Rasputin
GRIGORY EFIMOVICH NOVYKH (RASPUTIN): 'Hail, Hail, Ras-putin'. This man's story has intrigued me for all of my life. His daughter's book was the most rewarding insight I have read in matters corporeal but it is the issues of his knowledge to heal and how he died, that she makes evident, which deserve further explanation. When first I read how Rasputin had been taught in a monastery ? I wondered. How is it that Christian 'brothers' or friars are able to practice these shamanic arts? In Nicholas and Alexandra, I saw more of the political aspects as well as the stupidity of the Czar and his wife who depended so heavily on Rasputin. Of course, there are reasons and sciences which I have continued to study and find. These studies are able to explain what happened and how these things can be. For example, he did not heal the young son Alexei of haemophilia because the child actually had Aplastic Crisis and it naturally settles itself when the red blood cells are replenished. But he knew or sensed this, whereas the doctors did not. The one aspect of his prophecy in writing about his death that I regard with awe is that his daughter reports he absolutely knew he went to meet death on the night he died. I can see how he would decree the end of the Romanovs if one of their relatives were involved in his murder. I can even imagine as I read her story about his death that he enjoyed and was fully up to the challenge of cheating death or the poisons used upon him. He died of drowning after being poisoned, shot, beaten and stabbed to be thought dead many times over. His prophecy about the end of the Russian Empire was fulfilled because one member of the Royal family was the murderer who led the conspirators. They cut a whole in the ice and dropped his body wrapped inside a carpet into the river. He apparently never learned to apply ethics or RIGHT THOUGHT in his studies but that is also true of the monks or Christians he learned from.

Precious Stones - The Big Five: Part 2, The Ruby What fairy tales of enchanted princesses and legendary lore of the Arabian Nights does not the mere mention of the ruby conjure up to our imagination! No stone has been more intimately connected with poetry and romance, and few gems can compare either in beauty or value with a perfect ruby. When Solomon exclaimed that "a virtuous woman was more valuable than rubies," and Job, that "the price of wisdom is above rubies," they both mentioned what to them was the most valuable thing in existence. And its value and rarity have not decreased since their time. Today a perfect ruby of five carats will fetch at least five times the value of a diamond of the same size and quality, while rubies without flaw or blemish, and of the true pigeon-blood variety, weighing as much as ten carats, are so rare and valuable that ten times the value of a perfect diamond would be considered a very low price to pay for so perfect a gem. Chinese Zodiac Signs Each Chinese New Year begins on the day of first new moon. In the western year 2005, the new moon began on February 9. It was the Chinese year 4702. In actuality, most Chinese began using the western, or solar, calendar in the early twentieth century, except on important holidays. Many of the calendars in China show both the solar dates of the western calendar and the lunar dates of the Chinese calendar. Chinese astrology is based on the twelve cycles of the moon.The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals, rather than the solar signs used in the west. In the Chinese calendar each period lasts for a full cycle of the moon, from new to full. There are twelve complete lunar cycles in a Chinese zodiac year, but one animal symbolizes the entire year. According to their calendar, the Chinese complete a cycle every twelve years. So if you were born in the year of the rat, you would celebrate your zodiac birthday every twelve years, and your Chinese zodiac sign would be the rat. In the west your astrological sign appears once each year.The calendar and its animals were created from an ancient legend. It tells us that the animals were all fighting about who was going to be in the prime (first) position on the Chinese calendar. The gods devised a test in which the animals would compete for their position by swimming across a river. Another version says that the Buddha requested visits by the animals before he left earth. He named the moon cycles after the animals in order of appearance. So the Chinese zodiac symbol is a circle divided into twelve equal sections; think of it as if you were marking off slices of a pie. There is a picture of the animal representing that Chinese zodiac sign in each section. The calendar's use dates clear back to 2600 BC.The animals used in Chinese astrology are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and boar (pig). Persons born during their cycle are said to take on their animal traits:Rat- Perfectionist, charming, aggressive, secretive, party-loving, quick-witted, stubborn, good at politics and business, can be meanOx- Quiet, quick to anger, excellent memories, hard-working, family loyalty, creative, skilful hands, responsible, self-confidentTiger- Leaders, courageous, territorial, possessive, fighters, generous and selfish, magnetic, passionate, works solo, dynamicRabbit- Sweet-natured, conservative, artistic, tasteful, sentimental, emotional, shy, faithful to partners, romantic, avoid fightingDragon- Regal, leader, centre of attention, powerful, lucky, aggressive, dynamic, big ego, snobbish, tyrannicalSnake- Charming, popular, lies easily, possessive, hates rejection, deep thinker, well-mannered, lazy, romantic, insecureHorse- Crowd lover, rebellious, energetic, selfish, self-centered, good with money, cunning, lacks self-confidenceSheep or goat- Artistic, creative, lazy, disorganized, charming, well-mannered, dreamy, pessimistic, romantic, worrier, not good in businessMonkey- Charming, witty, clever, emotional, unscrupulous, love food but not gluttons, deceptive, funny, luckyRooster- Straight-forward, honest, flashy dresser, loyal, honest, dreamer, psychic, busy, loves a bargain, observersDog- Traditional, loyal, sincere, intelligent, private, judgmental, serious, anxious, likes solitude, champions causesPig or boar- Loving, caring, chivalrous, sincere, honourable, easy to take advantage of, belief in goodness, love food, romantic, jealous Opal Jewelry -- Your Own Personal Piece of Rainbow Opal is a magnificent gemstone whose shades encompass virtually every hue in the color spectrum.

The Man Who Loved Jail Around my twentieth birthday life became a series of incredible events. Perhaps in retrospect it has never ended.

Egyptian Handmade Perfume Bottles Blown glass, a very ancient technique, is the oldest among the handicrafts. It is said by some, that ancient Egyptians were the original inventors of glass making techniques. Production of metallurgy and faience helped a great deal in the manufacture of glass afterwards. The earliest Egyptian glass known to us was in the form of small beads and pendants found in sites dating back to the 3rd millennium B.C. At that time glass was made by melting a combination of silica-sand, lime, and soda. The interaction of the heated soda and the hot sand formed a transparent flowing liquid, which was then permitted to cool forming glass.
