“What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.” - Norman Vincent Peale “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it,” remarked the Greek philosopher Aristotle.

I was in Kenya lately, visiting a Masai village when I heard a true story about one of the Masai tribesman in the village. Here's how the story goes... The Masai was walking from one village to another late at night, at about midnight. On the way, he met with a hungry lion. The lion had one ...

• Welcome Channeling • Embedding the Crystal SOL'A'VANA • Transmission of SOL'A'VANA into the Planetary Grid and to Eris I am Kryon and I greet each and every one with the immeasurable love. I greet the collective with the words OMAR TA SATT.

Did you know that nature has more of an influence on our well-being than most people believe? Sun light, for example, controls many important processes in the body – in a natural rhythm which adapts to the time of day and to the seasons in the year.

• On October 20, 1942, Fantappié presented his theory of syntropy to the Academia d’Italia in a paper called "The Uniï¬ed Theory of the Physical and Biological World." See http://www.syntropy.org/. • In 2015 Ulisse Di Corpo, physicist, and Antonella Vannini published “Syntropy: The Spirit of Love.” On Wednesday, July 15, 9:00am PT, 6:00pm in Italy, I attended a live webinar. The agenda included how ARV (Associative Remote Viewing) Relates to Syntropy, with Marty Rosenblatt as host. Ulisse Di Corpo was to discuss ARV, non-locality, and Love. rn·

Most scholars will agree the Gospel of John is a very important document on Christian theology... often times, more so than the synoptics, which are the works of Matthew, Mark, and Luke! Why? Probably because the way John the Disciple portrays Jesus Christ! John discusses two critical particulars in His Gospel: 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God! 2. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us! Only John's Gospel presents the concept of the ete al Word

Mother Nature, in the form of heavy snow, has blessed me the gift of time this morning. With schools closed and clients calling to cancel, the morning has taken on a slower, more relaxed pace. Sitting with a cup of tea, gazing out the window, I feel a gentle release, glorious unexpected time to breathe a little more deeply.

Have you been keeping up with all that's being reported lately in the online alte ative press? A reader emailed, asking for my feedback on some recent topics he's come across. For example, he wanted my feedback on David Wilcock's work at DivineCosmos.com, specifically on the articles David has written on global financial tyranny. I have read parts of David Wilcock's articles on global financial tyranny. I've also recently heard rumors about the arrests and/or resignations of now over 300 bank CEOs around the world. There's even a rumor that billionaire Bill Gates has been arrested.

• Biorhythm Adjustment I am Adonai Ashtar Sheran and I greet each and every one of you with the words OMAR TA SATT. So much is happening on your planet at this time. Whenever Ashtar transmits a message the energies have a balancing effect. Ashtar is very close to you human beings. Many of you know me very well because they are being trained beyond the veil by me and a group of the highest lights.

When I talk to people about starting a daily practice just about the first objectio I encounter is: "I don't have time to do that." For someone just beginning their search for self-improvement and growth that is a valid argument. For anyone who wants to find success, however they might define it, self-improvement is critical to that success. But how do you get to a point where you are committed to a morning practice that could take from and hour to two hours and an evening practice to wrap up the day, when you have yet to experience the benefits of that time sacrifice?

Have you ever considered how you are living your life? Do you have goals and a plan to achieve those goals or does life seem to just happen to you? Are you proactive or reactive in life? When you haven’t made a plan to achieve your goals, they really end up just being dreams; things you’ve always wanted to do, be or have, but don’t see how they will ever manifest into reality.

I am really enjoying watching the Winter Olympics. It’s fascinating to watch these young athletes do what they love to do; I can feel their passion in my own body. I am so inspired by their commitment and determination to live out their dreams NOW! As I watch these Olympics unfold, I see the parallel between achieving Olympic Gold and reaching the summit of spirituality: Enlightenment. It simply amazes me how life provides us with so many mirrors. Every one of us is born with the purpose of bringing the world a gift.

I am a person who requires quiet time and solitude to re-energize. I do this in meditation, I do this at silent retreats and I do this by taking time to read or just be quiet at home. I didn’t learn this about myself until my mid-40’s. Before then I couldn’t understand why I seemed so exhausted or depressed after feeling so great. I would go through spurts of energy; visiting with friends, networking for my business, spending time with my kids only to crash and burn after a while and ultimately isolate.

When I was a teenager, I used to fight with my sister a lot and it was almost always about using the computer. At that time, we only had one and I was somewhat addicted to an online game. Every day without fail, we would quarrel about who gets to use the computer first and for how long. Every time she went beyond her allotted time (because she needed to finish some school work) I would start a fight with her. Nothing good ever came out of it. My mother would intervene, scold the both of us and we both got banned from using the computer. I obviously blamed her for my misfortune.

The Benefits Of Having A Spiritual Communityr Father Peter Bowes Having a spiritual community accelerates your personal growth in ways you cannot imagine. The idea of being with spiritually-minded people who care about the same things and are dedicated to deepening their relationship to God is exciting for some and possibly scary for others. It can be exhilarating and inspiring because it increases the chances that you will see reflected in the eyes of others the real impact

Spring fashions rolled out over the last month or so. Being aware of such matters never occurred to me until I started shopping in front of the television. What can I say? It’s fun, convenient, and the home shopping networks have chatty gals willing to spend their time telling me what great stuff is perfect for me. I love how they work their schedule around mine and encourage me to have a cup of coffee and a snack while we get down to the business of updating my wardrobe.

It can be shown in the Lord's Prayer and numerous other Scriptures that true and complete prayer consists of four components: ATTITUDE, COMPASSION, TRUTH and STANDING. ATTITUDE - There are a number of attitudes which enhance prayer: Repentance, humility, joyfulness, patience, thankfulness, selflessness etc. or, conversely, There are a number of attitudes which inhibit prayer: stinginess, anger, selfishness, self-righteousness, self exaltation etc. Some examples can be seen in

Between watching Star Wars for the millionth time and finishing the book The Shadow Effect, I have been in heavy contemplation about the dark side, more specifically, in terms of The Shadow Effect, my dark side. There was a time when I would have denied the existence of a dark side in me, the proverbial “good girl”, but I have experienced enough road rage and temper tantrums in my life to know my inner “Darth Vader” exists.

We are living in the new. What this means is that the universal principles in which we operate in are becoming self-evident. In addition, we are dealing with a very prominent sense of urgency. To tie these facts together, we are getting the opportunity to impact all of life, at a level that was never before known to us this deeply. We are no longer just aware or our purpose, but rather drawn so potently into it’s knowing that we cannot ignore it.

“I can control my blood pressure by breathing deeply.” “I can’t believe how much my mood lifts.” “My constipation is gone, after 20 years every thing is regular again!” “I feel a nice warm sensation in my abdomen.” “It’s so ...

In Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan, we learn that “Your mind controls your body [movements, actions, muscles], and in turn, you control your mind [thoughts, intentions, decisions].” Tai chi chuan is an exercise discipline and an internal Chinese martial art, practiced for its health benefits, its meditative qualities, and for its defence training. The 3 main aspects of tai chi chuan (Health, Meditation & Martial Art) enable the regular practitioner to gain balance and control over both the body and the mind so that they function and work in balance and harmony.

Sometimes, when we're driving, we encounter a bump or boulder in the road which forces us to veer off in a new, unexpected direction. The same holds true with life. At times, The Universe places a bump or boulder in our path to cause our existence to suddenly swerve seemingly off course. This unpredicted -- and often unwanted -- change could be triggered by an illness, a financial predicament, a job situation, a shift in a relationship, or any number of other life-altering incidents.

CALLING ON GOD We cry out in pain, in fear. We are alone. We feel helpless. We tremble with fear. We are lost. Our hearts are paralyzed. Our bodies are sick. We feel in disbelief, That such a moment has come. Will it last forever? Fear explodes; It cripples; It makes us hopeless, helpless; It makes us forget the one truth. In this hour of need, We turn to Him. We call, we pray. We plead that He may hear. We try, we fail. We suffer. We fall.

The other day someone said to me "there will come a time when us ‘special’ people the light workers of the world will be called on to show others the way." I sat and stared completely caught off guard as far as I could tell I didn't possess any magical powers the rest of the human race had missed out on. Okay so I am a Psychic but this gift is no different than the gift to create a painter has, no different to the gift of healing a Doctor has, no different to the gift of love a Mother has for her child or the gift of reaching a young person a teacher has.

It's 10:30 am. I am standing at my job, having made it out of the house on time, maneuvered traffic successfully and found a fabulous parking space of which every person alive should be envious. I am afforded the luxury of a great view, and I am looking forward to a relatively peaceful day. ...

We live in a world of migration and the number of migrants crossing the borders increases daily. For a business, hiring foreign nationals can be a great asset, as they bring their unique skills, expertise, knowledge, ethics and culture. And even more, they can help a business in the global ...

After speaking at a spiritual church recently, one of the regulars at the service came up to me and said she had a message for me from spirit. Like most people, I felt privileged that spirit had singled me out for a message. The reality is, though, that the Universe is trying to send us messages on a daily basis. But, most of us are too busy to take the time to listen. These messages come in all shapes and sizes.nnMy search for messages started a few years ago after I was sac

Scientist’s recreated the big bang in an attempt to find the God particle haven’t heard how that went but give I wasn’t sucked into any black holes I would assume all is okay. I am sure Creator is upstairs thinking he/she has tuned into the Universe’s version of extreme makeover. Lets tear her down and rebuild! The promo would go something like this “We had letters from all over the galaxy including this one from Earth.”

We live on a planet that provides us with food and shelter. It is beautiful and varied, and both amazing and magnificent. The problem is that I do not think that we are aware of that, and we damage it in so many ways, and yet do very little to help it, because we collectively leave that up to someone else.

We are all multi-dimensional spiritual beings currently having a human experience. It's the personality (ego) that holds us back from being our true self. Each of us is here to fulfill a particular mission based upon a remarkable master plan. Whether we believe that or not depends on the level of control we allow our personality to have over the actual mission we planned before being born. Yes, we made agreements with Source to come here and do our part to move this planet forward in evolution long before our actual human birth date.

There is a wave of fear gripping the planet. Terrorists, earthquakes, tsunamis, bird flu pandemic, and your very own nasty neighbor. This “culture” of fear leads us to our own personal destruction. In the media and out on the Internet, one man’s medicine is another man’s poison. We hear dietary ...

Do you know someone who seems to effortlessly achieve goals they set out to accomplish? And they reach those goals quickly? Their secret is simple – self-confidence. Part of healing from divorce is the quest for rebuilding of self-confidence that can erode over time in a marriage. Here are ideas you can implement immediately to gain confidence in achieving your goals:

The story of Samuel hearing the Lord speak to him has got to be one of my favorite Bible stories. Not only is it amazing that God entrusted some very important news with a child, but it is also a bit ironic that Eli the priest was not the one who heard the voice of God. Isn’t that just like us adults?! Three times the Lord called Samuel’s name and finally on the third time, Samuel knew that it was God talking to Him.

I sit here during a full moon listening to the sounds of the crickets and thinking how lucky I am to not be in a war torn war with poverty and starvation right outside the door. Things are not perfect, but they could be worse. That is a case, I think, that everyone can make no matter what their circumstance. Things could always be worse. And so we find ourselves in the midst of pain and discomfort on one side and bliss and happiness on the other drifting back and forth. People often wonder how to remain on the side of bliss and happiness. There is only one way.

Kano: Seeing with the Eye of the Heart Kano is the rune of fire, illumination, the inner light, passion, intelligence, and inner knowing, among other qualities. Recently I received this rune when I needed an insight into a special project. I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved. As soon as I picked the rune, I realized it was the perfect starting point to examine the matter.

Close All Unnecessary Doors There may be times in your life when you feel anxious and overwhelmed. Maybe you have commitments, obligations or projects bidding for your attention…all at the same time! Maybe you have an important decision to make and find yourself having a difficult time ...

Individuation: A Soul’s Journey One thing’s for sure for all of our lives, regardless of who or where we are, that is that we wake up each day with a life experience that has created who we are! Our Soul knows where we’ve been and where we’re going! Soul knowledge is indestructible! In the quest to truly understand this as an individuation process, we must recognize that our early family of origin experience has played a strong role in how we perceive and interpret li

Just prior to the Solstice last week, and days before leaving for France, I opened the Records of Abundance. There were 2 very important messages about this topic from the Keepers of the Akashic Records. Firstly, that Abundance is totally available to anyone at any time. (Take that in. It may blow your mind.) Over and over, the Keepers repeated, like a mantra, that “The Universe always brings you exactly what you need.“ And secondly, that what most people refer to as abunda

At this time of year many of you give gifts. The definition of a gift is: "something given willingly to another person without payment." True giving is without expectation of a return. We give for the joy of giving. As you spend time searching online or in the malls for your gifts to give, I ask you to look within yourself for gifts to give that are infinitely more valuable. These gifts cost no money, yet the effects of these gifts is profound. Your gifts will benefit your receivers, and will ultimately benefit you more.

Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is powerful and four of those powerful words come straight from the prayer that He taught us to pray in the book of Mathew in the Bible. They are "Thy Will Be Done!" It is the Lord's will that we need in our lives! We cannot trust our own understanding of situations becuase we can not see the end from the beginning like God can. He already knows how we need to proceed, and the outcome. He knows what is really going on behind the scenes and He only wants the best for us.

We arrived in the Holy Land after a ten hour bus ride and two weeks in Egypt. We left most of our Astara tour of 100 people. Twenty two of us stayed on to visit Jerusalem. I really didn't understand the politics of the region until I got there. We had a Palestinian tour guide and so we were to ...

There is a right and wrong way to share the Gospel with people. The wrong way to share the Gospel with people is to motivate them to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior by promising a happier and more prosperous life. It is certainly true that God wants everyone to experience a happier and more prosperous life, but the problem with this modern reward method is if everything doesn't turn out better right away, people could be easily turned off, totally inoculated against the Gospel, refusing to follow Jesus Christ.

“How to Have a Better Quality of Life with this Disease” Many people around the world have Sickle Cell Anemia and have a terrible time of all the symptoms. Sickle Cell Anemia creates, pain, fatigue, gallbladder stones, inflammation, infections, painful erections, strokes, and high blood pressure. Here are a few herbs and supplements that I recommend that will help to increase oxygen to the body and also create more energy and vitality… and help with the symptoms.

While developing my "Symbol Linking" guided meditation series, I found myself sitting in a beautiful garden. It was Spring and the garden was lush and in full bloom with beautiful tulips, daffodils, lillies, wisteria and jasmine. I felt peaceful and content and waited for one of God's ...

Many times we are afraid to move forward toward our goals. Sometimes, we spend time reminiscing about past failures instead of exploring the reasons we may have failed. The essential key to moving forward in spite of setbacks, is to explore what went wrong and change the "how", not the "what". Failure does not have to be terminal if we explore all of our options in the face of it.r

Have you ever found yourself in a situation or conversation, which at the surface seems pretty ordinary, yet find yourself becoming strongly emotional in some way? For me, it is not something that happens very often, but when it does, especially these days, I am amazed at the power of my reaction to something so, for lack of a better term, “simple”. With the work that I have been doing in my journey to become more self aware, I have discovered that these situations are tied to unresolved issues of the past.

I think it's a sad comment on the sign of our times the many people who tell me they are so busy these days they don't have a minute to think! At one time that statement would have been taken with a pinch of salt, easily recognisable as an overstatement: "Oh, come on, you're going too far, it's ...

In life there is what is true, and then there is the Truth. What is true is that I am writing this article and that you are reading it. We both share some form of English as a language. We are both interested in personal growth, and self improvement. We are both on a journey to discover what is real, and what really counts, otherwise you would not have started reading an article called "What is the Truth?"

Deep breathing exercises provide an excellent method to relieve stress and rid yourself of toxic emotions that inhabit your body. Emotions play an integral part in our personalities and often tap into the yearnings of our subconscious mind. Without emotions our lives would be pretty bland. God ...

The other day I sat at my desk at work looking at all the files saved on my desktop and realized that finding the time to delete files that no longer served any purpose would take some dedicated time and effort on my part. Meanwhile saving files is a snap. Just click save, and voila, another file finds immortal life in the electronic heart of my computer.
