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?

Subconscious mind: The Most Powerful Thing In The Universe

By Elliot Cox


We are all aware that we have a subconscious mind. Many of us will even place the blame of our activities on the subconscious. How many of us though realize the power of the subconscious mind? It is one of our most powerful tools, and it can either be our best friend or our worse enemy. The subconscious mind ultimately controls the life you live. What exactly is the subconscious mind and why should we pay attention to what it is thinking?

Despite the best efforts of some professionals, we all acknowledge the subconscious mind. It is the mind within the mind. It is the control board that directs our actions and our thoughts. It is the voice in your head that you hear when you are faced with a difficult or challenging situation. The script that our subconscious speaks to us is as unique as each individual in the world. Your subconscious mind is not the same as mine. Even if we were raised in the same house, under the same circumstances with the same parents. Your inner voice is just that, it is yours.

You have heard your inner mind. When you were standing there getting ready to make a life altering decision and it talked you out of it. I would like to think that it talked you out of something that was harmful, often though that inner voice is telling a person that they can't do something. That they won't be able to accomplish what it is they want. They aren't good enough, pretty enough, thin enough. The subconscious is what you think of yourself deep, deep down inside.

If those deep thoughts you have about yourself are negative then chances are better than not that you are not going to have the type of life that you want. The good news is that you can change the way you think about yourself. You can change the way the things that the subconscious mind says to start living the life you really want.

Affirmations are one of the most popular ways of changing your thinking. These are nothing but positive statements which are repeated by the person through out the day. This is inexpensive and can be done at home as opposed to those expensive sublimal messaging scripts. All you need here is to know the change you want to bring about.

Let's take weight loss as an example. Start believing and telling your self with total conviction that you are your idea weight. If you want write it down on a piece of paper, stick it on your mirror, record it and make a ring tone and even use the affirmation as a screen saver. Repeat this affirmation till the time your subconscious starts taking it as a gospel truth or in other words it becomes your deepest belief.

With this example, you will start to notice that you will become your ideal weight. If you use affirmations to increase money, you will in fact have more money. You can apply this to anything in your life. It is possible. Perhaps you don't believe me.

To demonstrate how your subconscious mind controls your life, here is an example which all of us have experienced in some point in our lives. Most of the times if we happen to wake up late due to a malfunctioning alarm or some other reason, we often wake up in a bad mood. On waking up our thought is 'Oh, no, this day is going to be difficult!' As a result, you spill your coffee, burn your dress and may be even have a flat tire on your way to the office. This makes your think again and you say 'it's certainly one of those difficult days'. Your day becomes even more difficult with numerous impediments and there may even be a point in a day when you think 'how worse can it get' and then you realize loads!

Skeptics may call it a coincidence but truly speaking coincidences are nothing but misnomers. Every thing that happens to us is attracted to us by out thoughts and subconscious mind which just manifests things which we think about.

People have realized the true power of subconscious mind with the help of books and movies like 'The Secret'. The 'law of attraction' is now a familiar term with every one. It simply means that your life is nothing but a reality created by your own subconscious beliefs.

Crazy as this seems quantum physics is in agreement with this basic theory and it has been proved that at subatomic level, the existence of matter really is intrinsically linked with the mind of the observer. This is also what the ancient religions have been saying for many thousands of years.

So if we do create our own reality with our subconscious mind, then with practice we can choose what kind of reality we experience! Some of the richest people in the world throughout history have realized this fact and have manifested incredible wealth by consistently visualizing clearly exactly what they want and communicating this to their subconscious mind.

Psychic Development - For Beginners

By Angeline Tribe


The idea of psychic powers is one that's been in our world for untold millennia. Many people wish to undertake their own psychic development in order to have the abilities that most associate with the word. However, the actual abilities and their nature are far from what we've grown to think of them. Our modern world has belittled these abilities that every human has and has made them out to be nothing more than cheap magical tricks.

When starting out with your psychic development remember to keep in mind that what we have seen isn't everything. As humans we think, all too often, that we are alone in the cosmos. And the ultimate authority.

The first step to awakening your own latent psychic abilities is to understand that you are a very tiny piece of a much grander puzzle. The arrogant idea that you can command all the unseen forces of the universe simply because you want to is foolish, and often dangerous.

When you think about psychic powers the first thing that comes to your mind is probably telephone psychic's, get rich quick schemes, people who run talking to the dead scams, and cheesy magic tricks. These are the modern world's versions of psychics and give the people with legitimate power a bad name. Because of this, those who claim to be legitimate psychics are often labeled religious nuts, thrown in the same category as cultists, and persecuted by the major religions of the world.

A idea, which is completely false, is that psychic development is bad or even evil. Every human has these latent abilities of psychic power and the ability to develop them. But before you can think about developing these personal psychic powers, you must have unwavering faith in yourself and the flexibility of your mind to achieve these powers.

There is nothing mystical or magical about these psychic abilities. To put it simply, these are just beyond our material world. As such often they are considered magical tricks. The development of your psychic ability requires the acceptance of the unscientific and the unorthodox as true. First - that the mind and body are much more powerful than we believe they are.

The history of many empires, religions and groups of individuals have all had those gifted with the unusual ability to see things and do things that we today consider absurd. These were the prophets and mystics of the past. Their abilities included the healing of the wounded and the sick, summoning and working with beings of pure energy and also working with the deceased.

Although working with the deceased sounds rather creepy, it does have a legitimate purpose. When people die they have ties to the world of the living, loved ones, issues that have not been resolved. This prevents them from moving on and causes them misery and pain. A psychic working in this area tries to help the unfortunate soles so they can be released from this world and move on to the next dimension.

This is not something to view as a current trend or something cool so keep this in mind. It is a huge responsibility working with the souls of the dead. Don't consider developing your psychic abilities for amusement purposes. If you are ready to accept this responsibility then there a several things necessary to begin the learning process.

At the beginning of developing your psychic ability, it may seem like nothing is working. This is normal...it takes time to bring down barriers forced upon us by the modern beliefs of society. Concepts of good and evil, religious morality and the fear of something that is different. These are all some of the challenges faced.

You can begin to tear down these barriers by meditating every day and looking inside yourself. The meditation ritual is up to you, whatever relaxes you and opens you to the universe.

Remember this is your own personal journey, what works for others might not work for you. Just remember to have patience and never get frustrated.

After you've opened your mind and begun to accept certain ideas as truths, you will begin to experience things related to psychic development. These range from lucid dreams, OBE's, and other interesting events. Remember the universe is a part of you just as much as you are of it, respect it and it shall guide you.
