On Being a Late Bloomer I’m a late bloomer. It sometimes seems I’ve lived my life backwards. I like to say I took an early retirement (minimal employment and lots of leisure), and now that I’m of retirement age, I’m fired up and cracking to start working. I mean really working, working at my true work, the work I was meant to do. What took me so long? Well, for one thing, any original work that blends multiple gifts, life experience, and acquired wisdom, must take time to ripen. It’s not available to young sprouts or saplings, but only comes to fruit on a mature tree.

You want to avoid creating negative karma if you’re like us and believe that whatever you intend, say or do comes back to you. We’re confident that our long-term empirical research with past life regression and interpreting personal fate through comprehensive astrology and numerology, has enlightened us about what we believe to be the law of karma. Even if you don’t share our theories, you still want to do the right thing in all situations, assuming you have a conscience. Over the years we’ve read and heard about what we interpret as a lot of myths about karma.

When you’ve seen as many movies as I have, you begin to see that they all follow a certain pattern. This is true not just of movies, but of all great stories ranging from those found in classic mythology and literature to modern TV series and video games. Joseph Campbell called it the monomyth or hero’s journey. It’s basically a series of steps that the protagonist must go through during the course of his or her adventure. In addition to this, there are also a number of spiritual principles that often find their way into storytelling.

The concept of karma is often misinterpreted. It’s a mistake to confuse subjective morality, that which society considers “right and wrong,” with karma. Karma is simply what you’ll get back (mostly in future lives) in equal measure from every action, thought, and intent and “bad karma” is not always what it’s believed to be. Below we offer a karma quiz. Guess which one of each case study gains the bad karma. Case #1 A:r

As we discussed in a previous article, we nbelieve spiritual possession exacerbates, andncan even be the root of, some, but not all,nproblems and traumas in life. However, fromna spiritual standpoint, there are no victims,nso we feel dark energy and lost souls cannotnexclusively be blamed for ...

Faith, or having complete and unshakable confidence things will turn out okay, is a powerful spiritual practice. Along with gratitude, faith helps you make the most of your fate. Typically, those on the path to self-actualization experience three stages of faith.

Everyone has phases in their life when they feel lonely, especially if they are different or unwilling or unable to conform and follow the herd. For example, for spiritually sensitive people, who see the world differently and often perceive what most other people don’t (e.g, the truth behind appearances), it’s harder to connect with people because socializing can be overwhelming and exhausting.

I’m not exactly sure when it started, but there came a point in my life when I had a growing sense of purpose. There was something I was supposed to be doing, something the world needed from me. I envisioned it as a pair of shoes that were custom made to fit me and only me and they were waiting for me to step into them but I had no idea what they looked like or where they would take me. I was aware of two schools of thought on choosing a career, the “do what you love and the

“The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.”rn — Oprah Winfrey We all have a calling in life. We are here for a reason and the dreams we hold inside us give us direction. But so often we push those dreams to the background, afraid to make a change. But when you have the courage to live according to your passions and purpose, you live a more meaningful and joyful life. Here are some of the many benefits of knowing your purpose: 1. It gives you clarity:

Imagine leaving every creature comfort you have to embark on life in a developing country, dedicating yourself to helping the poorest of the poor – the forgotten children of that nation. Imagine saying good-bye to your big house, luxury car, designer clothes, and technological gadgets so you can live among the impoverished. That’s exactly what one person did, and he’s never regretted his decision.

Are you one of the majority of people who, with the best of intentions, set new year resolutions, only to have them fading into distant memory by the end of January?

Internet marketing, admittedly, can be tough. If a person is unsure how to successfully navigate the industry and avoid common pitfalls, this is especially true. The most common fatal mistakes in Internet marketing often involve people blindly following individuals that purport to be or who are considered to be “gurus” and not having an adequate amount of capital for the first six months of an Internet marketing endeavor. Laziness and trying to do too many things at once can also lead to IM failure.

Cynics say there is no evidence for reinca ation. Based on the presumptuous and angry reactions we sometimes receive about the idea of past lives, it seems like some people don't want any evidence to exist. Maybe they don't like the idea of having to come back and suffer the consequences of their bad behavior. Hardcore skeptics of reinca ation who commonly accuse believers of lacking intelligence, usually base their narrow-minded viewpoints on little to no research about the topic. Who is being gullible?

“There’s never enough time to do it right, but always time to do it over,” so the old saying goes. Yet when it comes to doing something wrong, there’s more than just time and money at stake. “Wrong” comes with a much higher price tag than we might ...

For years leading up to 2012, spiritual-types who were sick of the way the world was heading could take comfort in the promise of a new era that was predicted to begin on December 21 of that year. The Mayans, known for their astronomical expertise had supposedly predicted it. In addition, St. Malachy’s famous Prophesy of the Popes, which predicts when the world as we know it would end, also correlates to about the same time period.

Have you ever wondered what will happen after the death of your physical body? Some believe they will cease to exist.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is the largest NDE website in the world with over 4000 experiences in over 23 Languages.r

Many folks think that wealth or money-making is as simple as praying and waiting until God rains down money from heaven. The above belief could only amount to a myth and equals frustration. The Bible teaches believers how to make huge legitimate money in a simple formula - "Cast thy bread upon the WATERS and thou shalt find it after many days....Sow thy seed in the morning and in the evening withhold not thy hand” (Eccl. 11). The Lord Jesus also taught about a sower who went into the field SCATTERING seeds.

The first shall be last, the last first. Many hard core materialistic scientists are adamant in telling us that our consciousness is a product of chemical processes in the brain, that the near-death experience is just a figment of a contorted imagination, that death is the final outcome of life and that we only live one life. Then our consciousness is extinguished and that is it. Finito. They know better and they readily ridicule those who have a larger perspective and a different view than theirs.r

Simply put, the law of abundance states that whatever a person thinks about or talks about comes to fruition.

Strife is a fact of life. No matter how much you try to get along with certain individuals in your life, disharmony prevails. It’s like they are driven by a demonic lord to make your life difficult.

Below are five tips to deal effectively with difficult people:

What’s the difference between spirit guides of the Light, and other unseen entities? How do you know if your spirit guide is of the Light, or instead a troublemaker or even a dark entity? We’ve had many experiences with both benevolent and malevolent spirits and want you to understand the difference so you can avoid trouble. Here’s a recent e-mail we received about the subject:

It’s hard enough dealing with unseen, toxic energy while living a quiet life, especially if you’re spiritually sensitive. Lost souls and dark energy are everywhere, thus it’s important to periodically clear the spiritual debris and protect yourself. Most people would benefit from a Spiritual Detox. For celebrities, the problem is compounded because they’re targets for attention, both wanted and unwanted, and energy (or vibes or however you would like to view it), both positive and negative. Most don’t know how to remove bad energy and protect themselves, or even that they need to.

During a trip to Japan with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, I was impressed with the openness of the Japanese people toward Ho'oponopono. In Okinawa and Okayama. More than 1,000 people attended lectures in each place, despite swine flu warnings. And we had the opportunity to share even more about Ho'oponopono during the many interviews. In addition, we had a small lecture and a special meal with such interesting people. We stayed ove ight at an Inn in Wara. What an incredible experience. First time for me to sleep on the floor--or almost on the floor.

After years of many past life regressions, we've learned to accept karma as a fact of life, and something that influences everyone, even if they don't believe in it. We believe that many people don't understand the real meaning of karma, which is a reaction from an action that was most often in a past life. It's not about punishment, but it can be about reward or a lesson. True or false? Which examples below are truly about karma? Relationship Karma

Have you ever had a goal you didn't meet? I used to have so many goals I'd feel overwhelmed. One day, I found a simple formula that works. Previously, I thought that in order to accomplish much, the emphasis needed to be on the "doing." Now I know goals are achieved faster when the "doing" is inrnalignment with the "being." To understand how to apply this shift in your thinking, take a look at these steps ... Step 1. Select a goal you really, really, really want. That means it's your goal, not someone else's. It's not ar

Never having experienced a psychic reading before, your expectations may be skewed due to the enormous amount of misinformation about psychics, astrologers and numerologists, mediums, and other similar practitioners. As in any industry, there are both treacherous and honorable practitioners in the psychic field. We’ve encountered both, though far more good ones than bad.

Long gone are the days when someone could easily be committed to a mental institution, or worse, simply for speaking up about their ability to perceive auras, past lives, or the future. Thank God.
