Numerology and Addresses

Share Button

The science of numerology supports the notion that address numbers of buildings have great symbolic meaning.

First, you must consider that the address and unit numbers of residences or offices don’t make things happen, nor do they hold direct power over anything.

The application of numerology to figure out, for example, if a possible home will enhance your life is predestined, in our view. You’re just carrying out your destiny, despite it possibly appearing as manipulation of your life circumstances (previewing the energy associated with possible residences) through number symbolism.

A soul selects a specific time to incarnate. That point of origin (birth) as indicated by a date and time reflects its qualities and its past, present, and future through the science of numerology. Numerology can be used in virtually every area of life and some people are fated to capitalize on the wisdom found through it and some aren’t.

Although calendars appear to start at arbitrary times, everything in this universe is interrelated, including systems used to track time. We say this to emphasize our conviction that little in this universe occurs by chance.

Even though unit numbers may seem to be randomly assigned, they too, like everything else in the world, are part of the cosmic universal cohesiveness.

The numbers of any residence, no matter which one you decide to inhabit, always reflect what is and what is to be.

You can’t just select a “good” unit number and then “create your reality” to satisfy all your ego-self desires, but you can use numerology to help intensify your awareness.

Key life opportunities and probabilities are hidden within the qualities of numbers. Note that numbers reflect quantity, such as party of five, and quality, as in he’s number one.

It’s good to consider the building number, but the unit number carries more importance in the case of an apartment, condominium, office, or other separate unit within a building.

Most people want stability in a home. The root numbers 4 and 6 are most fitting toward that desire, and there are other numbers that are more appropriate for other conditions.

There aren’t bad or good numbers, but there are rewarding and challenging energies associated with every number. The Number Symbolism list below can assist you in your understanding of the distinct energies behind the root numbers 1 through 9. The Number Symbolism list can also be applied toward any person, place, or thing and is best used in conjunction with our numerology software.

Use fadic addition to reduce all building, house, and unit numbers to a single digit. For example, 7736 = 7+7+3+6 = 23 = 2+3 = 5.

At this time, don’t concern yourself with translating the street name, city, or any other part of the address to numbers. Just focus on the numbers directly connected to the building, house, and unit.

The remaining parts of the address including the individual numbers of the original multiple-digit number also have relative representation, but those are topics for advanced study. Master Numbers (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, and 99) and Karmic Debt Numbers (13, 14, 16, and 19) are also more involved subjects, as is viewing the building or unit number in conjunction with the individual’s comprehensive numerology charts.

With no numerology background, it’s easy to miss the importance of number symbolism. But once you begin to pay attention to and correctly interpret the energy behind numbers, you begin to realize the incredible insight available to anyone willing to take a closer look.

How to Know What is Fated in Your Life

Share Button

Meditation is one of the best ways to escape an over-active mind, become centered, and connect with one’s spiritual self. When you are centered you are better able to intuitively know when something is for your highest good.

Other ways to become more aligned with your higher-self, thus more aware of the next best step in all areas of life include the following: spend more time alone; avoid TV; avoid excessive alcohol; avoid drugs (even occasional use clouds perception); avoid junk food/emotional eating; avoid sugar and caffeine (promotes mind-scattering and the numbing of feelings); exercise regularly; read more; get more sleep; and spend time in nature. All of these ideas will help you to detach from your ego-self.

Various forms of meditation exist, yet the commonly acknowledged purist and most efficient way involves simple intense focus. Sitting comfortably in a chair or on the floor with your back straight, eyes closed, breathing relaxed, and your focus intently on your chest plate for twenty minutes or longer will help you detach from the conscious mind and be more in touch with your subconscious mind and higher-self.

This meditative process also helps to release a natural feel-good opiate from the brain. These endorphins have been clinically proven to aid in healing.

Don’t be discouraged if it takes you weeks or even months to become proficient in meditation. With practice, you’ll get the hang of it and benefit greatly. You’ll also instinctively know what to do and when to do it. You’ll eventually stop wasting time on things that are not relevant to your highest path because they’ll seem insignificant.

Alternative forms of meditation include running, walking, swimming, reading, knitting, drawing, painting, writing, and other activities that allow you to get into a “zone.”

It’s also important to consider when you first desire something. Timing really is everything, and comprehensive predictive numerology and astrology provide invaluable insight into all areas of life.

Numerology and astrology are two ancient, empirical sciences that provide self-knowledge and peace of mind. They can also help you be aware of and prepare for challenging and rewarding times in your life, help you to further understand why you are here on earth, and to know what type of action is best taken at what time. It’s best to consult with an expert since there are many aspects to consider, but one of the more important timing indicators can be tracked easily by anyone. It’s called Moon Void of Course.

There are specific times every few days when the Moon is in between signs, or Void of Course. New ideas originated, plans made, or people met during this time usually turn out differently, if at all. Following the information in our Moon Void of Course article will help save you time and money and be much smarter about your decisions. Please keep in mind that there are many, many important astrological and numerological considerations, but the above-mentioned one is a good starting point.

“If you do not make the mistake of many and set up your will in opposition to Divine law, you will fulfill that high destiny for which you were chosen.” –George Washington

No matter how mundane or ordinary one’s life appears, every person’s path is an extraordinarily unique, and necessary part of collective universal destiny.

While those who act in opposition to “Divine” law, in our opinion, are fated to do so as part of chosen paths by their spiritual selves, and as symbolized by the patterns in their numerology and astrology charts, those who strive for more in life are also fulfilling what is to be.

Why Reincarnation and Karma are Valid Theories

Share Button

Modern science knows of only a fraction of this planet’s complete history.

Modern, Western religions’ biblical historians tell us that “creation” occurred about 13,000 years ago and that the first human (“Adam”) appeared around 11,000 years ago.

In contrast, conventional science says the Earth is around 4 billion years old and that humans (Homo sapiens) first appeared around 60,000 to 200,000 years ago.

True, there are more people hence, souls, here on the planet than ever since the start of recorded history (less than 10,000 years ago).

However, Earth has undergone many major changes over its billions of years of history. Pole shifts, floods, massive earthquakes, glaciers, and devastating impacts from cosmic debris; most visible traces of past civilizations on planet Earth have been repeatedly destroyed, pulverized, and buried out of sight.

New archaeological finds often suggest that modern science knows of only a fraction of this planet’s complete history.

50 miles south of Florida, in 1200 feet of water, the top of an eighteen-story high pyramid (sonar was used to measure it) rises up through the ocean floor.

Miners were startled to discover silver pots and dishes along with a lengthy man-made wall a mile beneath the Earth’s surface in Europe while excavating for natural resources. These items are untraceable to any known civilization in the planet’s past.

International researchers, including archaeological experts from the University of Poitiers in France, unearthed evidence of the oldest human ancestor (to date) in Chad, Africa in 2001. An approximately 6.5 million-year-old hominid skull having both old and modern qualities was discovered, blowing apart traditional theories on the history of the human race.

Considering that hypothesis or theory cannot be proven, only invalidated, it’s still possible that at some point in Earth’s history the population of intelligent beings has been as high as or even higher than it is today.

Furthermore, Earth is not the only place where souls incarnate. Astronomers tell us that there are over 100 billion galaxies throughout the universe. We live in the Milky Way Galaxy with our Sun and neighboring planets. Given that that there are billions of stars like our Sun, it’s likely there are millions, if not billions, of inhabitable planets throughout the universe.

There are also other dimensions and possibly other universes as well.

There is no shortage of souls throughout the universe and no shortage of places to incarnate.

We especially like the tenants of reincarnation because they disallow the concepts of blame and victimization and nobody “gets away” with anything. You don’t have to believe in reincarnation, but if we all acted as if it was true our world would be a better place.

“Since the beginning of recorded time, history has been written by the ‘winners’ (those societies and belief systems that conquered and survived). Despite an obvious bias in this accounting method, we still measure the ‘historical accuracy’ of a given concept by examining how well it concurs with our existing historical record. Many historians now believe (as I do) that in gauging the historical accuracy of a given concept, we should first ask ourselves a far deeper question: How historically accurate is history itself?” –Dan Brown

Fate and Free Will: Wisdom Only Deletes Some Karma

Share Button

A book’s messages don’t have to be metaphysically valid for the book to be on best-seller lists. Some modern best-selling metaphysical books are filled
with spiritual truth and some are virtually void of it.

Today’s popular New Age communications commonly contain heaps of pure inspiration with very low doses of ancient wisdom, perhaps due to our society’s penchant for seeking quick-fixes.

Let’s face it, “consciously create what you want, the life of your dreams, now!” inspires a lot more book sales than, “you can only consciously create that which is aligned with your higher-self’s earthly plan.”

Many New Age authors and publishers realize that including the cold, hard realities of life on Earth (karma, dharma, challenging fate, etc.) will hinder book sales.

Therefore, the current trend is to market books full of motivational messages such as “you can do it!” “abundance is your birthright,” and “rid yourself of your disease easily!” while excluding the spiritual facts of life.

Yes, wisdom can allow you to avoid some karma, but to say that you can erase any type of karma your heart desires is like saying you can turn winter into spring. Spring will arrive whether you “consciously create” it or not.

However, if an undesirable circumstance or event is part of fate, no amount of wisdom will blank it out. You can’t change the dead of winter into summer no matter how much you pay your guru.

Nonetheless, if you’re in a position to avoid exercising your free will in a particular way, wisdom can erase limited amounts of karma.

For instance, a parent exerts her free will to hug her children instead of mentally abusing them, which feels more natural for that parent to do. In this case, that parent has just taken the high road and told the universe that she desires to avoid that particular karmic arrangement (that her kids have most likely
agreed to before incarnating).

A mystic may say that even the effort by the parent to be more loving instead of abusive is the karma of all involved in the situation. Dharma is played out, karma is balanced, and everyone benefits (spiritually speaking).

More importantly, souls who choose (before incarnating) to be on the receiving end of abuse are going to experience it whether a parent dishes it out or not. A relative, sibling, friend of the family, neighborhood bully, classmate, or some other person will do his part to help fulfill fate.

Again, all the wisdom in the world won’t negate the major karmic dates with destiny that our souls choose before incarnating. A key objective of incarnating is spiritual growth and in order to do that, there must be challenge. Challenge is also necessary so that the more enjoyable life circumstances can be recognized and appreciated.

We like the phrase “wisdom deletes karma,” but we think it’s more accurately said this way: “Wisdom deletes some karma and direct life experience wipes out and balances the majority of karma.”

Fate is fate and you can’t dodge it just because you find select circumstances distasteful.

On the brighter side, you have free will to react to karma and make the most of your life within the bounds of your fate.

Movie Review – What the Bleep – Enlightening But Short on Spiritual Truths

Share Button

Overall, we enjoyed the movie “What the Bleep….” Some parts of it we responded with, “Well said!” Other parts, “You forgot some ideas!” And still others, “What the #%*$!”

Some of the movie’s key points that we appreciated the most are as follows: blame and victimization are of no use; self-understanding and taking full responsibility for personal circumstances and behavior is integral to self-actualization; everyone has the power to influence his/her physical, emotional, and mental health through thoughts and feelings; it’s been clinically proven that stress, for example, contributes to illness (not that clinical proof is necessary to acknowledge the effects of stress or positive thinking/feeling); self-actualization relies on the ability to detach from and leave behind addictions, expectations, dramas, and desires of all kinds (all part of the ego-self) so that one can more closely align oneself with the spiritual self.

We especially enjoyed Ramtha’s commentary about romance and the pursuit of romance being a personal addiction for many people.

However, it’s interesting that the financier of “What the Bleep…” is a Buddhist and that there was no mention of reincarnation in this spiritually oriented film. Reincarnation is one of the most important spiritual concepts (in Buddhism especially) and it is intimately tied to free will, karma (what goes around comes around), dharma (what one must do in this life), and fate (predetermined circumstances and events).

One of the experts featured in the movie is Dr Joe Dispenza (a chiropractor), who has authored several scientific articles on the close relationship between brain chemistry, neurophysiology and biology, and their roles in physical health. He has a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr Dispenza says “I wake up in the morning, and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen…When I create my day, and out of nowhere, little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process and the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net, in my brain, that I accept that that’s possible. So if we’re consciously designing our destiny, if we’re consciously, from a spiritual standpoint, throwing in what the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life, because reality equals life.”

While we admire many of the movie’s messages and agree with the idea that “Human beings have the potential to shape their own experience for better or worse…” we strongly question the message that “…unlimited possibilities are truly within our grasp (in this lifetime).” This implies that a person can erase karmic circumstances in his/her life and live in a never-ending utopia, fulfilling all ego-self desires and skipping the important, tough lessons in life. To be perfectly candid, our cosmic fu-fu detectors are sounding on high while digesting that last bit.

Jeffery B. Satinover M.D. (a former practicing psychiatrist) is also featured in the movie. He has completed a master’s degree as a member of the Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics group and Yale’s newly-established W. H. Keck Foundation Center for Quantum Information Physics.

In his book “Reflections of the Nature of God,” he says The worldview that modern science has depended on, for the most part, is that if you have 100 percent knowledge of an initial condition, then all subsequent conditions are known as well. If this were true, there would be no such thing as free will, whether human or divine. God himself would be a merely passive observer who not only doesn’t but couldn’t have an effect on the world. And human beings couldn’t have an effect either, because if all physical events are in effect, laid out ahead of time, like a complex play in billiards, then nothing one does can alter the outcome. It’s all completely determined.”

Its great how he suggests that we free will exists, but our position is that he’s too haphazardly blending physical science and spirituality; they are two distinct, separate domains.

We feel Dr Satinover also misunderstands the role of free will while incarnated and how much we have before we incarnate. He also seems to reject the philosophy that fated events are necessary in order to learn specific lessons.

For instance, a person can’t “create” a wonderfully harmonious relationship with his/her father if one of that person’s karmic lessons (that they chose while in spirit form) is to endure an abusive relationship with that parent.

He goes on to say, “This is the fundamental premise of the modern worldview. However, it turns out and what modern physics has now demonstrated is, that’s not true. That actually, at the most fundamental level, all the most important physical processes are, in part, determined by ‘factors’ that have no detectable presence in the physical world. A range of possible outcomes are determined mechanically, but untold numbers of decisions are being made by ‘something’ that from among these possibilities selects every actual outcome…”

He’s alluding to the idea of a higher power, or God and the importance of its influence and we applaud this, but he again carelessly mixes physical science with spirituality. Doing so is like saying that because a circumstance is so in a dream state, that we should expect it to be the same way in waking hours.

Different dimensions have different sets of laws, just as we have mostly probabilities while incarnated on earth and more possibilities while in spirit form planning our next physical existence.

We shape and contribute to those same possibilities every day. We believe that we design our next lifetimes by every thought, intent, and action in this life (and previous ones), yet we also feel that it’s impossible to manifest what one wants (on a personality level) now, in this life, if those desires don’t match one’s current life blueprint.

Both Dr Dispenza and Dr Satinover in “What the Bleep…” imply that the universe is a huge quantum sea of possibilities and that since this is the case that we should be able to create that which we want and leave the rest behind.

This is akin to a drunk believing s/he can manifest absolute sobriety for the night an hour after s/he downs five stiff drinks; it’s too late to “create” something (instant sobriety) after an alternative is set in motion/secured (intoxication).

Most well-respected quantum physicists today (those with PhD’s in quantum physics) along with the founding fathers of quantum physics,who also believed themselves to be mystics (including Erwin Schrodinger, Max Planck, and Niels Bohr), firmly held that it’s erroneous to group physics and mysticism in the same dimension. Planck said that trying to merge physics and mysticism “makes no sense at all,” since spirituality is associated with the source of everything on a soul level and quantum physics relates to the most infinitesimal level of the physical world of matter and energy.

Good spiritual teachers acknowledge that there’s a difference between the ego-self and the spiritual self. The ego-self wants to satisfy all of its earthly desires. The spiritual self is here to learn and grow. Meanwhile, most everyone wants “more” out of life on a personality level. Often, ego-self demands (“perfect love,” “better family relations,” “more money,” etc.) clash with “what is.” Said differently, you can’t always get what you want.

Please understand, we agree that it’s possible to influence our realities and even create as we wish to a certain extent while incarnated (if it’s within the boundaries of personal destiny), but we feel it’s impossible to skip difficult karma. In other words, you can’t cheat fate and you can’t just erase personal challenges because you don’t like them.

On the one hand, the experts in the movie “What the Bleep…” emphasize the idea that everybody is fully able to create their own realities to match the desires of their personalities.

At the same time, one of the more important (and we feel more truthful) messages of the film is about the idea that the ultimate spiritual goal is to leave behind/detach from personal addictions of all kinds, expectations, dramas and desires (the ego-self) so that one’s personality can more closely meld with the spiritual self.

That’s quite a contrast in philosophies! It appears as if the film is promoting the message, “dump the tough lessons and karma and create what you want now in this life, it’s yours!” while saying simultaneously, “free yourself from your desires!” The former is the antithesis of spirituality and the latter is a sacred ancient spiritual concept.

In brief, the movie “What the Bleep…” addresses some key aspects of quantum physics (while ignoring opposing quantum theories such as“hidden variables”) and some important spiritual ideas (while ignoring the concepts of karma, dharma, reincarnation,and fate), and blends them together in a feel-good mixture of cosmic truth and New Age fu-fu. The connection between the provided metaphysical concepts and select laws of quantum physics is questionable at best.

Aside from a few spiritual fallacies and mixed messages in “What the Bleep…,” we really liked it. In striving for spiritual awareness, we must think far outside conventional earthly thinking in order to begin to grasp universal truths. This film is a big step in the right direction.

Numerology and the Number 13

Share Button

The number 13 has little to do with “bad luck,” despite the U.S. Navy, supposedly, avoiding launching ships on Friday the 13th and many Americans viewing the 13th and anything related to the number 13 as negative.

The association may be due to Jacques de Molay, the first Grand Master of the Knights Templar, being burned at the stake in 1314 on a Friday the 13th after a trial overseen by the King of France and Pope Clement V.

The number 13 has a bad rap largely due to its unusual qualities. In particular, 13 represents “all or nothing” through transformation pertaining to degeneration or regeneration.

Symbolic death and rebirth is strongly associated to 13. An example of the representative power of the number 13 is transitioning from modest means to vast wealth.

13 is considered a “Karmic Debt Number,” as are the numbers 14, 16, and 19. These numbers involve more challenging karma than other numbers.

The number 13 in key positions in a person’s numerology charts frequently symbolizes, depending upon the rest of the charts’ contents, the following energies: an irresponsible, lazy, immature, idle, trivial, extravagant disposition; lack of seriousness, or the opposite (one extreme or the other); rigidity; inefficiency; restriction; low vitality, etc.

There is also the high side of 13, so keep in mind that the above qualities are only part of the picture.

Otherwise, in matters of love, the number 13 involving time cycles is solid and very often exceedingly fruitful.

In short, the number 13 isn’t any more unlucky than any other number. There exist negative and positive, and balanced, over-balanced, and under-balanced qualities for every number. Bad luck associated with Friday the 13th is just a misconception, fueled by fear and subjective viewpoints.

Twin Flame Soul Mate: More Myth Than Reality

Share Button

Many of us want to find our “soul mate,” a term often used to imply that there is one perfect partner for each individual. Metaphysically defined, a soul mate is simply someone you have known in a prior existence. Each person may have hundreds or even thousands of soul mates.

Edgar Cayce, one of the most successful psychics and medical intuitives ever in the United States, stated many times that there isn’t just one person out there who is perfect for you. He expressed in his readings that there are many love relationship possibilities for each person.

When you meet a soul mate, you may feel like you know the person but you can’t quite place from where. Your souls knew each other in a different time and place, although your present personalities usually don’t remember the details. You may have been lovers, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances, coworkers, or even enemies. You may instantly like or even love the person, or you may instantly dislike him or her.

Soul mate relationships that develop into love relationships take many different forms, depending on the karmic reasons the couple has reunited again. The present life interaction also depends on how much of their own baggage they’ve worked through, how much they take responsibility for their behavior and their lives, and how aware and honest they are with themselves and others.

There is always a reason for two souls reuniting. It may be due to unfinished business, such as one owing the other in some important way. It may be in the form of a project they are to complete together, such as the birth of and caring for a child. Sometimes it’s a test, to see if they can interact without hurting each other.

Some souls reunite simply for the purpose of enjoying each other again and have little or no negative karma to work through. They may have earned this relationship of harmony through many lifetimes of working through their conflicts.

These are the kind of relationships sometimes portrayed in romance novels. Many of us fantasize about having these kinds of relationships, where there’s little conflict and an excess of love, admiration, acceptance, and respect. Few of us, unfortunately, experience them.

A twin flame or soul has been defined as a soul who was created at the same time as you and who may be your “other half.” Based on our research we feel this definition of twin souls is the result of earthbound thinking. We don’t “pair off” with only one partner in the spirit world. Pairing off here on Earth and hoping for a lifetime relationship with the same partner often seems motivated by a fear of being alone and/or a fear of abandonment.

A different definition of a twin soul could be a soul mate with which you have shared many lifetimes and, through those experiences, perfected the relationship. This soul is one of the most ideal soul mates for you—assuming you both get your current personalities and hang-ups out of the way.

In his book Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates, Kevin J. Todeschi suggests yet another definition: “The primary distinction between soul mates and twin souls is that soul mates are brought together as a means of assisting both people in soul growth and twin souls often come together in an effort to achieve a joint task or a united work.”

Cayce also indicated that twin souls are not always romantically involved and that there is more than one twin soul for each person.

Hence, while most people associate a soul mate with romance, the main purpose has to do with personal growth, often through trials and challenges. In fact, many of our clients who have been in soul mate relationships say they are hesitant to get into another one, yet they realize that they’re here on Earth primarily to learn, not just to get what feels good. Additional information about soul mates and twin flames can be found here.

How do you know you’ve found a relationship soul mate? Sometimes it involves intense feelings from the very start, other times it’s not so obvious. Are you sexually compatible? Is there lots of passion in your relationship? What about trust and mutual respect? Do you share the same views about love and relationships? It’s possible to determine how compatible you are with another person through numerology, astrology, handwriting analysis, and past life regression.

Free Will & Manifestation – How Karma, Fate and Predestination Block Your Efforts

Share Button

Prior to years of comprehensive study and constant objective empirical research through ancient metaphysical delineation and predictive sciences (since 1992 involving the numerology and astrology charts of over 20,000 different people), we too mistakenly believed we could create anything our ego-selves desired.

Our studies and research allow us to conclude that an extremely high percentage of everyone’s major life circumstances and particulars are unavoidably etched in the rock of fate.

We consistently and accurately outline key conditions and experiences in anyone’s future (provided we have all birth data) including “gurus” who claim they are able to “consciously create” 100% of their realities, matching their conscious demands, as they live their lives.

Once you have witnessed, as we have, the continual recurrence of patterns in the numerology and astrology charts completely representing situations in peoples’ lives, you will stop rejecting the idea of fate.

An ideal love life, unlimited financial abundance, perfect health, constantly harmonious personal relationships and more would be nice, but we are now entirely certain that it “ain’t gonna happen” if it’s not part of the path that your soul mapped out before you incarnated.

For example, despite what you might see on TV about finding a compatible romantic partner, like the best-selling author promoting her book about finding the perfect husband in less than a year (“I did it and you can too!”), everyone’s karma is different and what works for one person (because it fits his/her karmic blueprint) may fail for the next (being outside of his/her earthly plan).

“Learn valuable lessons about commitment and betrayal by experiencing a difficult spouse? Forget it! Instead, I’ll create the perfect relationship!” “Endure a period of financial limitations to learn about financial acumen? Nah, I’ll create infinite abundance now and forever live the high life!”

Unfortunately (for the ego-self), the universe doesn’t work that way. Dodging your fate isn’t an option.

But let’s not forget free will. You have free will to take the right action at the right time, allow your earthly personality to play its role in manifesting your destiny (including your ego-self desires that align with it), react to your life circumstances, and improve and influence your situation to the best of your ability within the confines of your fate.

Along these lines, free will also enables everyone to help shape their future lives through every thought, intent, and action in their present lives.

If you want an ideal as possible relationship, you can exercise your free will and do things to prepare for this. However, we believe that even doing what feels right feels right because it’s part of your pre-destined path. You could do something that isn’t part of your earthly plan, such as drop out of society, move to the wilderness and live off the land, but you probably wouldn’t because it doesn’t feel right for you to do.

Perhaps most importantly, it would be nice if we could all have “perfect love,” but this would miss the objective of the majority of our relationships on earth: personal growth. A predetermined degree of challenge is necessary in order to learn the lessons for which we incarnate.

As far as releasing your love karma through spiritual exercises, this sounds like wishful, spiritual woo-woo thinking to us.

The only exercise we know of to do this is the exercise of experiencing what you need to experience in real life. In other words, forget the notion of being able to cheat fate, despite the fact that most “love experts” suggest otherwise. We caution you to be skeptical of spiritual solutions that appear to be quick fixes.

The good news is that you can ease, but not evade, your karma by acceptance, forgiveness, and unconditional love. For instance, you can’t erase the lifelong disharmony between you and your siblings, but you can lighten the load by how you view and react to it.

Although not always easy, the best methods toward personal and spiritual growth include the following: achieve self-awareness so that you understand your highest path; take the right action at the right time to manifest your destiny; embrace all personal challenges including all difficult people as a necessary part of the growth process; forgive yourself and all others; love yourself and all others unconditionally; live your life knowing that all energy you put out will eventually come back to you; and know that you can’t always get what you want, but that every experience serves a valuable purpose.

Twins Expose Major Flaws of Modern Astrology

Share Button

Why is it that twins who have almost identical astrology charts can be so different, or that people born within a few minutes of each other in the same area (also having almost identical basic charts) appear to be such different souls?

The last two words of the above paragraph hold the key: Every person has a unique soul.

Astrology is only one way to outline the uniqueness of personality. Unfortunately, modern, psychologically-based Western astrology is far less exact than other forms of personality analysis in accurately discerning differences between twins and people who were born within a few minutes of each other in the same area.

This is one of the newer types of astrology (also known as “pop astrology”) and has been around for about 100 years. It’s the form most people are familiar with since it’s the basis of the vast majority of mainstream astrology books, web sites, magazine articles, and newspaper horoscopes.

In contrast, ancient forms of astrology (such as Egyptian, Hindu, Greek, and Arabic) offer far more accuracy than modern astrology in most ways, yet we haven’t found them to be the best means to clearly outline differences between twins and those born in the same city at about the same time.

There’s a popular theory that twins divide up their horoscope charts and that one chooses some of the energy and the other twin acts out the rest of the energy symbolized by the charts. There could be some validity to this idea, but as identical twins, we don’t feel there is much. While we find modern astrology useful, the lack of significant astrological differences in the charts of those born within minutes of each other in the same general location represents a significant flaw of the science.

Fortunately, there are much more accurate metaphysical delineation and predictive tools available; comprehensive numerology and handwriting analysis have proven to be very accurate, even in delineating differences between twins.

Comprehensive numerology as a character delineation and predictive tool, and handwriting analysis as a means to discern subconscious and conscious personality are invaluable for the following: predicting the probabilities and likelihoods of love, family, career and money issues; identification of personality strengths and challenges; identifying romantic or workplace compatibility; identifying periods of heightened spiritual growth; event analysis; political strategy and probabilities; financial trend forecasting; business negotiations and acquisitions; legal issues; investigations; duration potential involving events and partnerships; career guidance; child development; and any other area of life involving personality, compatibility or predictive analysis.

Although modern psychologically-based western astrology is a useful tool for generalized personality and timing analysis, it is best used in conjunction with other methods to assure a reasonable level of precision.

Love & Relationships From a Spiritual Viewpoint – 3 Reasons People Get Into Bad Relationships

Share Button

It’s very common for people to be inexplicably drawn into bad relationships. Why does this happen?

Life on earth is all about personal lessons. While relationships may not always give us what we want, they always offer potential for spiritual growth. The main reason you are drawn to those who may not be good for you is karma; you have unfinished business or lessons to experience together.

We are drawn to people in this life in part because of our connections with them from past lives.

Another reason may be that you have come together for a higher purpose such as a child or work that will affect others. Sometimes we are attracted to people because of our current life programming, much of which is rooted in early life experiences. Of course, as much as we have researched past life regression and karma, we realize that even our childhood experiences are likely to be karmic.

Also, some compare their relationships with the ideal relationship, something most of us want. When this is done, it’s easy to find flaws.

Other reasons for being drawn to difficult relationships include the following: a test to let go, heal, and move on; fear of being alone; an important, unique lesson; and sometimes it’s a signal that the love is genuine, but it may not be sensible.

Needless to say, if your partner is detrimental to your physical, emotional, or mental well-being, it’s time to move on.

Despite challenges, if two people feel a relationship is worth continuing, and they still feel drawn to each other, they may have a soul contract to fulfill.
