Letters Reveal Mother Teresa's Secret

       CBS news kaw hti hkrup ai mau na zawn nga ai Mother Teresa na lam hpe share galaw dat ai.

        

 In life, Mother Teresa was an icon — for believers  of God's work on Earth. Her ministry to the poor of Calcutta was a world-renowned symbol of religious compassion. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 

In a rare interview in 1986, Mother Teresa told CBS News she had a calling, based on unquestioned faith.

         "They are all children of God, loved and created by the same heart of God," she said.But now, it has emerged that Mother Teresa was so doubtful of her own faith that she feared being a hypocrite, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.In a new book that compiles letters she wrote to friends, superiors and confessors, her doubts are obvious. 

            Shortly after beginning work in Calcutta's slums, the spirit left Mother Teresa. 

"Where is my faith?" she wrote. "Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness... If there be God — please forgive me."

           Eight years later, she was still looking to reclaim her lost faith.

"Such deep longing for God… Repulsed, empty, no faith, no love, no zeal," she said.

As her fame increased, her faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask.

"What do I labor for?" she asked in one letter. "If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true."

 "            These are letters that were kept in the archbishop's house," the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk told Phillips.

The letters were gathered by Rev. Kolodiejchuk, the priest who's making the case to the Vatican for Mother Teresa's proposed sainthood. He said her obvious spiritual torment actually helps her case.

"Now we have this new understanding, this new window into her interior life, and for me this seems to be the most heroic," said Rev. Kolodiejchuk.

According to her letters, Mother Teresa died with her doubts. She had even stopped praying, she once said. 

The church decided to keep her letters, even though one of her dying wishes was that they be destroyed. Perhaps now we know.

A RETROSPECT ON MISSION AMONG KACHINS

PROLOGUE

              Kachins and Mission, two different words came to meet by the intended plan of

God over 120 years ago – a small kairos1 happened in Kachin History. That was,

actually, the Light in the Jungle – mountain-dwellers, Kachins had chance to see the

light from and within the darkness of uncivilized society. It was also one of the rapid

vertical interventions of God into the horizontal history of time line. Along with this

revelation of God, the interaction responded by Kachins, through laughter and pain,

could be found until today – to carry out the missio dei.2 Being a lesson for the future

mission of Kachin, at the same time, there are still some renovations which will be

found out in the following presentation – need to replenish and think from the corner of

modern mission perspectives retrospectively.

MISSION STARTED

               Factually, there was no word, Kachin or Mission among them until and shortly

after 1830 A.D. Only after January 27, 1837 on which the American Missionary,

Eugenio Kincaid arrived in Bhamo and shortly after, about Kachins first turned up in

his Journal. It is said that:

... in the distant highlands are multitudes of Kakhyens [Kachins], a people who

from time immemorial have resisted idolatry. What a field this is for the

evangelist! What man, who feels for his fellowman, would not like to gird on the

armor of God, and labor for the establishment of Christ's kingdom here?

(February 9, 1837, in Baptist Missionary Magazine 1838:246).3

This was a very hopeful point for Kachins and, at the same time, something

very mournful as well. This is both the first step of a ladder to get gospel and the first

step to abandon the precious traditions that had been created and given to Kachin from

the prehistoric time. Actually, the first mission among Kachins was started by Albert J.

Lyon who arrived in Bhamo on February 13, 1878. Unfortunately, he had to lay down

in Bhamo soil after a few months later of his arrival.4 With undaunted effort, another

missionary was sent by God: who was William H. Roberts arrived in January 12, 1879

one year after the death of Lyon. On an on, just before the end of 1890, Ola Hanson

reached Bhamo, and in two years after the arrival of him, 1892, George J. Geis arrived

in Bhamo.5 With best regards, their committed lives were beautiful in the sight of God

due to their committed lives, undaunted efforts, sweats, pains, sufferings, and other

barriers that had been overcome in the initiative of their mission. In that way, the seed

of Gospel rooted in the soil of Kachin Land – in either right way or wrong way – and yielded fruits.

FRUITS OF MISSION

                           The Gospel is the most obvious fruit of mission received by Kachins. In

addition, the lives of new Kachin Christians were changed in every walk of life –

especially in economic, agricultural, educational and health aspects. According to the

presentation of Herman G. Tegenfeldt, the missionaries told new Kachin believers to

move down to the plain where they can get more money by doing plantation. In that

way, new Christian villages began to emerge. Moreover, also in agriculture, fruits trees

like peeches, oranges, pomeloes, guavas, and custard apples became the popular

planted fruit trees given by the missionaries. In this rural uplift, Schools opened by the

missionaries became the most effective means of evangelism since the schools became

the fellowship doors for the children and their parents for good relationship. Next,

medical outreach by the missionaries also made the lives of the Kachins saved. In such

ways, the new Christian community was formed gradually and surely and the churches

already became self-supported churches. In 1965, no foreign missionary totally left in

Burma, however, the Kachin Baptist Church still carried on her own.6 Even after the

return of foreign missionaries, the fruit of the mission could be found – in 1977,

Centennial Jubilee was successfully celebrated at which 200,000 pilgrims attended.

The most prominent fruit was the 3/300 Mission of Kachin Baptist Convention

accomplished by Kachins themselves.7 Today, Kachins are doing mission among Hills

regions, China frontiers, "Wa"s, Rahkaings, and other regions they can outreach. No

matter how much they have been transmitting Gospel through history, the traditions

they have been using is less alternative so as from the first time use. Since the world is

ever changeable in every aspect, those traditions received and applied through history

are necessarily needed to be changed.

TRADITIONS RECEIVED

                   Preaching the Gospel, Evangelizing, Casting way Evil Spirits, Destroying Nat

Symbols, and Witnessing were, perhaps, the crucial traditions received from the foreign

missionaries. Bertil Lintner said that the Kachins may well have been fierce warriors,

and they still considered themselves servants of the ji nat – the Evil One – and believed

themselves to be living in a state of ignorance.8 More or less, it was true that the

Kachins were under the control of the Spirits. When the Gospel came to them, then,

what encountered was Casting evil spirits and destroying the symbols of Nat

Worshipping. After having demolished all the nat-related things, what injected into the

blood of Kachins were the so-called prayer, sermon, western hymns, western music,

and all ritual things related with western traditions.

Under the banner of sowing gospel, unwittingly done was plugging out the

precious cultural heritages. As soon as a person becomes a Christian, s/he is no longer concerned with all the things done by the Nat Worshippers.9 Actually, Manau Dance,

Htawng Ka (Long Drum Dance), Kabung Dum (Funeral Dance), and others like such

dances are less influenced by the Nats. However, as the foreign missionaries claimed,

the dances were more or less affiliated with Nats but not absolutely. This is the culture

of the Kachins, the identities of the Kachins. If all these cultural things extinct, what,

then, be the identity and nationality of Kachin. In that way, some cultural values might

have been extricated from the history of Kachins. There had been a long period in

which no Kachin folk tune was allowed to conduct in the church. Only after

advocating and lobbying for some extent of time – several decades, Kachin folk tunes

and other festival like Manau Dance were allowed to be held by the Kachin Christians.

It was so close that the precious cultural traditions were nearly buried along with the

process of converting. On this view, J. Andrew Kirk also reminds that, more or less,

missionary work is often seen as involving the destruction of indigenous cultures and

the implantation of foreign ones.10

Next, not only in Kachin Mission but in contemporary mission trend also, the

word evangelizing played a crucial role in doing Mission. John Stott said that whether

they have heard gospel or not, whether even they have been baptized or not, people

must be evangelized.11 In this sense, in the concept of missionaries, when it comes to

Mission, only evangelizing is the first prompt. Therefore, the fruit of the mission, even

3/300 Mission of Kachin Baptist Convention also only emphasized on Evangelizing,

converting and casting Nats even though they called their work as mission.12 This

trend of mission has persisted for several decades and in the concept of Kachin, such

steps of evangelizing first, casting Nats second, and converting third were minted

miserably. In openness, there are quite relevant approaches which could have been

really effective in mission among Kachins for the foreign missionaries. There is a

saying goes "First know what kind of soil before you sow" likewise "First know what

the truth of the Kachins is before you implant the Gospel". In the following topic, the

real nature of Kachins is presented for the sake of God's will upon the precious culture and tradition of the Kachins which could be the basis for the further mission done in the

present and to be done in near future by Kachins.

and tradition of the Kachins which could be the basis for the further mission done in the

present and to be done in near future by Kachins.

BETWEEN TODAY AND TOMORROW

                  Today, not only Kachins but all other nationalities also are under the influence

of the third wave – information technology. In every aspect of life, new ones come in

and old ones go out.14 Even though the western traditions have been protested for a

long period, anyone cannot avoid this event. Jeans become global; Rock Music

becomes unifying music, and Burger and J-Donuts become world wide food, Fancy

things can be seen on every finger of ladies and men. At the same time, there are still

many poor people in the hill regions who are finding their fortunes by applying every

kind of job no matter what. They do not know what the consumerism is. They do not

care what is happening around them. What they care is to fill their stomach. Also

among Kachin Communities, these two kinds of layers can be seen. The elites group is

getting well-to-do more and more, on the other hand, the poor group is getting poorer

than ever. The balance between these two groups is not proportionate. This is what the

problem for the Missionaries today. Should they still use the traditions received from

the missionaries from the past century? Moreover, there are still many tomorrow that

will be carrying new more things. The gap between the have and have not is widening

day by day; it obviously spotlights that the missionaries under the third wave should be

fully flexible, adaptable and very serious in finding out what the truth of the

community, society is. So far, how the mission took place among Kachins has been

revealed. The enthusiastic efforts, perseverance, and committed lives are the corner

stones for the new missionaries who are going to fulfill missio dei to make prominent

kairos, at the same time, new methodologies, and approaches by finding the truth of the

target communities, societies must be searched out as well.15

EPILOGUE

                        "  Ethnic and Cultural distinctiveness thus reflects the rich diversity of

human life and allows people a sense of security in being able to identify with a

group of people with its own history, customs and traditions. The loss of such

association (rootlessness) can lead to a crisis of selfhood and eventually to

personality disorders."

                           Even under the influence of the information technology age, important claim

from self-instinct of a person is his/her identity. Therefore, whether in the wealthy

community or poor society, trying to find the truth of that community is the main task

for today missionaries. The binding force of that society must be surely searched. Only

after the key point has been found, approaches and methodologies can be drawn out. At

the same time, missionaries today must find out the most necessary things for the target

groups – if poor group, encouraging message is needed. In this way of finding first the

truth – binding factors – of the focused group and then searching secondly the most

necessary thing in their lives would be true catalyst in making some more little kairos

in the history of time line in the light of re-disclosure of Mission among the Kachins.

Tips For Keeping the Peace

1. Slow down the action. Many fights and arguments get out of control very fast. Before reacting, take a deep breath, count to 10 to buy time to think. If possible, find a way to excuse yourself from the situation for a moment so that you can collect yourself.

2. Listen well. Don't interrupt. Hear the other person out. Making eye contact, nodding, and saying "uh-huh" are ways to show you are listening. It helps to paraphrase or state in your own words what you hear the other person saying.

3. Give the other person the benefit of the doubt. In a conflict between two people, each person has feelings, each person has a point of view. You may not agree with the other person, but try to understand where s/he is coming from. Ask open-ended questions to get information about how the other person sees things. Try to listen with an open mind. If you see that you have done something wrong, don't hesitate to apologize.

4. Acknowledge the other person's feelings. When people believe they've been listened to, they generally become less angry and more open to listening to what the other person has to say. Statements like "I can see you're angry" or "You really feel strongly about this" tend to diffuse the anger and open up communication.

5. Be strong without being mean. Express your needs and your point of view forcefully, but without "dissing" or putting the other person down. Use "I-messages" to communicate how you are feeling rather than "You-messages" that put the blame on the other person. Name-calling, blaming, bossing and threatening tend to block communication and escalate conflict.

6. Try to see a conflict as a problem to be solved, rather than a contest to be won. Attack the problem, not the other person. Try to get away from fighting over who's right and who's wrong. Ask instead: What do I need? What does the other person feel they need? Is there a way we can both get what we want?

7. Set your sights on a "win-win" solution. In a win-win solution, both parties get what they want and come away happy. This requires good listening on both sides and creative thinking. If a win-win solution is not possible, you many have to settle for a compromise, where each person gets something and gives up something. A compromise is a lot better than violence.

8. If you don't seem to be getting anywhere in solving a conflict, ask for help. Of course, you'll need agreement from the other person that help is needed and you'll have to agree on who the third party should be. But a third party can be helpful. Try to find someone who is a good listener. Tell the third party their role is to help the people in the conflict talk with each other, not to take sides.

9. Remember that conflict, handled well, can lead to personal growth and better relationships. Try to see the conflict as an opportunity. Working through the conflict with a friend can lead to greater closeness. Hearing other points of view can introduce us to new ideas and increase our understanding of ourselves and other people.

10. The true heroes and sheroes of today's world are not the Rambos. They are those who have the courage and intelligence to deal with conflict in creative, nonviolent ways.

10 Causes and Cures of Unhappiness

One of the quickest ways to spread the sunny rays of happiness over your life is to directly confront the negative attitudes darkening your doorstep. While neither universal nor all-encompassing, the joy-stealing attitudes and corresponding cures listed below are common enough to warrant a thumbtack on the wall of many lives.

1. Jealousy: Destroy the green monster by celebrating the successes of others. If your friend succeeds, celebrate his victory as your own; if your enemy succeeds, remind yourself that jealousy is self-defeating, pointless, and merely extends an enemy’s power over you.

2. Persecution Complex: Recognize that persecution is irrelevant, since you (and only you) control the outcome of your life. Every person has a stack of obstacles placed before him; success hinges upon your ability to overcome the obstacles in your path, persecution or no.

3. Lack of Accountability: We may not control every bad thing that happens to us, but we do control how we react to those bad things. Instead of passing the buck, take responsibility for every failure so you can learn and grow.

4. Perfectionism: Stop nit picking. Perfection is rarely attainable and seldom necessary. You’re a person, not a robot. Use the 80/20 Rule whenever appropriate.

5. Excessive Reasoning: Man is blessed with a marvelous and astounding ability to reason. At its best, this ability facilitates accomplishment; at its worst, it causes spirals of perfectionism, over-thinking, and paralysis by analysis. If it’s clear you’re in a situation that cannot be improved through logic and reason, learn to let go.

6. Negativism: Remind yourself that there are just as many positive forces in the world as negative ones; your fixation on the negative is a matter of perspective and choice.

7. Assuming the Worst of Others: There is a fine line between guarding against a realistic threat and being needlessly defensive. Make sure you haven’t crossed that line. Whenever possible, give people the benefit of the doubt.

8. Low Self-Esteem: Raise your self-esteem by recognizing your accomplishments and positive qualities; further boost it by correcting the problem areas that drag you down.

9. Low Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy is defined as faith in your ability to achieve a desired outcome. To overcome low self-efficacy, master the skills required to reach your objective. Practice, practice, practice.

10. Feelings of Meaninglessness: Inject meaning into your life by learning to follow your passion: that internal compass, guiding you toward fulfillment.

Ten strange Facts about Newton

Post nnan ka na ngu myit taw tim hpa baw post ka na nlu myit na blog langai kaw hti hkrup ai hpungtang hpaji ninghkring Issac Newton a masha nau nchye ai facts ni hpe bai.. publish galaw dat ai.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was the greatest scientist that ever lived. More than any other person, Newton was single-handedly responsible for laying the the groundwork in classical mechanics, optics, and even mathematics. Landing man on the moon? Don’t look at Einstein - it was all done with Newtonian physics.
Not many know about the man behind the science. For example, did you know that Sir Isaac was an alchemist? Or that, like Einstein, he didn’t have a very promising start? Or that he was obsessed with the Bible and tried to predict Armageddon?
Read on for more obscure facts about the life of Isaac Newton, the world’s greatest scientist:

1. Baby Newton Wasn’t Expected to Live
In 1642, the year that Galileo Galilei died, Isaac Newton was born prematurely on Christmas Day*. Named after his father, who died just three months before he was born, Isaac was a very small baby not expected to survive. His mother even said that Isaac was so small that he could have fit inside a quart mug.

2. Newton Almost Became a Farmer
Newton was born into a farming family. When he was 17, his mother insisted that he returned from school to run the family farm! Thankfully, Newton was a bad farmer and not long afterwards, his uncle successfully persuaded his mother to let him attend Trinity College in Cambridge instead.

3. Newton and His Apple: The True Story
The story (popularized by Voltaire, no less!) said that Newton was inspired when he saw a falling apple while walking around his family’s garden at Woolsthorpe Manor, to formulate his theory of universal gravitation (some version even claimed the apple fell on his head!).
Newton himself actually said that he was staring out the window in his house when he saw an apple fall from a tree.
Whatever happened to the tree? The King’s School in Grantham, Linconshire, England, where Newton went to school, claimed to have purchased the tree and moved it to its garden. Naturally, this is a bone of contention with the Woolsthorpe Manor people who are currently in charge of the upkeep of Newton’s home (now a historic site).

4. Newton was Secretive - He Rarely Published
There’s no doubt that Newton was brilliant, but what is not commonly known was that the majority of Newton’s discoveries were made between his twenty-first and twenty-seventh years. Yet, he didn’t disclose these findings to the world until years later.
Take for example Newton’s work on optics: his ground-breaking experiments on the nature of light (that ordinary white light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors) were done by 1669, when Newton was just 27 years old.Yet, he first presented his findings to the British Royal Society three years later, when he was elected as a fellow. (Source: Hart, Michael. (1998) The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History)
Newton’s secretiveness had led to many quarrels over credit. For example, when mathematician Gottfried Leibniz [wiki] published his work on calculus, Newton countered that he had invented methods for that branch of math many years previously but didn’t publish, thus sparking one of the largest controversy in mathematics:

5. Newton was Deeply Religious …
Newton’s work, particularly the laws of motion [wiki] and universal gravitation [wiki], had been used by some people to argue against the existence of God. Newton himself, however, said:
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done."
"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being. … This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called ‘Lord God’ [pantokrator], or ‘Universal Ruler’. … The Supreme God is a Being eternal, infinite, absolutely perfect."
"Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors."

6. … But, He Didn’t Believe in Satan or the Holy Trinity
In spite of his deep religious conviction, Newton was unorthodox when it comes to his belief of the devil, spirits and ghosts. He also assailed people who claimed to be tempted by personal demons as deluded by their own imaginations.
This might seem like a reasonable position for a man of science, but in that era, the reverse was actually true: most learned men believed in the existence of Satan, and considered Newton’s view as blasphemous.Newton also wrote a thesis arguing against the Council of Nicaea [wiki] and the Church’s doctrine on the Holy Trinity. Realizing that his position would not be accepted by the public, Newton never published this thesis in his lifetime. Indeed, it was released 27 years after his death.

7. Newton Was Obsessed with the Bible
The Bible was Sir Isaac’s greatest passion - he wrote more about religion than about science and mathematics! Indeed, Newton calculated the date of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ as April 3, A.D. 33 and the earliest date of the Apocalypse as 2060 A.D.
Whether you believe that Newton is right or wrong about the end of the world, consider another one of his predictions that came true: that the Jews would return to Israel.
Newton actually did more than just calculate the date of Crucifixion and the coming Apocalypse - his obsession was trying to find hidden meanings in the Bible. Indeed, Newton learned Hebrew, spent half his life, and devoted much more time to this pursuit than to science. (Source: Armageddon Online)

8. Newton was an Alchemist
A recently rediscovered papers of Newton revealed his secret interest in alchemy (of turning base metal into gold) and that he wrote extensively about his experiments:
Newton’s alchemical studies were kept secret during his lifetime. The making of gold and silver was a felony under an act of 1404.
Newton was a creature of his time when many scholars believed in a philosopher’s stone that could transmute base metal into gold. They tended to record their studies in wilfully obscure language.
"Give me leave to assert as my opinion," wrote the man who identified the wave nature of light and formulated the laws of motion, "that it is effectual in all the three kingdoms & from every species may be produced when the modus is understood: only mineralls produce minerals & sic de calmis. But the hidden secret modus is Clissus (1) Paracelsi (2) wch is nothing else but the separation of the principles thris purification & reunion in a fusible & penetrating fixity," Newton wrote. (Source: Guardian)

9. Newton Battled Counterfeiters
In 1696, Newton became a warden of the London Mint and was given the task of stopping counterfeiting, which was rampant in those days:

He gathered much of that evidence himself, disguised, while he hung out at bars and taverns. For all the barriers placed to prosecution, and separating the branches of government, English law still had ancient and formidable customs of authority. Newton was made a justice of the peace and between June 1698 and Christmas 1699 conducted some 200 cross-examinations of witnesses, informers and suspects. Newton won his convictions and in February 1699, he had ten prisoners waiting to be executed. He later ordered all records of his interrogations to be destroyed.

10. Newton the Politician Uttered Just One Sentence
Newton was elected as a Member of Parliament in 1689 and served for exactly one year. During that time, he said one and only one sentence during the lengthy proceedings: he asked a nearby usher to close an open, drafty window!

1. Actively listen, fight your minds urge to wander.

2. Ask the question: €œWhat is the speaker"€™s main point?

3. While listening, think of questions you may ask later.

4. Don'€™t let key points pass you by without gaining clarification. If you do, following the rest of the talk will be difficult.

Using the Six Modes of Thinking

Employ each of these when pondering a situation.

1. Objective Thinking
Detach yourself and use logic.

2. Critical Thinking
Look for all negative aspects.

3. Positive Thinking
Look for all positive aspects.

4. Creative Thinking
€œThink outside the box. Entertain all ideas and don'€™t question the ideas just yet, let them flow. Mind Maps are a good tool for this type of analysis.

5. Intuitive Thinking
Listen to your emotions.

6. Modal Thinking
Examine your personal biases towards the subject.

Evaluating Information

1. Watch for ambiguous language or undefined terms.

2. Examine the source and the authors background.

3. Look for generalizations.

4. Check how current the information is.

5. See if the facts are supported only by analogy.

6. Look for supporting evidence.

7. Where are the facts coming from?

                                       Miss You In A Heartbeat"  ( Def Leppard )

                              I believe that day there's something deep inside

                              It shouldn't be from time to time

                               I stare found out, thoutht love was such a crime

                               The more you care, the more you fall

                             No need to worry, no need to turn away

                             Cos it don't matter anyway

                                     Ooh.. I'd miss you in a heartbeat

                                      Ooh.. I'd miss you right away

                                Ooh.. I'd miss you in a heart beat

                             Cos it ain't love if it don't feel that way...... oh...

                                     When we touch, I just lose my self control

                      A sense sensation I can't hide

                                    To love is easy, it ain't easily to walk away

                                 I keep the faith and there's a reason why, ... yeah....

                          Now I ain't big on promises, but I'll be true to you

                    Cos I'd do about anything, for someone like yeah... baby for u

                             Oh.. no .. I miss you in a heartbeat

                                        Can't you feel my heartbeat? I'd miss you right away

                                            Yeah.. it's something deep inside.....
