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 Bible Timeline And Instructing Scripture

By Neil Baulch

Many people who study the bible can have a hard time getting a handle on the bible timeline. For this reason, an understandable explanation of the bible and the times that events took place was created. If you want to learn the bible and the subsequent time frame of events that took place in history, you need to get this great download.

Anyone who has ever read the Bible knows that for the most part, you are not given actual dates of happenings. You more or less have to figure them out based on the era that they are referring to in the stories. This can get confusing if you are not learned in the complete Bible.

This tool solves a lot of that confusion and puts everything in a much better perspective. Anyone teaching the Bible would be well served to use this tool with the children to make learning the actual timeline of events more comprehensive. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

When you are looking for ease of use, the Bible Timeline is exactly that. Downloading only takes a few minutes and from there, it is pure enjoyment for the entire family. Instead of leafing through page after page of notes trying to get your scripture timeline down, it will all be right there for you to see on the computer.

Something else to consider is that not only can you have everything on your computer for ease of use, but the entire timeline can be printed out in various sizes of paper. It would be very easy to make a simple study guide out of it or if you are a teacher, perhaps a runner for around the perimeter of the classroom.

No longer do you have to listen to a hundred experts give a hundred different answers to the information in the bible. This bible timeline is going to put into perspective the bible and the events that took place. You can then teach these to your children or church.

It's Not Where You're From, It's Where You're Going.

By Jay Kubassek

It has been a few weeks since I have written one of these. With the holidays and the year beginning to wind down, I felt the timeliness of this message could not be better.

Oh the Holidays... The crisp snap of the winter breeze, lights emerging from every corner imaginable; illuminating the evening skies like the sun just squeezed itself through the screen door. It's a time for celebration, a time for reflection. For smiles, and long overdue embraces that have sat on shelves collecting the dust of neglect.

For too many people the world over, this holiday brings with it a new anticipation. The close of the year is upon us, the months passed have been marked with a collective anxiety of what is to come. Will it get better? Has the worst of it passed? What will I do next year?

Entrepreneurs are not immune to these same moments of uncertainty, however when one has the reigns in their hands the navigation of these troublesome times is infinitely easier.

This Holiday season holds a special anticipation for me personally. The birth of my second child is imminent (and I mean imminent, the bag is packed by the door). I know many of you reading this are parents as well. You know all too well the worry and the hope. The desire for everything to be better for them, than it was for you. It's why we put in the hours, sacrifice daily, sleep less, desire more.

As I think of all the things I must teach my baby girl in the coming years; reading, potty training, table manners and the like, it has occurred to me that what I want her to know most of all is that it matters not where you're from or where you are, it's where you are going. (I've also gotten some great advice from experienced family man and my business partner, Aaron Parkinson.)

We are all someone's children. We all have a hometown, a first kiss, a first disappointment, a first job. But the reality is these things, while important in the shape of our being, have no bearing on where our lives may take us. What we desire in life, what we desire for our children, lies ahead and not behind us.

As we come into this new year, let's embrace the promise of infinite possibility. Forget whatever hurdle or misstep may have plagued you this past year and focus on where you want to be.

After all, it doesn't matter where you're from, it's about where you're going.

About Frequent Headaches

By Rose Williams

A great many of us live with headaches that afflict us for seemingly no reason. Some of these headache types occur once and then we may live for several years before we get them again. Other types of headaches seem to occur very often in our lives. These latter headaches are known as frequent headaches.

Usually, frequent headaches seem to be tension headaches. However, frequent headaches can also be the result of over-dosing on over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This type of frequent headache is called a 'rebound headache', because, while it is safe to take the recommended dosage to treat headaches, rebound headaches happen because the dose has been exceeded.

So, one of the ways to alleviate the pain that frequent headaches bring is to methodically reduce the amount of method that you are taking. For people who may find this step hard, talking with their GP can help find the best method to achieve this without making their headaches or other condition worse.

Besides overdosing on headache medication, there are also other factors that can bring the onset of frequent headaches. These can be excessive amounts of smoking and drinking lots of alcohol beverages. Reducing your alcohol intake to a moderate level can help with reducing the severity of your frequent headaches.

As smoking any form of tobacco will increase your risk of experiencing frequent headaches, it is definitely advisable to stop smoking completely. While it might seem to be easy to control these frequent headache triggers, you may actually need professional assistance to reduce the occurrence of frequent headaches.

Therefore, when you talk with your doctor you should find out about headache clinics and if they have the facilities to help you with your rebound and/or frequent headaches. People who would like to cope with controlling their headache medicine themselves can start by reducing the dosage little by little.

Afterwards, when your body can deal with that reduction, you can lower the dosage a bit more. Should you feel that the headaches are becoming too severe, you have the choice of taking a little cortisone to help tolerate the pain of the headaches while your body slowly gets used to to the new regimen.

Because frequent headaches seem to be caused more by the misuse of headache tablets, it would be a good idea for you to take the medication only when you really need to. This way you can control your dose of the medicine that causes you get other headaches in addition to what you originally started the pain medication for.

MC Means Motorcycle Club

By L.J. James

Think about the words Motorcycle Club! Why is it that when those words are heard together many think Crime or Criminal Organization? Say you are having an event and you are looking for a place to have it. You can have a book club and everyone will welcome you in! A cooking club and everyone really loves you. You say Motorcycle Club and right away its, Sorry we are busy on that day!

Motorcycle Clubs are even turned away from bars where they want to have events by Independent Bikers, Why is that? We need to let the world know that Bikers independent or in a Motorcycle Club can be good people! We can not show people that Motorcycle Club Members are not all bad if we are not allowed in a Bar because we are wearing Colors, Its the same thing if you are an independent biker and some one will not let you in some sports bar because you are wearing a leather jacket! I hope when an independent Biker who has turned away Motorcycle Clubs from his bar and is then turned away from a bar he wants to go in Understands the irony!

Some Motorcycle Clubs have even gone so far as to changed their name, they call themselves Riding Clubs, Motorcycle associations or some other type of group so they can leave out the words Motorcycle Club! and try to avoid the problems that come with being part of a Motorcycle Club! They say they are different from a Motorcycle Club ! They look and dress and act just like a motorcycle Club but they just call themselves something different! I say a rose by any other name !!!

These Clubs are just trying to get around all the prejudice associated with the words Motorcycle Club ! They are not part of the solution but are part of the problem! This is America and You can call your Club what ever you want, But the thing that unites you and your Club is the same thing that unites all who Ride! It is the Motorcycle! How can anyone leave out the word Motorcycle? It is the heart of what you are!

If You are a Motorcycle Club be proud of it and don't try to get around any problems by playing word games and calling yourself something else by using different words!!! This is just my opinion I would like to know what others think, Please email me at AmericanBikerX@Yahoo.com

Learning To Become A Clairvoyant Online

By Deborah Reed

Did you know that many people who want to become a clairvoyant are starting to study online? They're using the internet to learn how to develop their paranormal skills! And many are discovering how to enhance their basic clairvoyant abilities.

Clairvoyance is sometimes described as a sixth sense that everyone has deep inside their mind. Most people, however, are totally unaware of it. Others will see little glimpses of it from time to time when they have a dream, a premonition, or a moment of dj vu. For a small minority, clairvoyant gifts are strong and just waiting to be developed. Anyone who is interested in discovering and developing their clairvoyant abilities to a higher level can learn more about techniques they can practice at clairvoyant sites online.

Clairvoyance has been part and parcel of mankind's history since the dawn of the earliest civilizations. Sometimes revered, often feared, clairvoyants have played a pivotal role in helping to shape the lives of many great people. But for what was once considered to be something like a secret cult, the secrets of clairvoyance are now available on the internet. Those wishing to discover more about this, and those who harbor a desire to get actively involved in this realm of the paranormal, becoming a clairvoyant online is now a real option for the first time.

People who are attuned to their clairvoyance almost seem to have a sixth sense. They can often discern things about the future, the past, or something happening somewhere very distant from where they are with remarkable accuracy. All of this discernment comes through their mind and no other communication or technology. Some discover this ability when they encounter a fearful, dangerous, or even near death experience. But now anyone can practice techniques to help discover and nurture this talent via the clairvoyant online sites.

In the universe, all things are connected-the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and even the molecules and atoms that make up every part of every thing. Clairvoyance helps you tap into this universal source of all things in an almost spiritual way. Everything is already there and all around you all the time, but in order to perceive it, you need to disconnect yourself from the material world.

You must achieve a sense of calm and empty your mind so the communication may be received. Many clairvoyants or people who want to discover their clairvoyant powers use yoga and meditation to prepare them. The clairvoyant sites online teach specific techniques for helping to prepare the mind and clear your thoughts to be receptive.

The first step along the path to becoming at true clairvoyant is a total acceptance of the world of the paranormal and in particular clairvoyance. It is almost means returning to that mental innocence that we first had when we were little children; a time before skepticism, sarcasm and irony were bred into us. If we can learn to accept the realism, the existence of the paranormal, we will have lain the foundation stone on which to build our clairvoyant talent.

When you believe, you will be able to achieve the meditative state required to open your mind to the possibilities of clairvoyance. You will focus on achieving this sense of calm and well being, free from all negativity. And then you are in a place where the universe can communicate with you-through sounds, feelings, words, thoughts, or images.

The next thing that a clairvoyant online site can explain and help with, is how to recognize and interpret any messages that you will receive. Until you begin to adjust and fine-tune your clairvoyant power, the messages may seem fragmented and even unimportant, although in reality, anything that is of the universal truth is important somehow. It just may be that it is difficult at first to understand where and how it fits in.

So these sites help you learn what the signs you receive mean and how to interpret them. The first thing these sites will teach you, however, is critical-and that is this: You must never try to force the process or the result. As soon as you consciously begin to try to direct or control the situation, you will lose all touch with the universal truth and power you seek to embrace.

If you are a complete novice, the process will start gently. You may for example just see a color, feel some sort of external emotion, or even hear something. You may of course see a whole event happening in front of you, but only if your mind is totally clear and uncontaminated will you know it is true clairvoyance. But once known and experienced, you will know it forever.

Remote Viewing. What Is Really Going On?

By Hugo Preis

Have you ever thought about having the ability to see things, people, even places that are not within the range of your five senses? The thing to remember is that we have more than just five senses and it is entirely possible to reach out with your own innate psychic ability and to make observations that are otherwise impossible!

Remember that remote viewing is not the same as an out of body experience. With an out of body experience, which is also called astral travel, you travel in a spirit form to see things or places far from you.

On the other hand, with remote viewing, you are looking at a form of psychic dowsing, where you can use your innate psychic power to find out what you need. Essentially, you will be using ESP to find out what you need.

When we are young, the psychic ability comes much more naturally, but it is still something that we can pick up as we get older. Consider the fact that we only use ten percent of our brain; it might be a good time to put the other ninety percent to good use! When you train yourself, you will be able to do just that.

For instance, think of how comforted you would be to check in on your kids when they are away. This kind of security and peace of mind is just one of the benefits that you can get when you are looking at remote viewing

When you are thinking about learning psychic abilities like this one, you will find that it takes no natural talent. As soon as you are taught to enter the trance-like state where the remote viewing takes place, you will be able to use it to your heart's content, no matter what kind of talent you might have.

There are some simple techniques that you can try.

*First, sit yourself down in a quiet comfortable place and close your eyes. Get rid of as many distractions as you can.

*Start by breathing slowly and deeply through your nose and see what you can do about making sure that your tongue is pressed to the roof of your mouth. This can keep you from yawning while you do this!

*You need to believe in your own ability to succeed. Remember that as you put yourself deeper into your relaxed state that you need to tell yourself that you are capable o seeing things that you are not physically seeing.

*As you get started, start by thinking of a very simple target. One good exercise to get you started is to think about viewing your relaxing body from the side or from straight ahead. Construct the image of yourself slowly and carefully. While it can be difficult to view yourself this way, just remember that it will come with patience. Think about where other people stand when they view you and think about how you must look to them. This can be a good regular exercise for you.

*When you have mastered the mental controls that you need to maneuver yourself through the viewing process, why not cast your gaze a little bit wider? Consider all of the different options that you have when you are thinking about moving forward and learning about remote viewing. Picture a place that you are very familiar with and think about the small details that will surround it. When you have a picture in your head, go to the place itself and look it over. What kind of details did you see?

One interesting thing that you might be interested in doing is to see how these remote viewing exercises can involve two people. Start with you and your friend sitting in different rooms. Your friend performs a simple movement and as you concentrate on what is going on, you should try to see your friend doing this. Then let them do the same or you. This can be something that allows you to instantly compare results.

After you have finished your remote viewing techniques, you are going to find that entering a relaxed state is much easier than you think. Consider how you can use a trance-like reaction state to hypnotize yourself. Even if you are still wide awake, you are going to be relaxed enough to get into your own subconscious.

The truth of the matter is that your psychic abilities are much easier to get to than you might think, and remember that practice is the key!

Trees as Memorial Gifts

By Gareth Z Mitchell

Whether you have lost a loved one or you know someone who has, there are many different reactions that you might have. You might be shocked that they are gone, you may be regretful for the opportunities that you missed or you might find yourself looking for a way to celebrate the life that they led. Many people who are grieving over a loved one find themselves looking for a meaningful memorial, and this is where memorial trees can come in.

Trees are wonderful additions to any area and in many ways, you will find that these are bereavement gifts that can be a benefit to the people who are mourning as well. A tree is not a graveyard where you focus on lost chances; instead, you will be outside, standing under the shade of a living thing and rejoicing underneath it.

Remember the way that the departed touched your life or the lives of the everyone around them. Remember the way that a tree reaches out and provides shade and cover to everyone who comes near it. If you are mourning a person who you learned a great deal about life from, a tree would be a beautiful way to commemorate that.

One thing that people won't forget about trees is that they will live for a fairly long time. They can serve as a reminder for the people who are left behind that life does go on, and that just because someone is no longer alive, it doesn't mean that their presence is gone.

Think of an area that the deceased cared about very much, whether it was a park, a yard, or a natural preserve of some sort. Talk to the people who oversee it or take care of it, and the chances are high that they would love to have a new addition to the property. Adding memorial plaques can help everyone recognize the tree as the garden memorial that you want it to be.

When you are looking to remember someone who was important to you, try to look off the beaten path. A tree is something that everyone can benefit from, and when people are in a place where they want to have a living reminder, and not just a stone or a plaque, a tree stands in quite well.

When you are thinking of trees, think of all the positive associations that you have with them. Do you find that you are in a place where you are going to be able to move forward and to feel comforted? Consider how trees make you feel and what kind of memories of the deceased that you want to remember.

Trees can commemorate loss as memorial gifts in a deeply meaningful way, so think about what trees might mean to you and to the people you care about!
