Many a time history repeats itself. Seasons keep manifesting again and again. The sun rises again every 24 hours. A creature is born, it grows and then dies. Again this is repeated in the following births. The earth rotates around its axis for 24 hours and once in a year revolves around the sun. This has been going on since time immemorial billions of times. Yugas, Manvantaras, Kalpas etc keep manifesting. Stars, planets etc too rotate and revolve again and again. The cycle o

Before we can answer this question properly we need to have at least a brief definition of the term. A medium is a psychic who has developed their psychic skills so that they can communicate with spirits that exist in other dimensions. They can hear or experience the thoughts, voices and mental transmissions from the spirit world. A medium is receptive to the energies the spirits use to communicate and becomes, in effect, a vehicle for communication between the two worlds. Ma

Mysticism has it's roots in the mystery cults of classical Greco-Roman time. It is believed to have been derived from the term myein ("to close the eyes and lips", referring to the oath sworn by the mystes (initiates) to keep inner workings of their religion secret), and has over the centuries come to be known as secret knowledge. Religions across the World use the term to describe a quest for divinity, for unity with the one God or principle and/ or a personal experience of

by Cate Cavanagh Many people have a limited view of what Shamanism is and who is a Shaman. Many of us restrict our perception of Shamanism to an image of a Native American Medicine Man or Woman. This is certainly true however Shamans are all over the world and have always been in every culture and every culture. Any person enlisting the aid of the dead is a Shaman. The dead also include animals. Shamans can traverse from “here” to “there” and visit the other side. They receive messages either unconsciously or consciously as mediums. They also heal.

From material nature standpoint man is a weak animal. Just like other creatures feed their tummies, procreate and enjoy good bad consequences of various situations man too is born, becomes young and ultimately dies in old age. Such level of people can be called human beasts. They have no goal in life, no ideal, no responsibility and leads life as per his whims and fancies. Ultimately like other creatures he too dies. Amongst the world population half of them are of this statu

Some may wonder how I might be "mixing" spirituality, politics and psychic readings and psychics in a single article. The fact is that the word "psyche" actually means "soul" more than it means what many people think- mind. In fact a psychic should be one who is conversant with the functions of ...

The act of psychic reading dates back many centuries ago and is done using various kinds of mediums and tools. The act of using crystal balls for psychic reading was first initiated by the Druids, a Goidelic tribe. People from these tribes have been known to be descendents from Great Britain. This is why most of the witch craft, conjurers and other visionaries rise from England. Psychic readings are carried out for finding out answers to all most all walks of life. It can be

Mysticism and science already live together as Life; soul and body. All scientists are conscious life-forces that dwell in the physical bodies that are mere vessels for the existence of the Life-force in the material world. In other words, every scientist is a soul or spirit (if you will) living ...

The Sufi Experience, a new book by Sharon Marcus, is a provocative journey into the mysteries and mysticism of Sufism. Sharon Marcus identifies the inner contemplation and mystical traditions of her Sufi path as common property to all the major religions, while their goal and destination lie outside them, beyond. In her five previous books, whether fiction, nonfiction or poetry, Marcus' passionate devotion to the precepts of Sufism simmers beneath the lyrical writing and ex

I can definitely understand if by bathing in River Ganga all ones tendencies to sin are destroyed but if people say that it helps ward off punishment of sins then it means they will ceaselessly continue sinning. Thus the 1st leg of Gayatri Mantra is arrangement of dissemination of fruits of one’s actions or the Law of Karma. Not only must you understand this but teach it to others too. You must tell them that Gayatri Mantra is the sacred speech of great Rishis. The philosop

Are You Psychic? Most members of the psychic community agree that everybody has latent psychic abilities. They believe that these abilities may be more developed in some people than they are in others but that everyone can develop their abilities if given the right opportunities and training. Some people become aware of their abilities independently and seek to develop them further. Some people go through life using their abilities without necessarily identifying what they ar

The work arena of the Avatar existence of Almighty Lord is the subtle world. Those people imbued with divine energies gathered for a great length of time are induced to carry out tasks like era balance, managing and reforming world public and uprooting those elements that act unethically.

Mind power is the ability to overcome things using your thoughts. It is always better to use your mind for constructive thoughts. When we use mind power it is something that no one can control. With this energy we can shape the way our lives are constructed. Mind power is just the beginning of what we can achieve. I have used this all my life after I learned how to use it constructively. I don’t stay unemployed for long. I don’t worry about money anymore and I live my life t

The team got a call from one of the Real Estate agents we work with about a house she had for sale that had, “… really weird energy.” She said the owner’s sons always felt like there was something in the basement when they were growing up.

One blissful, unforgettable moment- the birth of a baby! We imagine all mothers praying for a healthy, normal, physically perfect baby.

Life. It is the birds of the sky, the verdant lush plants that grow on the ground, the beasts of the land, small and great. It is the air we breathe, the vast stretch of water that covers over 75% of our planet. Life is the resounding breath of God in the cosmos, emanating from the stars in the sky and the distant galaxies of unknown. But what is behind all this life? What gives the life of the universe so much energy and state of just being alive?

It is the special characteristic of Indian Spiritual Philosophy that it gives a clear understanding of both the spiritual and material methods of creation science. In the scriptures it is mentioned that once demigods asked Prajapati (creator): O divine father! You say that the worldly hardships of all who worship Gayatri are warded off, that they attain joy in this and the next world and also attain the supreme divine goal. But yet you have not told us who exactly is the one

Psychic readings have grown tremendously over the centuries. Since the time of the old civilization, even way back to the old prehistoric times of the Stone Age era, wizardry, sorcery and witchcraft were already performed in relation to circadian lives of the tribes, clans or ethnic groups. Psychic readings were already used in the lives of those people of long, long time ago. These ancestors based their divining through the location and placement of the moon, stars and some

"Never heard of it." I said when the doctor told me I might have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.

In the Paanini Sootras the word Yajna comes from: Yajayaachayatavicha uprakcharaksho nad. It means worship of God, association with saints and charity.

In the Purusha Sukta God’s form is described as ‘sahasra shirshaha purushaha sahasraksha sahasra pat’. God is said to have 1000 heads and hands.

In management of the world thousands of divine powers become his aides and thus help fulfill the task at hand. During special occasions of era transformation thousands of liberated in life souls become Mahakal’s aides and th

One question on many people’s minds refers ghosts and their existence. Many people argue on the subject of ghosts, are they real or a hoax. There is credible evidence to prove that ghosts are real demystifying skeptics’ arguments. Apparently, if you see a ghost today and tell to another person that you saw a ghost, hardly will the person believe you and will term it as simply a here say narrative. The listener is at will to decide if they want to believe the account or dismis

What makes a genius? Einstein said, “My comprehension of God comes from the deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.” We all have access to this genius state where we experience inner wisdom, increased intelligence and creativity, and infinite, unconditional love.

Walking on this soul path ensures a deeper connection with God, the Divine, and with the nature of the Earth.

In the Rig-Veda (10/7/6) it is said: O one with a divine nature! On your own you must perform Yajna/worship of demigods present in your intellect and surrender to them. What can a rank ignorant person do to you who are mature and pious? Just as you worship demigods, based on various seasons, so too, you have taken birth from supreme purity. Worship your body. O one with a divine character-perform Yajnas. Generally 5 Yajnas are daily performed by us all. Naimitika Yajnas too a

The latest in the meditation practitioner’s world is all abuzz with stories about the “healing power of sounds” also know as “sound healing”. Sound healing has been around for a long time but now only recently has started to be used and recognized as a legitimate therapy practice, from simple meditation to even operating rooms or acupuncture. Throughout the realms of new age therapy and personal wellness, from massage to shamanism to reiki practices, the healing power of sounds has permeated aspects of holistic and professional health practices.

Spirituality is the essence of the human spirit, and the knowledge and experience that we gain through our whole lives, especially as very spiritual beings. Spiritual growth must come from within, and that happens through a number of different paths; from meditation to prayer to song, we all enhance our spirituality in some way, whether you are aware of it or not. The question is how the spiritual growth process can be sped up - so that we can gain experience and knowledge more quickly, able to act on wiser decisions and live a more fulfilling life.

Most of us have heard the old adage of how some people see the cup half full and others, half-empty. I have taken it a step further: some of us have to make our own cup. There is a way to look at life or how life treats you. One person can be an optimist- life has treated them well or at least ...

People and religions around the world use the term mysticism to describe a craving for spirituality harmony with God or another being, and a personal experience of some kind of religious truth.

Firstly we should understand the term spiritualist mediums, these are the highly special people who have the ability to communicate with spirits, and who have the firm belief of the human survival after death. Throughout their life they try to educate others about life after death. The spiritualist mediums are of two types which are commonly associated with modern spiritualism and they are: 1. physical mediums and 2. mental mediums. Physical mediums include private séances in

To begin with, it should be pointed out that psychic medium, the commonly used term, is actually rather misleading, as it infers that there may be a non - psychic variety, so to speak. As it is, although not every psychic happens to be a medium, every medium does have psychic abilities. So what are mediums and what do they do? They will use their ability to communicate with spirits, most frequently those of deceased persons (although on occasion a spirit claiming never to hav

When I awoke at 4:44am, it was Easter morning of 2006 and I felt the presence of life all around me. The light from my headlamp seemed to startle me more than the herd of elk I was camped in the middle of! They raised their heads all around me and seemed as uncomfortable with my presence as I was with theirs. I guess they sensed I meant no harm to them because they moved away slowly. When I could see in the dim light, I began to prepare to go to the south rim of the Grand Can

I got a call from a gentleman in Vancouver, Washington. He wanted to sell his house. He had been showing the house for 6 months and nary a nibble. "Something is wrong, something is driving buyers away," he said. We arrived on a beautiful, early fall day. The house was fabulous, a custom-built home about 12 years old. The landscaping was entrancing and archetypically NorthWest. The owner is an antique dealer and a distinguished, published author of numerous books dealing with American silverware. Who could resist this wonderful home?

Just as the flame is a symbol of wisdom, national flag that of patriotism and image that of deity similarly the sun which renders the sky brilliant ceaselessly is looked upon as the symbol of radiant God and Savita.
