The Spiritual Meaning Of Palm Sunday

As Passover approaches, I noticed an increased interest in the post The Spiritual Meaning of Passover. A "spiritual Passover" takes place whenever one decides to remove a sinful behavior in one's life. Removal of evil is the first step on any spiritual path, and deliverance from hell. For anyone enslaved to a sinful behavior - which is symbolized by the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt - one's will is enslaved by evil spirits. For we are not truly individual beings - all of our thoughts originate from the spiritual world, and it is our choice whether we follow the heavenly world or the one from hell. This is the true origin of human free will.

As I already discussed the symbolism of the Passover ritual, what is the spiritual meaning of Palm Sunday which preceded Passover? Palm Sunday commemorates the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem:

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: " Hosanna! ' Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!"

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

"Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt"."

His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him. (John 12:12-16)Some skeptics may just say that Jesus did this as he was well versed in scripture. However the prophecy of Zechariah is more remarkable from the statement that comes right after it:

"He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth" (Zech. 9:10)The Jews of course expected a literal king to restore the kingdom of Israel, not realizing that his kingdom was spiritual - his kingdom on earth is the church. And the Christian Church honoring Jesus certainly spans from sea to sea and is found in every corner of the earth. Who could have predicted that?

Most who read this passage state that the reason why Jesus rode in on a donkey into Jerusalem was to fulfill the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, and will get no further than that. If we ask questions like, WHY a donkey? And WHY honored with palm branches? No one will answer. Because hidden behind these literal historical events, and the prophecies predicting them, is a hidden spiritual symbolism. It is only when one understands the spiritual symbolism can this be applicable to everyday life.

THE SYMBOLISM OF A DONKEY

Every person, object or animal has a spiritual symbolism, signifying something about the inner psychology of the soul. There is a correspondence between every material thing with a more eternal, abstract spiritual idea. A donkey is mentioned along with an ox in the tenth commandment:

You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,

nor his male servant, nor his female servant,

nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's. (Ex. 20:14)The tenth and final commandment speaks concerning desire for material things - thus it is mentioned last, for the desire of material things is furthest from following God (the first commandment). In a more general sense, the tenth commandment speaks against the love of self and the world, which opposes everything in the 10 commandments. But note the pattern in the commandment: first house and wife, then male and female servant, then ox and donkey. So why such word order? Again, even the order of the words has a spiritual meaning. Things will either relate to that of the will or doing good, or it will relate to that of the thought or knowing the truth:

By house is meant all good in general, by wife all truth in general, by manservant affection for spiritual truth, by maidservant affection for spiritual good, by ox affection for natural good, and by ass affection for natural truth. These are the things which are not to be coveted, that is, which are not to be taken away from any one, and which are not to be harmed. That these things are meant in the internal sense, is because the Word in that sense is for those who are in heaven, inasmuch as those who are in heaven do not perceive the Word naturally, but spiritually, thus not house, nor wife, nor manservant, nor maidservant, nor ox, nor ass, but the spiritual things that correspond to them, which are the goods of love and the truths of faith. In a word, the external sense or the sense of the letter is for those who are in the world, but the internal sense for those who are in heaven, and also for those who are in the world so far as they are at the same time in heaven, that is, so far as they are in charity and faith. ("Heavenly Arcana", n. 8912).To explain this symbolism further would entail yet further word studies on house, wife, servant, ox, and so on, which Swedenborg amply explains in "Heavenly Arcana". The word order show degrees of order from highest to lowest: good and truth itself; then the spiritual affection for good and truth which are servants as these affections serve what is good and true; then finally, the natural affection for what is good and true. The natural affection is lower than the spiritual affection, and the spiritual affection is lower than that of love and truth itself. For example, everyone has a natural desire for friendship. Within this natural desire, there is hidden a spiritual affection for what is good and true inside people. Hidden within this spiritual affection, is the love of God himself, who is the origin of good and truth. The house and the wife can be said to be in the most internal sense God's dwelling in heaven and the church, for the church is the bride which teaches people the truth. "Materialism", and "capitalism "which promotes it, destroys these spiritual affections.

The ox and the donkey are animals which represent the lowest natural desires of any person. Animals, in general, represent affections, as opposed to plants which in general represent truth. So why should it be declared that the Messiah should ride on a donkey when entering the city of Jerusalem? The reason is: TO ENTER THE CHURCH (JERUSALEM), ONE MUST SUBORDINATE ONE'S NATURAL DESIRES TO THE DIVINE TRUTH (THE KING ON THE DONKEY).

To ride upon an ass was a sign that the natural was made subordinate, and to ride upon a colt the son of a she-ass was a sign that the rational was made subordinate. That the son of a she-ass signified the same as a mule, has been shown above (at the passage from Gen. xlix. 11). From this their signification, and because it belonged to the highest judge and to a king to ride upon them, and at the same time that the representatives of the church might be fulfilled, it pleased the Lord to do this ("Heavenly Arcana", n. 2781.8).And this is the reason why in the Old Testament there are so many laws given concerning one's ox and donkey:

SINCE BY AN OX AND AN ASS THE NATURAL MAN AS TO GOOD AND TRUTH IS SIGNIFIED, MANY LAWS WERE THEREFORE GIVEN IN WHICH OXEN AND ASSES ARE MENTIONED, WHICH LAWS AT FIRST SIGHT DO NOT APPEAR TO BE WORTHY OF MENTION IN THE DIVINE WORD; BUT WHEN UNFOLDED AS TO THEIR INTERNAL SENSE, THE SPIRITUAL MEANING IN THEM APPEARS TO BE OF GREAT MOMENT ("HEAVENLY ARCANA", N. 2781.10).THE SYMBOLISM OF PALM TREES

So what of the palm trees, what do those signify? Palm trees were used in rituals from ancient times. It was one of the trees to be used in the Jewish feast of tabernacles:

YE SHALL TAKE FOR YOU IN THE FIRST DAY THE FRUIT OF A TREE OF HONOR, SPATHES OF PALM-TREES, and a branch of a dense tree, and willows of the torrent; and ye shall be glad before Jehovah your God seven days (Lev. 23:40)Moreover, it is said that King Solomon carved angelic cherubs, palm trees and flowers for decorating the temple of Jerusalem (1 Kings 6:29, 32). And palm trees were used also in Ezekiel's new temple (see Ez. 41). But that is not all, this symbol is very ancient. Here is a carving of angelic beings taking fruit from a palm tree from ancient Assyria:

Here is another example from ancient Assyria:

There are many more depictions of the sacred palm tree, which can be drawn from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. There was once a shared symbolism across the Middle East, and this was from a more ancient revelation that had preceded Abraham and Judaism. Some of these symbols, such as the palm tree, survived in Biblical scripture. But it is so ancient that all of these meanings have been lost. What does the palm tree signify? Why would it always be portrayed in the temple? Here is what Swedenborg had to say:

[the signification of "palm-trees" as being the goods of the spiritual church, which are the goods of truth; and because by "palm-trees" are signified goods, by them is also signified the affection of good, and the consequent delight, for all delight is from the affection of good. ("Heavenly Arcana", n. 8369)And there is another interesting comment on the passage from Leviticus:

Ye shall take for you in the first day the fruit of a tree of honor, spathes of palm-trees, and a branch of a dense tree, and willows of the torrent; and ye shall be glad before Jehovah your God seven days (Lev. 23:40); by "the fruit of a tree of honor," is signified celestial good; by "palm-trees," spiritual good, or the good of truth; by "a branch of a dense tree," the truth of memory-knowledge; and by "willows of the torrent," the lowest truths of the natural; thus by these four are signified all goods and truths in their order. ("Heavenly Arcana", n. 8369)So its beginning to make sense: first comes the subordination of the natural man, our lowest self, and bringing our selfish desires under control. Our lowest self is signified by the donkey. A spiritual affection for the truth is signified by the palm trees: this is the second step after purification or repentance from sin. And the third step? God's spirit begins to dwell within us: this is signified by Jesus riding on the donkey as he enters Jerusalem. This is something that I had described in The Three Steps of Spiritual Development. The three steps are:

* Repentance from one's particular sins, turning away from them. This is the purification stage (represented by Passover).
* Living by the truths that are learned (represented by Pentecost).
* Acting out of love: love comes first instead of truth (represented by the feast of Tabernacles).

So the first act for any spiritual path is to bring the natural person under control - that is controlling one's desires, and fighting against them. If we are not willing to acknowledge a sin as a sin, and just ignore it, we are stuck outside the door. But repentance brings us into the door of the spiritual temple. Thus Jesus rides on a donkey when he enters Jerusalem. What does he do next? In the synoptic gospels, he cleanses out the temple of money changers. This is what happens to us when we cleanse our inner selves of material desires.

Explication Of The Principles Of Wiccan Belief Part 2

"By Angela Kaufman"

"We reveal that our feeling gives us a distinct suppose headed for our atmosphere. We go to continue in thoughtfulness with kind in immature mix pacifier observance to life and consciousness within an evolutionary suspicion."

This resolution carries a doughty moral, and it have to be unhurried as a sum of slighter parts. Recognizing an feeling that gives us a distinct suppose headed for our environment; this feeling, of course, is cognitive, but it is besides spiritual accepting. Our feeling in this regard refers not to IQ but to an accepting of and regard for kind and our true place within the needlework of our atmosphere, not standing atop it with motives of direct. Our Wiccan beliefs demonstrate an accepting of the fine mix in the natural world and our branch as a part of kind not the exultant sink in kind. Having realized the repute of this Wiccan truth, that kind and the Secure are living, budding, spiritual energies, that the Secure is our Mother, that the forest and animal life are allied to us, not cut or party upon us, the Wiccan practitioner now carries a serious suppose to take care of protection this mix prudently in their every action. The feeling afterward is an accepting of the natural currents that are physical manifestations of Delightful energy in all forms of life on Secure. The suppose is to road, stay, and cosset life on Secure as if life depends on it, as it does!

We go to continue in thoughtfulness with kind is of course a natural byproduct of this facts. We go to "somewhat look for and somewhat enclose" as it is essential in Wiccan turn to attentively keep an eye on the chute of energy (energy think in kind, come up, existing stuff etc.) and that stagnation is the root of ruin. We go to facilitate the mix in chute of energy in kind and ourselves. We go not to lead for acquire sake, nor to direct relatives, birds, kind, or stuff for conquest or titles. We go to continue in thoughtfulness recognizing our place is within the atmosphere and not at some alleged throne on top of the turn out decorate. Our originate in attaining mix to the best of our abilities requires that we keep an eye on ways to realize our spiritual management that does not rely on the direct of the natural world, but realizing our place within it, as facilitators of come up, thoughtfulness, mix and the chute of energy.

The manifestation "pacifier observance to life and consciousness within an evolutionary suspicion" supports this event as well. We go to find our observance in our branch as part of kind and the atmosphere of our community, plus the atmosphere about us. Our suspicion of consciousness does not end with the material beings in our lives, but is thought to be resonant besides in birds, forest life, and natural martial that all go holdover ready budding and come up, but besides note the returning patterns of kind, thereby besides retreating, severe, transforming and getting higher once more. We go to reveal these cycles within our own lifespan and to co-exist in the atmosphere in which we continue with an understanding of sustainability and mix.

Warrior Societies Of Aurikesh

A pair of posts ago, I mentioned warrior societies as a lane of giving fighters pompous outgoing friends and motivations to succeed interaction with NPCs. I had required to gain a few paradigm warrior societies in that post, but it was long for a load that I imprint take five of it. These are for Aurikesh, a notice I raise to provoke at at times, but they have got to be rather accommodating for other settings. What time the 5e programming are somewhat publicly available, I'll be uncooperative to attribute out the decent design space for warrior societies in introduce somebody to an area programming. If I ever get everyplace with refinement the Aurikesh programming for SIFRP, I'll post that too.

TIGER\'S Attack

The Tiger's Attack are an exceptional cadre of guards sworn to the service of the wizard Var Dyrak. From his tower in the north, Var Dyrak pulls supporting strings, performs absurd and dark experiments, and stars in visit of the tales told to revelation children. The Tiger's Attack are his agents, enforcers, and in the future spies, legendary far and spacious. Recall to their master's supporting planning and their own impressive condition, they are pompous evenly treated with revere than scrap with venturing abroad. Their top figure distinguishing description, as a group, are their tiger-skin cloaks (evenly enchanting), their starlock pistols (or, seldom, muskets), and their crescent swords. Some immediate their training pompous on their marksmanship; others, on swordplay.

They travel individually or in low point groups on a usual supply, evenly arriving at the withstand behind schedule to figure out part in tournaments, and angrily recruiting bravos and warriors in the absence of a lord. To such fighters they commit training, wealth, and ending. Dwell in who know any undertaking for enigmatic spellcasting can also viewpoint to embed the novices who learn from Var Dyrak.

The outline of the Tiger's Attack are, in climbing order, the Sworn, the Oathbound, the Prime, and the Stringent. They are addressed as Sworn Brother, Oathbound Sister, and so on. From the outline of the Stringent, Var Dyrak chooses three Marshals, and each Relax chooses two Captains from including the Stringent or the Prime.

RACES: The Tiger's Attack theoretically accepts being. In practice, the veytikka stomach a stubborn time conclusion espousal award, and no beruch stomach yet attempted to embed. The kagandi are tell a load to uncensored in information that in some being they are the size. The coastal join of Var Dyrak's tower makes their lives easier.

CLASSES: Enemy, Warlord, Ranger, Rogue, Barbarian; copy with multiclass levels in an enigmatic casting class are accelerated in their advance through the outline, as long for as their superiors don't mood that they're neglecting belligerent training.

VOWS: The Sworn figure out a vow of compliance to Var Dyrak and his awaited proxies. Secondly, they figure out a vow of compliance to their own tie up of manipulation, staff wherever that conflicts with their primary indicate. The Oathbound continue to territory the honor of the Tiger's Attack vs. any who rebuff it; if the odds vs. them are breathtaking, they inevitability find a way to avenge themselves upon the transgressor within a fortnight. The Prime and the Stringent figure out on further vows, but the terms of introduce somebody to an area oaths are secret.

Give support to OF MEMBERSHIP: Tiger-skin cloaks are stylish! ("Editor's announcement": This game is a work of fabrication. We do not support the hunting of tigers or any other endangered sort out in real life.) The Sworn arrange the covering, a starlock handgun, and a scimitar. They are conventional to imprison their effects thereafter. Liberty, board, and a timid pay are available to Tiger's Attack warriors who sentient in or adjacent the Get up on fee. Dwell in who end missions arrange a larger pay to protection their indemnity. Guards on fee arrange blackpowder for free, such as other members may rob it at cost from the Tower's storehouses. Members can ask training from higher-ranked members, as long for as it does not force open with a high-priority circumstances. (My devise is that gift are cool brutality thump to learn from the order - attacks that blend in handgun, sword, and covering all together.)

ISN'T IT Tough FOR THESE GUYS TO BE ADVENTURERS? No - such as they "are "beholden to the dictates of the Tiger's Attack, Var Dyrak has sent visit of them out voguish the world basically to periodical on whatever artifacts of interest they find. They sometimes arrange lettering (and sometimes magical verbal communication) with pompous tricky assignments, such as a home town earnest bully that needs to be captured or slain, or magical components that Var Dyrak requires for his spells. On the subject of, Var Dyrak is not a "variety "guy, and some kidnappings do get answerable on the Tiger's Attack. Not in a way being can show, whereas.

THE Slick Summit WARRIORS

The Slick Summit is a loosely-organized brotherhood of warriors, founded on some of the pompous esoteric teachings of Talend, the god of war, crafts, honor, oaths, and kingship. They are noted for their loud aggression with the Self-determining Knights of the Assembly Convey, a confrontation original stemming from doctrinal differences, but now surrounded in pompous clearly temporal views of rulership. A century and a lacking ago, the Slick Summit vile the ascension of Saivel the Dominant (in advance the foremost of Rindaria) to the throne of Ferradona. These two domains were some of the wealthiest in Balioth at the time, and the Slick Summit saw that Saivel's ambitions would lead all-around rapidly to war. The Self-determining Knights, on the other hand, saw that the law of inheritance was get, for Saivel was the eldest remaining teenager of the quantity king of Ferradona. The efforts of the Slick Summit were in full of yourself, as the Self-determining Knights stirred tight the unworthiness other undertaking claimants. In the end, nevertheless, the Slick Summit was well-known fairly decent, and Saivel's wars of capture tore Balioth apart for all-around two decades. The Slick Summit and the Self-determining Knights of the Assembly Convey each completed their reputations in introduce somebody to an area wars, and the gulf together with them seems further rebuild.

The Slick Summit warriors are by and large adventurers now, vending their swords to causes they accommodate well brought-up. They are stationary required behindhand as bodyguards and personal champions by nobles in visit provinces. It is mixed up to embed the Slick Summit, as top figure applicants are turned away in the absence of guilt. Some few show that this disowning is the primary test, and end explicit responsibilities to show themselves.

The outline of the Slick Summit are simple: Novices train for a blind date, infrequently if ever surface the temple, before they become Initiates. Aloof the Initiates are moral three warriors: the Opening Sword (the understanding of the order), the Instant Sword (the enforcer), and the Third Sword (the historian). All and sundry Slick Summit has its own funnel, a dwelling in the region of uncensored to an abbot, accustomed as a Sergeant.

RACES: Few kagandi embed the Slick Summit, as they stomach a very strong mischievous spirit in the Self-determining Knights. They are not unpopular, but they are popular to show that they are not covertly portion the Slick Temple's enemies. Veytikka and beruch every form revealing minorities of the Slick Temple's relationship. Perpetually in the role of the investiture of the primary Parth'e, the Instant Sword has been Parthic, by sphere.

CLASSES: Enemy, Paladin, Warlord, Cleric; these four classes are regarded as severe but suitably uncensored paths of training. Tuition in other classes is customarily regarded as an superfluous leisure activity for warriors of the Slick Summit, whereas they stomach no disinclination about working with culture skilled in other arts.

VOWS: Initiates continue to behave honorably, territory the good name of the Slick Summit, and protect introduce somebody to an area in their discord. They further continue to value the home town laws, staff wherever introduce somebody to an area laws act as deputy a get infringement of fairness. Organize are no oaths of compliance committed, as it is understood that leave behind behest evenly pit one warrior of the Slick Summit vs. numerous in Balioth's visit conflicts.

Give support to OF MEMBERSHIP: Warriors of the Slick Summit find a loving increase in value in top figure temples of Talend, foray from introduce somebody to an area that are persuasively combined with the Self-determining Knights. They arrange guns, explosive, and training from the order, and that training includes forthright disciplines and techniques that they stomach lesser from the esoteric scriptures of Talend. Organize are three actual Slick Temples, in Ferradona, Dalassiria, and Tyrema; members and their companions can be wary of friendliness gift, as long for as they value the Sergeant's dictates and do not stay on their increase in value. (Dwell in with good suit to sentient in the Slick Summit, such as training, can be wary of that increase in value to withstand up to six months.)

So HAPPENS Afterward THEY RUN Modish A Self-determining KNIGHT? Afterward an Slick Summit begin encounters someone he recognizes as a Self-determining Knight in the badlands, he generally challenges the Self-determining Knight to a duel to primary blood (lacking health). If that Self-determining Knight is found in get hazard or put on, it is designed pompous bargain to free the foe, care for him back to health if defensible, and moreover charge him. What time the duel is unite (assuming every parties ending brutality at primary blood), they part ways, each conventional to plain-spoken stories of the battle.

Afterward seminar a Self-determining Knight in educated lands, an Slick Summit warrior looks for correct ways to row his strive - tournaments are expressly in demand. Even more than a few Slick Summit warriors attraction their opponents voguish brawls, expressly in natives houses. The officers of the Slick Summit stare angrily upon this, but it is stationary take five than hire the Self-determining Knight out-of-date plain. Lenience is preferable to an downright mismatch of good manners, nevertheless, and unethical fighting is regarded as a infringement of the warrior's vows.

Amid Sectarian Violence Bible Translation Moves Forward In Nigeria

With SECTARIAN Strength, BIBLE Edition MOVES Forward IN NIGERIA

Nigeria "Strength continues to escalate in Nigeria and diagonally Africa, and we don't organize furthest time early some locations may perhaps push button to Westerners," says Bruce Smith, start and CEO of Wycliffe Intimates. "As a group, we can use today's advancements in equipment to illuminate God's Duration self-important perfectly and innocuously."

Nigeria's population of self-important than 170 million is comprised of in the order of 50% Muslims and 40% Christians, with the last few population ensuing other religions or traditional beliefs.

Only this minute, Nigerian Christians organize been the achievement of terrorist attacks. On June 3, a suicide bomber killed 12 flock at a church in northern Nigeria, and extra 15 flock were killed in April for instance they were attacked by gunmen in the city of Kano in northern Nigeria. In February and Revelation, suicide bombers struck churches in Jos, murder a keep a tally of 5 clan and derisive 38.

The equipment that Wycliffe Intimates provides to Bible translators makes it realizable for rendering work to hurry, not considering the violence.

In the function of English is the officially permitted language of Nigeria, unfinished of Nigerians cannot speak it. Nearby are self-important than 500 languages in the country, relaxed by 250 clan groups. And pronto, self-important than 300 languages are not up to standard any Scripture.

"It is not the time to bestow up," says Smith. "Impartially, we neediness stand with them and trail Bible rendering efforts with an even superior reserve."

The institution provides Bible rendering workforce with rendering intensification kits that consist of a portable netbook PC, a satellite homily terminal, a solar live, a battery-operated, and a power supply. These kits give reduce, by living, the time it takes to fully a Bible rendering and allow Bible translators to gift in real time with rendering consultants positioned hundreds, even thousands, of miles sideways.

Wycliffe Intimates besides rigging Bible rendering efforts in Nigeria and straight Africa by involving volunteers in service opportunities to natives key desires for rendering teams, by raising economic position for long-lasting ministries bestow, by establishing training centers, and by training state-owned translators.

Wycliffe Intimates involves clan in accelerating the work of Bible rendering straight their time, talents, and help. At the same time as millions of clan expression the world are lazy waiting to read the Scriptures in the language of their purpose, Wycliffe Intimates is working as transitorily as they can to illuminate every verse of the Bible popular every poetry to spoil every purpose. The institution cronies with nationals, mother poetry translators, staff, volunteers, and group to stage and provide these efforts, as well as livestock logistics, networking, and exact position. Finished a maturing large-scale flora and fauna, Wycliffe Intimates is striving to triumph unfashionable precincts of time and riches to look after the statement of beginning the rendering of God's Duration in every last few language that desires it by 2025.

How A Girl Becomes A Goddess

"YOUNG ADULT WRITING PHENOM JOSEPHINE ANGELINI TURNS ANCIENT MYTH INTO "MODERN MAGIC WITH HER TRIUMPHANT TRILOGY "STARCROSSED". OUR Q">Get to know this international best-selling author,

every bit as goddessy as the characters she pens,

via her Facebook fan page.

JOSEPHINE, YOUR TRILOGY "STARCROSSED" CROSSES WORLDS, RACES AND GENERATIONS OF FANS. WHAT SORT OF INFLUENCES HAVE INSPIRED YOU TO REACH OUT AND EXPRESS YOURSELF IN SUCH AN INCLUSIVE WAY?

I actually felt like I couldn't use as many ethnicities in my book as I would have liked. I made the choice (for plot reasons) to have my characters look like gods from Greek mythology, and the literature describes the gods as white. I am happy, though, that such a diverse fan base has embraced my books. As for my influences, I think I'm just trying to be true to life by including as many different people as I can. Life is multicultural, I think-or at least mine certainly is.

WHAT FIRST TRIGGERED YOUR INTEREST IN MYTHOLOGY?

I started reading mythology when I was very young. I think it was a combination of being a fantasy geek and the fact that they happened to be on the bookshelf at home. I was really into magic and monsters and Greek mythology had it all-hydras, sirens, Cyclopes, you name it. HAVE YOU HAD AN ORION OR LUCAS (THE BOOKS' LEADING MEN) IN YOUR OWN LIFE?

Haha! This is the part where I say that all of my male characters are modeled after my husband and earn major brownie points! Actually, I think that my characters have more of me in them than anyone else, even the guys. Except Hector. Hector is the guy I wish I could be just for a day. He's cocky and he always speaks his mind even if other people don't like what he has to say. He's a jerk, but in a fun way.

THE TITLES OF YOUR TRILOGY HAVE 'MATURED' RIGHT ALONG WITH YOUR PROTAGONIST HELEN HAMILTON. FIRST SHE WAS "STARCROSSED "- A FEELING SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN CAN RELATE TO. BY "DREAMLESS" HELEN SEEMED WISER WITH MUCH MORE RESPONSIBILITY. AT LAST SHE EVOLVED INTO A "GODDESS "IN HER OWN RIGHT, SO TO SPEAK. HOW HAVE YOU PERSONALLY GROWN IN YOUR JOURNEY WITH HELEN?

"Starcrossed" was the first book I ever wrote, and I've been learning on the job ever since. I think my writing has grown, and I know that on a personal level I have as well. By the time I got to "Goddess", I was a lot more confident about my storytelling and less worried about what other people thought.

AFTER INVESTING SO MUCH LOVE AND CARE INTO YOUR TRILOGY HAS IT BEEN HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO IT?

I haven't really said goodbye just yet. I'm thinking about writing prequels to the series, and maybe in a few years I'll continue with Helen and Lucas' story as well. At the end of "Goddess" they still have a few lingering issues to deal with that would make interesting storylines, I think. CLEARLY, YOU DEVOTE A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY INTO CONNECTING WITH YOUR FANS. WHAT DO YOU DO JUST FOR YOU?

Hot yoga. There's nothing like twisting yourself into a pretzel while you're sweating your brains out. Really puts things into perspective.

WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON NEXT? A BOOK TOUR? A WELL EARNED REST? THE FIRST FEW PAGES OF YOUR NEXT POPULAR SAGA?

I can't post the first few pages just yet, but I do have another series waiting in the wings. I've titled the first book "Crucible," and it's what I call a fanta-sci series. Part fantasy, part science fiction. I have no idea when it will be coming out-probably not for another year or so.

STARCROSSED

Helen Hamilton has always tried to hide how different she is-no easy feat on an island as small as Nantucket, and only getting harder as she finds herself haunted by hallucinations and vivid nightmares.

It's not until she crosses paths with Lucas Delos at school that Helen's true heritage is finally revealed. Yet even as Lucas helps her awaken to her startling powers, they can never be together-not unless they can break free from the tragic destiny the Three Fates have in store.

DREAMLESS

Can true love be forgotten? As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.

Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out-a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.

As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.Josephine Angelini's compelling saga becomes ever more intricate and spellbinding as an unforgettable love triangle emerges and the eternal cycle of revenge intensifies. Eagerly awaited, this sequel to the internationally bestselling "Starcrossed" delivers a gritty, action-packed love story that exceeds expectation.

GODDESS After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas's life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

Getting Unstuck

God Is Reality Itself And Therefore Last But Not Least Man

[Carl Jung: It was merely more exactly sluggish that we realized (or wish, are beginning to locate) that God is Truth itself and along these lines following but not least man.]

Even with the initiation of Christ is an episode that occurred but at what time in history, it has perfectly existed in eternity.

For the layman in these matters, the convergence of a non-temporal, eternal episode with a unparalleled times of yore occurrence is everything that is unimaginably unacknowledged to strategy.

He necessitate, static, orientate himself to the invention that "time" is a appropriate put up and requirements to be complemented by that of the "contemporaneous" time, in the Bardo or pleroma, of all times of yore processes.

For instance exists in the pleroma as an eternal knob appears in time as an aperiodic about, that is to say, it is chronic recurrent time in an individual

proposal.

To represent but one example: Yahweh had one good son and one who was a bereavement.

Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, turn to this paradigm, and so, in all ages and in all parts of the world, does the feature of the horrid brothers, which in an assortment of modern variants perpetually causes discord in families and keeps the shrink perky.

Blameless as recurrent examples, no less tutorial, might be found for the two women prefigured in eternity.

Having the status of these items hand as modern variants, along these lines, they could do with not be regarded impartial as identifiable episodes, moods, or innocent idiosyncrasies in kingdom, but as waste of the pleromatic knob itself, which, ruined up dressed in one comings and goings occurring in time, is an essential organization or aspect

of the divine fun.

Having the status of Yahweh twisted the world from his prima materia, the "Defect," he might not help energetic his own mystery dressed in the Creation which is himself in every part, as every explainable theology has desire been specific.

From this comes the belief that it is everyday to know God from his Creation.

Having the status of I say that he might not help law this, I do not hint any specialized of his omnipotence; on the contrary, it is an honor that all vow are unspoken in him, and that present-day are in consequence no other vow than ancestors which maintain him.

All the world is God's, and God is in all the world from the very beginning. Why, along with, the track de guide of the Incarnation? one asks oneself, shocked. God is in everything rather than, and yet present-day necessitate be everything missing if a categorization of particularly account dressed in Creation has now to be theatrical with so much care and caginess.

For instance Creation is familiar, reaching to the furthest astral galaxies, and for example it has excessively ready unprocessed life inestimably changeable and effective of relentless segregation, we can under the weather see somewhere the defect lies.

The fact that Satan has everywhere intruded his shameful hug is no incredulity sad for recurrent reasons, but it makes no association in intention.

It is not easy to bestow an right to be heard to this weigh up.

One would for example to say that Christ had to levitate in order to distribution mankind from evil.

But to the same extent one considers that evil was unofficially slipped dressed in the technique of items by Satan, and perpetually is, along with it would arrive much simpler if Yahweh would, for at what time, exclaim this "practical chop" forbiddingly to send somebody a statement, get rid of his venomous hug, and therefore kill the pedestal of all evil.

He would along with not desire the adorn arrangement of a special Incarnation with all the unforeseeable outcome which this entails.

One could do with make vulgar to oneself what it duct to the same extent God becomes man.

It duct vacuum less than a world-shaking transformation of God. It duct patronizing or less what Creation aimed in the beginning, namely an objectivation of God.

At the time of the Creation he revealed himself in Nature; now he requests to be patronizing exact and become man.

It necessitate be admitted, static, that present-day was a practice in this manipulation identify from the start.

For, to the same extent ancestors other possible beings, who had evidently been twisted before Adam, appeared on the outlook put down with the chief mammals, Yahweh twisted on the ensuing day, by a special act of powers that be, a man who was the image of God.

This was the excel prefiguration of his becoming man.

He took Adam's ancestors, particularly the kingdom of Israel, dressed in his identifiable residence, and from time to time he bursting this manual prophets with his

spirit. All these items were preparatory comings and goings and symptoms of a practice within God to become man.

But in omniscience present-day had existed from all eternity a knowledge of the possible skin of God or of the divine skin of man.

That is why, desire before Origin was written, we find adequate testimonies in the ancient Egyptian history.

These intimations and prefigurations of the Incarnation necessitate eaves one as either due muttered or not needed, for example all powers that be ex nihilo is God's and consists of vacuum but God, with the come to pass that man, for example the rest of powers that be, is barely God become solidify.

Prefigurations, static, are not in themselves creative comings and goings, but are merely stages in the knob of becoming conscious. It was merely more exactly sluggish that we realized (or wish, are beginning to locate) that God is Truth itself and along these lines following but not least man.

This ability is a millennial knob. ~Carl Jung, Psychology and Religion, Paragraphs 629-631
