  • THE ASCENDED MASTERS the Ascended Masters Are Perfect
    THE ASCENDED MASTERS The Ascended Masters are perfect, fulfilled Beings, that work for our mental evolution and awakening. Being approached by Them is the purest and strongest bliss a person can get. In the small Ashram of Hilarion, in Kifissia (Athens, Greece), special healing techniques and activities that lead to our Awakening, are given through the 7 Ray Energymental Healing Seminars, in the form of Teachings grounded by the Ascended Masters. I will mention some impressions and facts from the 7 Ray Seminars. Master El Morya, although he may be regarded to be unreachable by some people, he has actually helped in the creation of this seminar. He has also helped the attendants evolve as far as it concerns protection and skills. He is the fastest and the most direct Ascended Master and makes you feel that you are continuously running to catch up with and conceive his Teaching. Only when you get rid of what slows down your evolution, he will let you relax! Master Lanto, unknown to many people, has really reversed many social standards through his Teaching and has caused inner conflict to many students who are not willing to receive his Teaching either because they are not ready, or because they are deeply constrained by certain social standards. These however, consist the most substantial Teaching generated by the 2nd Ray. Master Paul the Venetian always active and fast while transfering data, takes your voice if you need to stop talking for a while and he puts you in the trouble of changing the way you approach the basic sectors of your life.

  • The Knucklehead Gospels
    The Knucklehead Gospels A Simple Faith 2021 By Arnulfo D. Ayala 1 The Knucklehead Gospels A Simple Faith 2021 Foreword I was ordained a permanent deacon in the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Angelo, Texas in 2004, but I was introduced to prison ministry in the fall of 2000, working as a volunteer at a Kairos retreat at the Lynaugh Unit in Ft Stockton, Texas. From my first visit to the prison, I knew this is where God called me to serve. Many people have no knowledge of or experience with the prison system, so they have a great misconception of the individuals who reside behind those walls. Some may think that people in prison have no value and don’t deserve a second chance. I can firmly attest that in ministering to our incarcerated brothers and sisters, I have witnessed the power of God working through many of these gifted humans. It has been transformational for me and has helped me to deepen my relationship with Christ. I am blessed to be able to call them my brothers and sisters. I first met, Arnulfo, the author of this book in 2016 while serving in prison ministry for the Archdiocese of San Antonio. He, along with a core group of devoted Catholic men, are in the maximum-security prison. They have each had a profound experience at a Kolbe Catholic retreat and decided to dedicate their lives to Christ: praying, studying, and working tirelessly to be better men and to inspire their fellow inmates to do the same. I soon realized that Arnulfo, a self-confessed Knucklehead, had the talent, the faith, the experience, and the humility to help other incarcerated men find a way to walk in God’s light in this dark place.

  • State College Singing Sensation 2017 Contestant Biographies
    State College Singing Sensation 2017 Contestant Biographies Adam Michael My name is Adam Michael. 23 years old from Altoona PA. Currently opening up further into my music career. I’ve written 3 songs and have 1 song "Movin’ On" that will be on iTunes very soon. Country music is my passion. But I enjoy other genres as well. Allen Rearick Hi everyone, my name is Allen Rearick, I’m 28, I like to do karaoke for fun and also like to workout and hangout with friends. I’m an assistant manager at Walmart and usually when I’m not working or hanging out with friends I go shopping or just drive around to see new places. Amber Hook Amber Hook, 29 years old, is a resident of Milesburg, PA. Presently, she is a hair stylist at SmartSyle Salon in the North Atherton WalMart. Amber has been singing since the young age of 2 years old. Growing up, Amber listened to Country music, and to this day she is still a fan. Country is her karaoke “go to”. She also enjoys a wide variety of other musical genres, including rock and pop. Amber's musical inspiration doesn't come from any one artist, but it comes from within her. “My musical inspiration comes from how I feel, and if I can relate to a song and put myself in it”. Amber enjoys singing because, in her words, “Most of the time I can't tell you how I feel, but I can sing you a song. Most of the time, it hits the nail on the head!” As to what she hopes to gain from being a part of the competition, Amber hopes to grow more as an artist, how to breathe better, and how to open up more.

The project traces the progression of three diseases – consumption, chlorosis, and hysteria – throughout the long nineteenth century, paying particular attention to the stereotypes and prevailing medical notions of each illness. In general, this work examines the influence of lovesickness, female-patient/male-doctor dynamics, and pathology on the endemic or epidemic nature of each disease. In particular, the first three chapters of this project study tuberculosis – or consumption as it was called in the nineteenth century – and the ways in which society presumed this illness manifested either through the female’s beauty or spirituality.
