Read every psychic book you can get your hands on. This will not necessarily teach you how to develop your psychic gifts but will open your mind to the possibility of powers you as yet have not even been aware of as possible. When your mind can conceive a possibility it is much more open to developing these psychic powers. Hands on healing is another area you should look closely at. I have never met a successful psychic medium who does not have the ability to tune in to pain

The Catholic Church changed the day. The Catholic Press of Sydney, Australia, is emphatic that Sunday observance is solely of Catholic origin.nnSunday is a Catholic institution and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles.

Last week marked the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting. I was particularly pleased that its end coincided with Rosh Hoshana. As a bonus, Eid, the festival following Ramadan, coincided with Gandhi’s birthday. It all seemed fitting, somehow, emphasizing our participation in an American tradition that's larger than the sum of our own traditions.nnGrowing up in Southern California at a time when I was often the only Muslim around, I often felt alone in the circle

AND THAT’S MY TAKE… (ARE WE TOO FREE?)rn© 2010 by Curtis Sagmeister. All Rights Reserved. rnCan there be such a thing as being a society that is too free? Ask those who live under repressive regimes and the answer is a quick and resounding NO.

Which temptation was more challenging? Was it Potiphar’s wife or, perhaps it was the temptation to ask Pharaoh’s wine steward to help him get out of jail? All I know is that I would not want to be challenged by either, although I suspect that we constantly face them in different forms. Potiphar’s wife was desperate for Joseph. Rashi explains that it was more than a physical passion; she was convinced that she was destined to have a child with Joseph. The Kotzker describ

Sandstorm of Timen It's amazing to me at times how life can seem like a sandstorm ripping through your soul. Wherever you go you seem to get lost by the specks of dirt thrown your way.

Was their environment not perfectly safe, with clouds of protection, Manna, and fresh water gushing from Miriam’s well? That sure does not sound like a desert experience to me! I pic

Science has systematically shredded almost everything religion holds dear. We know through carbon dating the earth is considerably older than the eight thousand years that the Bible explains. We also see through Darwin that the vast array of species on this planet is the result of countless mutations that survive due to their fitness to exploit a given environment, not monuments of stagnant design of a creator. Galileo, even in the face of Catholic Church opposition, repeated

Late last year as both the NBA and the NHL moved deeper into the playoffs and closer to an eventual champion, we were reminded of how one team needs to win 16 games to eventually be the one to hoist the Stanley Cup or the Larry O'Brien trophy. While they didn't have to go undefeated, you'd still hear players and coaches say that that's when they have to peak. They needed to save their best for last. It reminds me of the story of Jesus's first public miracle at the wedding in
