Blushing Shouldn't Get in The Way

Blushing acts as a sign to show persons embarrassment when harassed or even while a person is praised. In short blushing is a sign of embarrassment. The case with such an individual is that they either get embarrassed or enraged and this causes them to get red faced. Their face gets flushed and the symptoms are a blushed face. Excessive blushing shows physical signs, but there are also mentally related signs. Blushing adds to self-consciousness where he or she starts assuming that someone is watching them and to respond to this they try and become extremely self-conscious. In this process the person tries to carry him or her very cautiously and even go onto expressing things over cautiously, which sometimes looks funny. This usually means that the person who was trying to avoid being noticed tends to get more people to notice them because their faces are a certain give away in such a case f extreme people consciousness. All this occurs for no real reason but simply because your mind makes you believe that you were being noticed; however this was not the case.

The primary problem with such people is that they are embarrassed in public. When speaking in public or in front of friends and relatives they tend to get nervous and cannot speak the way they want to, instead they try and act in a manner that they think would look or sound good. But the fact is that no one will ever look good without being natural. Some actually go to extent to stop interacting with people they don't know; it is very difficult for them to interact with a stranger. In some people excessive blushing reaches a level where they stop interacting with any and every thing that requires attention. Even if a person is receiving positive responses from people he or she will think that they are just being put on.

Many people that are aware of their excessive blushing try to avoid it by being more self-conscious. The correct approach towards reducing blushing is to stop assuming that someone is marking you. You might have come across an idea to stop blushing but once you think that you can stop blushing, the possibility of blushing will also i111Bncrease. Your mind is the one that is guiding you in the wrong direction and you simply react in a particular manner. Then how are you supposed to stop blushing as your mind is supposed to be the one directing you? If you cannot avoid listening to your mind there is something that you can do restore it to normal. Hypnosis can help you with this problem, where your disturbed mind will no more be afraid of being watched by people. Hypnosis is available for you in the form of mp3 downloads that can help you overcome excessive blushing.

Once you have used this mp3 content you will see that you are least bothered about blushing and do not care even if being watched. This way you can be yourself and there is no need for you to change yourself just because someone is watching you.

Your Image Is Created Through Your Beliefs

We all create our image of ourselves through our beliefs. It is important to begin creating a great self image so that you will posses the self confidence to create anything you desire. Every person has the capability to do wonderful things with his or her life. The only thing that holds people back is their own self limiting beliefs. Your image is created through your beliefs; what have you chosen to believe about yourself?

Maybe you have created a good self image of yourself; or maybe you have not. The great news is that you can work on your beliefs about yourself on a daily basis. There are many people who are overachievers and many people who constantly under achieve in any part of their life. They are no different than you are; the only thing different is their beliefs have enabled them to succeed in any venture they pursue.

If you personally no anyone who ventures out and takes risks in life; and you would like to do the same. They always seem to have success in any area they choose. They are no different than you are; however they have learned to let go of their limiting beliefs and learned to replace them with positive affirmations that have enabled them to have success in life. We all have some sort of limiting beliefs they are passed on to us; through society, parents, friends or other places.

Your image is created through your beliefs and whatever you choose toA50 believe becomes your reality. We do not believe what we see; we tend to see what we believe. Our beliefs are a screening of how we see the world, and we do not allow any information that is inconsistent with our beliefs to come to us. Even if the beliefs you possess are not consistent with reality; you will choose not to listen or follow them because your self imposed limiting beliefs are what have become true for you.

The image you have created for yourself can be harmful and holding you back in life. For example, believing that you have to work for someone else for your entire life because you are not smart enough to make an income from home. You may believe this because you can not achieve financial freedom because, your parents did not succeed in life, you do not have the mental capacity, you are the wrong age, or whatever else you have come to believe.

Always remember that if you set a goal for yourself and you have a burning desire to reach it, nothing in the world can stop you from achieving it, as long as you are willing to persist until you reach it regardless of adversities.

The most important thing to remember is that your image is created through your beliefs; you must begin today to learn how to change your beliefs so that they will help you and stop hindering you. It will take time and effort on your part however if you are willing to put in the work; you will realize that you are a successful individual.

Love? Sex? Oh! That is Just 5% of What Love Might Represent! What About the Other 95%? [part 2 of 3]

[4] Spouses' love

This is a conditional love, a selfish love that doesn't or won't allow a third party. Is it good or bad? Can you imagine a someone who loves all and practises polygamy? That is not correct too. For goodness sake, think twice..... which do you prefer, monogamy or polygamy? I can predict chaos, disputes, jealousy, envy, selfishness .... if one allows multiple partners. Maybe I am conservative, maybe you are not, but to prevent is better than cure. Since this love is expressed by sex physically, don't distort sexology which should be sacred as well between husband and wife. Sex is part of our life as of food and drinks. It is a physiological and emotional need shared between loved ones.

Don't be a pervert. Be principle-centered. Ying and Yang balancing emotional acts will bond a loving couple whereby an imbalance will upset them. Lust and uncontrolled desire are negative forms of human love. To possess another person's body or mind, be it physically or mentally is something unkind. At least, love is about sharing and caring. It is our culture, our attitude towards how one looks at sex. Too much explicit and wrong concepts of sex from different medias have influenced our society and causing an alarming degrading of moral values among us. Let's pray that this negative will come to a stop. It all starts from us, as parents to set a good example.

Don't get yourself involved, be wise.... for the sake of all... for the sake that love or sex between spouses is sacred as should be, and meant to be a positive and healthy practise.... It is an attachment, sometimes a headache when there is a misunderstanding. Think twice, there is always this law of love. Don't be entangled in the webs of miseries, lies, desperate cries and eventually these marriages will soon die off

[5] Friends' loves

Friendships among friends are 5B4genuine relationships. Friendship is earned through trials and errors, proven with time, cemented by trust and forbearance. Mutual respect is one important trait between friends. 'Be friendly but not too familiar' is also a phrase that I always emphasize. As married friends we know our limits as not to go too personal.

A friend is ever so kind and understanding. A friend is ever so caring and considerate. A friend is ever interested in our work, but not interrupting. A friend is ever so concerning, be we literate or illiterate.

A friend's smile will be so enlightening. A friend's smile will be so encouraging. A friend's smile will be so touching. A friend's smile will be so warming.

Whoever and wherever that friend he is. Whatever and whichever that friend he is. He is always concerned and looks into our needs. Really a friend in need and a friend indeed.

He is that somebody who won't meddle up things. He is that somebody who won't burden you with things. He is that somebody who tells you not to worry about small things. He is that somebody who tells you not to do bad things.

He is that somebody who wipes our sweat and says. You need a rest. He is that somebody who wipes our tears and says. It is just God's test. He is that somebody who comforts our fears and says. Relax and stand it. He is that somebody who sacrifices his years and says. It is worth it!

A friend knows when to t577alk and when not to. A friend knows when to hug us and when not to. A friend knows our weaknesses, yet never complaining. A friend knows our heart's desires and always stimulating. A friend knows our silent, hidden, suppressed feeling. A friend knows our rate of heart beat and sick feeling. A friend knows our silly habits and favorite dishes. A friend knows our silly fantasies and wishes.

Yet never laughing at us in any way. Yet never looking down upon us either way. Yet never blaming us for who we are. A true friend indeed is a blessed, rare gift from GOD

Tarot Suit Of Wands

Did You Know That Anger Makes You Fat?

Mimi was proud of the ten pounds she had lost on her new diet and exercise regimen. It was easy and enjoyable. A few days later Mimi was part of a decision making team at work. Arguments and insults flying around made her afraid of giving her opinion. Right then Mimi sensed something was missing. She grabbed a pillow and put in on her abdomen. What a relief! During that stressful moment Mimi missed the 'padding' that her fat had provided. The cushion blanketed the messy feeling. Driving home she felt demeaned and diminished. Why was it okay for her colleagues to vent, but no space for her views? Anger frothed up. Her rage felt like a ball of sharp nails ready to lacerate her insides causing a bloody hemorrhage.

She stopped at a store and bought a quart of chocolate ice- cream and a large bag of potato chips. That combination was the her most trusted and true numbing device. Those sharp nails became frozen with layers of reassuring and calming comfort food. No chance of any disgusting leaks of weakness. Keeping her cool was rewarded by yummy admiration and scrumptious respect.

The Bad News

Mimi's body weight represented both the burden of her undigested emotions and those she swallowed from others by choosing not to be assertive. Mimi believed that she kept her close relationships with friends and family by being an ever absorbing sponge for their awful feelings. They perceived her as tough and indestructible. Keeping it all in was a badge of honor. Emotional constipation was Mimi's sign of power and resilience. She dealt with overflowing gunky confused emotions by converting the trash into fat. That weight smothered her instincts to e5B4xpress her individuality. The heaviness paralyzed her so she couldn't take risks with being herself.

Her weight went up and stayed up despite her punishing splurge with personal fitness gurus, coaches, nutritionists and all the advice in the best diet books.

The good news

Eating anesthetized slimy feelings. The weight she carried acted as armor against feeling abused, taken advantage of, and dismissed. Her fat was the one part of her she could trust. Her fat camouflaged her need for love, support and acceptance. Life was a breeze when she didn't have to ask for those basic things and risk rejection and ridicule.

Yo-Yo weight games

Mimi was successful with diets when she felt strong and an equal player in the world. As soon as that fragile mood was threatened by words of conditional love, put downs, and a dismissal of her opinions Mimi felt naked and vulnerable. Food was the comforter and the weight she gained became a shield against the abuse. The thicker the armor the less chance there was of being destabilized and out of control. The armor plating was solid enough to deodorize the stench of her own chaotic and stinky feelings. The armor did such a good job that she couldn't distinguish between her own mess and that of others. It also bypassed her emotional thermostat so that she never knew when she couldn't take any more of other people's trash. At the point of overflow food was the best5B4 way of resetting the switch and lowering the temperature.

Mimi's quandary: Looking good or feeling strong?

Did she focus on feeling physically attractive by losing fat, or feeling emotionally strong and protected by keeping the fat? Either way, she had to abandon one part of herself - a no win situation.

Emptying the Garbage Before It Turns Into Fat: Stopping the Yo-Yo

1. Mimi should begin by asking herself the following questions:
   • Why won't my family and friends like me if I show my feelings?
   • Why is it weak for me to show my feelings and get support?
   • Why am I so good at tolerating everyone else's overwhelm, and yet disgusted by my own?
   • Why is emotional constipation the only way of feeling strong?
2. Mimi needs to build a more flexible barrier between herself and others.
   • Armor is rigid and insensitive. Mimi's boundaries need to have a fine enough mesh to allow some mixing of feelings on both sides. That is mutual empathy and support.
   • A barrier that opened and closed as needed would prevent overwhelm and allow Mimi to distinguish between her stuff and other people's mess.
   • Giving herself the right to have bad feelings, show them and still receive love and acceptance (just as her friends and family do) will create a balance inside her emotional digestive tract. No more constipation.
   • Distributing the responsibility for relationship regulation and maintenance mean567s that the weight is not dumped on Mimi.
   • Mimi will be attending to all parts of herself without abandoning any aspect.
   • Mimi's emotional balance and flexible barrier means that she won't need food to do the job. Her weight will be more consistent and natural for her size.
   • When Mimi is comfortable with herself, her weight will reflect it by getting to an optimum place and staying there.

These tasks are difficult to do alone. Friends and family are part of the problem and cannot help at the outset. An objective professional such as a licensed psychotherapist can be helpful to get Mimi started on her journey and support her through the yo-yo's until she has the right barriers set up for herself.

Discovering Tarot For You

Reincarnation is a Promise of Unconditional Love

Reincarnation is the grandest aspect of unconditional love, and the least understood as part of our natural life cycle.

Because many people do not understand what unconditional love really is, it is no wonder that they do not understand or recognize the value of reincarnation. Conditional love would say that you have one turn on the holodeck. Unconditional love would say that you have as many turns as your feel necessary to experience all that you desire.

When we love our children unconditionally, we do not try to change them, but to guide them. We give them as many turns as necessary unconditionally to make it on their own. A good parent recognizes the strengths of their children, and allows freedom for them to explore there own potential, while still maintaining their love for them. Mistakes, errors, screw-ups are all part of the learning process and a parent doesn't withdraw their love or threaten because the child wonders off the path or makes a mistake.

Unconditional love is unconditional freedom-freedom to make as many mistakes as is necessary to accomplish a desired goal. Reincarnation is the ultimate freedom that our creator has given us-to come back as many times as is necessary to accomplish a desired experience. No love could be greater than that. It is a birthright that is known by the soul before it incarnates into the physical world.

In the awareness of the possibility of reincarnation, one is given unlimited freedom and limitless opportunity to fully explore the physical world, and what it has to offer. In the awareness of this freedom, comes confidence that one will achieve his desires on a grander scale.

In the awareness of my own physical experience, I know that I will probably wake up tomorrow and carry on with my life and what I had planned for today, next week, and next year. There is continuity in what I desire from one day to another because my focus is on a limited physical life that may last up to 100 years or longer. However we are often taught or believe that we must focus on the first 65 years. Often little thought is given to the next 35 or so years, because we don't consider the5B4m productive, or at the very least we believe them to be our declining years, and a prelude to death or non-life.

We often miss the importance of these years as a prelude to another life-a preparation for a transformation to a higher level of existence in a more evolved world-the one we already live in. What we are doing here is experiencing physical life and all that it has to offer, but we are also preparing the world and our children to create the next world that we will experience upon our return.

Recently I finished reading the book "The Indigo Children." I was first alarmed by the realization of their existence and what they were bringing into this world now. Their characteristics are rebellious to current conditions and a world that is about to transform. Old ideas die hard, and transformation brings chaos and death to ideologies that have brought us this far.

For a brief moment I was feeling uncomfortable about these children-the worlds new stewards. Then I realized that they would not be stewards of my old world, but of a new world I have helped create, and that I will be returning to later. I will become one of these children upon my return. I will be one of their indigo children in one or more generations of physical life. I must trust them to take care of this world in my absence.

In awareness and focus of a physical existence that spans more than one lifetime, I can see the significance of reincarnat5B4ion. I can also see how important it is not to give up on what I am creating or experiencing now. I can see how vital it is to have long term goals, aspirations, and concerns for the world and its future circumstances.

Many of us do not consider these important aspects of physical life and their significance to our own future.

I have said myself in short sightedness-that I am glad I am leaving this world behind-that I will not have to deal with a future I do not understand. I have also felt like many that I do not understand the new generation and their indifference to what I know of this world, and have experienced.

For many, there is some comfort in a belief that they will die and go somewhere else-that they will not return, and they will not have to deal with what they have left behind. However this would be like starting a new book and finishing it after the first chapter. It is very short sighted and an unenlightened philosophy.

Reincarnation is a very real option for most of us-it is also a choice, a choice of freedom that comes from unconditional love. Most of us will return, and carry-on with our lives in a new body, that is equipped for the new world we have been building generation after generation. This is long term thinking that is consistent with the natural tendency for life to always move towards a higher level of experience.

I welcome these new children (our future leaders). I look forward t5B4o understanding them and to giving them guidance and opportunity. I am excited at the prospect of being one of their children, and being guided by them into a future world that will be different than the one I have known and left behind.

I believe one of the greatest hindrances to our own evolution has been this misconception-that we will not have to deal with the circumstances of the present world, after we have passed on-that it is all over. This short-term thinking has left our children a world that they must abandon or clean up. Many of us have disowned this world, thinking that we have not been part of its evolution-nothing could be farther from the truth. Everyone that has been born into this world, has contributed to its circumstances and evolution. You are responsible whether you accept it or not. You have participated in its technology, its pollution, and its degradation. You have contributed to the necessity for a new human to evolve to take over for you. You have created your new parents and a new world. You have left your example, your history and your insight for others-and a promise of a reincarnated you, to follow. Death is not an escape-it is another opportunity to repeat your mistakes or move away from them.

When seen from this perspective, life brings on a whole new expanded meaning. It brings greater opportunities for more abundance, happiness, and a brighter future. It leaves behind fear as we begin to ma5B4ke friends with it-in the realization that it is within our own personal power to create the world of our dreams. We will not be punished for our mistakes; we will experience the results of them, and will have the freedom to move away from them-at will.

This life is not final, and you will have as many turns as you wish. Your present incarnation is not the first stage, nor is it the last and there will be as many as you desire. You are not doomed, nor are you a victim-you are a creator. It is within your own personal power to create the world which suites you. It is within your own thoughts to experience the present world as Heaven, Hell, Nirvana, Stovokor (if you're Klingon) or anything else that your imagination is capable of.

You will return to this world and experience it as anything that you can imagine. Where-ever you think you are going, that is what you will experience. But, it will not be another place-it will be the place that you have created-here! It is the experience of the physical world that changes, not the physical world itself. Matter is formed and reformed in a manner that reflects your thoughts, your imagination.

Reincarnation comes from the greatest love of all-unconditional love. Unconditional love is unconditional freedom to experience all that you desire-unconditionally!

Just as I have created these pages, I know I will have a chance to change them-make any corrections that I feel necessar591y. I will do this in a near future (over breakfast), that I will create. Because I know that I will have this opportunity-I will not panic, I will not be desperate, and I will not react from fear.

It doesn't matter whether you believe in reincarnation or not. What you believe now, is what you will experience when you die. However, because you have freedom to choose, why would you not choose to experience something that works within your own best light? Why would you choose something that does not raise you to the next level of awareness-something that is better than what you are experiencing now?

Reincarnation is just such a choice. It is our birthright, our inheritance, our guarantee of continuance. Life cannot be created nor destroyed. Life is all there is, and it continuous.

Can You See Your Dream

The Next Election Will Be About Fear

Everything built up will fall, and all that falls will rise again - this could be called the cycle of existence. When things are about to fall in this cycle, there are premonitions that wash through our hearts, and the premonitions have definite signs:

We lose our Generosity:

We become increasingly out for ourselves, because we are afraid. Earlier in our history, we were fearless; we would give the shirt off our back to a neighbor in need even if it was the last shirt we had. We really cared for each other. But now, we can't count on help from our neighbors. It all began many years ago when we allowed the homeless to fend for themselves, and we guiltily looked the other way. We didn't even realize that we were becoming fearful.

"Others are my main concern. When I notice something of mine, I steal it and give it to others."

- Shantideva

We lose our Principles:

We can no longer define our principles. Whatever is required to meet our goals seems to be our morals now. And our goals...? To get as much as we can before someone else does. It all stems from fear, and we will vote for the one who promises to allay the greatest number of our fears, whether those fears are economic, religious, or political. We look to our leaders to do this for us, because we no longer trust ourselves to make a stand for what we believe. We can't even grasp right from wrong anymore; it all gets distorted beyond our comprehension.

1. Avoid killing, or harming any living thing.

2. Avoid stealing -- taking what is not yours to take.

3. Avoid sexual irresponsibility, which for m5B4onks and nuns means celibacy.

4. Avoid lying, or any hurtful speech.

5. Avoid alcohol and drugs which diminish clarity of consciousness.

- Buddhist precepts

We lose our Patience

When things don't go our way, we get angry; we can't accept the fact that we have problems. Problems are part of existence, and existence is conflict, but we can't see this, and we believe that existence should be easy. But it's not. So, because we don't understand, we get angry; we try to make existence bow to our wishes. Then we blame others for our problems.

"The Greatest Prayer is patience."

- Buddha

We lose our Resolve

"It is not good to begin many different works, saying 'This looks good; that looks good', touching this, touching that, and not succeeding in any of them. If you do not generate great desires but aim at what is fitting, you can actualize the corresponding potencies and become an expert in that. With success, the power or imprint of that practice is generated."

- The Dalai Lama

We lose our Wisdom

One sign is when, as a society, we begin thinking that we are infallible, that nothing can go wrong anymore because we have control - this is a sure sign that the fall is about to happen - we lose our wisdom.

"The mind is everything. What you think you become."

- Buddha

We lose our Compassion

Our love is only one side of a two-sided coin, the other side be5B4ing hatred. We love ours, but hate theirs. True compassion is unconditional love. Conditional love cannot help but have anger as its companion.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

- Buddha

We lose our Truthfulness

Fear drives us to do whatever is necessary to secure ourselves, including lying. The entire world is becoming a used car lot, and we are either the customers being swindled, or the salesman doing the swindling. Whether it is mortgage companies, religious leaders, or politicians. It is all becoming untruthful.

"Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

- Buddha

We lose our Composure

Whatever happens in the world cycle will arise and pass. Governments, movements, and politicians will come and go, but your own actions will remain in your heart eternally.

"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."

- Buddha

How To Enjoy Your Health Care And Social Career

Many professionals in the Health care and social work field become stressed and disillusioned in their work, even though they enjoy helping people.

They are normally also not very well rewarded either financially or in terms of recognition, this allied to the type of work and situations encountered, means that the people involved in this type of industry need the same level of concern help and support that is given to the people in their care, this rarely is the case, and those working in the field end up leaving due to stress, depression and burnout.

It is very easy for those who work in the Health 1C68care field to take on the worries and pressures of the people they are trying to help this happens through resonance (the law of attraction). There are ways to prevent this from happening which everyone can apply.

Everything is comprised of energy and vibrations the higher the energy the more

Positive and happy we are, the lower the energy the more negative and lethargic we are. The people we are with, the way we think and our activities affect our energy levels.

We will be able to take on the energy that lifts us up and deflect the low energy that brings us down. The two extremes of this energy are Love and Fear. Pure Un-conditional Love is the highest energy there is and therefore has access to the multi-dimensional universe we operate in, that means whether we know it or believe it or not we affect everything around us on a local and non-local level.

The more aware we are of how this works in our lives and in the universe the more happy and productive we will be, It will also enable us to achieve goals more effectively with awareness and application.

Judging people by our own standards and worrying about peoples lives and futures over which we have limited control, also brings further low energy, so understanding the energy field we can choose to be affected by our environment or effect our environment. The situation we are in determines the most appropriate action.

I spent a month in a mental health hospital as a patient not a visitor and saw this at first hand, the only way that a lot of professionals can see to get out of this cycle is by caring less and just doing there job, this affects those around them as well and the patients who pick up on this. There is a saying love hurts, if you could create a love of your job that did not hurt you it would go so much better, and you would be creating more than you could ever know.

If you are interested in finding out more or want to apply these principles and more to your life let me know.

Understanding the Causes of Drug Addiction - A New Definition

What is Addiction?A New Definition of Addiction Most people associate the word addiction with alcohol or drugs, but that association severely and inappropriately limits the extent of addiction in our society. A new definition of addiction is needed, one which will give us a better grasp of the nature of addiction and will enable us to approach its treatment in a far more productive way.

Addiction is the compulsive use of any substance, person, feeling, or behavior with a relative disregard of the potentially negative social, psychological, and physical consequences.

This definition of addiction creates a much broaderand more accuratepicture of addiction, which we will demonstrate in much greater detail throughout the remainder of this article. Before we can meaningfully continue our discussion of addiction, however, we must first consider its causes in a new way.

What are the causes of addiction?

Despite all the research done on this subject, there is no consensus on the cause of addiction. Some theories have been proposed, however:

• Genetic: We are born with a genetic predisposition to addiction.
• Bio-chemical: There is a chemical imbalance in the nervous system that makes us moB68re susceptible to addiction.
• Mental illness: Addicts have a kind of mental illness.

Regardless of the specific cause espoused, most experts regard addiction as a disease, and many believe its inherited. They believe that people inherit the tendency to addiction, even if they never actually become addicted to a specific substance.

A New and Powerful Explanation for Addiction

I have now worked intimately with thousands of addicts, and propose a cause for addiction that is radically different from those generally discussed. This proposal explains the overall data of addiction better than other theories do, and this proposed cause has allowed the development of a treatment plan that has proven to be very effective with thousands of addicts.

Addiction is not a disease. Addiction is a response to pain.

After extensive interviews with thousands of addicts, I have seen less than one percent of them fail to respond enthusiastically to this definition of addiction and the clarification of the causes of drug addiction, whereas most of them have had serious problems with the usual definitions and explanations.

In order to understand the cause of drug addiction, we must first understand what is required for human beings to be happy, a subject sorely neglected in mental health research and literature. We tend to usually focus our attention to an inappropriate degree 5B4 on illness and on the treatment of disease. We all understand that physical health requires more than simply the elimination of disease. In order to be physically healthy, we must also attend to positive qualities and behaviorsnutrition, exercise, shelter, and so on. In a similar way, mental health requires that we attend to the acquisition and maintenance of positive required elements, not just the elimination of negative factors, or disease.

The most important requirement for our emotional health and happiness is to feel loved. Our souls require 5B4 feeling loved in just as real a way as our bodies require air and food. We need to feel cared for and to feel connected to other human beings. Theres a reason that such a huge portion of our novels and movies take love as a theme. Love is a basic human need.

Real Love

But not just any kind of love will do. The only kind of love that can fill us up and make us whole emotionally is Real Love.

Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves.

Its also Real Love when other people care about our happiness unconditionally. With Real Love, people are not disappointed or angry when we make our foolish mistakes, when we dont do what they want, or even when we inconvenience them personally.

When I use the word happiness, I do not mean the brief and superficial pleasure that comes from money, sex, power, and the conditional approval we earn from others when w5B4e behave as they want. Nor do I mean the temporary feeling of satisfaction we experience in the absence of immediate conflict or disaster. Real happiness is not the feeling we get from being entertained or making people do what we want. Its a profound and lasting sense of peace and fulfillment that deeply satisfies and enlarges the soul. It doesnt go away when circumstances are difficult. It survives and even grows during hardship and struggle. True happiness is our entire reason to live, and it can only be obtained as we find Real Love and share it with others. With Real Love, nothing else matters; without it, nothing else is enough.

Conditional Love

Sadly, few of us have sufficiently received or given Real Love. From the time we were small children, we observed that when we didnt fight with our sisters, didnt make too much noise in the car, got good grades, and were otherwise obedient and cooperative, our parents 5B4 and others smiled at us, patted our heads, and spoke kindly. With their words and behavior, they told us what good boys and girls we were, and we felt loved.

But what happened when we did fight with our sisters, made too much noise, got bad grades, and dragged mud across the clean living room carpet? Did people smile at us then or speak gentle, loving words? Nothey frowned, sighed with disappointment, and often spoke in harsh tones. Just as the positive behaviors of other people communicated to us that we were loved, we could interpret the withdrawal of those behaviors only as an indication that we were not being loved. Although it was unintentional, our parents and others taught us this terrible message: When youre good, I love you, but when youre not, I dontor certainly I love you a great deal less.

This conditional love can give us brief moments of satisfaction, but were still left with a huge hole in our souls, because only 5B4 Real Love can make us genuinely happy. When someone is genuinely concerned about our happiness, we feel connected to that person. We feel included in his or her life, and in that instant we are no longer alone. Each moment of unconditional acceptance creates a living thread to the person who accepts us, and these threads weave a powerful bond that fills us with a gRevenuine and lasting happiness. Nothing but Real Love can do that. In addition, when we know that even one person loves us unconditionally, we feel 5B4 a connection to everyone else. We feel included in the family of all mankind, of which that one person is a part.

Without sufficient Real Love, we can only feel empty and alone, which is our greatest fear and source of pain.

The world is literally dying from a lack of the one thing essential for our happinessReal Love. We spend our entire lives trying to replace that unconditional love with praise, power, sex, money, entertainment, safety, and so on. But it never works, and the resulting emptiness and fear are almost too much to bear.

We dont have to live like this anymore. Greg Baer and RealLove.com are teaching (1) the real cause of fear and anger and (2) how to find this Real Love that replaces the fear, anger, and conflict in our lives with peace, confidence, and genuine happiness.

Dr. Greg Baer is the author of 16 books, DVDs, and CDstwo of which are internationally published by Penguin Putnam Groupand has presented the life-changing message of Real Love to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

Anamchara - Living An Essential Life

What is essential in your life? This question contains one of the most important words an question can address. This is the word "essence." To know your "essence" is to live the mystery of life rather than the illusion of "your life."

One of my simple pleasures is browsing second hand bookshops. They have a very distinct smell. They feel warm and inviting and often they take me back to earlier times in my life.

As I normally do I find more books that I might ever read. I found a book by Rudyard Kipling called The Jungle Book. I have only ever seen the wonderful fun movie of this name. There are sentimental connections with this movie from my youth. The hero of the story is a chi16AEld called Mowgli who gets lost in the heart of the jungle. It is a metaphor for many of us living in this 21st Century.

Mowgli was a nickname that somehow got attached to me when I was around ten to twelve years old. Maybe it was because I felt lost and needed to be found and taken from the heart of this jungle of conditional love.

The Jungle Book was turned into a wonderful musical cartoon full-length film. In it the character of the bear named Baloo sings a song. This song is called Bear Necessities. I love this song, as it is a song of gladness and confidence. It is a song about attraction and the experience of enough.

I often ask questions of others and myself in relation to what is essential. What is essential to life apart from food, shelter and clothing? These are essentials for the well being of the body. Beyond this what else is essential for a happy and fulfilled purpose focused life.

We have so many things, which we consider essential to living. We do this because we have forgotten our essence. We have forgotten what it is simple to be. The prefix of this word essence (esse) comes from the root of the words to be. We have forgotten how to be essential.

We have become people of the never enough. We are like the monkeys in the story of The Jungle Book. These monkeys are referred to in the book as the people of the food. They eat and eat and never seem to get enough. This I believe is a metaphor for our Western consumer society. This is because these people of the food have lost the ability to feel their essence. They have lost the knowing of how to be essential. The leader of the people of the food has become greedy for power and forgotten that nothing quiet satisfies like love.

Being is more fun. It is simply allowing the energy within to move freely. It is the ultimate freedom. It is knowing you are one with it all and can have it all. We have been taught that you are to do your life. We are taught to ransom your present moment for some dreamed of future.

The greatest gift we ever have now is to be present to this feeling of aliveness. Our disease and discomfort arise from absence from being. We have fallen out of ease with the natural flow of our lifes energy. We miss our essence and we miss what is essential for a fulfilled happy and prosperous life.

Economics tells us that we live in world of scarcity. It teaches us to live in fear of not getting our share. We more and more live in the pace of scare-city. Our media is full of images, which focus us on fear. Fear is of the ego. It is not of your essential nature. T is a product of limited thing. It is not the liberation of knowing who you are.

The bare necessities of life will come to you if you will allow them. These will be more than bare. If you allow them to be gifts and be thankful for them they will begin to fill you up. They will give meaning and comfort to you. This is the essential ingredient, which is missing from the attitude of the people of the food.

Stop struggling to do your life. Remember you are a human being and not a human doing. You have forgotten how it feels to be graced with your full humanity. You have forgotten the grace of your essence. You struggle and you constantly do in order to validate your existence. The sadness is that this teaching is passed to our children who give up their creativity for education.

We view our world as a place of competition and adversity. We approach the world with an armoured heart and then ask where the joy has gone.

The people of the food are those who live in hell. This is a psychological rather than a physical place. There is in this place a great banquet. There is food of all sorts and yet the people of the food go hungry. The irony is that the exact same thing is happening in a psychological place called heaven.

When God was asked about this situation and why one set of beings was fulfilled and the other clearly dissatisfied and even despairing. God gave a simple answer. He said In heaven we feed the other.

Life is not a jungle. It has laws that are to be followed. When we live from an essential place then there is always enough. You only have to make a heart felt commitment to being essentially who you are. This is the most courageous act any individual can make.

There is nothing to be added to the essential you. You only have to be prepared to let go. You have to be prepared to receive the bare necessities of life and allow them to come to you. Realise you are forever enough. Blessings be upon you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Fear of Commitment - The Most Natural Thing in the World

If you've ever dated you've dealt with commitment issues. More often than not, it's the man that doesn't want to commit and the woman that wants to know to ‘get' her partner to commit. The following letter is a perfect example of the fear experienced by men when faced with commitment:

"Over the years, I've had many relationships with women, and I have a pretty good time with each one until she wants to get serious. Especially if she says, I love you, I'm out of there. I've been told I have a fear of commitment, but that doesn't make sense to me. I'm really committed to my job, and I've made long-term commitments to many things, so how could I be afraid of commitment when it comes to a relationship? That old "fear of commitment" label just doesn't help me see what's happening here."

The single thing we all need most in order to be happy is Real Love, but the vast majority of us-including you, I suspect-have seen very little of that kind of love. Instead, we've seen that people "love" us when we do what they want-when we're good-but when we're inconvenient and uncooperative, we get quite a different reaction. That conditional love creates an enormous and painful emptiness within us, which we then try to fill with Imitation Love.

Real Love is, "I care about your happiness." Imitation Love is, "I like how you make ME feel." Imitation Love includes conditional approval, praise, sex, money, power. Imitation Love is traded, bought, and sold, and although it can seem pretty exciting in the moment, it never lasts and never makes us genuinely happy.

Eventually, we come to resent and fear our experiences with Imitation Love, because we don't like the constant feelings of obligation and disappointment and irritation that result from having to BUY the affection of others with our behavior. It's exhausting and unfulfilling. Trading in Imitat5B4ion Love gets to be a real drag.

That's why you tend to avoid getting close to women. Without Real Love, all you've ever known to do with women is trade Imitation Love, and although that was sometimes pretty exciting in the beginning, you've noticed that eventually the exchange of praise, sex, approval, flattery, and so on becomes less and less rewarding.

It turns to garbage. Somehow you just know-deep inside-that these women care about you only conditionally-the same way you're caring for them-and why would you want to make a commitment to anybody to experience that kind of emptiness for a lifetime?

So avoiding commitment on your part is actually brilliant. Your intuition-yes, men have intuition too-is telling you that commitment to a life of Imitation Love would be a lousy deal. Good thinking. Does that mean you'll never have a great lifelong relationship? Not at all. We'll get to that shortly.

You mentioned that you really get nervous when she says, "I love you." Of course you do. All our lives people have told us they love us, but then we find out that they like us only when we're doing things for them and when we don't inconvenience or hurt them. They often get tired of us and leave. Or they stay in our lives, but they're demanding and they criticize us.

So it's understandable that you'd have some negative feelings when you hear, "I love you." When you hear those words, it's likely 5B4that some of the following thoughts go through your mind-mostly unconsciously:

1. What do you want from me?

2. What do I have to do so you'll keep loving me?

3. Do I really want to take on the burden of doing everything it'll take so you'll keep loving me?

4. I wonder how long this will last?

5. So what? Lots of people have told me that, and I didn't end up happy because of it.

6. When are you going to hurt me like everyone else who's "loved" me?

7. I suppose now I'll have to tell you that I love you, or you'll be hurt and angry.

8. I don't know if I'm capable of loving you like you want in return.

These are all serious concerns, and they explain why many of us have difficulty making a commitment to relationships, especially marriage. We feel obligated to anybody who expresses affection for us, or we're certain that things will fall apart as they always have in the past, and then we'll feel even more hurt and alone. We want to avoid all that, so we stay away from commitment.

It's important that you see that you're afraid to commit only to a relationship based on imitation Love, because that includes trading, demands, expectations, obligation, and inevitable disappointment and pain. If you knew what a relationship based on real Love could be like, you wouldn't be afraid of that. Real Love is unconditional and could never hurt you.

When people have felt enough Rea5B4l Love in their lives and begin to share it with others, they can't imagine how they ever lived another way. By comparison, Imitation Love is utterly empty, even harmful.

The good news is this: You can learn to find Real Love. Visit the information section of RealLove.com to learn more about Real Love and take the simple but powerfully effective steps that will give you the happiness and rewarding relationships you've always wanted. When you find a partner with whom you can share that kind of joy, making a commitment to him or her is a delight, not a burden.

The world is literally dying from a lack of the one thing essential for our happinessReal Love. We spend our entire lives trying to replace that unconditional love with praise, power, sex, money, entertainment, safety, and so on. But it never works, and the resulting emptiness and fear are almost too much to bear.

Self Empowerment

How Well Do You Know Your SELF? - An Exploration of What's Inside

Many categories of self have common characteristics, and there is value in exploring them. By understanding their distinctiveness, we may gain a clearer picture of how each of us fits into the world.

Self-Esteem Also known as self-worth, a person's self-esteem is forged during the first seven or eight years of life. By then the mind has created the critical faculty (also known as the critical factor) to filter incoming messages, thus protecting the impressionable and immature subconscious. Until that is in place, absolutely everything a child hears, sees, and experiences will fashion a core belief that could be a lifetime guide.

If, during this critical period, a child consistently hears, "You are so disorganized, you'll never amount to anything," or similar judgmental put-downs, there is a strong possibility that the person will experience self-sabotage in later life. In transactional analysis, the core belief is known as the parent and it relentlessly directs behavior. Low self-esteem is created in an atmosphere of conditional love, and subsequently reinforced through negative self-talk. Unfortunately, contrary evidence is usually disregarded.

Some people endeavor to bolster their self-esteem through external elements, like marriage, alliance with others, and even the accumulation of money, titles, and degrees. While surrounding oneself with positive people has its benefits, it is problematic to define the self through external trappings.

Although it is a good thing to be proud of accomplishments, it is essential for people to make a clear distinction between their identities and their accomplishments.

All other "selves" emanate from self-esteem, that is, they take cues from the quality of the self-esteem. A fragile self-esteem will spawn weakness. A sound self-esteem, built in an environment of unconditional love, will sponsor resilient self-identities.

Self-awareness is the ability to reflect on our thought processes. We can become aware of many signals received from our bodies. We are not our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and moods. These are simply processes that we experience and are not a "part" of our essence. We are able to objectively scrutinize the way we see ourselves. This social mirror of our place within humankind allows us to evaluate the roles of nature and nurture in our own attitudes and behaviors.

Self-acceptance is the coming to terms with who we are right now, just as we are with all our faults, weaknesses, and errors, as well as our assets and strengths. It is important to appreciate that the negatives belong to us they are not us. Recognition of shortcomings is a healthy first step in personal growth. The actual self is necessarily imperfect and dynamically striving for improvement. It is always a work-in-progress. Blatantly professing to be perfect produces great mental strain.

Self-honesty is being in touch with ones own basic human instincts for justice and fairness for self and others. It means being aware of rationalizations used to counter our conscience and other internal signals. It means ridding oneself of the need to appraise self-worth in external terms. It also means assessing ones strengths and weaknesses realistically.

Self-image is a custom-built collage fabricated from how we think others see us. We tend to draw conclusions about ourselves based on how we are treated. Psychologists generally agree that people underrate themselves. An inner sense of mastery and competence is developed only when we focus on our inner core of personal vitality and creativity rather than on seemingly negative evidence.

Negative feedback can be constructive in helping us get back on course; however, when we obsess about what others think, we relentlessly and consciously monitor every act, word, and manner. This creates inhibited, self-conscious perfectionists.

Traditionally, when employees demonstrated loyalty and hard work, they had an expectation of job security, regular pay increases, and promotions. Now, in many work locations, uncertainty and stress prevail. Habitual feelings of injustice lead to the victim mode of resentment and self-pity, thus lowering self-image and self-esteem.

Self-mastery is the knowledge about how to manage oneself on a daily basis so as to maximize accomplishment. Remember the old saying, By failing to plan, people plan to fail. Setting goals that are specific, timely, achievable, measurable, accountable, and realistic, and which demand just a slight stretch, have the likelihood of being reached, if combined with passion and action.

One constant in life is change. How we manage change depends on our experience and mind-set. An unpleasant encounter may subconsciously program us to either shy away from, or preferably, relish a new challenge. It all depends on how we perceive the original event. Some of my clients are stuck in their jobs, their relationships, or their lives in general. By remaining in their comfort zone, they are denyi5B4ng themselves opportunities to live at their full capacity. Self-mastery is knowing when to learn new skills or take on new responsibilities, when to hold on to beliefs that serve you, and when to let go of beliefs that do not serve you.

Self-efficacy is the context-specific assessment of belief in our personal capabilities to organize and execute what is required so as to achieve the intended goal. It is concerned not with the skills we have, but rather with our control over our own level of functioning. People with high self-efficacy choose more demanding tasks. They set higher goals, put in more effort, and persist longer than those who are low in self-efficacy.

Self-efficacy grows through personal and vicarious experience, discipline, and valid feedback. Although usually considered in a single context, there may also be a generalized effect reflecting a persons abilities across a broad array of difficult or novel situations. For instance, if someone is loved by a supportive family on the home front, then that person will display a greater confidence on the job. This will be reflected by peer and management feedback, which will, in turn, show up on the home front, perpetuating the cycle.

Self-confidence is an external manifestation of the health of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-mastery. Although it reflects the strength of these selves, it can be purposefully overridden to become a faad5A7e that we deliberately create for external scrutiny. I had a client who was a television actor. He once told me that actors often dont know where their next job is coming from. They may seem to possess a great deal of self-confidence, but often it hides a shaky self-esteem.

If it is merely bravado, it is shallow. On the other hand, the technique of "act-as-if" can have a positive effect on the subconscious, since it cannot differentiate between something real and something vividly imagined.

Self-love is the regard you have for your own happiness. It parallels unconditional love inasmuch as, no matter what you do, you nurture yourself by giving yourself permission to take pleasure in whatever life has to offer. In the therapy of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), we use the phrase, "I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

Self-actualization is the realization of one's full potential through creativity, independence, spontaneity, and a grasp and appreciation of this world.

There were three brick-layers at work.
Each of them was asked in turn "What are you doing?"
The first brick-layer answered, "I'm laying bricks."
The second answered, "My job... to support my family."
And the third bricklayer smiled and said, "Me? Why, I'm building the world's most magnificent cathedral."

The Next Election Will Be About Fear

Everything built up will fall, and all that falls will rise again - this could be called the cycle of existence. When things are about to fall in this cycle, there are premonitions that wash through our hearts, and the premonitions have definite signs:

We lose our Generosity:

We become increasingly out for ourselves, because we are afraid. Earlier in our history, we were fearless; we would give the shirt off our back to a neighbor in need even if it was the last shirt we had. We really cared for each other. But now, we can't count on help from our neighbors. It all began many years ago when we allowed the homeless to fend for themselves, and we guiltily looked the other way. We didn't even realize that we were becoming fearful.

"Others are my main concern. When I notice something of mine, I steal it and give it to others."

- Shantideva

We lose our Principles:

We can no longer define our principles. Whatever is required to meet our goals seems to be our morals now. And our goals...? To get as much as we can before someone else does. It all stems from fear, and we will vote for the one who promises to allay the greatest number of our fears, whether those fears are economic, religious, or political. We look to our leaders to do this for us, because we no longer trust ourselves to make a stand for what we believe. We can't even grasp right from wrong anymore; it all gets distorted beyond our comprehension.

1. Avoid killing, or harming any living thing.

2. Avoid stealing -- taking what is not yours to take.

3. Avoid sexual irresponsibility, which for m5B4onks and nuns means celibacy.

4. Avoid lying, or any hurtful speech.

5. Avoid alcohol and drugs which diminish clarity of consciousness.

- Buddhist precepts

We lose our Patience

When things don't go our way, we get angry; we can't accept the fact that we have problems. Problems are part of existence, and existence is conflict, but we can't see this, and we believe that existence should be easy. But it's not. So, because we don't understand, we get angry; we try to make existence bow to our wishes. Then we blame others for our problems.

"The Greatest Prayer is patience."

- Buddha

We lose our Resolve

"It is not good to begin many different works, saying 'This looks good; that looks good', touching this, touching that, and not succeeding in any of them. If you do not generate great desires but aim at what is fitting, you can actualize the corresponding potencies and become an expert in that. With success, the power or imprint of that practice is generated."

- The Dalai Lama

We lose our Wisdom

One sign is when, as a society, we begin thinking that we are infallible, that nothing can go wrong anymore because we have control - this is a sure sign that the fall is about to happen - we lose our wisdom.

"The mind is everything. What you think you become."

- Buddha

We lose our Compassion

Our love is only one side of a two-sided coin, the other side be5B4ing hatred. We love ours, but hate theirs. True compassion is unconditional love. Conditional love cannot help but have anger as its companion.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

- Buddha

We lose our Truthfulness

Fear drives us to do whatever is necessary to secure ourselves, including lying. The entire world is becoming a used car lot, and we are either the customers being swindled, or the salesman doing the swindling. Whether it is mortgage companies, religious leaders, or politicians. It is all becoming untruthful.

"Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

- Buddha

We lose our Composure

Whatever happens in the world cycle will arise and pass. Governments, movements, and politicians will come and go, but your own actions will remain in your heart eternally.

"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."

The 3 Biggest Secrets For Staying Married For Life

Managing your marriage doesnt have to be difficult. It takes a few initiatives on your part to get yourself into the proper prospective of how marriage really works. Marriage is about living your purpose and attaining your goals that are related to that purpose.

1. Marriage Takes Team Players

Marriage takes team players working together to accomplish the same objectives. It doesnt matter what those goals are, but what does matter is how you play the game. For an example, a wife should not go her own way, and not consider her husband and the husband should not go his own way without considering his wife. What is that anyway? Thats not the intention of Gods design for marriage. I think thats downright selfishness.

In marriage there is no room for selfish actions. Each spouse should look for ways to build each other up for the good of the marriage. When you work with your spouse, helping them and encouraging them when they need it, you are helping the marriage to become all that it can be. Do you realize that marriage is a gift from God?

God gave Adam and Eve the gift of each other. Eve was a beautiful sight to behold for Adam and the marriage was consummated when he became one in flesh with her. The gift to us is that a man will leave his parents so he can be united to his wife, and become one in the sexual joining together with her. This is what marriage is!

If you could imagine for moment, the person you married as a gift from God, then your actions would begin to work towards building up the gift you have been blessed with, instead of doing things that would tear down the gift and damage the marriage union.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:22-24

2. Marriage Takes Commitment

In marriage commitment is finishing what you start? When you stand at the altar, making promises and stating your vows to the person you love that is the starting point for your commitment to stay married for life?

How well you keep those promises and vows shows your level of commitment to the marriage. Are you still married to your first love? Commitment is not difficult to achieve when we make marriage an important aspect of our life.
We can follow Gods design meant for marriage or we can follow the flawed design of society.

The culture of today has shown us how to throw marriage aside as if it means nothing. But Gods intention for marriage is a commitment for life. At the beginning of the world God created the union of marriage between a man and a woman to be permanent until death. Treat your gift with the commitment it deserves.

3. Marriage Takes Respect

Respecting the person you married takes action. Respe5B4ct is submission, humility and appreciation all rolled into one. The flawed view of this is that couples believe these things need to be earned. Earning points to be treated with respect is wrong. This is what conditional love is all about. But Gods design for marriage is based upon unconditional love for each other. Submission is voluntarily cooperating with your spouse out of love and respect for them.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:5-6

Bottom line is if you work together, commit yourselves to the marriage and respect one another the devil cannot come in and devour your marriage.

Tarot & Psychic Insight - Common Reasons for Inaccurate Tarot Readings

Most people know that tarot cards are about as evil as coloring books. Instead of being tools of some satanic force, theyre simply pieces of cardboard with pictures that help to trigger intuition. The more intuitive a reader is, and the more they know the cards and have established a dependable system to use them, the more accurate their readings are.

Of course, the question for the tarot reader is important too. General, unfocussed, or trivial questions tend to get poor results. Specific questions tend to 16C4get specific answers. Questions such as Will I be rich? or When will I meet my soul mate? are very common, but not well stated; rich means different things to different people and we all have many soul mates. What will be with the idea I have for a business? or What will be with my love life in the next 6 months? are much more appropriate questions. Also, if the questioner isnt supposed to know something because it may interfere with his or her destined path, for example, a good reader will know the question isnt meant to be explored.

Another important yet often overlooked factor which effects accuracy with tarot spreads is personal energy. Just as you have a great energy connection with certain friends which results in great experiences, or a poor energy connection with a neighbor who isnt respectful, positive or negative energy between a reader and client can greatly influence the quality of the reading.

For example, when Stephen does a tarot reading for a long-standing client with whom he has a great working relationship, the energy connection is good and that persons faith in Stephen as a reader allows the information he receives to flow freely and copiously. Alternatively, when he does a reading for someone whos very critical and skeptical or who happens to be projecting, for whatever reason, a lot of negativity energy, because of Stephens strong empathic and spiritually sensitive state, hell feel blocked and not compelled to help the person.

How does tarot work? There are many theories, but we believe tarot readings can very effectively outline current and destined personal circumstances because there exists a divine order in this Universe, everyone is intimately connected to this order, and because fate exists. Also, the 78 unique tarot cards and the methods employed using them are mathematically and symbolically synchronistic with what is. An experienced tarot reader can tap into this synchronicity. It is not an accident or coincidence when certain cards appear in certain positions in the tarot spread of an experienced reader.

Some readers claim that their tarot spreads are ...only about the current path you are on. Its possible you will change directions and avoid the outcome indicated. In some cases this can be true, but some readers might say this because they lack confidence in their abilities, or to attempt to empower their clients and keep them from feeling too much fear about the future.

However, based on our 22+ years (combined 44+) of experience with metaphysics, we believe that the majority of significant future personal life events and circumstances, as outlined by tarot, comprehensive astrology and numerology, and other esoteric sciences, are immutable. If something is going to happen, its going to happen.

We believe, based on years of regular spreads for ourselves and others, that the future can be seen through tarot. However, as stated above, results depend heavily upon the reader and other factors listed in this column.

Lastly, to provide a better idea of why some readers dont offer as much insight as you might hope, here are some other common reasons for inaccurate tarot readings:

*The reader, even with an extremely successful track record and a very consistent, high accuracy level, has an off reading and happens to give one of his or her inaccurate readings to the client (no reader is 100% accurate).

*The reader is inexperienced with the process and, or does not yet know at least the bulk of the symbolism found through each of the 78 cards.

*The reader is not very intuitive, or his or her intuition is blocked for whatever reason.

*The readers philosophies and beliefs conflict with what is (e.g., he or she tells the client that they can cheat fate and erase all of their tough karma without having to directly balance it, or that they can have the relationship of their dreams whenever they want, creating a permanent, blissful, conflict-free life-partner situation without the use of self-deception, manipulation, and conditional love).

*The day and time (universal, and the clients personal numerological and astrological timing) of the reading strongly suggests, despite the high level of expertise and accuracy of the reader, that information imparted at that moment may not be as appropriate or accurate as it would be at other times.

*The client is fated to hear specific information in the reading that turns out to be inaccurate, but that information helps to ultimately steer them in the right direction.

*The reader is biased about the issue related to the reading; human filters can and sometimes do get in the way of spiritual guidance.

Decline Of Buddhism In India

Vedic Astrology Horoscope - Sun in Cancer - Venus - Moon - More on Saturn

The Sun has entered Cancer in the Sidereal zodiac, bringing a strong tendency to nurture and emotionally protect our loved ones. When the Sun goes through Cancer the quality of divine motherhood is awakened in each of us at least that is the potential. Suddenly theres a renewed sensitivity to all of us as children. There is a great possibility for all to lay down their weapons and sympathize with their enemies for the next couple of weeks.

Cancer is the sign of sensitivity, compassion and motherhood. It is ruled by the moon, the planet of selfless love, nurturing and peace. This is different than the type of love we have in relationships which are transactional in nature. Relationship love is between two equals, two grown-ups. In relationship love, each person has to hold up their part of the bargain, whatever that bargain is. Every relationship has different boundaries that are negotiated and, however strange those boundaries may look to outsiders, as long as the two partnered agree with the terms, and honor them - theres usually smooth sailing.

This is what make5B4s the relationship house (seventh house) a secondary business / career house. We use the same negotiating skills at our job that we use in our romantic relationship - after all, people are people. The larger issue in relationships is our ability to compromise and satisfy our desires as well as accommodate another persons. Those who are able to yield their desires with dignity do well in relationships. But this takes an authentic desire to please others combined with an equally authentic intuition which knows where to draw the line and can draw that line without anger or excessive ego.

However, the capacity to play fair and negotiate and uphold common boundaries, etc. will be very damaging in a parent / child relationship. Once a parent starts demanding the child treat them as an equal, at least when theyre young, there can be great harm done. Of course, once the child grows up into teenage years and beyond the relationship starts to develop and mature. But still, the parent must always put the needed the child ahead of their own. Fortunately, nature makes this easy once the child begins to grow up and develop their own personality, many immature parents stop serving the child / selflessly loving the child - and start to a great deal of harm.

Negotiating proper relationship boundaries are related to Venus and powerfully expressed through the Cardinal sign she rules, Libra - the sign of relationships. And, as was sai5B4d, the Moon rules selfless parental love that only knows how to give. The mother loves the child no matter what the child does. But this shows the inherent struggle between Venus and the moon - the inherent struggle between selfless love and conditional love.

Its very easy to mix these two things up in our mind. When relationships become dominated by a selfless, parental type of love is only a matter of time before it starts to feel like abuse for one and co-managing for the other. There has to be accountability first, only then can romantic love become selfless, devoted love. Similarly if the parent / child love is too transactional, with a parent constantly insisting upon the immature mind of the child to be accountable for their emotional mistakes, as we would expect from our partner, much trouble arises also. Without the paradigm of selfless love in the parent/child relationship, the parent will not be able to insist upon accountability without the child feeling attacked.

This is an important issue at this time with Venus about to go retrograde into the sign of Cancer. In Vedic astrology both the moon and the Sun are enemies of Venus. This enmity is expressed in different ways. The influence of the moon on Venus (including occupying the sign of Cancer) is to confuse the transactional nature and expectation of adult relationship boundaries with the utterly selfless, caretaking, maternal nature of the moon. The infl5ACuence of the Sun on Venus (including occupying the sign of Leo) is to insist upon a passionate, fiery and romantically accountable nature.

These themes will play out in the upcoming Venus retrograde cycle discussed last week in this newsletter.

The upcoming Venus retrograde cycle will mirror the recent Saturn retrograde cycle and also foreshadow next years Mars/Ketu conjunction at 28 Cancer. There is another very important factor that must be kept in mind relative to this Saturn / Venus relationship.

About That Dream

Anamchara - Living An Essential Life

What is essential in your life? This question contains one of the most important words an question can address. This is the word "essence." To know your "essence" is to live the mystery of life rather than the illusion of "your life."

One of my simple pleasures is browsing second hand bookshops. They have a very distinct smell. They feel warm and inviting and often they take me back to earlier times in my life.

As I normally do I find more books that I might ever read. I found a book by Rudyard Kipling called The Jungle Book. I have only ever seen the wonderful fun movie of this name. There are sentimental connections with this movie from my youth. The hero of the story is a chi16AEld called Mowgli who gets lost in the heart of the jungle. It is a metaphor for many of us living in this 21st Century.

Mowgli was a nickname that somehow got attached to me when I was around ten to twelve years old. Maybe it was because I felt lost and needed to be found and taken from the heart of this jungle of conditional love.

The Jungle Book was turned into a wonderful musical cartoon full-length film. In it the character of the bear named Baloo sings a song. This song is called Bear Necessities. I love this song, as it is a song of gladness and confidence. It is a song about attraction and the experience of enough.

I often ask questions of others and myself in relation to what is essential. What is essential to life apart from food, shelter and clothing? These are essentials for the well being of the body. Beyond this what else is essential for a happy and fulfilled purpose focused life.

We have so many things, which we consider essential to living. We do this because we have forgotten our essence. We have forgotten what it is simple to be. The prefix of this word essence (esse) comes from the root of the words to be. We have forgotten how to be essential.

We have become people of the never enough. We are like the monkeys in the story of The Jungle Book. These monkeys are referred to in the book as the people of the food. They eat and eat and never seem to get enough. This I believe is a metaphor for our Western consumer society. This is because these people of the food have lost the ability to feel their essence. They have lost the knowing of how to be essential. The leader of the people of the food has become greedy for power and forgotten that nothing quiet satisfies like love.

Being is more fun. It is simply allowing the energy within to move freely. It is the ultimate freedom. It is knowing you are one with it all and can have it all. We have been taught that you are to do your life. We are taught to ransom your present moment for some dreamed of future.

The greatest gift we ever have now is to be present to this feeling of aliveness. Our disease and discomfort arise from absence from being. We have fallen out of ease with the natural flow of our lifes energy. We miss our essence and we miss what is essential for a fulfilled happy and prosperous life.

Economics tells us that we live in world of scarcity. It teaches us to live in fear of not getting our share. We more and more live in the pace of scare-city. Our media is full of images, which focus us on fear. Fear is of the ego. It is not of your essential nature. T is a product of limited thing. It is not the liberation of knowing who you are.

The bare necessities of life will come to you if you will allow them. These will be more than bare. If you allow them to be gifts and be thankful for them they will begin to fill you up. They will give meaning and comfort to you. This is the essential ingredient, which is missing from the attitude of the people of the food.

Stop struggling to do your life. Remember you are a human being and not a human doing. You have forgotten how it feels to be graced with your full humanity. You have forgotten the grace of your essence. You struggle and you constantly do in order to validate your existence. The sadness is that this teaching is passed to our children who give up their creativity for education.

We view our world as a place of competition and adversity. We approach the world with an armoured heart and then ask where the joy has gone.

The people of the food are those who live in hell. This is a psychological rather than a physical place. There is in this place a great banquet. There is food of all sorts and yet the people of the food go hungry. The irony is that the exact same thing is happening in a psychological place called heaven.

When God was asked about this situation and why one set of beings was fulfilled and the other clearly dissatisfied and even despairing. God gave a simple answer. He said In heaven we feed the other.

Life is not a jungle. It has laws that are to be followed. When we live from an essential place then there is always enough. You only have to make a heart felt commitment to being essentially who you are. This is the most courageous act any individual can make.

There is nothing to be added to the essential you. You only have to be prepared to let go. You have to be prepared to receive the bare necessities of life and allow them to come to you. Realise you are forever enough. Blessings be upon you.

Reincarnation is a Promise of Unconditional Love

Reincarnation is the grandest aspect of unconditional love, and the least understood as part of our natural life cycle.

Because many people do not understand what unconditional love really is, it is no wonder that they do not understand or recognize the value of reincarnation. Conditional love would say that you have one turn on the holodeck. Unconditional love would say that you have as many turns as your feel necessary to experience all that you desire.

When we love our children unconditionally, we do not try to change them, but to guide them. We give them as many turns as necessary unconditionally to make it on their own. A good parent recognizes the strengths of their children, and allows freedom for them to explore there own potential, while still maintaining their love for them. Mistakes, errors, screw-ups are all part of the learning process and a parent doesn't withdraw their love or threaten because the child wonders off the path or makes a mistake.

Unconditional love is unconditional freedom-freedom to make as many mistakes as is necessary to accomplish a desired goal. Reincarnation is the ultimate freedom that our creator has given us-to come back as many times as is necessary to accomplish a desired experience. No love could be greater than that. It is a birthright that is known by the soul before it incarnates into the physical world.

In the awareness of the possibility of reincarnation, one is given unlimited freedom and limitless opportunity to fully explore the physical world, and what it has to offer. In the awareness of this freedom, comes confidence that one will achieve his desires on a grander scale.

In the awareness of my own physical experience, I know that I will probably wake up tomorrow and carry on with my life and what I had planned for today, next week, and next year. There is continuity in what I desire from one day to another because my focus is on a limited physical life that may last up to 100 years or longer. However we are often taught or believe that we must focus on the first 65 years. Often little thought is given to the next 35 or so years, because we don't consider the5B4m productive, or at the very least we believe them to be our declining years, and a prelude to death or non-life.

We often miss the importance of these years as a prelude to another life-a preparation for a transformation to a higher level of existence in a more evolved world-the one we already live in. What we are doing here is experiencing physical life and all that it has to offer, but we are also preparing the world and our children to create the next world that we will experience upon our return.

Recently I finished reading the book "The Indigo Children." I was first alarmed by the realization of their existence and what they were bringing into this world now. Their characteristics are rebellious to current conditions and a world that is about to transform. Old ideas die hard, and transformation brings chaos and death to ideologies that have brought us this far.

For a brief moment I was feeling uncomfortable about these children-the worlds new stewards. Then I realized that they would not be stewards of my old world, but of a new world I have helped create, and that I will be returning to later. I will become one of these children upon my return. I will be one of their indigo children in one or more generations of physical life. I must trust them to take care of this world in my absence.

In awareness and focus of a physical existence that spans more than one lifetime, I can see the significance of reincarnat5B4ion. I can also see how important it is not to give up on what I am creating or experiencing now. I can see how vital it is to have long term goals, aspirations, and concerns for the world and its future circumstances.

Many of us do not consider these important aspects of physical life and their significance to our own future.

I have said myself in short sightedness-that I am glad I am leaving this world behind-that I will not have to deal with a future I do not understand. I have also felt like many that I do not understand the new generation and their indifference to what I know of this world, and have experienced.

For many, there is some comfort in a belief that they will die and go somewhere else-that they will not return, and they will not have to deal with what they have left behind. However this would be like starting a new book and finishing it after the first chapter. It is very short sighted and an unenlightened philosophy.

Reincarnation is a very real option for most of us-it is also a choice, a choice of freedom that comes from unconditional love. Most of us will return, and carry-on with our lives in a new body, that is equipped for the new world we have been building generation after generation. This is long term thinking that is consistent with the natural tendency for life to always move towards a higher level of experience.

I welcome these new children (our future leaders). I look forward t5B4o understanding them and to giving them guidance and opportunity. I am excited at the prospect of being one of their children, and being guided by them into a future world that will be different than the one I have known and left behind.

I believe one of the greatest hindrances to our own evolution has been this misconception-that we will not have to deal with the circumstances of the present world, after we have passed on-that it is all over. This short-term thinking has left our children a world that they must abandon or clean up. Many of us have disowned this world, thinking that we have not been part of its evolution-nothing could be farther from the truth. Everyone that has been born into this world, has contributed to its circumstances and evolution. You are responsible whether you accept it or not. You have participated in its technology, its pollution, and its degradation. You have contributed to the necessity for a new human to evolve to take over for you. You have created your new parents and a new world. You have left your example, your history and your insight for others-and a promise of a reincarnated you, to follow. Death is not an escape-it is another opportunity to repeat your mistakes or move away from them.

When seen from this perspective, life brings on a whole new expanded meaning. It brings greater opportunities for more abundance, happiness, and a brighter future. It leaves behind fear as we begin to ma5B4ke friends with it-in the realization that it is within our own personal power to create the world of our dreams. We will not be punished for our mistakes; we will experience the results of them, and will have the freedom to move away from them-at will.

This life is not final, and you will have as many turns as you wish. Your present incarnation is not the first stage, nor is it the last and there will be as many as you desire. You are not doomed, nor are you a victim-you are a creator. It is within your own personal power to create the world which suites you. It is within your own thoughts to experience the present world as Heaven, Hell, Nirvana, Stovokor (if you're Klingon) or anything else that your imagination is capable of.

You will return to this world and experience it as anything that you can imagine. Where-ever you think you are going, that is what you will experience. But, it will not be another place-it will be the place that you have created-here! It is the experience of the physical world that changes, not the physical world itself. Matter is formed and reformed in a manner that reflects your thoughts, your imagination.

Reincarnation comes from the greatest love of all-unconditional love. Unconditional love is unconditional freedom to experience all that you desire-unconditionally!

Just as I have created these pages, I know I will have a chance to change them-make any corrections that I feel necessar591y. I will do this in a near future (over breakfast), that I will create. Because I know that I will have this opportunity-I will not panic, I will not be desperate, and I will not react from fear.

It doesn't matter whether you believe in reincarnation or not. What you believe now, is what you will experience when you die. However, because you have freedom to choose, why would you not choose to experience something that works within your own best light? Why would you choose something that does not raise you to the next level of awareness-something that is better than what you are experiencing now?

Reincarnation is just such a choice. It is our birthright, our inheritance, our guarantee of continuance. Life cannot be created nor destroyed. Life is all there is, and it continuous.
