How to Use the JARS to Manage Your Money

The jars system is an easy and simple way to manage your money. In the beginning I resisted this system. Eventually I gave in and began to see the financial rewards first hand: 1. Our net worth has increased by 45% over the past 12 months. 2. Created $800/month in passive income. 3. We’ve earned $200 in interest from our all four accounts. We use ING Direct Savings accounts, currently at 3.5% Interest. Why Physical JARS? I’ve had a few people ask me why I have the physical jars sitting on my desk.

A Buddhist’s rethinking of the Law of Attraction

As a pragmatic Buddhist, I felt a lot of skepticism when I first encountered the Law of Attraction (LOA). Many things I’ve seen really stretch my credulity. But the more I think about it, the more I see nuggets unde eath the hype that make sense to me, if reformulated a bit. While I wouldn’t go so far as to say the Buddha was a Law of Attraction proponent, I do think there is some common ground to be found between the two. We create our worlds through our thoughts

Scientific Proof We Live In A Simulation

Back in June 2009, I wrote an article titled “Proof That We’re Living a Life of Illusion” (http://thelaymansanswerstoeverything.com/?p=515). In it, I provided what I felt was overwhelming evidence that we all live in some kind of computer simulation. I also offered some simple explanations as to why I thought we did. At the time, the people who are open to believing in such fantastical theories excitedly agreed with the premise, while those who rely on hard-core scientific proof, did not. Well, a funny thing’s happened in the years since I wrote that article.

The Fascinating World of Pranic Healing: What in the world is it?

On the 4th of June, I had my most amazing experience in Pranic healing. I was treating someone who was recovering from a severe stroke that had left him a quadriplegic for six months, last year. His right side was very weak. In the first session that he received he saw a 50 percent improvement and he could raise his right arm and leg very high and also walk with much better coordination. I’m still a student and very grateful that I could bring so much relief to someone who

Suppression and Expression

In Awareness Engineering™ we have a saying that there is more energy held in suppression than in expression. By this it is meant that when we hold back from living life fully, from fulfilling our dreams, and being true to ourselves, we expend much more energy than when we flow with our gifts and desires. We all do it in one way or another. We hold back disclosing a part of our beliefs because we expect others to criticize them. Or we resist pursuing our passion to become an

Opposing Viewpoints--What Happens After Death

The life after death debate includes two main viewpoints. Either you believe in life after death (the afterworld, or heaven), or you believe that once you die your consciousness simply ceases to exist. Below we outline the two general belief systems regarding the life after death debate symbolized by two different individuals. 1. The first person believes in the body and mind and nothing else. He believes the concepts of heaven and hell are myths and the universe is chaotic and isn’t interconnected with humans.

Reinca ation: Busting the Choosing Past and Future Lives Consciously Myth

New Age urban legend suggests that you’re empowered through “ascension” to consciously manipulate your past lives and future lives to live happily ever after in a never-ending utopia without any personal adversity. All you have to do is spend enough money on the services of the gurus who spew such nonsense, excuse us, who divine such information, and you’ll be on your way to permanent bliss.

Top 7 Reasons So Few People Have and Keep an Ideal Relationship

The most common reasons so many people are seemingly unable to find a long-lasting, ideal, harmonious, fulfilling, compatible relationship may include some of the following: they like being single; they aren’t comfortable with the prevailing relationship models of today; they’re holding on to the past; they waste time with people who are not compatible; they didn’t use the right manifestation techniques; the ideal, life-long relationship is largely a myth; it’s not part of their path at this time.

Evolution Has Been In The Bible All Along

Ever since Darwin published his infamous On the Origin of the Species in 1859, science and theology have been at war over the theory of evolution. The irony is that evolution and all its aspects—natural selection, survival of the fittest, genetic mutations—all appear in the Bible as clear as day. In fact, even a “missing link” explanation that science has still not uncovered appears in there as well. Is it found in some lost book, obscure passage, cryptic verse, or esoteric translation? No, it appears in an entire story that everyone knows—the story of Noah’s Ark.

Spirit Possession or Brain Disturbance--You Decide

Severe possession by lost souls and sometimes even demonic entities is, we believe, a serious yet largely overlooked problem. Spiritually sensitive and otherwise susceptible people, such as abused children or people who abuse alcohol and, or use drugs, can unknowingly be a host for all sorts of lost souls and dark energy. The hosting experience can endure for hours, days, years, or even a lifetime.

Caution: 6 Types of Demons

Do demons exist and if so, are there different kinds of demons? We've been clearing people and places of dark energy for over 13 years and we believe the answer is yes to both questions. We've learned that while there exists "good" and "bad" energies due to the polarity of the universe, there seems to be different types of dark energy or demons too. Certain demons flock to certain types of people and situations, and their influence can be anywhere from subtle to disastrous. Political demons

Words as Barriers

Words are very powerful, not just for the conveyance of ideas, and communication, but as a way to manifest ideas into reality. They have an energy that can attract or repel people and events, causing you to gain, or lose, what you desire. The words you choose is a major part of the action phase. They can act as a call to action within yourself, or others… or, they can become your excuse and barrier to success. These words are small; they’re easy to say, and come trippingly off the tongue. We often don’t realize we’re even saying them. That’s part of their power.

The Science of Raising Your Vibration

Anyone who travels within spiritual circles has probably heard about “vibrations.” The context is usually that someone with a higher vibration is somehow more spiritual or that the goal of the individual is to raise his or her vibration. But what does this really mean? Is it all just spiritual mumbo jumbo or is there actually a science behind vibrations? As you probably figured out from the title of this article, I believe that there is absolutely a science to this spiritual concept. And I believe I can prove it.

Queen of Death

I had a very powerful experience this week. I was flying home from Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference, and the woman next to me was in tears.

Numerology and the Number One: What Those With a Lot of it Enjoy

Since the late 1980s, we’ve developed our spiritual theories that stem from empirical study in conjunction with a very complex system of checks and balances involving handwriting analysis, intuition, and comprehensive astrology and numerology. Personality, key life circumstances, and timing trends are symbolized by groups of factors--patte s--in the comprehensive charts. Pertaining to comprehensive numerology, we sometimes encounter a subject who has a very significant over- abundance of a certain root number, such as the number one.

What Your Guru is Not Telling You About Karma

We define karma as everything you say, do, or intend coming back to you in equal measure, mostly from past lives. What you do now will likely come back to you in a future life, not in your immediate future. Everyone has endured a negative experience relating to career, relationships, family, friendships and, or other parts of their life. But that does not always reflect payback for having done something negative in the past.
