The Mystery of Death As we approach the final adventure which will take us alone and uncertain into the unknown realm of death, each of us speculates upon what will lie beyond. As Socrates said when he faced his own execution, there are only two possible outcomes. Either death is complete oblivion, a final extinction, as in the Judaic view in which nothing but decay lies beyond the grave, or there is an afterlife. It is the nature of this possible afterlife that creates fear

New Age prophets and their religious teachers spoke of various convergences and impending disasters around the turn of the century, of fire and earthquakes, famines and floods. And then there were those charismatics, wiser in the ways of the world of commerce than their more esoteric cousins, who preached the gospel of âthe laws and the profitsâ and all their brethren were amazed at how well they prospered.nnnAnd so it was as the jet neared the coast of North America, I r

âA matter of perspective,John,â she replied. âYouâre as old as the hills or as young as a newborn day. It all depends on you and how you perceive your world. You donât see things as they are,you see them as you are.â âThen if Iâm seeing you as I am, I must be in pretty good condition myself,â I said with a grinning wink. âMuch better than you want to give yourself credit for,â she replied.nnnâThank you,â I laughed.nnnThe waiter brought our meals and

There can be a number of reasons why you should undertake OSHA online training.nIt will enable you or your employer to reduce the costs of training. Class room training is relatively expensive compared to online training.nIt also saves time. Rather than spending time in off-site attendance of training sessions including travel, the theory parts of the relevant OSHA courses – for example, Hazwoper 40 (for full time site workers) and Hazwoper 24 (for occasional visitors)

Their mother would have really been proud of them. Especially since her death, the bond forged by the three of us was extremely strong. We delighted in simple pleasures,like a family barbecue on the back porch or just gathering around the kitchen table commenting on the latest news. Sometimes when I look at them,I realize that our children come to stay with us for only a very short while. Obvious as it may seem, everyday they are with us is one less day we have them. Eventual
Chakras are seven centres of motions of the essential life force (prana). They are part of the subtle energy system and have a vital part to play in healing and health. They are basically subtle energy transformers, and are located on a physical level all along the spinal column and interconnected with the endocrine glands and nervous system. These seven subtle centres of consciousness can be thought of as locations where the soul links to the material body. Each chakra is re
Gideon took another sip of coffee,leaned back in his chair and looked at me through half-closed eyes.âItâs been such a long time since weâve done any fun things together. Marla and I have checked with others in the company and theyâve all agreed that we should take you along on one of our travels. Even the Chief thought itâd be a good idea.ânnnâA trip? Super! Iâd really love that!â I said,bubbling with anticipation. Those who worked for him always referred t
The battle between Lord Ram and demon Ravan took place for 2 months. After this what happened to the monkeys, bears etc who were brought from Mount Rishi Mukh? After building the bridge did Nal-Neel retire with pension? Were Bharat and Lakshman relegated to merely fanning Lord Ram? No, definitely not! They were all immersed in creative activities and were making plans for return of the Golden Era. Lord Krishnaâs friends, the Gopas who helped the former lift the Govardhan Mo
I sat there in a state of blessed bewilderment as they landed, converging all around me. Some alighted on the branches of the mango tree and others landed next to me on the ground. Most were tropical birds although some were species I had never seen. There were kiskadees and blue sackis, red-billed toucans and spur wings, blue gauldings and scarlet ibis. The strangest part of this incredible scene was that each bird carried a tiny book in its beak. The books seemed to be mini
âWell, did you miss me?â he teased as casually as you please.nnâOf course I missed you,â I replied. âYou and Marla just disappeared one day, and the way I figured it you must have died, because I never heard from either one of you again. Itâs been years, Gideon. You do have this habit of disappearing for years and re-appearing in a most unexpected manner.ânnnâI certainly didnât die, as you can clearly see. Iâve just been away doing other things. But itâs
âThatâs one of the main reasons weâre back with you,â said Marla. âThere are other reasons, of course, but this is by far the most important. By the time weâre finished with these adventures,thereâll be no need for us to work with you in this way and youâll go on to finish the task you had set for yourself. Youâll sing your song, youâll accomplish your mission, youâll fulfill your destiny, so to say.ânnnâOne secret you say? Only one? Arenât you awa
Clouds hold a special attraction for me,especially when Iâm flying above and can enjoy them from this unique perspective. They seem so angelic, so pure, so easily shaped into sculptures of the imagination wherein one can read all sorts of strange tales. I watched the Volkswagen beetle cloud as it began shifting its form into wispy little alphabet letters. At first, vapory patches seemed to break away and almost disappear before my eyes. This strange cloud seemed to have a w
As our bags were being taken to our respective rooms, Marla told me that she would see Gideon and me on the balcony around dinner time in a few hours. That seemed like a good idea and would give me a chance to be alone and relax for a short while. I enjoy company tremendously but, every now and then, I have this overwhelming need for solitude â no crowds, no chatty friends, no anybody, just I, my God and myself.nnnThe room was more a suite than a regular hotel room and the
I glanced at my watch, noticing we had less than an hour or so before touch down. Dinner had just been served, but I had no desire for airline food. Not far from the airport is a café-style restaurant where I frequently stop when I travel. I thought Iâd stop there on my way home and grab a bite. Seeing Gideon again after all these years had rekindled in me a great curiosity about life.nnnMuch had changed since the first time I met him. While on a business trip, his car had
Do you feel your kitchen is cluttered even after several rounds of systemization? If yes, fault may not be necessarily yours. Culprit could be your bad kitchen design that does not let anything be at its right place. Kitchen is a small room that incorporates several small and big things. Because everything over there is significant for cook, kitchen must be organized in a way that every appliance or other assets are easily accessible. This is possible only if you go for right
âMost of your questions will be answered in time,âhe said.âRight now, Iâm just supposed to tell you that Marla and I will be working with you again. Glorious adventures ahead, John! Now tell me about the children. How are they doing?ânnnI always had the impression that he knew most things, but here he was asking me about the children. Didnât he know? Perhaps,he was just trying to start a conversation.âThe children are fine,â I replied, âJonathan will be in c
âWell,â I asked, âwhat are you doing in this neck of the woods? I know you just didnât happen to be passing by? You must have something specific in mind â thatâs why youâre here.ânnnâHe seems to know us only too well, Marla,â Gideon said with a wink. âBut then again, John, we donât always need a reason to see you. Friends, no matter where they are, love to get together just for the fun and enjoyment of each otherâs company. Youâre a dear friend of
âInteresting,â I murmured,âbut I never seem to be able to figure how not to get stuck in a situation.ânnnâYou get stuck in a predicament when youâre too attached to outcomes. If you worry too much about how a situation will resolve itself, if you are desperate, if you are full of fear, if you try to force your way out, you get stuck.â âSo donât worry, donât try to find a solution? Is that what youâre saying, Marla? How could you not be scared in the mids
My first few days back home were spent going through mail, returning phone calls and playing catch-up with what was happening while I was away. Marla and Gideon were a pleasant memory and I somewhat relegated them to the background of my mind,especially since I knew they would be visiting occasionally.nThe children and I spent quite some time together chatting about what was going on in their young lives.n nnJonathan kept me busy with questions and arguments about the world a

I sat silently for a while, gazing at Marla. She had appeared beautiful before, but now she was ravishing. She pretended not to notice as she browsed through a travel brochure, but I knew that she knew I was looking at her. nnnâHmm . . . ,â she finally said, âif weâre going, weâd better leave soon. Just three hours left before our flight leaves. Iâve got our tickets. Gideonâs coming later.ânnnI sprung from my chair and without further delay announced,âGive m

Is the end of the world in 2012 truthfully the serious case? Can this end of the world 2012 doomsday event really seriously be in possesion of any truth? At no time formerly has a day in existence been so greatly meaningful to so many different congregations of the world. Fortunately, if you are reading this, then you definitely already understand the necessity of this issue. There is seriously no other issue that is of more importance to the world than the surviving 2012 iss
One of the most challenging experiences I have in my daily life is to stay focused on the present moment. It is so easy for my mind to skip forward to the future or lapse into stale memories. Although I’d like to think I’m older and wiser, I have found children are much better at enjoying (or being grumpy about) what is happening right now. If you don’t believe me, try convincing an infant to wait two hours to be fed, or a three-year old with a full bladder he or she can wait until you get home to pee.
When one parent (or even both) decide to work from home, it can be very difficult to fit a home office around all the space that your family needs. These home office designs can help mum or dad fit a workplace into even the smallest of spaces, as well as providing them with all the storage and functionality that they could want. Include a couch in one corner or along one wall of your home office space, as this not only provides a place for clients or visitors to sit, it allow
Somewhere between New York and London at 39,000 feet above the earth, my heart was at peace while my exhausted body and mind took the opportunity to rest. I had just successfully completed a one-week, business trip, which had taken me from one coast of North America to the other, then over the Pacific to down under in Australia. Mission accomplished in a fewdays,it was back to the United States and then over the Atlantic to London. nnNow I was returning home, filled with anti
I recalled my first flight as a teenager leaving one country for another to continue my education. The excitement of foreign adventures was mixed with the sadness of leaving my family. As the plane took off and the northern coast of South America dropped below the horizon, I remember brushing a small tear off my cheek, yet smiling at the glorious possibilities of exploring a new, fascinating and sometimes frightening world. It would be years before I would see my family again
âWell, itâs great to see you both. Off on a trip,I see. But then again, you couldnât be going to or coming from the same place,â I said as I gestured at their attire.nnnâNo,Iâm going to visit a friend,âsaid Gideon. âHeâs experiencing some difficulties in his business and asked if I could help him get things back on track. Iâll be away for a short while and then Iâll join you and Marla. Would you like to hear what we have in mind?ânnnâSure,â I repli
âWhat?âshe interrupted,âdo you have anything against a long-time friend meeting you at the airport? Gideon told you Iâd be here, didnât he? Sorry I hijacked your suitcase for a while. Couldnât resist the prank. You always look so amusing and childlike when youâre puzzled.ânnnâLike an amusing child, eh? Just how I want to appear. And yes, now that I think of it, Gideon did mention that Iâd be seeing you again soon, but I didnât think it would be this soon
During this period I was scheduled to attend a business conference at a luxurious location very similar to where I now found myself. My hotel room was much like this one, opening onto a balcony separated only by a panorama of glass. I had ventured out onto the balcony and draped myself over the rail, looking toward the sea. The beauty of the scene was so overpowering that I absent-mindedly started humming an old tune.nnnSuddenly, a voice to my right said, âIntriguing melody
There werenât any actual mountains on our Earth, just elevated land on some of the continents. It didnât occur until after there was another shift in the Earth crust creating mountain ranges on certain continents along with the help of the ocean sea pressure. Ninety million years ago the angiosperms emerged from the early Cretaceous seas and soon overran the continents. These land plants suddenly appeared along with fig trees, magnolias, and tulip trees. Soon after this t
âAnd what do you mean by âno one to help when youâre lost or need assistance?âWell, my friend, what do you think Iâm doing here? And why do you think Marla comes by? We are helping.Never, never forget. There is always a helping hand â always, always, always!nnnâAnd as to those who choose to be self-centered instead of compassionate, caring and helpful,let me repeat that ancient saying,âThe Mills of the Gods grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small.âNo an
I've written about the Law of Attraction many times in the past describing how what we put our focus on and the energy we put out to the Universe the most-whether positive or negative, frustrated or satisfied, in the flow or chaotic-is what we attract into our lives. I've also described how the Universe, God, Spirit, Source, Infinite Intelligence, whatever you choose to call your higher spirit, has natural laws that are what you might call "non-negotiable." >>>Learn More : ht
Even though, sixty million years ago, the land reptiles were on the decline, the dinosaurs continued as monarchs of the land, the lead now being taken by the more agile, and active types of smaller leaping kangaroo varieties of the carnivorous dinosaurs. Previously, there had appeared new types of the herbivorous dinosaurs, whose rapid increase was due to the appearance of the grass family of land plants. One of these new grass-eating dinosaurs was a true quadruped having two
There are a million student centric sites out there, but none of them really help me solve my daily *needs* as a student (housing, books, tuition, transport, etc). To solve these, I still need to go to the middle man (property dealer, college book seller, etc.) who is going to charge me a hefty amount for his services or I need to go around the campus sticking notices so that someone who can fulfill my need can find me. The second option, though tedious, seems to be more rea
Social Networking for the Other Side by Jeremy “JD” Doughtyr Social networking is a concept that is getting to be more and more a part of everyday interactions and virtual networking. They are adopted verbs of brand names making it possible to link information and people across the globe and in real time. This connection brings up an interesting question for those who consider themselves Spiritualists: is there a way to connect with friends and family members on the other sid
It was early morning in the dream and I was sitting under a large tree near my familyâs farm. It was a mango tree,one of those magnificent old giants native to the coastal regions of Guyana. It was the season when its leaves shimmered in multi-colors of gold, purple, green and orange. A soft breeze was blowing through the leaves and there was a peace that far surpassed anything Iâve ever known.nnnOn the ground next to me under the mango tree was a blue book with beautiful

The problems of next week would have to wait until this week was done. Nothing would ruin this weekend. Lulled in comfort,I must have dozed off because the next thing I heard was Marla saying,âWe should be there soon. What would you like to do when we arrive? Would you prefer to rest for a while or get involved in island life right away? Itâll be a few hours before Gideon arrives.â nnnâIâm looking forward to a wonderful weekend, Marla,â I said as I stretched and y
Being aggressive can be a great thing when it comes to changing any negative course of direction you might be on. Normally, Spirit would be telling you to take a more serene or cerebral approach. However, there are many times when people find themselves so stuck in a pattern that warrants nothing but frustration, that unless they do something more assertive the only thing that will happen is more of the same. Let us all make a pact to work together! Let all of us encourage each other to be confident, loving and successful in our endeavors!
About one million years ago, the immediate ancestors of mankind made their appearance by three successive and sudden mutations stemming from early stock of the lemur type of placental mammal. These early lemurs involved in the ancestry of the human species were not directly related to the pre-existent tribes of gibbons and apes then living in Eurasia and northern Africa, whose offspring had survived to the present time. Neither were they the offspring of the modern type of le
It had been a number of years since I last saw them. We were sitting on the back porch discussing a letter theyâd brought me from a friend. Since then, no word, no communication, no sign from either one of them. It was almost as if eternity itself opened up and swallowed them forever. With these thoughts in mind, I pressed the button for a flight attendant. I had the greatest urge for a steaming cup of coffee.nnnIt couldnât have been more than a few seconds before a fligh
âWho are you?â You might ask. Well, the answer is, âa human being just like I am.â And, we are all connected. How do I know? Well, itâs in the Book of Urantia. The life carriers, messengers from our Divine God, placed life plasma on our planet, Earth, a very, very, very long time ago, as our Earth began to evolve. It took thousands of years for us to develop as we are today. The color of oneâs skin simply happened and that, too, is found in the Book of Urantia. It
