676. Lessons for Life: THE CREATION By John T Jones, Ph.D.
     Purpose:It was God's business to create the universe and our earth. It is our business to garden the earth and to protect the flora and fauna from harmful activities and pollutants.

677. Spiritual Prosperity By Saleem Rana

679. Going Where You've Never Gone Before By Lois Grant-Holland
     One of the first issues people on the spiritual path have to address is a doctrinal one: Is it wrong to ask questions that I've never asked before? Is asking questions about the truth we've been taught "sinful?" Your answer can have a dramatic effect on your ability to explore who you are and what you believe in without guilt!If anyone has ever told you that the path to spiritual self-awareness (defined in it's simplest terms as "knowing who you are and what you believe in, and letting those b…



680. Life is a Journey from I to We
     Posted all around the ashram of the great Indian saint, Sai Baba, are little signs displaying spiritual aphorisms, reminding visitors of the reason they are there. One sign reads 'Life is a Journey from I to We.' That message impressed me like no other, to the extent that I still remember it 20 years later. Why? Because it reflects a universal truth of all religions: the path to peace and happiness is not about the indulgence of oneself and one's ego, but rather is love and kindness toward othe…

682. Learn To Live A Powerfull Life
     Learn To Live A Powerfull Life 'Logical thinking is the worst kind of thinking. Rational thinking is limited. You need exactly the kind of thoughts that does not look at the rational obvious. You need to think with a vision that sees the obvious without logical limitations or restrictions.' =ConTheosius= In ages past we accepted that life was full of hardships.

683. You Must Feel to Heal! By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     In my work with clients who have physical illnesses there is one consistent observation that I keep running up against. That is the inability to feel one's emotions.Emotions such as sadness, hurt, disappointment, loss, and abandonment which result from ongoing trauma in one's life remains stored in memory fragments that live in one's consciousness or bio-field. These feelings act as a reminder that there is something toxic in the bio-field, and therefore in that individual (i.e. the traumatic …



684. 5 Shortcuts to a Life of Charity By Eric Engel
     Charity isn’t the easiest virtue to master. And with St. Paul’s warning that our good works mean nothing without charity, we see how important it is to practice. Here’s a few practical ways to install charity into every day life.Give to people what they want, not what you think is best. We’ve all said it- “If I give him money, he’ll just spend it on alcohol or drugs.” Give your gifts unconditionally, and don’t worry about how someone else will use them. As long as there’s no evil in the gi…



685. God Lives and Heals Today By Cheryl Rogers
     I have a confession.I used to have doubts about God's existence. I would pray and I wouldn't always get an answer, so it felt like a one-sided conversation.Then one day when I was very, very sick and out of options, I surrendered my life to God. I didn't know what else to do.Guess what? HE heard me.It was late 1996 and I was suffering from severe immune dysfunction. Basically, I was super sensitive to everything in my environment and I was getting worse.I had already prayed. I had already s…



686. When Bad Things Happen (Part 1)
     Rabbi Kushner in his book 'When Bad Things Happen to Good People,' describes how he learned one day that his three year old son would die in his early teens of the rare, but lethal disease called progeria. Progeria is a condition which accelerates the aging process. Medical authorities informed him that his son would never grow beyond three feet in height and would look like an old man while he was still a child. It was this spirit slashing and heart splitting news that prompted the Rabbi to ser…



687. You Are Spirit Powered (Moving to Transformation) By Roy Klienwachter
     A spiritual event is what happens in every moment of every day of our lives. It is not only about the extraordinary things that happen in our lives that we cannot explain, but everyday things, like working watching TV, making love or going to the bathroom. It is not something that is veiled in mystery, ritual or mystic ceremonies. Being spiritual is being ordinary. Everything is spiritual we are spiritual beings. Therefore all that we do is spiritual.An aura of confusion exists around spiritua…

690. The Runes - Why are they becoming so popular?
     The Runes are having a revival and just like the Tarot. They are a way of understanding our lives better and look set to grow again in popularity, as we seek to understand our lives in more depth. The Runes History Runes are ancient characters used in Teutonic, Anglo-Saxon, and Scandinavian civilizations, and found on many ancient inscriptions.

692. Do You Need An Answer About Life? By Dave Samm
     I was originally brought up Catholic, at the insistence of my parents. I quickly lost interest after going through my confirmation and began doing my own thing. After many years of drinking and partying, I got very bored and thought, “Is this ALL there is to life?!?!” I thought, “If there really IS any truth to a ‘life after death’, I should at least TRY to find the answer.” I started to do some research on science and religion to see if I could come up with any TRUTH about the “meaning of lif…



693. How to make time for God
     Has your hectic schedule crowded God out of your life? Despite all the modern labor-saving devices--from microwave ovens to automatic washers--it seems as if we're busier than ever. Think for a moment how you spend your time. Most of us spend eight to ten hours a day working and commuting. We sleep seven or eight hours a night. Subtract another hour for preparing meals, eating, and cleaning dishes. Take another hour off each day for bathing, shaving, grooming, and bathroom visits. Deduct an hou…



694. You Are Truly an Angel, Radiating Your Love Wherever You Go By George Lockett
     "I will continue to try and do my own part to alleviate fear, which I feel is the greatest stumbling block on our collective way towards change."I agree with the above statement, but I would just like to suggest changing a couple of words: Change "try" I feel when we are trying we are not being ourselves. I feel it is better to be true to yourself and just be whom you are. Change "Fear" Fear is the opposite of love, if we honour ourselves and follow our hearts desire, we will be coming from lo…



695. The Power of One By Debbie Milam
     Yes, we are living in a world where we are constantly shown, by the media, man's inhumanity toward each other through violence, terrorism, and war. Never has there been a time that our light is more needed than now. During this powerful time in history we, as a group of conscious beings, actually can shift the awareness of the planet. The soul work we are doing has prepared us perfectly for this precise moment. Our voices, actions and intentions will inspire and heal so many. No longer c…



696. Worldwide Church of God... Since You Don't Listen By Dennis Diehl
     To begin with, this letter is for me and perhaps part of my own life experience and healing after a 26 year run as a Pastor in the Worldwide Church of God. I came to the Church philosophically at the age of 16, having grown up Presbyterian in a very stable and loving family. The teachings of the WCG appealed to me and made more sense if one was to read and take the Bible as a fundamentally true document in all the areas that it claimed to express it’s truth. The world of the 60’s was chaotic. …



697. From Spiritual Cry Baby to Bold Seeker of Truth By Betty McNeal
     Ever notice how people dread discussing the truth about life? Their fear usually comes out as, “I never talk about that” or “Some things we’re not supposed to know.” They quickly cut off any probing of who they are and why they’re here.   How strange that people who are brave in everyday affairs tend to cringe and cower when asked to think about the reasons and powers behind their existence! Yet, what could be more urgent than to face your own reality?   Humanity’s spiritual jitters often st…



698. Life - What is Fate? By Teow Aun Chew
     This is the teaching of Tao of Heaven about the deeper meaning of life and fate and how a human being can become a Saint, Sage or just ordinary among humans:'Human beings come from Heaven (Heaven is used by Confucianism to represent Tao). Since Heaven consists of Li-tien (Heaven of Truth), Qi-tien (Heaven of Spirit) and Xiang-tien (Heaven of Matter), therefore human beings possess the Li-xing (True Character), Qi-xing (Spiritual Character), and Zhi-xing (Material Character) too. Yin and Yang e…



699. Meta-Rational Thought By Leslie Fieger
     We, the human species, stand on the threshold of a new era…...The Age of Conscious Awareness.This threshold is, however, also a precipice on which we are poised and from which we cannot turn back. We must make a leap into the future, into the unknown. In order to survive that leap, we need to develop a new vision of who we are and how we fit into the rest of the universe.Humanity must undergo a transformation. We must decide to change the current image of seeing ourselves as creatures of circu…



700. Eliminating the Past By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
     Most forms of psychotherapy I know either tries to help you accept the past, understand the past, learn from the past, perceive the past differently, or try to take the emotional edge of the past. In spite of all this effort to ameliorate the effects of the past it, in the end, is still inside you and you continue to identify yourself with it.Now because the past can have significant effects on your emotional, relational and physical health do you feel, if you ever choose to think about it, th…
