"[the Catholic scholar] must meet his adversaries on grounds which they understand and acknowledge...[he must discuss] each topic on its intrinsic merits -- answering the critic by a severer criticism, the metaphysician by closer reasoning, the historian by deeper learning, the politician by sounder politics and indifference itself by a purer impartiality. In all these subjects...[he] discovers a point pre-eminently Catholic, but also pre-eminently intellectual and true."
-lord Acton, the Munich School of Catholicism.

Symbols and Symbology
Taken from Inversehalo's Symbols and Symbology Part I...
"...In the book Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, Manly P. Hall says,
"Symbolism thus embodies most fully the requisites of the perfect medium of education. Every symbol is a definite stimulus to the mind, and has the delightful faculty of reflecting the moods of the mind attempting to analyze its parts. In other words, a symbol always means what we think it means."
By interacting with the collective unconscious of our own selves we find that as individuals, we all have the ability to ascertain knowledge from the deep recesses of our mind and soul. By using symbols, we can unlock that part of ourselves, and use that information to communicate and learn.
The psychological value objects have on the human mind, allow any symbol to transcend time, culture, and language. Anyone, anywhere can utilize the information of a sign regardless of pre-formal training on how to read a symbol. Therefore, symbols by value alone, are essential to institutions or societies simply because their knowledge is uniform to an idea and not to cultural verbiage or prejudices. All religious institutions value the usage of symbols to reveal to the participants en-doctrinated ideas as well as inspirational lessons..."

"Your Website is Dark and Scary..."
Over the past few months the Inversehalo organization has received complaints from others in the fields of Pro-life, the Priesthood, and other good people.
Their complaint, is that the Inversehalo website is "Dark, questionable, scary, sinister and UN-Christian...".
On our website anyone can find articles on our activity's which include
fighting abortion
fighting corruption and privatization
fighting an uneducated society
as well as...
our program to bring clothes to the homeless
our constant support of the Artists in St. Augustine
That's just some of the Christian material that we do support. Because our cause in the world is the same as any person who believes in a morally just society.
Inversehalo, invites you the viewers to compare us to some local abortion websites...
planned parenthood always seems happy...
this one almost calls out to the reader to be empowered and have an abortion...
nothing says "I'm killing innocents," better than pink colors and smiles...
Inversehalo, looks different because NO ONE with Inversehalo is lying, we have nothing to hide, and we believe nothing should be hidden.
Personally, we find it "Dark and Scary" that websites that promote killing children have flowers and pastel colors...
Aramal Malik once said to me,
"Don't judge an artist by what he paints, what he sees is truth to him and only him, try to see the Truth from his paintbrush..."

the Project Pythos Declaration Flyer
Last 4th of July weekend, the Inversehalo group distributed our "Declaration of Aggression" against all abortion providers. We targeted such areas as the Nombre De Dios, all Wal-Marts, the Mayport and Beaches areas, as well as anywhere in between.
This flyer is a first approach to our large scale campaign to fight the atrocity of abortion.

Being Prepared...
Being prepared for all the things we must endure in life is essential to our survival. The lessons we have learned up to now, help us conform to an understanding of how life (in part) works. Our experiences have tempered us with skills we apply to every facet of our future. Yet the genius of humanity is not built from experiences, but built from ingenuity. Even though our perception of reality is limited by our senses, our mind has the great gift of imagination and dreams.
We can visualize scenarios and outcomes that our senses cannot help us perceive. It is the gift that allows a painter to paint "true" beauty even though he has never seen it. The gift musicians have to write words and music that inspire all those around them. A gift that helps a child stay alive and have great compassion for others, even though abuse is all that child knows. Our abilities to daydream and imagine help us know more about our place in the unfathomable cosmic reality of the universe. Our faith in a better life, distinguishes our need to survive.
Our future is not dependant on what we have as "credentials", but what we have as hopes and dreams. The future of humanity is our clarity on life, and the value we have for our expectations of happiness and love.

A State of Suffering
Looking around ourselves we find the world to be in a state of suffering. Everyone we see has hidden troubles written upon their faces, and even the countries of the world seem to always be in a constant state of anxiety and depression. The world we see everyday when we turn on our televisions or read our newspapers is wanting to scream out for help--for someone to save it--yet it never does, simply because it's afraid that no one is out there to answer. The ways of the world today reflect the notion that salvation from God does not exist.
The main contribution to today's way of life, is the individuals lack of personal appreciation for their involvement and place in the world. No one takes the time today, to see the greater purpose of their day to day routines. Mankind's shortsightedness never allows him to see what he did today, saved or destroyed a life around him. We never really understand that a smile could save a persons life, and never acknowledging someone contributed to their death...
Thus, the world goes on in it's stress, because people don't see how much they really need each other.
When we start involving ourselves with the welfare of others we will have put God back into our lives and into the world. When we wake up with the idea, "Who's life can I change today?" instead of worrying about what bills to pay, we will have brought hope back to this civilization. Our effort to care about each other must be greater than our effort to satisfy ourselves and what we think are our own personal needs. Because, the needs of humanity involve all of us, but the gratification to ourselves only leads to our loneliness and to our troubles.
We should begin each day in personal reflection to the ideals of charity, benevolence, and happiness. Then go out into the world and try to implement those ideas instead of "personal goals"...
If all the stars in the sky can hold up the heavens, then all of us can hold up mankind.

An Inversehalo teaching, lesson 2
"We hold that no power ever comes to man through the intellect (the intellect being cold, while wisdom is of the heart and founded in love). We say that the adage "knowledge is power" is false; but that goodness alone is power and that that pertains to the heart only; hence that power comes only to the Soul through Love (not lust) but love, the underlying, primal Fire-life subtending the bases of being--the formative flowing floor of the worlds--the true sensing of which is the beginning of the road to personal power. Love lieth at the foundation and is the synonym of life and strength and clingingness."
