| Pagan Ways Universal Life Church By Al Franks |
| Would like to share some thoughts with you. Enlighten me if you feel any of my statements are incorrect, am always open to learning. I'll offer you this on the subject of Paganism. It is not a religion, as much as it is a belief system. Modern religions follow written doctrine, not so with Pagans. There is a fundamental belief system based on observation and learning that guide a Pagans path. Changing of seasons, movement of celestial bodies, known sciences and unknown science (referred to as magick) are the study of a true Pagan. There are gods, not always represented by a deity. Just understood that you cannot understand energies of a thing, and the word god is closest fit. Most Pagans I've encountered feel as I do that evil lies in the heart of man. So if Satan exists, it exists in the individual, not as a separate entity. Politicians for centuries have used this ideal, and religions heaven and hell as a tool to control the masses. With few exceptions, all religions have a form of specific publication, used to establish doctrine, and a human, identified as founder for the particular idealisms. Hindu being one of the oldest, and most notable to be an exception to this. Of interesting note, all religions that have written doctrine also have a male as figurehead. This leads to Wicca. Television has portrayed the Witch as female. My assumption is due to events like Salem midwives being burned as practicing devil's work. Walt Disney did his part in portraying the Witch as female, and not in a very positive light. In reality, there are as many male Witches in this world, as there are female. Keep in mind, being Pagan does not mean you are tagged with the title Witch, although Pagans do follow same practices and beliefs, whether using that tag or not . Shaman, Healers, those that believe today's magick is tomorrows science, and Witches, are all equally Pagan. Let me get to the point on Wicca. Wicca has afforded opportunity for a religion to form that is female based, to my knowledge, the only one that is. It has become a girls club. I have objection to Wicca in that they are attempting to form doctrine. Once doctrine is establish and “enforced, then Wicca is no longer Pagan. I take offense to many thinking being Pagan means you follow Wicca. Not so, Wicca is just another small offshoot of the bigger picture. I could go on to argue the fact that all religions of the world started from Pagan roots. From the first time primitive man saw lightening in the sky. Decided there must be a higher power he did not understand, religion, of sorts, has existed. In order to survive, mankind had to study changing of seasons, learn when to plant, when to harvest. Watch celestial bodies to develop a calendar for such things. Celebrations came to be. Good example is observation that every year, days became shorter. Humans prayed the sun would not go away completely. When the days started to get longer it was a joyous time. The sun was reborn and life could continue for another year. Call it winter solstice, Christmas, or whatever your desire. The reason we celebrate to this day is because ancient humans had a fundamental belief system based on observation and learning. That carries on to this day. Pagan? One in tune with the way of things, explained, and unexplained, forces and energies that are around us all. Knowing your way along the path of life from intuition, seeing and visions. Feeling harmony, and disharmony of life around you. Communication with sprits, bending the future, casting spells. Using things such as candle magick, Runes, Tarot and some of the lesser known tools (whatever helps you project and focus). These are all Pagan. I would suggest someone wanting to follow the way of a Pagan should pick up every and all writings they can find. Study all religions, learn basics of the science of things. Find the common thread and their own truth within it. You are your own priest or priestess. I'd be happy to discuss products, if after reading the above you are still encouraged. Rev.

| Christian Financial Blessing By Rev. Rick Sisco Universal Life Church |
MAY THE POWER OF GOD'S GRACE GO BEFORE YOU IN THE CHRIST LIGHT AS YOU SPEAK THESE WORDS OUT LOUD. THIS IS A POWERFUL PRAYER. SAY OUT LOUD. I KNOW WE ALL DESIRE A BLESSING AND GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT THE POWER OF PRAYER IN OUR HEARTS AND SOUL. Heavenly Power, most Gracious and Loving God, I know that you are Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent. I also know that as extensions of you, we are all inseparably one. Knowing this, I understand that your power and prosperity is ours as well. I know that your infinite abundance is available to each and every one of us. I know that my family and I are blessed, as are each and every person. We know and recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in the Higher Power within each one of us. Higher Power, with the consciousness of Christ, I send out a prayer of financial blessings for not only one person, but for all that may be needy. I know that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in Our Infinite Omnipotence is more powerful than anything. God within, deliver us all from debt and debt burdens. Release powerful wisdom that we may all be good stewards over all that we have co-created, for we know how wonderful and mighty we are and how if we just trust in Our Power, and walk in the Word and have the faith of a mustard seed that we can co-create blessings. With gratitude and joy for the recent blessings we have received and for the blessings yet to come, I release this word into the Law where I know it is done according to the Law. And so it is. Amen. ******************** Ordination with the Universal Life Church, is free, and lasts for life, so use the Free Online Ordination, button. As a long time member of ULC, Rev.

| If you believe than it will unfold for with the power of true combined or unified 'consensus' an exponentiating effect manifests wonders - if you have doubts then delete this and enjoy your journey... Financial Blessings I'm claiming this for you. Please claim it for me. Your God has more than a thousand ways to provide for you, that you are not consciously aware of. Here is your financial blessing! It's a simple prayer; do you have 30 seconds? Don't sleep on this...Someone recently read this for the first time, believed in its potential and received exactly enough for a $0 balance on all credit cards within the week they sent it on. If you need a financial blessing, continue reading this email. Holy Spirit, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just our mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who are in our life. Holy Spirit, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for my self and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined Divine creation by those who know and trust is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for these blessings. Beloved God, manifest for the person reading this this moment, a life without debt and debt burdens, and unfold fabulous wealth into their lives straight away. Release your Divine wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that you have given me Holy Spirit, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how if we just know you are within, walking in our every word, and have the understanding of the mustard seed, that you pour out endless blessings. I thank you now Lord God of My Being for the recent blessings I have already received and for those yet to come, because I know these too, already are. In this I say - So be it! ******************************* The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more.
