NATURAL HEALING: The Chakra SystemMalaika Durand-Kakudji - Saturday, September 29th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
In the (Western) system of Reiki, we use what we refer to as the chakra system. Specifically, it is a system of energy gateways or vortexes which is located on the etheric body of the individual. The literal translation of the word "chakra" from Sanskrit is "wheel". And if you guessed that the chakras resemble wheels or discs, then you would be right. The seven major chakras that we will concern ourselves with, are placed horizontally along the front (and corresponding back end) of your body. They are each responsible for a different spiritual, emotional, and physical aspect of your life. Think of them as "adaptors" of the Energy which is all around us, with which we are in constant exchange. The job of the Chakras, through various facets, is integration of the parts of our being into the whole.
As we move through life, we will activate or inhibit aspects of different chakras through experiences, emotions, attitudes which may or may not result in blockage of the respective chakras. What does this mean? Our chakras are sensitive to our experiences as humans in the world and are affected by, and in turn affect, our life whether we are aware of them or not. Because each chakra is affiliated with different emotional, spiritual, psychological aptitudes which are then funneled into physical reality, understanding our chakras gives us an awareness of our life as whole beings.
Just like any physical part of our body which would need loving care and maintenance, our chakras need our mindfulness. When a particular chakra is blocked, we may experience frustration or lack of energy in the area of life which it affects. So, a very quick breakdown of each chakra and its function will follow in order to acquaint you with its basic properties.
Seventh /Crown Chakra (color: violet)-
Located on the top of the head. Provides a sense of connection to the Creator. When not functioning optimally may experience grief, confusion about life.
Sixth/Brow or "Third Eye" Chakra (color: indigo)-
Located in between the eyes. Responsible for intuition, seeing Divine perfection in all things. Blockage may result in an imbalance in state of mind.
Fifth/Throat Chakra (color: blue)-
Located at base of throat. Rules our ability to express our truth through spoken word. Blockage results in lack of ability to verbalize our reality.
Fourth/Heart Chakra (color: green)-
Located near physical heart. Center of heart/soul consciousness. Represents compassion, love in action. Blockage may indicate suppressed emotional trauma.
Third /Solar Plexus Chakra (color: yellow)-
Located at diaphragm. This is the seat of our personal power. Goal manifestation is channeled here. Blockage results in lack of direction, boundaries.
Second/Sacral Chakra (color: orange)-
Located below navel. Center of creativity .Also represents procreation. Blockage may feel/look like a lack of adventure or curiosity.
First/Root Chakra (color: red)-
Located in area of the tailbone. Responsible for grounding us in our physical experiences. Blockage may manifest either as rigidity or lack of realism.
The simplest forms of chakra tuning are energy healing such as Reiki; meditation , and the practice of yoga. These ancient modalities are designed to align the energy in our physical bodies to our subtle energetic fields and, ultimately to Universal energy which flows through and around all of creation. The goal and purpose of consistent practice is to integrate our various aspects into a harmonious whole. In this state, balance exists and we are not just disease-free, but healthy.
One generic exercise which helps to balance chakra energy is flooding yourself with each of the colors associated with the chakras. So, going through the list above you would begin with red, then orange…and so on till you get to violet. You could picture yourself moving from room to room where everything in each room is made of one of the colors. You could also picture yourself on a ladder and as you step on each rung, the color floods you. Or you could sit quietly and imagine each color infusing you as you breathe deeply. Make sure you visualize every part of yourself becoming this color.
This article's goal was to outline chakra functioning on a very basic level. If it has whet your appetite, one way which we could develop and build on this theme is to give a more in-depth treatment of each chakra along with more specific exercises to address various issues affiliated with the respective chakra. Let me know in the comments whether such a series of articles will be of service to you. I am looking forward to your feedback!

@Liz4jesus; all you are doing is quoting scripture. Nothing of substance to bring englightenment as to your own history as a black person. We need to know who we are as a people and stop accepting without questioning the book which kings james wrote. The slave masters have done a number on own minds and it is hard to be deivered from that mental slavery. Stop beiieving in these cinderella stories that do not exist. I can't be like you because I do not think like you. We are all born free but we let religion enslave us.
@Out of the South
I quote Scriptures with extensions to let you know what they mean pertaining to Life, if at all you desire to have Life in you.
What is enlightenment to you, if not the boost to thrive in the Life of Love, which you can only receive from God, your Creator, by your faith or through His medium?
Well just don't read what I write, when you see it on the board; I have said it already–your are enslaved through the production of your carnal, I free and way off in the process of mind renewal, that is why you have no understanding of the words i write.
So just continue to embrace the counsel of human beings like yourself, I want none of it, and I am not responsible to give account on your behalf when that days comes.
By the way I should have told you that I know exactly who I am. And I think it is quite foolish for people to go searching for who they are in the year 2012.
I don't know about you, but my concern is about Life, and the only Person who givee me assurance of Life in Jesus Christ, by my faith. I have freedom in Jesus Christ, what more do I have to search for–which I will never find to be better than what I have and who I am today?
Lmao at all the naruto comments and I thought I was going to be original and make a quip about that lol.
Anyway on a serious note this, as another commenter said, is pretty much mysticism, although it has a hint of truth to it.
In reality this is just a visual aid to meditation – meditation in turn being an abstraction of complex mental processes that helps the mind and body to function properly. It's just unfortunate that these techniques were developed before we discovered the various processes that affect the body on a chemical level. Simple substances that react to various thought patterns ( a very complex system that would take days to explain to anyone without prior knowledge) can affect, quite profoundly, our bodily functions especially in the cerebral and thus cognitive aspects.
People who practise meditation in its various forms (intense prayer associated with judeo-christian and islamic religions being one of them) are usually more focused, clear minded, healthier etc. However because of ignorance and misinformation they attribute it to some higher power.
The fact is that I have employed some of these techniques but without attributing any kind of mystical or spiritual property to it and simply accepting it as the scientific fact of being in control of my mind and body. I have experienced the results, the same results that people with some kind of religious or spiritual/mystical conviction think is the work of some unseen force or higher power.
You know what? All this religious talk can do nothing for us. I used to believe just like you, Lizavier4Jesus, until I read more about African history and learned that the entire bible is just a story book that some Europeans put together to deceive us as an African people so that we would never know our true and original history. Our history, and that includes our spirituality, has been written in stone in the pyramids in Egypt and has been copied by the Europeans, who twisted the story and gave us their bible, which we never questioned but only accepted as "the holy word of god." We have been such a gullible people, just as we were taught that Christopher Columbus discovered the "new" world. These Europeans have stolen from us what we do not even know of because we have accepted what they have told us to be true. We have never questioned the authenticity of the bible because we were told not to do so. Why do we have a mind? Are we not all free thinkers? That's what religion does to us. It keeps us in a box. It locks up our minds so that we can't read books apart from the bible.
We as a people have to do our own research and stop depending on these Europeans because they will never tell us who we really are. They know of our greatness but it is sad that we don't know, and don't even want to know. Billy Graham, and all these other preachers are just continuing their legacy and that is to control our minds through religion. We give them our hard-earned money and we say that we are giving to God. If God, as the bible says, is a spirit, tell me, why does he need money? These evangelists live very big. They live in mansions with many rooms, drive the most expensive cars and a lot of them have their own jets. Stop wasting your money and help your loved-ones instead.
Do you realise the various religions in the world? If there is one God, as many believe, why is it that there are so many religions and no one gets along? My friends, religion has been used to confuse us and have us divided, especially us, as an African people.
We have always been a spiritual people but Christianity was used to enslave our forefathers and to keep us worshipping a white Jesus, who really never existed as far as history is concerned. This figure was made up at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. Constantine was the one behind this. Study History, my people, and not a white man's book that will not, and cannot deliver us as people.
We were also told that the Jews are God's chosen people but did we know that they were involved in slavery as well?
It is high time that we wake up and stop accepting things at face value. The truth about the Europeans and who they really are is available and can be read by one of the authors named Michael Bradley. The book is called The Iceman's Inheritance. Another author, Walter Williams, wrote the book, "The Historical Origin of Christianity." We don't need religion. What we need is emancipation from mental slavery.
The truth offends so I know a lot of people will be mad at what I have written. Guess what. It is time that the truth be made known.
People find it hard to accept truth when it is inconvenient. If someone had won the lottery and you told that to them they would find no problem, because it is convenient to them. However if some loved one were to unfortunately perish in some accident they would find that hard to believe and would have to have it proven to them.
This is the ideology upon which religion is based. This is why there are parts in the bible specifically mandating the indoctrinating of children at a young age and why you have christians beating their children to go church or to stop from falling asleep when the preacher starts talking about hell for the 100th time. They need children to be comfortable with the various key concepts of religion (higher powers, conviction, obligations, guilt etc) from an early age so that when they get older it's harder to let go. This is why you will find people who will defend their religion to the death even if they have no rational concept of what it really is about.
It's a good thing that as a child among the bible stories and other religious stuff I found books on history, dinosaurs, basic biology, earth sciences, mechanics etc so that I had a good enough base to rationalize which made more sense.
@out of the South
I could write 10 times the amount you have written above to tell you why I know you have never "believed" like me–but I will simple say it again: That you have never in a day of your existence on this earth "believed like me".
All you have done above is to speak about the existence of your flesh–the part of you that only human beings like yourself can help you to understand–still for all they make a lot of mistakes in doing so.
You continue to exist with the untrained state of your mind, which prompts you to think and function like the mass of natural people, but of course, for you are one of them.
Unfortunately, according to the Word of God: "The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned". And that can be a tragic outcome if you people will not enter the process of regeneration by your faith.
How could you have done all the research that you have mentioned above if they did not come from someone else–the same human wisdom and philosophy of another person or other people of flesh and bones like yourself?
Were you there when those information were supposed to be approved and piled up, to go into circulation; that you can declare they are true–beyond a reasonable doubt? Of course not!
But you have allowed their brainwashing and mind-crashing counsel, the reason you never entered into Life with God Almighty by your faith and through God's Person of Love–Jesus Christ–how can you claim to have "believed like me"?
Well I have no human convictions, because God Almighty is of Spirit and Truth, and it is by Holy Spirit from my conscience that I receive the "facts of Life"–believe it or not!
The apostle Paul is my primary conviction, that Holy Spirit alone can teach a human being, because of their faith. Paul tells us that no one taught Him except Holy Spirit–he has proved that truth in the letters to the different churhes of the Gentiles–whom God called him to teach and preach the Gospel of Truth to them.
God continues to appoint human beings who are humble, trustful, and obedient in their ways to bring conviction to people like me, they have no choice but to confirm to me and others like me, because God wills them to do so. Jesus told us: You will know them by their words, or by their fruits. He blesses us with discernment to do so.
people i giving ninja lessons the first one will be on october 12th on bayfront we will be trying to learn to mold chakra and do a resengan i suspect some of u out there have a sharingan so we go work on that to we will try summoning some animals ok so save up ur chakra till then ok people we will create our own little konoha in dominica u check and we will inherit our will of fire hopefully the stronest will be the hokage u check
It was Billy Graham who said that Jesus used
"physical illustrations" to reveal "Spiritual Truths". And that is factual, for there are loads of them in the Holy Bible.
Of course, not many of us will understand this statement idea of Billy Graham, unless we are the spiritually sensitive persons. You may now be asking me what is my point?
My point is that I see the same "truth" in those discussions of "natural healing" from the first one to this one written above–especially that I believe that the shape or state of the mind is the "vital importance or theme" throughout those discussions. For without that healthy frame of mind, Life is just an illusion, for we are indeed dead as s sleeping bat, both "spiritually" and "physically".
And so, in us human beings, the Mind exist in one of two states or frame–it is either the Mind is carnal, being an enemy of our God of Life.
That mind in its carnal condition is the reason we are sinful, we are always sick and just waiting to be consumed, by those ailments, in our physical body. We are plagued with all the toil and strife, snares, discord, and disdain, of this world, because of the carnal state of our mind.
The other state of mind is the that which is in its renewal process, gradually being trained and disciplined to respond to the direction of our Living God, by the power of gift of Holy Spirit, when God is connected to us, because of our faith in Him, and the ability of His humble servants.
The renewal of the mind, brings gradual transformation of the physical body, until it has reached what I would call the state of equilibrium–which is also the kind of balance that Dr. John spoke about last week.
Perhaps the writers of these messages do not want to go into the concrete details of Life in the Spirit, which was the theme in Jesus' discussions–I would understand their reasons not to do so.
But it is clear to me: that those messages reveal the same concept in the Bible of Jesus using
"physical illustrations" to speak or reveal "spiritual truth"– even if the messages are entitled "natural healing"–by the different modes or practices.
And for sure, as a person who is spiritually sensitive, I understand that "Life" is perfect–but don't anyone tell me that is not so, it is your attitude and conduct that causes all the state of imperfection, which you are experiencing through your days in this world. You choose by your ability of "free will" from God; He will not force His good, acceptable, and perfect will, on you.
However, it is the perfect form of Life which brings the "physical body" to exist with
"wholeness and completion" the state where the mind is in "perfect harmony" with
"conscience" where our "God of Life" lives in us, when He is connected to us by the power of Holy Spirit.
And so this "mind" directs the physical body to gradually cling to "Life" the "perfect balance which Dr. John spoke about in her message of last week. I will finish this off in my next input.
"Just like any part of our physical body which would need loving care and maintenance, our chakras needs mindfulness".
There it is again! The word is formed from its founder, and so we have "Mindfulness" And so, it has to be that without the healthy frame of Mind we cannot have the positive effects of Chakras; and the positive effects of chakras is the fulfilment of our Spiritual goal or achieves–the goal or achieves which bring the "balsnce" of Life and good health to our physical body.
The suggestion that Chakras is effective through the state of "mindfulness", is mentioned before the writer introduces the seven functions of Chakras, itself. You must be asking what am I getting at? Well here it is!
It is not a coincident that I discovered, the day before this news article above, was printed, that a sermon, speaking about the "perfection and completeness", is also based on "seven" states or conditions, that mankind must arrive at in order to claim Life in Jesus Christ–otherwise that claim is a no, no!
But not only that those seven conditions of "perfection and completeness" are parallel to a few of the seven functions of chakras, or is mentioned in other messages here, on the subject of "Natural Healing, and the maintenance of good health in the physical body and Life, itself, in us"
Now, I do want to be so long, so I will have to do another input to finalized my contribution and feedback to this very interesting article above.
"When a particular Chakra is blocked we may experience frustration or lack of energy in the area of Life, which it affects".
I am glad to read that the writer continues to refer to Life; of course I love to write the word with a capital "L", Billy Graham also confirmed that habit of mine, when at one of his preachings he declared: Life with a capital "L!" I exploded with an exclamation of "Amen" Anyway Chakras, and its functions. is the subject here!
My intention is to tell you about the seven conditions of "Perfection and Completion" in Life with Jesus Christ, which is kind of parallel to the functions of Chakras, and the other modes of "natural healing", which have been discussed in the past weeks. I have no doubt about that.
The difference is that we achieve those conditions by faith, whereas there is some kind of physical medium to help the effect of "natural healing" in the physical body. I still believe that faith is the basic effect either way.
But before I show you the comparisons, let me tell you that "perfection and completeness" in Jesus Christ reveals the condition in those who have accepted that "great healing" by their faith–and that healing condition in man is the products (like the Structure and Fruit of Life) which is satisfactory and final, permanent relationship between God and His chosen people. Of course, that insight is according to the source of my discovery, a few days ago–which spiritual wisdom and understanding easily clarified for me.
So what are the comparisons? First of all there is the condition of "Righteousness" in Jesus Christ, compared to the function which demands connection to the Creator in Chakras. Well our Creator is the Righteous God in Jesus Christ, is He not?
Secondly there is condition of "Peace and Joy" in Jesus Christ. If not so much of Joy, because so many of us have yet to know that condition, but the function of "Peace" has been referred to as the basis of "natural healing" in whatever form that healing is fulfilled.
Thirdly there is the condition of "Spiritual Light" in Jesus Christ, which is the clean or illuminating state of the mind, in harmony with Holy Spirit. The mind, now in Spiritual harmony or balance to respond to the control of Holy Spirit, therefore, is able to channel the energy of Life to the sleeping or dead soul, prompting its awakening to Live, feeding on the food of the Spirit–the words of Truth, which is the Bread of Life in Jesus Christ.
The apostle John tells us about Jesus Christ: In Him there was Life and the Life was the Light of men. John 1: 4
The condition of Spiritual Light in Jesus Christ, pertaining to what it does to the physical body with a dead soul, is compared to the functions of Chakras, in number 6, 5, and 4 as defined above.
Some of us ought to have learned about the power of words–both negative and positive–we read in Chakras 5 the ability of expression, speaking the words of "truth"
Well God has warned us that we do not have to climb mountains, neither do we have to go deep under, neither do we go to the farthest north or the south, but the Word of Life is in our mouth–so is the word of death.
Nonetheless we will need a "sound mind"–the mind which is in the process of training and discipline to conduct Life–which is of the Spirit.
For as human beings, we all entered this world with a carnal mind, as the offspring of Adam and Eve–who allowed God's enemy to interfere as he defiled the "perfection and completeness" of God in them. That is the reason for the renewal. And so I will leave at that, again to avoid a lengthy contribution.
I would like this discussion on Chakras to continue, because of it nature, which so easily reveals the concept of "bonding" of the physical and the spritual bodies, through the effect of a sound mind–which is factual, of course.
As human beings, the majority of us, unfortunately, so many of us who have claimed to be Christians, have yet to understand the reason we claimed Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
For example my Bible study class, including my Pastor, insisted on claiming themselves to be sinners, in the presence of our Holy God–because they are human beings, and not thinking of themselves as a Church–who represents the Spiritual Body of Jesus Christ–His perfect Bride to be–and He is the head. How can a group of sinful people reprent the Body of Jesus Christ, who is perfect?
What in heaven's name does it mean to "repent" if I should continue to accept the condemnation of my enemy and the enemy of God Almighty, and not the redemption in Jesus Christ, which He suffered and died to receive for my sake? Good grief!
So please bring on the discussion of the seven functions of Chakra one by one. Perhaps it will cause us people, who claim to believe in God, to wake up and smell the actual coffee brewing in our kitchen. For where there is Life, God must be present! We are yet to understand this "Truth"
Sometimes I'm bewildered by some of the things you
say and believe.I'm referring to your so called "seven" states or conditions, that mankind must arrive at in order to claim Life in Jesus Christ–otherwise that claim is a no, no!. You mentioned seven conditions, I'm curious, would like to see a list of those seven conditions.
At least I know you read some of my message, here. But why the bewilderment, nuh? You must have seen my comments time and again, what makes you think i would write those things, so very often, without the spiritual conviction–which is personal fulfillment in my Life?
I have already written this Scripture from the Bible, twice here, but the problem with everyone is the same–concerning their state of mind–so I will write it out for you as well: Here it is!
"For the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them; because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 1st. Corinthians 2: 14-15
That Scripture about should explain the reason for your state of "bewilderment" not only you either, it happens in those who wiil not apply faith in God, but faith is what brings them Life–and so they continue to be a natural man.
You are right, I did not least the Seven "conditions of perfection and completeness" in Life through Jesus Christ–I need to watch the length of my post.
So since you claim to be curious here they are, and also, there is a whole load of scriptures to support them; but then again my input would be much too long. So believe or not!
(1) Righteousness. You ought to know how this happens in us, that is why I said above, otherwise our existence is of this world, and that is a no, no for us! Hehehehehehehe!
(2) Peace How can you deny that truth, unless you have never felt its ecstasy? Well I have! And yes! There are Scriptures to back it up too.
(3) Spiritual Light Well the apostle John tells us about Jesus Christ, first and foremost in his Gospel: In Him there was Life and the Life was the Light of men. John 14: 4
Before that reading Jesus tells His disciples: You are the "Light" of the world—Let your Light so shine before men that they may see your good works and to give the glory to your Father in Heaven Matthew 5: 13-16. I could go on and on!
(4) Access to God. My extension for this one is that we attain this condition by our faith in the Spiritual Blood of Jesus Christ, which is the mercy and compassion of His Love. "Love is of God and all of those who love is "born" of God and knows God. 1st John 4: 7
(5) Joy Of course this condition is not easy to experience, because it so easy for us to allow our human senses to overcome the production of God's blessings of Joy in our minds. However some of us can experience that condition, having completely surrendered to Holy Spirit in our conscience–He has to let us know His presence in us, someway and somehow, we simply need the channel of faith by which we accept that "Truth".
(6) Hope That is the assurance in us that we are walking the journey of "perfection and completeness in Jesus Christ–Life is the Spirit. Those who reject that Living Hope of Jesus Christ, they are the fools, walking a journey through spiritual darkness and blindness, as so, their destiny is the treacherous pit, which has prepared for them, by we all know who.
(7) Eternal Rest Well? How can we achieve the first six conditions without ending up with this final one–for according to apostle Paul, Eternal Rest is the reason we are running the race of Life. Yeah! "Etenal Rest" represents the "perfection and completeness" of Life–the Life that is of God's Love through Jesus Christ.
Come to Me, all of you who labor and is carrying heavy loads and I will give you rest! Says Jesus Christ to us, who chooses Life in Him. I say Amen! Mathew 11: 28
That a reference is from the Bible does NOT make it a fact. Simply because you believe something does not make it immutably so. Of course, this chakra stuff is just as much a fantasy as most of the Bible – yet people still believe in it. As P.T.. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute.
Would that be the same Barnum that came up with the concept of the Barnum effect? That people will attribute vague descriptions to their specific conditions making them believe that it was directed at them. This is one of the foundations of religion. Taking vague aspects of human nature to lure people into believing that they are each special in their own way.
@Rich Waugh
It is not possible to speak spiritual things for you people to understand, due to the fact that you guys were born without the Spirit of God, meaning separated from His, and His Ways of Life in Love. You exist with a mind that not trained and disciplined to respond to God's control.
That is the reason the Word of God says: "The natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; he cannot know them because they spiritual discerned 1st. Corinthians 2: 14
Consider your state of mind, so you can decide for yourself if that statement above in true, or false about your attitude and conducts.
Just to let you know that by your faith and through the state of your mind that can receive God's control from your conscience, Life in you can become perfect and complete–believe it or not.
Why do you always have to use religious beliefs or concepts to validate things.The Universal Principle which governs and operates this Universe does not need from us religious beliefs and concepts to recognize it's operation, period. You said somethings regarding the mind of Man quote "And so, in us human beings, the Mind exist in one of two states or frame–it is either the Mind is carnal, being an enemy of our God of Life" this shows your lack of understanding of the basic functions of the Human being which is vital.I use the word vital yes, because this thing called the mind is of great importance to us as Humans and most of us have no clue how it operates and function and it is the thing that can free us or keep us in bondage and make us sick or healthy. I would advise you to go get a true understanding as to how the mind operates and stop passing your religious beliefs as the truth regarding such matter.
Gary you have done this time and time again, confirming or speaking the wisdom of my mind, even if your true intention was to break me down–but you, of all persons can never do that.
Read your own words again and you will discover that you described the "mind" with two different states just as I said above, which of course, you did not understand–or you pretended not to understand, I do not care.
I will rewrite some of what you wrote above just slightly differently, but with the same meaning: (1) "The mind, depending on its state can make you "sick" or it can make you "healthy". (2) The mind, depending on it state can make you "free" or it can make you feel in "bondage".
Well is that not what I mean when I said the mind in human beings can exist in two states. Yes! The mind in its carnal state keeps you in bondage against the freedom of Life. Yes! The mind in its carnal state can make you "sick" and despaired even to the point of thinking suicide; because the mind in its carnal state can only accept the seed of the human senses, and most of those seeds are the seed of futility or death.
But the mind that is in training and discipline to respond to the things of Life–the commands of Love, from the God of Love, keeps us with sense of freedom; this mind keeps us in the sense of healthiness and the peacefulness of Life. So what is your point of objecting to what i wrote?
Okay, you claim not to know how the mind works–you even add "most of us". Well not me! You will notice that I do not write anything about God, if I do not mention the mind, because it is by the channel of the mind that God takes control in us from conscience–I am a person who lives by the control of God–He is not about religion.
And so, I suggest that you stop talking your foolishness about religion, when respond to what I write, or don't respond at all.
Anyway the Word of God said that the carnal mind is an enemy of God, that is the reason the man who continues in sole control of that state of mind is also a natural man, it is said that man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him.
So God is well aware of your state of mind and your nature of thoughts, word, and deed as natural man. He has no delight in your works, be sure of that. For one of those days you will have to give an account to Him–don't say you did not know.
This, I'm afraid, is mystical nonsense. Chakras? Seriously? Show me a chakra under laboratory conditions and then we can talk–you know, since that's how actual biological science is done. Unfortunately, the uneducated mystical-minded persons who like vague impressive-sounding answers from antiquity over less comforting scientific facts from today will disagree with me–but that's to their own detriment.
How foolish and ignorant can you be to believe that for something to exist it must be seen on under microscope pity you with that kind of mind set, wallow in your ignorance and be proud of it. I'm sure that you use a cell phone, do you know how a cell Phone operates, can you see the radio waves under a microscope.Do you know the most powerful forces are unseen and what we see is the manifestation, the unseen things are the cause.Stop being proud of your ignorance masquerading as a so called three thinker which you not.
The whole concept of 'seeing is believe' is an unfortunate over-abstraction of the concept of physical, empirical observation and perception, one of the facets upon which laboratory science is based.
Where as we cannot see electromagnetic waves, we can perceive them through the instruments that are affected by them, the cell phone being one of them. They are testable and verifiable.
The unseen forces which mystical beliefs propose however cannot be verified or tested, and in the cases where they claim to be, there are already rational scientific explanations for them. The mind being one of the most common culprits.
It is amazing how we doubt that most of our irrational beliefs are by-products of our incredible cognitive abilities, yet we can so easily attribute them to some unseen force or higher power that can be neither tested nor proven.
Lizavier4Jesus October 1, 2012
Once again you have failed to understand the concept of these messages, not realizing that they do not belong in the works of Science and its Laboratory to reveal the "Truth" in them. Your mind simply have to "accept" or "reject" this concept of healing, of couse you have chosen the latter.
And do not forget, as well, that the "Truth of Life and the functions of the physically body is yet to be "completely" proven by science and its laboratory.
Even in this news article, you should have read that the positive effects of Chakras will depend on the state of the Mind–Mindfulness, meaning awareness, alertness, tactfulness, willingness, and of course, acceptance or conception.
However, we cannot speak of the Mind if we do not touch on the functions of the Spirit; because the Mind, and it functions is for the sake of Life, and Life belong under control of the Spirit–that is why we are told that the Mind is the Battlefield, –like the war ground– of Life.
And so how do you work with the functions of the Mind at the "laboratory of science" to discover or to prove the "truth" and nothing but the
"truth" of Life? But those three Titles take the roots of the messages of "natural healing" They are "Mind", "Spirit", and "Body".
The "Mind" in its perfect mode is able to respond to the control of "Spirit" from conscience. You will notice that the first function of Chakras in the above article demands the connection to the Creator, who is the Divine and Living God.
Compare my input above pertaining to "perfection and completeness" in Jesus Christ, which we achieve by faith. And the Word of God teaches us that we ought to live by faith and not by the sole control of our human senses.
Therefore, the feedings to the body through the channel of a "sound and healthy mind" meaning a mind that is not carnal, is the cause
"regeneration" of the body to exist in "perfection and completeness"–the Life in Love, which is of God Almighty, the Creator and Giver of Life to us, human beings.
The theme of the message in the article above reveals the same concept of Life, in that it does not leave out the work of the Creator, who is the Alpha and the Omega of Life and its "perfections".
science has long been perceived as mysticism or magick by the ancients. today we can use science to confirm or deny up to a point. remember, we are limited in knowledge of the ancients and still learning more. we are also limited by our 5 senses that only tell us what our physical world is like. anything beyond that is non existent to us. keep an open mind though. just like you, i have no reason to believe this but still open to further enlightenment.

French people are, unquestionably, the snootiest race on the planet, right? Always were, always will be?
Wrong! A new century has ushered in a whole nouveau attitude! Last week I zipped from one end of Paree to the other in my forest-green Moncler puffy coat (it was bloody freezing) and I can honestly tell you that, shockingly, delightfully, I saw no signs of the terrifying hauteur I encountered on my last visit, some 10 years ago.
Instead of that legendary disdain, I encountered nothing but smiles and bonjours. Other than the pinched salesman who upbraided me for attempting to exit the gift shop at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs through the stockroom—his reproach translates roughly as follows: "Where do you think you are wandering, you crazy little person?"—everyone I encountered was tres gentil. (He probably thought I was a malevolent leprechaun, what with the green Moncler and all.)
While this is unarguably a seismic shift in the national character, it was, for moi, very much upstaged and eclipsed by another and far more shocking discovery. Hang onto your bound copies of National Geographic! Here comes a total Margaret Mead moment. I'm talking about a whole new tribe, a whole new GENDER!
First let's consider the runway trends: For fall 2011 I saw wide-legged gauchos, floaty floor-trailing cardigans, mid-thigh Janet Reno jackets, Patti Smith-inspired locks … and these fashions were for the men! A willowy and unrelenting androgyny ruled the day at the fall men's collections for Dior, Thom Browne, Ann Demeulemeester, Comme Des Garcons, and just about everywhere else. The look? The boy/girl beauty of Tilda Swinton.
And, hang on to your chromosomes, there's more. This new ethereal gender-bending style—let's call these guys the Tildas—is not just a men-in-skirts runway thing. Au contraire! Everywhere I leprechaun'd about, there were hordes of Tildas in Miss Marple capes with Givenchy handbags welded to the crooks of their arms. On the Rive Gauche I clocked befurred exquisites battling the cold in sauvage cave-woman furs. (Guys! Just take your mum's old silver fox and chop off the sleeves, whoosh it around your shoulders and, voila, you're a Tilda!) At Colette, the trendiest store in Paris, I saw Tildas wearing Rick Owens leathers with Grace Jones-esque hoods, fish-tailed skirts, and bizarre and beautiful ladies' platform boots.
The sheer number of these gender-bending poseurs had me groping for a collective noun, as in a murder of crows. Inventing collective nouns is one of my favorite things to do and I pride myself on having come up with a few doozies: a tassel of gays, a bombast of hedgefunders, a fragrance sensitivity of lesbians, and now, how about … an enchantment of Tildas?
What is prompting this haunting and decorative phenomenon? Here's my theory:
The global popular culture remains in the grip of an escalating porno-chic where aggressively masculine G.I.-Joes-on-steroids chase boob-enhanced blond bimbos who resemble blow-up dolls. "Hotness" is the only currency. As a result, male and female archetypes become ever more cartoony and polarized, much to the horror of Dame Fashion. She prefers chicness to hotness. Always has.
In order to maintain its elitist cred—to mention nothing of justifying those high prices—Fashion has always distanced itself from the cheesy shenanigans of the broader culture. Now, as she confronts the extreme Jersey Shore-ification of our world, Dame Fashion has been forced to rummage deep into the bowels of her Birkin. Here she has found a strange and subtle interpretation of gender, something along the lines of what you might find in the work of art/fashion photographer-du-jour Collier Schorr. It's also evident in women's fashion: Those cadaverously thin Eastern European gals who dominate the high-fashion runways—imagine a 9-year-old girl who just happens to be 6 feet tall—are every bit as subtly gender-elusive as the Tildas.
Back to me in my green: As I scampered through this new and improved City of Light, I was delighted to note the ease with which the Parisians embraced the Tildas. These guy/gals walk freely though the streets of Paris without so much as a quelle horreur! or a cat-call. I would like to think that it's all part of that new kinder, friendlier, gentler French sensibility, but the answer may be simpler. The average French citoyen may simply not have realized that madamoiselle is actually monsieur.

Avery Warley plays for USA Basketball
Liberty University redshirt senior center Avery Warley had a dream come true when she was selected to the 2011 USA Basketball Pan American Games Team, which competed Oct. 21-25 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Three Paragraphs
As I noted in the last post, I've been reading Alejo Carpentier's novel Siglo de las luces ("age of enlightenment"), translated into English by John Sturrock as Explosion in a Cathedral, and it's excited me more than anything I've read at least since Tainaron by Leena Krohn. I can't resist sharing a few paragraphs from a seven-page scene that uses eloquent description of nature to both indicate character development and create symbolic resonance. Excerpted from the narrative, neither of those particular qualities will be apparent, but perhaps you can appreciate the rhythm of the language* and the vivid imagery:
Going from surprise to surprise, Esteban discovered a plurality of beaches, where the sea, three centuries after the Discovery, was beginning to deposit its first pieces of polished glass -- glass invented in Europe and strange to America; glass from bottles, from flasks, from demijohns, in shapes hitherto unknown on the New Continent; green glass, with opacities and bubbles; delicate glass, destined for embryonic cathedrals, whose hagiography had been effaced by the water; glass fallen from ships or saved from shipwrecks, polished by the waves with the skill of a turner or a goldsmith till the light was restored to its extenuated colours, and cast up as a mysterious novelty on this ocean shore.*I don't have a copy of the original Spanish text, so I can't say how close the translation is. The text as an English text is a marvel, and John Sturrock deserves accolades for that at the very least.
Carried into a world of symbiosis, standing up to his neck in pools whose water was kept perpetually foaming by cascading waves, and was broken, torn, shattered, by the hungry bite of jagged rocks, Esteban marvelled to realize how the language of these islands had made use of agglutination, verbal amalgams and metaphors to convey the formal ambiguity of things which participated in several essences at once. Just as certain trees were called "acacia-bracelets", "pineapple-porcelain", "wood-rib", "ten o'clock broom", "cousin clover", "pitcher-pine-kernel", "tisane-cloud", and "iguana-stick", many marine creatures had received names which established verbal equivocations in order to describe them accurately. Thus a fantastic bestiary had arisen of dog-fish, oxen-fish, tiger-fish, snorers, blowers, flying fish; of striped, tattooed and tawny fish, fish with their mouths on top of their heads, or their gills in the middle of their stomachs; white-bellies, swordfish and mackerel; a fish which bit off testicles -- cases had been known -- another that was herbivorous; the red-speckled sand-eel; a fish which became poisonous after eating manchineel apples -- not forgetting the vieja-fish, the captain-fish, with its gleaming throat of golden scales; or the woman-fish -- the mysterious and elusive manatees, glimpsed in the mouths of rivers where the salt water mingled with the fresh, with their feminine profiles and their siren's breasts, playing joyful nuptial pranks on one another in their watery meadows.
Sometimes a great silence foreshadowing an Event would fall over the water, and then some enormous, belated, obsolete fish would appear, a fish from another epoch, its face placed at the extreme end of its massive body, living in a perpetual fear at its own slowness, its hide covered with vegetation and parasites like an uncareened hull. The huge back emerged amidst a swirl of remoras, with the solemnity of a raised galleon, as this patriarch of the depths, this Leviathan, ejecting sea-foam, emerged onto the light of day, for what might perhaps be only the second time since the astrolabe was brough into these seas. The monster opened its pachyderm's eyes, and, discovering a battered sardine-boat sailing nearby, submerged once more, anxious and afraid, down towards the solitude of the depths, to await some other century before it returned again to a world full of perils.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking maximum political gain from the string of controversies swirling around the White House, Republicans are on the attack against Democratic lawmakers who accepted donations from the union that represents Internal Revenue Service employees.
But here's the rub: About a dozen current and former Republican lawmakers took the same cash.
Among them is Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, a GOP establishment favorite running to claim a Democratic-held Senate seat next year in West Virginia. Capito took $2,000 from the union last September, Federal Election Commission records show.
On Facebook and search engine StumbleUpon, House Republicans are running paid ads blasting Democrats for feigning "faux outrage" over the IRS scandal, in which the agency apologized for unfairly targeting tea party groups, while furtively holding on to donations from the agency. They're calling on Democrats to give the cash back.
"Scandal widens," the NRCC's policy director, Jordan Davis, wrote on Facebook.
The argument goes something like this: Not only did the IRS favor Democrats by impeding their opponents through the tax code, they're also funneling money directly to Democratic candidates. And that makes Democrats complacent in the whole mess.
Not quite. The IRS, as a government agency, can't donate to candidates. The National Treasury Employees Union, which made the donations, represents employees from more than 30 federal agencies ranging from divisions of the Agriculture Department to the Social Security Administration. The IRS is just one of those agencies.
The rush to cast Democrats as tainted by an issue that also touches a number of Republicans could give Democrats an opening to argue that the GOP is overplaying its hand as the Obama administration defends itself over the IRS scandal, the terrorist attack in Libya, and the government's seizure of The Associated Press' telephone records.
Capito's spokesman said the contribution came at the request of union members in her district, and she plans to keep the money. National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brad Dayspring defended his group's attack by pointing out that unlike Capito, Democrats like New York Sen. Charles Schumer took the money while also calling for tighter IRS restrictions on tax-exempt groups like the ones the IRS has admitted it targeted.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, which promotes House GOP candidates, said it isn't calling on Republican lawmakers to give back the money — just Democrats — but rejected the suggestion that unidirectional criticism was hypocritical. Spokesman Dan Scarpinato noted that the overwhelming majority of the union's donations went to Democrats.
"Clearly this agency is not only scandal-ridden but also highly biased, which is reflective in both the cash they've pumped into Democrat candidates and the fact that they have targeted conservative groups," he said.

We already talked about the Frog FZ750 Rana that is on display now at the SFMOMA, and the word on the street is that the folks at Frog Design are already missing their favorite lobby decoration. Looking to draw from the design-changing ethos that was first created by the FZ750, Frog designer Jin Seok Hwang (New York office) took stylus to hand, and inked what he hopes will be a new influence in modern motorcycle design — though this time around the exercise is being done with an electric motorcycle.
Frog Design is better known for its work designing computer cases for Apple, but in 1985 Frog Design's Founder Hartmut Esslinger designed the Frog FZ750. A two-wheeled concept vehicle that was a Yamaha FZ750 underneath the skin, the Frog FZ750 actually helped give birth to the venerable Honda Hurricane.
Conceived just a few years after Frog Design opened its California office, the now iconic Frog FZ750 was a reaction to increasing pressure for safer motorcycles (the Yamaha FZ750 was outlawed in the Golden State at the time), and set the standard for a generation of motorcycle design to come.

*Just to inform y'all, I had the name Flo/Florence/Flolio BEFORE Aunty Flo did. Either my friends named that lovely part of life after me, or they are complete idiots. I opt for both answers.

Sony has finally joined the ranks of manufacturers with smaller versions of their flagships following the announcement of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact at CES 2014.
Those with a keen eye will notice that Sony has avoided calling the Z1's baby brother the Z1 Mini (and there's no sign of the rumoured Z1S name), as the smaller stature of its new handset is almost merely a shrink in size, rather than adopting a raft of less powerful innards like the HTC One Mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.
In essence, the Sony Xperia Z1 compact may have more in common with the iPhone 5C then. Sony has kept on what made the Xperia Z1 its flagship handset, including the 2.2GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and that 20.7MP camera.
So how does the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact stand up against its cut-down rivals? Let's find out.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs HTC One Mini vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini vs iPhone 5C: OS
All bar the iPhone 5C come rocking a skinned version of Android Jelly Bean, with the Sony beating its rivals on 4.2 as it comes with Android 4.3.
Each manufacturer has added its own skin, with Sony putting on the latest version of its UI. Unsurprisingly, HTC has kept the same Sense 5.0 Blinkfeed UI that first graced the HTC One, with Samsung overlaying Android with its TouchWiz UI.
Obviously, the iPhone 5C isn't Android, coming instead with Apple's new, redesigned and proprietary iOS 7 software.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs HTC One Mini vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini vs iPhone 5C: Processor and RAM
One of the biggest advantages of being a 'Compact' rather than a 'Mini' is that the Sony keeps the same 2GB RAM and 2.2GHz quad-core combination that was found in the larger Xperia Z1.
This puts it leagues ahead of the other three, with their dual-cores seeming diminutive in comparison. The other Android handsets both come equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 CPU, with the HTC clocked at 1.4GHz and the Samsung at 1.7Ghz.
Each also comes with less RAM than the Sony, with 1GB and 1.5GB respectively.
Apple has fitted the iPhone 5C with its A6 chip (the same as in the iPhone 5), which has been clocked at 1.3GHz and comes with 1GB RAM.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs HTC One Mini vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini vs iPhone 5C: Camera
Another area that Sony has focussed on keeping with the Z1 Compact is the impressive 20.7MP Exmor RS sensor that is found on the Z1. A 2MP sensor is found on the front, and both are able to record full HD, 1080p video.
We were really impressed with the camera in our full Sony Xperia Z1 review, with its ability to take 61 images in 2 seconds leading to "some of the finest photos we've seen come off a phone camera."
You'll have to keep your eyes peeled to see what we think of the camera in our upcoming Sony Xperia Z1 Compact review.
As for the other OEMs, HTC also managed to keep in the same camera that graced the 5 star HTC One. Although measured at only 4MP, each of the pixels on the HTC One Mini is larger, allowing more light in. A 1.6MP sensor is fitted to the front, able to record 720p images with the rear sensor managing 1080p.
Samsung fitted the Galaxy S4 Mini with a standard 8MP camera, able to record at 1080p, and the front of the phone houses a 1.9MP sensor. Apple has also fitted an 8MP iSight sensor to its iPhone 5C, with a 1.2MP sensor adorning the front for FaceTime calls.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact vs HTC One Mini vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini vs iPhone 5C: Screen
The name Z1 Compact is a massive clue that Sony's newest handset does not match the 5-inch Full HD screen that adorns the Sony Xperia Z1. That isn't to say it's not impressive.
Both the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and HTC One Mini storm ahead of the Galaxy S4 Mini and iPhone 5C with 4.3-inches of HD goodness and 720 x 1280 resolutions giving around 342ppi.

Perhaps it is a small victory if they can get even as few as 10,000 gamers to sign up. I'm also under no illusions that it's going to suddenly make Trade Chat a happy-happy place to hang out, but the more people that stand up and say that this sort of behavior is NOT okay, so much the better.

That being said, there are a few Armenian churches where there are little name plaques in the nave stating who donated various items or icons.
Something came up recently which got me curious. In my Syriac Orthodox Church I remember the priest announcing (at the end of mass) in Church how much money family x or person y gave to the Church (and these are the larger amounts, not small amounts) and after reading what H.H. Pope Shenouda III wrote in his book "The Spiritual Means" for example I don't know how we could do something like that.Do people from the other OO Churches recognize this practice? Is there anything that could support it?
It was told about St Milania at the beginning of her spiritual life, before becoming a nun, that she used to offer much to the monasteries and to the monks... It happened once that she put five hundred pieces of gold in a bag and gave it to Abba Bemwah to give to the monks who lived in the inner wilderness. The saint called his disciple, gave him the bag without opening it and asked him to distribute the contents among these monks... Here, Milania said: "But you have not opened it, father, to know how much is in it?" The saint replied: "If you have given this money to God, then God knows how much it is" ... And this was a lesson for Milania.

Increase in Flu Activity in Wichita Falls Area – Get Your Flu Shot!
If you've recently gotten sick and wondered if it was the flu, it may have been. Reports are coming out stating that there has been an increase in flu cases in the Wichita Falls area recently, which has lead to the Wichita County Public Health District to encourage people to get the flu shot. In addition to the flu, reports also state an increase in emergency room visits due to respiratory illness.
It takes approximately two weeks for the flu shot to take effect, so it's better to get it done sooner than later.
How can you prevent getting sick? The Health District recommends frequent hand washing, covering your mouth while coughing or sneezing, and staying home when you're sick.
The Health District will also be offering the flu shot starting Monday, September 23. You don't need an appointment and the hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00am – 4:30pm. There is a fee for the shot ranging from $3.50 to $35.00 depending upon your insurance, family size, and monthly income.
The CDC recommends that anyone over the age of 6 months should get the flu vaccine, especially women who are pregnant, children under 5 years, and people with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease. They also remind people that a flu vaccine is needed every year since new flu viruses appear each year.
You can find out more about the flu shot on the CDC Web site, including frequently asked questions and what to expect when you get the vaccine.

The SIM 32nd Singapore Open Asian Windsurfing Championship concluded with Thailand's Sakda Sakulfaeng being crowned the 2013 Asian Formula Men's Champion and Philippines, Coveta Geyloard and Malaysia's Geh Cheow Lin clinching the 2013 RS:One Asian Men's Champion and 2013 RS:One Asian Women's Champion titles respectively.
Despite a promising wind forecast on Day 3, unfavourable wind and rain conditions forced the Race Committee to call off racing for the day. The rain persisted on the fourth and the final day of the event, resulting in no races being run.
The 4-class event attracted 134 competitors from 13 countries - Hong Kong, Japan, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Argentina, Denmark, Great Britain and Australia and Singapore with India and 2013 SEA Games host country, Myanmar, being first-time participants of the event.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Vice-President Mr Ng Ser Miang was present at the Closing Ceremony as the Guest-of-Honour.
Top 3 by Class/Division / Photos on Facebook / More photos on Facebook
In the Formula Asian Championship, the windsurfers struggled with their big sails and big boards against the unrelenting conditions. Jesper Vesterstrom, former world number one Formula windsurfer managed 4 bullets, while the surprise of the day was Christopher Newman, a British windsurfer based in Singapore. Newman is ahead of Oceanic Formula Windsurfing Champion Sean O'Brien after four races on Day One. Current leading Asian Formula windsurfer is Thai Sakda Sakulfaeng who is five points ahead of Singaporean Harold Ma.
In the inaugural RS:One Asian Championship which sees competitors from Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan and Malaysia fighting for top honours, the race was tightly fought between Philippines' Coveta Geylord and Thailand's Phonoppharat Natthap who are currently three points apart.
The SIM 32nd Singapore Open Asian Windsurfing Championship continues tomorrow with the RS:X Olympic class, and Techno 293 Youth Olympic Class starting their first races where the Singapore national windsurfers will take on their counterparts from Hong Kong, India, Indonesia and Thailand.
In the RS:One class, recently-crowned RS:One World Champion Coveta Geylord maintained his lead while seasoned Olympic campaigner and Asian Games Gold medalist Oka Sulaksana took two bullets to overtake Phonoppharat Natthaphong in the ranking, moving from 4th position to 2nd position.
Meanwhile in the Olympic RS:X class, it was a close fight amongst the Hong Kong team with the top three positions going to Lee Chung Ting, To Kok Yin and Ng Ho Yin of Hong Kong respectively. Team Singapore windsurfer, Chuah Jun Ler scored two third positions to finish in 5th place.
The Hong Kong team continued their dominance in the Techno 293 class, taking a clean sweep of the top four positions. Singaporeans Nicholas Wee and Ruth Mow put in credible performances, finishing in the 8th and 9th positions respectively in a fleet of 22 competitors.

Brides and grooms across New Jersey filled out marriage license applications this weekend after a judge ruled that same-sex marriages in the state will begin on Monday, as planned.
The state's highest court ruled unanimously to uphold an order that they must start Monday and to deny a delay that had been sought by Gov. Chris Christie's administration.
"Not only does it validate our relationship in the eyes of the law, in the state of New Jersey, but it also honors those who came before us that have fought for these rights," said Gregory Galvez, who filled out paperwork for a license Saturday with his partner of 23 years, Oscar Madrid.
Some New Jersey officials who will preside over marriages on Monday said the ruling was historic.
"I think this is a civil rights issue," said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop. "There's not many times in one's lifetime to be part of something significant like this."
Ebony Batts' and Lisa Graham's whole family came out to city hall in Jersey City to mark the occasion Saturday.
"We're not promised today and we're not promised tomorrow, so give everybody that shot to be happy," said Batts.
New Jersey will be the 14th state to allow same-sex marriage.
The celebration is marked with some anxiety, since a judge will hear the governor's appeal in January.
Mayor Fulop said he does not believe the ruling will be struck down.
"I think that's all political," he said. "I don't think that's going anywhere."

Matt Steen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 129 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Strong On Paper
Strong On Paper is a new site for football (soccer) teams to organise their games, leagues etc. The basic idea is to make life as easy as possible for the gaffer (i.e. the bloke who organises the team), so they're not constantly chasing up their players. A game can be whatever size (5/6/11-a-side) on grass, astro, concrete, in a club, or just 'jumpers for goalposts' ... anywhere.
We're looking for a logo. We don't yet have one, so this can be treated as a blank canvas.
In case you don't know, 'Strong On Paper' is somewhat of a footballing/sporting cliche, as in 'the team looks strong on paper, but let's see how they perform on the pitch'.
Amateur male football (SOCCER) players, 16-40. Claim not to take the game too seriously, but get very excited just before the match.
Probably British for the moment. (But absolutely no union jacks or St George's crosses please.)
* We need a LOGO.
* We want it to be simple, without too many elements.
* Must be a vector image.
* Preferably work in black & white as well as colour.
* We'd like a 'beta' version of the logo, i.e. with a small banner or subtext saying 'beta'.
* Buzz words: team, teamwork, gaffer (manager), sport, pitch.
* We would also like suggestions of Fonts that complement the logo.
* Optional: a letterhead based on the same design.
* Please provide examples with following fonts:
Favourite: http://www.dafont.com/fff-tusj.font
HVD Comic Serif here: http://www.hvdfonts.com/freefonts.php
We don't want
* Union Jacks, flags etc..
----- UPDATE: some ideas for logos ------
I'd really like to get across the idea of team play in the logo, if at all possible:
Logo idea: see logo_test.jpg attached. As I said, I'd like to convey the idea that this is about teams...

We've always wanted to try yanking a tablecloth off a table without destroying all of the fancy place settings. Leave it to our experimental friends from the east to tap into our strangest wants. According to Arcade Heroes, a new Japanese arcade game called 'The Tablecloth Hour' requires players to pull an actual piece of fabric, which yanks a virtual tablecloth from an onscreen table. Naturally, the object is to pull the cloth with just the right amount of touch and quickness so that the virtual dishes don't crash to the floor. If you make your way over to Taito Station in Shibuya, Japan to test the console out, feel free to shout, "TA-DA!" for us. [From: Arcade Heroes, via: Oh Gizmo!]
