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?

Best Psychics: Pet Psychics Predicting the Future

By Tana Hoy


The best psychics also possess the psychic gift of mediumship, and so too our fury, scaly and feathery companions.

The best psychics are apprehensively gifted. But we aren't alone in the planet. Animals, they're everywhere-in our homes, farms, ships, zoos, and occasionally in the wild. But how well do we understand them? Could the secret to reading the future be beyond mere humans but lie rather within the grasp of our scaly, feathered and innocent chums?

There are strong evolutionary reasons for animals responding to disasters in advance and getting out of the way and we have no idea how they are doing that. The Chinese have actually used this to forecast earthquakes by paying attention to animal behavior. But in the west, seismologists and earthquake experts have simply ignored it, and therefore, they have learned nothing about it.

The most plausible physical theory is that there are electrical changes before earthquakes: as the rocks are crushed, it changes the earth's electrical field and the animals may be picking that up. There's may be probably something to that, which may be part of it. But then, in what might be something more mysterious, namely, the ability to see the future which we can call pre-cognition or pre-sentient. Feelings that there are something that is about to happen.

Pet psychics appear on a regular basis in fiction and science fiction, such as the hit movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective or Dr. Doolittle books and movies. Psychics rely on diverse techniques when doing an animal reading. Pet psychics communicate with animals and some claim to connect with an animal's soul. Reasons for consulting a pet psychic vary, but typically center on bringing a troubled human and animal companion relationship to mutual satisfaction.

The best psychics do often have all the answers, but a question to ponder upon: would our animal friends have those answers, too?

How To Deal With Death

By Burton Rager


No one finds it straightforward to keep on after the death of a mate, sister, brother, parent, partner or child. Each brings its own hurt and discomfort and difficulty in discovering how to deal with death. The strength of the loss will alter tremendously. My emotions after the loss of a best buddy were very different from the loss of my folks and those losses were significantly different than the death of my better half.

I was with my best mate only a few hours before he died. I remember him pulling at the sheets and being extraordinarily perturbed. I sat beside him and held him for a long time while attempting to provide comfort to my friend and friendship to his wife. It was tricky for her to witness her hubby wrestling and to know the end was near.

Sitting and staying with my mom in the hospice during her last five days and nights was quite a different experience. I recall taking a look at her many times times to work out if she was still breathing. She was completely ready to go home to heaven; and that helped each of us who loved her. Nonetheless, watching your ma struggle to breathe during her last hours is never simple.

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.

A Short History Of Hinduism

By Owen Jones


Hinduism is a complex blend of polytheistic religion, a (belief in many gods, rather like the Greek and the Roman deities) and philosophy. It stemmed from Vedism, which dates back to the second millennium before Christ. It is not surprising therefore that numerous sects have developed or broken away from a faith of this age.

However, most of these sects rely on the one book, the Vedic writings known universally as the 'Upanishads', and their differences result from their individual interpretations of it. These texts describe the events of Shiva, the creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe and they are based on even more ancient writings such as the Mahabharata, the Ramayana and, less famous in the West, the Puaranas.

The Bhagavad Gita, the Lord's Song, a part of the Mahabharata, relates a dialogue between Krishna (another incarnation of the god Vishnu) and the student Prince Arjuna. This dialogue elucidates the three paths to enlightenment or union with God.

This might sound dreary, but I can assure you that reading the Bhagavad Gita could easily transform the way that you look upon life no matter which religion you adhere to, if you have one.

The fundamentals of Hinduism are that people should attempt to connect their selves (Atman) with the Godhead (Brahman) and reincarnation (samsara). Just what people come back as is determined by how people have led their lives, that is, one's actions (karma) and one's duty (dharma).

This continuous reincarnation into a life of suffering can only be broken when one joins the Godhead in a state of Atman-Brahman. Their are four paths to attain this divine condition in Hinduism. These are: jnana yoga, which is based on knowledge; bhakti yoga, which is based on service to God; karma yoga, which is based on work for God (rather than oneself) and raja yoga, which is based on psychophysical exercise.

Raja yoga, or the 'Royal Path', is the kind of yoga that most Westerners will have heard of and seen. Raja yoga is more common in these West these days than at any other period in history.

Hinduism has three principal theistic traditions founded on anthropomorphic gods. Vishnu is a loving god incarnated as Krishna; Shiva is both protective and destructive and Brahma is the creator. Saktism is a form of worship dedicated to the female partners of Vishnu and Shiva. Hindu's venerate all forms of life, but the most sacred animal to Hindus is the cow.

Hindu worship revolves around a person's and a family's devotion to a particular 'favourite' god or group of gods. The act of worship is carried out at a shrine, which can be at home or communally in public. There are a number of places of pilgrimage including the Ganges in northern India.

The three primary festivals are Dipavali - the 'festival of lights' - which sacred to Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity; Holi, a spring festival and Dashara, a harvest festival.

Hinduism is the oldest of the world's prolific religions. It is most widespread in India, which has outlawed the ancient caste system of Hinduism. This caste system used to segregate society into five foremost groups: brahmins were leaders, philosophers and artists; kshatriyas were princes, soldiers and administrators; vaishyas were merchants and landowners; shudras were labourers and the remainder were outcasts or untouchables.
