My  message  as a minister is also a message of freedom, that there is room for everyone’s personal spiritual universe by means of permitting everyone his own form of worship and belief system.  Based on my trainings degrees and years of experiences I offer  workshops in   earthcentered spirituality and Reiki.

. If you meet the part, you will have met the whole as an element of a greater cosmic order.  .“Zen awakening reveals that all is one—oneself and that one self is all.”For example:  Esbats like the jewish Schabbat starts  with sundown  because the moon was seen as  a gatekeeper to interdimentional communication. When jewish people light the chanukkah candles it’s because  Chanukkah ,in  the month of  December , is our festival  of new hope and dedicated to the light.. around the same time  wiccans/ pagans   light the candles to  increase the light into darkness in expectation of  the increaing of the sun  .
We  are all one people  . People of  all different  believe systems  lightening candles around the same time .Humanity needs to find religious common ground in as much as all children share the same planet.“
The Exodus from Egypt was an act of liberation.

I love the American people because their freedom  makes their identity as Americans .

If you like to save our religious freedom always go ahead and do it.  Always believe in yourselfe.
 If   people are  taking away humans dignity is it mostly  based on  system imanent thinking  of  religious  fundamentalism.  After everything happened—the Inquisition, abuse, defamation, and oppression—we are thankful for the light of our  all lives.  There will also be a new life, just as the phoenix rises from the ashes.

Birthday March 18, 1960  
Languages English, German  
About Me About me :I am a poet and published writer , and love to be around people.
I am a vegetarien and accept life as it is and do my best to make each day fantastic. A book of my poems was published under the name of Rachel Miriam Abraham .Der Achlamah ( Donat 1993) and Anthologies : Frauen fuer Frieden( Lysistrata 1999) Woman for peace and in 2005/6 in the anthology Offene Fragen ( open question 70 years pen centre german speaking writers abroad) with a poem Time Scooter
"The poem persuses different feelings and spiritual associations caused by the events of September 11th,>> When grief has become a greeting/ Behind black doors/ tears convey/ to a landscape of spirit/...
.I like to work as interfaith minister I believe in the oneness of all religion For example Wicca A delight upon Jesaiah 58.14(oneg) of being over full like a chalice is interpreted by early Kabbalists as “The Turning of the Year” in opposite to plague (nega) .Like the Moon if he is is full so the pregnant mother and rituals of handfasting might be conduct under circumstances at the dark side of the year but more appropriate after the devine marriage of Lordfire.I do conduct marriages and I am a licensed minister.Building a magic circle is one wall of the wiccan faith
Exechiel was called to come inwards of the circle ( Galgal) beneath the cherub( Exechiel 10:2 )
Birds makes their nests in circles to build energies up, and the seasons are cycling in their natural wholeness. The circle is powerful and protective.
Focused energie “ the cone of power” will be sended out
by Casting the circle Will increased.Every person creates his own universe
And is moved as well by the realities of all others
Thus we are all bound together on this planet
And required to take responsibility for one another
To be the protector of our brother
But also friendly to the stranger

In the upper skies/heavens
The three archangels visit:
fMichael
Gabriel
Uriel
Rafael.
Even now is, as in biblical days,
Our father Abraham is still guest-friendly
Guardians is another name for the four element
The Guardians as watchers in these Quarter points are the angelic beings. Invite them to participate: Invite Rafael
Air brings freedom, friendship, truth, dance and prayer
Invite Michael bring the Element of fire to the table Oh Angel Michael join us be welcome
Lend thus your powers to us
Powers of ouer own inner rising sun

and I would continue to invite the elemental forces and bring the element of water to the table
The elements were always protecting
And/ or as the guardians of the elemental Kingdoms
Element: Air / East
The realm of directing, interaction, worshipping, cooperation
Regeneration, and Metamorphosis and meditation
Element: Fire/ South
Element: Water/ West
realm of emotional relieve
Element : Earth/ north
I would consider myselfe a jewish- wiccan building up a new tradition For example The circle will be cast by lightening the candles ,
Putting the Torah in a cypress box lying in violet flowers and say: After the harvest “the eternal one of Seir” came and Moses brought forth the ten
holy commandments By fire and Air
called “Torah from the eternal ones sapphire royal seat “say: After the harvest “the eternal one of Seir”
Your sapphire is bright – voicing
In the kiss of my soul
night wards with the star

Blessed be the salt

Take the salt from the north Quarter of the ceremonial area and go to the main working table and say :

From the north I am bringing the salt
Put the salt in the bowl and shake it three times.
Mix water from the west Quarter and blessed salt shaking It 3 times in the goblet around ( in the meaning of blessed be the man with life.
Between Michael and Gabriel is the "truth,” and over its holy forms and buildings are You, Uriel the Ruler.
:Oh mighty one
supports our establishment for life and renew
Make us be save and in your true light“Let your light be as one with me, as witness and shield at this gateway between the worlds, so mote it be” holding the picture of a fox towards the gateway and the 5 books of Moses in Hebrew, because she is daughter and architect.

Wild Fact About Me boxing,
My Philosophy "All you need is love
love is all you need"
God is not everything, but rather a negation, the absence of all traits, and thus an unthinkable, the closest thing to pure thought. He is untouchable in terms of thinking

Freiheit wird beschränkt
durch das Wo,
die Freiheit eines Jeden
durch die Freiheit aller.
Freiheit
ist aus dem Unzeitigem entsprungen
An der Wahl vermag
sich Freiheit zu vollziehen;
Ihr Berühren der Möglichkeiten,
ist auch ein Berühren aus Freiheit.
Zeit ist ihr Medium.
Die Vergangenheit
ist ein Ort der Kraft.

Der Liebende
gleicht einem Himmelskörper--
aus seiner Bahn gerissen und -
zu Fall gebracht.
Die Welt logisch zu strukturieren,
kommt dem Versuch nach,
über das Intuitive zu herrschen.
Intuition ist bis zu ihrer Formfindung als vorbegriffliche Erkenntnis zu begreifen.
Intuition ist nicht ein bloßes Erfassen im Gefühl,sondern Lesen in unsichtbaren Strukturen.
Die Wirklichkeit ist immer weniger
als das Ideal.
Durch das Eindringen des Neuen
in einen Folgeverlauf
kommt der schöpferische Akt,
der Gravitationskraft vergleichbar,
zu seiner Erfüllung.
Einem jeden Ding steht immer
zweierlei zu:
Einmal wird es bestimmt durch sein Gegenteil und weiterhin im Verhältnis auf seine Gesamtmöglichkeiten
an denen es seinen Teil hat.


Das Relative liegt
immer als Einschränkung
vom Möglichkeitsfeld vor,
da es das All der Realität
nicht mit einzuschließen vermag.

Aus Kapiteln meiner Aphorismen:1.GEIST UND MATERIE und
2.WIRKLICHKEIT UND MÖGLICHKEIT DENKEN UND HANDELN
What Gives Me Hope Freedom, Love
and emphathy gives me hope . Also enlightement and scientific research in order to prevent a second holocaust for jewish volks and to prevent any other genocide (i.e., mass murder on racial or religious grounds).
Also everyone who protects human rights gives hope , Care 2 gives me hope.
Activists who prevent women’s oppression and genocide, to protect women and children,
People who work for the welfare of all humanity.

"by comforting - we are comforted
by lifting, we are lifted
the least among us shall light the world "
Also hope in given by
lightening a candle to the left
and blessing the lights of compassion, by
lightening a candle to the right
and bless the lights of redemtion and
in the middle
you could become a light for others
and bless mankind
Let this drop of humility brighten up to a melodie of prayer on earth.
If you can't do that
light a candle of unity in the middle of the right and left candle, for the choosen ones
depending on the faith
For example in Judaism is the choosen one Messias : Menachem chanting whatever your heart is telling you
For today I am chanting :
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuhman
and so on
Also freedom gives me hope with it's message , that there is room for everyone’s personal spiritual universe by means of letting everyone his own form of worship and belief system.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Equality is important ,
we are a part of nature The society has to establish and maintain a healthy environment for children
Every beneficial health technique can be welcomed as well as wholistic health spirituality to call forth creativity: whereas
for instance color is vibration in motion whereas discover the Arts brings colors into our life.In my opinion, our Discipline has to link our spiritual consciousness to the ultimate force of energies to assist and involved into projects that preserve human dignity in harmony with the natural world. .
Because our Kids today will make our politic of tomorrow,
Schools have to cooperate with organizations which are formed to provide lectures and engage in scientific research in order to prevent genocide (i.e., and ethnicale on on racial or religious grounds), to protect human rights, to prevent women’s oppression and genocide, to protect women and children, and to work for the welfare of all humanity.
The schools has to work in cooperating with human wellfare agencies or organizations. State schools shall make no commitment that bind the school to a perticulare religions and state schools shal not make commitments to bind students to a particular kind of religious doctrine or disziplines and believes without an universal settings. Public and private art schools have to cooperate with parents for educational improvement Schhls have to build ub conciousness to avoid the giving rise to discrimination based on color, - race, nationality , or religion , or ethnic or homosexuality or profession or because of any other like financial backgrounds . Action without controling or interfering administration
Freedom and Privacy in peaceful balance is necessary
Free planet earth from destruction, war and pollution
From oppression and killing of animals becaue animals
are also people and
free the planet from opression of
diverse cultures and from genocide
of all kind of endangered people or family , like
Jewish people , Sinti and Roma
, Native Americans, people of color
Witches, minorities,
Grant prosperity to all of us
grant wealth from within and without to all kind of mercyful humans.
All children deserve freedom
a home to live in,
a safe place to stay,
to be well educated, in good health;
All creatures need acid-free rain.
Let love find a way.Petition powered by ThePetitionSite.com

  Favorites
Role Models  
Quotation Favorite Quote:"Shamanic ecstasy is the real "Old Time Religion," of which modern churches are but pallid evocations. Shamanic, visionary ecstasy, the mysterium tremendum, the unio mystica, the eternally delightful experience of the universe as energy, is a sine qua non of religion, it is what religion is for! There is no need for faith, it is the ecstatic experience itself that gives one faith in the intrinsic unity and integrity of the universe, in ourselves as integral parts of the whole; that reveals to us the sublime majesty of our universe, and the fluctuant, scintillant, alchemical miracle that is quotidian consciousness. Any religion that requires faith and gives none, that defends against religious experiences, that promulgates the bizarre superstition that humankind is in some way separate, divorced from the rest of creation, that heals not the gaping wound between Body and Soul, but would tear them asunder... is no religion at all!" Jonathan Ott

"Zen awakening reveals that all is one-oneself and that one self is all." "The Buddha said, "One man may conquer ten thousand men in battle, and another man may conquer only himself - but this man is the greater victor." Reb Nachman: "No one Is without value. Let the good in me Connect with the good In others, Until all the world Is transformed through The compelling power of Love “( LM 2:17) Einstein said, "Creativity is more important than knowledge." Through developing wisdom we can achieve awakening. The Buddhadharma is not about anything else; it is about accomplishing and perfecting one's own character. When one has perfected one's character, love and compassion will exist. Without them, we will suffer from resentment, unhappiness, and blame. -Jamin Sunim, in Women's Buddhism, Buddhism's Women --Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC: "Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear." "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do something I can do." --Helen Keller " The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written,as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." Alexander Hamilton 1775
