Message From the Universe: Daily Inspirational Quote

"It's always been my intention that one day you'd inherit the earth, have dominion over all things, and thoroughly "kick butt."

How does today sound?

Think of it,
The Universe"

Your positive thoughts will become positive things, which also includes positive action plan with belief that you do deserve it all. You can think all you want, even if all your thoughts are primarily positive, but if you do not believe that you deserve these great things to happen, you will even things out, hence, nothing will happen and you will confirm your belief of neutrality. The Universe is a mathematical equation that deserve to be handle using equilibrium on both side of the scale. If you think positive, believe positive. You can't allow contradicting thoughts entering your mind which when belief is not in sync with your thoughts, nothing really good will happen. Positive thoughts in itself are very powerful, but they are not the ONLY parameters needed to live a productive and healthy life. Everything needs to be aligned properly for things to happen the way you expect.

Your subconscious mind is a very powerful tool that can control more than what is happening in your direct environment. It is, I admit, difficult to BELIEVE that your mind can control what happens in the Universe. With the billions of galaxies, with billions of stars and planet within these galaxies, and the multiverse theory which allows parallel universe to exist, it can be difficult to fathom that your mind can control how things can happen to benefit your life. Never underestimate your power because that belief will destroy any potential you may have to change the world around you. Remember, you need to focus first on yourself, changing your world from within and once you have mastered that skill, you can go and help the Universe fulfill your dreams of wealth, health and happiness.

How To Become Motivated When You Want To Stay In Bed

If you'd rather stay in bed when your alarm goes off and you have little or no motivation to get up, the first thing to realise is how common this feeling actually is. You are not on your own. Everyone goes through periods in their life where they feel like this. You may feel like you are lost, unsure of what to do next and embarrassed because you feel like you are falling behind.

Here are my 3 steps to getting your motivation back and waking up happy.
1. Be honest - It's OK to feel like this. You don't need to ignore how you feel or lie about it. It's better to speak up and talk about how you are feeling. Don't keep it bottled up. You don't need to tell everyone, but acknowledge how you are feeling and be honest with yourself and those closest to you.

2. Make a date with someone - It's so tempting at a time like this to hide away. To cancel plans or not make any new plans. You may not feel like meeting up with people at all, you will probably prefer to avoid the questions and having to explain what you are doing and how you are feeling. But hiding away isn't going to do you any good. Just because you are feeling like this, doesn't mean you are not good company. You need to get out and see new places, meet friends, be in inspiring surroundings. By doing this, you will find that your enthusiasm comes back and you may even have moments of inspiration which will put you right back on track.

3. Take action - By doing nothing, by going back to bed or avoiding people, you are being a victim and are allowing defeat to take over you. Don't let how you are feeling stop you from taking even a small step of action. Do something that makes you feel good. Clean out drawers, give unwanted items to charity and de clutter your life. Sign up to a personal development course. Arrange a coffee with your best friend. Book a yoga workshop. Do whatever it is that will lift your mood.

It is important to realise that these periods in our lives where we feel lost, lacking motivation and even feel like we are falling behind, can actually be good times. They can give us the space, the time and the opportunity we need to grow.

I am a Personal Development Coach and I help people to become the people they are capable of being. To release whatever it getting in the way and holding them back. Call me on 07760144405 and we can do some amazing work together.

The Mysterious Parallel Universe!

Sir James Jeans has written a book titled 'The Mysterious Universe' in 1930. In this wonderful book he has described the mysteries of the universe and wondered that the total number of stars in the universe is probably something like the total number of grains of sand on all the sea-shores of the world. In the last chapter he just declared that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine.

He also in his concluding remarks said that at least we are conjecture to-day, and yet who knows how many more times the stream of knowledge may turn on itself?

He is right. The stream of knowledge turned many times in the last eighty-six years and the last turn makes us to wonder as to what is the limit of wonder regarding the universe.

A paper published on October 13, 2016 in the Astrophysical Journal gives the astonishing figure regarding galaxies leave alone stars! It says there are at least 2 trillion galaxies out there - 10 times greater than astronomer's previous estimates.

One trillion is one followed by 12 zeros!

Examining the data we got from The Hubble Space Telescopes and other observatories worldwide, the scientists believe that ninety percent of the galaxies in the universe are "too faint and too far away to be seen."

This statement simply shows that we are dealing with a mysterious universe with an infinite dimension!

A galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars and each star system contains dozens of planets! (Please note one billion means hundred crores!)

Astronomers concluded earth like planets alone in the universe may be around one billion!

To put it in layman terms for each human on Earth there are 200 galaxies.

As Sir James Jeans predicted the stream of knowledge has taken a swift turn now.

One more turn regarding the universe is that we are not living in one Universe; according to Hugh Everett, we are in multiverse.

With Huge Everett's findings we have to start to think very seriously. His theory is being analyzed by the Scientist Max Tegmark. The multiverses are stacked one over the other and the distances hitherto thought unreachable also takes a turn. Because the distance between one universe to the other is just one millimeter only!

The physicist Max Tegmark asks us to view Everett's theory sympathetically. He says that Everett's only mistake was to be born ahead of his time!

According to Max there are four levels of multiverse. Level I - Regions beyond our cosmic horizon. Level II - Other post Inflation Bubbles. Level III - The Many Worlds of Quantum Physics. Level IV - Other Mathematical Structures.

I invite all readers who are interested to know more about the mysteries of Parallel Universe to go through his essays about all these four levels.

To put it simply, we are all living in multiverse..

With this I just take leave of you in this Universe.

Nagarajan has written more than 3000 articles in Tamil in 18 magazines and published 52 books. He is revealing Eastern Secret Wisdom through T.V. Programmes, magazine articles, seminars, courses. He has covered various subjects in his wide range of articles which include Mantras, Yantras, Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, Astronomy, Space Science, Science and Spirituality, Hollywood cinema, Women's progress, Aura, Significance of Colors, Reincarnation, Divine Geometry, Power of Prayer etc. As an ardent seeker of Truth, he has collected scientific experiments on mantras, mind, Auto suggestion etc. He has written many articles on para psychology also.

A Former Missionary Finds God

David Flood and Aggie Hurst's story of redemption is a picture of unending grace that has captured hearts for decades. In the early 1900's David and Svea Flood entered the mission field in Africa. Another missionary couple joined them. After little success at reaching the people around them, the other missionary couple gave up and returned home. The only contact the Flood's had was with a little boy who sold fruit.

Svea Flood gave birth on the mission field to a daughter, but died from malaria shortly thereafter. It was then that David gave up as well, gave up the mission field, gave up his faith, and gave up his newborn daughter. Feeling abandoned by God, he left the baby at the mission station and returned to his home, broken hearted. The people that adopted her named her Aggie.

For as long as Aggie Hurst had been alive, her father David Flood had remained on the other side of the ocean, ignoring her attempts at reconciliation. Years later she found out he was deathly ill. She was determined to see him. When father and daughter met for the first time since she was an infant, he tearfully told her he never wanted things to end up like they did.

Aggie attempted to comfort him by sharing that God had been there through it all, working faithfully behind the scenes. David erupted in anger and told her not to mention God in his presence. Forty years a widower, forty years since the mission field, forty years an alcoholic had left him filled with bitterness at the thought of a creator.

Then Aggie showed him an article, it showed a picture of a cross, a memorial to his former wife Svea. She told him about the revival that happened in the Congo after he left the mission field in disgust. She told him about the little boy that sold fruit that became a preacher and led the village to Christ.

Forty years was a long time to wait for healing. But David Flood experienced it that day, turning his heart back to the one with the nail pierced hands.

It was not long after Aggie's visit that David died, finally at peace with God. But the Flood's story was far from over.

Years passed and Aggie and her husband were in London at a conference listening to a preacher from the Congo. After the conference they approached him and asked if he knew David and Svea Flood. "I am the little boy that sold your family fruit," he proclaimed!

Then he told her that Svea Flood was one of the most famous people in the Congo. Then he told her that after the village was converted, the gospel spread like wildfire. He was now in London as a representative of over 120,000 believers in the Congo who traced their spiritual foundation back to Flood's. Their story is a picture of grace, amazing grace indeed.

Know Your Role on the Global Scale - Promote Peace, Unity and Leave a Legacy for Your Posterity!

Promote what brings you feelings of peace by simple, spontaneous and/or more joyful events. Share what you know others would appreciate receiving from you. Know that everybody wins if you share more of your positive feeling's with them. Oftentimes, too often if you were to ask me, we forget that what we do today affects the children and relatives that we leave behind. With so much happening in today's modern, global, always plugged-into technology, society, we tend to forget to model good character traits to our children. No, this is not going to be one of those types of articles; so please, keep reading...

It requires a lot less commute time, resources or energy, these days, affording the simple pleasure of easily connecting to familiar people and places. In the ease of being social and interactive with friends and family, we get lost somewhere in how we delegate time to spend in their company, really engaging them. Since it is so easy to connect, we should connect with the sole purpose to be present and approachable when in the company of others. Don't let this elude you, schedule available time to devote to the customs and habits that we bring to our ways for socialization. The time that we spend with others, should be uninterrupted, memorable and special. Time scheduled to spend with loved ones and friends is too often overlooked, or we take their availability for granted. Time is fleeting and NO, you do not get that time back, no matter how much you tell yourself differently. Spending enough time with others-- in-person, making direct eye-contact, engaging events or participating in conversations is significant. Actually talking and exchanging glances, laughs, jokes-told in-person, followed by unprompted smiles, with others, is overlooked, unappreciated or underrated. Our role on the global scale is simple. Make MORE time to engage family and friends. Use any and every opportunity to visit or congregate with others experiencing great conversations or sharing meals, done in unity. Leave a legacy for friends and family to know that you contributed to global joy, peace, love and unity- at every opportunity. Know your life was spent sharing with those you chose to pursue or keep connected to you.  You honored other people and openly shared love and space with them! Life has the same amount of time or daily hours, the length of a day is the same for everyone. It's up to us to use each day for sharing more loving acts of kindness, quality time and acting more cohesively as a society. Our young people need to talk to us and to get to know us better more now than ever before in history. Know that we all play a role regarding the Universal truths of PEACE, LOVE, JOY with respect for everybody. Leave a legacy of kindness and respect for your children to emulate. Learn to set the example of how to live by living your life in honesty. Our posterity is watching us, let's hope they learn good habits. And also to learn how to show love and respect for one another, especially when we are no longer around to coach them.

If you were to ask anyone, reaching the end of life, what they regret the most, I'll bet you'd get a broad range of many different answers. They may more stem from an emotive response or even from a spiritual place. These regrets do not stem from career dissatisfaction or unattained monetary accomplishments, NO! People's regrets are from unrequited love, loss of family through death or separation, or from any number of personal accounts. Their regrets are not loving and engaging people often enough. I wish you a happy, healthy, socially gratifying home/family life and an abundance of joy. Enjoy more quality time by engaging people, do it more than you ever have before! You and me should leave our kids, relatives and the rest of posterity a good view of how we conducted ourselves during the time they knew us-- before our demise.  Time is so precious be wise with your social time and make the time to enjoy people. places and events while you are healthy and able to influence them in positive ways. Even long after we are gone, no longer interacting with others, on the planet, we want our heart-loving expressive energy to outlive us. Let your loving acts or heartfelt words of kindness continue to uplift another or to comfort others by words of wisdom, encouragement or empathy. Let others make the connection for what you contributed to make their lives more informed, and be able to recall long after you're gone and resting somewhere. (Heaven, right?)

What I Learned From The World's 8 Wealthiest Men

Do you keep your phone on the nightstand?

For decades, there's been a phone on my nightstand, and these days, that phone offers data. You know, access to NEWS. Well, this morning - early - I awakened from a memory.

I was sixteen, standing in an elevator, and I'd held the door for a man running through an underground parking lot. (Not something I would recommend in today's world... but... ) I recognized the man as he got closer, greeted him, and he stepped into the elevator. Between B level and 5th Floor, he said nothing, but gave me a kiss that curled my toenails and made me shimmer for the next two weeks. I stepped out on the 5th floor, but he invited me to the 7th. I didn't go. I had bigger plans for my life, and the opportunity he offered wasn't in my plans.

41 years later, he's the co-host on the morning news show that my phone is set to pick up. And the topic of the morning is The World's 8 Wealthiest Men.

So, I'm listening in, mesmerized by that face. The face of my first kiss etched into my mind. And the life lessons take away my breath. The realization that I made a choice that left an opportunity far behind, and the outcome has been phenomenal.

1 - These men are not light-weights in the world of finance. Not only do they know exactly where to hedge their bets, they're not shy about placing binary options on their money.

2 - They are not hung up on their appearance. They are and have been extremely good-looking men, but they haven't spent their time on keeping up with the latest, greatest style. They're classic and traditional dressers.

3 - They have absolutely amazing teams. Each of them is definitely self-made, but they've gathered around them highly successful team players.

4 - Rules were made to be broken. They don't go out of their way to break the law, but they also don't hesitate to bend the rules to suit their purpose when necessary.

5 - They understand the meaning of finding personal satisfaction in their job. They really do LOVE what they do, on every level necessary to accomplish the job. They don't mind spending many hours working, because working is what they love to do.

6 - Women matter. These men have learned to find the right woman to support and benefit them, often by trial and error. But they have women in their circle of friends who keep them centered and focused.

7 - Failure is a huge part of success. They've learned from failure and don't hesitate to try risky investments, because sometimes risk brings the win.

8 - Equality is a state of behavior. Opportunities abound, but not everyone will see them, accept them, or take advantage of them. Some miss opportunities because they're looking for the obvious, easy, or next opportunity.

9 - Success happens when you learn from a failed experience and keep going, because it's just a few steps further than where you're standing.

Keep moving toward your goal.

That first kiss may have looked like an opportunity to some, but to me it was a fork in the path that I didn't want to take. I didn't want to be HIS opportunity, I was looking for my own opportunities. I think we often fall for the first option, instead of waiting for the opportunity that belongs to us...

Wealth is a choice.

Life lessons can be learned, applied, and experienced, but if you never make the right choices, they don't matter.

Let's look at your choices, your opportunities, and the options you've taken, and see where we can improve your wealth options. Click on http://janverhoeff.com and let me help you find opportunities for wealth in your life.

Is It Your Idea Or Someone Else's?

A light bulb moment! The one that we always use to refer to that great, million dollar idea. It seems like it came out of nowhere. Just a flash of inspiration and it's like it was all there. In detail.

Sure, you had been thinking about this for some time, most recently with a little more intensity. Then boom! There it was, like the blueprint was magically handed to you, just waiting for you to make it.

Let's say you actually put action to the idea and make it. Then rush to get a patent to protect your brainchild. Then comes the shocking surprise, that someone has already filed a patent. How could this be? The surprise is almost too much to bear. What is the explanation?

Scientific studies, in one instance from MIT, would claim that brainwaves are too weak to travel far, and could never compete with radio waves for example. Another article* dealing with the "ether" and "speed of thought" offers sufficient material for consideration to the contrary.

Many studies have been done during the last 30 years that continue to offer substantial proof of the power of thought. One of the best *sources I have found citing many different experiences over many years can be found *below.

So what is the point? Thoughts, ideas, travel, and not just in circles inside your head. They are not just weak signals as compared to radio waves, but are received both consciously and unconsciously at great distances. While current experiments have been done using computers to help translate the message to the brain of participants from India to France, those using no such mechanical means are some of the most interesting.

So what is the possibility of picking up random thoughts of another, never realizing they were not 100 percent your own? Consider the conscious effort involved thinking intently about a particular project, idea, or challenge. Is it possible the more concentrated those efforts are they could attract similar thoughts?

Many experiments have been done with telepathy, transmitting thoughts from one person to another over short distances with success. Mind reading has normally been relegated to parlor tricks, so is not seriously considered in truly transmitting thoughts from one person to another.

Some will have a hard time relating thoughts to prayer or anything spiritual. For many a prayer is a conversation with God. No special words or phrases were ever necessary, and in fact Jesus clearly stated that those who did nothing more than call on his name would be given an eternal life with him.

So it seems all this could be boiled down to intent. In whatever mode it is intended, through prayer, a spiritual effort, a sincere desire, shamanic rituals, as an old saying goes, it's the thought that counts.

There will always be the "naysayers" who refuse to accept anything that doesn't have some logical explanation. These surely are the distant offspring of those who claimed the world was flat, of those who poisoned such as Socrates for bringing about change.

Go ahead and laugh, shake your head, but be careful what you're thinking because you never know where it could end up. Whoever coined the phrase, "A penny for your thoughts." was trying to get off cheap! At least in some cases where there was actual value involved.

Since it has also been proven that most hide out in thoughts of past history, which being in the past are as dead as the doornail, thoughts of value are in the big minority. So it can be said that the possibility of capturing that million dollar thought may have odds of say... a billion to one?

I've got some serious thinkin' to do.

Why You Should Want Others to Respect You

Love is the strongest and most unknown vibrational energy that you will ever need. But alongside this, you also need another important ingredient for your stand and status in the society. What is it? Read on to find out.

All of us have an urge inside us to feel important. And that is when you crave for a little respect from the people around you including your spouse or fianc�.

What would having respect really mean? It means you have a position and status in the society. It also means you are vital and make a difference in the world. Without your presence, your position would be empty and no other human being can ever fill it up.

Respect is all about making others feel important, giving credit to others when they deserve, giving raises and promotions when they have earned them and above all, treating them with dignity and value.

Of course there will be a minority who will not be skilled, speak bad language and bear no courtesies and manners. These people are to be left behind while you go ahead in life. And if you are the boss, simply fire them.

Respect for others means you treat them as your equal and are ready to discuss issues or problems on the same plane. You find that you have much in common and share equivalent values and ethics.

Without people respecting you would mean that you are an outcast, not belonging to the society, rather being kicked by the society. This really happens when you are drunk every night and return home, when you poke your nose too much in others' affairs without letting them have any privacy and when you boss around everywhere, with people loathing it, and not listening to their woes.

With a medley of love and respect, you are so much comfortable in your shoes. You have become successfully the person you have always wanted to be. You enjoy family company and friends and colleagues' company. You respect others just as much as others respect you. Together with all the people you know, you are a mighty force, standing up for each other and nothing could be better and more graceful. You will smile- so will the world smile back at you.

For some mishap or unfortunate chain of events, if you lose your respect, you are bound to go down the bottomless pit. But that is not the end of everything. You can have help and ask for help from genuine people and also pray to Almighty God for amending your mistakes and eventually earn back all the respect you will ever need.

In fact, having respect in the society naturally means you are important, wealthy and a make-a-difference person. And you can have all of that only if you yearn for it bad enough. Gotcha?

Rosina S Khan has authored this article, highlighting why other than love, people should earn their respect in the society.

Leaders: Will You Ask The Right QUESTIONS?

Many individuals in positions of leadership, find it challenging to accept the fact, they don't know it all! One of the basic tenets of leading effectively, is to constantly, consistently, and effectively, continue to learn, especially in relevant areas. However, how can anyone possibly improve, until/ unless he undergoes this transformation, from a know - it - all, to a seeker of additional information? In order to proceed, along the path, which will facilitate this process, one must accept he must discover, realize (at least somewhat) what he lacks or needs, and methodically, proceed to procure additional knowledge. A true leader must focus clearly, and learn what he needs to know, and then proceed to ask the right QUESTIONS.

1. Quest; query: Just as Don Quixote sang, This is my quest, every true leader must have a deep - seated quest, and desire, to be the best he can be! His goals and aspirations, must align directly with his vibrant vital vision, and that must have a positive impact on the group's mission. However, one cannot get to that point unless he is willing to query, and ask what needs to be asked, so he learns what he needs to know!

2. Useful; usable: This process must help you to differentiate between useful information, and irrelevant, petty stuff! Listen careful, ask follow - up questions, and learn what is usable, relevant and the highest priority!

3. Empathy; excellence: Don't be one of those, My way or the highway, leaders! Listen more than you speak, ask about what you don't fully understand or realize, and develop genuine empathy! The goal of a real leader, must be to serve with, and provide excellence!

4. Strengthen; sort; satisfy: Leaders must do all they can to strengthen their organization, in the best direction! One must be able to sort out petty stuff, from priorities, and act accordingly! Great leaders seek to satisfy their visions, why serving their constituents effectively!

5. Timely: Looking busy, or talking about what's wrong, isn't leadership! It is incumbent upon a leader, to proceed, in a well - considered, timely manner!

6. Ideas; ideology; investigate; insights; integrity: Begin by investigating thoroughly, and gain valuable knowledge and insights! Never abandon your integrity, for the sake of expediency or popularity, and be true to your, and your group's ideology. You are not acting as a leader, unless you bring forth meaningful ideas!

7. Options; opportunities; opinions: Be clear, and realize the difference between facts and opinions! Seek to consider options and alternatives, so you can be best positioned, to take advantage of opportunities!

8. Needs: Leaders must serve the needs of their organization and constituents, and not focus on a personal agenda, etc.

9. Sustainable system: Doesn't it make sense, the main priority of leadership, must be to conceive of, create, develop and implement a relevant, priorities - based, strategic, sustainable system?

If you want to be a leader, will you be ready, willing and able, to ask the right QUESTIONS? One never knows what he doesn't know, until/ unless he asks!

Are You A New Leader? What To Do FIRST?

Is this the first time you've help a true, position of leadership? Or, perhaps, is it the first time, you've been asked to be a leader, in a different set of circumstances, with different needs, nuances, and priorities, or do you ever feel somewhat overwhelmed, at being in charge? It may appear there is so much to do, with numerous challenges, obstacles, needs and priorities. Although you realize you can't tackle everything at once, how will you make that essential decision, What to do FIRST? After four decades of identifying, qualifying, developing, training and consulting, to thousands of actual and/ or potential leaders, I've decided to address this mindset and action plan, using an easy - to - understand (and remember). mnemonic approach.

1. Face facts; find; follow - up: It is unwise to either bury one's head in the sand (and deny the obstacles, etc), or become a blamer and complainer! When first thrust into a position of responsibility, it is important to thorough fact - find, and learn all relevant information. This often includes: learning about the organization's heritage, history, and mission (and reason for it being so, and whether it still resonates); examining current needs, priorities, concerns, etc; examining alternative options and alternatives; and seeking a relevant, sustainable solution. Once you find what's up, one must adopt a strategy, and create, develop and implement a quality, action plan. No matter what happens (good, bad or neutral), one must always follow - up, in a systematic, relevant manner!

2. Ideas; issues; implement: Will you be an ideas - oriented leader, or simply stay within the comfort zone, of the same - old, same - old? Know issues thoroughly, consider facts and options, and implement a well - considered plan!

3. Relevant; real; reasonable: You can't fake being a real leader, at least, not for long! Pursue relevant paths, and pursue reasonable, realistic, meaningful solutions!

4. Strengthen; sustainable system: Just as physicians follow an Oath of Hippocrates, which tells them to Do no harm, leaders must seek to strengthen their organization, in an effective manner! Conceive of, create, develop, and implement the best, sustainable system, possible!

5. Timely; trends; thorough: Identify relevant trends such as: Is group growing or weakening?; Does mission still resonate or does it need tweaking?; How do external factors, such as economics, world (changes), competition, etc, impact the organization? Consider needs and priorities, and take well - considered, timely action! Whatever you do, be as thorough as possible!

When you become a leader, everything often appears, to be moving very quickly! Learn to slow it down, by identifying, and knowing, what to do FIRST!

Social Media: Are Some People More Concerned With Looking Good Than Doing Good?

In the past, if someone wanted to be seen as a good person, they would have had to behave in a certain way. This is down to the fact that their behaviour would have been what defined them.

As a result of this, it wouldn't have been enough for them to say the right things; they wouldn't have had to have done the right things. It would then have been important for them to treat other people well whilst they were at work, and to act in the same way towards their friends and family.

Strangers
In addition to this, how one treated the people who they came into contact with in the world would have also mattered. For example, there would be the people who they came into contact with whilst they were out shopping.

It could be said that it would have been harder for them to treat these people well, as they wouldn't have always responded in a positive manner. When it came to the people who they were close to, it would have generally be a lot easier, and this is because there is likely to have been a mutual respect.

Doing More
Along with this, one may have reached out even further, and spent time engaging in some kind of volunteering. This could have been something that they kept to themselves, or other people may have found out.

As to whether these people found out or not could depend on if one told them, but it could be due to what they were doing. If one was to help a charity and this meant that they had to spend time in a public place, other people would simply find out.

Meaningless
If one was to talk about how good they are during this time and they didn't actually do anything, the people around them are likely to have overlooked what they were saying. There would have been no evidence to back up what they were saying and so there would have been no reason to believe them.

In fact, if something like this took place, it might have caused them to look bad. The people around them might have starting to form a negative impression of them, and so what they said would have ended up having a negative effect on them.

To be expected
However, it could be said that it would have been normal for other people to behave in this way. After all, if one was to say something but they didn't follow through with it, it is not going to have an effect on the world.

It would be the same as if someone was to buy a pack of seeds and spoke about how these seeds will feed their family. And, while this could be the case, they could simply put them in a draw and forget about them.

Useless
If this was to take place, it would be clear that the seeds are not going to have a positive effect on their family. It would be the same as one having a plan to achieve something and not doing anything to make it into a reality.

Therefore, what this shows is how important it is for one to back up with what they say with what they do. Alternatively, they could simply take action and not say anything about it to anyone.

Today's World
But while this was often how things were in the past, it could be said that things have changed. This is primarily due to social media, and how one has far more control over how people will see them.

Through being able to share things on their wall, it is going to be up to them to decide how they will come across to others. Now, one could have the need to be seen as desirable or deep, for instance, and it is unlikely to be difficult for them to achieve this aim.

A Moral Person
If they have the desire to come cross as being a good person, it is not going to take a lot of effort. The only thing they will need to do is to share things on their wall and to 'like' the right things that other people have shared.

Through doing this, other people can come to see them as being a good person, and it is going to be irrelevant as to how they behave in the real world. What they actually do to make the world a better place can be overlooked.

The Reversal
And, if what they say online is seen as a reflection of how virtues they are, it is going to be as if this is the only thing that matters. It is then not that actions speak louder than words, but that words speak louder than actions.

In this case, one could come across as though they are purer than pure online, yet there offline behaviour could be the complete opposite. This is then similar to how people who are abusive can often come across as being charming and then behind the scenes, they can cause all kinds of damage.

An Act
If one was to take a deeper look within them and to see why they have the need to come across as a good person, they could find that it is a way for them to receive approval. It is then not that they care about being seen as good, they just want people to like them.

One could also carry a lot of guilt and feel as though they are a bad person, and through being seen as a good person, it can be a way for them to avid how they feel. But as how they feel is not just going to disappear, they will need other people to continually give them positive feedback.

Conclusion
There are naturally going to be people who will realise when another person is just trying to look good, and it won't have much of an effect on them. At the same time, there are going to be plenty of people who won't realise what is taking place.

Ultimately, if one truly wants to make a difference, it will be vital for them to actually do something. Not only this, they will need to make sure that what they do doesn't just cause them to feel good, but that it actually has a positive effect on others.

3 Pertinent Ways to Shift Your Limiting Money Beliefs

Beliefs. They are the underlying operating system for how we make our decisions and therefore what we decide to do and not do. They live in our subconscious mind, which does not have the ability to accept nor reject information. Meaning, any time we have an emotional reaction to something, the belief around it is automatically accepted into our subconscious mind unless we are using our conscious mind (which can accept or reject information), to vet what goes in there. Most people don't realize they can do this, and what happens if they don't! So if deep down we don't feel worthy of success, we will see life and make designs form this lens. We must first get clear on what is in there, and then reprogram it with new empowered beliefs if what's in there isn't so great.

My motto is that we need to be of service first and foremost always in our businesses. When we can accept and trust the universe always has our backs, and is going to show-us more and more people and opportunities to serve, we can relax, have fun and be of complete service. We're not worrying about money in this place or where the next client is going to come from. The money is secondary.

However, if we aren't open to receiving money, we will create all kinds of problems for ourselves. For example, when I first started looking at my own money beliefs, I realized deep down I believed rich people were in some way arrogant and selfish. I was sabotaging the success I said I wanted because I had a value conflict - I didn't want to be that type of person.

Here are 3 things you can do now to become aware of your beliefs around money and start shifting them too.

1. What do you believe about money and success? What were you taught by society, your culture and influential people in your life while growing-up?

2. What would you like to believe instead? What is the new empowered belief you would like to have in place for the old? Repeat this over and over and OVER!!!! You will start to reprogram your subconscious mind by creating new experiences that support this new empowered belief i.e. things will start happening in your external world that support this new belief! YAY!

3. Find role models who are at the level you want to be at, who also share the same values as you. This will help you reframe how you are seeing successful people. As Tony Robbins said, money just magnifies who you are already. If you're an a-hole, it will make you a bigger a-hole. If you're kind and loving, you will spread more love and kindness. I totally agree.

Have fun exploring, and get ready for financial abundance!

PS If you are doing really well in your business, but still always seem to just have enough to get by with your current expenses and lifestyle, there is more digging and shifting to be done.

Unifying the Mind Divided In Christian Life

"A mind that is single and sincere is not interested in being good, in conducting relations with other people so as to live up to a rule. Nor, on the other hand, is it interested in being free, in acting perversely just to prove its independence. Its interest is not in itself, but in the people and problems of which it is aware; these are 'itself'. It acts, not according to the rules, but according to the circumstances of the moment, and the 'well' it wishes to others is not security but liberty."
- Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity (p. 132)

In Christian life, we often find ourselves no farther along the journey of purity and piety than those mature would-be-Christians who have no allegiance to Christ, whatsoever. They seem as gracious as we are, peace-loving and wise, aware of their purpose, connected to people, morally adroit, and even better positioned for admiration because they're not pigeon-holed as hypocritical or judgmental. They're considered and called beautiful persons.

As Christians, we tend to fall for the trap of needing to be seen as set apart in our holiness rather than knowing we are set apart, as a matter of who we are and not for what we do or don't do.

THE PROBLEM OF THE SELF
Christian conversion doesn't solve the problem of the self.

It's the acknowledgement of the sinful self in the benefit received through the acceptance of Christ's redeeming sacrifice - the grace of God as the final restitution of the sinner to the restoring God.

Conversion highlights the problem of the self, and the need to depend on God if progress is to be made on the journey with God.

The journey to God made, which is conversion, the journey with God commences.

Now comes cognisance of the real problem within the problem. There is a barrier that must be overcome; we use our flesh to try to conquer what only reliance on the Spirit will attain.

In Watts' language, we have to get over the "I" and that's probably the revelation that humbles our spiritual pride most. This is the admission that we've not been as miraculously transformed as we'd liked to have been.

Sure, in Christ, we are new creations, but we're not suddenly cured of sin. In fact, we've only begun the journey of reconciling that we'll be fallen sinful persons for the rest of our lives. And what is against us are incorrect assumptions non-Christians make: "Well, he/she is not a very good Christian, are they?" That's the point. There's no such thing, and Christians more ought to know and accept this than anyone. The irony is it's only the converted that understand, so it's to hypocrisy we will continue to be judged.

LOSING THE SELF TO OTHERS AND PURPOSE TO GAIN LIFE
If we're to accept that the Christian life is not so much the negation of the self, but the affirmation of others within the purposes God gives us, then we would lose the prison in finding the key.

This is the concept that the self is subsumed always in something bigger than itself. Indeed, and ideally, the self has become nothing, and can see nothing of itself, for the everything that exists beyond itself.

This is what I think John the Baptist is getting at when he sees he is the friend of the Bridegroom, Jesus: "He must become greater; I must become less." (John 3:30) John's purpose had crystal clear clarity only when Jesus came.

When we arrive at this point in our journey with God, we don't simply obey because it will go well for us if we do.

We obey because our lives are no longer about us; we see that our life is only "abundant" when others' lives are, and when we're lost in our mission that's when we're finally found. But we run off track if we don't encompass this:

It's not a service to others to make us feel good.

It's a service to others where we think less about ourselves.

To this we're called heavenward: the mind is one in passionate pursuit of everything it perceives of love for the people and problems of which it's aware.

Serving others without thinking about what we gain, therefore, is freedom and, ultimately, Jesus' abundant life.

That service, for the simple want of doing it, is what unifies the mind divided and exemplifies a mind integrated.

Hugh Everett and His Path Breaking New Theory of Parallel Universe

It was the American Physicist Hugh Everett III (Birth 11-11-1930 Death: 19-7-1982) who proposed the new path breaking theory of Parallel Universe. He said that the quantum effects cause the universe to constantly split and proposed many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Including Niels Bohr laughed at the 'stupid idea' proposed by him.

It was in 1963 that the great scientist J.B.S. Haldane said that "Theories have four stages of acceptance: 1) this is worthless nonsense; 2) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view 3) this is true, but quite unimportant 4) I always said so."

Arthur Schopenhauer also echoed the same view and said that "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident."

The same thing happened to the Parallel Universe theory. It was ridiculed and opposed by one and all then. And accepted now!

Everett was dejected and altogether he left the Physics and joined Pentagon and did some worthless job!

Later the theory got momentum and scientists like Max Tegmark, Alexander Vilenkin have written their papers in support of Many Worlds Theory.

The brilliant physicist Everett's tapes have been found in the basement of his rock star son's flat. These were thought lost first and later was found out by his son Mark Everett during the making of a TV documentary.

Everett developed this idea at the age of 24. His work tackled one of the most puzzling mysteries to emerge from the field of quantum mechanics. One consequence of the theory is that tiny particles such as electrons can behave in a curious way that allows them to be in two places at once. In one universe the particle appears in one place, while in a second it appears in the other.

Bohr has remarked, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."

Yes, true! Everett rightly understood and interpreted that we are living in a multiverse of countless universes, full of copies of each of us.

It is very interesting to note that Everett has written a letter to Einstein at the age of twelve. He just challenged the highest authority in physics and got a reply also from him. It is learnt that in his letter Everett attempted to solve the paradox of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

This theory ultimately leads to the idea that everyone is immortal. In one universe or other each one of us is living.

Tegmark says even now he is being ridiculed for supporting this idea. He is pointing out the popular joke: "You passed your exam in many parallel universe - but not this one."

But jokes apart, he says surprisingly this idea may be tested. Those who so far said that this could not be tested are baffled now. Time will prove the existence of multiverse.

Perhaps the Xerox of you might have read this article in another universe and wondered as to why should one test it when it is real!

Nagarajan has written more than 3000 articles in Tamil in 18 magazines and published 52 books. He is revealing Eastern Secret Wisdom through T.V. Programmes, magazine articles, seminars, courses. He has covered various subjects in his wide range of articles which include Mantras, Yantras, Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, Astronomy, Space Science, Science and Spirituality, Hollywood cinema, Women's progress, Aura, Significance of Colors, Reincarnation, Divine Geometry, Power of Prayer etc. As an ardent seeker of Truth, he has collected scientific experiments on mantras, mind, Auto suggestion etc. He has written many articles on para psychology also.

Children of Light

Have you ever wondered why the grand battle between good & evil, and light & darkness dominates so many story lines and movie plots? Why are we drawn to these epic clashes between heroes and villains, ultimately hoping that the "good guy" wins and saves the day? I believe it is the internal awareness that there truly is a battle of epic proportions being carried out on the world's stage, and it is the battle for the souls of men and women. There really is a war between light and darkness. Of course, we know that Jesus has already triumphed over evil through the cross. The Light of the World spoiled all the plans of the rulers of darkness...

"Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it [the cross]." Colossians 2:15 (NKJV)

Though the light (Jesus) came into the world and exposed the works of darkness - indeed it was His mission to undo the works of the devil by healing all that were oppressed by him (Acts 10:38) - many remain in darkness, having loved the darkness rather than light. (John 3:18-21)

For all of those that believe in Jesus and receive Him, to them He gives the right to become the children of God. When we hear the anointed truth of God's word and faith comes, and we believe on Jesus, we become God's children - children of light. We are called the "light of the world." We are exhorted to "let our light so shine before men" that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. We are called "children of the light and of the day."

On the flip side there are the "hidden works of darkness" that are carried out by those "whose minds are blinded" by the god of this world - the devil...

"... among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." 2 Corinthians 4:4 (AMP)

So what is this battle about? It is about BELIEFS. What will you believe. Notice Satan has blinded the minds of the "unbelieving." What do these people "not believe?" It is the gospel, or the "almost too good to be true news" of the glory of Christ. The light comes to reveal and expose TRUTH, but the darkness is here to mask and hide the truth so that people believe LIES. In fact, the principalities & powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age have a commander, and he is the "father of lies."

Have you ever wondered why it seems that some people have a supernatural stupor over their minds? It seems that they are completely blind to some things that may seem like common sense to those living in the light of truth. There is a scriptural reason! The Bible says that the whole world lies under the power or influence of the evil one:

"We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]." 1 John 5:19 (AMP)

So how do we win this war? How do the "good guys" (God's sons, soldiers and servants) carry out His mission to seek and save the lost, to set the captive free, to open the eyes of the blind, and heal the broken hearted?

We must be children of light! What do I mean by that? It is our mission to be ambassadors of the kingdom of God, to be "ministers of reconciliation." We do this by "proclaiming the praises of Him who called us out of DARKNESS into His marvelous LIGHT."

We must bring the light of God's truth into every fiber of our being. We must live in truth, walk in truth, share the truth. We are living epistles known and read by men! Wherever we go we bring the light with us, and it only takes a tiny bit of light to chase away a whole lot of darkness.

Now, I'm not talking about beating people over the head with your Bible, or quoting scriptures to them all the time, or telling them that they are living in darkness and sin. I am talking about being a vessel that carries around the glorious goodness of God. We proclaim God's praises by being thankful, being kind to others, walking in love, being forgiving, and sharing God's goodness through our words and actions. When there is an open door, we invite people to come into the light with us, and to taste and see that the Lord is good! Hallelujah!

Let's WAKE UP, redeem the time, and be the light of the world. The souls of men & women hang in the balance!

Kelli Sanders is the founder of Grow in God Ministries, a teaching ministry established for the purpose of helping believers grow to a place of strength and maturity in their walk with the Lord.

Increase Intuition and Psychic Dreams With These 25 Magic Affirmations

You've probably heard about how affirmations can improve your life. Some people claim that you can achieve anything you want with the power of positive thoughts.

Anything? Does that mean you can become an NBA superstar, even though you're 5'5", 50 years old, can't jump or run, and aren't a team player?

Perhaps not. But certainly, your thoughts and focus influence your reality, within the confines of your fate (much of which is set before your birth).

Your fate has a lot to do with your abilities and what you can achieve.

For example, in our many years of empirical research, we've found that one's psychic ability is mostly inborn, just like other talents people possess, such as athleticism, business knowhow, interpersonal skills (including good parenting ability), and musical talent.

Are inborn abilities just chance in a chaotic universe, completely random? Are they "gifts" from some higher power? We don't believe so. Instead, we've found that everything you're good at now, you've practiced many times in past lives. Your inherent skills (and those in which you are deficient) are part of your fate (which is the same thing as destiny).

Fortunately, we've also found that everyone has free will to make the most of their fate and their lives. You may not have what it takes to be a professional athlete, but you can still enjoy the game. It may be that your desire to be a star, if strong enough and you practice enough, will carry over into future lives where you'll finally have your chance.

It's up to you: you can focus on negative thoughts and life's problems that you have no control over, or you can do the opposite and use the power of your mind to transform your life.

Below are 25 magic affirmations to help you be more intuitive and have psychic dreams. The more you repeat one or more to yourself, the more your mind will accept them and play along since the subconscious mind can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

Note: affirmations or subliminal MP3s work using "you" or "I." But, "you" can be more effective for skeptics, and "I" can produce better results if you don't like following direction. Repetition, which is one of the keys with affirmations and subliminal MP3s, will overcome either hurdle.

I am recalling my psychic dreams

I am remembering more of my dreams as time goes on

I write down my dreams as soon as I wake up, which helps me remember them

Remembering my dreams is fun

I am remembering detailed information from my dreams

My dreams are easy to understand

I am able to distinguish between psychic dreams and nonsense dreams

I'm becoming more and more psychic

I'm trusting my psychic impressions

I am accepting my psychic abilities

I am developing my intuition by meditating daily

I am making time to meditate daily

I enjoy meditating

Meditation calms me

Meditation centers me

Meditation rewards me

I am improving my focus in meditation

I trust my intuition

I pay attention to my intuition

I am getting better at reading people

I sense energy from other people

Answers to my questions come to me

I am seeing, hearing, and sensing answers

I am always protected by white Light

I remember to consciously protect myself with white Light

Now that you know your thoughts influence your reality, you can use these affirmations to be more intuitive and have psychic dreams

The Hybrid Mind

Optimistic researchers are suggesting that digital technology is creating the smartest generation yet, freed from limitations of geography, weather and distance - those pesky inconveniences of the physical world. However, other people, such as philosophers and sociologists including many educators, are skeptical of the benefits of technology. They believe that technology alone is detrimental to our overall mental health and well-being.

In order to get the benefits of the digital world, we need nature to help us out. In other words, we can't leave out nature out of the equation and take the time to commune with nature if we are to have a healthy mind and body.

The hybrid mind combines the use of computers to maximize our ability to process intellectual data and natural environments help to ignite our senses and accelerate our ability to learn and feel. So, we need both the digital and nature to have a healthy mind and brain.

The digital era has led to sensory dysfunction. Nature is the way to counteract sensory deprivation and to augment our minds with something that gives us meaning and balance as well as a feeling of well-being and connectedness.

Here are a few ways to counteract our sensory deprivation:
• Take time to be out in nature. Play tennis and badminton with your family and friends. This will get you outside.

• Listen to the birds. Take time to get outdoors, whether it is into your back yard or going out for a walk. Try and name at least two to three different bird songs that you hear along your walk.

• Take a walk in the woods. This will give you a chance to commune with nature in its rawest form. You will be able to bask in the smells and sounds of nature.

• If you are a jogger, make sure that you jog in nature as often as you can. Go to the park or river bank if you live close to one, and run there.

• Choose times to walk when the world is not bustling and busy. Perhaps early morning or evening would be a good choice, depending on where you live. The quieter it is, the more clearly you will hear and commune with nature.

• Have at least four or five picnics every summer. This is another great way of spending time in nature.

By taking these steps, you could be getting the best from nature and you can also get the best out of the digital world by using your devices most efficiently so that you can have time to get out into nature and do the things that you enjoy the most.

Personal Growth Expands Your Comfort Zone

How do you expand your comfort zone? Let's look at some of the things in your past so that you can get clues about how to do what you already do well. Just being aware can help you in expanding your comfort zone!

Expand your comfort zone by adding things in that you do and can do. And as you do, allow your confidence to swell and grow.

Consider who in your life is, say, pleased and delighted with you.

Remember your interactions with those people.

And allow yourself to experience the confidence that you have the ability to interact with those people.

Consider who you've helped along your way as you were going through challenges.

Did you teach someone?

I mean, maybe you cross-country ski now and you taught someone how to do that.

Remember that experience of teaching someone.

And remember that experience of learning some skill. For example, you might play soccer.

You've been coached if you have been playing soccer. Maybe you've coached someone else who needed a boost in their skills.

Remember the good feeling of teaching someone a new skill.

Maybe you've been in business and succeeded and mentored someone.

Remember how it felt good to mentor someone and interact with their view of their problems and help them to see a way out of those problems, towards success.

Maybe you've taken someone who needed to go to the doctor and didn't want to be alone facing bad news.

Remember the support that you gave that person and the confidence which that gave you to support other people.

Maybe there's someone in your family that was struggling and you took them shopping and carried their bags back into their home.

Remember the good feeling of being helpful for someone who you care about. The interaction! The joy that you got from helping. That gives a different kind of confidence that permeates your entire being.

Maybe it's a simple as you took somebody to lunch who needed a friend. And you listened to them. Maybe that gives you the confidence that you don't always have to be the one who's talking. You don't always have to be the one who's doing.

Sometimes it's about listening.

And in listening, responding with a few words of encouragement in the areas that they need encouragement.

And perhaps silence.

In the areas that they need to let go of.

Addicted To The Internet: Not Just For Adolescents

In our hyper-connected world, it can be all too easy to fall into an addiction to something that most of us consider essential to our daily lives: the magical internet. This addiction may take the form of hours spent reading blogs, or following Facebook links and paths, or even just checking email over and over.

Regardless of what form it takes, it may take us a while to recognize it as an addiction at all. Like other addictions, we most likely have denied it and or rationalized it to ourselves, convincing ourselves that we need to check email so frequently so that we don't miss an important business opportunity, or that we need to look on Facebook to keep up with friends and family.

Indeed, that can be one of the hardest things about this addiction - unlike alcohol or drugs, we can't just stay away from it. Even if we are not in an office, the person next to us on their phone or I-pad makes us reach for our cell phone in response, as if we, too, are important.

So how do you know if you are addicted? Like any addiction, do you recognize that your phone or I-pad or computer use have become a problem at work, or interfered with your family time? Have there been arguments with friends or family? Have you missed appointments, work, or time with family because you were on the internet instead?

So how can we start to stop the addiction?
We can start by getting some success in concrete ways. Perhaps decide on times that you will turn the phone off- maybe after getting home for work or during family time. Start small here. We don't want to start off with "I'm not going to go on my phone all day", but perhaps just going from five to ten minutes between checking email or Facebook.

Another tip is to reach out and get support from people who "get it ". Do you have a close friend or relative who understands? Be careful who you choose here- this needs to be someone who recognizes that it is an addiction, and is willing to help you through those difficult times.

Unlike alcohol or drugs, it's unlikely in our modern age that you can go "cold turkey" from the internet. Learning to recognize your thoughts around it and getting a sense of where you can feel comfortable turning it off is very important.

A great psychologist or psychotherapist can really help, too. Recognizing the addiction and helping you to find a positive space within to overcome the fears and anxiety that come up are a specialty of Nassau Guidance's counselors.

The earlier in the addiction that it's recognized, the easier it is to shift it or work through it. We have great success with clients on working through this (and other) addictions, and hope that you will reach out to us.

My wish for you to today is for you to become aware of your time spent in front of these magical screens.

Empower Your Eyes and Ears to Tune Into What Works Best in Your World of Daily Events

***Anytime you wish to do something for your betterment, keep it to yourself, that's until your concept is fully realized or you have a plan in motion. I wish that I could say that people, friends and family are always wanting the best outcome for us, as well as for themselves, but I would be remiss if I made such a blanket statement.

Learning to rely on your own opinion and listening to yourself is more important these days than anything else. It's okay to get opinions, from others, in off-handed events, though going to another for approval, counsel or inclusion is a bad decision. Be empowered MORE by what your heart feels is correct, done in justice, or with what resonates with your individual way of thinking and achieving your goals.

Goals are individual. And while goals are individual, let's also know that UNLESS you are depriving another person of their rights, or of their right to decide what to do with their own property, or as long as you aren't committing a crime, you have the right to do whatever you wish. Nobody has the right to steal from another or to exploit property for unjust enrichment, especially if you are not the owner of origin,if it NEVER belonged to you. With all of those disclaimers disclosed, I want you to know that you are empowered to do whatever it is that makes you happy! Seeking improvement or betterment of oneself is best accomplished by acknowledging or recognizing that you deserve to experience or attain your desires.

Betterment of oneself is analyzing your past actions and focusing your intention to begin, continue or to cease doing what you are doing, especially it is not bringing you the results that you seek. If for example you really like writing and doing some reading, but you are a lousy writer who struggles with grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, yet you don't want to hire an editor, then I suggest you find another field of choice. Another example: Say you enjoy singing and get inspired by the sounds of nature, put some lyrics together, start writing songs, and be assured that one day you will be happy and content with your accomplishment.

Be supportive of your own inborn joys and talents. If your effort needs fixing, correcting or review, then if you can't do that, hire someone to do the finishing touches, of your project, for you. Empower yourself to be in tune with what works best for you!

Car mechanics are very shrewd people and have an amazing way of listening to automobile sounds and are readily able to assess a car's condition. Like a medical physician would do, they are able to tune into a car's problem(s) by listening to the car. Mechanics are readily listening to the cars' normal sounds, sounds coming from moving missing or worn-out parts, or clanking noises coming from the engine. I call mechanics car doctors, they simply are outstanding and empowered by their perception and insight. Auto technicians are experts at fixing or repairing parts and engines, attained over many repairs or many years of experience. Empowered by practicing their trade,memorizing past sounds and recalling situations when an automobile was/ wasn't operating correctly. Empower your eyes and ears to tune into what works best in your world of daily events.

I could readily name so many industries that empower their employees to use their senses to fix problems, or to be of service. Sales people, of any industry, are competent and knowledgeable about the goods and services that they sell. They are empowered to educate consumers, patrons or large corporations to make the proper selection between what one competitor offers, distinguishing the difference, between one company's quality, product or service over others.

People are drawn to other empowering people, so feel empowered by your knowledge or wisdom! The more you share your light of joy or wisdom with others, the more you empower another to share their acknowledgement, support, or appreciation back to you! It's called the circle of empowerment- May the empowerment of kind acts, or deeds circle back to you, in as much effort, as you released to the world around you! May you reap the product of your deeds in the same or greater measure! Any worthwhile empowered, kind, loving heartfelt act, attracts the same kindness back to the source!~

I enjoy learning from you and from others continuously!

We Shall Not Regret The Past (Nor Wish To Shut The Door On It)

We're engaged in an uncivil war.
In this time of fake news, and with even "real" news regurgitating complete falsehoods, it's too easy to get taken off course by things that are deliberately designed to evoke an emotional reaction.

It's exhausting and distracting and makes even the most enlightened of us forget that we're Consciousness, we're Infinite Beings creating our reality.

Trump's heralding in a new age.
We are actually in a time of clearing and healing. There is greater Light in the world and it is revealing the most repressed darkness. All the ugliness that has come to the surface is being cleaned. Your home always looks worse when you're deep cleaning.

It's triggering each of us at our very core. It's bringing up childhood memories and generational miasma. You can't take this baggage with you to the next level of evolution.

Even as we are inspired to take action, we're disempowered by our own"stuff". We are at war in our minds, we have insane cabinet members in our heads who threaten to destroy the different departments of our lives.

The news may trigger us, but we're creating our own drama and feeding it with our thoughts. When we stop fighting in ourselves or wrestling with scenarios, we can take clear action.

Years ago I was married to a covert cocaine addict. In order to regain my sanity, I needed to learn to detach from the emotional roller coaster. I made up my own slogan: "Don't React Dramatically - Even If It Seems Dramatic."

If I am triggered, if I am reacting with strong feelings, I am not in present time. I am engaging with a lie. What I am perceiving is not the truth.

I have lost control and I am fighting with the illusion.

We're powerless over the illusion and we're powerless over other people's insanity. We're powerless over what they say and what they tweet and what they sign. But we're not powerless over our own voices, our own votes, and our own actions. We just feel powerless when wrestling with the insanity rather than the solution.

Where Real Power is.
We can regain our internal power in several ways. First, by stepping back and not engaging with crazy people or crazy headlines. Take time to respond rather than react. Take a break from the noise, turn off your devices and take a walk.

I always reconnect with Consciousness when I'm out in nature, even if it is just noticing trees on city streets. There is a power greater than Faux news. And You, at your Essence, are this power.

When you're reconnected within, you become clear at what your choices are and how you can contribute.

Because this time is not calling us to be in denial or to go back into our caves or bubbles. It is calling us to be fully in our bodies and to participate. You can take truly empowered action when you're aligned with yourself as Consciousness.

The Bigger Picture of What Is Going On.
The birth of a new era requires expansion and contraction. Progress experiences ebbs and flows. This feels like the past because we're at a new level of releasing those old patterns. After we've cleaned the kitchen and the living room, we go upstairs. Just because the bedrooms and bathrooms are dirty doesn't mean we haven't been cleaning, we're just on a new floor.

We're not going to back to Nazi Germany because we're America and our basic foundational pattern is freedom. We're seeing these shadows of the past because they've come to the surface to be cleared.

We have checks and balances and we have an inherent sense of our rights. There's more collective empowerment in this country than 1920's and 1930's Europe knew. You cannot control a country founded on rebellion.

Remind yourself that this is 2017, bring yourself into the present moment. In Present Time you are fully connected with yourself as Consciousness. This is where you can transform your reality.

This is where we shall not regret the past (nor wish to shut the door on it). Let the baggage of the past be archived. It's not forgotten, it's acknowledged as useful building blocks to where you are now.

I leave you with the Work of Byron Katie. There's great revelations and relief in this video.

Happiness and Joy Are Neither Exclusive or As Elusive As You Might Think!

***Remember having the ability to find joy in anything? A simpler time- Do you recall when looking forward to sleeping late on Friday evening and Saturday morning was a real treat? Eating ice cream on Sunday, after church services and bible school, was a joyful event most coveted by you as a child? Well, maybe that's more of my memory than yours, though you get the picture, I'm sure! Appreciating simple things is a way that I like to remember what events brought me joy and happiness as a young, school-age child.

Living in simpler times, when it was a breeze, like a blink or a sneeze to find joy by accomplishing the most mundane of things- Joy was so much easier to attain as a kid. I remember when you could command a happy engaging attitude from just a small habit or ritual. Whether a memory, a family tradition, habit or way of rewarding oneself, do things in child-like ways, to bring joy back to yourself again! It does not take a vast amount of resources, materials, or money to obtain or purchase goods or service that you seek to engage, to start, or for you to partake and enjoy a happy, joyful expression, or at least, it shouldn't. NO!

Commanding happiness and joy can be as simple as watching and counting the many different number and amount of winter birds flying over your house. ( I ENJOY NATURAL OCCURRENCES AND MIGRATORY ACTION- I can WATCH it for hours) JoyFUL events can be attained by baking a chocolate cake from scratch and sharing with friends or family. How about dancing? Get happy by dancing to nostalgic music or by playing the piano, just like you did as a child! Enjoy washing your own car, doing it the old-fashioned way, not by going to the drive-through car wash. Once you get the tires and rims shiny, buff the exterior, clean your upholstery with leather cleaner, add a scented figurine and station it on your dashboard or console; the senses get happy by the energy and joy you extended to your automobile.

It's in the simple acts, of your own accomplishments, and effort, kindness or improvement that you can extend or gain contentment. Your input towards improving your own environment requires for you to participate in doing something for your own enjoyment. Do things habitually that bring you cause for joy and celebration. Celebrate at any time of day or night. Eat birthday cake, even when it's not your birthday. Share a dinner plate with your retired neighbor, while it's still fresh and hot. Tell them you wanted an excuse to come by and visit them.

Joy is neither as exclusive or as elusive as you might think. As always, happiness is more of a channel that you alone choose to dial, there's no right or wrong station, it's more about the mental state of joy that is sought. Joy is felt through what you engage, partake or express. You emit vibrations of joy and happiness to your heart and bring joy to yourself! The joyful vibration of contentment is all within each and everyone to express.

Express contentment daily, and often. Watch the contentedness of the world around you appreciate the heartfelt energy that you emitted- feel it circle back to you! We all know, love and seek happy people! Seek happy people daily, you can easily recognize their joyful, contagious voice and character. The LOUD BOOM, BOOM BEAT of a healthy, happy heart rhythm beating joyfully is so contagious, soothing and exciting that you want to express your happiness and excitement with another living, breathing soul! Animals enjoy happy people too! Doesn't your dog or cat's heartbeat get you happy when you share your affection with them?

I enjoy learning from you and from others offering me knowledge continuously!

Why Do Some People Lose The Ability To Think Clearly When They're Part Of A Movement?

In today's world, it is not going to be hard for someone to find a movement to join, and this is down to the fact that there are so many. Now, this is not to say they didn't exist in the past; what it comes down to is that the internet has made it easier to find out about them.

Two Ways
If one was to use social media, they could end up finding out about a number of movements. This could be the result of what one of their friends has shared, or it could be due to what is trending.

Through coming across something here, they could soon feel compelled to get involved with what they see. Alternatively, one could go onto a search engine, and look for something that interests them.

Another Way
Yet, if one was at work or if they were a student, they could end up hearing other people talk about what they are involved with. In fact, they could even ask one if they would like to get involved.

Therefore, even if one didn't hear about something online, it is not necessarily going to leave them out in the cold, so to speak. In addition to this, there are the more traditional ways of hearing about things.

The News
If one was to watch the news, read the paper or to listen to the radio, they could hear about a movement. For example, if a protest had just taken place somewhere, it could end up being covered by the media.

Upon hearing about this, it could end up going in one ear and out of the other, or they could feel the urge to know more. If this is the case, they can just go online and take a deeper look.

Something for Everyone
If they want to join a movement that is taking place in their country, they can, but if they want to join an even bigger one, this will also be an option. When it comes to what they are drawn to, it could be something that is affecting them directly, or it could relate to something that they believe needs to change.

When it comes to something that is directly having an impact on them, they might not want to wait around. This could then be something that has been having a negative effect on their life for as long as they can remember.

Another Experience
On the other hand, if it related to something that they believe needs to change, they may have only just become aware of it. Perhaps one of their friends pointed it out to them, or they might have heard about it whilst they were at university, for instance.

But regardless of this, they are going to be drawn to a movement, and the sooner they can do something about what is taking place, the better it will be for them. And, while this could become another part of their life, it could end up becoming their whole life.

A New Identity
How one sees themselves can be defined by the movement they have joined, and this will then influence how they perceive the world. One way of looking at this will be to say that it will be as if they have put on special glasses, and these will influence what they do or don't see.

And, what this can do is make it easier for them to notice things that are not right, and this can then increase their sense of injustice. It can then be clear to them that the world is not right, and that they are doing the right thing.

Reality
However, what this can cause them to overlook is the fact that they are not simply observing reality. What they expect to experience is going to play a big role in what they actually experience.

This is not to say that one is standing up for something that doesn't exist and that the world is perfect; what it shows is that the mind will find what is has been programmed to find. Thus, through focusing on a problem, it will be normal for one to have more experiences that validate what they believe.

Out of Balance
If one is not aware of this, they can come to believe that their experiences prove how bad something is. Yet, what it can show is that they are simply blocking out anything that goes against what they believe.

It is then not that one is being exposed to how bad something is; it is that this is what they are choosing to see. One is then not going to be interested in getting a balanced perspective of what is taking place; they just want to be right.

Playing Their Part
When it comes to making a difference, they won't need to be around others or to join a demonstration; they can simply share things on social media. They could start their own blog, make videos, and they could even start a petition.

If they want to connect to other people who are also part of the same movement, they can go onto a forum or message them online. And while this will allow then to make new friends, they could also lose some of their old friends.

Different
One of their old friends may have found that they are no longer the same as they were before, and they might wonder what has happened to them. In their eyes, they could believe that one is no longer in touch with reality, and they might even see them as suffering from paranoid delusions.

Through being so caught up in a movement, it is no longer going to be possible for them to think clearly. As to why they can't think clearly, there will be at least two things that will need to be considered: the effect the movement is having on them, and what their mental and emotional health was like before they got involved.

A Closer Look
When one is part of a movement, it can cause them to feel: connected, empowered, and as though they belong. This can then pump them up and, when they believe they are standing up for the right thing, they can experience a sense of being morally superior.

Through being in this state, their mind is going to be closed to anything that goes against what they believe, and they will be high on emotions. If they had mental and emotional challenges to begin with, this can also make it harder for them to think clearly.

Conclusion
It could be said that the ideal it will be for someone to look into why they want to join a movement before they actually join one. This will give them the opportunity to see how their inner world is effecting how they experience the outer world.

As if they simply ignore what is taking place within them and end up trying to change what is taking place externally, they could end up doing more harm than good. They may have had the intention to have a positive effect on the world, but they will simply be adding their own mess to a world that is already incredibly messy.
