1251. Why We Choose Our Parents By Michael Ozair
      There is a concept in Jewish mystical thought known as gilgul, which can be translated as reincarnation. Gilgul does not necessarily mean that a soul in its entirety has been reincarnated; it may only be a nitzotz, or spark of a soul, that is reincarnated. That is to say that an individual can possess a nitzotz from the soul of someone who has lived previously. Gilgul occurs when the preceding incarnation of that soul has more to accomplish.Rabbi Menashe Ben Israel of the 17th century writes t…



1252. Religion Defines Character Trait By Rehan Khan
      The outward signs of a weak character are commonly believed to be bribery, corruption and exploitation but they do not bring out the true significance of the word. It belongs to the realm of ethics, which defines character in terms not easily intelligible to the common man. Here are a few definitions given by Western writers on ethics.Morality is character. Character is that which is engraved. Character is really inwardness. Immorality as energy is also character, but to be neither moral nor i…



1253. What Would Jesus Blog? By Phil Gerbyshak
      Let me first say this: Jesus would definitely be a blogger, no question about it. He constantly was using whatever resources were available to him to get his message out there. Finding out what He would blog about is an interesting question. If I were to really think about what Jesus would blog about, I think Jesus would blog about relationships, customer service, and using technology to connect the two. Relationship is what Christ is all about, relationship with Him, with His Father, and with…



1254. Defeating Siege Warfare - Satanic Battle Tactics Exposed & Destroyed By Brian K Burns
      IntroductionThe SIEGE is one of the most commonly used battle tactics employed by the devil to render Christians useless or partially ineffective in their spiritual service. I intend to use some of the principles of ordinary siege warfare to shed light on spiritual siege warfare. Before we look at this satanic strategy, however, I’d like to proclaim a few powerful truths. God wants us to be vibrant and victorious! He wants us to be wonderfully alive with His Spirit! He’s given us access to His…



1255. Vegetarianism and Christianity: Answers to Questions By Swami Nirmalananda
      Vegetarianism has been an important part of the practical spiritual discipline of many of the world's spiritual traditions, including Christianity. Some, however, object to vegetarianism, citing scripture to uphold their opinions. Here are some questions about these objections, and a clarification of the true meaning of the scriptures.Some people think that Saint Paul's saying that false spiritual teachers would be "forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath cre…



1256. Biorhythms Forever
      The purpose for this article is to share with you my experiences using biorhythms over a long extended period of time (some twenty+ years) and what effect it had on my life. To begin with, my first experience with biorhythms was back in the early '70's when I was at Texas Instruments to early '80s when I worked for Rockwell Int'l. (now parts of Boeing and Alcatel). It was all very new and 'spooky', but it got my attention when the cab companies and airlines began to test it on the drivers and pi…



1257. Digesting Knowledge Into Wisdom By Brad Swift
      The term, "undigested knowledge" leapt off the page recently as I read "The Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda, as he quoted his guru, Sri Yukteswar: "Do not confuse understanding with a larger vocabulary," he remarked. "Sacred writings are beneficial in stimulating desire for inward realization, if one stanza at a time is slowly assimilated. Otherwise, continual intellectual study may result in vanity, false satisfaction, and undigested knowledge."It left me wondering what kn…



1258. How To Find Your Center Of Power By Saleem Rana
      The still place is the beginning. Settle in there, ask for order, and an inner force will prioritize all that you need.Action can be inner or outer, depending on how Spirit wants you to move.It's never about doing something or resolving something. It's always about being.When you settle into your beingness, you also release want and scarcity. The way will then be made plain to you. But it will happen in degrees. You will be shown one step at a time.Your losses are in the past. They are miscrea…



1259. Cowboy Spirituality By Phyllis Coletta
      It’s said that religion is for those afraid of hell but spirituality is for those who have been there. My friend Johnny Ray is a rodeo cowboy from Texas, not someone you might equate with spirituality, but having literally been through the fires of hell, he is closer to God than anyone I know. He wears dirty old cowboy boots - no preacher’s clean vestments or collars - but I have never met a man more deeply devoted to the service and the glory of God. His life is a tribute to these immutable …



1260. Before Enlightenment By Roy Klienwachter
      There is a Buddhist saying "Before Enlightenment, there is chopping wood and carrying water, after enlightenment there is chopping wood and carrying water."I believe that for many of us who search for truth and enlightenment, there is a tendency to escape into it. Not so much an escape into enlightenment but into the process of finding it. We are dissatisfied with the status quo and are looking for something else. When we begin the new journey we then become involved in the journey to the excl…



1261. Is Your Pursuit of Money Robbing You Of Complete Fulfillment? By David Hopkins
      Do you think it's acceptable for people to make millions of dollars selling us and our kids on the idea that pre-marital sex, adultery, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, selfish ambitions, drunkenness and things of this sort are O.K.?I thought not, but these are the things we are most likely to see on T.V. The new reality show craze is even causing society to take a passive and some times condoning look at sin, while making big bucks in the process.Proverbs 12:14 - There is a way which seemeth ri…



1262. Creating Your Own Reality To Achieve Fulfillment & Happiness
      Creating your own reality means nothing is realistic or unrealistic, everything is achievable. There is only what we think about any given situation and we can create our own reality to make our lives happier and more fulfilling. Lets take a look at how we can go about 'creating our own reality' The universe and its composition Scientists, until very recently used to believe the universe was immutable, and made up of the smallest building block called an atom. They no longer believe …



1263. 10 Commandments By Mike Bradley
      I thought I would draw this article up as a reference page in the event any of you would ever need, at a quick glance, exactly what the 10 commandments are. Most Christians do not have all of them memorized. I will actually type out the specific Bible verse the 10 commandments comes off of as God makes some additional statements under some of these commandments that is usually not written down when you see little tablets of the 10 commandments at your local Christian bookstore.Before I type ou…



1264. Giving Away Your Power By Dennis Diehl
      We have all done it. We are all guilty of it. We have all turned against ourselves by allowing it.One of the problems one faces in belonging to and being a member of an organized Christian Church is that, either consciously, or subconsciously , one places themselves under the authority of others. We say we do it willingly. We believe that there are special people groups and leaders under whose supervision we need to be. It is others who tell you how to think, what to do, how to act and what to…

      A look at how we identify with what is happening in our life; when in fact the same thing is happening to thousands of other people at the same time.As communications becomes more integrated in our lives. We start to see parallels between ourselves and other people around the world. It is a well known fact that when new ideas come into existence, they tend to appear in two or three parts of the World at the same time. Even though the people in question do not talk to each other.It is as though…



1266. The Many Paths to God By Evan Lyn
      I believe we each have a soul. And that soul comes from God. It is a part of God – which means you are a part of God.I believe every man and woman has the power of God within them. It is our inheritance, as we are all the children of God. And God would not abandon us in the world without giving us the way back home. And the way back is our soul. Me, you, we all are the way back to God.We have all been given a heart, a mind, and a soul – these are the greatest gifts that God has given to us. Fo…

1269. White Sun - The Five Human Relationships By Teow Aun Chew
      The very basic of man in order to live peacefully, he has to know and practise it in his daily life. If man cannot follow and disrespect this simple basic then his life will be in chaos and he cannot live a peaceful life. The five basic are:1]Care and concern between parents and children - Parental love is the greatest of all since parents are always very protective. They will reserve the best for their children but make no demands in return. On the other hand, the children should repay them b…



1270. Remote Viewing and the Body-Mind Connection By Talia Shafir
      One of the biggest myths to evolve in the growing annals of new age lore is that psychic ability is the sole province of the mind. Our language reflects it in terms like “mental telepathy” and “mind reading”. When we think of ESP (extra sensory perception), we generally think “beyond the senses”. But what usually passes for extraordinary mental ability to see distant in time and space actually has an important physical component.The Body’s StorySo much emphasis has been put on “seeing” th…



1271. Blood Brother Makes Contact By Russ Miles
      I opened the e-mail from my “Blood-brother,” Norman. As best-friends, we had deeply cut our fingers – merging our blood and making a vow to be “Life-long friends”– in the third grade. Norman was the tallest boy in our class. I was the shortest, and the most deaf. I moved away from Bates, OR that summer. The unexpected communication from Norm was rather strange – considering we had not seen nor heard from each other in over fifty years.It seems that my friend had used Goggle to seek informati…



1272. We Are All Adopted! By Kimberly Chastain
      When someone asks you, “Who are you, what is your name?” What do you say? My response is something like, “Hi, I’m Kimberly Chastain a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Professional Life Coach, Wife, Mom, etc.” Depending on groups you may attend, it could be something like I’m a recovering alcoholic, recovering addict, anorexic, fill in the blank _________ . Do you know what we really should answer to that question? “Hi, I’m a child of God and daughter of the King. I am in…



1273. Beyond Life By Darlene Zagata
      The question of life after death is one that continues to intrigue and mystify. The theories of existence beyond life on the material plane are many and varied. Some believe there is nothing beyond the physical life, while others believe that we continue to survive as a spiritual beings. Most of us have been taught to believe that the way we live our lives on earth will determine whether we will live blissfully in heaven or suffer eternal damnation in hell. Yet we continue in our quest to dete…



1274. Be True to Yourself when the Winds of Change Blow in Your Life By George Lockett
      Thoughts about your intentions and feeling when change comes in your life.It is sometimes necessary to let go and just be in the moment when the winds of change blow in your life. Progress and evolution are made through change. Life would also be very boring if it was always the same.We should welcome change as this opens the doors to new opportunities and allows all our energies to flow in new directions in our life.When the winds of change blow, stay in the moment and be with your thoughts a…



1275. Interesting… (but unnecessary) By Aaron Mcnaught
      At any given moment, there are ‘things’ occurring within the open space of awareness. Sometimes there are inner ‘things’ occurring; a fleeting thought, a welling up of an emotion, a physical sensation. Sometimes there are outer ‘things’ occurring; an interaction, a perception of an event, an experience of some sort.Things happen. Occurrences occur. Happenings and occurrences are simply movements and moments which take place within the open space of awareness. The open space of awareness is the…

2. Wait, What Did I Miss By Roy Klienwachter
If life is a journey, then I forgot where I was going!Physical life is a wonderful buffet of experiences. Life is an experience, and it is what we do here. We are not here to learn anything but to experience our thoughts in the physical world.To be truthfully honest I have not made the connection as yet. I have not realized my full potential and I am not in total harmony with what it is that my spirit desires to experience. I think it is like going to Disneyland. There is so much there that yo…

3. An Alternative to A Life of Healing By Aaron Mcnaught
While I do hope to avoid arguing the merits or validity of seeing ourselves as primarily and essentially wounded and on a lifelong quest for wholeness via healing, I would like to offer another perspective on wholeness that may disagree with and/or upset some. This perspective is pointed at by the Mystical Traditions of the East and West, and one in which we begin with the understanding of our innate and eternal perfection. This view could be summarized as:We are distracted from our always alr…

4. A Man Called Jesus By Roy Klienwachter
(Channelled)I have been trying to ignore this title "A Man Called Jesus," all morning.I cannot get it out of my head and I don't particularly want to write about it, but I cannot shake it off. I thought that I would sit down and let it all out and then I could delete it. Although I no longer consider myself Christian, I don't really want to comment too much on Christian or any other symbols. However I have agreed to be a channel for Joseth, so I am prepared to honour that agreement.Danger lurk…
