Spiritual Technology Manufacturing

Spirit tech is any physical artifact that is used in spiritual formation, devotion, worship or service.  It can be ceremonial, practical, symbolic, decorative, honorific and so on. This includes clothing or garments (clerical and non with faith based orientation); religious or faith based artifacts (rosaries, statues, talking sticks/ staffs / canes, aspergiliums, censures, crosses and crucufixes, painitings, pendants or other jewelry (badges); physical places such as churches, shrines, castles, fortresses, grave and burial sites or other structures (mazes, labyrinths). 

    Spirit tech may be land, air or sea based.  The main point is that it must have a physical presence.  Holy water, anointed oils and the effluvium from burnt (censure/ smudging, candles, smoked good) or disbursed liquid offerings  and associated smells are included.

It may also be consumable such as a religious or sacred (consecrated) food stuff whether liquid or solid, for humans or spirit offerings.  Again, it is physical in nature.

Spirit tech manufacturing includes the design, engineering and production of spirit tech.  Just like any manufactured good whether for every day or special event or time usage, spitit tech follows the same basic industrial principles for concept to launch from the drawing board to practial use.  It may or may not have a consecration or spiritual blessing component before, during, after manufacture or upon initial usage.

Chaplain Express has manufactured many items of spiritual technology over the years including, prayer beads, didgeridoos (instrument if the cosmos), secular based tarot/ inspirational card decks, some demon and psycho out weapons, mini aspergiliums including holy water, seer stones and surrogates, clergy and chaplaincy packs, medicine bundles, prayer card packs and wallet rosary cards. The last two are current products and projects carried out with Grasshopper Designs (design/ research studio).  Spirit tech is or can be considered spiritual weaponry.  Thus Chaplain Express and Grasshopper Designs are weapons manufactures.

     In the right hands, these artifacts can channel and access the divine.  From hope to exorcism and even  transformation of consciousness can happen.  Praying for help on the job, to those struck by tragedy, unforeseen circumstances, the sick are but to name a few.  From Hail Mary's, Saint devotions to seasonal blessings are but to name the main usages.  While using the card for house blessings, divine personal protection, spirit binding and soul retrieval are but to name a few rather specialized functions.  To note the limits of the wallet rosary or pocket prayer cards would be in vain to the wonder and inspirational facets of its full capacities. 

   Just as an aside to note on divine personal protection.  In the guise of a shield of faith, faith seals are one capability of the cards.  Much like badges or ribbons, faith seals come in one of three capacities: blessing or favor, protection (guidance) or honor such as an act of courage or valor, or remembrance such as funerary.

Those with true understanding know that the artifacts in all their trite commonality,  gilded extravagance or sacredotiness are merely baubles or gimics to access the divine.  Thus a vehicle for formative spirituality.  However, these artefacts have appeal in regard to accessing the divine as a means of being a spiritual hotline.  Regardless in the end its about that, prayer and the divine.  A means to an end.

The current major project by Chaplain Express is manufacture and development of wallet rosary or pocket prayer cards. This is Catholicism and faith based but maybe used for other secular purposes as a vehicle.  The rosary prayer system is one for accessing the divine from a Christian standpoint but can be ammended to expand blessing, prayer and devotion to others or a cause in need.  Thus the rosary system can have larger implications for those who have a belief in the divine but less denominationally or sectarian focused.

  From a secular standpoint, the rosary card can be applied to an inexhaustable arena of regular life facets from business, family, health or even worldly events.
