Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

You Can Learn About Remote Viewing Techniques Now!

By Peter Rivers

Remote viewing techniques can let you see people, places and things remotely from you, without using the five senses most currently think of as the only way to receive information. Remote viewing and other psychic abilities are not out of body experiences, either. Instead, you can take advantage of remote viewing as a power you already have and just don't know about. You can absolutely see objects, people and places without physically being there, but by using remote viewing techniques.

The Remote Viewer - Misconceptions and Explanations

Remote viewing techniques are not something you use to be in "two places at once," or to maliciously view another object, person or place.

Instead, remote viewing harnesses a form of ESP and your own psychic mind abilities to see what you want to see when you want to see. What happens, essentially, is that the object or person comes to you, instead of you going to a person or object. You can do this just by carefully preparing for what you want to achieve -- which is, after all, remote viewing.

Using Inherent Mind Power

One of the most important concepts to grasp when you're thinking about using your remote viewing capabilities is that you have an inherent, natural mind power that only needs to be tapped.

Think about this for a moment. Experts have said that we only use 10% of our mind's abilities, with the remaining 90% untouched, and dormant. Using some of that remaining 90% gives you the ability to use your incredible mind's power. Properly using and controlling at least some of that other 90% will allow you to use remote viewing effectively.

How to Use Remote Viewing

Your mind is vastly resourceful and has powers you don't even know about, but how do you use them to tap into your remote viewing abilities? There are remote viewing techniques that you can utilize, such that you can begin to harness this most amazing ability.

Perhaps the best way to start is to simply go someplace quiet and sit or lie in a relaxing position. For example, sit cross-legged on the floor or lie comfortably on a bed. The place you do this should be quiet and free of distraction.

Second, simply engage in some deep breathing exercises that are calming and relaxing. Inhale and exhale deeply, lightly pressing your tongue on the roof of your mouth as you do so. Focus on each breath; the goal is to clear your mind of all extraneous thoughts.

Third, suspend all disbelief of any human limitations that you think you have. Belief is what is ultimately responsible for a successful remote viewing occurrence; you need to believe that you can see objects, people, and events which you are not physically able to view.

Fourth, an easy way to get started on remote viewing is to simply practice seeing yourself, lying there or sitting there on the bed or floor. Imagine that you are sitting in front of yourself, looking back over your shoulder at yourself. This can be difficult to do at first, but keep going; it does get easier.

Once you have successfully viewed yourself outside yourself, try to practice with more challenging remote viewing targets. For example, you can try to view familiar objects, places or people in the house or building you're currently in. The object here is to build up your belief in yourself, that you can be successful at remote viewing with these more simple exercises; once done come you can move on to more dance exercises.

These remote-viewing techniques can help you begin to harness this incredible ability you have, but that you may not yet use. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and you can use these remote big techniques to successfully establish yourself with this talent, so that you can use it when you need it.

Secrets Of Astral Projection

By Samuel K. Millings

Generally speaking, the majority of people have at one point in their life heard the term 'astral projection.' This could have been from an enlightened friend, a book or a movie. Few people though understand that astral projection is a real event, and that it is something that everyone can do. Chances are very high that you have astral projected and didn't even realize it.

First, you need to understand that astral projection is real. It is the ability of any individual to leave their body. We all have this ability, it happens as we lay sleeping during the night. While we sleep, our physical body is at rest, the subconscious mind then takes control. While this is going on an individual is astral projecting, although for the most part, they will not remember doing so.

While you are projecting, you can go anywhere you want to go. You should try recalling your childhood; you may be able to remember being able to do this after you went to sleep. Over time, you may have forgotten. When it involves astral projection there is no such thing as time or distance. You can go anywhere, since while asleep your physical body is at rest and your astral body travels.

This brings to mind the next question, what is the astral body? The astral body is the invisible duplicate of the body, commonly known as the ethereal body. It is the core of our feelings and desires. Why doesn't the astral body leave and not come back? The astral body is tied to the physical body with a silver cord.

This silver cord was connected the first time the astral body entered the physical body and can not be severed until the astral body leaves the physical body for the last time, death. It is the silver cord that prevents the astral body from straying away.

You may wonder where you may go when you astral project. The astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double of the Earth. It has a faster vibration than the physical Earth and its vibrations penetrate to the center of the Earth. Some define it as another dimension of reality. However, the majority agree that there are many levels of the astral plane.

It is only natural at this point to question whether or not there are any dangers to astral projection. The answer is yes and no. We have established that astral projection is something everyone is capable of doing. We have also stated that there isn't a way that the astral body can leave the physical body and not come back. But as with anything you do, you need to keep your head about you. This means that you need to make sure you have solid thinking skills so that you are going where you want and you know what you want.

The danger then comes when you astral project when you mind is not sound. So if a person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs they could end up in bad places. The bad places would be the lower levels of the astral plane.

It is essential that you know what it is you do and where it is you want to go. Your goal is to consciously astral project. You need to have complete control of what your astral body is doing. Your thoughts control your astral projection.

You can learn to astral project very quickly if you prepare properly beforehand. Many individuals prefer to astral project alone in their own home. However, numerous professionals in the field of astral projection teach various methods to help others gain control and enjoy an enriched experience. You might even like to try both methods of learning how to astral project.

You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings. It will help you relax and walk you through the various stages. This is beneficial since you can continue playing the recording repeatedly until your subconscious mind picks up the message that it is all right for you to leave your body.

There have been great advances recently in a sound technology called binaural beats'. This works by playing slightly different sound frequencies in each ear. This has the effect of very quickly relaxing you into a deep state of meditation which is necessary for successful astral projection.

Don't get frustrated if you are not able to successfully astral project the first time or even the second or third time. This is something that you must practice. It is not an ability that you have to acquire, we are all capable of doing it, many have just forgotten how and need to fine tune the natural skill.

Still need to be convinced? When did you last dream you were flying and then felt as though you were falling? As the astral body, moves through the astral plane it, feels like flying. The sensation of falling comes when the astral body comes back into the physical body. Astral projection is very real. Anyone can do it and find benefit in it. However, you do have to invest time in fine-tuning your natural ability in order to reach the kind of success you desire with astral projection. It will become easier to do once you begin your journey while projecting.

How To Easily Experience An Amazingly Vivid Lucid Dream!

By Colleen Rikke

If you are not yet familiar with the phrase, Lucid Dreaming is a relatively simple concept. A Lucid Dream is a dream where you are aware that you are dreaming, even while in the middle of it. The degree of lucidity depends on a few things - how much control you can exert over events in the dream, how much of the dream you can remember upon waking and how stable the dream is.

Control over your dream is the most important element of Lucid Dreaming. It is an incredible experience to be in the midst of a dream and to know that you are in fact dreaming. You are in control of everything in your dream and can have any experience you choose to have.

Just consider that for a moment. Lucid Dreaming looks, feels and engages all of your other senses as if it were really happening but you know that you are only dreaming and will be totally safe no matter what you do. This is the kind of virtual reality experience which computer experts can only dream of creating!

A growing number of people are mastering Lucid Dreaming and trying it for themselves. While most of us have an experience with Lucid Dreaming at some point in our lives, just imagine how great it would be to have a Lucid Dram any time you choose!

A Lucid Dream offers you the chance to have any experience you can imagine. You can meet and hang out with your favorite celebrities and historical figures, have erotic experiences, visit other worlds, speak with a long lost loved one; anything at all! There are no limits other than your imagination.

Having regular Lucid Dreaming experiences is something which until recently could take an extremely long time to achieve. People would spend as long as a year in training to have their first Lucid Dream - and it remained out of reach for some people no matter how long they tried.

So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?

Some people report that certain foods can encourage Lucid Dreaming if consumed shortly before sleeping - Mustard, Orange Juice and dairy products among them.

Also recommended by some are ice cream, popcorn, pickles and fish. Some people say that these foods are ideal for preparing your mind for Lucid Dreaming - but of course, many of these are high in salt and fat, which isn't very conducive to a good night's sleep.

Can Technology Assist You?

New technologies can make it somewhat easier to experience Lucid Dreaming. There are devices which can help to stimulate you to have Lucid Dreams such as eyeshades and sleep masks which activate a LED when rapid eye movements are detected. This light reminds you that you are dreaming; letting you take control of the dream!

Another of the new developments is an audio technology known as binaural beats. Different frequencies are played in each ear of the listener; this has been found to be helpful in achieving Lucid Dreams.

What this process does is to synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain. And almost instantly, just by listening to these special frequencies, puts the brainwaves into a state known as REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep which is the state needed to achieve a lucid dream.

For anyone wondering what it is like to experience a Lucid Dream, then this is definitely the easiest and most reliable way of getting started!

Your Fantastic Mindpower!

By Kevin B Shine

We only use an estimated amount of ten percent of our mindpower. One can only imagine the incredible things we would experience if we could access that ninety percent that we don't currently use!

For a long time scientists thought that people with psychic powers, or extra sensory power could use these different parts of their mind. Whether they were born with these extra abilities of accessing this phenomenal mindpower, or they just managed to develop this power later on in life, nobody knows.

Through the process of quantum physics it is starting to be thought that the true nature or the link between real life and true nature is by what we think and what we experience in life.

After verification of the ancient religions there was a popular saying. They believed reality is just a product of your mind. When you change the way you think you also effect the way reality is at that time. Mindpower is thought to be the only reality.

There have been films about mindpower. 'The Secret' explains the theory of the law of attraction. Through the powerful mindpower a person can view life in a certain way and attract anything they want to into their life.

If you haven't seen the movie, it is about how the law of attraction affects everyone, and that all our actions have cause and effects. No matter what you think, you can get. Learning to actually communicate with your subconscious mind is important or else your mind will think everything is exactly the way you want it to be. The scientific term for this is homeostasis.

What reacts with the universe is called universal consciousness. It's a way to manifest your desires by using the subconscious mind which is responsible for all the esp powers, for example, telepathy, remove viewing, and precognition.

Developing your mindpower it is key to communicate with your subconscious mind. There are a number of ways to do this.

By repeating and upbeat, optimistic phrase several times a day to yourself is called an affirmation. Through daily affirmations yoursubconscious mind will start to understand the message.

A daily affirmation to break a bad habit would be to constantly tell yourself over and over throughout the day that you no longer need whatever it was that was a bad habit, or I no longer choose to do whatever that habit was. If you want to bring up your self esteem you would tell yourself how good you are, how smart you are, how beautiful you are, and any other positive thoughts.

Consistently repeating affirmations they really do work. They are able to communicate with the subconscious mind. How you program your subconscious through your affirmations, will make you behave differently so be careful cause your mind will eventually understand the message.

Going even further with this thought is to realize that you can change anything about yourself. Whatever you want to change about yourself, will happen, and only 'you' can make it reality. This is what we call mindpower.

Visualize the change to help you develop mindpower. Close your eyes and think about what you wish to see happen, happen. Soon your subconscious mind will believe it. Your mindpower can be powerful with the art of visualization. Pictures are stored into your subconscious, and will help you get what you want. You can find pictures of what you want, whether a new house or a new car. Cut them out, and use them to visualize what you want. Consistency in this area of mindpower, and it will really appear in your life.

Psychic powers, telepathy, and looking into the future can also be visualized and later attained. Exercising your mindpower will only make it that much more powerful!

Using hypnosis to communicate to your subconscious will help you to develop mindpower. You can visit a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist and they will put you into a deep state of relaxation. Once in a deep state of relaxation you can get into that subconscious mind easier.

A less expensive way to hypnotize yourself into that state, is self hypnotizing. That is when you listen to a recording of a hypnotherapist going through the steps they go through in their session. The great thing about self hypnotizing yourself is that you can do it on a consistent basis, and the more you do anything the more powerful it can become.

A new audio technology for brainwave entrainment called brainwave synchronization. Brainwave synchronization changes your brainwaves instantly to a different frequency. The result of this, can be many different things. A certain frequency can improve your memory, while another frequency may release endorphins that could heal or alleviate pain.

You can also tune into a certain frequency that controls the state of meditation and will allow you to communicate quickly with your subconscious mind and therefore develop your mindpower quickly.

Specific frequencies can stimulate a part of your body known as the chakra energy center. This chakra energy is in the center of your forehead where a third eye would be. That is why they call it the third eye chakra which is responsible for the psychic powers.

There is no need to develop these powers, they are inside you and just need to find a way out. People say mindpower is in you, but repressed and locked deep within your mind.

Developing mindpower actually comes down to unlocking all the powers and true potential that every human being already has.

Tapping Into Your Own Manifestation Powers

By Tina Eastman

You have the power of manifestation even if you don't realize it. You can make it happen but you're going to have to train your mind to recognize how strong it really is. Throughout your entire life you have been challenged to let go of your mind's abilities and powers, and it has not served you well. Skeptics and conformists run the world and thus they have all told us that we are not truly in control.

But we are. It's not antireligious or sacramental to determine that you have the power within your own mind to make things happen the way you want them to. Free will is the ultimate gift we were given, thus we can still be faithful individuals while learning how our own mind's abilities work for us instead of against us.

Some websites suggest that there are foods you can eat to help tap into your own manifestation powers. Commonly known as brain foods, there are certain fatty acids and proteins that can make the brain stronger and help you develop a more attuned mind. Not all experts agree with dietary contributions, but since the foods that are healthy are the ones that feed the brain, you can err on the side of probability.

How many times have you been told that healing your ill body is just as much in your mind as it is in your body? How many times have you been told that focusing on what you really want will get you there? These are mild forms of manifestation. These are the natural and intuitive senses that we already have and use regularly. The main reason why so many of us fail to use them and reap their rewards on a regular basis is that our mind is also clogged up with a lot of useless information.

What we feed our mind is important. What information we give it to process and focus on will help determine the direction our life takes. When we focus on small details of life that have no bearing on our mission forward we are less likely to be able to practice manifestation skills.

We have to first learn how to take the daily issues that plague our hearts and let them float away. We then have to learn how to listen to our own abilities and learn how to act on our sense driven desires. When we can do this, the world becomes not only our oyster but our whole ocean.

Clearing out your mind and tapping into your internal resources takes time. Don't just try it one evening and call it a failure when you don't manifest yourself into a successful job the next day. It takes a dedicated effort. You may even call it a lifestyle.

Being able to tap into our own mind and grab our own senses becomes a lifestyle, not just the occasional endeavor. We are all able to develop our mind the way we want to but it does require a certain amount of chronic discipline. If it was an overnight process, we would all be able to think our life into a better place.

Secret Law Of Attraction Puts Success Within Reach

By Leona Claives

It may be the last time you heard about the universal laws was in your high school physics class. As a short refresher course, the universal laws are natural rules that govern the way the cosmos works. Natural laws cannot be modified by further judicial discourse; they are what they are. An apple plucked from a tree will always fall to the earth, plain and simple. And there are other universal laws that most people do not know about. If you can harness them, there is no telling what you can accomplish. And it is possible to harness the universal secret law of attraction with just the power of your mind.

Your mind is actually a very powerful tool for achieving your goals. Perhaps you were told to visualize the ball going into the basket when you were learning to shoot free throws.

You may have also heard the old adage: "If you dream it, you can achieve it." Both of these techniques are completely legitimate, but they only touch the surface of the much larger concept of the universal law of attraction.

For most of us, we have been trained to think poorly of our abilities. At some point in our lives we have been told we aren't good enough, smart enough, or talented enough to accomplish our goals.

You need to do a lot of soul-searching, figure out the parts of yourself that you don't like and either fix them or come to love them indiscriminately. In order for the law of attraction to work for you, you need to be full of positive energy and confidence.

Within the universe like objects are often attracted to other like objects. So if you want to pull all kinds of positive energy toward yourself, you need to train your mind to become a positive magnet. This means that only good thoughts and emotions should be coming out of you. Retraining yourself to be a truly positive person takes some work. Most of us use cynicism as a shield against the hardships of daily life.

We crack self-deprecating jokes and don't set our expectations too high so that we won't get disappointed. However, if we can learn to release all of our doubts and fears and only view ourselves in a positive light, then the sky's the limit. Take some time every day, say at least twenty minutes, to sit still and concentrate on what a good person you are. It may take one or many months, but eventually you will believe it.

Once you have turned your mind into a positive energy magnet all the positive energy flowing throughout the world will be attracted to you. Project that energy outward to help you influence people and accomplish your goals. The positive power of your personality should overwhelm people in a good way. Just imagine what you want them to be saying to you or what goal you want to achieve and the universal power backing up your mind will make it happen. With the law of attraction your personal potential is unlimited.

Therapies for Anxiety

By Stephen Daniels

Anxiety is a frequent response to stress. When stress levels become too intense to cope well, anxiety can reach a level that interferes with daily life. This is particularly true now, in the current economy, when financial difficulties are affecting so many households.

Lack of funds to pay the bills, concerns about job security, and the risk of losing one's home, all put people at risk for anxiety. Worries about other personal incidents can also add to underlying issues.

Symptoms of anxiety can be emotional, mental and even physical, or a combination of all three. Sufferers often describe feeling trapped or overwhelmed. You may feel afraid without understanding why, or be concerned about losing control of day to day events. Big mood swings and bouts of sadness are common, as is a feeling of unreality. Anxiety can interfere with normal thought processes and short-term memory, which makes it even harder to handle immediate concerns.

Anxiety can cause physical symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and even strained breathing. Some people report headaches or a ringing in the ears, and some have an increase in allergy reactions. It is not uncommon to have bad dreams, or insomnia.

When emotional and physical symptoms occur at the same time, many people find it difficult to cope on a daily basis. It can become overwhelming to make everyday decisions. You may feel trapped, unable to see your way out of your predicament. These are signs to seek help.

A crisis intervention approach is one method to help deal with the many symptoms and issues of anxiety. Crisis intervention looks at the problem head-on, not as a bunch of separate issues. Discussing your concerns with an experienced counselor gives you a opportunity to examine your situation in a supportive and constructive environment. This should help break what feels like a never ending cycle of worry and fear, and allows you to begin the healing process.

While anxiety can be caused by situations in your daily environment, it is sometimes not enough to address those issues. Often our past plays a role. It is important to examine the underlying factors that helped to create your anxiety. Emotional associations from the past, ways of dealing with problems, even basic attitudes toward life can be involved. Becoming aware of these factors and learning to work with them is one of the keys to recovery.

Anxiety can be treated in many ways. It is important to find a method, or combination of methods that work for you. Complex problems need a variety of solutions. A holistic approach is often most effective.

Holistic therapy looks at the whole person. All the dimensions of life are considered, whether social, spiritual or emotional. The primary focus is on achieving a balance for life improvement. Attacking the symptoms alone is not sufficient. Your mental and emotional health is influenced by all the factors in your life.

Holistic therapy can help you to understand and find better ways to manage these factors. Learning to find balance and using your inner strength will bring you the inner stability you need to endure unstable times. It takes a desire to change your life, and the help of the right counselor, but there is hope for a future free of anxiety.

Subconscious Mind Secrets And Myths

By Geoff Vincent

Let's face it; practically everyone in the world today is aware of the fact that they have a subconscious mind. In fact, when things go wrong in our lives, many people immediately place the blame on their subconscious mind. Unfortunately however, not many people seem to realize just how powerful the subconscious mind can be, and that it can be your best friend or your worst enemy, in that it is your subconscious mind which ultimately controls the way in which you live your life. Perhaps you are wondering what exactly is a subconscious mind, and why it's essential for people to pay close attention to what the subconscious mind is thinking?

Even though many professionals have tried to convince us otherwise, the vast majority of people acknowledge the fact that they have a subconscious mind, and that it is literally a mind within a mind. As such, one could compare it to a control board, in that it is able to direct us to carry out certain actions and to think certain thoughts. You could also view it as being that voice inside your head that you hear when you're in times of trouble. Of course, each person's subconscious mind communicates with them differently from the next. In other words, no two people have the same sort of subconscious mind even if they have been together since birth, and even if they grew up under the exact same conditions. In fact, not even identical twins have the same subconscious mind as each other.

Contrary to what you may believe, you have also heard your subconscious mind speaking to you in the past. For example, if you've ever been on the verge of making a monumental decision and a voice inside your head managed to speak you out of it, then that was your inner mind talking. Obviously we all want our inner mind to talk us out of doing dangerous things but unfortunately it sometimes manages to convince us that we cannot do something even though we actually can. As such, your subconscious mind is basically what you think of yourself deep down, and if left unchecked, it can have disastrous consequences.

When you're having deep thoughts and your subconscious mind is telling you negative things, then there's very little chance that you'll end up enjoying your life the way you should. Fortunately however, there is something you can do in order to change the way you feel about yourself. In fact you can make your subconscious mind say good things rather than bad so that you can live your life in happiness.

One common practice which many people use nowadays is a method known as 'affirmations', in which you repeat positive statements to yourself throughout the course of the day. The good thing about this method is that it's not necessary for you to spend a load of money on subliminal messaging scripts because it is something you can do at home by yourself.

If you would like to stop smoking for example, then instead of thinking that you cannot kick the habit, you should rather be thinking how good it feels to be a non smoker. You should write this down on a piece of paper so that you can carry it around with you and read it to yourself whenever the need arises. You could of course also place a copy of it on the mirror, next to your bed, and even next to the toilet, so that you see the message as often as possible during any given day. Your goal should be to repeat this message to yourself as many times as possible each day until such time that your subconscious mind realizes that this is what you are wanting it to think.

In this example, you would soon start noticing that you're losing weight. On the other hand, if you had been using affirmations regarding becoming wealthy, you would soon see your bank balance increasing. The good news is that you can apply this technique to any aspect of your life. Sound too good to be true?

Let's take a look at another example which you may even be able to relate to. How often have you woken up a bit later than you should have, and the first thing you think is, 'I just know that it's going to be one of those days again'? You jump in the shower, only to realize there's no soap. You finish up and head to the kitchen for a quick cup of coffee before work, and what happens, you end up spilling coffee over yourself. By the time you get to work you firmly believe that it's definitely going to be one of those off days. Once in your office you're faced with several problems and just when you think things cannot get any worse, they do.

While many people would blame this on coincidence, saying that if they had remembered to set the alarm, they would not have woken up late, and if they had looked where they were going, they would not have stepped in the dog's mess. However, there is no such thing as coincidence, in that everything happens for a reason, and in most cases, your subconscious mind is the reason.

Many people have already tried to explain this phenomenon in scientific terms, as can be seen in books like 'The Secret'. Even though it has proven to be extremely difficult to explain, this phenomenon has however become known as the 'Law of Attraction'. This law states that a person's subconscious mind actually creates reality rather than only influencing it.

Even though some people may consider this to sound a little crazy, quantum physics is however in agreement with this theory. In fact, it has already been proven that matter is linked intrinsically to the mind of the observer. Interestingly enough, many religions have been preaching this long before science came along and proved it.

What you need to bear in mind is that because you can create your own reality with your subconscious mind, it is possible to create a reality of your choice. In fact, some of the wealthiest people in history have become wealthy simply because they have consistently believed and visualized themselves acquiring a vast amount of wealth.

Astral Travel - The Truth Will Set You Free!

By Joe M Burns

Everyone has had those dreams where they are flying; you've certainly had them yourself- remember how this feels? This is very much like astral travel. When it is traveling, your astral body moves in much the same way, except for at the speed of thought! When you're astral traveling, you need only to turn your thoughts towards where you'd like to be and you are there. Your astral body can leave your physical body and mind while they are in a state of deep relaxation, although it is through sleep that we first experience astral travel.

Although it can happen while you are asleep, astral travel and dreaming are two distinct things. Dreaming is something which plays out entirely in our brain; it is one of the ways that your mind replays the day's events and works thorough things. You may or may not remember your dreams, which is one marked difference between dreaming and astral travel.

When you wake remembering vividly even the smallest detail of what has happened as your body was at rest, this is almost certainly an astral travel experience rather than a dream which you are recalling. It's important to keep a journal where you can write down everything you remember. You'll want to add to this record and refer back to it periodically. It won't all make sense at first, but much like putting together a puzzle, a picture will begin to take shape.

Astral dreams are psychically beneficial, much as dreams are in helping your mind to process the things which happen in your day. Everyone has different astral travel experiences and the benefits are also unique to each individual. This makes it especially important to keep a record of your experiences; comparing them to another's experiences is much like comparing apples to oranges and is largely a useless exercise.

One benefit which everyone can experience through astral travel is an increased awareness of themselves and their place in the universe. This in turn leads to a sense of well being and inner peace. Astral projection also helps to improve your memory and alertness since it exercises parts of our physical minds which most people never take the time to develop.

After learning to astral travel, other latent psychic abilities will begin to awaken and be strengthened. Most people report having an increased awareness of others thoughts and an easier time sensing spiritual presences.

Astral travel can not only take you to places you'd never otherwise see, but also takes you into yourself and can cause a blooming of your intellect as well as your psychic talents.

People who start off as skeptics about astral travel are often convinced of its merits once they begin to gain experience with astral projection and start enjoying its beneficial effects.

Other than these benefits, it should be remembered that there is also fun to be had! Astral travel allows you to do things and go places which are outside of your ordinary life; it's something like a vacation for your astral body.

Really, it's amazing that everyone doesn't use astral travel. However, most people mistakenly believe that this is an ability which can be used only by a very lucky few. In fact, the opposite is true: anyone can astral travel; it's only a question of making the choice to develop this natural ability.

You have almost certainly had the experience of astral projection before, although it is possible you were unaware that this is what you were doing.

The best way to get started is to just let astral travel happen on its own and keep a journal of your astral projection experiences. Soon, you'll be able to identify when you are astral traveling and this means you're ready to start practicing to astral travel when you choose to do so. It takes practice, but you can develop this innate ability and with so much to be gained, it's well worth the effort.

Each of us has the ability to astral travel. With practice and determination, you can train yourself to astral project.

With time and patience, you'll achieve your goal and gain the inner peace which comes with learning astral travel.

Hermes And Enoch Are One And The Same?

By Ken Klein

Have you ever consider mythology and wondered if it was based in some true events? Men like Hercules could be the biblical character Samson. Or possibly the gigantic Cyclops the Nephilim giants mentioned in Generation. Until now these kin could just be considered fanciful ideas to put a puzzle together.

All of biblical interpretation, if sound interpretation principles are used, is known as the procedure called hermeneutics. Hermeneutics was so named because of the Greek god Hermes. Hermes was known as the chief god of the messengers.

He was a more modern entity that was derived from the Egyptian god Thoth. Thoth and/or Hermes were the intermediary between the gods and mankind, and therefore were characterized and dubbed the messenger god.

But the Christian?s can not be blamed for plagiarism or god theft alone. The Greeks stole the god of messages who they dubbed Hermes from the Egyptians. The Egyptian god from whom the Greeks stole the idea of a messenger god they named Thoth.

What is fascinating about the Egyptian god Thoth is that he was given credit for formulating and inventing the first lunar calendar which was based upon the twelve thirty day lunar cycles of the moon as it coursed through the sky

But the god Thoth who was far more ancient then Hermes and from whom the Greeks fashioned their god had an ancestor who also was given credit for inventing the lunar calendar. His name was Enoch the Biblical character in the book of Genesis

So we come to the incredible conclusion that the Egyptian god Thoth, who we know to be the biblical character Enoch, a real person, was also deified in Greek Mythology as the messenger god Hermes. This is a revolutionary connection bridging the gap between fantasy and reality. Perhaps all the gods have human representations that we need to make the connection to.

Consider the ramifications of this connection when looking at Greek Mythology. Perhaps myth and legend are not so far removed from reality.

Telepathy - Communicate Without Your Normal Senses

By David A Andrews

What exactly is telepathy? Without getting into the technical information, the easy way to understand it is that your emotions or mental imageries can be transferred from one person or another. However what is special about it is you do it without saying anything, touching, tasting, smelling, or even hearing the other person.

We have been used to using language for such a long time that we find it hard to think of telepathy in the same way. However, there have been several scientists and animal trainers who are completely convinced that animals have the power of telepathy. While you would think this would be a crazy thought, they have amassed a huge amount of evidence to show this is true.

While humans in the West consider this to be a strange phenomenon, there are still primitive tribes around today who naturally use the power of telepathy. This way they can communicate with one another secretly.

What you need to understand is that telepathy isn't some sort of crazy aberration. Instead, it's something that we should recognize just as we would when coming across a person with speech issues. While we classify this as a disability, it should be the same scenario for someone who cannot utilize their telepathic power. Unfortunately it's not, but hopefully in the near future it will be.

It's unfortunate, but our civilization has lost its ability to stretch the telepathic mind. Even though it's a natural part of the human brain, society has created a shell for most people to keep from using it.

When you hear people talk about the "sixth sense," they are often referring to things such as telepathy. Others may call it the "third eye," although there are subtle differences in these two phrases they mean basically the same.

You have probably already utilized your telepathic power and haven't even realized it. This is mostly because we consider these to be gut feelings or instincts. Maybe you just felt as though someone was looking over your shoulder, or you're worried about a family member all of the sudden. These things happen all the time and the end result is that you're usually right. It's amazing how we accept this in our world, but the mention of it being connected to telepathy and most people turn their head.

We can't really pinpoint an exact time when the majority of humanity seemed to lose touch with telepathy, but it has a lot to do with not believing in its power. You often see this amongst many religious organizations like Christianity and Islam that believe this is a tool used by Satan and is simply demonic power.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do when fighting a religion. Many people believe that all the religions have so much power over our society that most people have been taught to put no faith in telepathy. This is because it's believed that the Messiah, Savior, or Prophet has to the natural abilities to do something of this magnitude.

While we aren't trying to offend anyone, you have to ask why religions would be so distrustful of telepathy. Our own opinion is that if others possess a power such as this, they can challenge the leaders of the church. Since no one wants to lose their power, they keep everyone suppressed about the matter. Granted, it's not like this everyone, but when cases arise it's usually the reason.

While this is a major problem, there are many other issues as well. One of the biggest has to do with the assurance that comes from science. While most scientists believe there is a connection between telepathy and the mind, there are some out there that just can't accept it. On a lawful approach, some scientists believe that telepathy cannot be numerically measured, tasted, or touched.

Instead you will find that we classify telepathic experiences as connections and instincts. We believe this is true only because those scientists, who try to bring the negative side to it, can't experience it themselves. However, they're always quick to acknowledge a strange or gut feeling as an instinct. While this wouldn't normally be a big deal, it's hard to understand considering these traits are just as elusive as telepathy.

Maybe it's just jealousy on their part. After all, most individuals hate it when something can't be explained, yet someone else can do it. When a phenomenon like telepathy comes along, it's much easier to tell us it's an instinctive response as opposed to an extraordinary power of the mind.

We many never find out the true reason why humanity lost touch, but it could date back as far as the story around the Tower of Babylon. Seeing how this was the time when languages were to confuse people, it's possible that the language of telepathy disappeared.

Learn How To Astral Project Naturally

By David Groomes

The ability to astral project is something which everyone already has naturally; in fact, you've probably astral projected before without knowing it. What we're going to talk about here is learning to consciously astral project and have control over where your astral body goes.

We'll assume that you already know about the astral plane and the astral body. Instead of defining these terms, we'll cover methods of learning how to astral project. It's something that everyone does a little differently, so you need to find the techniques which perform the best for you individually.

The following technique is a five-step process which can be done as you're lying in bed before you fall asleep.

*First; relax your body completely, trying to achieve a state of deep relaxation throughout your body. While you're lying there, tense and then release all of your muscles, starting from your toes and working your way towards your head. You may start feeling very heavy; this is natural and indicates deep physical relaxation.

*Second; Focus on your breathing. Take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. Exhale slowly, visualizing your tension and stress leaving your body each time you exhale.

*Third; Concentrate on the feeling of your body's total relaxation. Think of it as a stone or a lump of earth; something which is heavy and immobile. Now refocus your attention to your astral body; think about how light it feels, weightless in fact. Close your eyes and visualize your astral body floating away on the breeze.

*Fourth; At this point, you may find that you're able to see perfectly in your room even tough your eyes are closed. Your room will be bathed in purple light. Focus on the light coming from the ceiling.

*Fifth; Try to visualize pulling this light to your astral body. You'll feel like you're floating; this is your astral body floating above your physical body. Just look down and you'll be able to see your bed with your physical body at rest below.

If you've made it this far successfully, you are astral projecting and can begin on your astral travels. If this method doesn't work for you, however, there is another technique which many find useful.

This is called the gazing method and is used by many when learning how to astral project. It's a very simple method where you focus your complete attention on an object. This can be anything as long as its within your line of sight while you lie in bed.

With this object in your line of sight, lie in bed and focus on it. Even as your eyes begin to feel heavy, continue to focus on the object, staring at it. Eventually you won't be able to keep your eyes open, but you should be able to see it even now with your eyes closed. You might feel like sitting or standing, so go ahead; but don't panic when you see your sleeping physical body lying in bed!

If these techniques don't work for you right away, don't become discouraged. You may need to practice for a while before you can successfully astral project. Persistence is key.

What's really important isn't how you get there, but that you can overcome your subconscious skepticism about astral projection. You have to repeat to your subconscious that there's nothing to worry about and it's OK for your astral body to leave on its travels. You can use affirmations to communicate this to your subconscious.

Plenty of techniques can help you learn how to astral travel; you'll find the right one for you with a little practice and possibly some trial and error.

Hypnosis, especially guided hypnosis works for many; having an expert there to explain everything and tell you exactly what you need to do can be extremely helpful.

New audio technologies called binaural beats can also help you learn to astral project. These specially designed recordings consist of slightly different frequencies played into each ear. The effect of these recordings is to place the listener into the meditative, deeply relaxed state where astral projection comes naturally.

It's really not that hard to learn how to astral project. It's simply a matter of practice. You already have this capacity, but you'll need to work at it to develop this skill. Just like learning to ride a bike, it's something you can already do, but some practice is needed to train yourself to do it well.

Using Memory Boxes To Cherish Memories Of The Deceased

By Oliver Jackson Carter

There will be times when the people closest to us such as our friends and family die, and when they do it is easy to let the grief overwhelm us, however there are certain boxes that are specifically designed to hold keepsakes of that person such as the small accessories that they always had as well as photos and other keepsakes.

These memory boxes are usually made out of wood because wooden boxes allow for beautiful designs to be carved into them. Memory boxes can be used for decorative purposes as well as commemorative purposes. Many people have a life size portrait of their lost loved one in a corner in their house with the box placed underneath it in order to create the best possible memorial in your own home.

Memory boxes make a great gift for people who've just suffered a loss and they can be personalised and made to any specifications to make them perfect for the person you want to give it to, making it the perfect gift in a decorative and emotive sense.

There are also several other purposes that you can have a wooden box personally carved and designed for, for example, using it to store jewellery in to keep your dresser neat and tidy with nothing but an attractive box neatly placed there. Wherever and whatever you use your box for, the amazing artwork and craftsmanship will make the boxes a welcome addition to any room.

There are many places online that will make these memory boxes to your exact specifications so that it will fit perfectly wherever you intend to put it, whether you are going to give it as a gift, or keep it yourself. Also, when you buy online, you will usually get a great discount on the price as online stores do not have to pay for a premises, just a warehouse to keep the stock in.

Why Are The Seven Chakras So Important?

By Jonathan Benjem

Chakras are the foci within our bodies where the energy which makes up our life force is generated. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel; a good representation of the spherical energy field the word refers to.

There are six main chakras that are stacked in a column along a person's spine, and there is a seventh that is above them, beyond the physicality of the body.

We think of these Chakras as being composed of energy; but it is very important to realize that the Chakras are closely related to and have influence over your physical body.

A proper alignment of the seven Chakras helps you to maintain your body in physical, mental and spiritual health; this is why it is important to know more about each Chakra and how it affects you.

Muladhara

The Muladhara is the Chakra of your lower body. This is also known as the root or base Chakra. This Chakra relates to your survival and other instincts. Muladhara has to do with the potentiality of human life. This Chakra is located in the perineal region, near the base of the spine.

This is the Chakra which corresponds to the adrenal glands in the physical body and produces the fight or flight response.

Swadhisthana

The Swadhisthana is the chakra that contains the reproductive parts. The chakra is located in the area known as the sacrum. It relates to emotions such as sexuality and creativity. The chakra corresponds to the sexual organs, and produces the sexual hormones that guide our lives.

This Chakra also governs the production of sex hormones and plays a role in producing mood swings. This Chakra is symbolized by a six petal lotus.

Manipura

Located in the Navel, the Manipura or solar plexus Chakra is responsible for the transition from simple to comlex emotions. The Manipura corresponds to the pancreas in the physical body.

The Manipura is important in converting food to energy. It's symbol is a ten petal lotus.

Anahata

The Anahata is the heart. It is responsible for complex emotions like love and also controls your equilibrium and overall well being. This Chakra corresponds to the thymus gland, located in the chest. It also corresponds to the immune system in the physical body.

This chakra is symbolized by a twelve petal lotus. The love and the compassion are dictated by this chakra.

Vishuddha

The Vishudda is the throat. It is responsible for communication and growth.The symbol of this Chakra is a sixteen petal lotus.

It also controls your powers of communication and corresponds to the thyroid gland in the physical body.

Ajna

The Anja is the eyebrow or the forehead. It is also considered to be the third eye. This chakra is in charge of being a model of its own envisioning. This is the chakra of time, light, and of awareness.

This Chakra is also in charge of the sleep cycle. The symbol of this Chakra is a two petal lotus.

Sahasrara

Symbolized by a one thousand petal lotus, the Sahasrara is the seventh and final chakra. It is the chakra of consciousness. It communicates with the rest of the body in the same manner that the pituitary gland does. The Sahsrara is connected to all of the body systems, and is the key player in consciousness.

Why Bother With Lucid Dreaming?

By Jamie Barry

Lucid dreaming is also often referred to as conscious dreaming, in that one can often exercise a certain degree of control over the dream, unlike with regular dreaming. Basically, lucid dreaming is all about the art of dreaming while at the same time being aware of the fact that it's a dream, even while you're a busy dreaming.

Being in a position where you have full control over the direction of your dreams is something which nobody can truly imagine until they actually experience it. In fact, it is such an incredible feeling that one could almost say it comes straight out of a science fiction novel. All of a sudden it feels as though you no longer have any limits in your life.

Is it really as easy as some people say? Can you experience lucid dreaming and as such, breathe life into something which for years seemed far from reality?

The fact of the matter is; lucid dreaming is far from being a difficult a task. If you are determined to master this powerful skill, there are numerous tried and tested ways to achieving your goal.

The first thing you need to do is to become absolutely certain as to why you want to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you imagine yourself having your own personal playground built from lucid dreams, or do you have another reason for wanting to learn and develop this skill? Your reason is not of particular importance, providing it is clear in your mind.

The next step regarding the process of developing your skill is that you will need to master a process which is known as "dream recall". This will then allow you to recall details of the dreams you have. You need to bear in mind that unless you are capable of remembering a dream, you won't be able to master the art of lucid dreaming.

Irrespective of what others may have told you, this process can be painfully slow. It can however be achieved a lot quicker if you maintain a "dream recall register". Maintaining such a register will allow you to record as many details as possible with regards to your last dream. Providing you continue doing this you will with time come to realize that you are able to remember everything about a dream.

For many people, hypnosis has proved to be an invaluable tool with regards to reducing the time required in order to prepare your subconscious mind. In many cases it requires no more than one or two such sessions in order to reach a point where you are able to remember all your dreams on a consistent basis. Once you've acquired this ability then you can be rest assured your mind has been suitably conditioned for lucid dreaming.

A phenomenon which you can expect to experience when in a lucid dream is to suddenly find yourself wide awake. However, considering that by now you will have gathered enough experience and developed enough skill, you will simply be able to go back to sleep and continue the dream where you left off. Of course, you'll once again have the power to direct the direction of that dream as you see fit.

And other top favorite between lucid dreamers, is going back to sleep for an hour or two once you wake up in the morning. This method is favored due to the dreams being incredibly close to lucid dreams. In fact, it is not uncommon to wake up after having one of them wondering if you were in fact dreaming or not. Waking up an hour to or two before your usual time can be taken care of simply by setting your alarm clock to go off at the desired time.

Another thing to bear in mind is; it can be immensely beneficial to keep track of your sleeping patterns, so as to determine what is the best time for you to have a lucid dream.

Interestingly enough, lucid dreams also have the ability to help people overcome sleeping disorders such as insomnia. If you have difficulty falling asleep, you simply need to convince yourself that by falling asleep you'll be able to enjoy a lucid dream. In the vast majority of cases, your mind will take care of all the finer details.

Fortunately for those wanting to learn the art of lucid dreaming, the process has become a lot easier than it was in the not too distant past, thanks mainly to advances in sound technologies.

Nowadays, more and more to people are discovering that the easiest and most reliable way of being able to have a lucid dream, his by listening to binaural beats audios.

Essentially, the reason why these audios are effective, is because they involve playing relaxing sounds to the listener using different frequencies for each ear. This results in a phenomenal amount of realization in addition to bringing the brain waves into the correct frequency necessary for lucid dreaming.

Prior to binaural beats becoming available, people had no option but to rely on hypnosis techniques but of course, learning such techniques can take many years and as a result many people simply never had the time.

When one listens to the sound waves of binaural beats, especially when combined with hypnosis, it is possible to experience lucid dreaming in a relatively short space of time.

Manifest A New Life Using The Cosmic Ordering Service

By Gina Daad

Thanks to a recent spike in publicity, the last few years have seen an ever growing number of people showing an interest in the cosmic ordering service. Additionally, many are now realizing the potential benefits.

With many celebrity endorsements, now it seems everyone wants a piece of the action. But does it only work for celebrities? What chance does the average person have of successfully using the cosmic ordering service?

In fact theoretically it works for everyone, but people who have not been successful do not realize that they are subconsciously sabotaging their cosmic order. You see whatever you think will happen really does happen!

The right to use the cosmic ordering service belongs to one and all, allowing everybody to get what they desire. Of course some people will point out that they have never had a desire to be ill or in financial difficulty and admittedly, they are right.

The problem is not the cosmic ordering service, but rather the way you channel your desires. Avoid saying things such as; I really don't want to get ill. This is a negative manner in which to seek your desires.

You should aim to seek desires from a more positive aspect so, instead of what you don't want, rather desire what you do want. For example, you could say, I'm so healthy it's of little wonder that I never get ill.

One of the most fundamental mistakes people make at this stage, is to portray or project themselves as they currently are, rather than as they could be. By falling into this trap, you are simply reinforcing your current standing rather than a successful future standing.

As we embark on our journey through life, our beliefs are often influenced by other people as well as different experiences. When we first started out in this life, we believed in ourselves and that all things were possible and now, we need to believe like that once more.

In a perfect world, a child would grow up with support and knowledge that they deserve all that they want. Instead, children are taught that it's wrong to want a lot. It's bad to receive whatever you want unless you work hard and long hours, and then you also have to have a special reason that you deserve the reward.

Always saying that we should count our blessings is wrong. Why should we settle for practically nothing? After all, there's more than enough for everyone. In fact, there's so much, it could stretch to the edge of infinity.

If you look around yourself, be happy for those who have more than you because really, it further strengthens the argument that there is enough wealth for all. Don't begrudge others, because in so doing, you'll only be reinforcing your own negative thoughts, once again directing focus to the negative rather than the positive.

Quantum physics helped to prove some of the principals of cosmic ordering. Your brain emits powerful energy waves that influence the movement of the tiniest particle known to man, the quark. If you send out positive energy, you get positive results in return.

Changing the way we think and the way in which we have been schooled to believe, is by no means easy but it can be done. Admittedly, in order to tackle this immense task, you'll need all the tools you can find.

These tools, like self-hypnosis, binaural frequency waves and subliminal suggestion and affirmations, shoot past the logical portion of the mind into the belief portion, the subconscious. The help to clear away the old beliefs that stop you from using the cosmic ordering system to get everything that you want.

You can control your future but you need to believe it beyond all doubt. With the help of some of these tools, you'll be able to clear away those blockages and order anything you desire, from the cosmic ordering service.

Some Facts About The Cosmic order Service

By Jamie-Lee Day

The popularity of the Cosmic Order Service has reached new unprecedented heights in the recent years. However, it really comes as no surprise considering the number of celebrities who have publicly endorsed it and attributed their success to the cosmic order service. So, that makes the common man wonder, how does the cosmic order service work? What makes cosmic order work for some folks and not others?

To be able to comprehend the facts about cosmic order, you should distinguish first what your mind is and what it can do for you. Our mind has the capability to think. The mind is somewhat connected to the movement of the Universe. The mind knows what you believe and what you want. Knowing what you want, deciding that you want this, and believing that you will get this is the remarkable power of the mind.

Recent studies have shown that the tiniest bits of matter known as quarks move about and when they jump levels, quantum leaps, they have the capacity to actually change the matter's make up. What makes them jump levels? The answer is; Energy. It is what the mind creates continuously. It makes sense that if you direct the energy to what you desire, you create your own reality.

Some of us are not aware that we can change the pattern of our life. This is because we do not know how about it. Most of us get disappointed and become hopeless when we see the failures of other people. We only notice the imperfections rather than the provisions. We tend to envy their success and what others achieve. We never thought that we can do it also for ourselves and that we can also be successful with our own abilities.

For quite some time people have been manipulated by wrong thinking. It has been the bad attitude of most of us that we tend to be disappointed whenever we face challenges and unfavorable circumstances. If only we are aware that everyone has his own choice of good destiny. It is just a matter of believing in the good things that may possibly happen.

There are some people who feel that suffering is noble and they can never be perfectly happy. Their thoughts tell them to work hard or else they have no worth in life. As a result this ideology which is ingrained into their mind as small children is constantly reinforced time and again.

If you feed your mind with ideas that tell you it's immoral to be wealthy, to be happy or healthy, your life will evidently follow the course of action you believe. This is your cosmic order service and you have yourself asked for your miseries. Your beliefs have created this reality for you.

The good news is that this all can change. However, this means that you need to delve deep in your mind and subconscious and undo all that you have ever learnt about life. You need to spring clean your mind and completely throw and destroy the clutter. Positive thinking is easier said than done because your mind needs to believe what you say. There are many ways and means to actually create happiness in your life.

In order to do this you can use some techniques that will make things happen for you rather than you just sitting and waiting for the good to come to you. Self-hypnosis, positive healing affirmations and chakra balancing are some ways to get connected with the ever helping power of the universe. Even listening to binaural brainwave training frequency waves does you a lot of good.

These techniques help to balance the brain waves and allow you to get in touch with your subconscious mind, the storehouse of tremendous energy. These techniques help you to remove the old negative patterns and create a new positive request from the cosmic order service.

In life, everything comes for a price. The cosmic order service is available to those who have the knowledge that you can have what you want and whenever. All that is required is a complete removal of dogmatic, rigid believes and some courage and persistence. It may look tough, but then if it means a life full of happiness, then it is definitely worth it!

A Perspective Bible Timeline And Lecturing Scripture

By Neil Baulch

When you are trying to learn about the Bible and get everything into a proper perspective, things can get a bit muddled at times and in order to keep it all straight, the Bible Timeline can go a long way into making things much easier to grasp. Why struggle with time frames when you can have everything at the tip of your fingers?

There are many arguments about when the actual events in the bible timeline take place. This does not give exact dates, but general eras when the major events take place. This is put forth in chart style so that it is easy for anyone to understand.

It will be much easier to break down what happened and who was involved because of the tools that are available. This is actually a great tool for teachers to use because of the highlighting and extra information that is readily available. All of the work is already done for you, you just need to click away.

Complication is the last thing that to worry about with this tool as nothing is easier to use than the Bible Timeline. If you have the ability to point and click, then you are able to use this wonderful program. The convenience of having everything on your monitor and at your fingertips is something that is entirely too good to pass up.

Something else to consider is that not only can you have everything on your computer for ease of use, but the entire timeline can be printed out in various sizes of paper. It would be very easy to make a simple study guide out of it or if you are a teacher, perhaps a runner for around the perimeter of the classroom.

Listening to people debate over what happened when gets very confusing when it comes to the Bible. Now everything can be right there on the computer with little debate and less confusion. If there was ever a modern tool that helped with Bible studies, this is it.

A Psychic Forcefield - Does it Really Exist

By Amos Amos

Much of the lore surrounding psychic phenomena can get quite far fetched if you are reading the wrong things and looking in questionable places for answers. Let's take a look at the notion of a psychic force field, and see whether it has any basis in fact, or whether it exists strictly in the shallow waters of popular fiction.

Much of the early lab work done on psychics, back in the 1950's and 1960's dealt with the idea of a psychic being able to generate a "ring" of energy around themselves, purely through the power of their mental focus of conviction. The Soviet Union, both before and even during the cold war, was studying the possibility that a group of psychics might be able to construct a field of protection so wide and dense, that it would have military grade purposes!

Now - for those who believe in both science, and psychic phenomena, I've got both good, and bad news..:-) The Good news is, any objective evaluation of the tests done on psychic phenomena in a laboratory setting on a large scale basis have shown an incredible body of evidence to support that we do ABSOLUTELY posses amazing, life changing psychic skills as a human race. From remote viewing experiments done by the C.I.A, to the random number generator tests done at Princeton University, to the incredible body of work produced by the Rhine Institute and far, far beyond - there is a wealth of facts that support the notion that human beings have incredible, untapped psychic skills that can be DEVELOPED and practiced much like playing the piano, or a good jump shot on the basketball court can.

There is not, however, any evidence that we are able to generate a force field of psychic protection around us either as individuals or sovereign countries! It might be nice if there was, though, right? So the next time someone tells you they can create a star trek like shield around themselves using nothing but psychic energy, you may want to walk in the other direction!

Now - the one thing caveat I will make to the above is this: Most scientists and parapsychologists who study PSI ( the scientific name for the study of psychic phenomena) will tell you it APPEARS to be an evolving skill. This means that it can be improved upon, maybe both as individuals, as well as a species. Lots of good theories abound that the next great evolution in human beings might be in these very realms.

So, who knows - maybe 50, 100, 200 years from now we will all have the ability to generate a psychic force field around us when we are having a bad day, in a rotten mood, or just feel like being left alone..:-) Until then though, for now, it's as much science fiction as Mr. Spock and the rest of the crew!

Seeing Ourselves With Intuitive Meaning

By Estee Taschereau

What exactly does intuitive mean? Is it founded in the mystical imagery of the old world carnival with crystal balls and tarot? Is intuitive abilities something that exists only in a few, found only in a place far removed from our day-to-day world?

Times have changed, slowly but surely. With the invention of the printed book, and the shift from illiterate to educated, we have opened our eyes to many thoughts beyond our day-to-day perceptions. Intuition became an interesting but esoteric ability of women, while men were given outlet for their own intuitive insights through business. Today we find yet another welcome shift, with men and women alike given many opportunities to explore and find their own intuitive meaning.

How do we define intuition? It is far from tangible, and so giving definition might not be as easy as it seems. Intuition is by nature an esoteric ability, and any meaning we give it will always be woven into the solid world we live in.

Intuition by itself has little value. In order to gain from our intuitive insights we have to assign some meaning to those perceptions. The challenge begins at this point. How do we interpret our visions? How do we give meaning to what we see? This question has carried forward since the beginning of time.

Philosophers have invested entire lifetimes to interpret the meaning of everything in life since the beginning of time. This seems to be the most noble of professions, for we are seekers, finding great satisfaction in finding understanding.

Intuition is still not always accepted, and it is difficult to measure. We have signs, seeing something hidden within our visual perceptions. Our advancements in science has shown us that what we see is only a sliver of what exists. There is a world contained in something as simple as a drop of water, yet our perception of water is usually confined to that quenching drink or the waves crashing onto the shore.

To truly gain from intuition we must have both the insight and the interpretation. Every one of us has this ability, yet most often we overlook or undervalue those perceptions unless we find a shared perception in others. Sharing our thoughts and insights brings our abilities into the light, and leaves us stronger in our understanding. Whether internalized or global, our intuitive ability and the perceived meanings bring an expansion of our awareness.

Prophesy And The Mayan Calendar For Beginners

By Jean Hantch

The Mayan societies disappeared from this planet centuries ago. Today few people have any knowledge or understanding of who the Mayans were or what they left behind. Mayans possessed an extreme knowledge of the solar system and the cycles that control it. As a result of this knowledge they created twenty two calendars. The calendars were used to mark time, of course, but were also created for another reason. Calendars created by the Mayans also documented prophesy and changes in our social structure. Many people are talking about prophesy and the Mayan calendar today. Let us take a look at why that is happening.

The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. This is causing many people to panic and doomsday scenarios abound about the end of the world. Others, though, believe a different interpretation of what it all means. Those who are not building underground shelters and stocking up food for the end of time, have another understanding.

The deep understanding of the solar system is the first place to look for a deeper meaning to the calendar. One prophesy described the end date to be the beginning of a period of extensive change and evolution around the globe. It describes a time when societies move away from destructive behaviors and move in the direction of harmony and peace instead. 1999 was the time for this process to begin and it was said to last for thirteen years, which is when the calendar ends.

Mayan beliefs explained processes in the universe. These processes are said to be fixed, and the only thing that changes are the attitudes and behaviors of humans who live in these times. If attitudes and behaviors do not change, then it was predicted that a cataclysm could indeed take place during this time of transition. It is up to us in the human race to embrace the changes we need to make in order to avert total disaster.

With this interpretation one can see that 2012 can be a time of moving forward in a very positive way, and not the doomsday nightmare that many believe. It could be a time of creating societies that are more productive and peaceful than in the past. It is a time for all of mankind to benefit from a positive change.

There is no doubt that some Mayan prophesies are worth paying a lot of attention to. That is the case because they are very accurate. The first prophesy, for example, is about the destruction of the environment by humans. This prophesy coincides precisely with the developments associated with global warming. So, we can see that the Mayans were definitely on to some type of knowledge that we should probably pay attention to today.

One prophesy described a time for intense change starting in the year 1999. It called upon a period of reevaluation for all human beings. It called on people to go in a different direction, making corrections in relationships, and moving away from fear.

Beliefs in prophesy and the Mayan calendar vary from one extreme to another. You will have to decide for yourself what your own belief is. But one thing is certain, Mayan culture is just as relevant today as it was when that passed along their knowledge centuries ago.

Cosmic Ordering Secrets Of Celebrities Revealed!

By Janette Stretens

More and more, people are realizing the importance of the cosmic ordering service. All you need to do is to place your order with the universe and then get it! Many celebrities publicly put their success down to cosmic ordering.

Check out all the people in the world who are getting what they really want. You already know, though that it doesn't work for everyone. What are celebrities and other successful people doing that the rest of us not? Does the cosmic ordering service really exist?

Think about the last time you saw someone succeed or win big. If you were grumbling and unhappy, you were just placing your order with the cosmos! The emotions of envy and disdain at another person's success reinforces the belief that you will never be a success and that you will never get what you want. You are saying you always want to be poor and sad!

Think about going out to dinner. If you see someone with a great dinner, do you get angry? Chances are, all you do is order what they're having! You'd be happy for them and hope that it would be as good for you whenever your dinner shows up.

With that in mind, why not be happy at someone else's success? You'll find that you can take happiness in their success and understand that your own is just as sweet. Don't be angry or bitter or disappointed because that reinforces what you already have; you are essentially planning for failure.

Lots of religions tell us that prayer and thought can bring us anything we want, but they don't tell us there is a catch. Belief is something that needs to be a part of this equation. More and more scientists have found that if you apply the principals of quantum physics to belief, it comes out quite the same. Many tenets of religious dogma show up to be quite true indeed!

What makes this possible is the application of the mind's energy. Don't think about this as something that takes away from religious doctrine, but in fact reinforces it.

If you are just using positive affirmations, the problem is that there is a lot that can stand in your way. Past experiences can negate your new hope, and this can get rid of a lot of the good that you are doing. Remember that while this can work, it can take time to really root out the old beliefs.

This is where we get to the cosmic ordering secrets. With this, you'll find that you need to do a complete cleaning of your brain before you get started with telling the universe what you want. Start with a clean slate and accept the fact that you deserve it all.

Various methods help you to clean out the old. Just like a vacuum sweeper is more effective than a small toothbrush to clean the carpet, so are newer scientific ways more effective in making your mind available to accept the new way of life you desire.

Look at self-hypnosis, subliminal affirmations and binaural frequency waves to help you move forward. These tools are great when it comes to helping you get the results that you want, and when you use them, you can understand your own subconscious a lot better. This will help you avoid sabotaging your own attempts at success.

Your mind hates change. It fights to keep you in a steady state so unless you believe that you already have what you want, just by using your cosmic ordering system; it fights you tooth and nail. These additional tools help to believe you already are there and relieves you of the fight to improve. It even makes it uncomfortable not to achieve and receive everything you want, because you already believe it exists.

The cosmic ordering system can give you whatever it is you want. Pick out your order and then find a way to make it a reality!
