  1. Mahalo Rev Rattlesnake, seems "Ed", the Editor, got that post, we all cool about that, since I'm on the edge and know not often when I cross over to THE POINT. Mahalo Bro Hex for pointing out the incompleteness of an individual if one does not consider there sin history as important as the good, a character is formed. I'm glad somewhere there is forgivness though, to loose the scabs of past poor to near evil deads... Prayer, Ritual, Best Practises, seems the ones who get the above are "RIGHT as Rain", are the TRUE leaders, spirit generators and the type folks to emulate. Anyone got any offers on what to better emulate? The above is so challenging, but once gott'n right, the face will shine like Ariel Sharons in the midst of conflict in God's name... (Put swords into plow shares - wake up right?) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Came into the "Music Room" to post 70's music here and threw in the Confessions because I abstract like a ..... Try Deep Purple and Mountain here thanks (or) phans... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8nAhuOoMU Have I suggested this before, the Rock 'n Roll explosion is to me the injection of "tons of Angels" into our minds, lives and souls... so many have run from it, WHY???
  2. The post are a variety, executed delivery to forum during editing. I make lots of errors and still would like unlimited editing, to correct the wild beast here in or add if new come by for a thread left behind. Here is a reprint of the origonal intent with emphisis on the you tube link to a 33 video of 70's Rock Bands. Here Rs some suggestions, mostly from the 70's and up... Artic Vortex 70's Rock Relief with leafs... Kop(tic) Shop - http://www.catholic..../confession.php A Guide for ConfessionThe basic requirement for a good confession is to have the intention of returning to God like the "prodigal son" and to acknowledge our sins with true sorrow before the priest. Sin in my LifeModern society has lost a sense of sin. As a Catholic follower of Christ, I must make an effort to recognize sin in my daily actions, words and omissions. The Gospels show how important is the forgiveness of our sins. Lives of saints prove that the person who grows in holiness has a stronger sense of sin, sorrow for sins, and a need for the Sacrament of Penance or Confession. The Differences in SinsAs a result of Original Sin, human nature is weakened. Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, takes away Original Sin, and turns us back toward God. The consequences of this weakness and the inclination to evil persist, and we often commit personal or actual sin. Actual sin is sin which people commit. There are two kinds of actual sin, mortal and venial. Mortal sin is a deadly offense against God, so horrible that it destroys the life of grace in the soul. Three simultaneous conditions must be fulfilled for a mortal sin: 1) the act must be something very serious; 2) the person must have sufficient understanding of what is being done; 3) the person must have sufficient freedom of the will. RememberIf you need help–especially if you have been away for some time–simply ask the priest and he will help you by "walking" you through the steps to make a good confession. Before ConfessionBe truly sorry for your sins. The essential act of Penance, on the part of the penitent, is contrition, a clear and decisive rejection of the sin committed, together with a resolution not to commit it again, out of the love one has for God and which is reborn with repentance. The resolution to avoid committing these sins in the future (amendment) is a sure sign that your sorrow is genuine and authentic. This does not mean that a promise never to fall again into sin is necessary. A resolution to try to avoid the near occasions of sin suffices for true repentance. God's grace in cooperation with the intention to rectify your life will give you the strength to resist and overcome temptation in the future. Examination of ConscienceBefore going to Confession you should make a review of mortal and venial sins since your last sacramental confession, and should express sorrow for sins, hatred for sins and a firm resolution not to sin again. A helpful pattern for examination of conscience is to review the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church: Have God and the pursuit of sanctity in Christ been the goal of my life? Have I denied my faith? Have I placed my trust in false teachings or substitutes for God? Did I despair of God's mercy? Have I avoided the profane use of God's name in my speech? Have I broken a solemn vow or promise? Have I honored every Sunday by avoiding unnecessary work, celebrating the Mass (also holydays)? Was I inattentive at, or unnecessarily late for Mass, or did I leave early? Have I neglected prayer for a long time? Have I shown Christlike respect to parents, spouse, and family members, legitimate authorities? Have I been attentive to the religious education and formation of my children? Have I cared for the bodily health and safety of myself and all others? Did I abuse drugs or alcohol? Have I supported in any way abortion, "mercy killing," or suicide? Was I impatient, angry, envious, proud, jealous, revengeful, lazy? Have I forgiven others? Have I been just in my responsibilities to employer and employees? Have I discriminated against others because of race or other reasons? Have I been chaste in thought and word? Have I used sex only within marriage and while open to procreating life? Have I given myself sexual gratification? Did I deliberately look at impure TV, pictures, reading? Have I stolen anything from another, from my employer, from government? If so, am I ready to repay it? Did I fulfill my contracts? Did I rashly gamble, depriving my family of necessities? Have I spoken ill of any other person? Have I always told the truth? Have I kept secrets and confidences? Have I permitted sexual thoughts about someone to whom I am not married? Have I desired what belongs to other people? Have I wished ill on another? Have I been faithful to sacramental living (Holy Communion and Penance)? Have I helped make my parish community stronger and holier? Have I contributed to the support of the Church? Have I done penance by abstaining and fasting on obligatory days? Have I fasted before receiving communion? Have I been mindful of the poor? Do I accept God's will for me?During ConfessionAfter examining your conscience and telling God of your sorrow, go into the confessional. You may kneel at the screen or sit to talk face-to-face with the priest. Begin your confession with the sign of the cross, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My last confession was _______ weeks (months, years) ago." The priest may read a passage from holy Scripture. Say the sins that you remember. Start with the one(s) that is most difficult to say. (In order to make a good confession the faithful must confess all mortal sins, according to kind and number.) After confessing all the sins you remember since your last good confession, you may conclude by saying, "I am sorry for these and all the sins of my past life." Listen to the words of the priest. He will assign you some penance. Doing the penance will diminish the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven. When invited, express some prayer of sorrow or Act of Contrition such as: At the End of Confession Listen to the words of absolution, the sacramental forgiveness of the Church through the ordained priest. As you listen to the words of forgiveness you may make the sign of the cross with the priest. If he closes by saying, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good," answer, "For His mercy endures forever." After ConfessionGive thanks to God for forgiving you again. If you recall some serious sin you forgot to tell, rest assured that it has been forgiven with the others, but be sure to confess it in your next Confession. Do your assigned Penance. Resolve to return to the Sacrament of Reconciliation often. We Catholics are fortunate to have the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is the ordinary way for us to have our sins forgiven. This sacrament is a powerful help to get rid of our weaknesses, grow in holiness, and lead a balanced and virtuous life. .
  3. Like it or not a world figure has now expired and the Last Will and Testiment is now effective. One of God's choosen one has passed out of 3 D into infina DEE. Hebrews, Jews, Isrealites the culture that seems to have bred Germanics, has lost a brother. Hope the loosening of Ariels Sharons' Last Will and Testiment does the Gods proud. http://www.npr.org/2012/12/30/5132166/reports-ariel-sharon-whose-life-and-career-shaped-israeli-history-dies Time for a New Mitzvah, from beyond back to us now.
  4. How do any of us realize these standards? Has this guilt trip pushed people out into the Nederlands? Are these standards too much? I got to pitch a tent in the confessional now it seems. One of my favorite jokes is " How does a piece of meat get the Kosher rating; a piece of meat gets the Kosher rating only after the animal the meat came from died of guilt ". One of my greatest Revelations late in life.... Having a big Polish blood quantium is that... "Polish jokes are not jokes; they are little scoops of the truth", ouch!!!

God's grace in cooperation with the intention to rectify your life will give you the strength to resist and overcome temptation in the future. Examination of ConscienceBefore going to Confession you should make a review of mortal and venial sins since your last sacramental confession, and should express sorrow for sins, hatred for sins and a firm resolution not to sin again. A helpful pattern for examination of conscience is to review the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church: Have God and the pursuit of sanctity in Christ been the goal of my life? Have I denied my faith? Have I placed my trust in false teachings or substitutes for God? Did I despair of God's mercy? Have I avoided the profane use of God's name in my speech? Have I broken a solemn vow or promise? Have I honored every Sunday by avoiding unnecessary work, celebrating the Mass (also holydays)? Was I inattentive at, or unnecessarily late for Mass, or did I leave early? Have I neglected prayer for a long time? Have I shown Christlike respect to parents, spouse, and family members, legitimate authorities? Have I been attentive to the religious education and formation of my children? Have I cared for the bodily health and safety of myself and all others? Did I abuse drugs or alcohol? Have I supported in any way abortion, "mercy killing," or suicide? Was I impatient, angry, envious, proud, jealous, revengeful, lazy? Have I forgiven others? Have I been just in my responsibilities to employer and employees? Have I discriminated against others because of race or other reasons? Have I been chaste in thought and word? Have I used sex only within marriage and while open to procreating life? Have I given myself sexual gratification? Did I deliberately look at impure TV, pictures, reading? Have I stolen anything from another, from my employer, from government? If so, am I ready to repay it? Did I fulfill my contracts? Did I rashly gamble, depriving my family of necessities? Have I spoken ill of any other person? Have I always told the truth? Have I kept secrets and confidences? Have I permitted sexual thoughts about someone to whom I am not married? Have I desired what belongs to other people? Have I wished ill on another? Have I been faithful to sacramental living (Holy Communion and Penance)? Have I helped make my parish community stronger and holier? Have I contributed to the support of the Church? Have I done penance by abstaining and fasting on obligatory days? Have I fasted before receiving communion? Have I been mindful of the poor? Do I accept God's will for me? During ConfessionAfter examining your conscience and telling God of your sorrow, go into the confessional. You may kneel at the screen or sit to talk face-to-face with the priest. Begin your confession with the sign of the cross, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My last confession was _______ weeks (months, years) ago." The priest may read a passage from holy Scripture. Say the sins that you remember. Start with the one(s) that is most difficult to say. (In order to make a good confession the faithful must confess all mortal sins, according to kind and number.) After confessing all the sins you remember since your last good confession, you may conclude by saying, "I am sorry for these and all the sins of my past life." Listen to the words of the priest. He will assign you some penance. Doing the penance will diminish the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven. When invited, express some prayer of sorrow or Act of Contrition such as: An Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because I have offended you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen. At the End of Confession Listen to the words of absolution, the sacramental forgiveness of the Church through the ordained priest. As you listen to the words of forgiveness you may make the sign of the cross with the priest. If he closes by saying, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good," answer, "For His mercy endures forever." After ConfessionGive thanks to God for forgiving you again. If you recall some serious sin you forgot to tell, rest assured that it has been forgiven with the others, but be sure to confess it in your next Confession. Do your assigned Penance. Resolve to return to the Sacrament of Reconciliation often. We Catholics are fortunate to have the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is the ordinary way for us to have our sins forgiven. This sacrament is a powerful help to get rid of our weaknesses, grow in holiness, and lead a balanced and virtuous life.

  10. Here you go... the radio show was pretty cool, lapsed into and out of it. http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2014/01/07 Date: 01-07-14 Host: George Noory Guests: Mitch Horowitz, Catherine Austin Fitts Well-known voice of occult and esoteric ideas, Mitch Horowitz, discussed his research into the history and prevalence of the positive thinking movement in America. As he looked at a variety of modern and ancient inspirational literature, he kept coming across the principle that thoughts are causative. "What we think, and what we continually dwell on has some authentic, and concrete effect on our actual experiences," not just on a psychological level but in our lives out in the world such as in jobs and relationships, he argued. But for positive thinking to work, people have to take actions to accompany it-- you can't just be sitting in an armchair, he added. He cited Ronald Reagan as an example of someone who was immersed in positive thinking, along with some occult philosophies. "Reagan was a model of self-belief, and he found the ability in personal circumstances or when he was facing personal difficulties to define himself in the strongest terms possible." Yet, Horowitz also noted that not everything that happens to us is the result of thoughts. "I don't believe there's anyone listening who hasn't seen somebody suffer an illness, or hasn't seen an innocent life snuffed out," he said, adding that we don't live under just one "mental super-law or law of attraction"-- we live under many laws and forces of which the mind is one. One of his favorite treatises on positive thinking is a little pamphlet called It Works from 1926. It contains one simple exercise-- make a list of your desires, and revise the list until you think you really have it right. Study it three times a day-- morning, noon, and night. Don't talk to anybody about it-- and "watch what happens!" Horowitz finds this particularly useful because it allows us to tap into what our true goals are, which may have become suppressed. For more, check out his mini-documentary: "One Simple Idea: A Short History of Positive Thinking." Horowitz also touched on his study of occult ideas and practices in America. New Head of the Fed First hour guest, investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts talked about the confirmation of Janet Yellin as the new head of the Federal Reserve. Yellin is well-qualified for the position, Fitts commented, but the challenge she's going to face is dealing with the two sides of the financial equation-- the federal budget, and the monetary policy which the Federal Reserve manages. The fiscal situation has really gotten out of hand in recent years as "we've had a lot more popularity for solving our problems with debasement of our currency than with balancing the budget," she remarked.

Not the positive thing that works for me, especially the mixed messages for what?

  11. This forum holds several posts that deal with questions we see in our support center on a daily basis. We have decided to put this forum in place to help answer some of the more commonly asked questions. While we welcome you asking questions here, please do NOT request your ordination date, or post any personal information, in this forum. This forum IS PUBLIC and if you provide your personal information, it WILL be seen by everyone! Protect your privacy, please! This area of the forum is specially designed for questions regarding the ULC.net store, and the Universal Life Church. For questions about the the ULCOnline forum, please visit here: http://ulc.net/forum...11-maintenance/ To ask this question better, one must know who is the Universal Life Church and whatever that body may be, how much of it works together and how much is independant? In either case, in the spirit of togetherness, what does the Church do to help people maintain or find supported living homes for those that are loosing ability to handle lots of details? Or what does the Church know as individuals and a body what may be the better, best place to be getting along with the things a mindless person does, like forget something and that thing not disappear forever, not just until relocated? I guess you get the point. Does the church endorse an Advanced Medical Directive and how have Ministers helped people pass on, instead of being bed ridden - how does one just "give-up' properly? If a person goes blind, where is the ability to cope taught from and about what do Ministers speak? Sorry to say, we all get stuck going whatever about the things that occur to people, who needs a horror show, reality does fine. All smiles built by blood sucking and lip licking, rrrrrr! So, hear an echo in this thread or see the troops come out to speak. Video time, See the Ministers, pretty funny, as in think about how to grow old, well, and maybe describe if life gets better then older folks in community Center REcreation Room meetings, doing chair exercise, to get a quality of life before life just stops beating on you and finally kills you.

  21. Discovering the true extent of your own selfishness. Well, the recoil is the treat, a new expanded sense of unselfishness races in to fill out the balance, congradulations. I spend a lot of time pointing out the wrongs of other people, but I've had a peak behind the veil tonight at how my life has been going and I am not happy with it at all. - Watch out for the recoil here, someone will knock the BE JESUS out of you. Consumed with my own problems, creates a spiral of selfish decisions and lashing out in anger and dispar Easy fix, when feeling bad go help someone even worse off, does real fine. It's hard to see what little I've done, when I have been given so much. Go with the "Crowns in Heaven" concept. When my friend accused me of male nursing him, I heard a ding-ding-ding, a Crown in Heaven to the man in the starchy underware. I guess this is why people start again and change course.
