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?

Do You Know What Mind Over Matter Means?

By Kerry Blanks

The ability of the human mind to influence matter is what is meant by the phrase 'mind over matter'. We have heard this phrase repeated several times perhaps by our parents and teachers while they motivated us to reach greater heights with studies and during examinations against all hindrances. But on a more serious note, the power of the mind is so strong that it can influence ay matter that it so desires, be it tangible or intangible.

Psychokinesis is a term which is very closely associated with the phrase 'mind over matter'. Infact this phrase can be said to be the word meaning for the term in its extreme. Thus, if you can move a chair or a table by the sheer power of your thoughts or mind, then you can be termed a psychokinetic.

First coined as Telekinesis during the 19th century, this paranormal phenomenon was researched and experimented upon by parapsychologists in order to explain the extent of the power of mind over matter. The term was first denoted to explain the mysterious movement of objects by spirits or ghosts. Later on when the role of human mind was speculated to be behind these, the term psychokinesis was born.

This extreme form of mind over matter can be measured in two different ways. Firstly, the micro psychokinesis refers to minute atomic changes in matter that only a microscope or any such scientific instrument can pick up. Secondly, Macro psychokinesis involves the movement of large matter visible in the normal sense of sight.

Apart from this extreme paranormal aspect to the phrase 'mind over matter', it is also extensively used in a highly mind-centric interpretation in the fields of spirituality or philosophy. This can be corroborated by the significance it has in responsibility assumption.

According to the responsibility assumption, the sole responsibility of your future and what you make of your life lies on you. It prophesizes the concept that your future is a product of your thoughts and the onus or responsibility of your destiny or fate is only on you. Recent spiritual awakening in the last decade also has laws such as Laws of Attraction, etc talking in the same direction.

The Laws of attraction states that if you have an object of desire which you want to see manifested in your life, then direct your entire attention, energy and focus on it and feel the energy waves leaving you and charging up the vision. If you have complete faith that it will happen, and rid your mind of all negative thoughts in order to receive the event when it manifests actually, you will see that you can create your own destiny with your mind power.

Thus it can be concluded that be it physical matter or be it an intangible matter, your mind has the power to influence all. Thus, with the power of positive thinking, concentration, energy, and affirmations one can achieve the highest forms of 'mind over matter' phenomenon and thereby live life in his own terms.
