A New Perspective On Tithing

By David Anttony

History of Tithing

The origins of tithing can be found in the Bible, yet many Christians and non-Christians alike, practice some form of tithing today.

Tithe is conventionally a Christian term that signifies the contribution of one tenth of one's earnings as donation to one's Church as a type of Church giving. However, every other religious system has similar practices within itself. In Islam the word used is 'Zakat'. In the Sikh religion of India the name for it is 'Dasvandh' which again signifies setting apart a tenth of one's earnings for pious acts. It was Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru who started the practice. The sacred texts of Hinduism like the Bhagavadgita and the Upanisads state that 'true alms' is that which is given as a part of one's duty in the right place and at the right time to a worthy individual, from whom nothing is expected in return.

The word tithe is derived from the Hebrew word 'asair', which means to give the tenth part of something, often of a person's income. Today, tithes (or tithing) are normally voluntary and paid in cash. However, there are still European countries that allow the church to mandate tithing and enforce it by law.

Denmark is an example where members of the Church of Denmark pay a church tax, which varies between municipalities. The tax is generally around 1% of the taxable income. And in Finland members of state churches pay a church tax of between 1% and 2.25% of income and the Church taxes are integrated into the common national taxation system.

But still tithing as a confirmed tradition was established only after Exodus. Tithes were routine in the olden days through much of the Near East and also later in Carthage, Lydia, and Arabia.

The Hebrew habit of tithing is recorded in the Bible, the first mention being the gift from Abraham to the Canaanite priest and king Melchizedek (Genesis--:20). Ancient Arabia, Lydia and Carthage were places where the custom of tithes existed. Tithing was implemented by the early Christian church, and had found mention in councils at Macon in 585 and at Tours in 567. They were granted formal recognition during the time of Pope Adrian I in 787.

Tithing in some Christian churches is controversial because it applies an Old Testament process to a New Testament organisation (the Church). No evidence exists in the New Testament for the tithe to be applied to Christians. Indeed, only Jews living in the promised land were required to pay the tithe in the Old Testament, as it was actually a form of income tax used to support not only the government of Old Testament Israel, but also the temple and the priesthood.

Modern day Tithing

Despite it's origins in the Bible and ancient Christianity, today it is a special way to give every time you receive. Giving EVERY time you receive is such a powerful form of giving because it allows the giver to experience something incredibly powerful - more on that later.

Let us have a little more of history. Malachi 3:10 is the section of the Bible that Christians hold in importance when they deliberate on tithing. Many Christians do tithe to their church as they feel that they are duty bound to do as per the rules of the Bible. Many Churches have all throughout maintained that their members should tithe to the church to help it conduct its activities. The core of giving is its voluntary nature and its delightful experience, without which it does not get its ideal effect - if in fact you are hoping to create an ideal effect by giving.

Controversy about Tithing

Tithing has often been a controversial subject.The question of should a Christian pay tithe is often raised in many Christian circles.

An article has been published in Wall Street Journal about tithing under the title 'The Backlash Against Tithing', in which the writer Suzanne Sataline says, 'As Churches push donations, congregants balk; 'that's not the way God works'.'

Unfortunately, the potent mix of ideology, power equations, and a narrow perspective, can often give rise to a Jekyll and Hyde situation - the perfection of giving being lost in the mishmash and mix-up of mysticism. Despite the conflict, tithing is still a complete and amazingly forceful action that anyone can carry on to turn their lives around to come face to face with a more plentiful direction.

For those who are interested in finding out more about a Christian perspective in tithing there are plenty of materials to go through. For those who are keen on knowing the reason WHY tithing is so compelling, what follows will be useful.

Why is Tithing so powerful?

This is indeed a very compelling question because if you just blindly carry on something without any idea of what it indicates, you could be proceeding in the wrong direction.

If more of the people who do regularly practice tithing knew exactly why tithing is effective when done in the full spirit of a perfect gift, then it could possibly release a better yearning to give even more. And for those who give not on a regular basis, it could motivate them to give every time they get something.

To look at the real 'why' of how regular giving creates more we have to move into the world of Quantum Physics and Quantum Mechanics. The laws in this world are not the same as in our physical or Newtonian world.

The picture 'What the Bleep' paints the quantum world through easily graspable examples. The link to the movie here gives some details about how matter gets converted into waves and behaves like liquids when seen from a quantum physics angle: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1349535/4653525.

The film portrays a wonderful world seen from a quantum space. When a beam of electrons is shot through an opening in a plate onto a wall - as is expected, it would hit in a straight line on the flat surface just opposite the opening.

If the same experiment is done using an energy wave that has the properties of a water wave, again one can get an expected outcome. As the surge hits the plate the tendency for the wave is to ricochet but still because of the cut, some parts of the wave goes in through that cut. Emerging from the cut, the wave spreads out in an arched way, thus resulting in a new wave more or less similar to the old wave. It is exactly like the experiments one would have done in smaller classes regarding the behaviour of waves. It hits the wall opposite with a lot of force at the point just opposite the cut and hits with lesser strength all around the wall. This is just like the pattern the electrons create.

If we added a second slit in the plate, again we would get a predictable result with the wave experiment - two small waves would appear through the slits and when those new waves touch each other they would cancel each other out creating an interference pattern. Several waves would now hit the wall making a stripped affect on the wall. All this is as expected for wave energy behavior, so nothing new here.

Here is where the whole experiment takes on an entirely different direction. When electrons are sent through the two cuts in the plate, what should ordinarily result are two lines in the wall opposite. On the contrary what one sees is a stripped appearance with an intersecting pattern. This is unbelievable. The matter seems to have been turned into a wave. We can perhaps imagine that electrons were hitting against each other and ricocheting and causing a wave pattern; so if electrons are sent across separately the result should be different. But it is not, it is the same. The explanation has to be that the electron leaves as a single particle, and splits into a wave on collision with the plate, then goes across through the cuts and intervenes with itself after that on the other side. This idea of solid having fluid properties -or mattering acting like a wave - is totally surprising. The world is much more than we understand it to be.

Despite the apparent 'solidness' of this world that we live in, it would appear that actually we live in a world that is more like a liquid - liquid energy or flux, which behaves like liquids in our physical world. And as we know from simple physics that fluids of a similar nature always come together and those of a dissimilar nature move apart and separate into clear areas of distinction. Oil and water is a simple example of this. Chromatography also shows the effect very graphically when a single substance can separate into its individual substances in clear bands much like how large groups of people split off into smaller groups of similar interest, energy or intention.

The secret of it all is that when we give we feel delighted and know utmost joy. As a donor we get the best of gifts, which is the gift of contentment. Often we think that it is the one who gets a gift that gets the thing and thus overlook the fact that the giver is the real getter. If anybody is in doubt about this equation, then look at yourself with kids around and observe how intently you feel when you give to them and how much you enjoy irrespective of how they respond.

When we recognize that it is to we ourselves that we are giving when we make the gesture of giving and we do it for the gratification we feel, we have the clue. This clue opens the door of comprehension of giving. And when we give repetitively the force builds up with a snowballing effect enlarging more and more the more we pour to it with our continuous gifting.

The truth that we feel happy when we gift things alters our power equation fully - we feel good and in that moment we are lovelier to others. Have you ever known a vendor on the street peddling things that we do not want like tissues, which you usually do not buy, but one day you buy and the motive for doing it is just to see that vendor happy and relieved? A similar situation could be seen in relations to buskers playing music at a street corner.

A contended individual radiates a natural magnetism that draws others to him and in doing so he enriches himself. It is clear-cut. They pull towards them both those who are desirous of experiencing that feeling as well as those who have already known the richness of it.

Exactly like water and oil, those who give and those who do not give are compartmentalised in different groups. And the ideal place where one can receive something is there where givers congregate! But you can remain in that group only as long as you gift things! Givers enjoy giving to others who give.

We may be able to look at quantum physics for resolving things, but these are very much in front of us all the time. Alike attracts alike - right. See what is going on all over the world. Lions like to be with lions, students like to be with students, women prefer the company of women, guys like other guys, 'poor' people prefer to be with 'poor' people and 'rich' people like to form groups with 'rich' people. And yes - givers like to make friends with givers.

So if you every give from guilt then it will have the reverse effect for you - you will attract others feeling guilty and guilt-feeling people are not usually that joyful and happy. Guilt is a short step away from anger emotionally; so people giving from guilt often make the jump in that direction. Where as joy is almost at the top of the ladder of human emotions - and the jump from there is just to love - which we are all looking for.

So when you initiate the act of giving, you are very close to knowing perfect love - really wonderful to know that it is. More so as we know that most people are continuously trying to find love. We now know that the answer is so easy - begin giving! And gifting money is only an aspect of giving - giving on the whole will create a special place of joy for us, no matter how 'little' the amount.

There is also a psychological aspect to giving regularly. Even though at first this aspect doesn't seem connected to the emotion of joy - in the end it directly connects us to the feeling of joy.

When we gift a thing - especially a thing which is definitely not in surplus in our lives, we are sending a strong message to ourselves that life is reliable. When we have accomplished the act of giving and afterwards see that act in retrospect we understand that we can form a perfect relationship with that reliability. The opposite of reliability is fright. A group of frightened people are unlikely to be happy and delighted and so will not be able to attract any one. On the contrary, a group of reliable people would be contented and so would be quite appealing to those who are seeking such enriching experiences. At the end of the day, when reliability gets transformed into delight and again we find ourselves very close to that which we yearn most - love.

The sum and substance of what has been ignored for years is fully in front of us for anyone to bond with in finely. For Christmas my son got a good amount of money. I queried him as to what he planned to do with all that money. He replied that he wanted to set aside almost whole of it. Then I enquired how much of it he would like to give to someone. It was something that he had not even taken into account until I introduced the idea. What would be the result if upon receiving anything our first consideration was to give away part of it - do you think we would know delight in abundance?

Transaction based giving - or transaction based philanthropy

This takes us to the force of transactional giving. Many enterprises give when they have enough of money to give. When they do not have much they do not prefer to give. So their possible levels of joy fluctuate depending upon market variations - they do not have any restraint. But whoever gives EVERY time they get something is in charge and has their relationship with perfect joy forever.

Transactional giving rather than total giving is based on the highs and lows of business and so is a self-evident way of giving. The method is that when you get something you also give something - straightforward. If your business is bad you might give but according to the income. And when business is marking a rising graph, giving can also improve.

One of the major secrets of transaction based enterprise is that you can partake in the joy of giving so perfectly with all concerned - clients/society - staff - and enterprise. In this scenario customers understand that when they buy something they are also giving though it does not cost them anything other than choosing and shopping with you they feel power of the giving - that is why the traditional CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility, gets transformed into Customer Social Responsibility, with the customer responding perfectly to giving just by appreciating you and have that extra cause, though an elusive one, for preferring to do the shopping with you.

Your personnel will also be able to partake in the happiness of giving as every time they manage to close a sale, they realise that they have managed to give something to a needy person. This is an extremely satisfying experience especially in a team as it can get converted into motivating the team and encouraging the staff.

Any business, including startups with no profit, can do Buy1GIVE1 transaction-based giving - there literally are no barriers to entry and the business controls everything. The contribution amount per transaction starts from just one cent and goes up to thousands of dollars with each business choosing their own level of giving and charity cause project to support depending on their business type and profitability. There is simply no reason not to give this way when the benefits of giving are so numerous. Businesses who are currently giving to a cause can usually convert very quickly and easily to Buy1GIVE1 transaction-based giving while still supporting the same cause providing extra tangible benefits to the business.

When the game is over business -based giving is a present day form of tithing that is practical and possible for anyone, at any place. Now that we realise that it is not about the actual money that we give such as a tenth of the income, but only the fact that we are gifting it that makes the change. When we enter the fraternity of donors we move into a special and fortunate world that only those who give to others are allowed to enter. And unless you start giving today itself, you just may not start doing it and might never will till you start. So begin today.

'We're not here to give in order 'to get'. We're here to have more to give more.

The Secret Of Happiness Is Bonding

By Masami Sato

Why do we live? What are we here for? Day after day we asked these questions of the purpose and meaning of our lives. And most of us constantly look for the answer. How can we achieve happiness? This is yet another question urging us to look for its answer every day. What if the answer to those questions is simple? What if it is all simply about ONE thing? Connection. The secret of happiness is explained thoroughly in the clear and refreshing voice of Masami Sato in this excerpt of her book, ONE.

What are we trying to find out?

There are many things we do in our life.

However, have we ever wondered why we do what we do? What are we actually looking for?

The world now is full of billions of us coming from different races, countries, religions and beliefs all doing different things. We all look different and act quite differently. We have different interest and attitude from others. We communicate differently often using different languages. We have different desire and feelings.

However, if we were to say there is just ONE thing we are ALL looking for, what would it be?

As I travelled around the world, I often asked people a simple question, "What would you like to achieve in your life? What do you really want?"

In the beginning it appeared that different people were looking for different things. People said different things like "A house of my own", "A good job", "A perfect partner", "A soul mate", "A little more money", "An affectionate family", "Freedom", "Peace of mind", "A purpose to life" etc. There were many answers of this type.

I did notice that some of these requirements were of a more earthly nature while others were of a permanent nature. Earthly desires are those that we want because we do not yet have it, or think that we do not yet have it. As against this, permanent desires are not about getting things we do not have. It is about a 'feeling' that we yearn for, so that it does not come to an end, whatever we get or accomplish at every moment or our lives.

If we removed all the temporal desires from out list and only looked at the permanent desires, it is so obvious that we simply want to continue feeling positive feelings like excitement, enjoyment, inspiration, motivation, generosity, love, joy etc.-in another way, we want to stay being happy.

Contentment

Contentment is a state of emotion that all of us are yearning to be in. Each of us may define it differently. We may also value it differently. Each of us may be familiar with different levels of intensity of contentment. Still we definitely have something in common when contentment comes to us. And when we realize this secret about contentment, we hold the key to greater contentment, and to make those around us know the same feelings as well.

This life, that we live, is a mystery. All of us like it in our own different ways. We may also dislike it in different ways. We may wonder about it. We may cherish it. Or we may just accept it in an offhand manner. But what is the ultimate purpose of this life? What if the mystery of our existence is at hand? What if its revelation actually brings us happiness and fulfilment when we come face to face with it?

What if the truth of our life's purpose, and of its happiness, is as simple as this:

It is all about connection.

Relationship is everything

Everything is about connecting. Everything is part of everything else. If we look at our own life, it says it all. Then we will start to see the real purpose of our life.

Why do we do anything, ANYTHING at all, in life as humans?

It is simply because we want to connect more and more. We make friends to feel connected. We get married to connect with someone more deeply and more permanently. We create a family to feel even more connected. We go out to meet more people to connect with, not only to get practical benefits from those connections, but also to feel more connected to the world.

We buy good clothes or go to a hairdressing saloon for a better relationship with our aesthetical sense and to our own physical appearance. We eat all types of food to feel more connected to the sense of taste and flavour. We eat out to feel the relationship to the people we dine with. We get mobile phones and computers to weave relationships with others and the world. We read magazines and newspapers to remain in touch with whatever is going on and what others are doing and experiencing. We educate ourselves to keep in touch with what others know and value.

Every thing that we do is to satisfy the need of keeping alive relationships. It is our relationship to our own body that makes it imperative that we eat and sleep. Because of our relationship to our senses, we are asked to do things to satisfy the demands that body makes. If we ignore the demands that body makes, we have to bear the resultant aches and distress. And above our mundane needs, we yearn for another relationship - a relationship to our very existence - a relationship to our purpose. And without that connection, it is vacant. Just like the blankness so many of us feel when we have no relationship even to ourselves. That is just not the way our lives are supposed to be lived.

Connection is powerful, and yet it's fragile and tender

When the bonds in a relationship lose strength, we go in for a separation, divorce, disagreements, judgement, and bitterness. It never feels good to lose the bonding. Still, it possible to be in love with someone today, and totally disconnected and bitter towards him tomorrow. And this change of feelings can happen just by the flicker of an eyelid. And the eyes might be yours or theirs!

When the relationship is not there.

When we do not feel the connection, we start seeing problems. We start seeing differences and barriers. We start judging and criticising others. We magnify, dwell on and give energy to those things we perceive as problems. When that happens, we could even turn it all inwards and give ourselves pain and criticism. We cannot feel totally happy when we're feeling disconnected from even one thing.

Bonding: the Secret to Happiness

What if we choose to perceive the entire thing in reverse? When we do that we understand this simple truth: we cannot feel despondent when we are in a strong relationship. It is simply not possible!

Try to feel moody when we feel the security of our bonding to the people around us and laughing and enjoying with our whole heart. Even if we have our own fair share of difficulties in life, we would still be able to break into a laugh and enjoy and feel good when the bonds are strong. At the same time, we would be unable to enjoy things when those bonds are absent.

Bonding: Our Life

Connection is the core of everything. That's what life is. Connection.

Things are just a combination of smaller parts. Things connect together to form a greater whole; the way our bodies are collections of smaller units, cells, organs, molecules and atoms.

Our actions and choices also express the need for connection. We are designed to constantly seek ways to connect to each other and to a greater purpose.

Connection and Religion

Some of us opt to be part of various religions to feel better bonded. This bonding that they seek could be to God. It may be to the people with the same convictions. When we share a similar credence, there is a greater feeling of being bound to the people in that group. More awarding and handing over takes place among people who are feeling strong bonds with each other.

Connection and Business

People start a business to feel a stronger relationship to themselves by having better mastery over their destiny. But quite often in the world of entrepreneurship, there is a greater sense of isolation especially when we start seeing other enterprises as rivals, staff as devices and customers as a source of income. With all that, the main reason for getting into the business was to establish a relationship. So why should we cause any secluding at all? Maybe in an ideal world, all enterprises worked in another way, but jointly.

Bonding and Wars

Some of us even create arguments or wars to experience some sense of 'victory' or supposedly a greater sense of security and significance. But ironically, this rebounds. The moment we 'win' the battle, we are actually more disconnected from others. We now need more security to protect ourselves from being attacked by others. We somehow end up being more insecure and afraid. We can't laugh at this because it actually happens to almost every one of us in different ways.

It may be the differences of opinion we have with people around us. It may be the wrong conclusions we reach at when we decide another person is wrong. When we want to be the only person to triumph, it will not be a victory in the true sense of the word - there would be no bonding. We can only rejoice when we succeed in unison. Then we feel the strong bond.

No matter how differently we express our needs, everything we do is to fulfil the mere desire we have to feel and be connected.

The complete experience of relationship is only felt through our heart. We can build a relationship with anybody when we truly care for them, and feeling that association with them. If we know this, forming that needed state is not difficult, but just simple and amusing. Then we would really feel more pleasure and contentment.

Life is a sport. We feel things and do things in a grand game but in reality the aim of any game is the pleasure we get out of it. It is not about doing something or having something. When the sports finally end, the winners are only the ones who have derived pleasure from the game. Not the ones who had more at the final tally. The upshots and end results of the sports in which we participate do not affect our actual life. But if we lost all our friends to participate in a game just because we wanted to win in that round, would it lead us to a lasting victory?

It is easy to comprehend this when compared to acting in a play, but we often fail to understand it while enacting the play of life. We do not remember that life is also a play.

We have no idea when the play started and when it would come to an end, we know that it began some day in the past and it will be finished some day. When the curtain falls on the stage of the play, we can just say, "Wow, it was really good. Let's act in it once again!"

In this game called life, the aim of the game is to 'connect'. We can keep connecting until we all become one. It is the only way to continuously feel connected to our purpose-sense of happiness and joy. We cannot feel disconnected to anything or deny and judge even one thing if we are to achieve the state of total connection.

Life is as easy as that. There is only ONE secret.

And the secret is to establish a relationship.

To become ONE.

To find pleasure.

Hypnosis - The Truth Behind All The Myths

By Adam Cox

Hypnosis and its subset, hypnotherapy, have always been mired in misconceptions. Some consider them to be some sort of magic while others hesitate to even acknowledge them. Some of the popular misconceptions associated with hypnosis and the truth behind them are given below.

Hypnosis has no link with any sort of mystical arts. It borders more on the science of the human mind and is very easy to practice for anyone who is willing to learn it. Even people who have seen hypnosis on others often refuse to believe in it. They argue that those who can be hypnotized are somehow weak mentally. But nothing could be more distant from the truth. Even people with strong will power can fall under the charms of an expert hypnosis practitioner.

Another notion about hypnosis that people have made up without reason is that it is an alternate state of consciousness. An individual under hypnosis does not get segregated from the external world, but stays completely aware of the happenings around him. During the hypnotic state, the subject relaxes completely and is therefore able to concentrate fully on the inputs provided by the practitioner.

Some researchers have concluded that hypnosis succeeds on just 5% of the human population, and this is another prevalent myth. Although, the finding has some shred of truth to it, what makes it empty is the fact that the scientists made use of the same hypnosis procedure for everyone. Hypnosis can't be oversimplified like that and clicks only if there are different approaches for different personality styles.

Meditation and hypnosis are often confused with each other. But while hypnosis is a communication technique, meditation is all about a state of mind and usually has nothing to do with communication. Similarly, a state of trance is also sometimes confused with hypnosis, which is not correct. Trance is again a mental state devoid of any communication, on the other hand communication forms the very foundation of the hypnosis method.

Another myth is that bodily and behavioural alterations in a person are not possible through hypnosis training or hypnotherapy. Hypnosis certainly cannot transform the body in unnatural ways. But by mentally conditioning a person to abandon addictive habits like overeating and chain smoking, and by heightening one's inspiration levels, hypnosis can bring about important physical alterations in a person and ensure a healthier body.

Experiencing hypnotherapy is a good way to lead a happy and satisfying life, and therefore one should not pay attention to the myths, and go for hypnotic sessions with an open mind.

Fearless Living Makes For Successful Living

By Robert Hall

We have discussed many ways on making money effectively. However, you need to understand that no matter how well you apply the principles taught; there are factors that will block your path to financial freedom if you allow it. One of the most common of these hindrances is fear.

Fear takes on many faces-worry being one of them. When we fret and constantly meditate on negative thoughts concerning money, we activate the law of attraction and will unfortunately find ourselves in the very situation we are scared of.

In the Bible, we find this example with the famous bearer of unfortunate incidents, Job. Job was honest and good; yet in a way he allowed these circumstances to happen because he entertained, indeed, constantly thought about things that scared him. He said, "Behold, the thing I fear has come to visit me.", and so it came to pass.

In relation to our finances, we will never reach our highest potential if we are always worried about making money and expecting deficiency of resources. See, fear is not the insubstantial emotion people mistake it to be-far from it. When we meditate on fear, it will trigger the law of attraction and keep prosperity from us.

There are too many people that live like paupers. It's not that they don't have money; they just hoarded it up because of fear that their finances will run out. Therefore they experienced what they meditated on. Their poverty mentality never gave them the financial freedom that was available in their reality.

As with anything, what you nurture will grow. If you keep feeding yourself pessimistic reports that aggravate your worry-fear will be magnified in your life. If you want success, learn to stop giving too much importance on everybody's negative opinion and listen instead to the voice inside you that quiets this fear.

In his book Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill states that opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth, and they are. Everyone has some and they are only too willing to share it, regardless its validity. The quality of your life hinges on your decision on which voice you choose to heed.

Choose to listen to God's voice above the din of the world and do not fear anything else. It gave success to a man like Napoleon Hill-it will give the same to anybody who wants it.

Learn How To Get Rich And Build Wealth Effectively

By Robert Hall

I don't know about you but looking at current events and the newspapers makes it look like it's impossible to get rich at this day and age. It's like you should be grateful if you are able to earn money enough to fulfill you and your family's needs and anything more than that is being lucky.

Friend, get yourself out of thinking that way. This belief will lower your quality of life for sure. It is a strange thing that we invest so much of our finances in education yet most school systems are sorely lacking the correct principles on how to make money effectively.

Money is not reserved for people who come from good families, have the right connections and possess extra ordinary talents. Granted, you can be born into wealth but anybody can get rich- that includes you.

Think with me for a while-how many people have become rich in spite of unfortunate situations that have beset them all their lives? Look at Oprah Winfrey. She might have experienced a lot of tragedy, but she came out of it triumphant. Her personality and strength of will empowered her to build wealth and be part of history as we know it.

It's important that we understand one important concept today-it is easy to earn money. How can that be with so many needy and helpless people around? The answer to that is because we have a mistaken idea on how to make money and become rich in the world.

You don't get wealth by belonging in the right gender, age or even nationality. It starts from the inside and manifests into your reality. Wealth begins in your mind. Develop your prosperity consciousness and riches will start to make its presence felt in your current reality.

Have this prosperity consciousness ingrained firmly in you. It will cause you to think and act in support of this belief. Because money is recompensed by the value of the service you have provided; purpose to become excellent and above average in all that you do. Aim to provide quality of life to the people you serve; and that is what you will have in return.

Harness your inner power and begin to build wealth like you never thought possible. Protect the thoughts that you think and the attitude that you put on every day. The happy results in your life will confirm the truth of the statement we discussed-- it really is easy to earn money.

What is Hypnosis and How it Helps Humanity

By Ray Bonanza

Hypnotism is better-known as a enhanced period of suggestibility which enables the subject to interact positively to the propositions of the hypnotizer. This mental state is usually induced with the cooperation of the subject by another individual - the hypnotist. Induction directions or suggestions plays a respectable role in causing hypnosis and can be administered by the subject or the hypnotist.

The induction performed by the subject is referred to as self hypnosis. And when used for curative purposes, it is ordinarily called hypno-therapy. These are popular facts about hypnotism that is agreeable among most hypnotists and psychologists. One of the most familiar misconception is that a hypnotic state is equivalent to unconsciousness or sleep. However, this is far from true and in fact, the subject is conscious and in a state of very concentrated attention even though peripheral cognizance is importantly decreased.

In the beginning, hypnosis was connected to animal magnetism and mesmerism and after many decades saw it being realigned away from them. In 1843 a Scottish physician and surgeon called James Braid, was the first to bring attention to the hypnotic state. In his book Neurypnology, Braid represented hypnotism as a state of pure physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration though he later disposed this description as misleading.

Hypnotic induction is usually used by hypnotists as an opening to produce a state of hypnosis. This technique is applied to the subject in order to cause a complete state of relaxation in the subject. While it is not always essential, yet it is well admired as one of the most effective and popular tools in a hypnotist's tool kit. There are umpteen types of hypnotic induction techniques used by hypnotists to enhance client expectation, re-define their roles and make focused attention, to name a few. One of the most favorite technique is the eye fixation technique originally used by Braid and it is still widely used today. You also have the reclining posture, relaxation of muscles and also optical fixation followed by eye closure.

Hypnosis is extremely regarded in creating several medical and therapeutic benefits. It is widely practised as hypno-therapy for that reason and assists in easing of pain, managing skin diseases, weight control, reducing anxiety, psychological therapy, habit control and can also enhance performance in sports. Hypnosis can provide some required benefits to all human psychological, emotional problems and sicknesses.

It is a disgrace that a great majority only knows hypnosis as stage entertainment or entertainment through TV and films. Several of the bad reputation attached to hypnosis can be attributed to this mis-use. The most general misconception is that hypnosis is mind control, which is a far cry from the truth. Fortunately, the credibleness of hypnosis and its applications has improved vastly in the last decade. This betterment will continue to increase as research is also confirming its usefulness in the treatment of several ailments and diseases.

Be A Dynamic Student

By Dr Jay Polmar

DYNAMIC SPEED READING becomes a part of long-term memory. We believe this is caused by intense concentration. Intense concentration causes the altering of states of consciousness which, in turn, accesses long-term memory.

The other factor is eidetic or auditory memories. You can remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't paying attention to what was said. Your brain/mind, like a computer, stores all memories.

Learn the various methods used in the BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING, and you'll notice some intentional redundancy, repetition! It is techniques repeated over and over, with visualization and various other added methods that will help you achieve the results you desire and be the best you can possibly be.

All of this will make you a better student, employee, communicator, and decision maker in your life. And only one of your benefits will be that you will cut reading time on reports, memos, correspondence, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, magazine, etc. You will save time, and the saying goes ..."time is money".

If you didn't know this, let me clue you in to the reality that writers get paid by the word in articles and by % of gross sales (royalties) in book publishing; usually the thicker the book the higher the price and the higher the royalty. Writers are unnecessary verbose. What this means is there are many words within sentences that are just there as fillers; what you have to learn to do, through the Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading program, is only read the words that are essential.

Dr. Jay Polmar and his team wrote the "Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading" program to share these valuable tools with students to help them get the most out of their reading experience. In the past two years he has worked with other educators to bring students the Perfect Learning System (www.perfectlearningsystems.com) which includes Be Dynamic, mind mapping comprehension and memory supports, plus special speed reading software developed to match the Perfect Learning System.

How To Build Trust In The Workplace

By John Smith

With the economy in recession and the difficult times that loom over, ethics seems to take a back seat in some corporate and even government circles. Everyday day seems to bring reports of layoffs. It is no surprise that 62% of people are reportedly less trusting of businesses now than a year ago, according to a recent Edelman survey across 20 countries.

John G.Agno highlights his point that that trust and a good reputation in the marketplace is most aided by a "strong, stable strategy," with the example of Southwest Airlines, a company with the same business strategy for nearly four decades, and one that has managed to largely avoid the blows dealt to other airlines in recent years.

Example of Southwest Airlines was again cited by Mary Jo Asmus at Intentional Leadership. According to her another way to build trust in the market place is in the concepts of servant leadership and sharing of power.

None of these strategies work when the organization is facing mass layoffs and fighting for its very survival. Believe it or not, even this ordeal can be a careful trust-building exercise. After all, the fact that the organization is going through this trial matters less than how the organization goes through it.

The way an organization handles layoffs will directly affect its reputation in the industry and possibly even the entire marketplace when good times resurface. It's very important that you take care of the people who have brought so much to the table for so many years.

No one is asking you to spend a fortune on them, how well your laid-off employees fare is a strong indicator of how much trust will be placed in your organization in the future.

A Small Sense Of Freedom

By L.J. James

Whenever a person or group of people try to live their lives free, those who are stuck in unhappy lives will be jealous. Some people have a hard time letting go, freeing themselves from the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life even for a little while. Others seek an escape from the stress and anxiety often associated with modern day life.

I guess for me, that's part of why I am a Biker. There is something about riding a bike that inspires a sense of freedom in me. The open road, the wind in my face, the smells, getting back to nature, the power of my bike. It's all these things and more that make me feel free. It's unfortunate that there are some people who, for whatever reason, can't find something or someway to let go and experience the sense of freedom that we do. These people, for whatever reason, are the ones who point to us and call us rogues or rebels. They say that what we are doing is wrong and that our culture is a "disruptive influence."

As Bikers, we live our lives a little differently. We work and have responsibilities, but we still know the feeling of freedom. Maybe its because we smile just a bit more and are a bit more relaxed that turns these people green with envy?

A person who works hard and has no free time sees a person on the road riding his or her motorcycle and thinks "I wish that was me!" The thought of being free doesn't leave their mind. They long for it. They crave it badly! How many of you out their have had a friend tell you how they have always wanted to buy a Motorcycle and just go out riding? How many of them ever actually do?

Here is a typical story : A man is driving home from work when he see's a group of motorcycle riders pull up next to him. He looks at this group of people riding together having a great time, He starts to think, "I wish that was me". He then decides, "I'm going to buy a Motorcycle!" He starts thinking about riding. How great it will be to have his wife on the back of his bike and the wind in his face. We could ride up to the lake or maybe that little motel way up in the Mountains. Thinking of the great times he will have he starts to feel that small sense of freedom. He thinks "This must be what those Biker get to feel, Wow!"

He turns into the driveway, parks his truck and rushes into the house to tell his wife about his fantastic idea. "Hi honey, I'm going to buy a Motorcycle." His wife looks at him and says "What? Did you get overwhelmed by the fumes at work again?" "You can't ride a Motorcycle. The man answers back, "I'll learn!"

"You must be crazy", she says. "Those things are death traps! You will kill yourself and we can't afford it!" "Honey this is something I really want" replies the man. "NO NO NO!!! I won't have one of those things in my house! What kind of message would it send to the kids, our neighbors?"

They argue about it, but it the end, the man never gets his motorcycle. He never goes to the lake with his wife or takes that trip up to the little motel in the mountains. He never feels the real sense of freedom one can only get when taking a long trip on a motorcycle. He spends the rest of his life wishing he had never seen that group of Motorcycles. He is angry and bitter.

Now when he see's Bikers he puts them down. He hates Bikers, not because of who or what they are, but because of what he can never be. He hates them because of what they represent. They represent a kind of freedom, sense of belonging, a oneness with nature and the world that he longs for, he craves, but can never have.

We live here in America, the home of the free, but many are not free. They have never experienced the sense of freedom that can only be experienced on two wheels and, for whatever reason, never will. They live boring, uneventful. "safe" lives and complain about those who don't.

Don't hate these envious people, pity them for they will never know the sense of freedom and brotherhood we get from riding with a group of our Bro's. They'll never know the wind in their face, the feeling of peace and oneness with nature we feel as we ride threw the country side or down a long lonely highway. They'll never know the clarity of mind that comes from a long ride alone or the closeness and bond of a long ride or weekend away with someone special. Just thank your higher power that you've found a way to escape, a way to be free, even if for some it's just on the weekends.

Ride Safe and Ride Free because when it all come down to it, this is all about the Ride!

What is Free Clairvoyance?

By Nichole Faux

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be clairvoyant, chances are that you most likely are, it this thought crossed your mind now and again. Every individual has episodes where they dream about something happening before it does. Then again, maybe you have experienced bad feelings about something and you turn out to be correct. Those little episodes of dj vu are another example of being clairvoyant.

The truth is that most people have to learn to further develop their abilities before they become really good at knowing and feeling certain things. So yes, you too can further develop your very own existing clairvoyant abilities.

First you need to realize that you already have such natural powers. Consider those times when you sensed something that actually occurred later. How often has this happened for you? These are free natural powers, which is why the title of this article is free clairvoyance.

When you are ready to increase your natural clairvoyant powers you have to learn more about them. By learning more about the subject you can redirect your natural abilities and develop them into your personality.

You have to use it or you will lose it, this applies to clairvoyance as well as many other things in life. It is easier to tune into your higher spiritual self and pick up on more things when you learn to intently focus on your development.

A big misconception associated with having clairvoyant abilities is that you have to be psychic to develop them. Something else you may have heard is that those types of things are evil and unjust. There are also a lot of people who have associated these abilities with witchcraft and other negative practices. Clairvoyant and other psychic powers are very natural and it was thought that at one time we all used them routinely but this natural power has become repressed over the ages.

While you were a child you may have known about the various feelings and senses that you noticed come true later. Children are innocent and full of positive energy and are highly receptive to their powers of clairvoyance. Many children get talked out of their ability and their belief of their power by well meaning but very unknowledgeable parents and other elders, which is sad for so many of us.

You have more than likely repressed your own clairvoyant capabilities as you grew up; however, you do still have them. By choosing to develop your powers further you enable yourself to not only make logical decisions but decisions based on those things you feel inside yourself that come to you from the universe.

The life of highly clairvoyant individuals are joyful and light. You will have to eliminate any negativity from your life in order to increase your natural clairvoyant capabilities. Negativity is all around us in some form or another, however you need to learn how to block them, while finding something more positive to focus upon.

You will also be able to keep all of those negative thoughts from bombarding your mind and interrupting your inner sanctum of peace. Think about your life now. It is probably full of chaos and confusion, right? How would you like to focus your energies toward clearing out all of the 'junk' in your life and finally for once, having peace of mind and mental clarity?

You can return to true happiness where there is no negativity to bring you down when you develop your powers of clairvoyance. It can provide you with the gift of sight, harmony and feelings. There is no need to pay anyone to interpret messages for you since you have free clairvoyance. The power is within you, you simply need to learn how to use it once more!

Better Comprehension With Speed Reading

By Jay Polmar

People sometimes get frustrated because they fall behind when reading and learning due to the huge amounts of reading material they must learn for school or work. So many books are being written worldwide, that readers sometimes have difficulty keeping up with the production of fiction and non-fiction works. It can be really amazing trying to keep up with it all " don't you think.

In the rapidly changing and highly competitive business world, with new products and services, and new upgrades introduced every week, speed reading really comes in handy. Most corporate millionaires now read two or three business related books every week. Thats a lot of work for those unfortunates who dont have speed reading abilities.

SPEED READING enables people to be able to absorb up to twice or three times what they normally read in the same time.

Reading researchers in the past determined that the brain is capable of comprehending and cataloging from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute. The length of a unit is about one word. The body's five senses are receptors for information, which it transfers to the subconscious mind to be recorded for posterity. When the conscious mind needs information, it is recalled from the subconscious. Then it surfaces the necessary data for processing and use, much like a computer.

An interactivity exists between the brain, which well just imagine is the computer CPU, and the mind which consists of thoughts and memories. All data gets processed in such a way that we can learn it.

The information that we receive, process and evaluate comes from our five physical senses. With that data, our mind makes decisions, choices and judgments. We learn through our five senses (i.e. sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste), which are already pre-programmed to respond automatically.

A good example of pre-programmed action: Consider the example of the teen boy who smells pizza and what his reaction is. It is similar to Pavlov's dog, because his senses send a message to the brain in the form of a thought.

The perception of feeling our favorite food is a mental exercise, compared to the reaction of swallowing which is physical. Therefore, brain and mind is where the action is and the body is where the reaction is.

Learning this system of speed reading will encourage the use of three of the five senses. That is a method that will strongly influence your mind to remember, recall and understand; beyond that, well teach you techniques for becoming a better and more efficient reader.

Follow the instructions and you will become a speed reader who loves to read and improve the quality of his or her own life. We expect great, positive successes from you with great improvements in many areas of your life.

Statistics: The average American high school graduate (I know this sounds strange, but many are graduating without the ability to read at an eighth grade level), reads at about 200 words per minute. A college student reads 20% faster at 300 words per minute. It does not matter what your baseline or beginning reading speed is, your potential reading speed after using these techniques will be faster and your potential is truly unlimited. This is because scientists who have researched the human brain/mind agree that our potential is unlimited. Double-triple-quadruple your reading speed, theres no limit.

You can expect to learn how to get your greatest potentials as a reader, business person, student, etc. This is because you're becoming an avid speed reader and a complete success in life.

Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading will help you become totally unlimited in your power and ability to do, be, and have all that you desire in life, whether its great grades or financial success. Dr. Jay Polmar is the Master of the art of speed learning, accelerated learning and speed reading and has helped over 100,000 students worldwide become perfect learning machines.

Anxiety and Sleeplessness

By Gordon Dalwood

Are you desperate to get a good night's sleep but finding it impossible? Do you find yourself tossing and turning all night and when you do drift off, you wake up soon afterwards again? Is this something you've been experience for a few months, or do you experience these bouts every once in a while? Perhaps you've been having these bouts for year already but because they tend to come and go, you've always just battle your way through them. Well, if any of this sounds familiar, then I'm afraid that anxiety may very well be the cause of the insomnia.

Is this possible? Yes, it is indeed. In fact, if you're concerned about your finances, your job, or even some other personal matter to the point where you can no longer enjoy a good night's rest, then there's a strong possibility that you're suffering from anxiety induced insomnia. And, before you try to brush this off as being nothing more that unpleasant, you need to know that if you continue to go without enough sleep, there can be serious consequences.

Just for a minute, try to imagine what it must be like not having a good night's rest for two or three weeks. Do you think you'd still be efficient with regards to your job? The truth is, such problems could have a dramatic impact on your performance at work. Likewise, your home life could also be put in jeopardy and so too could your relationship with friends and family. Irrespective of what anyone tells you, it's crucial that deal with the situation.

One question often asked even though we know anxiety can cause sleeplessness is why does this happen? Basically the hyperactivity and restlessness you have are the reason these occur together. The mind races through so many thoughts that it makes it impossible to relax long enough to sleep. This is what ends up causing sleeplessness which must be dealt with by anxiety sufferers.

There are many ways one can reduce anxiety so as to eliminate sleeplessness. Without a doubt, one of the most important things to do is not ingest anything that will contribute to anxiety. For example, it is critically important to avoid caffeine or other stimulants if you are having trouble sleeping. This is because they are known to heighten and contribute to anxiety. Hence, they are best avoided.

Frequent and regular exercise is also of vital importance, primarily because anxiety is interconnected with excessive amounts tension and of course, exercise can greatly reduce tension. In fact, just as one can use exercise to burn up calories when you want to loose weight, so too can you use exercise to burn up tension.

Deep breathing exercises are yet another very effective tool which can be used in order to alleviate tension. By learning how to control your breathing, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you can reduce anxiety. Essentially, this is because slow deep breathing helps to slow not only your respiration, but also your heart rate and this in turn has a very calming effect.

Anxiety is a serious problem by itself. When it is compounded by issues related to sleeplessness it becomes even more traumatic. Thankfully, there are ways to alleviate both anxiety and sleepless. So, there is hope that you can be in control of your life once again.

Six Pack Abs Start At Your Refrigerator

By Frank Comers

Getting a flat stomach is what many of us dream about. Some of us are fighting our way to six pack ABS but are we really do ourselves any good if we do not eat as we are working out. The foods we ingest as we work towards a flat stomach is just as important and the muscles we work.

Exercising without eating the foods that can help you get there seems pointless. Sure we all need a little sugar once in awhile but don't think you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight. If you are really serious about losing the flab, and getting that six pack, here are some foods that will help you get there.

The incredible egg will get you toward you goal more than any other food. It burns the fat and gives you ample protein for your diet while you work out. You can do them in any style and if you are going to fry them use olive oil and not butter. Stay away from butter as it will defeat the purpose.

Oatmeal is another great source of food that can give you strength and fight fat. So are non fat dairy products. You can eat at least three servings of non fat dairy each day to fight fat from staying on your stomach. Stay away from full fat products the non fat element is what works for you.

Your dairy can come from any source as long as it is low fat or fat free. You can also get going with natural beans in any form. They are high in fiber to regulate you as you work on weight loss to get that flat belly. They are filling and delicious and can be cooked in many different ways.

Drink water, drink water, drink water! It cannot be said enough that drinking plenty of water each day will make an important difference in your plan to lose belly fat. It will flush out anything in your body and keep your system running smoothly. It also hydrates you and fills you up. Keep a water bottle with you can keep drinking.

How much you eat in a day will make a difference as well. If you eat six small meals each day you have a better chance at your weight loss than eating three larger ones. You can reduce the storage of food in your body and flush out what it does not need. You won't feel bloated with the small meals in this fashion. Choose good fat to keep in your diet and don't block it out all together because it helps you.

Don't give up and stick to your guns to get the six pack ABS you have been dreaming about. You will be happier when you see the flab coming off faster than before. Give it two weeks and try this regimen if you are not already and see the difference it makes for you and your workout.

Finding A C Programming Networking Course Examined

By Jason Kendall

With an abundance of computer courses to choose from, it can be mind-boggling to find the right one. Go for one that's on a par with your personal character, and that will be a useful asset in the commercial world.

Should you be considering becoming more IT literate, perhaps with a Microsoft Office Package, or possibly becoming professionally qualified, you can choose from many training options.

The latest training methods currently allow students to be educated on an interactive course, that is much cheaper than traditional courses. The great value of the new courses means anyone can afford them.

You should look for accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system included in your course.

Steer clear of relying on non-accredited exam papers and questions. The type of questions asked is sometimes startlingly different - and this could lead to potential problems once in the actual exam.

Mock exams will prove very useful as a resource to you - so much so, that at the real thing, you don't get phased.

With all the options available, does it really shock us that the majority of career changers get stuck choosing the job they will follow.

Consequently, if you've got no background in the IT market, how are you equipped to know what any qualified IT worker does each day? Let alone arrive at what certification program is the most likely for you to get there.

Arriving at an informed choice only comes from a thorough study of many shifting key points:

* Personality factors plus what interests you - which work-centred jobs you love or hate.

* Do you want to get qualified because of a particular reason - e.g. do you aim to work at home (maybe self-employment?)?

* Any personal or home requirements you have?

* Many students don't properly consider the amount of work required to get fully certified.

* You need to understand the differences across all the training areas.

In actuality, you'll find the only real way to research these matters will be via a meeting with a professional who has experience of Information Technology (as well as the commercial needs.)

Any advisor who doesn't question you thoroughly - chances are they're just trying to sell you something. If they're pushing towards a particular product before looking at your personality and current experience level, then it's very likely to be the case.

Of course, if you've got any work-experience or certification, then it's not unreasonable to expect to commence studying further along than someone who is new to the field.

It's wise to consider user-skills and software training first. This can set the scene for your on-going studies and make your learning curve a much easier going.

A fatal Faux-Pas that potential students often succumb to is to choose a career based on a course, instead of focusing on the desired end-result. Schools have thousands of students who took a course because it seemed fun - instead of the program that would surely get them the job they want.

Imagine training for just one year and then end up doing the actual job for 10-20 years. Don't make the error of choosing what sounds like an 'interesting' course and then put 10-20 years into a job you hate!

Get to grips with earning potential and the level of your ambition. This can often control what precise exams will be expected and how much effort you'll have to give in return.

We advise all students to chat with experienced industry personnel before following a particular training programme. This gives some measure of assurance that it contains the relevant skills for that career path.

Learn About Singing Lessons That Transforms Muscular Coordination Of Larynx

By Seiss Taylor

Doug Derrickson who performs singing lessons through a vocal training organization he started many years ago, is quoted as saying that the voice is comparable to a fingerprint. Not only is every person's singing experience unique, but so is their instrument. No two human beings have the same instrument. Each of us is gifted at birth with a one-of-a-kind vocal mechanism. Therefore, students who take these voice lessons from Doug are trained that everybody commences coaching at a different spot on the adaptability scale.

Certain instruments are more adaptable or hold physical attributes more suitable for singing, much in the similar way a 6 foot , 6inch man is more malleable to playing basketball than a 5 foot, 7 inch man. Not only is your singing experience unique, your singing instrument is astonishingly complex and different from all other musical instruments.

When learning to sing, students who take Doug's singing lessons must necessarily improve key singing skills, but in addition the singing instrument must go through dramatic change. In short, to become a excellent vocalist, you must expand your singing skills, and adapt, renovate, and build your instrument.

Doug teaches a very encouraging thing when you begin the lessons and that is the truth that the majority of people own the tangible characteristics necessary to be a first-rate lead singer or choir singer. You should be adjustable to the singing process. This is good information on all fronts! You would not have come this far if you were not interested in singing and improving the instrument you sing with! The initial thing you should recognize is these are two separate processes. A person can own a impressive voice and sing terribly while others may sing like a songbird but have very dysfunctional or unfortunate voice attributes.

Apart from the individual with a chronic medical condition of the singing instrument (larynx or voice box) or the one who cannot hear pitch (which is rare), the remaining vast majority is suitable for a life span of singing makeover and vocal health. According to information given in his singing lessons 9 out of 10 people that give you the old "I can't carry a tune in a bucket" line, could be developed into outstanding singers.

As Doug takes his students through his singing lessons, they discover a great deal about the voice and how it is controlled. You see the voice is controlled by involuntary muscle, which do not counter to direct orders. The voice box and larynx only respond to indirect commands. A desired result can be achieved however, when the physical conditions requisite for a response are met. Good vocal management is achieved through interacting associations. The results are astounding in the creation of tone and the coordinated responses within the vocal instrument. This is principle teaching and is the manner in which one will reach their vocal goals.

The direct method of training and the indirect method are utterly opposed to one another, Doug teaches this and that the voice is a reactionary mechanism. He forms his opinion on the idea that access to the laryngeal muscle happens through the relationships between intensity, pitch and vowel.

While going through their singing lessons students learn exercises that balance, align and divide the vocal registers. This results in vocal freedom and beautiful tonal qualities to the voice. When this harmony is reached between vowel, pitch and intensity the mental poise can surface in the physical through the cooperative rapport and give reproducible responses of their singing mechanism.

The Incredible Power Of The Subconscious Mind

By Elliot Cox

Subconscious mind is an essential part of all of us. There are many who even blame their unscrupulous doings on their subconscious minds. However, there are only a few who truly understand the subconscious mind and its amazing powers and abilities. This amazingly potent instrument can become our biggest ally or the most dangerous adversary. Interestingly, your life and your circumstances are all governed by your subconscious mind. Many people still don't understand the true meaning of the subconscious mind and its significance in our lives.

We all admit to the existence of the subconscious mind despite the constant endeavors of some professionals. Our thoughts and actions are directed by this control board. When faced with some tough challenges, it becomes our guiding voice. Every individual's subconscious mind is as unique as a finger print. Even twins have an inner voice which is uniquely their own.

We all know the voice of our inner mind. There may have been times when you were trying to risk everything for a whim and it helped you to realize the truth. There may have been times it may have prompted you to take a decision which may have proved beneficial in the long run. However, there are times when the inner voice tells you that you are not good enough, beautiful enough or even don't have a good enough figure. Actually subconscious is nothing but you deepest beliefs and thoughts which reside deep inside.

If those deep thoughts you have about yourself are negative then chances are better than not that you are not going to have the type of life that you want. The good news is that you can change the way you think about yourself. You can change the way the things that the subconscious mind says to start living the life you really want.

Many people use affirmations to help change the way they think. These are positive statements that you repeat to yourself multiple times through the day. You don't have to spend a lot of money on subliminal messaging scripts, you can do this yourself at home and it is very effective. Think about what it is you want to change about yourself.

Let's take weight loss as an example. Start believing and telling your self with total conviction that you are your idea weight. If you want write it down on a piece of paper, stick it on your mirror, record it and make a ring tone and even use the affirmation as a screen saver. Repeat this affirmation till the time your subconscious starts taking it as a gospel truth or in other words it becomes your deepest belief.

Soon this affirmation will become the reality of your life and you will be the slim person you want to be. As a matter of fact, this can work on anything from having more money to even having a great relationship. It may be possible that you still don't believe in this fact.

To demonstrate how your subconscious mind controls your life, here is an example which all of us have experienced in some point in our lives. Most of the times if we happen to wake up late due to a malfunctioning alarm or some other reason, we often wake up in a bad mood. On waking up our thought is 'Oh, no, this day is going to be difficult!' As a result, you spill your coffee, burn your dress and may be even have a flat tire on your way to the office. This makes your think again and you say 'it's certainly one of those difficult days'. Your day becomes even more difficult with numerous impediments and there may even be a point in a day when you think 'how worse can it get' and then you realize loads!

There are people who may laugh this off as a coincidence. However, coincidences are nothing but myths, there is a reason behind every happening in the universe. Your subconscious works to give you things that coincide with your deepest beliefs and thoughts.

People have realized the true power of subconscious mind with the help of books and movies like 'The Secret'. The 'law of attraction' is now a familiar term with every one. It simply means that your life is nothing but a reality created by your own subconscious beliefs.

Crazy as this seems quantum physics is in agreement with this basic theory and it has been proved that at subatomic level, the existence of matter really is intrinsically linked with the mind of the observer. This is also what the ancient religions have been saying for many thousands of years.

So if we do create our own reality with our subconscious mind, then with practice we can choose what kind of reality we experience! Some of the richest people in the world throughout history have realized this fact and have manifested incredible wealth by consistently visualizing clearly exactly what they want and communicating this to their subconscious mind.

2012 - It's Not The End Of The World

By Dr. Jay Polmar

Emmerich's film 2012 caused a big panic, and all the disaster-porn films we've seen for the last 50-60 years or so is scaring the heck out of viewers. So badly are they scared of the end that they are watching the same movies of disaster, over and over, with different actors, different titles, and different producers - all aimed to scare you and empty your pockets.

The World Isn't Coming To An End, it's just scary Hollywood, or Horrorwood - as some label it.

Let's get real. Let's discuss some of the pin-point targets:

1. Rumor: The World Will End With Planetary Alignment and the repositioning of the Earth along the Galactic Equator .... they are nuts! The phenomena of placement of the stars and galaxies in space is not new. These things have occurred before, and it wasn't the end of the world. Actually, the date predicted, Winter Solstice, 2012 is not as significant as other astronomical phenomena happening before this. This is just fear-mongering of the formerly unemployed ' of the world writers' with nothing better to do than create movies to scare the bejesus out of little kids.

2. There is no Mayan Prophesy says the world is coming to an end. There is no known prophesy that the world is coming to an End and whoever said that should know that it can't be. The records of the Maya civilization were effectively destroyed, like all other Meso-American histories by the Spanish Conquistadors, who just pillaged the valuables, raped the women and then killed the men and sometimes the women, but not necessary in that order. And, what information that was kept - was kept in secret archives to keep the truth away from the public because it would destroy the Catholic Church. The evidence indicated that the majority of the Meso-American population was, in fact, the lost tribes of Israel. This was written by Franciscan Monks at the time of the invasion, and British and other archeologists later. The actual Mayan Prophesy was simple - 'Live naturally, in natural time, or your biosphere (Earth - our mother ship) would not survive. We'll we did it. No lying about that. For the past umpteen years, we have been just like conquerors, raping, murdering, and killing mother earth. OOPS! I didn't do it - you didn't do it - the politicians allowed it - all for greed. Oil, Gold, Silver - rape the earth suffers the consequences. The end date of the Mayan Calendar had nothing to do with the end of the planet, it had to do with the end of an era.

2a. It's important to note that when the Earth was first inhabited there was something of a 3 degree axis tilt and the planet was green, and water blue, and life was abundant. What by the name of God have we done to our mother?

2b. We're at 23 degree wobble now. Yes, something is happening, changes are occurring, but it's not the end. It scares people to think that changes are coming - people fear change. CHANGE IS GOOD!

2c. People will die. Yes, we've burned fossil fuels, destroyed our air, cut down our forests, created deserts where there were none before and previously the planet cleansed itself with great floods. People are dying, we are more aware since Hurricane Katrina, that things are not right due to global warming, and Tsunamis, great floods, and thousands more deaths in countries where floods were a rarity.

2d. And there are many species are dying. Faster than ever before species are disappearing. One indication that might be considered, or two, are the frog population which began disappearing a few years back, and the bees. We are impacting nature and we don't step lightly - our footprint is huge and visible, and we are destroying all of life without mistreatment of our mother.

2e. Now there are more diseases, more horrible, more incurable - a sick society and planet produce all forms of diseases.

3. Human Nature - It's obvious that the nature of the human being is to conquer. The continuous development of warfare, atomic, and nuclear weaponry is solely aimed at the destruction of mankind and hurting the planet. Previously, we had been the only big bully playing with nukes, now every schoolyard bully has them and someone is likely to play war games just to demonstrate my 'thing' is bigger than your 'thing'.

3a. The Belief in Ancient Religions - I must mention this, because this is the greatest manipulation of human beings' behavior on Earth. Sorry, priests, ministers, rabbis, I honor you all for what you know, but your DOGMA is not helping the situation. Each one of you has chosen an individual branch as path of the Tree of Life, and none of you are on the Expressway to God. Please stop telling your people they are sinners - as men of God, many of you have been caught with your own pants down around your ankles and some honey taking some money for some SINFUL and LUSTFUL experience you needed to have. You dirty old sinner you. It may not have been you, but we all know of whom I speak. I am not judging you - just stop judging others and stop playing the blame game which results in guilt. As you know - guilt has absolutely no survival value, it is responsible for many illnesses that do not resolve and result in death. Stop guilting others, or ...

3b. Did You Know That Humans Mistreat Each Other and Mother Earth Too - imagine all the drilling, the cutting of trees, the burning of fields, everything normal and beautiful of earth destroyed by greed to steal the resources and be billionaires, all at the cost of our mother. Imagine our planet as a great big fluffy dog, filled with life. And the dog feels the burring of something drilling into it - just like a flea. And another, burning like burning the trees - the dog begins to scratch and shake fiercely and the fleas fall off. You got a parachute for when this happens to us?

4. The Mayan Calendar is Ending - Interestingly enough does end on the Winter Solstice, 2012. Why? Not because it's the end of the world - it's just the end of the 5th Cycle of Life on the Planet. The 6th Cycle that begins immediately thereafter and is called the Age of Enlightenment. It's sounds like an exciting time to be alive - so get prepared!

WELCOME - this is reality.

Many of us will fall off, many of us will die. Are you prepared? Those who are not prepared, and those who think they are better or more greater, more important or more powerful than Mother Earth that we live on, will suffer.

Virgin Airline's Richard Branson has made his fleet of Intergalactic Space ships to take the rich and wealthy off the planet, just like Roland Emmerich has set of Arks in his movie. Branson's ticket price is much cheaper.

I'D RATHER STAY HERE ON EARTH

In 1987, the Harmonic Convergence, which was written about by Dr. Jose Arguelles, and my participation in it - by doing long travels through endless ruins, culminating at the El Tule Tree in Oaxaca in Mexico, spoke the prophesy that we had 25 years left of life as we knew it. We must return to natural, non-destructive living. Oops Earthlings, you blew it!

Now the cards are laid out on the table. Natural disasters are not done by nature but by those politicians who paid no heed to the warnings.

What can the scenario possibly be -- to cause the end of life as we know it? Who knows, asteroids, meteorites, some crazy Anti-Semitic Iranian ex-president who stole the presidency from the people in order to try to wipe out the State of Israel, some angry Korean president who is dying because of his anger at the United States over a 60 year old situation, or errors by our own major powers in their thinking that nuclear energy is stable enough to survive what our earth going through with hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, and worse. All the time our earth, which I'd like to assimilate it to be life this this big furry yellow dog who it tired of all the baggage she's carrying and begins shaking off the fleas. The fleas are US!

HOW TO SURVIVE THIS WHAT THE FOOLS PREDICT?

Be prepared. More than anything else - it's your mind and soul that need preparation. Since we all know that the soul is immortal, you will survive in one form or another. We have prepared the first of several guides on survival. This first one was just updated Nov. 2009, originally written in 1991 - to help you survive what is undoubtedly going to be a life-changing experience.

The title is - "The World is a Mess, and We Are Responsible - Isn't It Time To THINK RIGHT?
