|Rossy 29 May 19
|I have these dreaded sores now an again, mostly from stress or brushing my teeth to vigorously....I found a few things work to control the pain a bit.
- Drink a nice cup of hot sleepy time tea - no sugar (soothes the pain and controls the redness)
- Gargle Listerine for 1 min. (my dad always recommended it when we were sick etc, but it works like a charm for these sores. Stings like hell for a few secs, but defo helps with the pain.

|I've got ulcers past five days I'm suffering like anythng I'm not able to have anythng though I'm hungry.. I'm not even able to brush my teeth my gums pains badly.. Ulcers has spread on tongue below in sides all over the mouth plzzz help me out..
|Sana 8 December 17
Recently, I've been struggling with a ulcer on the side/back of my tongue and it hurts like hell when I gulp or do anything related to using my mouth.
I haven't brushed my teeth for 4 days because of this, even opening my mouth hurts.

|apply honey to it before bed with cotton swab a did it for my daughter for a week and a noticed the redness left and she could eat and drink comfortably. The ulcer can still be there but it at least take the pain and discomfort, my child lost some weight due to the sever pain but after using honey she is much better. Honey can cause a burning sensation so take it easy when you put it on to your ulcer. After the redness does leave try to find a aloe vera plant and use the gel inside and apply it with a cotton swab or salt and hyrdogen peroxide and take it like a mouth wash you could also use these remedies instead of honey.

|I just got diagnosed with hand foot mouth disease. I have so many ulcers that are on my lips and throughout my whole mouth with the exception of the top right side of my tongue, that get worse each day. I gave up trying to brush for two days until today when I attempted to try and brush just my teeth. FAIL. The pain was immense! So I opened my mouth and allowed water to just pour in and then I used my finger. This really made a difference. The pain was helped by the running water and all the build up came off gum,cheeks, and roof of mouth.It's not a thorough clean but better than nothing or ripping mouth apart with toothbrush. Then I used floss to gently clean between teeth. I also have lidocain 2% form dr and mix 1.1.1 with baby benedryl and mylanta which numbs pain for maybe 30 minutes. This is the worst virus I think I have ever had.

|Well you can put salt on the toothbrush hurts like hell but that means it working but ulcers normally stay in your mouth for about 2 weeks :/
|Jasmine Patterson 4 August 11
|This site is so helpful I never thought to switch toothpastes but the Crest 3D white has turned the inside of my mouth into a shred fest :(
|Candace 4 August 11
|I have hand foot mouth disease, thus causes me to have painful sores in my mouth. when i went to the doctor they prescribed me some "magic mouth wash" so the pain wouldnt be so intense.
|Cherne 17 October 10
|As mentioned above, how you brush your teeth is also important. Perhaps more important than which toothpaste you're using. A hard toothbrush can penetrate your gums, irritate the tissues beneath, and thus open the gate for nasty bacteria and viruses which are abundant in the mouth. So, take it easy with that toothbrush:)
|Berky 23 June 10
|I am a teenager and i get these's uclers right below my lower teeth. it hurts so bad to put the tooth brush in that spot. i dont think the problem is in the tooth paste. it doesnt matter wat goes near it, it just hurts like hell with anything. i dont know wat i need to do to get rid of them, ive gone to my mom but we still havent seen a doctor. i cant continue dealing with this pain. and i definatly dont want my boyfriend to get them because of me. i dont know what to do.
|KayleeLynn 17 June 10
|You can buy this stuf over the counter now, its like a cotton wool bud, and when u break one end, da liquid n da tube goes down to the other end. You then rub it over the ulcer, it sting like hell when you do so, but the pain is gone within a few minutes. Cant remember the name but definately ask your pahrmacist :)
|Dave 11 June 10
|To Clyde. I haven't checked the site since 2/8, and didn't see your reply until today. Thanks for the tip about the sls-free shampoo. I'll definitely look into it. Meanwhile, the Squigle toothpaste seems to keep me from getting the ultra-painful ulcers, though it hasn't eliminated all ulcers completely. Still, the results have been good enough (in almost three months of steady use) for me to want to stay with it.
|Billy from Philly 22 March 08
|To Billy from Philly. It has been awhile since I cheked on this website. I have experimented going back to my old shampoo with the sodium lauryl sunfate and within a few days ended up with sores that took a couple of weeks to elimant after I went back to my SLS free shampoo. If I work up the courage once again I will try the experiment again. (my wife thinks I am nutsfor doing it again). I went to a health food store in tucson to find liquid hand soap. The shampoo is Shikai and their website is shikai.com. There must be others but read the fine print. They are hard to find.
|Clyde in Tucson 2 February 08
|Since my last post on 1/19, I had two ulcers inside my left cheek come and go in a few days without much pain, but then I got one on the inside of my lip close to my front teeth that hurts a lot. Now I have one on inside of my right cheek that's killing me. I've heard people say you need to give Squigle time to work. I've been taking it since before Christmas, so if it doesn't kick in soon, I might be back to square one.
|Billy from Philly 2 February 08
|Updating my post from 12/22, I've been using Squigle toothpaste 3 times a day since then, and also taking two 500 mg. capsules of L-Lysine every day. The ulcers I had when I started stayed around a few days, and then I got a couple more when the first ones faded, but the new ones didn't seem to hurt much. I had one ulcer when I had my teeth cleaned by a hygienist on 1/10, and since then have had a few minor mouth irritations (normal after a cleaning) but no new ulcers. I'm not ready to declare victory yet, but I'm definitely going to buy more Squigle and L-Lysine. Another good thing about Squigle is that, when you do have ulcers, it doesn't burn the crap out of them like other toothpastes--even some that say they have no SLS. After suffering one wave of sores after another since Sept., I'm enjoying the break.
|Billy from Philly 19 January 08
|Erm, try not brushing your teeth so hard. Mine I think are caused by this (or the stress of moving). I always seems to brush my teeth too hard with a strong toothbrush and cut my gums. Hey presto, instant ulcers. TRy not brushing so hard!
|Anna 7 January 08
|Clyde, Can you recommend a soap, shampoo and/or shaving cream that doesnt contain SLS? I checked the products I use, and they all have SLS as an ingredient.
|Billy from Philly 28 December 07
|I have had mouthsores for 35 years, ever since a very stressful time in my life and for the last year I have had more than ever before. They also were lasting longer and for the 1st time they migrated to my throat where they lasted for weeks-until I got SLS out of my life. Not only is this substance in toothpaste but in hand soaps, shampoos, shaving lather and some mouthwashes. The mouthsores slowly disappeared as I eliminated this chemical from my life. Now when I bite my cheek or tongue it doesnt progress immediately to a mouthsore like it used to. The inside lining of my mouth used to feel uncomfortable like it was ready to break out out any time (even if I didnt have mouthsores). Now it feels so much more relaxed. I now also change toothbruses every month and keep it in Listerine soaking (change the solution every 2 or 3 days) and use both baking soda to brush and a fluoride rinse after. There is still a tremendous amount of stress in my life but I use prayer to try to turn my problems over to God. May God bless all sufferers and may you find some relief for your problems.
|Clyde in Tucson 26 December 07
|Andy, I hope Squigle works for me the way it has for you. Im 55 and have gone no more than a few days without ulcers in my mouth since I was around 5. This year, my ulcers werent bad through early Sept. Ever since then, though, its been one painful wave after another--usually 5 or 6 at a time. Right now, I have just two of the buggers--one on the tip of my tongue and another on the inside of my cheek--but theyre both killing me. I just discovered this site a couple of weeks agio, and I ordered two tubes of Squigle from the manufacturer. They just arrived today. At the same time, Ive started taking L-Lysine (a 500 mg. capsule in the morning, and another at night). Ill post again in a couple of weeks to update my progress.
|Billy from Philly 22 December 07
|Emily, I had exactly the same problem. My gums/mouth lining seemed to shred every time I brushed my teeth. I stumbled on this site unable to sleep because I was in agony. Squigle toothpaste seemed the top of the survey so I ordered 4 tubes from the site to see what would happen. After 4 tubes I was down to 1 ulcer a week, sometimes none. Now 2 years later, I hardly every get them. Really. Except today, Ive got one growing...but even then I know that it will go in 2 or 3 days, not a week as it used to be. Squigle isnt cheap, and Ive heard you can get SLS-free toothpaste (SLS is allegedly the problem chemical) from other places, but if you are as demented with them as I used to be then Id buy it first, and do the market research later! This sounds like an advert, but it isnt, honest: I just feel a bit of an evangelist for it given the effect it had for me.
|andy 16 December 07
|My son suffers from canker sores regularly. One thing he does use that helps lessen the pain while brushing his teeth is Rembrandt toothpaste for canker sores. It is a little pricier than regular toothpastes, but there is an agent in it that is gentler on the teeth and gums when you have an ulcer outbreak. There are about 3 or 4 different Rembrandts for different uses (stain, whitening, gentle - which is what he uses and I dont remember the other) but definitely try it. I can only find it in a drugstore, if it isnt on the shelf, ask your pharmacist and he can order it for you. Good luck.
|Sandy M. 13 December 07
|I think there are infections of either the bacterial or viral kind that can go after the gums. Maybe changing to a softer toothbrush, a toothpaste like Squigle or another that doesnt have the detergent sodium lauryl sulfate and then ending the brushing session with a good swish and gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash would help. It is also possible there is some kind of nutritional deficiency that is causing the gums to bleed, although I know if I dont brush every day my gums can bleed slightly, and the same if I quit flossing for a time then resume. I think the gums just have to be attacked daily to keep them from bleeding.
|TomF 10 December 07
Everythime I seem to brush my teeth my gums bleed and then for the next few days I suffer with ulcers all over my gums which makes brushing my teeth very painful and sometimes impossible. Could I be allergic to something in toothpaste or is it because I stop brushing them as much when I have the ulcers - should I just put up with the pain and brush them anyway and hope that my gums get used to it?

Speculative Link-ups
This page is intended to describe potential spells and items created by Casters joined by a Thinkamancer Link-up. As the abiltiies of more Disciplines are revealed, the possible combinations will grow significantly.
- 1 Thinkamancer/Thinkamancer/Thinkamancer/Others
- 2 Thinkamancer/Carnymancer/Predictamancer
- 3 Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Dirtamancer
- 4 Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Dollamancer
- 5 Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Flower Power
- 6 Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Healomancer
- 7 Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Shockmancer
- 8 Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Dollamancer
- 9 Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Findamancer
- 10 Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Flower Power
- 11 Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Moneymancer
- 12 Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Shockmancer
- 13 Thinkamancer/Dittomancer/Moneymancer
- 14 Thinkamancer/Dittomancer/Turnamancer
- 15 Thinkamancer/Dollamancer/Healomancer
- 16 Thinkamancer/Dollamancer/Foolamancer
- 17 Thinkamancer/Flower Power/Healomancer
- 18 Thinkamancer/Flower Power/Moneymancer
- 19 Thinkamancer/Mathamancer/Predictamancer
- 20 Thinkamancer/Moneymancer/Luckamancer
- 21 Thinkamancer/Moneymancer/Turnamancer
- 22 Thinkamancer/Moneymancer/Predictamancer
- 23 Thinkamancer/Date-a-mancer/Turnamancer
This concept of this combination is that one Thinkamancer can link two more, which allows those two to link together two more Casters each, allowing a combination of five Disciplines instead of three. Although conceptually possible, Linking is described as an ability, not a spell, and as such might not be enhanced by the Link. If Linking devolves the mind to a function, and abilities are learned outside that function or if the suppression of others' individuality requires individuality of your own, then the two Linked Thinkamancers would not have access to this ability. Given the complexity of the Summon Perfect Warlord Spell, it may have required more than three Disciplines to create, and so may have been the result of a Link of this type. Given the danger of unravelling a link of only three Casters, unravelling more than three could not be anything less than suicidally dangerous.
- Another thought is to use a thinkamancer to chain together two other links, treating each chain as a single entity, as is the nature of the linkup. this would, of course, result in a total of seven participants and like mentioned, would be suicidal to separate without entire groups of thinkmancers working together, slowly, to unravel the linkup.
Potentially, a three thinkamancer link-up could also provide thinkamancy unparalleled outside of the Arkendish. Outright mind control as opposed to suggestion spells. Vastly improved thinkagrams. Stronger resilience of the link between casters, to the level that merely mentioning their names wouldn't kill them.
- Accurately gauge and cancel a specific fated event.
- This combination could create Bone and Flesh Golems from corpses unable to be uncroaked.
- uncroaking cloth golem. Creating flesh golems (with corpses that are already beyond being uncroaked)?
Thinkamancer/Croakamancer/Flower Power
- Resurrect units croaked within the past turn as long as the body is mostly intact.
- A Magic Item could direct shock directly to the heart of a unit that died from a failed heart (gas, death of fright, death from sudden cold), restoring it to normal life instead of uncroaking it.
- Create a "dollhouse", or rather, a city with more automated capabilities.
- This combination could find enemy Units and then sink them into the very ground they stand on from far beyond the range of any weapon.
- It could also find various objects or areas underground, eg. gems or tunnels.
Thinkamancer/Dirtamancer/Flower Power
- Convert terrain type to a farm.
- Upgrade cities at a greatly reduced cost without the casters being physically present in the cities. This link-up could be very cost-effective to a side that has many low-level cities.
- Finding mines or other sources of gems. Making mines more productive (finding more gems, 'upgrading' gems to be worth more).
- Modifying a terrain type to allow a city or vice versa.
- This combination could create a Lodestone -- a natural magnet -- which could be used to point to magnetic north for navigation, or if made much more powerful, affix metal-clad Units in place or rip the metal weapons from the hands of troops.
- Create a lightning rode to protect a city from shockamancy attacks.
- Use up juice to double some number of shmuckers.
- Create a purse-like Magic Item that refills every turn as long as one shmucker is left inside.
- Give a side multiple turns in a row.
- Could be used to massively increase rate of production, which could very well make Parson Gotti's idea for a side with zero upkeep plausible.
- Replicate enemy units when these pop they are friendly's, this could be used to disrupt an enemy in attack and defensive actions allowing for friendly troops to appear in the middle of a engagement. Clearly, the copied units would all have goatees. (see Evil Twin on Tvtropes )
Create golems that can heal golems and non-golem units.
Creating raiment with built in Foolamancy, such as camouflage or invisibility.
Thinkamancer/Flower Power/Healomancer
- Create medicinal drugs that can be used to heal units.
Thinkamancer/Flower Power/Moneymancer
- Create "cash crops" so that schmuckers can be harvested in place of rations.
- Mathamancy seems to be based on predicting the general likelyhood of an event, while Predictamancy seems to be based on peering into the Titans' great plan. It has been suggested that not everything is predetermined and a prophecy can be fulfilled in multiple ways. A combination of the two might be able to accurately determine the optimal path to achieve a prediction.
- Spend schmuckers to produce more good luck for the side.
- Steal schmuckers from an enemy's treasury.
- Spend schmuckers to improve a side's karma.
- Thinkamancy and Turnamancy allow units to be turned to a different side, while Date-a-mancy gives insight into a unit's relationships with others. A combination of the three might enable a side to turn units far more efficiently than any one of these casters separately.

Gay marriage nears SCOTUS
Break out the rainbow flags and wedding bands, say gay marriage advocates: As this year's term ends, they now predict that they'll be celebrating a Supreme Court decision at the end of the next one — or at latest, 2016's — fully legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.
Their optimism marks a sharp turn from two years ago, when many LGBT advocates were wary of rushing to the Supreme Court with a gay marriage legalization case, worried that they'd get there too quickly, get ruled against, and set the movement back years.
Story Continued Below
Today, just a year after the Windsor decision striking down the core of the Defense of Marriage Act and the Perry decision that kept California's Proposition 8 off the books, all major LGBT advocates support going to the Supreme Court. They plan to use the same kind of coordinated legal and public relations strategy that's led them to 16 out of 16 victories in lower courts, including Tuesday's in Kentucky, where a district judge appointed by President George H.W. Bush struck down the state's gay marriage ban.
( Also on POLITICO: Hobby Lobby decision: 5 takeaways)
Those decisions, along with movement in states that have legalized marriage legislatively, have created momentum. But they've also created an unusually pockmarked legal landscape that has different marriage laws state to state, even in the same region.
It's the sort of situation, many believe, that just might motivate the Supreme Court to step in and establish one set law.
That, and not his own view on gay marriage, is what's driving Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes to petition the court, explaining in a statement that he's seeking "certainty and finality for all Utahns on such an important issue with a decision from the highest court."
Noting that even among the attorneys in his office there are differing personal views on gay marriage, he added, "The state looks forward to the day when these issues are resolved and Utah, along with its citizens, have certainty and a clear understanding of the law."
( Also on POLITICO: The Supreme Court did not just kill public sector unions)
Meanwhile, advocates are counting on that certainty to take the form of a legalization ruling from the same five justices who struck down DOMA — and maybe even a legacy-minded Chief Justice John Roberts joining, too.
They say they might get there via the Utah attorney general's petition. Or via circuit court decisions in Oklahoma and Nevada. Or by way of the case that went through a full trial in Michigan, or others in Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee or beyond.
Marriage legalization advocates also feel that the lack of chaos or disruption in the 19 states (plus Washington, D.C.) that have legalized gay marriage — in a statistic advocates like to cite, that accounts for 44 percent of the total American population — will ease the minds of justices who might worry that the country's not ready for gay marriage, as even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has hinted at in the past. The polls that show popular opinion sprinting to legalization should help, too, they say.
( Also on POLITICO: SCOTUS sides with Hobby Lobby on birth control)
"A movement like ours doesn't have to win in the four corners of the country. We had never been intending to plod state-by-state until we get through Mississippi in 2030 or something," said Evan Wolfson, the founder and president of Freedom to Marry, which has been bringing cases for years. "But though you don't have to win every state, you have to win enough states."
"We're just about as ready as we're going to be," said James Esseks, director of the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender & AIDS Project, who was among those urging advocates to put the brakes on efforts to go to the court for the Perry decision.
Since Windsor and Perry, over 80 cases have been filed in federal and state courts, now in every single state that doesn't have legal gay marriage already.
"The court decisions were the equivalent of, 'Come on in, the water's warm.' You have seen the arguments replicated in all these cases," said Fred Sainz, vice president for communications at the Human Rights Campaign — a group that had, under previous leadership, been among the leading groups wary of now-executive director Chad Griffin's push to get Perry in front of the Supreme Court.
Even among those who'd been eager earlier to go to the Supreme Court, there used to be a debate over finding the right case, the perfect plaintiff, the exact set of legal issues to present to wary justices. At this point, advocates don't seem to think it matters which case is the one that gets there, confident that any of them would hit at the same due process and equal protection issues, and that, anyway, the court is seen as likely to wait for a few of them to rule on together rather than just taking the first one.
"Will the court take the first cert petition, I don't know," said Andrew Pincus, a former assistant solicitor general during the Reagan administration and currently a partner at Mayer Brown specializing in its Supreme Court practice. "But I think they're going to take it."
The timeline, Pincus said, is likely "sometime in the next six or eight months," adding that as to the likely outcome, "I do think it's quite telling that there's been, except for one vote, such unanimity in the results the judges have reached, regardless of who appointed them. I think that tells you a lot of how people are looking at these legal arguments."

Chestnut Crumb Coffee Cake
03.06.10 by Jackie
For brunch, the girls and I made a crumb coffee cake flavored with chestnut purée, and a streusel topping made with cinnamon and brown sugar for a rich, caramel flavor. Buttermilk gives a moist texture to the coffee cake; the result was just divine. Chestnut may not be a common flavor for coffee cake, but I guarantee that after tasting it, you'll be hooked.
I served the coffee cake with a big pot of masala chai. We all enjoyed ourselves. Hope your weekend is as relaxing and peaceful as ours!

1 John 4:15-19
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
19 We love, because He first loved us.
John 3:16-18
16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

Romans 3:10-12 - New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10) As it is written, "There is none righteous, not even one; 11) There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God; 12) All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one."
Romans 3:-
3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written,
"That Thou mightest be justified in Thy words,
And mightest prevail when Thou art judged."
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.) 6 May it never be! For otherwise how will God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10 as it is written,
"There is none righteous, not even one;
11 There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God;
12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless;
There is none who does good,
There is not even one."
13 "Their throat is an open grave,
With their tongues they keep deceiving,"
"The poison of asps is under their lips";
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness";
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood,
16 Destruction and misery are in their paths,
17 And the path of peace have they not known."
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.
31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Mr Baldy wrote:Resurrection Torchlight wrote:What is your motivation to please God?
I really don't think anyone can honestly say that they have a motivation to please God.

There is none who seeks for God; 12) All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one."
But I would go a step farther and say that it is Christ in me that motivates me to please God.Hebrews 13:20-21

21 equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
The Bible says that we are His workmanship, created in Christ, to walk in the works that God prepared for us to accomplish (Eph 2:8-10). And also that He will complete the work He began in us (Phil 1:6).
We are only able to please God when we are inspired or motivated by His Holy Spirit who is at work in us, He purifies, He sanctifies, He equips me and motivates me to righteousness. My role is to yield to the work of His Spirit in me. I can do nothing at all that is pleasing to the Lord without Him working in me to accomplish it.
So He is the source of my motivation, as I yield to the work of His Holy Spirit to sanctify me.
The sad truth is that I do not want to please the Lord, but He wants me to, and He is at work in me to motivate me to do that which is pleasing to Himself.

When we are not discipled properly, not being taught the right way to live for God, we will automatically move into erroneous ways, methods, routines, formulas, doctrines, etc. Some of which include religious activity like witnessing (whether we really want to or not), church attendance (if we think that makes us right with God), bible reading (if we think that makes us right with God), prayer (if we think that prayer will give us victory).
It's meaning is this: When we have been born again, it is natural for us to continue living in the same vein as we did our whole life. This method is based on our performance; when we do good we are rewarded. We carry this over into our walk with the Lord and many results follow with spiritual laws coming into effect.
Discipleship is lacking so greatly in churches today because leadership can only tell people what they should do and can't tell them how to do it. It is so simple that we stumble over it. It is the offense of the cross that takes place in many churches today. Not the offense for salvation, but for sanctification (how we live out our lives on a day to day basis).

NEW YORK, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- First Lady Michelle Obama put on her dancing shoes for a video with late night comic Jimmy Fallon dubbed "The Evolution of Mom Dance."
Obama and Fallon -- dressed in drag for the bit -- performed a series of middle-aged dance floor staples Friday night like the "go shopping, get groceries" "the sprinkler" and "driving the station wagon." It was a parody on the viral video "Evolution of Dance."
From there, the skit satirized some lesser known mom-on-the-dance-floor moves, with the first lady and Fallon doing "the hip bump," "where did your father go get him over here!" and the "Oh my god! I love this song!"
She closed with "the Dougie."
Behind the laughs was a serious message, though.
Obama was on the show to promote her "Let's Move!" fitness campaign, The Christian Science Monitor said. She did "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last year and invited the comic to the White House for a series of physical challenges including a sack race across the East Room, CNN said.
After the dancing was over, she took a turn on the couch, dishing on her husband's moves.
"I give him a B. His dancing is right here in the pocket," she said. "He's got, like, three good moves."
She also confessed to some reality TV habits. Obama said she watched Bravo's "The Real Housewives" series, but not "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
Politico said Obama has scheduled several other television appearances to mark the third anniversary of "Let's Move!"

New Tax Headache For Indies/
Michael Cohen thankfully tipped me off to this. It's a headache for not just Indies but for all small businesses. It effects all filmmakers as it adds on a new layer of tax reporting for any production. According to this article, you will now need to report, via 1099, any PURCHASE you make -- and intend to write off -- on an individual basis. If you buy a new computer, you will have to send Apple a 1099. Time to consultant your accountant.

Not to entirely copy from an earlier post in which I at least tried to explain what it is about characters, such as Gin-sama, that I particularly like... but anyhow trying to better articulate the reasons behind it all.
1) First and foremost: She's a LOT like myself, save for relative lack of self control, but just about all the characteristics Cal listed
2) Like Cal said: anti-hypocrite rooted in ruthlesness
3) She still has a "warm heart" as opposed to the ice-queen Barasuishou
4) Overall character design and complexity all the way from name and clothing to her deeply passionate personality
5) B - e - a - u - t - i - f - u - l !!!! Totally and absolutely so, don't give me that "but she's a doll ffs?!?" - crap. One of the rare few light-shade-haired characters that I actually think look stunning with the color, since I'm totally into dark hair...
Suppose that's quite enough of a reason already... though, I'm not stuck on staring at the imaginary good / evil axis of things, so I'm not biased in thinking that Gin-sama would be evil or sth. She's merely employing the means given to her to play the game when there doesn't seem to be any rules regarding etiquette.
- Truly, those who are the most selfish and ruthless employ all means necessary to get what they want... Even if it means to be considerate and polite towards others. Then again, it's so much easier to just use brute force to enforce your will since pen alone isn't mightier than the sword. It all depends on who's telling what and to whom, since some people just understand only one language - violence

Also, I think that it is natural for humans to root for those they perceive as on the losing end; almost like the underdog. And to be sure, Suigintou has gone through a lot of suffering, and has gotten the most crap, really, to get where she has in present time, at Megu's side. In that, she is already like the underdog that emerges successful and maybe that is what some see and like in her. Also, the fact that her journey hasn't ended, and she has much to overcome, moves them to root even more for her. Well, I could be wrong.
And well, it's my personal hope against that more good can emerge from her.

But in regards to the question why do I like Gin... Hmmm thats a hard one, as each of their characters grow throughout each series with Ouverture really setting the foundation for Gin's character. Which means my feelings for Gin have swung around quite a bit (in a good way).
Hmmm from S1 to thinking wow she's efil (the way she used Sou's medium and messed with Jun's mind and various other scenes) to thinking she's rather pitiful when she dies....
"While Father was making her, he erased her design"
Then with S2, I know many people were wondering how they were going to bring Gin back and who was going to be the villian, but they did a darn good job neh?
With S2 and her interactions with Megu and the reason why she was collecting the Rosa Mystica really impressed me. Not just what she was doing, but they way she did it, she kept so in character, which is one of the things I like so much about Rozen Maiden, no one's characters suddenly change or miraculously heals (Jun for example). If we could see Gin's tree right now, I would say that in the cold snowy dark land scape full of broken dolls a sapling is sprouting through her relationship with Megu (and maybe a touch of Shinku's apology). I personally don't think her love for Rozen has been that much of a benefit for her or any of the dolls (apart from animating her in the first place).
"On that feeling alone she acted without a medium"
RMO I feel made it difficult for people to really understand Gin (sorry everyone ), the reason why I say this is, it gave an easy target of blaming Shinku for Gin's problems. Gin striking out at Shinku I can understand, but for Gin fans to do so I feel undermines the depth of Gin's character. I really like Lost's POV of RMO as that adds to Gin and I feel the same way about RMO too and I feel it adds to Gin by seeing how much she grows throughout the series. I can't help but feel excited to see more of RM, for all of the maidens (and hopefully to see the BB boil in a pot)

well that was shinku in the past...so she deserved some of the blame for having such a stuck up attitude towards being daddy's favorite ~ but she has redeemed herself for noticing the wrongs that she did so i am grateful for that ~ so in ouverture shinku is seen as the villain but times have changed since then so most of the blame is now shifted...to rozen ~ BURN!!

Still, adding to Lost's statement, I'll maintain that there's a profound and well planned basis for the dolls' personalities and given traits in the way that their RMs are supposed to eventually become one, one way or another, to at least theoretically form Alice. No reason to believe or to assume that Rozen himself had planned everything from Gin x Shinku malice to Bara encounter. But it is safe to assume that he had indeed designed the dolls to have a certain "purpose" and their personality traits to fit it. Hence the outcome, though I still don't believe under these circumstances that he could have done anything to intervene with the dolls being hurt by each other and by Enju / Bara / Laplace trio.
I think that > something went wrong that wasn't planned for < Maybe it was Enju who wanted to play time in order to get Bara ready in order to show off. Maybe it was Shirosaki, who just wanted to play around with those foolish enough to step into his domain - the N-Fields, that is, if they are his to fool around with. Quite obviously, if Rozen was indeed such a bastard as some people make of him, he'd have just gone over the things the easy way and have the dolls beat each other up without a second thought to begin with a couple hundred years back, instead of ending up telling "there's another way"?! He's no sadist, or so it would seem... Maybe everything isn't quite that black and white...
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
"I am glad of all details, whether they seem to you to be relevant or not"

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel as though Enju was originally meant to be Rozen and he was indeed supposed to be a sadistic father...but that at the last moment the plot got changed. The last episode of Traumend was very jarring continuality wise. Honestly it left me going 'wtf just happened?' I was expecting some sort of giant epiphany and something along the lines of the scenes in the OP to happen. Of course that would have been an emotionally depressing conclusion, but the way that they suddenly revealed that Enju was not Rozen and ending the season without a question was just...ionno. Some major plot points bothered me.
Oh well...ShinkuxSuigintou ftw - I loved Overture so much. The OP, along with everything else, was amazingly beautiful. Needs moar third season.
My apologies if this has been brought up before...I only got into this series a few months back during a coincidental lapse in my interest in Type Moon, the series currently airing, and school work. I lack sensibility at times (along with the time to read everything in this section...though it's tempting).

Got to keep this short, since I'm near to being late, but from what I've read here, Enju doesn't even exist in the Manga storyline. I wouldn't think Peach-Pit would wish to deviate that much in the anime and have the roles swapped. As of sadism, at least in the drama CDs, Enju is the masochist type with bara playing the domina
Though, the way they've so far portrayed Rozen in the brief moments we've seen him handle the dolls, he'd have to be totally insane or have multiple personalities in order to be both - as gentle and loving as the dolls feel he is - and a sick bastard with only the outcome in mind. I believe Shinku who told us about what she had felt when near Rozen AND Enju who told us about what kind of feelings it takes to be a doll maker in general, let alone a maestro with the ability to make living dolls. "Without love you can't make dolls"
Ack! Gtg...

Also another problem with trying to decipher Rozen's actions (or lack of) is that we are never given enough information to make a good call. Funny thing is normally I get frustrated by it, but with RM it's nicely balanced with tit bits (rumors) from the maidens (as I am never too sure if that is reality they are talking about, or just something they truly believe). My stance on Rozen is the same as Jun's...

*Edit* Just watched that scene again and yup the shouting sums it all up nicely
*Edit again* I would like that to be changed to amazed by Rozen's work....
After watching the ending I've just had another what if! Its from the line where Shinku says that Rozen wants her to solve the problem (which I am guessing is referring to Hina (sniffle) and Sou not coming back to life)...
What if Rozen was betrayed by Enju and what Rozen wants is for someone who can carry on his work. In the old days artisans would only pass their secrets onto their children. ofc this does not fit into the description of Alice so its a pretty weak what if....

Alone, it's a valid line that can be considered for the plot, IMO. I do hope all those scenes in S1 about Jun being worthy of maestro-status wasn't for naught. But together with the Alice Game, it doesn't sound so reconcilable; like you pointed out, why have Alice then.

How does one "show" love anyhow? It's a feeling... he made the dolls, he gave them life and apparently has given not only Gin-sama new life twice, but the other dolls as well. Save for Hina and Sou, whose RMs were quite obviously taken by Laplace and couldn't therefore have been "fixed" by Rozen after the events of Träumend, even if he had wanted to. Something we just can't know and can't ask either.
Besides, that girlfriend idea of yours, was it a joke or do you really think so? I mean, it's possible, but considering the fact of fiction, we're dealing with here, Alice might just as well be some equivalent of the Philosopher's Stone, a goddess to bring a new era of happiness, or impossible to create altogether. Or the dolls decide it's better to remain as is and at the end of third season we'd have a last episode with Jun being hit by Suiseiseki's briefcase when she crashes through his bedroom window once again.
Why do people get stuck staring at some little (often imaginary) details when there's a whole lot of pieces missing from the whole puzzle? Why do they judge by the unfortunate chain of events instead of a relatively happy outcome? Why do I have to always start writing before I have to get to work...

^ scape goat as he still hasnt shown real evidence of how he is really like ~ fine we are give thoughts from all the RM dolls that rozen is like some god in heaven...but has anyone actually thought that this can be quite the opposite? from what i can tell (which isnt a lot) rozen only wants a perfect being which is alice ~ in order to obtain this he wants his dolls to kill each other in order to obtain each others roza mysticals...but is this the only way? since he was the one who gave out the roza mysticals why didnt he just save himself the trouble and merge them together himself? does he take pleasure to see his dolls kill each other? we have no way to tell what rozen's true objectives are...he could might as well be satan playing with emotion and feelings...(yet again i say that he could be like kazuya from kyoshiro to towa no sora ~ someone who is totally misunderstood)
and that girlfriend crack...its a joke but at times it seems so real...rozen is a pervert!!!

I've always found the whole Philosopher's Stone theory interesting, but then i've dismissed it....
Well to me Rozen and even Enju has surpassed what that Stone is meant to be able to grant (well if we keep it in the realms of not FMA). Generally it's associated with turning lead into gold, and staying young... Well I think that since Rozen and Enju are looking pretty young and they most defiently are beyond the years of a normal human. Transmutation... Changing lead into gold... Hell they can beat that, they can change lumps of clay into beautiful living, eating beings(not going to guess if they can breath or poo )
Unless ppl mean Philosopher's Stone, in a more philosophical sense ie an item overcome some limitation, then I personally think the whole PS theory is rather moot in the RM universe.

Meep meep, I'm a creep
Yes well, I used the "something of an equivalent of a Philosopher's Stone" thinking FMA and all that kind of stuff, so it wasn't even supposed to be a direct and literal comparison. But surely, if it were so that Rozen wants Alice for his own personal agenda, whether that be pleasure or what not, then does that reflect people's own way of thinking? I've come to think of Rozen as someone who does things just to see if he can, more of the scientist type, than someone whose ideals and hopes revolve only around his own histrionic self. One thing is for sure, he can and does love, if that truly is the power that keeps the dolls "alive". Being interested in psychology and having taken profiling as a sort of a hobby, I still maintain my point in that if Rozen was indeed a real human being, he'd have to have more than one personality disorder in order to be as profoundly contradicting as to wish for his own "children" he obviously loves very much to just blindly beat each other up. I really refuse to believe that it was him, who told the dolls to actually take the Alice Game seriously or if he was even the one to start the game to begin with. I still take this all as fiction, the way it should be taken as, and believe that it's totally up to whoever is writing the story. For all the possibilites available, he could just forget the viewers altogether and turn the whole 3rd season into a friggin parody, but that'd cause quite an uproar
Under that light, maybe the writer actually aimed at sparking all these emotions in people with not showing it all, just to have a stunning plot twist saved for last? This is what I'd do if I were to write a story - wrap the viewers around my finger by leading them around with bread crumbs only to take them to the edge, all hungry for more and give them a shock at the end. Then again, I suck at that kind of stuff, hence watching what others do.

After a longer break (I had other stuff to do), here is an update:
- I added villages consisting of multiple houses which are inhabited by NPCs. By now there is only one house type but more will be coming soon.
- There are also roads leading you to interesting places. They automatically form underground passages through mountains and bridges over canyons.
- The player can now walk uphill without jumping.
- I'm adding new zones, the first one being deserts including pyramids and oases. I also want to add tombs and ruins which you can explore as well as new enemies like undead mummies. :D
- There will be a lot of other zones like jungle, snow landscapes etc.

Prosumer Options: Knives and Gadgets
Professional baker Peggy Hambright recently purchased a house replete with pro-quality appliances, including a Viking range and Bosch dishwasher — but that didn't significantly improve her ability to cook chef-style meals for her husband and friends at home, she says.
"Even when we lived in an apartment with a 35-year-old stove and fridge, I already had the equipment that's important to me, like a good knife and my KitchenAid mixers," says Hambright, who is also a wedding cake designer and owner of Mag-Pies in Knoxville, Tenn.
Hambright's approach works just as well for those who don't own a single pro-quality appliance and have little prospect of getting one, whether the reason is budget, an immutable kitchen design or impending move. There are plenty of smaller gadgets and cookware pieces that will help you cook like a pro without breaking the bank or remodeling the kitchen, and they'll move with you when you go.
Hambright and other cooking experts share their ideas about the most useful pro gadgets for the home kitchen, how much is too much and which products won't add to your cooking experience.
Knives that cost $500? Hambright knows they exist, but "I don't believe in them," she says.
"I think you can do just as well with a mid-range steel knife, like a [Zwilling J.A.] Henckels, as long as you make friends with someone who knows how to sharpen knives," she says. "It really is more important to learn to sharpen or have it done professionally on a regular basis than it is to spend more. A lot of people are mistakenly buying new knives just because the old ones get dull."
Chef Ming Tsai is a popular public television show host (Simply Ming) and owner of the Blue Ginger Restaurant in Wellesley, Mass., who swears by his Kyocera ceramic knives, even when he's cooking at home. They retail for around $50 and are renowned for staying sharp, but home cooks must keep in mind that they?re ceramic and can break so you have to handle them with care.
Hambright's most treasured knife is a quirky one that her husband gave her, designed by celebrity chef Alton Brown of Food Network's Good Eats fame. It features a razor sharp blade, 33 layers of stainless steel and a 10-degree angled handle that prevents your knuckles from hitting the cutting board as you work. "It may sound silly, but I just love the way it feels in my hand," she says. "You do need to find a knife you can hold comfortably; otherwise, you're not going to want to use it."
"I would never skimp on a KitchenAid mixer," says Hambright, who bakes even at home and uses her mixers primarily to beat batter and whip egg whites. "I have four ranging in age from one to 17 and they are machines absolutely built to last."
Hambright uses one of her mixers as a juicer and admires the many attachments that can enhance the machines, from food mills to sausage grinders. "But they cost hundreds of dollars, so you should really figure out whether you're going to use one of those attachments a lot, getting it down to how much it will cost per use, before making the added investment," she says.
Another much ballyhooed "chef-style" prep item is the lavish butcher block or bamboo cutting boards, but Hambright doesn't see the point. "The dense plastic cutting boards are much more practical if you're really going to cook a lot, and you can clean them with bleach," she says.
Gas ranges with their high BTUs are the most sought-after appliances for avid home chefs, but if one's out of reach you might want to consider a single gas Bunsen burner with gas propane on the side, says Sue Adams, an interior designer with a flair for kitchens from Andover, Mass. "It's not a fine design element, but it can provide the high heat you want if you're a serious cook, particularly in an outdoor kitchen," she says.
If you've got a source of gas heat, even from a residential-style range, you can cook much more effectively if you invest in really good pots or pans, or even just one, says Eric Tanaka, executive chef for the posh Tom Douglas Restaurant Group in Seattle. "The thinner stainless steel or copper pans have hot spots, where a heavy enamel pot like an All-Clad spreads the heat evenly."
Tanaka says that lots of manufacturers, from Viking to Creuset, "make a pretty nice pot." In general, thicker is better. "A thin pan will cool down quickly when you put a piece of cold fish in there, while the thicker metal will sear better because it won't let the pan cool off even as you add new ingredients."
Keep in mind, says Tanaka, who also cooks at home for his two children: "Heat is just heat — it can only reach your food through the pans."

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. media mogul Oprah Winfrey has called off plans for a huge bash to celebrate her upcoming 60th birthday, E! News reported.
The "guest list was getting out of control so she decided to cancel," a source said.
However, Winfrey and about 50 friends marked the occasion in a low-key fashion last Friday by taking a spinning class at SoulCycle in West Hollywood.
"I just had the best birthday experience ever at SoulCycle," Winfrey said in a video she posted on her Instagram account after the class.
E! News said all the guests in the class wore blue shirts with "Happy Birthday Oprah" written in big green letters, while instructor Angela Davis included many of Winfrey's favorite songs during the 45-minute workout.
Winfrey will turn 60 Wednesday.

As I was wandering around the quiet rooms of Central Saint Martins' fashion studio to take a closer look at this year's crop of MA fashion graduates, a conversation was murmuring in the background between Louise Wilson, whose voice can boom across a room making it hard not to eavesdrop and Fleet Bigwood, noted textiles designer and head of print at Central Saint Martins. Bigwood was not happy with my taking pictures of the students' portfolios and samples whilst Wilson was fortunately coming to my defense and saying "She's giving exposure to the students!" It ended up being a much ado nothing conversation as I quickly assured them that I would be obtaining permission from all students to feature their work and Wilson thankfully let me get on with it.
From Bigwood's viewpoint though, I could see why he had reason to quibble. The show at Central Saint Martins this year was highly edited, down from the usual twenty-something students selected to show to a heavily reduced number of fourteen (thirteen, if you consider that one student showed two collections). It was also a crop that was very focused in on the textiles discipline and indeed, four of the students I've picked out here all come from a textiles for fashion background. There were so many ideas that felt original and technically challenging. Photo close-ups and details could therefore compromise a student's original vision. I am 100% behind protecting students' work from being leached out and appropriated by the wrong people and so it is that I bring you this round-up of Central Saint Martins MA 2013 graduates with a little bit of trepidation.
All the students were very obliging in allowing me to post their work and I've refrained from posting any samples of work that haven't been fully executed yet into silhouettes. I'm torn in two directions, obviously wanting to showcase the best of these students' work, promoting their ideas and fruits of labour but without stepping on anyone's toes, especially at this early stage in their careers. For me, straight-on catwalk pictures only tell (literally) one side of the story, hence why I endeavour to seek out the other facets of their work but there's a line of balance in overexposure, to be tred around delicately. Hopefully I haven't overstepped my mark. I will also be delving into the work of some of the MA students who didn't make it to the show, which equally deserve a bit of spotlighting.
Elena Crehan – The fuzzy textures of Elena Crehan's gender-ambiguous jumpers instantly grabbed you on a visual level, not least because they were deceptive in their appearance as knitwear. Crehan wanted to experiment with the idea of lace in outerwear and looked at textures such as grass growing through football nets to mimic when experimenting with her intricate lacework, which had fur sprouting out in an unexpectedly sensual way. Rugby shirts and Innuit children in oversized jumpers informed the simple silhouettes, which let the boldly tactile textures do all the talking. Crehan invites wearers and onlookers to touch and feel, which means pictures are always going to be a bit of a poor subsitute. Having seen some of her range of swatches and samples, it's clear Crehan has an arsenal of techniques to call upon, so that hopefully she can build on top of these intriguing surfaces.
Eilish Mackintosh – It's natural that the L'Oreal Prize winner at the Central Saint Martins show gets a fair amount of attention but Eilish Mackintosh confounded audiences initially by presenting not one but two collections. The link between them was blatantly clear as her Araki-esque knotted rope body accoutrements and ceramic cast pieces seen in her first collection progressed into a form of construction in her second, emulating exaggerated stitches in leather sports equipment. It's interesting that she was disciplined enough to develop both collections in a thorough way, and that Louise Wilson felt it necessary to show both as a way of presenting a journey. The second collection with its patent shells stitched through boldly with what appears to be giant shoelaces does have a more resolved coherence to it and innovatively centres the rope material as the focal textile as opposed to a sideline trimming or accessory.
Jaimee McKenna– The sole knitwear collection selected to show belonged to Jaimee McKenna who dipped her entire collection in a saturated shade of Yves Klein blue. The decision to use that one emphatic shade was guided by the intricate pleated knit fabrics, which make up this vaguely ecclesiastical and stately collection. A 1950s Vogue image of an elaborate pleated skirt planted the seeds for McKenna's pleating, which was then stiffened with felting to create the stiff pleats and concertina folds, held by metal bars. The combination of traditional lambswool ribbed fabric and the structural elements create a sense of ease and fluidity. The pieces don't feel weighed down by their complex construction and in that unmistakable hue of blue, there's an elegance that feel fresh.
Marie Ryland - The subtleties of Marie Ryland's collection really needed an in-person viewing to take in the cultural mix, which she has woven from the loom herself. Her quiet collection of tunics were a controlled mix of different cultural strands – Middle Eastern embellishment, religious garments, Norwegian folkloric textiles, glitched-up abstract art – which together feels rich and satisfying to see. Her technical patterns are first created on Photoshop and then woven up, sometimes with experimental accidents that can turn out for the best. Disregarding gender or rigorous silhouette, we have garments that tell a tale through the different types of yarns and the incidental appearance of a pattern or a slight differentiation in texture. It makes for serene viewing.
Sadie Williams – Disco Darleks (coined by Alex Fury of Love Magazine)? Quality Street gowns? Whatever they were, Sadie Williams' metallic flash of brilliance were for me, one of the show's highlights. The inspiration was neither Dr. Who or chocolate related. Instead Williams looked at old fashioned motor bike attire, and in particularly the photographs of Masuyuki Yoshinaga of showy Japanese biker gangs, which informed the crisp graphic quality of her metallic ensembles. The real innovation behind her rigid floor-length dresses, nodding to the straight lines of both Cardin and Courreges, was the fabric development. A jumbo lurex was bonded to a loop-back tracksuit, elimnating the need for lining and giving it its stiff quality, with the graphic shapes created by sandwiching cut pieces of neoprene in between. Heat transfer paper or digitally printed inks were then applied on top for the print element. It's a multi-step and layered process, which looks deceptively simple, part and parcel of the genius behind the collection.
In addition to textiles wizardry, Williams has other skills up her sleeve as she, together with her brother Joe, has also created animations for the likes of HIllier London, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Topshop. Who knows where this or her sublime fabrics will take her next but it's sure to be somewhere sparkly.

The mystical being of the deity as the Ungrund ("unground", the ground without a ground)[1]
Böhme was born on 24 April 1575[4][5] at Alt Seidenberg (now Stary Zawidów, Poland), a village near Görlitz in Upper Lusatia, a territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia. His father, George Wissen, was Lutheran, reasonably wealthy, but a peasant nonetheless. Böhme was the fourth of five children. Böhme's first job was that of a herd boy. He was, however, deemed to be not strong enough for husbandry. When he was 14 years old, he was sent to Seidenberg, as an apprentice to become a shoemaker.[6] His apprenticeship for shoemaking was hard; he lived with a family who were not Christians, which exposed him to the controversies of the time. He regularly prayed and read the Bible as well as works by visionaries such as Paracelsus, Weigel and Schwenckfeld, although he received no formal education.[7] After three years as an apprentice, Böhme left to travel. Although it is unknown just how far he went, he at least made it to Görlitz.[6] In 1592 Böhme returned from his journeyman years. By 1599, Böhme was master of his craft with his own premises in Görlitz. That same year he married Katharina, daughter of Hans Kuntzschmann, a butcher in Görlitz, and together he and Katharina had four sons and two daughters.[7][8]
Böhme's mentor was Abraham Behem who corresponded with Valentin Weigel. Böhme joined the "Conventicle of God's Real Servants" - a parochial study group organized by Martin Möller. Böhme had a number of mystical experiences throughout his youth, culminating in a vision in 1600 as one day he focused his attention onto the exquisite beauty of a beam of sunlight reflected in a pewter dish. He believed this vision revealed to him the spiritual structure of the world, as well as the relationship between God and man, and good and evil. At the time he chose not to speak of this experience openly, preferring instead to continue his work and raise a family.[citation needed]
In 1610 Böhme experienced another inner vision in which he further understood the unity of the cosmos and that he had received a special vocation from God.
The shop in Görlitz, which was sold in 1613, had allowed Böhme to buy a house in 1610 and to finish paying for it in 1618. Having given up shoemaking in 1613, Böhme sold woollen gloves for a while, which caused him to regularly visit Prague to sell his wares.[6]
Aurora and writingsEdit
|There are as many blasphemies in this shoemaker's book as there are lines; it smells of shoemaker's pitch and filthy blacking. May this insufferable stench be far from us. The Arian poison was not so deadly as this shoemaker's poison.
|— Gregorius Richter following the publication of Aurora.[9]
Twelve years after the vision in 1600, Böhme began to write his first book, Die Morgenroete im Aufgang (The rising of Dawn). The book was given the name Aurora by a friend; however, Böhme originally wrote the book for himself and it was never completed.[10] A manuscript copy of the unfinished work was loaned to Karl von Ender, a nobleman, who had copies made and began to circulate them. A copy fell into the hands of Gregorius Richter, the chief pastor of Görlitz, who considered it heretical and threatened Böhme with exile if he continued working on it. As a result, Böhme did not write anything for several years; however, at the insistence of friends who had read Aurora, he started writing again in 1618. In 1619 Böhme wrote "De Tribus Principiis" or "On the Three Principles of Divine Being". It took him two years to finish his second book, which was followed by many other treatises, all of which were copied by hand and circulated only among friends.[11] In 1620 Böhme wrote "The Threefold Life of Man", "Forty Questions on the Soul", "The Incarnation of Jesus Christ", "The Six Theosophical Points", "The Six Mystical Points". In 1621 Böhme wrote "De Signatura Rerum". In 1623 Böhme wrote "On Election to Grace", "On Christ's Testaments", "Mysterium Magnum", "Clavis (Key)". The year 1622 saw Böhme write some short works all of which were subsequently included in his first published book on New Year's Day 1624, under the title Weg zu Christo (The Way to Christ).[8]
The publication caused another scandal and following complaints by the clergy, Böhme was summoned to the Town Council on 26 March 1624. The report of the meeting was that:
"Jacob Boehme, the shoemaker and rabid enthusiast, declares that he has written his book To Eternal Life, but did not cause the same to be printed. A nobleman, Sigismund von Schweinitz, did that. The Council gave him warning to leave the town; otherwise the Prince Elector would be apprised of the facts. He thereupon promised that he would shortly take himself off."[12]
|I must tell you, sir, that yesterday the pharisaical devil was let loose, cursed me and my little book, and condemned the book to the fire. He charged me with shocking vices; with being a scorner of both Church and Sacraments, and with getting drunk daily on brandy, wine, and beer; all of which is untrue; while he himself is a drunken man."
|— Jacob Böhme writing about Gregorius Richter on 2 April 1624.[13]
Böhme left for Dresden on 8 or 9 May 1624, where he stayed with the court physician for two months. In Dresden he was accepted by the nobility and high clergy. His intellect was also recognized by the professors of Dresden, who in a hearing in May 1624, encouraged Böhme to go home to his family in Görlitz.[7] During Böhme's absence his family had suffered during the Thirty Years' War.[7]
Once home, Böhme accepted an invitation to stay with Herr von Schweinitz, who had a country-seat. While there Böhme began to write his last book, the 177 Theosophic Questions. However, he fell terminally ill with a bowel complaint forcing him to travel home on 7 November. Gregorius Richter, Böhme's adversary from Görlitz, had died in August 1624, while Böhme was away. The new clergy, still wary of Böhme, forced him to answer a long list of questions when he wanted to receive the sacrament. He died on 17 November 1624.[14]
In this short period, Böhme produced an enormous amount of writing, including his major works De Signatura Rerum (The Signature of All Things) and Mysterium Magnum. He also developed a following throughout Europe, where his followers were known as Behmenists.
The son of Böhme's chief antagonist, the pastor primarius of Görlitz Gregorius Richter, edited a collection of extracts from his writings, which were afterwards published complete at Amsterdam with the help of Coenraad van Beuningen in the year 1682. Böhme's full works were first printed in 1730.
The chief concern of Böhme's writing was the nature of sin, evil and redemption. Consistent with Lutheran theology, Böhme preached that humanity had fallen from a state of divine grace to a state of sin and suffering, that the forces of evil included fallen angels who had rebelled against God, and that God's goal was to restore the world to a state of grace.
There are some serious departures from accepted Lutheran theology, however, such as his rejection of sola fide, as in this passage from The Way to Christ:
For he that will say, I have a Will, and would willingly do Good, but the earthly Flesh which I carry about me, keepeth me back, so that I cannot; yet I shall be saved by Grace, for the Merits of Christ. I comfort myself with his Merit and Sufferings; who will receive me of mere Grace, without any Merits of my own, and forgive me my Sins. Such a one, I say, is like a Man that knoweth what Food is good for his Health, yet will not eat of it, but eateth Poison instead thereof, from whence Sickness and Death, will certainly follow.[15]
Another place where Böhme may depart from accepted theology (though this was open to question due to his somewhat obscure, oracular style) was in his description of the Fall as a necessary stage in the evolution of the Universe.[16] A difficulty with his theology is the fact that he had a mystical vision, which he reinterpreted and reformulated.[16] According to F. von Ingen, to Böhme, in order to reach God, man has to go through hell first. God exists without time or space, he regenerates himself through eternity. Böhme restates the trinity as truly existing but with a novel interpretation. God, the Father is fire, who gives birth to his son, whom Böhme calls light. The Holy Spirit is the living principle, or the divine life.[17]
However, it is clear that Böhme never claimed that God sees evil as desirable, necessary or as part of divine will to bring forth good. In his Threefold Life, Böhme states: "[I]n the order of nature, an evil thing cannot produce a good thing out of itself, but one evil thing generates another." Böhme did not believe that there is any "divine mandate or metaphysically inherent necessity for evil and its effects in the scheme of thing."[18] Dr. John Pordage, a commentator on Böhme, wrote that Böhme "whensoever he attributes evil to eternal nature considers it in its fallen state, as it became infected by the fall of Lucifer... ."[18] Evil is seen as "the disorder, rebellion, perversion of making spirit nature's servant",[19] which is to say a perversion of initial Divine order.
Böhme's correspondences in "Aurora" of the seven qualities, planets and humoral-elemental associations:
- 1. Dry - Saturn - melancholy, power of death;
- 2. Sweet - Jupiter - sanguine, gentle source of life;
- 3. Bitter - Mars - choleric, destructive source of life;
- 4. Fire - Sun/Moon - night/day; evil/good; sin/virtue; Moon, later = phlegmatic, watery;
- 5. Love - Venus - love of life, spiritual rebirth;
- 6. Sound - Mercury - keen spirit, illumination, expression;
- 7. Corpus - Earth - totality of forces awaiting rebirth.
In "De Tribus Principiis" or "On the Three Principles of Divine Being" Böhme subsumed the seven principles into the Trinity:
- 1. The "dark world" of the Father (Qualities 1-2-3);
- 2. The "light world" of the Holy Spirit (Qualities 5-6-7);
- 3. "This world" of Satan and Christ (Quality 4).
In one interpretation of Böhme's cosmology, it was necessary for humanity to return to God, and for all original unities to undergo differentiation, desire and conflict—as in the rebellion of Satan, the separation of Eve from Adam and their acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil—in order for creation to evolve to a new state of redeemed harmony that would be more perfect than the original state of innocence, allowing God to achieve a new self-awareness by interacting with a creation that was both part of, and distinct from, Himself. Free will becomes the most important gift God gives to humanity, allowing us to seek divine grace as a deliberate choice while still allowing us to remain individuals.
Böhme saw the incarnation of Christ not as a sacrificial offering to cancel out human sins, but as an offering of love for humanity, showing God's willingness to bear the suffering that had been a necessary aspect of creation. He also believed the incarnation of Christ conveyed the message that a new state of harmony is possible. This was somewhat at odds with Lutheran teachings, and his suggestion that God would have been somehow incomplete without the Creation was even more controversial, as was his emphasis on faith and self-awareness rather than strict adherence to dogma or scripture.[citation needed]
Marian viewsEdit
Böhme believed that the Son of God became human through the Virgin Mary. Before the birth of Christ, God recognized himself as a virgin. This virgin is therefore a mirror of God's wisdom and knowledge.[17] Böhme follows Luther in that he views Mary within the context of Christ. Unlike Luther, he does not address himself to dogmatic issues very much, but to the human side of Mary. Like all other women, she was human and therefore subject to sin. Only after God elected her with his grace to become the mother of his son, did she inherit the status of sinlessness.[17] Mary did not move the Word, the Word moved Mary, so Böhme, explaining that all her grace came from Christ. Mary is "blessed among women" but not because of her qualifications, but because of her humility. Mary is an instrument of God; an example of what God can do: It shall not be forgotten in all eternity, that God became human in her.[20]
Böhme, unlike Luther, did not believe that Mary was the Ever Virgin. Her virginity after the birth of Jesus is unrealistic to Böhme. The true salvation is Christ, not Mary. The importance of Mary, a human like every one of us, is that she gave birth to Jesus Christ as a human being. If Mary had not been human, according to Böhme, Christ would be a stranger and not our brother. Christ must grow in us as he did in Mary. She became blessed by accepting Christ. In a reborn Christian, as in Mary, all that is temporal disappears and only the heavenly part remains for all eternity. Böhme's peculiar theological language, involving fire, light and spirit, which permeates his theology and Marian views, does not distract much from the fact that his basic positions are Lutheran.[20]
Böhme's writing shows the influence of Neoplatonist and alchemical[21] writers such as Paracelsus, while remaining firmly within a Christian tradition. He has in turn greatly influenced many anti-authoritarian and mystical movements, such as Radical Pietism[22][23][24][25][26][27] (including the Ephrata Cloister[28] and Society of the Woman in the Wilderness), the Religious Society of Friends, the Philadelphians, the Gichtelians, the Harmony Society, the Zoarite Separatists, Rosicrucianism, Martinism and Christian theosophy. Böhme's disciple and mentor, the Liegnitz physician Balthasar Walther, who had travelled to the Holy Land in search of magical, kabbalistic and alchemical wisdom, also introduced kabbalistic ideas into Böhme's thought.[29] Böhme was also an important source of German Romantic philosophy, influencing Schelling in particular.[30] In Richard Bucke's 1901 treatise Cosmic Consciousness, special attention was given to the profundity of Böhme's spiritual enlightenment, which seemed to reveal to Böhme an ultimate nondifference, or nonduality, between human beings and God. Böhme is also an important influence on the ideas of the English Romantic poet, artist and mystic William Blake.
In addition to the scientific revolution, the 17th century was a time of mystical revolution in Catholicism, Protestantism and Judaism. The Protestant revolution developed from Böhme and some medieval mystics. Böhme became important in intellectual circles in Protestant Europe, following from the publication of his books in England, Holland and Germany in the 1640s and 1650s.[31] Böhme was especially important for the Millenarians and was taken seriously by the Cambridge Platonists and Dutch Collegiants. Henry More was critical of Böhme and claimed he was not a real prophet, and had no exceptional insight into metaphysical questions. Overall, although his writings did not influence political or religious debates in England, his influence can be seen in more esoteric forms such as on alchemical experimentation, metaphysical speculation and spiritual contemplation, as well as utopian literature and the development of neologisms.[32] More, for example, dismissed Opera Posthuma by Spinoza as a return to Behmenism.[33]
While Böhme was famous in Holland, England, France, Denmark and America during the 17th century, he became less influential during the 18th century. A revival, however, occurred late in that century with interest from German Romantics, who considered Böhme a forerunner to the movement. Poets such as John Milton, Ludwig Tieck, Novalis and William Blake found inspiration in Böhme's writings. Coleridge, in his Biographia Literaria, speaks of Böhme with admiration. Böhme was highly thought of by the German philosophers Baader, Schelling and Schopenhauer. Hegel went as far as to say that Böhme was "the first German philosopher."[34] Danish Bishop Hans Lassen Martensen published a book about Böhme.[35]
Several authors have found Boehme's description of the three original Principles and the seven Spirits to be similar to the Law of Three and the Law of Seven described in the works of Boris Mouravieff and George Gurdjieff.[36][37]
On the "Mappa Mundi" that C. S. Lewis included at the beginning of his novel The Pilgrim's Regress, a region in the far South (the area that, in the novel, symbolizes excessive emotionalism and moral and intellectual dissolution) is identified as "Behmenheim". In his preface to the third edition of the book, Lewis said that this region "is named, unfairly, after Jakob Boehme or Behmen". Like many of the other regions on the map, however, Behmenheim does not figure in the plot of the novel itself.
The epigraph of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian: An Evening Redness in the West contains a selection from Böhme, giving readers an insight to major themes of the novel.
Jorge Luis Borges's short story "The Secret Miracle" mentions Jakob Boehme very briefly: "...and of an inquiry into the indirect Jewish sources of Jakob Boehme..."
Boehme is mentioned multiple times throughout Philip K. Dick's Valis Trilogy.
In Elizabeth Gilbert's novel The Signature of All Things (same title as Böhme's book), one of the characters, a botanical illustrator, is very influenced by the writings of Böhme.
