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?

Spiritual Life Coaching - The Physics of Consciousness

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


Quantum mechanics asserts that nothing really happens in the physical world unless a conscious mind observes it. In other words, consciousness must perceive what it creates in order for that creation to exist. This assertion can be corroborated in the dream world. When we dream, we create our dream and perceive our dream so seamlessly that we are unaware that we, are in fact, the dreamer.

Physicist Fred Wolf believes that the holographic principle of string theory explains the phenomena of lucid dreaming -- where the dreamer awakens to the truth that he or she is dreaming and then continues to dream along. Wolf proposes that these dreams are indeed visits to parallel realities. He also believes that the holographic model will eventually lead to the development of a "physics of consciousness" that will initiate the exploration of other dimensions.

So what is consciousness anyway? Conventional scientists tell us that it is nothing more than electrical signals bouncing around in our brains. But new evidence suggests there there exists a global mind. In the Global Consciousness Project, random number generators placed around the world have tracked the minds of millions of individuals for the last 35 years.

The network of random number generators is designed to record and display any subtle, but direct effects of our collective consciousness reacting to global events. When uncommonly large numbers of people share an emotional experience, the random number generators consistently display more ordered, less random variations. The recording of these number anomalies are mathematically beyond chance.

The funeral ceremonies for Princess Diana and the international Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, generated shared emotions and a consciousness coherence that resulted in an anomaly in what would otherwise be random data. On 9.11.01, the random number generators eerily recorded non-random, ordered numbers beginning at 4:00 a.m. EST and peaking at the time that the second plane collided into the Twin Towers. What was interesting is that the anomaly began five hours prior to the first airplane collision. It was as if the Global Mind somehow sensed that something very terrible was looming on the horizon. It was as if the Global Mind somehow sensed that something very terrible was looming on the horizon. Clearly this proves that human consciousness does not just react to major events but it is an inextricable part of it.

I agree with Fred Wolf in that we will soon be giving birth to a physics of consciousness. Science and spirituality are simply two sides of the same coin. Science, psychology, biology, philosophy, art, and spirituality each have a common Source. The ancients were well aware of this esoteric truth.

Conversation Guidelines On Your First Date

By Fred Gillman


Some conversation topics are suitable for first dates, but others could potentially destroy an otherwise fantastic evening. It is important to know what subjects are approachable and what subjects should be handled with care; if you want to have the opportunity to pursue a meaningful relationship with this person, you don't want to mess up your first date by saying something you shouldn't have. Here are three topics that you should be very careful when dealing with.

Try not to talk too much about yourself. It is the first date! Try to find out more about the other person. You will look arrogant and unattractive if you go on and on about yourself. Few things are worse than giving off the impression that you are pompous and cocky on a first date.

But if your date asks you a question about yourself, don't avoid it! It can make you seem guarded and make you look like you have something to hide, which isn't a good thing. Be open and answer all questions with honesty. Then, in turn, respond with a question of your own. This helps keep the conversation going.

Topic number two: politics. Never talk politics on first date. As a matter of fact, politics should usually be avoided until later, once you've decided that you want to get serious with someone.

If you find yourself on the subject and is going well, use your own judgment and discuss it to the point that you are comfortable. But, most likely, the topic will go badly. In such a situation, try to change the subject as smoothly as possible.

At the slightest sign of an unpleasant reaction or response from your date, change the subject immediately.

Religion is a pretty sensitive subject as well, one that really doesn't belong in first date conversation.

Unless you are both devout Christians or Muslims or some other religion and you know that you share the same opinion, quarantine the subject. Such heavy topics really shouldn't be discussed on first dates anyway.

Most often, if you find out that you have different religious views, things will get awkward and the date may even end early. Get to know each other a little bit better first and don't put so much pressure on things during the first date.

Spiritual Life Coaching - The Holistic Frequency Realm

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


Let's say you take a full body holographic photo of yourself. You then take the holographic photo of yourself and crop it down to a smaller size so that it shows only your face. If you then enlarge that portion of the photo to the original size, you will not get a large photo of your face, but the original photo of your fully body. In a hologram, each individual part of the whole contains the whole in condensed form. The part is in the whole and the whole is in the part. This describes the phenomenon of string theory known as the holographic principle.

A common analogy used in metaphysics compares the Source to an infinite ocean and the Soul to a drop in the ocean. The Soul is in the Source and the Source is in the Soul. The ancient shamans were well aware of this nondual reality thousands of years before the first theories of quantum mechanics.

The holographic principle essentially states that the 2D reality (the source) of holographic film stores everything that we can see, hear, taste, feel, and touch in this 3D reality that we call the universe. I like to call think of the 2D source reality as a cosmic hard drive from which the 3D reality is projected. Consciousness is the Source and the world form is simply the construct for which consciousness is able to interact.

Altered state experiences such as an OBE (out of body experience) or NDE (near death experience), kundalini awakening, as well as psychic phenomena and supernatural abilities can all be explained as brief encounters into this mystifying, deeper realm of reality that transcends spacetime boundaries. Philosopher, Ken Wilber, refers to it as a "holistic frequency realm." No doubt, this plane of higher frequencies has been the visiting place for the world's great sages and shamans throughout the ages.

The renown quantum physicist, David Bohm says that unless we understand that both the explicate orders (3D reality) and implicate orders (2D or source reality) are one and the same, then the primary and unifying "physical laws cannot be discovered by a science that attempts to break the world into its parts." All the mystical or unknown phenomena that many scientists ridicule must be considered to be -- at the very least -- a possible glimpse of this hidden, spiritual dimension.

Our current understanding of separation begins to dissolve when we contemplate the significance of the holographic principle. All of our conflicts, disputes, and wars seem like insanity. The true reality is oneness. It is from whence we have all come and are all destined to return.

Spiritual Life Coaching - The Deeper Realm of Unity Consciousness

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


According to the holographic principle in string theory, there lies a deeper, more significant order of existence from whence all objects of form are projected. This source of form can also be described as a 2D reality where the laws of space and time do not apply. The philosopher Ken Wilber calls it "the holistic frequency realm."

The quantum physicist, David Bohm theorized that tangible reality is not the real world. As it was said in the movie, "The Matrix," this 3D reality is the world that has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. It is a holographic construct. Bohm proposed that this "2D reality" is the imprint or "holographic film" for the 3D, holographic universe that we call home. Bohm called this deeper reality the enfolded or implicate order and referred to our 3D existence as the unfolded or explicate order.

One of the founders of transpersonal psychology, Stanislov Grof, contemplates that if the implicate and explicate orders are accurate descriptions of our true reality, then "it would be possible to modify phenomena in the phenomenal world by influencing their generative matrix." In other words, if we could access the source imprint (2D reality), then we could remake the matrix (3D reality) as we see fit.

The neuroscientist, Karl Pribram, discovered that when the brain fires off neurons, it creates an interference pattern in the same way that a laser creates an image when it bounces off an object to be photographed. He concluded from this that the brain acts similarly to that of a hologram because a hologram is only visible because of the interference pattern created by the laser. To the naked eye, the hologram is only a film, a 2D object. However, when a laser is projected through the film, the 3D holographic image becomes clear. In other words, without the neurons -- acting as laser-like" interpreters -- we wouldn't be able to decipher our universe. It would simply appear as a flat film with no depth, height, space, or time.

According to Karl Pribram, the brain is a hologram that perceives, participates, and interprets a 2D reality into a 3D reality that we call the universe. In the realm of spacetime, things and events are indeed separate, but beneath this realm lies a dimension of unified frequency or vibration. In this frequency realm, everything is timeless, spaceless, undivided, and One. In the field of metaphysics, this is known as Cosmic Consciousness.

10 Ways To Work For A Happier Life

By Dexin Kramer


1. You might not realize it but you're very blessed. Today go and make a list of all the things that you have. If you have shelter, enough food to last for the day, and decent clothes, then you're already more prosperous than millions of people on this planet. Also, don't just write material possessions, but think also about the relationships you have, and the good experiences that you can remember.

2. Enjoy good art and music. Take a trip to the local museum, try to appreciate the culture and history of your local place. Today we are bombarded with cheap and pop media, and it's rare to savor great minds and ideas. Pick up classic books by Dickens or Dostoevsky. Listen to Bach or Mozart. Look at the paintings by Rembrandt.

3. Enjoy nature! When was the last time you went out for a nature trip? Go hiking on a mountain trail, or camping in a forest, or just lie down underneath the stars. Get away from the distractions of city living. See the magnificent beauty of the world.

4. Take a break every week. You might be a workaholic, and you want to be productive, but you're not superman you know. One principle that keeps your mind and body healthy is to just take a break on one day of the week. Recharge your juices, make it a point not to work at all during this day.

5. Be wise in your dealings with money. Greed will destroy you. Instead, think of money as a tool to love other people. Provide for your family well, and give gifts to your friends. But apart from that, it's useless to work for simply more money. You won't find your happiness in money, but you'll find it in relationships.

6. Good food has always served to enhance relationships and friendships. Why not treat your friends out to a restaurant for no reason at all except to share good laughs? Try something you haven't tasted before, like Indian or Nepali food. Spicy!

7. Don't neglect to spend time with your friends, and show your appreciation to them. Try to build long and substantial friendships, rather than lots of shallow relationships. It's better to have a few good people who will stick with you in thick and thin than be popular.

8. Invest in relationships inside your family. You only have one family, and you're stuck with them your entire life. Better to make those relationships as rich as you can make it. Respect your parents. Love your siblings. And if you have children, don't be frustrated with them but be gentle and tender-hearted.

9. Be loyal to your sweetheart. Work hard in your romantic relationship. Cheating never got anyone happiness but only scars. You'll only regret it in the end. One-time flings only make for regretful old people. But a strong marriage makes for a spectacular ending.

10. Finally but most important of all, do your best to be right with God, your creator. We have only a few short years in this earth. A hundred generations have come and gone, lived and died, and our generation won't be any different. Think about eternity. Read the Sacred Scriptures, like the gospel of John, which talk about the promise of an eternal and most joyful life.

Spiritual Life Coaching - Developing Paranormal Abilities

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


In the past, parapsychological phenomena has been thought to have something to do with electromagnetic fields or various energetic forces. However, the supernatural powers of levitation, telekinesis, teleportation, remote viewing, and telepathy tend to transcend spacetime boundaries and produce problems for those espousing to explain models based on energy.

I believe that the aforementioned supernatural powers could be better explained by the holographic principle as posited by quantum physicist, David Bohm, and neuroscientist, Karl Pribram. For example, in the power of telekinesis, there's no need to speculate how one can move objects that appear to be separate from the self when, on a deeper level, there is no such thing as "separation." Furthermore, how can your consciousness be limited to a specific form in spacetime when in truth, there is no such thing as "spacetime" and there is no such thing as "form." The ultimate truth is that there is nothing but consciousness.

In the "Star Wars" movies, George Lucas introduces us to "the force," which is explained as an energy field that binds the universe together. The force has two movements: firstly, it speaks to us, and secondly, it obeys our commands. It is simultaneously a transmitter and a receiver. When we look at Bohm's explicative and implicative orders, we see that the explication order describes an unfolding or a transmitting of information from a 2D informational imprint, and the implication order describes a folding inwards, or a receiving of the information from us (consciousness) here in the 3D reality of the holographic universe. Both Bohm and Lucas are essentially describing the same ebb and flow of information that comes from its creator and goes to its perceiver.

So if we -- as beings of pure consciousness -- are not limited to a specific space in time, then theoretically we should be able to (at the speed of thought) transport our bodies across the spacetime continuum somewhat effortlessly. Like a baby learning to take its first steps on its own, with practice, the supernatural ability of teleportation seems well within our reach. Dr. Pribram explains paranormal actions in this way: things are really not solid, so when our perception of reality shifts, we will inherit the power to change our reality as we see fit.

So, you may be asking, "Why don't more of us have these supernatural abilities?" Well, I believe the rarity of them in our species is a reflection of our current stage of evolutionary consciousness. The more we begin to believe in our divine powers, the faster we will grow into them. But we have to be careful. As the saying goes, "With great power comes great responsibility." If we had developed these paranormal abilities before now, I think it would have probably gone straight to our heads. The ego would have most likely used these abilities to serve itself. But as we successfully transcend our collective egoic mind, we will instead use our "Jedi" powers to serve humanity at large.

Learn How to Die and You'll Learn How to Live Life to The Fullest

By Brittany E. Weber


Have you ever read the book entitled "Tuesdays with Morrie"? It's a very excellent publication concerning about man and its life. The way we handle each other with regards about finances, love and possibly even death. A beautiful quote from this book is this: "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live... Most of us walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully because we're half asleep; doing things we automatically believe we have to do... Learn how to die, and you learn how to live. - Morrie"

We perceive things in this world as if there is no end to everything. We go to work, eat meal, talk with our colleagues or family and keep doing our everyday normal routine without worrying about death coming its way. And that's why, when a particular catastrophe come trotting in we then commence to blame everyone and at times even God, about all the misfortune that has befallen us.

If you Learn How to Die, You Learn How to Live

We do things routinely, scared that if we ever halt and pause for a break, every little thing might begin slipping into pieces without us knowing it. This society we live in has had us too many wonderful things in life but it also took us further away from what exactly is most important, Love and God.

Love is the greatest gift that one can ever receive. No matter what kind it takes, love of a partner, love of a mother, or love of a comrade, love is always shared. When there is love, there's God. For God's love is the ultimate form of love. That even in death, He has sacrificed His one and only son to save us from our sins.

How to Die In Complete Tranquility

Death is only natural. Death is inevitable. And as they say, the beginning will always have an ending as well as the ending will always have a new beginning. It's up to us whether we take everything within this life for granted. Live life as if tomorrow is going to be your last day. Cherish every little thing, from the tiniest of things to the most memorable and splendid of experiences. Once you learn how to die, then you will learn how to live your life to the fullest. And when the time comes that death unfolds knocking at your doorstep, you will never regret anything in your life. And you will die happy.
