Paul Hellyer was the former Minister of National Defence for Canada who sensationally announced that world governments were deliberately covering up ‘secret files’ that reveal aliens have been visiting Earth for thousands of years, and are already integrated into society. These aliens he claims would be unrecognisable as extraterrestrial if you happened to pass one in the street. Hellyer was the first high-ranking official to go public with his beliefs in his historic speech at the Toronto Exopolitics Conference in 2005.

The 1960’s was a decade that heralded a new wave of film stars such as Paul Newman, Sydney Poitier, Audrey Hepburn, Clint Eastwood and many others. But for a twist of fate, one actor may well have ranked amongst such prestigious talents had he not made the decision to forgo his acting career whilst on the verge of international stardom. Rising star Christopher Jones was tipped to be a worthy successor to James Dean with a body of work in TV and film including David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970).

Confession… I love to lucid. I love many things about dreams, and — yes — among my favorites is the ability to get lucid. I started to explore lucid dreams in 2014, after stumbling upon a book titled ‘Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self,’ by Robert Waggoner. The author’s lucid dreams were so profound and amazing. I found myself wanting to experience what it’s like to consciously awaken in my dreams.

It takes courage to deviate from the most accepted world-view. Anything that appears to fly in the face of our mundane daily reality is usually dismissed as a hoax or fantasy in our majority rule society. Many people will simply not consider other possibilities, seemingly outlandish at first, yet will tend to believe unquestionably information derived from news bulletins, heavily laden with propaganda and untruths that suit the underlying agenda.

I think I might be on to something. I am well aware that my main struggle in this life is conquering my self-worth. When I first came face to face with that fact, the first tip of advice I read was to create powerful affirmations to revert the pattern. Whenever I caught myself with an emotion that reflected my low self-esteem, I would fight back forcefully with a solid affirmation in the hope that the discomfort would go away. I wonder if you've ever walked that path.

Online counseling course - How to become a therapist. Firstly let us look at why you wish to. Is it to understand yourself better? Or your partner? Or potential lovers and partners?

I sometimes come across people who get it into their head that even though they cannot sort out their own lives and desperately need counselling or

Why Meditiate? Keeping on with daily practises for spiritual enlighmentment, knowing what your tue purpose is, and using that deep sense of agape love to guide your daily activity. "Better than power over all the earth, better than going to heaven, and better than dominion over the worlds is the joy of the man who enters the river of life that leads to Non-Being." –The Dhammapada (~300 B.C.) Meditation is the great remover of fear, the breaker down of belief systems that don't serve your higher mind. The liberator from misery and suffering.

Getting old isn’t easy for many of us. Neither is living, for that matter and neither is dying. We struggle against the inevitable and we all suffer because of it. It seems we have to find another way to look at the whole process of being born, growing old, changing, and dying, some kind of perspective that might allow us to deal with what we perceive as big obstacles without having to be dragged through the dramas of life.

Our ancestors had a weird way of solving most of their problems. If someone were a social deviant or misfit, they would just kill them. If someone committed incest or treason, they would kill him. If someone refused to contribute to the community, they would bury them neck deep in the soil, and yes, you guessed it right. They would kill them. Even the people who were exiled were hunted down and killed sooner or later. Today, we live in a 21st century and we understand that k

Nowadays, Muslims are facing various difficulties regarding Islam, the Religion of Peace. The major issue Muslim community is facing that they are converting people to Islam by force and coercion. In the present times, the reputation of Islam is ruined due to several reasons.

In the Light of

Anne Leitrim’s mummified remains were recently found at her home in Bou emouth, Dorset. The 58 year old former neonatal nurse had been laid beside her bed for 7 years. Neighbours said they believed she had moved away, this despite her windows being left open. She was only found after bailiffs had arrived at her property to recover mortgage payments that were in arrears. They had to wade through a mountain of mail, waist-high to get in.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this amazing opportunity of witnessing this marvelous process.

Yesterday I hit bottom once again. What’s curious is that each bottom is deeper and darker than the previous one. It seems that all my lightwork is invisible, worthless and useless for this world. The feeling of separation that overflows me is the most overwhelming so far…

Take a cue from history & create the ultimate sleep retreat. Sleep and dreams were the foundation for healing thousands of years ago. In ancient Egypt and Greece, if you were feeling out of sorts or sick, you'd head over to the nearest dream temple. These sleep sanctuaries were the hospitals of the time. Except in those days the focus was on dreams. The Egyptian sleep temples were dedicated to Imhotep, a priest who was also the first physician in recorded history. And the dream temples in Greece were called Asclepieia, named for the Greek god of medicine, Asclepios.

It is a bit shocking that in the midst of all the astonishing scientific and technological knowledge that has been discovered/invented over the ages, confusion and disbelief still abound regarding the existence of other invisible or inaccessible parts of creation; there is also uncertainty as to whether human souls exist before and after physical death. Science and technology, which have helped in revealing that a lot of infinitesimal living things and particles that were onc

Is romance important to YOU?How romantic are you? It tends to be considered to be old fashioned now to be interested in charm, dating, getting to know someone and to use courtesy and court a lover.

The only instrument of Mind is idea. See with perfect clea ess and never become discouraged nor overcome by a sense of limitation. Know this:—that the Truth with which you are dealing is absolute. All of God, all of Truth, all there is, is at the point of man’s recognition; and every time you give a treatment, and all the way through it, keep bringing this back to your remembrance. Never struggle; say, “There is nothing to struggle over; everything is mine by Divine Right;

Sepp Blatter, who was once reluctant to incorporate goal line technology into football despite already being an established and successful addition to other sports including rugby and tennis, was quoted as saying, “Other sports regularly change the laws of the game to react to the new technology…we don’t do it and this makes the fascination and popularity of football”, appearing to suggest that the drama and chaos this created was somehow good for the game. Which is ironic really because drama and chaos is where he finds himself right now.

I’m in the incessant search of ways to expand my levels of consciousness. I’ve learnt that the tip of the iceberg is in asking questions without waiting for a logical answer, simply trust that the energy of the answer will arrive at the proper time and in the most suitable way. This technique has me making questions all day through. In the process, I've received the information that consciousness “includes everything and judges nothing.” Easy to recite and repeat, but how do I get rid of all the judgment? What distinguishes judgment from choice? What distinguishes judgment from awareness?

rnThe consensus among most Psycho-Spiritual philosophies is that we all have a cluster of primary character archetypes encoded in us that help us live in the world! One of the four universal archetypes (crosscultural) is known as the ‘Saboteur’. Yes!! in fact we do all have one! It’s function is to both wreck yet also warn us of our defeatist behavior so we may attempt to self correct ourselves. We do this best when we stop to observe the information within the Saboteur

Great thinkers of the world like Kant, Hegel, Aristotle etc accept that a certain supreme authority exists which has created this world. And yet they were unable to throw light fully in this realm of thought. All the religions of the world like Christianity, Hinduism, Islam etc accept that God exists. Each religion depicts God in its own manner and yet none of them have done full justice in defining God’s true nature. Of course all of them agree in one voice that God is all

A bugged phone can be a challenging issue for many people. While technology has evolved significantly over the past 50 years, people bug telephones today for the same reasons they did in 1960.

In addition, phone bugs are used by private individuals to monitor friends, families, lovers and business associates. The technology available to private individuals

Things Could Be Looking Up With The Help of a Dream. Handing a problem over to your dreams is referred to as 'dream incubation,' and it's one of the oldest and easiest ways to put your dreams to work in your life. It's incredible how many ideas and breakthroughs have been inspired by dreams.

There have been many tyrannical rulers throughout history. Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, had killed many people during the Great Terror, coolly dispatching with his political opponents and other Russians, and also as a consequence of his economic policies, caused the famine in the Ukraine which claimed many more lives. Approximately 23 million died during his tenure. Indeed, to this day many Russians remain divided on their opinions of whether Stalin was a hero or a villain.

There have been many adjectives used to describe the region we call the Middle East. One such description given by David Keyes, the executive director of Advancing Human Rights, a non-profit organization promoting human rights around the world, was the ‘Kingdom of hate’. Harsh perhaps, but be in no doubt, the Arab world remains a benighted place at this time where the harshest of punishments are feted out to its citizens for often minor transgressions, and where women’s freedoms are closely monitored and even revoked by their rulers.

The scene in Paris where a black man was prevented from boarding a train on the Paris Metro by a number of Chelsea football supporters was proof that despite being 2015, very little has changed.

They chanted, “we’re racist, we’re racist, and that’s the way we like it”. Overwhelmed and humiliated he gave up and walked away.

The Tennis clay court season is almost upon us, so a good time perhaps to revisit one peccadillo and often debated issue, that of prize money, specifically the correct amount that should be awarded to both men and women within the higher echelons of the game. With equal prize money in Grand Slam tou aments awarded to both genders, despite the clear disparities between them, it is starting to become an elephant in the room, with men the biggest losers in this arrangement, and who may have due cause to feel slightly aggrieved.

Everything seems to be still, and yet I feel the turmoil. The changes are not yet visible to the outside world, but my heart gladly receives the new dose of self-love and compassion. In the process, there's a race to conquer trust, some doubts rise to the surface to be released. There's also certain need to justify my apparent stillness, which runs together with the feeling that there's nothing to explain. Everything I've remembered so far helps, adds up... And it also confuses, contradicts. Inside, duality and unity coexist; it's a dark space, but safe and warm.

This afternoon, when I went to pick up my daughter from school, I was mesmerized by a mom breastfeeding her baby. The image brought back the bliss I felt during the fifteen months I gave my precious one the tit. The moment fleeted at the sound and the hustle of excited children getting out of school.
