626. Who is God By Syed Waqar Ali
     “GOD”What is God? Who is God? Is there a God?All of the above mentioned questions might never be answered in the light of any scientific experiment. We have only arguments that deal with spirituality, metaphysics, theology, and philosophy. These arguments are not supported with factual material evidences since nobody has seen God. But this thing never concludes on the negation of the entity of God. Truly, we have many of the means to admit the existence of God.It is an approach of mind whether…



627. Is It Real? By Pat Robertson
     If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. --2 CORINTHIANS 5:17, KJVIt may have happened to you at a Billy Graham Crusade. Perhaps it was during a telecast of The 700 Club or during a conversation with a friend. Maybe you were alone with God when it happened. But some-how, someplace deep within, you believed that Jesus of Nazareth, God’s Son, died for your sins and rose from the dead to be your Lord and Savior. Then that belie…



628. Choosing Peace, One Shift at a Time By Rebecca Skeele
     It doesn’t matter what magazine or newspaper you pick up these days, there it is! the evidence of violence; the killing of innocent people, the terror of aggression and destruction. How do we, as caring, compassionate, conscious people maintain our inner peace in the face of war? Is it responsible to turn from the glaring headlines, close our eyes, go within to connect with that place of inner peace? What if those headlines have stirred up our visceral fear reactions and we are disturbed and …



629. Past Life: Wanting to Know Who I was in My Past Life? By Vijay Kumar
     Before we tread into the domain of Past Life... we need to understand the present and the future carefully. Before indulging in our Past Life we also need to know the purpose of life journey as a whole.Starting from the beginning... in the chronological order as the evolution took place... we shall find that we started the journey as an Amoeba (single cell formation)... this was the first manifestation which occurred in the life of every Human Being.Traveling further into the Past Life we fin…



630. Christian Forums: The Heroic Battle Between the Forces of Good and the Demon of Anti-Access By Kevin Scott
     Saturday I was hangin’ ten on my Dell when I ran across a Christian Forum. Not just any Christian forum, THE Christian Forum. How did I know? It said so: ChristianForum.com.I looked at a couple of the posts and thought it might be cool to sing a few lines of “Pass It On” while holding cyber-hands with my bros around the warm glow of a CRT. Just like camp.Kinda made me misty…So I checked out the registration and applied. Being the self-promoter I am, I chose “WhoreChurchcom” as my user na…



631. Anger in Your Energy Field By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     Many consider anger a normal human emotion and continue to allow themselves to be seduced by it. I suppose another way of saying that, although it's not my preference, is that many are "addicted" to anger and "think" that it is of some use in their lives.For instance, if you are one of those people who is seduced by anger, i.e. allows it to run your life either overtly or covertly (i.e. in the form of passive aggressive behaviors) you probably "think" that it is giving you a certain sense of …



632. Life as the Ultimate Psychedelic Experience By Sukhbir Singh
     Life is just a journey. Princess DianaWhether we are for or against psychedelic experiences, we have to be amazed with the possibilities and potential of a chemical that can expand our consciousness beyond our everyday awareness. The chemicals act as a catalyst to take away the rigid structures of our nerves which basically affect how we see the world. We know that before entering these sessions it is absolutely necessary to go through some preliminary ground rules so that you can be ready f…



633. Pioneering Insanity By Skye Thomas
     “They’re crazy!” That’s what they’re saying about us. The majority of the people in America at this time in history do not channel spirits, do not converse with angels or aliens, do not astral project, do not know about any kind of higher vibration, and do not talk about Starseeds, Indigo Children, nor Lightworkers. They don’t know anything about ancient secrets being coded into crystals nor about the healing effects of various stones. The only animals they talk to are their pets and they …



634. Christian Religious Addiction in Hawaii? By James Slobodzien
     Surveys show that religion and spirituality play a central role in the lives of most of the population in human experience. Gallup (1989) found that 53% of the U.S. population considers religion to be very important in their life, and another 31% considered it fairly important (p. 176). The religious and spiritual dimensions of culture were found to be among the most important factors that structure human experience, beliefs, values, behavior, and illness (Browning et al., 1990; James, 1961;…



635. Zen Listening By Ken Donaldson
     Zen: Finding enlightenment through intuition and introspection.Listening: Making an effort to attentively hear another person speaking.Therefore Zen Listening might be best described as the art of using one’s intuition and introspection to be fully present with another person during a conversation for the purpose of thoroughly hearing and understanding the other person’s communication.And why is this so important?Because when we thoroughly listen we create a very powerful communication dynamic…



636. Drop the Negations By Saundra L. Washington
     What really binds us to any negative emotional state in which we find ourselves suffering is this: choice.Freedom from negative behavior and thoughts must begin with your recognition that you are voluntarily serving that which puts your own emotional and spiritual peace at risk. Notice the use of the word voluntarily. You voluntarily choose to serve that which diminishes your own well-being and psycho-spiritual health. When we adopt a negative attitude, we are boxing with ourselves. We are und…



637. Life Don't Work That Way By Lois Grant-Holland
     It would be nice if the planet - like so many other things in modern day life - came with a guarantee. "If, for any reason, this planet fails to yield the resources required for, or the environment conducive to, the continuation of the species commonly referred to as homo sapiens, God agrees to replace this planet at no cost to the inhabitants at any time within one eternity at no cost to the inhabitants themselves."Life don't work that way. Our planet didn't come with any guarantee, and - mor…



638. Failure Is Never As Painful As Regret! By Greg Ryan
     "I would rather regret some of my failures in life than to live my life failing to forget my regrets." GRIn other words, failing at something and getting back up is much less painful than to look back and regret not doing something (or doing something) and not being able to go back and change the outcome. Each one of us has failed at something in life, some of us more than others. Some of our mishaps we have forgotten, others may still be eating away at us like a disease. I would think it's …



639. It Took a Banker to Show Me What Jesus Was Talking About By Michael Bresciani
     On January 13th 1982 an Air Florida flight crashed off the 14th Street Bridge in Washington DC. It was a bridge I had traveled across many times before during the year I lived in DC. The entire event was being broadcast live and I sat glued to the TV as the big Boeing 737 slid ever so slowly into the swirling ice cold waters of the Potomac River. Only five people out of the 79 that were onboard that flight survived the crash.Two of those who survived owe their lives to the heroism and selfless…



640. I Saw An Angel At Work By David Leonhardt
     Sometimes you have to see something to believe it. Like angels. Unfortunately, angels are adept at not being seen, yet many people believe in them.I saw an angel at work last year. No, I did not see the halo. Or the feathered wings. Or a flowing white gown dancing in the wind. But there was no mistaking the unique handiwork.When Little Lady was just one-and-a-half years old, we were visiting friends in another town. Sunday morning, we accompanied them to their church, which is surrounded …



641. Thoughts from Where do They Spring By George Lockett
     Where do our thoughts come from and what are the influences.We experience thoughts coming in our mind all the time, but have you ever stopped to question from where they are coming? What forces are acting on you to trigger these thoughts?We have all experienced a constant stream of thoughts flooding into the mind. These normally relate to the issues that crop up during the day. Sometime we can receive inspiration and start to change something that may make a shift in human consciousness.There …



642. Mysticism, Dogma and Truth By Edwin Spina
     At a recent lecture on Belief Systems, a student asked, "Is mysticism a religion?"Mysticism is a spiritual discipline aiming at direct communion with God or the ultimate truth. It is not a religion and, in fact, all religions have mystics. There are Christian mystics, Jewish mystics (Kabbalists), Islamic mystics (Sufis), Buddhist and Hindu mystics. Where all the tenets of these religions intersect is where you'll find the mystics.Mystics also study universal laws, which, by definition, are alw…



643. How Do You Forgive Your Mother For Giving You Up As A Child, 39 Years Ago?
     I wanted to forgive my mother for giving me up after 39 years, but I wanted to know how to do that. It was the late 80's early 90's; I was not working at the time so I had a lot of free time. I spent most of my time regrouping from past disappointments with jobs that had not worked out, and just became a couch potato, watching television. Everyone has a way of dealing with disappointments, some eat themselves into submission, others drink, drug etc. I chose at the time to just fall into the fant…



644. The Easiest Way to Overcome Vanity By Eric Engel
     Vanity - it’s easy to mask, easy to forget, and easy to justify. We hide it behind dignity and poise. The sins connected to this weakness aren't quite as severe as those associated with pride, gluttony, and lust. But it can eventually lead up to some serious problems. And it can keep us from becoming an instrument of Christ.The solution (humility) might be one of the most difficult virtues to master, but John the Baptist seems to have had a pretty good handle on it. Here’s the guy who baptized…



645. New Hope For Global Peace By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     In a recent article entitled "Some Evidence of How We Are Spiritually Connected" I reported on a case study where I was able to give some evidence as to how individuals who have overlapping life histories share such histories as information stored in what I term "interpersonal", "shared" or "collective" thought fields. These fields hold all the overlapping memories, experiences and beliefs that the individuals who are connected to those fields hold in their consciousnesses.I was also able to s…



646. What Is The Spiritual Path? By Saleem Rana
     For many years of my life, I thought the spiritual path had something to do with following one of the major world religions or pursuing an Eastern practice. I even thought it had something to do with morality and ethics.Today my comprehension of the spiritual path has changed completely. Instead of the complexity of any of the disciplines to becoming a good person, I have found that the path is simple. In fact, some of the greatest atheists have followed it better than many theists. An example…



647. Holy, Holy, Holy! (Holy?) By Raymond Usbal
     Holy Cow! Can we just go back to basics now?What does holy mean?To be holy means to be perfect or nearly perfect, right? It means piety, righteousness, uprightness. It means not sinning.Actually, that is not accurate.To be holy means to be separate!Separate from what?Let's consider a soldier and a boxer for a moment. They are trained to be good at their field by adhering to a rigorous set of discipline. A soldier doesn't behave like an ordinary citizen. His hair is kept short that when battle …



648. Getting to Spiritual Enlightenment By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     The expression "Spiritual Enlightenment" has been used often in reference to personal spiritual development. What exactly is meant by this term however has been vaguely defined. My research on the topic has found it linked to some of the following experiences:1. A connection to a higher self2. A connection to an inner knowing3. A connection to spiritual energies or beings beyond one's self4. Altered states of consciousness5. Out of body experiences i.e. astral travel, remote viewing etc.6. An …



649. Homeless, Rejected, and Poor By Steve Singleton
     Fanny J. Crosby’s famous hymn, “Tell Me the Story of Jesus,” describes the Savior in terms of Isaiah 53: “He was despised and afflicted,” and then adds, "homeless, rejected, and poor.” Last week, as we sang this beautiful song, I focused on that word, “homeless,” and thought about all of the connotations we give to it these days.It’s hard to imagine Jesus as a homeless person or our usual stereotype--scraggly beard and unkempt hair, dirty clothes, body odor, panhandling, looking for thrown-awa…



650. The Divine Throne-Chariot By Lauretta Lueck
     The following fragment was found in Qumran along with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls believed to be from the sect known as the Essenes. J. Strugnell made this particular translation in 1960, under the title The Angelic Liturgy at Qumran. The words in parentheses are assumed to be what was intended, as the manuscript was in very poor condition....the [ministers] of the Glorious Face in the abode of the gods] of knowledge fall down before Him, [and the cherubim] utter blessings. And as th…

2. People in the World Are Changing, Why is This Happening? By Lynn Claridge
In my work I have recently noticed that many people are going through some tough times. I have also noticed that when people start to become spiritually aware their tough times do not seen to last as long as someone that is unaware.When my clients visit me the question I often get asked is, how do I feel about the way the world and the people in the world are changing and why do I think this is happening?My thoughts on this is that each person no mater what their colour, religion or culture is…

3. Coming to Jesus By Anthony Smith
2 Corinthians 6:17-6:17For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I believe that we all can live forever if we believe in Gods word and apply it to our daily existence. We can no longer as Christians live our lives next to the life stile of the un-believers. Christ told us to " Come out from among the world and be a separate people." He was not saying that we had to separate ourselve…

4. Some Evidence of How We Are Spiritually Connected By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
It has long been surmised that emotional trauma can lead to physical illness. It is also conceptualized that such toxic trauma fragments may exist at the level of our energy fields. Treatments such as EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique™), TFT (Thought Field Therapy™), TT (Therapeutic Touch™) and others seek to restore the individual's energy field.What, if any, effect might this have on others close to the client such as family members, friends, colleagues etc.?If we are connected via a collect…
