We all need extra protection these days as we venture out into the world; one very powerful way to do this is by reading the 91st Psalm before you begin your daily activities. It doesn't matter what your spiritual beliefs are, these inspired words will invoke the power of the Divine in your life. If so desired, you can bless yourself with sanctified water; which can be made by reading the 23rd Psalm three times over a container of water. You will notice a massive difference in your day by doing this.
Negative energies can effect us all, no matter who we are. If we continuously entertain negative thoughts, they will impact our daily affairs; therefore it is important to clean up our thought life and keep the toxic ponderings at bay. The dense, negative energy of others can contaminate us and cause certain problems in our lives. A simple way to remedy this is to imagine a pure, white light washing over you and through you; cleansing your entire body and energy field of any impure substances. And lastly, and this one is very unpopular, there are parasitic/negative entities that can attach themselves to us and cause unpleasant symptoms and happenings in our lives. One effective way to deal with this issue is through prayer... The prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel is a good practice to do daily; it can make a huge difference in your daily life.
Prayer to St. Michael The Archangel
St. Michael the
Archangel, defend me in battle.
Be my defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, I humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
Hi all, due to the new web page that I will be launching in August, I have changed the name of the blog to be more in concert with what will be offered there. The new page will be offering psychic readings, Reiki healing and other services for clients. I decided to change the name of the blog so that it does not reflect any particular spiritual path but rather an open door to any person who believes in Spirit. We are all on the same journey, we should assist and compliment one another as we travel the road that leads into eternity... -PAUL JAMES CAIDEN-
There is a growing trend in the world today to make people doubt themselves, especially those who may have had a spiritual experience. The doubters say, "it was a state of hypnosis, you imagined it, that's what you believed you saw, you were mistaken, it was probably an animal... or... you need to see a shrink." The list goes on and on...
I believe that when one sees anything that seems out of the ordinary, that we have to search every possible explanation before we can label it as supernatural... But then on the other hand, there are those experiences that are so clear and unmistakable that they leave no room for any doubt about what was seen. Yet the narrow minded person will try to make you doubt your own eyes... even your sanity. In some cases, they will even try to shame or embarrass you into admitting that you were probably just hallucinating.
Matthew 7:6 says, " Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again
and rend you." .. In other words, be careful who you share your spiritual beliefs and experiences with because some individuals will trample over them and then turn on you with harsh or hurtful words.
Of course, we should all be sensible about our experiences. As said above, explore every avenue and make sure that there is not any other cause for what you experienced. If you're the kind of person who thinks every little happening is otherworldly and saying you're having a supernatural experience every other day, then yeah, folks will probably be very suspicious of your claims. But when it comes to those legitimate occurrences that come out of the blue and leaves you mystified and blessed for having experienced it... don't let anyone take it from you with clever words or belittling attitudes!
Many people want to heal the world of its problems, but that healing starts with each of us. Are you making your life the way you want it to be? Are you releasing old hurts and prejudices? Are you taking time to show others the light instead of arguing opinions? Are you speaking up when you see a wrong committed instead of just shaking your head and complaining about it later? Healing takes action and personal responsibility.
There are people in this world who always want second chances, even when they have intentionally hurt someone else. Yet, they are never willing to ever give a second chance to anyone who might ask them for such a favor. This is because their ego always tells them that you are not very bright, and will probably fall for the same game all over again... Yet if someone makes an honest mistake in their presence, ego tells them to never forgive because the other person has greatly betrayed them and is is not worthy to ever be spoken to again. If you know someone like this, don't wear yourself out knocking on their door trying to be reasonable or crying for forgiveness; they were never your friend to begin with and now the final curtain has been closed on their emotional charade. Don't feed their feeble ego with your sincerity... feed your own well being instead by forgiving yourself and walking away.
If you ignore your deepest desires, you are turning your back on those things that you really want in life. When you turn your back on what you really want in life, you will never become what you were meant to be...
Think for yourself, don't let anyone else tell you what to believe. Just because their life is hard and filled with bitterness, doesn't mean yours has to be. Just because they sat on the sidelines and complained because the government was dishonest and impacting the country in a negative way; doesn't mean you have to do the same, you can stand up and make a difference. Just because their idea of God was angry, intolerant and wrathful beyond reason, does not mean that you have to adopt the same fearful image. Think for yourself, and make your life the way you want it to be!
Look at nature; all things are provided for without worry, stress or money. Rain falls from the sky, giving water to the trees, plants, insects and animals. Have you ever seen a dragonfly with cancer or a tree with high blood pressure? How many deer or birds do you see carrying a bottle of pills or complaining that they do not have enough money to make ends meet? Have you ever noticed the perfect balance and harmony in the natural world outside your window? The Divine Spirit provides for all things in nature, what makes you think it won't provide for you as well...
The rap duo, Insane Clown Posse, have been battling with the FBI for quite some time now because the FBI has labeled there fans (the Juggalos) as a loosely based hybrid gang. This all coming about because of actions of some of the younger fans committing crimes in the name of "being a Juggalo.) But does this warrant the FBI labeling anyone who likes this music as being affiliated with a gang?
It has already been noted that since the FBI made this classification, that several individuals were detained and questioned for having ICP logos on their personal vehicles or tattoos on their body:
According to one of the plaintiffs, Mark Parsons of Nevada,
Tennessee state troopers detained him for displaying the ICP’s
“Hatchetman” logo on his truck, “which depicts a
person with wild hair running with a butcher cleaver in his or
her hand.”
“Parsons considers himself one of the original fans of ICP,
having attended shows and supported the band for years. In honor
of the band, Mark named his own trucking company Juggalo Express,
LLC and decorated his big rig with the image of a
Hatchetman,” the Michigan ACLU said in a statement when the
suit was filed in January. “While Mark was hauling cargo in a tractor-trailer emblazoned
with an ICP logo, he was detained for a safety inspection by a
Tennessee State Trooper. When Mark asked why he was stopped, the
Trooper replied it was because the logo was associated with a
gang ‘according to the FBI'.”
Another of the suit’s participants, Scott Gandy of North
Carolina, said he was forced to spend hundreds of dollars
concealing his Juggalo tattoos as a US Army recruit after the
military deemed them “gang related” body art. There are some that hold the view that the FBI's actions will only serve as a deterrent for the younger fans of the group from acting out in public and displaying destructive behavior. However, The cases of Mark Parsons and Scott Gandy prove that profiling by
local authorities is not, and will not be limited to unruly teenagers
who commit random crimes on the streets. If individuals are pulled over, questioned and detained today, what happens in the months and years to come? Will people simply be arrested, fired from their jobs, suspended from school and persecuted in other ways just because they choose to listen to a certain kind of music? Some may scoff at this idea, yet it happens every day where certain religions, races and lifestyles are not tolerated by others... And sadly, it even happens in America!
One online article, (which I have borrowed material and quotes from in this blog,) said: “Among the supporters of almost any group — whether it be a
band, sports team, university, political organization or religion
— there will be some people who violate the law,” the suit
said. “However, it is wrong to designate the entire group of
supporters as a criminal gang based on the acts of a few.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened here.”
If Juggalos are considered a gang for the acts of a few, then members of churches, mosques, local authorities and even government officials should be labeled as such also. After all, the stories of police brutality, religious violence and government corruption in the news FAR out numbers that of Juggalos who break the law! As one online commenter stated: "Law enforcement all dress in the same police style, and a lot of police
officers have been found guilty of crimes over the years. Shouldn't all
law enforcement agencies be considered gangs if we follow the Juggalo's
decision line of thinking?"
Those who think that the practice of magic is evil need to consider this; prayer is a form of magic. Many quote from the Bible believing that the sacred Scriptures are filled with the power of God and will ultimately manifest that which they desire. Some light candles and pray to ascended masters or Saints, and others place prayer petitions in the crevices of sacred walls or near statues of holy men and women believing that this will give their words extra power. There are many forms of prayer and many of them use what the magician calls incantations either spoken or written as well as icons, anointing oils and holy water.
We must also realize that the Bible is filled with stories that contain elements of magic: Moses parted the Red Sea, he turned his staff into a serpent. Jesus turned water into wine and multiplied a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish into a banquet that fed over 5000 people. If I were to document all of the magical acts done in the Bible, I would be blogging them four months.
As far as communicating with spirits go; the Bible is filled with such stories. Even Jesus talk with the spirits of Moses and Elijah atop the mountain where he was transfigured into a being of light. Those who condemn such practices should look more closely at their own sacred books and see what is written therein. Jesus himself said, judge not lest you be judged... Wise words indeed.
This is the time of year when the blog slows down a bit due to summer vacation and school being out etc... Just checking in to let everyone know I'm alive and getting the new website in order for its big launch... (hopefully in August!) Stay cool and I'll be here as much as possible during these slower months..... Peace!
