Free Will vs. Fate -- Story of Three Spiritual Aspirants

The fate vs. free will debate involves three main points of view. Either you believe everything is fated, nothing is fated, or somewhere in between. Below we outline the three general belief systems regarding fate vs. free will represented through three separate spiritual seekers. 1. The first seeker believes there’s nothing she can do to improve her lot in life. She contends that everything in her life is fated so why bother trying to make it better?

Soul & Ego: This Human Trip

What is this human earth-trip about, anyway? I found myself saying to a client today: We are souls on earth, here to unfold our potential from within. And we have no idea what that potential is. What are we to do? First we need to turn the spotlight of our attention inward, where that potential resides. We need to invite it to grow brighter and reveal its light and nature to us. We need to listen inwardly, so that we hear its impulse to act and express, hear and feel its messages to us, and sense its reality. It is subtle, it is quiet; it takes careful, attuned listening.

Expeditions in Faith: Your Purpose is Your Challenge

What's your great challenge in life? What is that theme that has run through most of your life? Some great challenges are: not enough, fear of failure, trust issues and speaking your truth. Just because we are experiencing a challenge doesn't mean: • that you are "doing" something wrong • that the Divine doesn't love you or listen to you • that you are unworthyr In fact, your challenge can allow you to have a deeper relationship with the Divine, be of service to others, and help you turn toward Universal truth (that you are part of the Divine).

The False Schism of Modern Life

Without stopping to consider what your personal values want to contribute, quickly think of the definition of success. If you allow yourself the liberty of being completely honest, you probably conceived an image of some phase of material opulence. The US and associated WASP allies have developed the most opulent culture in the history of our earth, that we knew of, yet still there seems to be something missing. There seems to be a disconnect between what we have experienced,

3 Ways To Choose Service Not Servitude

I define true service as sharing your gifts and talents with the intention to be of service to all involved (that means me). I find the key to be of true service in my business is the belief that “I’m being loved, supported and provided for by the Universe.” Also, to be of true service, I had to let go of people pleasing. I also had to determine what I truly wanted and how I feel before saying yes to anything (this is an on-going process). I trust that this tip will help you to see when you are in service or servitude. 1. The Intention Behind The Servicing

The Truth About Find Your Soul Mate Now Programs

You’ve probably come across love life promotions such as, “Hey, vulnerable, uninformed, desperately lonely person, find your soul mate in 30 days or less and delude yourself that you two are even moderately compatible because anyone is better than no one. It’s such a terrible thing to be single, right?” The offers aren’t phrased quite like that, but they usually include impossible to fulfill promises. You know the type-- ”Find Your Soul Mate Now!” What they fail to mention is that they’re instructing you how to form more of a business partnership rather than an authentic love connection.r

Over the past 25 years of reinca ation and past life regression research, we’ve encountered many disbelievers.

Though we're all capable of making the transformation, we can struggle with having the faith in our ability to do so. Too often, what stops us from pursuing our dreams is not that it's too difficult, but that we think it's too difficult - so we don't even try.

The Role and The Soul: Its Your Life So Be True To Your (Inner) Self

According to the Theory of Relativity, the speed of a moving object is relative to one’s reference point, evidence of which we see in every-day events. A 747, for one example, is clearly moving at immense velocity to anyone watching from the ground, while people inside the plane read and eat and sleep in an air-controlled space which to them does not appear to be moving at all. You might say that a person’s point of view with regard to that aircraft is based on their role in

Taking 100% Responsibility - Peace Begins With You

We are always waiting for things to resolve, for things to change "outside" of ourselves. In reality, when we are at Peace, everything and everybody does change. Everything and everybody are just our memories. As we experience turmoil, fear and anxiety, we can clean with those memories. We can let them go, knowing they are just memories playing. As you erase memories, they are erased from everyone else. So, again, you find peace of mind when you take 100% responsibility. You know that as you let go of whatever is not you, you can find that peace of being yourself, of knowing better.

Complicated Karma Case Study

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.

What You Need to Know About Mediation

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.

Most people feel that they're not yet living the life they really want. Oh, there are some portions of it that are satisfying but in other areas there is still a lot of striving going on. Maybe this describes you or someone you know. In the early years, it described me, too. Sure, I received my share of accolades in school and in my career, but it was still tough to sustain being happy and at peace with myself. I was fascinated with the fortitude of people that didn't let adversity get in their way. I wanted to be that person that could remain positive no matter what the circumstances.

3 Ways to Keep Your Commitment To Yourself

Our internal relationship is the material that we use to create our reality. If you are experiencing "commitment issues" in your outer world, the place to look to transform that is in your inner world. 1. Make the Choice Sometimes we are afraid to make a choice so we sit on the fence and wait for a sign from the Divine. The problem here is that most of the time we are in fear, so we can't "see" or "hear" the sign from the Divine. Start with the commitment to yourself. To listen to yourself, to love yourself, and to be aware. 2. It's Not You, It's Me
