When Your Father Lets You Down

College football looms large in the lives of many American men. Even if we didn't put on the helmet and pads for our school, most of us played a few downs with our friends during childhood, or we passed the football back-and-forth with our own fathers. Going to college was a rite of passage for many of us, or even if we didn't go, our parents wanted us to. And the sport cuts across lines of gender, race and class.

*** Aspects of Spiritual Healing and the Spiritualization of Matter (Part 2)

How can we understand healing, which seems to occur through intention and subtle energies? Albert Einstein pointed out, earlier in this century, that matter and energy are interchangeable. Quantum physics has amply confirmed his theory. Conventional, Newtonian medicine continues to address the body primarily as matter. Healers have been saying for a long time that they are addressing the energy body when they do healings. Allopathic and energy medicine approaches simply represent the two sides of Einstein's equation, E = mc2.

40 Powerful Ways to Self Sabotage Your Success

Before we begin our journey through the 40 powerful ways you can self-sabotage your own success, let's take a moment to define "self-sabotage". Self-sabotage is most recognizable by the experience of an internal "tug-of-war" between having a desire to do something and feeling like you can't or shouldn't do it. Any time you hear yourself say, "I want to do this, but I can't (or I shouldn't)!" this is the inner conflict of self-sabotage.

An Asbestos and Mesothelioma Statistic

It's 4.45 in the morning, pitch black outside. The alarm clock goes off - the most hated sound at the start of the day. He hits it out, half asleep. Trying to get out of the oh-so-comfortable slumber, all he can think of is how he's going to need a bit more time to get up. 5 minutes, tops! A minute later, a second alarm goes off, tearing him out of his inertia all over again. Sensing it's going to be futile to continue fighting his time, he surrenders to his time-keeper & slowly rolls out of bed.

It is as if we have opened a locked door to an industry secret that no one seems to know about or are just in denial regarding the truth. In the 1980s, Stuart Berger, MD, labeled soy one of the seven top allergens – one of the “sinister seven.” Food allergies are abnormal inflammatory responses of the immune system to dust, pollen, a food or some other substance.
