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?

Tips On Manifesting Your Desires

By Kiri Sparr

Manifesting Desires has become a hot topic in recent times. Something that was once just considered "wishful thinking" is now taking on a more realistic realm with quantum physicists acknowledging that the power of thought is a powerful tool in creating your own reality.

Manifesting desires is possible to accomplish through several ways. But in order to do this it is essential that you have a very clear picture in your mind of what it is that you actually want in life before you even attempt to achieve your dreams. Failing to do so will make any attempt at manifesting your desires near impossible to attain. Make certain you have a clear visual of the future you wish to have before you even set out to partake in this concept.

The first technique I am going share with you is visualization. By visualizing what it is that you want you, are reinforcing your thoughts which as we have already established are powerful tools in themselves. Visualization can be done by creating a vision board, a collage of photos and pictures that represent what it is you desire. Looking at your vision board daily lets you focus your thoughts on your goals and this in turn sends out energy into the universe that adds up daily. Sending out clear energy waves will ensure that your desires become a reality.

It is a necessary truth that you believe strongly in your ability to make your dreams a reality, that you believe strongly in yourself as a person. Being strong-willed is a must, and that you also hold strong to the belief that you have the ability to actually transform yourself as a person. This new you will also believe that wonderful things can happen to you.

Essential to understanding this concept is one's ability to learn how to manifest the segment intending. This concept works in that it allows you to predict the future, one that you long for, and as a result enables you to create the life you would like. The concept of segment intending works in that you segment each part of your day out, doing so as you move from one aspect of your day to another. An example is from when you drop your kids off at school to when you arrive at work. Dropping your kids off at school is one segment and the second can be your arrival at work.

Know what it is that you wish to do within each segment. Picture a nice meal, with good conversation in an elegant setting. By holding on strongly to this desire you will as a result turn this into fact. Manifesting desires is that simple. Then picture accomplishing a great deal when you return to work soon after.

These are just a few techniques to empower you when manifesting desires. You need to be clear on what it is you want and you need to believe that it is possible, you should visualize your goals and segment your days. Always remember, thoughts are a form of energy that can be directed in a way to have an influence on external surroundings.

Happy manifesting.

Exactly What Are We Doing Here And Why?

By Ace C. Erin

Where do we arrive from? What are we? Wherever are we going?

Thus asks the title of one of Paul Gaugin's most famous paintings, depicting tropical nudes in the daily tasks of picking fruit, gossiping, worrying, sleeping, and worship. Gaugin's personal intentions were to show the three broad stages of life as birth, young adulthood, and old age. The questions come from a individual catechism of his former teacher at Catholic school designed to lead young boys towards a consideration from the spiritual life.

For the existentialist, these are the only questions in existence, the only real puzzles that each and every man and woman have to solve for him and herself, on his or her very own. Such questions cannot be answered by science, or religion, or anyone else other than every individual within the context of his or her own personal everyday living - as lived, moment to moment and from year to year.

What are we? What are human beings? What does it mean to be a man or a woman?

Where do we come from? How did we get here? And exactly where are we going to go now?

These concerns are deeply evocative of our childhood fears and fantasies, despite their really serious very adult themes. They point to a yearning, yet a mature mind also understands that the yearning is illusory. For the desire to know can in itself be ignorance insofar as it presupposes there to be an answer on the unanswerable. Thus Goethe cautions us against ascribing design to the accidental and chance to design - which advice finds applications throughout many fields, such as when we take into account that social inequality may possibly be engineered rather than entirely natural.

In the end, nevertheless, we have to agree with Voltaire's Candide, who, in the manner of Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes, notes that one's only duty is to tend to one's garden - to work, and put all one's energies towards work: Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your heart. Whatever other purpose there is to living, this much is clear: Work.
