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?

Remote Viewing - How Even A Complete Novice Can Get Started

By Vicki Porter


Have you heard of remote viewing? How do you know whether or not you can do it -- and how do you know whether or not you're doing it properly if you think you are? With remote viewing, you can see places, objects or people with your mind's eye instead of through your usual five senses.

Remote viewing is not the same as astral traveling. With astral traveling, your ethereal body is able to leave your physical body and travel incorporeally to be able to view something. Instead, your mind is doing all the work using the power of your sub-conscious mind.

Can you develop the power yourself and actually learn remote viewing? Absolutely; every person on the planet can do so. Just how successful you are at it depends on how well do you can relax and go into a trance like state, something very similar to what you feel when you are hypnotized.

Experts have long said that we only use about 10% of our mental capacity, with the other 90% untouched because we simply haven't tapped into it and haven't trained it. As one example, if you've spoken several foreign languages from childhood, those neural pathways are firmly established and you think it's absolutely normal to speak those languages. The same is true of other more 'ordinary' skills, such as reading and writing. You're taught these skills when you're young, and they become simply part of your mind's abilities throughout your life.

However, what if you had been taught to access your subconscious mind and its powers from the beginning of your life, as a small child? You may not have this ability developed right now, but you can develop it. It just means you haven't used it, and you need to train your mind to both see and use this ability that has been hidden until now.

Before you start to practice remote viewing, how will you get ready? Relaxation is key, and learning meditation is one great way to teach your mind to get into the state it needs to be in, in order to practice remote viewing. Self hypnosis, too, is another good way to 'practice' the relaxation and trance like state you're going to have to be in to be able to do remote viewing.

In addition to learning relaxation, though, you are also going to have to learn how to remain alert. It's very easy, of course, to fall asleep when you are that relaxed, but don't. Make sure you are well rested and calm, and let your mind stay alert as you fully relax physically.

Before you get into a comfortable, relaxed state and prepare for remote viewing, how will you test your results? You should plan a way to verify whether your viewing was successful or not before you get started.

One of the best ways to choose views that you can 'test' is to choose places you already know. For example, if you know a friend's home well and know what it usually looks like, try to look at it in your mind's eye through remote viewing. Is anything out of place? For example, are there books or papers scattered about that aren't usually there, in the living room? Are dishes or plates set out on the counter in the kitchen?

These are small things, to be sure, but they can tell you clearly whether or not what you're seeing is real. Once you've come out of your relaxed state, call the owner of the house you're trying to see and verify what you've seen.

Once you've practiced remote viewing, getting to that relaxed state will become easier every time you do it. Soon, you'll find that you can get into a relaxed state very easily, and the technique itself will be much easier to practice and become more fluid.

Advice For Couples On A Rough Road

By Andy Meyer


If there is a situation that needs urgency, it is that where a marriage is hanging on fate's mercy waiting to crumble to pieces. This is the worst time to sit and do nothing about the situation. The best advice would be to get a forum where the man and woman can discuss what needs to change if the marriage is to survive. Look for a compromise.

The best time to have the negotiations is when there are no tensions. One should have an open mind when they are dealing with a situation like this. Be honest with each other and respect everyone's viewpoint.

If no agreement has been reached, you can let the discussions go on for a number of days. This will not be a big issue considering you have been together for a number of years.

In case both think that nothing can be salvaged out of your marriage, delve into the past and fish out those positive things that would justify your marriage to stay intact. Focus on the glory days and build on this.

After those have been discussed, you can now come back to the edge of the cliff and touch on the bad things that need to be addressed. Do it tactfully assuring each other that you are not pointing fingers.

One thing to remember is that the whole idea of having this discussion is to find out whether the marriage is worth to be kept. You are not after tagging names of culprits.

It is in this forum that either you will know things about both of you, which you did not know or you just did not think about. At this time, truths about you that you never thought of before will be flung at you. It will convince you more that communication is important.

No matter how bad things look on the ground, you should not give up on the marriage too easily. Keep all the efforts to save the marriage alive and functioning. Keep the communication channels open and discuss ways and means to get the heartbeat of the marriage beating back to normalcy.

Preparing To Meditate

By Owen Jones


There is a great deal of rubbish talked about meditation. I do not mean what it can do for you because that is difficult to prove one way or the other. I have read people saying that they found all sorts of things in meditation and who am I to say that they did not merely because I have not had the precisely same experience.

I believe that there are numerous stages of evolution and so what one person experiences in one way another may experience in a completely different way.

No, I mean that there is a lot of rubbish talked about how one has to meditate. I am reading an piece right now by someone who says: '... for a successful meditation practice, everything has to be perfect ..... the room has to be set up in such a way ...' and so it goes on. The person who wrote that piece seems never to have even thought leave alone ever meditated.

Meditation has always been most frequently carried out by people with a spiritual bent. Of those people, most people who meditated were monks, because they were seeking enlightenment and had the time and tranquility to meditate. It was difficult to find the time or the peacefulness if you were a subsistence farmer with ten kids running around.

Anyway, lower orders of monks are not famous for living opulent lives where 'everything ... is ideal'. They live quiet lives and when they want to meditate, they will not be disturbed, no matter where they are but particularly in their cells.

My father used to drive out to a cliff top and meditate behind a bush gazing out 100 feet over the Bristol Channel. Frequently he did it in the middle of the night.

It is best that the people you live with understand that when you want to meditate that they should endeavor not to make a great deal of noise and certainly not call you by name or barge into the room where you are.

How you can accomplish this in your household, you know better than I, but talking to cohabitants and displaying a sign in a prominent position can help as can always meditating at the same hour of the day, but is not usually practical. Most of us have to take our free time while we can.

Turn off anything that makes a noise. Turn off phones and even the door bell, if you can. Open the window, if it is not unbearably cold or raining cats and dogs. Take a shower and put on loose-fitting comfortable clothes like pyjamas.

Sit on the floor, if you can; cross-legged, if you can. If you are nearly there, try sitting on a cushion or pillow. There are things called zafu or meditation pillows, which are small and thick.

Some are round and others are square, but a round zafu may be 12 inches in diameter and four to six inches thick. This is to raise you off the ground enough to take the strain off your hips and knees, if you are not used to sitting cross-legged.

It will encourage a good posture, that is a straight back. It is also softer on the behind and when you are sitting comfortably, you may begin.

The Power Of Mind Is Everything!

By William J Stevens


All of us remember the United Negro College Fund commercials of the 80s; or at the very least, we remember its slogan: 'the mind is a terrible thing to waste'. While we're talking about something different than going to university today, the slogan is definitely on point here. Our minds have a lot of potential which most of us are letting go unused. The power of the mind is something that none of us should waste and when we know how to tap into these unused resources, we can change our lives and event the world.

You're certainly at least somewhat familiar with The Secret, whether or not you've ever read the book or watched the film, you probably know the basics of the law of attraction which is the central idea of the work. When you think about things, you attract them to you - whether you do so consciously or not.

One prime example of the efficacy of this idea is what is called the placebo effect. This is named for the clinical trials which use placebos for the control group while giving the actual medication to the other. Both groups think they're getting the medication, so both often believe them to be experiencing the effects that have been described to them.

You've no doubt seen the effect in your own life as well. For instance, you've no doubt woken up thinking that a particular day isn't going to be a good one. It shouldn't really be too much of a surprise when these days turn out not to be among your favorites. It has to do with the power of your mind - when you think a day is going to be a bad (or a great one) then your subconscious has the ability to make this happen.

The scientific evidence is starting to point towards the idea that there is a scientific basis for the power of the mind as well. One which is particularly intriguing is that matter exists only when there is an observer there to describe it (or rather, matter may be in one of several possible states until it is observed - or all of them at once). What this means is that human beings may be able to exert much more influence on their surroundings than has been previously thought.

It is thought by some scientists that many of the phenomena we have always thought of as supernatural (such as remote viewing, telepathy and the like) are actually perfectly natural and explainable phenomena, though science may be a few years away from understanding the precise mechanisms behind them.

You may not have really given it any thought until now, but the power of the mind is something which you can put to work to make positive change in your own life. Wouldn't you want to learn how to work with the universe to get what you want using your own thoughts? There are a few techniques which can help you to do just that; keep reading to learn more about these methods.

The first step is to have a goal; this has to be a specific, rather than a general goal. Instead of thinking 'I want to be rich', think 'I want three million dollars'. Having a specific goal makes it easier for you to focus your mental energies on achieving your objective. Learning to focus is the key here; most of the time, you may have dozens of different thoughts going on at once.

Many people already know about the power of the mind and use it every day to make their goals a reality. They are able to decide on a specific goal and put all of their mind power towards this objective - and this is exactly how some of the world's most successful people have managed to become who they are today. It's not difficult to do, though learning to focus your mind on your goal does take a little metal training.

When you learn to control this power of the mind, you can use it to make changes in your world; in fact, you can make almost anything you can imagine a reality. Let's say that you want to buy a particular house. You put all of your mental energy into it, imagining even the small details like the color you want to paint the rec room. You start expending effort into areas that will help you to achieve your goal (like working more so you can save up the down payment) and research how to get favorable mortgage terms.

After you've put your effort towards it, your dream starts coming true - the house goes up for sale, you are able to secure the mortgage, your offer is accepted and everything goes fine. It's all because you've been putting your thoughts and your energy into achieving your goal; this is what makes it happen for you.

Every one of us can do this. It's just a matter of understanding your own inherent abilities and believing in the power of the mind to achieve the things you want out of life. Start with a small goal and you can work from there to accomplish ever greater things.

Mysteries Behind Extra Sensory Power

By Ian Callaghan


As the manning of the phrase indicates extra sensory is a skill to perceive knowledge in uncommon extraordinary style. In other words, gain knowledge in other ways than using five senses described by science. You may remember stills of movie 'Sixth Sense' where the hero talks to spirits and perceive knowledge that no one else can do. It is similar to that concept. Extra sensory powers are subjected to many debates over centuries. How ever, people find it is hot and interesting subject to deal with.

Every person displays or experiences psychic power now and then. These senses we obtain are unlimited. So free your senses and utilize it the most. People believe that these extra senses are obtained from spirits. This of course depends on the spiritual believes of people. Some can be wrong but some people are able to predict the exact future. This scenario led to many researches by the psychologist. Now almost all people believe in this through the experiences of several mankind. Let us see in detail.

There are mostly three types of extra sensory powers around. They are telepathy, psychic skills and clairvoyance. These three skills are same at the bottom level. But when we analyze them in deep, we will realize that they have some highly considerable differences. In some points, they completely differs each other.

Telepathy is one of the most famous extra sensory methods. Using telepathy techniques, you may well read one's mind. Experts can proper analyze information stored in other individual's brain.

Psychic power is another very important extra sensory skill. People who have enormous psychic ability can easily read others mind and reach their spirits to any destination they want. For example, if you want to know incidents occurring five miles away from your dimension, you may send your spirit there and it collects bulk information there and gets you in a blink of time. The skill is subjected to many controversies. Still, agents claim that people who have extra sensory psychic skills had been widely used during Second World War to spy other nation's top secretes.

Gaining psychic skills have multiple benefits. You may attract people around you using your psychic skills. You can guide your friend manifesting their minds with new hopes and give them confidence about their future.

Most interesting and mysterious form of extra sensory is clairvoyance. It is another form of psychic skills. Clairvoyant people can converse to late people's spirits and perceive knowledge about past time and dimension. They can successfully connect that information to future also. Knowledge perception style is even interesting.

Clairvoyant people decode symbols and images gives off from spirits body and decode them to their languages and predict! Thus, this kind of extra sensory becomes most accurate more often.

You can also develop extra sensory skills lying dormant within you. All you need to do is proper and systematic exercises with huge passion. Once you are done, you will be able to collect knowledge in short time in uncommon style. You may reach your ambition and help others to reach their goals and become very successful of their lives.

Understanding Psychic Power

By David Willerby


Do you sometimes have a premonition that something bad will happen which later turns out to be right? Do you sometimes suddenly come to know of how another person is feeling or what he/she is thinking of? If yes, then chances are that you are a psychic, rather than these incidences being just normal coincidences. I once knew of someone who could close her eyes and concentrate for sometime to see her mother working in the kitchen from a thousand miles away, and its just not her, there are many such people in the world who have such psychic powers.

The special ability to see, hear, feel or know about things which are otherwise hidden from the five sense organs is what is known as a psychic power. Psychic powers help a person in knowing about things which another ordinary person cannot perceive. Generally something which is born with, psychic powers can also develop at a later date due to a near death experience of a person. Such near death experiences open up faculties or other senses not experienced by the person before.

Various types of psychic powers exist in the world. The most common being those of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. While telepathy involves perceiving and knowing the thoughts of another person, clairvoyance refers to seeing things which are far away or are otherwise not available to you or anybody else. Precognition on the other hand is the psychic power of predicting future events.

If you are a person who can tune in to another person's mind and their thoughts and understand how they are feeling, then you have the psychic power of telepathy. If you have very well developed telepathic powers then you might also inject or infuse your own thoughts into the other person's mind.

If you have the special ability to see things which are hidden or are occurring at a distance then you have the psychic power of clairvoyance. A clairvoyant person is capable of remote viewing of things, events or persons which are thousands of miles away. In contrast to remote viewing, if a person can hear or know about things which are otherwise hidden, the psychic powers are termed clairaudience and clairsentience respectively.

Precognition on the other hand refers to the psychic power to foresee future events and predicting the same. Since human beings have an innate desire to know about his/her future, this psychic power is the most popular and psychics possessing this are in great demand.

The existence of other psychic powers though less common than the three mentioned above, can be seen throughout the world. These include channeling, your ability to establish contact and communicate with spirits or outside intelligence; astral projection, your ability to leave your own body and travel in spirit to another place; aura reading, your ability to read or perceive the energy fields of another person; levitation, your ability to ascend to a level off the ground or psychokinesis, your ability to move things with the power of your thoughts.

Lastly, in the aftermath of this discussion it must be concluded that whatever psychic power one possesses should always be though of as a special gift and developed and improved upon responsibly to help fellow human beings.
