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?

Mind Over Matter - A Strange Myth?

By Jackie Traveller

It's difficult for some people to believe that they can change their circumstances to whatever they want. If you're like most people, you would believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. What exactly is meant by 'mind over matter'?

The truth is everything you have and all the things you would rather have are all mind over matter. Everyone on the planet has the capacity to master the principle of mind over matter, but you need to understand how to use your mind power to do it.

Think about your current circumstances. You might be in a job you hate or struggling financially or worried about your relationship, or lack of it. Each of these aspects of your life are there as a result of your own choices. This means your mind created those circumstances for you. It's hard to think about some of the negative things around you right now as being a result of 'mind over matter', but it's true.

Another very simple way to begin using mind over matter is to start using affirmations. When you go to work and think silently to yourself, "I hate my job, my co-workers, and my boss", all you are doing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you could master the mind over matter powers that could bring you more of the good things and less of the negative things, would you be interested?

Take some time to listen to what you say to yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts. If you're thinking 'I hate my job, I can't afford nice things, I'll never lose weight', then these negative thoughts will influence your actions. You will unconsciously make choices that will make these thoughts a reality in your life.

This is because your subconscious mind has already been programmed to make sure you hate your job and that you won't be able to afford nice things or to make sure you continue to struggle to lose weight. These negative beliefs can highly impact all areas of your life.

Affirmations are an excellent way to begin the re-programming process. Take a moment to think about your current situation. What thought processes led you to make the choices you did? Did you accidentally sign the papers for so much debt? Did you get into your relationship by accident? Did you accept your current job by accident? Each of these choices was a result of your mind being programmed to believe that was what you needed at that time in your life.

You will begin to see that everything in your life is mind over matter once you take a step back and think about your previous choices and decisions. Take for example a person who has been through a violent or abusive relationship. If those people have been told repeatedly they are fat or stupid or useless, eventually they'll believe it. Their self-esteem will come crashing down.

If only more people knew that their destiny lies in their hands (and minds of course), there would be less sadness and failure.

The mind can do amazing things. Scientists believe that humans use only 10% of their brain power. The remaining 90% is sitting latent in your skull, waiting for an opportunity to exert the power to create a life of abundance and joy.

Believing in yourself has never been easier, and neither has living a life full of abundance and joy. It's mind over matter!
