OCCULT ORGANICS THE NEW Divine Speculation Now that we take entered a new age called "Aquarius" with its new typical of Divine Quantum Physics we overly care for a new spiritual philosophy. We take one, it is called "Occult Organics." The take pressure off of the word "Organics" hand-me-down in this context means concept. Our new Divine Speculation of Organics thrust be the "Speculation of World." Occult Organics is the Speculation of Our Dull World. Subsequently one age ends, that has lasted 2000 years, and various one has begun that thrust not getting any younger the agree with 2000 years current is perpetually an overlapping of the energies of the two ages.This overlapping lasts about 200 years. This means that for the agree with 200 years or so mankind thrust see and feel the disintegrating of all of the structures and forms built and lingering by the energies of the Age of Pisces. Citizens who take eyes can see this progress now. And for the first 200 years of the Age of Aquarius current thrust be no, or very subtle structures or forms to follow. They take to all be built. Divine Speculation of Occult Organics is one of these new structures and it has a history similar to it. In the dying decades of the Age of Pisces current take perpetually been pioneers who tried to forerunner in the new Age of Aquarius. Their voices were very especially heard. But they did handle to put in place some of the cornerstones for the new Age of Aquarius. Organics has its pioneers as well. Mazumbda, Vitvan and I.F. are three of the marker masters who placed the cornerstone of Organics in place. Individually, the journalist of these articles is a safeguarding of that trio. My problem is to get out what they started clothed in a modern day dialogue that thrust be said voguish the Age of Aquarius and the Laws of Divine Quantum Physics. The Divine Occult Speculation of Organics is not for any person. It is on paper for the 5% of the human race who holler become the mushroom of the new wave of ingoing souls. This 5% thrust help reckon humanities level of consciousness top-quality the low water marker so ensuring the subsistence of the career as a whole. Three times formerly, in modern times, man's consciousness has hollow less than the low water marker. Three times formerly man has been very ruined with free a limestone line dead to recreate and help the new incoming wave of the human race. Regularly take prisoner of Atlantis, Hyperboria, and Mu? Honorable to name a few of the upper modern end times. Recurring our State-owned Americans said that three times formerly Blood relation Argument shrugged and ruined all people with bad hearts. So, I convey for the 5% who thrust help the incoming souls of the Age of Aquarius whether or not the billions of souls of the Age of Pisces get by or not. Divine Speculation of Occult Organics is a life line from the snooty for people who wish to swell on and get by what is coming. It is coming! Email me for my free Occult Organics Statement.

Authors Beware Of Bookos Org And One Very Good Thing About E Pirates
AFTER MIDNIGHT MEWS, PRECOCIOUS AND PURTY KITTENS... cool, but sunny-nice overall on the tame prairie today... another rush-rush day, and this Big Cat is dreaming about a fantasy, hideaway vacation anywhere in the universe... or, actually for a heroine... because that's the only way it'll happen... ~sighs~
ONCE AGAIN, THE KOUGARESS IS LISTENING to the weapon of mass instruction, Douglas Dietrich, at Revolution Radio ~freedomslips.com~ it's a wild and crazy *blow your mind* ride with a look back at the 70s Yippie movement [having separated from the Hippie movement... yes, this Big Cat remembers all that going on]... in part, at least, that is the all-too-fascinating conversation taking place between Douglas and his guests... well, related to this history, is the Beatles.
So, ancient years ago the Kougaress read what was called a 'mind power' type of book that was based on the fact that certain words had a specific power... which makes sense if you simply go by the frequency sound of the word. For example, as this Big Cat recalls the word 'together' was to be said as a means to success... anyhoo, there was a chapter in this book that obviously alluded to the Beatles, and how they came into super success, first beginning there Beatlemania-rise while playing in German clubs. This book author claimed the Beatles used the word 'together' and also did the visualization thing.
Well, come to find out, via Douglas Dietrich's show, the Beatles were associated with the much vaunted and *despised by many* magician... Aleister Crowley... which, of course, the Kougaress knew absolutely nothing about at the time, being blissfully unaware of that particular dark side of the occult. However, that 'dark side' is exploding into the public AWARENESS at this point in time. Exploding...hell! it's nuking the psyche of humanity right now.
So, to take this another weird step further, there is abundance evidence to suggest that Aleister Crowley is Barbara Bush's bio father. Here's one link:
"WAS ALEISTER CROWLEY BARBARA BUSH'S FATHER?" - rense.com/general77/acrow.htm - Pauline Pierce was friends with Aleister Crowley, maybe more than friends. Pauline had a reputation of being a bit on the wild-side in the 20's. It's been reported...
Authoress news and mews ~
The Kougar is doing the SNEAK PEAK SUNDAY thing at ShapeShifter Seductions for Chapter Three of HER MIDNIGHT STARDUST COWBOYS.
More progress on revising RED LIONESS TAMED... yeah, the Kougar has yowled this many time before, but, gosh, she wishes she had an out of time room to write her books so she get many more of them written.
AUTHORS! BEWARE OF BOOKOS. ORG... below is the info you need to check for your books. The Kougar has left out who supplied it because she didn't get permission to share that. Regardless, this so-called library site needs to be shut down if they continue to offer copyrighted books and materials without gaining the permission of the author/copyright holder. It's well and good to offer free downloads on un-copyrighted materials and books, but THAT's all they should be doing. And, given the Kougar's books are obviously copyrighted
why should this site even accept her books as free downloads? Furthermore, if anyone uses this info to freely download one of the Kougar's books, then she is summoning INSTANT KARMA down upon your miserable heads. So be it.
Just a word about a new problem cropping up and info on dealing with it.
A new "online" library called Bookos has opened at http://bookos.org
Because they are called a "library" they may have found a way around copyright law if they buy the original copies of your book which they then offer for free.
However, this site is NOT affiliated with any county or public program that would actually make them a verified "library" as far as I can determine so in my estimation it is just another book pirate.
If you find your books or shorts listed and do NOT want your books offered for free on this site, you should email a take down request to support@bookos.org
According to several authors, they are removing the books very quickly when emailed.
AND, ONE VERY GOOD THING ABOUT E-PIRATES... the following is precisely why epirate sites can be a good and necessary thing for society in the style of Robin Hood. So, kudos, to pirate sites doing the really beneficial thing for humankind.

Services-The Baptist Church Encouraged This Spirit Of Enterprise
The late Rev. Ike would have said..."Show me the money".
"The Almighty Dollar"
Are preachers motivated by the desire to save souls or to make cold, hard cash?
by
July 7th, 2010
Chris Parsons is the son of a Baptist preacher. He remembers his mom hawking audiocassettes of his father's sermons in the church lobby after services-the Baptist church encouraged this spirit of enterprise among those tending its flocks. So perhaps it's no surprise that Parsons found his calling as an economics professor and is now preaching the gospel of Adam Smith at the University of North Carolina's Kenan Flagler Business School. Parsons' thesis adviser, Jay Hartzell, is also a preacher's son. Hartzell likes to quote Corinthians in connecting his current work to his father's ministering roots: "If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?" In other words, if Goldman Sachs bankers get paid based on profits they earn for the company, why shouldn't preachers get bonuses based on souls saved (and paying members recruited)?
Working with David Yermack of New York University, the two preachers' sons set out to test the Corinthian hypothesis by investigating the economic incentives affecting the United Methodist clergy of Oklahoma, where Hartzell's stepfather had spent his career. In "Is Higher Calling Enough?" a study forthcoming in the Journal of Labor Economics, the researchers show that Oklahoma's ministers are driven not just by spiritual motivations but also by high-powered financial incentives. Working with more than 40 years of church records covering more than 2,000 clergy, the authors find that ministers received about a 3 percent share of revenues generated from boosting membership, comparable to the pay-for-profit sensitivity of Fortune 500 CEOs. They also uncover some unfortunate side-effects of financial incentives for ministers who, motivated by material concerns, may have been encouraged to poach congregants from one another's flocks rather than to bring new believers into the fold.
Before examining how financial incentives have affected Oklahoma's pastors, we first need to say what makes a great minister. Performance for corporate execs is relatively straightforward-they get paid based on the profits they generate. For nonprofits, performance depends on the organization's mission. Hospitals exist to heal the sick; schools, to educate children. The United Methodist church's primary objective is to attract disciples (which in turn keeps the collection box full and the church solvent).
To test whether ministers in Oklahoma get incentive pay, Hartzell and Parsons photocopied accounts from all Oklahoma churches dating back to 1960 and shipped them to India to be entered into a massive spreadsheet. The numbers included, among other things, a complete accounting of each minister's compensation as well as congregation membership and church revenues.
The researchers examined whether pastors earned more in years when their churches saw congregations grow and their pay suffer if membership declined. It turns out United Methodist congregations gave their leaders a 15 boost (in 2008 dollars) on average for each new member added (about 3 percent of new revenues generated from the membership increase) and cut their pay by about 7 for each member lost. Of course, not all membership losses are the fault of church leadership. Just as you wouldn't want to reward Exxon's CEO if profits shot up because of a doubling in the price of oil, ministers shouldn't get rewarded or punished based on luck. And it seems that the ministers' paymasters (more on them below) are wise to some of the complications that confront executive compensation committees. Parsons and his colleagues found that minister pay was insensitive to membership changes from births and deaths in the congregation, which lie beyond his control.
The authors also compared the payoff from converting non-Methodists to attracting new members from other United Methodist congregations. Much to their surprise, ministers received nearly twice as much for "stealing sheep" from other United Methodist flocks than for bringing in congregants from other faiths.
Why wouldn't the bishop of Oklahoma set pay scales to encourage pastors to grow the United Methodist pie rather than encouraging competition among his own ministers? It turns out that the bishop of Oklahoma doesn't set ministers' pay at all but leaves it to the discretion of local congregations. To understand why, it's important to keep in mind that a pastor needs to do a lot besides scouting new converts-he should show compassion to members in sickness or in financial trouble, deliver thoughtful sermons, set an example for the community. The bishop has neither the time nor the localized information required to evaluate each of his hundreds of pastors on these hard-to-measure tasks. So he leaves the task to each church, but with the cost that local interests prevail. And local interests may be well-served by attracting other Methodists, who may be more stable, dues-paying members than those who are new to the church.
The bishop does, however, get the last word, through his choice of which pastors get promoted to the choicest pulpits. And he uses this reward to at least partially reverse the backward incentives of local congregations. The study found that the path to high-paying, prestigious congregations is through converting people of other faiths, not stealing Methodist sheep.
None of this is to say that Oklahoma's ministers are inspired by paychecks alone-while their pay-for-performance sensitivity is similar to that of business leaders, the sums involved are much, much smaller (their average compensation was around 35,000 in 2006). But it is a reminder that even in circumstances in which one wouldn't expect material rewards to be a motivation, a higher calling may not be enough.

Isaak Newton And The Rosicrucians
Perhaps the movement which most influenced Isaac Newton was Rosicrucianism. Though the Rosicrucian movement had caused a great deal of excitement within Europe's scholarly community during the early seventeenth century, by the time Newton had reached maturity the movement had become less sensationalized. However, the Rosicrucian movement still would have a profound influence upon Newton, particularly in regard to his alchemical work and Philosophical thought.
The Rosicrucian belief in being specially chosen for the ability to communicate with angels or spirits is echoed in Newton's prophetic beliefs. Additionally, the Rosicrucians proclaimed to have the ability to live forever through the use of the elixir vitae and the ability to produce limitless amounts of gold from the use of The Philosopher's Stone, which they claimed to have in their possession. Like Newton, the Rosicrusians were deeply religious, avowedly Christian, anti-Catholic, and highly politicised. Isaac Newton would have a deep interest in not just their alchemical pursuits, but also their belief in esoteric truths of the ancient past and the belief in enlightened individuals with the ability to gain insight into nature, the physical universe, and the spiritual realm.
At the time of his death, Isaac Newton had 169 books on the topic of alchemy in his personal library, and was believed to have considerably more books on this topic during his Cambridge years, though he may have sold them before moving to London in 1696. For its time, his was considered one of the finest alchemical libraries in the world. In his library, Newton left behind a heavily annotated personal copy of "The Fame and Confession of the Fraternity R.C.", by Thomas Vaughan which represents an English Translation of The Rosicrucian Manifestos. Newton also possessed copies of "Themis Aurea" and "Symbola Aurea Mensae Duodecium" by the learned alchemist Michael Maier, both of which are significant early books about the Rosicrucian movement. These books were also extensively annotated by Newton.
Newton's ownership of these materials by no means denotes membership within any early Rosicrucian order. Furthermore, considering that his personal alchemical investigations were focused upon discovering materials which the Rosicrucians professed to already be in possession of long before he was born, would seem to exclude Newton from their membership. During his own life, Newton was openly accused of being a Rosicrucian, as were many members of The Royal Society.[22] Though it is not known for sure if Isaac Newton was in fact a Rosicrucian, and he never publicly identified himself as one, from his writings it does appear that he may have shared many of their sentiments and beliefs.

Hajj Stories Around The World The Spiritual Journey Of Life Time
Following the footstep of Abraham, the father of 3 major monotheistic faith, the sacred Pilgrimage, Hajj is now in the process of start. Muslims from all over the world are taking part in the largest religious and spiritual gathering on Earth, the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. During these historic days, white, brown and black people, rich and poor, kings and peasants, men and women, old and young will all stand before God, all brothers and sisters, at the holiest of shrines in the center of the Muslim world, where all will call upon God to accept their good deeds. The Hajj resembles the re-enactment of the experiences of the Prophet Abraham, whose selfless sacrifice has no parallel in the history of humankind.
This great annual convention of faith demonstrates the concept of equality of mankind, the most profound message of Islam, which allows no superiority on the basis of race, gender or social status. The only preference in the eyes of God is piety as stated in the Quran: "The best amongst you in the eyes of God is most righteous."
While Malcolm X was in Mecca performing his pilgrimage, he wrote to his assistants: "They asked me what about the Hajj had impressed me the most.... I said, 'The brotherhood! The people of all races, colors, from all over the world coming together as one! It has proved to me the power of the One God.'... All ate as one, and slept as one. Everything about the pilgrimage atmosphere accented the oneness of man under one God."
This is what the Hajj is all about. via the Sunday Times.

Crowley was initiated into an irregular lodge in Mexico. He had only four contacts with regular freemasonry, was never active as a freemason, was never recognized as a freemason by any regular body of Freemasonry, and had no impact on Freemasonry.

Who Discovered Designed Or Invented Masonry
No one man, any more than any one man discovered, designed or invented democracy, or philosophy, or science, or any one government. Freemasonry is the result of growth. Many Masons had a part in it; it has taken to itself teachings from many religions, philosophies, systems of knowledge, symbols.
The most generally accepted orthodox belief as to those who "began" Freemasonry is that the Craft is a descendant of Operative Masons. These Operatives inherited from unknown beginnings, of which there may have been several and were probably many, practices and some form of ritual. Speculative Masonry, reaching back through Operative Masonry, touches hands with those who followed unknown religions in which, however, many of the Speculative principles must have been taught by the use of symbols as old as mankind and therefore universal, and not the product of any one people or time.

What Are A Master Wages
According to the ritual, corn, wine and oil are symbolic of the payment a Freemason earns today by "good work, true work, square work." "A Master's Wages" may be the same, may be different, for every brother. They are the friendships formed through Freemasonry; the consciousness of unselfish work; taking part in movements and actions for the betterment of the condition of neighbors; inherent in learning and in making it possible for other men to learn that men of widely different beliefs, convictions, circumstances, education, skills and character may live and work, play and love together in peace and happiness. A Master's Wages are intangible, but the more real because any brother may earn as much as he will.
"I worked for menial's wages Only to learn, dismayed
Any wage I asked of lodge, Lodge would have paid."
This is a paraphrase indicating that there is no limit to the Master's Wages any brother may receive, except that which he may put upon himself.

Did Highranking Freemason Albert Pike Found The Ku Klux Klan
No.
There is no Documentation or record that would suggest that masonic author, Albert Pike, was ever a member of the Ku Klux Klan, much less a founder or leader.
The 19th century Ku Kux Klan was originally organized by six Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee in the spring of 1866. It obligated members only to "have fun, make mischief and play pranks on the public." It was structured into a vehicle for Southern white resistance to Radical Reconstruction at a convention in Nashville, Tennessee in April of 1867 under the leadership of George Gordon. Several weeks later Nathan Bedford Forrest was offered the position of Grand Wizard.
On August 28, 1868 Forrest granted an interview to a reporter from the Cincinnati Commercial, in which he confirmed the existence of the Klan, declared his sympathy and cooperation with them, but denied his membership. In January 1869 Forrest issued "General Order Number One", the only directive to come from Imperial Headquarters, ordering the group be disbanded. Local branches remained active, prompting the U.S. Congress to pass the Force Act of 1870 and the Ku Klux Act in 1871. By the time the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Klan unconstitutional in 1882, it had practically disappeared as an organization although independent acts of violence were to continue under the banners of the American Protective Association and the Whitecap movement, among others. The growth, decline and Transformation of the 20th century Klan has no connection with the original Klan, other than the name.
Confederate Lieutenant General and the Klan’s first (and only) Grand Wizard, Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-1877), was an Entered Apprentice of Angorona Lodge No. 168 in Memphis, Tennessee. There is no record of his having progressed further or having been active in Freemasonry. Not having received the Master Mason degree, under the rules of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, he would not have been considered a freemason.
Although 1915 Klan organizer Colonel William Joseph Simmons was a freemason, he was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows, and eight other lodges. He was never a Grand Lodge or lodge officer in Freemasonry. There is no available documentation that Edward Young Clarke or David Curtis Stephenson were freemasons.
As a counterpoint, note that famous slavery abolitionist, John Brown was at one time an active freemason, while the two major proponents of the Ku Klux Act, Benjamin F. Butler and John Scott were also active freemasons. As always, it should be stressed that regular Freemasonry is not concerned with politics, leaving its members to act as their conscience dictates.

Creed For Theistic Satanists To Leon
Hi D,
In your view, is gift a lead in theistic satanism for everything at the same time as a "nicene doctrine" for the being (or group)?
I'm hectic researchng one for face-to-face to hold close a give instructions send somebody a bill of desire, but what sayeth u?
There's no one "Belief" that would work for all theistic Satanists. Principles are way too wide-ranging by us. I each don't grasp it's correctly to try to milled an accord for all theistic Satanists, in the same way as that would fight the freedom and supreme respect which, at bare minimum in impression, are an solution part of what Satan stands for in furthermost forms of Satanism.
But I grasp it's healthy for being Satanist groups to hold close their own creeds, to milled a wits of routine application for the specific group. I precisely don't grasp that any such doctrine necessary be feasible to theistic Satanism as a whole, with the phantom that citizens who fight aren't "true Satanists."
The New York Town proto-congregation of the Church of Azazel now has a squat ritual that is rather Creed-like, bit not a Belief "per se": Assertion of our routine application.

Is Freemasonry A Religion Or Has It A Religion
No, to both questions. "A" religion connotes some particular religion. Freemasonry is nonsectarian. Before its Altar Christian, Jew, Mohammedan, Buddist, Gentile, Confucian, may kneel together. If the question be phrased "Is Freemasonry religious" then the obvious answer is that an institution "erected to God" which begins its Ceremonies and ends its meeting with prayer; which has a Holy Book upon its Altar; which preaches the fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man, of course, has a religious character, although, let it be emphasized again, wholly nonsectarian.
All Grand Lodges require their initiates to express a belief and trust in God. No atheist can be made a Mason.

Founding Fathers Secret Societies Freemasons Illuminati Rosicrucians
Book: Founding Fathers Secret Societies Freemasons Illuminati Rosicrucians by Robert Hieronimus
I loved this book! I've always been curious about the eye in the triangle over the pyramid, but all the books by conspiracy writers who say it's a negative symbol proving our founding fathers were Satanists just didn't ring true to me. I knew I'd seen this symbol in churches and other traditions, but it was not until Robert Hieronimus's book that I finally understood why so many secret societies have used these symbols as talismans to promote growth experiences. This is the only book I've ever read that shows the multi-dimensional levels of Interpretations to these (and all) symbols. By decoding the psychological meanings of our nation's Great Seal, Hieronimus is rejuvenating hope for our country.An exploration of the influence of secret societies on the formative documents and symbols of the United States
- Reveals the Founding Fathers’ Spiritual Vision for America as encoded in the Great Seal
- Traces the influence of the Iroquois League of Nations upon the Constitution
- Exposes the deep connections the Founding Fathers had with the Freemasons and other secret societies
All children growing up in America learn who the Founding Fathers were. Most, however, never learn of the founders’ connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and other Esoteric Orders. In Founding Fathers, Secret Societies Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal--which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill--is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal’s reverse, he shows how our current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of our Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision.
This book is a multidimensional discourse on the founding of a Nation whose history is veiled and obscured intentionally in secrecy. The author presents facts about the contributions of indigenous people in the founding of this Nation not told on any level of formal education. The author mentions there were Masonic symbols found in the wilderness of North America where no white man had ever ventured. These symbols were thought to be centuries old. By reading this book one can better figure how America fits into the national & international landscape from the very beginning. I like how the author breaks down the personal charts of the founders Franklin, Washington etc. Not a conspiracy book at all. I found it hard to put down once I started it. The notes and bibliography presents a vast amount of material for further research. I would highly recommend this book to the real seeker of truth, not for those who can not handle the truth. A good companion to this book would be "The Huevolution of Sacred Muur Science Past and Present" by Noble Timothy Myers-El
