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?

A Lesson From The Past: Past Life Regression

By Jimmi Creak

Past Life Regression, better known as PLR is the process wherein someone seeks to have access to the memories of the past lives in order to give meaning to unexplained current events.

Sometimes, this method is employed to understand relationship which may affect us deeply with no reason at all. Think about a lady who started falling for a young boy at first glance or the boy who recollects from his thoughts that he is connected with someone upon first meeting him.

Past Life Regression is not a foolish belief. It has its foundation from the popular belief of reincarnation and this is normally found in the "Law of Karma". This is a principle that suggests that the soul is at a journey merged with terms such as "Existence", "Universal Consciousness", and many others. During this journey, the soul took up the physical form of the body in order to understand life's lesson along the way.

Experts believe that there are wide array of means to access the memories of our past lives.

For one, there is the practice known as Hypnotism. Think about those scenes on the movies wherein the person is asked to stare a locket then presto, something weird happened to the lead character. The process of hypnotism will submit someone into a hypnotic trance for him to go back to his past life, to recall all of those events in graphic detail. Hypnotism is a process of Past Life Regression which works very precise in collecting accurate details about the past life of someone.

Another means to access past life is through Meditative Trance State which is a kind of guided meditation that will transport someone into his or her past life. During this process, the individual will remains conscious of the present. Once practiced, a person can take the time to do it on his own by listening to a CD / tape. He can further allow himself to go into a meditative trance without any help.

There is also the process of acupuncture among the methods of accessing Past Life Regression. The principle here is that there are various pressure points within the whole body which can arouse special processes of the brain. Acupuncture will make use of specific pressure points in order to effectively stimulate the areas of the brain that has something to do with memories from the past lives.

Aside from stirring our curiosity to the topic of who we are back then, this process of understanding past life can offer wide range of benefits. For one, this is very effective among those people who are on the search for deep, spiritual reasons about their ailments or problems in life.

It does not catch our interest to know that there are people who have doubts regarding the actuality of this process. After all, any kind of beliefs or practices that does not have any scientific proof is regarded as something erroneous by people. But let it be known that there are so many facts that were thrown in order to establish the credibility that Past Life Regression actually takes place. What you should do is to look for those people who can read your past life effectively. Nevertheless, there was a finding that suggests that those people who consider reincarnation as something which is true can potentially recall their past lives with no trouble.

Past life regression and memory of past lives is too important a subject to be dismissed out of hand and it is important that everybody does their own research to get the concept clear in their minds.

Do Not Allow Friends To Ridicule The Idea Of Taking A Past Life Test

By Corrine Cogger

When ordinary forms of therapy do not help with your emotional problems and you found nothing in your early life that is causative, it is sometimes easy to imagine it could be experiences from a past life that trouble you. Is there any way to take a past life test to determine if you lived before or not?

Into the discussion comes the age-old chicken or the egg controversy. If we have a series of lives, when was the original life, and how many do I go through before my last life? Is there a past life? Of course, there is no scientific answer to these questions. We can however, try to determine to our own satisfaction whether we lived before and when.

You may have unfounded fear of some inanimate object or an activity that should be pleasurable. Let us imagine you are terrified while playing the piano. You love playing the music but the fear spoils your pleasure. Let your mind open to the possibility that someone smashed your fingers in the piano during a previous life. If no experience in this current incarnation explains it, this may be possible.

You and a trusted therapist came up with no viable answer after trying therapies including hypnosis. Hypnosis, as you may know, is no stage type mysterious phenomenon. It is deep relaxation that allows you to remember facts deeply buried in your memory. If that brought no hidden memories, you may want to take it to the next step.

There are therapists who specialize in past life age regression. We are not referring to a lady in a tent who for five dollars tells you what she sees in her crystal ball. These are academically trained professionals with an interest in helping people explore the past life they may or may not have experienced.

With past life age regression you may be able to connect your unreasonable fear in life to an incident that happened in a previous incarnation. Those who refuse to consider reincarnation a possible reality cannot be helped in this way obviously. Their minds are closed to the possibility. However, it may be the therapy that helps you confront and deal with your current emotional problems. Confronting a problem and working your way through it are the goal of any therapy.

Past life age regression may unravel they mystery of what is making you anxious, frightened or going through an unfounded phobia. Since knowledge is power, this may be a strong tool to use. There is no proof that reincarnation is either factual or not. But, don't let the fear of ridicule stop you from exploring the possibility. Be cautious in choosing a therapist though. He or she should be educated and credentialed as a therapist and have special interest in therapies related to reincarnation

It is best not to wander down the path of visualizing yourself having been Napoleon Bonaparte or Queen Elizabeth the first. Just as the chances of winning a lottery are slight, so is the likelihood of you having been a famous historical figure. Keep your mind open, select your therapist carefully and keep an open mind as you explore this fascinating possibility that you have had previous incarnations. A past life test may answer your questions.

Experiences of deja vu can be a great sign of your past lives. You feel, see, or understand something that you previously have before.

Topic Of Karma Reincarnation Is Of Great Interest To Many

By Jim McRoy

Hinduism posits that karma reincarnation is a law of God and nature. No act is without repercussions. A kind act will be returned with a good act. An evil one will bring only evil back on those who commit it. According to Hinduism, karma follows an individual from one life to the next. If your luck is all-bad, that indicates you did something bad earlier in life or in a past existence.

Those who believe that karma is a viable concept are encouraged to do only good in this life. Like Christianity, people are urged to be passive. Christians will fight for God but not for themselves. The Eastern religions accept whatever happens as karma and accept it, whether beneficial to them or not. A good example is the Hindu caste system in India and how the untouchables remain without status.

Karma is absolutely true according to believers. It answers all of life's questions. Why take any action when all of life's happenings are pre-ordained. No matter what you do, you are without influence on your own life.

Why follow such a negative attitude towards life? James Van Praagh considers himself a psychic who is connected to those who have died. We can see the unlikeliness of his ideas. However, there is no way to silence him since nothing can be proved.

Is reincarnation strictly a concept of Eastern religions? It may have been in the past but now is embraced by those in the Western world too. No longer strictly a religious theme, karma is expressed through meditation and development of psychic abilities. It promotes acceptance and passivity. Why try to changed anything if it is already determined how life will be. Your past life actions result in karma taking effect and you should simply accept what is.

No wonder people reject religious concepts. Who wants to be as passive as a herd of sheep following blindly as they follow their leading animals over a cliff. Man is more accomplished than that. He and she can grab life and wrestle it to the position they want their path to follow. They are not helpless souls who wait and celebrate or bemoan whatever life hands to them.

Exploring what may have befallen them in a previous incarnation is like trying to solve a mystery. People go to therapists for answers. Some turn to religious leaders. Some continue their education up to Ph. D. Level and beyond. Delve into your previous lives if you are so inclined. Be safe though. Select a responsible and reputable therapist to take you through the searching process.

If you can afford the money and time, there is no harm in trying past life regression therapy sessions. Try others as well if that doesn't work out well for you. There are all types of therapies and practitioners. Choose someone with good credentials.

You may want to try hypnotism to recall past life experiences. Find a therapist trained in the method to assist you. Relaxation is key to the process. You are in an ultra-relaxed state. Some people consider it to be trance like. Explore the possibilities of you having lived before by trying to remember facts and names of places that can later be verified true. Karma reincarnation may or may not be actual fact. No one knows for sure.

The Best Works of Fiction

By Martin Davis

It is very easy to assume that enjoyment of a book is entirely down to personal tastes, but there are always novels and short stories that everyone should experience in their lives. Every book, every story told, is an adventure we are a part of. We learn to love or to hate the characters as we join them on their journey and without this vital element, any story is lifeless. Whether you are an avid reader or whether you just enjoy some holiday literature, picking something engaging is quite a task.

Simply being a page turner might be enough. With simple reads like The Da Vinci Code or Twilight flooding the market, it may seem hard to pinpoint something with depth and significance. You have to look a little harder and dig a little deeper. Despite the popularity of some authors out there, their well known name does not necessarily make them particularly esteemed and you can't always trust the bookstore recommendations either.

So, what should you be looking for? A good novel has something important to say. It has longevity and significance, commenting on one or many aspects of society that capture attention; religion, environment, politics, psychology - anything and everything can be discussed via the medium of literature, simultaneously engaging the reader with an appealing story and loveable characters that have a subtext to stir debate.

There are novels in every century that have achieved this; Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Waugh's Bright Young Things, McEwan's The Cement Garden, McCarthy's The Road. You have undoubtedly heard of the first novel. It is what is commonly known as a 'classic' and there is a reason for that.

Each of these novels offers substance and meaning, presenting important themes we can apply to our own lives or the lives of someone way back in history. Reflecting a society we may or may not know, they comment on what is wrong and what is right within it. Building a story around these elements is a skill few have mastered. A good novel should change us for the better.

Polar Shift 2012: Are You Prepared?

By Cole R. Simers

Some people led to the theory of Polar Shift 2012 - what things that caused them to arrive to this matter? What is a polar shift anyway? For an information, polar shift is supposed to take place on the year 2012 with the Earth believed to start rotating on the opposite direction as a result of some catastrophic event.

Such is part of the scientific explanation that some people arrived to saying that the rotation of the Earth is never stable. While there are others who believe it is, some clues pointing to the shift happening on 2012 can be found in some history pieces. Experts have been able to theorize this phenomenon because of some ancient manuscripts and other forms of writings containing these clues.

The magnetic field that is reflected by the sun to the earth continues to rotate is another scientific explanation. Solid core, layer of magma, and crust are the parts of the earth. The magnetic field coming from the sun recharges the magma layer, which is just like a gigantic rotating donut .

It is not fully known why the magnetic field has decreased by 60% for the last couple of thousand years; however, it has been seen as the reason why, unless a pole shift occurs, the earth no longer contains many years left to last. According to Egyptians and Mayan beliefs, polar shift will happen because the decrease in the magnetic field has colossal destructive impact to the earth.

The factor to yield the shift in the direction that the poles go is the weakening of the earth's magnetic poles. Some expert people believe that the shift will occur in 2012 causing many people to wonder what will happen as the year comes near. Different predictions were made that suggest massive destruction to the people. One is the effect it can cause on activities like the road users and other complex operations that functions depend on magnetic north.

If the shift happens, the functions of these operations will be significantly affected. But more serious than that is that the magnetosphere, which is that element that provides protection against destructive particles to the earth, is in danger. The magnetism that functions as barrier to the earth does not only send protection from these damaging particles but from the solar winds as well.

As the earth is left exposed to the danger that the charged particles and radiation bring once the barrier is broken, the lives of the people and other inhabitants are risked. The theory contains that massive flooding, tsunami and earthquakes, as a result of the polar shift, will disastrously affect the tectonic plates of the earth and will cause many negative physical changes.

The change and effect will be catastrophic leading to a doomsday scenario if that theory does happen, as some prophecies have told the human race. It is not the question whether it is to happen or not. Should the doomsday occur, the question that is yet to be answered is how much the Polar Shift 2012 will affect the humankind or how much the people are prepared for it.

Earning While Learning The Medical Field Inspired By Miracles

By Darren T. Feild

Are you ready to begin learning the medical field inspired by miracles? If people tell you miracles don't exist, tell them to take a better look at what is happening in fields such as; acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology, bioidentical hormones, surgery, and more.

In February of 2010, a 7 year old girl, Heather McNamara, experienced a miracle in the form of a 23 hour operation to remove a tumor in her little abdomen, that was the size of an official MLB baseball. In order to get to it, the surgeons had to remove both intestinal tracks, her stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas. They had to make a new stomach for her and put back the intestines and liver; rendering her without a spleen and pancreas.

A lot of people who have experienced the fountain of youth effects of bioidentical hormone replacement, say they have found their miracle. (Don't confuse this treatment with conventional synthetic (horse) hormone therapy.) Here are some of the benefits: A decade or more of aging may be reversed; symptoms and diseases often disappear, and energy and vitality regenerates.

Thousands of surgeries have been "miraculously" canceled, thanks to the practice of hand (and more often) foot "reflexology". All the nerves in our bodies have endings in our hands and feet. It is possible to detect maladies within the body by pressing specific areas in the hands and feet to see if they are tender. The act of forceful massage creates increased blood flow to the specific organs and areas the nerves are connected to, which many times helps the recipient to return to health.

Homeopathic remedies are natural, not chemical. They are not poisonous like drugs are, so they don't create more problems. Indeed they go to the cause of the problem, rather than just cover up the symptoms like conventional medicine does. A "remedy" would never merely deaden headache pain, but rather, fix the source of the pain to prevent it from happening. Worldwide, 500 million people use homeopathic remedies, and many of them use homeopathic doctors for their primary care.

Pharmaceutical drugs are all toxic and they all have side effects, that doctors often treat with more drugs. This is not the case in homeopathy. The remedies are all natural and they are free from side effects, costing merely pennies per dose. In some European countries, conventional doctors refer their difficult cases to homeopathic practitioners.

Reports of recovering from major conditions like cancer and autism are not rare, and minor ailments, like colds, often are resolved within one day. This field of medicine is more than 200 years old and many people believe it's the answer to the health care crises in the United States -- and that it may be able to prevent the predicted collapse of the economy, due to health care costs.

From China comes another miracle; the ancient practice of acupuncture, which has shown good results for treating dozens of conditions. It is said to unblock energy pathways in the body, called, meridians; which in turn, allow the body to function normally. In acupuncture sessions needles are placed along meridian points to create a better flow of energy. It helps with addictions, weight loss, stress relief, male and female issues, digestive and immune disorders and more.

The relief of pain without suffering the addiction and other harmful side effects of pain medication, is one of the main reasons people initially try acupuncture. Indeed, acupuncture is one more example of why learning the medical field inspired by miracles, is of vital importance.
