***Not all Karma is personal: impersonal collective karma

Not all karma is personal. There are certain karmic lessons we have to meet that are not directly related to us personally but have more to do with planetary lessons of humanity as a whole. These lessons are called collective karma. Collective karma is impersonal. Examples of collective karma are wars, famine, droughts, earthquakes, global economic crises, planetary upheavals of any kind.

***Simple Meditation to Connect with your Guardian Angel

Make yourself comfortable, preferably sitting on a chair with your feet firmly on the floor, making sure your arms and legs are uncrossed, and your spine straight. Imagine a golden light all around you spreading out as far around you and as high above you as you can visualize it. This is a protective golden dome which will create a barrier and protective shield so that any unwanted or negative energies will not be able to enter inside it. Relax now, breathing deeply once or twice, allowing your entire body to feel calm and tranquil.

What is it that will bring about a change of heart, which awakens love and compassion within us?

***Creative Visualization to Connect with your Mighty I AM Presence

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you breathe in, breathe in the Light of God and as you breathe out, breathe out all that is not of the Divine. In your mind’s eye, see yourself now sitting in a magnificent room with crystal floors and iridescent walls. You are seated on a crystalline seat that has geometric shapes inscribed on it and yet is soft to the touch and very comfortable. You intuitively know that the inscription is your Soul name.

Masterminds and Their Groups

Have you ever wondered about all those big mastermind groups that are always being talked about in the news and on the talk shows? A Mastermind group comes together around a central thought. They also have control issues; they often want to control the world (or at least their little portion of it). Oh, wait, did you think I was talking about groups that had high IQ's or that wanted to LEARN? Oh, heck no. I was talking about MASTERMIND GROUPS! Bilderberg; TriLateral Commission; those people.

Basic Info on the Seven Chakras

The seven energy centers - so called chakras are an integral part of human inner organization, and as such they are as important to the eastern system of Yoga as they are to the western mystical schools of self growth and self-discovery. The seven chakras are, of course, not to be found on the physical level. This is no surprise, since here we are talking about very subtle, invisible centers of spiritual energy. Although invisible, the whole system of energy centers and energy channels is a foundation which animates our physicality, and thanks to it we consider ourselves living entities.

***Animals are our Younger Brothers and Sisters; Wild Animals versus Pets

Just as there are humans that are more evolved than others, the same is true for the animal kingdom. Pets or domesticated animals are more evolved than wild animals. Wild animals live out in wild nature. They have no contact or interaction with humans.

***Be a love-finder, not a fault-finder

We don’t really see with our eyes, we see with our minds and consciousness. Every thought we think is a lens we see through. And so in truth everything in life is perception and interpretation. If we choose to see faults in ourselves or others, we will find them. However, if we choose to be a love finder and see the best and beautiful in both ourselves and others, then this is what we will see.

***The Inner Well of our God Self, and Why we have to Return to this Well if we want to be Well

Our true identity is our Ete al Self or God Self, also called Monad or Mighty I AM Presence. Our God Self is like an ever flowing well that springs forth from Spirit and feeds us both Spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. However, man in his search for material possessions and pleasure has so removed himself from this inner well and self, that as a result we have dried up inside, both Spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Just as a river runs dry if it removes itself too much from its source, so man runs dry Spiritually if he removes himself from his Divine Source.

Tips On How To Find Out About Your Past Life Without The Help Of Hypnosis

Hypnosis can be used to undergo past life regression, though hypnosis is not an essential tool to use for past life regression.

The Source Of Addiction

Addiction comes from a place of wanting, of needing something to fulfill and replace part of one’s life. It can be seen as an escape, but the real need is much more. What is missing that needs to be replaced? What part of life is empty and aching for fulfillment? It is a place that may be hard to reach and see. One often seeks to fill the emptiness without the truth behind the desire. Why is the desire there? That is the real question and one that should be sought out, for from there the problem arises.

***The Physical Body is the Densest of our Bodies, but it has a Subtle Counterpart called the Etheric Body

***The Mental Body is the Body with which we Think

The mental body is the body with which we think. It penetrates the physical, etheric and emotional body and is of a higher frequency than the others. However, the physical body, etheric body, emotional body and mental body all form part of the so-called four-body-system. So the four lower bodies are all connected with one another, not separate. All things start with thoughts. “Thoughts are things,” as Edgar Cayce said. Our thoughts ultimately create our reality. So always remember to watch your thoughts for, “What we think about comes about.”

*** Turning the other cheek does not mean to be a victim in life

Many Lightworkers have been confused about this point. A Master is not victimized in the slightest by turning the other cheek. As a matter of fact, the opposite takes place! He is fully empowered because he is staying attuned to God and maintaining his realization of God. When one is fully centered within self and has achieved Spiritual mastery, one is always in their personal power, self-love, attunement to God, Christ Consciousness and semi-permeable bubble of protection.
