Download or read book Reflections of the Curse written by Ayn Dillard and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natalie's saga continues through male archetypes, prophetic dreams, past life memories and legal situations on her journey to genuine love. “Everyone we meet is our mirror - an aspect of our inner-self, either in the sameness or the opposite.” In the Garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit from one particular tree - the tree of knowledge. The Serpent/Satan slithered in approach to the woman Eve telling/enticing her that it was okay to eat of the fruit of the tree. That nothing harmful would occur, to not believe God, but to believe him. Eve believed the Serpent/Satan and took a bite of the forbidden fruit. It tasted good and nothing negative appeared to occur. Eve went to Adam and told him as such. Adam took a bite of the fruit. Adam and Eve realized they were naked and became ashamed. God noticing their shame inquired of Adam, “Why did you eat of the fruit from the forbidden tree?” Adam replied, “The woman, Eve told me to eat of it. God asked Eve, “Why did you partake of the fruit from the forbidden tree? Eve replied, “The serpent told me that it was okay to eat of it, so I did.” In the fall of Adam, he became a blame-deflecting narcissist. Shame was introduced into paradise. Out of his shame, Adam took no accountability or responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit. Instead, he put the blame on Eve, then Eve passed the buck to the Serpent/Satan. The ‘devil made me do it’ excuse. The Serpent/Satan knew that he’d won this first round. Adam held Eve out in front of him as a shield or excuse. This story line has continued on varying levels ever since. Satan was the original malignant narcissist caring only about manipulation, control, deception, lies, gas-lighting and destruction as, he tries to take the power of God for himself. Satan/Narcissists are full of shame. The shame of envy, lies and sin. Satan’s goal out of his envy, is to try and usurp God by perverting and destroying God’s most precious and prized creation that of the human being and what better way to do this, but in the romantic male/female relationship. Genesis 1:27 KJV “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” The Serpent/Satan began first thing to tarnish love, peace, purity, bliss and joy in the male/female God-created connection. In each and every male/female connection there will be three. Man, woman and Satan, or male, female and God. And of course, it extrapolates out from there into the world into each and every relationship on earth. There will always aspects of good and evil. It only depends on the spectrum and degree of good, or evil in each person, in any given time, as it magnifies into each relationship. Along with the awareness of self, either to step into self-reflection and healing, or to fall further and deeper into separation from self into sin and shame. God’s creation of Adam and Eve necessitated a maturation process, as well as a process for salvation. Why do we attract to those that we do and why do they attract to us? This is one of life's greatest mysteries. Patterns of romance selection are guided by complex internal interweavings. Perhaps, the attraction is to those who carry the energy needed to become more aware of imprints & negative beliefs, in order to heal and further expand our soul. “The highest of the male energy protects, provides and heals. The lowest of the male energy predator-like, destroys and steals.” Ayn Dillard By understanding her ways, he comes to know the mystery of his heart. By sharing love with her, he discovers how to love the world. In the merging of the two, she awakens his masculinity to receive the beauty of the feminine. He becomes her strength. She becomes his weakness -- this is truest and most profound exchange of power.

Download or read book Adam s Curse written by Denis Donoghue and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2001-04-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its title from a poem of William Butler Yeats, this collection of essays focuses on "Adam’s Curse"—the burdens and harsh conditions that, as Denis Donoghue underscores throughout, make any human achievement difficult. As he says, those "conditions include at various levels of reference the Fall of Man, categorical failure, loss, the limitations inscribed so insistently in human life that they seem to be in the nature of things, like death and weather." But hope is never ruled out, as Donoghue reminds us of "the possibility of putting up with the conditions and turning them to some account." It is the "putting up with the conditions and turning them to some account"—a post-lapsarian struggle fraught with religious questions—that most interests Donoghue. These essays, which are explorations of both faith and literary works that engage faith, address a dazzling range of texts and writers: Yeats, Milton, Larkin, Heaney, Emmanuel Levinas, Alasdair MacIntyre, John Crowe Ransom, Henry Adams, William Lynch’s Christ and Apollo, and Robert Bellah’s Beyond Belief, among others. Common to all is an alertness to the social bearing of literature and the role it plays in relation to politics, religion, and especially ethics. What emerges, for Donoghue, is the need to restore the primacy of theology and church doctrine without evading the "dark parts" of the Old and New Testaments. Through his probing, reflective encounters with philosophical and religious issues, we witness a magisterial intelligence at work.

Download or read book No Reflection written by Christopher Johnson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is capable of creating such perfection and splendor and must have a great plan and a purpose for us. Well, he does; he wants to reveal that purpose to us and to show us the way out of the pain, the sorrow we have brought on ourselves (self-inflected wounds) from rejecting his ways. Perception is what determines how we believe; if our perception is wrong, we believe in error because perception is not always reality. Love is the cause that effectively affects people, but sometimes, we go in circles because we cant see the path. And sometimes, its just because we believe we are smarter than the average bear, and we tell ourselves it is what it is, but this stems from self-inflected wounds that are often initiated by dictated living, things you didnt see because you were too busy looking. In some cases, vanity might be the reason greed did not reveal the deception that was at work because we might have been in a state of Hurry up and wait. Selfishness is the syndrome that misleads or deceives most often. If we learn to trust in Gods plan, we learn to live a life of integrity and develop a giving spirit; we learn to forgive as we learn to be servants. In the end, we learn that love is lifes only true satisfaction.

Download or read book The Blessing and the Curse written by Jeff S. Anderson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "magical power of the spoken word" is a topic that often comes up in a discussion of biblical blessings and curses. What is the source of social and linguistic power behind these blessings and curses? Many theologians would agree that God can and does bless, but does God also curse? If so, what does that mean to the biblical theology of the Old Testament and the Christian church? Anderson's The Blessing and the Curse applies speech act theory as one way to understand the performative function of blessings and curses. The concept of speech acts provides a method of recognizing the potent social power of language to accomplish certain ends, without drawing a hard line of distinction between word-magic and religion. Even though the chief concepts and practices of blessings and curses are deeply rooted in the broad cultural environment of the ancient Near East, tracing specific trajectories of Old Testament blessings and curses as theological themes conveys broad, inescapable implications for the biblical narrative and the Christian church.
