526. How do You Know If You Have Psychic Ability? By John Gaydon
     I am sure many of you reading this article have pondered on this subject. Are some people simply born with a special gift or is this an acquired skill all of us can learn.Let me tell you my story.I was raised in a Christian household and had an aptitude for all things mechanical, so much so I became a technician and computer expert. Hardly an ideal back ground for a Clairvoyant! I hated art so much I ended up in detention every week for not completing my art homework, because I hated it and sa…



527. Drawing on the Energies at Ancient Sites and Areas in Nature that Are Spiritually Energised By George Lockett
     If it’s a dry day and you can sit on the ground and make a connection to the Earth, you can feel the energy of the area flowing around and through you. You may feel this in many ways; you may get a sense of the sounds in the distant past. Feel the wind on your face in a special way.What I notice myself as I sit and start to drift into a meditative state is the energies in my face become more pronounced. I get a kind of silly little grin on my face and I feel the field of energy within my bo…



528. A Merry Heart is Like a Medicine By Vivian Gordon
     When the body of Christ isn't protected we become vulnerable and sick in the same way. Every person in the body of Christ represents an important part of that body. Some people lead and some follow, but without the other one, it's impossible to work correctly. When one person in the congregation hurts, we should all hurt and when someone has a praise report, we should all be in praise. But unfortuneately, this is not the case. We neglect eachother's needs, we covet eachother's possesio…



529. African American Hiking for Spiritual Health By Delano Garner
     Hiking is gaining popularity within the African-American community. We're beginning to spend more time in nature in an effort to connect deeply with the spirit within. The alertness that is required to observe the natural beauty around us is calming, energizing and edifying. Noticing the colors on the trees, listening to the sounds of the birds, and overlooking scenic landscapes or wonderful bodies of water can heal the soul very profoundly.Hiking AloneTo be alone with my private thoughts i…



530. Why Don't I Get What I Want? By Michael Hadfield
     The smart 'spiritual' answer is 'you always get what you want'. But that isn't very helpful, because if you can't pay the power bill and you want to be warm, there's clearly a conflict, and you can justifiably say 'I'm not getting what I want.Unfortunately my life-experience has taught me that the smart answer is almost invariably accurate. But what it doesn't communicate is that some wants are more powerful than others; some wants conflict with others; and some wants you don't even know about…



531. Connect with Spirit By Linda Dessau
     Spirit - All Around Us, All of Us, Every One of UsANY time we connect with something or someone, we're also connected with Spirit (also known as God, the Universe, Higher Power, the Source). While our personal definition of Spirit is unique, when we connect with that Spirit it immediately connects us with something outside of ourselves.This connection also joins everyone and everything on this earth. And if we’re all connected, then what we do (and don’t do) affects others. How can we possibly…



532. How It's Always Now By Saleem Rana
     How do we feel the fullness of life itself?We have to go underneath the busy mind. And go into that deep sense of being itself. Here we find love, inspiration, and our own free spirit.In your field of consciousness, there is a deep sense of eternal, timeless awareness. It is an inner silence. The psychology of well being originates here.Yet the silence is full. It has an amplitude and dimension to it. It is a vast power, a benign power, a power of complete and utter love. It has an undefinable…



533. Embracing Our Life Lessons By Andrea Hess
     Have you ever noticed that sometimes the biggest lessons come in the most painful packages? Often it takes a painful event, such as an illness, the loss of a job or marriage, or the death of a loved one to make us sit up and take notice. These events, distressing as they are, have enough impact to get our attention, and enough consequences to force us into change and growth.Wouldn’t it be nice to do without traumatic events to inspire our personal and spiritual growth? Do our learning exper…



534. Tug of War By Russ Reina
     ...with God.Not a sport, really, nor a game. Just something I did as a Mobile Intensive Care Unit Paramedic. Often, it would appear that all the forces of the Universe were conspiring to take a specific life, and I, who happened to be at the right place at the right time, and with the right tools and experience, would do everything in my power to stop that from happening: Push and pull until someThing, or someOne, gave.I was just out of Paramedic school, working in Daytona Beach, Florida and w…



535. Ritual Candles - Dressing Them, and More By Kestra Imani
     As you read about rituals, candles, ritual tools and altar supplies, you've likely come across hundreds of opinions (all correct, of course) about what to do with candles. You've likely seen lots of information telling you to "dress" your candles prior to ritual.So what does "dressing your ritual candle" entail? Do you make a cute little hat and dress for your ritual candle? Can you find some cute little shoes and a blouse? While you COULD do that, it would then be a bit difficult to burn the …



536. Good Luck Charm Mystery , Does It Really Work? By Keiko Entwistle

According to the website, the pendant tops we purchased ( made of fake gold ) were cleansed by a professional psychic master.Before we got it, we had a car stolen and we were very upset because of it. We thought maybe the good luck charm can protect us.When we received the pendants, we were very excited because we thought the pendants are not normal pendant because they were endowed with…



537. Chakras 101 By Samantha Stevens
     The chakras are different coloured energy centres that originate from seven different points in our body. Chakra is a Sanskrit (East Indian) word that means "Wheel". For millennia the chakras have been visualized as round balls, blossoms or spheres of light that can open, close, darken, brighten and spin! The location of each of the seven chakras represents a different aspect of human experience. Our emotions, ability to connect with others and physical health are thought to be reflected in th…

539. Starved for Relief By Lynn Bradley
     This article was written for those who feel that no one cares about them and assure the world that there is a God that cares for each of us. You have permission to publish it if the resource box is left intact.Millions drift through life not having the slightest idea of where they are going. If they have a job, they feel more like a number than a person because no one seems to care whether they live or die. If their supervisor notices them, it is because they have done something wrong. They ar…



540. Creating Guardians of Our Gateways By Christan Hummel
     Adapted from "Space Clearing Kit" by Christan HummelAccording to both traditions of Celtic geomancy, and Native American medicine wheel, the sacred circle contains the heart or energetic center, (usually the place of the altar) with the boundaries surrounding and protecting this most holy place. Allowing entry in or out of this circle, are the gateways, usually oriented to the four directions. This archetypal symbol of the circle with the cross connecting the gateways is deeply embedded into…



541. The Power of Intention
     One of the most amazing scientific discoveries in recent years is something that spiritually adept people have known for thousands of years. Your experience of life responds to your intention. In the past, you may have heard the word 'intention' used to express a regret. If someone says, 'My intention was to be at work on time,' we understand that he arrived late. It's almost as if the word intention, in this context, brings about the opposite of what we want. One of Leo Tolstoy's characters, I…



542. The mystery that is God
     God is a complete mystery to me and I personally think that's just the way it's supposed to be. Anybody purporting to 'know' what God is and understand God is a little wacko in my opinion. I have never met anyone with a direct pipeline to God, though I have met a few that claimed a direct pipeline to God. I watch some religious programs and like some of them and blow others off as nonsense. God as I understand 'him' or 'her' or 'it' is free and open to anyone and everyone that seeks God. I perso…



543. Just Learning To Cope By Vaughn Pascal
     I have been thinking about this all night. I am realizing that there are more and more people dealing with anxiety. I have my opinions in regards to anxiety and I have written my own story in dealing with that. I am thinking of starting a support network for individuals and families dealing with this. Anxiety is debilitating. Anxiety begins with a fear that ends up an obsession. I personally think that anxiety is the result of feeling out of control. You are at a point where your life and worl…



544. How Old Are You? By Joseph Ghabi
     Some of us might hear from time to time that we are “Old Souls”. I remember when I was told this for the first time. It sounded great, even without understanding the deep essence and meaning of it. That expression did not feel strange to me for one reason, I always felt old, even as a young child since the age of 7. I am probably touching upon many different people who share that same feeling from young age too!What is an “Old Soul” in the first place? And how really we can pinpoint them from …



545. A Relationship With Spirit Without Religious Metaphors By Roy Klienwachter
     Good morning Roy, good morning JosethWhat about me, were do I fit into your life? Am I just some abstract notion of a superior being or am I a companion, always there always available, always your friend?What do you do with someone that is important in your life? How do you include them in your day to day affairs?That is what I want; I want to be included in your life. I want you to consider me daily. I want you to talk to me, confide in me, and ask for my help. I want you to consider that we …



546. Job's Advice: Wait For Your Change to Come By Saundra L. Washington
     The story of Job is a story of a losing and a story of a winning. It is a story of sickness and a story of healing from sickness. It is a story of losing faith in someone and a story of gaining hope in God. It is a story of man’s body and mind and a story of man’s soul and spirit. It is the story of an agony and a story of an ecstasy. It is a story of love and a story of hate. It is a story of strength and a story of weakness. This is the story of Job. It is here that we can understand the mea…



547. Ten Steps to Take the Work out of Work - Replicate Yourself!
     Eph.4:20(KJV) 'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' Eph.4:20(The Message) 'No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.' No member of God's kingdom is destined to be 'unemployed' in his glorious service. All members of Go…



548. Prayers for Times Such as These By Saundra L. Washington
     When we pray we are in communication and intimate relationship with a God who deals with us personally. In recognizing our unworthiness, we approach Him in humility and submission. We acknowledge Him as Sovereign Lord, honor His name and make our requests and needs known to Him. We thank God for the privilege of prayer, especially during times such as these.Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. E…

550. My Name is HAD-- Life Lessons Learned! By Greg Ryan
     My name is Had. You may know me, but you may not know my new name. You may have no idea what I ‘ve been through because I do my best to look the same. I am scared to death of you. I use to be just like you. I once held my head up high without propping in on my hymnal. I was well respected back then, and I even respected myself. I was whole-hearted devoted to God, and if the truth be known, somewhere deep inside I was sometimes the slightest bit proud of my devotion. Then I’d repent because…

An analysis of Western man's guiding presuppositions, A Review of the book "Impulse of Power" by Jack KettlerAfter having had the pleasure of reading Dr. Michael W. Kelley's two previous works, On Stone or Sand, the Ethics of Christianity, Capitalism & Socialism and The Burden of God: Studies in Wisdom and Civilization from the Book of Ecclesiates, I eagerly awaited the publication of this present volume. I was not disappointed. Dr. Kelley has emerged as a scholar par excellence. In this prese…

3. Mind, Body, Spirit Healing vs Traditional Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis By Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
The word "psychology" is the combination of two terms - study (ology) and soul (psyche), or mind. The derivation of the word from Latin gives it this clear and obvious meaning:The study of the soul or mind.This meaning has been altered over the years until today, this is not what the word means at all. The subject of psychology, as studied in colleges and universities, currently has very little relationship with the mind, and absolutely nothing to do with the soul or spirit.It is important to …
