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?

Power Of The Mind - What Can It Really Do?

By Janice Stokes

Not all people realize that mind power can actually help bring positive changes to one's life. You may not realize it but you are actually using it in your everyday life. The power of the mind influences all aspects of your life. While it commands you body to function, it may also command positive energies to bring positive changes in your life.

Whenever you dream and desire for things in your life, if you wanted it so bad, it just seem to magically happen. As you go to bed and fall asleep hoping for things like salary increase or recovery from a disease to happen, you often find yourself waking up with that thought in your mind actually happening in your life. This is a classic example of your subconscious mind power at work.

In fact the more scientists research quantum physics it seems that our whole reality is in fact merely a product of our own mind. That our mind power is in fact reality.

Eastern religions have demonstrated the power of meditation and mind power for centuries. With their definition of reality, real things were believed to exist because we have imagined it.

It seems rather ironic that in this so called 'enlightened' age of ours, our scientists are looking at historical scrolls and texts to find out the true nature of reality!

So if reality is a creation of our mind, then it seems logical to presume that we can change our reality by changing the way we think about things. We can change things into whatever we want with the power of the mind.

But how do we do this? The real first place to start is by mental conditioning. In order to unlock your power of the mind, it is important that you clear out unnecessary thoughts, and start fresh. One of these methods is by meditation, which while there are many different techniques, there are a few simple exercises that you can do yourself.

To effectively meditate, try sitting on a comfortable chair in a darkened room. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out to your mouth. You may experience light headedness but it is only your body's natural reaction to the increase in its system's oxygen supply.

Visualize yourself in front on a tranquil pond with pebbles in it. The pebbles symbolize your random thoughts and ideas, your every day confusions. Imagine getting those pebbles out of the pond. Once you are done, you are now ready to unlock the power of the mind. Clearing out the pond is clearing out your mind with random thoughts that constantly goes in and out of your mind. This way, you will be able to separate your random thoughts from your wishes and wants.

Wishes like world peace certainly takes bigger solutions, it takes more than one person's thoughts to make it happen. Hoping for things like to stop global warming and save the planet could be impossible as it is unreachable by one person alone. Personal goals and dreams such as dream jobs and happiness are the hopes and dreams that you can achieve as it is your mind that is to control your life's outcomes.

If you are having trouble with your relationship and you hope to talk it out with your partner, the power of the mind can facilitate healing from all the pain, which may resolve your conflict. While it cannot bring your partner to actually talk to you, it can help you become a better communicator and a better partner for your partner.

Now realize that some things may happen right away, but other things take time. Unlocking the power of the mind does take some time, and you must overcome mental programming that says you can't. This is a very simple thing that you can start with.

Remember that you still have to do your part. If you wish for better communication with your partner, you have to start talking to them about things that bother you, in a respectful manner. If you wish for that dream job, you still have to look through the classified ads and such.
