251. What We Can Do to Transform our World On Purpose By Brad Swift
     I recently read an interview of Marianne Williamson as she discussed her new book, The Gift of Change. During the interview she talked about the happenings around 9/11 and that we had an opportunity to engage in an authentic inquiry into such questions as, "Why do these people hate us?" Unfortunately, instead, we then turned away from the inquiry and chose a path of fear instead.But perhaps it's not too late to engage in the inquiry again. As I started to do this for myself what came up was q…



252. Significance of Colors in Feng Shui practice
     Have you ever wondered what feelings do you have when you look at bright red rose in the garden? Can you imagine if a garden that does not have colorful flowers but only the green foliage? Early in the morning when you see a newly opened flower in your garden, your heart is filled with joy and happiness. Each flower in the garden has a different color and hue that affects you differently. While the white lily touches your soul for its serenity, the red rose with its vibrant energy elicits a feel…



253. Are You Sad?
     Are You Sad? by John Cali Being back here in the part of New York State where I grew up has reminded me of a few things I'd almost forgotten. Among those nearly forgotten things is western New York's weather. This time of year (fall and winter, for those of you living in other climates) the skies are often grey for days on end, and with seemingly endless rain and snow storms. There's even a name (thanks, I guess, to our medical experts) for a radical mood change some folks experience due to the …



254. The Final Chapter By Audrina J. Bunton
          Several months ago, I read an article about a 22 year old, successful young lady who died a premature death in a plane crash. The more I read this article, the heavier my heart became because she died in the midst of her formative years. Equally tear-jerking was the fact that she died before completing a book that she was writing -- before completing her final chapter.      Right now, your book is being written -- and you are the author. Every moment that passes, every day that appears an…



255. The Power Of Letting Go By Rebbie Straubing
     When the tightly packed petals of the rosebud let go, the rose blossoms.I have found that confusion often clouds the subject of letting go. Many dedicated seekers of spiritual truth seem to stumble on this point. We all let go naturally to a certain extent. We let go and allow life force to flow. We release our hold and let the divine forces act in our lives. Good always comes from this.We all resist it, too. We try to control everything. We attempt to orchestrate the divine unfolding from our…



256. My Search for the Truth By Barbara Phillips
     I am a Falun Dafa practitioner.  Maybe you’ve heard about the persecution of Falun Dafa (or Falun Gong) practitioners in China.  Over the past five years, many people have been committed to mental institutions, tortured, detained, imprisoned, and even killed, simply for refusing to give up this practice.  Unfortunately, most Americans don’t know about this situation, or they’ve been given a negative impression, and so the persecution goes on.  My intention is to give my impression of Falun Daf…



257. Quick Reference Guide for Tarot Card Meanings By Jennifer Dunne
     Obviously, if you really want to learn about the meanings of the tarot cards and use them well, you'll spend time studying them and understanding the nuances of each card's interpretation. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a cool party game and want to impress your friends, this "cheat sheet" should provide you enough of a clue about each card's meaning that you can fake your way through a reading. And who knows -- once you loosen up and relax, you may surprise yourself!The Major Arcan…



258. God Lives Under the Bed By Carolina Fernandez
     “Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."Tough week. The memorial service of ten-year-old Chantal, marital troubles of one of my dearest friends, a 5-days-in-a-row week of brutal chemo for Nick, and the shocking news that his doctor’s own 15-year-old daughter has a brain tumor, plunged me into despair which I have not felt in months. My wings are too heavy to soar. Traveling under a storm cloud has certainly curtailed my usual “zip-a-dee-d…



259. Forgiveness By Kim Bloomer
     "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32, NIVI know, I always use animal photos in my visual aids and use them as examples in my writings but they are my gift and my passion! Besides, they can always show us how forgiveness works, can't they? You can be angry with them and they'll still shower you with love. Our God in heaven is like that. He forgives us if we but ask Him to and are repentant in our hearts. The funny th…



260. Kachina Doll By Jeremiah P. Huck
     To a shaman a kachina isn't really a doll or a child's toy. Also, it isn't a collector's piece of art or a decoration. However, it is often used that way, and that's ok too. There is a place for that approach in our lives. They do make a powerful addition to any home's decor, and make a great conversation piece. So, if you are a history buff, especially American history, a kachina collection is most appropiate. Kachinas origionally came from the Hopi and Navajo tribes in the American Southwest…



261. Recognizing Self By Roy Klienwachter
     I come face to face with self whenever you come into my life and I want to thank you.I always maintain that I am writing these articles, my books and creating the website for myself. It is my way of expressing myself physically and to demonstrate where I am along my chosen path and it is my sign post that says this is me and this is where I am. I learn by teaching and writing about what I want to learn, the articles that I write help me to grow spiritually. For the most part the articles that …



262. The Science of Enlightenment By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     I would like to share my experience, working with the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP), a new modality to achieving personal mental, emotional, physical and spiritual fulfillment, of the meaning of the term "enlightenment".MRP is a simple yet profound tool that helps an individual clear their bio-field of negativity i.e. memories, beliefs, perceptions, habits etc. As an individual experiences such clearing they are often left with a palpable feeling of lightness (i.e. as in greater buoyancy an…



263. The Surrender of the Ego By Edwin Spina
     Almost everyone knows someone that professes to "know everything." These people are never wrong, seldom accept advice and once they stake out a position, they will do anything to defend it. At best, they are perfectionists. At worst, they can become delusional as they fight to avoid being wrong by reinterpreting events that would otherwise cast them in a negative light.Most people with large egos are reasonably successful. Their followers stroke their egos, which makes them difficult to deal w…



264. Jesus: The Greatest Scapegoat By Kelly Gorski
     It seems more people today are using the Christian god concept as a medication, a solution to all problems, and/or a drug that eases the most difficult of conflicts. The need for a god has never been more prominent than it is today. I was searching some things online earlier and found several sites dedicated to teens and Christ, and it seems that most of these sites were working within the ideology of "If you're hurting, let God help."It’s comforting to think that there is something beyond hum…



265. The Death of God, the Mission of Modern Psychology, and Me By P J Smith
     The question, "Is God Dead?", first entered my consciousness when I was ten or eleven years old. I saw it on the cover of a Life magazine, and it's lingered in my mind ever since. At the time, though, I wasn't too concerned with His possible demise. I had pretty much determined that God lived inside each of us. No matter how hard I tried, I hadn't been able to find God in the lukewarm rituals of the Protestant faith. Instinctively, I knew God wasn't dead, He was just hiding within each of us, …



266. Why You Do Need a Spiritual Master
     The First Challenge on the Spiritual Path Let me be honest with you. It took 25 years to get the answer of my first big dilemma: Do I need a Master on my spiritual journey? And finally I got it. One year later I realized that the answer was wrong. Keep on reading. That may save you a quarter of a century. My first decision about the spiritual Master was: I don't need a Master. I am a grown person and I have all the power and knowledge to complete my spiritual journey alone. I was so proud that …



267. The Slippery Halls of Perspective. By Aaron Mcnaught
     As we walk these halls of Life viewing the world and ourselves through our limited and often times limiting perspectives, who can really fathom the depth of another? Didn’t we all at one time believe in Santa Clause? Didn’t we all believe at one time, that when we closed our eyes we disappeared? Didn’t we all used to believe we were the center of the world? Where did those perspectives go? Are we now sure that we have it ‘really right’, or are we still clutching at temporary viewpoints and tra…



268. Zen and Peace (The Road To Lasting Harmony) By Dr. Brenda Shoshanna
     Presently, many of us live in uncertainty. Due to the world situation and the many changes in society, there is a sense that at any time, our lives may be disrupted. Rather than allow this to cause anxiety, it can be viewed as a wonderful teacher coming to wake us up. This insecurity causes us seek another way of finding peace, one that is not based upon external conditions but that comes from within. No matter what is going on in our lives, it is possible to live from another vantage point,…



269. Choose Life or Death By Vivian Gordon
     No one, not even God can make us choose the right things. He gave us the freedom of choice where our own lives are concerned. Life is full of choices. Many of them which we assume will give us life are really only secondary to what our whole purpose is.The world tells us we need careers, we need education, we need marriage, children, we need to be able to afford the very best of what life has to offer. In other words, we need to make ourselves "feel" fulfilled, even at the expense of h…



270. Past Life Recall - For Greater Understanding Of Our Being
     Past life recall is one of the most interesting areas of unexplained human phenomena, although scientific methods have not yet been able to prove or disprove it, the evidence on past live recall is compelling. Many people believe it can lead to a greater understanding of ourSelves and this is why more people than ever are trying past life recall. There are enough striking examples of past life recall to make the subject of interest to a great number of people worldwide, who want to underst…



271. Lonely Photos By Wayne Wirs
     After first seeing my photography, people often try to understand the man behind the lens. "I'll bet he is..." Lonely. Sad. Depressed. Tortured. Lives alone. About the work itself, it is often quite positive, but about my personal life? Wayne Wirs is invariably... misunderstood.It is true, that as of this writing, I live alone, but as for the rest - I seem to suffer those burdens far less than most. As a serious spiritual seeker, I naturally had to travel through those dark lands of Sadness, D…



272. The Spirituality of Pigeons! By Samantha Thurlby-Brooks
     I was walking down the street the other day, walking around the pigeons and saying “good morning” to them when it dawned on me just how precious they are to the lives of city slickers.How many of us have a dislike for these feathered creatures? I often see children chasing pigeons round in circles until they fly away. Once, when I was walking down a street in Oxford, I saw a very smartly dressed man, step down off the curb to chase a pigeon a few feet down the road! Why is it we have such an a…



273. Vacation Pilgrimage By Gregory Bonney
     I heard recently on a Christian radio station somebody talking about turning a vacation into a pilgrimage or a sabbath time, an opportunity to get closer to God. The speaker said that there is no word in ancient languages equivalent to the word "vacation". While I don't think that's true (the word has it's origins in the Latin), I would agree if she had said that ancient people probably did not generally have time for vacationing since they were often more preocuppied with daily survival. T…



274. Mankind's Ten Worst Enemies: #5 Undisciplined Tongue By Saundra L. Washington
     Controlling what we say from moment to moment is perhaps the most daunting challenge of Christian living. What you say and what you do not say are equally important. Freedom of speech in God’s economy is not only saying the right words at the right time and in the right tone of voice, but it is also controlling the desire to say what should not be said.Some of us have acid tongues and we seem to specialize in verbal genocide. The undisciplined tongue can do terrible damage. Angry outbursts, cu…



275. Life - A Child is Born By Teow Aun Chew
     With the sunrise and the sunset, every minute a child is born. The first cry seems to be joyful to the parents' ears, yet a cry of suffering one knows not. With every new born, death is seen, but where he goes to is a mystery to all. Not knowing where one comes from, one will not know why one comes to this plane, neither will one know of where to return.Life in its meaning looks simple enough, but what really is life and what is the purpose of one's return? Recycle has been spoken from time to…

2. Following a Spiritual Path By Dave Ferruolo
In these days of Spiritual rebirth, there are many sages of knowledge, who willingly and lovingly profess their doctrines of light and love. It is sometimes easy to get lost in the whirlwind of information provided by new age authors, spiritual teachers and of course the Internet. As a seeker of Truth myself, I know the difficulty of sifting through piles of books and browsing endless web pages to find what is right for me.
