CHOOSING ONE FROM TWO

The hour of neo creation is fast approaching. It is a definite fact that those times full of strife faced by us all today will not last long. Even if it remains then man will have to face infinite more hell like situations than the hardships faced by him today and thus human beings will burn to ashes in its painful fire. Yet God does not want his most beloved creation-mankind to fall down so despicably and would not like to see man totally destroyed. Hence very soon God will

How to Know Which Career is Best For You

One of the most common questions we receive is “What should I do for my career?” Some are studying toward a degree and questioning if it’s right for them. Some didn’t have parents or mentors who helped them develop interests other tha TV, sports, or video games, or they were urged into unwanted careers. Others want us to tell them what to do. They are so used to following directions and pleasing everyone that they have forgotten about their own inner needs and interests. This is an area where you need to be a bit selfish.

“There is Nothing After This Life,” or is There?

A family member recently told us, “When you’re dead, you’re dead. There’s nothing after this life.” Everyone has their own opinion, but that surprised us considering all we’ve written about the subject, and since she hadn’t told us her true views before. We strive for impartiality, so maybe we need to consider her viewpoint further. After all, there is so much confusion surrounding the issue of life after death.

Lift Yourself Into a Brand New World

Within each of us there is an expansive world of thoughts and feelings whose movements determine how we perceive and experience the world outside of us. While this inner-world of thoughts and feelings may not directly bring us what we see, it does profoundly influence how we see our world of relationships and events. The inner determines the outer. In other words, we are seeing the exterior but experiencing the interior. One simple example of how this works is when our heart

Moonstones

It was two years ago when I took out a map of the United States, closed my eyes, spun myself around and then pointed. I had told my family that wherever I pointed was where we were going to vacation. My finger happened to fall upon Solomon’s Island, Maryland. The family looked at me like I was crazy, but I asked them to trust me.

What Matters Most

These days life seems to be more challenging, intense and unpredictable than ever. In such circumstances it is easy to become pessimistic and fearful about the future.

Living and Working with Purpose

Everything that arises in your life is there for one purpose only -- to teach you to exercise an underutilized aspect of your life. Because work involves contact with other people, the underutilized aspects of your life can become more apparent as you compare and contrast yourself with others. Of course, this can only happen when you're present. Sometimes this can be particularly painful; it's a natural reaction to resist and avoid those aspects of ourselves that are weak. Bu

How to Let Go and Move On When It’s Over

Part of life is accepting that not all relationships and friendships are meant to last forever. People mature at different rates, change hobbies, meet more compatible friends, move away, grow up, grow a backbone, regress, progress, and fall out of love or in love with other people. “Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.” Oscar Wilde Sometimes it’s best to move on.

Turning Self-Doubt Into Self-Confidence

“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive. You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for.”rn — Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart Starting something new can seem daunting. It’s natural to experience some self-doubt at the beginning. Many of us have been told, in one way or another, that we’re “not enough.” That thought can rear its ugly head when we want to pursue our purpose and move in the direction of our dreams.

I notice that even though I have a thought- ‘don’t do that’ I still do it. I watch how sometimes I ‘obsess’ about something, meaning I think about the same thing over and over.

Numerology, Sex, and Love—Root Numbers 1-9 Part I

Pythagoras, ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, taught that numbers have mystical qualities. “All is number.” Pythagoras Considering the symbolism of numbers is all around you, it’s no surprise numerology is one of the most popular forms of divination. You’ve probably seen day of birth numerology, and if you’re skeptical, we understand. Our findings show us that instead of cherry-picking single factors such as the day of birth, pattern recognition involving multiple factors is the most reliable way to interpret personal fate, personality, and compatibility.

How Psychics Get Divine Insight

Question: “How exactly does a psychic see future events? Where does that insight come from?” Answer: The idea of magically perceiving details about the future takes some getting used to.

Numerology and Partnership Styles Part II

Numerology, as it’s known today, is rooted in number mysticism from over two thousand years ago.

This is true with astrology and other forms of metaphysical divination too. Still, you can get an idea of human character and personal timing through basic number mysticism, which has withstood the test of time.
