Zak, or rather Trixie, has settled into life as a Goth Gurl, with a full time job and even a bit of a social life. But as sure as the sun rising in the east each day, life doesn't stand still and a Goth Gurl can have dreams...In this tome life as Trixiebell Heartswoon moves up a gear with a trip to Germany for the Asquith siblings to take part in the WGT Goth festival in Leipzig.

Without intelligence no one and nothing lives. Without intelligence rain falls but never lands, eggs are brooded but never hatch, god is named but never worshipped. And without intelligence we look in vain for grandeur, greatness and magnanimity. But even more important than intelligence is the humour of the divine heart. Here we move in the realm of reality as persons dedicated to the preservation of common humanity on earth. Nothing else can fall more truly with the scope of our nature. No mastery of created being can strike us as more worthy or as more just.The humour of the divine heart - it leaves little to be desired. It resides in subtle understatement as readily as in gross exaggeration; it loves to make all things equal before the failure to sin.What a strange figure sin cuts if its effects are remeditated! Without sin itself, but in the presence of its imagined effects, we may do a singular work of relief; we may lift the cross of the Christ himself, like Simon of Cyrene, and earn for our labours a glorious recognition before the throne.

"Harmonising our natures to the cosmic vibration,Attuning our entities to the divinest of all nature,Channelling the powers of the highest dimension,Our destinies shift into dynamics of our creation." -The Sacred Arts, Page 17."An interstellar empire of wrath, destruction and void,All tactics and means to execute their plan they employ,And with a brutal heart of conquest and a will to destroy,Their success will render our civilizations as their toys." -Alien Nation?, Page 43.This book Solar Spirit explores the unique wonders and true beauty of our developing individuality, spiritual awareness and the profound depths of the inner self and human soul residing within us. As we each awaken and develop our natural talents and abilities upon the path we walk, to the higher ground of our personal calling; the love, empathy and affection which resonates within each of us begins to emerge and become known to ourselves in our progression up through the 'Great Chain of Being' of enlightenment.As our Human Race's destiny is to expand beyond our world into space and colonise other planets with the hope of one day living amongst the distant stars, as an interstellar civilisation the attitude we take with us will shape the fate we come to occupy tomorrow. In the prospective realisation of this, the future creeds and forming legacies, which we inspire in the future generations, build upon ours and they will ultimately transform into their own. This becomes ever more poignant and important to our thinking today as we progress into the world we create ourselves, as the builders of that edifice of destined civilisation, and layers of those first very crucial foundations, what we put down for them today, will determine their tomorrow.

This is a Systematic Theology work that has the inerrant, infallible, verbally inspired word of God as its sole authority. Baptists, by definition, have the Holy Bible as their sole authority for all faith and practice. They should have a systematic theology book that does as well. Dr. Rice's staunch belief in the preserved accuracy of the inspired Scriptures and his extensive background in systems engineering make him uniquely qualified to assemble a systematic theology. This book contains volumes 9 and 10 of "A Systematic Theology for the 21st Century" covering the Bible doctrines of Ecclessiology the Doctrine of the Church, and Angelology the Doctrine of Angels. Vol 9 Ecclesiology The Doctrine of the ChurchEcclesiology is the doctrine of the ecclesia, translated to English as the Church. Three integral parts of a Church is it is "called out", it is "assembled", and it is "a body." The origin of the word Church comes from the Greek word kuriakos, meaning "the Lord's house." The English definition was extended to some extent to make it capture the full concept of Christ's Ecclesia. It had to capture that the Ecclesia is "a called out and assembled body of believers," i.e. believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Three integral parts of this basic definition need to be emphasized. The Church is "called out", it is "assembled", and it is "a body."Vol 10 Angelology The Doctrine of AngelsAngelology. Much has been written about angles, more has been presumed and misunderstood. The Holy Bible has no dissertation or thesis on the subject, but it does provide tremendous insights to angels. Even though it is not a theme of the Bible, there is much that could be learned about angels, and that learning can greatly benefit the believer. "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty....Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire..." Psalm 104:1,4.

Central to the discourse between Sh¿¿ites and Sunnis is the question of how the companions of the Prophet should be regarded. On one side of the spectrum, there are those who advocate for unwavering reverence and regard all companions as inherently good and righteous individuals. They argue that the companions' close proximity to the Prophet and their unwavering loyalty make them deserving of utmost respect.However, an opposing viewpoint emerges, challenging the notion of universal reverence for the companions. This perspective posits that the companions, like any other group of people, encompass both virtuous and flawed individuals. It emphasizes the importance of critically assessing the actions and character of each companion, rather than embracing a blanket perception.Within this broader debate, certain individuals among the companions become focal points of contention. One such figure is Abu Bakr, who assumed authority and power following the Prophet's demise. Sunnis grant Abu Bakr an elevated status, considering him superior among all Muslims from the generation of the companions. However, Sh¿¿ites hold contrasting beliefs, citing accusations against him in their books, deeming him unworthy of respect and authority.A significant aspect of this debate revolves around the interpretation of a specific verse in the Quran, known as the verse of the cave. This verse recounts the event when the Prophet, facing persecution, sought refuge in the cave of Thawr and subsequently fled to Medina.This treatise delves into a profound analysis of the frequently referenced verse regarding the cave, which holds different interpretations within the Sunni and Sh¿¿ites perspectives. Sunnis commonly view this verse as a testament to the virtue of Abu Bakr, whereas Sh¿¿ites argue that it serves as a condemnation of the individual in question. The treatise provides a comprehensive exploration of the various arguments and evidence put forth by both sides, shedding light on the divergent interpretations and seeking to establish a deeper understanding of the verse's intended meaning.N¿rullah Sh¿shtari, the author of this treatise, holds a distinguished position as an accomplished scholar within the Sh¿¿ite circles. He brings into discussions the words of Ni¿am al-D¿n Al-N¿s¿b¿ri, a prominent Sunni scholar from the Sh¿fi¿ite school, renowned for his extensive work of tafs¿r titled ghar¿¿ib al-qur¿n wa-ragh¿¿ib al-furq¿n.

También se entiende como "Imperio," un sistema de influencia económica, política o intelectual que impacta decisivamente a otras instituciones menos vigorosas.

I've written over 65 books, created a training program in Germanic Magic, and now I decided to explore skaldic poetry by translating my book: "The Norse Gods and Their Myths," into a poetic edition. I don't claim to be a great poet. This book has been a disciplined exercise for personal growth. If Asatru is to become a "living religion," then we can't continuously harp back to works of literature that are a thousands of years old. We need modern-day skalds writing new Eddas about the Gods. I humbly submit this book of poetry as an attempt on my part to do just that. I do hope it will inspire you to write your own poetry.
