“Full of Great Nutrition” Here is my favorite dish that’s very easy to fix— it only takes 6 or 7 minutes from start to finish and it’s full of great nutrition.

One famous psychologist the other day said, “Americas are becoming more and more hostile, you see it all over”. Why is this happening? All of this started with people getting angry in the 60’s and doing lots of drugs and then it worked up into the 70’s… and then in the 80’s people started getting even angrier. And now we have road rage, people threatening people, lots of violence, people lashing out online… people are out of control. Why is this Happening?
We have been told that if we keep positive, think positive then we can create the life of our dreams, with the power of thought. How easy is that? Have you seen how quickly thoughts whiz through our minds. Have you tried to monitor your thoughts? If you have, then you will know how fast they ...
We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind. The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newto

“Or Do You Bring Anxiety, Tension, and Anger to a Room?” Whenever you walk into a room to do you bring a feeling of peace and calm to the room? A feeling that everyone can feel? If not, why not? Many people when they walk into a room the level of tension skyrockets. This is because of their anger and unhealed issues from the past go with them everywhere. All the Great Saints Created Peace Where Ever They Traveled
I was confronted with someone the other day who was angry. He’s usually very composed and never upset. But today he was ranting and raving that someone hurt his feelings. And I asked him: Should we only have compassion for special people? Are We to Have Compassion for Those Who Hurt Us? It’s really easy to have compassion for people who are kind and loving. But compassion is more than just caring for those we love. Even the Dalai Lama has compassion for those who took his country away. Are We to Have Compassion for Those Who Do Evil?
The nature of our thoughts determines the quality of our life-whether it is sad, happy and contented. Happy, optimistic, positive thoughts, emotions and feelings generate a zing in our system which makes the blood flow freely and heart beat joyously. They create a spring in our feet and spur us to action. Let us remember the age-old saying that the mind- thoughts- can move the mountains. Pessimistic, sad and gloomy thoughts, on the other hand, create inertia and force us to s
Swami Vivekananda, in his lectures on Raja Yoga, describes what we may call the “mind stuff”, citta, which tends to be always disturbed as impressions, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, emotions create ripples, as a breeze will create ripples on the surface of a lake. He goes on to describe the need to bring this “mind stuff” to a state of quiescence as an essential condition for gaining control over the mental processes. This is a preliminary stage to the eventual development of concentration and samadhi, the ‘yogic trance’.
He Brings Those Who Are Bound Into ProsperitynnThe title is word for word extracted from Psalm 68:6 and it forms a clear picture of the delivering power of God. Let me elaborate:nnI see a corral, a fenced in area. Within the confines of that space there is very little grass, and what little is left has been eaten down to the nubs. One can see the whiteness of the grass root structure; it has been chewed so low. The ground around the grass is a sandy, reddish brown in color, a

“The Power of Whole Foods Plant Based Diet for Healing Diabetes” A man in his 60's has had diabetes for over 20 years and he takes 3 medication and 2 insulin shots daily to control his blood sugar.

If we understand the development of life and life-forms on earth as an expression of the evolution of consciousness, we can easily see the relationship between a new power of consciousness and the need to have forms that can hold, and express, that power effectively. Scientists frequently comment on the changes in primates that accompanied the development of man, the mental being. This included development of an opposable thumb, standing and walking upright on two legs, and increased brain size and complexity.

"By the time you make ends meet, they move the ends." nJer Van NettannnAre you happy? Oh, no, not this again.. Most of us would probably like to answer "yes" - and many of us do. We may cite such reasons as having a warm home, a family, a job, food on the table - something not everyone on this planet can claim- and since there are people much worse off than us, then surely we must be happy. nnFor some, happiness may not be in the picture. They may have given up the notion of
Materialism has entangled us so much that we donât even realize that we have become slave of so many not-so-essential things. To take an example, just imagine how disturbed we get if we lose access to our mobile or internet or car for just a while. One of the reasons for this is that we are living in a society that promotes materialism. In todayâs world, our mind is consciously and continuously being programmed, on a daily basis, by advertisements and other media; as a re
If there could be something most controversial as well most evident, it is GOD. And all of us are essentially soul or pure consciousness. Let us give a thought to the difference between these two forms of consciousness. The Holy Trinity Of God, Son and Holy Ghost – Soul And God: All major religions, mystics and spiritual movements maintain the truth of the Holy Trinity in one way or another. The difference is only in outward explanation. When we analyze and feel deeply abo
Many people complain that The Secret, or The Law of Attraction, just doesn't work for them. They exclaim, "But I am thinking about what I want; and I DID try to believe in it -- but nothing happened!" Well, there's more to thinking than meets the eye. Most people spend most of their time ...
We live in the quantum world, and that means that everything we think, say, and do has an impact upon everything else including our life. There are a few points that many people in this age of cosmic particles have forgotten. These principles are important, if taken to heart they could mean a powerful shift on our planet. If everyone in the world would take to heart all of these quantum principles everything would change.

`Over the past thirty years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science. New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation leading to a novel kind of ‘systemic’ thinking. `The view of living systems as networks provides a novel perspective on the so-called “hierarchies” of nature. Since living systems at all levels are networks, we must visualize the web of life as living systems (networks) interacting in network fashion with other systems (networks).
The 3 gunas of Nature, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas are active in all things, even in the approach we take to the practice of meditation. Understanding these modes and the specific types of energy they each represent can aid us in tuning the meditation practice for ultimate positive results. Tamas acts through darkness, sloth, torpor and indolence. When Tamas is in the ascendent, there is an inclination to avoid meditation through tiredness or inertia or a sense of it being useless.

The yogic trance, samadhi, is considered a goal for the spiritual seeker, providing access to the realisation of spiritual Oneness. In the integral yoga, however, dropping of the outer life and activity and entering into a trance state is not the end goal. The consciousness that is experienced in the trance state is to be brought down and made fully active in the mind, life and body of the seeker in daily life.
It is quite natural for human beings to extrapolate the nature of the universe and the meaning of existence from the limited set of facts and information that we perceive and organize in our normal mental-logical process. Yet there is so much that falls outside the scope of these perceptions and modes of understanding that we clearly miss the much wider significance that the creation holds. In our limited view, we judge everything by the way our world appears to work.
What does Self-realization and enlightenment mean?rnThe real Self is full of infinite bliss and knowledge. To realize this Self is called Self-realization. The constant spiritual awareness of âI am the pure Soulâ in itself is Self-realization. And the same means enlightenment. Self-realization is beyond the physical realm and physical science. Itâs the spiritual dimension that leads to Self-realization. Through this knowledge of Self, one is able to get rid of their phy
A recent study, to be published in the next issue of the Journal of Happiness, reports that while women start out adult life happier than men, by midlife they are less happy.nnWhy are women never satisfied? nnWell, it's a good thing we're not, because that's the motivating force behind all development!

If we look at the natural world we see that the underlying quality that drives all life is love. Love is the key to everything that’s alive on the planet from the tiniest of living organisms to the elephant… everything thrives on love in one form or another. Take for instance a giant elephant who is ready to charge. In reality she is only trying to protect her young, and will do so with great ferocity and passion to the point of even giving up her own life. Thus protecting other lives and sacrificing ones own life, to do so is the purest form of love.

When the protective walls of the surface being give way as the seeker enters the inner planes, access to the vital planes may occur, with all of the beings, powers and forces at work there having suddenly direct interchange with the seeker. Sometimes these forces are intimidating, sometimes, very subtle and manipulative, sometimes helping the seeker, and at other times, attempting to achieve their own goals by controlling or misleading the seeker.
It is easy, in fact, quite normal, for an individual to turn toward medical treatments once an illness presents itself. The mind-set of the entire society is based on the idea that illness must be defeated and that medicine, through its long history, has increasingly gained powers and tools to defeat illnesses. With the advent of antibiotics, anti-viral medicines, vaccines, Western medicine has shown remarkable ability to address scourges that once ravaged humanity such as smallpox, the Bubonic plague, and polio.
