276. Connecting to the Spirit of Your Home By Christan Hummel
     Connecting With the Spirit of the Land Prior to starting this session, begin by invoking the assistance of your Soul Angelic Presence by saying what has been called “the Soul Mantra” “I am the Soul I am the Light Divine I am Love I am Will I am Fixed Design” This gets the attention of the Soul Principle. It is the aspect of you that exists on higher dimensional realms of consciousness--your Higher Self, which is really doing this work.Preparing for Your Session Once you are ready to get start…



277. When Your Back is Against the Wall By Ann Stewart
     Is your back smack up against the wall? You can go no further and you’re feeling trapped. You feel like there is no way out of your dilemma with no one to help you. You’ve tried everything within your power and now you’re desperate.Whom can you turn to now? Maybe you’ve heard of God doing miraculous things for certain people, but you’re not sure about all that. It all could have been coincidence, the medicine, or lucky circumstances that made those things come to pass for others. It could also…



278. Is Your Soul Breathing? By Amita Sinha
     God made humans in his image but these days very few of them lead a God fearing life. Environment is the main cause of changes in a human being. People you meet on a day today basis and the surroundings you are in contribute in the making of your mental structure. The general apathy, unreliability, attitude and behavior of each and every human being affects the nation. Every human should strive for self-improvement. This is an exercise of the mind.These are a few steps, which I believe can hel…



279. Carelessness By Kim Bloomer
     "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisors make a victory sure." --Proverbs 11:14, NIVLove, that is the one thing that is above the law. Every single thing we do always affects someone else. This past summer my family was at the First Holy Communion of my little nephew. I am not a Catholic although I grew up as one. I have chosen a non-denominational Christian Bible-based church for my worship and fellowship. What if I had decided not to go to my nephew's First Holy Communion tho…



280. A People in Exile (Part 2) By Saundra L. Washington
     Mother Nature has this uncanny tendency to turn upon herself – undoing with her left hand what she has made with her right. She sends hailstorms to the destruction of her own blossoms. She unleashes a tempest upon the crop that she herself has ripened for the harvest. Lightning splits the trees that she has nurtured and sets the forest aflame.Nature is no believer in disarmament because the birds prey upon the insects and worms. The glowworm feeds upon the snail. There is no kindness in the se…



281. Read This Article if You Are Scared of Evil By Lance Winslow
     Are you scared, fearful and afraid of Evil? You should be because the law of opposites is known throughout our Universe. You see we know there is good, we can see and feel it. We feel love and we understand the power of it. But for that very reason we feel good, we know their must be bad and evil. We often here about evil people, sometimes we hear the word Sub-human attached, as they cannot possibly be like us and human, they are too despicable and nasty for that. How can they be like us? Well…



282. Pebbles of Wisdom By Kathy Armstrong
     Coming face to face with yourself in the space between the beginning and end of the transitions in your life is a scary place to be. Going backward in not an option. Going forward is just as unimagineable without a road map. It's where your soul meets the devil. It's where hope and hopelessness are synonomous. You come face to face with your demons as your self protective ego runs scampering into the darkness realizing she no longer fools you with her grandiose schemes and plans. And wit…



283. Why Sit Here Until I Die? By Audrina J. Bunton
     The bible tells a story about four men who sat at the entrance of the city's gate dying with leprosy, an incurable disease which causes terribly visible swelling and sores on the skin, only then to eat inward to the bones. Because of this contagious and incurable disease, these lepers sat outside of the city because they were not permitted to live within the city. These men were faced with a fatal disease, were outcasts, and were starving because of a feminine in the land. Such a hopeless life…



284. Yoga is a Journey, Not a Destination
     If you wish to know how you are doing in your practice - look at your reactions - look at your life. Unless we connect 'off' the mat, bringing our practice into daily life, then any insights and breakthroughs will be of no great value. You may be great at practising yoga on the mat, or sitting quietly in a room - But how are you at practising it in your relationships - with your mother, your son, your neighbour, your boss? As you will your body on the yoga mat to let go of tension and stress, do…



285. Life is Like a Living Pendulum By George Lockett
     The duality of life and the path we walk.We live in a field of opposing forces and our appreciation of this is our experience of life. We see this field as pairs of opposites, for example, hot and cold, up down, in out, happiness sadness, good evil and right wrong.But usually we experience these opposites in varying degrees, which makes them more like a pendulum swinging on a fulcrum.We then need to ask where are we?If our awareness is based at the fulcrum, then we experience all that living b…



286. Taking Care of Yourself
     With the 2006 calendar year about to dawn on us, our thoughts are turning to resolutions for the new year. You know -- all those good intentions we wanted to put into action in 2005, but never got around to. When I was younger, I would make a written list of good intentions and resolutions for each new year. January 1 arrived and I'd be so enthusiastic about the exciting new year when all my dreams would come true. Then January 2 arrived and . . . well, you know the rest. Do New Year's resolutio…

288. I'll Be Dammed By Vivian Gordon
     A stagnant body of water contains poisons and toxins that can bring certain death. It's natural to say you would not drink from it. But what a beautiful sight to see a sparkling, pristine body of water that flows freely. It gives life, it's refreshing and most of all it's essential to survival. One of the most beautiful displays of this is a free flowing water fall. Have you ever wondered where all that water comes from? It's a never ending source as it continues to feed other bodies o…



289. God - A Thousand Words Wasted By Debarshi Kanjilal
     Who is God? This question would sound awkward to 80% of us. Moreover, this question would infuriate all of this 80%. I though, do not have any intentions to hurt or disrespect their sentiments. As for the residual 20%, some people do not believe in God and the rest would like to believe in God but do not find any reason why to do so. Let’s talk.Who created this Earth? If we do not try to explain it scientifically, the most obvious answer would be God. Now, since we all are part of this world, …



290. Without My Wings!
     This Brittney Spears song inspires this chapter every time you see my thoughts on this great song, I believe you are going to love it. When an angel loses his or her wings, do they really fall to earth? Can they make the transition to life like the one they have never seen before? Will the world allow them to enter it or will they be swallowed completely whole? Some believe that their mate is an angel, I think they really feel that they are from heaven and are waiting in that special moment wher…



291. Who Has Time to Meditate? - A Meditation Technique for the Dynamic Personality
     There are probably as many ways to meditate as there are people who do it. I've heard so many people say, 'Oh, I can't meditate. I've tried, but it never works.' Yet these people still try from time to time because they want to achieve the peace of mind they've been told will be theirs. This is especially true for chronic worriers, Type-A personalities, and other energetically-minded people. Our methods of processing information are unique for each of us, and individuality is, in fact, a natur…

293. Lance Armstrong had it Right-- Every Second Does Counts! By Greg Ryan
     I have been counseling people on weight loss, exercise efficiency and nutrition for over twenty years. Every time I go to the gym I observe people, their training tactics and their workout habits. Over the last few years I have noticed something about certain people in the gym that has been interesting. You would think more people would do this but they don’t. What I have noticed is certain people have a habit or process they go through when they workout that most do not. What is interesting i…



294. The Gaian Paradigm Part 7 -- Belonging By Bill Ellis

295. A People in Exile (Part 1) By Saundra L. Washington
     Second Isaiah, so called because his book of prophecy was affixed to Isaiah’s, had the ability to interpret events in the light of the fundamental conviction that God was the supreme director of all movements of history. He spent most of his life proclaiming to his people, their deliverance and restoration. It was all so certain to this prophet that he saw it already accomplished. The power of religion has seldom been more beautifully expressed. The prophet’s own experience; his own enthusiasm…



296. Small Things By Linda Van Fleet
     When my dad was nearing the end of his life he began searching his heart to see if there was anything left undone - some unconfessed sin, a misdeed, anything at all he needed to make right before he faced God. He constantly prayed that the Holy Spirit would bring to his remembrance anything he needed to make right with his fellowman. It was during this time that he came across a rusty old garden tiller at the edge of his garden. It belonged to a farmer down the road who had sold it to Dad, but…



297. Four Voices By Daniel N. Brown
     The Bible tells us that we must be led by the Holy Spirit. Since there are always four voices we hear speaking to us at any given time, we must learn to distinguish each one so that we are able to do the right things.1. The most obvious voice is our own and it speaks to us in a variety of ways. It is always telling us what we want, what we think, and what we feel. The Bible refers to our mind, will, and emotions as our "flesh nature."2. Another voice that clamors for our attention is the voice…



298. Do Unto Others Marketing By Diana Kennedy
     We’ve all heard the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Did you know that this little proverb is also found in all the world’s major religions? From the New Testament we read, All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:1.As individuals, we intend to put this into practice and many times we succeed. Have you ever encountered businesses that you wished followed this axiom? What about…



299. Leaving Storyville By Wayne Wirs
     One of the most difficult barriers to overcome on the path to spiritual growth is extracting yourself from the tenacious grip of the Ego Story. Unsuspectingly, many people are mesmerized and possessed by this mental illusion. Possessed like some demon possesses a poor, hapless soul. They are ignorant of their ignorance. They do not realize they are separate. They believe that they are the Story.The robin, on an early spring morning, spies a worm burrowing into the soil. Two creatures - the bir…



300. Let There Be Peace on Earth
     How many of us pray for peace, become involved in organizations that promote peace and, through our spiritual practices, advocate peace? Many of us certainly do yet, despite our efforts, we seem to move from one war to another, from one act of terrorism to another. As we become more technologically advanced, so do our methods of war. We appear to be more intelligent as a species than a thousand years ago, so why are we still fighting, why are we still at war? Yes, we can blame conflicting conce…

2. Resisting Temptation - The JESUS Way By Erik Carter
One thing that Jesus was NOT - was flashy. When He cured someone, it was with a touch. When He spoke, the crowds came to Him. And when He resisted the Devil - it was through the simple mechanisms of fasting, prayer, and Scripture. These are things each of us can do daily or weekly, which fits completely with Jesus's advice to not put on a public display. Your life - your resistance to temptation - will be all the display you need.In the Gospels, the best known examples of Jesus facing and …

3. Look! It's Another New Age! By Lois Grant-Holland
There's nothing new about "the new age" except the attitude of the souls participating in it. I bet every soul who chose to incarnate into this particular historical era shook their little energy heads and said, "Oh, no! Not again!"Spiritual enlightenment is the very purpose of life as thinking, feeling human beings here on the planet Earth. The path to spiritual enlightenment is different for every soul, in every lifetime, depending on what lessons they've already learned in other lifetimes a…
