1426. The Gnostics and Essenes By Robert Baird
      THE GNOSTICS, ESSENES AND THE ‘OCCULT’:Throughout this book I have made reference to esoteric groups or knowledge. I have done a book called The Occult: Uses and Abuses which has twice as many words as this; but I hope this one covers enough of the issues related to the abuse of spiritual knowledge by the elites. In my research I had a confrontation with a person whose learning system is called Essene and I learned that much of my own school of thought (Hermetic) has indeed been co-opted. Thi…



1427. The Winds of Change By Bill Austin
      Humanity is entering a very critical time in its path of evolution. The winds of change began to blow over eighteen years ago at the event you call Harmonic Convergence but the only ones who felt this at first were those many call star-seeds or light workers. Today almost everyone on the planet is being swept up into them. The third dimension world of duality is beginning to be blown away so to speak.What does this mean? The tsunami and fires and floods and the changing weather conditions …



1428. Your Only Option is Success
      Your Only Option Is Success By: Herndon L. Davis http://herndondavis.com (The following is the part 1 of a 2 part series focusing on achieving success in one's life.) Did you realize that your life was actually pre-destined for success and that you were hard-wired and pre-planned for greatness? Can you imagine your life surfing on a continual high, wave, and generation of success? If not, then get used to the idea, because success is your only option in life. But how you argue? Everyone can'…



1429. Astral Attack: It's More than Just Witchcraft By Samantha Stevens
      Believe it or not most astral Attacks are not caused by curses or witchcraft. Half the time astral attacks are not intentional. They take place on the subconscious level and are the result of negative thinking, verbal abuse that goes round and round in the head, stale energy that has been left behind in a place and bungled rituals that may have done by amateurs hoping to create prosperity or love.Below I have identified the different kinds of astral attack that can take place and hopefully it …



1430. The Reality of Fairies By Skye Thomas
      No, I have never seen a fairy, an angel, nor any other type of a spirit guide. But I swear there are times I think that if I spun around fast enough they'd be sitting there snickering at me. Today's one of those days. Quite often, I sit up late at night working too many nights in a row. I also have a two year old bouncing off the walls first thing every morning. The combination means I am pretty much doomed to episodes of sleep deprivation every time my inner workaholic takes over. Not a…



1431. Your Guide to the Archangels By Samantha Stevens
      An angel can be your best friend. Angels have been known respond to prayers that contain the phrase "Hey, somebody, anybody up there HELP!!!" but they come quickest when addressed politely by their Christian names.Like a friend, as opposed to a servant, an angel also doesn't like to be bossed around. Angels are to be treated like guests who are invited into your heart...like most guests they tend to leave or ignore enviroments that are filled with aggression, anxiety anger and hostility. So be…



1432. The Power of Gratitude
      When my older son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, my first reaction was relief - I finally knew the reason for his behavior. However, I was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger. I felt sorry for my son and for myself. Like many others in similar circumstances, my question to God was 'Why me?' Through the grace of God, I am now able to focus on my gratitude. I believe God chose me to raise my son because He knew that I would give him the best I have. He will …



1433. Our Virtual Reality Reality By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
      In earlier articles entitled "We Are Not Our Personalities", "Eliminating the Past" and "Fallacies About the Inner Child" I discuss how, employing a powerful new healing modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP), what we call memories, child ego states (i.e. often referred to as the experience of the inner child) and for that matter entire fragments of our so called past (and therefore our so called personalities) can be completely released from consciousness.The net experience of d…



1434. My Scholar vs Your Scholar By Dennis Diehl
      From my perspective Isaac Asimov had it correct when he noted that the Bible is the best evidence against itself. Many Christians are excellent Bible READERS. Minister types in this area excellent Bible READERS. They can jump from one scripture to the next with finesse. For any scholar you could quote, they would quote one that confirmed their perspective. However, in some areas of the country you really just have to quote the Bible and skip the scholar part too.It never ends. The reason it ne…



1435. How To Walk On The Path Of Peace (Part 4) By Jin Dhaliwal
      To grow in self-control, in patience, in calmness, is to grow in quiet strength and power; and you can only grow this way by focusing your consciousness upon a principle. Break away from the confines of tradition, conventionality, and the opinions of others, until you succeed in walking the path of your truth. Rely upon your own judgment; be true to your own conscience; follow the Light that is within you.Your conscience is at least your own, and to follow it is to be empowered; to follow the …



1436. Accept Life On It's Own Terms By Saundra L. Washington
      Those living on the highest levels of life have learned to accept life on its own terms. There are some realities about life that we must accept. This is the key to living joyfully in communion with the heavenly while abiding here on earth.Life, no matter how we choose to look at it, is a challenge. It is the beginning of a struggle that continues until we breathe our last breath. Life is something that we did not request. None of us asked to be born. Neither did we ask to be poor, or Black, t…



1437. Forgiving Clyde Corbin By Renae Patterson
      I was two years old when my mother abruptly died from a hemorrhaging brain aneurysm. Less than a year after her death, my dad married a woman named Judy. Judy had an uncle whose name was Clyde Corbin.I don’t remember all of the details, but for some reason, my dad and new stepmother used to drop me off at Clyde’s house to spend the night.While staying at his house, he frequently took me to carnivals and parks. He also took me shopping for toys, and ice cream. The days I spent at “Uncle Cl…



1438. The Best Laid Plans By Lois Grant-Holland
      We all know that the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry, so we shouldn't be surprised when the best laid lifeplans go awry, too.What "looks good on paper" doesn't always look as good when it comes up in your life, especially if - like so many of our learning experiences - the person or the situation that we're dealing with proves to be less than a positive experience. If we planned it all ahead of time - if we made arrangements before we came into this lifetime to experience cer…



1439. Is He Your Soul Mate? Find Out Using Angel Readings-5 Guidelines By Catherine Kasper
      "He loves me, he loves me not. I just met this guy and, although I "just know" he's my soul mate, I'm running out of daisies and it's making me crazy. What can I do during an Angel Reading to really discover the truth?"1. Relax. The Angels know you think you and that guy are psychically connected, meant to be, lovers from a past life, etc. Take a deep breath, calm down and engage your brain. We are all body, mind and soul. Your mind needs to be present in the session too, not just your h…



1440. Have You Ever Experienced a "Sacred Moment"? By Rochman Reese
      This is a moment of bliss when you were so involved in what you were doing that you felt light and happy and nothing else seemed to matter. A moment where you found your own real peace and power.Every human is capable of experiencing these special moments. They can happen anywhere, at anytime. Think carefully, when was the last time you felt like this?If your answer is “I can’t remember.” Or “It has been too long ago” then maybe the question you need to ask yourself is “How can I bring this ba…



1441. Soulstretch: Raising the Bar on Nobility and Nicety By Betty McNeal
      In the make-believe world, too, fiction and films are filled with flawed characters fighting their way to selfish goals. Pick up any book on how to write novels and short stories and you see the word “conflict” in bold.For mass conflict, consider that people love war. Even the blasted bodies of innocent babies in a battle zone do not prompt the laying down of arms or the hammering of pistols into plowshares.It doesn’t have to be that way. The change starts with secret questions. You have to be…



1442. What is True Freedom? By Ashok Kumar Gupta
      Freedom....The cherished goal of humanity throughout its history.No society has ever been happy under the rule of people of some other society. History, from one perspective, is nothing but a struggle between two groups-one attempting to enslave or keeping enslaved the other and the other fighting incessantly to ward off this slavery. All wars are nothing but a manifestation of this ancient phenomenon. It seems we cannot tolerate losing our freedom and at the same time we cannot allow others t…



1443. What are Angels? Angelic Guidance Explained By Lila Star
      Angels are making their presence felt everywhere. Once I started opening myself up to the draw of the angelic realms little reminders are catching my eye along the way.What is an Angel?There are lots of angel definitions that people have used to describe these celestial beings or even referring to earth angels lets have a look at a few descriptions I have come across:An Angel is : ~ a force of light, many different types, all working for a higher power ~ a celestial being that acts as an int…



1444. Acknowledging Emotions and Feelings By John Sherman
      We'll begin with a question:What is a moral?I'd say it's something you have an intense feeling or emotion about, generally so intense you would never cross its boundary.Agree?Have you ever crossed a moral boundary? It doesn't feel good does it. But why? Morals are not a physical thing - i.e. They can't be touched, purchased or photographed. They are an emotion manifested in a feeling; they manifest in the essence of your soul, which, in turn, is the very shape of your identity.When you cross …



1445. Six Days Left! By Arthur Buchanan
      What would you do if you knew you only had six days left to live? You may think that is wired, but don’t you think that some things you will find more important than others? I am sure you would? Would you drink yourself to death literally, drink for six days straight just getting drunk all the time, forgetting your loved ones and letting your last days be a stupor. I think not!I bet you would spend all the time in the world with your family, friends and anyone who you consider worthy of your l…



1446. Equal In the Eyes of God By Lois Grant-Holland
      There was a time in my life when I seriously wondered whether there was intelligent life on other planets.As a child, I believed that we human beings here on the planet Earth were God's only children. I learned early on how special we were: we were made in God's image, to look after His planet. There was no other force in the universe (which I envisioned as a big, black void with our planet in the center) that could compare to us. Our planet was here for our convenience; it was home to everyth…



1447. Understanding a Tarot Card Reading By Lisa Lamont
      Getting the most from a Tarot card reading relies on the reader’s ability to perceive not only the symbolic meaning from the spread, but also the mystical significance. Although every card of both the Major and the Minor Arcana possesses its own individual symbolism within the representative images on the cards, it is the deeper, spiritual enlightenment of the cards that leads to a greater understanding. Attaining this type of perception is the key to making Tarot a truly valid part of life.Th…



1448. The Truth About Life's Challenges (Living By Zen) By Dr. Brenda Shoshanna
      The great gate is open, but travelers seek everywhereâ€� - EshinIn the midst of our lives, hungry, thirsty and often weary, there comes a moment when we stop and wonder, “Is this all there is? Is there another way to live my life that will bring the joy and contentment that eludes me?â€�Why Zen? Why Now?Caught in the patterns of our lives, each of us has an intuition of something beyond the way we are now living. This something has the po…



1449. We Are Not Our Personalities By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
      As a Psychiatrist I spent most of my life training and researching effective therapies that would help my clients make changes in their personalities. The premise was that by making such a change the client would feel capable of doing or feeling things that they could not access before. Such change is regularly sought by individuals who find themselves the prisoners of personality characteristics that they have either inherited or become conditioned with throughout their lives. These personali…



1450. Riding The Storm Out!
      What exactly are problems? Do they exist only in our everyday life or only in our future or do they happen in the past and the present? What state are we in when the problem starts? Can we be happy and have problems or are we only sad when we have problems? What shape do they take? Can they take a shape at all? The truth is problems are only in our imagination and can never happen unless there is first a thought that something or someone is not acting in a way or a form that we believe they shou…

2. 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. …

3. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly By Saundra L. Washington
That we must live with imperfections is a fact of life that cannot be denied. We must come to terms with the silent and perennial truth that the field of human life will always consist of the good, the bad and the ugly coexisting together.There is no perfect place, person, or thing. We know this do we not? I have visited many beautiful places in my life and discovered, sometimes to my own amazement, that there was also the not so pretty hidden behind the lovely scenery. In every metropolis the…

4. White Sun - The Human Desire By Teow Aun Chew
As one begins his journey, he does not know how many pirate ships that sail in this sea. One minute he sinks and the next he floats. Floating and sinking seem to be the daily affairs and will happen to the one who tries to seek his way across the desirous sea. If desires are not overcome, the search is still far off. The worst desire of man is greed for which many have died.Throughout man's life, his eyes are opened by the greedy desires. Extinguish this thought and there will be no need to fi…
