Holistic & Spiritual Awareness Festival

D drdjEverybody Knows My Name
I noticed in the Times Daily today, an advertisement for THE NEW EARTH Festivals. I have a friend who knows Walter & Rhona Rice and have been to the festival. I believe the Shoals is big enough to have this festival right here. Maybe at the Mariott or at the Webster Hotel where is also having a free "Stop Smoking" clinic.
Check out the Times Daily for dates and time.

If any of you do go, just remember to check out those who say they can stop smoking, etc., before you give them any money. Many of them are grifters who have some sort of "store bought" degrees in various arts. There are those who are trained (one a long time poster on here) and those who just in it for the money.

julie, anyone may call themselves a witch. We just all probably have different definitions of the word.

Cerridwen, do you know Romantica Exotica? The reason I ask is that the word "cerridwen" is also a registered trademark for a sub-group of Ellora's Cave. Since RE says she doesn't know what Ellora's Cave is, I was amazed at the similarity.

"Julie", "Fire" is just trying to protect you from all those charlatans out there who just want your money.
How many psychic fairs have you attended, Fire?
Know any psychics, oh I forgot, you know a "trained one". I know several, I don't think either of them have a degree in psychic ability, but they definitely are psychic. Of course, go online there are about a million "Learn to be psychic in 6 weeks" courses or you can buy the book and teach yourself. Wink

Let me be your mother hen , you dont need that crap. Wink

Secret arts and uncanny powers presumably used to accomplish things beyond what is natural-associated with spiritistic, occult powers.

After the Jews returned from exile, some turned to diviners, fortune-tellers, and false gods, perhaps for help during a drought. In reality they invoked wicked spirit forces to assist them, despite Jehovah's having clearly condemned all such practices. (Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Micah 3:6, 11; 5:12; Haggai 1:10, 11; Zechariah 10:1, 2) Those Jews were getting involved with spirit creatures who are in opposition to the true God!

Today some think that the wicked spirits mentioned in the Scriptures are merely symbolic of the concept of evil. However, the Bible reveals that the demons are real and are behind astrology, witchcraft, and some types of magic. (Acts 16:16-18; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6) The dangers of spiritism are equally real. People in many cultures look to shamans, or medicine men who claim mysterious powers, and to sorcerers. Others seek direction from the horoscope or employ tarot cards, divining rods, Ouija boards, or special crystals. Even attempts to communicate with spirits of the dead are quite common. Reportedly, certain statesmen have turned to astrology and spiritistic mediums for help in decision making. All of that is clearly contrary to Micah's advice that we walk with the true God, following his guidance.

Deut. 18:10-12: "There should not be found in you anyone who . . . employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah." (Divination seeks to disclose hidden knowledge or to foretell events, not as a result of research, but by the interpretation of omens or by the help of supernatural powers. Jehovah prohibited such practices among his servants. Why? All these practices are an invitation to communication with or possession by unclean spirits, or demons. Engaging in such things would be gross unfaithfulness toward Jehovah.)

Okay - I forgot how to spell her name, it is Ginny. I have been to her house a couple of times in the room sort of adjacent to the carport. Truthfully, she told me a couple of things that have blew my mind.

I really didn't think she "read" or whatever anymore......But, the couple of times I was there, I did see a Bible in plain view and she often spoke of it.

I really didn't know about all that stuff, Fur. My mom has always said "the Bible speaks against it".

Cerridwen (Kare-id-oo) is a name for the old one, a pre-christian celtic goddess, maiden, and mother of moon and feminity. She brings forth inspiration, intelligence and knowledge. So what exactly is Ellora's Cave?
I am amazed at the similarity, too.

The ones i've known refrain from giving any type of death warning. They may suggest you have something checked out, pay attention to or be aware of something, but they won't say you'll die if you don't do it.

Ginny used to set up at my mom's shop in North Florence back in the 80's, the beginning of Ginny's business. Sometimes, she would meet us in my car on her lunch break. I believe in her and really love her. She is a real special lady. She read for my brother from Nashville, on the telephone, that is how good she is. The last time I talked to her, she was having some health problems.
Her gift has also been handed down to her son. I don't know if he reads or not.

Hi all,

How sad that our public school system has totally evicted God -- yet, the University of Alabama will host a Psychic Event.

Now, this, my Friends, is surely a sign of the times. Public schools: Evict God -- but, Invite Satan.

Next, I would not be surprised to hear that Obama and Hillary are the guest speakers.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

The 5 wealthiest authors in the world

Forbes Magazine has released its list of the world’s highest paid authors. In a year when financial returns are a great source of consternation, some writers have still managed to rake in the cash. Top of the list is unsurprisingly JK Rowling who managed to make $300 million over the course of the year. The Harry Potter franchise has generated $4.5 billion dollars since Rowling published the first of the stories dealing with young Harry and his magical exploits in 1998 catapulting the author from an existence as a single mother on welfare to the billionaire status in just ten years.

The rich list:

1.JK Rowling
2.James Patterson
3.Stephen King
4.Tom Clancy
5.Danielle Steele

spell checkers.I sometimes wonder if these types of people were traumatized by a box of Alphabets when they were children. Perhaps they should write a long letter to the person who created Spell Check. After-all most of us know it's not perfect, and neither are people for that matter. It's obvious to me these people have extremely boring lives. I mean really, the last thing on my activity list is seeking out and finding misspelled words. Actually, it wouldn't be on my list at all.
You know some of the best articles I have read have had a few misspelled words, but who cares?

And Deep, I'm surprised. I guess I've never told you I'm also psychic. I don't see a J, I see an M. Does that mean anything to you?

I'm seeing a lot of connections to the coast, not sure which one, but a lot of water.

This is sooo strange. I'm feeling psychic too, and I'm not. I'm in a room with a huge window, standing next to, OMG, it's Fire and we are looking at the Tennessee River.
I'm back now, that was weird. Since I'm going to be one of those fakes at the psychic fair, I'll read your cards for free if you show up, Fire? Deal?

Maggie, unless I miss my guess, you've just been called me and I was earlier called meanasasnake--that's the forum member, not a general assessment of my personality which I freely admit. Smiler

While I wouldn't bet the farm on it, I assume that Monet and others of her ilk may imagine that everyone has at least 30 different characters performing in our own little Globe Theatre. I really need to start a list, sort of a seven degrees of separation type thing. The one who has been called the most people (and it's probably going to be George) could win a prize. Of course, it would be hard to calculate. Shimara didn't call me Joy for instance, as Monet always does. Decisions, decisions...

LOL I changed to Pink Darth.

Julie, about psychics - Ginny is very intuitive and if you want to know about going on a vacation or going to the dentist, then by all means, go to her. Most people only want to hear surface stuff.

Remember, that no one knows you as well as you do. The answers to your questions can be found within yourself. The Bible says the kingdom of heaven is within. Therefore, you don't need anyone to tell you what's going to happen. You can feel these answers inside yourself if you open your mind and heart and ask. You'll save 30 bucks and get information that's perfect for you!
J jjuliesmilesHall of Famer
I went to Ginny a couple of times. The first time she told me that she saw me around family I hadn't seen in a long time and a lot of balloons and cake - like a b'day party she said. Then she said she saw 3 children in my life (I had my 2 at the time.)

She had no way of knowing that the next day we were having a big blow out 10th b'day party for my son @ Chuckie Cheese and that my dad was flying in from Texas that I had not seen in years. That blew my mind.

I told her she was nuts about the 3rd kid. She told me she still believed there was going to be another child in my life that would be mine to raise. I had already made surgical alterations and decisions that I would not EVER have another child.

But, now, I am raising my step daughter............. Wink

Hi George,

Before I was a Christian; I spent many sessions with psychics -- and I can testify of their spiritual darkness. There is absolutely nothing good about delving into the dark side of the spirit world -- and the only thing that can come from it is bad.

I get a creepy feeling even walking past a psychic store -- knowing that it is full of demonic spirits.

You can play that spiritual Russian Roulette if you like -- but, there is no way anyone would ever get me within speaking distance of a psychic.

Yet, on the positive side, the dark demons of the psychic world cannot affect a Christian, for we cannot be posssessed by them. On the other hand, why would a Christian want to be involved with that world of dark spirits -- when God tells us to have nothing to do with them?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

And the prophets meditated and prayed to get their message from the divine. That is what we call pychics today or another name is oracles from the Greek. These visions are there for all to tap into and to get our own answers, if we want it. Or we can run blind and let others lead us. Our kingdom is within ourselves instead of a fictitious God that you apparently believe in. We are all One, and the same, that we are all interconnected in the body of humanity.
Inner Presence, Great and Mighty,
Inner Light that shines divinely,
Inner Life that lives completely.
Inner Power that holds securely,
Inner Eye, that see so clearly.
Inner Ear, that hears the divine always.

Psychics don't look any different than anyone else...The cashier at the grocery store, the teller at the bank, the policeman writing parking tickets, even the new member of your church.... psychics are everywhere, and probably within speaking distance much more often than you know.

Many Christian Churches believe in prophetizing, which is another word for predicting.
There is no difference between that being done within the church and psychics doing it outside of the church.
Being okay with the one in the Church, but saying God is against the one outside the church...that's calling God a hypocrite.

That division of things being okay inside the church, but wrong outside the church, came centuries ago when the church wanted full control of everyone and everything for monetary purposes. If the church couldn't control something, and thus make money from it, then it was labeled wrong and sinful.

Sorry, Ladies,

But, you are very wrong. You can claim that in your attempt to justify your own belief in psychics; however, if you will check your Bible -- you will find that Jesus Christ is God, not a psychic. And, John the Baptist was a prophet, not a physic.

If you want to compare the two, in the Bible, we are told of prophets -- if they are not 100% accurate; they are to be put to death. Do you know any psychics who are 100% accurate and would accept this challenge?

And, if you will check in Leviticus, you will find that God did not think very highly of psychics, card readers, mediums, etc. These things are not right in or out of the church. A prophet was sent by God; but, John the Baptist was the last prophet; for the prophets were sent to bring God's message to the people. Now, the Bible does that and there is no need for prophets.

Prophets were of God -- psychics, mediums, card readers, etc., are of the world -- a huge difference.

Sorry, ladies, there is no way to justify New Age spiritualism; for it is from the dark spirits. Christianity and New Age are mutually exclusive.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Religion of peace. Roll Eyes

Mr. Bill
Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:21 (If this is New Age, then I believe)
What does this means: We already are the Divine in manifest form. The only power we have is to become aware of the truth about who we really are. The answers are always within.
Mr. Bill, as you start chipping away at the false ideas or beliefs, something wonderful begins to happen to you. The Divine begins to live your life as you, the greatest yet to be, right here, right now! "What you are looking for, you are looking with." A quiet growth in "grace" and "character" begins to form and, eventually, you will grow out of your challenges because the answers are always within. "Change your thinking and change your life".

George, your daughter could be made in your image, look exactly like you, your DNA is in her, but she could never be YOU. Big Grin


In Romans, it says we are all the Children of Light. This light shines in all of us, it is our heritage. "God is, God as, God am." Only the enlighten ones can understand that. It's not about DNA, its deeper. Its about our connection with spirit, through our minds, and why our souls decided to come here at this time and at this place.

Where on earth have you been? This was not a pentagram. It was a Star of David! Your remark is tasteless and speaks of racism!

I neither have prejudices toward pentagrams or Jews. However, the same people who have prejudices toward one often have prejudices toward both. Actually I saw this as a double prejudice! Imagine the pointed lips and narrowed eyes, sometimes not knowing the identity or personality of the poster can be confusing. It is ok to have a pentagram in your floor or be a Jew. Or both at the same time! LOL

If you want to compare the two, in the Bible, we are told of prophets -- if they are not 100% accurate; they are to be put to death. Do you know any psychics who are 100% accurate and would accept this challenge?

And, if you will check in Leviticus, you will find that God did not think very highly of psychics, card readers, mediums, etc. These things are not right in or out of the church. A prophet was sent by God; but, John the Baptist was the last prophet; for the prophets were sent to bring God's message to the people. Now, the Bible does that and there is no need for prophets.

Prophets were of God -- psychics, mediums, card readers, etc., are of the world -- a huge difference.

Sorry, ladies, there is no way to justify New Age spiritualism; for it is from the dark spirits. Christianity and New Age are mutually exclusive.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill


The pentagram is older than Christianity and not of the "New Age Spiritualism". Read the Bible Mr. Bill, some of these prophets threw stones to tell someone's future.

Hi Cerridwen,

Yes, many centuries ago, the Roman Catholic church did instigate the Crusades and Inquisitions. Link

First, in August 1096, the Catholic Church under Pope Urban II launched the first of its Crusades (a.k.a. Holy Wars) or military expeditions against Islam (or those of the Muslim faith). Although most Crusades failed in their aim, countless unarmed Muslims and Jews were murdered by Crusaders during the Crusades that ended in 1270.

Second, the Roman Catholic Church instituted the Inquisition to eradicate heresy or opposition to Catholicism, beginning in 1184. In May 1232, Pope Gregory IX instituted the first Inquisition with permanently appointed judges to try heretics for heresy.

However, these were not done in the name of Jesus Christ; nor would any Christian church do anything to support or justify those evil actions.

You say, ". . .instead that we are all part of the universal mind and laws that govern each one of us. We all share the same path. In the end, we will all be at the same place."

The Bible clearly teaches the fallacy of this statement. The only "universal mind and law" which governs human beings is God; and we are not part of God. God is preexisting, eternal, and immortal. We humans are created beings. We were created in our mother's womb -- but, until then, we did not exist. We are eternal; for all humans will live eternally. The only difference is which eternal destination we choose: heaven or hell. Those are our only two choices -- and, we, each, individually, must choose where we will live eternally.

We will have an immortal body also. Those who choose heaven will have an immortal body similar to that of Jesus Christ. Those who chose hell; well, I am not sure what their bodies will be like -- only that they will be eternal and immortal.

So, to say that we all share the same path and will share the same destination in the end -- is blatantly false.

That teaching is right out of the New Age Religion handbook.

You tell me, "We are to work to understand that we are all One, that we are all interconnected. Everyone is an individualized cell in the body of humanity."

Once again, right out of the New Age Religion handbook -- and totally, blatantly false.

We are not all One. He, God, is the One -- and we believers are His adopted children; brought to Him through Jesus Christ. Those who are not believers have nothing to do with Him.

Is everyone an individualized cell in the body of humanity? NO! All believers are members of the body of Jesus Christ, the church. We are also called to be the Bride of Christ (Revelation 19:7-9). Yet, this is only for those who have, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) -- become born again believers (John 3:3).

All non-believers -- and that includes atheists, secularists, New Agers -- and all others who follow a different God, a different Jesus Christ, the god of this world -- have no part in Him. We are told in Romans 8:9, "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him."

We are told in Romans 8:11 that the Holy Spirit dwells within those who believe; He seals us (2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 4:30) as belonging to God. "But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him." Those are the atheists, secularists, New Agers, and all other non-believers.

Finally, you say, "You will see, Bill, that the churches are and will change their thinking to go with this "new age" thought. Not to depend on fear but faith, for we are truly the temple of god."

Yes, that is the desire of Satan; that all churches will be corrupted by New Age teaching; but, I am sorry, my Friend, there is no way that God would allow that to happen. I will admit that it sometimes appears that way; with the world becoming so secular, so New Age. However, we have this assurance to fall back upon:

1 John 4:4-6, "You are from God, little children (speaking of and to the believers), and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world (i.e. atheists, secularists, New Agers, etc.), and the world listens to them. We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

Who is "he that is in the world"? It is none other than our old adversary -- Satan. And, even though he does not yet know it -- he has already lost the war.

Cerridwen, your body may well be the temple of god, or the gods. However, it is not the temple of God. That honor lies only with true Christian believers (1 Corinthians 3:16).

My Friend, I implore you, I plead with you, I beg you -- put aside all of your New Age religion; all your false gods and false teachings -- and get to know the only true God. You will be eternally happy you did.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Bill, where can I get this New Age Handbook. I need to know what you are referring to. Can I get it on-line.
"And the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven." James 5:15.
The prayer of faith in an unconditional belief in both the ability and the desire of Spirit to hear and answer. This works because it is spoken from a place of faith, belief, and knowingness that what is being spoken is already done in the mind of the "one" who is doing the treatment, and that it is already so in the "person's mind" they are treating. We are constructively creating the circumstances "we choose" by giving direction to the "law of mind."
The trinity is soul, mind, spirit. In Genesis 2:7, we ALL took the breath of life (oxygen) into our nostrils and became a living soul. Our mind was formed which is the "tree of knowledge of good and evil", which is our choice to make, and the "fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith. Galatians 5:22.
As we align our belief system with spiritual truth and make choices in our lives based on TRUTH, we experience lasting joy.
So Bill, we all have a soul, we all have a mind, and we all want good into our life.
To be an evolved soul, we judge no one, condemns no one, but realizes that all are on the road of experience, seeking the same goal which is love, joy, peace, etc. Mr. Bill, have I missed the point, or are you worshipping a false god. I beg you Bill, put away your false god and follow the real god of love, joy, peace, goodness because you are now being judged by the way you are judging others.

Hi Skeptik,

More Atheist Two-Step, spin and twist, spin and twist.

You create a phony quote to make it look as though you are agreeing with another person -- when the only person you ever agree with is yourself.

If you want to write an insult; at least be man enough to do it under your own phony name.

But, I guess that would be asking to much -- to ask an atheist to be honest and also straightforward. I realize that is just too much of a burden on you. So, we will just overlook your attempt at deceit.

Y'all come back now, ya heah?

Okay, earthmomma, I'll buy you lunch--think I owe you one promised from Christmas. "Alluring Alice, etc.," actually isn't alliteration. It's assonance. "Beautiful Beatrice" would be alliteration. Assonance refers to words beginning with vowels.

Of course when we get into poetry, as in Poe, the sounds can come in the middle of the words and not at the beginning.

There will be a test later, but only for "Salsa Babe."

I assure you, I will bring my entire 'personality' with me! Freakin' Moron.


Well the fair is over. I don't remember anyone coming by identifying themselves as Freakin' Moron, but "Maggie" I would have given you that free reading is you showed up. Another time.
