Cosmic Rays - scientists have yet to work out where most high-energy cosmic rays come from. Either an increase striking our atmosphere, or a weakening of our shields, will let in more cosmic rays. They are already zipping through your body every second, and they could end up being our silent killers.

As one example of their danger, airlines do not let pregnant women work on their inter-continental routes, because of the increased exposure to cosmic rays at those heights.

Crustal Displacement - a physical pole shift. The mechanism is not understood, and most theories are just wild guesses. However it seems quite likely we had one 12,000 years ago, and what goes around, comes around.

Charles Hapgood provided substantial evidence for a pole shift at that time, and Allan and Delair have added to it in their book Cataclysm!: Compelling Evidence of a Cosmic Catastrophe in 9500 B.C. Take into account that Albert Einstein endorsed Hapgood's ideas, and we have something to worry about.

Flu Pandemic - it might not be swine flu, but flu researchers say a deadly pandemic is not a case of if, but when. Our generation is generally unaware of how bad the pandemic of 1918 was - it killed 50 million people. It was the number one cause of death amongst soldiers in WW1. Being killed by the enemy came second.

At 2004 study told us that a GRB from a distance of just one kilo parsec could destroy half of Earth's ozone layer. It suggests that historical mass extinctions may have been caused by GRBs. NASA explains how gamma-ray radiation from a relatively nearby star explosion, hitting the Earth for only ten seconds, could deplete up to half of the atmosphere's protective ozone layer.

Recovery could take at least five years. With the ozone layer damaged, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun could kill much of the life on land and near the surface of oceans and lakes, and disrupt the food chain.

Alien Invasion that conceive will come along 2012 is another hypothesis makes the end of the world. And the truth about alien invasion is no evidence, but plenty of trusters.

NASA 2012 at youtube.com — http://www.hobeze.com showed a terrific digest by revelatory issues that could bump whenever the giant meteor 'Armageddon' style come near earth target falls upon the earth. And they thought it was come at 2012

Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from our Sun

A CME was behind the solar storm of 1859. It occurred in September of that year, causing the failure of telegraph systems across North America and Europe. Accompanying the storm were auroras that are normally only seen in the Arctic and Antarctic, but were visible as far south as the Caribbean.

Typically we would expect a storm of 1859's magnitude cause power blackouts and wreck satellites. But do we really know how big they can get? In 2009 NASA told us to be wary of solar storms, and warned of the dangers to America's ancient overloaded power grid. Being without power for a few months, in the developed world, is a lot more serious than most people realize.

Doomsday Amount Prediction in 2012

There are some possibly things that might happen in the year 2012 caused of a doomsday. And here are the 5 biggest possibilities:

• Giant Asteroid Meteor Comet Crash with our earth
• Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from our Sun
• Magnetic Pole Shift
• Explosion from the black hole at the center of our galaxy
• Religious Apocalypse or rapture or judgement day

Just check those up and got your own opinion, is it myth or real? Is it just story, imagine, or would happen? Is it the year of 2012 the world will be end?

Pole reversals have been happening on average once every 400,000 years, with the most recent one being 730,000 years ago - so we are well overdue. Not only do we not know much about reversals, scientists are still unsure about how our magnetic field is generated. Long thought to be a by-product of the movements of liquid iron in our planet's core, recent studies are suggesting that our salty oceans might be the cause.

Explosion from the black hole at the center of our galaxy

In 1983 Dr Paul LaViolette described the dangers of a Galactic core explosion. He explained that it would generate a cosmic ray superwave, and it would be signaled by a gamma ray burst. He also warned us that a gravity wave might travel ahead of the superwave.

If seems likely that the 2004 tsunami and earthquake in 2009 was caused by a gravity wave, because the accompanying GRB arrived just 21 hours later, and was the brightest ever observed, 100 times brighter than any other seen in recorded history. This gravity wave did not come from our galactic center, but if it had, perhaps the effects would have been much worse.

Did Giant Asteroid or Meteor or Comet Will Crash With Earth in 2012

The ancient, advanced civilizations have one distinct advantage over us - they may have observed the skies for longer, and may have spotted an orbit that will culminate in a collision with Earth in 2012. This is easily the most predictable disaster for 2012. With recent discussion of dark comets, we have become aware of the possibility of our planet being struck with little or no warning.

Religious Apocalypse or rapture or judgement day

Most religions predict such a day. Conspiracy theorists suggest that many world leaders have apocalyptic beliefs, and may even be attempting to cause Biblical prophecy to be fulfilled in 2012 via their actions. If it helps, the Bible says “But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.”

But then again, maybe God changed his mind since the Bible was written, and told some people the date of the apocalypse? Maybe he told the ancient Mayans? Possibilities could be argued ad infinitum

Doomsday Amount Prediction in 2012

The Long Count Calendar of the Ancient Mayans ends on Dec 21 2012. There isn't much information regarding what the Mayans thought would occur in 2012, but the consensus of opinion is that there will be great change. To some people this means a positive, spiritual change. Others, like myself, consider that a catastrophic event may have been predicted.

There is zero scientific evidence that anything will happen, but there are numerous things that could easily threaten the human species in the year 2012, such as a geomagnetic reversal, asteroid strike or supernova. Or something more intimate, like a flu pandemic, or a nuclear war.

However there are some possibility happened at the year of 2012 I will post  here soon.

The world of dreams is truly fascinating and mysterious. Dreams are said to hold many different meanings, while some dreams could be expressions of your subconscious desires, others could either offer solutions to life's complex problems through visual imagery or may even indicate a future event or happening.

Nightmares on the other hand are often attributed to our hidden fears or troublesome memories of the past. Whatever meaning you chose to believe in, but to be able to de-code dreams you must first remember them. Most of us forget our dreams soon after we get up in the morning. The following tips however, will be able to help you remember and recall them.

Maintain a dream journal: Keep a journal by your bedside and make it a point to write down your dream the moment you get up. You may feel too lazy to do it in the beginning, but remember a little bit of self-discipline will help you form a very useful habit.

Listen to subliminal messages:

Use subliminal messages to train your mind to be aware that you will be dreaming as you are falling asleep; this helps you to be aware of them dream during, and afterwards you will remember more efficiently.

When you are dreaming, it's your subconscious mind that's active. Subliminal messages have the power to influence and re-program the subconscious. These messages whether in the form of text, video or audio have the power to influence and re-program the subconscious mind. The most commonly used instruments for transmitting subliminal messages are audio cds.

Dreams are like stories that the subconscious weaves for us every night, if the conscious mind could remember these tales in the vivid detail they were told, unlocking the mysterious world of dreams would become easier.

Our world is beautiful, full of power and promise. However, many of us who come into this world with magical knowledge are slowly conditioned (or brain-washed) into believing that the only way to live fully is to unconditionally surrender to an invisible God.

Nothing is further than the truth. This invisible energy that permeates every atom in the Universe is also present in us. And the spirits that reside in us are equally powerful at directing the energy to manifest changes that we desire in our life. In other words, our spirits have the power to create our future without the "control" of any other entity in this world. However, we are not alone in this creation. We can co-operate with other entities and elements and ask for their assistance and guidance just as a child learning to walk asks an adult for help. Even without the adult's help, she may be able to walk, but it may take some more time, that's all!

Magick is the practice of using all of our powers to create changes in the Universe. As most of us know, these changes can be beneficial to everyone or may even harm everyone. Since the Universe is also a living, thriving, conscious entity and a sum total of all the energy that is present, it balances the negative energy by sending it back to the source it came from. Magick has been around since humans appeared on Earth. It is the most natural way of thinking and creating the world around us. Magick spells are personalized attempts to use our own energy in order to achieve our goals. It is the imposition of human will on nature. Just as our mind creates energy, words (sounds), objects, chants, movements (dancing) etc can add to the power of the spells. To cast spells, we need to know:

1. The end goal
2. The path to get to it.

The best way to find the path to our goals is to sit down and meditate about it. For example, Love is desired by almost everyone on earth. But the "definition of love" varies widely. Let's assume that we are doing a love spell. The first thing to do is to write down your thoughts on what your future needs to be. You can imagine even the tiniest details and make your own plan. The best way to get into the realm of creation is to meditate. To enable us to enter that deep meditative state, we can use the help of many items such as candles,

Many of the objects we see around us, especially the natural ones, are full of energy and power that we can use in our spell. The celestial bodies including the Moon and the Sun, planets and stars are all here to help and guide us in our journey. So we can create a ritual that enhances our experience and establishes our intentions more powerfully by just including these entities in our spell plan.

Most of us at one time or another has wanted to look more beautiful. However, the definition of beauty varies around the world. Depending on the race, country, hemisphere, weather, and many other criteria, being more beautiful may mean looking darker, whiter, rounder, skinnier, with large eyes, with smaller eyes, with large nose, smaller nose, etc.

You get the idea. Beauty means a lot of different things to people all over the world.

Glamour magick consists of spells that witches use to temporarily appear more "glamorous" or beautiful. Remember that physical appearance is not easy to change. Most of us are the way we are because of our genes and our habits. By changing our habits, we may be able to change some of our characteristics.

However we can create an illusion of change such as wearing makeup around the eyes to make it larger and more pronounced.

Glamour magick enables us to temporarily change our view of ourselves. Or may be even to change other's perception of our beauty. Remember that inner beauty is more important for a successful life than external beauty as the wise people insist on the truth that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". Moonbeams bath spell One of the most sacred and popular among the ancient Romany spells is the Moonbeams Bath Spell. The Moon Goddess is perceived as the giver of Magick as well as Feminine power.

Moonbeams are charged with energy and when they fall on our periphery, they charge us with amazing beauty and strength. On a full moon day, stand naked inside your room or outside if you can do so privately. The moonbeams should come through the window if you are in a room. Move around and allow the moonbeams to enter you and enhance your beauty with their powers.

Visualize your dreams coming true. Whatever you need, thick tresses, beautiful eyes, full lips, weight loss, weight gain, etc, remember that nothing can faze the Moon Goddess. Be descriptive in your explanation and thank the Moon Goddess for guiding you and for making your dreams come true.

Offer her some wine from a chalice as libation. You may throw some cookies and a kiss to the Goddess as you complete the spell. Crown of Glory spell This spell is effective if you think that your hair is thin and wispy. For this spell, you need an onion, a shot of vodka and 1 tablespoon of honey. On a new moon day, while you sit in a warm bath with the smell of herbs in the air, mix the concoction of Onion juice, vodka and honey together.

While you sit in the bath, slowly massage your scalp with this liquid. Chant: "My hair grows as the Moon grows". Leave the mixture on your head for about thirty minutes and then wash it off with shampoo. Repeat on every new Moon day until you are happy with the results.

Reading aura can be a fun and exciting line of work to get into. Everyone's aura changes color at any given time depending on what they are doing, what is going on around them and the situations they are involved with.

Here are the basic color and meanings with each below to help explain a bit more on reading aura colors:

Red: This is the densest color and creates the most friction. This color deals with money worries or obsessions; anger or non-forgiveness; anxiety or nervousness.

Orange: This deals with vitality, vigor, good health and excitement. It is suggestive of energy and stamina, creative, productive, adventurous, courageous, outgoing social nature; currently experiencing stress related to appetites and addictions.

Yellow: TIt is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.

Green: It is a very comfortable, healthy color of nature. When seen in the aura this usually represents growth and balance, and most of all, something that leads to change.

Blue: It is suggestive of cool, calm, and collected issues, along with caring, loving, sensitive, and intuitive.

Indigo: This color is suggestive of intuition, sensitive, and deep feeling.

Violet: The most sensitive and wisest of colors. This is the intuitive color in the aura, and reveals psychic power of attunement with self.

Black: This color draws or pulls energy to it and in so doing, transforms it. It captures light and consumes it.

White: This color relates to other energy. A pure state of light. It is suggestive of spiritual issues, etheric and non-physical qualities, transcendent, and higher dimensions.

There are many other colors your aura can shown as well as variations of these colors, such as turquoise is a color combination of blue and green and relates to different meanings.

I have explained the 7 main colors on the visual spectrum as well as black and white as these are the major ones that are shown in an aura reading. Other colors can be shown as well such as gold, silver, lavender, as well as variations of the above mentioned 7 main colors.

Metals were seen as valuable by pagans even though they did not really know how rare they were and precious, they put great symbolism on their strength, the ability to create weapons and their longevity. Leaders were buried with chattels and weapons of the strongest metals and the rarest stones, which also held great symbolic strength.

Pagans, although strongly regulated by the cycles of the earth it self, showed us perhaps ways to respect nature and work with her instead of against her. Because their lives were so closely tied with the cycle of life and the seasons, it is no wonder they placed huge importance on gaining favors to obtain fertility and good harvest so they could get through each year and survive into the spring and summer.

Whatever faith we have ourselves, sometimes, you begin to think a little touch of the pagan is not such a bad thing!

Even though the terms pagan and paganism have shifted in meaning to the general public over the years, even though there has never truly been a consensus accepted definition of these terms, we do know that there are many traditional pagan symbols that resonate throughout all forms of paganism, from ancient polytheism to modern neopaganism. Thus it is ironically easier to define their meaning than the meaning of paganism itself!

There are thousands of symbols and one would not be able to list them all in a book let alone one short essay. That said, there are some which stand above the rest in terms of importance and frequency of use and it is those I have come to write about here.

The most well known of the pagan symbols is the pentagram. Unfortunately it is also the most misunderstood. It is the symbol people who are against pagan concepts use to distort paganism into glorified Devil Worship. The horror movies do not help matters. Seeing as how pagan concepts predate all forms of Catholicism and Christianity this view is patently false.

That is not to say this symbol is not used in Black Mass and other forms of Satanism. It is. But it is turned upside down and for those people symbolizes something entirely different than the pagans they stole it from!

Horoscopes appear in numerous magazines and newspapers and are even more prevalent with the influx of the Internet.

It is not uncommon for people to read these horoscopes and try to take the advice personally and apply it to their own lives. Even some public skeptics can occasionally be caught taking a glance at the horoscopes and secretly thinking about how the information applies to their life.

While horoscopes can offer advice on a wide cache of life events, everything from love life to picking lottery numbers, one area in which they present much advice is that of the health of the person with a particular zodiac sign.

A long time ago, I happened across such a magazine article that was specifically about medicinal astrology. When I compared the information for the health problems it discussed for my present and future to what I knew of my own health, I was quite surprised at the accuracy of the explanations and predictions pertaining to my sign. I was well aware of my own health strengths and weaknesses, and the horoscope directly correlated with the condition of my present health and the likelihood of my future health. Since then, I have continued my exploration of astro-medicine.

The arrangement of planets during the moment of the birth of a child specifies predisposition to disease that can arise at moving planets through sensitive areas of Natal cards during his/her lifetime. In astrology, there is a rule that says, "Stars assume, but do not force."

Therefore, it is important to remember that influence of planets on the health of a person can always be weakened by self-discipline, a correct diet and appropriate thoughts. Until now, traditional medicine has dealt only with diagnostics and treatment of illnesses after signs of disease presented and the patient visit a doctor because he/she is already sick.

During our time, however, a growing number of doctors silently use astrology in the diagnostics of some diseases. These doctors know that in cases of serious diseases, early astrological diagnostics can define border between a life and death.

Guardian angels, birth guides and spirit runners, what are all of these things?

I have been working with my own personal angel, guides and runners for as long as I can remember. I was born with a wonderful gift, as alot of us are, but was fortunate enough to have my gift developed and enhanced throughout my lifetime to where I am today.

All of these different types of spirit forms can come in and out of our lives at any given time. We are all born with at least two different birth guides. Some are born with even a few more depending on their spiritual and life path that is chosen. These birth guides are yours, and yours alone. They work only with you and the spiritual realm to help you on your physical pathway through life as well as keep open lines of communication between you and the spirit realm. Each birth guide has its own job in your life.

You may have one that is more of a protector role. You may have one that is more of nurturing role. Each and every one is different, just as we are.

Guardian angels are here to watch over and protect us on our physical existence in this Earthly plane. They are the ones who step in just at the right time when accidents happen or things come out just by the skin of our teeth and we sit back and wonder how, it is because of our guardian angels.

Spirit runners, or runner guides as some others refer to them, are like temporary guides who come into our life for a specific reason. Maybe we need some extra energy protection in our life at a certain point, or maybe some extra guidance or help in a love area. These are the spirit runners who come and usher in their expertise of this area when it is needed most. As soon as this area of our life has been resolved and completed they leave as quickly as they came in. Runners can also be with more then one person at one times, just as angels can be.

So how do we get in contact with them? Great question! Start with meditation, as quieting the mind is a wonderful way to start opening yourself up to them.

Look for signs as well. Literally ask a question that you are wanting the answer to, whether it be out-loud or in your mind, and wait and watch for signs to show you the way!

Opening yourself up energetically is another great way for ascension purposes that you can make stronger communication links between you and your guides, angels and runners.

So take a step back and see what signs are being shown and ask for help and make as much with your communication with them as you can, as they are here to help us!

Many Blessings and Love and Light

A great shift is in the making: A time for very deep purification and cleansing from the inner core within ourselves and within the Earth up to the outer manifest reality. How this will all play out is our choice.

Many will understand the need for inner and outer focus on unity and love. However, many others will remain under the grip of their programmed old ways and thus experience this world with much fear while focusing on dis-unity.

This is a time where our greatest force shall emerge from its hidden inner recesses as we face our greatest challenge: a transformation and trans-evolution of mankind when our thought processes transmute from a harsh concentration on lack toward a gentler constant awareness of the beauty and unity of all within the ONE that we all are here to manifest.

This is a time prophesied for eons where, in this world created around the notion of polarity, the "real" caring and nurturing Female energy is ready to interpenetrate each of our hearts and balance out the Masculine expansive powerful energy that has overtaken alone much of Creation and destabilized it. It is in the balancing and the unity of the two that our inner smiling probable future lays. Please allow this great and sacred energy in, and wish deeply for unity, for in that act lies the path to our happiness and salvation.

All great changes bring about in many much initial resistance, the degree of which will define the course of this Creation for a long time to come.

As many impacting events are about to happen, and even more unfold in the next months and years, often in an accelerated manner, one core issue will emerge as paramount in being the only real question to be asked and the only solution to be had.

"Where does your joy and ecstacy lay?"

Does it lay upon a world where all thoughts and common efforts are on compassion, forgiveness, unity, happiness, and the notion that we are all - without any exception -connected within the notion of ONE?

Is it your truest desire to unite the parts within yourself, the family without, and our greatest and most beautiful family: mankind?

Or does you joy and ecstasy lay upon events, stories, legends, and philosophies which evoke and trigger separation, elitism, fear, violence, control, gore, and the anti-force to the sacred notion of Unity of all and everything within the One and Only?

Do you want to unify all polarities to usher the proclaimed glorious era, or polarize even more? For this is the only question to be asked.

Please, I beg of you, watch carefully what you invite in your heart.

If you invite within and resonate only with what unites us as one family and therefore exalts life, then the peace of the ONE, wondrous Creation, and life, longer that you can ever imagine, will be yours.

However, if you invite and resonate within upon visions of death, fear, and all that differentiates, divides, and separates us, then war, suffering, insecurity, and death will be yours.

All great spiritual masters came to tell us of this choice and the two ways of seeing the same reality, and some even expressed it in their lives and experiences on purpose, in order for us to understand the consequences.

A glass is either half full or half empty depending on your focus of attention. Both are true at the same time. It is your focus which will determine which path you will experience. You can either focus on what is lacking, or what is wondrous. You can focus on the unity and common thread of all existence, see the spectacular awe-some reality of creation, and experience the miraculous, or focus on what is lacking and then experience nothingness.

Please do not fall into the trap of joy and ecstasy for death again.

Please fall in love with yourself again, and with all your human brothers and sisters. For all are precious, magnificent, and sacred expressions of the ONE life force flowing through all living things.

What Binaural Beats Are... Binaural Beats are Not a "New Age" Fad. Binaural Beats have been researched for almost 170 years. The human brain goes through many frequency cycles during each day. Different frequencies produce different effects to the human consciousness. Using this information, it has been discovered that the brains receiving and operating frequency can be altered by sound waves. Many of the most powerful brain frequencies are under 20 Hz. Since the ear itself does not respond to frequencies below 20 Hz, Binaural Beat Technology came about which uses the inner wiring of the brain to produce the frequency with perfect accuracy.

How Binaural Beats Work... Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being lowered and tuned to the desired 7 Hz operating stage.

What To Expect... Simply stated, Expect Results. Binaural Beats directly stimulate the brain by altering the operating frequency. Some of the common physical effects are:

#The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
#Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
#Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
#Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind

#Feeling of sedation or not feeling the body at all

Every persons brain is different, and every recording we sell uses different frequencies. There is no exact answer to what you will experience. Some minds are more open to suggestion, and some are stubborn. Many people have absolutely "Wild Experiences", while others have more mild effects. Although each of our recordings is specifically designed for a purpose, experiences will differ person to person.

So, it's over three years on since the hit dvd 'The Secret' took the world by storm. Can you remember your first viewing of the movie? For many people it was a highly memorable occasion and for some, life changing. Many people finished watching 'The Secret' with renewed optimism and hope for life.

Disappointingly for many however was their inability to transfer that intial burst of enthusiasm and energy into an actual real sustained assault on using the law of attraction in everyday life. In fact the vast majority of people are unable to make the secret work in their favour, particularly after just a few goes trying to do so. If this sounds like you do not be dis-heartened or despondent. Rather like learning a new language, it is a gradual process, of course you wil make mistakes but that doesn't mean you give-up, you just keep trying adjusting your approach until you get the results you are looking for. If it's not working for you right now then maybe it is that you just need some more practice.

I realize that may sound a touch patronizing, to say, 'be positive', 'do not give up' and so on, particularly when the state of the planet today leads us to think more of failures than successes, what with the state of the world economy, natural disasters and mindless acts of violence that we so often read about these days.

Of course if your thoughts and feeling are reflecting these bad times then that is what you are going to draw towards you. So what is the real answer? How can I make the secret, positive thinking and the law of attraction work for me even after all of this time?

Well, here are a few tips as to how to do so:

Stop, stopping yourself from receiving
Patience


So rather than using the law of attraction, positive thinking and the secret as some unique magic wand, treat it as a simple effective process that you have to go through in order to obtain your desires. Look at it that way and you will get there a good deal quicker.

By: Tim Ryan
Trainer on the power of positive thinking

Patience

The world around us seems like a miracle in itself at times. Huge towering mountains, ridiculously advanced technology and so on but none of those things came into existence overnight. The world has certain laws that all things must abide with. Using the law of attraction isn't going to change them, it can only make them work in your favour and with you. So if there is something you desire, give it time to develop, don't expect miracles overnight, simply be patient!

Being patient will enable you to enjoy the process of achieving your goals,attaining your desires and will also stop you from becoming demotivated and giving up due to frustration. 3. Do you part through educating yourself. Don't view the secret and law of attraction as express delivery packages, as already said this is not the case but do think how you can accelerate the process. What action is it that you can be taking in order to attain positive outcomes. Often this will come in the form of education regarding what it is you want, maybe a particular book, course or whatever, but be proactive and do your part.

Like an infant trying to take their first steps, you have to do it yourself but you will get there a lot quicker if you can observe someone else who has achieved success. Mix with those people who are there already and it will help you gain a more vivid picture of what it is you want and of what you have to do to get there.

Stop, stopping yourself from receiving.

Yes that does sound a bit strange, I mean why would anyone purposefully stop themselves from receiving something they desired? Have a little think on this scenario:

A young child is asking for directions from a policeman:

"Excuse me officer, would you mind giving me directions to xyz building?, please, would you mind, can you, can you, please, please could you, where is it, please..."

What is happening here is that there is no shortage of asking but unless the child keeps quiet and allows the officer to respond then they are not going to get an answer, ever! Then they may very well get disheartened turn around, walk away and of course miss the answer that the officer was willing to give at any time!

So, you may well be asking for your desires but are you allowing the universe to communicate back with you and giving it a chance to respond to you. It may come in very subtle ways, a line in a poem, a comment from a friend, an idea in a book but if you are not willing and ready to listen then you won't get any answer. For now don't try too hard, simply be happy that you have put your desires out there.

Combine Visualization with Affirmations, Step back and Watch out!

Affirmations work just like Hypnotic Suggestions in hypnosis exercises. Say them enough and you eventually believe them literally. While visualizing, repeat some affirmations. This naturally gets more of your senses in tune with the process thus making the experience more real, and that's what you want. You want it to feel real.

Do this regularly for about 5 minutes or so right before meditation.

This really really works! Your belief in the process has a direct effect on the results you get. The more you know about meditation and visualization, the more you're programmed to believe in it. Belief in it, is trust in it. Within the Laws of Manifesting and Attraction, the Power of trust should be your best friend. Keep close sight of that.

Attract things into your life much faster with Visualization

Visualization is a perfect complement to meditation and will dramatically improve your results. Spend a few minutes a day imagining yourself feeling Immensely relieved that your manifestations have already arrived. What would it feel like to deeply enjoy the things that you intend to manifest? Generate some mental pictures of yourself doing just that, and allow yourself to feel that way. The more you imagine yourself feeling and acting confidently about receiving your manifestations, the easier you'll find it to do in your day to day experiences. Do this right before you meditate.

Meditation is essential to getting connected Spiritually, creating a more peaceful way of living, and one of many ways to Turbo Charge your Manifesting Powers with "The Law of Attraction." Meditation gives an extra kick to connecting with a much deeper part of yourself, Your Higher Self. It allows you to Transcend your thoughts and be one with your true Inner Being. Live your Life from a calmer and Deeper perspective by Meditating on a regular basis.

Here are a few things to consider when using Meditation to kick the Powers of Law of Attraction into High Gear:

- Attract things into your life much faster with Visualization
- Combine Visualization with Affirmations

Use your meditation sessions to keep your Powers of Attraction Razor Sharp. As your trust grows, your Manifestations appear quicker because you have far less mental resistance. This process rapidly improves the Speed of your manifestations and provides a much smoother transition for them to enter your Reality.

The ascended masters spent lifetimes in which they perfected various soul and character qualities. A study of specific lifetimes of the masters helps us to understand what is required for true self-mastery. Confucius is a well-known spiritual teacher who was born in 551 BC in the Chinese State of Lu. Some historians believe that his father was much older than his mother. In any case, his father died when he was three years old and he was raised solely by his mother. They were quite poor, but the family came from noble lineage.

Confucius married at the age of nineteen. He had many occupations as a young man, including working as a shepherd, cowherd, clerk and bookkeeper. Confucius was part a movement to establish a new class in Chinese society that was based on talent and skills rather than inherited social status.

Confucius also made a long journey around the small kingdoms of northeast and central China. He travelled for ten years and talked about his innovative political beliefs. Confucius believed that developing keen judgment was more important than rote learning of rules and regulations. This type of ethics has become known as virtue ethics.

During the last years of his life, Confucius spent his time teaching his disciples. One of his most famous teachings was a form of the Golden Rule: "never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.

Confucius's teachings were later turned into a set of texts and elaborate practices by his numerous disciples and followers. These classical texts were called the Analects. Combined with other texts, these core texts came to form the foundation of what we know today as Confucianism. Ironically these complex teachings may not accurately reflect the simple philosophy of the religion's founder. Instead, it is Confucius' devotion to inner wisdom and the ethics of the heart that have given him his immortal freedom.

Awakening Sometimes we ask who we are and why we are here, what is the meaning of life and death. We search after answers which can come from friends, books or some religion. We meet hindrances and successes and learn to feel ourselves better, and thereby others too. From a state of sleep to awakening… We stretch and see the world with newly awakened eyes. To become aware of oneself and the outer world is a process. Spirituality belongs to each and everyone and not to a specific religion. Spirituality spreads over this planet faster than ever. It actually doesn´t spread, because it has always been in every soul, a science and feeling that we don´t need any proof of.

Everything is about how far your awakening process is. Every human goes through this process sooner or later. One cannot "become" spiritual, it is something that one already is and has always been.

From deep sleep to full awareness The more people know the less shock there is when the day of contacting our universe sisters and brothers comes. We can tell our friends about this so that they understand, because media is not good at doing this. The contact is going to happen in a couple of years, maybe tomorrow. You also know this, but think that it's going to happen or might happen in the distant future. The truth is that it lies very close.

If you choose not to read further then it's the right choice for you. We always choose to open ourselves when we feel that we are ready. Now it's time to get ready for the biggest adventure of the Earth, because that is what is going to happen. Aliens do not just look like as you've seen on TV. Most of them look just as we do, you wouldn't notice any big difference. On our planet exist groups like Europeans, Asians, Africans and so on, everyone with their special characteristics. There are many more in the universe.

On developed planets the characteristics are very much like that in humans. Small details like eyes, ears and face forms vary, not only "green people", like media often likes to show them.

Salvation

Convinced that humans are pleasure seeking creatures and self-motivated to fulfill these pleasures for the soul's benefit of experience, it bears witness in examination that we are to expand our horizons at every possible junction. We are not to hold back, be afraid, cow down, and dismiss our desires on any level. We are neither, to usurp the rights, advantages, positions, or supposed 'portions of favor' of another. We are to travel in our own {Soul's} selected orbit without collision or recourse.

What I have to do or want to do in no way affects or diminishes what you care to achieve. If I am 'natural and convenient' in my dealings, I can in no wise upset the apple cart of which you are driving. Nothing that has been allotted for me can be held back from me and the same goes for you. I have no need to quarrel, defend, fight, or bicker with you since you have nothing to do with what I am going to do. I will not look to you for help nor will you ask it of me. I am perfectly capable of carrying my own bags as are you. Nothing that will ever occur will be out of season since it is impossible for it to be so.

I can assure you it will be a flavorful, pleasure filled, pain reeked existence but not without the assurance that we are doing it because we WANT to and for no other reason! That would certainly eliminate our trying to defend, excuse, apologize, take credit for or blame in various situations when it's ridiculous to do so. The soul desires to create and express fully in every imaginable fashion while we inhabiting this body of flesh. We are capable, because of her, of doing incredible feats; unimaginable even at present sitting. "…greater things will you do, than I do…" (Paraphrased). If that's so, I'm throwing my hat of resistance into the tub and picking up her cloak of "…joy inexpressible and full of glory…" (Paraphrased). I always did like a good drama; one I couldn't figure out the plot!

If in fact the ineffable soul has determined an existence of human experience in each of us, we shall not be denied the entirety of that professed life. On the same token, we are not to shy away from certain responsibilities and obligations that we are inherently guided to assume. These duties can not ever be imposed from the outside. She (the affable soul) dictates all actions from a divine sphere without question, approval or response from us. Since she is the divine trickster, in regards to how our lives unfold, (her private joke) we can openly invite the various pleasures of our innate natures into the picture for selection and processing.

No one would argue that the Soul is absolute love but what that entails, no one knows for certain. Just for starters, Sublime love goes beyond rational reason, logical explanation, comparison, competition, and judgment. Since we, as mortals, are completely biased, prejudiced, grievous, greedy, jealous, self-serving, resentful, competitive, and bustin' a gut of ego in a pot belly filled to overflowing of lust in appetite for winning, appreciation and aggrandizement, we fall just a little short of her excellence. So, what are we to do? The only thing we can do. Surrender. Give over to her inexplicable way of experiencing this life.

It is written "...you will be despised and rejected among your own…" (Paraphrased). Have you suffered through any of this yet? As a personal beacon of light for your information, while engaged in your present circumstances and involvements, most especially intimate relationships, when you feel the absolute most hopeless, helpless and totally unclear, blinded by insecurity and confusion regarding your personal progress, success, materialization of desires or goals that you set for yourself, thinking it could not get any worse, know beyond a shadow of a doubt that personal regression and despair is a clear cut diamond faceted indication that you as a personality are releasing control over to your soul. This state of tribulation, my friend, is a glorious thing. Rejoice prayerfully in the assured knowledge that you have indeed arrived at a place of desecrated absolution.

Life is a mysterious creature and without the benefit of esoteric wisdom of old, "…we would all be men most miserable…" (Paraphrased). It is prodigiously written that we are to live abundantly and be full of good cheer. Whether that is a sick joke or an enlightened aphorism, nevertheless, we are to find our way "…through fear and trembling…" (Paraphrased) How are we to do this? By and through the various ordeals our particular life offers us on a daily basis. Some of our trials will be harrowing, no doubt. Some of them will be jubilant but somewhere in the middle is where we are to find happiness.

MODE OF Cosmic Therapy: For the Love of Esoteric Wisdom

The human body will fail, the mind will fade but the soul will never diminish. It is an eternal sacred flame of effervescent glow that can not be extinguished by human hands. Though you may have idealistic notions about how wonderful your soul is, the solemn truth pierces the veil of your deceptive illusions. She is ruthless, unconcerned, disinterested and merciless in her approach for human experience. She has plummeted you into a world of existence in which you are to learn (remember) how to survive, adapt, reproduce, thrive and rise above any and all adversity without even as much as a nod of approval from her.

The soul will in no wise be affected except by and through your ability to realize that the experiences on Earth are provided as the 'soil to toil' for her alone to experience the lessons for disengagement, through you, as is necessary and as she deems fit. You are to be fully involved in every circumstance, relationship, involvement, situation, event, and episode simply for the experience (proper understanding) of it and then evolve out of the variegated occurrences without bitterness, regret, remorse, pride, or sense of accomplishment of your own merit. You are never to now exactly when or how any of it will end or progress. In the meantime, you are to live without thought, care or worry. You will be plagued with doubt, fear, pain, embarrassment and humiliation of every conceivable nature.

There are more love spells in the world than any type of spells. There are spells to find love, return love, get rid of love, heal love, force a person to love us, and ways to determine if we are loved by someone. So regardless of what you need in love, you will find a spell that will help you.

Here are some simple spells for love you can try:

Aphrodite Oil
Amber Love Charm
Botanicals Spell
Grow, Love Grow Spell

Botanical Spell

Find dried herbs or flowers that grow around your house. You can choose herbs such as rose, rosemary, mint, basil or flowers such as crocus, dandelion, hibiscus, hyacinth, lily, tulip and violet. We will also need a candle. It can be a red or pink candle. If you don't have either, you may use a yellow or orange candle. The candles have to be broad so that you can hollow out the base and pack the botanical into it. Now burn the candle while visualizing the miracle of love entering you life.

Grow, Love Grow Spell

How can we make love grow? We can encourage love to grow by taking care of magical plants that return their blessings to us. If you have a green thumb, try this spell: Get a basil plant of bleeding heart plant and grow it in a pot. Water while visualizing the plant as well as your love grows. You can also try growing any seed on which you have engraved the initials of your lover to make your lover go crazy over you!

Amber Love Charm

The Romany culture considered mirrors magical. To make your own magical mirror, get a piece of amber. It can be a small stone or part of a necklace or bracelet or any other jewelry. On a full moon day, look at the moon through the amber while holding it in your left hand. Focus on all your desires and visualize your future live filled with love and joy.

At night, when you go to sleep, remember to keep the amber under your pillow. When you wake up, the amber would have turned into a potent love charm. You can now use it to draw love into your life. Replenish the power of the charm by repeating this ritual at every full moon day.

Aphrodite Oil

Mix essential oil of myrtle, essential oil of rose and sweet almond oil to create a magical love oil. Massage this all over your body before you take a nice, long, warm bath. You can also use this to dress love candles while petitioning Goddess Aphrodite to bring you love.

Practitioners of Wicca all over the world have many things in common. As a religion that celebrates life with rituals combining spirituality, music, dance, food and love, Wicca is becoming more and more popular all around the globe.

Modern Wicca is believed to follow the Celtic customs combining English and Welsh traditions. The Druids were people who arrived from unknown destinations and are believed to be the "teachers" of the Wiccan traditions. Although Wicca originated in Europe, it has been accepted and embraced internationally and evolved over the years in many countries, absorbing new traditions and rejecting some of its conventional views as it reaches for a larger and more widespread following. As people moved from one land to another, some branches of Wicca accepted more of the local traditions or customs.

However, there are also many traditions in Wicca that remain the same over the centuries. The eight Sabbats are observed in most Wiccan traditions. However, they may be celebrated at different times of the year as the seasons differ between the two hemispheres. Worship of the Moon as Goddess is one of the main themes of the Wiccan way of life. Preservation and celebration of nature is another practice that is prevalent in most Wiccan variations.

The elements, planets and other celestial bodies are also held in high esteem as they are viewed as the creators and guardians of the Universe. As Wicca spread around the world, a few of the groups alienated themselves from the rest of the Wiccan population by narrowing the boundaries of their practice. Dianic Wicca, which followed a tradition that originated in Italy, has evolved in America to become a formal feminine Goddess based tradition.

Circle Wicca was founded by Americans Selena Fox and Jim Alan in 1974. The practitioners live in a two hundred acre Nature preserve in Wisconsin. The main difference of Circle Wicca from European style Wicca is that it has absorbed Shamanism and the Native American ways of healing and celebrations. Faery Wicca is of Irish origin with some links to Druidism.

This may not be widely practiced in the Americas. However, African Wicca and its offshoots such as Voodoo were brought over to the Americas and have evolved to be part of witchcraft traditions in the southern parts of the United States including New Orleans in Louisiana. American Wiccan traditions have roots in Gardnerian, Celtic and Alexandrian Wicca.

European Wicca follows the original and strict lead of Gardner whereas in the new World, Wicca was mostly influenced by Raymond Buckland who, fittingly, is called the Father of American Wicca.

Although Gardnerian Wicca emphasizes the power of the Goddess over that of God, every practitioner, whether woman or man, has specific stages of advancement and have to work with the leaders of the group to reach higher and higher levels. Also, this Wiccan tradition did not allow self-initiation or solitary practices as a rule

Wands are used for spiritual and religious rituals. Although many people believe that the wand is magical and creates our intentions, we need to remember that it is indeed the power of our intentions that drives the power in the wand. The wand is a tool into which we direct our will and intentions. Although a wand is not a requirement for Magic, we can use substitute such items as an umbrella, a tree limb or a piece of driftwood. Natural items are of more value in magic than items brought at a store since the wand is considered part of tree magic.

Also, it is very important that we do not hurt or maim any tree in order to get the wood to make our wand. Driftwood is the best since it was naturally released by the tree and has been toughened and smoothed out by the Earth and the Sea. If you take a fallen branch from the bottom of a tree, remember to leave a libation as proof of your gratitude. Lightning struck wood is considered especially powerful.

Any piece of wood that gives you the right "feel" is good enough for a wand. The length of a typical wand is about eighteen inches. All-purpose wands may be made of Ash, Hawthorn, Hazel or Rowan. If the wand is made for a special purpose, choose the wood that it suitable for this intention. For healing magic, use hazel; for exorcism, use date palm or tamarisk; for love, use apple or ash tree; for divination, use ash, rowan or willow.

If you are trying to make a wand for protection, use blackthorn olive or rowan wood. Tradition also may dictate what type of wood you may use for the wand.

The Celtic tradition prefers hawthorn or hazel. Chinese tradition uses peach wood or willow. Druid traditions use hawthorn, rowan, yew, or oak depending on UK or US traditions. The ancient Romany used Elm and other traditions used birch or willow.

Sometimes wands are also made of metal since it is a wonderful conductor of energy. An iron wand is believed to enhance the power of protection and copper is an excellent conductor of energy. Some witches have one wand made of wood and another made of metal.

Wands may be decorated with items that may also have purposes. For example, a wand made for love may be tipped with a rose quartz crystal. For fertility, use a moonstone on top of a silver wand. For money magic, use driftwood tipped with coral, shells and pearls. Amethyst tip is believed to empower spiritual quests and cleansing.

Use ancient remedies
Break up spells are used to terminate an established relationship that has gone awry. They may also be used to put off unwanted attention from others or to discourage stalkers and bothersome Romeos. In the olden days, turnips were used to repel lovers. If a lady did not like a suitor, setting a dish of turnips before him was enough to make him leave. Another break up instigator is the black snake root. Carrying it with us or bathing in water into which this botanical is infused can keep abusive or bothersome suitors away from our life.

Breakup Powder
We can also make break-up powder which is potent and will do the job of getting rid of unwanted love. Gather some lemongrass, mullein, patchouli, valerian and Vetiver. Dry them well and grind them together into a powder. Sprinkle this powder in the shoes and pant pockets of the people who are bothering you. If you are really losing patience, try a banishing spell.

First you have to gather the following items to make banishing powder: Cayenne Pepper, Dragon's blood powder, Ground Sassafras, Gun powder (or a mixture of saltpeter and sulphur), Habanero powder, shotgun pellets and a crushed wasp's nest. Mash all the ingredients together using a mortar and pestle. When the mixture is ground well, use a coffee grinder or a spice mixer to grind the mix to very fine powder.

Remember to take care of as some of these powders are really toxic to our skin and may injure us. To make lovers stay away, sprinkle some of the powder at your target's doorstep and bury the rest in his yard.

Love Antidote Spell
Powdered sassafras bark is very powerful when it comes to repelling unwanted love. If you have a sassafras tree in your own home, you can get some of the bark and grind it in a mortar and pestle. You can also buy it from the store. It may be called file powder because it is used in the Louisiana Cajun cuisine to make gumbo, the delicious soup that is favored by the locals.

Remember to not use essential oil of Sassafras because it is highly toxic. To the ground powder, add some castor oil and jojoba oil. Using one piece from seven square pieces of paper, write in dragon's blood ink: You have no power over me. I am free from your binding spell!

To make a living, especially at something you've been employed at for a long time, may dead-end when you find you can't go any further in your pursuit. Unlike Daedalus' life, it doesn't take a murder for your mediocre job to end suddenly. You know you can't go any further up the ladder and won't be receiving more pay, so sometimes, in order to grow, you may be forced to take a different road to gain a different perspective.

Over my life I've had many different professions: secretary, corrections officer, property manager, author, and tarot instructor. These radical changes were due to sometimes circumstances beyond my control, and then also, the fact that I was simply bored. In the beginning of these job changes, I have to admit they were based on money. But now my work has led me not so much to the money, but to the satisfaction and contentment. I, like Daedalus, hope to live a satisfied and rich life.

The suit of pentacles is represented by Daedalus and the minotaur. Daedalus was a skilled and gifted craftsman. Daedalus perfected his skills and was famous for his gift. Daedalus also had a few problems. One of his character flaws was jealously. Daedalus was so jealous of his pre-teen nephew, who exhibited craftsman's skills on his level, that he murdered the boy.

Thus, with the sin of jealousy, a great and gifted craftsman succumbed to fleeing for his life. Daedalus took to the road and found himself in the city of Crete and the ruler, King Minos. Daedalus found favor and protection with the king and started his trade all over. But the god Poseidon wanted Daedalus' employer to perform a sacrifice. King Minos disrespected the god and ignored Poseidon's order. Daedalus was not the direct target of Poseidon's revenge, but, nevertheless, was drawn into the drama.

Daedalus compromised his value of loyalty to King Minos when he fell into an arrangement of helping the king's wife, whom Poseidon put a spell upon. Daedalus, without compromising his favor with the king or bringing the wrath of Poseidon upon him, worked at this problem. When Daedalus' scheme worked, he pushed his luck with King Minos one too many times. The end result, King Minos found out of Daedalus' betrayals and Daedalus, once again, fled. Daedalus found favor with the king of Sicily. King Minos hunted Daedalus, but in the end, it was Daedalus who lived a satisfied and rich life.

Orestes did not feel lucky when the god Apollo forced him into making a choice about proceeding with the punishment of death upon his mother for murdering his father. Orestes was trapped in a precarious situation. On the one hand if Orestes disobeyed Apollo he could be made to go mad by the god. But if Orestes killed his mother, he would be haunted by the witch-like furies. Orestes weighed his options and chose not to go against Apollo.

Orestes fulfilled his deed. With his mother dead at his own hands, the furies wrath descended. But luck as well as justice was on Orestes side. Orestes fell into despair and sought the help of the goddess Athene, who is the goddess of justice. Athene weighed Orestes predicament and felt pity for him. After all, the curse was not any of Orestes doing as it was handed down through generations. Through Athene's divine justice, everything was made right and Orestes was free.

To often, when we are faced with life' s challenges, we will "shut down" emotionally, and choose to either ignore or avoid the problem.

Maybe you had an Apollo in your life who forced you to take action and take your life back. I know after many of these stagnant periods in my life, I can look back and thank the Universe for the opportunity given to me by "pushy" people, so I would take action instead of wallow in my depression. After the dilemma was over, I was a stronger person. I was free of the fear to not act on my behalf.

One of my favorite tarot decks is the Mythic Tarot, by Juliet Sharman-Burke and Liz Greene. Purchased nearly eighteen years ago, and even after all these years of use, the cards are still in great shape. The book's condition, however, is another story. Its pages, long ago unhooked from the spine, are underlined, dog-eared, highlighted (in three different colors!), and yellowed

Desperate times called for desperate searching, and over my lifetime, I've ran into quite a few bumps in the road. I self-taught myself the tarot so when I laid out a spread seeking clarification to the challenge I faced at the time, I studied the book.

I related to the Greek myths. There was a compelling story with every card suit that I could relate about my hardships. (As you probably guessed, I received A LOT of sword and pentacle cards!)

The suit of swords is represented by Orestes and the House of Artreus. Orestes is a young man trapped in the middle of a family curse, a selfish and arrogant father, and a revengeful mother. Throw in a ticked off goddess and a Greek god who made it Orestes job to avenge the murder of Orestes' father, and you have one sad, confused, threatened kid. Orestes agonized over his fate and decided to do what most of us who've been through the emotional wringer do, and that was to do nothing. But, as in real life, those of us going through a similar stalemate, are sometimes kick-started into action by an outside source.

Do you believe an Alien? Some people who have a hobby watching the movie said aliens are us from the future, and the other said aliens are really demons. Whatever you're thinks about aliens are they real or not, here's the movie about alien autopsy you can watch. And then say whatever you say, believe it or not

Picture yourself as the Fool at the Tarot. In this case a Fool isn't someone stupid or immature; a Fool in the Tarot means innocence. See his happy face, untouched by the disappointments of life and ready to embrace everything that comes his way. Take this part for yourself. Then, as you progress through the cards let the journey become your story.

Write down what is happening as you travel through the Major Arcana. Let your imagination run wild. This could be your own personal story or you might publish it and see it become a best seller. You are limited only by your own imagination.
Spread out the other 56 Tarot cards. As you journey they become your warehouse. This is where you go to get the supplies you need for different stages of your adventure.

Do you need the Wealth of Pentacles, or the passion of cups? Will you meet a king? Do you need weapons or inspiration? Again let your imagination run wild and free.

By the end of your journey and you will be sorry to see it end, you will have an intimate knowledge of the Tarot cards. You will have sympathy and understanding surpassing by far anything a book or tutorial can possibly give you.

Tarot cards contain, within the symbolism of each card, all of the possible experiences of life. Each card acts like a sentence. Many possible meanings lie in a sentence taken out of context, it's only when we read the whole paragraph that it makes sense. The whole paragraph, in Tarot terms, is the way the cards are arranged during a reading. This is called a spread. For those who feel that trying to learn the various meanings of each card is a daunting task, here is a fun and exciting way to learn the Tarot.

The Tarot deck consists of 56 suit cards; unlike the deck of playing cards that we are familiar with tarot has four court cards to a suit, King, Queen, Knight and page. There are also 22 cards that are not associated with any suit. These are commonly referred to as the Major Arcana. Separate these cards from the deck. You will note that each one is numbered. The first card, numbered zero, is the Fool.

This is where the Tarot begin

Look at the Fool. He seems to be walking to the edge of a cliff. Is he? Or is he walking alongside? Is he walking or dancing? He has a sack on a stick over his shoulder, what is in it? There's a dog in the picture, is the dog playing, attacking, or warning him about the cliff? Think about these questions as you look at the next card number 1, the Magician.

The Magician stands behind a table with items on a cloth. Is the cloth the Fool's sack? Are the items on the table what was in the sack? Has the Fool now become the Magician? This is where the fun begins.
