  • 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.

  • CORE WORD: Special Recasting WAYS WE CAN
    CORE WORD: Special For Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents Recasting Recasting is a helpful strategy that assists individuals who use AAC gain expressive grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. When the communication partner immediately responds to utterances by modeling or ‘recasting’ a more expansive version of their message, (e.g., STUDENT: “want crackers” ADULT: “I want more crackers, please.”), this provides a dynamic interaction where there is no expectation of repetition. It is recommended that the strategy of RECASTING is utilized frequently and vocally emphasized by changes in loudness and pause time. (Parker, 2012). WAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD ASK QUESTIONS (e.g., is this special to you?) AFFIRM (e.g., This is special) NEGATE (e.g., this isn’t special) FLIRT (e.g., you are special) COMPLEMENT (e.g., you are a special person) ROUTINES AND SCHEDULES Circle: At circle time adults and students can each bring a special item to talk about with the class. Snack time: Adults and students can talk about what foods are special to them (e.g., a family recipe, a favorite snack, etc.). PLAY 1 Students can roll a ball of yarn to other students and say something special about whomever has the ball of yarn in their hands. READING Here are some suggested books on YouTube that can assist in teaching the core word: Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, courtesy of Storytime at Awnie’s House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3cmddZh6t8&t=198s&ab_channel=StoryTi meatAwnie%27sHouse This book is about a special fish and how he likes being special.

Mary thinks God sent Ellie, who shares a royal blood line that has rumored supernatural powers and wants her to marry Thad. This occurs in the eccentric, fictional town of Bayou Louisiana, where very real current Southern trends like "Haunted AirBnBs" (which her current family run from their dilapidated castle) occur. Ellie's Bucher family relives Confederate battles to deny losing the Civil War, while Ellie denies her past trauma of parental loss to survive it. But, Ellie has a mid-life crisis and all the insanity of her culture comes at a price that she can no longer pay as her own personal Armageddon comes crashing through her castle door. v FADE IN: EXT.
