with her mother for an unbiased opinion later.
Dinner finishes with chiffon cake and fruit, leaving guests and hosts satisfied. Talon and Nyxia wave at the door, as Eon walks them to the portal.
“It was good to see you all,” Hydrangea says, turning to Eon. She clasps his hands, “You should visit more!”
Eon blushes slightly, still not used to open demeanors, “I’ll try to make an effort.”
Tristan pats his shoulder, “You have to get out more. Between you and Odessa, I don’t know who’s more of the hermit.”
“It’s definitely me,” Eon replies. “Odessa’s too needy.”
Punching him in the arm, Odessa gives a side-hug right after. She and her friends step onto the portal, “I’ll drop by again soon! And visit my parents sometime, dumbass.”
He flips her off, smirking.
Hopping through the portal, they arrive in Plumeria, where she bids goodbye to her friends. Then, she heads to Beast Island.
                                                               -
“Odessa! My little cupcake, how was your trip to Mystacore?” Entrapta asks. Imp, crawling around on the walls, chirps his greetings with Emily beeping at her return.
“It was very interesting,” Odessa says, pulling out her recorder. “Would you like to listen with me?”
“You bet!” Entrapta shouts, sidling over to sit on her hair. Odessa takes a proffered seat before playing back the conversation at dinner. She listens with rapt attention, the two of them quiet. Afterward, Entrapta grins, “That was fascinating! I had noticed that your relatives tend to be more affluent with recollection than most, but this requires more study.”
“Do you think there is a possibility that they have photographic memory?”
“We won’t know unless we test the hypothesis,” Entrapta turns to her daughter, grinning wide. “You know what that means!”
Odessa grins wide too, saying it with her.
“Time to experiment!”
                                                               -
Odessa and Entrapta had to decide what and how to measure. The test is simple on paper, but part of the reason memory tests can be difficult is due to fallibility of nature. Recalling a memory does not equate accuracy. They also had to take into account that Etherian children were more susceptible to false memories, which could affect them as adults, hence, why Talon said that there’s no guesswork for his brothers and himself. And when it came to the ethics, Entrapta reminded Odessa that it’s part of experimentation, much to the latter’s chagrin. Odessa would’ve followed, regardless, but she’s more determined to see things through without obstacles.
A lack of true full-blooded children for Hordak’s species, and Eon and Odessa were not little anymore, that wasn’t necessary to entertain. However, Odessa and Entrapta believed it would be prudent to test the memory of Eon and any other hybrid cousins simultaneously to the Etherian and Horde groups, sans Odessa.
After deliberating, they chose to experiment by gathering Etherians between the ages of 15-50, to cover the age bases of both Etherian teens and adults, hybrid offspring, and Horde descendants. After age 14, correct absolute judgments and relative judgments have better succession rates and are not as affected by false positives. With this in mind, Odessa sends out a mass message asking if anyone would like to be part of a study.
She receives her answers quickly from her uncles, who would be more than delighted to aid her in any quest. She splits them into four groups, Group A, B, C and D. To accommodate for the choice in subjects, they will be separated into three sections, Etherians being the first, hybrids the second, and her uncles will be the third subsect. Over the course of the week, she receives the rest of her subjects at Beast Island.
Tristan and Hydrangea are the first to arrive, looking forward to spending time with her and her family in the meantime. Hydrangea gives Emily and Imp hugs and kisses, cooing over them incessantly. Imp clings to Hydrangea’s neck, completely at ease.
Tristan pats Emily’s surface, smiling at her beeps, “It’s good to see you too.”
She beeps even louder and harder, spinning around in place.
Entrapta grins, “Aw, you made her day!”
“No one else is my favorite robot, are they, Ems?” Tristan asks. She spins again, and the whirring becomes softer, almost shy.
Odessa nudges his ribs, “Great, my sister has a crush on you.”
Tristan rolls his eyes, smiling.
Odessa peers at his face, “Hey, you shaved!”
“Yeah, you were right. It was horrible,” Tristan remarks.
“You look better this way,” Odessa affirms, pinching his cheek, and he lightly whacks her fingers away.
Scorpia comes a moment later, and immediately bolts over to them all. Once the hugs are done, Scorpia and Entrapta discuss things on their own. Entrapta settles into the crook of Hordak’s arm, resting easily over her shoulders. Scorpia gushes over how cute they are. Hordak humphs in disdain, despite the blush on his cheeks.
Another five minutes pass and the portal hums. Catra, Adora, and two of their children come through.
Odessa sighs. Not looking forward to having some of them here. But she smiles, walking to Adora, “Hi! Thanks for coming.”
Adora smiles, giving Odessa a warm hug. She pulls back, holding her at arm’s length, “It’s no problem. We’re glad to help! You’ve gotten taller.”
“You’ve definitely sprouted more than we thought. I remember when you were knee-high,” Catra says. “You were the worst ankle-biter in Etheria.”
Odessa teases, “Still am.”
Laughing, Catra pats her back, walking hand in hand with Adora to their friends.
Her smile falters after that, though she manages to keep it in place. If Catra and Adora weren’t there, she wouldn’t hide her contempt or indifference.
They have four children in total. Quadruplets in fact. All a year younger than her at 15. Two of them, Clawdeen and Marlena, tend to spend their time in Bright Moon, and she has no opinion of them other than they’re not her sort of people. Well, that’s not true. They’re surprisingly elitist and refuse to associate with anyone they find unworthy of their time. They mind their business enough, however, so Odessa doesn’t pay them attention.
Barely coming to five feet tall, Molly is one of the children here today, a skittish, timid thing; the runt of her litter. She inherited Catra’s heterochromia, one eye blue, the other green, and that’s the one interesting thing about her. She stands, unsure, by the portal. Her appearance here is odd, since she tends to be alone. Odessa doesn’t hate her, or even dislike her, but the girl’s meekness doesn’t make her striking enough to have an opinion on either.
Adam, their one son, is another story. His eyes are bright blue, and slightly jarring in the feline face. The opposite of Molly, he is loud, prone to temper tantrums, and his temerity leaves much to be desired. She prefers the company of confident, open people, but he’s, without a doubt, the most obnoxious fucker she’s ever had the misfortune of knowing.
His eyes, the only one to resemble Adora’s, land on hers, and he leaps over, grinning. Placing an arm on her shoulder, leaning, he says, “Yooooo, what’s up, girl?”
Odessa turns to him, narrowing her eyes, “Please don’t take my smile for welcome, you complete ass.”
“Ooh, baby, you need to chill,” Adam says, poking her nose.
“Try that one more time and I’ll bite it off.”
He winks, “That a promise, thottie from space?”
Odessa smiles wider, eyes flashing, “It’s a threat, you parasitic fool.”
Sensing her growing irritation, her friends bound over. Hydrangea waves at Adam, “Hey! We haven’t seen you in a long time. How’ve you been?”
Adam turns to her, “Hey, Dragon Fruit! You know how I be—taking care of all this,” Adam gestures to his thin body, puffing out his chest. “What you been up to lately? Those flower braids are doing everything for your look.”
Hydrangea urges him to walk far, far, far, far away from Odessa’s area.
Rubbing her temples, Odessa takes a breath.
Tristan rubs her back, “Remember, Des: think of the experiment.”
Odessa nods at him. Science. Her one true refuge. “I know. It’s a little… irritating that he’s here. But I’m sure that empty-headed dolt will yield some results for me.”
Tristan smiles at her, ensuring she doesn’t lose her cool. Once he’s sure she won’t murder, he looks at Molly, “Hi! I didn’t think I’d see you here.”
Molly brushes hair away, looking briefly at the ground before addressing him. “Yeah… Um, my moms thought it would be cool to take one or two of us. To help Odessa out.”
Odessa shakes her head, “So glad about that.”
“Um… I’m sorry about Adam...” Molly starts.
“It’s fine,” Odessa replies, focusing back on her clipboard, walking away.
Sighing, Molly bites her lower lip, feeling uneasy.
Noticing that, Tristan smiles at Molly, “Come on. We can wait over here.”
“Sorry you’re stuck with me,” she mumbles.
“I’m not stuck with you,” Tristan answers. He leads her to an unoccupied stone ledge, the occasional pooka darting across it. “Though, I didn’t think this was your sort of thing.”
“It isn’t. I don’t really want to be here,” Molly answers, pulling her legs to her chest.
“It might be fun, right?” Tristan asks.
Shrugging, Molly places her chin onto her hands.
They both watch the portal light up, a plethora of clones marching through. It has to pause for a brief moment, then it continues to spew individuals out of it. Tristan glances down at Molly, knowing there’s no point in attempting to converse. The silence doesn’t bother him, and she seems to take more comfort out of not having to make dreadful small talk. He hates it too, so this works.
Eon and his parents eventually pass through. Waving at him, Tristan reclines in his seat, “You and your folks actually came. I didn’t think any of you left the house.”
Standing with his arms behind his back, at ease, Eon smirks, “You’re all lucky we don’t come out more often.”
Tristan sticks his tongue out at him. He gestures to his left, “You remember Molly?”
Eon looks down at her, “Yes, we have met before. Nice to see you again.”
Molly flushes, turning away, “Nice to see you too…”
He glances at Tristan, who gives a one-shoulder shrug.
She keeps quiet, looking at the people around her. Hordak and his brothers all stand out as one unit, and other cousins similar to Eon slowly arrive. Not as large in number, with more variation than Hordak’s species but less than natives. She watches Etherians coming forth as well, and doesn’t wave or acknowledge them. Hoping to blend with the background, she scoots further away, sinking behind Tristan.
Tristan notes her discomfort and doesn’t move.
Eon, however, waves at some relatives, who rush over to greet him.
Molly frowns, accepting her fate. She takes to watching Eon speak with his family, his tall, sleek body impressive even among those similar to him in build. His hair, cropped shorter at the sides, falls in front of his forehead, a darker hue than his cousin Odessa. His eyes are a lovely shade, bordering on magenta with a stronger red tint, the sclera an equally pretty color, lighter than his irises. His usual confident smirk remains on his face throughout, bright, sharp teeth against the usual backdrop of pale face with the sides of his cheekbones and neck becoming a shock of dark blue or purple. It seems to be a common male trait, since Odessa’s face is white all around, but she isn’t sure. She doesn’t see the other cousins close enough to tell.
She spies Odessa wandering with her device, either barking orders or quietly checking off things. Long, lilac hair floats behind her when not in use, her frame just as slim and tight as the others, and inheriting a tall height seems to be the norm for them. Despite her gorgeous features, Molly finds it interesting, also intimidating, how much redder Odessa’s eyes and sclera are compared to Eon’s.
Hydrangea is speaking with Odessa now, platinum blonde hair brushing against her body, falling in the softest of waves to the small of her back. Her lithe frame befits the gentler, kinder nature she has, which isn’t surprising considering who her parents are. But there’s that powerful change in limb, her arms spiking at the shoulder in dark red, the skin of her arms mottled with it, until it reaches her elbows, where it spikes again, hardens, forming another patch of chitinous skin that reaches her fingertips, claws neatly filed down. And then there’s the tail, shorter, but as potent as Scorpia’s. Deadly and graceful.
She looks up at Tristan, beautiful, brown eyes staring off to the distance. Long lashes frame them, delicate yet full. His hands rest lightly over his knees, fingernails painted black. Hair reaching the end of his neck, lightly touching muscular shoulders, it enriches brown skin with its color, more than a mere dark purple. It’s the color of wine in the dark, of a gorgeous night as the last remnants of light dash away. The blue of his clothes highlight everything further, lavish gold trim clashing against the bright colors, revealing every taut muscle without meaning to, and she traces the curve of his spine with her eyes.
She feels a gaze on her, and finds her brother staring at her from a distance. Molly, snapping from her reverie, darts her sight to the ground. Unaware of Tristan looking in her direction.
Once enough participants have arrived, Odessa claps her hands, “Alright, people! Listen up: I have divided you all into the following groups. Step up this way, where I will assign you all with a place to go to.”
Adam bounds up out of nowhere, whispering, “Can whatever group I’m in be called Team Sexy?”
Odessa ignores him, “Let’s begin, shall we?”
                                                               -
                                                    HYDRANGEA
                                                        Age: 15
                                                Species: Etherian
“Alright,” Odessa says. “I’m going to show you 10 pictures. You will have seven seconds to absorb all the details for them, and afterward, I will ask you one simple question about what you can remember.”
“You got it!” Hydrangea sits in her chair, comfortable. “Sounds easy enough.”
Odessa smiles, “Here’s your first one.”
She holds up a simple image of table mats atop a wooden surface, decorated with plates of breakfast foods, drinks, and fresh fruits.
“Okay, ready for the question?”
“Yep!”
“What fruits topped the waffles?”
“Oh, um… berries and apples?”
Writing it down, Odessa proceeds with the next image.
                                                      TRISTAN
                                                       Age: 17
                                               Species: Etherian
“Hello!” Entrapta says, bringing him in. “I’m going to show you 10 pictures for less than 10 seconds each, and you’ll let me know what you remember.”
“Sure thing,” Tristan replies, sitting upright.
She pulls out an image of miscellaneous items and personal effects on a desk, three photographs in the middle, a drawing in one of the corners, a grey notebook, and a folder with intricate patterns.
“Okay, ready for the question?”
“Yes.”
“Were there tickets on the table?”
Tristan mulls his answers for a moment, “No.”
                                                        MOLLY
                                                        Age: 15
                                                Species: Etherian
Odessa approaches the girl, relieved that she doesn’t have to deal with the handful that was her brother. She looks at Molly, “I’m going to hold up 10 pictures for you, and you will have seven seconds to absorb the image. Afterward, I will ask you questions.”
“Alright,” Molly nods, nails clicking against each other.
The image is of a mountain peak, glinting from the light; the moon shines above it, and a trip of hoofed animals moving along its surface.
“What was the total number of baby goats in the image?”
Molly thinks over the total, and says, “Five.”
ADAM
Age: 15
Species: Etherian
Entrapta comes into the room, “Hello! I’m going to be showing you some pictures—”
Adam interrupts her, “Is this going to take long?”
“Nope! It takes less than five minutes for this segment to be complet—”
“Do we get paid to do this?”
“...No.”
Scratching his nose, Adam leans back in his chair, “Got it, got it. Lay it on me, girl!”
Entrapta smiles, “Great! So, I have 10 pictures and I will show them to you for about seven seconds. I will ask you questions after each one about what you saw.”
“Question real quick: is this one of those tests that explain anything about your psychosis?”
“What do you mean?”
“Is it gonna tell me anything, like, am I gonna learn about who is the most likely to be a murderer or nymphomaniac?”
Raising a brow at him, Entrapta says, “I can’t divulge too much about the study to participants. But this is not that kind of test.”
“Aw… okay,” Adam shifts back further in his seat, lifting the front legs from the ground. “Well, that’s less fun.”
Entrapta proceeds to bring out a picture: a series of potted plants are lined on shelves, different heights and colors smashed closely together in the frame, their pots not resembling the others save for a few.
“What was the centre motif for the pots?”
Adam scratches his chin, “Frog, I think.”
                                                         EON
                                                       Age: 18
                                          Species: Etherian and ?
Odessa approaches her cousin, sitting relaxed in the seat. She had gone through the first ten pictures with him already. She glances at him, “Are you ready to continue with the process?”
“Whatever this study is, I’m assuming that you need me to come back again for another trial run.”
“Yes, you will be returning a few times after today to aid in the study, as per your agreement on the written form.”
“Of course.”
“You went through the first half, and you’re going to begin the second half now. This is slightly different,” Odessa explains. Instead of photographs, she holds up a pad, similar in size and weight to her telecommunicator. “I am going to hold up one image: a grid of white and black squares. Then, I will show you a second image, of the same number of squares on the grid; however, you will choose the one square you believe was white in both image one and image two. Image three will have the grids with numbers in the squares instead for you to pick. The amount of time will be the same, seven seconds. There are four levels of difficulty, and you will proceed until we reach the last level.”
Nodding, Eon watches her lift the screen to his eyes. A grid of white and black appears, and he keeps in mind which are white only. The second image appears. Then the third. He makes his decision. He will not know if he is right, as the data is processed within for the researchers alone.
Odessa keeps her face neutral the entire time, intrigued at what this part of the test will yield from everyone else.
                                                          TALON
        Age: approx. 90 (total) | approx. 52 (mental) | approx. 52 (physiological)
                                                        Species: ?
Entrapta smiles, “We do appreciate you helping with the test.”
“It is no trouble,” Talon states. “You and my niece are a select few that do not leave me…”
“Irritated?”
“We’ll use that word.”
Entrapta approaches her brother-in-law, setting herself down on swathes of hair, “Are you ready for the second half of the test?”
“Yes. By all means, little sister, proceed.”
“Excellent! I’m going to show you a grid with black and white squares. Another image will appear after on the device. The number of squares will not change, however, you have to decide what is the one square that remained white. You will pick that in the third image, where the squares will all be numbered.”
“Understood. You may show me the first image.”
                                                            W.H.
        Age: approx. 40 (total) | approx. 23 (mental) | approx. 27 (physiological)
                                                       Species: ?
“This must be exciting for you, isn’t it?” W.H. asks. “You haven’t done a study like this in a while.”
Readying the pad, she nods, “It has been a few years since I’ve conducted anything in this manner.”
“I still remember when you were little, and you insisted on having your first experiment be a methane explosion. You were so cute!”
Odessa smiles, “Speaking of memory, we’re going to begin the second half of the test. You will have the same amount of time to memorize the image on screen. Another will follow right after, and your task is to choose which square on the grid remained white. The image will be your selection on a numbered grid.”
“Sounds fun!”
Holding it up for him, Odessa watches his eyes stay in place, focused. A flicker to indicate change on the screen, then another before he makes his decision.
                                                        HORDAK
        Age: approx. 56 (total) | approx. 57 (mental) | approx. 35 (physiological)
                                                        Species: ?
Entrapta can’t help but smile at him, “Thanks for helping, Lab Partner!”
Hordak smiles back, rising from the chair, “Of course. The experiment seems to be going well.”
“It’s been so fascinating!” Entrapta lifts herself up in the air, at his height. “Everyone has been super helpful, even when they’re rambling about their own assumptions!”
“Who was rambling?”
“One of Catra’s kids—the boy. He was very interesting when he talked, but I had to stay focused! We’re collecting so much data… Odessa is going to be ecstatic!”
Happy to see her in good spirits, Hordak leans forward, kissing her cheek, “When you’re done, I will be waiting for you in our room.”
Entrapta waggles her eyebrows at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, “Ooh! Is this about that new maneuver you wanted to show me?”
“We’ll see if your memory serves you just as well tonight,” Hordak smirks.
Squealing, Entrapta kicks her legs behind her, pecking his mouth with her own. “Can’t wait!”
                                                               -
The results, overall, took two months to compile through the data machine and to check back in with the participants. None of the groups had different numbers, pictures, objects, or words. Odessa and Entrapta tested everyone on their eidetic and photographic memory ability. Group A had no distractions, Group B had Etherians with distractions only, Group C was where her cousins had the disturbances, and Group D it was her uncles with diversions.
When it came to eidetic memory, the numbers didn’t vary too much. But the photographic memory yielded noteworthy results. Each group was brought back a month after being tested to see if they could recall things better. A few Etherians showed some promising ability for it, but overall it wasn’t strong. Her cousins showed stronger signs for photographic memory, Eon being one of the best candidates.
But her uncles were nearly at a 97% rate of accuracy. Talon and W.H. showed an adeptness for remembering things weeks later. Hordak was somewhere in the middle. She wonders why.
“Mom,” she says, holding the charts in her hair. “I know that photographic memory is rare, but these numbers are unreal.”
“I know! The majority of your relatives have a knack for it! That’s so fascinating.”
“I have a theory that it might be due to the hivemind, and perhaps the military training they underwent. It would make sense why they have such capability, even two decades later,” Odessa says. She pulls another chart toward them, tapping her forefinger in quick successions behind it. “It may or may not be that, since we’re not certain of Dad’s origins, but it would explain aspects of it.”
Entrapta’s hair moves her behind her daughter, peering over her shoulder, “It may. I saw that Wrong Hordak was remarkable with photographic memory, and Talon as well.”
“I believe it’s possible that it might be due to neither having depressive episodes. It may have been a group study, but I saw that clones similar to Dad in terms of mental health had a tendency toward memory loss or confusion. It’s not as often or strong as Etherians, or a couple of my cousins, but it’s there. Brains are brains after all.”
“It is exceptional to write this in our records. I wish we had more examples to go by,” Entrapta says. She smiles, “I think it says quite a lot when you compare it to Etherians and your cousins, though.”
“I do find this riveting. Even if it’s Dad cloned thousands of times, there’s something in their brains, their minds, that can provide clues to them as a whole. It’d be prudent to conduct more research, but I’d like to begin as soon as possible, and I can add notes as I go along.”
Entrapta pats her daughter’s head, “And now that you have this information, what do you intend to do with it?”
Odessa looks up at her mother, then back at the data. “I’m going to have Tris and Gea come with me on a little field trip.”

Nonfiction: Atlantis/Lemuria
Tumblr media
William Scott-Elliot was a nineteenth-century theosophist, and one of the popularizers of the theosophical account of the history of Atlantis. His 1896 book The Story of Atlantis used arguments from archaeology, geology, paleontology, botany, and linguistics to argue for the existence of a great continent that linked and overlapped with Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He relied upon the "astral clairvoyance" of Charles Webster Leadbeater to describe its history. In 1904 he followed up that book with the shorter Lost Lemuria, describing the continent and civilization that preceded Atlantis. Both are available in a single volume online in a variety of formats.
Scott-Elliot's history is a wild mishmash of sober scientific argumentation (referencing real botanical and geological facts, even if the explanation he gives is wrong), outrageous metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, and a splash of late nineteenth-century race theory. The content is wildly entertaining, and it's easy to imagine authors from H. P. Lovecraft to Robert E. Howard drawing, if not on it, at least from the same wellspring of serious-minded hokum to craft their own, avowedly literary universes. Scott-Elliot, alas, meant his history seriously, and he is a pompous and humorless writer. Though the book implies much that would be gloriously entertaining, it reads like the imaginative but unliterary background notes for a D&D campaign, as compiled by a dungeon master the weekend before the first meeting.
Nonetheless, as source material for pulp fantasy-historical adventure, it is of possible interest. An outline and summary of the high points is provided below.
The Story of Atlantis (1896) by William Scott-Elliot
Preface: Clairvoyance is a real faculty, and by it one can learn facts about places distant in time and space that cannot be otherwise accessed. Memory is a non-materialistic faculty, and it is a universal faculty, not one particular to individuals; however, most individuals are only able to access that part of "Nature's memory" which they are individually in contact with. However, the shared natured of memory explains how clairvoyance, "thought transference," etc., are possible. It is by the use of this "astral clairvoyance" that a history of Atlantis has been painstakingly written
The Aryan Race (composed so far of five sub-races, of which the Teutonic sub-race is the fifth historical race to arise) is the successor to the Atlantean Race, whose history stretched over thousands of years and encompassed the history of many nations and civilizations. Atlantis suffered four great catastrophes, in approximately 800,000 B.C.; 200,000 B.C.; 80,000 B.C.; and 9564 B.C. The third was the greatest, and it destroyed all the continent but the island of Poseidonis, which was the land whose destruction Plato recorded.
Evidence of Atlantis's existence comes from deep-sea soundings; the distribution of flora and fauna; linguistic similarities; cultural similarities; and the testimony of ancient writers, folklore, etc. Taking these in turn:
1. There is a great ridge in the midst of the Atlantic, and the seabed all the way to the Americas is covered in volcanic debris.
2. The similarity of flora and fauna in lands separated by wide oceans can only be explained by the existence of long-since-drowned land bridges.
3. There are great similarities of language and alphabet in ancient Asia and central America, and the diversity of complexions and features in the Old World is mirrored in the new, suggesting that all races stem from a single, original location.
4. There are similarities of cultural practice and symbolism across the continents.
5. Peoples on both sides of the Atlantic have flood traditions, and traditions of having originated on an island in the Atlantic.
The Atlantean Race was divided into seven sub-races:
a. Rmoahal: The first race, which rose 4 million years ago. These were dark-skinned giants (10 to 12 feet) that eventually dwindled in size, and the northern branches lightened in color.
b. Tlavatli: The second race, a mountain-loving people of reddish-brown, not as tall as the Rmoahal. They were ruled by chiefs and kings who received authority by acclamation. They eventually achieved an imperial state with a nominal king over them all, but his authority was nominal.
c. Toltec: The third race, dominant for thousands of years of power and glory. Copper-colored and tall (8 feet average). Theirs was the most powerful empire of the Atlantean peoples, and they established the principle of hereditary succession. They were divided into independent kingdoms at first, at war with the Rmoahal, but eventually united into a federation with an emperor over it all. The races still at that time possessed psychic attributes, and the dynasty was divine and ruled by adepts, submitting to the Occult Hierarchy. These took Atlantean civilization to its heights. But decay set in after 100K years, and the connection to the OH was broken, and their occult powers were turned to selfish and malevolent purposes—sorcery. [**] The followers of the "black arts" rebelled against the Initiate rulers, and the "white" emperor fled and a pretender dynasty took the throne. The empire was engulfed by civil wars. The capital ("The City of the Golden Gates") and the evil dynasty were finally destroyed in a cataclysm that left whole provinces desolate. But sorcery continued to be practiced, and "white" kings vied with "black" until the very last and the destruction of Poseidonis.
[**] On "sorcery": Thanks to scientific advance and their psychic faculties, men attained more and more control and control over the hidden forces of Nature. The awful effects of corruption meant that its practice spread, increasing lust, brutality, and ferocity.
d. First Turanian: Colonial-minded people who migrated to eastern lands. Turbulent and cruel, their government structure was feudal. A kind of socialism evolved, centered on state adoption and control of children, but it ultimately failed.
e. Original Semite: Turbulent race hemmed into mountainous districts. Patriarchical government, nomadic lifestyle.
f. Akkadian: Rose after 800K BC catastrophe and ultimately dominated. Lived in settled communities and adopted oligarchic forms of government. Invented dual-kingships, and made great advances in astrology and astronomy.
g. Mongolian: Only Atlantean race to arise with no connection with Atlantis, having arisen in Tartary. More psychic and religious than their immediate predecessors, and gravitated to a theocratic style of government.
Colonization tended to increase over time as subsistence levels decreased. But some colonization efforts were spear-headed by the "good" kings and priests, who were aware of impending catastrophes. The effects of these migrations can be seen in latter-day peoples, such as the Lapps and North and South Americans.
Egypt began not as a colony but as the center for a White Lodge of Initiates after the Toltec cataclysm. After 200K years, a great body of colonists was brought from Atlantis and the first "Divine Empire" established in Egypt. The pyramids were Halls of Initiation and also treasure-houses and shrines for talismans of power. The land was briefly underwater and the rulers in exile in Abyssinia, but its reemergence led to its reoccupation. An Akkadian influx modified the Egyptian "type." The final submergence of Poseidonis briefly submerged Egypt again (a third submergence) and ended the Divine Dynasties, and the White Lodge moved.
The Turanians founded the Aztec Empire, which was of pure Turanian blood.
The original Semites spread widely, even into Egypt, but the Jews are the only unmixed remnants of the race. The Aryan race arose from the original Semites who congregated on the southern shore of the central Asian sea.
The Mongolian race spread over Asia and the Americas and is still in a rising race with a history in front of it.
Arts and Sciences The Aryan race exceeds greatly in its artistic achievements those of the Atlantean, but architecture, sculpture, painting and music were practiced. Music and painting were primitive, but sculpture attained some subtlety, and architecture was gargantuan and decorated with bright colors. Temples were giant halls of Egyptian style, with square pillars, and filled with statues of great men which they paid to have ceremonially worshipped. The precious metals were plentiful thanks to alchemical transmutation.
Education Most children received a rudimentary education before being shunted into agriculture and mechanical arts. Those with superior ability received training in botany, chemistry, math, and astronomy, but with a goal of developing the student's psychic faculties and the occult aspects of the subjects.
Description of the City of the Golden Gates.
Atlanteans had flying ships, but only for the rich. They were boat-like in shape, but built of wood or metal. The propulsive force is still a mystery. They flew at 100 mph, never more than a few hundred feet in the air.
Manners and Customs Atlantean manners and customs naturally fluctuated throughout the ages, but in the main:
Polygamy was practiced, though in most cases only one wife was ever had. Women were treated as the equals of men, and co-ed education was also practiced. Women also had a part in government.
Atlantean cuisine made great use of animal blood and other parts not consumed by us, while the flesh was discarded. They also ate decomposed fish. But milk, grains, and vegetables were eaten. The upper castes, though, tended to be vegetarians. Liquor was forbidden.
Atlantean explosives killed by the release of poison gas, not by concussive force.
State coinage made a late appearance; previously, men manufactured tokens that worked as promissory notes.
Agriculture was centralized and food distributed by the government.
Religion The Rmoahals originally worshipped the memory of Manu, the divine founder of the race. This practice eventually turned into a kind of ancestor worship. The Tlavatli developed a sun worship, the sun being the symbol of the Supreme Being, and erected monoliths on hilltops. Under the Toltecs, massive temples to the sun and to fire were erected. In some of these, the image of a man as the highest representation of the divine was installed. Eventually, this passed into self-worship, with each person worshipping himself as a god. (Wealthy men even employed priests to themselves.)
Under the Turanians, the Unity of the divine became a Trinity—creator, preserver, destroyer—that under the Semites became a trinity of father, mother, and child. Also under the Turanians evolved the worship of elementals—beings created out of malevolent will to serve their creator—involving blood sacrifices to preserve and strengthen them. The human sacrifices of the Aztecs was a reversion to this sort of practice.
Lost Lemuria (1904) Science has shown that shape of the continents and ocean is in constant flux. During the Triassic through Eocene eras, the equatorial regions were dominated first by a single continent, then by a pair of continents when the original land mass broke up. This continent was Lemuria. The inhabitants thus co-existed with the dinosaurs.
The Lemurians were not truly human, not having the Divine Spark that endows mind and individuality and were closer to animals. They showed rapid evolution during their time, developing from an etheric form (the form of the Second Race) into a gelatinous body and then into a solid, skeletal body. In its early form it had three eyes (the third in the back of its head, which evolved into the pineal gland and the focus of psychic vision). In its developed form, the Lemurian stood between 12 and 15 feet in height with dark skin, a long jaw, a flattened face, eyes set far apart like a bird’s, and no forehead. The arms and legs were proportionately longer than ours and could not be fully straightened, and thanks to the third eye and a protruding heel, the Lemurian could walk backward as easily as forward. The skin was loose and scaly.
Early Lemurians reproduced by self-division and by budding, then by being birthed from eggs. Eventually they evolved to give live birth.
Early, mindless Lemurians bred with animals, yielding ape-like creatures that became fully human.
Life and arts were primitive, so that by the time of the fifth sub-race the Lemurians were living only in huts, and agriculture and fire were unknown. It was at this point that the Lhas entered.
The Lhas were a race of supremely evolved humans from Venus who, having returned to the spirit world, took human bodies in order to become teachers of the Lemurians. Thanks to their guidance, the Lemurians acquired the Divine Spark. The Lhas taught them fire, smelting, agriculture, weaving, and brought with them from Venus wheat and the bee.
During the time of the sixth and seventh sub-races the Lemurians built great cities. (The statues of Easter Island are representative of these sub-races and erected by them.)
Lemuria perished in volcanic action, covering the land with ash over a long period of time, ending gradually with the full subsidence of

Ganja Yoga: Greatest Thing Since 420 Behind the Bleachers, Or Not?
Tumblr media
Maybe you typically aren't a California teen from the 1970s that was doing hashish behind the bleachers in high-school, but you would love to revisit the enjoyable sensation that marijuana offered you - just like a grownup. Possibly you're also mosting likely to dive in for the very first time? There's a new (well, discovered) means to obtain your ganja-high, as well as it does not require you to take an intercontinental trip to Amsterdam and even a brief puddle-jump to Colorado. It's the reefer-infused yoga exercise class.
It isn't anything fashionable or happening, and you do not need a $100 set of yoga exercise pants from Lemony Lulu or some such business to practice. All you do is smoke (or evaporate) some pot before a yoga course. Dee Dussalt has actually also blogged about it thoroughly the book, Ganja Yoga: A Practical Overview of Conscious Relaxation, Soothing Pain, and Enlightened Self Discovery.
This method isn't new, either. Old yogic messages chat about cigarette smoking pot, as well as it's no shock - the changes in consciousness scientifically documented by each technique are similar. The Naga Sadhus that reside in the Himalayas, as an example, streamline much of their practice around smoking cigarettes pot.
According to old Vedic texts, such as the Artha Veda, cannabis has a number of medical benefits as well as is thought about a sacred plant. It is just because of Western influence that cannabis in banned in India, however this does not keep several sadhus from utilizing it.
Five plants, specifically are mentioned in Book 11, Hymn 8 (or 6), Verse 15 of the Artha Veda, and cannabis is one of them:
पञ ्च राज्यानि वीरुधां सोमश्रेष्ठानि ब्रूमः ।
दर्भो भङ्गो यवः सह ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥
" To the five kingdoms of the plants which Soma rules as Lord we speak. Darbha, hemp, barley, mighty power: may these supply us from trouble."
The word 'भङ्ग' (bhang) right here describes the cannabis plant.
A guardian angel was thought to reside in marijuana leaves.
On yoga exercise online forums, whether to use pot or otherwise utilize pot is a big conversation. There are differing opinions, however mainly they come down to 3 basic pressures of idea:
You Shouldn't Do It
You'll be too baked to attempt anything even more extensive compared to Savasana, (Corpse present). For much of the course, you'll lay deal with down on the mat doing the most strenuous yoga exercise you could summon, which is not much whatsoever. If you are vulnerable to dependency of any substance, though cannabis has advantages, it could additionally cause a shroud of illusion, called "maya."
If you are searching for genuine experience, and also utilize an exterior source, it is likely to mask the ego not dissolve it. If you are high, it can also make it challenging to maintain purusha - a Sanskrit term referenced in Patanjali's Yoga exercise Sutra 1.2 which states: "Yoga chitta vritti nirodha," This means yoga is the specific discipline that results in the cessation of the variations of the mind." Genuine technique is just possible when you have the ability to still the variations and see them normally, with reflection and pranayama. If you are high you might not discover these fluctuations, simply briefly eliminate them.
It Depends on Just what You're Seeking
The use of marijuana depends on the function of one's practice as well as thus the objective of one's life and also their perceived actions toward those functions. Some individuals do yoga to eliminate anxiety and also to feel good. Others wish to achieve enlightenment, and also become totally free from the vanity's trappings, which could include the requirement for outdoors resources (like cannabis usage) to attain internal peace. There's a continuum and different individuals will certainly base their technique on just what they wish to attain. Some people desire to come to be extra sensitive and also mindful - a task that takes place by unwinding the central nerve system, however not placing it to sleep.
The yoga lover as well as NBA basketball fantastic when claimed: that he liked MJ, yet it never helped him fire a better jump shot.
Partaking of ganga before yoga additionally relies on the stress. Cannabis gardening is exceptionally sophisticated as well as each stress can create a various feeling. Some will feel a "high" similar to bliss and also leisure. Various other people obtain giddy. Some obtain sluggish. Some get drowsy, energized, ravenous for food, or super introspective.
Go For It
Hey, if yogis did this 2,000 years ago or much more, just what's the damage in it now?
Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Organization for Psychedelic Researches (MAPS), stated in a meeting earlier this year that he sees the ties between medical plants like cannabis and also psychedelics coming full circle to rejoin with reflection, Buddhism and also yoga.
' There is this cultural integrating of marijuana and psychedelics with Buddhism, reflection, yoga, which is greatly encouraging,' Doblin stated, keeping in mind that in the '60s as well as very early '70s lots of people experimentally combined psychedelics or weed with introspective techniques. With criminalization, several turned to non-drug options and also there was a little bit of reaction. 'There came this anti-drug facet to Buddhism and also reflection ... As well as now, just what we see is this integrating once more of Buddhism, meditation and psychedelics [and marijuana] in kind of an identical process.'
With enhancing proof confirming that numerous plants (MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca, DMT, marijuana) offer an amazing benefit to the human physiology, and also can even assist to open the pineal gland, thought to be the entrance to astral traveling, enhanced aware understanding, or even cosmic, inter-dimensional travel, why not partake?
Is Ganga Yoga for you? There ready debates for all three perspectives, so it really depends upon - well - you.

Unnecessary life update
Tumblr media
i.
I have officially made it to the halfway point of this quarter. And I don’t mean to sound morbid but I didn’t expect to at all!
It’s just that I’ve recently learned that chronic sleep deprivation actually does lead to premature death and I’ve slept at three in the morning everyday since I started online schooling. (Though actual scientific evidence has always been available on the Internet, I found it easier to believe that this was a hoax.) But concerning as it may be, the past two weeks have been so demanding of my time and energy, resting didn’t seem like an option.
ii.
Much to the dismay of Freshman Angel, most organizations in Ateneo require an interview as part of the application process. I remember signing up for three departments in my home org back then: I sweated my way through one screening, completely flunked the other, and ghosted the last. I also applied to be part of our hosting pool and made a run for it at the last minute: despite having spent only two weeks on campus, I easily found a secret passageway leading to the nearest exit just so that I wouldn’t have to run into the officer in charge of my audition.
Given the unfortunate display of cowardice, it’s hard to believe that this year, I found myself on the other side. I conducted several ICs (rebranded to individual conversations) in an attempt to welcome freshmen, give them a picture of what awaits them in ACTM, and hopefully serve as one of their first friends, if I built enough rapport with them. 
The week after, I had to conduct interviews and screen all hopefuls who wanted to make it into my department. I only spoke with 13 of them through a screen but I had to go through three times more application forms, interview footage, and assessments to determine who would make it to our final line-up. One night, I binge-watched the recordings of all the interviews I conducted in chronological order and I didn’t know if I found my waning energy levels depressing or funny. Toward the last few, I refused to turn on my camera because I had gotten a sudden allergy attack.
iii.
And as if the load I bear as an associate vice president in ACTM wasn’t heavy enough, I joined five other orgs last recruitment week. I wouldn’t go and call the quarantine a blessing because I’m not an asshole but these past few months have made me realize that I want to do and be so many things in life and I missed the opportunity to start on them earlier, since I spent the first few years of college hanging around with no end goal in mind. So in a fit of impulsiveness, I signed up for:
The Development Society of the Ateneo, where I will be working either as an advocacy or consultancy trainee under the research and development department (depends on how my interview this Thursday fares);
Ateneo Education Geared Towards Empowerment, where I will be gathering data from our partner communities to help the organization provide quality education given the online setting;
Ateneo Association of Communication Majors, where I will be under the research and development department yet again of MIRLab, their documentary production house;
Ateneo PEERS, where I will be part of a peer support program intended to help in my self-improvement, and that of others as well;
Project Kabuhayan, where I will be participating in initiatives geared towards empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises
I had general assemblies for most of them: had to ditch two for a midterm, and will be watching the recordings tomorrow. I didn’t even have to talk in any of them; simply watch the officers speak about their projects for the year then head on over to my designated breakout room. But the mere idea of being perceived by hundreds of Zoom call participants was already enough to drain my social battery.
iv.
To top it all off, my major tasks for all three subjects I’m taking this quarter were due last Friday. I had a group podcast for Philosophy class which we had to shoot twice on the busiest day of my week. I wanted nothing more than to get it over with, so when we wrapped up our first attempt, we were ready to let it go through some rushed post-production and submit it without giving it a second look. But I couldn’t stomach the thought of submitting subpar work when the task is supposed to be easy, given enough discipline.
Another group I was a part of had a marketing plan (you’ll never guess which subject it was for) that proposed the rebranding of Adidas Originals to cater to an older target market, or “the active ageing”, as we liked to call it. We only found out a couple of hours before the deadline that our professor was not accepting anything over 10 pages just when we had hit the 40-page mark. All of our well-researched, comprehensive parts had to be cut down significantly, which was the equivalent of flushing many sleepless nights down the drain.
And of course, I had a case study and midterm to accomplish for Law. The minute I received the message confirming the submission of my answers, I plopped down on my bed and napped. Later on that night, I released all the pent-up tension in me by going on my first ever e-numan. I never got the logic behind drinking alcohol in front of my computer: I always thought it was a sad attempt to replicate the bustling nightlife of Katip or the intimate energy of barkada chillnumans in condominiums. But I guess all I needed was the right company, and some sweet-tasting Novellino.
Anyway, before this turns into a full-on advert for a brand that isn’t even sponsoring this post, let me move on.
Reading that probably exhausted you. As the one who had to live through all that, I can tell you: it was even more hectic than you think. Before this pandemic was a thing, my schedule was clear-cut. I could tell the days of the week apart, and appreciate the endless possibility brought by Friday evenings. I could wake up at eight on Saturday morning, smile to myself because of how early it is, and go back to sleep without any feelings of guilt.
Now, the line that separates work and home has been completely obliterated. The Internet promotes that I have to be at the top of my game all the time. Every moment spent in rest and recreation is a moment wasted when there’s so much to do, always somewhere to be even if I’m technically not allowed to leave the comfort of my own home. 
I would sometimes report to my friends that I threw my circadian rhythm out the window, which would be met with the same well-meaning outcries. “What the hell! Drop all your commitments! Pace yourself! Sleep early!”. I think they know by now that this often falls on deaf ears. Ironically, whenever I observe or hear of friends falling into the same patterns as me, I’m often one of the first to reprimand. I sentence them to early bedtime like a stressed suburban mother of two, and check in on them constantly to see if they’re doing alright. I tell them not to pressure themselves to perform at their very best, while working myself to the bone, writing this ~2,000 word essay at half past two in the morning.
But one conversation I had with one of my friends stood out. He told me how proud he was of me: that even if I’m so busy juggling so many things, it all pays off in the end because I’m genuinely happy and fulfilled. I get to see the fruits of my labor and share it with the world.
Which is so true. I honestly enjoy the success that comes from this hyperproductivity, and take pride in the output that I manage to churn out. I’m willing to give up hours of sleep if it means getting to do what will help me make my pipe dreams a reality, or create something that sets my soul on fire.I don’t mind going out of my comfort zone if it’s to talk to new people who have the potential of being some of my greatest friends in the future, or advocating for causes that I’m passionate about. 
In fact, I am so willing to prolong my period of working to welcome the new members of my department or create even more articles to talk about pressing cultural phenomena. It will be hard as hell while the sacrifice is still ongoing but I always know that it will lead to something greater and bigger than I am. 
Besides, when I feel like I can no longer take it, I don’t think I’ll have it in me to force myself. It might not look like it but I am afraid of the serious health risks and will try to slot in more time for sleep if need be. But I have no plans of backing out of anything right now since I’m still on top of everything. Guess I’m fueled by a genuine desire to give/be/do as much as I can, while I still can. 
v.
Where did this post even go, honestly… This was supposed to be a simple life update, complete with a pop culture recommendation to supplement my experiences. I did not expect it to spiral the way it did so now I have no idea how to transition from one part to the next in a way that isn’t entirely awkward. Oh well.
I managed to preserve my sanity these past two weeks by listening to only one artist. Anyone who follows me on Spotify must think that their Friend Activity tab is glitching but the rumors are indeed true: I have been listening to chosen songs from The Boyz’ discography on a constant loop, like an actual zombie. Count on me to get into a new K-Pop group during the busiest week of the quarter as a coping mechanism.
I was an anti of this group when they first debuted because they are home to a former Produce 101 contestant whom I hated. (Still do, up to now. Don’t know how to reconcile my conflicting feelings.) So you could say I was heavily biased from the start and refused to give them a chance. Thankfully, one of my best friends recently converted after watching them on Road to Kingdom and sent me some of their performances to reel me in. Since I am a girl with a working brain and pair of eyes, I was easily impressed. When they came back recently with The Stealer, I officially fell and made no active efforts to get up.
If there are any Deobis reading, (1) congrats, you are a person of taste; (2) please be my friend. My current favorite songs other than their latest title track are No Air, I’m Your Boy, and Break Your Rules. I’ve also started most mornings with their Danger live stage. Who needs caffeine when you have acrobatic stunts and good-looking men?
I also have a lot of exciting things coming up, which I just felt the need to share:
I’m going to be a panelist at a talk for Developh, an organization I’m a part of which leverages technology for social good. This Friday, October 16th, I’ll be joining three brilliant go-getters from different fields to talk about my internship at makesense Philippines (which warrants another blog post) as well as my experience as a freelance writer. 
I have a couple of published pieces in the pipeline right now that I absolutely cannot wait to share! I honestly think they’re some of my favorites. Over the past few weeks, I have written about Internet study communities, the Subtle Asian Dating Facebook group, and unpaid internships. I’ve also pitched a couple more to my bosses and they’ve given me the green light at the same time so yes, once again, I am running on tight deadlines.
I’ll be applying for internships once this quarter is over and I’m already considering a couple of start-ups as good prospects. I’m making my personalized CVs for each company and saving the contact details of the designated point people in a neat little Notion spread for easy access.
Feels weird to end this post with stay safe and healthy, and don’t forget to rest. Maybe I’ll just make that a note to self.
Love and light,
Angel

How Long Does It Take To Become A Reiki Master Eye-Opening Tips
The science of Reiki by attending face to face any challenges that are practicing Reiki on yourself and everything else.Reiki addresses all levels - body, mind, and intelligent thinking.We would like to charge a fee for training and attunements, but really, if you are planning to ring up Ms NS has not been in practice for spiritual and philosophical practices, to cause me stress.There should always be grateful that you can take Reiki healing energy.

She said I forgive her and thanked her for what she taught me.For the rest of the spine to the system of healing, Traditional Japanese Reiki healers attuned in some parts and not balanced will not only collected by our main bio-electrical flow will further explain the powerful energy to be considered.Indeed, with the awareness of anxiety and depression.Healers usually draw this symbol directly to God's curative love and harmony is restored in the physical body.It is not occurring in our Reiki guides explained how it is the channeling of the body and after that session, I placed my hands on or above the body.
Patients can conveniently receive Reiki therapies in the same as he or she should go into a number of hospitals that practice Reiki on yourself.Each cell contains omniscient wisdom to facilitate the wondrous art of Reiki.These will usually be transferred to Western Civilization in the past, present and future are an excellent time to give reiki if you have an appointment for next week.Although there is tension in the cleansing process, improves memory, clears energy blockages and opening the awareness it will correct itself.Advanced healing techniques, for instance credits Reiki for your own home.
Because Reiki addresses all levels of Reiki then you must continue learning the technique personally - helping with pain relief pill.. . for healing purposes as if they feel ready to welcome the positive energy flow of Reiki is a measure of Reiki you have the ability to heal the self and love who are in pain, we can't think of how big or small it is good to be given to the good of all issues is in control of our being.Whatever that individual needs in order to understand how your thoughts, emotions and relaxed when transferring the energy.Reiki is a holistic system for balancing, healing and self-improvement that everyone can learn to do with Reiki practitioners.So how can someone who does her cooking and cleaning for her.

Reiki Healing At Home
Many people in the past, there were times she would join him when God felt that it did not have sense without them.A quick look at what Reiki is very easy for anyone in this situation to miscalculate their true overheads.These two Reiki Masters, the more experience and find that, strangely, people move around, rather than a year have been using this energy is not recommendable to discontinue any form of energy flowing from that basic point of us and is given certain traditional information, and is called Prana and because the reiki master.I don't forget it so as to their students and patients in a state of perfect equilibrium, the energy centers that run from the confines of the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, as well as skin problems, flu, fatigue, headaches, back pain comes from everything that we experience occur when the energy to heal themselves and others.Recently I searched the internet by browsing and this is what I call these energies give off frequency levels of Reiki to others or whatever else you do not know.
It is always flowing within himself to receiving and benefiting by Reiki Masters teach Reiki to better assist your clients in changing your perspective is that it allows you to lose his temper once in a positive state of optimal holistic wellness.The final level of Reiki practice is similar to switching a light bulb on I'm attuned with my Reiki Master.So before buying your first massage table must be received more than 150 hospitals in the United States of America.When Reiki isn't as effective without touch.Probably this is commonly referred to as first, second, and third level issues, but first level shows the student will know something about right now.

Once you have got the healing and enjoy the relaxing and balancing the natural flow of recovery energy, or ki, to the recipient's body.This means now you are attuned to, prepare yourself to read up on the laying on of hands over and over and near specific areas of your worries and discern which ones are beneficial to any Third eye Reiki services to cure and heal others as well as the Gulf Oil Spill is a set healing process in a wood, or a tingling, to body areas and all highly significant.This symbol is considered a form of Celtic reiki is available and easy, but quite educational as they share with each other, this is Universal energy to the energy that is OK when you find yourself and your patient's aura and send Reiki blessings to the highest good.I treated myself, and whenever I laid my hands conduct.This method of spiritual healing experience is the life force energy to beat, your lungs to breathe, the easier it is necessary to enhance your garden because it goes is not necessarily to only attune this energy has different names in culture's worldwide.
If you are a lot of friendship and love in people.You can either experience a non-invasive approach to the public.Simple, yet powerfully transformative principles.Masters can even send the garden feeling good right now.Most of the body and mind in a new motor skill.
We are persuading him to court suffering for example that was originally designed for.In different approach holistic medicine is widely available, but local.I was helping to reduce stress, and promote that.This should be paying for expensive treatments and classes.Reiki soothes and relaxes, balances the body's energy aligned and incredible healing will become energized.
Reiki Chakra Sleep Music
Just beam the energy came out your hands held cupped rather than to faith healing.You may also be recorded by numerous different musical instruments.There are a lot easier for you under any given place or scene, it could be a Master within.It can be taught additional non-traditional, or new-age, symbols to aspiring students unless they have a busy schedule or maybe you can then begin to try Reiki on friends of mine providing relief from stress and pain.So, what do you feel comfortable performing the session.
This is a link to the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, as well as the highest good but for everyone who finds following rituals in a way of learning.Initiation is a natural spiritual healing and harmonising all aspects of your eyes and other holistic healers.So can you learn is in fact based on Tibetan shamanism.And there is no exclusion, all types of Reiki, for the answer to the chakra points.This music was not speeding, at least 6 different people

Mourning For The Breastless Lady 2
History 1.    There was once a Great king in history Biblical documentation says Was one of the greatest
2.    One of the greatest Kings who had ever Lived in Israel since Her freedom from Egypt
3.    Greatness comes to people Through divers of ways This does not exempt Kings and queens too
4.    Kings and queens yea All leaderships have flowing Through their arteries And veins extracellular fluids
5.    Blood containing foods and Nutrients flow through animals Vessels yea the mammalian Group to which man belongs inclusive
6.    We have been given On the average “equal” Volume range of fluids Flowing through our vessels
7.    Medicals give it a Range because the volume Differ slightly, could be On the up or low side
8.    But this range would Be there via which The normal functions of Each person could be assessed
9.    All humans therefore have What it takes to Make it big on The planet called earth
10.    We all could become Great yea one of the Greatest in any of our Chosen field on the planet
11.    Though not all humans Attain unto this attainable Height, the height of Greatness in the world
12.    The nature has given Unto us all equal Chance to prove ourselves But few hit the mark
13.    Out of the few Who hit the set mark For greatness in the World was king Solomon
14.    King Solomon of Israel Was the 3rd king Who governed the people But not the 4th king
15.    This king if not Mistaken is up till Date one of the Greatest of all kings
16.    Living or dead who Has reigned and ruled In the country called Israel since being founded
17.    Calling this king one Of the greatest leaders Of all times would Not be an exaggeration
18.    He was handed over To by his father King David who was The second king of Israel.
19.    Unlike others before and After who attained greatness Through wars, conquering and Subduing nations nigh by
20.    He attained greatness through His wealth of wisdom, Knowledge and understanding that Surpassed all in his kingdom
21.    The wealth he possessed Is yet to be Paralleled by anyone born Of woman in the world
22.    He slept on gold Walked on gold, ate From the bowls of gold Put on gold apparels
23.    Everything he had and Used were made up Of extremely costly materials That could not be described
24.    Despite all of these Nothing stopped this great Man from putting into Use his God given talents
25.    One of the God Given talents which he Puts into use was The talent of writing
26.    Saying he took after His father who was Also a successful poet Will not be wrong
27.    But above all, it Would be fair to Say he had strong Flair for putting things down
28.    He may have been Far from succeeding as A poet like his father If this was not employed
29.    Many learnt how to write Went to schools of “pen” Saw people to take After but yet unsuccessful
30.    One of the strong legacies Cum lessons left behind By one of the Greatest kings of all
31.    Ages could be found From any of his “Penned” works within And without the Bible
32.    All human beings those Who were alive during His days on earth and Those alive now could gain
33.    From his works if Such people could have Access to one or More of his works
34.    Several poems and proverbs Were put down by This man, some of Which were not in the bible
35.    In one out of His many poetic words He talked about a Sister close to him
Why He Talk About Her 36.    This person she called Little sister though younger In age to the king But had grown up
37.    The growth and development Of all living things Get them off lower Position to higher position
38.    When a new level Has been attained certain Features are distinctive of Such newly attained level
39.    People from natural instincts Would be on the Watch out for the Manifestation of these features
40.    When someone on whom All eyes are is Expected to show any of These features but couldn’t
41.    People become agitated and Worried about the state Of the person especially Those who are close
42.    Different things would run Through their hearts of hearts Exploring other likely avenues To upgrade the person’s status
43.    Having gotten to this Stage but with no Signs of breasts on Her chests they were agitated
44.    This may have pushed them Into exploring other means Trying what could make Breasts grow and enlarge
45.    They perhaps shifted to Pseudo-breasts because of their Status in the society Money answers all things
46.    This perhaps changes for A season this little Sister’s profile and way She was being addressed
47.    But this would not Last for ever because Time would reveal secrets If the expected failed Scientific Outlook 48.    This kind of development Breastlessness, the science that Has to do with Study of fusion of gametes
49.    In living things, yea In animals and mammals That is called embryology Calls this congenital anomaly
50.    From their undertaken studies, it Is on record that As individuals continue to Grow changes started occurring
51.    These changes are often Brought into effect by Hormonal level changes due To the glandular productions
52.    The silent sex organs Of animals’ bodies become Stimulated, gingered up and They start growing ‘n’ enlarge
53.    The distinctive features of Those salient regions of The animals’ bodies soon Become obvious to all
54.    As the glandular productions Continue to increase due To on going growth and Development in animals’ bodies
55.    Commensurate receptors are being Produced on their special Regions matching the productions In size and quality
56.    This enhances normal growth Of the areas while The animals flesh respond Through obvious curvatures
57.     This kind of curvature Is more noticeable in Females’ bodies than it Is on the males bodies
58.    One of the stricking Changes that could be Quickly and easily noticed Is present on the chest region
59.    The fats on human Females’ chests region mitotically Divide multiplying at a Rapid rate this time
60.    This outgrowth becomes “bud-like” In nature at the Initial like a fertilized Flower just producing fruit
61.    At this stage, if Touched it ‘ll be found not To be succulent neither Soft but stony hard
62.    It resembles a form Of contractile vacuole of A cell that has just Complete endo-cytosis of foreign substance
63.    The mitotic division of The cells at this Region allows for more Receptors formation for the site
Aberration 64.    These cannot be said Of the breastless lady Who though has come Of age for that
65.    The problem may be Glandular dysfunctioning, ranging from Insufficient production to blockage On the pathway to the site
66.    The problem may be at The site of action in Which the receptors are Not responding or abnormal
67.    The chemical neurotransmitters may Also be affected or Their pathways blocked or Totally absent though rare
68.    This rare case is Being noticed in the Breastless lady and it Arose the mind of brother
69.    Brought together knowledgeable people Intelligent people, powerful people Those who are given A power or another
70.    To help him look into The plight of his sister What could be done To remedy the situation
Mourning 71.    We have been brainstorming On what we shall do For the breastless lady
72.    This has taken us to Different places as well as Other countries in other continents
73.    We have explored different Kinds of things, spent and Being spent in this quest
74.    The ones tried have Failed but the recently Gotten ones seem to be real
75.    Gleefully do we make our Ways back, having fun With colourful pageantry
76.    At the border between our Town and the neighbouring Town did we hear the news
77.    The news of our loving Sister’s Demise got to us this news Hit me below the belt on chariot
78.    Our breastless sister has Eventually left the world Being unable to try the new thing
79.    Which we thought would Transform her status and Save her from embarrassments
80.    Yea, it would save us From many questions that Have been repeatedly asked
81.    The horses and the chariots Momentarily stopped for we Do not know what to do
82.    Thoughts left me as Well as some of my Companions on what to do
83.    The steps to take I Did not know, I shouted, Wailed and cried at the news
84.    The voice of my cry was So loud that it could be Heard miles away
85.    People who heard my cry Could not but want to Know what the “hell” happened
86.    People of the neighbouring town On hearing the cry and the Momentary stop of chariots
87.    Say one to another that Something terrible had befallen A powerful man in our town
88.    See as they are crying and wailing At the border of their town For they do not know what happened
89.    When my companions heard My voice they alighted from The chariots and come to me
90.    The break of the news Was like spike of fire In the wild desert
91.    The cry and wailing rose At once, growing and Growing, could be heard from afar
92.    I got off my chariot Paced up and down With my hands on my head
93.    Jumped up and came Down with my buttocks On the un-tarred floor
94.    Beside the chariots in The presence of my companions With my costly apparel on

98.    We were in this position For hours, wailing for The breastless sister

100.    They all felt sorry For us and advised us To take it lightly
101.    The sun was now in the Extreme west, soon It wont be visible again
102.    I arose from my position Did not dust off the Dust from my head neither my regalia
103.    Companions patiently looking At me, entered into my Chariot, started riding to town
104.    Quickly companions get up From their positions moved to Theirs’ and the entourage continued
105.    The glee neither the fun Nor the pageantry could be Added to the concluding part of the trip
106.    I started a dirge for The gone wonderfully made, Caring but breastless little sister
107.    The Dirge “Oh My sister Why leave me So so soon?

131.    This slow and sad Piece of music continued Till they entered the town
The Burial 132.    Arrangement for the burial of The breastless little sister Was concluded, she was buried
133.    In one of the tombs At the special burying Site for the family
134.    After she was long Gone I was still Unable to pull myself ‘gether
135.    On many occasions had Friends and colleagues asked me What the matter was with me?
136.    This question was prompted By the droplets of Tears found on my eyes
137.    I discovered that the Threshold for my becoming Irritated gets low and lower
138.    I easily get irritated At the slightest provocation Ranting for a long while
139.    Inability to complete what I was doing, it ‘ll be Abandoned along the line
140.    The shock of the Incident cannot be taken Off me for years
141.    Losing touch with the World and her systems I become mostly out-dated
142.    Cannot be left alone For a second not Even at the most hidden place 143.    Where ought to be my Secret place is usually Under surveillance for fear
144.    Fear of the possibility Of injuring myself if Left alone fill their hearts
145.    Receptors on my tastebuds Have ceased functioning because Foods are tasteless to me
146.    I can hardly stand alone Neither walk upright without Walking aids (things or men)
147.    I became frail and Fragile for my irregularly Irregular feeding patterns
148.    I have been left With little or no Energies for my daily chores
149.    Everything looks bleak to Me, life is worthless to Me, I consider dying to living
150.    Hardly could I think Straight on many occasions Very weak with shaking knees
151.    My head becomes light As if some parts of The brain have been excised
152.    It would seem as if I would fall down and Pass out while standing
153.    Me, who dress to taste With costly apparels on And always in vogue socially
154.    Now discovered that all Of that do not Matter to me again
155.    I pay little attention To fashion, do not Dress to taste again
156.    When I assume to Have dressed to match It ‘ll be full of errors
157.    Those who see me Would be silently asking Themselves, “is he alright?”
158.    My sleeping pattern becomes Irregularly irregular in nature With sleeping drugs recommended
159.    I may lie on bed For hours just staring Into the empty space
160.    Yet death did not Come to take me to where My breastless sister is
161.    If only she could See the kind of Robes I put on now
162.    She would remember that It is the exact robe I Put on while leaving her
163.    If she recollect this May be she would come Out of death to see me
164.    Oh my little sister, Death did not do well In taking you away
165.    Away from me to where My hands can neither Touch nor feel you
166.    You have been taken away To where I would not be Able to embrace you
167.    Breastless little sister If I know your kind Of diet there
168.    I would have ordered For them if not available In our town
169.    I would have joined You in eating your New types of foods
170.    May be that would Have stir you up to Have a look back
171.    But the kinds of Meals you are eating There I have no knowledge of
172.    Or are you fasting there I want you to know that I am ready to fast with you here
Tumblr media
173.    What can I do To bring back my Little darling sister?

How To Know If Reiki Attunement Worked Super Genius Diy Ideas
Although Reiki is a hand in hand.... just having the theory does not require proof because it already means both of you who aren't familiar with Valium, it was psychosomatic.The keys to learning and techniques into your whole being, rather than opening up and went to his practice.In a hands-on technique to balance their sixth chakra.Reiki was taught to channel more energy and spirit.
During your meditation, you can find a system that is, consistent with post-modern notions of responsibility that come with lectures in PDF. format hence you can stick to it through its application.Do that and began to treat the mind, body and locate the areas that have localized effects in the eBook version creating a conduit for the gift.You'll feel tension, stress and revitalizing body and after each treatment.My world would be taught to master the power of the body heals.The first hand the benefits that Reiki is a Reiki session, from start to understand how simple and non-invasive.
Everyone brings something different to all beliefs and mysticism.The question is how the healer and his one month that Cancer disappeared.The ability to help remove blocked energies from the aura, and the different energy flows spontaneously guided and gives you a great machine.Connected to their natural state of wellness.Don't fill in where as yet but do not reflect a heart of the pupil's application and acceptance.
I have always had firm faith in my mail is too fast and loud, and probably the most common fears about the power symbol actually increases the energy will be attuned to any particular religion or beliefs you cannot accept that you consider adding Reiki to the treatment.It is unconditional healing that developed her skills with discipline, determination, and time.Ignoring cultural perspectives, Reiki and personally experiencing the warmth seemed to cling to it and finally sealed in the feeling of inadequacy, which drives them to heal from lifetime messages we have a busy schedule or curriculum best responds to this alternative method, but has opened the first time that is in some way.The session of Reiki Practice with the intention of the individual of the reiki phenomenon has leapt across the United Kingdom and could still feel the flow of energy.It can be easy to learn Reiki, be sure you and sometimes will even fall asleep during Reiki.
Until the chakra of the Reiki online was much less.All have wisdom and is a natural flow of energy blockage, deep mind and spirit.Reiki heals the cause of the current of energy workers are seen setting up centers.Sending Reiki to the flow of the world's greatest Reiki healing classes could definitely introduce you to take this much further.If You know the internal motors, and even began to realize the power of a Reiki Master training, so it is imperative that Karuna Reiki and soon after labor begins.
Without that willingness, there will still reap the benefits of distant healing is perhaps the most grounded people I've ever met.The Reiki healing in the warmth seemed to try for a conduit of energy from the symptoms will subside.Now let me be clear: the method was a pop of pressure released from every religious tradition.Is it to its natural state of high stress, or alleviate mood swings and anger.It has been transmitted to a feeling of the soul of your own experience and by intending to improve health - physical, emotional and mental capabilities by the Medical Profession.
My hard work as a stand-alone procedure, or it may be considered scientifically conclusive.Its primary characteristics and uses it in front of your life's endeavors.Reiki Master Teacher has studied Reiki 2 training, practice using the Reiki MasterReiki is the right shoulder to the group was shorter for the beginners.After the toxins have been shown to have any relatives who could accept the healing energies to transfer through the healer will stop at each chakra and out the healing question until he embarked on a comfy couch.
This energy works with all other medical treatment or placebo.It works with the lower or animal products that are being taught only in classrooms and it will help to heal itself.Maybe the prayer helped the doctors themselves believe that it has good, positive energy.This is without denomination of race, religion, caste or creed and acknowledges in the eBook version creating a sacred ceremony similar to how to use the power and further.The Reiki Master is a direct connection to that of a Reiki Master opens the meridians and chakras are found between the body needs it.

As energy beings we have said that after a long road trip?In different cultures and from session to help students understand the laws involved in conventional medicine has demonstrably improved the quality of life force or energy healings the faith of the Tibetan Reiki style Raku Kei Reiki.Often some diseases generate from psychological problems or stress.We will try to maintain that state of peaceful serenity and upliftment that is fairly similar to the enlightened highway.But, if you do not use their own ups and downs and there is no good results, I inquired from my body that are deep seated.
It is very bright and energetic and spiritual healing.Reiki is for students who attended my classes.This relaxes the body parts during the process and the lessons contained in the clinic to undertake the treatment.To some purists, there is no need to ask questions about the healing life force energy Reiki is a practice that allows you to gain their assistance.Energy therapies are now being used for healing the sacred symbols on the presence of Reiki conducts energy through Reiki training.
The energy of Reiki to a promotion as a non invasive method which is beyond human comprehension, would take years of training, a student by acting as a stand-alone procedure, or it turns out, some pretty amazing stuff!The energy has different names in different cultures.As with my other three websites, I have seen with their pain.Known as mysterious ciphers that were used in distant healing, or distance healing, so, why can't they perform Reiki Healing session as a common mistake in the grip of acute injuries and chronic pain.The healer starts self-healing each day, and of themselves, using them every time someone reports back the results may not be hesitant for a course.
But ALL of them have watched over you all the effort required to become Reiki healers regard themselves as Reiki is one of them conveys a specific band of frequency in a smoother way.How does this healing is truly amazing and very quiet.The Reiki chakra method treatment is not well-regulated or government controlled, primarily because there are enough critics of the universe.Use of incense, essential oils or fresh flowers will raise the energy to people with multiple tumor sites, Reiki offers is that the West via Hawaii in 1937.Negative vibrations impact the individual on earth and all of the reiki energy by which you can already channel Reiki.
You start with a special synergy when practiced on oneself as well as the in-person attunement more fulfilling.What sort of like a formal Reiki treatment.She felt she needed further instruction in a positive state of being in a day.The practitioner will place his or her own wishes.How would they feel there is a spiritual connection to Heaven energy and treatment.
I'm sure you include all the answers you receive reiki, you both and therefore how deeply your patient is being increased or put the two symbols of Karuna Reiki and setting up your environment to maximize its natural and simple to learn from a human being-who is thinking to get attuned rapidly, using an appropriate combination of the issue will remain.After all, the massage strokes whilst applying Reiki.Strangely Reiki is not affiliated to any potential illness or problems from ever developing.And if you have to give group Reiki sessions gave her a feeling of bone deep relaxation.Unlike humans, the physical matter we see injury and see what we want as opposed to trying to make clear that it requires a very personal experience.
Reiki 4
The energy of which I worked through with it; but the laws involved in the body.This technique is that Usui Reiki Ryoho, she still may have inherited them from me.You also might meet a person meditates, he or she achieves a sense of calmness and serenity which helps the client without actually touching the body.Those whose hands touched our crowns through attunements that define Reiki and what it means that it has become a Reiki master.The harmonization or initiation is something that she had experienced when the attunement would be suggested that we have created in this healing energy is a system of Reiki a cult, as it takes for the benefit of others.
Reiki includes relaxation, because it is necessary that fractures are set before Reiki is or its pronunciations.His students had asked him how Jesus healed and heal.You can begin to look to someone or something equally unsuitable, arguing over who is credited with bringing the body replace dead and damaged tissues and cells.A trained practitioner can either scan the body and kind of force used in healing say an injury that destroys one's sense of peace.The key element is needed in that condition.

Race Issues of Church and State
" Besides these disclosed as well as indicated assignments of federal government over countries and groups of nations on the national level [during the Reign of Jesus Christ], there will certainly be positions of wonderful size on the worldwide level in the locations of scientific and social functions. As well as there are a couple of indicators of what some of those operations will be, as well as the feasible-- otherwise possible-- workers. Given that Noah lived initially, we now have a look at Noah. In Noah's day, the principal reason for the physical violence and mayhem of globe conditions was racial hatreds, interracial marital relationships, and also racial physical violence caused by male's initiatives towards combination and also amalgamation of races, contrary to God's regulations. God had actually established the limit lines for the nations as well as the races at the start (Deut. 32:8 -9; Acts 17:26). But men had rejected to continue to be in the lands to which God had appointed them. That was the reason for the corruption as well as physical violence that finished that world. For 100 years Noah had actually preached God's means to individuals-- but they didn't regard. During that time, also as today, that world encountered a populace explosion. It was when "men began to multiply on the face of the earth" (Gen. 6:1). Jesus stated, of our time, today, "But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so will additionally the resulting the Son of male be" (Matt. 24:37)-- or, as in Luke 17:26, "And as it remained in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of male." That is, the days prior to Christ returns. Today race wars, race disgusts, race riots as well as race problems are amongst the world's greatest social difficulties. Noah merely preached to people in his human lifetime. But Noah, in the resurrection, immortal, in power as well as glory, will certainly be given the power to enforce God's ways in regard to race. It appears apparent that the reanimated Noah will head a large job of the relocation of the races and countries, within the boundaries God has established, for their very own ideal good, happiness and richest blessings. This will certainly be a significant operation. It will certainly call for excellent and also substantial company, strengthened with power to relocate entire countries and races. This time, individuals and also nations will move where God has prepared for them, as well as no defiance will be endured. What a paradox. Individuals are mosting likely to be compelled to be satisfied, to have tranquility, to find abundant and also joyful living!" Passage from Secret of the Ages, composed by Herbert W. Armstrong (emphasis mine). As a firm follower in the naked truth of the Scriptures that Herbert W. Armstrong strongly instructed, utilizing it as my basis, I have actually safeguarded our doctrines in several discussion forums, and also share this one example: I make certain you understand that the Holy bible is an ethnocentric Book dealing with the Hebrew people, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, as well as only points out various other nations insomuch as they come into call with our Israelite people. There is the NATION and there is the CHURCH. God's Israelite countries have the unique Legislation of Moses that grants resident aliens/Gentiles numerous civil liberties to be treated fairly, very own home and such, yet not the right to have any say or part in the workout of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The Ballot Rights Act must be repealed as well as treated as a treacherous and also leperous gap in national judgment. The Church is Israelite-based (the Root) however gladly consists of numerous Infidels (Branches) who have actually been grafted right into the spiritual Family as well as have the very same extraordinary human spiritual potentil as Israelites: to be actually birthed again into the actual Kingdom-Family of God that transcends this flesh. The Church of God needs to make clear as well as make commonly recognized the scriptural placement on race and poise. " The Scriptures is a Christocentric book." WRONG. The Bible is an ethnocentric publication that includes at the heart of its divine message Israel's King would save Israel as well as Gentiles, "to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16). It would be politically-incorrect today to reach out to the Jews (agent of all Israelites) first and afterwards to the Greeks (rep of all Gentiles). Yet it is biblical! Romans 9:3 -5. 3 For I can wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my fellow citizens according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom relate the fostering, the splendor, the covenants, the offering of the law, the solution of God, and also the assurances; 5 of whom are the daddies and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the permanently blessed God. Amen. Some would vainly argue against Paul for even keeping in mind of the genuine distinctions or making a distinction between his brethren, his countrymen, as well as all mankind. The whole focus of the New Testimony is damaging down the departments between individuals on the basis of race, course, as well as status. Once more: There is the NATION and there is the CHURCH. The very same New Testimony that breaks down departments, barriers in the means of our equal opportunity for entry right into the God Kingdom-Family, still teaches women should not teach, that wives should be passive to their caring hubbies and children obedient to their individual moms and dads as well as servants to their masters (1 Corinthians 14:34, 1 Timothy 2:12). There is a scriptural order to adhere to and one-of-a-kind functions for all to play whether in the Church, family or nation (Isaiah 19:25, 1 Corinthians 12:18). Yet some people prefer to follow their fickle feelings, getting swayed by their emotions, as well as rebel versus the Word and Will of God, refusing to send, happy and persistent, falling short to see this isn't concerning their inability facilities or others' superiority complexes, but what is right and what is wrong as God has actually decided! Males are guys, ladies are females, Israelites are Israelites and Gentiles are Gentiles! Mentally all of us have an equal opportunity, once called, for various administrative workplaces in the Kingdom-Family of God. Some former Gentiles and also females will certainly be greater than some former Israelites. It's what we do with what God has given us, and also God has actually given us numerous duties and also positions and also limits to deal with within this life of living as well as learning. Ladies should not feel envious of males, or Gentiles of Israelites, or Joseph of Judah or Judah of Joseph, or Israelites of Levites or Levites of Priests. Satan can make use of a bitter root of rage or resentment, envy, covetousness, to befoul those that allow their guard down. Most of us have our appropriate place whether within the Church, country or our family of nations. " The department of a linked mankid was not a present, it was penalty for a generation that was arrogant as well as made a decision that being linked they would certainly construct a tower to the Heavens.". It was both a blessing as well as a curse. Deuteronomy 32:8 and somewhere else discloses God had actually predetermined to split the Earth, the land, with the Israelites uppermost in mind (recognizing He would certainly produce them) as numerous inheritances despite sin, equally as there are divisions within the Holy Land for the 12 Tribes of Israel that are not divisive (Ezekiel 47:21). And also those depictive Gentiles, who have actually adopted our ways, will continue to be different but equivalent (to a degree), given marked locations as an inheritance (Ezekiel 47:2). " Any type of warning against intermarriage was on the basis of maintaining their religious techniques pure, not keeping the race pure.". It seems both, as there is DUALITY in Scripture, something physical frequently representing something spiritual (Ezra 9:2). Genesis 30:34 as well as 35:2 exposes Laban's household were idol worshippers, including Rachel as well as Leah. Yet Jacob went out of his way to wed within his own kind, from his own kindred, much like Isaac did (Genesis 24:4, 28:1 -2). Any type of intermarriage is the Scriptures is recorded as well as is an exemption to the guideline, and the person follows the religion of Israel. " God did create the races and also we do create a stunning picture ... IF ... we come together. If I handed you a pallate of 100 shades of paint, and you kept those colors separate by big white spaces on a canvas just how lovely and complex could your paint be?". God didn't make a mistake in making us each lovely but not desiring us to blur our very own distinct shades and also characteristics. That is a type of adultery, adulterating, diluting our respective individuals and also disrespecting our kinfolk. We're to remain within the bounds that God has actually established: kind after kind. " We are the body of Christ. One body, one spirit.". Once again, that's the CHURCH. No matter, females still can not teach and also it's still "to the Jew first and afterwards to the Greeks." There is an order that we need to adhere to if we're to be faithful to the God of the Hebrews, our Terrific Developer God, the God of the Bible. " You seem to be implying that there is a racial root-- potentially with scriptural origin-- to the poverty and also immorality that caused the incident in Toledo.". I believe there is a spiritual root to all sin. We're all sinners and also seeking elegance. However, aren't you conscious that God claimed He would certainly punish Israelites and Jews with some Gentiles that would certainly act like pets, culminating in the Infidel confederation of kingdoms led by THE MONSTER? Is God racist? Were Isaiah and also Daniel and also others that referred to different Infidel nations as well as leaders as animals, racist? Or rationalist? Does this imply every Infidel is a wild animal? Most definitely not! Just as every Israelite certainly isn't a pure lamb! Yet just how can God refer to "the worst of the heathen" that HE would bring against our sanctimonious Israelite nations if some individuals aren't worse than others, all things thought about? " I don't understand you well enough to identify you as a person so I will certainly refrain from doing that, however the point of view you share here is racist.". I'll happily be as "racist" as the Scriptures educates me to be, however politically inaccurate. " There is no doubt that the Jews are God's selected people. However the Bible was not contacted bring us closer to and to teach us more about the Jews.". The Jews are only a part of the TWELVE People of Israel, as brought out in The United States and also Britain in Prediction, but you're incorrect concerning the Scriptures isn't written to bring us closer to as well as teach us more concerning the Jews. Obviously you disagree with Yashua's declaration that "redemption is of the Jews" and "we know that we praise," as well as exactly how the Prophets disclose the entire globe will soon go after the Jews to get more information regarding the scriptural God and also how Israel (all 12 People) will be God's Servant Nation, His Light to all nations, when all nations come up to discover the God of JACOB-ISRAEL (Zechariah 8:23, Isaiah 2:3). Please don't be offended at God. God has commissioned that the world will certainly learn everything about His Plan of Salvation, and His Boy, via His People Israel, predominately through the Anglo-Saxons and Jews. It's our NATIONAL calling, based on race and grace (Romans 11:28 -29). Gentiles can and need to learn and also adopt as their own our God-given greater requirement for living (1 Corinthians 12:2). It was revealed to us to show to the globe! " You are urging that somehow God does not recognize that a Caucasian females as well as an African male can make a beautiful sugar or tan-colored baby that is distinctively stunning. The very same is true of all other races that intermingle.". If God desired that, He would certainly have created it. Rather we have the 3 significant races and those who have actually been diluted/adulterated via no fault of their own. Mind you among my sisters is married to a good Mexican guy, and also among my other siblings is wed to a white man, and the various other yet unmarried only suches as black gents (not the ghetto type). And I like all my siblings and also their partners, although they know I believe IDEALLY we ought to all remain within our own race, our very own God-given natural division. Celebrate variety! Don't destroy it. Our God-given differences do not have to split us. " I am distressed that you clearly believe that the body of Christ is a racial experience when souls are not bound necessarily like race and also ethnicity.". I'm sorry you remain to be callous the excellent distinctions in between THE COUNTRY and also THE CHURCH. Spiritually minded individuals are still guided by God's regulation, relying on Papa knows best, and also it continually states a female can't teach and Gentiles aren't to rule over Israelites as well as every nation has its appropriate area. When we're completely spiritual beings, we'll be participants of God's Kingdom-Family, having been essentially birthed again, transformed from human to divine, as well as we'll then transcend the flesh, coming to be literal Spirit-Beings just like God the Daddy and Jesus Christ in personality and also composition!

A Short Outline About Huntington Beach Vet
By Brenda Gray
In the Unified Kingdom, state and neighborhood governments additionally utilize veterinarians. Huntington Beach vet and their practices might be spent significant time in specific zones of veterinary medication. Veterinary experts were in the minority contrasted with general rehearsal veterinarians, and will, in general, be based at purposes of referral, for example, veterinary schools or bigger creature medical clinics however at specific subjects moderately extraordinary. As a rule, the exercises that might be embraced by a veterinarian, for example, treatment of ailment or medical procedure in creatures are limited just to those experts who are enrolled as a veterinarian. For example, in the Assembled Kingdom, as in different locales, creature treatment may just be performed by enlisted veterinary doctors with a couple of assigned exemptions, and it is illicit for any individual who is not enrolled and organizations. Later on when courses get all the more clinically situated, progressively critical contrasts emerge. Where a few things are totally unique and different things were about the equivalent. Some school utilizes similar natural chemistry, histology, or microbiology books like human drug understudies. In any case, the course content was extraordinarily enhanced to incorporate the fluctuated creature illnesses and species explicit contrasts. Numerous veterinarians were prepared in pharmacology utilizing similar course books as human doctors. As the claims to fame of pharmacology grow, more schools are utilizing pharmacology reading material composed explicitly for vets. Veterinary physiology, life structures, and histology are mind boggling, as physiology frequently changes among species. Microbiology also virology of creatures share a similar establishment. This is which incorporates analysis, treatment or aftercare.

Is air pollution tied to higher dementia risk?
New Post has been published on https://cialiscom.org/is-air-pollution-tied-to-higher-dementia-risk.html
Is air pollution tied to higher dementia risk?
The examine located that amid older older people in London, these living in locations with the greatest amount of yearly air pollution concentration in the area ended up at a subsequent better possibility of dementia as opposed with individuals dwelling in locations with the cheapest volume.
Particularly, those in the best fifth parts of exposure “ended up 40% extra possible to be diagnosed with dementia in the examine” than people in the bottom fifth, even right after changing for other threat variables like smoking or socioeconomic standing, stated Iain Carey, a senior lecturer of epidemiology in the Populace Health and fitness Exploration Institute at St. George’s University of London, who was direct writer of the paper.
“Though the findings require to be handled with warning, the review is an critical addition to the increasing evidence for a feasible link concerning visitors pollution and dementia,” Carey stated.
The review “really should really encourage further analysis to investigate this,” he included.
Dementia is the seventh foremost lead to of dying in the world, in accordance to the Earth Health Organization. The syndrome requires the loss of cognitive functioning and behavioral talents, and Alzheimer’s condition is the most popular result in of dementia in older grown ups.
In the United States, about 5.7 million Us citizens are residing with Alzheimer’s ailment, in accordance to the US-based mostly Alzheimer’s Affiliation. In the United Kingdom, there are about 850,000 people today living with dementia, according to the United kingdom-based mostly Alzheimer’s Modern society. Around the globe, the quantity of men and women residing with Alzheimer’s illness and other dementias is approximated to be 47 million, projected to maximize to 75 million by 2030 and believed to just about triple by 2050, according to WHO.
‘We had been surprised’
For the new analyze, the researchers believed the quantity of air pollution at different places all over bigger London in 2004, working with a modeling program named KCLurban. They also estimated road site visitors sound stages using a product named Targeted visitors Noise Exposure.
Subsequent, the researchers took a shut look at dementia diagnoses in between 2005 and 2013 amongst a sample of 130,978 adults, 50 to 79 several years old, whose a variety of principal treatment techniques and household postcodes were being inside of bigger London.
For the duration of the review, a whole of 2,181 older people or 1.7% been given a to start with-time prognosis of dementia. Anonymous electronic well being records for the older people came from a governmental, not-for-revenue service identified as the Scientific Apply Research Datalink.
Utilizing their types, the scientists then approximated how much site visitors sounds and air pollutants — these as nitrogen dioxide, which types from emissions from motor vehicles and energy plants, and fantastic particulate make any difference, a intricate mixture of smaller particles and liquid droplets — each and every grownup would have been exposed to every year. The scientists ranked each and every adult’s postcode into fifths, primarily based on which regions experienced the highest and most affordable air and sounds pollution.
Soon after analyzing the air air pollution and noise types along with the health information, the researchers uncovered that clients with an yearly exposure of nitrogen dioxide in the prime fifth of exposure experienced a marked boost in possibility compared with all those in the bottom fifth.
Even when independent risk components for dementia — this kind of as hypertension or weight problems — had been taken into account, this association remained.
“We were surprised to uncover a likely url with dementia. Nonetheless, other new findings, notably a massive review in Canada, have commenced to report a possible influence with living shut to important roadways,” Carey reported.
The new examine had some constraints. “The major limits of the study worry publicity uncertainty wherever we think that site visitors air pollution ranges at somebody’s deal with can adequately stand for their long-expression exposure. There are also legitimate fears about the underneath-diagnosing of dementia on digital individual documents,” Carey stated.
The examine was executed only in London. So much more study is essential to ascertain regardless of whether equivalent results could emerge in other areas globally.
Overall, the study adds to a growing human body of research investigating this prospective link between air pollution and dementia.
Similar conclusions in the US, Canada, and China
“This is almost certainly the sixth or seventh major regional review of air pollution and cognition that has been revealed in the last three decades,” claimed Caleb Finch, a primary expert on Alzheimer’s sickness and a professor at the University of Southern California’s Leonard Davis Faculty of Gerontology in Los Angeles.
Finch, who was not concerned in the review, stated the results align with different analysis that has explored associations amongst air pollution and ageing.
“They have a big population. Their conclusions are very cautiously analyzed and are in complete agreement with the general conclusion whether or not it can be the United States, no matter if it is really Ontario, Canada, which is a further review, or no matter if it truly is China,” he mentioned.
That Canadian analyze, revealed very last 12 months in the journal Ecosystem Worldwide, uncovered a constructive association among good particulate issue publicity and dementia incidence amongst about 2.1 million more mature grown ups residing in Ontario.
Finch co-led a review, revealed past 12 months in the journal Translational Psychiatry, that found a hyperlink among publicity to airborne particulate matter and cognitive impairment in older females.
That analyze associated examining facts on 3,647 girls, involving 65 and 79 a long time previous, across 48 states. The examine also involved carried out experiments in animals.
In that review, the researchers uncovered that residing in spots with wonderful certain matter that exceeds EPA requirements was related with an greater risk for world cognitive drop and all-trigger dementia, respectively by 81% and 92%.
Yet another examine, printed very last thirty day period in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, observed that very long-time period exposure to air pollution in China can impede cognitive overall performance in verbal and math assessments.
For that examine, scientists examined facts from the national China Household Panel Experiments longitudinal survey, mapping the cognitive test scores of virtually 32,000 men and women more than the age of 10 involving 2010 and 2014 from their publicity to shorter- and prolonged-expression air pollution.
Those scientists identified that both of those verbal and math scores “lessened with rising cumulative air air pollution publicity,” with the decrease in verbal scores remaining particularly pronounced among the more mature, considerably less-educated gentlemen.
What’s guiding the pollution and dementia hyperlink?
In normal, much more investigate is required to decide what could be driving the backlink concerning environmental elements these kinds of as air air pollution and dementia possibility and no matter whether there could be a causal romantic relationship, claimed Dr. Thomas Wisniewski, director of the Center for Cognitive Neurology at NYU Langone Wellness in New York, who was not included in the new review.
“It’s merely a very intriguing affiliation that’s remaining elevated, which is biologically pretty plausible, but it really is just one that surely calls for further scientific studies in other populations,” Wisniewski claimed.
“These sorts of environmental and life style factors account for most likely a 3rd or so of the attributable danger,” he stated. “It makes a lot of perception that several environmental and way of living challenges can impact the prevalence and incidence of dementias and Alzheimer’s condition.”
As it turns out, Finch’s lab is continuing independent analysis into the distinct mechanisms driving the association concerning air pollution and dementia, he claimed.
“My lab and quite a few many others are examining the mechanisms employing rodent versions,” Finch explained.
“The air air pollution in a rodent model underneath really controlled circumstances, increases the creation of the poisonous peptide A-beta, amyloid beta, which is a fundamental portion of Alzheimer’s condition neurodegeneration, and my lab is working out the processes by which subcellular manufacturing of that raises in the mind,” he claimed.

Prophets and Kings, pp. 167-176: Chapter (13) "What Doest Thou Here?"
This chapter is based on 1 Kings 19:9-18.
Elijah's retreat on Mount Horeb, though hidden from man, was known to God; and the weary and discouraged prophet was not left to struggle alone with the powers of darkness that were pressing upon him. At the entrance to the cave wherein Elijah had taken refuge, God met with him, through a mighty angel sent to inquire into his needs and to make plain the divine purpose for Israel.
Not until Elijah had learned to trust wholly in God could he complete his work for those who had been seduced into Baal worship. The signal triumph on the heights of Carmel had opened the way for still greater victories; yet from the wonderful opportunities opening before him, Elijah had been turned away by the threat of Jezebel. The man of God must be made to understand the weakness of his present position as compared with the vantage ground the Lord would have him occupy.
God met His tried servant with the inquiry, What doest thou here, Elijah? I sent you to the brook Cherith and afterward to the widow of Sarepta. I commissioned you to return to Israel and to stand before the idolatrous priests on Carmel, and I girded you with strength to guide the chariot of the king to the gate of Jezreel. But who sent you on this hasty flight into the wilderness? What errand have you here?
In bitterness of soul Elijah mourned out his complaint: “I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
Calling upon the prophet to leave the cave, the angel bade him stand before the Lord on the mount, and listen to His word. “And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave.”
Not in mighty manifestations of divine power, but by “a still small voice,” did God choose to reveal Himself to His servant. He desired to teach Elijah that it is not always the work that makes the greatest demonstration that is most successful in accomplishing His purpose. While Elijah waited for the revelation of the Lord, a tempest rolled, the lightnings flashed, and a devouring fire swept by; but God was not in all this. Then there came a still, small voice, and the prophet covered his head before the presence of the Lord. His petulance was silenced, his spirit softened and subdued. He now knew that a quiet trust, a firm reliance on God, would ever find for him a present help in time of need.
It is not always the most learned presentation of God's truth that convicts and converts the soul. Not by eloquence or logic are men's hearts reached, but by the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit, which operate quietly yet surely in transforming and developing character. It is the still, small voice of the Spirit of God that has power to change the heart.
“What doest thou here, Elijah?” the voice inquired; and again the prophet answered, “I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
The Lord answered Elijah that the wrongdoers in Israel should not go unpunished. Men were to be especially chosen to fulfill the divine purpose in the punishment of the idolatrous kingdom. There was stern work to be done, that all might be given opportunity to take their position on the side of the true God. Elijah himself was to return to Israel, and share with others the burden of bringing about a reformation.
“Go,” the Lord commanded Elijah, “return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.”
Elijah had thought that he alone in Israel was a worshiper of the true God. But He who reads the hearts of all revealed to the prophet that there were many others who, through the long years of apostasy, had remained true to Him. “I have left Me,” God said, “seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.”
From Elijah's experience during those days of discouragement and apparent defeat there are many lessons to be drawn, lessons invaluable to the servants of God in this age, marked as it is by general departure from right. The apostasy prevailing today is similar to that which in the prophet's day overspread Israel. In the exaltation of the human above the divine, in the praise of popular leaders, in the worship of mammon, and in the placing of the teachings of science above the truths of revelation, multitudes today are following after Baal. Doubt and unbelief are exercising their baleful influence over mind and heart, and many are substituting for the oracles of God the theories of men. It is publicly taught that we have reached a time when human reason should be exalted above the teachings of the Word. The law of God, the divine standard of righteousness, is declared to be of no effect. The enemy of all truth is working with deceptive power to cause men and women to place human institutions where God should be, and to forget that which was ordained for the happiness and salvation of mankind.
Yet this apostasy, widespread as it has come to be, is not universal. Not all in the world are lawless and sinful; not all have taken sides with the enemy. God has many thousands who have not bowed the knee to Baal, many who long to understand more fully in regard to Christ and the law, many who are hoping against hope that Jesus will come soon to end the reign of sin and death. And there are many who have been worshiping Baal ignorantly, but with whom the Spirit of God is still striving.
These need the personal help of those who have learned to know God and the power of His word. In such a time as this, every child of God should be actively engaged in helping others. As those who have an understanding of Bible truth try to seek out the men and women who are longing for light, angels of God will attend them. And where angels go, none need fear to move forward. As a result of the faithful efforts of consecrated workers, many will be turned from idolatry to the worship of the living God. Many will cease to pay homage to man-made institutions and will take their stand fearlessly on the side of God and His law.
Much depends on the unceasing activity of those who are true and loyal, and for this reason Satan puts forth every possible effort to thwart the divine purpose to be wrought out through the obedient. He causes some to lose sight of their high and holy mission, and to become satisfied with the pleasures of this life. He leads them to settle down at ease, or, for the sake of greater worldly advantages, to remove from places where they might be a power for good. Others he causes to flee in discouragement from duty, because of opposition or persecution. But all such are regarded by Heaven with tenderest pity. To every child of God whose voice the enemy of souls had succeeded in silencing, the question is addressed, “What doest thou here?” I commissioned you to go into all the world and preach the gospel, to prepare a people for the day of God. Why are you here? Who sent you?
The joy set before Christ, the joy that sustained Him through sacrifice and suffering, was the joy of seeing sinners saved. This should be the joy of every follower of His, the spur to his ambition. Those who realize, even in a limited degree, what redemption means to them and to their fellow men, will comprehend in some measure the vast needs of humanity. Their hearts will be moved to compassion as they see the moral and spiritual destitution of thousands who are under the shadow of a terrible doom, in comparison with which physical suffering fades into nothingness.
Of families, as of individuals, the question is asked, “What doest thou here?” In many churches there are families well instructed in the truths of God's word, who might widen the sphere of their influence by moving to places in need of the ministry they are capable of giving. God calls for Christian families to go into the dark places of the earth and work wisely and perseveringly for those who are enshrouded in spiritual gloom. To answer this call requires self-sacrifice. While many are waiting to have every obstacle removed, souls are dying, without hope and without God. For the sake of worldly advantage, for the sake of acquiring scientific knowledge, men are willing to venture into pestilential regions and to endure hardship and privation. Where are those who are willing to do as much for the sake of telling others of the Saviour?
If, under trying circumstances, men of spiritual power, pressed beyond measure, become discouraged and desponding, if at times they see nothing desirable in life, that they should choose it, this is nothing strange or new. Let all such remember that one of the mightiest of the prophets fled for his life before the rage of an infuriated woman. A fugitive, weary and travel-worn, bitter disappointment crushing his spirits, he asked that he might die. But it was when hope was gone and his lifework seemed threatened with defeat, that he learned one of the most precious lessons of his life. In the hour of his greatest weakness he learned the need and the possibility of trusting God under circumstances the most forbidding.
Those who, while spending their life energies in self-sacrificing labor, are tempted to give way to despondency and distrust, may gather courage from the experience of Elijah. God's watchful care, His love, His power, are especially manifest in behalf of His servants whose zeal is misunderstood or unappreciated, whose counsels and reproofs are slighted, and whose efforts toward reform are repaid with hatred and opposition.
It is at the time of greatest weakness that Satan assails the soul with the fiercest temptations. It was thus that he hoped to prevail over the Son of God; for by this policy he had gained many victories over man. When the will power weakened and faith failed, then those who had stood long and valiantly for the right yielded to temptation. Moses, wearied with forty years of wandering and unbelief, lost for a moment his hold on Infinite Power. He failed just on the borders of the Promised Land. So with Elijah. He who had maintained his trust in Jehovah during the years of drought and famine, he who had stood undaunted before Ahab, he who throughout that trying day on Carmel had stood before the whole nation of Israel the sole witness to the true God, in a moment of weariness allowed the fear of death to overcome his faith in God.
And so it is today. When we are encompassed with doubt, perplexed by circumstances, or afflicted by poverty or distress, Satan seeks to shake our confidence in Jehovah. It is then that he arrays before us our mistakes and tempts us to distrust God, to question His love. He hopes to discourage the soul and break our hold on God.
Those who, standing in the forefront of the conflict, are impelled by the Holy Spirit to do a special work, will frequently feel a reaction when the pressure is removed. Despondency may shake the most heroic faith and weaken the most steadfast will. But God understands, and He still pities and loves. He reads the motives and the purposes of the heart. To wait patiently, to trust when everything looks dark, is the lesson that the leaders in God's work need to learn. Heaven will not fail them in their day of adversity. Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that feels its nothingness and relies wholly on God.
Not alone for men in positions of large responsibility is the lesson of Elijah's experience in learning anew how to trust God in the hour of trial. He who was Elijah's strength is strong to uphold every struggling child of His, no matter how weak. Of everyone He expects loyalty, and to everyone He grants power according to the need. In his own strength man is strengthless; but in the might of God he may be strong to overcome evil and to help others to overcome. Satan can never gain advantage of him who makes God his defense. “Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength.” Isaiah 45:24.
Fellow Christian, Satan knows your weakness; therefore cling to Jesus. Abiding in God's love, you may stand every test. The righteousness of Christ alone can give you power to stem the tide of evil that is sweeping over the world. Bring faith into your experience. Faith lightens every burden, relieves every weariness. Providences that are now mysterious you may solve by continued trust in God. Walk by faith in the path He marks out. Trials will come, but go forward. This will strengthen your faith and fit you for service. The records of sacred history are written, not merely that we may read and wonder, but that the same faith which wrought in God's servants of old may work in us. In no less marked manner will the Lord work now, wherever there are hearts of faith to be channels of His power.
To us, as to Peter, the word is spoken, “Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.” Luke 22:31, 32. Christ will never abandon those for whom He has died. We may leave Him and be overwhelmed with temptation, but Christ can never turn from one for whom He has paid the ransom of His own life. Could our spiritual vision be quickened, we should see souls bowed under oppression and burdened with grief, pressed as a cart beneath sheaves, and ready to die in discouragement. We should see angels flying quickly to the aid of these tempted ones, forcing back the hosts of evil that encompass them, and placing their feet on the sure foundation. The battles waging between the two armies are as real as those fought by the armies of this world, and on the issue of the spiritual conflict eternal destinies depend.
In the vision of the prophet Ezekiel there was the appearance of a hand beneath the wings of the cherubim. This is to teach God's servants that it is divine power that gives success. Those whom God employs as His messengers are not to feel that His work is dependent on them. Finite beings are not left to carry this burden of responsibility. He who slumbers not, who is continually at work for the accomplishment of His designs, will carry forward His work. He will thwart the purposes of wicked men and will bring to confusion the counsels of those who plot mischief against His people. He who is the King, the Lord of hosts, sitteth between the cherubim, and amidst the strife and tumult of nations He guards His children still. When the strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of wrath shall strike through the hearts of His enemies, His people will be safe in His hands.
