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?

3 More Very Good Reasons Why You Should Manage Your Anger

By Broyde McDonald

All the time you hear about how your anger affects you. But anger affects the people around you as well.

Your anger hurts the people around you this is how

They have to stay away from you

There are people who care a lot about you. That is at least most of you.

The problem is there are people who love you and really would like your company. These are the ones who see you as a special person. But they stay away so that they can protect themselves from you. They know that you are capable of hurting them, or you might just be anti social. So for their emotional health and personal safety, they stay away from you.

When you are mad, the people who care about you can sometimes feel as if they are dead inside.

When you are angry, you make other people angry

The smart people would stay away from you for one big reason. Your anger without a doubt would make them angry too.

Anger is an emotion just like happiness, sadness, disappointment etc, and because it is only an emotion, it is very easily transferred from person to person. That is just the nature of emotions, they are contagious.

This means that if I know you are angry, and I go around you for just five minutes, I run the risk of having my entire day messed up. How smart a person am I to go where you are, knowing what is likely to happen?

An angry person can mess up a child for life

You may have also seen that children learn angry behaviors in a very short space of time.

As your child watches you and discovers how to act angry the way you do, his life becomes that much more complicated. The reason it is complicated is because he unlearns how to act his behavior will only become worse.

What you will get is a small person who when an adult, will probably get every problem that people with uncontrolled anger experience. There will be a difference though it is that his difficulties are likely to happen while he is younger. This means that his anger will affect him more during his adult life than it did for the person who he learned his behaviors from.

Stop it. Don't let it just keep on happening. Control your anger. The anger management classes we have here will see you through the hard parts of what it takes to get your anger under control.

Do You Understand The Term 'Past Regression'?

By John Paul Harding

As reincarnation gains ever more acceptance in our society, you may have been hearing about something called past life regression. This is exactly what the name implies; and it is something that a growing number of people are interested in. When we know more about our past lives, it gives us insight into our lives in the here and now.

One of the methods often used is to keep a journal of those thoughts and emotions which come to you, no matter how small that do not fit with the experiences you have had in your current lifetime. Even the smallest things may be a helpful clue to figuring out more about your past lives. For instance, phobias or an attraction to a certain place you may not ever have been. A journal is a good way to spot patterns which may point to a past life.

You can start off your past lives journal by making a list of likes and dislikes, foods, places and cultures you seem particularly attracted to and other such details about yourself. Any talents you seem to possess without having had to practice should be noted; basically, everything which makes you who you are should be here; this will help you to identify patterns later on as you add to the journal.

You should also write down any details from your dreams which seem relevant. As you do this though, remember that your dreams will also contain a lot of things which are drawn from your life in the present.

Or you could try past life regression.

Often, this will mean a session with a professional past life regression therapist. These people are trained in using hypnosis to guide you through a regression experience and help you to understand the information you gain from the session. While many choose to go to a professional, self-hypnosis may also work for you.

Meditation is another method of finding out more about past lives.

For a lot of people, it is hard to induce a past life regression experience using meditation. We are often skeptical of what we receive during these experiences; but in order to make the most of your regression, you have to learn to trust your instincts and to listen to yourself.

When you meditate, you might feel as if you are daydreaming, but some of the information which comes through as you calm your mind may be important. Be sure to write down everything which comes to you in your journal so you can compare it against the larger picture you are assembling there.

Those who have some difficulty meditating often find aids including visual focal points, incense or relaxing music or sounds to be helpful. There are guided meditation tapes you can try as well as recordings of relaxing natural soundscapes.

You can also use binaural beats.

These are specially designed audio recordings which contain specific frequencies which can help you reach a deep meditative state quickly. While you meditate, choose a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and that you can sit or lie down comfortably. As you begin, make a conscious effort to relax your body and maintain a positive mindset.

You need to relax your muscles and clear your mind. When one of those thoughts of your everyday concerns comes through, simply acknowledge it and move on. It may take several tries before you can successfully meditate, but you will get there - and the answers to your questions about past lives may start coming to you.

Past life regression can even help you to cope with problems in your present life as well as give you information about the past. Some even learn that they have known the people they know now in a past life.

A large number of the world's religious traditions include reincarnation among their beliefs, particularly the Karmic religions of South Asia. Jains, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists all believe that your actions in every lifetime influence the circumstances you will be born into the next time around. What this teaches us is that having an understanding of your past lives can be the key to living better right now.

Regression has to be done with an open mind to the possibilities the practice opens up. You need to be willing to take in what comes to you and open to learning from your past mistakes to change your current life for the better.

There are many who hold the opinion that a regression through a past life can help to free you of mental blocks and improve your mental health and your outlook on life.

When you can deal with the problems of your past, you may be able to make positive changes by knowing where you have gone wrong in past lives and make better decisions in the present as a result. A regression can show you the way towards living a better life with a greater degree of kindness to yourself and others.

You might even find that you have talents or abilities which you were not even aware of. If you see yourself in a past life as an expert pianist, for instance, you will most likely find that if you take up the instrument you will be an accomplished player quickly. Discovering these latent abilities can add to your quality of life immensely.

There are many benefits which past life regression has to offer to anyone whose mind is open to the possibility that they have led other lives before. For those who are willing to listen, the past has much to teach us.

Telepathy Test - You Could Be Telepathic!

By Rickie Evans

To measure an individuals psychic abilities there are numerous telepathy test available. However, there is an element of luck in many of these tests. But over a period of time and many trials, the results will show your telepathic abilities. And alleviate any guessing as to your ability.

Some of these tests are simply to test you for psychic ability and others were designed to measure the range of you ability and its strength.

It is best to keep in mind that all of the telepathic skill-set includes ESP, precognition, telepathy and clairvoyance. And developing one may lead to an increase in other powers of telepathy by default.

It's possible to access your own sub-conscious using meditation and deep breathing exercises that help to open your mind and expand your focus. These exercises can often help you access more aspects of your psychic and telepathic skills and help to develop that part of your mind responsible for these skills.

Regardless the amount of your telepathic or psychic powers, at the moment, your telepathy skills and the strength range of your skills can be developed even further. It is, however, hard to know in what area you may need improvement. This can be accomplished with a telepathy test.

Here Is A Solo Telepathy Test

The quickest solo telepathy test you can use is to try and predict who's calling you whenever the telephone rings. If you're using a cell phone with caller ID, don't look at the screen. Take a moment to concentrate and think about who wants to talk to you.

Before you answer the phone make a good guess. You can do this for the next several calls you get and write down the results. With this test you can get an idea of the level of your telepathic ability.

Many people have said they know who the caller is. Even before answering the phone. This is done unconsciously. You can learn to focus this ability consciously over a period of time.

Here Is A Quick Psychic Test

Sometimes it's possible to test your psychic ability with a simple prop, like a coin. It's important to find a quiet spot to sit before you begin the test. Be sure you won't be interrupted or distracted by noisy TVs or sudden sounds.

Do some deep breathing exercises in the beginning, for a few minutes, to relax. Clear your mind. Now toss a coin in the air, make a prediction on what side will come up. Try this several times and mark your results.

You have a 50/50 chance of making a correct guess. However, any score over 50% might show a definite psychic ability that can be developed further.

The Basic Telepathy Test

Perhaps the simplest form of telepathy test is the card test. This is best conducted with two people and a set of psychic flash cards.

Choose a quiet location where you can both concentrate without interruptions and sit facing each other. One person needs to be the sender and the other will be the receiver. The person you've chosen to be the sender needs to send an image of the picture on the flash card without allowing the receiver to see the card directly.

Practice, quit a bit of it, is required for the sender to concentrate and focus on the image being sent to the receiver.

The person receiving the images should concentrate on any impressions they see in their mind's eye. Never try to second-guess the impressions you see. Just say the first thing that comes into your head.

Record your responses over the entire pack of flash cards. Your results should take into account an element of luck, as there will be some responses that could be lucky guesses. However, a high incidence of correct answers could indicate a latent psychic ability that could be developed with a little patience.

Keep in mind that this type of telepathy test is not always the best test to use. This is because your friend may not have a strong level of psychic ability and may not be sending strong images, which can skew your results.

Intermediate Telepathy Test

Once it becomes noticeable that your results are improving with the basic test for telepathy, you should start to increase your range a little more. Conduct the basic telepathy flash cards and this would be the easiest. This time have the sender and receiver in separate room. Use a speaker phone or another device to verify images being received by the receiver.

Again, patients and some practice will be needed. It is sometimes more difficult to send images over distances. It's more difficult to pick images up with the possibility of outside interference between sender and receiver.

There are many telepathy tests you can use to not only check for the presence of psychic ability but also to practice and strengthen your telepathic skills. The best way to choose a telepathy test is to work with one that suits your schedule and feels comfortable for you.

Church Leaders And Prophetic Teams

By Mike Wong

We have seen powerful and accurate prophecies which great strengthen people of God. The Lord is determined in helping the church with the increasing anointing of prophetic gifts. But we also see the misunderstanding and the misuse of the gifts often brings chaos and problems for the body of Christ. As the Proverb says, Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. Therefore, the way to keep the church in the way of the Lord and prosper is not to avoid prophetic ministry, but instead, we try to do it in unity and in agreement with the principles taught in the Bible.

God ordained different positions and roles to play in church in order for the body of Christ to operate properly. These include but not limit to apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. There are clear spiritual orders for us to follow and authorities we are required to submit to. Especially when we are dealing with prophetic ministries, all of us need to be clear what we are supposing to do and the motives behind which should not be carnal or manipulative.

While we must care for all that God has commissioned to us, we must give extra care to the prophetic ministry. Prophecy is characterized by the divinely inspired information which reveals God's will, God's plan and even God's feeling and emotions. For this reason, it is capable of greatly encourage someone, but in the case of misuse can also greatly damage a person or a community. One concept we must not miss which is that prophecies cannot be treated as authoritative as the scripture. Prophecies are God's inspired thought presentation human words. It is often mixed with the words of the vessel being used to deliver the message. No matter how anointed the prophetic person is, he only prophecies in part.

All prophecies must be tested against biblical truths. A church leader must not be intimidated by his prophetic team. He needs to provide guidance and rules for the team to follow so that they can work together for the good of the congregation. On the other hand, the leader must not have any insecure feeling or even envy towards the prophetic ministers due to the respect and authority they receive for their ministry.

In Kansas City, there is a church supervised by Pastor Mike Bickle. He experienced a lot about the prophetic and is now very mature in working with prophetic ministries. But there was a time that he did not understand everything the way he does now. At that time, a lot of prophetic words are allowed to be shared in the Sunday services. The prophetic people were not guided or administrated properly because Mike thought that these people must know exactly what and when to say the words since they can listen to the Lord. But it turned out this was not the case.

Prophetic people are often given with the anointing long before they have the wisdom and maturity to operate in it smoothly. Prophetic people are also weak and broken people, but they received the grace of prophetic gifts. The leadership needs to give clear guidance to help them do their ministry. The pastor does not need to be more prophetic than the prophetic team of the church, but he must be gifted in leading the church than the team because God assigned this job to him. If necessary, the leader will have to strongly correct them without compromises.

The Cosmic Ordering Guide Can Give You the Life You Want

By Lauren Georgio

Whether you are in a place where you are looking for options or you feel as though you might be at the end of your rope, you will find that the universe is there and it wants to catch you! The truth is that the things that we want are out there and what we need to do is to let the universe know that we are interested in them.

Take a look at those people who just seem to get everything they want, whenever they want it. They're happy with their lives, they're happy with their jobs, and they have enough money and health to truly enjoy life. But in fact, these people don't know any special secret. They've simply tapped into a cosmic ordering guide that they may not be aware even exists. However, now that you know, you can tap into it, too!

When you are constantly feeling down about things, you know that it is something that can be hard to get out of. For instance, if things are going badly, you are going to expect them continue going badly. This is where you are essentially sabotaging yourself.

When you expect bad things to happen, when you expect to have a spouse who is not interested in you or a boss who continues to belittle your efforts, that is precisely what you are going to get! Essentially, when you put those expectations out there, you are telling the universe what you want. Those are the strongest thoughts that getting through, and you will find that universe will comply!

Of course you don't want something bad to happen to you, but if that's all you think about, it's really easy to understand that the universe is going to think that that's what you're looking for. If you only concentrate on thinking negatively, and when you feel helpless and as though nothing else is going to change, that's what's going to come through, because the universe is going to provide what you "want."

This is why people who are positive thinkers seem to get only good things while people are negative thinkers will only get more of the same! Think about your attitude and think about what you have been telling the universe. What do you think it wants to give you and what can you do to change it?

This is where the cosmic ordering guide can really help you. With a cosmic ordering guide, it's a little bit like ordering from a mail order service, in that you order what you want and it comes to you a few days later. Using a "cosmic ordering guide" is really the same thing.

Think of it this way; if you don't put in the order, you are not going to get what you want. No matter how much you think about it, or how much you wish for it, you are not going to get it unless you make the effort to put in the order. People are beginning to realize that the universe works in just the same way.

What you need to do to make that happen? Essentially, you need to communicate with the universe and let it know what to expect and what you want. If you want more money, don't think, "I want money," though. It's going to send more experiences that will make you want money. Instead, begin to think, "I have enough money." That's what the universe will begin to show you.

If you act as though you are wealthy and successful, that's what's going to begin to come to you. However, if you act and expect to be poor and miserable for your entire life, that's what the universe will give you, too.

When you want to start putting in your order with the cosmic ordering service, you will find that it is time for you to look into how to change the way that you think.

So if you're ready to change your life forever, and you want a life that's going to provide what you want and please you, consider the cosmic ordering guide. Just take a look at what it can do for you!
