976. 3:33am? By Skye Thomas
     What is it with angels and digital clocks? I fell asleep just after 11pm and am still trying to recover from the switch to daylight savings time. I really don't need to be up and working right now, or do I? I had asked my angels earlier today to help me write some more articles. So, at 3:33am they wake me up whispering something or other and insisting I need to get up and work. Geez! Have a little heart guys! I have a two year old for pete's sake. Don't they know how tired I'm going to…



977. To Witness the Life that is God By Michael Blitchtein
     My wife, our friend and I went to listen to a concert in one of the well known Halls in Melbourne. After parking our car two elderly ladies showed us where the entrance was and we began walking toward it. Coming down from a small asphalt slope on the way we suddenly heard an alarming sound behind us, turned around and saw that one of these ladies had fallen heavily. She sustained a deep wound on her forehead and was bleeding. She wanted to see a doctor, her friend and myself helped her up. How…



978. Panentheism: God is Within Us
     Author Mark Link tells the story of a little girl who was standing next to a well with her grandfather. As they lowered a bucket down into the well for a drink of water, the little girl asked her grandfather where God lived. In answer to her question, her grandfather picked her up and held her so that she could see down into the well. He told her to look in the water and tell him what she saw, and she told him that she could see herself in the reflection of the water. Her grandfather told her th…



979. Do Feng Shui Remedies Really Work? By Steven M. Ng
     THE PREMISEFeng Shui is an ancient Chinese art that has been practised for thousands of years. It is based on the idea that there should be a "balance" or harmony in the world. Everything around us has its proper place. If something is out of place and the balance is disturbed, this disruption can materialize as a feeling of uneasiness in the people around it, or as violence or lack of prosperity in the area.Feng Shui, in all its various forms, acts to restore that balance and harmony. This ba…



980. 100 Steps to Eternity: Prophetic Significance in the Skies By Terri Emmett
     Each planet, each star and each minute particle of the universe relays an important message to mankind regarding the overall story of God, his Son, his Word and his love for us. If these elements of nature were not serving a vital role in God’s plan, he wouldn’t have fashioned them.As its name suggests, the Milky Way and the events taking place within its boundaries profess a story the Creator obviously wishes to share with us. In the most simplistic terms, the "milk" of God’s word is the ba…

982. The Key Success Factors of Life
     The Key Success Factors of Life By: Herndon L. Davis http://herndondavis.com (The following is the 2nd installment of a series of essays focusing upon achieving success. The previous essay was titled 'Your Only Option is Success.) It simply amazes me just how many people genuinely believe that in order to succeed in life that you must find the right type of scheme, trick, or sneaky underhanded way in order to make it happen. Unfortunately, I see it in the voices and faces of people I encount…



983. Seeking the Sacred By Darlene Zagata
     People have always sought the sacred. It is the Divine within striving to reconnect with the all. We are instinctively drawn to that which is thought to be sacred. People have traveled from all over the world to walk the streets of Jerusalem, to stand in awe at the presence of Stonehenge, to view the pyramids of Giza, to be healed at Lourdes, etc.At one time, all land was viewed with reverence and respect. Down through the ages, various animals have been considered sacred: cats, cows, even the…



984. Unforgiving Servant - Why Would You Hurt Yourself Like This? By David Hopkins
     Everybody knows that if you stick your hand in a fire you're going to be burned. This is a fact that was branded in our minds since childhood, therefore we usually take special precautions when dealing with fire. You wouldn't intentionally burn yourself because you are aware of the pain and discomfort it will cause you.But what if I told you that you could be causing yourself and even more painful and deeper discomfort?What I'm referring to is the pain and suffering caused by holding on to a u…



985. Email From God - Or, How Such Big Ideas Get Into Such Little Hands By Soni Pitts
     It happens to us all from time to time, especially to creative types - that diminishing little voice from deep inside that is convinced that the things we do are no big deal, simply because we did them and we have trouble seeing ourselves as authors of anything truly important. "Basically," the voice whispers in sad despair, "if I did it, then it must be stupid, easy, worthless..." and many other unhappy assessments. I know, because I've been there myself. But the one thing I've found that re…

987. Fatal Distractions By Saundra L. Washington
     There is so much going on in the world around us that it is easy for us to become distracted from keeping our focus on Christ and spiritual things. And our vision slips away from us when we turn to glance at the things of the world.If you have ever read the first of C. S. Lewis SCREWTAPE LETTERS, you will recall that it pictures an atheist man sitting in a library. He had never thought of God until now. Somehow, as he sat there reading and contemplating and reflecting, his thoughts begin to be…



988. Truth: Far Different Than Mere Beliefs By Dennis Diehl
     "I don't know anything that gives me greater pleasure, or profit either, than talking or listening to philosophy. But when it comes to ordinary conversation, such as the stuff you talk about financiers and the money market, well, I find it pretty tiresome personally, and I feel sorry that my friends should think they're being very busy when they're really doing absolutely nothing. Of course, I know your idea of me: you think I'm just a poor unfortunate, and I shouldn't wonder if your right. Bu…



989. When Bad Things Happen (Part 2)
     The good that Paul writes about is a commitment of life to the sovereign will of God. It is complete trust in God. It is a conviction that cannot be blurred even by the reality of human suffering. Unfortunately, unlike Paul, many of us do not trust God as our sovereign Lord. We spend so much of our time and energies running around trying to reason things out and only running into dead end streets. We have enormous difficulty understanding and accepting the obvious spiritual truth that being good…



990. Surviving the Tsunami--Animals and Their Connection with the Spiritual World By Judy Collier
     When the Tsunami struck Asia and East Africa on December 26, 2004 more than 220,000 humans died, but amazingly the wild animals escaped without harm.Two chained elephants managed to pull free of their chains before the Tsunami wave arrived and they ran to higher ground for safety.Giant waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of elephants, buffalo, leopards, deer, jackals and monkeys.“The strange thing is w…



991. Anam Cara - Making Sense of Life By Tony Cuckson
     We make sense of our world via the senses. The senses are gateways. They keep us locked into a certain reality but they can be the medium of freedom from the limitation we call “our life.” For too long religion has labelled the senses as something “not quite nice.” For too long we have separated our senses as being something “not spiritual.” Many of our religions have done the same with the sensational experience we call sex.As an Aman Cara I teach spirituality of the senses. I teach wh…



992. How To Dig Yourself Out of a Hole
     I'm not going to beat around the bush today; I'm going to lay it out for you exactly as it happened. Monday morning, when I got into my office, I discovered a major disappointment, something totally out of the blue. The shock of it brought to the surface emotions I'd been holding back for a while (and didn't even realize I was), and the combined 'thwack' just rocked my world. Now, here's where the story starts its happy ending: I put my head in my hands and cried. (What kind of a happy ending is…



993. The Trouble With Tarot Reading By T. O' Donnell
     Anything can be used for divination; coins, tea leaves, cards, the flight of birds, the spilled entrails of captured enemies. The objects used are a focus for the psychic talent of the seer. Or rather a distractor, so that the everyday consciousness is pre-occupied, and something else can give its opinion.So why the fuss over tarot cards? Are they the Devil's picture book, an ancient mystical symbol system, or an evolving historical artefact?This writer inclines towards the latter view. You se…



994. Evangelical Skepticism: Pursuing Your Right To Be Wrong By Maya Talisman Frost
     Michael Shermer speaks with the energy and passion of an evangelist, so it's not too surprising to learn that he used to be one. What is surprising is that he has made a 180-degree turn in his approach to belief. As a college student at Pepperdine University, he knocked on doors to spread the word of the gospel to anyone who would listen. Now he preaches the power of skepticism in the true sense of the word.Like a war hero who becomes an anti-war activist, this turnaround is both curious and i…



995. The Impeccability of the Word By Sheri Rosenthal
     It is amazing how many folks mention after reading “The Four Agreements” by don Miguel Ruiz, that the first agreement (be impeccable with your word) doesn’t seem to be as difficult as the second or third agreements (don’t take anything personally and never make assumptions). They say, “Sure, I can stop gossiping or be careful to speak more kindly when I am communicating, but not taking anything personally or making assumptions….well that’s really difficult!” Personally, I think the first agree…



996. Be Thankful By Mellody Davis
     Some people think just by saying the words thank you is just. Well lets look in at 1Chronicles 16:8 it says Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Futhermore it says in Psalms 100; Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his…



997. Law Vs. Grace By Chris Hampton
     At first glance it does seem that law and grace are opposed. Even the Bible seems to be divided into two sections the Old Testament (law) and New Testament (grace).The Old Testament and especially the first five books are all about law. How God expects righteousness from everyone. In fact God gives man the Ten Commandments in this section of the Bible. Surely this means that God expects man to live up to the Ten Commandments in an effort to please Him. Right?Well if you take the Bible as a…



998. Why am I here?
     I believe the reason we are all here is to learn to love ourselves. Deep within all of us is a place that feels alone and unloved. Love can heal anything. I believe we must begin with ourselves. How can we truly love others if we don't love ourselves? We cannot give what we do not have. In each moment we have a choice to make. We can continue with our learned responses of 'I should do this or that' OR we can silently ask our divine intelligence deep within 'What is thy will for me?'. Following t…

1000. God's Love is Not Humanity's Love By Roy Klienwachter
      (Channelled)Good morning Roy, good morning Joseth.What has love got to do with it? This is a line from one of your earth's songs.Love, pure love describes the purity of the creator, pure love is pure energy, is life itself. The love of the creator is not sentient in that it can not be felt except in the physical world. The creator does not love his creations in the same sense as you physically love another.There is much confusion around "God's Love." As physical beings you can only relate in p…

2. Clear Mind, Empty Head: A Leak In "Mind Like Water" By Maya Talisman Frost
There's a lot of talk in meditation circles about emptying the mind.This is a roadblock for many people. Why? Because it's counterintuitive. After all, we spend most of our waking hours filling up our minds.We go to school, we get trained, we read, we learn, we absorb information from all around us. Then someone comes along and tells us that the best thing we can do is EMPTY our mind? Why would we want to do that?Empty isn't a good thing in most cases. Empty wallet? Empty gas tank? Empty bank …
