Come, all ye jolly sailors bold,
Whose hearts are cast in honour's mould,
While English glory I unfold,
Hurra for the Arethusa!
She is a frigate tight and brave
As ever stemmed the dashing wave;
Her men are staunch
to their fav'rite launch,
And when the foe
shall meet our fire,
Sooner than strike we'll all expire,
On board of the Arethusa!
'Twas with the spring fleet she went out,
The English Channel to cruise about,
When four French sail, in show so stout,
Bore down on the Arethusa!
The famed Belle Poole straight a head did lie,
The Arethusa seemed to fly,
Not a sheet or a tack,
or a brace did she slack,
Tho' the Frenchmen laugh'd
and thought it stuff,
But they knew not the handful of men how tough,
On board of the Arethusa.
On deck five hundred men did dance,
The stoutest they could find in France,
We with two hundred did advance,
On board of the Arethusa.
Our captain hailed the Frenchman, "Ho!"
The Frenchmen then cried out, "Hallo!"
"Bear down, d'ye see,
to our Admiral's lee,"
"No, no," says he,
"that can't be,"
"Then I must lug you along with me."
Says the saucy Arethusa.
The fight was off the Frenchman's land,
We forced them back upon their strand,
For we fought till not a stick would stand,
Of the gallant Arethusa.
And now we've driven the foe ashore,
Never to fight with Britons more,
Let each fill a glass
to his fav'rite lass!
A health to the captain
and officers true,
And all that belong to the jovial crew,
On board of the Arethusa.

How happy every child of grace,
The soul that's filled with joy and peace,
That bears the fruits of righteousness,
And kept by Jesu's power,
Their trespasses are all forgiven,
They antedate the joys of heaven:
In rapturous lays
Shout the praise
Of Jesu's grace,
To a lost race
Of sinners, brought to happiness
Through the atoning blood of Jesus.
Satan may tempt, and hell may rage,
And all the powers of earth besiege;
Their united strength at once engage
To pluck a soul from Jesus:
The faithful soul laughs them to scorn,
He's heaven-bound, he's heaven-born,
He'll watch and pray,
Night and day,
Fight his way,
Win the day,
And all his enemies dismay,
Through the mighty name of Jesus.
O monster, Death, thy sting is drawn,
O, boasting Grave, the trophies won;
The saint triumphs through grace alone,
To praise the name of Jesus.
At length he bids the world adieu,
With all its vanity and show-
The soul it flies,
Through the skies,
To Paradise,
And joins its voice,
In rapturous lays of love to praise
The glorious name of Jesus.
When Gabriel's awful trump shall sound,
And rend the rocks, convulse the ground,
And gives to time her upmost bound,
Ye dead arise to judgment.
See lightnings flash and thunders roll,
The earth wrapped like a parchment scroll:
Comets blaze,
Singers raise,
Dread amaze,
And horrors seize
The guilty sons of Adam's race,
Unsaved from sin by Jesus.
The christian, filled with rapturous joy,
Midst flaming worlds he mounts on high,
To meet his Savior in the sky,
And see the face of Jesus.
Then soul and body reunite,
And filled with glory infinite:
Blessed day,
Christians say,
Will you pray,
That we may
All join that happy company,
To praise the name of Jesus.

The ninth century B.C. was a time of great uprising and fighting in the regions surrounding Egypt. The river Nile was at flood stage many times during this century. The weather patterns were extremely erratic. The Pharaoh in power for a good part of this century was claiming and fighting for control of most areas where the sphinxes were located. He had knowledge of secrets that were buried in one of the sphinxes; he knew not which one and wanted to possess all of them to be certain he had access to this knowledge.
Fortunately for humanity he met a quick death when he finally had gained ownership of the land holding the sphinx that held the secrets. If he had not met his death, he could certainly have gained control of the world with this knowledge. This knowledge is so well hidden that none today will find it. These secrets had been the way the pyramids had been built. They are the way the cities in the new age will be built.
Jesus also had the knowledge of the mysteries and this is how he performed his miracles. He used the mysteries for good always. The Pharaoh would have used them for evil had he gotten hold of them. These mysteries included:
1. Solar Energy
2. Healing
3. Levitation
4. Out of Body Travel
5. Dematerialization
6. Thought Transference
7. Suspended Animation
8. Vibrating Atoms
9. Honing
These all must necessarily employ great mind power, which must be developed through evolution. There are a few entities able to weakly do some of these mysteries, but it will be a long way down the road before they all can be restored.
1. Solar Energy is not being properly used as of now. The sun's rays need to be reflected before being absorbed in solar collectors. The reflections intensify the heat and at the same time eliminate unnecessary rays. This miniaturizes the apparatus needed on the home making it much less expensive to install. The way it is being done now is a laborious system the other would be streamlined.
2. Healing by thought or touch is all done with energy. If the illness is indeed caused by physical circumstances, then touch is used. If it can be determined that it is the emotional body affecting the physical, then thought is used. The healer must have an extremely powerful mental body to perform this. A knowledge of the energy lines in bodies combined with an innate understanding of psychology and the use of intuition is indicated.
3. Levitation also takes a strong mental ability. One focuses all three bodies (physical, mental and emotional) on the object to be moved and with the third eye, pictures it in its new position. This obviously can't be done until the third eye is restored and the bodies brought into alignment.
4. Out of Body Travel is the ability of the mind to travel to another location than where the physical form is. This is a natural state for humanity and is done effortlessly by many already. It usually comes into play in unenlightened ones in times of emergency or great emotional stress. It should not be used on a whim to interfere in anyone's personal life.
5. Dematerialization is done by organizing the atoms in one's body to vibrate with increased intensity. This is done with ease by very highly evolved entities, but is almost impossible or totally impossible for those in incarnation today, unless from a distant star. Even then it is very difficult due to the heavy atmosphere on earth. In the new age, the increase in the rate of the energy waves, plus the clean non-polluted atmosphere, will lend itself to making this easier.
6. Thought Transference - for thought transference, two must be vibrating at exactly the same level. They must necessarily want to send a message and be open to receive one.
7. Suspended Animation is very dangerous. It is energy powerful enough to stop vibrations of atoms. It is one of the most powerful forces in the universe and would only be used in dire emergencies.
8. Honing is done in the throat and sets up a force field around individuals to repel harmful vibrations. The energy field at times can be so forceful as to drive back another entity trying to approach the one using this.
9. Vibrating Atoms or devas are miniature tops, swirling units of energy. They may be compared to dust devils, only on an infinitesimal scale. Enough of them, commanded by mental power, thought transference, can be induced to move building materials where they need to be. Needless to say, the wrong use of these forces could have serious consequences. Compare them also with the force tornados have and feats that dust devils can perform.
Healing
The physical healings Jesus did, and those being done now, are all done with mental power, mind control. There is a way that this can be done instantly, but takes one in whom the psychic powers have been honed to their sharpest degree. This healing power potential is latent in all humanity. Very few ever develop it and certainly no one has ever developed it to the degree that Jesus did. This was part of the plan of His incarnation so He was well grounded and trained in this before entry. The mysteries locked inside the pyramids explain this training and give detailed instructions as to how to develop this potential. If these were to be found by anyone today, they would be used for mercenary purposes.
Miracles
As far as stories of other "miracles" He performed, most were blown out of proportion in the retelling. He did on several occasions, make use of levitation and solar power but never used suspended animation, though He was capable of it.
The human race simply is not developed enough to be able to do miracles on a daily basis. It has nothing to do with their spiritual growth. It has everything to do with physical evolution. It would have to do with the combining of genes that takes place before the entity is born so there are limitations on what we can do to create our own reality. These limitations are imposed by our physical body. There are no limitations to creating our own reality when we leave the earth plane, as earth is the only plane we will progress through where we are caught in matter and have this limitation imposed on us.
We cannot walk on water because our flesh and bones do not have the buoyancy that is needed to walk on water. They do not have this buoyancy because they do not have the right DNA makeup. Jesus was one who had this makeup way before his time. He had a different DNA structure, a much more progressed DNA structure, than anyone has had before or since.
Humans will eventually evolve to where they can do miracles in the physical body. The mental body, the
animal-based brain, will have much to do with this progress and it is progressing quite rapidly. Do not misunderstand. The DNA must progress first. The actual atomic structure of the human form must progress first, to where the buoyancy of the form would be there. Then it will be a combination of the animal-based brain mind and the desire of the soul wanting to do miracles that will allow it to happen. This will be, perhaps, between 500 and 1,000 years into the future before this will take place.
Jesus gave off very strong vibrations, much stronger than any today. Perhaps only because of the purer atmosphere, they seemed stronger and could be felt by those who got near Him, even though these people were not sensitive. The mystery of honing which can be described as being like the purring of a cat, is what enabled Him to have these strong vibrations. Honing can be used to repel or attract, whichever is wanted or necessary. He used it to attract the people. He was truly a great psychic and still possesses these powers today. He never used any psychic power for anything other than good.

The belief in reincarnation is one that finds its roots in many different ancient cultures. Throughout history these cultures have borrowed different points from each other to form a variety of hybrid belief systems that focus on reincarnation. Probably more than any other aspect of faith, this point is one where people pick and choose what they want to believe in order to develop a system that fits within their world view and which works well for them.
At their core, all systems of reincarnation share a notion that the life one is currently living on earth may not be the first or last. While they may differ in the number of lives that one can live, there is generally a shared presupposition that one will continue to be reborn until some cosmic or spiritual quest is completed. Some New Age philosophies and even some sects of Hinduism suggest that we may be reborn as any number of things that don't necessarily have to be human (I.e. the sacred cows of India). Other ancient religions, like Buddhism will teach that humans are reincarnated as humans
The purposes of reincarnation are just as varied as its many backgrounds. In some religions, people are re-born in an effort to achieve perfection. Each life cycle is an opportunity to gain more wisdom and to increase your status. The lessons and character that you gain in your present life will then be carried on to the next. Other religions believe that each life cycle is another step in becoming one with the divine forces of the universe. The Buddhist notion of Nirvana is one example of this. As you seek enlightenment in each life, you begin to lose your sense of individuality and to see the true connection between your spirit and the universe as a whole.
Some of the New Age versions of reincarnation simply hold the idea that the spirit is eternal and that, though the body may die, the spirit will move on and find a new home. The soul will live on indefinitely, always manifesting itself in some form of the persons true self. There is no higher goal or sense of achievement other than to live each life to the fullest extent possible.
Even western religions that are based in and around the Christian tradition teach a form of reincarnation. The spirit is not re-born on earth as a carnal being, but they do teach that the soul is eternal and will exist in a state of eternal harmony with God. In this case the reincarnation only happens once, and most Christians would say that, upon death, they are really turning back into the true, unblemished manifestation of themselves. Though they would probably never use the word reincarnation, the phrase "born again" is an intricate part of their vocabulary. This isn't to say that it is the same belief as the Eastern variations of reincarnation, but it does give credence to the idea that new life after the one we are living now is essential to nearly every major faith system in the world.
In an effort to better understand the intricacies of each faith system's beliefs concerning reincarnation, a full understanding of the faith system as a whole must be obtained. Without a basic knowledge of what is to be achieved in life then it isn't possible to truly appreciate the teachings and devotion of a religions practitioners. We should all take the time to understand why people believe what they do before we mock what they believe. If we haven't taken the time to look at the world from their point of view then it isn't likely that you'll understand.

This is another method to practice the Vashikaran Voodoo Doll attraction experiment. The procedure and the mantra is only a slight variation of the one originally described in the previous post; read it - HERE. However the same disclaimer is also applicable to this mantra also; for only experienced practitioners; so be careful.
On a Saturday prepare a cloth doll and then write the name of the person who you want to put a spell of attraction on the stomach of this Voodoo Doll. Such Dolls are normally prepared by stitching a cloth pattern having a likeliness of a Doll and stuffing cotton inside it and then painting the eyes, mouth and the other body parts.
Then chant the Vashikaran Mantra 108 times and then show the doll to the person. This it said to put an attraction spell on that person.

In the past forty years, meditation has entered the mainstream of modern Western culture, prescribed by physicians and practiced by everyone from business executives, artists, and scientists to students, teachers, military personnel, and - on a promising note - politicians. Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan meditates every morning and has become a major advocate of mindfulness and meditation, as he describes in his book, A Mindful Nation: How a Simple Practice Can Help Us Reduce Stress, Improve Performance, and Recapture the American Spirit. Despite the growing popularity of meditation, prevailing misconceptions about the practice are a barrier that prevents many people from trying meditation and receiving its profound benefits for the body, mind, and spirit. Here are seven of the most common meditation myths dispelled.
Myth #1: Meditation is difficult.
TRUTH: This myth is rooted in the image of meditation as an esoteric practice reserved only for saints, holy men, and spiritual adepts. In reality, when you receive instruction from an experienced, knowledgeable teacher, meditation is easy and fun to learn. The techniques can be as simple as focusing on the breath or silently repeating a mantra. One reason why meditation may seem difficult is that we try too hard to concentrate, we're overly attached to results, or we're not sure we are doing it right. In our experience at the Chopra Center, learning meditation from a qualified teacher is the best way to ensure that the process is enjoyable and you get the most from your practice. A teacher will help you understand what you're experiencing, move past common roadblocks, and create a nourishing daily practice.

The above is another name the Prayer Book gives today. And so on this last day of the Pentecost season, I will take the opportunity to remind our readers of three posts regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit beginning Easter Monday (when the Epistle from Acts 10 refers to Jesus being "anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power").
Anglican Catholicism and the Charismata
The Charismatic reality of the Church
Being Filled with the Spirit
A subsequent post quoting Bishop Brian Iverach's email to me sent in support of the above articles created some controversy. At least some of this controversy seemed to be due to ascribing views to the Bishop (such as denigrating medical science) which could only be extracted from the letter by ignoring the actual words and illegitimately attempting to read between the lines. There was even a reference to the completely irrelevant heresy of Christian Science, as if to prove guilt by a non-existent association.
In order that the record be set straight, here are some further thoughts from Bp Iverach, written by him to me after I asked him to look at the thread and its comments:
The plus in the discussion is that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit have been in focus, with mention of the wide spread application of such gifts. In the case of the miraculous healing of Lana's eye, this did not lead her into Christian Science. It lead her into the healing ministry in the Body of Christ, the Church,... The full impact that her ministry has had on others is known unto God. Most recently we praised God for the healing she received at the hands of a highly qualified surgeon and in nursing care during many weeks in hospital.
The down side of the discussion has been the distracting focus on the exercise of the gift of glossolalia, especially in public, and the shame of some disparaging remarks about healing miracles. As Anglicans we have the discipline to apply all the gifts as mentioned by the blessed Apostle, such discipline not prevalent in the practice of some of our Pentecostal brothers and sisters. Should the excesses of modern day Corinthians preclude ministry in the Gifts of the Spirit? No. Are any gifts (apart from those specifically I speak from experience; of what I have personally seen in an Anglican congregation when the Spirit of God moved upon the people. All was in good order. The occasional prophesies were given during the offertory preparations or during the ablutions after communion. There was no grandstanding whatsoever. Nothing was forced. Worship was not disrupted. The prophetic blessings were applied in the life of the parish. The congregation grew in numbers exponentially and also in love and service of the Lord, in ministry outreach into the local community, and into the barrios of Mexico. The youth went over the boarder to help build housing and schools for the poor, shipments of beans were regularly delivered, and all the time the parish contributed the largest tithe to the diocese. We speak of the fruits of the Spirit. All glory to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
The main difference between my liturgical suggestion and the Bishop's past experiences is that I put the allocated time for prophetic ministry before the Sermon as "communications... enjoined by lawful authority", to quote the Canadian 1962 Book of Common Prayer, whereas the Bishop mentions the Offertory and Post-Communion times. The latter options, effectively corresponding to pre- and post- Consecration thanksgivings, seem not dissimilar to the timing implied in 1 Corinthians 14.16 and the Didache 10. The reasons for my suggestion were given in the first article above.
It is also appropriate here to thank my Metropolitan for his kind, eirenic words in this post. I would like to make two observations, however, about elements of what was said therein.
To begin at the end, so to speak, the Archbishop finished with the following paragraph:
"I am not a 'cessationist'. I believe in miracles and do not doubt that God can infuse knowledge of unknown tongues or prophecy. I do not presume to judge any man's personal religious experience, except by the proper standards of charity, of consistency with the known and authorized teaching of the universal Church, and of the spiritual fruit of Christian living. But I also believe that where the faith is truly taught and the sacraments are rightly administered, personal religious experience is mainly of private significance."
While the last sentence makes perfect sense if referring to the gift of tongues uninterpreted, which was the subject of much of the previous discussion, it cannot be said to apply to other gifts such as the gifts of prophecy or tongues as interpreted. Why not? Because St Paul makes abundantly clear that such gifts are provided by God specifically to edify the Church as a whole. They are not meant to be limited to personal edification (1 Co. 14.3-5). And it would be wrong of us to pretend that any gift God truly gives is an optional extra that we don't need because we have the sacraments and orthodox teaching!
Which brings me to my next qualifying point. Archbishop Haverland also said: "When the Catholic faith is alive and well, however, neo-pentecostalism tends to be at best unnecessary and at worst divisive." If neo-pentecostalism refers to the belief (common among Pentecostals) that all must speak in tongues or demonstrate some other outwardly miraculous gift, or they cannot be filled with the Spirit, that is one thing. And that belief has not been defended here. However, if neo-pentecostalism was taken to refer simply to the resurgence and use of all the charisms, including among the laity, the statement above would suffer the same problem I mentioned at the end of the previous paragraph. In the latter connotation, "neo-pentecostalism" is perfectly in accord with the Catholic faith and any division caused should not be assumed to be the fault of those simply wanting to exercise or experience the benefit of, in decency and order, true gifts of the Holy Spirit designed to edify the Church.

Children and magic go together. It is wonderful to see the look of amazement on a child's face when they watch a magician perform. But it is also terrific if a child has a desire to learn these skills. There are many easy magic tricks for kids; you can find resources online or even in a library. Learning these illusions will not only be a fun experience, there are actually some educational benefits involved. These easy magic tricks for kids help to develop mental and manual skills.
Improved Memorization
Magicians know that the details of every trick need to be committed to memory. Even the easy magic tricks for kids carry that principle. The child must learn the steps of the trick, the hand motions that go along with the trick and also the conversation to keep the audience's attention and the level of suspense high.
When kids learn easy magic tricks, they are using that portion of their brain that involves memory. Every trick they learn helps to improve the memory process and can also develop excellent study habits.
Increased Manual Dexterity
The magician's hands say almost as much as his voice. Easy magic tricks for kids allow them to increase their manual dexterity through the illusive actions of a magic performance. Dealing cards, palming a coin, or swiftly moving props all requires hours of practice. This, in turn, leads to supple and swift movement of the hands.
Hand eye coordination becomes more highly developed. The part of the brain responsible for these movements is activated and enlarged, and once again, the child may benefit in other ways. Easy magic tricks for kids are not only educational but develops the flexibility of their hands.
A More Active Mind
Magic is awesome to watch, but it also creates questions. Everyone in the audience wants to know the secret of the tricks performed. Children already have an active interest in the world and magic helps them to ask questions and seek answers. Easy magic tricks for kids will help children start to understand the more difficult concepts of physics, chemistry and probability.
A Powerful Personality
Magicians are in great demand, not only for their ability to amaze and astound, but also because they have high energy and interesting personalities. When kids learn some easy magic tricks, they gain confidence that allows them to speak before audiences. Their personalities and presence will be sought after because they are people others want to be around.
How to Start?
When selecting magic tricks for kids, keep them easy at the beginning. Choose tricks that are age appropriate and those that they will be able to do with their small hands. If you decide to buy a magic kit, make sure you get one that fits the intelligence level of your child. While you want to start off with easy magic tricks, kids will lose interest if their level of involvement doesn't match up with their academic ability.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that magic tricks for kids, whether they are easy or more advanced to master, should be fun. Childhood is already a magical time; encourage your child to make the most of it.
