In response to the

New Orleans Hurricane disaster, John Scalzi wrote Being Poor, a list of statements about what being poor is like.Being poor is knowing exactly how much everything costs.

Being poor is having to keep buying 800 cars because they're what you can afford, and then having the cars break down on you, because there's not an 800 car in

America that's worth IT.

Being poor is hoping the toothache goes away.

Being poor is knowing your kid goes to friends' houses but never has friends over to yours.

Being poor is going to the restroom before you get in the school lunch line so your friends will be ahead of you and won't hear you say "I get free lunch" when you get to the cashier.

Being poor is living next to the freeway.

Being poor is coming back to the car with your children in the back seat, clutching that box of Raisin Bran you just bought and trying to think of a way to make the kids understand that the box has to last.

Being poor is a heater in only one room of the house.

Being poor is hoping your kids don't have a growth spurt.

Being poor is stealing meat from the store, frying it up before your mom gets home and then telling her she doesn't have make dinner tonight because you're not hungry anyway.

Being poor is not enough space for everyone who lives with you.

Being poor is feeling the glued soles tear off your supermarket shoes when you run around the playground.

Being poor is thinking 8 an hour is a really good deal.

Being poor is a bathtub you have to empty into the toilet.

Being poor is stopping the car to take a lamp from a stranger's trash.

Being poor is people angry at you just for walking around in the mall.

Being poor is people thinking they know something about you by the way you talk.

Being poor is needing that 35-cent raise.

Being poor is your kid's teacher assuming you don't have any books in your home.

Being poor is six dollars short on the utility bill and no way to close the gap.

Being poor is a six-hour wait in an emergency room with a sick child asleep on your lap.

Being poor is never buying anything someone else hasn't bought first.

Being poor is knowing you're being judged.

Being poor is checking the coin return slot of every soda machine you go by.

Being poor is feeling helpless when your child makes the same mistakes you did, and won't listen to you beg them against doing so.

Being poor is making sure you don't spill on the couch, just in case you have to give it back before the lease is up.

Being poor is people who have never been poor wondering why you choose to be so.

Being poor is knowing how hard it is to stop being poor.

Being poor is seeing how few options you have.

Being poor is running in place.

Being poor is people wondering why you didn't leave. "He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,

and he will reward him for what he has done."

A Quote FROM Rev

. Wyrick's 9TH BOOK "THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN" Into this fray, a political Lincoln, a military Lincoln and a spiritual Lincoln moved toward monumental decisions. Struggling for truth, sometimes befuddled by reality, this man who knew his Bible as well as some preachers would often be asked if he thought God was on the side of the North. His reply always remained the same. "My concern is not whether God is on our side. My great concern is to be on God's side."9 It would be difficult to place too much emphasis on the spiritual undergirdings he brought to every decision. This child of the wilderness had had no city lights to mute the stars or compete with moonlight. He had watched his own growing, side by side with all the other growing things in field and forest. It seemed natural to him to ponder that human life must be more of mind, and soul a reality

Night Of The Sprits Castles And Crusades 99 Cent Sale

I love sales, especially when you can get some real bargains. NIGHT OF THE SPIRITS for C&C is one of those real bargains.

It's newly released and currently priced at 99 cents. At quick glance it looks great for Halloween play or anytime you want to disturb your players. No, i haven't read enough to give a review of it, but in general C&C adventures are good quality and easy to use with anything from the OSR to 3x and probably even Pathfinder, although admittedly the later the ruleset the more work needed to convert

No idea how long the price is good for.

From the blurb:

AT THE END OF EACH YEAR COMES THE MONTH AND HOLIDAY OF SAMONIOS, SAMHAIN OR NOS GALAN GAEAF, OR HALLOWEEN. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THE WORLDS ARE DRAWN TOGETHER AND MONSTERS, GODS AND THE SPIRITS OF ANCESTORS WANDER BETWEEN THEM. IT IS A DANGEROUS AND DARK TIME IN WHICH THE MOST HOLY AND SACRED OF IDEAS MEAN MORE THAN THEY EVER HAVE BEFORE IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. IT IS A TIME FOR THE DEAD AND TO HONOR THEM. EVENTS IN THE LAST YEAR WERE STEEPED IN BLOODY BATTLES, THE DEATH OF KINGS AND ENCROACHING EVIL FROM THE OTHERWORLD. THE SEERS AND MADMEN FORETELL THAT THE OMENS ARE IN PLACE TO BRING A WRATHFUL INVASION FROM THE LAND OF MAGIC. MOST NOBLES AND LORDS SCOFF AT THESE SUPERSTITIOUS WORDS AND RIDICULE THEM, BUT THE COMMON-FOLK KNOW THAT THERE IS TRUTH IN THOSE PORTENTS AND OMENS. FAMILIES STAY CLOSE, HOLD THEIR FESTIVITIES IN HONOR OF THEIR ANCESTORS AND THE GODS, BUT STAY WARY OF THE DANGERS THAT MIGHT FIND THEIR WAY INTO THEIR DARKENED HOMES AND LIVES. BUT FOR THE YOUNG OR UNWARY.... LITTLE ADDOLGAR AP MAELON GOF HAS WANDERED INTO THE THICK FOLIAGE OF THE COED CELYDDON, LURED BY THE MANY COLORED PLAYFUL LIGHTS THAT HE SAW DANCING AND LAUGHING. NOW THE YOUNG DARK HAIRED CHILD OF TEN WINTERS IS DEEP IN THE MIST-SHROUDED FOREST SOAKED IN OTHERWORLD ENERGIES. A STORM IS BREWING IN THE DARK WOODS, STIRRING THE TREES AND CAUSING THE LIMBS AND BOUGHS TO CRACK AND KNOCK AGAINST EACH OTHER. OWLS HOOT IN THEIR HAUNTING VOICE AND SOMEWHERE DISTANT, WOLVES HOWL. ADDOLGAR CLIMBS OVER FALLEN TREES AND MAKES HIS WAY IN BRAMBLE PATCHES TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO THE MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS IN THE BOUGHS OF THE TREES. NIGHT OF SPIRITS plunges you into the heart of Nos Galan Gaeaf, bringing your characters face to face with the Otherworld and the true horrors of the holiday! NIGHT OF SPIRITS is an adventure for 3-5 characters of around 4th-6th level.

Prebyteries Dancing Like Puppets

Sometimes reading is hazardous to a sense of reality. Trust can be broken in the midst of a hierarchy of words.

Several Pastors, within and without the PCUSA, recently blogged on the Advisory Committee on the Constitution's advise on the Presbytery of Charlotte's questions about the transfer of ministers and Congregations to Transitional Presbyteries.

The two questions were:

Can a presbytery dismiss a congregation to a transitional presbytery in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church?

Can a presbytery dismiss a minister of the Word and Sacrament to a transitional presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church?

One blogger who is an Evangelical Presbyterian Church Pastor is naturally interested. Pastor David Fischler of the The Reformed Pastor wrote Down the Rabbit Hole. And Presbyterian USA Pastor Toby Brown of Classical Presbyterian wrote, Ex Cathedra: The ACC of the PC(USA) takes aim at dismissals to the EPC. The first blog posting I read about the advisory was after returning home from a Presbytery meeting. It was written by Pastor Bob Davis at Presbyblog. He wrote, May 6, 2008: ACC recommends Authoritative Interpretation regarding transitional presbyteries.

Davis points out the advisory's recommendations to Presbyteries. He writes:

"The provisions of G-15.0203 a and b do, however, require that the General Assembly, as the highest governing body of this denomination, advise its presbyteries in this matter. The 218th General Assembly (2008) therefore advises the presbyteries that they must satisfy themselves concerning the conformity with this denomination of a transitional presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) in matters of doctrines and order. Presbyteries may facilitate the exploration of conformity by means of an administrative commission, although such commissions may not be empowered to approve the dismissal of the congregation. In exploring this matter, presbyteries should consider such questions as whether the receiving EPC presbytery is

*

doctrinally consistent with the essentials of Reformed theology as understood by the presbytery;

*

governed by a polity that is consistent in form and structure with that of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A);

*

of sufficient permanence to offer reasonable assurance that the congregation is not being dismissed to de facto independence.

Failure on the part of the presbytery thoroughly to explore and adequately to document its satisfaction in these matters may thus violate, however unintentionally, the spirit of the polity of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). "

Davis also wrote, "This is a pure regulatory move. It is not missional in design. It would take away authority from the presbyteries and establish greater authority in the higher "governing" bodies. It would have a chilling effect on congregations trying to discern where God is calling -- heightening the sense of distrust."

I was surprised by Pastor Davis's posting. The reason I was surprised: I thought that the advisory must have been posted for several weeks on PC-BiZ and instead it was only posted on May the 6th the day of our Presbytery meeting.

I had already read the Advisory and saw how it had been used since it was a part of the papers posted on our presbytery's web site a week ago. And it was used in the first report written by a mediating team concerning a church in our presbytery seeking dismissal from the PCUSA. The first two meetings with the teams from both the church and the presbytery were held on April the 9th and 11th. So I have two questions concerning these papers.

* I wonder how many other mediating teams in other presbyteries are receiving this advice from Louisville or more succinctly the Office of the General Assembly before it is even voted on by General Assembly?
* I also wonder if other mediating teams are giving out the suggestion this team did in its first report? That is, given the advisory recommendation to the Presbyteries, "We noted that these issues were the subject of a Request for interpretation from the Presbytery of Charlotte that is currently pending before the General Assembly for consideration at the June meeting, and Presbytery [Sacramento] might choose to defer making a determination with respect to those issues until the General Assembly acted on that Request."

In other words, the suggestion was being given that our Presbytery might just want to put this off until after General Assembly. As it happened mediation broke down without this ploy being used. I am not blaming our Presbytery, I am not blaming the mediating team. I am just saying it seems like Presbyteries are becoming puppets on a string being pulled by others in Louisville. That isn't connectionalism, its madness because it will simply further erode any small bit of trust left in the Church.

"(It should be noted that this church asked to be dismissed to the EPC not to a transitional presbytery.)"

Sacrifice Vs Obedience

Throughout the course of this year, I've been reading Psalms each and every morning. If you've spent any time in this longest book of the Bible (if you haven't, shame on you! :) ), you'd know that the writers talk about anything from journeys to Jerusalem to the restoration of the Temple to the Lord's power to prayers to forgiveness, and so on. There are so many good truths to gain from reading this book, but I've found that as I am struggling with something, God's responses to my struggles always stand out as I read His Word. After all, even some of the Biblical greats struggled with things from time to time.

Lately, it's been King David's writing that has spoken to me the most. (I am not talking about the King David from Swaziland, if you read that blog...I am pretty sure he doesn't know how to write). There are a few times in the book of Psalms where David is not doing too well. In Psalm 51 David says to the Lord, "You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not desire a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit." Similarly, in Psalm 40 he says to the Lord "You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings."

I began to wonder what exactly this meant. The Old Testament is chock full of talk on sacrifices. There was a sacrifice for just about everything it seems. David himself lived in the Old Testament days. What sacrifice is it that the Lord doesn't desire? In Psalm 50 God speaks to the wicked people of that day and says that He has "no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer" but goes on to say that He doesn't need the bulls or the goats or the birds or the cattle.

I thought about all I have sacrificed this year. I've sold most of my belongings and put the others in storage for the year. I thought about all the time I sacrificed before the race to get ready for what was to come, and I thought about all the time I've sacrificed this year on the race. God has given me a servant's heart, so when something needs to get done I am usually the first to volunteer to help out. What I realized though was that in the midst of all this, I was going through the motions instead of turning to God and seeing what He wanted my daily sacrifice to look like. The work will always get done, but when God wants you to spend the day on the mountain with him - well, that's not something you want to miss.

I discovered that God doesn't want me - or anyone, for that matter - to go through these motions. What God wants is not the animal sacrifice, but he wants obedience. He wants us to lay down our lives each and every day and be obedient to Him - to serve and love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. God wants us to have the faith to know that He has everything under control, and we don't have to "sacrifice" our time trying to figure it all out. Truth be told, I can look back and see when I have been obedient and when I have not, based on the fruits of my actions - even when the entire time I thought I was sacrificing for God. Can you imagine what our lives would be like if we were obedient to Him?

Keep Calm And Carry On The Family Business

"BY SHANNON LOPEZ"

Not your typical sort of travelling folk, they are Hunters. The bane of every creepy, crawly, glowing-eyed monster that dares go bump in the night. As the name implies, "hunters" are (usually) humans who make it their business to track down and eliminate anything of a mystical persuasion, including, demons, ghosts, witches, vampires, shape-shifters, wendigos, etc.

THE ROAD SO FAR...To be a hunter is a life on the road. For a number of reasons, most hunters cannot or will not put down roots. Mobility is key. Constantly on the move, a hunter could be tracking a corpse munching ghoul in Wichita one day then have to beat feet to clear out a nest of vampires in Denver the next. The ability to put a town in their rear view mirror is also essential as the local law tends to mistake the decapitation of a supernatural man-eater for the cold-blooded homicide. This is often why a hunter tends to avoid visiting the same town twice.

While a hunter dedicates his or her life to protecting mankind, the tables can turn whereby the hunter becomes the prey. In the world of the supernatural, a hunter makes quite a few enemies and sometimes that demon they exorcised back to hell takes it personally. It will makes it its business to crawl their way back up from the fiery abyss to murder a hunter in their bed. This stark reality makes it difficult and unwise to linger too long in one place. No, for the average hunter, a house with a white picket fence is out of the question, its endless hours on the road and cheap sleazy motels with roaches on the walls.

SKILLS AND ABILITIES: If a hunter expects to avoid becoming ghoul scat it's generally a good idea to maintain a strong mind and body. This includes and not limited to:

* A thorough understanding of mythology and lore (both world and local)
* Proficiency in various forms of martial arts (or general hand-to-hand combat).
* Expertise with both firearms and melee weapons
* Ability to read and pronounce Latin verses and incantations (knowledge of other dead languages is strongly encouraged).
* Access to research materials such as newspaper articles, journals, books, and other manuscripts (do not fear to use the local library!)
* Knowledge of federal and local police procedure (a fake FBI badge and a cheap suit can open a lot of doors in a supernatural investigation).
* A hearty dose of common sense! If you think it's a trap then it probably is. If you need back up then pick up the phone. Most hunters will set aside the lone-wolf mentality if it means getting a job done right.

WEAPONRY: (THE SHORT LIST)

"FIREARMS: "

* Shotguns with modified shells packed with rock salt are highly effective when used against creatures such as ghosts and demons. While it won't "kill" a ghost it can disrupt their manifested form granting a hunter valuable time to escape.
* A silver bullet from a handgun or rifle will put down a werewolf with ease when aimed at the head or heart.

BLADED WEAPONS:"

* Knives, axes, machetes, etc., can all be used to various effect, for example: the only way to kill a vampire is by decapitation (a wooden stake through the heart is like bringing a hotdog to a gun fight, useless). Blades made of or coated in silver, however, can harm or kill a wider range of beasts such as werewolves, shape-shifter, skin-walkers, fairies, and djinn.

THE ELEMENTS:

* Salt: Many cultures extol the virtues of salt as a purifying element. It is why every hunter "worth his/her salt" will carry a much of the stuff as possible. Demons and ghosts are incapable of crossing a salt line or circle and can in fact be harmed if they come into contact with it.
* Holy Water: It will burn a demon like acid, enough said.
* Iron: Did you ever wonder why old graveyards have an iron fence? It was believed that a wandering spirit or ghost could not pass through an iron barrier thus preventing them from harassing the world of the living. A hunter can use an iron rod against ghosts, demons, and other monsters.
* Fire: There are a few combinations to which fire can be applied:

- Fire: On its own it can kill creatures such as wendigos and rugarus.

- Fire + holy oil: can be used to trap or injure and angel.

- Fire + salt: when applied to the remains of a vengeful spirit will put it to rest once and for all.

MAGIC, CHARMS, AND THE LIKE:

* Spells to summon or banish spirits, hex bags to curse or protect, and sigils/ wards to keep evil in or out. A hunter that doesn't use magic is fighting with a severe handicap. It's a shameful waste of a powerful resource that can get them and others killed.

It's not an easy life being a hunter. No place to call home and life expectancy is... well it's a special thing when a hunter can die of old age. A thankless job where the risk is high and the rewards are few. However, sometimes "saving people" and "hunting things" can be all the motivation certain people need.

It Beggining To Look A Lot Like Oak Moon

November is know as the Oak Moon. As the year turns darker, the nights grow longer, the moon is brighter. A time of reflection upon oneself, inner-searching, meditation. Transform yourself by learning what are your truths and lies. Perform insight spells.

Other names: Beaver Moon, Dark Moon, Fog Moon, Frosty Moon, Moon Before Yule, Owl Moon, Snow Moon, Storm Moon

Herbs: Sage and Chervil

Astrology: Sagittarius

THE OAK MOON ESBAT

The significance of each of the Esbats draws its influence from the changes in the earth around us. At this point in the wheel of the year, we have seen and accepted the demise in nature. We are taught as we look around the barren and frozen earth, that nothing dies that is not then reborn. We know implicitly that lying just beneath the surface, life waits to spring up around us anew. However, before this can happen the earth must rejuvenate to resurface refreshed and renewed with new purpose and energy. The Mood Goddess at this time is heavy with child - the Sun God, who shall be born at Yule. But before we celebrate the beginning of the return of the light at Yule, or the Winter Solstice (21st December), we celebrate the Oak Moon Esbat (15th December). It is now that we must take our lessons from the earth, accepting we all must rest before a new cycle begins, preparing to grow anew ourselves.

During the Oak Moon, a transition occurs, we move in this moon from death to birth, life renewed at the time of the Winter Solstice. With this in mind, it is a lovely idea to keep a candle burning from the Esbat to the Solstice, acknowledging the return of the light ahead, as the days begin once again to become longer. It is best, if you DECIDE TO KEEP A CANDLE BURNING, to use a contained candle such as a votive, which is designed for extended (and safe) burn times, always observing safety, which is especially important if you have small children or pets. As you light the first candle, recite something akin to:

"Fire of the Sun, illuminate the Earth"

"Bring back life with your rebirth"

"We await your coming, until your rise"

"To re-awake the Earth and nourish our lives"

THE CANDLE IS THEN EXTINGUISHED AT THE WINTER SOLSTICE, WHEN THE LIGHT RETURNS.

At the Esbat of the Oak Moon, there are many RELEVANT RITUALS. To "give candles as gifts" at this time of year is a WONDERFUL THING to do - symbolising our individual flames re-igniting at this powerful time of year.

Navadha Bhakti And Its Power

Navadha Bhakti

WHAT IS NAVADHA BHAKTI?, IMPORTANCE OF NAVADHA BHAKTI, POWER OF NAVADHA BHAKTI, SOME NAMES OF DEVOTEES, SOME ADORER WHO ATTAINED THE NAVADHA BHAKTI, BEST WAYS TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF NAVADHA BHAKTI.

Bhakti is the easiest way to attain the aim of being human being. It is the smooth way to attain the god, It is the best way to enter in the divine world of subtle energies.

As per Indian mythology there are several names who attained the ultimate goal of life through the way of navadha bhakti.

SOME NAMES OF BHAKT OR DEVOTEES:

Shree Ram Bhakti - Hanumanji

Vishnu Bhakt - Prahlaad

Kaali Mata Bhakt - Shree Ram Krishna Param Hansa

Krishna Bhakt - Sudamaji

Vasudev Bhakt - Vidurji from Mahabharat era.

WHAT IS BHAKTI?Here I want to say that bhakti is the "exclusive devotion" of a person towards the specific god. It is the exclusive love of a devotee towards the god and because of this person continuously remains in the feeling of his beloved god. No effort is needed to remember the god, no specific time is needed, no rituals are needed, no decoration is needed.

Bhakti is above all type of karma-Kanda. It is above all types of rituals. Bhakti is beyond any type of physical process.

Lord Krishna says that "DEVOTEE BECOMES I", It means that there is no difference between god and devotee.

Lord Krishna also says that among all types of yoga like hat yoga, dhyan yoga, lay yoga, raj yoga etc. BHAKTI YOGA IS SUPERIOR.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO BECOME A BHAKT:It is also a truth that there is no need of any specific quality to do the bhakti. The only thing which is needed is devotion towards the god, love towards the god, faith towards the god.

Morality and virtue automatically arises within the devotee. Every good things automatically arises in the devotee.

Tulsi Bharose Ram Ke, Nirbhay Hoke Soye Anhoni Honi Nahi aur Honi Ho So Hoye

A devotee doesn't bother about any thing, it doesn't mean that he become careless or non working person. In spite a devotee does the work more finely because he believes that the god is the doer or performer. He is the puppet only and this feeling makes him free from any type of worry.

NAVADHA BHAKTI :In bhakti 'Navadha Bhakti' is the term which is used by scholars. It means in bhakti 9 types of characteristics arises in the devotee automatically. There is no need to make any effort but these 9 types of behavior seen in every bhakt or devotee.

1. Sharavn means Hearing the name of god.2. Kirtan means Chanting the name of god. 3. Smaran means remembering the name of god.4. Paadsevan means remembering and worshiping the feet of god.5. Archan means worshiping the god with physical things like flowers, fruits, cloths etc is archan.6. Vandan means laydown and worshiping the god with love.7. Daasya means to perform action as per the instructions given in our epics. To serve in temple, to serve people with the understanding that god dwells in every one is also the form of daasya.8. Sakhya means feeling of friend with the god and feel happy by seeing the leila of god.9. Aatmanivedan means leaving the conceit and believing that the god is the real doer. With this fact when a person devote to god and say every thing to god fearlessly then it is atmanevedan.

So the above are the 9 points of navadha bhakti. As per bhaagwat BHAKT is superior then all. Bhakti is the boon to the devotee. It is the result of virtue of many births.

A bhakt is beyond fear, a devotee is beyond greed, a devotee is beyond temptation. A devotee can easily attain the samaadhi naturally without any problem.

So devote your self, follow the sacred path of bhakti, enter in the world of divine peace, get the utmost from this life. WATCH ONLINE THE NAVADHA BHAKTI SONG FROM RAMAYAN:

How I Almost Became A Yoga Teacher

HOW I ALMOST BECAME A YOGA TEACHER BY RACHEL HOTT, PHD

Teaching movement is not new for me. In 1979 I was an aerobics instructor for Gloria Stevens, located in Northampton, Mass. There wasn't a lot of training to go through, but since I had modern dance and jazz background and had wished that I could be a Broadway dancer (which I was not), this job was the closest to dance that I got. After that job I pursued Dance Movement Therapy, which allowed me to also move with clients, but this time rather than teach it was a creative psychology process. So I guess now, 2013 I can claim to be a movement enthusiast.

My non-movement teaching or more correctly training, developed as I led groups at the American Management Association in communication training based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a communication model for inter and intra personal communication. During that time, about 1984 I had completed my NLP trainer's training and was leading NLP practitioner and master practitioner groups.

So leading movement, leading people is something I have done for about 34 years.

Since 2006, I have been practicing Bikram Yoga, a hot yoga style. I remember hearing of it first from a client who would come in to the office from her heated class exhausted and exuberant. Then another time a student claimed that the 103 degree NYC humidity didn't bother him because he was practicing Bikram yoga. A Bikram studio opened in my suburban town in Montclair, N.J. and my husband, Steven, took a few classes. He invited me to try it.

I never completely understood yoga. Since I had danced as a kid, the yoga postures looked like stretches. I never could do a headstand so I was somewhat intimidated. As it turned out there are no inversions with Bikram yoga, so that was a relief. I had so many friends, students and clients who spoke about yoga and now my husband was encouraging me so I decided to go with the flow. Since Steven and I never had a chance to take waltz or swing lessons together, taking Bikram was the closest thing to dancing together that we could get. We became morning regulars.

During the early days I used to practice at least 5x's a week. Wow, I was becoming a yogi, or at least a Bikram yogi, which to some means boot camp yogi. There is no chanting in this hatha style yoga that Bikram Choudry developed. Basically he took 26 hatha yoga postures and put them in a particular order with a specific script. The 90-minute class is done in a hot room, usually above 100 degrees. The teachers are always adjusting the heat. I still don't understand the method to their madness. In our first three years of training in Montclair we were never allowed to enter a class once it had begun. Lateness was not tolerated. If you came late to class that was your loss and no class for you. I often wondered how we could implement that in our NLP classes, but it just didn't seem to work. The yoga student may miss that one class, but there would soon be another. In our NLP classes there aren't multiple classes during the day, so unfortunately latecomers do come in. Of course those people often work on timeliness as a personal issue to improve upon.

Sadly and happily we were moving back to New York City in 2009. I was sad to say goodbye to our yoga studio and happy to start a new urban adventure. We had learned a lot in our first yoga studio, our teacher often shared interesting yoga stories through the rigorous same 26 postures. We would have to find another yoga studio, so we could "dance together," which we did. There is no shortage of Bikram yoga studios in New York City and we found one that worked for us. The same postures, the same rules, although latecomers squeaked in after a breathing exercise or before the first set of postures.

Throughout this time I had taught the 26 postures to my friends and family, while on vacation in Mexico or with out of town family visiting. I, the forever "movement therapist/aerobics teacher," led members through the 26 postures. I thought I would learn the Sanskrit names, but even now I have only about three I can say easily and the rest are written down somewhere still waiting to be learned.

In our new studio, there was one teacher who would come late to class. On occasion he would have one of his office staff, also yogis, some becoming teachers, lead the opening series. I began to fantasize about how I would open a class. Each beginning substitute had their own style, one a modern dancer encouraged the class with wonderful metaphors, another a professional athlete was more technical, and then of course the beginning student who would soon become teacher, was sweet and nervous. I wondered what I would be like. I was supposed to be concentrating and meditating, but I found my mind wandering to the possibility of me being the teacher.

My issue about the class starting on time was mostly about getting back to work on time for my clients. Over the years Steven and I still liked to "dance together," but there were many times that I had to schedule my yoga class time at a different time than his. I was now averaging 2-3x's taking class. I didn't really want to start the class (it was just a fantasy), but when the class wasn't starting on time, I felt myself becoming annoyed because I had timed my schedule and wanted to have enough time to get back to the office. Since other people were starting the class I thought well maybe I could too. This is when the phrase, "Be careful for what you wish for," begins to echo.

One day I noticed that the teacher who was now typically late was scheduled to teach, and the office staff person was not at all experienced in leading. I decided and thought, "this is my turn, today is the day that I would lead the class." I went outside to tell the office staff person my decision and was surprised to discover that he wasn't there. No one was in the office and the outside doors were locked, which bothered me because what if we wanted to leave. Only later did I learn that the lock is on the bottom of the door would have been easily unlocked. At that point I made an executive decision and went into the yoga studio.

"Hello everyone, my name is Rachel, and our teacher is running late. So let's get started." I had heard the same Bikram dialogue for six years, I had practiced the postures on my own, I had taught it to friends and family, so there was something familiar in the beginning. What was not familiar was speaking in a hot room and having 10 or more students following my instructions. I got through about 8 minutes when the teacher arrived and he thanked me and took over the class.

I was excited, charged, my adrenaline had kicked in. I actually hoped he would be late again. After class I spoke with the teacher and we discussed that if he's late in the future that I would begin the class. This happened again. Now I was on a roll, my old dancer/aerobics/new yoga identity was beginning to blend. I found myself using imagery to inspire the postures. The teacher came in and I went to my spot. I did not mind him being late.

This happened several times. Quite honestly I have lost count, maybe five or six times have I now come to the front of the room, introduced myself, acknowledged everyone for being on time, encouraged them to breath, concentrate and meditate and begin. For my help, I have received free coconut water.

My criteria about time changed, when I had the chance to take leadership and have creativity in the moment of teaching. One time after class the teacher thanked me for starting the postures, said, " I would like to meet with you to discuss the dialogue, so you can do it the Bikram way." He might as well have said, "Now I am going to muzzle you and chain you to the fence." My criteria shifted again and I thought I don't want to lose my freedom. So I went back to preferring to be a student because that is what my practice is about.

Until one day again when the teacher was late and I started the class, and I even went around to students and gave them "helpful," corrections. Now I felt the power of being the teacher and it was exciting. Then the teacher came and exclaimed, "thank you Rachel, and you even had a teacher in the class!" I did not know that there was a visiting teacher in the class, and I had actually corrected him in the breathing section. Then my teacher asks the visiting teacher, "How did she do?" To which the visiting teacher replied, "Excellent, she takes leadership and knows her stuff." Then my teacher says, "Do you think she is ready to go to training?" (Bikram teacher's training is a three-month commitment). The visiting teacher says, "Yes." And there was the making of me becoming a yoga teacher.

In the locker room, a student asks me if I am going to go to teacher's training. The perception was crafted, I was now being seen as a yoga teacher in the making.

I told her I have a full time psychotherapy practice, plus what I didn't tell her is that I lead NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis trainings and run a business with my husband and I am lucky enough to take 2-3 classes a week. I don't have time or the real desire to become a yoga teacher. I can't even remember the Sanskrit after 6 years, so really now, I am not becoming a yoga teacher.

Somewhere early in my first year of taking Bikram classes I fantasized about going to teacher's training, maybe even my husband and I would go together. What would it be like to be one of the older students, would I be able to pass the rigorous anatomy and Sanskrit tests, and then of course I would remind myself of my already successful professional life. It was a fantasy. It took me out of concentrating and meditating. Yet now in some peculiar way I have been almost made into a yoga teacher.

Perhaps when Steven and I are in our 80's done with The NLP Center of NY we will consider taking the teacher's training. Until then I will probably be almost a yoga teacher for a long while.

SKY NEWS

Some 3,500 identically-dressed couples from 70 countries have tied the knot in a so-called "Moonie" mass wedding in South Korea.

The couples were members of the Unification Church and many were of mixed nationality who had met just days earlier and did not speak the same language.

The wedding was the first since their "messiah" and controversial church founder Sun Myung Moon died five months ago aged 92, of complications from pneumonia.

The latest ceremony carried a special resonance, with Mr Moon's 70-year-old widow Hak Ja Han presiding for the first time without her husband.

It took place in a stadium at the church's global headquarters in Gapyeong, east of the capital Seoul, where Mr Moon's elaborate funeral was held on September 15.

Such mass weddings, including some held in giant sports stadiums, have long been a feature of the church and one that "Moonie" critics have suggested is evidence of cult leanings.

In recent years, matchmaking responsibilities have shifted towards parents.

But 400 of the latest church members to be married had chosen to be paired off a few days before at an "engagement ceremony" presided over by Mr Moon's widow.

"Yeah, I was pretty nervous," admitted Jin Davidson, a 21-year-old student from the United States, whose Australian father and Japanese mother were matched by Mr Moon.

"Then all of a sudden she popped up in front of me, and I said okay," Mr Davidson said of his Japanese bride-to-be, Kotona Shimizu, also 21.

"We struggle a little to communicate right now, as I speak no Japanese at all, and she only speaks a little English, but we see it as an exciting challenge and proof of our faith," he said.

Nineteen-year-old Swedish-Italian Anna Misook, who married to Congolese-Brazilian bridegroom, said: "It feels very great. We get along very well.

"We met four days ago by True Mother's matching. And we are happy to be here and, yeah, looking forward to life together and yeah It's a good life, good, we're happy. We're really happy."

Lisa, from Trinidad and Tobago, first met her bridegroom, Hubert from Poland, on Skype after being put in contact by family and church friends.

Hubert visited her family in December and the couple decided to attend the event in South Korea to receive the blessing of "mother Moon".

"I've been waiting for him all my life," Lisa said. "Language isn't such an issue. We're connected by the church."

Ancient Vatican Document Sheds New Light On Magi Story

By Simon de Bruxelles

An ancient document found in the Vatican archives casts new light on the story of the Nativity and the Three Wise Men who came to offer gifts to the infant Jesus, according to researchers, reports the Times, in an article published in the Australian.

The Revelation of the Magi, reputedly a first-hand account of their journey to pay tribute to the son of God, only now has been translated from ancient Syriac.

Brent Landau, professor of religious studies at the University of Oklahoma, spent two years deciphering the fragile manuscript.

It is an eighth-century copy of a story first written down nearly half a millennium earlier, less than 100 years after the Gospel of Matthew, the original source of the Bible story.

The newly translated tale differs in major respects from Matthew's very brief account.

The Magi of the Bible have long been associated with Persian mystics, but those in The Revelation are from much farther afield - from the semi-mythical land of Shir, now associated with ancient China.

They are said to be the descendants of Seth, the third son of Adam, and to belong to a sect that believed in silent prayer.

Perhaps the biggest divergence from the traditional Nativity story is that according to The Revelation there were "scores" of Magi.

It gives a detailed account of their prayers and rituals.

The story relates that Seth passed down a prophecy that a star would appear that would signal the birth of God in human form. The Magi waited thousands of years until the day the star appeared.

Many students of history believe that somewhere in the world there exists a brotherhood, or order of initiates, secretly guiding the destiny of humankind. Evidence suggests that the Magi, the three wise men who visited Jesus soon after his birth, were part of this brotherhood, and that, using their knowledge of the stars, they were expecting the birth of a messiah in 7BC -- the historical year of Jesus' birth -- and may have acted as symbolic midwives for the event. This book shows how Jesus' horoscope can be seen hidden symbolically within the story of the Adoration of the Magi, and how the Magi's knowledge was preserved and passed back to the West at the time of the crusades.

The Curse Of The Pharaohs

While in the employ of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, Howard Carter was excavating in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings. On the 4th of November, 1922 he came across a flight of stairs leading down to a blocked door covered in ancient seals.

On entering the tomb, on the 26th of November, the body of the boy king Tutankhamun was discovered along with a magnificent quantity of funerary goods.

Howard Carter (kneeling)

entering the tomb of Tutankhamun

But, as the door of the tomb was broken open, the Curse of the Pharaohs was also released... well, that's what the likes of Sir Alfred Conan Doyle believed at the time.

The first sign of the curse being let loose was when Howard Carter sent a messenger to his house. On approaching the house a small cry was heard and the messenger found a bird cage occupied by a live cobra. Symbolically the cobra was a sign of the Egyptian monarchy.

Carter's canary was dead in the cobra's mouth. This incident was reported in the New York Times in December 1922. Carter's house had been broken into: by the Royal Cobra as worn on the King's head - see photo above showing the cobra on the brow of Tutankhamun's gold mummy mask.

Within seven weeks of the tomb being opened, on the 5th of April 1923, the Earl of Carnarvon died from injuring a mosquito bite. Meanwhile at Highclere Castle in England Susie, his trusty dog, howled and died at exactly the same time.

The media quickly embraced the idea of the Curse of the Pharaohs. Conan Doyle, an occultist as well as the Sherlock Holmes author, spread the word. The novelist Mari Corelli warned that there would be dire consequences for anyone entering the previously sealed tomb.

People appeared to be falling like flies. Carnarvon's brother Aubrey Herbert died on his way to X-ray the royal mummy; Carter's right hand man, Arthur Mace, died; the American railroad magnate George Jay Gould, who had visited the tomb, died; the French Egyptologist, Georges Benedite, died of a fall after visiting the tomb... the list went on an on.

But was everything as it seemed?

Translations of various hieroglyphs were published in the media such as: "'They who enter this sacred tomb shall swift be visiting the wings of death.'"

Another curse stated: "Let the hand raised against my form be withered! Let them be destroyed who attack my name, my foundation, my effigies, the images like unto me!'"

Sadly these translations were all fictitious. There were differing opinions as to the reasons for the deaths. Carnarvon, for instance, was already a weak sick man - but some newspapers claimed he had pricked himself with a sharp object - while in the tomb - and this released micro-organisms laid dormant for 3000 years.

A Pharaohs curse or not? The Egyptologist Herbert E Winlock compiled a list of more down to earth explanations for each of the deaths. But whose to really say, there are always differing opinions about such subjects. In life there are those who are willing to believe and those who will never believe anything away from the 'normal' way of thinking.

Pantheacon 2013

Last weekend Chic and I had a fantastic time at Pantheacon, the largest indoor metaphysical, occult, pagan, and esoteric convention in the U.S., held every year in San Jose, California. The theme for the event this year was (very appropriately) "Co-operation, Tolerance, and Love." This was our second Pantheacon and as far as I am concerned, the event just keeps getting better. The convention is amazingly efficient and well organized.

We arrived on Thursday afternoon and had a restful evening. On Friday morning we headed down to Registration and the Green Room for badges, programs, etc. By early afternoon the Vendor Room was open and we ogled the various goods. (If you can't find something wonderful to buy at Pantheacon, you're just not trying at all.) Later we joined in a panel discussion on "Community Connections" with fellow Llewellyn authors Melanie Marquis, Donald Michael Kraig, Patricia Lafayllve, and Thea Sabin, with Elysia Gallo as our MC. The discussion was well received and I think we all learned something from it. That evening we headed off to the Llewellyn party to hobnob with some very cool folks.

In the evening we attended a lecture on "The Modern "> "De Mysteriis. "This was followed by an "Invocation of Thoth Hermes Mercury" in the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn's suite.

Saturday morning I attended Holly Kraig's Intermediate Yoga class, which energized me for the day. And I needed it--because Chic's lecture on "Tarot Magic" later that afternoon was packed to the rafters. We quickly ran out of hand-outs (I had printed 65 copies) and some of our friends who had wanted to attend the lecture could not even get in the room. Immediately afterward we had a book signing at the Llewellyn Table just outside the Vendor Room. We spent Saturday evening socializing with old friends and meeting new ones.

Sunday morning I gave my lecture on "Enochian Color Magic" which also went very well. Later, our good friends in the Golden Dawn community managed to pull a fast one--we had a surprise appreciation dinner party for Chic in the OSOGD suite. Sam Webster's toast was deeply moving and Chic was caught totally unawares. We presented him with the gift of a statute of Hermes that was purchased at the convention. After the party we caught the last half-hour of Lon Milo Duquette's concert, "Songs of Love, Magick, and Devotion" at Club Max. Lon is fantastic (as always!).

We were back on a plane to Florida at a ridiculously early hour on Monday morning, but with lots of good energy from such a positive event. Many thanks to Glenn Turner and the Pantheacon staff for running and organizing such an incredible convention. (Again!)
