<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>THIS IS THE WAY PLANET X ( FROM OUTER SPACE ) LOOKED 17,000 YEARS AGO<a href="http://www.spacenoodles.com/characters.asp"><img title="PLANET X, 17,000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY" src="http://hcurci.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/planet-x.gif" alt="PLANET X, 17,000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY" width="450" height="132" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>STORY SYNOPSIS&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Because the speed of light travels 186,000 miles per second, about 7.5 times around the earth in one second,every image we see is brought to us via light.</strong></p>
<p><strong>However, what you may think is instant visual is in fact delayed by the speed of light, it just looks instant.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For example, the  Andromeda Galaxy is currently two million light years from here and what you are seeing is what it looked like two million years ago&#8230;.The Andromeda galaxy could have blown up over a million years ago and you would not have know till now&#8230;..the computer screen you are watching is showing images a fraction of a second old&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>The football player running down the field is sending us a picture the way it was a fraction of a second ago.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Alles gut unter dem Berliner Himmel. Die Chemie in der poetrYclub-Band brodelt.</strong> Das gemeinsame Spielen hat Suchtpotential 10: Man muss, weil man nicht anders kann&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Aber auch sonst ist alles super, und auch in der großen weiten Welt tut sich was.</strong> Heute sogar etwas Bedeutendes, denn wie es scheint, fliegt nun die Lüge mit der Klima-Erwärmung durch CO2-Ausstoss auf. <a href="http://alles-schallundrauch.blogspot.com/2009/11/entlarvung-des-klimaschwindels-durch.html" target="_blank">Freeman von Schall und Rauch meldet heute, daß Hacker tausende E-Mails gesichert haben, die auf einem Universitätsrechner lagen</a>: ENTLARVUNG DES KLIMASCHWINDELS DURCH HACKER.</p>
<p>Aus dem Artikel geht hervor, daß die Informationen bezüglich der Klimaerwärmung von den beteiligten &#8220;Experten&#8221; mutwillig und in betrügerischer Weise manipuliert wurden, um die Welt auf das Märchen vom menschenverschuldeten Klimawandel einzuschwören.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/7nYb2dELjR4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/7nYb2dELjR4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-tv-doom-gloom-climate-fraudsters-exposed/" target="_blank">In der Alex Jones Show feiert das Team die Veröffentlichung dieser entlarvenden Beweise wie einen großen Sieg.</a> Amüsant.</strong> Nun bin gespannt, wie die Mainstream-Medien und die Presse über diesen Skandal berichten werden. Darüber hinwegsehen können sie nicht, das würde ja nur beweisen, daß sie nichts anderes als Propagandamedium sind. Aber was tun, die mächtige Agenda der Globalisten und Weltordnungsfanatiker steht hinten dran.</p>
<p><strong>Wie ich hier schon mehrfach versprochen habe, wir erleben sehr spannende Zeiten. Und es wird in der Tat immer spannender. Sollte sich herausstellen, daß die Klimakatastrophenpanik ein von der Obrigkeit organisierter Betrug an der Öffentlichkeit ist, dann bricht bald das große Kartenhaus der Lüge ein.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sometimes I wonder what the universe is trying to tell me. And if I should listen. The simple name on the back of a sweatshirt uncovers a dusty memory, and a vague smile. Acting on it could bring about a series of events that are beyond my control.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For all you hungry blood thirsty Edward and Bella Vampire fans out there, yes today November 16th is a New Moon just like your movie set to come out shortly.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://taratarot.com"><img title="Robert Pattinson New Moon " src="http://www.gossipcheck.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/robert-pattinson.jpg" alt="New Moon Robert Pattinson Pluto Saturn Tara Greene cosmic news" width="300" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Pattinson New Moon</p></div>
<p>Personally I have gotten into the books because I have a 11.8 year old daughter and all her peers were reading the series. I have read through Twilight and am getting through New Moon now.</p>
<p>Since I believe and notice all the synchronicities going on I couldn&#8217;t help wonder about the recent SATURN PLUTO square  exact on NOV 15th and how it relates symbolically to this New Moon in Scorpio and to Vampires, death and rebirth etc.</p>
<p>Talk about your birth and death cycles. A new Moon in Scorpio is always the most intense New Moon. Scoprio is all about all the biggies we love- sex, power, other peoples money,control, secrets, intrigue, psychology, kinkyness, the shadow. Its the 8th house of the Zodiac and the Number 8 has a mystical significance, becuase the number 8 is the symbol of Infinity when turned on its side.</p>
<p>So Scorpio also relates to women&#8217;s menstrual cycles, as the monthly menses is all about death, rebirth, recycling, life, flow, emotions, the sacred waters of Life. The sacred blood that all women shed monthly, governed by the moon, is totall synched into Scorpio symbology.</p>
<p> Vampires of course,drink blood and so like all other Fairy Tales and Archetypal Stories the Victorian modern version of the Vampire Male  carries a repressed naked truth about the masculine needing balance by drinking the Feminine&#8217;s blood. But it skirts around the essential issue and only tittilates.</p>
<p> An Eco Vampire could always drink menstrual blood now couldn&#8217;t he or she and not have to kill any humans or animal rights activists please note- animals either.</p>
<p> Talk about your Good Vampires, never mind Fake vegetarian vampireslike the Cullens and their friends in Alaska, the Pallins.</p>
<p>Which brings me to the synchonicities of the vampire craze, Scorpio, Saturn and Pluto squaring off.</p>
<p>The two big planets are creating the impact which we see as the world&#8217;s financial markets going through major change, breakdown, and in need of dire recycling, the subject of which Pluto reigns over. Demoted or not, Pluto is one tough hombre you don&#8217;t want to mess around with, just like Mother Nature Herself.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s  remoted Pluto status notwith standing.</p>
<p>Vampires being revamped by Stephanie Meyers books. She said it started from a dream, how very Nuptunian.  She is a commercial combo of J.K Rowling and Anne Rice&#8217;s vampire books which were a huge rage with an older adult audience? Wasn&#8217;t the Cruise man the prequel to Robert Pattinson&#8217;s role now? Are all those earlier vampire reading women now taking their tweeny daughters to see the new version, with the sexier haircut?</p>
<p>Saturn is Father Time, the ruler of all in 3D, if you&#8217;re reading this then chances are that you&#8217;ve got a physical bodyand that  you&#8217;re wearing a suit made by Saturn we call it- a body. Saturn is the taxman, the grinder,the obstacle maker, the tester. Saturn rules buildings, history, the Patriarchy, the fathers, the status quo. Saturn traditonally rules the Sign of CAPRICORN which governs things like Corporations,Big Business, status, securities, history.</p>
<p>Saturn also is the ancient ruler of the Sign of AQUARIUS.Its tough for us moderns to grok just  how conservative Saturn could rule the odd ball individualistic Freedom loving sign of Aquarius.</p>
<p>In current Western Astrology the trend is to go back to the basics. Saturn, and incorporate the Ancient techniques which are being translated from Ancient Greek as we speak . Saturn was the last visible of all the 7 planets { the Sun and moon are considered &#8220;planets&#8221; in Astrology.</p>
<p>Each planet governed 2 sign, a masculine and a Feminine sign, which was way more balanced and egalitarian than the modern rulerships which include the last discovered planets Uranus Neptune and Pluto.</p>
<p>LET THE SUNSHINE- The Age of Aquairus NOT!</p>
<p>To a Vampire. But we are also currently experiencing the significant line up of expansive Jupiter- ruler of foreigners, truth, philosophy, optimism, airplanes, religious fanatics, animals, explorers and gamblers. Jupiter would rule creatures like Vampires, Centaursm etc. Jupiter co-rules the signs Sagittarius and Traditionally Pisces. Neptune the modern ruler of water sign Pisces, which is also the sign of Genius and Madness, drugs, escapism, fantasy, illusion, the dream, spirituality, hope, faith,compassion, bliss, Oneness, music, the arts, photography, film, entertainment, the stars, endings. did I mention OIL?</p>
<p>Neptune rules visons, so the VAmpire saga is under Neptunes rules as all the actors&#8217; and the films.</p>
<p>And last but not least CHIRON, the Wounded Healer. is a comet discovered Nov 1st 1977. Chiron&#8217;s story was that in the Greek Myths he was a Centaur, 1/2 man 1/2 horse, who rejected by his mother became a great healer, he was half divine. He had an unhealable wound and gave up being oso he could die and be realeased form his pain. This is starting to jibe with the Vampire myth. Bella needing to become a Vampire because she is too vulnerable in her human Saturn fragile body,she gets easily wounded which is Chiron. She needs to endure the suffering of Scorpio, the death, and rebirth as a Vampire.</p>
<p>Where Chiron is ,is where we are the most wounded and vulnerable but also where the healing is.</p>
<p>So the BIG 3 are convering in Aquarius now and into 2010. Pointing the way to New technologies,healing and or massive escapism, viruses, Neptune rules viruses, and in Aquarius that&#8217;s the laboratory,so watch oyt the H1N1 is being created by Glaxo Smoth Klein I believe.</p>
<p>The two biggest oney making machines are the military and the drug companies. The military is co ruled by Saturn and Mars and drug companies would be under the rule of Neptune and Jupiter.</p>
<p>Saturn is grinding us to change, Pluto is quickly eradicating all old,outworm,power structures. Please note that Pluto only just made his official complete entry into the 10th sign Capricorn one year ago.We got 14 more years of BIG CHANGE BIG TIME.</p>
<p>Saturn gets the final word on all of this. Saturn as the Ancient rulerof Capricorn and Aquarius, is the final dispositor Lording it over all the other planets now.</p>
<p>Saturn is Reality, now in Libra since Oct 29th for the next approx. 3 years . Saturn puts us all in the karmic Balance.In the Tarot LIBRA, is the sign of Justice the Number 8 card.Back to the number 8 infinity.</p>
<p>What does this have to do with Vampires? Vampires are the shades, the shadow, the beings who stand in both worlds, neither living nor dead, they straddle the Archetypal world. Any popular story is a symbolic mirror of our own human and cosmic developments. So do we choose to live aunthentically and do we choose to embrace the shadows?</p>
<p>Saturn Square Pluto which we&#8217;re experiencing now, again in Feb 2010 and in August in exact sqauares which produce a lot of friction, tension, limitations, pits the Lord of Time, and the Lord of Death against one another, and these qualities are combined in the archetype of the Vampire,beyong time, ageless, deathless.Pluto is Lord of recycling,rebirth, death,renewal, the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the shadow, the shades and all beings of the shades,like Vampires. Pluto rules the Sign of Scoprio in modern Astrological rulerships.The Ancient ruler of Scorpio is Mars, Male eros archetype and God of War, desire, defenses.</p>
<p>And put &#8216;em all together and whaddya got?</p>
<p>and incidentally Robert PAttinson&#8217;s birthdate is for all of those who don&#8217;t know. He is a Taurus born May 13, 1986 in London England at 8:32  AM  but this is not an official birth time.</p>
<p>Neptune and Jupiter and Chiron are squaring Roberts&#8217;s Sun right now. Couls his Sun shine any brighter?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I recently made a necklace.</p>
<p>When I designed it, I must admit, I didnt have a particular influence in mind. The necklace is based on circles and I like the idea of the circle as a form made up from an infinite number of straight lines &#8211; just a nice thought, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>So I created the necklace (took a lot of soldering) but this is the end result:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34548175"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-84" title="Cosmic Necklace" src="http://lynwoodjewelry.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/satdisc1.jpg?w=300" alt="sterling silver necklace, cosmic influences" width="300" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>When I showed it to various people, each instantly said it reminded them of a variety of things, all along the themes of fifties/sixties sci-fi, such as Sputnik, satellites, etc. Then one person (Dragon Claw &#8211; see their shop here:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/dragonclaw ) said it looked like orbiting planets.</p>
<p>I used to be an amateur astronomer (in my much younger days) and I immediately saw that this was the influence behind the art.</p>
<p>So, the question is, how much influence do subliminal views, thoughts, attitudes and loves, have on your art?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So close, and yet so far!  The <em>New Moon</em> premiere, I mean.  Can&#8217;t 11/20 just be here already?  Mainly because I want to finish the last two books in the <em>Twilight</em> saga (and read that never-to-be-published Edward POV book, if I can find it).  I&#8217;ve been waiting to read them, lest I experience what I did with Harry Potter &#8212; not caring about these last few movies because my zeal for the series has ended (from <em>HP</em>, I moved on to <em>Twilight</em>).  I would love to hear recommendations on the next big YA series to read, so let me know!  Someone had recommended <em>Evermore</em> by Allyson Noel, so I think that will be next &#8212; any others?  Anyhoo, I decided not to read the last two <em>Twilight</em> books until the <em>New Moon</em> movie came out (didn&#8217;t want any spoilers &#8211; plus, I&#8217;m totally Team Jacob and I hear his character changes in the last couple books).  Anyway, is it here yet?  Huh, huh, huh?  Nary.</p>
<p>(For information on <strong><em>REAL</em></strong> new moons, check out this blog:  <a href="http://paradelle.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/new-moons/">paradelle.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/new-moons/</a>.)</p>
<p>Secondly, NASA found water on the moon.  Not just a teaspoon.  A &#8220;significant&#8221; amount.  (<a title="Water on the Moon" href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LCROSS/main/prelim_water_results.html" target="_blank">Read more here</a>.)  You think, big deal, who cares?  It&#8217;s a huge deal.  A cosmic deal, if you will.  And yes, you should take an interest.  But my question is why did it take us forty years after the first moon landing for us to discover this amazing bit of information?  Don&#8217;t you think we would have already searched for moon water?  Or already known that there was water on the moon?  Unless&#8230;dare I say&#8230;we were never on the moon to begin with?  GASP!  More likely, it&#8217;s because the earlier moon missions were digging through a moon desert with sand shovels.  Or maybe they were doing something like this (WARNING, LANGUAGE):</p>

<p>Anyway, how long do you think it will be before the scavengers of American capitalism start packaging and selling &#8220;Moon Water&#8221; in re-labelled Dasani bottles?  Maybe they can serve it with your next Denny&#8217;s special.</p>

<description><![CDATA[What is salvation? Seems like a simple question. Maybe, but maybe not.  There are certainly uncompli]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What is salvation?</p>
<p>Seems like a simple question. Maybe, but maybe not.  There are certainly uncomplicated aspects to answering the question, but a &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; picture is an integrated one that explores the question from various angles.</p>
<p>The question may seem simple because it has often been answered simplistically. Or, perhaps better, it has often been answered with a focus on one dimension or aspect of salvation. And, in addition, it is often answered without a salvation history or redemptive history perspective, that is, the cosmic and communal dimensions of salvation have often been ignored or neglected in defining &#8220;salvation.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a series of coming posts, I want to explore this question.</p>
<p>My students know that I like charts&#8230;or at least drawing on the board (both chalk and white, though I prefer the white ones). Charts are helpful for &#8220;big picture&#8221; views, identifying various dimensions of the subject and organizing thoughts. But charts can also be constraining as they box us into particular ways of looking at a question and they are often reductionistic rather than illuminating. Nevertheless, I employ charts because they are more helpful than risky.</p>
<p>Below is a chart that I will explain in coming posts. </p>
<p>Salvation is most often defined as the personal forgiveness of sins and a personal relationship with God (quadrant 1) but rarely described as a participation in the cosmic redemption of the creation (quadrant 8).</p>

<td width="156" valign="top">New Heaven and New Earth (9)</td>

</tbody>
</table>
<p>I will leave you to ponder the chart as you desire and anticipate (if that is the right word <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) the next post that will begin to unpack my wholistic understanding of salvation.</p>

<p>Can Bad Karma Be Erased, Forgiven Or Expunged?<br />
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gary_Zalben]Gary Zalben</p>
<p>When criminals break the laws of the land, they are condemned and sentenced accordingly to what is required by the provisions of the laws that were broken. But the president of the country or the governor of the state is empowered in mitigating circumstances to let the lawbreaker off with a lighter sentence or to pardon him altogether. In the same way, God being supreme and His highly developed saints who are in harmony with him can stop the fruition of bad karma or sins against the soul in persons by exercising their spiritual will-force. They can concede forgiveness of sins and free others from suffering the results of their bad actions by changing the nature of their mind and brain cells with the understanding of the precise relation of their habits and mind to the brain sufficiently changing their karmic blueprints.</p>
<p>Only God and His highly advanced masters or saints can forgive others. To illustrate in simple terms how this principle works, suppose for example, someone was poisoned through wrong eating, he can immediately be given an antidote to counteract the poison and thus create a new cause with an effect that will destroy the poison in his system. The powerful consciousness of the masters can equally counteract the adverse effects of earlier wrong actions accumulated in misguided people by various means. The laws of cause and effect created by God however cannot be broken; the judgments of karmic law have to be compensated in fair exchange or in kind.</p>
<p>Any disciple or devotee who finds his adversary through introspection realizes his wrongful actions and bad karma, has been arraigned before the court magistrate in the cosmic judiciary of karmic law of cause and effect. He must ceaselessly pray to be set free from reaping the consequences of his wrongful actions. Those condemned by the judge for breaking the cosmic laws are sent to the penitentiary of suffering by the official officers of karmic inclinations accumulated from wrong actions. It is impossible to escape from the tribunal of cosmic laws that govern every single human action until we all worked out and fully paid our karmic bills through reformation, suffering and prayers for deliverance. In time it is possible to be partially or wholly free from adverse effects of bad karma. Our final recourse for redemption and grace is devotional sincerity and deep prayers to the Divine supreme jurist, the architect of the karmic law.</p>
<p>Those who have not been caught for breaking the laws should not consider themselves free, innocent or guiltless than some who were condemned and punished for their offenses for they will be convicted as they are apprehended by the cosmic laws of cause and effect. These are words of warning for people who become complacent and assume themselves as rightfully virtuous and secure. They so far have not had the misfortune visited upon others. Those sleeping in ignorance who never analyze themselves and who never make any spiritual effort, will one day be bluntly awakened from mental, spiritual or physical suffering. By the cultivation of spiritual consciousness, repentance and prayers for redemption they can, without fail, avert or lessen unfavorable karmic recompense.</p>
<p>The master knows the secret thoughts of men and is able to manipulate certain mechanical features of the laws of karma which can be skillfully adjusted by his fingers of wisdom and by counteractive measures taken by a distressed person such as faith, deep love for God, prayer and yoga meditation to reduce or cancel out the harmful effects of past sinful actions. But if the master wants to hasten the spiritual development of an individual or disciple, he may in severe cases of deep-rooted bad karma. He may also in reply to the devoted faith and receptiveness of the petitioner accept onto himself the karmic state of a disciple, or part of it, and let the karmic effects be worked out in his own body.</p>
<p>Lets say a weak man named Joseph enraged an associate who was physically stronger and who then decided to raise his hand and beat Joseph but I am also very strong and instantly jumped in between them and received the well intended punch and absorbed the blow which affected me in a far lesser degree sparing Joseph the pain. Similarly when a person is condemned to suffer from wrongdoing, he is bound by the karmic law of cause and effect but a great master can repel the turmoil and let it spend its force within his body.</p>
<p>There have been saints recognized for having taken onto themselves the very diseases of the afflicted and thus relieving the sufferers. It is not necessary for one to suffer in order to heal by divine law, but only masters and remarkable Christ-like healers have knowledge of the sacred technique and are able to take on the spiritual, mental or physical sufferings of another to release them in their own physical bodies. Even though a pardon is granted from illness, the body is temporary and must perish in its full season. It does not matter what one&#8217;s blessing of healing or disorder is, the only way to lastingly wipe out unwanted karma is by God contact. Unfortunately the multitudes do not believe that real God contact is possible but knowledgeable disciples and devotees know better.</p>
<p>There are some credulous offenders who want to be free of suffering and consider it sufficient to seek confession from an everyday priest to receive divine amnesty through confession of their sinful evil deeds. There is mental consolation that confession confers on them and grants pardon, but the operation of the karmic laws are too subtle to be seen and they deem themselves to be forgiven. The selfish fear of consequences along with shallow prayer will not bring God randomly to counteract the just and truthful workings of the laws of cause and effect. Men would continue in error if permitted to do so without consequences. God cannot be moved by bartered deals of good behavior for past misconduct or sporadic emotions of praise. With heart felt divine love and devoted sincerity any sin and its consequences can be forgiven, not by mere supplication.</p>
<p>We have all heard the expression &#8220;get a life.&#8221; If one really wants a real life, one must try to find who his or her God-ordained guru is because no one can even casually meet their guru without good karma. We are told that during a period of psychological curiosity we should thoroughly investigate how God sends the seeking individuals ordinary teachers for addressing the awakening of souls. When the first yearning for truth comes, somebody offers you a book or recommends a teacher to awaken you, but when a soul is determined to know God, the Heavenly Father sends him a guru or an illumined soul who has cosmic consciousness and is one with him such as Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Sri Ramakrishna, Paramahansa Yogananda and other great unknown masters who have come to earth throughout the centuries.</p>
<p>These masters have complete mastery of the self and no karma of their own. They come only to help the disciple to acquire the freedom from his own karma. It is extremely important to follow one master who has no karma and who can take a portion of our cross on his back. If the person you follow has not realized God he can not take it, he is only a school teacher and a person who learns from an ordinary teacher is called a student but a person who learns from a guru is called a chela or disciple. When the disciple faithfully applies and learns the teachings of a God-sent guru preceptor, he attracts the same guru in following incarnations until liberation is attained. The technique in finding your true spiritual guru not a self-appointed one is explained in the book &#8220;Autobiography of a Yogi&#8221; by Paramahansa Yogananda, a spiritual classic which explains this in detail.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It sees itself as just a physical body completely separate from God, life and other people. It sees itself at war and in competition with other people. It lives in a reality of being better than everyone else or worse than everyone else; hence it is prone to jealousy, comparison, judgment, attack thoughts and conditional love. It sees you just as a physical body that will die. The Spiritual/ Christ/ Buddha/ Krishna/ Moses/ Mohammed/ Mighty I AM Presence/ God/ Goddess Consciousness is the exact opposite of the negative ego. It sees you as a Son or Daughter of God, incarnating into a physical body for the purpose of Spiritual growth and service in this mystery school called Earth. It recognizes that you are one with God, your brothers and sisters, and all of Creation. It recognizes that you are in a process of evolution, fully realizing this truth at a planetary level now, and then evolving through the solar, galactic, universal, multi-universal and cosmic realities until you fully realize this truth in an ultimate cosmic sense. It recognizes that even though you have not fully realized this oneness yet, it remains an inherent truth of your being. It sees you as an eternal, immortal Spirit living in your current physical body of which you have had many, the current one probably being your last one…. So let it be written. So let it be done.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tawaaf Is a Cosmic Law By Prof. Dr. Ahmad Fouad Pasha (Professor at Cairo University) Allah Almighty]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#003366;"><strong>Tawaaf Is a Cosmic Law</strong></span><span style="color:#003366;"><br />
</span><span style="color:#008080;">By Prof. Dr. Ahmad Fouad Pasha (Professor at Cairo University)</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003366;">Allah Almighty says: <strong>“It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course.”</strong> (Surah Al Anbiya 21:33)</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#003366;"><a href="http://navedz.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/kaaba_tawaaf.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3035" title="kaaba_tawaaf" src="http://navedz.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/kaaba_tawaaf.jpg?w=300" alt="kaaba_tawaaf" width="300" height="200" /></a>This glorious verse refers to a scientific fact concerning the system of the universe. Scientific discoveries have proved that we live in a huge universe that depends on revolution. The earth revolves round the sun once a year, the moon revolves around the earth once per lunar month, and the other planets of the solar system also revolve round the sun, each in its own orbit. Besides, most of these planets have moons that revolve around them, each, also, in its own orbit. Astronomers have discovered more than 60 of these moons so far.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">The solar system, likewise, orbits a center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This galaxy consists of more than 130 billion stars. Galaxies, in turn, revolve round a center that only Almighty Allah knows.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">The law of revolution applies also to atoms, the smallest units of elements that cannot be seen even by microscopes. An atom is composed of a nucleus whose diameter is less than a millionth of a millimeter. An atom is surrounded by electrons that move round the atom in an orbit. Since all matter in the universe-whether solid, liquid, or gaseous-consists of atoms, this means that the law of revolution applies to everything: stars, planets, moons, animals, plants, sand, seas, air, and so on.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">This includes cells as well. The cytoplasm in the cell moves around the nucleus.<a href="http://navedz.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tawaaf.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3036" title="tawaaf" src="http://navedz.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tawaaf.jpg?w=300" alt="tawaaf" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">There is a common factor between the orbital movements of all the objects referred to above, this is, their revolution is counterclockwise.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">Contemplating the above lines, we come to realize that revolution is a cosmic law.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">With a believer’s meditation upon such a scientific fact, another image of revolution is brought to one’s mind: the pilgrims’ circumambulation of the Kaaba, which is a basic ritual of Hajj in Islam.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">Circumambulating the Kaaba is a symbolic act of worship, whose wisdom may be hidden form some. It indicates the believers’ utter submission to Almighty Allah alone. The pilgrims go to Hajj in response to the divine order that Prophet Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed to people. Allah Almighty says:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#003366;"><strong>“Behold! We gave the site, to Ibrahim, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): &#8220;Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).&#8221; And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways;”</strong> (Surah Al Hajj 22:26-27)</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">This signifies that the Kaaba is the spiritual center of the believers. It refers to the close bond that should be between a believer and his Lord. A believer turns toward the Kaaba five times a day during the prescribed ritual Prayers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">A pilgrim circumambulates the Kaaba as if he or she is a celestial body orbiting another greater body. Circumambulation of the Kaaba is to be performed counterclockwise. This indicates that there is a joint factor between a pilgrim’s expressing his ultimate faith in Almighty Allah by circumambulating the Kaaba in that way and between the cosmic law of revolution discussed above. This indicates that there is consistency between the obligations of worship in Islam and the natural laws that govern the universe, which indicates that they all belong to only one source, that is, Almighty Allah.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#003366;">This proves the truthfulness of the call of Islam that there is no god but Almighty Allah. Thus, Islam is the true religion that provides humankind with a comprehensive view in conformity with the divine truth that is apparent in the natural laws of the universe.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;">The venue of choice for this particular P.A.R.T.Y. will be </span><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;">announced closer to the day of reckoning, although the rumor</span><span style="color:#000000;"> that it will be intimate, inner-city and, err, interplanetary (?) is by</span><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.soulofsydney.wordpress.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="border:1px solid black;" title="Raw Cuts #3" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2555/4047388545_41fcef7739_o.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="144" /></a></span><span style="color:#000000;"> no means scurrilous. In fact, it can be confirmed that CO-OP #3 will play host to little more than 200 humans, meaning that the promoters fully expect the night to be 100% pre-sale.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">As usual, CO-OP’s friends at <strong>Night Works Audio </strong>will be looking after the sound-system and your hearing with the installation of their <strong>Funktion-One </strong>bits and pieces, ensuring that the talent’s records are heard as some higher power intended. The CO-OP residents will also be doing some digging in support of the headliner and hence dancers can expect a thorough full body workout over the evening.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Anyone who knows, well, anything, or attended the August night, will already be aware that the aforementioned Jockey Of The Disc and now trademark CO-OP phatmosphere (like atmosphere but phatter, obviously) will mean busyness as usual. Two thirds of tickets sold out in advance of the Vincenzo show, so with another exclusive 5 hour Sydney set from a highly respected ‘artiste’ on the bill for December there’ll be an even higher chance of all consuming sadness for some on the 5th if the long game isn’t played. Plus, the sooner tickets are landed the cheaper they’ll be, its only fair – scuttle in the direction of that renowned emporium of electronic music information <a title="MCDE" href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?124407" target="_blank">Resident Advisor</a> now and do the right thing.<strong><br />

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://www.soulofsydney.wordpress.com"><img class="aligncenter" title="MCDE" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2451/4048060900_a804059fb0_o.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="78" /></a></span></span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">MOTOR CITY DRUM ENSEMBLE (RAW CUTS / GERMANY)</span></span></strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">A Stuttgart native (hence the Motor City reference within his best known alias, it being Germany’s answer to Detroit along with Frankfurt), <strong>Danilo Plessow</strong> has been dabbling in the deeper shades of dance since his early teenage years.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignleft" style="border:1px solid black;" title="mcde rc1" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/4048129384_67f8934179_o.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="156" />With his inimitable <strong>Raw Cuts</strong> series seamlessly joining the dots between classic <strong>Chicago House</strong>, <strong>Detroit Techno</strong> and <strong>New York Disco</strong> (via Stuttgart, of course), and gaining support from every DJ with taste and ears (pretty much), Plessow’s take on dance music references its rich history while always pushing its boundaries. The multi-faceted nature of the MCDE sound is made even more impressive by the fact that its perpetrator is yet to celebrate his 25th birthday!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">From the age of 17 Danilo has been gaining props for his recorded output, first for the <strong>Jazzy House</strong> and <strong>Broken Beat</strong> cuts created under the <strong>Inverse Cinematics</strong> moniker with his friend<strong> Joachim Tobias</strong>, which issued several 12”s, numerous remixes and one LP. Since the MCDE project came to life in 2008, Mr Plessow has been on something of a dream run, to date issuing 6 volumes of the Raw Cuts series which have united fans of deep Disco and deeper House with their distinctive cut and paste flavor.</span><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignright" style="border:1px solid black;" title="mcde rc2" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/4048129194_e4115987f9_o.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">2009 has already seen the MCDE remix touch applied to scene stalwarts <strong>DJ T, Steve Bug, Jazzanova, DJ Sprinkles </strong>and <strong>Toby Tobias </strong>among others, with original productions for <strong>20:20 Vision</strong> and <strong>Mule Musiq</strong> also delighting dancers all over. Meanwhile, Mr P’s MCDE label and <strong>Four Roses</strong><strong>Mujaba</strong>) continue to turn heads, and DJ bookings keep the passport stamps coming for Danilo (recent jaunts include the <strong>UK, US and Russia</strong>), leading to the conclusion that the only way continues to be up for <strong>Motor City Drum Ensemble</strong>.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Every now and then, disparate elements combine to create a natural spectacle.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, the effect of this cosmic alignment will not be wasted on you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re in a disused laneway. It&#8217;s a cool spring day, quite breezy, and towering weeds choke the dank space.</p>
<p>Suddenly:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align:left;">The clouds part.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The wind enters the lane in such a manner as to spiral.</li>
<li style="text-align:left;">The largest weed releases its fluffy seeds.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:left;">A magical ribbon of bright white unfolds before your astonished eyes. Whirling and uncurling, it heads straight towards you, before taking off into the sky and exploding into a thousand fragments above you.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The clouds return, the sunlight vanishes and the scene returns to boring normality.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yet blazed across your memory is the indelible vision of a tiny miracle - played out just for you.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Even its retelling, a year after the event, will be enough to lift your spirits.</p>
