By means of the cloister, nuns embody the exodus from the world in order to encounter God in the solitude of “cloistered desert”, a desert which includes inner solitude, the trials of the spirit and the daily toil of life in community (cf.
In this way the cloister eliminates in large part the dispersion which comes from many unnecessary contacts, from the accumulation of images, which are often a source of worldly thoughts and vain desires, of news and emotions which distract from the one thing necessary and dissipate interior harmony.
The intention of this Instruction is to confirm the Church's high esteem for the wholly contemplative life of cloistered nuns, and to reaffirm her concern to safeguard its authentic nature, “that this world may never be without a ray of divine beauty to lighten the path of human existence”.

 Fall of man and Humanity's Origins
Note that merging of consciousness, such as the lost souls with the incarnating Cloister races, is not weird but very common, however, Earth people are not aware of it and, in addition, separation of consciousness in our society is emphasized.
The plan was for all five Cloisters to have the imprint of 8 strands of the 1 to 12-strand DNA, with strands 1 and 7 to 12 present in all of them.
However, although each incarnate originally lived in one body for the whole process, many members had digressed and had to reincarnate several times before completing the necessary assembly of their DNA for return to Tara.

 Subversive Orthodoxy
Incarnational belief is basic to a healthy Christian theology, spirituality and social action.
The idea that the Incarnation as it stands is incredible leads some to argue for a "remaking" or "rewriting" of this fundamental doctrine.
The Incarnation is the source of a true and materially based Christian mysticism, not the flight of the alone to the alone, but the raising of human nature to share the divine life through the materialism of the Incarnation.

 Washington College Magazine: Winter 2001
The cloisters, open courtyards surrounded by covered and arcaded passageways, serve as the focal points of the museum around which the remainder of the collection is displayed.
As we mingle, we notice the espaliered pear tree trained into the shape of a menorah flat against one wall and the varieties of medieval herbs that were used in cooking, healing, housekeeping, art, industry and magic.
Directly adjacent is the Trie Cloister, in which each column of the arcade is shaped from a different color marble and each capital represents a different Biblical scene or saintly legend.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thomas a Kempis
In these circumstances we find the explanation of the fact that Thomas was not clothed as a novice until 1406, at which date the cloister was just completed, nor ordained priest until 1413, the year after the church was consecrated.
The point is worth noting, as some writers in their eagerness to discredit the claims of à Kempis to the authorship of the "Imitation" have actually fastened upon the length of this period of probation to insinuate that he was a dullard or worse.
He was laid to rest in the eastern cloister in a spot carefully noted by the continuator of his chronicle.

[In cases where they do appear like the Incarnation cycles at Moissac and Vézelay, the emphasis is less on the narrative of the particular stories but on seeing these scenes as theophanies and thus prefigurations of the final theophany at the end of time.]...
The cloisters, the religious meditated constantly on these strange words; they were commented upon, repeated, illustrated.

 Fall of man III
In all cases the Cloister race is entered first (for DNA overtone development) and then the corresponding Root Race (with base tones) projected into incarnations on Earth.
The Aryans had DNA strands 1, 2, 3 plus the base codes (tones) of strand 4, and its Cloister had the imprint for 7 to 12; the overtones (electrical) would be added to the base tones (magnetic) of strand 4 during the incarnation (from the Cloister overtones).
The mixed Cloister race of 6 and 7, Hibiru/Melchizedek, became known as the Hebrew race, this genetic advancement was also carried by the Essenes (Melchizedek family), Christian lineages, and the Templar Melchizedek.

 Titus Brandsma: Carmelite Mysticism Historical Sketches: In the spirit and strength of Elijah
It is prescribed by the Rule that all members of a Carmelite Community attend the Holy Sacrifice daily and that the chapel be in the centre of the cloister, easy of access at all times, and that the Canonical Hours be recited in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
Being a mendicant Order, its churches and cloisters are plain and simple in their architecture, but in the adornment of their churches and altars poverty is not prescribed.
And it was because of this belief, according to the tradition of Carmel, that the old sanctuary dedicated to the Holy Maid was built on the mountain in the midst of the hermits' caves.

 ORAPHIM and the INDIGO CHILDREN
The Indigo Children are all incarnations of the Oraphim (there a 3 different types of Indigo’s), and they are incarnating now to help stimulate the general human gene code into a higher level of activation via reaching critical mass within the race morphogenetic field (scalar-template for matter manifestation).
Many people are beginning to awaken to their memories of incarnations in other space-time locations, and this is because human DNA is presently beginning to activate higher due to the Solar Light spectra changes of the 2000-2017 Stellar Activations cycle.
The Indigo Children-Oraphim incarnates, who have been entering incarnation on earth for over 100 years, are presently only 500,000 strong within our populations, they are beginning to remember who they are, and there are another 150,000 birthing in between 1999-2012.

 Kathleen Norris
The book is about how she learned to use religious words, such as "incarnation," "idolatry," and "evangelism." Norris is a feminist, a theological conservative, a sophisticate, and a country bumpkin.
When poet Norris (The Cloister Walk) found her way back into church in the early 1980s, she was unsettled by what she calls the "vaguely threatening and dauntingly abstract" vocabulary of the church.
Her poetic sensibilities internalize the monastery as a symbol of spirituality, with its sanctity and humor, questioning and uncertainty, rhythm and vigor.

We are a form of incarnation where the spiritual is made manifest in the material precisely in the transcending of self-interest.
It is for this reason Luther argued against leaving the world for the cloister, for this would be to abdicate one's calling to serve God against the forces of destruction present in the world.
The fundamental purpose of Christian education for Luther was the preserving of the evangelical message and the equipping of the priesthood of all believers for service in the church and the world.

 Dwight Longenecker - Author and Broadcaster
The Benedictine is not content until the whole world ‘is charged with the glory of God.’ This is incarnation taken to the radical extreme, and through it each Christian soul becomes the agent for the continual dynamic action of the Holy Spirit in the physical world.
The incarnational approach is powerful through the veneration of images and sensual liturgy of the East.
Benedict’s profoundly incarnational spirituality therefore bridges East and West, allowing Western Christians to better understand the Eastern mindset, and allowing the East to appreciate the dominant spirituality of the West.

While public areas occupy the church, the hotel's 60 guest rooms surround the cloister in the monastery—the original monks' cells have changed in form but not in function.
The monastery's central cloister garden was the one area of the project that Vos had difficulty envisioning a new life for.

He is the type of his generation; the leading influence in this vital, pulsating city; the centre of a brilliant concourse, alive with discussion and wit and social fascination.
He is sadly wanting in knowledge and science as Florence understood them, but his St. Francis, whether renouncing his worldly career, or giving his cloak to the beggar, or espousing Holy Poverty, really commends to us a type adequate and touching.
Sassetta's aim is to realize the personality of that seraphic, romantic soul who exalted poverty and self-sacrifice into an idyllic incarnation, which had power to inspire rapture rather than resignation.

 HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH*
The council of Nicaea is the most important event of the fourth century, and its bloodless intellectual victory over a dangerous error is of far greater consequence to the progress of true civilization, than all the bloody victories of Constantine and his successors.
It forms an epoch in the history of doctrine, summing up the results of all previous discussions on the deity of Christ and the incarnation, and at the same time regulating the further development of the Catholic orthodoxy for centuries.
This power is the principle of creation, and culminates in the incarnation, but after finishing the work of redemption returns again into the repose of God.

 Boca Raton Resort & Club
The resort opened in 1926 and has since evolved from its original incarnation with 100 rooms into Mizner's vision of a "village unto itself." While remaining true to its original DNA, Mizner's dream is now a full service, 1,043 room resort with five choices of accommodations in five distinct and separate buildings.
At a cost of $1.25 million, the Cloister was the most expensive 100 room hotel ever built at the time.

In the cloister the graces of poverty, confession, obedience, and peace are implemented.
The Shakers, remembered best for their artifacts and tranquility, were so filled with the Spirit that there was neither marrying nor giving in marriage and there was open confession of sin, community of possessions, pacifism, equality of the sexes, and consecrated work.
Their utopianism was also charismatic, with their dancing in the Spirit and the founder, Ann Lee, being such a unique prophet of God that she was actually the incarnation of the feminine side of deity.
