Unless I am reading it wrong, why would Happy Chaos be...'afraid' of Baiken? He doesn't look like someone with a lot of lose.
What few people know is, Japanese Heritage survivors have an innate connection to ancient Spiritual powers and by extension the Backyard... This all connects to "Ancient Martial Arts" which I referred to earlier.
Figure, if Nagoriyuki's sword could actually HURT someone like Sol Badguy, and Happy Chaos could replicate that in the form of bullets... imagine how that sort of power could be harnessed against Happy Chaos himself?
It was actually Justice who pointed out how "dangerous" the people of Japanese decent actually are, believe it or not... in fact it was Justice' early encounters with May and Baiken that first revealed this fact back during the Tournament of 2180.
Japanese Bloodlines carry a connection to Spiritual powers which in turn influence Backyard Residents or those who have "had" their bodies transformed by the Backyard (like Happy Chaos himself).
Even Ramlethal, with her massive RATTLE katanas could potentially pose a threat to Happy Chaos... in fact one of his lines is:
"This is why I HATE Katanas!"
Because Katanas were forged with holy ritual methods and blessed by deities, which means they don't simply cut on a physical level but sever beings on a SUPERNATURAL LEVEL.
Even Kum Haehyun's TUNING ability is deeply connected with these spiritual powers that Japanese people have practiced over hundreds if not thousands of years (even Jam Kuradoberi's Kenpou could be considered a ritualistic purification method).
In some capacity this also relates to the OutRage which Slayer carried... a Dagger that could potentially SEVER Gear Cells... in fact Most OutRage Instroment technology is BASED on sealing spiritual powers inside the technology... (e.g. "Fireseal" and "Thunderseal").
So yes, Baiken is actually one of Happy Chaos' WORST matchups, believe it or not... she could generate Ki and use a purified sword strike and literally KILL someone like Happy Chaos on the spot!
This is also why Chipp Zanuff informally referred to Chaos as a "demon"... because of his connection to the Backyard, but also because he could likely be slain like any other demon or spiritual entity.
How VERY fitting that the very tribe of people that Happy Chaos sought to wipe out would turn out to be his ultimate weakness...
Or perhaps it was for that very reason...? I'm sure he doesn't want us to come to any conclusions on THIS TOPIC in particular!

CONFRONTING SPIRITUAL OPPOSITION
 Acts 16:16  - "One day, as we were going to the house of prayer, we encountered a young slave girl who had an evil spirit of divination, the spirit of Python. She had earned great income for her owners by being a fortune-teller."
Paul and Silas were on their way to the house of prayer but were sidetracked in their path by a slave girl. The spirit of Python seeks to distract and then enslave. Its objective is to distract those on their way to prayer; those who are on their way to implement their CALLING. It wants to keep you out of the secret place through annoyances and disturbances thereby garbling your connection to God’s Spirit. It will throw circumstances and diversions your way to have you focused on the "noise" and in turn draw you away from going to the Father in prayer. Python operates through false prophecy and counterfeits. Verse 18 says: "She kept following us, shouting, 'These men are servants of the Great High God, and they're telling us how to be saved!'"
The spirit of Python will scorn you personally, it will mock the call of God on your life, and have you question if the dreams in your heart are possible. It will shout over you relentlessly until, just like Paul, you become weary and greatly frustrated. It will accuse you in the public forum and it will have people surround you with lies and judgments.
Python will also seek to expose you, strip you and beat you until you are raw (see Acts 16:22). Its intention is to rob you and divert you from your Kingdom advancing DESTINY; coiling its lies around your heart until finally you are enslaved in its chains, rendering you unable to produce Kingdom fruit that remains.. But you do not need to fear! "For greater is He within you than he who is in this world" (see 1 John 4:4).
KEYS TO VICTORY OVER THE SPIRIT OF PYTHON:
#1. SPEAK YOUR AUTHORITY
Refrain from speaking negatively about the circumstances around you. Don't be distracted by the noise of it.  Instead, focus on your Christ identity and declare your victory through His name. Paul showed us how to firmly turn towards the attack (see Acts 16:18) and ultimately away from the distraction; commanding it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:11 says, "They triumphed over him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony..." .   One of your greatest weapons is the word of your testimony. By declaring the name of Jesus, His Blood makes you (as a son or daughter of the Most High God) inherently victorious over the enemy every single time, but you need to SPEAK YOUR AUTHORITY.
#2. LIFT UP YOUR VICTORY SONG!
If you have been beaten down and the coils of despair have been strangling the life out of your dreams and hopes, then it is time to sing. Despite what circumstances have come against you, your song of worship to the Father is a warfare tool of Heaven to burst through the atmosphere of heaviness.  See rivers of living water flowing out of your heart towards the Father as you worship Him.
In Acts 16:24, we see Paul and Silas in the after-throws of their battle with Python, bound by their hands and feet in prison. The Passion Translation says they were "undaunted". They began to sing and it was their songs of worship that captivated an entire jail of prisoners. In verse 26, it tells us: "Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. All at once every prison door flung open and all the chains of all the prisoners came loose."
Your song of victory before the breakthrough comes literally shakes the foundations of the ground and sky; causing every chain that has restrained you to come unstuck and every door that has confined you to come unlocked. Psalm 108:2 says, "Awake, O my soul, with the music of His splendor. Arise my soul and sing His praises! I will awaken the dawn with my worship, greeting the daybreak with my songs of light!"
Your song will cause the light to burst through the night.
#3. SHAKE IT OFF!
In Acts 28:3, Paul encounters another snake, but this time a physical one. As he was gathering a pile of brushwood for the fire, a venomous snake latched onto his hand. In verse 5 it says, "But Paul shook off the snake into the fire and was unharmed."
Among the very few natural predators of a python is an eagle. They have distinct ways of attacking the snake—especially if it is in pursuit of eaglets in their nest. They will shake it vehemently or drop it from a great height. They show the snake no mercy—and neither should you!
Acts 4:31 gives us a confounding account of the manifestations of what prayer can do: "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly" .  Expectant prayer literally shakes off the attacks from your life and drops the snake into the fires of God.
All of the prisoners that were with Paul and Silas that day were set free; along with the jailer and his entire family who gave their hearts to Jesus. Your breakthrough is not just for you, but for others. Those around you who have been in captivity and are lost are meant to be freed through your breakthrough as well.
It is time to speak to the problem, turn your affections towards the Father, and command Python to leave in the name of Jesus!  As you pray and lift your songs of worship, you will see a breaking through of the night season and the shaking off of all that has been opposing you.

Sakya Pandita
"Rare are those who give helpful advice, rarer still are those who follow them. A skilled physician is hard to find, Those who heed his advice are few." —Sakya Pandita
Today is the anniversary of Sakya Pandita, one of the forefathers of the Sakya tradition and one of the throne-holders of the Sakya Monastery. Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyeltsen, or Sapan as he is affectionally known to his Tibetan followers, is perhaps one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers and scholars throughout Tibet. His iconic work, Sakya Legshe, or the "Treasury of Good Advice," a famous collection of aphorisms, has been fundamental to the development of Tibetan culture and character.
This painting was part of a set, and it depicts Sakya Pandita (1182–1251) with Chogyal Pagpa, his nephew and successor, shown here at his right. The folk stories surrounding Sakya Pandita became an important part of the Tibetan folk culture. One of these stories depicts the Mongol emperor Godan sending emissaries throughout Tibet to find the greatest Buddhist master. The emissaries found Sakya Pandita in the remote, humble Sakya Monastery, and took him to China forcefully, along with his nephews, Chogyal Pagpa and Drogon Chakna, to teach the emperor.
One of his major accomplishments was becoming the teacher of the Mongol court and saving Tibet from its brutal invasion. Due to this Sakya Pandita is an important example of how knowledge and wisdom can overcome political and military power for Tibetan followers. _________ Sakya Pandita (1182-1251) and Chogyel Phakpa (1235-1280) with Mahakala Lineage Masters; Central Tibet; 17th - 18th century; pigments on cloth; Rubin Museum of Art, Gift of Shelley and Donald Rubin; C2006.66.23 (HAR 695)

Spiritual Sight and Power (Acts 3:1-10)
It is not really money that gets things done. And it’s not our ingenuity or intelligence that really makes things happens.
Peter and John heal the crippled man, by Gustave Doré (1832-1883) Peter and John were going to the temple courtyard for the three o’clock prayer. At the same time, a man who had been lame from birth was being carried by some men. Every day these men would put the lame man at a gate in the temple courtyard. The gate was called Beautiful Gate. There he would beg for handouts from people going into…

We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood...
All of us, if we have lived long enough, are going to experience hard times in our lives. We are going to have dark days with doubts and fears increasing. Things are going to go wrong and sometimes we may even get damaged in the process. We will likely have some heartaches, troubles, challenging periods, and even trials that shake us to our very core. Some poor folks will endure events and…

Refuse acceptance of all human things or human limitations in your mind. Stop giving power to the appearance world of limitations and apparent chaos. Instead focus inwards, accept the Divine within and you will achieve the perfect mastery of your world.

Red Flag Symbols for Christians #3
Okie dokie, this being the very first blog series post of 2024 it'll focus on Healing Crystals and Gemstones. This is a big one! This phenomena has incredibly spread and continues to grow in our modern world, especially in America. It's become common place to see and purchase these dazzling rocks from anywhere you turn. Why and how has crystals become so in gross into our culture? Also is it true that crystals have healing properties? I've done some updated research to properly address and answer this questions.
My dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, I pray this series of blog posts help aid you in your own personally walk with the our Lord. These posts are only to help equip you to become more aware of this world's spiritual traps; never to fear it. To protect your mind and not possibly get tangled in the devil's web. Psalms 91:9-10, "If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home." Psalms 91:4, "He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection." In Jesus Name, AMEN!
Let's Begin.......

Do healing crystals really work? Fact or fiction? - by Laura Barry
What are crystals?
‘Crystals’ is the name given to a group of minerals or fossilised resins that are believed to have beneficial health properties. Holding crystals or keeping them on your person is thought to promote spiritual, mental and physical healing and energisation. Crystals are also thought to interact with your body’s energy field, or chakra.
Historical evidence of crystals being used in alternative medicines and rituals aside, there isn’t actually any scientific evidence to suggest these claims are true. In fact, modern science has actually proven the opposite, that crystals do not work.
In 2001, Goldsmith’s College psychologist Dr. Chris French gave crystals to 80 volunteers, along with an information book about their supposed mystic attributes. Half the participants had the real thing, while half were given cheap, plastic knock-offs, yet both groups reported to feel the tingly, feel-good vibes described in the book. A mere six participants in the study reported they didn’t feel a thing.
Dr Richard Wiseman, psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield and a researcher into paranormal claims, told the Telegraph UK in reference to the study that, "It is suggestive that the power of crystals is in the mind instead of in the crystals.

So basically the "source" of the healing crystal is through spiritual means. The origins and concept of healing crystals and gemstones has been tracked down into ancient time, even during the rein of the Egyptians. In more modern day use, these "tools" are believed to harness and channel energy to heal the body. Seen and used as a tool of medicine and therapy in many eastern cultures, and rooted heavily in Hinduism and Buddhism (referring to Chakra and Karma).
This article is from Times in India & has an interesting explanation....
The science behind healing crystals explained!
TNN / Aug 1, 2019, 19:00 IST
For the uninitiated, crystals (fossilized minerals) are believed to contain several healing properties. From bringing peace to the mind to fighting depression, the list seems to be endless. A lot of celebrities are using them and vouching for their efficacy. They have also been used in ancient forms of medicine and by priests to align the body chakras.
And now, using crystals as an effective form of practicing self-care is becoming incredibly popular. Scientifically, there is no science backing to the power of crystal healing in treating or curing conditions. However, using healing crystals can be very relaxing as they induce a sense of relaxation in the environment. But, do they actually work in treating medical conditions? 
According to experts, crystals act as a power hold for healing as they allow positive, fruitful energy to flow into the body and do away with the negative, toxic energy. Like other forms of alternative therapy, crystals work by channelizing your energy levels, thereby, focus on healing your body from the inside. Crystals also carry the power to induce a placebo effect in the body, which is scientifically proven to help medical treatment.

If you're not aware what is a placebo effect, here's the psychological definition. (full definition source)
The placebo effect is when a person's physical or mental health appears to improve after taking a placebo or 'dummy' treatment. Placebo is Latin for 'I will please' and refers to a treatment that appears real, but is designed to have no therapeutic benefit.
Tumblr media
I mentioned about Chakra and Karma before, and there's another use of healing crystals that has taken another form; Chakra Gemstone Trees.
An Amazon item description,
"The deeper Understanding of Seven Chakra Gemstone Tree
It is said to Brings wealth, Prosperity & Good luck, as well as an excellent Feng Shui Figurine, tree symbolizes stability & growth. It will help you to attract all good things, enhance your creativity and bring a joyful vibration."
Tumblr media
If you enjoy the natural beauty of gemstones and crystals, I high encourage you to purchase them more naturally presented. The images below are good examples of avoiding to purchase that are not used in healing and other spiritual rituals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
May our Lord bless you and keep you! Be watchmen on the tower, and in God's perfect love for His children, Fear cannot dwell in it. In Jesus name, Amen. ❤️
*Just an extra tidbit on the symbolism of crystals in art, here are two examples with a focus on wicca and witchcraft.*

Spiritual Confidence (2 Corinthians 3:4-11)
Any worldly success may lead us to the delusion that we have the power to do what we want – as if I am the sole captain of my soul.
Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory,…
