  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

    The Story of Rebecca The Story of Rebecca A Wife for Isaac: Genesis 24 24:1 Abraham was old, well advanced in years, and God had blessed Abraham with everything. 24:2 He said to the senior servant of his household, who was in charge of all that he owned, 'Place your hand under my thigh. 24:3 I will bind you by an oath to God, Lord of heaven and earth that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I live. 24:4 Instead, you must go to my native land, to my birthplace, and obtain a wife for my son Isaac.' 24:5 'But what if the girl does not want to come back with me to this land?' asked the servant. 'Shall I bring your son back to the land that you left?' 24:6 'Be most careful in this respect,' replied Abraham. 'Do not bring my son back there! 24:7 God, the Lord of heaven, took me away from my father's house and the land of my birth. He spoke to me and made an oath. 'To your offspring I will give this land.' He will send His angel before you, and you will indeed find a wife there for my son. 24:8 If the girl does not want to come back with you, then you shall be absolved of my oath.

    Parshat Chayei Sarah SUMMARY • Abraham purchases the cave of Machpelah in order to bury his wife Sarah. (23:1-20) • Abraham sends his servant to find a bride for Isaac. (24:1-9) • Rebekah shows her kindness by offering to draw water for the servant's camels at the well. (24:15-20) • The servant meets Rebekah's family and then takes Rebekah to Isaac, who marries her. (24:23-67) • Abraham takes another wife, named Keturah. At the age of one hundred and seventy-five years, Abraham dies, and Isaac and Ishmael bury him in the cave of Machpelah. (25:1- 11) 1 Gen 24:10-20 (10) Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and set out, taking with him all the bounty of his master; and he made his way to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor. (11) He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city, at evening time, the time when women come out to draw water. (12) And he said, “O LORD, God of my master Abraham, grant me good fortune this day, and deal graciously with my master Abraham: (13) Here I stand by the spring as the daughters of the townsmen come out to draw water; (14) let the maiden to whom I say, ‘Please, lower your jar that I may drink,’ and who replies, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels’—let her be the one whom You have decreed for Your servant Isaac. Thereby shall I know that You have dealt graciously with my master.” (15) He had scarcely finished speaking, when Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

    Southwest Popular/American Culture Association 40th Annual Conference February 20-23, 2019 — Albuquerque, New Mexico Welcome & 2019 Southwest Popular/American General Info Culture Association Conference ¡Bienvenidos a Albuquerque! We are so pleased to have you with us this week! In 1979, Michael Schoenecke and Peter Rollins began an adventure, founding the Southwest/Texas Popular/American Culture Association and establishing the annual meeting, an event which has continued for forty years and brings us all together this week in Albuquerque. In these decades, thousands of scholars have joined their colleagues in the study and celebration of popular culture, some as first-time conference-goers, others as established scholars in their respective fields. All have contributed to the strength of this conference and organization, and we are honored to have you with us as we celebrate this milestone. This week, we will be reflecting on the foundations upon which the organization, and popular culture studies more broadly, were founded, and we will be looking ahead to the future of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association, which we trust will be equally long and successful. Please join us Thursday evening at 6:00pm (Grand Pavilion VI) at the annual Peter C. Rollins Book Award and Student Awards Ceremony, where long-time members of the association will share their thoughts on the state of popular culture studies and where we will recognize the next generation of scholars and their work. We are additionally pleased to welcome Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and the recently-released Deep Creek, among other works, as our conference Keynote speaker, Friday at 7:00pm, following our annual Fire and Ice Reception/40th Anniversary Celebration in Grand Pavilion IV-VI.
