Download or read book Monsters and Angels written by Kevin Hunter and published by Warrior of Light Press. This book was released on 2018-07-22 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every person on the planet is capable of being empathic and sensitive, to becoming an energy vampire or toxic monster. No one is exempt from displaying the darker sides of their ego. The easiest and most efficient way to spread any kind of energy is online. Every time you log onto the Internet, there is a larger chance that you're going to see something related to the news, media, or gossip areas thrown in front of you, even if you attempt to avoid it as much as possible. You're absorbing everything that your consciousness faces, including the ugly and the wicked, which has its own consequences. This tempestuous energy is tossed into the Universe ultimately creating a flame-throwing battleground inside and around you. Monsters and Angels discusses how technology, media, and social media have an immense power in distributing both positive and negative influences far and wide. This is about being mindful of what can negatively affect your state of being, and how to counter and avoid that when and wherever possible. This is why it's beneficial to govern yourself, your life, and your surroundings like a strict disciplined executive. Some of the topics discussed include: Energy vampires, toxic monsters, sensitive angels, and empaths, the technological craze, being sensitive in a technical driven world, connecting through technical means, the insanity of the ego, steering clear of drama, finding balance in the media, technological detox tips, rising above the mundane and into the Divine, climbing beyond superficiality, and centering your inner light. It is inevitable that you will come across difficult personalities that don't align comfortably with yours. Everyone is different from one another even if there are mutual interests and disinterests. The entire planet of people have been thrown together on the same rock and forced to find a way to get along, peacefully, which seems like an unreasonable request seeing as how challenging it is for that to happen. How you navigate demanding circumstances with finesse can determine how difficult or smooth your Earthly life road trip can become. Part of that entails practicing emotional detachment and working on letting what you can go, so you're not carrying around any toxic feelings conjured up as a result of crossing paths with someone that rubs you the wrong way. An energy vampire is someone that governs their life primarily in a negative based state to the point and extent that it affects their well-being and those around them. The types of people that notice this undesirable behavior in others tend to be highly sensitive beings or Empaths. Empaths have extraordinarily empathic sensitive traits in being able to intuit what someone else is going through with minimal effort. Empaths sense every nuance around them to the point that it can drain their energy. Energy vampires symbolically or metaphorically behave like a real vampire and head straight to the empath to figuratively drink their blood. The blood is representative of someone's energy state. The energy vampire grows stronger when in the presence of an empath. The higher advantage for an empath is they are extremely sensitive, which gives them a larger degree of psychic intuition. If they move into the role of displaying energy vampire traits, they are able to intuit when they overstep their boundaries with someone, and can quickly modify their behavior back into the awesome light empath they are most of the time, whereas an authentic energy vampire is perpetually in that negative state around the clock. It is up to the empath to be firm and ferocious about their territory to ensure it is protected from the energy vampire.

Download or read book Our Old Monsters written by Brenda S. Gardenour Walter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The witch, the vampire and the werewolf endure in modern horror. These "old monsters" have their origins in Aristotle as studied in the universities of medieval Europe, where Christian scholars reconciled works of natural philosophy and medicine with theological precepts. They codified divine perfection as warm, light, male and associated with the ethereal world beyond the moon, while evil imperfection was cold, dark, female and bound to the corrupt world below the moon. All who did not conform to divine goodness--including un-holy women and Jews--were considered evil and ascribed a melancholic, blood hungry and demonic physiology. This construct was the basis for anti-woman and anti-Jewish discourse that has persisted through modern Western culture. Nowhere is this more evident than in horror films, where the witch, the vampire and the werewolf represent our fear of the inverted other.

Download or read book Fallen Angels Giants Monsters and the World Before the Flood written by Rick Renner and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Have Questions About the World Before the Flood? Does the Bible Really Explain the 'Unexplainable'? Are we really living "in the days of Noah" as some prophets have said? How are the events of Noah's Ark and the Flood relevant to the last days? Are rebellious, fallen angels masquerading as aliens and UFOs today? In this book, Rick Renner — historian and Bible teacher with extensive knowledge of New Testament Greek — clears up some rampant erroneous theories while uncovering brand-new revelations from the Bible. He uses archaeological findings, the writings of Church fathers, trusted historical documents,and Scripture to answer these and other questions, such as: When was the first recorded rapture? What does it tell us about the rapture of the Church? Are the "sons of God" in Genesis and the fallen angels the same thing? Who were the watchers God assigned to guard mankind after the Fall? Was Methuselah’s life a prophetic demonstration of God’s longsuffering that preceded judgment? What did God’s promise of “120 years” really mean? Where is Noah’s Ark today? And why did God save only Noah and his family? Are there any consequences of unholy living today? Using photos from his own expeditions in the lower Ararat mountains — along with other empirical evidence of the Ark’s location — Rick captivates readers in this book and brings the Bible to life concerning this favorite childhood story. Containing hundreds of photos, illustrations, and endnotes, Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood is “a museum in a book” and a must-have edition to refreshand refire your walk with God!
