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?

I Broke up with Her, Now I Want my Girlfriend Back

By Ricardo d Argence

Dumped your girlfriend? Now you want her back. You will need to act quickly. But you dont want to make the same mistakes that most guys do when they are trying desperately to get their ex-girlfriends back.

In trying to win her back youve probably have been sending her gifts, expensive gifts. Your way of telling her how much she means to you and a desperate attempt to win her back.

Chances are none of that has worked, because to be honest it's pretty old hat and your girlfriend wants to see something more honest and much more innovative from you.

Its likely you will need to jump some hoops before your dumped ex-girlfriend will consider taking you back. Even if she is desperate to have you back. You did dump her and its going to be difficult to get over how she feels about that.

There is no question or doubt, you may seriously have hurt her pride and feelings. And she will act accordingly. It will depend on how badly you want her back which will determine how prepared you will be to accept the consequences.

You will need to explain truthfully the reasons for your actions. Its best you take some time to conclude your reason for dumping her. Sit down with her and explain honestly your reasons for your actions.

An apology will definitely be in order along with a promise that this will not occur again, ever. If you truly want her back this should be done with sincerity.

Maybe you panicked as you saw the relationship deepening and getting more and more serious. It's a pretty common feature for some guys and to suddenly feel as they are feeling smothered and overwhelmed in a relationship and instead of sitting down with their girlfriends, they panic.

Before you know it, you have a dumped girlfriend and you're living with regret. So perhaps this is the situation that you have to explain to your ex girlfriend. If it is, again, be honest.

What you must guard against in a situation where you were clearly in the wrong and you over reacted, is that you don't become her punching bag. Don't allow her to use you as an emotional vessel into which she pours out all her frustrations and anger just because she can. So doormat out, understanding and apologetic guy in!

Chances that you both have feelings for each other is good and you will get back together again. You may have dumped your girlfriend, but let her know that you sincerely want to start over again and are not reacting to guilt feelings about dumping her.

I Sense Him Near - But How Do I Know? Phil G Talks About Life After Death

By Afterlife Phil G

Afterlife Phil G shares his mailbag to help Lisa from Britain to connect with her father in the Afterlife: "I lost my father, I sense him near, but my thoughts are so mixed up I can't actually know if it's his thoughts or mine..."

"Sensing contact with the afterlife doesn't mean you can easily understand or believe the contact is real or clear, especially if it's someone very close to you - you need to find a way to verify things the contact is real, and not just imagined."

I had the same problem (visitors to my website on contacting the afterlife will know my discovery was accidental, back in 2002) and it's why I developed my simple technique. Firstly, if you sense him around, then he's there. I know some would think that's a nave statement, but it's true and you can verify it yourself in time.

I assume you're past the stage of believing in life after death, and family and friends in the Afterlife are contactable. So we'll move on to knowing the difference between your own thoughts, and those of someone who's 'coming through' to you. The first step, even if you're pretty good at 'feeling' a connection, is to become relaxed. Like a deep meditation phase.

On my web site on contacting the afterlife, I share many ideas to help, most of it free, including instructions, a YouTube video, and a list of books and guides to help. But the starting point is relaxing. I find it hard to get clear detail if I am busy, rushed, or thinking about too many things. So the first step is to be very relaxed, to the point of not being aware of anything else around you. Whilst I suggest my own audio guide "Contact Family in the Afterlife yourself", any meditation will do.

In order to get clear messages or feelings is to discern the difference between the thoughts in your head, and the INCOMING thoughts. One key is to not ask for specific 'signs', but to accept whatever comes through. Maybe you won't get what you're expecting, but gradually you will get things clearly, becoming easier the more you try.

What you need to do next is separate your thoughts from those you are receiving those in the Afterlife. I find the starting point is to be very relaxed, but then to try NOT to get any specific thoughts, and accept whatever comes through. You may not get what you want right now, but you will start to sense things, often that seem odd or insignificant, but it will become clearer the more you try.

Lastly, you want to verify what just happened is not your own thoughts, and my suggestion is to ask for something you don't know, or something you're forgotten. Something you don't know can be anything. In my wife's case, the final 'proof' she needed to verify I was sharing messages from her father was for me to ask if she had knocked a round cylinder containing a bunch of pens and pencils off her desk today? Something I didn't know, and did not even know about the cylinder.

In my book 'Soul Matters " the Voice Within' I talk about my Grandma coming through (who passed away when I was about 7) showing me a plate with a 'scone' on it. I had no idea what this meant, until I heard her soft voice say "don't you remember the scones?' - then I remembered. I had asked my mum many times to make scones like my Grandma (who's British, and they make scones completely different from Australians!). I had completely forgotten that.

So ask, and trust the answer, even if what you get does not make sense - and over the next few hours or days it will, and it will verify your connection. In your case, I understand you already sense him near, and don't really need to know how to connect clearly with him, but I've shared these things because I feel if you do these small simple steps, you'll go from sensing he's with you to getting clear messages and being able to verify it's real.

I hope this works for you. Tell me how you get on in a few months by using the feedback link on the website (philg.net.au). I'm sure you'll get the clarity and proof you desire.

How To Win Back Your Boyfriend If He's Left You

By Ricardo d Argence

Has your boyfriend dumped you? Are you longing to get him back again? Well, if you are then you need to exercise a certain amount of caution in order to avoid scaring him away.

Firstly remember that just because you want him back it doesn't mean that he wants to come back. If you've broken up before and your relationship has become a breakup/makeup merry go round, pretty soon one or both of you will want to one day get off that particular ride for good.

Remember, there is always a chance that he's become sick and tired of the breakup and makeup routine and as such, how you feel and what you want may be of no importance to him any longer.

Secondly to get guy back you're really going to have to look at the relationship as a whole, not just the parts you're comfortable looking at, because only then can you begin to find out what's causing the problems.

It may be very much worth your while to seek help and advice from outside, particularly if you think it may help. Under such circumstances good, honest friends can be invaluable, providing they willing to tell you what you need to hear, instead of what you would like to hear.

You should also understand that to pull this off you're going to have to stop acting on whim and emotion and start working a well thought out proven plan. This is probably the most crucial step you will need to take, so get yourself under control.

Take some time out to formulate a plan in order to prevent yourself from making matters worse. In other words, don't be tempted to phone him all the time and don't text in either. Likewise, don't try to manipulate in such a way so as to get him to see you.

You'd be far better off occupying yourself with a meeting other people and going out socializing. In fact, do whatever it takes in order to regain a reasonable amount of clarity with regards to the situation.

Especially take the time to look at why you want to get guy back, because to be honest, too many people find themselves back with their exs only to discover a few weeks down the line that they have made a huge mistake. So just because you want to get guy back right now, ask yourself if you really should?

However, if you've made the decision that you definitely want to get your boyfriend back, and you're satisfied that you're in control of yourself, then you need to prepare yourself for the next step which will involve actually discussing it with him.

One other thing you should bear in mind is; he may not feel ready to see you yet and if that's the case is not very likely to want to discuss getting back together again. If you find yourself in a situation like this, rather than trying to force the issue, accept that he needs more time.

Instead, tell him that you understand completely and then tell him you will give him more time to think things through. Leave it at that and continue living your life and keeping yourself busy.

If You Want Your Ex Back, Face Up Your Mistakes

By Ricardo d Argence

Let's face it; if you're hoping to patch things up between you and your ex, then you had better be prepared for the fact that you're going to have to face up to the truth.

As sure as eggs are eggs, making mistakes in relationships means you have to fix them and apologize for those mistakes before there can be any making up.

When you decide you want to get back with an ex, you must be ready to face not only what has gone wrong with the relationship, but also your part in the break down of the relationship.

If you made mistakes then don't beat yourself up for that. We all make them, it's what you do after the mistake that's important.

Rather than rush into anything, take some time out in order to analyze what went wrong and what it was that led up to the relationship breaking down. Additionally, try not to focus on any mistakes your ex made because that is something you can deal with in the future. Right now you're only need to worry about those things which you can influence.

Irrespective of what mistakes you made in the past, do you think it's possible that your ex will be able to forgive you for them? Whatever you do, don't be too quick to come down hard on yourself by being that your mistakes are unforgivable.

You would be surprised at the situations that couples find themselves in and that they later recover from. So don't think that your mistakes are beyond forgiveness. There is always hope!

Furthermore, you need to try and determine what exactly what's happening at that time that you made the mistakes, particularly if they were in contrast to your usual character. This is where you may need to come face to face with accepting responsibility for your mistakes.

By determining what events were taking place at the time, you may well come to discover that your behavior was partly due to outside forces such as stressed, family problems, or even stress at work. Of course, if you do arrive at such a conclusion then you'll need to discuss this in great detail with your ex.

If you discover that there were in fact no extenuating circumstances that that your mistakes were simply a result of selfishness or thoughtlessness, then you have still got a chance to fix things again. Of course it's going to take an effort on your part but if you're serious about getting back together again with your ex, than it needs to be done.

Once you get to a point where you manage to put things into perspective regarding your mistakes, then it's time for you to contact your ex in order to make arrangements to meet. You should bear in mind however, that is in your own best interest to meet face to face and also to meet in a public place. This is because they will be less chance that either of you will become emotional.

When you do meet, you need to do what ever you must in order to remain calm and focused on what needs to be said. When the opportunity arises go ahead and apologize and ask her to forgive you. Once you're done then of course you need to listen carefully while your ex lets you know what's on her mind.

Lucid Dreams - Experience Every Fantasy!

By Paul Benson

Something which may amaze you to learn is that it is possible to be aware that you are dreaming even while in the middle of the experience and even begin to control the course of your dream! Such dreams are called lucid dreams and they allow you to sit in the director's chair and let you decide what will happen.

It's like having your own movie studio with an unlimited budget - anything you want to see or experience is within your power to make happen.

Unlike regular dreams which follow their own pace and their own internal logic, lucid dreams can be controlled by the dreamer. Your lucid dreams seem incredibly real, no matter how fantastic the events you decide to make a part of them.

One way to tell the difference between a regular dream and a lucid dream is to try picking up a book or newspaper in your dream. If you can read the words there and make sense of them, then this is almost certainly a lucid dream. In most dreams, you'd be unable to read the words on the page; they will either keep changing or be impossible to read at all.

When you're having lucid dreams, you can bring all of your dreams and fantasies to life. You can visit any place in the universe and speak with people from the past and present - if you can imagine it, you can make it happen!

If you don't like the way that a lucid dream is going, you can always turn things around. You can even relief events from your own life and make them turn out in a better way; many people find that this is one of the benefits of lucid dreaming that can help them to work through some things in their lives.

Lucid dreams are something which anyone can learn to do. While your body needs to rest to take care of essential biological functions like cellular repair, you can do so while a part of your mind remains conscious and active. This is what occurs in lucid dreaming.

You'll need to practice lucid dreaming before you're able to do it at will. This can take some time, so keep practicing and be patient; these dreams will come to you with time.

Starting a dream diary is a good way to start learning to lucid dream. When you awake from a dream, write down everything you can remember. Keep your journal by your bedside so that it is quickly accessible to you upon waking. With time, you'll improve your ability to remember your dreams and this trains your mind to recognize when it is dreaming. When you acquire this skill, you'll be able to start making your dreams lucid ones.

Creative professionals such as writers often use lucid dreaming to help them create their novels. Lucid dreams are a good way to try out plots and develop characters and dialogue even as they sleep! If you're a creative person, lucid dreaming offers you a great opportunity to try out new ideas.

When you get into the habit of remembering your dreams, you'll be able to return to your dreams when you go back to sleep and start controlling their course.

The last hour or two before the time when you normally awake are the best for lucid dreaming. When you awake a little early and go back to bed, you may feel like you have just been laying in bed thinking when your alarm finally goes off; however, you have actually been lucid dreaming!

With a little practice, you'll find that it's easy to bring yourself into the necessary mental state for lucid dreaming. Self hypnosis can help you get started by helping you to remember your dreams.

There is also a technological development in the field of audio which helps you to achieve the state where lucid dreaming happens easily. Binaural beats are frequencies which synchronize the hemispheres of your brain and tune your brainwaves to the frequency needed for lucid dreams to happen.

ADD Symptoms Reviews & Guide

By Anne Durrell

Recognizing the different and understanding the different types of ADD Symptoms can help ensure that you or your kid gets the correct treatment.

Different Signs

There are three different categories for ADHD Symptoms, they are:

* Inattention

* Hyperactivity

* Reckless

ADD, on the other hand, only causes the inattention symptoms.

Handling a patient for ADHD when they have ADD and is overmedication could lead to further troubles. In most cases, the stories about Ritalin and other ADHD therapy medications that make a kid to be zombie-like are perhaps connected directly to medicating kids with only ADD with the incorrect medication or incorrect doses, assuming that the kids have ADHD.

Inattention Symptoms

With ADD the only type of warning signs that will be showed are inattentiveness symptoms, and they are include:

* No attention to details

* Offhand mistakes

* Easily sidetracked

* Poor listening skills

* Trouble following information

* Cannot finish the tasks

* Can't put anything in order

* Neglectful

Analyzing ADD can help a child get a grasp on stuffs as well as begin to be able to concentrate. A childe that is treated for ADD will start to do better in school as well as have better activities overall.

In most situations, parents always believe that their children could not be ADD since they can sit for many hours doing something they like without being distracted.

The truth is that a child with ADD can concentrate when they like what they are doing because it does not require them to put effort into paying attention and being focused like an activity they do not like does.

ADD will worsen, as the child gets older or at least continue to cause problems with school and other activities. By this time, though, it has progressed into something that is probably causing all around issues in the child's life.

It is actually a lot better to recognized ADD in younger children so that they can get used to taking medication as well as learn how to handle ADD symptoms.
