Center on Wealth and Philanthropy

History

File:BCtypography2lines.png
The Center on Wealth is located at Boston College.

Located on the campus of Boston College, the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy (CWP) is a multidisciplinary research center specializing in the study of spirituality, wealth, philanthropy, and other aspects of cultural life in an age of affluence [3]. Founded in 1970, CWP is a recognized authority on the relation between economic wherewithal and philanthropy, the motivations for charitable involvement, and the underlying meaning and practice of care. Currently, the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy is conducting a survey entitled "The Joys and Dilemmas of Wealth" meant to explore the motivations for giving by people with more than $25 million in assets [4].

"Joys and Dilemmas of Wealth" Study

The CWP is conducting a study on households with a net worth of at least $25 million. A major goal of this study is to generate knowledge about the attitudes, practices, and personal philosophy of ultra high net worth households, especially concerning philanthropy. The CWP claims that this is the first substantial study of wealth holders at this level [5]. The study has been cited in the media due to the involvement of the Gates Foundation with the funding of this project [6].

Notable Staff

Paul Schervish, Director, was recently named to the Nonprofit Times' sixth annual "Power and Influence Top 50" [7]. John Havens, Senior Research Associate and Senior Associate Director, has been named three times to the Nonprofit Times' "Power and Influence Top 50" [8].

Messages from Michael - A channeled conversation with a teaching entity

Introduction

"Messages from Michael," written by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, is the first in a series of 4 books that chronicles a three decade long "conversation" between a group of friends and a channelled, spiritual teaching entity that has come to be known as Michael. As of November 2007, this conversation continues, as the Michael group continues to conduct closed sessions in the San Francisco bay area.

The cornerstone of this teaching is very simple: we live our lives to learn to make choices. Choices made, beget more choices. Choosing not to choose, is a choice. There are no right or wrong choices. Choices made free from fear open the person to a wider range of options, choices made under the influence of fear lessen the range of options. If fear is strong enough to compel one person to choose to take away another person's ability to choose, then karma is achieved. Eventually that karmic tie will be balanced, allowing for continued evolution of the soul.

Through this dialogue with Michael, a comprehensive framework of information has been amassed. This information has to do with countless topics including: the evolution of the human soul, the inter-connectivity individuals share, the different types of soul ages within humanity, world politics, the nature of the universe, karma, reincarnation and "the overleaves."

The Overleaves

"Overleaves" is a methaphorical term used by Michael to describe the various components of a personality system that can be likened to the 12 signs of the zodiac. Whereas the zodiac is based on 12 archetypal symbols, the Michael system of overleaves is based on the number 7. These metaphoric labels do not refer to social status or occupation, and carry with them meanings that are unique unto this system of study. No one overleaf is better, or worse. All overleaves are capable of helping a person achieve growth within their lifetime. The overleaf known as chief feature is the part of the personality where fear resides. Chief features work to convince us that it is good and necessary to be afraid. Overcoming chief feature's lies is another big part of the focus of the Michael related material.

The overleaves include:

    Soul Age Cycles - Infant, Baby, Young, Mature, Old (Transendental and Infinite occur beyond the physical plane)
    Level within the Cycle - There are 7 different levels within each soul age cycle; ie. 6th level infant, 7th level infant, 1st level baby, etc.
    Essence Type --  Slave, Artisan, Warrior, Scholar, Sage, Priest, King (slaves are not indentured servants, kings are not blue-bloods)
    Goal     -------  Retardation, Rejection, Submission, Stagnation, Acceptance, Growth, Dominance
    Mode  -------   Repression, Caution, Perseverance, Observation, Power, Passion, Aggression
    Attitude ------ Stoic, Skeptic, Cynic, Pragmatist, Idealist, Spiritualist, Realist
    Centering ----  Emotional, Intellectual, Sexual, Instinctive, Higher Intellectual, Higher Emotional, Moving
    Chief Feature -- Self-Deprecation, Self-Destruction, Martyrdom, Stubbornness, Greed, Arrogance, Impatience

Validating the Michael Material

There are differing accounts among those who have studied the Michael material, as to what sources of information are valid.

Since the late 1970's, the original Michael group has conducted closed, private sessions. And this group of Michael students maintains that the channellers associated with their group do not advertise, nor make a living channelling Michael. This core group of students views those who advertise and/or make a living professing to channel Michael, very skeptically.

There are many others who claim to channel Michael, and for a fee, customers can buy information that is purported to be channelled from Michael.

The information the original Michael group is receiving, differs from the information being generated elsewhere. It falls to each person to decide for themselves if they are associating with a valid Michael channel.

Regardless, there is a general consensus that the four "Michael Books" written by CQ Yarbro continue to be the most reliable sources of Michael related information. Over the years, there have been various online message boards and discussion groups that have been established by those who have found the Michael material featured in CQ Yarbro's writings to be of interest.

Ashake (Marvel Comics)

Template:Afc maybe VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 20:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Mutants

Ashake was an ancient Egyptian Sorceress who made her first debut in New Mutants #32. In her first appearance, she encountered the New Mutants Magik and Mirage. As a result of a teleportation malfunction, Magik and Mirage were sent back in time to ancient Cairo, Egypt, where they were immediately chased by Egyptian guards. They were rescued due to an illusion spell cast by Ashake. The sorceress then welcomed the young women into her home, where Magik immediately noted the Uncanny resemblance she had to Ororo Munroe. Ashake explained to the mutants that she is an ancestor of Ororo Munroe, saying she is her granddaughter although many generations removed. She also said that it was she who drew them back , stating that she felt them tumbling through time. After their discussion, Ashake offered them both sanctuary and a way to get back home. The next morning, Ashake used a guiding and teleportation spell to send the young mutants back to their time.

Mystic Arcana

Ashake’s New Mutants debut was later greatly enhanced and slightly altered for the magic-based mini-series “Mystic Arcana”. In this version, Ashake is seen as the creator of Tarot Cards, using them to find Magik and Mirage. Shortly after saving them, she gives them refuge, and while Mirage sleeps, Magik goes to find Ashake. Ashake then uses her one-on-one time with Magik to explain her matrilineal powers, her devotion to the Gods, especially Ma’at, and attempts to give Magik hope for the darkness within her. However, their talk is interrupted when Ashake senses the evil sorcerer, Heka Nut, coming for them. After cloaking Mirage in an invisibility spell, the two women attempt to hold back Heka Nut’s minions assault, but they fail and both are captured. While in captivity, Heka Nut informs them that he wants the Sword of Bone, a sword of raw power that is one of the cornerstones of creation. He commands the two women to get the sword for him, taking Ashake’s soul hostage to ensure a deal. Despite pleas from Ashake, Magik reluctantly agrees to the quest, and the two go on to fetch the sword for the sorcerer. Having retrieved the Sword of Bone, they then give it to Heka Nut. But since the sword only works for those of pure spirit, it transformed back to its original state, since it left Ashake’s hands and entered his. With Heka Nut distracted, Magik attacked him, severing him from his powers and freeing Ashake’s soul from his grip. But instead of killing him, Ashake explained that he was once a good man and mediator for the Gods, but that his power tempted him and the fault is not the “urn’s” but its maker. With his brilliant mind shattered, Heka Nut then aimlessly wanders off into the desert, and Ashake bottles his dark magic into a mystic urn, giving it to the sphinx Ammut for safe keeping. Wishing them well, Ashake uses a guiding spell, and sends the girls on their way.

Present Day Return

With Ian Mcnee gathering all of the cornerstones needed, he then, with the aid of Morgan Le Fey, Llyra, and Ashake, uses their power to restore Heka Nut, using himself as a vessel. But Oshtur is revealed to have really been Chthon in disguise, and says that now Heka Nut will consume Ian, making him his slave and the perfect vessel to bring the world to him. But Ian Mcnee calls for the aid of the Sorceress Morgan Le Fey, Llyra, and surprisingly, Ashake, who has literally flown through time for this final fight. Morgan Le Fey and Llyra proceed to bind Chthon, while Ashake reasons with Heka Nut, reminding him of the friendship they once had, and the man he once was. Heka Nut then remembers his past and that it was his jealousy of Ashake and Chthon’s promises that made him turn evil. Utilizing their strength, Ian and Heka Nut hold back the ritual, and Ashake frees Heka Nut with the Sword of Bone. Ian then banishes Chthon, but since one of the relics was of the Elder God’s power, Ian’s own soul was tainted and Ashake had not returned to her own time. Then, before their eyes, the true Oshtur appears and says that all hope is not lost, and that they should be proud and rest. She explains that Ashake is now present to help Ian, due to the fact that his soul is tainted and the cornerstones of the magic universe still must be saved. The book CROSSROADS is expected to continue with the journey of the two sorcerers.

Powers and Abilities

Ashake is a very powerful white magic sorceress. It was said in Mystic Arcana: Nico Minoru that she was trained by the very Gods themselves although her favorite appears to be Ma’at a.k.a. Oshtur. Ashake has displayed many different magical skills due to invoking the names of deities. Some of the known spell feats she has performed are invisibility, shield generation, illusion casting, premonition, telepathy, summoning the mystic creature Ammut, and the ability to see into the future via Tarot Cards. Ashake has only ever used white magic. Her spirit has been said to be pure and she has successfully wielded the Sword of Bone. She also possess the ability to fly.
