CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Eucharist as a Sacrament
The matter, form, effects, necessity, minister and recipient are explained in a
Traditional way.
The investigation into the precise nature of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, whose existence do not deny, is beset with a number of difficulties
Although both may occur as the result of a special grace, its true nature is manifested in a certain cheerful and willing fervor in all that regards Christ and His Church, and in the conscious fulfillment of the duties of one's state of life, a disposition of soul which is perfectly compatible with interior desolation and spiritual dryness
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eucharist
The name given to the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar its twofold aspect of
sacrament and Sacrifice of Mass, and in which Jesus Christ is truly present under the ...
Thus in the bosom of the Blessed Trinity, by virtue of the eternal generation, communicates His Divine Nature to, 'the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father' (), while the, by virtue of the, communicates in turn the Divine Nature received from His Father to His human nature formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary (), in order that thus as, hidden under the Eucharistic Species, He might deliver Himself to His Church, who, as a tender mother, mystically cares for and nurtures in her own bosom this, her greatest treasure, and daily places it before her children as the spiritual food of their souls
Even were an analogy discernible between the Eucharistic repast and the ambrosia and nectar of the ancient Greek gods, or the haoma of the Iranians, or the soma of the ancient Hindus, we should nevertheless be very cautious not to stretch a mere analogy to a parallelism strictly so called, since the Eucharist has nothing at all in common with these pagan foods, whose origin is to be found in the crassest idol- and nature-worship
All that is beautiful, all that is true in the religions of nature, has appropriated to itself, and like a concave mirror has collected the dispersed and not infrequently distorted rays of truth into their common focus and again sent them forth resplendently in perfect beams of light

O ur People need a religion where Race is the foundation, a religion that is rooted in Nature, and a religion that celebrates our past and secures our future
Creativity is considered a new religion (founded in 1973 by Ben Klassen), but the laws of our creed are not new and were not invented.Creativity puts into words that which Nature established from the beginning of time
We regard our bloodlines as the most sacred virtue on Earth, and just like the honeybee we have a particular function in the survival of our colony. Nature has given each of us strong instinctual urges that give us our own particular characteristics that have helped us survive for all these thousands of years
I am truly awe struck at Natures remarkable genius
There are those people who think that man is above Nature, that we have somehow conquered her
This is completely untrue! Even with all of our scientific inventions we are still creatures of Nature
Our ancestors gave us women like Hypatia, Queen Boudicea Joan dArc, Queen Isabella, Amelia Earhart, Leni Riefenstahl, and many others! The brilliant accomplishments of our People are endless, a legacy to embrace and to preserve! A religion where Race is the foundation, a religion that is rooted in Nature, and a religion that celebrates our past and secures our future: Creativity!

Mystical Theology
Edited by Arthur Versluis. The influence of this short work can hardly be overstated.
Apophatic mysticism.
CHAPTER III What are the affirmations and the negations concerning God? In the Theological Outlines (6) we have set forth the principal affirmative expressions concerning God, and have shown in what sense God's Holy Nature is One, and in what sense Three; what is within It which is called Paternity, what Filiation, and what is signified by the name Spirit; how from the uncreated and indivisible Good, the blessed and perfect Rays of its Goodness proceed, and yet abide immutably one both within their Origin and within themselves and each other, co-eternal with the act by which they -207- spring from it; how the superessential Jesus enters in essential state in which the truths of human nature meet; and other matters made known by the Oracles are expounded in the same place
Again, in the treatise on Divine Names, we have considered the meaning, as concerning God, of the titles of Good, of Being, of Life, of Wisdom, of Power, and of such other names as are applied to it; further, in Symbolical Theology we have considered what are the metaphorical titles drawn from the world of sense and applied to the nature of God; what is meant by the material and intellectual images we form of it, or the functions and instruments of activity attributed to it; what are the places where it dwells and the raiment in which it is adorned; what is meant by God's anger, grief and indignation, or the divine inebriation; what is meant by God's oaths and threats, by Its slumber and waking; and all sacred and symbolical representations
The Nature, Causes and Means of Regeneration
A definitive defense of the biblical doctrine of regeneration by John Owen.
THE NATURE, CAUSES, AND MEANS OF REGENERATION
UNTO the description we are to give of the work of regeneration, the precedent account of the subject of it, or the state and condition of them that are to be regenerated, was necessarily to be premised; for upon the knowledge thereof doth a due apprehension of the nature of that work depend
And the occasion of all the mistakes and errors that have been about it, either of old or of late, hath been a misunderstanding of the true state of men in their lapsed condition, or of nature as depraved
It is an evidence of the corruption of nature, that it disenables the minds of men to discern their own corruption
Particularly, having confined myself to treat only concerning the depravation of the mind and will, I have not insisted on that of the affections, which yet is effectual to retain unregenerate men under the power of sin; though it be far enough from truth that the whole corruption of nature consists therein, as some weakly and atheologically have imagined
Much less have I treated concerning that increase and heightening of the depravation of nature which is contracted by a custom of sinning, as unto all the perverse ends of it
Eastern Slavic Reflections on Nature
An account of how, the Eastern Slavs, particularly the pre-Christian Russians,
interacted with nature.
MAN IN NATURE [ | ] Pre-Christian Eastern Slavic Reflections on Nature What follows is a simple account of how, in earlier times, the Eastern Slavs, particularly the pre-Christian Russians, interacted with nature
Pre-Christian slavic religion was mainly based on nature worship
The forces of nature were personified, feared, and revered, and the Slavs developed a whole pantheon of gods and goddesses
A whole cycle of rituals revolved around various forces of nature and their personified images
Regeneration: Part I
A practical view of regeneration in two parts.
That human nature has lost that moral purity and perfection with which it was originally endued, is a truth which lies at the heart of the Christian religion
And the enormity of his guilt, as well as the obstinate perverseness of his evil nature, depends on the clearness of the light resisted, and the multitude of the mercies abused
Having considered the necessity of regeneration, we come now to speak of the power by which it is effected of the instrument in accomplishing it and of its nature and effects
God is able to work without means, but both in the worlds of nature and grace it has pleased him to employ appropriate means for the accomplishment of his own ends
Our animal frame is formed, and organized, and nourished, and kept alive, and recovered from disease by means adapted to these ends, but no one can explain the secret process of nature in these operations
Thus the soul of every man is by nature blind
And as we are all by nature the children of wrath conceived in sin and dead, infants need regeneration as really as adults, and cannot enjoy the holy happiness of heaven without such a renovation of their fallen nature

...Concerning the nature of Deity: that it is incomprehensible
The properties of the divine nature
Concerning Christ's two natures, in apposition to those who hold that He has only one(2)
Concerning the number of the Natures
That in one of its subsistences the divine nature is united in its entirety to the human nature, in its entirety and not only part to part
In reply to those who ask whether(7) the natures of the Lord are brought under a continuous or a discontinuous quantity(8)
In reply to the question whether there is Nature that has no Subsistence
Concerning the Nature as viewed in Species and in Individual, and concerning the difference between Union and Incarnation: and how this is to be understood, 'The one Nature of God the Word Incarnate
Concerning the properties of the two Natures
In reply to those who say(7) 'If man has two natures and two energies, Christ must be held to have three natures and as many energies
Concerning the deification of the nature of our Lord's flesh and of Hi's will
In reply to those who say(5) 'If Christ has two natures, either ye do service to the creature in worshipping created nature, or ye say that there is one nature to be worshipped, and another not to be worshipped
In Defense of Icons
Two excerpts from the writings of St. John of Damascus.
A number of defenses of Icons were made: based on the existence of Divinely approved images in nature and Scripture; based on the reality of the incarnation; and based on a Platonic metaphysics of ascending images which participated in the prototype
In this century plus discussion of art, we find one of the most searching investigations into the nature of art in 'western' culture before the Italian Renaissance
If, therefore, Holy Scripture, providing for our need, ever putting before us what is intangible, clothes it in flesh, does it not make an image of what is thus invested with our nature, and brought to the level of our desires, yet invisible? A certain conception through the senses thus takes place in the brain, which was not there before, and is transmitted to the judicial faculty, and added to the mental store
First of all the worship of latreia, which we show to God, who alone by nature is worthy of worship
When, for the sake of God who is worshipful by nature, we honour His saints and servants, as Josue and Daniel worshipped an angel, and David His holy places, when be savs, 'Let us go to the place where His feet have stood.' Again, in His tabernacles, as when all the people of Israel adored in the tent, and standing round the temple in Jerusalem, fixing their gaze upon it from all sides, and worshipping from that day to this, or in the rulers established by Him, as Jacob rendered homage to Esau, his elder brother, and to Pharaoh, the divinely established ruler

On the Faith, to Simplicius
HA Wilson translation and notes. From the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the
Christian Church, second series, vol. 5. At Christian Classics Ethereal Library.
And who is the strange God? Surely, he who is alien from the nature of the true God
If, therefore, our own God is the true God, and if, as the heretics say, the Only-begotten God is not of the nature of the true God, He is a strange God, and not our God
But the Gospel says, the sheep 'will not follow a stranger .' He that says He is created will make Him alien from the nature of the true God
For He was the Word, and was made flesh; and He was God, and was made man; and He was without body, and was made a body; and besides, He was made 'sin, ' and 'a curse, ' and 'a stone, ' and 'an axe, ' and 'bread, ' and 'a lamb, ' and 'a way, ' and 'a door, ' and 'a rock, ' and many such things; not being by nature any of these, but being made these things for our sakes, by way of dispensation
So that, since we recognize two things in Christ, one Divine, the other human (the Divine by nature, but the human in the Incarnation), we accordingly claim for the Godhead that which is eternal, and that which is created we ascribe to His human nature
But when they say, 'if He was, He was not begotten, and if He was begotten He was not, ' let them learn that it is not fitting to ascribe to His Divine nature the attributes which belong to His fleshly origin

Neopaganism, Feminism, and the New Polytheism
Norman Geisler traces the origins and beliefs of modern Paganism.
Citing Andrea Dworkin, he noted that 'the Old Religion celebrated sexuality, fertility, nature and women's place in it....' Its 'central figure was a hairy, merry deity who loved music and dancing and good food.' It 'was nature-centered and woman-centered
There were priestesses, wise women, midwives, goddesses, sorceresses.' In addition, 'there was no dogma; each priestess interpreted the religion in her own fashion.' Of course, 'this Old Religion couldn't be reestablished in New Age society, ' notes Satin, 'but we could adapt its nature- and woman-centeredness to our own new priorities and concerns.' For example, 'nature-centeredness has an obvious parallel in our growing recognition that the quality of our connection to the environment -- both natural and people-made -- has a lot to do with our spiritual health and spiritual growth.'4 From this it is obvious both how neopaganism grows out of paganism and how it feeds into the New Age movement
In speaking of the nature of thinking required for contemporary understanding Philip Wheelwright points to plurisignificative knowing and communicating

It will then become advisable to discover the nature of that force and to attack and destroy it
It is only necessary to inflame the Will to the proper pitch and to issue its commands: they are instantly obeyed, unless the apparatus is damaged beyond the art of Nature to repair
Philosophy in the Boudoir
Condensed version of the text.
Libido is everywhere, and it is always far more than itself." Then, in his remarkable politics, a sort of semi-anarchy where worship of nature, red in tooth, claw, and several other body parts, utterly replaces religion and supplies the basis of indomitable laws, he takes the principles of Voltaire (a friend of Sade's father) to its unnatural conclusion
They favour your passions, which are naught but the means Nature employs to bring man to the ends she prescribes
MADAME DE SAINT-ANGE: Oh, my dear! Has he had you? LE CHEVALIER: We've had our pleasures, but there's no need to belittle those with strange tastes, they are still as Nature meant
Can Nature recommend what offends her? EUGENIE: But what of pity as a virtue? DOLMANCE: What can that be for one with no religion? Come, let us use reason
If man owes his existence only to Nature's irresistible schemes; if this God is simply the ne plus ultra of human reason; this God would be the most detestable of creatures, since it would be God who permits the evils his omnipotence could prevent
EUGENIE: You mean that God is an illusion? DOLMANCE: Fruit of the terror and of frailty, Eugénie! God and Nature are one? Absurd! Might the watch be the watchmaker? What does Christianity offer? A Lord who begat by fucking, who perhaps didst detach his member to be carried down by angels to a Jewish whore in a pigsty? For what sublime mission? An obscure childhood, doubtless some very libertine services to the priests of Jerusalem, then fifteen years' wandering, and he says he's the son of God

The Perfect Way represents a discovery to ascertain the nature and method of existence
The key to the overcoming of death and to the processes of realizing the meaning and nature of eternity and the continuity of life can with safety be revealed only when love holds sway over the human consciousness, and where the good of the whole, and not the selfish good of the individual, comes to be the supreme regard
There is no static point in nature
Human life can be divided into seven aspects, the physical, mental, emotional, social, cultural, its relationship with nature and its relationship with the cosmos
The first is the path of the consciousness, the second is that of nature, and the third is that of accumulated experience
"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; all paradoxes may be reconciled." As above, so below; as below, so above
"It is not an external enemy whom we have to dread, for the real foe is within ourselves." The soul, being in its nature eternal, passes from one form to another until, in its highest stage, it polarizes sufficiently to receive the spirit
What is the Wheel of the Year
An explanation of the Sabbats. By Taliesen Enion Vawr.
These festivals and four lesser festivals corresponded to natural cycles of Nature (animal mating, seasons, planting and harvest) and the cycles of the Sun (Solstices and Equinoxes)
If one follows the faerie path and offers the sacrifices of love and spiritual dedication to the Divine Earth Goddess and the Celestial God during these Sabbats, we believe that he or she will make evident an inner awareness of their true spiritual nature
Faerie Witches also have a great love and concern for Nature in all her aspects
