Cult recruitment: In order for âcultsâ to be successful they rely on ârecruitingâ others. They target âvulnerableâ isolated, alone, neglected children or adults. For vulnerable people, #cults are very tempting because the cult provides love-Bombing #stage1
A sense of safety, promises of rewards friends & actual rewards. Who could possibly refuse? They typically use becoming more joyful, happy, obtaining bliss as a #promise Who wouldnât want that? A new family? #Acceptance? Love? Itâs a nice loving supportive environment initially

Since it is #Epiphany2022 I'm sharing e a portion of my translation from the Latin of Marsilio Ficino's (1433-99) wonderful Epiphany sermon "On the Star of the Magi" (De stella magorum). 1/22
I discuss this sermon in great detail in a forthcoming article "The Star of the Magi or The Afterlife of Chaldean Angels in Iamblichus, Proclus, Psellos, Pletho, and Ficino." 2/22
Please keep an eye out for the journal volume in which it will appear. It is a special issue of Travaux et Mémoires 25/2 of the Association CHCByz, entitled "Inventer les anges de l'Antiquité à Byzance," edited by Delphine Lauritzen. 3/22
đ§”đ„ from Hispanic Theologian Justo Gonzalez with a prophetic voice in 2021 about #Epiphany and our times: "Tomorrow is Epiphany â the âThree Kingsâ Day,â we used to call it when I was a child. The âMagic Kings" would bring us gifts on this day, for we had no Santa Claus. 1/
Nor did we have fireplaces through which they could enter. But, being magicians, they could make themselves as small as bees and crawl in under our doors!
Unfortunately, now I have lost my innocence. No longer do I believe that the Kings bring gifts. 2/

Instead, I read the story as it appears in the Gospel of Matthew and I find something both relevant and disturbing. It is a story of three supposedly wise men who are naĂŻve enough to go to Jerusalem, where Herod reigns, asking about anything a new king that has been born. 3/
Gospel: On #Epiphany we read the story of the Magi bringing three gifts to Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Each gift is highly symbolic: gold for the king, frankincense (an incense) for the deity, and myrrh (an oil or balm) for the one who will die. The Magi's gifts...
...can prompt an important question: What gifts can we bring to God?
Sometimes it takes years for people to come to know their gifts. In my work as a spiritual director, Iâve seen that one of the most common problems for people is not being able to recognize, acknowledge...

...or accept their individual talents.
This has nothing to do with vanity; rather, itâs an inability to see the wonderful things that God has given usâfor our own flourishing and the building up of the reign of God. And as St. Paul says, there are different gifts (1 Cor 12:4)...

I want to start a new thread story. Not sure how long it will be and I may use different prompts: #vss365 #vssmagic #vssnature etc etc ... I love reading about legends and folk lore, and in my fantasy writing I often create my own myths. So this will be just a fun exercise...
How has religion been used to fan the flames of insurrection on Capitol Hill? - welcome to the participants to our zoom briefing today! We'll be live-tweeting as we go along:
Bishop @Mebudde felt a range of emotions on yesterdays events such as shock outrage, deep confusion, and alarm at the ways they unfolded with some predictability #capitolhill #washington #briefing
Bishop @Mebudde highlights there was no protection for vulnerable people, the homeless and key workers in the #CapitolHill area during yesterdays events
Remembering the tremendous mark left by the Brotherhood & Sisterhood of the #Epiphany in their century+ of service to #Bengal, esp. #Behala in #Calcutta, #Kolkata, & #Barisha. Privileged 2 spend a year with them. #SrFlorence became a media star, but it was her lepers she loved.1/

...Anup preserves the tradition Fr Mathieson created via the musical trust. The #OxfordMission maintains the Behala legacy via an Administrator. The cross is a small copy of the chapel cross, showing the resurrected Christ the community lived & showed 4th joyfully 2 so many.p 3/
"Order our steps oh Lord,"prays @RevDrBarber in Zoom prayer for unity from Biden transition team. With disorder today, let us find order, he prayed.

Religious leaders of different faiths raise voices in prayer tonight.
Today is #Epiphany, the day we remember the magi from the east coming to pay homage to the Christ child.
Although the Bible is not explicit, I have long appreciated the theory that that magi are the spiritual descendants of the prophet Daniel.
There are several clues. (Cont.)

First , Daniel was a magi himself in the Babylonian court following his exile. The magi (wise men) served as counselors and dream interpreters to the king and his entourage. Joseph would have been a magi of sorts. Makes sense Daniel could have passed down prophecy in Babylon.
Second, they come from the East. This could be any number of places, but given the way geographical locations were discussed at the time, Babylon/Persia makes sense. They particularly would have resources to send such a caravan. Additionally, it rules out a place like Egypt.

To truly grasp God, we must first learn to appreciate Arts and science, because with this in mind we would understand how intelligent our God is.

Last go for the crib on #BaptismoftheLord... end of #Christmas season in the Western calendar. Back to green, #OrdinaryTime. But thatâs still pretty extraordinary in itself... many cribs retain the #shepherds & add in the #Magi. Not sure what they all eat...nearly 3 weeks! 1/
You have to say, it gets pretty crowded & noisy in there...shepherds, lambs, pipes... the ox & ass arenât #Trappists either... 2/
...and thatâs not to mention the #Angels... We conflate 2 separate events a year apart. If #Epiphany had its own octave all would make more sense. It would give #OrdinaryTime 33 weeks too; which makes sense: a week for every year... 3/
The #solareclipse in #Capricorn tonight happens to coincide with #twelfthnight, the eve of #epiphanyâand indeed it'll already be Epiphany for many in the eastern hemisphere by the time the eclipse perfects. I have some Thoughtsâą, so buckle in! #astrology
It's enough to reflect on the fact that the Epiphany story, as it's told in the Xian tradition, involves astrologers being given the gift of seeing things as they really are.
In the story, God is revealed to them, not in the halls of power and privilege but rather among the destitute and the working poor in a town that we would describe today as "flyover country."
Turning my attention to all the outrageous violence that takes place in our land, the tears of the victims with no comforter, the iron grip of oppressors, no one to rescue the people (victims) from them. #AmINext
One have to congratulate the dead who are already gone instead of the living dead who requested to be rescued even while living free. Now they're shackled as they await their fate with calamity. #AmINext
God is in charge not you. Let that sink in. The day you begin to believe you're it...you will have to keep yourself & beat your own heart. #Epiphany
Today I am going to try and cook for the first time since I was paralyzed.
I used to cook most nights for me and The Wife. After Mass on Sundays, I would make brunch.
I made every holiday meal for 17 of our 18yrs together. I did the #Christmas baking.

I started cooking as a child. I grew up in a chaotic household. Great politics but a chronically ill mother. I was the oldest sibling & the maternal stand-in.
I became a vegetarian for political reasons at 14, so I had to learn how cook that diet cheaply since we were poor.

In college I cooked for everyone. I knew how to stretch $.When I was in the domestic Peace Corps I taught people how to cook with next to no money.
I love feeding people.
I think food is an evocation of love for many folks.
I haven't been able to cook since I was paralyzed.
