“A True Story of Destiny”

There is a man who has not taken care of himself his whole life. He ran from one relationship to another, never saved a dime, and what money he does have in the way of pension and social security he loses in one way or another. He has never taken care of his health, and he eat’s anything never thinking about getting sick. But he’s older now with diabetes and one heart attack, and many more health challenges. Yet family and friends love him, even though he does not listen to what they are say about eating right and saving money.

Dare to be different: As the Thorn from the Rose and the Darnel from the Wheat.

The great battles are not won by the arms. That would be too primitive: To kill in order to live belongs to the inferior kingdom. If you want to reach success, recognition and self improvement, do not look for applause, which is only the noise of the street, a passing light that will soon be off. Be conscious of your actions. Be responsible and think it over carefully before making a decision.

Mirror of Self Reflection

Mirror of self reflectio Age creeps up on us all slowly stripping away our youth then one day we look into the mirror and the body does not seem to match the sparkle in the eyes anymore. Then we begin to look over our shoulder at our past and think I wonder what would have happened or what if I had taken this path? The concept of there only being one life and a limited amount of time to live it is to most people like someone saying there is no Santa Claus. We simply want to believe in forever just like we wanted to believe in happily ever after as children.r

Law of Attraction Manifestation Exercise #1 - The Gratitude List

I guess it was about 10 years ago when I had hit one of the greatest "funks" in my lifetime. It was right after Thanksgiving. My husband had been let go from his job because of an untrue rumor someone had spread about him, and we lost a major Christmas bonus we had been counting on. My online business was doing poorly because people were saving their money for holiday purchases. We were behind in all of our bills, creditors were calling constantly and of coarse Christmas was

Prosperous...Yes You Are!

No matter how things may be unfolding in your life at this very moment, know that you are prosperous. I realized, just recently, that I AM prosperous. And if I am, then I’m sure you are too. If you’re anything like me, years ago, when I was new on the planet, I would have measured being prosperous based on how much I had acquired, accumulated, and accomplished. For example having a steady stable career, savings, retirement, luxury vacations, rental property, a business, time share and the type of car I owned.

The Awesome Powers of Dark Energy and Matter - A New Cosmology?

What is dark energy and what is its significance? What exactly is dark matter? Is there really a God and if so, what exactly is this Creator? What is all matter really made of? Astronomers say dark energy comprises 70% of the universe, while 26% is dark matter (90% of all matter in the universe) and only the remaining 4% is actual physical matter we are all so familiar with.

The Pranic Principle - Prana, Orgone, and Spiritual Energy in the Universe and Nature - Part 2

Large bodies of water seem to contain this prana and I feel that it must be, like water, a major and very important "building block" of who we are, otherwise we would not be so pleasantly sensitive to its existence as a source of blessing and nourishment to our souls and as such a powerful and perhaps necessary source of energy for our bodies.

Water is A Stream of Consciousness

We are water ... we flow together Sitting near a creek this morning, I was reminded how the continuous stream of moving water carries the experience and memory of every surface it touches and every environment is passes through before it arrives at the sea. Dr. Emoto confirmed what many water scientists had already known for many years. Water's molecules and clusters remember everything and take on the molecular structure of the memories most dominant in its experience. Water, turn, influences everything it touches.

Why Jesus’ Life is Important Beyond Religion - Karmic Redemption and Ancestral Bondage

No matter what religion you are or in what culture or part of the world you live in, the life of Jesus has changed your life. This also includes all who never heard about him and who have ever lived or died upon the planet. And it has nothing to do with man’s concept of religion. How so? How could the life of a man born over 2,000 years ago affect us today? The answer may be different than you think.

***Some of Bill’s Favorite Manifesting and Law of Attraction Quotes

“The way the Law of Attraction works is that whatever you focus your mental energy and attention on magnified by emotion is multiplied. So when you worry about money you are focusing mental energy on lack and scarcity magnified by fear and anxiety and this magnetizes even more lack and scarcity energy to you from the Law of Attraction.” “We experience whatever we choose to experience. Most people however have wishy-washy thoughts and they create a wishy-washy life.”

How You Can Raise Your Vibration and Move to a Higher Level of Life

What does it mean to "raise your vibration?" In these challenging times, you can sink into gloom or you can rise into personal power and self realization. The energy of the times supports your transformation into a being of higher self-knowledge and love. Everything is energy, and everything vibrates at a different frequency or rate. If you're vibrating at a fast vibration, you're closer to spirit. If your vibration is slower, you're swimming in the sea of human problems and dilemmas.

Subspace---The Final Frontier

What is “subspace”? Courtney Brown, Ph.D., professor of political science and statistics at the University of Georgia in Atlanta, and remote viewer and director of the Farsight Institute, appropriated this word from the Star Trek series, where it was undefined, and gave it a definition. He needed a term to “separate the physical from the nonphysical realms without imposing a more rigorous view of dimensional complexity on either of those realms.” (From p. 22 of his book Remote Viewing: The Science and Theory of Nonphysical Perception, 2005.

“A True Story of Love and Healing”

Once there was a young boy who went through life feeling alone. Feeling as though he did not belong, and that everyone was busy doing this and that, but he did not fit in.

It was frustrating for his parents that didn’t know what to do… so their frustration eventually grew to anger.

Are you bearing healthy fruit?

Matthew 21:18-22 (KJV): “Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

Do our bones hold the memory of Reinca ation?

Spirit comes to me in my dreams. Every night we go to the center of the Cosmos right within our own self. We go back to our Source to be healed and receive guidance. Eighty per cent of our dreams are compensatory, they help to analyze and solve the problems of the day. Sometimes they show us the future or the past. Déjà vu may be the reality that we go in our dreamtime to the place, circumstance or words that we will encounter the next day. I know when dreams are Spiritual, they are screaming symbology. I also know that some distorted dreams are from eating too much Pizza!

Healing Power of Friendship

Healing power of friendship is what I am so grateful for. Friends are one of the most powerful assets a human being could have. Life is challenging on this planet. With loving friends who have our back we know that we are not alone in the world. With the healing power of friendship we have a built-in support system to help us on our journey. It is so emotionally healing to share our weaknesses and challenges in life with a friend. Someone who doesn't judge us and instead listens to us share our pain is so valuable. Receiving encouragement and positive feedback is a gift.

Miracles; How To See Them

Do you believe in miracles? Do you think of a miracle as something spectacular that needs to happen? When I think of a miracle I think of when things that should’ve been challenging and painful, become effortless. I discovered this through surrender. Surrender becomes imperative when going through a painful divorce or separation. It was my saving grace during the most painful times for me. When you surrender it’s amazing how everything seems to fall into place.

Are you a CAVE Dweller?

There was an extended period of time in my life where I was a CAVE dweller. We all know people that are. CAVE is an acronym for Citizens Against Virtually Everything. CAVE dwellers are the people that look at life as a glass that is half full and complain about it. They complain loudly about the injustices that life has heaped upon their shoulders and have no problems letting you know about it. That use to be me!

Spiritual Landscaping

More and more my gardening skills lack enthusiasm. The other day, with grass freshly long from a deep periodic irrigation, I decided to mow the back yard. A few weeks ago, I brought the mower in to the repair shop for regular maintenance and the last time I used it, it started up fine. This time, I primed the carburetor and pulled the cord – again and again. After 43 times (yes, I counted!) I gave up. That’s when the universe decided to demonstrate a practical, yet very enlightening allegory. Priming the pumpr

***Some of Bill Austin's Favorite Relationship Quotes

“You don't forgive others to let them off the hook. You forgive yourself and others so that you can clear, heal, transmute and dissolve the emotional wounding, trauma, harm and damage that close your heart. “Release the need for drama! The soap opera aspects of our lives are like the waves that agitate the ocean surface without changing its inherent nature. The dramas in our lives appear much fiercer than they really are. They cannot upset us permanently unless we believe them and act upon this belief.

How Do You Feel?

Feelings seem to be becoming more fashionable than they were in earlier this century. Those of us who were born in the sixties and seventies still remember for the most part that children were to be seen and not heard. Little girls were not supposed to get angry, and little boys were not supposed to cry. Today, we see feelings in a completely different light. We live in a society that is beginning to understand that repressed feelings can cause issues of their own and that it is becoming more acceptable to be honest about how we feel.

Office Politics: Surviving the Rat Race

“The Apprentice,” produced and presided over by the mogul and billionaire, Donald Trump reminds me of the manipulations and treachery that are prevalent in most work places. In fine and proper language, it is called “Office Politics”. Backbiting, mudslinging and bickering are often the backdrop of most institutional setups. Camps, caucuses, groups and subgroups, all add to the fun and excitement of work place politics. It is indeed like a game of cards, where aces, queens and kings play each other out to attain desired goals.

The Greater One Within

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Greater simply means more. The One who is more than enough is in the inside of you. If you are in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the One who is more is on the inside of you. Because of this we have overcome. To hear many Christians talk, you would think the one who is less is on the inside of them. NO, the One who is more, the greater One is on
