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?

Learn Attractive Specifics About Feng Shui History

By William Wallace

Feng Shui is old Chinese custom of utilizing specific so named laws governing the heavens and earth that can enhance through what is known as having positive Qi. Feng Shui history is an ancient one and covers over 3,500 years. It's even older than the invention of the magnetic compass. A main part of its origins may stem from primeval astronomy.

The astronomical history of Feng Shui is evident in the ancient instruments that were being developed in its practice. The earliest acknowledged Feng Shui tool may have been what is known as the gnomon. This device was used along with trying to circumpolar the stars in order to find out the north and south axis. This was basically used in laying down initial Chinese settlements.

The ancient Yangshao and Hongshan cultures in China provide the first evidences of the practice of feng shui. As prematurely as 4000 BCE, doors from Banpo dwellings were being aligned to the star named Yingshi just right following the winter solstice. This allowed the houses to be positioned for improved solar gain. For the duration of the Zhou era, the star Yingshi was accepted as Ding and had a huge influence in trying to decide the suitable time to construct their capital city. This is relating to minutes on the Shijing.

An additional example of the practice of ancient feng shui can also be discovered from the crypt at Puyang that dates back to about 3000 BCE. This particular crypt contains mosaics of the stars known as Dragon and Tiger along with the Beidou, known in the Western world as the Big Dipper constellation. The mosaics seem to be oriented along the north to south axis. The presence of round and square shapes were also found at the Puyang tomb as well as at the Hongshan cultural ritual centers and the previous Longshan settlement. These evidences suggest that the custom of gaitian astronomy (belief in a circular earth and a square earth) was already present in the primeval Chinese society.

One of the oldest devices utilized in primeval feng shui were the liuren astrolabes. These primeval devices consist of a lacquered, two-sided board fitted with astronomical sightlines. The oldest of the liuren astrolabes have been found and discovered from tombs dating from 278 BCE and 209 BCE. These very old astrolabes demonstrate the cord-hook diagram and some of those found even contain the magic square of three. The markings on these devices remained unchanged, from the primeval astrolabe down to the first magnetic compasses.

The custom of astronomy that bears a striking resemblance to many contemporary feng shui instruments and theories were also discovered on a jade relic found in Hanshan that dated at approximately 3000 BCE. Prehistoric structures in China which integrated its palaces in the capital cities are all influenced by feng shui in their design and layout. The rules that were followed were written in the Zhou period on the "Kaogong ji", or the "Manual of Crafts".

The magnetic compass was initially invented for the practice of feng shui and has been in use since its creation. Traditional feng shui devices comprise the Luopan or the earlier south-pointing spoon or the zhinan zhen. This reveals the extent of feng shui history and its long standing practice in ancient Chinese history.

How Anyone Can Develop Telepathy

By George J Dexon

Telepathy is the direct exchange of thoughts, feelings and emotions between the minds of two people. This is a method of communication which uses nothing but the power of the mind to convey a message.

Telepathy is an ability which every one of us innately possesses. However, this is also an ability which is not commonly practiced, so most people are unable to consciously use or control it. From time to time, all of us have moments where our natural telepathy comes into play. However, what if you could use this incredible communication ability consciously?

There is plenty of skepticism about telepathy, just as there is about any other less commonly used natural mental ability which humans possess. Think about a time when you have used telepathy; for example, I bet you've been in a great mood when you run into a friend who is feeling down. Even after speaking to him or her for just a minute, you start feeling these sad, depressive emotions yourself.

Its not the words the person is saying to you, its the transference of their emotions and feeling leaking into your own subconscious mind. This is a form of telepathy.

Studies have demonstrated that it is possible to access and activate the portion of the subconscious which is responsible for this ability. By focusing your thoughts on a specific person, you are then able to communicate with them telepathically.

All forms of communication have to be learned; you werent born knowing how to speak your native language, it is something you learned by observing and imitating your family.

Most likely, telepathy is not something your parents taught you; but this doesnt mean that you cant use this ability. It only means that you havent learned how to make use of it yet.

Here are some ways to develop the telepathic abilities which all of us are born with.

Mental-Muscle training

Just as we have to learn how to control our vocal chords as children to form speech, your telepathic muscles will also need some training.

The part of your brain which is responsible for telepathy is most readily accessed while you are in a trance state. This is a state of deep relaxation which can be reached through meditation and other techniques.

Learn to relax your mind so that you can reach your trance state easily. When you can reach this point, youve begun to train your mind to be controlled at will.

Focus

Learning to maintain your minds focus while youre in a trance state can be quite difficult to master. During your next deep relaxation session, focus on someone youd like to contact you.

Imagine this person and project happy thoughts. Visualize the person receiving your happy thoughts and feelings. Maintain your focus for as long as you think it takes the person to feel the connection between you.

Then stop focusing on them at all. Stop the contact so that they can feel the communication being broken off; this should make them attempt to reestablish this link.

Keep practicing this technique; once you start telepathy training with a partner, this practice should have prepared you well for sending and receiving telepathic communications.

Partner Practice

Choose one person to be the receiver and one to be the sender. The sender should choose simple items to project. Choose items with clear, bright colors that are easily recognizable.

The receiver should have a pen and paper handy in order to write down anything which may be a telepathic communication.

Afterwards, sender and receiver compare notes to assess how successful the exercise has been. Dont get discouraged; telepathy is an ability which takes practice, but you will improve over time.

A Look At The Power Of The Subconscious

By Jayne Colman

When one speaks of a weird reoccurring dream, how often have they said, "My subconscious must be trying to tell me something." Really, our subconscious minds do send us messages that are both good and bad.

Often times those gut feelings we have are simply our subconscious mind breaking through and telling us we need to act in certain situations. The problem is we more often than not do not listen to the messages our subconscious is sending us.

Your Subconscious Has the Power to Hold You Back

Surprisingly of what we hear, see and experience in life is buried in our subconscious. So if as a youth you were often told that you are not worth much, that you will never meet you dreams and that you are a failure, your subconscious mind will bury those words. Later in life when you are older, you see that you have goals but no matter how hard you try, you cannot meet them because you are always running into problems that set you back.

Truly, it is not the obstacles at all but your subconscious mind repeating such words that you heard as a youth and repeating them back to you and thus holding you back from accomplishing your goals. This can really leave you feeling like you cannot ever be a success at anything you try.

Your Subconscious Has the Power to Push You Forward

On the other hand, the opposite holds trust that if as a youth you have been told repeatedly that you can do anything you want, and then as you get older you will be able to accomplish all you set out to do no matter how many people tell you that it cannot be done.

The Key to the Power of Your Subconscious

The key to harnessing the power of your subconscious is to replace the negative thoughts that abide there while listening to the helpful messages your subconscious is telling you. For years self help gurus have told you that the way to increase your self esteem is to say positive things about yourself out loud. What they are not telling you and in fact, may not understand themselves is that by repeating these positive remarks over and over we are burying these positive thoughts in our subconscious and pushing those negative thoughts even deeper or ridding ourselves of them altogether.

When these good thoughts are buried just beneath the surface it will be those thoughts that pop up when we are trying to reach a goal. Instead of hearing the message, I cannot do this, we will now hear, I can do this and we will feel like we deserve to meet that goal.

So when we are faced with a task, our subconscious is not only telling we know how to accomplish the task but we deserve to do so and to reap all the benefits from our accomplishments. This belief makes it possible to achieve anything we put our minds to as long as we are willing to work towards the goal we have set.

It is shocking at just how much you can do when you learn how to harness the power of your subconscious.

Use The Power Of The Mind To Reach Everything You Desire

By Jon Paul Holt

Unless you were born yesterday, you should know by now that there are things in life which you cannot easily attain. Think about the Porsche that you've been dreading to have but just do not have the cash to spare. This is why people would use the habit of hoping so they can somehow appease themselves into believing that they can for sure reach that day when all of aspirations in life will become tangible. But instead of focusing yourself into the hoping stage, don't you think it is better to start reaching them? The power of the mind can help you!

You can make use of your mind if you are free from all the pressure and deadlines that you will meet in life. Although it is possible for ideas to pop up right during the most unfortunate times, if you stay alert during these occasions then you will never be lacking with the information you need in order to attain success in life.

Open up yourself to the probability of using the power of the mind. Although there are times when you can't help but recall about those factors which can limit success, but by the time when you allow the mind to work, you can expect to see beautiful things coming into you. The mind is so great that you can give it a task and you right then and there see how it can work independently while your body is busy doing other things.

This is how amazing the mind is; no doubt it is placed at the uppermost part of the body.

Once you surround yourself with only the positive things, you will realize that you are seeing only the positive results. Hence by the time when you bombarded yourself with all those negative stuffs and emotions then this will allow you to gather negative aspects as well.

So you can correctly utilize the power of the mind, take the time to consider the tips below:

* Stay in a quiet place. Try to relax yourself in your favorite chair or you can lie down if you wish to.

* Go for a comfortable and loosen clothing because this will allow you to think properly

* Uncross both your arms and legs so you can feel more relax.

* Get centered through the means of focusing on the breathing because this will work to activate the vagus nerve that is considered as the major quieting nerve within the whole body.

* As a rule, be sure that you completely relaxes the body and mind.

As you can see, you should be at your relaxed state to rightly use the power of the mind. At first you will see the activity as something difficult but with patience you will be able to do with properly in no time.

Indeed, the power of the mind is so immense to the point that it can transport you to different places that you want to go and this will allow you to become the person that you would like to. So go on and pursue what your mind can reach because the result is something that is beyond words to explain. You will feel great satisfaction and will be in a state of euphoria.

Learning How To Be An ESP Psychic

By David Sussex

When people think of an esp psychic, automatically those that do not have the mentality to become an esp psychic know these people are out to make a quick buck. For the most part, the so called esp psychic which charges money to prey on innocent beings is a fake.

Normally, a true esp psychic does not get the credibility in which is deserved for the amount of help they have given to individuals. When a person with genuine esp psychic abilities has the power to help people by using these senses, in many cases when the psychic person makes a huge mistake and turns to friends for help, because the natural esp psychic's powers were interrupted by some sort of physical temporary impairment, people do not believe, thus, the genuine esp psychic suffers many great tragedies.

One challenge faced by most esp psychics, is the ability to get others to realize the gift in which these psychics have. There are so many people which will spend money to make an esp psychic out to be a liar. Also there will be people to pay other people to stalk an esp psychic, especially if that particular psychic has the information to bring an entire underground operation down, legally.

One way these so called psychics get their information to portray themselves as a psychic is computer piracy. These people most likely are working in a managerial position which can get access to any employees personal numbers. Another known fact are people that work in public schools or any public office which holds personal numbers that are directly linked to an individual and that individuals family.

In a personal opinion, those impostors which are in disguise need to be locked up in a jail cell for the remainder of their lives for messing up others lives. This way while the alleged psychic is nothing but a mere snoop, the rest of the jail population can realize how bad of a conspiracy can root from such unlawful deeds.

Treason is when a person once fought for one country and suddenly joins the opposing country when the war starts. Like treason, these impostor esp psychic's gather a lot of personal information from business prospects, via spy ware, private investigators, really there are no limits for the amount of ways one person can gain personal information on others. Then when the person attempts to talk with a psychic that accepts money for a few vague pieces of information, the person becomes a follower of an evil doer.

Since it is not actually a disease, but a mere description of the disease, when dealing with esp psychic abilities, there are not physical diseases. However, these continuous thoughts which will not stop until that person planted the visions through some sort of psychic conduit is shut off completely.

In conclusion, if a person feels they are equipped with the esp psychic senses, then by all means learn how to make these senses second nature. There will be the greatest amount of self-help when a person learns to make these senses a way of life. There will be less needy people in the world, and outside influences will diminish greatly, allowing a person to set sail and continue to sail freely through this life.

Millennium Predictions And Prophesies

By Owen Jones

A lot of people predicted that the start of the new Millennium, the year 2000 would be the date of the end of the world. However, fortunately, they were very wide of the mark.

What is it that makes people to attempt to predict calamities? Is it because they are trying to warn people or because they want to frighten people? Frighten people, I think and thereby gain advantage over the gullible.

These apocalyptic prophesies go back thousands of years and even appear in the Bible. Their only raison d'etre is to frighten people and so gain money, power and influence over them.

Even the millennium bug turned out not to be a problem with computers working perfectly well after midnight in spite of claims by 'computer experts' that there would be a worldwide crash of astounding significance. The computer industry made a fortune out of frightening businesses and individuals with their lies. That was the scam of the Nineties to end all swindles!

So why all the hype? Was it simply the arrival of a new millennium, which gave rise to so many to make prophesies on this date rather than stick to their usual common sense? Yes, I think. People saw the chance of a lifetime to rip others off and they jumped at it.

Needless to say there were thousands of prophesies made ranging from the arrival of aliens and the Second Coming of Christ to plane crashes. None of which came true. Here are a couple of those less than accurate prophesies:

May 5th was the day upon which all the planets lined up. The prediction was that the gravitational force of all these heavenly bodies in alignment would cause massive earthquakes, huge tides and volcanic eruptions.

A lot of individuals also prophesied that the shifting of the poles would occur during 2000 and that this would cause disastrous events such as high tides, widespread electrical failure and computer failures, which would mean economic failure for the larger countries and insurance companies.

I do not know what you think, but perhaps instead of worrying about the demise of the world (most doom-mongers have decided on the year 2012 for the destruction of the world) we should work together to make the best of the time we have left on this planet, as well as ensuring that we pass the planet on to the next generation in the same condition as we received it.

If we act in this way, we may hold off the day of reckoning for a long while yet. We are far more likely to undergo apocalypse through nuclear war, global warming and events which are avoidable and within our control, than cosmic events which we have little control over such as asteroids or the Sun's developing into a red dwarf and ultimately exploding.

Although the law of attraction is almost 100 years old, still the principle continues to bring a positive outlook to anyone who believes and understands the law. The concept is mainly based on the reality that what we believe greatly influences the way we live our lives.

We always desire something good for our own benefit and this where the law of attraction begins. What you desire will come to you if you pair with your thoughts and actions. If you wish to have good life and imply positive thinking and hard work, nothing is impossible. All we need is to believe with our dreams and act on it.

Ever wonder why some people are endowed with luck and some are working hard to reverse their bad fortune? Well, there is some truth to what we call good luck and law of attraction. Then, you need to understand the principle and how to attract positive energy to make it stronger.

If you want to have some inspiration, try to settle yourself as if you're living days of your life with all your wishes turn into achievements. Savor and embrace the emotions and try to get hold of it everyday so you will get inspired to continue being optimistic in all your ways.

Get hold of that emotion and try to embrace it every time you're having a hard time gathering positive thoughts. Always attract positive energy for it will bring goodness in your life.

It only suggests that positive thinking enable people to deal with problems and inconsistencies of life in a positive way.

Focus everything on yourself. Law of attraction is simply making you as an individual the center of everything. What you attract is the result of what you think and what you desire in your life. Get rid of negative thoughts since it will just ruin everything. Imagine yourself as a magnet and let your mind flow. If you let your mind and heart seek for negative thoughts then it will come naturally.

It's hard to have a positive outlook and imply the law of attraction if you can't find any reason to love yourself. It's very easy to see the goodness of everything if you have love in your heart. If you find it hard then try to go to places where you can find happiness and peace of mind. Never settle for ideas that will make you frown and think of negative thoughts. If you do it correctly, never miss to thank yourself for a job well done.

Be grateful with everything especially how the law of attraction influences your life. Be thankful not just because you experience prosperous rather you enjoyed a life filled with positive energy and love.
