Halloween stories – the history of Bloody mary legend

/

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody…even joking about the mirrored specter gives me
chills. Some say you have to mention her name 3 times and others say 7 times, but the truth is 13 times .

One of the most popular urban legends is that of Bloody Mary, the spirit of a woman who can be summoned by repeating her name thirteen times into a dimly lit mirror. For whatever reason, this practice has persisted across generations with research on the topic beginning in 1978 when Jane Langlois wrote about the “game” as she came to call it and the origins. In 2014, Italian researchers explored the science and psychology behind Bloody Mary, ultimately adding a bit of credibility to the legend. If this story is true then it essentially proves witchcraft,
ghosts, and an afterlife; a truly extraordinary claim.

A surprising number of adults will admit to at least hearing about the infamous “Bloody Mary” (or any of her variations) and the ritual to summon her at least once in their lives. If any of ese individuals are like me, the story was told at a sleepover or campfire by a friend or older peer. As with most legend the story started with “A friend of a friend” or “My cousin’s friend”, to d validity and personality to the story, attempting the ritual. Alan Dundes writes in his article.

Fear anxiety and romance

/

Fear is one of the enemy’s most popular weapons that he uses against us. Worry, anxiety, fear…can overwhelm us with a thick shadow of darkness, controlling our every move and decision

[The holy Quran 10-62 mentioned that ‘Absolutely, GOD’s allies have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve. You can find similar thing in the Bible

[Quran 10:63] They are those who believe and lead a righteous life.
[Quran 10:64] For them, joy and happiness in this world, as well as in the Hereafter, This is GOD’s unchangeable law. Such is the greatest triumph.

The biggest problem in the world today is that people do not know who they are. Consequently, they have their priorities mixed up. You like someone so very much and you can fight the world for her but she or he does not like you because they don’t feel romantic enough. They don’t understand that Romance alone doesn’t guarantee you successful marriage and love, as it is LUST.

When the lust gone the men will drift away and leave you in a nice way, divorce after divorce and it is all the same multiple partners and boyfriends failed marriage and relationships all in the name of romance and then they will give an excuse to each situation like we drifted away, I felt in a nutshell, he is not hot and romantic enough, I underestimate his family or children, he is drinking now and gamboling, he don’t have time for me and so on.

Or they assume because you are from this or that culture you are not good fit and they stereo type you .It all about fear and anxiety after lust. True love is very hard to find and sometimes it is right in front of your eyes, so close to you but he or she decided to make you just a friend!

 If you ask the average person who they are, they look in the mirror. But this body is a vanishing garment. Yet, most people spend their entire life on the body–going to school, working hard, earning a lot of money. Meanwhile the real person, the soul, goes hungry. Hungry for love, true love and spiritual growth not spiritually bankrupt.  If we fail to heed our Creator and starve our souls, we eventually lose it. And this is the real loss, an eternal loss (Quran 7:9, 39:15).

That’s why it is better not to fallow your lust and temptations as most the human follow their sexual organs and not their heart and brain.

How do we feed our souls and become truly happy in this world and the Hereafter? The answer is by believing and leading a righteous life (Quran 6:158, 10:62-64). God has given us great gifts to grow our souls–the religious duties, including the 5 daily Contact Prayers (Salat).Yet you can learn to love and have great admiration to those who you don’t feel romantic with.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

You can have a person pray for you, if you have fear and the spirit of fear will go. However, when this spirit comes back to ‘check you out’, and you were never taught how to fight the fight of faith and resist the spirit of fear, oftentimes the fear will come back. This happens because you will think, “the prayer did not work, I must be doing something wrong. God did not answer my prayer, etc.

May God help us be aware of who we are, so that we spend our time growing our true self–the soul?

So much crazy going on around us today – wars, conflicts, persecution, violence, crime, natural disasters, terrorism, economic uncertainty, unemployment, divisions, China virus, disease, and death. We fear for our children’s future, we fear for our families, we fear for our financial future, we fear for our safety. The list goes on…long. There actually is a lot we could potentially worry about.

Yet reality tells us that so much of what we spend our time worrying about never even happens. Living under the weight of the “what if’s” is a hard place to dwell. 

If you focus and follow those who truly love you and can support you  things will be changed ,Change happened. Anxious thoughts began to diminish. Worry let go of its constant grip. And though fear is sometimes still there, it no longer wields control, holding you back, paralyzing you in its grasp, and romance will happen too. But we are society of monkeys , copy cats, people tell you and you believe , you live your life looking for romance and forget true love because your friends said this or that and they tell you that it’s all about chemistry and sparks ( lust).

It’s not always easy, and it often comes down to a choice: 

Choosing not to allow fear and anxiety to control your life. 
Choosing to guard your heart, and to follow temptations, addictions and lust.
Choosing to focus your mind on what is true in the midst of uncertain times.

We might still feel afraid, but we can believe that God is with us. We may not be in control, but we can trust the One who is. We may not know the future, but we can know the God who does.

 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56; 3  
 Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving; present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in God name” Philippians 4; 6-7.
 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~2 Timothy 1;7
 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”1 John 4; 18  
 “An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” Proverbs 12; 25
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will Fear no evil, for you God are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”Psalm 23; 4
“Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.  Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” Luke 12; 22-26.

From this verse Buddhists born and follow the kind life ,but that doesn’t mean you stop planning, saving and prepare for the future .

The Nature, the Means, the Desire, and the Release from temptations

/

The body has its nature. If the body wants to sleep you have to provide it with rest. But, what do we do if the body wants to sleep? We put on the television because of an interesting movie, and then start eating without been hungry; we are working against the nature of our body. Don’t go against your nature, when your desire someone who don’t like you and don’t fit your nature, culture and emotional intelligence you don’t need to be hard on yourself, just let go and follow your true nature .Don’t go against your nature .

Suppose the body has a desire to eat and even though you have eaten, the desire has not vanished. Your stomach is full, but the mind wants you to eat, so the desire to eat still remains. Can you relate to this situation? This is where willpower comes in, the release from desire need a well power, training, just like when you fast from food for 30 days in Muslim culture , it is struggle between the nature of the body, the desire , to release . Follow your true nature .Don’t live in fake reality, be yourself and allow your nature to guide you with your spiritual growth.

When you drink lots of water and you are very tired, you go to sleep you will dream that you want to release your bladder in so many scenarios, some people do it in their sleep and most wake up in the last minute to go to the washroom to release. Our body have the ability even in sleep to work with our desire and release, to work with our stress and give us stress reduction ways ,and we can learn alot from our dreams

If there is no co-ordination between these faculties of nature, desire, willpower, and release, then life will be a total chaos. As we see in TV the nature of human is the need for respect, justice, fairness, good opportunities .Then the police and US legal system took that away from some people due to many reasons following human negativity of hate and discrimination and the desire to have only certain nations, certain color and culture, certain people you will have in your hand a negative and bad release of anger, violence, destruction, killing, and total ciaos

It will be a misery. When there is co-ordination between the four faculties, the desire and the nature are coordinated. The means and fulfillment are co-ordinated. Liberation can be taken to mean fulfillment. Suppose you have a desire to go to by a new and expensive car, or to b a doctor, or get the person you love. But, your desire is not co-ordinated with your means. You have no willpower, no money; you are not romantic enough to that person, and so on.

A farmer who raises chicken and then they hatched, he took the eggs to the market so he can sale them. He put them all in a basket to take to the market. It was quite some distance to the market. Usually the mind does not keep quiet. The farmer started daydreaming as he was walking along. He began to make various plans what he would do with the money that he would earn by selling the eggs. He imagined that he would become so rich if he can do that daily.

He daydream more and he thought that his friends would respect him a lot when he will get richer.  He would give his family more money and improve their lives. And he would be able to just relax and lean on a chair doing nothing and let others sale his eggs. While dreaming he dropped both his hands and all the eggs fell down and were cracked open on the street. He did not even reach the marketplace. He was so sad and upset.

The 40-day memorial period for the dead person

/

The 40-day memorial period for the dead person has a major significance in traditions of Eastern Orthodox, Middle Eastern culture and other cultures.​It is believed that the soul of the departed remain wandering on Earth during the 40-day period, coming back home, visiting places the departed has lived in as well as their fresh grave. ​In Russian and Greek​tradition, bread and a glass of water is put in the ​icon corner in the house of the departed. The bread and water are intended for the departed and other deceased ancestors who will visit to remember him. 

The glass is refilled with fresh water daily while water from the previous day is poured out. It is common to make up the bed for the departed during the 40-day period, donating the bedding to the poor on the 40th Day.

 A towel for the departed is hung next to the window and brought to the church on the 40th Day. The house doors are adorned with spruce branches for the departed to easily find his house and for the passersby to give their respects. On the 40th Day the branches are brought to the cemetery or burned. ​In the Middle East they use palm tree staff, they put fresh staff on the grave.​

All remaining ritual items in memory of the departed are removed from the house, his cloth is donated to the poor.​ All ceremonial restrictions are also lifted on the 40th Day, it is no longer prohibited to lay on the departed bed, to leave the house empty and locked, to turn off the light in the departed room, to touch the departed cloth, etc.

It is also no longer prohibited to decorate the departed grave.​As some do believe that some souls will come back to the place, wander around, and check on their beds, chair and favorite spots and pets.

The family gathers on the 40th Day inviting those who wish to remember the departed visiting the grave and the church and having a memorial meal at the house. The church serves the 40th Day panihida  with prayers comforting the living and reminding the living of the brevity of life. The meal at the house includes traditional dishes of remembrance:kutia, kissels, honey drinks. In some traditions all night vigils with intense prayers are held on the night before the 40th Day.

The Motive of the 40th Day is “we said goodbye to you, no longer come to us, we will come to you.” After the 40th Day the living can no longer grieve about the departed, they must move on with their lives. All funeral wreaths are removed from the grave and burned.

​In Muslim tradition reading of the holy Quran, prayers will start day before until dawn in memory of the person, and they donate money and food to the poor almost daily to the end of the 40 days .They call it Sadaqa .
