I HATE THE BILLIONAIRE SS MAFIA AND YOU?Posted on
Friday, December 1, 2006 at 06:16PM by Dear Bro Phil, Thats why the most prominent families from the European aristocracy who slowly sold out Europe to the Vatican Satan and the Zionist elite starting from the 17th century ended up getting married with eachother and moving to the American colonies so to keep their status forever and create a new Vatican-Jerusalem Supreme Mafia in the United States that could rule the world in despotism and eventualy create a New World Order under Rome and Jerusalem (Christianity and Judaism) .This was done from the begining at the expense of the aristocratic families who opposed the Vatican or the Zionist plot and money offers, these families were eventualy destined to poverty or simply extintion in the following centuries. At the begining of last century the situation got so bad for some of the aristocratic bloodlines who didnt follow the illuminati Orders that many of them started to marry rich American illuminati in a last attempt to preserve their castles and their status at home in the old continent , but also to get involved with those 13th bloodlines that realy started at that point to rule the scene from the United States. T And to destroy or submit any opponents of the illuminati plan left in the aristocracy (if their were any ) they deliberately created communism,fascism and Nazism to give them the final blow. Some of the Russian aristocrats who actualy were amongst the few in Europe opposing this plot were eliminated or sent to exile in places were the illuminati had full control over them like atheist France home of the Grand Orient. In regards to Diana she was killed
because she was with a guy like Dodi that I will not define as a proper
muslim but as a infedel doing cocaine , dealing weapons and going with
prostitutes only two weeks before his death he basicly deserved to die if
you know what I mean especialy after making Diana pregnant (did he think he
was fucking a babylonian hore??? ) , well I gave my positive opinion at the
time to the Brethern in open Lodge later on for this execution in Paris in
full illuminati style. And I tell you more dear Phil there is a connection here with the murder of Princess Grace (ordered by the Vatican) was actualy carried out by the corrupt Templars/Secret police forces of the time in Nice (evidence of Tempar infiltration and manipulation in Nice at that time gave even birth to a big scandal later well documented on the french press of the early 80's ) , Templars secretely controlled by illuminati Freemason Grand Masters like Jean Pierre Giudicelli , known for his links with the P2 and the Jesuits trough Massimo Introvigne were in charge of operations in that area . Helping the French intelligence in this delicate assasination the Canadian intelligence because of the Order of the Solar Temple experiment that unfortunately involved Princess Grace. Michael Jackson in Dubai at the moment trying to save his soul after his perverse years in the illuminati phedophile trap.

MANUALS OF THE BLACK NOBILITY VOL 1Posted on
Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at 05:57PM by MANUALS
OF THE BLACK NOBILITY VOL 1 (in the photo Leo when he was still a Knight of Malta,a puppet of the Vatican) "The Book of the Sacred Magic
of Abramelin the Mage" No Black,white or Red Magic without
Jinns or Angels Im afraid. In The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, you can discover the name of all these diabolical entities and come in contact with them or if you are a true illuminati you can finaly at the end of this Ordeal have contact with the Angels , needless to say its very very dangerous to try , and you will be a fool to even try it once if you dont want to end up in hell, or more likely in a mental asylum surrounded by evil illuminati waiting for your psicotic soul. So the ones who end the ritual succesfully to my knowledge are none within the illuminati circles because they all end up being possessed like the Black Nobility of Venice and their evil illuminati Lodges of Martinism and the likes. "A.Crowley tried the Sacred Magic of Abramelin (obviously 666 had to do it! ) and got completely possesed by one of the bigest Jinn Lucifer . This after getting a copy of this rare book (at the time) from Samuel Liddell (or Liddel) "MacGregor" Mathers, born as Samuel Liddell (January, 1854 â November, 1918), a famous magician and Mentor of A.Crowley in the Golden Dawn, Brother Samuel was one of the most influential figures in modern Occultism. He is primarily known as one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a ceremonial magic order whose offshoots still exist today in the dark world of the Nazi illuminati. Is translations of such books as The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, The Kabbalah Unveiled, The Key of Solomon The King and The Lesser Key of Solomon were responsible for making what had been obscure and inaccessible material widely available to the non-academic English speaking world and their illuminati slaves." The Golden Dawn had been created by the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia in London, a Rosicrucian College of illuminati Freemasons from the United Grand Lodge of England.

INTRODUCTION, BY S. L. MAC GREGOR MATHERS.
This "Library of the Arsenal," as it is now called, was founded as a private collection by Antoine RenĂŠ Voyer D'Argenson, Marquis de Paulny; and was first opened to the public on the 9th FlorĂŠal, in the fifth year of the French Republic (that is to say, on 28th April, 1797), or just a century ago. This Marquis de Paulny was born in the year 1722, died in 1787, and was successively Minister of War, and Ambassador to Switzerland, to Poland, and to the Venetian Republic. His later years were devoted to the formation of this Library, said to be one of the richest private collections known. It was acquired in 1785 by the Comte DâArtois, and to-day belongs to the State. It is situated on the right bank of the Seine, in the Rue de Sully, near the river, and not far from the Place de la Bastille, and is known as the "Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal". In round numbers it now possesses 700,000 printed books, and about 8000 manuscripts, many of them being of considerable value. Among the latter is this Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin, as delivered by Abraham the Jew unto his son Lamech; which I now give to the public in printed form for the first time. xvi Many years ago I heard of the existence of this manuscript from a celebrated occultist, since dead; and more recently my attention was again called to it by my personal friend, the well-known French author, lecturer and poet, Jules Bois, whose attention has been for some time turned to occult subjects. My first-mentioned informant told me that it was known both to Bulwer Lytton and Ăliphas LĂŠvi, that the former had based part of his description of the Sage Rosicrucian Mejnour on that of Abra-Melin, while the account of the so-called Observatory of Sir Philip Derval in the "Strange Story" was to an extent copied from and suggested by that of the Magical Oratory and Terrace, given in the Eleventh Chapter of the Second Book of this present work. Certainly also the manner of instruction applied by Mejnour in "Zanoni" to the Neophyte Glyndon, together with the test of leaving him alone in his abode to go on a short journey and then returning unexpectedly, is closely similar to that employed by Abra-Melin to Abraham, with this difference, that the latter successfully passed through that test, while Glyndon failed. It would also be especially such experiments as those described at length in the Third Book, which the author of the "Strange Story" had in view when he makes Sir Philip Derval in the MS. history of his life speak of certain hooks describing occult experiments, some of which he had tried and to his surprise found succeed. This rare and unique manuscript of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin, from which the present work is translated, is a French translation from the original Hebrew of Abraham the Jew. It is in the style of script usual at about the end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries, and is apparently by the same hand as another MS. of the Magic of the famous Picatrix 1 also in the "Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal". I know of no other existing copy or replica of this Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin, not even in the British Museum, were there is an enormous collection of Occult Manuscripts I have studied. The provenance of the manuscript The grimoire is framed as a sort of
epistolary novel or autobiography in which Abraham of Worms describes his
journey from Germany to Egypt and reveals Abramelin's magical and
Kabbalistic secrets to his son Lamech. Internally the text dates itself to
the year 1458 were it was translated by the Black nobility of Venice from
the jewish language. All German manuscript copies of the text consist of four books: an autobiographical account of the travels of Abraham of Worms to Egypt, a book of assorted materials from the corpus of the practical Kabbalah (including some which is duplicated in the German Jewish grimoire called "The Sixth and 7th Books of Moses"). and the two books of magic given by Abramelin to Abraham. The well-known English translation by S.L. MacGregor Mathers from the French Manuscript in Paris contains only three of the four books. The Aramaic version in Oxford is limited to Book One, without reference to the further books. The German copies seem to date to the time period in which they internally claim to have been written, namely the 15th century, and of these, the Dresden manuscript is taken by scholars to be the authoritative text. An analysis of the spelling and language usage in the French manuscript indicates that this copy likely dates to the 18th century. Further, it gives few indications of having been copied from an Hebrew original as they claim, for although the author quotes from the Jewish Book of Psalms, the version given is not from the Hebrew; rather, it is from the Latin Vulgate, a translation of the Bible employed by Roman Catholics at that time. Yes the ROMAN CATHOLICS IN VENICE , THE BLACK NOBILITY and the Council of ten. Once again we found a connection with the illuminati in one of the key places for their business and military tecniques in the old days , and thats the magical city of Venice . Lets never forget that Brother Casanova (a Freemason) was arrested at one point because he abused the power of another key text for the evil illuminati, and that text we already mentioned is called PICATRIX a real manual of black magic manipulation like no other , a book you should not even open in front of your eyes if you are a beliveer and want to stay that way. But in the illuminati the Picatrix is used and abused all over the place for their own evil goals. One of the most dangerous black magical formulas of the Picatrix is actualy made to kill people in distant places just by using certain elements and the power of your mind, but in the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage you can do even more because its a book that puts you in direct contact with Lucifer ,Leviathan,Satan,Belial and many many more Jinn , all mentioned by name. I mean what more you want when you can do rituals to literaly cause Armed Men to appear right in front of your eyes using the power of the Jinns, check out againf THE TWENTY-NINTH CHAPTER FOR EXAMPLE:
(1) To cause an Army to appear. (2) Armed Men for one's defence., (3) To cause a Siege to appear. ESSENTIAL REMARKS UPON THE FOREGOING SYMBOLS FROM THE SACRED BOOK OF ABRAMELIN THE MAGE: IT is certain that among all the Symbols which I have hereinbefore written down there be many which one can employ for evil (purposes); and I avow that (at first) I intended not to give them here at all; but thereafter I did make reflection in myself that I was working no evil; for often the secret judgments of God permit disgrace, hindrances, infirmities, and other vexing accidents to happen unto Mortals, either to awake them from the lethargy wherein they be sunk so that they recognise not their Creator, or else to give them an opportunity by their afflictions of increasing their merit. And although God can in no way do evil, but always good, nevertheless we cannot deny that occasionally He permitteth the Secondary Causes to act. Now the Executioners and Executors of the Divine justice be the Evil Spirits. Whence I conclude that although it may be in no sense advisable to work Operations for Evil, yet that there may arise, however, certain cases which do admit of and permit the same; as (for example) when it is necessary to save and defend one's own life, or to avert some great scandal or evil, or to prevent offensive acts which might be done against oneself, or to displease God and hurt one's neighbour, as well as in just Wars, and other like cases. Yet it is always best in such instances to govern yourself according to the counsel of your Holy Guardian Angel. I have also written these for the reason that God hath given unto Man free Will both in merit and demerit; for, further, having finished the Operation, if thou shouldest wish (which I pray God not to permit) 1 to operate for Evil and to abuse the Grace which God hath granted thee, the Spirits would be only too ready to give and manifest unto thee the Symbols, and will grant willingly unto thee all that thou shalt demand of them. Concerning this matter I repeat unto thee,--Fear the Lord, love Him, and respect His Commandments with a good heart, and thou shalt live happy and contented upon Earth. If thou considerest maturely what be the essential points of this Operation, thou shalt find that the first point is to make a firm, veritable, and real resolution to live in a truly edifying condition of modesty, and in retirement, as far as it shall be possible for thee so to do. For Solitude is the source of many blessings, such as, to give oneself up to prayer, and unto the contemplation of things Divine; to flee evil conversations and occasions of sin; to live in oneself; and to accustom oneself to continuing a life of such regularity. For if one were to go to present oneself before a King, what would one not do to appear before him with splendour and magnificence; and what diligence and care would not one put in practice to prepare oneself hereunto. Now we must understand that the enjoyment and vision of the Angels of the Lord be infinitely above the Princes of Earth, who in fact are but a vanity, a shadow, and vile dust of Earth. Now if to please these Mortal Princes one would almost commit idolatries; what ought one not to do to appear before the Holy Angels of God who represent the Grandeur of the Majesty of God. Let each one hold for a thing, sure and certain that the Grace which the Lord granteth unto us in giving us this Sacred Science by the means and intermediation of His Holy Angels is so great that none can fitly express it. It is certain that having obtained this Sacred Wisdom thou mayest dispose of it and communicate it unto three friends; but thou must not exceed this Sacred Number of the Ternary, for in such case thou wouldest be altogether deprived of it. One of the most meritorious deeds in the sight of the Lord, is to share with one's neighbour the goods which God hath given unto us; yet must we take note of that which God commanded unto MOSES, when He ordered him to--give the Operation unto AARON his brother, namely that he should receive as the Symbol of an Offering Ten Golden Florins, the which he should distribute unto Seventy-Two poor persons with his own hands, obliging them to repeat the Psalms which I have already mentioned in the Second Book, and which should be of the number of Seventy-Two. For if he who receiveth this Operation should not perform this Alms, the Operation would be void of value for him. Thou, not yet having the Authority to give it, without having received the Ten Golden Florins, thou must act like MOSES, unto whom the Lord granted it on this condition, for him to give it unto his brother AARON. I have also described the precautions which we must take before granting this Sacred Science unto any; and I repeat here that at least Six Months should transpire during which we should frequently test, and seek by conversations to sound, the inclinations of him unto whom we may be willing to give it; so as to know whether he be a reliable person, and also the object for which he demandeth and is anxious to obtain this Science. Now shouldest thou perceive that such an one is light and inconstant, and that he hath only vague ideas, and habits and manners which be not good, the shalt thou temporise with him for a time, so as to bring up causes, occasions, or pretexts, so as not to give it unto him, even shouldest thou already have promised it to him. For it is better to undergo the displeasure of a Mortal Man than that of an Eternal God, from Whom thou hast received so great a Grace. I have, however, myself made trial hereof, for to my great wonderment (once upon a time) when I was thinking that I was putting it to good use in giving it unto a certain person for whom I had great respect; God Himself intervened and did not permit my intention to be carried out, for that person began of his own accord to wonder whether the matter were true or no, and he doubted it much, believing that it was a fable, and did not have an entire faith therein; and he made me comprehend by his discourse that he was not such an one as I had thought. Furthermore it happened that he fell dangerously ill, and I in my turn was reprimanded by my Angel who blamed me for the choice I had made. The whole machinery of the Universe is maintained by Faith; and he who believeth not, suffereth the chastisement of his perfidy both in this World and in the next. I could here say much more relating to our own selves, but as thou wilt have to pass under the influence 1 of thy Holy Guardian Angel, thou wilt be sufficiently instructed in his own good time, and by himself, concerning these matters which be both delicate and to be jealously guarded. 2 The Evil Spirit is so subtle, so keen, and so cunning, that that which he cannot obtain at the time of the Conjuration, he will seek. to have on other occasions in offering thee his services. This is why the very first action to take especially with thy Familiar Spirits, should be to command them, never to say anything unto thee of themselves, but only to speak when thou shalt interrogate them, unless it were to warn thee of matters which concern either thine advantage or thine hurt. For if thou dost not limit their liberty of speech they will tell thee so many and so important things, that they will completely overcloud 1 thine understanding, and thou wilt not know what to believe, so that in the confusion of ideas they could make thee prevaricate, and perhaps fall into irretrievable error. Never make thyself to be greatly entreated in any matter wherein thou canst aid and succour thy neighbour, and do not wait until he demandeth assistance from thee, but seek to know to the full his need even though it be concealed, and give him prompt aid. Also trouble not thyself as to whether he be Turk, Pagan, or Idolater, but do good unto all those who believe in a God. Be especially charitable towards those who are in extreme want, prisoners, or sick, and let thine heart be touched, and succour them generously; for God taketh pleasure in beholding the poor succoured. In the Twenty-Eighth Chapter where it is treated of the way to have Silver and Gold sufficient to supply one's needs on occasion; thou must know that the quantity of Gold or of Silver of which thou hast then actually need, will be at once brought unto thee, and thou canst use it for this occasion only. And if thou usest it not within the twenty-four hours, this sum will disappear and thou wilt no longer be able to avail thyself of . it. Think not, however, that this Gold is but a phantasy, for if thou effectually expendest it, and dost not endeavour to hoard the same, he who shall receive it from thine hands can enjoy the same and expend it according unto his desire, and the money will be real both for him and for others. For once only mayest thou demand of thine Holy Angel the amount of Gold and of Silver which thou shalt judge suitable unto thine estate and conditions. My possessions were few, and I demanded of mine Angel Three Thousand Thousand Golden Florins, 1 and they were granted unto me. Later I made such good use of the Sacred Science, and I understood so well how to augment my goods, that at the present time, after having married three Daughters unto each of whom I gave a hundred thousand (golden florins), as thou wilt see by the testament which I have made, I am leaving in current money more than a Million Golden Florins, besides a large quantity of very valuable furniture. Had I been of noble birth I might have demanded much more and have profited less. When any one demanded of me: "Eh! How have you managed to gain so much?" I would reply thereto that it is a fine thing to know by certain Knowledge how much such or such a thing is worth here, and how much it is worth elsewhere, that this year, wheat, barley, and other crops, will be cheap in Italy, and dear in France, etc., etc.; and that commerce well managed, enricheth any one. As for what concerneth the manner of treating and commanding the Spirits, it is an easy thing unto whomsoever walketh by the proper paths; and it is a very difficult thing for whomsoever through ignorance submitteth himself unto them. I have heard say that there be some men who pass for being famous herein, such as a certain blind man D'ACALI, a certain BEARLI, a PETER D'ABANO, and many others. Ah! how many of them do but deceive themselves! I do not say that these men did not perform extraordinary things; but it is necessary to note their manner of working, for their Science is imperfect, and their Authority proceedeth not from God by the intermediation of His Holy Angels, but proceedeth directly from express Pacts made with the Devil, 1 and (acteth) by means of Consecrated Books full of thousands of Diabolical Conjurations and impious Exorcisms; in one word things which be contrary unto the Commandments of God and the peace of men. And with all this their Operations be destined for certain times and hours, and finally the Demon carrieth away with him their miserable Souls, which thing arriveth only too often. And yet it is the Science of these persons which causeth them to pass for famous Wise Men. In the First Book I have made mention of those whom I had encountered in my journeyings in Europe. The true Commandment is that which dependeth from God, and in which there is no dependence placed on any Spirit imaginable, for in employing them, if you make unto them the least submission, the slightest prayer, or honour, you are rendering yourselves their slaves, and they are in no way submitted unto you. The Spirits have so great knowledge that they comprehend very well by our actions what dispositions we have, and understand our inclinations, so that from the very beginning they prepare the way to make us to fail. If they know that a man is inclined unto Vanity and Pride, they will humiliate themselves before him, and push that humility unto excess, and even unto idolatry, and this man will glory herein and become intoxicated with conceit, and the matter will not end without his commanding them some pernicious thing of such a nature that ultimately thencefrom will be derived that sin which will make the Man the Slave of the Demon. Another man will be easily accessible to Avarice, and then if he take not heed the Malignant Spirits will propose unto him thousands of ways of accumulating wealth, and of rendering himself rich by indirect and unjust ways and means, whence total restitution is afterwards difficult and even impossible, so that he who is in such case findeth himself ever the Slave of the Spirits. Another will be a man of Letters; the Spirits will inspire him with presumption, and he will then believe himself to be wiser even than the Prophets, furthermore they will endeavour to lead him astray in subtle points in matters appertaining unto God, and will make (that man) fall into a thousand errors, the which afterwards when he wisheth to support he will very frequently deny God, and His high Mysteries. The causes and matters whereof (the Spirits) will make use to cause a man to waver are infinite, especially when the man attempteth to make them submit to his commands, and this is why it is most necessary to be upon one's guard and to distrust oneself, The true Commandment will be that which will be given when he who commandeth shall have maturely reflected and considered who he is in himself, and who he is who should serve and obey him. And if a Mortal Man not having on his side the support of the Power and Will of the Lord shall have sufficient force to command the Spirits and to constrain them to obey him; (they, namely) who have the same virtue and power, which God hath granted unto them, they having lost nothing hereof; and they also being Spirits from God and herein differing from thee who art drawn from the mire, as Gold is from Lead; and that their sin is notorious, for the which they were chased from Heaven; figure also unto thyself, that a Spirit which of his own nature is all vanity, would not be likely to submit himself unto thee without a superior 256 force (compelling him), neither would he wish to obey thee nor to serve thee. 1 He who shall reflect and reason upon these particulars will know that all things come unto us from God, and that it is He Who wisheth and commandeth that the Evil Spirits should be submitted unto us. If then all things depend from the Lord, upon whom wilt thou, O Man, base thyself so as to be capable of thyself (alone) to dominate the Spirits? It is certain that such an enterprise cannot succeed without the loss of thine own soul. Then it is by the virtue of that God Who hath submitted them under thy feet, that thou shalt command them, as will be precisely ordained unto thee by thy Holy Angel. "Donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum." "Until I shall make thy foes thy footstool." Also do not familiarise thyself with them; for they be not little pet dogs. Adopt a serious tone and an air of authority, make them obey thee, and be well ware of accepting the least offer which they shall make unto thee of themselves; and treat them as their Master, also without occasion thou shalt never molest them, and order them to execute thy commands from point to point without adding or diminishing in any way imaginable. And when thou canst employ Inferior Spirits (in a matter), thou shalt in no way make thy requests unto the Superiors. Also seeing that all have not the same powers, thou shalt take heed not to command unto one (Spirit) a thing appertaining unto (the office of) another; and because it would be impossible for me to here write down in full the quality, virtue, and office of each Spirit, thou shouldest search this out for thyself and sharpen thy faculties; and in the first demand which thou shalt make unto the Four Spirits (who are) the Supreme Princes, and unto the Eight Sub-Princes; thou shalt demand the most skilful of the Spirits, of whom thou shalt make a register for convenience of the practice which I describe unto thee in this Third Book where also thou wilt find the Symbols of many Spirits. But seeing that the subjects of various erring humours (of mind) and other occasions which arise daily be diverse, each man will procure for himself those (Spirits) which be of his nature and genius and fit for that wherein thou wouldest employ them. 1 And when thou shalt find an extreme resistance unto operating, on the part of any Spirit, after that thou shalt have given him the necessary instructions, and that he cannot execute that which thou hast commanded him; in such case thou shalt convoke the Superior Spirits and demand of them others which may be better capable of serving thee in thy need. And in all cases thou shalt avail thyself of the power and command of thy Holy Angel. Keep ever continually before thine eyes the Fear of God; and seek to obey His Commandments, and those of thy Holy Angel, ever retain in thine heart his holy instructions; never submit thyself unto the Evil Spirits in the slightest degree even should it seem to be to thine own advantage and unto that of thy neighbour (so to do). For the rest, be certain that they will obey thee so perfectly and really, that there will be no operation however great or difficult it may be, that thou shalt not bring unto a glorious termination; the which I myself also have done. As regardeth the service which thou shouldest render unto thy neighbour in his necessities, thou shouldest perform it with zeal, and in no sense wait for him to ask it of thee, and seek also to comprehend his needs unto the uttermost, so as to be able to take sound action (therein). Thou shalt take heed to succour the infirm and the sick and to work for their healing; and see that thou dost not good works to attract praises and to make thyself talked of in the world. Also thou mayest make semblance of performing (thy cures) by prayers, or by ordinary remedies, or by (the recital of) some psalm, or by other like means. Thou shouldest be especially circumspect not to discover the like matters unto reigning Princes; and in this particular thou shalt do nothing without consulting thy Good Angel; for there is a certain generation which is never contented, and besides that which ariseth from simple curiosity, these Princes regard such (action) as a duty and obligation. Also it is a certain fact that he who possesseth this Sacred Magic, hath no need whatever of them. Further they are naturally inclined to ask of thee always things prejudicial, the which if granted by thee would offend the Lord, and if not they become your declared enemies. Now my opinion (is that it) would be always (preferable) to render them what services you can from a distance. There is nothing which is so pleasing unto the Angels as to demand knowledge from them, and for my part I think there is no greater pleasure than that of becoming wise when one learneth from such masters. I both have exhorted, and do exhort unto a solitary life, 1 which is the source of all good; it is true that it is difficult to accustom oneself thereunto; but once thou shalt have obtained the Sacred Science and Magic the love for retirement will come unto thee of thine own accord, and thou wilt voluntarily shun the commerce with and conversation of men; for the pleasure and contentment thou wilt enjoy when thou shalt be the possessor of this Science will be so great that thou wilt despise all amusements, excursions, riches, and every other thing however attractive such may be. For once only will it be permissible to obtain property and goods proportionate unto thy degree and estate; the which afterwards are to be used by spending them liberally for thine own needs and those of thy neighbour, sharing with him in his necessity the good things which God shall have given (unto thee); for he who should employ these for evil ends shall render himself incapable of obtaining from God any other grace and benefit. The Child which one should choose for greater surety and success in (the acquisition of) this Sacred Science should be born of a legitimate marriage, and its father and mother should be also legitimate. It should be from six to seven years of age, vivacious, and witty; it should have a clear speech and pronounce well. Thou shalt prepare it some time before commencing the Operation and have it ready when the time requireth. I myself am of opinion that there should be two (children) in case of any accident which might happen, through sick ness, or death, or other like (hindrance). Thou shalt gain it over to thee by giving it puerile things to amuse it, and have it ready when necessary, but in no way tell it anything of what it is to serve for, so that if it be questioned by its parents it can tell them nothing. And if it be a well-behaved Child, it is all the better. We may be certain that by this means we can arrive at the possession of the Sacred Science; for where he who operateth faileth, the innocence of the Child supplieth (that which is wanting); and the Holy Angels are much pleased with its purity. We should not admit women into this Operation. All the clothes and other things which have been used during the period of the Six Moons, you should preserve, if you intend to continue in the same house wherein thou hast performed the Operation, because they be always good. But if thou dost not intend to use them more, nor yet the Oratory, thou shalt burn them all, and bury the ashes in a secret place. It is now necessary to give unto thee a little light, and declare unto thee the quality and value of the Spirits, and in what thou canst exactly employ them with surety of success. Thou must however take note that each Spirit hath a great quantity of Inferior Spirits which be submitted unto him. Also I wish to say that as regardeth things base, vile, and of little importance the Superior Spirit will not execute them, but will cause them to be executed by his Inferiors with all punctuality. And this mattereth not unto him who operateth provided that his commands be fulfilled, and that he be punctually obeyed. THE ORDER OF THE FIRST HIERARCHY. (SERAPHIM, CHERUBIM, THRONES. 1) THE Spirits of the Seraphim serve to make thee respected and loved for works of Charity, for that which regardeth honours and other similar things. In matters of great importance they themselves act; but for matters base and carnal, it is their subjects who do serve and operate. THE ORDER OF THE SECOND HIERARCHY. DOMINIONS, VIRTUES, AND POWERS. THE property of the Dominions is to dominate; to procure liberty; to vanquish enemies; to give authority over Princes, and over all kinds of persons, even Ecclesiastics (Jesuits love it ! ). The Virtues are proper to give strength and force in all matters whether of War or Peace; and in all Operations concerning the health of men, and in all maladies for which the fatal hour hath not yet been written. The Powers have the dominion over all the Inferior Spirits; and this is why they can serve in all things in general, good or evil, and they are devoted unto all things in general, good or evil; and they be straight and right in execution, very punctual, very prompt, and exact in their Operations. THE ORDER OF THE THIRD HIERARCHY. PRINCES, ARCHANGELS, AND ANGELS. THE Princes comprise Spirits capable of giving Treasures and Riches, and they or their dependants serve in all the Operations, being a mass composed of different Orders, and they are sufficiently truthful. The Archangels be proper to reveal all Occult matters, and all kinds of secret things, such as obscure points in Theology and the Law. They serve with great diligence. The Angels in general do operate each one according unto his quality. There be an infinite number of them. They command the Four Princes and the Eight Sub-Princes in all kinds of Operations. These latter 1 having taken their oath, observe that which they have promised, provided that the Operation one demandeth of them be in their power. To cause the Spirit to re-enter a dead body is a very great and difficult Operation, because in order to accomplish it the Four Sovereign Princes 1 have to operate. Also it is necessary to take great care, and to pay heed unto this warning, namely that we should not commence this Operation until the sick person is really at the point of death, so that his life is absolutely despaired of. It should be so timed as to take place a little while before the sick person giveth up the ghost; and thou shalt carry out all that we have said hereon in the Second Book. But on no account should we perform this Operation to divert ourselves, nor for every class of person; but only on occasions of the very utmost and most absolute necessity. This Operation I myself have performed but twice in my life, namely once for the Duke of Saxonia, and on another occasion in the case of a lady whom the Emperor Sigismond loved passionately.
THE Familiar Spirits are very prompt, and they are able to execute in most minute detail all matters of a mechanical nature, with the which therefore it is well to occupy them; as in historical painting; in making statues; clocks; weapons; and other like matters; also in chemistry; and in causing them to carry out commercial and business transactions under the form of other persons; in making them transport merchandise and other goods from one place to another; also to employ them in causing quarrels, fights, homicides, and all kinds of evils, and malefic acts; also to convey letters and messages of all kinds from one country to another; to deliver prisoners; and in a thousand other ways which I have frequently experimented. These Spirits should be treated according to their quality, and a distinction should be made between a great Spirit and one of a vile or insignificant nature, but thou shouldest nevertheless alway conserve over them that domination which is proper unto him who operateth. In speaking unto them thou shalt give them no title; but shalt address them sometimes as "you," sometimes as "thou"; and thou shalt never seek out expressions to please them, and thou shalt always have with them a proud and imperious air. There be certain little terrestrial Spirits that are simply detestable; Sorcerers and Necromantic Magicians generally avail themselves of their services, for they operate only for evil, and in wicked and pernicious things, and they be of no use soever. He who operateth could, should he so wish, have a million such, but the Sacred Science which worketh otherwise than Necromancy in no way permitteth you to employ such as be not constrained by an Oath to obey you.
ALL that hath hitherto been said and laid down should suffice, and it is in no wise to be doubted that he who executeth all these matters from point to point, and who shall have the right intention to use this Sacred Science unto the honour and glory of God Almighty for his own good, and for that of his neighbour, shall arrive with ease at the possession thereof; and even matters the most difficult shall appear easy unto him. But Human Nature is so depraved and corrupted, and so different from that which the Lord hath created, that few persons, if any, do walk in the right way; and it is so easy to prevaricate, and so difficult not to fall in an Operation which demandeth the whole (soul of a) man in (its) entirety. And in order not to intimidate in any way him who shall resolve to undertake this Operation, I am about here to set down in writing the difficulties, temptations, and hindrances which will be caused him by his own relatives; and all this will be occasioned by the Evil Spirits so as to avoid having to submit themselves, and humiliate themselves, and subject themselves unto Man, their greatest enemy, seeing that they behold him in powerful condition arriving at the enjoyment of that Eternal Glory which they themselves have foolishly lost; and their rage is so great and their grief so poignant, that there is in the world no evil which they be not ready to work, if God were to permit them, they being always attracted by the idea of the destruction of the Human Race. Therefore is it necessary to take courage and make a constant resolution to resist in all things with intrepidity, and to earnestly desire to obtain from God so great a Grace in despite of men and of the Demon. Also beforehand thou shouldest arrange thine affairs in such wise that they can in no way hinder thee, nor bring thee any disquietude in the period of the Six Moons, during which time there will occur the greatest possible attempts at assault and damage unto thee which the keen and subtle Enemy will bring to bear upon thee. He will cause thee to come in contact with evil books, and wicked persons, who by Diabolic methods and tricks will seek to turn thee aside from this enterprise, even though it be already commenced, by bringing before thee matters which in appearance will seem of the greatest importance, but which really be only built up on false (and evil) foundations. To such annoying accidents thou shouldest steadily oppose thyself, by following out carefully the ample instructions which I have given thee, thus banishing them from thee with calmness and tranquillity so as to give no chance to the Enemy of exercising his fraudulent tricks to interrupt thee. Thy relations also, astonished at thy manner of life and thy retirement, will make every effort to attempt to find out the reasons thereof. It will be necessary to satisfy them by words full of affection, and to make them think that time which engendereth change, also causeth men who are not altogether ignorant persons to resolve at times to live by themselves. This hath been the cause why so great a number of good and learned men have retired into desert places, so that being separated from their own relatives and from the world they might live tranquilly in prayer and orisons to render themselves more worthy to obtain through the Grace of the Lord a Gift so great and so perfect.
I FURTHER approve of thy possessing a Bible in the vulgar language, and also the Psalms of David, for thine own use. Some person may here reply: "I understand the Latin, and I have no need of the common language". I answer him that when we pray we ought not in any way to embarrass the Mind by having to interpret the Psalms; for at such a moment we should be as much united as possible to God; and even the Psalms being in the vulgar tongue when one readeth them they imprint themselves better on the memory; and this is the true manner of particular prayer, if the person praying be illiterate, for in saying the Psalms in Latin he would not know what he was asking of God.
IN these Three Books we shall not find the slightest thing which hath not a true and necessary foundation. And we should take the greatest care, and keep ourselves as we would from a deadly poison, from commencing this Operation at all, if we have not made a firm resolution to carry it through unto the end. Because (in the contrary case) some notable evil would befal him who had (carelessly) commenced the Operation, and who would then only too well comprehend that we may not make a mock of the Lord. Should it happen that God by His Will and Commandment should visit thee and afflict thee with some malady which should render thee incapable of finishing the Operation according unto thy wish, thou having already commenced it; then shouldest thou like an obedient servant submit thyself humbly unto His Holy Will and Commandment, reserving His Grace unto the time pleasing unto His Divine Majesty to grant it thee. And thou shalt cease from thine Operation, so as to finish it on another more favourable occasion, and meanwhile thou shalt devote thyself unto the cure of thy body. And such a case ought in no way to afflict thee, for the Secrets of God are impenetrable, and He performeth, permitteth, and operateth all things for the best and for our good, although it may be not understanded of us.
HEREINAFTER Will I set down the Key of this Operation, which is the only thing which facilitateth this Operation to enjoy the Vision of the Holy Angels, by placing the Symbols 1 given hereafter upon the brow of the Child and of him who performeth the Operation, as I have said in the First Book, to which one can easily refer. I will say even as much as this, that out of an hundred scarcely five or six persons can attain unto the possession of this Sacred Magic without this Key; for reasons which one can in no way disclose. Also we should repeat the Psalm VI. "Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me," etc. ("O Lord, afflict me not in Thine Anger").
THERE is nothing in the World which we should so much desire as a true Science, neither is there any more difficult to obtain than this one, because often one dieth before attaining unto it in its entirety. This is the true and only Way of this Sacred Science and Magic which the Lord hath granted unto us by His pure mercy; and is that which in Six Months maketh us attain unto the most high and Occult gifts of the Lord which we can think of. This is the True Science which comprehendeth all other Sciences once one is in possession thereof. Oh! how many books be read among us which seem wonderful! It is not fitting for me even to reveal a part of this Science and its properties; and to appropriate unto myself that which appertaineth unto a person of a great mind and so far above me. 1 In teaching it even, I have far exceeded that which I should have done, in having given unto thee the two last Symbols, but what will not paternal love and affection do? Endeavour only to obey me and to follow out my precepts from point to point, according to the manner in which I have given them unto thee in writing; keeping alway the Fear of God before thine eyes. Also forget not the slightest thing which I have said unto thee in these Three Books, for with the help of God Who ruleth and governeth all things, and reigneth gloriously in Heaven and upon Earth, and Whose Divine justice shineth in Hell; if thou hast recourse unto Him and puttest all thy confidence in His Divine Mercy, thou shalt obtain this Holy Science and Magic whose power is inexpressible. Then, O my Son! and Whosoever may attain thereunto; remember to praise and glorify the Lord, and to pray unto Him that He may be willing to deign and accord unto me His Holy Glory, the place of veritable rest, whereof to me while yet in this Valley of Misery He hath granted a large share through His Goodness and Mercy; and I pray the Lord also that He may be willing to grant it unto thee also with His Holy Benediction, and unto all those who by thy means will arrive at the possession of this Sacred Magic, and who will use it according unto His Holy Will. May God deign, say I, to grant unto such all temporal goods, and a good Death in His Holy Kingdom!

MANY FAITHS ONE SATAN = MODERN FREEMASONRYPosted on
Friday, December 1, 2006 at 09:40PM by Padre Pio and Mother Theresa are Saints not to be confused in any way with the so called Vatican Church Mafia of today a Church they never agreed with in the first place. The Vatican is and always as been, a decadent puppet show of Luciferian forces in the hands of corrupt illuminati Freemasonic Lodges , the Jesuit satanist and the Nazi Zionist, all togheter to establish the Kingdom of their long awaited AntiChrist on earth not a place for true believers to be understood. A man currentely in charge of the White House George W.Bush a monster of true evil the son of a very big Dajal (AntiChrist) indeed and probably the biggest humanity as ever seen from the times of Ancient Egypt George H.Bush a Pharaonic father responsible for a son who has worked for the oppression of the people of this innocent world more then anybody else. A planet corrupt by greed and satanic forces were everybody goes along with it because they are scared to say something (the majority) they enjoy it to much to let it go (the minority)the slave Gods of the end of times this is how illuminati Satanist A.Crowley defined them, Crowley the Beast 666 of the end of times new it very well. We find Rene Guenon also defining as anti-initiatic this power of pure evil of the coming millenium ( and that was more then 50 years ago).Guenon an illustrius Freemason and illuminati openly opposed illuminati Black Magician Crowley and the black magicians of his day and became muslim to avoid being in contact with them. Rene' Guenon anticipated the moments we are living now in many of his publications, reminder of the end of this last faze of the Kali-Yuga as he said many times. Padre Pio opposed openly Freemasonry and sent away a freemason who had the courage to go in front of him is secret but Padre Pio exposed him as a satanist,this is well documented.He also opposed the Vatican Jesuit Mafia and Padre Gemelli,because Padre Pio was a real Saint not to be confused anymore with the Catholic Church of Rome.....always taking the best for themselfs after death obviously not when they are alive unfortunately , a rare case must be admited is Mother Theresa a Saint FUL-STOP. Open your eyes brothers of the
Catholic faith to the disgrace of your Church today, We have to observe unfotunately the work of the Beast A.Crowley in order to further understand the present situation of decadence in western Society.Important moments of this totaly Satanic trasformation for the western powers have been the Crowley illuminati Lodge in California in the 40's with Navy Intelligence SMOM PSYOP Founder of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard ,nearly to evil to be even mentioned and A.Parson the ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS Lodge Master from NASA. These two worked very much on the Satanic infiltration of American Society. Then we have the Beat Hotel group
of CHAOS MAGICIANS or CHORONZON
MAGICIANS if you prefer and thats illumianti agents William Burroughs
and Bryon Gysin. In 1966 Anton LaVey finaly established the Church of Satan
secretely controlled by the Vatican Jesuit Satanist and the 3rd degree
Knights of Malta secret satanic elite that celebrates Black Mass in the
Vatican since time immemorial And in 1974 his son in law (of LaVey) LT.COL.MICHAEL AQUINO working with George H.Bush created the ultimate SATANIC PSYOP ELITE UNIT the so called TEMPLE OF SET, George H.Bush the husband of Crowley's secret daughter Barbara Bush loves it and supports it in the illuminati circles of Yale University promoting the coming of the AntiChrist. The Black Lodge of the illuminati in the USA as defined in a book on the Church of Satan by illuminati satanist LT.Col.Aquino was then fully formed to take over the world militarly trough their corrupt PSYOP BATTALIONS with close assistance from the High Priest of Lucifer in the Vatican the Jesuit General and the Zionist of the Sinagogue of Satan in Jerusalem. And after all this brainwahing we
end up today with our new heroes of the young generations namely Anton LaVey helped George H.Bush
for the creation of the Kingdom of the son the AntiChrist.

Miles Davis is forever the innovator, not only as a musician, but in other realms. His artistic impressions in oil paintings and sketches have drawn critical acclaim and have been shown in galleries around the world.

Muslim-Christian Dialogue and Cooperation in the Thought of Bediuzzaman Said NursiPosted on
Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 02:42PM by Muslim-Christian Dialogue and
Cooperation Thomas Michel, S.J.
In any study of the development of Christian-Muslim dialogue in the 20th Century, special attention must be given to the writings and preaching of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. As one of the first religious thinkers in the course of this century to propose and promote dialogue between Muslims and Christians, Said Nursiâs advocacy of this dialogue dates back to 1911, a full half-century before the Catholic Churchâs Second Vatican Council urged Christians and Muslims to resolve their differences, to move beyond the conflicts of the past and to build relations of respect and cooperation. Bediuzzamanâs repeated promotion of Muslim-Christian dialogue is even more striking in that his recommendations frequently date from times of tension and even warfare between Muslim and Christian peoples. As a Christian reading the voluminous writings of Said Nursi, I find many attitudes and viewpoints expressed with which I immediately resonate. I have discovered in the writings of this committed Muslim thinker many points of contact with my own faith in the One and Only God, as well as many areas in which I find myself wishing that I had known the man in person, so that I could have raised questions, pursued further various elements of his teaching, and profited from his responses. My task in this brief presentation is not to survey the broad outlines of the thought of Said Nursi nor to list the many areas where he offered new and valuable insights, but to look precisely at one topic, that of âMuslim-Christian Dialogue and Cooperation in the Thought of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi.â Even at moments of great tension between Christians and Muslims, such as during the First World War and the following years, Said Nursi was a seminal thinker on the question of Muslim-Christian dialogue. His insights are valid for our own reflection, and many of his insights on the subject are only now beginning to bear fruit within the Muslim and Christian communities of believers. Muslims and Christians united in a critique of civilizations One of the main tasks of every community of believers in God is to face the challenges of the age. Every period in history provides its own unique set of challenges, because people of every historical era and each cultural setting continually succumb to the temptation to replace the values of Godâs will with those of their own desires. The Christian faith has been marked by Jesusâ confrontation with the evils of his age: the collusion of power and religious leadership, a legalistic mentality that gave greater weight to human legal opinions than to the values of compassion and love, an exclusivist religiosity that provided special privileges to some groups while marginalizing the poor, the outsider, the female, and the individual unversed in religious subtleties. Similarly, Islam carries on the tradition of the struggle of Muhammad against the values of unbelief in the Arabia of his time: the arrogance of those who had no use for God and no belief in eternal life, the idolatrous worship of the traditional cult of jahiliyya times, the oppression wrought by powerful persons upon slaves, women, orphans, the outcast, the wayfarer. Our present age has produced its own challenges to sincere believers in God who seek to do Godâs will in all things. These can be summed up in what is usually called âmodern civilization.â It is a civilization which is not all evil and has brought many benefits to humanity. Not all of its spiritual values are opposed to Godâs will, but it affirms and supports many good human qualities. However, modern civilization can include a way of thinking in which people no longer feel a need for God. Not only can people claim to feel no need to worship, thank, and seek help from God, but often they do not look to Godâs Word for guidance and instruction concerning the way to lead their lives. They may choose to follow their own self-conceived philosophies and ideologies. For those who desire to lead their lives in every respect according to Godâs will, a critique of modern civilization is an inescapable task. Said Nursi was one of the pioneer thinkers in our century to recognize that the task of formulating a critical approach to the values of modernity is one that should be carried out together by Muslims and Christians. In 1946, shortly after the end of the Second World War, he stated: âBelievers should now unite, not only with their Muslim fellow-believers, but with truly religious and pious Christians, disregarding questions of dispute and not arguing over them, for absolute disbelief is on the attack.â (1) For Said Nursi, the enemy of human happiness and ethical uprightness is unbelief, irreligion. It is people deciding to find their own path through life, not seeking Divine Guidance, not caring about Godâs will or wise design for humankind, not wishing to give up their own pet desires and ideas to submit to Godâs teaching about human nature and destiny. In seeking to affirm a Divinely-guided way of life in the modern age, Muslims find their natural allies in those Christians who are committed to following the teachings of Jesus and who seek to live according to the truth. Facing a common enemy, that of âaggressive atheismâ, Muslims should unite, according to Said Nursi, ânot only with their own fellow-believers, but also with the truly pious Christians.â (2) For such a common effort to succeed, he holds, Christians and Muslims will have to refrain, at least for the some time, from disputes between these two families of believers. In saying this, Said Nursi is not implying that there are no differences between Muslims and Christians or that those differences which exist are not important. There are real and important differences between Christian and Islamic faith. His point, with which I agree, is that concentrating obsessively on these differences can blind both Muslims and Christians to the even more important common task which they share, that of offering the modern world a vision of human life and society in which God is central and Godâs will is the norm of moral values. It must not be thought that Said Nursi is some kind of anti-modern traditionalist who seeks to turn back the clock. He recognizes that âthere are numerous virtues in [modern] civilization.â (3) These positive values were not solely the products of Europe, but are the property of all and arise from âthe combined thought of humankind, the laws of the revealed religions, innate need, and in particular from the Islamic revolution brought about by the shariâa of Muhammad.â With such positive values of modern civilization, religious people have no quarrel. Rather, they accept and rejoice in the benefits this civilization brings to humankind. His nuanced evaluation of modernity is paralleled by a subtle evaluation of the role of Europe as the main exponent of modern civilization (and, of course, America as its most active disseminator.) He is no doctrinaire scorner of things European, but recognizes that its contributions to modern life are ambiguous and require careful discernment. On the one hand, Europe has brought much good to many people but, on the other, it has caused much damage to human life. He considers that various currents of thought in Western history have enabled negative qualities of modern civilization to emerge and sometimes even predominate over the good. Basically, these developments were two. Firstly, Western civilization, according to Said Nursi, became distant and estranged from true Christianity and based its personal and societal views on the principles of an anthropocentric Greco-Roman philosophy which exalted the human person to the center of the universe and pushed God to its margins. Said Nursi held that European societies replaced divinely guided Christian ideals with the philosophical principles of the Enlightenment, focusing on the freedom of the individual, dismissing the formative role and rights of society, and reducing religious faith to a private, personal commitment with no voice in the autonomous spheres of politics, economics, and social relations. Secondly, Western civilization in its unchecked market policies, was based on âappalling inequality in the means of livelihood.â (4) This awareness of the relationship between globalizing market tendencies which divide the world into winners and losers and philosophical presuppositions that favor the rights and aspirations of the individual is an insight of Said Nursi that presages much recent, at the close of this 20th century, post-modern and post-colonial critique of European civilization. The result, from the point of view of
those who believe in God, is a Europe which presents a double face - a âgoodâ
Europe and a âbadâ Europe. As he said in 1933-1934: This negative current, he holds, seeks to destroy both Muslims and Christians by alienating them from the source of spiritual and moral values and by creating enmity between Christians and Muslims. All those who believe in God and seek to promote a theocentric approach to life must recognize the dangers involved: âIt is essential,â he states, âthat missionaries, pious Christians as well as Nurcus, be extremely careful, for with the idea of defending itself against the attacks of the religions of Islam and Christianity, âthe current from the Northâ will try to destroy the accord of Islam and the missionaries.â âThe current from the Northâ is an obvious reference to the Soviet Union, and it is not by accident that these words of Said Nursi date from 1945-1946, a time when atheistic communism was extending its rule throughout Eastern Europe. In his view, modern civilization is the product of various sources and results in a value system which, despite its evident good qualities, is often in contradiction with Divine teaching. Not all the sources of modernity were human; some appear to be the result of demonic inspiration. In his commentary on the Qurâanic verse, âO People of the Book! Come to a common term between us and you,â he stated: âModern civilization, which is the product of the thought of all mankind and perhaps the jinn as well, has taken up a position opposed to the Qurâan, which individuals and communities have failed to dispute.â (6) In this situation, the Qurâanic injunction to come to a âcommon termâ with the People of the Book carries the meaning of Muslims and Christians coming to a mutual awareness that as communities founded on faith in God, they have a common mission to bear witness to Divine values in the midst of modern civilization. Far from being divided by a supposed âclash of civilizationsâ, they are called to work together to carry on a critical civilizational dialogue with the proponents of modernity. Tensions between Christians and Muslims It is a sad fact of human history that Christians and Muslims, despite their communitarian nature as peoples (umam) called to worship and obey the One and Same God, have often been in conflict and even at war with one another. They have seen one another as enemies to be resisted and overcome. Energies which should have been employed to cooperate in the establishment of God-centered societies have been dissipated in mutual suspicion, domination, and bloodshed. Writing at a time of serious tensions and massacres between the two communities at the end of the First World War, Said Nursi offered a way out of this historical impasse. In the early years of the turkish Republic subsequent to the First World War, some Kurdish tribesmen in Eastern Anatolia found the idea of freedom for Greeks and Armenians repugnant, and they asked Said Nursiâs advice. His answer not only affirmed the right to liberty of these Christian peoples as something commanded by the shariâa, but went farther to turn the question back on the tribesmen, challenging them to recognize the deeper problem as one that lay at the heart of their own ignorance and hard-heartedness. He said, âTheir freedom consists in leaving them in peace and not oppressing them, for this is what the shariâa enjoins. More than this is their aggression in the face of your bad points and craziness, their benefiting from your ignorance.â (7) He went on to state that the real
enemy is not this or that group of Christians, but rather the situation of
degradation into which all had fallen. As he said, âOur enemy, that
which is destroying us, is A_a Ignorance, his son Poverty Effendi, and
grandson, Enmity Bey. If the Armenians have opposed us in hatred, they have
done so under the leadership of these three corrupters.â (8) The message of Said Nursi is as valid for our own day as it was when he wrote these words almost 80 years ago. At the root of tensions and conflicts between Muslims and Christians today lie not so much the evil nature of the other as our own egoistic desires to dominate, control, and retaliate. In this sense, the freedom of others from these âdark forcesâ is a part of our own freedom or, as Said Nursi put it: âThe freedom of non-Muslims is a branch of our own freedom.â (9) The reward of innocent martyrs The second decade of this century was one of the most disastrous in the history of Anatolia. âBetween 1914-1923, 20% of the Anatolian people died. In some eastern provinces, one-half of the inhabitants died and an further one-half of the survivors were refugees.â (10) As the historical demographer J. McCarthy notes, âNo other country suffered in the period of World War I as did Anatolia. The âlost generationâ in England, France, and Germany was a real and terrible loss. Yet the total populations of the United Kingdom and Germany actually rose between 1911 and 1922, while that of France only declined by one percent. The Anatolian population fell by more than 30% - 10% were emigrants, 20% died.â (11) The secondary causes of war - disease, starvation, and exposure - accounted for a greater number of victims than did battles, raids, and massacres. Writing during one of the most tragic periods in the history of Anatolia, Said Nursi could not ignore the reality of the deaths of so many innocent persons. It is to his great credit that he rose above sectarian loyalty to address the question of innocent Christians as well as Muslims who fell victim to the times. âEven if those innocent people were unbelievers,â he stated, âin return for the tribulations they suffered due to that worldly disaster, they have such a reward from the treasury of Divine mercy that if the veil of the Unseen were to open, a great manifestation of mercy would be apparent in relation to them and they would declare, âO Lord, thanks be to You! All praise belongs to God.ââ (12) Said Nursi noted that he was moved to intense compassion and pity when he saw the sufferings of innocent people, and he was âtouched strongly by the afflictions, poverty and hunger visited on unfortunates as a result of mankindâs disaster and the winter cold, as well as by a harsh non-physical, spiritual cold.â He held that those innocent people who died in such circumstances âwere martyrs of a sort, whatever religion they belonged to,â and that âtheir reward would be great and save them from Hell.â âTherefore,â he concluded, âit may be said with certainty that the calamity which the oppressed among Christians suffer, those connected to Jesus (Upon whom be peace)...is a sort of martyrdom for them.â (13) Not all those who died during the war years were innocent of wrongdoing. Those who oppressed others and perpetrated evil against their neighbors, declared Said Nursi, will be punished by God. By contrast, he adds, âIf those who suffered the calamity were those who hastened to assist the oppressed, and who strove for the welfare of humanity, and struggled to preserve the principles of religion and sacred revealed truths and human rights,â their rewards will be so great from God as to completely transcend their earthly sufferings. This willingness to understand and empathize and with both the sufferings and the goodness found in persons of other religious communities is the sign of an honest man guided by Divine teaching. Too often the vision of a religious individual does not go beyond the trials and accomplishments of oneâs own community. In this context, the attitude of Said Nursi towards the Christian âmartyrsâ of his time presages the 1969 attitude of Pope Paul VI concerning the Muslim martyrs in Uganda. Referring to those Ugandan Christians who gave their lives in the last century rather than renounce their faith, the Pope called the attention of his hearers to the fact that there were also many Muslims in that country who chose death rather than betray or compromise their Islamic faith. These too, he held, are true martyrs and witnesses to faith in God. Peace, reconciliation, and friendship between Muslims and Christians Said Nursi was aware that Muslim-Christian relations were not limited to an alliance of believers in critically confronting the dangers of modernist ideology, to the resolution of conflicts, and to empathizing with innocent victims, but should move in the direction of peace, reconciliation, and even friendship. Five years before his death, in supporting the Baghdad pact, he noted that an advantage of the pact was not only that Turks would gain 400 million brothers and sisters among Muslim peoples, but that the international accord would also gain for Muslim Turks âthe friendship of 800 million Christiansâ (14) and be a step toward a much-needed peace and general reconciliation between the two communities of faith. In his final years, Said Nursi exerted his personal efforts at building reconciliation and friendship with Christians. In 1950, he sent a collection of his works to Pope Pius XII in Rome and received in reply, on 22 February 1951, a personal letter of thanks. One observer notes that it was only little over ten years later that, at the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church proclaimed its respect and esteem for Muslims and asserted that Islam was a genuine path of salvation. (15) In the same way, a few years later in 1953, Said Nursi visited the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in Istanbul to seek cooperation between Muslims and Christians in the face of aggressive atheism. Many years before in 1910-1911, Said Nursi was questioned concerning his desire to build relations of friendship with Christians. He was confronted with the restrictive interpretation that some Muslims had placed on the Qurâanic verse: âO you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectorsâ (5: 51). In the light of this verse, he was asked, why did he say that Muslims and Christians should be friends? His answer is instructive, not only for understanding Said Nursiâs desire to encourage love and friendship between Muslims and Christians, but for his approach to Qurâanic interpretation. In his view, the Qurâanic proscription is not general but absolute and, as such, can be restricted. âTime,â he states, âis a great interpreter; if it determines its limits, it cannot be gainsaid. That is, when a matter becomes clear in the course of time, one cannot object to it. Moreover, if the judgment is based on derived evidence, the source of the derivation shows the reason for the judgment.â In applying this principle to the interpretation of this verse, he holds that the prohibition from friendship with Jews and Christians is effective only when they reflect Jewishness or Christianity. But, he concludes, just as not all of the characteristics of an individual Muslim necessarily reflect the teaching of Islam, so also, not all of the qualities of individual Jews or Christians reflect unbelief. If Muslims find in a Jew or Christian qualities that are in agreement with Islamic teaching, they should consider those qualities praiseworthy. It is those good qualities that form the basis for friendship with Jews and Christians. âCan a Muslim love a Christian or Jew?â, he asks and in answer gives as example a man married to a woman of the People of the Book. âOf course, he should love her.â (16) His argument is based on the very fact that the Qurâan permits a Muslim man to marry a Jewish or Christian woman presumes that he can and should love her. Return of Jesus In no area is interpretation more difficult than those passages of sacred writings which speak of the future and the coming age. Such passages, whether one is speaking of Qurâanic verses which point to the approach of the Hour of Judgment or of apocalyptic writings in Christian Scriptures, are customarily clothed in difficult and complex symbolism and obscure allusions. Interpreting such passages demands the discipline of an interior grappling with the text by an interpreter soundly grounded in faith. Otherwise, the interpreter can be easily led astray by his own preconceptions and prejudices. We see Said Nursi employing this careful regimen in his efforts to interpret in the context of our century the hadith reports of Muhammad that relate to the return of Jesus before the Final Hour. He accepts the soundness of these hadith reports and awaits the return of Jesus. âSince [God] promised it, He will most certainly send him.â (17) At this historical time, Jesus, like Idris, is present in the heavens in his earthly body. (18) But at the end of time, Jesus will return to earth to fight and kill the Dajjal. The meaning of these hadith, he says, must be understood in terms of the concept of collective personality, that of an individual person who represents in himself a community of individuals. âThe Christian religion,â he states, âwill be purified and divest itself of superstition in the face of the current of unbelief and atheism born of naturalist philosophy and will be transformed into Islam. At that point, the collective personality of Christianity will kill the fearsome collective personality of irreligion. Representing the collective personality of Christianity, Jesus will kill the Dajjal, who embodies the collective personality of irreligion. That is, he [Jesus] will kill atheistic thought.â (19) Said Nursi foresees two great threats to religion, two currents of unbelief represented by the evil figures of Sufyan and Dajjal. The first, that of Sufyan, will seek to destroy the shariâa of Muhammad and will be defeated by the Mahdi from the family of the Prophet. The second, represented by Dajjal, will promote naturalist and materialist philosophy and lead to the total denial of God. Both will work through secret societies to subvert Godâs reign over human hearts and eliminate the element of the sacred in social life. (20) It is against this second current which the true, purified Christianity, which comprises the collective personality of Jesus, will emerge. The true Christianity will reject superstition and distortion and be in unity with Islamic teachings. In effect, wrote Said Nursi, âChristianity will be transformed into a sort of Islam.â (21) It is not necessary that everyone recognize Jesus when he returns. Said Nursi believes it more likely that only those who are true believers and close to Jesus will know him to be the true Jesus, but it will not be generally evident to all. What is more important is that the Dajjal, symbolizing atheistic currents in humanity, will be a huge and powerful opponent who will deceive many with promises of a false paradise, alluring amusements, and the varied enticements of civilization. It is impossible for the reader of Said Nursiâs descriptions of the Dajjal not to find allusions to the vast empire of the former Soviet Union as well as to the secular hegemony of European nations. However, he looks forward to the day when the true religion of Christianity will emerge and spread its light to many to fight against the secret societies of Sufyan and the Dajjal. This purified Christianity he describes as âa zealous and self-sacrificing community known as a Christian community but worthy of being called âMuslim Christians.â It will work âto unite the true religion of Jesus with the reality of Islam. In killing the Dajjal of rampant atheism, it will save humanity from godless destruction.â Thus, the kind of purification that Said Nursi expects to occur in Christianity seems to be not that of Christians abandoning their religion in order to enter Islam, but rather an inner transformation and completion of what they already have that is good. He states: âThe Qurâan does not order you to abandon your religion completely. It proposes only that you complete your faith and build it on the fundamentals of religion that you already possess. The Qurâan...is a modifier and perfecter of basic principles. As for its nature as establisher, this only concerns such details as are subject to change and alteration because of differences of time and place.â (22) Conclusion In all this, Said Nursi offers original and thought-provoking insights on Muslim-Christian dialogue and cooperation. His central thesis is that Muslims and Christians together can built a true civilization according to Godâs plan in which human dignity, justice, and fellowship will be the norm. This is possible if they seek to ground their mutual relationships on love. In his famous Damascus Sermon, he states that the Fourth Word on which civilization is to be built is love. âThe thing which is most worthy of love,â he states, âis love, and that most deserving of enmity is enmity. It is love and loving - that render peopleâs social life secure and that lead to happiness - it is these which are most worthy of love and being loved.â (23) âThe time for enmity and hostility is finished,â (24) he concludes. This call to love, even across the boundaries of oneâs religious community, still rings true today. Events which have occurred in our world since Said Nursi first delivered his Damascus Sermon in 1911 have underlined the importance of this message: two World Wars, conflicts between India and Pakistan, massacres in Rwanda and Burundi, the plight of the Palestinian people, the destruction first of Bosnia and now of Kosova, and so many other bloody conflicts around the world remind us that love is the only solution to fratricidal destruction. The world still looks to Muslims and Christians as two communities of faith founded on the Loving and Compassionate God to show the way to love as the Divine Alternative to hatred and war.

Well its about the way humans psyche works in the metaphisics compared to the much faster way they act in the physical realm.
Its about human turtles...
------------------------------------------------------------
Working together with Ege University (Turkey) professor Ertan Taskavak, Matthew Bettelheim recently published the results of their investigation into the identify of the tortoise species depicted in Ottoman artist Osman Hamdi Bey's popular 1906 painting, "The Tortoise Trainer" [Kaplumbaga Terbiyecisi], in the International Society for the History and Bibliography of Herpetology's academic journal Bibliotheca Herpetologica (Volume 6, Number 2). Often referred to mistakenly as "The Turtle Trainer," this is perhaps one of Osman Hamdi's best known works and has earned him no little fame. In December of 2004, "The Tortoise Trainer" was auctioned off to the Suna-Inan Kirac Foundation's Pera Museum in Turkey for 5 trillion Turkish lira ($3.5 million), setting a record for the highest price paid for a Turkish painting...
So you can also make alot of money with a Turtle trainer...
