The statistics of recurring studies around the world show that cheating in relationships is far more common than everyday appearances let on; an average of 45% of respondents claim to have cheated in a relationship, and that doesn't include those who haven't admitted to an affair or fling.
Perhaps you've experienced the power of affirmations. Tell yourself a thousand times you can't do something, and you're that much closer to failure. Tell yourself repeatedly you can do something, and you're more likely to succeed. Taken to the extreme, some people claim you can manifest anything you want with positive thinking. While we would like that to be true, we have a different view about the subject.

Have you ever utilized the power of positive affirmations? Some say you can reach any goal, including improving your sex life, with positive thinking. Though we believe some things are out of reach no matter what you do, positive affirmations can help you with what is within reach. After years of empirical research, we believe all areas of life, including your sex life, are greatly impacted by your present and past life experiences. Your personal timing and destiny (the same thing as fate) reflects your past and present.

The power of the human mind is astonishing. You’re aware of your conscious mind, the part of you that is knowingly reading this right now, but your collective subconscious mind is of its own volition, and doesn’t always agree with your conscious desires. Try as you might, you aren’t really in control of your subconscious mind which greatly influences your behavior.
Thanks to modern technology and the Internet, you’ll find an abundance of spiritual information online when you seek answers to your spiritual questions. Unfortunately, so much of it is spiritual advice you should ignore. Throughout over 30 years of extensive metaphysical and spiritual exploration, we’ve never adhered to only one system, religion, or outlook. Instead, we use intuition, reason, common sense, and long-term observation to discover what works. Below is some of the spiritual advice we’ve found that is best ignored since it’s unhelpful or even dangerous.
Whether to stay or leave an unhappy relationship can be a nvery difficult decision, especially when children and other nfactors are involved. Will you create negative karma if you leave your marriage? Some may say that you have an obligation to stay married nfor your children. We disagree ...

Though following the advice below may not immediately reward you with the love life you dream about, instead we believe it's possible to create a good alte ative in the meantime; a confident and warm feeling of self-love and appreciation. This will get you through even long stretches of horrible love life timing. Follow the tips below to help avoid love life hell.
“Ascension” is a popular spiritual topic. In Christianity the term is used to describe the bodily rising of Jesus into heaven. In the New Age, it’s descriptive of consciously transcending this dimension (i.e., “self-ascension”) to advance spiritually to a higher plane, one that is void of ...
In your pursuit of spiritual awareness, you may have embraced the “consciousness” movement. After all, it sounds good, right? Become more conscious of yourself, humanity, and the environment, and strive to better the planet. However, what you may not realize is that to many advocates, “consciousness” includes destructive economic and political policies. You’re Not Alone if You’ve Fallen For it Many people have become ensnared in the consciousness trap. The music-to-your-ears cosmic messages, on the surface, appear to be beneficial for humanity and the planet. Some are, some aren’t.r
One of the most beneficial things you can do for your emotional well-being is to forgive. Forgive everyone who has ever hurt you, let you down, ripped you off, and anyone you perceive as the “enemy." Why? Because holding on to resentment toward someone depletes your energy, delays spiritual ...
Money and spirituality are commonly viewed as incompatible. However, since financial resources are necessary to survive and money by itself takes nothing away from your spirituality, it’s reasonable and wise to simultaneously strive for a healthy spiritual foundation and relationship with money. Along your spiritual path in life, you may wonder about the karmic implications of assorted financial situations.
Here’s a recent email we received about the law of attraction and fate:
In our opinion, the best way to select the most appropriatenname for a baby is to remove any ego-self from the equation. What we mean is that you need to “get out of the way,” andnlet the name come to you. Whatever name feels best is thenmost fitting name. If you are expecting, and if you ...
The concept of betrayal from a spiritual viewpoint is controversial. Since the dawn of time, many forms of betrayal, particularly romantic betrayal, have caused much emotional anguish. Everyone knows from experience that betrayal isn’t pleasant. Nobody likes to be on the receiving end of deliberate disloyalty, including failing to honor business agreements, familial obligations, or a marriage contract. You have a legitimate complaint if you’re wronged in such a way. How Betrayal is a Spiritual Lesson

With a little effort, you can explore your past lives with a specialist or a past life regression audio. After you learn more about the process, you may be able to get past life insight in your dreams, in meditation, or even through spontaneous perception. Don’t believe in past lives? It’s natural to feel skeptical, yet it’s good to remain objective, explore, and reach conclusions on your own. You will benefit if you’re willing to accept the process.
The modern mainstream scientific community often discredits nsciences such as numerology, astrology and graphology and nsays that no proof exists of their validity. Traditional scientific “experts” sometimes even call these esoteric, empirically based sciences “pseudo sciences.” Underwood ...

The American Heritage dictionary defines fatalism as “The doctrine that all events are determined by fate and are therefore unalterable.” To us, fatalism is more forgiving. We have found through our long-term empirical research that at least 75% of everyone’s key life circumstances are ...

Are you an old soul? The term is commonly used to describe someone mature beyond their years, or spiritually defined as someone who has lived many, many lives. However, our many years of past life regression research has shown us that there are younger souls who are just as or more spiritually aware as the so-called older souls; being an older soul could be, in many cases, that it’s taken them a lot longer to learn their lessons. Just because you’ve gone through the motions of attending class and enduring exams doesn’t mean you’ve done well in school.
The Oxford Dictionaries defines redemption as “the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil: God’s plans for the redemption of his world [in singular] a thing that saves someone from error or evil...the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt...the action of buying one’s freedom: soldiers who were captured had to seek redemption [as modifier]: serfs began paying redemption dues...”
In your quest for truth, empirical, objective research is imperative and can be done by almost anyone. If you choose to, you can find great clarity in matters such as health and wellness, your love relationships, and current events. However, even the most obvious findings, when they contrast with conventional standards, aren’t always recognized, or even permitted to see the light of day in some instances.

Do you want to avoid some of the problems you've experienced in this life? Then you need to always be mindful of your actions. Through over 25 years of empirical research, our findings regarding negative and positive karma may surprise you. What you may have thought is a negative karma-incurring act actually isn't.

Our metaphysical theories stem from empirical observation in conjunction with a comprehensive system of checks and balances using handwriting analysis, intuition, and in-depth astrology and numerology. Clusters of indicators form patterns that symbolize character, key life events and circumstances, and timing trends. Conce ing comprehensive numerology, we occasionally find a subject who has a significant over-abundance of a specific root number, such as the number 9.
Spirit possession has become a more popular topic in recent years due to it being featured in popular media, including TV shows and movies. Although extreme cases make for more potent entertainment, they aren't very common in the real world. Below we describe the other levels of possession so you know what to watch out for. 1) Mild possession includes the phenomena of spirit attachment, and ghosts, which are not technically possession but are related and can still cause problems.
Misunderstandings regarding metaphysics and spirituality abound. Our empirical research since the 1980s has allowed us to realize, what we believe to be, the authentic meanings of the following spiritual terms. Be cautious of “updated” definitions and alte ative versions of these important terms, as in many cases they have been construed to fit the author’s agenda and profit goals.
According to the theory of reinca ation, your past life behavior has a lot to do with the current state of your finances today. Most people are acquainted with the basic concept of karma: whatever you do now will come back to you in the future, though our findings show it’s more likely to come back to you in a future life. Anti-prosperity thoughts and actions from past lives have much more of an impact on life circumstances than most people realize.
Rather than embracing religious or spiritual teachings blindly,nquestion what you read or hear and consider other viewpoints. For those who claim that metaphysical practices such asnastrology and numerology are sinful, we recommend readingn"The Christian Conspiracy," by Dr. L. David Moore, who ...
Great, mind blowing sex can be healing and transformational, making you feel alive and full of energy, but unfortunately, it’s rare. Common complaints about sex that is less than satisfying are selfishness, lack of interest, poor hygiene, low energy, being too quick or slow, being too aggressive or passive, a bad attitude, and being out of shape or overweight. What makes someone good in bed? Good technique, wanting and knowing how to please, a conce for safe-sex, a sense of adventure and playfulness, and being relaxed and confident all contribute to great sex.

We get many questions from young adults about love life dilemmas. So many of them fall into traps that could have been avoided with good guidance and advice. It leaves one wondering, “Didn’t their parents or mentors help them distinguish love life fantasies from reality?” Sadly, many parents still don’t know the difference and as we explain below, it’s an easy mistake to make. The good news is that you can make enormous progress in your love life by altering your perception and taking a new approach which we hope to help you do with this information.

It's common for people in the New Age arena to believe the myth about a vegetarian diet and spirituality, that it's necessary to become enlightened. The pro-vegetarianism contention goes something like this: "I am 100% for life and I love animals, so I avoid eating meat. Animals are my friends. Why would you eat your friends? A vegan diet brings more peace and enlightenment to every living being."
Some of our New Age friends claim they can erase all of ntheir karma and create whatever they desire. No more relationship, family, money, or health problems. Sounds good! Alas, years of empirical research convinces us that this is nimpossible. If it were possible to create whatever you ...
How can you tell if someone is possessed? Does possession really happen, or is it a myth? When we mention possession most people express skepticism or fear. Thanks to scary movies and novels, demonic and spirit possession seem like either science fiction, or something one has no control over. We’ve found in over 20 years of empirical research that demonic and spirit possession is neither of these things once you understand the concepts, and it’s far more common than most people realize.
There are many good “spiritual teachers” and “gurus”nin existence, but in order for someone to be a goodnspiritual teacher/guru, he/she must have inherent wisdom,nbe relatively free of biases and the tendency to pushnstudents into a dogmatic program of instruction, and havengone through his/her ...
The first thing that comes to mind for most people after hearing the words demonic possession is the Exorcist movie, Halloween, or perhaps your in-laws. We understand the reluctance to embrace the concept of ghosts and dark energy. Many years ago we were unsure about the notion of demonic energy, and particularly about it influencing human behavior. Today, we believe it’s a real epidemic that makes life’s difficulties worse, and creates additional problems for countless unsuspecting people.
Hangovers can seriously impede your success, as well as the advancement of your spirituality. Drinking more than a couple too often is a lethal trap that you need to avoid at all costs if you want to reach your full potential and accomplish your earthly missions. You’re not alone, most people have done it. You wake up after a night of excess drinking, or even just a couple if you’re sensitive to booze, and feel awful; it’s difficult to maintain positive thinking, let alone any spiritual disciplines like meditation, and a productive day is an uphill battle or out of the question.
Conventional scientists say that identical twins are the result of a fertilized egg in the womb that splits into equal parts, thus two identical humans. Modern astrologers claim that twins, or strangers born around the same time in the same place, have similar charts. But if you’ve ever known more than a few sets of identical twins, you know that even though they look similar, their personalities and lives can be quite different.
Virtually everybody ends up wasting time somewhere along the line in their pursuit of spiritual awareness because the path is replete with pitfalls. Don’t feel bad if you’ve taken a time consuming detour down a spiritual dead-end street. You’re not alone. Below we list some of the most commo New Age blunders.
The idea associating schizophrenia with demonic possession is very controversial; modern scientific thought rejects the spiritual. One researcher is swimming upstream against the conventional current and believes there’s a viable connection between evil spirits and mental disorders. Turkish researcher M. Kemal Irmak contends in his research paper “Schizophrenia or Possession?” that demons, “have the power to possess humans and control their body” and that mental disorders, including hallucinations can be caused by demons.r
