13 Metaphysical Hacks to Boost Your Relationship Part II

Share Button

It’s normal for all relationships to have low and high points. Open and honest communication can help you get back on track. But if that hasn’t helped, we have some unique options for you.

It’s best to try these suggestions together, but it’s ok if that’s not possible; changing your perception of your partner and your relationship will make a difference.

Clear Your Energy

What would your home look like if you never cleaned it? Just like your living space, your energy field benefits from a regular cleaning too. Relationship problems can be the result of unseen influences like negative energy or lost souls. You’ll both feel less combative and more loving once you remove the spiritual garbage and regularly protect yourself.

Forgive

Forgive yourself and your partner for everything (on a regular basis, since forgiveness is an ongoing process). It’s not about letting someone off the hook, but releasing yourself from the heavy burden of guilt or resentment.

“It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.” Maya Angelou

Have The Courage To Love Unconditionally

It’s not always easy to love your partner as they are, but doing so will create more harmony. Accept that they may never live up to your expectations of what a partner should be like. Accept that this relationship is also a spiritual exercise for you, and it’s as much about your learning and growth as your partner’s.

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.” Gilda Radner

Use Your Free Will Wisely

You can’t control fate, but you can use your free will to react to it and your partner as best you can. Regular meditation will help you stay calm and focused and react more like a sage instead of a tyrant. Taking time apart and doing your own thing will also help; it’s not healthy to do couple activities all the time and be together 24 hours a day, every day.

“Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.” Jawaharlal Nehru

Cherish Your Partner And Relationship

Focus on and be grateful for all the good things, and watch your blessings multiply.

Enjoy Nature

Some time at the beach or a walk in the woods will enhance your connection to spirit and state of mind.

Accept That No Match Is Perfect

When your relationship is at a low point, remind yourself that all relationships have positive and negative periods and aspects.

Realize That Compatibility Isn’t Up To You

Authentic compatibility is either there or it isn’t, and it existed between you two before you even met in this life. Don’t beat yourself up if it’s not the greatest. An exceedingly harmonious, innate connection is the most important for happiness and relationship longevity, yet it’s not very common. It’s also very different than superficial compatibility, which is about similar interests and preferences.

If you feel like you’ve done all you can to fix your relationship but it’s still causing you both too much unhappiness, remember that a successful long-term relationship has a lot to do with fate, and they’re not always fated for everyone. This means you can be a wonderful person, do all the right things, and still be unhappy in your relationship. After all, the spiritual reasons for relationships are often about personal and spiritual growth, and we learn the most through challenges.

While the tips above will help you create more harmony in your relationship, there’s only so much you can do. You have free will to make the most of situations, but when two people don’t have inherent compatibility, the relationship will be an uphill struggle most of the time.

Once you realize and accept this, it can be easier to let go, accept each other, and deal with the differences. Also, accepting the notion that an ideal soul mate relationship is rare can also make it easier when your relationship isn’t measuring up to that fantasy.

13 Metaphysical Hacks to Boost Your Relationship Part I

Share Button

Every relationship has high and low points. If yours could use a boost, open and honest communication is one way to get back on track. But if communication hasn’t solved the problems, we have some unique options for you.

Trying these suggestions together, as a couple, is ideal. But if your partner isn’t able or willing, that’s ok; subtle changes can make a big difference, regardless of what the other person does.

Subliminal MP3s

One way to improve a situation is to change your perception about it, and subliminal MP3 audio recordings will help you do exactly that. Since your conscious mind can’t hear and critique the positive suggestions, your conscious mind will accept them with repeated use. They can act as the wind at your back, helping you overcome obstacles and rise above difficult times. For example, if a relationship is salvageable, an influx of self-love, confidence, and a sense of humor can make it much easier to deal with disharmony.

“We possess within us a force of incalculable power, which if we direct it in a conscious and wise manner, gives us the mastery of ourselves and allows us not only to escape from physical and mental ills, but also to live in relative happiness.” – Émile Coué, French psychologist & pharmacist who introduced “Conscious Autosuggestion”

Hypnosis

Hypnosis has a bad rap thanks to movies that portray it incorrectly as mind control, and silly hypnosis stage shows. In reality, hypnosis is simply a deep state of relaxation that you’ve probably experienced many times while watching TV or driving a familiar route. One way to utilize hypnosis for your relationship is to uncover and deal with childhood or past relationship conflicts that may be interfering now. Or you can use it to react more positively to each other, cherish your relationship, and more. You can do this through a trained hypnotist, or try one of the many hypnosis MP3s available online for specific personality and relationship issues.

“Hypnosis is to consciousness what a telephoto lens is to a camera.” – David Spiegel, Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University & respected expert in the clinical use of hypnosis

Past Life Regression

Our findings show that past lives have a lot more to do with your relationship than you may realize. The concept of reincarnation is directly related to the theory of karma, which is about the good and not so good aspects of your relationship and your life that may be the result of past life actions. It’s never about punishment, but simply cause and effect and learning the lessons of life. Even if you don’t believe in reincarnation, past life regression as a meditation can help you rise above and even solve current life problems. It’s an exceptionally freeing and empowering process, if you temporarily suspend skepticism and judgment, and allow it to work.

“I am no Hindu, but I hold the doctrine of the Hindus concerning a future state (rebirth) to be incomparably more rational, more pious, and more likely to deter men from vice than the horrid opinions inculcated by Christians on punishments without end.” –William Jones

Watch Your Thoughts

It’s natural to sometimes feel annoyed or angered by your partner. However, directing negative thoughts at each other will create a nasty game of energy ping-pong; thoughts are things and can damage your relationship and each other. Express how the actions or words made you feel, then let go of it. Or, instead of dwelling on what your partner said or did, send each other Light, which will heal and help you see the truth of the situation.

Pay Attention To Your Personal Timing

The phases and highlights of your life are symbolized by cycles of time and everyone’s are different. Sometimes your collective timing patterns represent rewarding relationships, and sometimes not. Some natal and timing patterns are excellent for certain goals, like improving your love life, and some aren’t at all. Overall rewarding or challenging collective timing relating to the key areas of life (e.g., finances, love life, career, etc.) range in duration from hours to years. Knowing your overall timing allows you to capitalize on the rewarding parts of life and even mitigate some of the challenging parts. An expert in comprehensive (not horoscopes or computer printouts) numerology and astrology can help you identify optimum periods of time for your specific goals.

“The whole of ancient astrology owed its origin to conversation with the cosmic intelligences. But by the time of the first centuries after the rise of Christianity, ancient astrology – that is to say, conversation with cosmic intelligences – was a thing of the past.” –Rudolf Steiner

The tips above will help you create a stronger relationship, but remember that sometimes the inherent energy between two people just isn’t conducive to a harmonious relationship. Once you accept this, it’s easier to accept each other as you are and deal with the differences.

5 New Age Myths Debunked

Share Button

The New Age marketplace includes many honorable individuals sincerely striving to offer genuine self-help and spiritual methods to help others and make this world a better place.

However, it also includes its share of scam artists. Unfortunately, much of the metaphysical market is rooted in escapism because it sells much better than the truth. While many people may prefer escapism and poetry instead of honesty, the truth ultimately prevails.

Our philosophies are based on our long-term empirical-based findings. Our intent is to save you enormous amounts of time and inconvenience so that you avoid making the same mistakes we made on our journey.

Below we expose five New Age myths to help you navigate your spiritual path.

1. ”Your karma can be erased without having to balance it directly.” Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to atone for your past actions? Alas, karma cannot be erased, just like you can’t magically erase a hangover or the consequences of a junk food diet.

Go easy on yourself because part of the experience of being incarnated is making mistakes so you learn and avoid bigger ones. Nobody is perfect, but everyone must take responsibility for all his or her actions because nobody gets a get-out-of-jail free card after incurring karma, no matter how much forgiveness you express.

2. “Select psychics can erase your karma for you.” This is false, just as you can’t do it for yourself. Avoid the psychics who claim such powers. Also avoid those who claim to be able to control the behavior of other people (e.g., bring a lover back).

3. “As long as your intent is good, it’s okay to do spells to make others do what you want.” Nothing could be further from the truth. As soon as you use black magic—and by definition, that’s what it is—to attempt to get someone to do what you want, you cross a very dark line and set yourself up for wicked harsh karma.

Additionally, spells cast to control others invariably utilize demons or negative energy in some form or another. If you get in bed with dark forces, you are wed to them for a very long time, including being their sinister servant on the other side after death.

4. “Astrology and numerology are only about possibilities.” Once you thoroughly investigate and apply the ancient methodologies of astrology and numerology, beyond the superficiality of horoscopes, transits, progressions, and other basic modern astrology and numerology methods, you realize there’s a lot in everyone’s life that is set in stone.

Our findings clearly show that predetermined, core life experiences and circumstances are a fact of life for everyone and comprehensive astrology and numerology, through pattern recognition, effectively outline overall rewards and challenges.

5. “Psychics, astrologers, numerologists, and other seers use demonic energy in their occult work.” Select religions tout this myth and it would be amusing if it didn’t make our work harder than it already is.

First, “occult” simply means hidden knowledge. There’s nothing sinister about tapping into life’s mysteries.

Second, in order to use demonic energy, you must align yourself with that energy. Using pure psychic ability or pattern recognition (e.g., in astrology, numerology, etc.) in tracking life circumstances has nothing to do with the dark side. Those who say otherwise would know this if they examined it firsthand instead of blindly embracing the dogma they are spoon-fed.

Prophesy, which has existed long before the world’s dominant religions, is as innocuous as forecasting the weather or financial trends.

It’s possible to use demonic energy in any type of work, and metaphysics isn’t inherently demonic in nature.

To avoid dark energies, we recommend avoiding excess alcohol, drugs, negative people, black energy rituals, and spells cast to control others. Regularly visualize yourself surrounded in white Light, and ask for protection and guidance from guides of the Light, including archangel Michael and, or the God you pray to.

Karma Can Be Complex—Case Study

Share Button

The metaphysical definition of karma is a direct and clear action, then reaction, such as diligently striving to be a successful performer in several lifetimes, then finally succeeding in a subsequent lifetime.

Many people toss around the word karma, even those who don’t believe in reincarnation (though you can’t have one without the other). For example, if a cheater gets burned, they say it’s his karma. But our experience with past life regression and reincarnation research tells us karma is much more complicated than that.

The evidence in the book ”Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” illustrates the point that karma is usually more than just a superficial tit-for-tat.

The Comanches were the most war-like tribe in the region of what is now Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. For more than 200 years, they wiped out countless Indians from other tribes. Horse trading, as well as slave trading, were their major sources of revenue. They also pioneered many forms of torture.

Perhaps not liking the fact that settlers were traversing their territory and, in some cases, occupying it, the official record is that the Comanches attacked Texans first.

The Comanches were so fierce that Mexico wanted American settlers to settle in Texas to create a buffer between them and the Comanches, who were a major threat to Mexico (the Comanches had destroyed the Spanish army).

Many other Native American tribes in the south and southwest were peaceful, but were attacked by settlers. The settlers didn’t attempt to distinguish between peaceful tribes and war-mongering tribes (e.g., Comanches). Often times they didn’t have a choice; it was kill or get killed in the west of the 1800s.

Colossal amounts of negative karma were likely generated on both sides. Early in the Comanche-settlers dispute, one Comanche raid kidnaped 10 young women, new settlers in Texas, and turned them into slaves because this is the way it had always been done for centuries between Indian tribes. Texan settlers retaliated, and so the continuous battles began, until the Comanches were finally almost wiped out.

Massive amounts of karma may have been balanced as well. It may sound cruel, but it may have been a young woman’s karma to be kidnapped and sold into slavery. Remember, slavery has occurred on this planet for thousands of years and if the notion of karma is valid, negative actions must be balanced according to universal law. Note: we aren’t condoning slavery. We’re simply relaying our findings and theorizing from a spiritual perspective.

Cynthia Ann Parker, a settler kidnapped by the Comanches at age 10, completely assimilated into the tribe’s ways. She married a Comanche chieftain, Peta Nocona, and one of her three children was the last Comanche chief, Quanah Parker. She lived with the Comanches for 24 years and was forcibly taken back to the settlers, but then escaped and was forcibly brought back again.

The settlers refused to acknowledge that she was much happier with the tribe that kidnapped her.

In her case, and perhaps many others, it could have been her bad and good karma that dictated those key circumstances of her life.

Alternatively, it may not have been someone’s bad karma to be kidnapped and sold into slavery, but instead her soul’s decision to experience it to eventually help others avoid that nightmare.

In theory, the honorable settler families who stayed away from Indian territory and didn’t cause problems, but were still targeted and devastated by Comanches, may have had a date with destiny, just as a lot of the Comanches who were slaughtered may have had a date with destiny.

Many Comanches, including chief Quanah Parker, eventually, willingly assimilated into American west culture, adopting many settler ways, even while select Comanches refused. They really didn’t have a choice in the end since their main source of sustenance (bison) was dying out.

From the standpoint of predetermination, warring tribes eliminating each other, the bison dying out, and the arrival of settlers in the American west suggests civilization was predestined to develop and perhaps even progress to where it is today.

Through the rough karma on both sides, the settlers’ ways contributed to the remaining Comanches’ survival, just as myriad explorers and cultures all over the globe have shared and benefited from each other’s unique ways of survival for eons.

Meditation & Spiritual Detox for Anxiety, Not Magic Mushrooms

Share Button

Only reckless teenagers and hippies dared to trip on magic mushrooms in the past. Not anymore.

Based on two recent studies, magic mushrooms, or the psychedelic drug psilocybin, may have significant benefits for cancer patients experiencing anxiety and depression. One dose gave 80 percent of patients relief from anxiety for six months. Some were still anxiety-free four years later.

According to researchers, magic mushrooms ease anxiety and depression because of the feeling of love and being “one” with everything. This causes a change in the brain, or neuroplasticity. “Studies using MRI imaging show psilocybin alters brain activity, allowing for communication between regions of your brain that normally do not connect. This is believed to be part of the breakthroughs people report.”

In a December 1, 2016 Time Magazine article, Dinah Bazer tells of her experience taking a single dose of psilocybin in a study at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Dinah said that at first she felt fear and like she was “tumbling through space.” After being calmed by the researchers guiding her, she was able to relax and see her fear as a black mass inside her body. She took control and ordered the black mass out, and it disappeared.

She then ”…started to feel love. I felt like I was being bathed in love and its as overwhelming, amazing, wonderful… The feeling of immense love lingered for weeks, and four years later I still feel it at times. My fear and anxiety were completely removed, and they haven’t come back. …The experience changed how I wanted to live my life. …I used to imagine what it would be like if the cancer recurred, but I don’t think about it the same way anymore. When I don’t feel well and thoughts of a recurrence creep into my mind, I lack fear and simply think, ‘Let’s just see what happens.’”

What Goes Up Must Come Down

Though the benefits of magic mushrooms seem promising, according to Stephen Ross, who led the NYU study, ”If someone goes out and does this themselves, they could have enormous anxiety and paranoia, and can feel much worse. Though I’m sympathetic, I’d strongly recommend people not do that.”

Even in controlled situations, we’re still very leery that the benefits of magic mushrooms outweigh the dangers. This reminds us of how some people claim bong hits of marijuana have few or no side effects. As much as we didn’t want to believe it in our late teens, we now believe all mind-altering drugs negatively affect emotions and mental health, block spiritual growth, and can attract negative entities and spiritual troublemakers.

Additionally, it’s important to consider the physical complications of consuming mind-altering drugs (and excess alcohol), which can include vitamin/mineral deficiencies, liver problems, cognitive problems, and more.

Alternative To Magic Mushrooms For Depression and Anxiety

Instead of masking depression and anxiety with medication and suffering the side effects, or using magic mushrooms and risking the possible side effects, how about identifying and dealing with the source of the problem?

We’ve noticed that most problems can have a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual component. Sometimes, when you address the spiritual part, the others are easier to deal with or even disappear.

After using our free Spiritual Detox script for years, daily for periods of time (which, like peeling an onion, also removes a layer of negative patterns each time), and noticing profound changes in how we feel and our perception and awareness, we are convinced of the importance of clearing ones self of spiritual debris. Whenever we feel anxiety or depression, we take 10 minutes and read the script out loud. By doing so we call in powerful spiritual helpers from the other side that clear away the unseen garbage and we instantly feel better. It’s so simple, some people have a hard time believing it until they try it, but it works.

You are mistaken if you assume that only the most troubled people, or drug addicts or alcoholics have spiritual garbage on board. Just like everyone gets physically dirty from daily life, everyone picks up negative energy everywhere, sometimes in the form of discarnate and dark entities. The more empathetic and sensitive you are to it, the more you’d benefit from a regular clearing.

Diet changes and regular exercise have been proven to be more effective than medications for depression. Address your spiritual, emotional, and mental sides by adding some form of regular spiritual clearing (such as our Spiritual Detox script) along with regular meditation, and you have a winning, side effect-free combination.

For even more profound improvement, we recommend also adding past life regression to find the root cause of any problem. Unfortunately, many people won’t bother because they’ve fallen for the myths and fallacies about it without doing their own research. But for those who are willing to remain objective and look deeper, this spiritual tool and others mentioned above can give awareness and relief.

If you’re feeling depressed, angry, fearful, or having a tough time quitting bad habits and addictions, our Spiritual Detox™ MP3 can help. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/spiritual-detox/

The Real Truth About Black Magic and Spells

Share Button

Believe it or not, you are dabbling in black magic if you wish someone harm. Even worse is actively invoking dark energies to assist in harming someone.

You may not call yourself a dark magician, or even know anything about spell casting or the powers you summon, but the forces (positive and negative) of the universe are at your disposal, and it’s up to you to use them wisely.

Here’s a question we received related to the issue: ”Hi, I’ve enjoyed your newsletters for years. I have a question about this latest one: Do you have an example of how demons/black magic are portrayed innocuously by spell casters? It would be helpful in knowing what kind of things to look out for. Thanks”

A significant segment of the metaphysical community seems to either not understand or want to believe the destructive and karmic implications of spell casting and using black magic.

We’ve encountered and heard of many spell casters, and those who dabble in black magic and seek out the help of demons or other entities who aren’t from the Light, refusing to acknowledge there are consequences for invoking the assistance of dark energies (realized as such or not) or worse, attempting to control others through spells/black magic.

As for examples, a search on the Internet (e.g. “use black magic,” “cast spell to get lover back,” “invoke demons to accomplish goals,” etc.) yields plenty of results, and you probably won’t find any warnings of caution like we give in this article.

A current and real life example of dark spell casting involves witches targeting President Trump: “Witches around the world are expected to cast a mass spell at the stroke of midnight Friday ‘to bind Donald Trump and all those who abet him…’ The spell is to be performed ‘on every waning crescent moon until [Trump] is removed from office,’ according to a Facebook page dedicated to the paranormal stunt, which involves setting ablaze an ‘unflattering’ picture of the 45th president…the spell begins with the words: ‘Hear me, oh spirits/ Of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air/ Heavenly hosts/ Demons of the infernal realms/ And spirits of the ancestors…I call upon you/ To bind/ Donald J. Trump/ So that he may fail utterly/ That he may do no harm/ To any human soul/ Nor any tree/ Animal/ Rock/ Stream/ or Sea,’ is to be said when lighting the orange candle.”

Amazingly, these people insist that “…the spell is not a hex or a curse…It’s a restraint, not harm…”

“Practitioners are then asked to burn Trump’s photo with the orange candle while ‘loudly’ chanting, ‘So mote it be!’ or Trump’s famed catchphrase, ‘You’re fired!’ over and over…At the end of the ritual, demonstrators are to ‘blow out orange candle, visualizing Trump blowing apart into dust or ash.’”

Even though the spell casters ask that President Trump “…may do no harm…”, the fatal mistake they make is invoking “Demons of the infernal realms…so that Donald J. Trump…may fail utterly…”, burning his picture, and visualizing him blowing apart.

They call it self-defense, but those demons they invoke are already celebrating the fact that they will have legions of new slaves on the other side, once these modern-day ”witches” die. By the way, we aren’t opposed to witches as long as they avoid utilizing dark energies and trying to control others.

Manly P. Hall, author of The Secret teachings of All Ages, states, ”black magic is performed with the aid of a demoniacal spirit, who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon…For this reason a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave…a man will barter his eternal soul for temporal power…in its various branches the black art includes nearly all forms of ceremonial magic, necromancy, witchcraft, sorcery, and vampirism…”

Selling their souls is only half of the trap they’re placing themselves in; they must also, in future existences, experience the dark energy they’re sending to others—they will know firsthand what it’s like to come under psychic attack.

Avoid trying to control others through metaphysical practices or invoking dark entities and demons, even with seemingly harmless spells, because it’s literally selling your soul. Any time you try to control another’s behavior through spells, you are dabbling in black magic. Even if you inadvertently target another person out of anger, you are incurring negative karma.

Every action, intent, and word you speak is added to your overall karmic record, and if you reject this theory and treat others poorly, we have compassion for you. Our findings show you will know for sure, once your soul crosses over, that it’s part of universal law and there’s no escape from everything you do, positive or negative.

On the other side of the aisle, religious and spiritual supporters of President Trump pray for him and our country. Light always eventually overcomes darkness, so they may be cancelling out the spell casters negative intentions and protecting President Trump.

Whatever your politics, instead of employing spells and dark forces, ask for help from guides of the Light to shine and maintain intense Light and love on the person and situation. Ask that they (and you) perceive the truth of the issue. Light and compassion leads to people seeing the truth and acting in the highest good for everyone.

Avoid the black magic and sinister spell trap but feel free to send Light and compassion to others, and work with guides of the Light for the good of all involved.

Yale Educated Psychiatrist Says Possession is Real

Share Button

After 25 years of experience in private practice and as a professor at New York Medical College and Columbia University, and evaluating hundreds of possession cases, Dr. Richard Gallagher believes possession is real. He is also the author of Demonic Foes, A Psychiatrist Investigates Demonic Possession in the Modern United States.

Atheists laugh at the suggestion of demons being real (see the comments under the above linked article). Others think evidence of demons is nonexistent and the movie The Exorcist is merely entertainment.

The overall lack of awareness of this phenomenon might be in part because many who have done enough research to understand the concept aren’t willing to go public with it out of a fear of ridicule. It’s not surprising to us; a mention of our Spiritual Detox work, which helps to remove dark energy and lost souls, sometimes provokes savage skepticism and rudeness, usually by people who know little about the subject.

Another reason the evidence for demons or lost souls isn’t obvious at first is because such entities are good at hiding and tricking people. To make matters worse, it’s difficult to discern your thoughts from those of an attached entity. This is especially so when you aren’t even aware that entities can attach to humans, or believe the myth that it’s cosmic foo-foo.

Fortunately, the number of mental health professionals who understand that possession is real, how it can interfere with someone’s life, and even create or add to mental and emotional problems is increasing.

Dr. Gallagher is against charging for exorcisms because he claims it goes against what the Bible teaches. We disagree with this. Since depossession can be dangerous, time consuming, and mentally draining, we believe practitioners should be compensated for their time just as in any other profession.

However, we also disagree with, and view as a scam, how some “psychics” charge thousands of dollars to ”clear evil spirits” they claim are the root of a client’s problems and keeping them from gaining everything they want in life. Unfortunately, these charlatans usually don’t know how to do an effective spiritual healing even if their client was possessed.

The Vatican claims possession is increasing due to a decline in Christian faith and the increase in popularity of Satanism, black magic, and “the occult.”

While we agree that Satanism and black magic do indeed open the door to nasty entities and possession, we don’t believe all occult subjects are dangerous.

Occult means hidden knowledge, and the paranormal, and includes subjects such as astrology, numerology, tarot, and others.

These practices don’t involve spells, reciting ancient verses, or calling on questionable entities to do your bidding, all of which we strongly recommend against because they can cause possession. The only spiritual assistance we ever encourage seeking is from guides and angels of the Light and, or God, through prayer, meditation, and Spiritual Detox.

Dr. Gallagher says that possession is rare and that not all people who suspect they are possessed really are. Sometimes the problem might be schizophrenia, or from being bipolar or drug-related side effects.

We accept this, but also acknowledge some people may have those problems in addition to being possessed. Also, the problems are sometimes what opened the door to possession or attachment in the first place.

Furthermore, lost souls (whose bodies died but they didn’t go to the other side or the Light) could be causing the symptoms, and we’re not sure Dr. Gallagher looks for these potential troublemakers in addition to demons. Lost souls usually aren’t as dangerous as demons, but still can cause problems, such as addictions and depression. While demonic possession is more rare, hidden spiritual hitchhikers can be affecting up to 80% of the population.

We are grateful for the fearless work of Dr. Gallagher and others, despite the skepticism of conventional medical opinion, who are bringing this problem to light and battling the hidden dark energies that cause many problems in this world.

Why It Pays To Meditate–Personal Story

Share Button

You’ve probably experienced delays, unanticipated expenses, and other nasty surprises in your travels; it’s just part of the overall adventure.

Aside from adopting a detached disposition, getting enough rest, focusing on the rewarding parts, and expecting the unexpected, there’s something else you can do to get more out of your travels, and you can apply it toward other areas of your life as well to maximize your blessings: meditation.

Scott’s Experience In Egypt

In spring of 2000 while visiting Egypt, I arrived at the Great Pyramid early in the morning only to discover the tickets to get inside the Great Pyramid and climb to the King’s Chamber were sold out for the day.

Undeterred, I decided to try again the next morning. I planned to arrive earlier, around the time the ticket booth opened.

At this point in my life I had been meditating every day for over three years (and still do) and early that morning entered meditation with the intent on knowing exactly when to leave the hotel to go to the Great Pyramid.

“Now,” I intuited after less than 40 minutes in mediation. So I quickly departed the hotel and got a taxi to the Great Pyramid.

Upon arriving, the ticket booth had just opened but they were, again, sold out due to tour groups buying up all the tickets through other channels. Cops were monitoring the booth, presumably so the ticket sellers wouldn’t sell additional, perhaps illegal tickets.

As I walked away from the booth, a British lady approached me and seeing that I wasn’t able to buy a ticket, asked me if I would like her ticket since she couldn’t make the climb due to heath reasons. I gladly accepted and thanked her. I offered to pay her for the ticket and she refused, but I insisted.

Had I not arrived at that moment, I wouldn’t have encountered the lady offering me her ticket. Meditation, in this case, seemingly helped me make my trip to Egypt much more rewarding.

It’s possible it was a ”coincidence” that my meditation coincided with successfully gaining entry to the Great Pyramid, but the longer I work with mysticism and metaphysics, the less I believe in coincidence.

By the way, the Great Pyramid looks a lot bigger in person, and the climb inside to the King’s Chamber (a story in itself—that room seems like a different dimension) is not an easy hike.

Other Benefits of Meditation

Upon entering a completely centered (meditative) state of mind, you effectively distance yourself from your fears and anxieties. There’s a distinct sense of detachment, and if you do it well enough (i.e., intense focus, in our experience), your brain releases a natural, healthy opiate.

Thus, after practice, you’ll eventually get in the habit of regular mediation and do anything to get your daily, beneficial fix. This feel good state directly combats stress and apprehension, and improves your decision-making ability.

You’ll benefit even from only 15 minutes daily, and you might even find yourself waking up a little earlier to get your fix. Clinical studies show that good meditation mirrors the benefits of sleep, so you’re losing less sleep than you think by waking up earlier to meditate.

Besides all the scientifically documented benefits, meditation helps you ”go with the flow” and avoid false starts and dead-ends. You may intend to take a certain course of action, for example, yet in meditation or afterwards you receive a clear signal to try an alternative route, which turns out to be much better than your original intended course of action.

We’ve received subtle, intuitive cues, like ideas appearing at the doorstep of consciousness, in meditation through the years. The guidance has helped improve both of our lives in countless ways, including business and personal matters.

We encourage you to practice regular meditation to reap all the wonderful benefits, including peace of mind.

The free version of our Direct Your Destiny e-package includes a Psychic / Meditative State Script to help you get the most from your meditation sessions and our Let Go MP3 audio recording utilizes brain-mind technology to effortlessly guide you into a meditative state. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/directyourdestiny/

Fate and Gender: Soul and Disembodied Spirits vs. Brain

Share Button

Neuroscientists study male and female brains to determine distinct differences but thus far arrive at no concrete conclusions.

We’re not surprised, since our findings show that, aside from biological gender, there are two distinct factors that affect how a person feels about his or her gender.

Soul Experiences Influence How One Views His or Her Gender

The soul has a lot to do with how a person views his or her gender. Putting aside the skepticism of the soul being eternal and having multiple lifetimes, consider that the theory of reincarnation has yet to be invalidated.

Our findings show that souls traverse through scores of lifetimes as male and female, and it’s common for a soul to have had far more lifetimes as one biological gender than the other.

Jackie, a 35 year-old woman whose assertiveness and drive reflect a distinct masculinity, within a potent femininity, has always found her expected female gender role a challenge. She recently experienced past life regression therapy and perceived her last dozen or more lifetimes in male bodies. We’ve seen this pattern often with gays, lesbians, and people who don’t feel comfortable with their expected gender.

Consequently, she genuinely feels like she’s a male in a female’s body, considering the body is only a temporary vehicle for the soul. It should be noted that Jackie is perfectly sane, completely lacks any psychological issues, avoids making unreasonable demands related to her situation, is exceedingly intelligent, and is an upstanding and honorable citizen. Sadly, this won’t stop some people, who don’t understand the issue, from criticizing her for being true to herself.

Although specific memory recall of past lives isn’t common, everyone carries forward feelings, fears, defenses, and energetic patterns from past lives, including sexual identity.

Jackie isn’t crazy, she’s just more aware of her spiritual heritage than most, tapping into her many past lives as a male, and simply hasn’t yet become comfortable with her female biological identity.

Additionally, on the other side, gender roles aren’t as defined because all souls there understand they can incarnate as male or female. In heaven, you’re a soul in between physical lifetimes in which you play out your dramas and lessons, and sometimes your biological gender plays an important part. So for some people who are extremely spiritually sensitive and other-dimensional (i.e., half on the other side much of the time), gender can be confusing because on the other side, they are both genders and neither.

There’s a lot of conflict generated by gender issues, and perhaps viewing the issue through a different lens may help circumstances.

Disembodied Souls Influencing Gender Sentiment

Another factor related to how a person views his or her gender, besides the often-touted “psychological issues” (and in some cases, it may be psychological) is disembodied souls influencing a person’s perception.

You’re never alone. There are always energetic forces, some positive, some dark and negative, around you. Stress, excessive alcohol or drug use, severe illness, or traumatic experiences like abuse can pry open your energetic field and make you susceptible to hitchhikers jumping on board. This means you may become host to hidden spiritual parasites, though protection prayers and Spiritual Detox sessions can help with their removal. If those energetic parasites remain on board, they can influence your thinking, especially if you’re more susceptible than average. This problem is tricky because most people don’t believe in or know about such a concept, and the harmful energies can be deeply hidden.

For example, Shirley, as a young girl, suffered an illness that required hospitalization and during that time, unknowingly took on a male disembodied soul. Shirley grew up with this entity firmly embedded in her energetic field and mistook its impressions and thoughts as her own, including the male disembodied soul’s sexual desires. The heterosexual male disembodied soul undermined Shirley’s sexual orientation because she’s highly sensitive and easily influenced. Shirley tells her family she wants to be called “James,” and identifies as the male gender.

It may be that Shirley was destined to be homosexual, this was part of the reason it was attracted to her (like attracts like), and the disembodied soul’s influence on her was part of her path. We believe such momentous life experiences, if she did in fact have a disembodied soul on board, aren’t chance.

A person identifying as a different gender makes more sense when you consider past life influences and the impact of disembodied souls on spiritually sensitive individuals. Not all people who identify as the opposite gender of their birth do so for one or both of these reasons, but we estimate that a large portion of them do.

This Will Make You Rethink The Power Of Prayer

Share Button

Relatively young Hollywood director Kevin Smith had a brush with death earlier this year; a massive heart attack almost did him in. Fortunately, he’s still with us, and the health crisis puts the spotlight on the notion of prayer.

Another Hollywood star, openly Christian Chris Pratt, star of Guardians of the Galaxy, wrote on Twitter, addressing Kevin Smith, “Praying for you. I will continue to. You inspired me with Clerks when I was a senior in HS…”

Not surprisingly, Chris Pratt received public criticism after the tweet from those who doubt the power of prayer.

One of his followers commented, “WTF is praying going to do? Wise up! He’s in hospital, science is the best place for him, diet change and exercise. Not random thoughts by you or anyone else.”

It’s hip these days to openly condemn prayer and religion. Conventional wisdom dictates that prayer is only for the naive and unsophisticated, right?

Not so fast.

The Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) possesses the largest collection of NDE’s in the world—over 4000 in more than 23 languages.

Contrary to modern scientific thought, and the opinions of contemporary sophisticates who shun anything spiritual, the massive body of empirical evidence on NDE’s suggests the power of prayer is real.

Jean K NDE 4964, had a near death experience during a severe case of bronchitis. On the other side she saw, “…tiny trails of blue, pink and green lights traveling across the expanse of darkness toward the Great Light.” She wondered what they were, and like other NDEs, instantly had the answer to her question: they were prayers from people seeking the Light. The larger white light trails moving outward from the Light were answers to prayers.

Others who have experienced a NDE have witnessed the same phenomenon. It suggests that thoughts, and especially emotions, are energetically charged and can influence other people. Asking for help from whomever you pray to can make it more powerful.

Surely you’ve experienced the circumstance where you’re in a room full of people and you feel someone’s eyes on you, and either positive or negative “vibes.” Extremes are easier to identify, like the invisible poison darts being directed at you from a secret enemy.

It’s the same way with prayer—your uplifting energy can positively affect other people, no matter the distance between you.

While we’ve always said you can’t cheat personal fate, we firmly encourage you to work with fate, such as with prayer, faith, and gratitude—three of the most powerful tools at the mystic’s disposal. You can use these spiritual tactics to make the most of your life, within the framework of your predestination.

You don’t have to be Christian or religious to benefit from the power of prayer. Prayer and other spiritual practices have existed long before Christianity.

Alternatively, curses, hexes, and negative thoughts toward another can be harmful, and the person doing them generates bad karma. Besides all actions, everything you intend and emotionalize affects your karmic balance sheet. Harshly condemn or censor someone’s spirituality on a public forum or elsewhere? You may have just set yourself up for the same experience somewhere down the line, even if it’s lifetimes from now.

Guardians of the Galaxy director, James Gunn, commented, “I’m not tweeting this to defend Chris…but for me, personally, prayer and meditation are great boons to my life and help me navigate my way through this world, and I don’t want to dissuade others who find those things useful.”

We agree. Even if you’ve sold your soul to dark forces and are too far gone in this lifetime to begin to recover, your guides and angels of the Light on the other side are always waiting for you to ask for help.

Call out to guides and angels of the Light to help you with current and future situations. Ask for help and “the next step.” Repeatedly express gratitude for the outcome you desire, and know that help is on the way. Although you can’t erase karma and personal fate, you sure can make it a lot easier to manage.

Also, by asking for help from those of the Light on the other side, you repel dark energy.

Others may laugh at you for praying or asking for help from those of the Light on the other side. But they will eventually see, even if it’s not until they get to the other side, the power in prayer.

Make regular use of protection prayers and spiritual detox scripts to clear and protect yourself from lost souls and dark energy. We offer a free Spiritual Detox script on our site, the same one we use on a regular basis. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/script/
