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?

The Power Of Abundance Affirmations

By Nichole Tyler

Generally speaking, abundance is the most basic in well-being. It is one of those things that are not based on external factors. It is something that happens within yourself, a process of improving your worth. This is why people use abundance affirmations. Abundance is not something focused on worldly things. It is the hope with which we live our lives. Our ability to absorb the levels of abundance being given off by the universe is a way by which we can rate our ability to pay attention. The hope of abundance is what pushes us to go on. It is a purpose that transcends our humanity.

This is the hope that allows us to continue on with our lives, a purpose by which we explain our existence. The difficulties and darkness of this world does not affect our abundance even though they potentially hide it for a while. Our abundance is how our faith is affirmed. It assures us that there is goodness in our lives despite all the hardships of the world.

Abundance is a way that life assures us that it is good and that those bad circumstances are just what they are, circumstances. Abundance is everywhere and yet we cannot find it because we stop ourselves. We do not want to welcome the fact that life gives us the whole thing. We want the kind of abundance that benefits our behaviors and our emotions. Abundance is present in all creation and we look for abundance in love, power, money, health, and happiness.

We are slaved in our own myriad desires of selfish pursuits and disregard the flow of abundance in life. Also, our minds are clogged with age-old beliefs and values that restrict us from absorbing the abundance provided by the universe. Social parameters, is yet another vital factor in our inhibitions of truly acknowledging abundance. Governments across the globe primarily thrive on capitalist outlook - large supply meeting large demands, people need to be in debt for government to create a mass production of consumable supply of goods and services. They cash in on the poor health, and struggles of their citizens. Citizens can choose to accept these limits and inhibit the abundance, or they can welcome abundance in their lives with an open mindset. The more we choose to attract information about our abundance, the more we will receive.

"Seek and you shall find" is what The Bible preaches, and the law of attraction is based on the preaching - the more you seek, the more information you will attract and your life will be a wealth of abundance.

When we create a power of affirmation in our abundance, then we are focusing on the positive application of the knowledge received. By conditioning our minds to initiate a positive action, a positive reaction will automatically follow. Activating a positive recovery plan for yourself will generate positive affirmations that will see you through; even in the face of irony.

Directing your inherent creative and intellectual abilities towards the actualization of a new accomplished successful life can manifest abundance affirmations. Leave behind procrastination. Depriving yourself of healthy nutrition, exercise and personal time, causes poor health and inhibits acquisition of the wealth and well-being you are seeking to achieve. Lack of self-assertiveness also impedes your projections on the road of abundance.

To achieve abundance, there has to be an overall well-being in terms of the physical, financial, and spiritual aspects of your life. When this happens, we get to be solitary with the universe and with God. Plus, our relationships improve as well.

Lucid Dreams How To Be Successful

By Sheila Kavanagh

Lucid dreaming is all about passing on to the realms of dreams with a completely wakeful and focused mind. That is, the dreamer is aware of the fact that he is in the dreamworld. Hence, it can be said that in case of lucid dreams, how to bring it about, what to do and how to do it are some things that the world is highly interested in, in recent days.

Firstly, in case of Lucid Dreams, how to bring about the lucidity or induce the required mental state is the primary question. Always remember that your main objective is to let your body sleep while keeping your mind conscious and wakeful during your journey from the realm of consciousness to the dreams.

In bringing about lucid dreaming, the three main weapons in you hand are those of proper preparation, relaxation and meditation. Starting with the first point of preparation, wear loose and comfortable clothing and lie down in a calm and quiet room. Banish all negative thoughts from your mind and also remember not to have any food item that generates heat and increases the number of thoughts in an individual's mind.

For lucid dreams, how to relax every part of your body is a difficult task which one needs to master. The best way about this would be to tense every muscle in your body at first and thereafter concentrate on each part and relax them. Moreover, do basic meditation practices so as to rest your body, calm your mind but keep it focused enough to enter a state of deep trance.

Secondly, in case of lucid dreams, how to maintain the lucidity after it has been achieved is the third and perhaps the most important question. Many a times, as a beginner you will find the dream settings to be fading away, or yourself loosing grip on the lucidity, or it may also happen that you force to change something in your dream but it wakes you up. For avoiding all such perils, two of the best methods are those of dream spinning and verbal commands.

Dream spinning refers to standing in a spot and spinning like a kid, and can be used as an effective tool in bringing clarity in fading away scenes or bringing about the changed dream setting that you have been putting so much effort in achieving for so long. Moreover, you can also constantly go on saying to yourself or giving verbal commands regarding what you want to accomplish which also effectively stops loosing control and maintaining the desired lucidity.

Moreover, talking about lucid dreams, how to overcome nightmares is also a frequently asked question. It must be said that the very knowledge that it is only a dream works wonders for the nightmare issue. Moreover, say that there's this monstrous beast which frequently attacks you in your dreams, try to stay calm and administer dream control by constantly saying to yourself that "this time the beast will be friendly to me" and you will be amazed at how effectively nightmares can be overcome in lucid dreaming.

It can be concluded that lucid dreams are an experiences of a lifetime where most of the 'pre lucid dreams how to' questions are answered by meditation while 'during lucid dreams how to' questions are answered by effective dream spinning and verbal affirmations.
