                <media:description>Many of us believe that we only have one spirit guide however I believe this to be a misconception It is also my belief that we do have one Spirit Guide that remains with us the rest of our life but we have many others as we open our consciousness and ask for guidanceSpirit Guides are entities - physical and non-physical - many of whom have chosen to aidassist others through the same lessons they have been through In other words on the path to spiritual enlightenment Many Spirit Guides have had incarnations on the physical plane as well as other realms Theosophists call them divas or Himalayan Masters the Indian yogi refer to their master the Christian Church speak of angels while Spiritualist refer to guides helpers and the gatekeeper Other school of thoughts talk about higher consciousness In truth it does not matter which name we have chosen for them for They like yourself exist multi dimensionallyThough many of us do not know our Spirit Guides while on this earthly plane but as soon as we enter the astral levels we will become aware of such a presence We will immediately witness the comfortable presence of a divine friend&apos;s presence Some of us are fortunate and have knowledge while others are awakening which is of utmost importanceCan we see our Spirit Guides Usually our Spirit Guides simply are They are usually unseen by the naked eye but given excruciating circumstances like Near Death Experiences and great calamity we tend to interconnect more fluidly and visibly with our Spirit Guides Spirit Guides are omnipresentThe purpose of guidesThe Guide acts a link between the intuitive and the world of spirit A Guide assists the intuitive to form a better contact with those who wish to communicate and aids the less experienced communicators to get their message across and also teach the intuitive how to attune to the spirit world A Guide is both a friend and advisorA guide does not control or run the life of the intuitive he  she retains their free will A guide cannot force a intuitive to do what they don&apos;t want to and in no way dominates him  her Nor can working with a guide free you from responsibility or making the wrong decisions in your life But they will help where they can to lead the intuitive in the right direction although ultimately the decision still lies with the intuitive themselvesWhat is important for us to realize is that each Guide generally comes in for a specific purpose in our life Some guides stay with you for your entire experience in your present body Others stay for many years then leave You can ask a Spirit Guide to leave if you so chose You can attract to your energies fields other guidesA good example of a Spirit Guides&apos; works would be a sudden intuition or thought suddenly entering one&apos;s consciousness Spirit guides also help us with our creative sides such as the arts (music art acting literature etc) Spirit Guides help to heal emotional issues and restore harmony into the lives of many as well as reuniting the deceased to find closureSpirit Guides &apos;speak&apos; to you in many ways Sometimes they are the little voice you hear in your head They are quite often your polar opposite - the other part of your soul which remains on the other side in higher frequency as your soul experiences in third dimension We call this the duality of your soul experience Soul Mates - Twin FlamesOthers exist in higher frequency - they are Beings of Light that may physically appear to you in humanoid form so you mind can conceptualize them betterSpirit Guides sometimes show up as ectoplasmic forms - in photos or for you to see with your own eyes In addition Spirit Guides may be viewed as extraterrestrial entities who link you with another aspect of your soul experiencing in another realitySpirit Guides can be introduced through channelling mediumship and meditation They give us insight through dreams or meditation Connection is usually telepathic unless your Spirit Guide uses some form of telekinesis to move objects or manifest objects to reinforce their connection with you</media:description>

103B.gif&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TITLE: Babylonian World MapnDATE: 600-500 BCnAUTHOR: unknownnDESCRIPTION: This later Babylonian clay tablet dating from the Persian Period (early 5th century BC) shows an asysocentic view of a flat round world with Babylonia in the center Its identity as a map attempting to depict the entire world is proved by the adjacent text which mentions seven outer regions beyond the encircling ocean This is a slightly different concept from that of the early Greeks for whom the encircling ocean was outside of all known landsnnAt this time Babylon was still a flourishing city regarded as the center - the hub - of the universe Yet only with the rise to supremacy of the Babylonian kings with Hammurabi toward 2000 BC had its claim to this position become possible Previously the position was occupied by one of the former capitals of the earlier kingdoms Probably the Sumerians made the city of Nippur- honored by them as a central shrine a Sumerian Rome - the center of the universe from about 2300 BC for at that time supremacy was regarded as conditional upon the possession of NippurnnIn addition to the entire kingdom of Babylonia which is schematically portrayed seven unnamed circles are depicted and an accompanying cuneiform text is found on both sides of the tablet The text contains names of countries and cities but on the reverse side is chiefly concerned with a description of the Seven Islands or regions which are depicted in the form of equal triangles (only one of which is entirely intact on the tablet) rising beyond the circle of the Earthly Ocean Some scholars believe that there may have been eight islands originally The tablet further states that these islands are at equal distances of seven miles (from either each other or from the Babylonian world) around the outer periphery of the Earthly Ocean Various legendary beasts are named which were reputed to live in regions beyond the ocean that encircled the Babylonian world A few ancient heroes reached those places and the badly damaged text appears to describe conditions in them The map is really a diagram to show the relation of these places to the world of the BabyloniansnnThe Babylonians knew little about the nature of these seven islands We hear chiefly only of their various degrees of brightness From the text on the tablet and the inscriptions on the chart itself we learn that the first island lay in the southeast the second in the southwest and so on in a clockwise sequencennThe descriptions of the first and second islands are not preserved The third island is where the winged bird ends not his flight ie cannot reach On the forth island the light is brighter than that of sunset or stars: it lay in the northwest and after sunset in summer was practically in semi-obscurity The fifth island due north lay in complete darkness - a land where one sees nothing and the sun is not visible The Sumerians and Babylonians probably had some knowledge possibly acquired from other people of the northern high latitudes and of the polar nights Highly remarkable is the sixth island where a horned bull dwells and attacks the newcomer An exactly similar presentation true to tradition occurs in the same position in an astrolabe of the 17th century AD and has been used in the reconstruction of the tablet The seventh island lay in the east and is thus described: where the morning dawns meaning that it faces the sunrise Again the islands are all seven miles distant from the earth but the distance between them varies being sometimes six sometimes nine miles The description of two of these islands however has not survivednnAccording to Babylonian ideas the islands said to lie between the Earthly and the Heavenly Oceans connected the heavens and the earth These islands form bridges to the Heavenly Ocean wherein are the various animal constellations 18 of which are mentioned by namennThus round the heavens flowed the Heavenly Ocean corresponding to the Earthly Ocean on the earth And in the Heavenly Ocean were animal constellations the vanished gods These probably recur in the expression belt of heaven the Sumerian for which may be literally translated divine animals As the animal constellations also sank below the horizon so the Heavenly Ocean extended beneath the earth so that plenty of room existed below the Underworld for the passage of the sun moon and planets After the overthrow of the old world order of Apsu and Tiamat or Chaos the former gods according to the Babylonian Epic of Creation were deposed and banned as animals to the Heavenly Ocean by command of the creator of the new worldnnIn the beginning everything was ocean - the Apsu - Chaos whence arose a number of divinities including Tiamat (the sea) and the gods Anu Enlil and Enki (Ea) the later representatives of the tripartite world Now Apsu desired to destroy his offspring but was killed by Enki who looked upon the Apsu as his home Then Tiamat who went forth to revenge Apsu was vanquished in conflict with Sumer Babylon and Assur respectively Now before the struggle Tiamat had created in place of Apsu huge monsters in animal form The late Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash (2600 BC) records in his inscriptions seven such monsters in Hammurabi&apos;s time (about 2000 BC) the number was eleven The text of the Babylonian cosmos however enumerates eighteen animals but the names of two of them are not known Each of the last two texts named begin with the same three animals: Basmu Mushus and (Laha) mu It appears from these tests that in the course of time new kinds of animals were addednnAll of these animal constellations though not to be confused with our zodiac knowledge which in this form has not been traced beyond about 420 BC may nevertheless be approximately equated with our zodiacal signs among other things and changes however the names have naturally altered in the course of time The chief animals are also shown on some post-Babylonian tablets of an astronomical nature Karl Maasz has therefore made use of these drawings in his reconstruction in which pictures of the so called boundary stones have served as guides According to the drawings of the clay tablet in question the order of the animal constellations run from right to left - from north to west then around to the east The text contains the following full list of animals in the Heavenly Ocean : (1) the adder (Basmu) (2) the red serpent (Mushus)- a typical name for the dragon of Babybn which the god Marduk borrowed from the god Enlil of Nippur this dragon appears as a decoration on the Ishtar Gate of Babylon He is of special interest because the four animal elements which compose him are borrowed from the neighboring animal constellations: the front legs from the lion standing before him the back legs from the raven or eagle standing behind him the scorpion&apos;s sting on his tail from the scorpion next to him here The dragon himself represents in principle a serpent - the hydra (3) the Lahamu a serpent with the front feet of a lion also reminiscent in this respect here of its neighbor the lion (the hydra) (4) the gazelle (5) the bull (in the late Sumerian period a wild bull) (6) the panther (7) the ram (8) unknown (9) the lion (the constellation Leo) (10) the jackal (the constellation Cassiopeia) (11) the stag (the constellation Andromeda) (12) the fowl ( the falcon) (13) unknown (14) the monkey (15) the he-goat also known as the goat-fish (16) the ostrich (probably the crane) (17) the cat (18) an insect possibly the grasshopper The numbers 1-18 correspond to the numbers on the illustration except that numbers 8 and 13 are not preserved in the text of the clay tabletnnThese divine animal constellations which dwell in the Heavenly Ocean are there named the departed gods (in another cuneiform document they are referred to as the gods of the night and the goddesses of the night) because they were derived from the earlier vanished gods of the Sumerians which as the result of a reform in prehistoric times were deposed and replaced by human gods The Epic of Creation is the acknowledgment of this reformnnAll of this - the Seven Islands the animal constellations and the Heavenly Ocean - encircle the primary focus of the tablet the world map The earth proper again is displayed as a circular disc Enclosed by the circle of the Earthly Ocean lies an oblong marked Babylon with two parallel lines running to it from mountains at the edge of the enclosure and running on to a marsh which is identified by two parallel lines near the bottom of the circle The marsh can be identified as the swamp of lower present-day Iraq its identity secured by the name Bit Yakin at its left end the so called Sea Country and known to be a tribal territory covering marshland A trumpet-shaped arm of the ocean curves around the right end of the marsh so that its neck touches the lines from Babylon Despite the absence of a name it is clear that the parallel lines running to and from Babylon represent the river Euphrates To the right of Babylon an oval marks Assyria and above it is apparently Urartu eastern Turkey and Armenia Several other cities are marked by small circles one near the trumpet-shaped sea named Fort of the god is probably Der Badrah at the foot of the Zagros Mountains The name Khabban to the upper left appears to denote an area of Elam southeast of the Zagros geographically out of place (it might also be another town of the same name otherwise unknown) At the top in the north are the mountains whence the Euphrates descends in a southeasterly direction In the center lies Babylon - the hub of the universe Encircling the earth is the Earthly Ocean entitled the Bitter River creating a gulf (the Persian Gulf of today) it flows across the earth as far as the Euphrates To the southwest is shown the land of Habban For the rest the map gives various nameless places indicated only by blank ovals It is oriented towards the northwest From other Babylonian sources it can be learned that for the Babylonians the Bitter River or Earthly Ocean was enclosed by a double range of mountains those to the east and west - the sunrise and sunset range respectively being specially mentionednObviously this is not so much a topographical map as it is an attempt to illustrate ideas expressed in the accompanying text greatest attention being paid to the remote regions The Babylonians evidently viewed the earth as flat in common with other ancient peoples Their references to the four comers relate to the directions of the winds and should not be taken as implying that they thought it was squarennIn summary the Babylonian cosmos comprises a world map executed in cartographic manner a contour sketch of the Seven Islands complete with descriptive text and finally a descriptive text (only) of the Heavenly Ocean and its animal constellations&lt;/p&gt;</description>

alt=&quot;ares1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ares - ares1.jpg&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ares is the great Olympian God of War Battlelust Civil Order and Manly Courage Ares who became the Greek god of war had a miserable childhood The only son of the mighty Zeus ruler of the Olympians and his wife Hera Ares was disliked by his father from the moment he was born and was barely tolerated from then on   Perhaps Zeus just couldn&apos;t warm up to the little guy because he hadn&apos;t had a part in Ares&apos; conception or his birth Hera with the help of a magical herb had managed to get herself pregnant with the help of Zeus or any man a process called parthenogenesis (Note: Most myths name Ares as the son who was born as a result of this immaculate conception but in some versions the son was Hephaestus)Hera had done this to even the score with her husband for having given birth to Dionysus by himself  A short version of that story: Semele one of Zeus&apos; many lovers lay dying while pregnant with Zeus&apos; son Dionysus With the help of Hermes Zeus removed the unborn child and implanted him under the skin of his thigh where he remained until he was ready to be born For whatever reason Zeus failed to bond with his infant son Ares Zeus was not even particularly concerned when the young boy went missing a few years later and didn&apos;t expend much effort looking for the poor lad As it turns out the young Ares had been abducted by two playmates the giant Aloadai twins who had caught him and locked him in a bronze jar Ares stayed captive in the bronze jar almost losing his mind in captivity until the stepmother of the unruly twins figured out what had happened and told Zeus&apos; assistant Hermes who was able to release Ares from the jarAfter this incident Hera decided that Ares&apos; might be better off living somewhere else and arranged for him to live with Priapus one of the minor deities Priapus trained the young Ares in the art of dancing and later in the martial artsEven though he was well-trained and served as the god of war Ares wasn&apos;t a great fighter and lost many of his battles especially those involving his half-sister and arch-enemy Athena who was the goddess of wisdom as well as the goddess of war (not to mention being Daddy&apos;s favorite)  Ares represented war conducted up close and personal hand to hand combat and the frenzy of battle and bloodlust Athena and Zeus  superbly rational  favored war at a distance strategic planning playing according to the rules of the game cold and calculating by comparison   Ares style was instinctual passionate and primitivenot destined to make him appear heroic in the eyes of a culture that valued reason and moderation There were other reasons as well: The Greek god Ares the god least favored by the citizens of Greece and by his parents (Zeus and his wife Hera) was seen by the ancient Greeks as a mercenary warrior filled with a bloodlust that could not be appeased and a fickle god as well    one who would fight for either side just to have a chance to vent his rage Ares&apos; unpopularity was probably inevitable given that the Greeks of that time were mostly involved in petty wars amongst themselves  wars where allegiances were unclear and shifted frequently Any god of war would have found it very difficult to please everyone in that situationIt&apos;s easy to see why Ares&apos; other incarnation as Mars the Roman God of War fared much better -- the Roman viewpoint was no doubt influenced by the fact that Rome was usually at war with foreign powers so that a god of war could be someone that could be worshipped and viewed as heroic one always battling for a just cause (ie their side) During the Trojan War Ares fought on the side of the Trojans against the Greeks as a show of support for his lover Aphrodite who had set the war in motion  This did not win him any points with the other Olympians who except for Apollo supported the Greeks  He charged at Athena who was taunting him about it and she calmly reached down and picked up a rock and smashed him over the head with it stopping his advanceAthena also convinced one of the Greek warriors to wound Ares in the side during the battle and Ares bellowed so loudly in pain and rage that the earth shook He complained to Zeus about Athena&apos;s humiliating him on the battlefield and Zeus dismissively called him a whine who enjoyed nothing but brawling   Ares rarely went out of his way to come to the aid of his fellow Olympians But once bored with the endless petty wars of the Greeks he decided to rescue Hades who was being held captive by King Sisyphus Ares came to his assistance threatening to decapitate Sisyphus if he didnt release him and turn himself in as Hades prisoner Trembling with fear Sisyphus surrendered to HadesAres may not have matched the Olympian ideal of rationality and moderation but he was not without his followers Unfortunately they were mostly a band of malevolent minor deities and mortals including several of his sons most of whom ended with unhappy fates Ares usually rode into battle accompanied by his two sons Phobos (Fear) and Daiemos (Panic) Although the Greek god Ares was heavily criticized for reacting emotionally rather than rationally and for not always following the rules he was quick to jump to the defense of those with whom he felt a kinship including his large brood of offspring Unfortunately his feelings often propelled him into battles that he could not winWhen one of his sons was killed during the Trojan War Ares leapt onto the battlefield defying Zeus&apos; orders that the gods and goddesses not take part in the battleAnd Ares felt strongly about his daughters as well When his daughter Alcippe was raped by one of Poseidon&apos;s sons Ares promptly killed him This lead to the first murder trial in recorded history The trial was held on a hill in Athens that was subsequently named the Aeropagus (Ares&apos;

                <media:title>Ares</media:title>
                <media:description>Ares is the great Olympian God of War Battlelust Civil Order and Manly Courage Ares who became the Greek god of war had a miserable childhood The only son of the mighty Zeus ruler of the Olympians and his wife Hera Ares was disliked by his father from the moment he was born and was barely tolerated from then on   Perhaps Zeus just couldn&apos;t warm up to the little guy because he hadn&apos;t had a part in Ares&apos; conception or his birth Hera with the help of a magical herb had managed to get herself pregnant with the help of Zeus or any man a process called parthenogenesis (Note: Most myths name Ares as the son who was born as a result of this immaculate conception but in some versions the son was Hephaestus)Hera had done this to even the score with her husband for having given birth to Dionysus by himself  A short version of that story: Semele one of Zeus&apos; many lovers lay dying while pregnant with Zeus&apos; son Dionysus With the help of Hermes Zeus removed the unborn child and implanted him under the skin of his thigh where he remained until he was ready to be born For whatever reason Zeus failed to bond with his infant son Ares Zeus was not even particularly concerned when the young boy went missing a few years later and didn&apos;t expend much effort looking for the poor lad As it turns out the young Ares had been abducted by two playmates the giant Aloadai twins who had caught him and locked him in a bronze jar Ares stayed captive in the bronze jar almost losing his mind in captivity until the stepmother of the unruly twins figured out what had happened and told Zeus&apos; assistant Hermes who was able to release Ares from the jarAfter this incident Hera decided that Ares&apos; might be better off living somewhere else and arranged for him to live with Priapus one of the minor deities Priapus trained the young Ares in the art of dancing and later in the martial artsEven though he was well-trained and served as the god of war Ares wasn&apos;t a great fighter and lost many of his battles especially those involving his half-sister and arch-enemy Athena who was the goddess of wisdom as well as the goddess of war (not to mention being Daddy&apos;s favorite)  Ares represented war conducted up close and personal hand to hand combat and the frenzy of battle and bloodlust Athena and Zeus  superbly rational  favored war at a distance strategic planning playing according to the rules of the game cold and calculating by comparison   Ares style was instinctual passionate and primitivenot destined to make him appear heroic in the eyes of a culture that valued reason and moderation There were other reasons as well: The Greek god Ares the god least favored by the citizens of Greece and by his parents (Zeus and his wife Hera) was seen by the ancient Greeks as a mercenary warrior filled with a bloodlust that could not be appeased and a fickle god as well    one who would fight for either side just to have a chance to vent his rage Ares&apos; unpopularity was probably inevitable given that the Greeks of that time were mostly involved in petty wars amongst themselves  wars where allegiances were unclear and shifted frequently Any god of war would have found it very difficult to please everyone in that situationIt&apos;s easy to see why Ares&apos; other incarnation as Mars the Roman God of War fared much better -- the Roman viewpoint was no doubt influenced by the fact that Rome was usually at war with foreign powers so that a god of war could be someone that could be worshipped and viewed as heroic one always battling for a just cause (ie their side) During the Trojan War Ares fought on the side of the Trojans against the Greeks as a show of support for his lover Aphrodite who had set the war in motion  This did not win him any points with the other Olympians who except for Apollo supported the Greeks  He charged at Athena who was taunting him about it and she calmly reached down and picked up a rock and smashed him over the head with it stopping his advanceAthena also convinced one of the Greek warriors to wound Ares in the side during the battle and Ares bellowed so loudly in pain and rage that the earth shook He complained to Zeus about Athena&apos;s humiliating him on the battlefield and Zeus dismissively called him a whine who enjoyed nothing but brawling   Ares rarely went out of his way to come to the aid of his fellow Olympians But once bored with the endless petty wars of the Greeks he decided to rescue Hades who was being held captive by King Sisyphus Ares came to his assistance threatening to decapitate Sisyphus if he didnt release him and turn himself in as Hades prisoner Trembling with fear Sisyphus surrendered to HadesAres may not have matched the Olympian ideal of rationality and moderation but he was not without his followers Unfortunately they were mostly a band of malevolent minor deities and mortals including several of his sons most of whom ended with unhappy fates Ares usually rode into battle accompanied by his two sons Phobos (Fear) and Daiemos (Panic) Although the Greek god Ares was heavily criticized for reacting emotionally rather than rationally and for not always following the rules he was quick to jump to the defense of those with whom he felt a kinship including his large brood of offspring Unfortunately his feelings often propelled him into battles that he could not winWhen one of his sons was killed during the Trojan War Ares leapt onto the battlefield defying Zeus&apos; orders that the gods and goddesses not take part in the battleAnd Ares felt strongly about his daughters as well When his daughter Alcippe was raped by one of Poseidon&apos;s sons Ares promptly killed him This lead to the first murder trial in recorded history The trial was held on a hill in Athens that was subsequently named the Aeropagus (Ares&apos; Hill) Ares was acquitted of the crimeSometimes Ares&apos; loyalties led him astray One of his sons Cycnus was a thief who fell upon travelers murdering them for their bones which he was using to construct a gruesome temple to his father Cycnus picked the wrong victim when he tried to assault Heracles (Hercules) As they fought Areas rushed to fight on his son&apos;s side but they were no march for Heracles who killed Cycnus and wounded AresLittle is written about Ares in his aspect as Lord of the Dance but much can be inferred Just as in many tribal cultures warriors drum and dance before doing battle the passion and intensity of the ecstatic dance the sheer physicality of it is closely associated with the masculine energy the forceful and aggressive impulse that can bring courage in its wake And no one every doubted that Ares had courageBut what of his loves Ares never married although he had over twenty lovers who bore him children And apparently his love affairs weren&apos;t overnighters but were long lasting relationships because many of them bore him several children Being deceptive or even indirect could not be listed among his shortcomings Unlike the other Greek gods Ares did not rely on trickery abduction or rape to establish his love affairs Ares is best known for his long-term love affair with the goddess Aphrodite the goddess of romance and beauty His lengthy love affair with Aphrodite led to the birth of four children--their daughter Harmonia (Harmony) later became the mother of the Amazons a tribe of fearsome warrior women The tabloids were probably invented for the sole purpose of keeping up with the latest gossip about what the couple were up to Be sure to read the story of Hephaestus for an account of how Aphrodite&apos;s husband managed to catch them in the act and haul them into court for the Trial of the Century   which ended in their acquittal of course So important was Aphrodite to Ares that when she fell in love with the beautiful Adonis (who was some say effeminate Ares&apos;
