Spain could soon become the first country in the world to give chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other great apes some of the fundamental rights granted to human beings under a law being proposed by members of the ruling Socialist coalition.<\/p>\n

Join Father Michael to learn the primitive human spirituality of shamanism! Shamanism is not a religion or a cult. It is a spiritual methodology as old as humanity itself. So much of the Bible and our Catholic spiritual tradition are rooted in shamanism, but we have forgotten this simple, human spirituality.<\/p>\n
So, enrich your life — not just your spiritual life but your whole life by exploring a different reality. It is the reality that Christ called the Kingdom of God, and you can visit it on Tuesdays, the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th of June from 7-8:30pm in the South Room of the Ministry Center.<\/p>\n
Father Michael will teach the basics of shamanic spirituality: spiritual cosmology, sonic driving, journeying, working with spirit guides and teachers and healing — all from such a good, Catholic perspective that the Pope himself would be honored to lay on the floor next to you to retrieve your lost power animal!<\/p>\n
Most people find this form of meditation easier to do lying down, so you will probably want to bring a blanket or mat. Also, bring paper and pen to journal your experiences. If you have any questions, please call Father Michael at 847-825-3153.<\/span> Unfortunately not a parody, but a story reported by Matt C. Abbot<\/a> on Father Michael Wanda, associate pastor of Mary Seat of Wisdom Parish in Park Ridge, Ill. The Catholic Encyclopediasays about the word shaman<\/a> that it is "a word derived by Bantzaroff from Manchu saman, i.e., an excited or raving man." The definition seems to be right on the money in this case. I find it pretty funny that he says the Pope would be honored to lie down next to you you to retrieve your lost power animal. Now I know the Vatican’s translation service is slow, but I think I might have heard about a Wednesday audience about power animals. Though in this case I think the pope if he were to call a power animal he might call a Rottweiler for Fr. Wanda instead of a nice fluffy kitty of which the Pope prefers. It is no surprise that Shaman starts with sham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spain could soon become the first country in the world to give chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other great apes some of the fundamental rights granted to human beings under a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-punditry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
