While I was in Hong-Kong, I photographed many parks, temples, and also shopping malls. Here is a picture of one located at the corner of Nathan Road with Austin Street. The building has an elevator on the outside and I photographed it because I did for the first time (and so far also the only […]

According to Ted Andrews, the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit differ from the traditional set. But he also knows the latter and calls it the Seven Gifts of Light. It can also be represented by the same seven roses. He knows a third set for the meditation exercise. The third set also is represented […]

Some people, rather many people, find the Bible really difficult to understand. The Holy Scripture is full of contradictions. If the contradictions between the teachings of Paul and the teachings of Jesus are overlooked, then at least the New Testament seems to break with and contradict the Old Testament. But also the Old Testament seems […]

Sometime somewhere I had read that the ancient Greeks knew eight astrological houses, which preceded the twelve astrological houses. Only recently, I got told about a website, which explains the eight houses. The system is called ogdoad or octotopos as opposed to the dodekatopos or twelve houses. The according article not only describes an important […]

I stumbled upon a blog article from a pastor. He admits that he struggles with forgiveness. He finds forgiveness difficult because it feels unnatural to him. He additionally states that the older he gets, the more he realizes how awful people can be to one another. The last statement is a really good reason for […]

I already had a look at some of the Chinese names of the named asteroids in order to get some more insights, which the Chinese perspective could offer. I treated the asteroids until #146 so far.

There’s no reason to deny this: I know religions very well. I never, like many others, ignored the religion, with which I grew up. I studied history of religions. I even learnt some languages (although I’ve always been much better in science and in mathematics), which should enable me to read originals of holy scriptures. […]

When I introduced the seven dragons and the seven dragon slayers from the anime series Fairy Tail, I still hadn’t treated the connection between the Five Phases and the seven classic planets. Although the number of seven dragon slayers probably wasn’t chosen according to the number of the seven planets and their powers probably not […]

In the Friedenau Ward of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg Borough of Berlin, Berlin State, Germany in last month did roughly ninety youngsters with knives, baseball bats, and brass knuckles chase a single youngster until he found refuge in a supermarket. Previous to this incident had a boy, who attends the ninth form of the Friedrich-Bergius School, been […]

Ted Andrews abbreviated “discernment of spirits” to mere “discernment”. So I until recently hadn’t known that Catholic, Orthodox, and Charismatic Christian theology distinguish four kinds of spiritual agents, which influence a person’s morality (or about the existence of a Charismatic Christian theology). The four kinds of spiritual agents are: Concupiscence; Divine Grace; Angels; Devils. Concupiscence […]
