(These are the words to go on a yet to be published poster, the third in a series of six in a Page of Truth Wall Chart Poster series. No image has been decided upon for its back ground.) The God Effect is what happens when a person directs energy into a to be healed site, weather that be a person, a part of a person, an animal, a plant, or any inorganic matter wherein that material is changed into a more perfect structure, perfect in that its functional abilities are improve

Out-of-body experience is a fascinating topic. The idea that we can leave our physical body and allow our consciousness to roam free on a non-physical plane of existence is liberating for some, scary for others, and just plain impossible to believe for the rest of us. But is out-of-body experience genuine? Can it be scientifically proven? nnI recently learned of a group at OpenSourceScience.net investigating out-of body experiences (OBEs) from an objective point of view. They

1) Note Genesis 1 – In the Genesis creation story, allegorical as it is, the words “God Said” are repeatedly used. The emphasis is on “said” instead of created, thought or did. Why? From the void comes everything. Space is not empty and useless. Without space there could be no stars planets, galaxies and universes. Space is more analogous to God than any thing.

In the wake of traumatic events it feels like the world is closing in and nothing makes sense, not even what others tell you or how you feel. It can be very unmanageable in how you feel and think, like nothing is right and you don’t know where to turn. Yet this moment is when you need direction and answers the most because of the ungrounding nature of the event.

Transcendent enlightenment is part of religious observations. The path to spiritual awakening is an extremely holy understanding because the enlightened individual has interaction with the celestial and paranormal. This enlightening experience has been part of diverse societies and practices, and it includes different beliefs. Illumination is personal because it fits in the person's awareness and personal religion. This means it is something which other individuals, who do no

What’s Your Style? Martial arts are not unique to a particular country, but instead have been developing as humans have evolved around the world. That being said, particular styles and cultural influences were spread along the “Silk Road” trade routes from India to China and Tibet and eventually to Japan and many other Asian countries.

We women are not complicated creatures, but we are complex! So many hormones, so many moods! Our bodies can be finely tuned insturments or chaotic and painful abodes. This article will cover just a few of the herbs (there are too many to cover here!) that have been used through the ages by women to heal and nurture themselves and their families. I am an herbalist. I rejoice in the plant kingdom's gifts for the beauty and balance of the earth and all of her children.

One would literally have to be living on a desert island to ignore the fact that growing numbers of people are suffering in these times. As human systems break down and the Earth’s natural systems become increasingly unbalanced, the collective toll of human suffering continues to mount. Physical loss is compounded by anxiety about the future, and by a growing sense of pessimism about material life. Deep layers of alienation, long muted by myriad drugs and alcohol, are now s

We are now presenting Part IV of our five part series – how are you all doing with turning your life around? Hopefully all that entered this series by the articles published on SelfGrowth, by the videos on “adamariestube” on YouTube, or by the radio show “the True Golden Oracle” on Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network, are progressing well. And hopefully all are keying into the underlying message to all of these presentations – and that is to get to know your True Self.

2012 AND BEYOND PART 2 See Part 1 Here Thank you to all those readers who sent me their comments about Part 1, it is very much appreciated. This was the biggest response that I have ever received since the initiation of the newsletters. Thank you once again. This gives me an indication that the subject of 2012 is indeed very important to a great many people. I am pretty certain and feel confident that the significance granted to the year 2012 is going to gather more moment

Everyone knows you need it, especially if you are trying to build up your muscles, but what exactly is protein, how much do you need, and where is the best place to get it? Well, each protein is a chain of amino acids that twists itself into a specific custom shape. Depending on the shape it can become a part of muscle tissue, bones, skin, an enzyme, etc. The specific shape depends on the sequence of amino acids. Wow! So these amino acids are the really important part.

Prayer is a very profound tool to transform our consciousness. By saying prayers we are using the power inherent in “the word.” It is said in the Bible that God created the world by the power of “The Word.” We are co-creators with God, so our word has creative power as well! By saying prayers we are articulating words of power, and these words of power have a powerful effect.

After meditating for many years, through many forms of meditation, I prefer a most basic and simple meditation. A meditation that requires no effort. A meditation that is not a doing. It is simply sitting...aware. In its simplicity is something very powerful, because when we sit down to ...

Once again I have been thinking of all the noise and by noise I mean the noise of WORDS. Everyone uses words to form an opinion. Opinions flourish on every subject. Every subject is built and dissected through words. Colorful, expressive, masterfully artistic, plentiful words. So plentiful in fact, that whole thoughts get lost in the great telepathic ball of technology and space. Imagine if we could actually see words, like in cartoons, floating in bubbles or on streams of air; waves, tidal waves of words, shaped and growing as the living entities that words can become.

“Why is there so much negativity and darkness on our planet?” Like myself, probably many of you have asked this question. Spiritual leaders, philosophers and great thinkers, throughout history have also sought to answer it. Yet, with all of this effort, our planet is still plagued ...

Inside every one of us there is a deep desire to experience love, wholeness, healing, and contentment. There is an Infinite River of Bliss and Joy and Love that floods through all of creation. The deepest root of every human desire is to dive into this river and be carried away into complete and unending satisfaction. Many of us, though, go quite thirsty and this River of Bliss seems to be a pipe-dream or something out of reach or imperceptible. Unde eath the fluid surface of

If you realize it or not we are all addicted. Not just mildly addicted, but addicted to the point of total insanity. “Addicted to what?” I hear you ask. We are addicted to unconsciously listening to a voice which is constantly babbling away in our mind. A voice which directs our actions, ...

The Problem Child Within Us Quote: "Who's that child that won’t go away? That’s the child you've left astray. We were born to experience happiness, fun and joy on earth until our minds became programmed after birth." As adults we sometimes hold back from expressing our childlike personalities of wholeness and freedom. We lose touch with our light and joyful funny side in exchange for heaviness and burdensome. We miss out on laughter and from living life to the fullest. Di

Animal spirit guides are a shamanic tradition that means everything is alive and carries with it power and wisdom. Animal spirit guides are able to teach, guide and help heal us. They offer help to empower us in life. An animal spirit guide has attributes similar to our characteristics and it can reflect your own personality. The animals also protect us like guardian angels.

What are the pitfalls, fallacies and misconceptions that have to be overcome? In other words, what is the secret to success? There are literally hundreds of books that purport to provide the secret to success, however, when you analyze these books you will find that they are in one way or another stressing three points. They may emphasize one over the other. They may present them in different order and provide various explanations, but in one way or another they are saying: 1) You must know what you want. 2) You must design a plan to get what you wantr

The popular train of thought is that our consciousness dictates our reality. I look at this as being more than true when we look at ourselves to determine if we are living the reality of the physical being or the energy being that we are. We are both, but which is the most dominant? We are ...

Life Is Always Here and Now. The truth of this title may sound like ordinary commonsense to most people; however, with this said you must deeply know that all you’re ever really promised is this moment here right now. Tomorrow is yet our anticipation of another Here and Now. You may want to become centered in your body, clearly aware and then ask yourself what it is you feel now when you read this title? “Life Is Always Here and Now” You may want to pause for a moment a

I have long pondered on why humanity as a whole practices "eye for an eye," especially after reading about Mahatma Gandhi's life and learning the concept that an "eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." The message of peace is within most of the world's doctrines, and yet, it ...

Many have noted the fact that early astronomers had the knowledge of numbers as concepts, but few have considered the significance of the “base number”, which is the real recurring phenomenon. The term “base number” refers to the numbers 1 through 9 only. Each has a metaphysical meaning, a meaning that goes beyond physical manifestation to the creative forces of thought. Is it possible to really understand the base numbers?

How much power does a flower really have? More than you might realize. Appreciating everyday beauty – from blazing sunsets to a handmade blanket – is a simple act with incredible impact, capable of healing and transforming your life. It’s not a hard concept to grasp when you’re having a ...

Rumi, the legendary Sufi mystic and luminous poet from the 13th century, famously advised, "Don't go back to sleep." He was referring to the idea that most of us, most of the time, are essentially sleep-walking through life. We're "asleep at the wheel" whenever we're allowing our old, unconscious stories and programs to run the show. Many of us, for example, are absolutely convinced that we are victims of one thing or another. It might be a parent, a spouse, the government, a

When we are faced with the moment of losing something, whether it is a job, a loved one, or a way of being, it can act as a catalyst of reversion, leading us on a path away from ourselves. It is almost as if in order to deal with it we must lose ourselves as well. To be present is harder than letting go of the situation and falling into what overwhelms us. To see ourselves clearly in these moments helps to exist with what is happening. By letting go of ourselves we lose the hold of not only our own reality but of what is true.

Human Design is an instrument for personal growth, self-discovery and self-knowledge, providing a path to self-realization, self-mastery and health for body, mind and spirit.nnWe are able to lead happier, healthier and more productive lives by living in accordance with our individual Human Designs. We all have natural, in-born abilities and limitations that shape our lives, personalities, relationships and accomplishments. If we try to live according to an incorrect idea of w

rnWhat Is Divine Openings ?rnby Carey Waters Do you ever feel like you are repeating the same old “story” over and over but not getting to that happy ending . Are you rehearsing that old worn out script, telling anyone who will listen what a difficult time you’re having, always hoping for a solution? Or is your story more like, “I’ve been seeking and working on myself for ever and ever, and I’m still not there!”? With Divine Openings it's as if the script gets r

Fill in the blank with whatever it is that's driving you crazy because it's not here yet, despite all your efforts: your enlightenment, your million, your lover, your peace of mind … your patience (smile). Just this week I talked with several clients about how to soothe themselves when they ...

Is there a great story in your mind that is just crying out to be told? Are you an expert on a certain subject and want to share your knowledge with others? Do you try and try but can’t get the words out of your head and down on paper. What can you do to get your book written?r

Soft flakes fall from the sky White powder for you and I It's fresh, it's clea It gleams in the sun For your enjoyment To frolic and have fun Look around you and you will see How Mother Earth Supplies all our needs Food, water, trees, fragrant flowers, To frolic in hour after hour Some places have snow glistening in the daylight And we all have twinkling stars to entertain us at night Embrace the beauty that surrounds you Rejoice in our Mother who will astound you Her ocean waves crashing on rocks Warm sunlight embracing like a sock

No, not for people. Everything is temporary and changing…without much or any control. Who knows when you might suddenly be laid off and unemployed? Who knows when some sickness or illness will happen to the body? Inevitably, each person will die. There is no absolute protection from ever becoming sick, unemployed, relationships ending, or death. So as long as you think of yourself as a “me” (i.e. a person or people), then there is no absolute security.

What’s So Different about Astrology All of a Sudden?All of a sudden there are tweets and Face Book posts about how astrology has changed and how it affects our personal horoscopes. The dates are different and that moves people from one sign to another. How on earth is this going to affect us? An astronomer named Kunkle claims that the rotation of the earth and the sun has slowly changed the signs. It is supposed to have happened over the eons. All of a sudden,the dates are totally changed. The dates for the signs have changed and a new sign has been added. November 29 – December 17.

In the Spirituality of Wealth Program, we speak of essences and absences. The essences are the ‘constants’ of spirit that exist independently of our thinking and have a distinct vibration and Intelligence. The essences make up the archetypal energies out of which all is born. Everything in ...

There has been a Matrix on the Earth for thousands and thousands of years. Many of you may realize this to some degree, yet for most people it remains unknown. From our "normal" state of mind, the realization that we have been living in a Matrix seems quite unfathomable. How can our ...

Last year, seven of my lifelong friends made their transition back to the greater dimensions of the universe. One very young and the rest spread across a time line of decades. Each lived a spectacular life. You might say that each died with a grin on his or her face because they squeezed everything out of life, every minute of the day and every day of the years they lived on this amazing green globe out in the middle of the ink-black of the universe. Each loved this thing ca

In many of my books I have referred to the Universal Laws as “The Basis of the Study”. This is because the Universal Laws are the basis of any study of Self. How can one identify these Laws to the point of making application to the 13 Universal Principles of Success unless we can internalize them, recognize them in our life experiences These principles are an application of the Universal Laws to a level we can relate to. I have come to understand these principles to be the basis of the First Field of Knowledge, which is awareness of Self.

What we put beyond our reach remains beyond our reach. Awakening, enlightenment, God-realization, Self-realization, whatever you want to call it, is our natural state. When we place it on a pedestal we fail to recognize this and become like a dog chasing its own tail since no view that divides us can unite us.

I just saw “you don’t know Jack” which is the televised biography of Dr Jack Kervorkian., sometimes called Dr. Death. It is a difficult movie to watch but the subject matter, the right to die, is very important. Why is it that a family can be allowed to decide to “pull the plug” on a comatose patient/loved one and yet the loved one him/her self cannot decide when it is time to stop the suffering? This is a question that no one can answer. No one has the right to decide if a person should be able to end his/her suffering with dignity.

The Return of the Priestessnby Sharon Fallon ShrevennI’m often asked, “What is a priestess and what does she do?“nnA simple explanation is to offer Webster’s definition: a priestess is a woman who officiates in sacred rites. While this is quite accurate, in truth, a priestess is and does so much more. She serves the spiritual needs of the community.nnLong ago the priestesses in communities carefully observed the patterns and rhythms of Nature. Attuning

The World of Man is in a state of change and strife caused by the Worship of the Idol Mammon (meaning to weigh out)or Money and the cohorts that the Spirits of Greed (avarice, longing, desire), Spirits of Covetousness (fraud and plunder) and the Spirits of Gluttony (indulgence in excess) empower.

The Irony of Man is not a new problem, but a repeating cyclical behavior passed down from generation to generation. Aristophanes referred to this as eiron, Greek word for Irony, and applied its usage to any shady or annoying characters. The Irony in itself was that Aristophanes himself was a ‘jokester’ and often annoyed others within his time. Classic case of projecting shadows onto another.rnCarl Jung proved the shadow effect to be that of projection of oneself onto anot

One of the most important steps to Creating Your Perfect Life is to take the time to know and acknowledge the talents that you came here to use. When we come into our bodies, into our lives, we arrive with many specific properties and propensities. We come with a certain eye color, a certain hair color, a specific body and face shape, many specific ways of operating from our brains to how we use our bodies. And, yes, we come with talents.

HAPPY EASTER to all. Yes the Lord has risen..in our hearts and minds and within our Souls. Yes indeed a miracle….so when I had been thinking what short extract (from my next book I am I: The In-dweller of your Heart – part 1) should I include at this special time….what better place than these few lines from 2007 from a lesson called Miracles! I loved these ones…hope you will too. God Bless, Dave

In the early 90s I established the Institute of Applied Metaphysics which is my primary effort. My books and other selected books are the texts for each course that makes up the three degree levels of the Institute. I have 14 books in print and three at various stages of development. There are CDs and power point presentations and 3 workbooks that can go with the books. There are a number of additional texts by other authors also utilized in each level of the program.

HE said "You are gaining weight every day. Your body looks like you swallowed the Pillsbury Doughboy." SHE heard "Oh, God, I have to stop taking this medication. It doesn't matter that it is all that is keeping me alive. I am fat and my husband doesn't love me any more."

Dream – the word is both a noun and a verb. This life, for some, is simply another dream you wake to. And this is found in the Huna, explained by Serge Kahili King through his "Mastering Your Hidden Self." And this can change any conventional idea of what your or my dreams may mean. While that gives us some improved workability, it also has drawbacks.
