Most people don’t realize that you can’t have karma without reinca ation, and the theory of reinca ation dictates you are the sum total of all your prior existences. Even though you don’t consciously remember, all your actions in past lives, negative and positive, created the challenges and rewards you experience today, along with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual being.
What happens to the soul during a near death experience (NDE)? Many have returned to life after being clinically dead and shared amazing insight from the other side. The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages. What about proof? How do we know these people aren’t making up these stories? Couldn’t it just be their imagination? Skepticism is healthy, and the NDERF FAQ page contains lots of helpful information and addresses any skepticism you may have.
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 ...
The metaphysical definition of karma is a direct and clear action, then reaction, such as diligently striving to be a successful performer in several lifetimes, then finally succeeding in a subsequent lifetime. Many people toss around the word karma, even those who don’t believe in reinca ation (though you can’t have one without the other). For example, if a cheater gets burned, they say it’s his karma. But our experience with past life regression and reinca ation research tells us karma is much more complicated than that.
It seems that the truth about meditation is absolutely shrouded in mystery, based on the feedback we typically get from everyday acquaintances upon mentioning that we meditate regularly. You would think the truth about meditation has to do with flighty cosmonauts wasting time chasing rainbows and unico s, sitting in silence waiting for something magical to happen, like children waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Some people even assume that people who meditate are just not very intelligent, or that they are delusional.
What happens after death? Is that it, or does heaven really exist? We can find clues from the NDEs (near death experiences) of many people who returned from the dead to give their fascinating accounts of insight from the other side. The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages. Skepticism about NDEs is normal, and the NDERF FAQ page has a lot of helpful information, including answers to the most popular questions about the subject.

Over thirty years ago we marveled at how psychics could apply astrology and other forms of divination to infer character traits and personal timing. We began doing our own soothsaying around the same time, and today recognize a general three-stage process in becoming proficient in astrology. This also applies to numerology, tarot, runes, or any other form of divination.
By definition, people practice mysticism far more than they realize. The American Heritage dictionary defines mysticism as “consciousness of transcendent reality or of God through deep meditation or contemplation. Mystic is defined as relating to religious mysteries or occult rites and practices; one who practices or believes in mysticism.”
Most people strive to be part of a happy couple. Unfortunately, the result is often the opposite. Humans learn great lessons, often through difficult times, from love relationships. But if you take a spiritual approach and remember the following tips, you’ll be able to create more happiness and be better equipped to handle rough seas. When you’re involved with someone, periodically take inventory of your relationship by asking yourself the following questions:
Everyone knows gratitude as thankfulness, though we also regard it as a process through which to increase spiritual power, thus get more out of life and progress toward self-actualization. Commonly, those on the spiritual path to self-awareness experience three stages of gratitude.
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.
Sex can be spiritual, though it’s all too common to forget and feel guilty about sex, and much of the guilt is hidden in your subconscious mind. We’d like to help you escape the baseless sexual guilt trap. It’s detrimental to your emotional, spiritual, and mental health to possess baseless guilt about sex. Additionally, false fear and guilt about sex prohibits you from experiencing the spiritual and healing benefits of good sex. How to Escape Feeling Guilty About Sex
You’ve probably experienced delays, unanticipated expenses, and other nasty surprises in your travels; it’s just part of the overall adventure. Aside from adopting a detached disposition, getting enough rest, focusing on the rewarding parts, and expecting the unexpected, there’s something else you can do to get more out of your travels, and you can apply it toward other areas of your life as well to maximize your blessings: meditation.

Numerous self-proclaimed spiritual groups are targeting the President of the United States with black magic. This suggests significant parts of the metaphysical community either lack understanding of the law of karma, or don’t care about the consequences. Will they ever learn? Anyone who actively intends harm on another individual is evil, not spiritual, no matter how they justify it.
The theory of reinca ation suggests your past life actions create your present love life situations, both the good and the bad. People who don’t like their love lives now might be making up for their actions in the distant past, but not always. Sometimes, even the best intentions in past lives can result in unfortunate experiences in future lives. This is part of soul growth. Likewise, people with a rewarding love life today may have earned it in past lives. Below are examples of past life suffering that led to happy love lives. Love Isn’t Ownership
Wall Street professionals are getting a lot of heat in the press lately for the exploits of few. Although we target Wall Street excess in this article, we believe the vast majority of financiers are honorable. Our view is that the financial shenanigans that you see today are 10-15 years (at ...
A friend recently told us that he is waking up to the fact that what you think you deserve may not be what you merit, and that it's a hard lesson to learn. Although he's considered successful by almost everyone in his professional and personal life, it was instilled in him early on in his life, and during school, that he deserved the very best. The sky was the limit and he believed it.

One sure way to generate controversy is to bring up the topic of reinca ation in a group conversation. In our experience, in the Western world, about 30% will say they believe in it, 40% will express mild skepticism, and 30% will vehemently speak out against it. Elsewhere in the world, believers are a significantly higher percentage, as the majority of the world embraces the concept of reinca ation in some form or another. They, like us, believe the soul is ete al and “the other side” exists, where souls go after physically inca ating.
The fate vs. free will argument has been around for eons. We believe you have free will to make the most of your fate and even shape it, but not how you may think. The motivational and self-help marketplace is full of well-intentioned professionals promising to make you the captain of your destiny. You can do anything you put your mind to, anything, they say. All you have to do is work hard, believe in yourself, and follow their advice. We’re all for inspiration, but we like it to be rooted in reality.
Countless individuals have experienced the three stages of seeking true love. First, the person seeking true love looks for it everywhere, as if it will magically appear and elevate him to a blissful state of being, and sometimes projects what they want onto people who are not compatible. This type of true love seeking almost always ends in disappointment. It's like trying to find an oasis in the desert.
Once you understand the truth about reinca ation, after sifting through the myths and misunderstandings, you’ll be surprised how the awareness can improve your quality of life. Below are nine common questions or arguments about reinca ation and our responses, which are based on over 25 years of past life regression experience. 1) “Only naive people believe in reinca ation.” These famous people who believed in reinca ation probably would have disagreed: Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, Socrates, Plato, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Henry David Thoreau.
The law of attraction says that you attract what you focus on. But what about the other, equally important spiritual laws? Below we discuss them, and how spiritual laws affect your love life.

Relatively young Hollywood director Kevin Smith had a brush with death earlier this year; a massive heart attack almost did him in. Fortunately, he’s still with us, and the health crisis puts the spotlight on the notion of prayer. Another Hollywood star, openly Christian Chris Pratt, star of Guardians of the Galaxy, wrote on Twitter, addressing Kevin Smith, “Praying for you. I will continue to. You inspired me with Clerks when I was a senior in HS…” Not surprisingly, Chris Pratt received public criticism after the tweet from those who doubt the power of prayer.
The world is currently experiencing a technology boom and the future looks incredibly exciting. We believe technology and the overall standard of living will be exponentially more advanced, beyond your imagination, in the near future.

The views we hold about personal fate and karma, such as at least 75% of the core circumstances and events in everyone’s life are predestined, are controversial. We regularly receive unsolicited (usually anonymous) feedback like this: “What about the law of attraction? Don’t we co-create our lives, our realities? I think so. Your information is depressing.
It’s perfectly understandable to be mystified as to why “bad” things happen to seemingly “innocent” people. We’ve found that it’s necessary to put aside conventional thinking in order to grasp what we believe to be the truth about karma and personal fate. To further address this issue, we’ll answer a question we received recently: “There’s got to be something amiss with karma as we have it. How does someone ‘earn’ karma such as being depth charged for three straight days in a leaking U-Boat? So that elect group of men did stuff in other lives to cook up that experience? ?
We state our theories as the result of our long-term, unbiased,nempirical research. When we first began investigating metaphysical conceptsnback in the early 1980s, we wanted to believe that we couldncreate anything we desired. Unfortunately or fortunatelyn(depending upon your viewpoint), we’ve ...
Fifty Hollywood actors of similar talent toil for years looking for that big break, frequently crossing paths through the same auditions and talent agencies. Eventually, two of them make it to A-list status, yet the others languish in obscurity. We don't call it luck, we call it fate. "It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I've been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part." Robin Wright

Neuroscientists study male and female brains to determine distinct differences but thus far arrive at no concrete conclusions. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/talking-back/is-the-brain-gendereda-q-a-with-harvard-s-catherine-dulac/ We’re not surprised, since our findings show that, aside from biological gender, there are two distinct factors that affect how a person feels about his or her gender. Soul Experiences Influence How One Views His or Her Gender
The debate about whether or not it's possible to wipe out karmic debts rages on. The Oxford Dictionary defines redemption as "...the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil...or clearing a debt." Everyone who has a conscience feels guilt for wrongdoing. Sometimes the wrongdoing can be avoided, sometimes not. The question is, can you be redeemed in this life so you don't have to face the consequences in a future life. Our findings show, it depends.
As identical twins, we are supposed to be genetic mirrors of each other and conventional scientists attribute our differences in personality to environmental influences. Contrast that with our controversial viewpoint: we associate our unique personalities and distinct physical differences to the influence of spiritual heritage; everyone, including identical twins, has a unique soul. Life is much more than mere biological science. Why not consider the influence of spirit too?

Why do good things happen to bad people? An arrogant, cruel actor wins an Academy Award while many seemingly more deserving, talented actors never get noticed. A ruthless business tycoon successfully builds a billion dollar empire while many ethical business owners fail. The nasty broad who drinks and smokes lives a long life, while the ever-pleasant sweetheart who leads a very healthy lifestyle dies of cancer at a young age.

Based on life-after-life accounts from past life regression, the research of Stafford Betty, and Near Death Experiences (NDEs), the afterworld is quite different than life on Earth. One main reason is that you, or your soul, is no longer confined by the limits of your body and mind. The list in this article is about life after death in the Light, where most souls go after shedding their body. Some souls go to levels of a lower vibration, but they always have the choice to call out for help, embrace the Light and work to progress to higher levels.
