Oh Mystery<br />
We are born into the world a star rising in the night. We shine,We burn. Our Bodies ache with love and longing. Our lives filled with sorrow and joy. Then in a moment,so fast,so fast,that star falls below the horizon. And now,here we are,those who remain. And that flickering light becomes memory Held in our minds and your broad embrace. May we cherish the preciousness of it all.<br />
Amen<br />

<p><i>I know all humim beings can enhance their lives that’s a fact! “Proper” Prayer is great and action upon our “proper”prayers can be better if one really knows how. If we really want to change ourselves we must , </i></p>
<h4>{CHANGE YOUR MINDS}</h4>
<p>Learn Techniques that you’ll need to Uplift your whole being physically mentally &amp; spiritually! We know the thoughts are there and you have been thinking about them Whether it’s Huda, or Egiptian Yoga, or AEO Meditation or anything you think will help you with some of things that are mentioned below that one could ask for…<br />
Make Your Own Happy Holiday This Year!!! (((((KEEP READING BELOW!!!!!))))) In Love with the NUWAUBU:<br />
form :<strong>DA NEBO MASTERS</strong><br />
I asked The Neteru to take away all my bad habits.<br />
The Neteru said, No.<br />
It is not for The Neteru to take away, but for you to give them all up.</p>
<p>I asked The Neteru to make my handicapped child whole<br />
The Neteru said, No.<br />
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.</p>
<p>I asked The Neteru to grant me patience.<br />
The Neteru said, No.<br />
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;<br />
it isn’t granted, it is learned.</p>
<p>I asked The Neteru to give me happiness.<br />
The Neteru said, No.<br />
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.</p>
<p>I asked The Neteru to spare me pain.<br />
The Neteru said, No.<br />
Suffering draws you apart from worldliness and brings you closer to The Neteru.</p>
<p><strong><i>Keep READING!!!</i></strong><br />
I asked The Neteru to make my spirit grow.<br />
The Neteru said, No. You must grow on your own! but The Neteru will prune you to make you fruitful.</p>
<p>I asked The Neteru for all things that I might enjoy in life.The Neteru said, No.The Neteru will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.</p>
<p>I ask The Neteru to help me LOVE others, as much as The Neteru loves me.The Neteru said..Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.<br />
<strong>THIS DAY IS YOURS! USE IT WISELY!</strong><br />
“To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world”</p>
<p><strong><i>Keep READING!!!</i></strong><br />
If you don’t believe in “The Neteru” or you are just scientific, that’s fine. This all still applies. Change the word, “The Neteru” to whatever makes you comfortable…<br />
“Go beyond belief. When it comes to promoting physical health, we don’t just study medical texts and read self-help books. We have to put healthy<br />
precepts into practice. Similarly, the peace and inner strength that comes from spiritual wellness depends not only on what we believe but on what we do. Spiritual time management-making room in your day for proper prayer, proper meditation, proper rituals, proper sacred music and other ways to commune with the sacred as you overstand it-can strengthen your spiritual immune system. Voluminous data on meditative disciplines support the importance of regular spiritual practice regardless of one’s faith tradition (or lack of one).<br />
Taking the time for practices that enhance inner peace can be one of<br />
the healthiest lifestyle choices you can make. ”<br />

<h3>The Sacred Seven Prayers</h3>
<p>O Great Spirit, who art before all else and who dwells in every object, in every person and in every place, we cry unto Thee. We summon Thee from the far places into our present awareness.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of the North, who gives wings to the waters of the air and rolls the thick snowstorm before Thee, Who covers the Earth with a sparkling crystal carpet above whose deep tranquillity every sound is beautiful. Temper us with strength to withstand the biting blizzards, yet make us thankful for the beauty which follows and lies deep over the warm Earth in its wake.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of the East, the land of the rising Sun, Who holds in Your right hand the years of our lives and in Your left the opportunities of each day. Brace us that we may not neglect our gifts nor lose in laziness the hopes of each day and the hopes of each year.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of the South, whose warm breath of compassion melts the ice that gathers round our hearts, whose fragrance speaks of distant springs and summer days, dissolve our fears, melt our hatreds, kindle our love into flames of true and living realities. Teach us that he who is truly strong is also kind, he who is wise tempers justice with mercy, he who is truly brave matches courage with compassion.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of the West, the land of the setting Sun, with Your soaring mountains and free, wide rolling prairies, bless us with knowledge of the peace which follows purity of striving and the freedom which follows like a flowing robe in the winds of a well-disciplined life. Teach us that the end is better than the beginning and that the setting sun glorifies not in vain.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of the heavens, in the day’s infinite blue and amid the countless stars of the night season, remind us that you are vast, that you are beautiful and majestic beyond all of our knowing or telling, but also that you are no further from us than the tilting upwards of our heads and the raising of our eyes.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of Mother Earth beneath our feet, Master of metals, Germinator of seeds and the Storer of the Earth’s unreckoned resources, help us to give thanks unceasingly for Your present bounty.</p>
<p>O Great Spirit of our souls, burning in our heart’s yearning and in our innermost aspirations, speak to us now and always so that we may be aware of the greatness and goodness of Your gift of life and be worthy of this priceless privilege of living.</p>

<h1>Prayer for Protection</h1>
<p>O God, you are my Lord. There is none worthy of worship except You. I rely upon You, and You are the Great Lord of the Throne. Whatever God wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. There is no power or strength except by God. I know that God is able to do anything, and that God knows all. O God I seek refuge in You from the evil in myself and every creature that You have given power over us. Verily my Lord is on the straight path.</p>

<p>Father, I thank You for what You for Your hand of protection upon my family, friends and myself for this coming New Year. Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You that You watch over Your Word to perform it. I thank You that my family, friends and I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and that we remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand. I cover my family, friends and I with the Precious Blood of Jesus, Your Son, thus keeping us safe from the hideous snares of Satan and all his cohorts.<br />
Father, You are our refuge and our fortress. No evil shall befall us – no accident shall overtake us nor shall any plague or calamity come near my home. I release ministering angels to go forth and to encompass over my family, friends and myself, to accompany and defend and preserve us in all our ways of obedience and service. They are encamped around about us. I bind the devil from trying to influence them in any way this holiday. Shelter us in the palm of Your hand and save our homes from all storms.<br />
Keep us close to Your Heart.<br />
Father, You are our confidence, firm and strong. You keep our feet from being caught in a trap or hidden danger. When we lie down, You will give my family, friends and myself peaceful sleep. Father, You give this family safety and ease us – Jesus is our safety! In Jesus Name, AMEN</p>

<div class="prayer-hedding">THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD PRAYER TO BEGIN YOUR DAY!!</div>
<div class="prayercnt-lft-side">
<h3>Ephesians 6:12-18 (NKJV)</h3>
<p>12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.<br />
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.<br />
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,<br />
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;<br />
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.<br />
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;<br />
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints–</p>
</div>
<div class="plain-txt">“Good morning, Lord. Thank You for assuring me of victory today – if I will but follow Your battle plan! So, by faith, I claim victory over _________ (list the things you know you will face today).To prepare myself for the battle ahead, by faith, I put on the Belt of Truth. The truth about You, Lord–that You are a sovereign God who knows everything about me, both my strengths and my weaknesses. Lord, You know my breaking point and have promised not to allow me to be tempted beyond what I am able to bear. The truth about me, Lord, is that I am a new creature in Christ and have been set free from the power of sin. The Holy Spirit lives in me and will guide me and warn me when danger is near. I am Your child, and nothing can separate me from Your love. The truth is that You have a purpose for me this day –someone to encourage, someone to share with, someone to love.<br />
Next, Lord, I want to put on the Breastplate of Righteousness. Through this, I guard my heart and my emotions. I will not allow my heart to attach itself to anything that is impure. I will not allow my emotions to rule in my decisions. I will set them on what is right and good and just. I will live today by what is true, not by what I feel.<br />
Lord, this morning I put on the Sandals of the Gospel of Peace. I am available to You, Lord. Send me where You will. Guide me to those who need encouragement or physical help of some kind. Use me to solve conflicts wherever they may arise. Make me a calming presence in every circumstance in which You place me. I will not be hurried or rushed, for my schedule is in Your hands. I will not leave a trail of tension and apprehension. I will leave tracks of peace and stability everywhere I go.<br />
I now take up the Shield of Faith, Lord. My faith is in You and You alone. Apart from You, I can do nothing. With You, I can do all things. No temptation that comes my way can penetrate Your protecting hand. I will not be afraid, for You are going with me throughout this day. When I am tempted, I will claim my victory, out loud, ahead of time, for you have promised victory to those who walk in obedience to Your Word. So, by faith, I claim victory even now, because I know there are fiery darts of evil and attacks headed my way even as I pray. Lord, You already know what they are and have already provided the way of escape.<br />
Lord, by faith, I am putting on the Helmet of Salvation. You know how satan can bombard my mind day and night with evil thoughts, doubt, and fear. I put on this helmet that will protect my mind. I may feel the impact of his attacks, but nothing can penetrate this helmet. I choose to stop every impure and negative thought at the door of my mind. And, with theHelmet of Salvation, those thoughts will get no further. I elect to take every thought captive: I will dwell on nothing but what is good and right and pleasing to You.<br />
Lastly, I take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, the Holy Bible. Thank You for the precious gift of Your Word. It is strong and powerful and able to defeat even the strongest of satan’s attacks on me. Your Word says that I am not under obligation to my flesh to obey its lusts. Your Word says that He (the Holy Spirit) that is in me is greater than he (satan) that is in the world. So, by faith, I take up the strong and powerfulSword of the Spirit, which is able to defend me in times of attack, comfort me in times of sorrow, teach me in times of meditation, and prevail against the power of the enemy on behalf of others who need the Truth to set them free.<br />
So, Lord, I go now rejoicing that You have chosen me to represent You to this lost and dying world. May others see Jesus in me, and may satan, and his hosts and demons, shudder as Your power is made manifest in me. In Jesus’ Name I pray — Amen.”</div>

<h2>Prayers for Help in Times of Trouble</h2>
<p><strong>Incline Thine Ear, O HaShem</strong></p>
<p>A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O HaShem, and answer me; for I am poor and needy. Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day. Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For Thou, L-rd, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O HaShem, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.</p>
<p>Source: Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)</p>
<h3>The Peacock’s Prayer (for Protection)</h3>
<p>This is the Theravadian version of the Peacock protection prayer. Not a mantra, rather it’s a Paritta…nonetheless still for protection. And below is the story of the peacock. Indeed, the peacock is a symbol of protection aganist illness, poisons and many other negativities not only in Buddhism, but also in other cultures and religions, such as Hinduism. So, it goes back a long long time, not confined to Buddhism.</p>
<h2>The Peacock’s Protection Prayer (Mora Paritta)</h2>
<p>The Great Being (the Buddha-to-be) was born as a peacock,fufilling the necessary requirements for obtaining Enlightenment, and having arranged protection for himself by means of this protective discourse. Him, the Great Being, although the hunters</p>
<p>Strived for quite a long time, they were not able to capture. This was prescribed by Lord Buddha as an Exalted Charm.Oh thou! Let us recite this protective discourse.</p>
<p>“There he rises, the thousand-eyed king,Making the world bright with his golden light.Thee I worship, Oh glorious wing, with thy golden light, making the world bright.Keep me safe, I pray, through the coming day.</p>
<p>“The saints, the righteous, wise in the entire holy lore,They may protect me and to them I adore Honour be to the wise, honour be to wisdom To freedom, and to those who had achieved freedom.</p>
<p>Having made this protection the peacock went about to seek food.</p>
<p>There he sets, the thousand-eyed king, He that makes the world bright with his golden light.Thee I worship, On glorious wing,With thy golden light making the world bright.Through the night, till the next day; Keep me safe, I pray.</p>
<p>The saints, the righteous, wise in the entire holy lore,They may protect me, and to them I adore.Honour be to the wise, honour be to wisdom.To freedom, and to those who had achieved freedom.Having made this protection, that peacock rested happily at home,</p>
<h3>Another version:</h3>
<p>The One King, rising, with Vision,Golden-hued, illumining the Earth:I pay homage to you,Golden-hued, illumining the Earth.Guarded today by you, may I live through the day.</p>
<p>Those Brahmans who are knowers of all truths,I pay homage to them; may they keep watch over me.Homage to the Awakened Ones. Homage to Awakening.Homage to the Released Ones. Homage to Release.</p>
<p>Having made this protection, the peacock sets out in search for food.</p>
<p>The One King, setting, with Vision,Golden-hued, illumining the Earth:I pay homage to you,Golden-hued, illumining the Earth.Guarded today by you, may I live through the night.</p>
<p>Those Brahmans who are knowers of all truths,I pay homage to them; may they keep watch over me.Homage to the Awakened Ones, Homage to Awakening.<br />
Homage to the Released Ones, Homage to Release.</p>
<p>Having made this protection, the peacock arranges his nest.</p>
<h3>The Prayer</h3>
<p><strong>Ode to the daily by the Tenth King : </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Having first remembered God the Almighty, think of Guru Nanak.</li>
<li>Then of Angad Guru and Amar Das, and Ram Das, may help us.</li>
<li>Remember Guru Arjan, Guru Har Gobind and the holy Guru Har Rai.</li>
<li>Let us think of holy Har Krishan whose sight dispels all sorrows.</li>
<li>Let us remember Tegh Bahadur and the nine treasures shall come hastening to our homes.</li>
<li>May they all assist us everywhere.</li>
<li>May the tenth King holy Guru Gobind Singh the lord of hosts and protector of the faith assist us everywhere:</li>
<li>Turn your thoughts. O, Khalsa to the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib and call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>The five Beloved Ones and Master’s four sons, the forty Saved Ones and other righteous steadfast and longsuffering souls : think of their deeds and call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>Those men and women who keeping the name in their hearts shared their earnings with others; who piled the sword and practiced charity; who saw other’s faults; but overlooked them : think of their deeds and call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>Those who for their religion allowed themselves to be cut up limb by limb had, their scalps scraped off, were broken on the wheel, were sawn of flayed alive : think of their sweet resignation are call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>Those who to purge the Gurdwaras of longstanding evils, suffered themselves to be ruthlessly beaten or to imprisoned to be shot, cut up or burnt alive with kerosene oil, but did not make any resistance or utter even a sigh or complaint : think of their patient faith and call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>Think of all the different Gurdwaras, thrones of religious authority and other places hallowed by the touch of the Guru’s feet and call on God. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>Now the whole Khalsa offers his prayer.</li>
<li>Let the whole Khalsa bring to his mind the Name of the Wonderful Lord.</li>
<li>And as he thinks of Him, may be feel completely blessed.</li>
<li>May God’s protection and grace extend to all the bodies of the Khalsa wherever they are.</li>
<li>May the Lord’s glory be fulfilled and His dispensation prevail.</li>
<li>May victory attend our charity and our Arms.</li>
<li>May God’s sword help us.</li>
<li>May the Khalsa always triumph.</li>
<li>May the Sikh choirs, banners, mansions abide for ever and ever.</li>
<li>The Kingdom of justice come.</li>
<li>May the Sikhs be united in love.</li>
<li>May the hearts of the Sikhs be humble, but their wisdom exalted – their wisdom in the keeping of the Lord O Khalsa. Say the Lord is wonderful. (Wonderful Lord !)</li>
<li>O true King ! O loved Father ! In these ambrosial hours of the morn we have sung. Thy sweet hymns heard They life giving Word and have discoursed on They manifold blessings May these things find a loving place in our hearts and serve to draw our souls towards Thee.</li>
<li>Save us, O Father, from lust, wrath greed, undue attachment and pride : and keeping us always attached to Thy feet.</li>
<li>Grant to they Sikhs the gift of Sikhism. The gift of They name, the gift of faith, the gift of confidence in Thee, and the gift of reading and understanding They Holy Word.</li>
<li>O kind Father, loving Father through. The mercy we have spent the night in peace and happiness : May Thy grace extend to our labors of the day, too, so that we may according to Thy will, do what is right.</li>
<li>Give us light, give us understanding, so that we may know what pleaseth Thee.</li>
<li>We offer this prayer in presence, O wonderful Lord.</li>
<li>Forgive up our sins. Help us keeping ourselves pure.</li>
<li>Bring us into the fellowship of only those men of love. In whose company, we may remember they name.</li>
<li>Through Nanak may Thy name for ever be on the increase.</li>
<li>And may all men prosper by the grace.</li>
</ol>
<p>The Khalsa belongs to the Wonderful Lord, who is always victorious.</p>

<em>Prayer/dedication to Amun-Ra</em><br />
Today is another day I start in thy name<br />
Thee was reborn as the Lord Khepri<br />
Thee was reborn new and with that thee give us new growth, new births, new in all<br />
May I be reborn each morning with thee with new ideas, new opportunities and new abilities<br />
Thee was the Creator Amun as they created the order and the worlds we walk on<br />
Thee was the Creator Re as thee have created me and those walking beside me<br />
Thee was the Creator Atum as thee created the sunset and the acomplishing of things and events</p>
<p>I now ask for thy right eye to not only to protect me, but to give me courage and the ability to overcome all obstacles and in the undertaking of new endavers<br />
I now ask for thy left eye to protect me against all evils, sicknesses and faults<br />
I ask thee to bless me with the power of order, truth and justice from the Lady Maat<br />
I ask thee to bless me with the knowledge and wisdom of our Lord Thoth<br />
I ask thee to bless me with the protection against poor health from our Lord Horis<br />
I ask thee to bless me with plendour, beauty and happiness from our Lady Hathor<br />
I ask thee then to bless me with the skills to work, to do things as our Lady Isis taught those many centuries ago.<br />
Place the sons of Horus around me in a circle to protect me from that which might harm me<br />
Place the Goddess Tefnut and Shu on my right and left sides, and place the God Aten and the God Geb above and below me to from the magic square of elements protection<br />
Place the Goddess Sekmet on my right shoulder and the God Horus on my left shoulder as my guardian angels, protecting me, healing me and providing me with insight, courage and determination. This is easy as playing pokies games through free online <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.net.au/">pokies</a> games website where you can learn about how pokies games work.<br />
I walk thy path, I am they servant, I am they student Hear my words as I call upon your mercy, your guidance and your energy to guide me Teach me for I am a student at your feet Bless me for I am your servant<br />
I call on thee to place all which is good on my path and to bless me with what I need<br />
I call on thee to bless me with all which is good and to provide me with all which I need</p>

But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ &#8230; </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Backbiting &#038; Slander &#8211; an Islamic perspective</p>
<p>And why did you not, when you heard it, say? &#8220;It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to God, this is a most serious slander&#8221; (Quran 24:16)<br />
A commentary on one of the most destructive of major sins</p>
<p>Islam is a religion of peace, love and compassion. Lies, suspicion, back biting, slander and gossip are totally alien to Islam. In fact they are considered amongst the most destructive of major sins. This is so because these sins sow enmity and discord among the Muslim Ummah and lead to its destruction. They cause hostilities between people of the same household, and between neighbors, friends and relatives. </p>
<p>Islam demands that our relationship with mankind should be one of sincerity and responsibility. It should be one where we have respect for the honor, reputation and privacy of others. Islam teaches us that we are not only held accountable for our own attitudes and actions but also for anything else over which we have control or influence over, in our society or the world around us.</p>
<p>Verses: Let&#8217;s see what the Quran states about backbiting and slander &#8211; This is the Book, in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God. (2:2)</p>
<p>God has forbidden the believers from backbiting</p>
<p>O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (49: 12) </p>
<p>When we reflect deeply over this assimilation it should be enough to keep us away from backbiting! </p>
<p>Do not treat the issue of Backbiting &#038; Slander with indifference because it is a great sin</p>
<p>Behold, you received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things which you had no knowledge; and you thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of God (24: 15) </p>
<p>Many of us back bite and gossip without thinking. We think it is minor matter, however God reminds us to be careful and even though we think we are doing something little it is in fact very big in the sight of God!</p>
<p>God teaches us to speak out against Slander and try to put a stop to it</p>
<p>And why did you not, when you heard it, say? &#8220;It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to God, this is a most serious slander&#8221; (24:16)</p>
<p>Many people are so busy spreading the slander they hear that they do not even stop to think if it is true or not.</p>
<p>Shaitan (Satan) wants us to use our tongue to create conflict and hatred </p>
<p>Say to My servants that they should only say those things that are best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. (17:53)</p>
<p>Are we falling into Shaitan&#8217;s (Satan&#8217;s) trap? We can all analyze ourselves.</p>
<p>Hadiths: Let&#8217;s see what Prophet Muhammad  said about Backbiting in the hadiths. God states in the Quran &#8211; You have indeed in the Messenger of God an excellent pattern of conduct. (33:21)</p>
<p>The definition of Backbiting &#038; Slander </p>
<p>Prophet Muhammad  said :&#8221;Do you know what backbiting is?&#8221; They said, &#8220;God and His Messenger know best.&#8221; He then said, &#8220;It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike.&#8221; Someone asked him, &#8220;But what if what I say is true?&#8221; The Messenger of God  said, &#8220;If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him.&#8221; (Muslim) </p>
<p>We should guard our tongue from sins and use our limbs in acts of obedience </p>
<p>Prophet Muhammad  said : &#8220;Who protects his tongue from unlawful utterances and his private parts from illegal sexual intercourse, I shall guarantee him entrance into Paradise.&#8221; (Bukhari and Muslim) </p>
<p>The definition of the best muslim </p>
<p>&#8220;I asked the Messenger of God : Who is the best Muslim? The Messenger of God replied, &#8220;He is the one from whom Muslims are safe from the evil of his tongue and hands.&#8221; (Muslim) </p>
<p>Deriding people in their presence by making negative facial expressions or by hand gestures while they are unaware is also a form of backbiting.</p>
<p>We need to beware of the slipping of our tongues</p>
<p>&#8220;When man wakes up in the morning each day, all parts of the body warn the tongue saying, ‘Fear God as regards us for we are at your mercy; if you are upright, we will be upright and if you are crooked, we become crooked.’&#8221; (At-Tirmidhee) </p>
