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?

Astral Projection Stories: The Four Similarities

By Joseph Jeleen


Its important to realize that there are literally thousands of of reports of astral projection. They are all different however when I was trying to learn the truth of astral projection I read about them... a lot. When you read enough of the reports you notice a definite pattern. Every astral projection report I have read fits into 4 groups (often more the one).

I. Flight. A very common element in reports of astral projection is a feeling of weightlessness. Where somebody is so light that they are actually lighter then air and begin floating. As they continue to float they quickly are able to control where they float to until they achieve actual flight.

II. Seeing Yourself. It is also very very common in stories of astral projection to watch their mundane bodies while in their astral ones. As astral projection commences most commonly while in a restful state or even while sleeping people mostly see themselves lying down and sleeping. However there are also many stories of people watching their waking bodies doing things while they themselves were not in them. The most famous if of a man who was playing the piano at a concert and didn't even know what his body was going to do next with the song it was playing. Other examples include near death experiences especially while on in a military battle.

III. Observer. Though many reports of astral projection include the previous 2 elements every astral projection story that happened in the physical plane have the same similarity that the person is unable to affect anything it touches. Exceptions have been known when the subject tries to do something very small like turning the page of a book or moving a pencil an inch. But for all intents and purposes they are incapable of changing their environment. This is of course because you don't have your body. There are however upsides to this (other then just being able to walk through walls) one interesting upside is people who were blind in their mundane body can see in their astral one.

IV. Meeting with the dead. Though rare its been known for people to meet people loved ones who have passed on. This is one of the reasons why many people want to astral project. However I should warn you that it is very rare for people to be able to meet with there long lost loved ones.

Astral projection is not something to be feared. It is a completely safe and incredible experience. Something that really shouldn't be passed up no one who has ever consciously astral projected has ever regretted it or said it was anything less then incredible.

How To Deal With Death Living a Life Of Freedom

By Burton Rager


Nobody finds it easy to continue on after the death of a close friend, sister, brother, parent, spouse or child. Each brings its own hurt and agony and difficulty in learning how to deal with death. The power of the loss will change incredibly. My feelings after the loss of a best friend were quite different from the loss of my elders and those losses were noticeably different than the death of my wife.

I was with my number one friend just a couple of hours before he died. I can recollect him pulling at the sheets and being really agitated. I sat beside him and held him for a considerable time while trying to provide comfort to my close friend and companionship to his spouse. It was troublesome for her to witness her man fighting and to understand the end was near.

Sitting and staying with my mother in the hospital during her last 5 days and nights was quite a different experience. I recall looking at her numerous times to determine if she was still breathing. She was ready to go home to heaven; and that helped everyone who adored her. However, watching your mother struggle to breathe during her last hours is rarely easy.

My pop, a fabulous 86 year old man who had lived a full life, died 6 years after with lung complications. He was also quite ready to go to Heaven. He had missed my mom extraordinarily over those last 6 years. I wished I had known then what I know today. We furnished him a good life but I failed to realize the hurt he was going thru. The night he died, I was alone with him for the last four hours of his life. I held him in my arms during those last hours, just he and I. I was able to say to him what an awesome pop he'd been and how much I loved him. What a privilege to get to hold him and to hear the death rattle. It became so sweet because I knew where he was headed, to see his Jesus and to see the old lady.

I grew through these experiences yet, they did not prepare me for the biggest loss of my life. My prior better half of TWENTY-SEVEN years was identified with stage 4 cancer. Ten weeks later she also went home, just like my friend, my mom and my pop. This experience, not like the others, rocked me to my core. It's a story all its own. Some moments I could grin, but at times the grief was all consuming. I would feel trapped in a box; respiring, merely surviving was all I could manage. It was as if I could only take one step at a time. It was in this experience that God started to mold, form, and change me beyond anything I may have imagined. He was preparing me to accomplish His work thru my life.

I encourage you to use our complimentary gift, "God's Answer?" It will demonstrate to you a power to not only live life, but also a power to change your life, beyond your wildest imagination.

Raise your spiritualism with others with an online spiritual community

By Luis de Jesus


Numerous groups have begun to explore the benefits of being a contributing part of a spiritual online community. Among the benefits are open arenas to share spiritual views, a community with a wide variety of origins, and a place to amplify one's own spiritualism.

Spirit and Word (spiritandword.org) is one such resource that promotes pertinent and constructive discussions of spiritualism. Its organization and structure allows for the spiritual growth of all of its members.

As far as spiritual websites go, Spirit and Word makes an outward attempt to permit all dispositions and attitudes regarding topics of spirituality. Some sites lack the reach that Spirit and Word has, and as a result their content is greatly limited. The point of a spiritual website, in the author's belief, is to expose members to new ideals, that otherwise, they would not have found. With a limited focus, other spiritual websites are greatly limiting the demographic of their audience, and do not host a whole range spiritual discussion.

Spirit and Word allows members to interact in a variety of ways, and this makes being a participant an attractive experience. The spiritual online community is kept going by blogs, videos, polls, photos, and videos which are all posted by returning users and are visible to guests of the website. The point is to have an open environment, in which all ideas are pertinent and no one is felt left out. This makes for the healthy spiritual development for all members of Spirit and Word.

The website is also visited regularly by spiritual guides, who partake in order to drive discussions in a positive manner. Their input works to increase the original thought, and help other members sift through the substance so that they, in turn, can modify their own construct of spirituality. Spirit and Word is extremely beneficial to its members for this reason. If spiritualism is something that you are searching for, then look through a proportion of Spirit and Word is a extraordinary place to begin your journey.

Astrology From A Personal Point of view

By Ricky Hindricks


In my experience I discover astrology to be a cross in between an art and science that originated in ancient civilizations from which precise mathematical correlations were produced to measure the movements of celestial bodies inside sky and the movements of us individuals on earth. In an additional sense it truly is viewed as being a type of divination that uses the luminaries plus the planets in a chart that we know as the Zodiac. The luminaries or Sun and Moon and also the planets are plotted out on the chart according to the date and time of our births.

An Astrology chart in Western astrology, that is certainly most familiar to Americans, is based on a 360-degree circle with twelve 30-degree equal portions referred to as the Zodiac Houses. Each portion with the Zodiac, that is certainly ruled by a single with the luminaries or planets and Zodiac Signs represents a a number of aspect of your life and personality. Based on one's date of birth, one's Sun sign is determined.

The Sun sign is found by correlating the date of one's birth towards the correlating sign that rules that specific date. The Sun sign is often a very general more than view of an astrological chart/reading. A single can discover their sun sign in any newspaper, magazine or on line. To be able to get a far more in depth astrological reading you should also know the time of one's birth.

Once you know the time of your birth you may then discover your rising or ascending sign and your moon sign. Following to one's sun sign the rising and moon signs are one of the most important. Your sun sign represents how you show yourself to the world, your moon sign is about your inner feelings and your rising or ascending sign is how the world perceives your and your self-image.

In conclusion I would say to have an accurate astrology reading you need to know both the date and time of your birth. Depending on a time of one's birth can determine wherever the other planets fall from the 12 Zodiac houses within your chart. This really is what gives the chart aspects or extra incites into your life and personality.

Some aspects are strong and some are week depending on what the world is and in what residence it lays. In addition, each sign has 1 of 4 elements, Fire, Earth, Air or Water that every sign is also associated with. The issues give us our personality traits. With these items in mind it is mentioned that to be able to get a good astrology reading all these components have to be included in a chart to have a complete picture of a individual and their life.

Capricorns tend to be difficult working people using a super-sense of practicality that creates them hardy and ambitious.

Christian Marriage: God's Ways Are Higher

By John Beastley


So what is a Christian Marriage? "We are generally confessed Christians which have chose to enter married life." Is there significantly more to successfully clearly define matrimony? This entire blog is going to be specialized in the indisputable fact that Christian marriage is certainly really different. It is extremely important to learn to read God's Word that we might better see the foundation of holy matrimony as He created it. I am convinced that one explanation for why we have become hit a brick wall in marriage happens because many of us lack God's vision regarding it.

Let's take a look at Ephesians 2:21-32 in figuring out the main question mentioned above. Ephesians 5:21-32 (Today's New International Version) Directions designed for Christian Homes 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, people have never hated their own bodies, but they feed and care for them, just as Christ does the church- 30 for we are members of his body. 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." 32 This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church.

To find a far more in-depth description of this particular verse, I would suggest viewing Bob Deffinbaugh's study tips. This specific passage reveals a basic commandment towards the Christian Marriage: Wives: Submit to your own husband. Husbands: Love your wives just like Christ loved the church.

I find it significant that God put no conditions on the commandment for the two of us. It is important to remember that we are going to each be held responsible for each of our own ways. Not to be able to excuse the women by any means, but I do think at least one reason several ladies have an issue with submission stems from the possibility that a number of us men do not really love as Christ.

None among us will always be successful at satisfying this Christian Marriage obligation, however it must be a target we try to achieve every day. It is regarded as one of many major distinguishing aspects from a "worldly marriage". Challenge: Verbally convey to your spouse that you want to spend the upcoming full week paying much closer focus on achieving your own God-given obligation. Keep a log of essential experiences intended for discussion at the conclusion of the week.
