Japan: Devil's Sea

Miyake Island, 100 km south of Tokyo
Actually, there is a water in Japan is very dangerous for the activityshipping and aviation, the same danger with the Bermuda Triangle / Bermuda Trianglenamely Japan Devil's Sea / Sea Devils.These waters is a tranquil ocean area in the Pacific Ocean, 100 KMsouth of Tokyo, which lies between the island Ivojima and Miyake Island, butless well known than the Bermuda Triangle, perhaps because of the locationfar from mainland Japan.

Meanwhile, the Bermuda Triangle is very familiar to the American sailors, whoin turn claimed many ships and planes.Nevertheless, Satan Sea near the Japanese mainland was also responsible forloss of several ships and aircraft. Between 1950 and 1954, this areahas lost no less than 9 large vessel without leaving a trace.The Japanese government is very much concerned about this area, and announcedthat he merupakah dangerous area and should not be approached.In 1955 the Japanese government sent an expedition to bring a number ofexperts to the area by boat Kawamaru. UnfortunatelyKawamaru vanished without a message.

An American scholar, Ivan Sanderson, who is very interested in allstrangeness of it, trying to see the location of the Bermuda Triangle and Devil's Sea Japanin the map. Turns out he saw that the second region is located exactlyunderlined longitude between 30 and 40 degrees north of the equator, the extent of nearlysame (see map above).Through this conclusion Sanderson continued his observations on other matters,and he found that there are 12 regions in the world is like.Two of them at the north pole and south pole, while the other ten are dividedin two row, the first line is located at longitude 40 degrees nextnorth, and the second line is located at longitude 40 degrees southequator.Each separate place of about 72 degrees in latitude. PlacesThe addition on two poles north and south, among others, are the two areaslocated on land.One in uatara Great Desert of Africa, and another in the mountainsnorthwest India.Sanderson observed that most of these areas have a similar oneeach other, among other things, it lies within the region which meetshot and cold currents, and that tempat2 is seen as a point-node,because it directs the water flow up and down in the opposite direction, andwith different temperatures, can generate magnetic waves thatbe a culprit for all accidents itu.Akan but this theory Sandersonnot built upon a proposition.There is no proof whatever that the meeting of two streams of wateropposite directions and with different temperatures can produce a wavewithin the earth's magnetic.In addition, the theory also does not menginprestasikan Sanderson workings of "GraveSatan "which is located didaratan.Yakni, two dikutub north and south poles, whichThe third north of the Great Desert of Africa, and the fourth in the mountains of northwesternIndia.Furthermore, this theory fails to answer the question, why the shipswho become victims in places such as abandoned passengersonly, and where did they go? Then, what events that seem toothus frightening them, so they abandon ship?

Stigmata

For those of you who must know the Catholic religious stigmata of disease. For those of other faiths I will explain.
Stigmata is the name of the disease for the Catholic mystic who initially did not believe in Jesus / God and the ruler (Allah), they can become a holy man.
The disease is never told in a movie titled "Stigmata" is amazing but a devil worshiper woman who does not believe in god then for a couple of times experiencing strange events experienced by Jesus when crucified like:
First GenWomen are injured nail holes in her veins, exactly in the right hand or left. But strangely this woman just does not die in pain but
Second GenesisWomen such as sleep experienced such a strange feeling a sense of arrack. When he crosses his jesus d d give arrack.
The third incidentThese women experience bleeding that he patterned his head like a woman wearing a crown of thorns
The fourth incidentIn tiba2, women are like a demon and he can write letters the old days the letters used in Jesus' day
Genesis to fiveNot occur in these women because of the stigmata of disease, no one who suffered through five events. What is the fifth such incident? The incident was the incidence of stomach when Jesus was stabbed with a spear.»More Info Him ☆ ☆«
Stigmata is a sign of the wounds of Jesus on the cross, which appeared suddenly sec fig on a person's body. Included in these are signs of passion nail wounds in his legs and hands, the spear wound in the stomach, head injury due to crown of thorns, and stripes scourging wounds all over his body, especially on the back. A stigmatic, that is, those who suffer from stigmata, can have one, or several, or even all the signs were miserable. Dapat visible stigmata, or may not appear; can be permanent, may be just temporary.

Some people who do not believe, will connect the signs of such injuries, which appear on a person, with a disease or even with a psychological condition without thinking about the idea of the supernatural. Of course, the Church also first tried to ensure that the wounds are not from natural causes, and seek evidence to prove that supernatural stigmata is truly a sign from God. The Church also wanted to ensure that the stigmata are not a sign of the devil in order to evoke a spiritual tumult that is misleading people. Therefore, because of the stigmata is a sign of unity with our Lord on the cross, a truly stigmatic must live with the practice of virtues with courage, steadfast in suffering both physical and mental, and almost always reach the level of unity ekstasis with Him in prayer.

Sign of the stigmata wounds of the right itself is also different from injuries arising from the disease: the true stigmata, in accordance with the wounds of our Lord, while the wounds arising from the disease will appear randomly on the body. Stigmata is correct, blood shed especially on those days where dikenangkan Passion of Jesus (eg on Friday and Good Friday), while the wounds arising from the disease is not the case. Stigmata is correct, blood radiates a clean and pure, while those arising from blood transmitting diseases accompanied by pus. The blood that poured from the true stigmata, so time can be emitted in large quantities without harming the stigmatic, whereas that derived from the disease will seriously weaken the person until the required blood transfusions. Stigmata is true, can not be cured either by medical or other treatment, while those arising from curable diseases. Lastly, the true stigmata, appeared suddenly, while those arising from the disease appear slowly according to time period and can be connected with the cause of major psychological and physical.

The stigmatic correct, experiencing the shock over the appearance of stigmata. This sign is not something they "beg in prayer." Moreover, in humility, they often try to hide it so as not to attract attention to himself.

The first stigmatic "which declared illegal" is St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226). In August 1224, he and several other Franciscans traveled to Mount Alvernia in Umbria, near Assisi, to pray. There, the St. Francis begged to be allowed to take part in the passion of Christ. On the Feast of the Holy Cross, September 14, 1224, St. Francis had a vision: he is embraced by Jesus on the cross. Good Friday Passion of the first poured on him, and he received the stigmata. St. Francis tried to hide the signs of this divine gift from the others, with his hands wrapped in his mantle and wearing shoes and socks (which he normally does not do). Over time, his fellow monk noticed a change in dress code of St. Francis and also his physical sufferings, then revealing the secret of stigmata. In the end, on the advice of his fellow monks, St. Francis began to let the stigmata visible to others. St. Francis said, "There's nothing that gives me comfort is so great other than ponder life and passion of our Lord. If I live until the end of time, I'll never need another book. "Of course, the love of St. Francis to our Lord on the cross, which is expressed through its attention to those who are poor and suffering, bringing the gift of the stigmata for him.

St. Catherine of Sienna (1347-1380), who was awarded the mystical experiences and visions since she was six years old, was also awarded the stigmata. In February 1375, when visiting Pisa, he took part in a Mass at the Church of St. Kristina. After receiving Holy Communion, he was immersed in deep meditation, while his eyes stared intently at the cross. Suddenly, the cross came from five blood-red rays which pierced her hands, legs and stomach, causing tremendous pain great until he fell unconscious. St. Catherine of Sienna receives the stigmata, which is only visible to him alone, until after the end of his life.

Perhaps the most famous stigmatic Padre Pio was St.. He was born in 1887, was awarded the visions since her age was five years old, and from an early age has decided to devote his life to God. Padre Pio entered the convent of the Capuchin Franciscans in 1903 and was ordained a priest in 1910. He said, "I'm burned out by the love of God and the love of neighbor."

On August 5, 1918, Padre Pio had a vision in which he felt he was stabbed with a spear; after injury due to stab the spear was stayed on her body. Then, on September 20, 1918, when he prayed thanksgiving after Mass, he also received the wounds of our Lord in both legs and hands. Every day, Padre Pio lose about one cup of blood, the wounds were never closed or worse. Similarly, instead of the smell of blood, but the fragrant smell emanating from his wounds.

Throughout his life, Padre Pio understand the true magnitude of the passion of our Savior from their hands inside and outside the church, also due to the devil. However, Padre Pio said, "I was merely a tool in the hands of God. I was useful only if it is controlled by the Divine Mover. "Stigmata Padre Pio lived in the body until his death. Pope Paul VI said of him, "Look, how masyhurnya him, how the whole world gathered around him! But why? Is it possible because he was a philosopher? Because he is wise? Because he is proficient in service? Because he said Mass humbly, heard confessions from dawn till dark, and - not easy to say it - it is he who bears the wounds of our Lord. "

Not many of the saints are blessed with the stigmata, and those who dianugerahinya, like St. Francis, St. Catherine and St. Padre Pio, deeply understand the passion of our Lord. While the stigmata may arouse our sense of wonder, the sign itself and those who are suffering should be an inspiration for us in the pursuit of a more intimate union with our Lord, especially with frequent confession and welcome the Holy Eucharist.
