Royalty Is A State Of Consciousness

Earthly Royalty rule over the subjects in their kingdom or country. It is a status generally inherited, through birth. But when we look at some Royals, we see a total lack of character, ethics or just plain good manners. Instead we meet overbearing, haughty individuals. Yet where does the ...

Darling, You’re Divine

Is that the way you think of yourself when you look in the mirror first thing in the morning? I invite you to do so. It will change your day. Does it seem presumptuous or arrogant or …? For many of us, we were brought up to think we did not count for much. I remember one of my mother’s seemingly favorite questions being “Who do you think you are, young lady?” You might have a similar memory. I know there is great freedom, prosperity and joy waiting for you on the other side

How To Pray Effectively

Last year there was an article in the New York Times Magazine section by Zev Chafets titled “Is there a right way to Pray?” I don’t know if there is a right or wrong way to pray. But I do know an effective way to pray. To pray effectively first we have to determine what prayer is and to whom or what we are praying and then what we desire to pray for. If we look at the traditional Abrahamic Judaic/Christian/Muslim traditions prayers involve repetitive phrases, melodies, and

Out of Your Comfort Zone and into a Land of Possibilities

I’ve a dinner date coming up, a couple from church I invited, nobody that I really know, just people who looked interesting, based on their photo, when I flipped through our church directory. Our church has been growing, three services now, over a thousand members, so it’s very difficult to really get to know anybody. Sure, I might recognize a face or two, say a friendly “hello” to somebody walking down the hall, but never really intentionally getting to know anyone. After all, it is such an effort.

Who Am I?

When I was a child my big question was “Who am I?” After awhile I realized that the answers I was getting were all too cynical for this peewee optimist. I still don’t have it all figured out, but perhaps you’d like a look at my findings.

Who Do You Think You Are?

I have always felt like a misfit in the human race. I never, from my earliest memories, felt like I fit in. The world and all of its logical, reasonable, tribal programming never made sense to me, and I always had a nagging belief that I was not meant to be a robot in a schemata of conditioned reality. This general sense of dislocation would long be my hell, until one grace-filled day, it became my heaven. I have a clear and distinct memory of an occurrence when this became painfully clear.

Sins Of America

How to Bring out your Love Essence

You know those days when you’re feeling out of sync, out of balance or just plain withdrawn? Or what about the times you are annoyed, irritable or stressed? Do you know that this is not the way you were meant to be? Do you realize that peace and love always reside within you, waiting to be expressed? Yes, that is the “real” you, not the former. But somewhere along the road, you learned to be afraid and/or angry. Somewhere in your past, you were just programmed to believe that this is the way it is.

Kryon Festival Spring 2013 ~ Toth: The Significance of the Crystal Places / Handing over the Crystal SHADEES ~

I am Toth. I greet you with the highly vibrating energies of OMAR TA SATT. It is an honor and joy for me to speak to you through Sangitar today, to bring the messages. The energies saturated with SOL'A'VANA and SHADEES with a radiant power that you can feel when you open yourself. Many human beings ask themselves: What are the Crystal Places? How do you have to imagine it? And thus we will go back to the time when YOAH'TOH separated himself from the love bond of God, it came to a hail of comets and many planets were carried into the depth, away from the magnetic divine lines.

Talking to a Spirit: The Natural Way of Talking to a Spirit

It is common of us to think of talking to a spirit as something that is weird or just not believable. For most of early human existence the thought of speaking to a spirit would be thought of as being very normal. The change in this belief in spirit to unbelief was most prominent during the age of enlightenment; this was a time of reason, science and questioning. The problem though was that as faith in science increased our spirituality decreased. Today to say that you could

New Beginnings that Bring You Freedom

We have a psychological and spiritual need to experience new beginnings because then we can experience two very important states: 1. The state of transcendence 2. The state of redemptio Transcendence helps us lift our awareness above the business-as-usual life that is bound to our sense of local identity. Being caught up in surviving in this material world it is easy to become narrowed down to the extent that we end up just repeating the same old stuff year in, year out, waiting till we grow old and “retire.”

The End of Suffering - A New Year’s Resolution to Keep.

The New Year is always brim-full of promises and ideas. Most of us make our “New Year’s resolutions” with great gusto and conviction, but may find that within a few days or weeks that enthusiasm (root: God within) to change has almost completely dissipated. Why is this so? How can we make change permanent?nnThe core of the issue is that, although our intentions are good, the way in which we direct them is subject to both individual and collective conditioning, hence, ev

Past Life Regression-None Trance Method

Hypnosis can be used to undergo past life regression, though hypnosis is not an essential tool to use for past life regression. It is important to understand that hypnosis, like any other therapy, should be practised by a skilled person because if you are not qualified in the field you practise you can cause unnecessary problems. For example if you are not an expert in the therapy you practise you could unwittingly use negative language which could be damaging to your client.

It matters not whether you are poor, rich or middle class for pain is part of the human condition. What we do with our pain is what makes us or breaks us.

A CREATIVE FORMULA

By Todd Puntolillo “Talent,” says Thoreau, “is created in silence; but character, in the stream of life.” Let’s talk about creating in silence and experiencing higher outcomes in our reality. A number of years ago, my dream came true. I had been mentally fishing in my imaginary dreamboat for years. Now, finally, I bought the real thing. She was shiny and new and had all the contraptions a mariner could wish for to find and catch those rambunctious, silvery, blue-plate specials I enjoy so much.

Redemption Novel. Excerpt Three

“Well, that was a most enjoyable vacation,” Ann said as she steered her car away from her apartment building. “Though I’m not entirely certain I could call it restful!” Rob’s face appeared on the screen, smiling broadly. “Quite,” he said. “You sure managed to pack plenty into a couple of days!” “To be honest, I’m relieved to be returning to work. It’s as though the craziness of the last two days is finally being replaced with some kind of normality.” That being said, Ann’s sleep had been disturbed once again by one of her usual haunting dreams.

Why is that "What Goes Around, Comes Around"?

The old saying, "what goes around, comes around," is actually a slang interpretation of the spiritual principle of Cause and Effect, which itself is derived from the biblical admonition that "what you sow is what you reap." It essentially means that every effect that you see or experience in the world had to have a cause. While at first glance this may appear to be a very simple and obvious concept, it has profound implications for every human being. What it means is that literally every single thought and feeling you experience is a cause that sets into motion an eventual effect.

Effects Of Energy

It’s been said that the energy of one can affect the masses; but I’ve often found that it’s the energy of a group that can affect the one, instead. For instance, have you ever been in a great mood and experiencing a tremendously positive day only to walk inside your home and, assaulted by children, teenager and spousal energies, find yourself suddenly a little (OK, a lot) cranky? Or, have you met your friends for coffee or lunch and at the end wonder how you allowed yourself
