Sixto Enriquez Rivera insists: Two Evening Food Offerings to Black Pearl and Maltese Rain. You can see Itay eating Green Seedless Grapes in the Ghostly Mirror.
JULIA PLEVIN: I learned that to connect to our truest power, we have to go through our ancestral tradition, or as the saying goes, “You must go through the roots if you want to bear the fruits.”
I began to wonder: What were my traditions? What role do I play in the larger story that started way before I was born and will continue long after I’m gone? And so I turned to Judaism, to the practices of my birthright.
One of my teachers taught me a practice to call in my ancestors with each direction of the medicine wheel. I started the Forest Bathing Club with a mission to empower people to reconnect to nature as a way to heal themselves, their communities, and the planet.
KETZIRAH: Ushpizin is actually just the Aramaic word for “guests.” When used in Jewish context, it refers to the “spiritual or ghostly guests welcomed into the festive hut during the holiday of Sukkot.” (Dennis: EJMMM) That’s right, you just read the words spiritual or ghostly!
The ritual involves inviting ancestors into your Sukkah each night of the holiday to join you at your meal.
There are many, many, many, approaches to inviting the Ushpizin and Ushpizot into your Sukkah. There are also many fascinating ways to physically mark the presence of the Ushpizin and Ushpizot in your Sukkah. Generally these are described as “decorations,” but let’s be honest. What we are doing is building an ancestor altar. So why not just embrace it? There is a custom of having an empty chair for the Ushpizin.
Holy Spirit in Moderation: Cultivate Intuitive Mind of Christ like Anna the Asherite Prophetess, Uncanny Mobility like Philip the Evangelist, Five Fold Ministry vis-à-vis Social Media
Excessive Holy Spirit: Spoken Gossip. Secular Social Media. Pharmaceutical Sorcery.
Each Female should Embody the Church Bride, each male should be Conscious of The Bridegroom Christ, and all should be open to receive Scriptural Anecdotes Literally.
RONIT YOELI~TLALIM: Ascending Holy Spirit rules the throat and governs speech, memory, awareness, clarity of skin complexion and others. Malfunctions of this Holy Spirit cause disorders of the upper part of the body, such as lung disorders, breathing difficulties, loss of voice, neck and shoulder pain, as well as headaches.
In Tibetan medicine, certain skin disorders can all be diagnosed as resulting from excess of Holy Spirit. Once these symptoms are diagnosed as resulting from excess of Holy Spirit, they could all be, in principle, treated in the same way.
too much worry, separation from loved ones, and exhausting intellectual work causes Holy Spirit problems.
Since 1973 over 62 million innocent lives have been killed due to abortion.

XINHUA: The RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) region covers a market of 2.2 billion people, or almost 30 percent of the world's population, with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of 26.2 trillion U.S. dollars or about 30 percent of global GDP, and accounts for nearly 28 percent of global trade.
Kevin J. Jones: The Catholic population in the United States has grown by about 2 million people in 10 years. With nearly 62 million people, it continues to constitute the largest religious body in 36 U.S. states, according to the latest religion-focused survey of America's religious congregations.
ZHANG HUIMIN: Data from the China General Administration of Customs revealed that in the first half of 2020, China's goods trade, in U.S. dollar terms, contracted by 6.6 percent year on year, with exports declining by 6.2 percent to 1.10 trillion U.S. dollars.
The Encampment of Dan ~ which, in the past, included Asher and Naphtali, while in the future, would comprise Asher and Menasseh, within the Encampment of Naphtali ~ is situated from Northwest to North to Northeast, commanded by Archangel Uri'el {אוּרִיאֵל meaning "El or God Is My Light"}. Perhaps, Sixto Enriquez Rivera obtained that Angelic Name, along with the letter "N" {based upon the sequence of events since 2020 February 5th}: when the letter "N" is attached to the beginning of a name ~ such as Nuri'el ~ It is auspicious. I forget why, but It has something to do with Natzrat or Nazareth or Nazarene. Not many People are named Uri'el, which sounds Soviet. Just in front, a tiny Brown Ibon landed on Winter Branches. Now, It's chirping loudly from behind and all over the House. Sigh.
JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY: In several passages of the Zohar, Uriel and Nuriel are the same angel, seen under different aspects. He is called Uriel under the aspect of mercy, but Nuriel under the aspect of rigor and severity.
💘 A Unionized Jersusalem transcends Politics. If Jerusalem remains divided into West and East, there will be complications physically for all of Humanity from the Beginning, until the End of the Age; Generational Mutilation is a paradigm that can be rectified with proper acknowledgement. {sus also means your in Spanish; Just noticed a typo: sus means caballo or steed in Hebrew;}
ARIEL DAVID: As long as the ancestors were known and remembered, the artifacts were prominently displayed.
“It’s like a picture of a grandfather on the wall,” Khalaily says. “He was an important figure in the family and the young generation needed to learn about him, whether he was a great warrior, a hunter, a leader or a shaman.”
In early agricultural societies, as well as in modern nation-states, this form of worship also has another side to it, as it helps reaffirm a group’s ancestral ties to, and by extension its ownership of, a specific piece of land, Israel Hershkovitz notes.
DITAS LOPEZ: Under Aquino’s six-year presidential term, the nation’s economy grew an average of 6.2% and twice exceeded 7%, the fastest pace since the 1970s.
RIVKA SARI: Grown in the foothills of Mt. Carmel and the Galilee region of Israel, the Holy Land, Olive Oil from Israel are products of the seeds sewn more than 2,000 years ago.
Health benefits are derived from monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which may help lower the risk of heart disease, lower total cholesterol, and aid in maintenance of blood sugars. two 1/2 tsp a day is recommended if take orally
Bean Sculpt: Studies suggest that decaf coffee can provide the same antioxidants as regular coffee, which protect the body from oxidative damage and may lower the risk of certain diseases 🛡️. It contains chlorogenic acid, known for its potential to positively influence blood sugar and blood pressure, which is good news for those managing diabetes or high blood pressure 🩺.
The drug “almost completely reduces insulin resistance and normalizes all diabetes-associated parameters to the normal range," said Concenter BioPharma co-founder and CSO Professor Mottie (Mordechai) Chevion.https://t.co/CI5cQPGn87
HEALTHY BEAUTY JOURNAL: Studies show that the leaves of the Jamaican cherry contain anti-cancer abilities. Because of this, they are being extensively studied as a possible cure for treating cancer.
WIKIPEDIA: The Aratiles or Datiles or Ratiles or Latires seeds ~ introduced to Southeast Asia and naturalized there, yet native to southern Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and western South America south to Bolivia and Argentina (The tree is also planted along river banks in Brazil, as fallen fruits attract fish.) ~ are dispersed by Birds and Fruit Bats; Leaves can be used for making tea.
Philip's aloofness was prophetic. Jesus found Philip's responses surprising. Philip's seemingly dumb answers always foretold significant events, which Jesus was obliged to fulfill. Philip profoundly, but point blank said, "It is better for You to show us the Father" ~ however grotesque and harsh that may be ~ than to tolerate this Wicked Generation. In other exasperated words, Philip told Jesus: "It is better for You to be Sacrificed on our behalf and thereby Christen a New World Order, than to settle for Crumbs and Caviar." I think that's what attracted Jesus to Philip and why Philip was the only Apostle whom He invited Personally. Nobody introduced Philip to Jesus. Jesus Personally picked Philip for a reason. That reason, I believe, is that Philip somehow expanded His Consciousness by way of Philip's naive, Child~like simplicity and Honesty.
I'm just not a Fan of Bread: It's dry, It hardens, and Its Crumbs leave a Mess. My distaste possibly reflects how I really feel about Lukewarm Churches, these days. I could care less about the Body of Unbelievers.
I love Green Seedless Grapes, however. If I could eat Green Seedless Grapes forever, I would.
Clifford Fabro Rivera: What are Asian Noodles made from?
This happened on 2020 February 3rd (two days before Sixto Enriquez Rivera was gathered, we stopped eating Bread and Grapes together) after 3 and 1/2 years (I've had Sandwiches and Grapes since then, but It's not the same without Dad): And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering (Daniel 9:27);
If at all possible, I no longer write Prose, Poetry, or Notes. If it can be avoided, I don't travel through congested cities, I don't read Fiction, I don't watch Movies, I don't watch Television, I don't listen to the Radio, and I don't go to Public Gatherings without a succinct Message. Telephone Conversations are obsolete, since I much prefer His Bodiless Truth in Writing, these Fatherless days, in His Spirited absence.
ALCINO J. SILVA: Since decreasing CCR5 function leads to robust increases in plasticity and memory, CCR5 provides a novel target for cognitive enhancement, and for the development of treatments for cognitive deficits.
ALCINO J. SILVA: CCR5 is uniquely expressed in cortical neurons after stroke. Post-stroke neuronal knockdown of CCR5 in pre-motor cortex leads to early recovery of motor control. Recovery is associated with preservation of dendritic spines, new patterns of cortical projections to contralateral pre-motor cortex, and upregulation of CREB and DLK signaling. Administration of a clinically utilized FDA-approved CCR5 antagonist, devised for HIV treatment, produces similar effects on motor recovery post stroke and cognitive decline post TBI. Finally, in a large clinical cohort of stroke patients, carriers for a naturally occurring loss-of-function mutation in CCR5 (CCR5-Δ32) exhibited greater recovery of neurological impairments and cognitive function. In summary, CCR5 is a translational target for neural repair in stroke and TBI and the first reported gene associated with enhanced recovery in human stroke.
MUSTALI M. DOHADWALA AND JOSEPH A. VITA: Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of wine, grape products, and other foods containing polyphenols is associated with decreased risk for cardiovascular disease. 🍇

VANESSA BATES RAMIREZ: In CRISPR gene editing, scientists attach a synthesized sequence of guide RNA matching the target DNA sequence to the enzyme Cas-9 and introduce it into a cell’s nucleus. When the matching DNA sequence is located, Cas-9 cuts the DNA strand, and the cell then repairs the cut.
FAYDRA L. SHAPIRO: Reflecting on Jesus’s Jewishness in a serious way, and on the connection between the circumcised body of Christ and the bodies of the Jews being humiliated, intimidated and slaughtered in homes, in synagogues and in the streets today is a powerful part of that.
😇 You are the Brown Sugar of Paradise, but if the Sugar loses its Sweetness, how can you be made Sweet again? Refined Sugar is addictive, but ~ at the same time ~ Sugar sure makes Food hard to resist! It's actually the only taste that Humans are born desiring, so be sure to avoid hardening your Heart for a long Suite life,,, 😇
A Chariot of Fire and Horses of Fire were summoned and parted them both asunder. Sixto went up by a Whirlwind into the Heavenlies.
Clifford didn't see It and in Shomron he cried, "My Abba Father, the Chariot of New Jerusalem and the Horsemen thereof!" He saw him no more and he took hold of his Shirt and Rent It some more into two pieces, Mourning.
He took up the Robe of Sixto that fell from him, went back, stood by the East Bank of the Jordan, and smote the Riveras into Streams.
He went from thence unto Tsarphat and as he was going up by the way, no little children out of the City mocked him this time, saying, "Go up, thou Bald Head! Go up, thou Bald Head!" But his Head remained Bald and uncovered, as Ashes fell to the ground at Taal Volcano.
There is a poverty that we must accept, that of our own being, and a poverty that we must seek instead - a concrete one - from the things of this world, in order to be free and to be able to love. #GeneralAudience#Beatitudes
I'm fine with Good Samaritan Hospital being Roman Catholic. I'm glad a Roman Catholic Priest answered Mercy's call to offer prayers for Sixto Enriquez Rivera at Good Samaritan Hospital.That's where Nephew Phoenix Micah Khan was born. Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle's Silence and Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Soft Diplomacy on 2020 February 5th are noted.
SHMUEL SIMENOWITZ: Arguably, no other Torah portion is as intimately aligned with water as Parashat Beshalach. From the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, to the sweetening of the bitter waters at Marah, to the rock at Refidim giving forth water, Beshalach oozes at every juncture.
A Eulogy is not my idea of an Oscar Speech. A Funeral is not my idea of the Rapture. Valentine's Day is just two days away, so I'll begin this Quasi~Sermon by emphasizing this: It's not how you live that matters, it's how you die.
On 2001 September 11th, Dad was driving me to a Job interview in New York City. As always, Abominable Traffic. We didn't make it across the George Washington Bridge. From the Toll Booths entrance, N.Y.P.D. frantically motioned to us to turn back around. From the West Side Highway ~ across the Hudson River ~ we witnessed the Twin Towers on fire. I turned on the Car Radio and knew immediately the United States of America was being invaded. Dad was calm enough to keep driving. My Job interview was rescheduled in a Moldy Office. Unfortunately, I was not hired.
The Greatest of those American People stuck up those Skyscrapers had Costly Hobbies, Salaries, Rent, Mortgage, Bills, Debts to pay, but they won't be remembered by those superfluous things. We'll Memorialize how they were Martyred in those Superficial Institutions like Burnt Offerings.
The Nations watched as Americans were changed on 9/11, but not much has changed since then. To quote Aaron Fink, in regards to the selling of Grace Baptist Church in Nanuet: We recognize that "Change" is always something that can be disconcerting. Spring Valley Upstate in Rockland County looks unrecognizable. Doesn't It? I'm cognizant of the Town of Ramapo being the Twin City of Beit Shemesh. Y'all should, too. I have fond memories of East Jerusalem.
Worldly Americans are in Denial. Worldy America refuses to acknowledge their Babylonian Captivity. Worldy American churches are being converted into Lofts or Temples. It's what happens, when there is no genuine repentance.
There was another time Dad was at the Wheel. He always drove at or near the Speed Limit. Suddenly, there was Engine Trouble on the Garden State Parkway. He calmly pulled over. Panicked, I ran out of the Passenger Seat, leaving him behind. We survived, but we learned a sobering lesson: We stopped running.
Psalm chapter 23 verse 6 in the English Standards Version reads: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Dad didn't speak English well. He didn't speak very much at all, outside of work and socializing. His Silence taught me to listen. In a House, where's It's just you, Dad, and Mom, besides the Pet Canine, there's not much to talk about. There's a whole Lot of Space to just think, love, and feel.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible Commentary reads: It is clear that the spear pierced to the region of the heart. Mom somehow became allergic to Dogs, while I also learned you can't rely on Family and Friends, much less Professional Strangers, to keep the Blood flowing.
After Dad was Crucified, I wrote a Haiku a few days ago. It's really easy to remember. It goes:
Circumcise Your Mind;
Circumcise Your Heart of Stone;
Circumcise Your Flesh;
That Poem is dedicated to the Holy Family that comprises Father, Child, and Mother. You can refuse to believe It, but each of you inhabits one or more of those Nuclear One Child Policy roles. The expected mutilations are interchangeable and brings benefits to Undeserving Mankind, from the Greatest to the smallest. God is Least. I won't dwell on how we've each been physically altered to embody Salvation. It might seem cruel to be a Living Sacrifice, but that's what brought Rain, Snow Flurries, and Wind with brief periods of Sexy Sun for seven consecutive days, since 2020 February 5th. In Bible Codes, one day is equal to one thousand years of courtship. John prophecied that Pain, Death, Crying, and Mourning would be gone. I'm confident we shall achieve His individual and collective goals of Curative Healing, Everlasting Life, Unspeakable Joy, and Profound Happiness.
"He just slipped away," Mercy relayed to me over cellular phone.
Dad, I'm so sorry Mom and I couldn't be beside you that Mourning. I know the Hospital Morgue sucked. But know this: a handsome African Physician stood beside you just like Simon of Cyrene. You Did It Your Way. Libya is at Peace. You fed yourself Breakfast without any need of our Peter Pan antics. Based on its current trajectory, the Novel Coronavirus may infect millions of Animals, Humans, Surfaces, and Water Pipes, very, very soon. Your sudden bout of Mild Pneumonia wasn't in vain. I wish you could still be here with us for the Apocalyptic Spectacle and Rainbow Fireworks.
Mom and I are all ready receiving an abundance of complimentary surplus foods from family and friends, although I could drink more Fruit Juice. However, it'll be awhile before I shave my Head and eat Seedless Grapes with you, again, Dad. Until then, Occupy the Heavenly Cosmos for us. I promise to keep the Offices running smoothly, until Earth becomes New. The Holy Family shall continue to live on through the Microcosm of Anthony, Phoenix, and Mercedes. And as for me and our Bahay, we'll be sure to magnify the Broadway Commission by being Better at caring for Maturing Woods, refining Asherite~Levites, and guarding Royal Gardens in your Honor, as we bombard Persistent Sinners without their Knowledge.
Belated Tu Bi'shvat, Sixto Enriquez Rivera {Thank You, for your Presence};
Mahal Kita E.T.; Mahal Kita Godfather; Mahal Kita Superman;
DOV LIPMAN: Jewish tradition teaches ma’aseh avot siman l’banim – that which happened to the forefathers is a sign for what will transpire with their descendants. Nachmanides goes as far as saying, “Everything that happened to the fathers, happens to the sons” and “not one thing that occurred with the fathers won’t occur with their descendants.”
Exodus 20:11: For Six days God created the Seas, the Planet Earth, the Heavens, and everything that dwells in them. He rested on the Blessed seventh day.
Fondly known as Tito Estong or Itay, Sixto Enriquez Rivera the son of Pedro and Mercedes was born the Gregorian year 1946 on August 6th and was conceived 9 months before that.
Before OFWs (Overseas Filipin@ Workers) made It to the Middle East in the Gazilions, Sixto galloped from Lucena to America as a Dreamy Accountant, where he encountered a Nurse named Virginia in an Elevator in New York City. Although he didn't speak English much, but resembled Victor Wood, his Tagalog Curiosity matched her Ilocana Virtues. They would later marry, settle, and live the Suburban life Upstate in Spring Valley, New York in Rockland County in the Town of Ramapo, whose Twin City is Beit Shemesh.
He fed himself Breakfast, then soon, immediately, right after his daughter Mercedes (Mercy) gently said to "sleep" in his language, as if peering into Mother's eyes, Sixto Smiled and listened. Daddy was Peacefully gathered to his People on the Mourning of the Gregorian year 2020 on February 5th Wednesday at Roman Catholic Good Samaritan Hospital from complications of Diabetes, Heart Failure, Pneumonia, and two Strokes. Also, his Teeth were missing, his Eyes were weak, he was hard of hearing, he used a Wheelchair, and Walker, by the time he reached 73 years of Age. Cures are forthcoming because just as Jesus Christ the Leprous Son of God was lifted up on the Cross as the Bronze Serpent to absorb Mankind's Sins ~ from Generation to Generation ~ Dad obliged Him.
Mr. Rivera is predeceased by two Canines: A Black Mut named Black Pearl and a White Maltese named Rain; a Brown Spotted Shih Tzu named Cocoa roams the streets Somewhere on Is That An Island.
Sixto Enriquez Rivera Left Behind his Sisters Olivia R. Aldovino and Socorro R. Robles, his Wife Virginia Millano Evangelista Fabro~Rivera, their son Clifford Fabro Rivera, their son~in~law Anthony Hamid Khan, and their grandson Phoenix Micah Khan, as well as their daughter Mercedes (Mercy) Millano Evangelista Fabro Rivera~Khan, whom he Blessed many, many times for eternity and beyond,,,
With the Assistance of Reynaldo Correa, Sixto Enriquez Rivera accepted the Anointed {Maraming Salamat to Rafael Isidro Ramos for your Care.}. He did really, really love the Universal Church Body and always,,, Raise a Cup of Wine, chew on some Raisins, or eat Grapes in Sixto's Memory, and Never Forget the Monay and Pulutan. Mabuhay!
SLAVOJ ZIZEK: But this acceptance can take two directions. It can mean just the re-normalization of illness: OK, people will be dying, but life will go on, maybe there will be even some good side effects. Or acceptance can (and should) propel us to mobilize ourselves without panic and illusions, to act in collective solidarity.
YERACHMIEL TILLES: One of the classic halachic commentators, the Bach (Rabbi Joel Sirkes 1561-1640, in Yorah Deah, end of 217) strongly approved the practice of praying at one's ancestors' graves in times of difficulty, since their merit can intervene to help avert an unpleasant decree. Indeed, it is an almost universal Jewish custom to visit the graves of close relatives on the anniversary of their passing and to pray there.
The holiness of these gravesites is derived from the lingering connection of the soul to its point of final departure from the body after burial. This presence is especially strong on the tzadik's yahrzeit (anniversary of the passing).
HEIDI WEIMER: But what does it mean to LOVE Jesus the Orphan? What does it mean to love Jesus the Abandoned? It means that you do for Jesus the Orphan what you would want done to your own child.
Tim Madigan, I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers: I didn't ask him for his prayers for him; I asked for me. I asked him because I think that anyone who has gone through challenges like that must be very close to God. I asked him because I wanted his intercession.
MJL: According to the Jewish mystical tradition, souls can be reincarnated in different bodies if those souls have not completed their missions on earth. At the time of the resurrection, the individual soul will be split among the various bodies it once inhabited, and the portion of the soul whose mission was completed in a particular body will return to that body.
Ryan Johnson: In Hebrew gematria, the sacred name of God — YHWH (יהוה) = 26. 26 reminds us: Our destiny flows from the Divine Name, and our victory is rooted in covenant.
All prayers are unlisted, but archived as links, and visited occasionally, at no cost. Prayer requests are shared directly or indirectly vis-à-vis a public announcement. If you are requesting public prayer, please be sure to include the name of the person you are needing prayer for and be specific. If name is not provided or the request is unspoken, private prayers will continue as per your request, but public notice will not be made available. All prayers are invoked "In the Name of Jesus" or "B'shem Yeshua" ["בְּשֵׁם יְשׁוּעַ"].
Ezekiel 36:26 Reversed: I shall give you an Old Heart and put an Old Spirit in you; I shall remove from you your Heart of Flesh and give you a Heart of Feminine Stone.
