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 Power - An Incredible Resource!

By Ronald Bigley

If you've ever seen the film Field of Dreams (or even if you haven't), you've heard the phrase 'if you build it, they will come'. Your subconscious mind power is what you want to build " just think and what will come is anything you can envision.

Your subconscious mind power has the capability to do almost anything you want to do in life. It's a capacity which all of us already possess. Your mind has more power than you've ever imagined " an incredible amount of power, in fact. Your subconscious mind power can heal you when you're sick, make you feel great or lower than low and do anything that you can focus your thoughts on.

It's only natural if you're skeptical about this idea, but before you reject this idea, think about the well known phenomena of the placebo effect. In clinical trials of medications, one group of participants are given the actual medication, the other a placebo. Both groups, however, are informed of the effects of the drug including any side effects which it may cause.

Subconscious mind power comes into play here and in many studies, both groups of participants will report almost exactly the same effects. Since both groups believe that they're receiving the drug, their minds influence their bodies, making them feel the effects which they know the medication can produce.

This is exactly why there are doctors who prefer not to tell patients about any side effects that a new medication might have. They know how powerful of a force that suggestion can be and that patients will often believe themselves to be experiencing side effects that they've been informed about, whether or not they're genuinely experiencing them.

You can help to cultivate your subconscious power by harnessing this power of suggestion. After all, if it works in clinical trials, why can't it work for you? This can be an effective means of communicating with your subconscious and unlocking its true potential.

Visualization is one commonly used method of learning to use the power of the subconscious mind to achieve goals. It's also one of the easiest ways to use your subconscious mind power " all you have to do is to close your eyes and visualize your objective as a mental image.

Something else which works for many whether on its own or along with visualization techniques is to find a picture of their goal " or better still, a picture of themselves with their objective. This image helps you to focus your subconscious mind power on achieving your objectives. Say that you want a certain car. Have a picture taken of yourself with this car and put it up somewhere that you'll see it every day. Every time you see your goal, it sends a message to your subconscious to put your mental energy into making it a reality.

There have always been people who have known the power of their subconscious and the efficacy of visualization and suggestion in harnessing this power, but it's only been very recently that we've even begun to gain an understanding of the mechanics involved.

As physicists know, at its essence all matter is made of pure energy and there is evidence which suggests that our minds may be able to influence this energy. For instance, there is the famous thought experiment of Schrodinger's cat. Some speculate that matter cannot exist unless it is being observed.

It may not be that our universe makes us, but that we make the universe. If this is how it really is, as increasing numbers of scientific studies suggest, then subconscious mind power may just be the key to changing the world in a very profound way.

There have always been religions which have held the belief that our own minds create the world and the universe. Now, science has started to approach this idea from its own standpoint. No matter what (if any) religious beliefs you may hold, you're probably a believer in the laws of physics.

Obviously, you'd want to use your subconscious mind power to change the world if you had the ability. It just takes learning to harness your mind power instead of letting it have control over you. You can get started by using affirmations and visualizations to reach your subconscious and let the power of your own mind help you to achieve your goals. Begin with a small goal and as your subconscious mind power grows stronger, you'll find it easier and easier to make the things you want a reality.

Your Subconscious Mind Power Is The Universe

By Ronald Bigley

Remember the phrase 'if you build it, they will come'? It's true " at least when you phrase it like this: if you think it, it will happen. Basically, if you can conceive it in your mind, it can come true.

Your subconscious mind power has the capability to do almost anything you want to do in life. It's a capacity which all of us already possess. Your mind has more power than you've ever imagined " an incredible amount of power, in fact. Your subconscious mind power can heal you when you're sick, make you feel great or lower than low and do anything that you can focus your thoughts on.

You're probably skeptical about this idea, but bear with me a moment. One example which may help you to see the possibilities comes from the world of clinical trials: the placebo effect. The control group in a test are given a placebo and the experimental group are given the medication being tested, though neither group knows whether or not it is actually receiving the drug.

For this reason, you find the experimental and control groups reporting much the same effects in clinical trials, since both groups know what the medication being tested is supposed to do. Regardless of whether the participants are being given the real medication or not, they think that they are and their mind essentially fools the body into feeling the purported effects of the medication.

This is exactly why there are doctors who prefer not to tell patients about any side effects that a new medication might have. They know how powerful of a force that suggestion can be and that patients will often believe themselves to be experiencing side effects that they've been informed about, whether or not they're genuinely experiencing them.

You can access your subconscious mind power by using this power of suggestion. The placebo effect can be put to work to make positive changes in your life. When you can control the suggestions which are fed to your subconscious, your mind power becomes truly your own.

Using visualization techniques is one of the best ways of unlocking the potential of your subconscious mind power. It's easy to do as well. All you need to do is to form a picture of your goal in your mind.

You can also use a method which many find to be very effective either in conjunction with visualization techniques or all by itself. This is to have a physical image of your goal around to remind you of it and to help you to focus your thoughts. Let's say that you'd like a particular car. You can find a picture of this car or best of all, a photograph of yourself with this car. Keep the photo somewhere that you'll see it every day. The more often you see the picture, the stronger of a focus you'll be able to develop on this goal in your mind and the more of your subconscious mind power you can bring to bear on your objective.

There have always been people who have known the power of their subconscious and the efficacy of visualization and suggestion in harnessing this power, but it's only been very recently that we've even begun to gain an understanding of the mechanics involved.

As physicists know, at its essence all matter is made of pure energy and there is evidence which suggests that our minds may be able to influence this energy. For instance, there is the famous thought experiment of Schrodinger's cat. Some speculate that matter cannot exist unless it is being observed.

It may not be that our universe makes us, but that we make the universe. If this is how it really is, as increasing numbers of scientific studies suggest, then subconscious mind power may just be the key to changing the world in a very profound way.

Some religious traditions have long accepted the idea that it is our minds which actually control our world and science is starting to make connections which could eventually explain exactly how this phenomenon works. No matter what religious beliefs, if any that you hold yourself, you probably do believe in physics.

If you were able to harness your own subconscious mind power to change reality to your own ends, you'd certainly want to " and you can, once you learn to communicate with your subconscious. Start by using visualization techniques and affirmations to focus your mind on your life goals. Start small; as you develop your subconscious mind power, you'll be able to achieve ever greater things in your life.

How Anyone Can Remote View

By Stephen Branch

Remote viewing occurs when something is seen while in a remote and distant location, and involves many faceted subjects. Actual viewing, on the other hand, takes place when something is viewed when you are actually at the location and see it as it is happening.

There is a bit of controversy surrounding remote viewing since nobody really knows or understand exactly how or why it is accomplished. The face remains though that a number of remote viewing studies have been conducted that have a record or producing amazing results.

Remote view works so well, that throughout history, governments across the globe have used the technique for spying purposes or to accomplish their specific security objectives.

Once the research documents became declassified the notion of being able to remote view gained popularity with the public.

How Can One Remote View?

By using your extra sensory perception powers and your potential senses, remote viewing can be practiced. In a sense it is very similar to practicing astral projection because you dont have to be in the exact location of what is being viewed, yet you can view the scene.

Anytime you have the notion to take a remote view you are able to view anything in any location. You can see areas on the earth, on planets or outer space. You may choose to go back in time, forward in time or stay in the present.

Everybody is capable of accomplishing remote viewing, but some people seem to have an extraordinary talent or gift for doing it. The rest of the people might have to make a special effort in order to learn the technique of focusing that is required to be able to train the conscious mind to a achieve the goal.

When you are interested in experiencing your reality in a new alternative perspective, you find that learning to remote view is very beneficial to you.

How Can You Remember Your Past Lives?

By Georgia Kirsten

In the world today, there are many more individuals who believe in reincarnation, than there are individuals who do not. For many it may be part of their religious beliefs, such as for Buddhists and Hindus, while for many others, it just makes sense to them or perhaps some may be simply curious. Whether they are searching for answers about that particular something that stands out in their minds that follows they all their lives or they are merely curious to find out, many individuals do their best to find out more concerning their past lives. There are various ways to discover the explanations, when you find yourself curious about past lives.

Journaling

Journaling is one of the easiest ways to begin your exploration of past lives. Write down everything you experience, even if it seems to be really trivial. Include your emotional reactions to events. Your emotions may be your strongest clues to what may be related to a past life. By journaling, you are creating a written record that you can refer to later when you try to piece together clues.

You can look for such clues in your present daily life. You can make lists of things that you may like and dislike, which may include anything from your childhood, foods, fashions, architecture, the climates, various cultures and historical periods. You may also consider including other things that come to mind, such as how you feel and what you think about your natural talents and gifts, fears or phobias, characteristics of your personality, birthmarks and scars as well as animals, occupations and those times you may experience dj vu.

Write about your dreams. Sometimes past lives come through very clearly when we dream. At other times we get little hints. Past and present and combine in a dream and give us symbols that may have meaning for you in both the past and the present. Before you fall asleep, give yourself the suggestion that you want to learn about your past lives. Write down anything and everything you can remember.

Past Life Regression Therapy

Professional past life regression therapists can be most helpful, since they are able to guide you through a regression and then aid you with the interpretation of the information you receive. You will find there are a few places for training and certifying these types of therapist, for instance the International Association of Past Life Therapists and the International Association for Regression and Research and Therapies both train and certify professional therapists. You may be able to find such a therapist in your area.

Meditation

There are many methods of meditation that can help you explore your past lives. While meditating on your own is a private way to find out about your past, some people may have trouble trusting the information that comes in, but you should try and trust your feelings.

While meditating may feel like a daydream, and images are flowing in and out, there may be some valuable information coming through. Write it all down and ponder it later. Likewise, if you tell yourself that you won't be able to do it or you won't get anything, you won't. Your mind is very suggestible, and it will retrieve what you tell it to.

Some people meditate better using a visual stimulus, like a candle flame, while others find it easier to meditate with sound. This can be a recorded guided meditation session you get from a therapist or a certain piece of music or just sounds, like the "om" sound or Tibetan bells.

There have also been great advances recently in audio technology with a process called binaural beats. Here sound waves of slightly different frequencies are played in each ear which has the result of instantly relaxing you to a state only normally achieved by Zen monks who have practiced meditation for years!

However, no matter which technique you may find useful for meditation purposes, you should always be in an area that offers no disturbances and that is peaceful.

Before meditation, you should be in a receptive and positive state of mind and either lie down or sit in a comfortable position. Quiet your mind, while focusing on the relaxation of your muscles. If you experience any unwanted thoughts, simply acknowledge then and then let them flow away. This does take a bit of practice. You should not expect anything but to become relaxed, while focusing on your heart. If you have questions, simply ask them and then let them go. Rest assured that more than likely, the answers will come when you least expect them.

No matter you beliefs in reincarnation, it is essential to know that you will receive images that will be helpful to you for resolving some matter in your life. You may not always receive images that are from a precious life, however, many individuals do receive enough information to begin researching and verifying events, places and even names.

Some individuals find that the people they love in this life were there with them in a previous life, although their relationship may vary. For instance a mother may have been a sister or even a wife in a previous lifetime.

No matter the initial belief of some individuals, concerning past lives or reincarnation, many individuals who do try regression may find that the information they receive can be extremely interesting and helpful.

Why is Past Life Regression So Beneficial?

By James A Simmeon

There is no denying the fact that the belief in past life, or reincarnation, is prevalent across the board in almost every religion, from Christianity to Hinduism to Buddhism to Kabalah. And the interest of humans in knowing as much as possible about their past lives is also quite widespread. But how many of us are interested in knowing about our past lives in order to make a positive change in our present lives?

What lures most people to explore their past lives is the intriguing nature of it. Somewhat like living a real life science fiction movie, remembering our past lives is a little off the beaten path to say the least. The thing to consider is that Past Life Regression can benefit us greatly in our present life.

Research has shown that Past Life Regression yields good results in the treatment of emotional problems. There is no doubt that you can make a positive change in your life by remembering your past life and the bad experiences you had in that time period..

Normally you would go to a professional on Past Life Regression for a hypnosis session, but you can do this through self-hypnosis also. You can also find more tools online to help if you wish to do this.

Try simple affirmations to help you. You need your subconscious mind to accept that it is okay to remember your past lives as it is more normal for you to 'block out' these memories.

It is necessary to accept certain things before you attempt to use Past Life Regression to explore your past lives.

Past life is a part of our present life. The memory of events from previous lives is hidden somewhere in the unconscious that just needs some external help to bring it to life.

Mere knowledge of past life experiences add up to nothing. The knowledge gained thus, must be put to practical use in the present life for better results.

The past life experiences can be positively used in order to bring about a change in the present life. The mistakes made in the previous lives can be learnt and avoided in the present life.

You will be able to benefit from Past Life Regression whether you believe in reincarnation or not. You may think you are imagining the memories of your past live, either way you will learn from it. You can change your behavior and avoid mistakes by seeing the mistakes of the past.

There are a couple of good reasons for using Past Life Regression whether you believe in it or not. The following is the two main reasons to do this according to experts:

a) If you benefit from the lessons of such events by applying them to the present life, then these were indeed, the past life experiences.

b) If you think you have imagined everything it can still be of help to you as it can clear your head of things that are stopping you from being successful.

What benefits should you expect from Past Life Regression?

1) It helps our present life by making us deal with the traumatic events of the past.

2) You will be able to think and make decisions more clearly.

3) If you know what you have done in the past to hurt someone and suffered the consequences you will change this behavior. Remembering the past life where you have done this will make you take a second look at your present behavior.

4) You have potential that you do not realize you have. Exploring your past live will make you see a talent or skill that may be buried deep in your subconscious. Discovering this could change your outlook on life forever.

5) Understanding the past life experiences answers a lot of burning questions about one's attributes, personality, characteristics, etc. in the present life.

Past Life Regression is certainly a win-win proposition for believers and disbelievers. If you want to make a positive change in your present life, it is definitely worth trying!

Cosmic Ordering And Its Effect On Your Life

By Samantha Hill

More and more people are looking for ways to enjoy their lives and fulfill their desires these days. They are trying to accomplish their goals and also satisfy their materialistic and other aspirations. In today's world there are more and more ways of getting the kind of life you want but nothing is as good as cosmic ordering.

Cosmic ordering is nothing but a different form of a spiritual practice which enables you to get all your wishes and desires fulfilled by the universe. All you need to do is to ask or just order and you will get it. Though this may be some what a spiritual process but it doesn't mean you need to be a saint to get the results. Yes, if you are one, then it will only help but this process works for normal people as well.

In simple terms cosmic ordering means manifesting your goals and dreams through the spiritual way. You can ask for anything or order anything that you desire from the universe from changing your life to getting the partner of your dreams.

Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer believe that to manifest your order with the universe, you need to be in something known as the 'field of intent'. This is nothing but an invisible energy field which aids and catalyses the connection between the spirit and the universe and helps in manifesting our desires.

There is a high probability that you have done cosmic ordering before without realizing what it really was. If you jog your memory, then there must have been a time when you really wanted something badly and you got it. Most people term it as a coincidence and don't realize the true power they have. It's never a coincidence, it was just cosmic ordering.

Power of intention is vital to cosmic ordering since intention is nothing but an amalgamation of our innermost faith and desires. We need to have complete conviction that we deserve what we want and really want it. This is the only way to make cosmic ordering work.

People may express their desire for a new car or a new pay raise. However nothing works till you believe that you are not worthy or you didn't work hard for getting them. You need to actually be dead sure and have complete conviction that you deserve it and you will get it.

Its one of the most straightforward and easy processes in the world and it can help you to completely change your life. The only problem here is that if you believe and focus on the bad or the negative instead of positive, then cosmic ordering may manifest the negative as well.

Hence, people who are always scared of losing their job may even see their fear coming true one day. Therefore just think of the good things that you want. Don't think about the bad ones.

Living in negative and pessimistic mindset and circumstances for years together has led many people to believe that they don't deserve to be happy. Hence, for these kind of people manifesting their desires is a Herculean task; almost unattainable.

Your subconscious mind can also become your biggest enemy and hindrance in manifesting the things that you desire because the beliefs fed into it for years may not allow it to believe in the cosmic ordering service.

To really be successful in ordering what you need from the cosmos, you need to prepare your subconscious mind to believe that you are worthy of being happy and getting what you want. It's not a tough thing to change the beliefs and innermost thoughts of your subconscious. There are various tools like meditation, affirmations and hypnosis which can change that

Lot of people world over have used cosmic ordering to manifest the life they want. Its time for you to also use this tool and get the life you really want. Now is the time to use cosmic ordering to have a great and prosperous life.

Can Anyone Try Lucid Dreaming?

By Trevor Albitt

Sometimes known as conscious dreaming, lucid dreaming is the art of keeping self aware and knowing that one is dreaming while in a dream. This includes being conscious that the events unfolding around you are only part of the dream and being able to exercise control over the dream. All of this is possible for the person who has learned how to use lucid dreaming.

Having control over your dreams is an incredible experience. Everything which you thought you couldn't keep from holding you back from your goals just falls before you and you have new found mental clarity, even when awake.

But is it as simple as it looks like? Can everyone experience lucid dreaming and bring to life what otherwise seems difficult or impossible in this reality?

Luckily, it's really not that hard to begin lucid dreaming, as long as you are determined to learn it. There are proven ways to help you access this ability and use your untapped mental power.

Foremost, you must be absolutely clear about your objective in trying to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you just want to have your own private playground in the form of lucid dreams, or there is some specific reason for developing this skill? Whatever may be the reason, it should be crystal clear in your mind.

The next step is to learn the techniques of reaching the mental state where lucid dreaming is possible. You'll have to begin learning dream recall, which is simply remembering your dreams. To begin lucid dreaming, you need to first be able to recall every detail of the dreams that you have.

The process is slow, but it can be achieved by maintaining a Dream Recall Register in which you enter as many details as you can remember about your dreams daily. Slowly but surely, you'll realize that you can remember even the most vivid details of your dreams. Periodic reality checks during the course of dreaming will train your mind to be aware in dreams.

Many people have found that hypnosis can drastically reduce the time needed to prepare your subconscious mind to experience lucid dreaming. Often just one of two hypnosis sessions will allow you to consistently remember all of your dreams. Once this occurs your mind is then conditioned for lucid dreaming.

While in a lucid dream, it may happen that suddenly, you are wide-awake. However, with the power that you have attained so far, you'll be easily able to recollect all the important details of the dream. Now, just try to relax and sleep again, while continuing the dream with the desired directions. When you wake up, you'll realize the real power of conscious dreaming you just experienced the night before.

Another good way of inducing lucid dreams is to wake a few hours earlier than usual, then go back to sleep. The dreams you will have in these few hours are the easiest to make into lucid dreams. You may even find yourself unsure whether you have been sleeping or just thinking to yourself as you lay in bed. Just set your alarm for a few hours early, wake and reset the alarm and then go back to sleep and you will be more likely to have lucid dreams.

In this regard, it's extremely useful to keep track of your sleeping patterns so as to discover the best time to have lucid dreams.

Lucid dreaming can help people with insomnia and other sleep disorders. If you have trouble sleeping, just tell yourself "Sleeping equals lucid dreaming" and your subconscious mind will help you become free of the thoughts keeping you awake.

Lucid dreaming used to be something which took a very long time to learn. Recent technological advances, particularly in the field of audio technology have made lucid dreaming something which anyone can easily accomplish.

One of the quickest and most reliable methods of inducing lucid dreaming is to listen to binaural beats audio.

Binaural audio involves listening to two slightly different frequencies in each ear. This synchronizes brain waves to the state where lucid dreaming is most likely to occur and at the same time causes deep relaxation.

Before binaural audio technology, meditation was the method of choice for those wanting to learn lucid dreaming, and this was a process which could sometimes take years to master. Many simply gave up, not having the determination to pursue the practice.

Particularly in conjunction with hypnotherapy, binaural sound waves can get your mind ready for lucid dreaming, sometimes as early as your first attempt!
