What are your feelings on the subject? Do you correlate the words âlife purposeâ with persons like missionaries, scientists, nuns, priests, or maybe doctors? Have you fallen into the worldâs trap that limits âmeaningfulâ or âsignificantâ work to a few select people?nnThe truth is that a life of purpose is something you are supposed to experience. In truth, living with a sense of purpose is only identifying for yourself what you expect from life and what type of

Modern science knows of only a fraction ofnthis planet’s complete history. Modern, Western religions’ biblical historiansntell us that “creation” occurred about 13,000nyears ago and that the first human (“Adam”)nappeared around 11,000 years ago. In contrast, conventional science says the ...
Wouldn’t it be nice to have an extra push to be motivated to eat healthily and exercise often? You could try diet pills, but those have side effects. Hiring a trainer and personal chef would be nice, but may not be within your budget. Many people know what to do to lose weight, but then gain it back, and then some, eventually. While they temporarily changed their behavior, they didn’t address what ultimately overruled it: their mind.
What is the secret of life?nnOften, we ask ourselves this question when we find ourselves in a situation or faced with a problem that doesn't feel good, usually related to some health, money, work, career, relationship, family, or other issue.nnOther times, we ask this question when we get something that we thought we wanted or desired and yet somehow, still feel empty, unsatisfied, or detached afterwards.nnCan you relate?nnSo, what is the secret of life?nnWhat is life's real
War and peace are on the minds of a lot of people these days. The thoughts of conflict creeps into our minds and infests our daily lives. Peace is interrupted. Yet peace is one of the top things that we strive for the most. So where is it? To have peace you must be at peace; at peace within ...
So often we beat ourselves up over things we want to do differently. Whether it is a behaviours we want to let go of or a relationships we want to enhance, often times something stands in our way... usually, ourself.
It’s easy to get caught up in seemingly important material, physical, and other labels because it’s the nature of everyone in society to judge based on those labels. The real, spiritual you is not your race, personality, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight, muscles, legs, breasts, biceps, butt, hair, lack of hair, beautiful or not face, fit or not body, net worth, car, friends, lover, family, city, state, country, clothes, home, pets, toys, habits or addictions, illness, or political affiliation.
Dr. Richard Gallagher, professor at New York Medical College and Columbia University, believes possession and demons are real. He is the author of Demonic Foes, A Psychiatrist Investigates Demonic Possession in the Modern United States. https://www.yahoo.com/news/apos-demonic-possession-real-victims-081531844.html?soc_src=community&soc_trk=marnr
Do you ever wonder how you fit in to the universe and why amongst millions and millions of people why you are here? How do you stand out? How do you make a difference? Also how do you measure your contribution? Is it enough to touch one person’s life, 10 people’s life, a 100 or do you have to change the world? Many will go through life without ever asking this question, nothing wrong with that but if you have asked this question then read on. This is for those of us who have taken time out from our daily grind to ponder the mystery of life.
Sex is a wonderful part of the human experience. Most adults are aware of the potential physical and emotional pitfalls of sex, but few know it’s possible to pick up toxic energy from sex. Although it's near impossible to measure with conventional science, those sensitive to other people's energy know that sex is an energy exchange, and it’s easy to absorb good or negative energy from your partner. You might notice how another person's energy can influence yours, if you pay attention.
Many people spend so much time and energynon their love lives, striving for the idealnrelationship. While self-love is the only truenlove in our view, it’s understandable why thenfeeling of being loved and accepted by anothe is so desirable. Along the path to finding compatible ...
The most overlooked quality that makes or breaks your career success is not luck, but personal timing. We’re not referring to electional astrology and numerology, where you utilize auspicious universal indicators such as a New Moon or 1 Universal Month to launch a new product or incorporate a business. Our findings tell us that personal timing, which is different for everyone, is much more important.
The text within the mysterious Emerald Tablet, authored by Hermes Trismegistus, states, “That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that is below.” According to hermetic tradition, the quote references the little world, or circumstances on planet Earth, symbolized by cosmic patterns or cycles seen within the visible skies, and beyond, throughout the universe. The operative word is “symbolize.” The patterns don’t make things happen, but do represent the orderliness of the universe.
Most singles searching for love believe they are ready for love. Who can blame them? They're doing all the things mainstream love experts recommend like keeping fit, making room in their life for that special person, and doing what it takes to meet new and interesting potential matches. But they may not be ready for love, based on the ultimate love life test.
"Its Time For A Change" Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2 As we come to the close of the year and we begin to reflect on this past year, while we look ...
How do you transform a life? You make one empowered step at a time. During this year I’ve been given ample opportunities to get out of my own way. As a conscious business leader, my desire is to fulfill the highest calling for my life – to step into my potential more fully and to make a positive impact in the world. To do that I’ve had to acknowledge that I’ve been sitting in the shadows; playing small. I’ve been in hiding. I question: “Who am I to consider doing something on a grand scale? I’m not good enough!”
Believe it or not, everyone has the ability to experience being happy. If you are someone who feels that happiness is difficult to sustain or that it is eluding you altogether, here is a crash course in chipping away at the barriers that keep you from enjoying life right now. 1. Take nothing too seriously. Nature doesn't stand still and neither do you. All of your experiences, whether great or crummy, will pass. Everything that happens is just an instant of time. We give it meaning and can choose how we want to feel about it.
It's 10:01 pm, and I'm rewriting the newsletter. Why? Today was a day of profound experiences, and I want to share them with you. I'm sharing my experiences with you because I truly wished someone would have shared their experiences with me. I would have walked the same road, but at least I would have known that there was support on it. I started and ended my day the same way -- with radio interviews (very, very different radio interviews).
Goals make us focus. Whilst lifeâs purpose provides us with a general direction, our goals give us crystal clear focus on what we need to spend our time and energy on. When you have resolved on a goal, you may or may not know how to get there; but because you have established a goal in your mind, you will be determined and focused to surely get there. Many people work hard in life, but without a definite purpose in mind. And as a result, their life ends up in an aimless cyc

According to life-between-life research involving past life nregression, souls can decide to stay on "the other side" rather nthan come back for another lifetime, especially if they've nworked through all of their karma during previous lifetimes n(which is very uncommon). Or they may decide to ...
Long-term empirical research tells us that the concept of karma is valid, though we regularly encounter people with misconceptions about the spiritual tenet. For example, we received this anonymous e-mail recently: “Who are you to tell anyone they deserve what happens to them. This is your belief, not a fact. I do not believe in karma. Period. You people have your views, and they’re your views, but kindly accept that there are those who disagree.”
Every moment of everyday you are creating something. Often we weigh ourselves down in what we aren't: not good enough, unclear, not loved, etc.
Gratitude is a powerful, even magical tool that you can use to improve your state of mind, deal with challenging situations, be more optimistic, and even transform your life. When you accept a situation you can’t change, and even express gratitude for what it is teaching you, the situation will likely become easier to tolerate. Gratitude makes life more pleasant. You can express gratitude for an unlimited number of things. Here are some examples below.
We’re often asked which metaphysical and spiritualnbooks we recommend. You’ll find some grains of truth, wisdom, and plentynof inspiration (“You can do it!--ra-ra!”) in mostnmetaphysical publications, especially the best-sellers. After all, you would think so many people purchasednthem due to ...
Part-2:The Mystery of Origin of Universe 1.0 Spanning centuryâs man has had the curiosity and quest to solve the puzzle of Whom, How and When the universe was created. The general belief is that a supreme authority that has been called The God created universe. In view of purpose and with some of his perceptions, man viewed God as the supreme power, creator of universe and man (or the Jiva). Also He made the laws as per which the universe functions.rnUniverse is vast, beyon

Hermes Trismegistus, the author named in the text of the enigmatic Emerald Tablet, said, “That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that is below.” We interpret these wise words of the Hermetic tradition to refer to the occult principle that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, and the macrocosm reflects the microcosm.
The truth about meditation is quite different from what the average, inexperienced person thinks of it. Public opinion is shaped by a lifetime of societal influence, such as through Hollywood comedies, written by people who know little about meditation, that lampoon meditation and other “kooky” spiritual practices. You can benefit by knowing the truth about meditation. Once you start practicing regularly, you won’t want to stop. Below we list common truths and falsehoods about meditation. 1. People of all walks of life practice formal meditation.
Tools only work if you feel a personal connection to using that resource. It is easy to be balanced and unconditional when your life is amazing. It is when we are experiencing a challenge or even just living our everyday lives that we can get caught up in old programming and fall into the perception that we are disconnected from the Divine.

Orthodox timelines suggest intelligent life and the modern form of humans have been around for about 200,000 years, and civilization began about 6000 years ago. But scientific anomalies suggest otherwise. For example, a meteorite found in Colorado fell from the sky in 1931. Meteorites crashing to Earth happen regularly, so this isn’t unusual. 90% of meteorites consist of rock, and the other 10% are composed of nickel and iron.
Don’t let the title put you off, the challenge was how to write this without sounding depressive or pessimistic , I hope that it’s neither, more of an observational article, one that makes you think and feel more positive about life. That, there’s someone out there, who is experiencing life in a similar way to you. I guess I can say I am the authority on this subject as I was a lost soul for the longest while and it seems I am destined to meet similar people. People who are experiencing things that I went through.r

The more I write, the more I read, the more I seek growth, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. One of the most recent books that I read was that of Viktor Frankl, âManâs Search For Meaningâ, the chronicles of his experiences in a World War II Concentration Camp. My first simple observation was that it is all too easy to bemoan our circumstances, whilst not appreciating the real suffering of so many around us. However, that would do no justice to the depth of th

Based on our experience with past life regression, life-between-life regression, documented near death experiences, and the after life research of Stafford Betty, we believe there is nothing to fear about death. When you shed your physical body, your soul moves on to a different dimension. Once there, since you’ll no longer be confined by the limits of your physical body, mind, biases, excuses, fears, and earthly programming, your perception of yourself and your actions in all your past lives will be crystal clear.
It’s very common for people to be inexplicably drawnninto bad relationships. Why does this happen? Life on earth is all about personal lessons. Whilenrelationships may not always give us what we want, theynalways offer potential for spiritual growth. The main reasonnyou are drawn to those who ...
Across the globe, it’s very common for spiritual seekers of all types to believe that enlightenment is something that you find through painstaking searching and sacrifice. Tales of magicians and gurus in distant lands such as Tibet and India entice aspirants to travel abroad for a glimpse of enlightenment. These beliefs appear to have formed largely due to what we believe to be a corruption of mysticism, an unhealthy emphasis on escapism and fantasy instead of authentic spirituality.
I've been thinking a lot about next steps - my next steps, the next steps you in my community are making, and the next steps that I believe our world is on the brink of. These are not just baby steps I'm talking about. I believe we're all on the verge of something big - a true transformation. And yet, the actual steps have to be easily do-able, or we will never take them. And that includes lots of tiny steps along the way. As we all have heard, a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
The ultimate goal of many spiritual seekers is to find enlightenment, which is another way to say awakening to spiritual awareness or illumination. A tall order, but with discipline it’s possible to make serious progress on your spiritual path. “I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It’s a journey of recovery. It’s a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It’s already there.” Billy Corgan
The further life goal should be Health, Wealth, Success. And Rolex can help a lot. Rolex Watches is a Swiss manufacturer of mostly mechanical wristwatches renowned for their dependability, prestige, and high cost. Rolex watches are considered status symbols by many people. Rolex is the largest single luxury watch brand by far. The Rolex Submariner belongs to the professional line of watches. The Submariner was the world's first watch designed for diving. Both were introduced
We are very complex creatures. If you have ever seen the Matrix (and if you haven't, please watch it, big metaphysical movie), there is a scene where Morpheus offers Neo the choice of two different pills: blue, you go back to the Matrix and forget about your new awareness, and red, you become aware, very, very aware.
Based on our research with past life regression, spirit release/ndepossession, and life between life, we don’t feel that there isnan otherworldly place such as “Hell.” If there were, it wouldnsupport the notion that there is a higher power that punishesnus for “wrong” behavior. We don't believe ...

What do you really desire and why? What prevents us from receiving it? And, why are we always trying to fix ourselves? What if you just let yourself be more open to being connected, lead and loved? How would that change how you feel each day? And, how would that change your life? I don't know any of these answers, but what I do know is that when I'm more open, I feel better. Let's connect and have a conversation with our Soul to allow us to be more open today.
