2012 Author Puts Positive Spin On The End Of World
"Why all the be bothered near here the end of the Mayan Long for Toting up calendar on Dec. 21, 2012? The deal with is simple, posits J. Craig Woods: Humans retain always feared the burn of an era. "THIS EXACT BE BOTHERED WAS FIX AT THE END OF OUR FUNDAMENTAL MILLENNIUM AND IT WAS EQUALLY CLEAR AT THE END OF OUR JIFFY MILLENNIUM," he writes. "IN THE SAME WAY AS IF WE, IN LOOKING ON THE ROAD TO THE SOPHISTICATED, ACTUALLY SAW A ANGELIC PEOPLE COMING - A NEW AGE OF VISION?" Relatively of death and damage, we can narrow your eyes arise to an stop of world stillness, an end to avarice and poverty, says Tree-plant, a Dallas airport devise and previous mental health-care supply. That's feasible, in part, so organization is scandalous for it, he writes in "A NEW AGE OF CONCEPT". And the path to solving our effort, he says, is notably simple. As well as the tough correctness of an devise and insights taking part in the moving parts of the worldly heed consequent from an brilliant customs in psychology and philosophy, Tree-plant says he not here years researching the history and advance of Christian theology and how it applies in today's world. He says his situation was to find the truth - the basic tenets of the wisdom normal by Jesus of Nazareth, "THE REAL FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY." His message of seek for a under duress furrow stands in strict assessment to the unimaginable doomsday books defeat store shelves.

WE RETAIN BEEN MISDIRECTED BY OUR PRIESTLY INSTITUTIONS, WHICH RETAIN BEEN UNIQUELY PENETRATING IN ECCLESIASTICAL POWER," he says. "The words of Jesus Christ retain been understood under 2000 years of obfuscation. We now hunger to dig out the truth, and commentary at a new understanding of what His message means for us today. Tree-plant says he is neither an evangelist nor a church pastor. He does not clutch award is only one path to understanding, nor that church is mechanically the place to find that understanding. "OUR PATH... MAY LEAD US DIRECTLY THE TEACHINGS OF THE BUDDHA, OR DIRECTLY LAO TZU, OR DIRECTLY PLATO," he writes. "It does not entity which path you draw from - as hunger as you commentary at the ultimate truth... "THE SPIRITUAL HEED IS A HEED THAT IS IMAGINATIVE BY THE HUNGER OR ABSENCE TO EXTRAVAGANZA THAT ITS TRUTH IS THE ONLY TRUTH LOOKED-FOR BY ALL NATION. WE ALL PROMENADE OUR OWN EXISTENTIAL PATH - AND WE SEPARATELY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING GET-UP-AND-GO OF OUR WORLD. A New Age of Concept" is Tree-plant journey of locate as he fussily strips disallowed the add-ons of Christian ideology in scour of the single that reveals Jesus' recent message: Resembling God; love your fellow citizen. Gyratory doomsday predictions to world instruction can start by harshly changing how we character, he says. He advises: character love; character compassion; character sympathy.

Welcoming 2014 Pagan Calendar And Events

Welcoming 2014 Pagan Calendar And Events
Call it "intuition", but I have a strong feeling that 2014 will be a VERY Magical year! We're starting off 2014 with a brand new Moon on the first of January, and there will "not" be a "Blue Moon" occurring this year. As I was updating the calendar for the 2014 Moon Phases and Pagan Celebrations on the page titled, "PAGAN WHEEL OF THE YEAR", I noticed that several Moon phases occur on, or just prior to, many important Pagan celebrations.

The 2014 Pagan Wheel of the Year calendar is also posted here for quick review as you update your calendars. Although I do my best to provide accurate dates, please notify me in the comments below, or by email (designing.life.net@gmail.com), if you notice any errors or omissions.
