So far evolution mutated while in reality we are adaptable by the inborn mechanism of survival. That leads me to conclude that there is a space somewhere that the fire uses as a home.

The idea is that the way reality is, creates an habitual pattern of doing the same in cycles of eternity. The way reality is , is the way of the majority that uses the energy or the fire.

The fire of reality glares with power to bargain and exchange. What is exhanged makes up the realities of the apparent world.

Yet, the vehicle is all we have to express our love for one another. If I’m not in earthly form, can I experience love? Are not emotions fundamental to our time on earth? The only way, I as a human, can reach your soul, is through your humanity, too. Our bodies, these lovely perfect capsules which carry around the precious cargo of our divine selves, allow us to enjoy all levels of love while we walk the planet. But what about when our bodies wear out and die? Where does love go?

If we consider love as an energy form, then according to the Law of Conservation of Energy in physics, love’s energy is neither created nor destroyed. Is love a puddle of invisible energy waiting for the surface to be pierced by an unsuspecting human falling into it or do we carry love with us, awaiting ignition by the attraction to and of another? These mysteries of the perpetuation of our most precious and inimitable emotion, pique our interest and perpetuate our desire.

Love, with all its ups and downs, strength and frailties, definitions and ambiguities, provides us with a reason to celebrate one another. Just as love can be expressed with a dozen roses, a box of chocolates or a loving glance, love’s feast day cannot be limited to one date on the calendar. You are loved – every day of the year!

As you try to get the message of the God and begin thereby to get acquainted with yourself, the potency of truth will light such a fire of enthusiasm inside you there will suddenly be a flood of reasons for your heart to sing out gladly. And when your heart begins to sing, it will mean that you are reaching upward from the wheel of cause-and-consequence to put your hand in mine, giving birth to your “wave of determination“, showing your willingness for my will to be done. It will also mean that you are praying without ceasing, although you may not previously have thought of love, praise, or gratitude as being prayer.

When you open yourself to the Spiritual World, you throw off the shackles, limitations and the everyday projections of the world. You open yourself to magical and mystical experiences, and to non-physical realities and beings.

If you make yourself available to Spirit on a regular basis and affirm your openness and willingness to participate in a greater life, you will begin to have your own amazing experiences. New ways of thinking will develop, and you will start to notice synchronicities and undeniable coincidences as spirit try to get your attention, this will lead you to even more wonderful energies and encounters.
 
Your life will never be the same, so are you up for it?
If so, set your intention to align yourself with Spirit and acknowledge your willingness and openness, and be quiet while you wait for a response. If you are sincere in your desire it will happen. You will have your own unique experiences that will change your world. Is it time for a paradigm shift for you? If so, get started. It’s the greatest journey I know. Nothing has held my interest for as long as my spiritual growth.
 
Go on, do it, have your own experience. BECOME… AWARE, SEEK… KNOWLEDGE, LEARN… TRUTH, OBTAIN…UNDERSTANDING

Visualization and repeating affirmations make up this mental work, and are important stepping stones to achieving success. When you visualize and affirm you focus and channel your energies toward your goal. Your mind is geared toward finding solutions to bring your goal into manifestation.

By thinking in a positive manner on your goal, and not letting any doubts enter your mind, your intuition starts working, you see opportunities, and you have energy at your disposal to follow your goals and dreams.

Some people listen to subliminal messages, for programming their minds for success. There are many CD’s available today, which implant subliminal messages into the mind, so as to activate its power. Some people prefer to use them, because this does not require any effort on their part. It is said that these subliminal messages, which go straight to the subconscious mind, bring faster results. Maybe they do, but then you have no control on what goes into your mind.

When you visualize and affirm your goals, you gain much more then just programming your mind passively with subliminal messages. The attention, intention and energy you channel toward visualizing and affirming, develop in you inner strength, concentration, willpower and self-discipline. You actively develop your inner powers.

One of the advantages of visualization and affirmations is that you can use them wherever you are, at any time, without the necessity of any external instruments. All you need is your mind.

Success appears in various ways, sometimes in a miraculous way, sometimes in an ordinary way, and sometimes through an opportunity that appears. A door opens, but you have to get in and take advantage of the opportunity.

Correctly following these methods will bring you more ambition, inspiration and motivation, which would enhance your chances of success. Remember, there are big goals and there are many small daily goals, which visualization and affirmations can make them easier and faster to achieve.

We all have our own expectations of what the holidays should bring. And as that special day draws closer, the excitement builds. So does the stress. Did we buy enough presents? Did we spend enough money? Are the presents we bought good enough? How will we ever get them all wrapped, the cards mailed out, and the decorations put up?

It all seems very overwhelming. But maybe, in truth, we are doing too much. Is it really necessary to spend all our savings on presents? Is it really prudent to run up the credit cards and spend the rest of the year paying them off? The long-term consequences of our holiday actions can be just as stressful as the holiday itself. Sometimes it is better if everyone agrees to celebrate Christmas in a more spiritual way and to forgo the abundance of gifts. This can be very liberating for everyone involved, for everyone feels the economic pressure at Christmas.

This year, try to keep things simple. Spend less, do less, and share more of the responsibility with others.

Decorating the Christmas tree, putting up lights, and decorating the house are family events which should provide the opportunity to share special moments with one another. It should be fun — not an annual chore. Writing out Christmas cards can be done in quiet moments when the kids are asleep. Sometimes, this is the only communication we have with distant friends and relatives. Show gratitude for blessings received during the year by donating to charity. Ask other people to make a donation to charity instead of buying a gift. In this way, the gift benefits more people.

Simplify expectations. Don’t expect everything to be perfect or to run smoothly. Don’t expect to receive the most expensive gifts or the greatest number of gifts. Don’t expect anything at all. Go with the flow. Find inner peace rather than outer chaos. Seek to serve others during the holiday season. Concentrate on family bonding and growing closer to God. Enjoy the peace of Christmas and extend it to others by offering tolerance and forgiveness.

Christmas can be a dreaded stressful event or a wonderful opportunity to bring peace into your life. Simplify. Relax. Enjoy the spirit of the holiday.

Merry Christmas!

It is a belief that Russians do not smile as often compared to other cultures. Probably it was perceived as a negative emotion for them hence, smiling for them seldom comes as the rain during summer. In many parts of Asia, smiling contains a different connotation where, at times, the opposing meaning is confusing or contrary of the inner emotion. However, if a smile breaks out of a persons mouth, even if it is a smile at the wrong place and the wrong time, it surely captures another persons attention.

Just how powerful is a smile? Research said that people receive more help, attention and favor if they smile often. Even a stranger who smiles even when it is not as sweet as Jessica Albas, to whom one of Hollywoods sweetest smiles belongs, gets to receive a smile back. Furthermore, a person who projects a smiling face the same as Drew Barrymores can be equated to being sweet and friendly hence, people are likely to approach them rather than the stiff and tight-lipped individuals.

Individuals who smile will be more attractive to the opposite sex and commensurate to sex appeal. It turned out however that mens smiles are certainly not as disarming and not as effective as womens smiles. Moreover, there are women who are not as pretty as they are when they are not smiling, but they do get prettier when they smile. The truth is, women use it as a tool to get what they want or if they want to get things done.

But then how can you smile confidently and sweetly if your two front teeth are either missing or blackened? Instead of breaking the ice, you might just be opening a chance for others ridicule or sarcasm. Smiling with those unappealing set of teeth is much like opening Pandoras Box for the entire world to see and suffer.

Therefore, gratitude is all about character. Gratitude can be defined as the quality of being thankful; it is a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. In the fast pace of industrial living, people aren’t saying “thank you” to anyone. Most people feel they deserve any kind act done for them. In fact, a selfish society creates a generation of ungrateful children. Consequently, our children grow up with this huge expectation of social pampering. Why else would a) waiters expect tips without good service, b) students expect good grades without the effort, and c) couples want great relationships without any communication. All of these unrealistic expectations make “thank you” less important.

It is easy to see how people such as recent college graduates, can be discouraged with the current economic recession. According to the U.S. Labor Department, only 47.6% of people aged 16 to 24 had jobs last August. In the current economic climate, individuals need a spirit of gratitude for a competitive advantage. Some young people may call this strategy too old-fashioned. Yet, fools shun wise counsel.  In present world, a fool is defined as an individual who is unwilling to listen and heed wise advice. When you show someone some gratitude after they assist you, that individual will likely continue to help or do more for you. However, if you are ungrateful, many times people will not do any more for you. The following are ways to instill gratitude: (a) Count your blessings one by one. Give God thanks, (b) Tell your parents “thank you” for their support, (c) Give back financially to your university, (d) Visit past teachers who have contributed to your good character, (e) Thank the person in your community who serves as your role model, and (f) Thank the public servants in your area (such as military personnel, police officers, etc.). Showing gratitude places an individual in a special situation with most people due to the fact of a growing ingratitude society.

As the economy continues to spiral downward, people are looking at various ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. The holiday season is the perfect time to add some gratitude into the character-building process. If a person is honest, he or she can probably think of at least one person who has helped him or her in some way. It’s easy to get into a trap of only looking at the negative side of life. Can you afford to acknowledge these acts of kindness, no matter the size? Make your holidays the best ever! Spread your appreciation across your community. Showcasing a spirit of gratitude can be very rewarding and can transform an individual’s situation.

Let’s say Crisis is an actual person, these would be his character traits:  anxiety, self-blame, frequent sense of personal failure and guilt.  When you look in his photo album you can see that his whole life is nothing more than one problem after another.  There have been many people in Crisis’ life who truly love him.  They understood the tremendous emotional impact this was for him and how this was diminishing his ability to see problems in order to stop this insane journey he was on. They desperately posted warning signs, tried to close roads and anything else they could do to clear his vision but each time he would simply put up blinders and hit the gas pedal.   So things could never be different and soon he was too far away for them to even reach. Now Crisis travels the roadways without breaking, he is oblivious to oncoming traffic – so YOU must beware as you travel.  If you and he come to an intersection in life there is going to be a catastrophic collision at that moment I pray that God intervene and the weight of his choices not fall upon you.

1.Teaching Trust: By always being there for our children we show them that they are taken care of, we give them a sense of faith in us initially and then this can become the foundation to them having faith in others, themselves, and their divinity, whatever their belief system.  This trust allows our children to fully explore and experience their life and all that surrounds them, both physically and spiritually.
