Modern Astrology Folly, part II

Astrologers enamored with modern methods claim that astrology must “…promote human freedom…” and that ancient astrology “…is not aligned with modern times…”

Instead, our findings tell us this: modern astrology’s psycho-speak, trippy subjectivity and softened-up-reality-to-the-point-of-distortion drives you to cloud and misjudge reality and tells you what you want to hear. The escapist and fly-in-the-face-of-truth inspirational babble of modern astrology makes it easier to sell books and drawn-out counseling sessions through its exclusive application. This is by design.

Ancient astrology calls it like it is, pointing out the hard, cold realities of life and giving you infinitely more clarity.

There’s nothing “limiting” about ancient methods involving astrology (and numerology) other than helping you limit delusional thinking.

The revered astrologers and number mystics of days of old wouldn’t be amused if they learned what has become of these ancient esoteric sciences.

There is no room for political correctness in delineation and prediction, and you have to wonder about those who promote such programs. Distorting the foundation of a body of science (based on empirical observation) to make it sexier, more appealing to the masses, and adhere to a sales target and philosophical agenda is a crime against those who worked so hard to develop the practices since the dawn of humanity. This tragedy has been occurring during the last 100 years or so. The truth will eventually come out, and we are happy to be a part of the process.

Although, thankfully, the world is moving towards equal rights for all, not everyone is born with the same levels of ability and the same amount of karmic reward in life. Your soul (not your personality in this life) may have chosen steep adversity in any number of life situations, yet being promised a magic solution, an imaginary escape through feel-good astrological poetry, is preposterous and snake-oil marketing at its worst.

Most Core Life Experiences Are Fated

The Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” notes “…there’s still time to change the road you’re on…” and there is in some cases (which is likely fated too in our view), but remember our theory that at least 75% of all life circumstances-the main stuff, the core events of your life-are predestined.

Some have asked if it’s possible to use that remaining 25% to create whatever you want, no matter what, and if it would alter the rest of your personal fate. While we do believe it’s possible to “create” within the framework of your fate, we’ve noticed through empirical research that no one, no matter how aware or spiritual they are, can change the major conditions that are fated (and predictable) in their life. You certainly have free will, but it will not allow you to sidestep destined experiences. “Creating reality with your thoughts” only goes so far.

Outrageous Claims by New Age Marketers

We understand that our convictions contrast with some of the “experts” on the best-seller lists, such as those who claim “anything is possible.” Without having actually done the intuitive/psychic work and, or work involving comprehensive charting with astrology and numerology to test the “anything is possible” belief–we’ve found no other ways to properly examine the idea that immutable life circumstances exist for everyone-you must ask yourself how any ethical person in their right mind can make such wild claims as “infinite blessings are available to you–all you have to do is read my book, pay for my seminar,…” et al.

By declaring that the law of attraction alone was responsible for creating something, yet not having thoroughly examined if that something was already fated to happen, you must ask yourself, how can the author of The Secret legitimately make such claims? What about the many people who have bought the book or seen the movie who gave it their all in the context of The Secret guidance, but couldn’t manifest what they wanted? What is the author’s response to those people, besides holding them accountable, e.g., not “believing” enough, or ignoring an additional angle to The Secret that they must investigate for another $19.95?

Trap of Using Modern Methods Exclusively

Astrologers who move beyond modern methods eventually discover that a huge amount of information, past, present, and future, about your life can be seen in the comprehensive charts.

Those who don’t move beyond modern methods and philosophies speak of fate and destiny as two different concepts: “Destiny is just potential and fate is what happens if you don’t make an effort to reach your destiny.” In this line of thinking, the term destiny is made inspirational and fate is designated as something to be avoided at all costs. This is false and misleading, of course, and it’s the type of pull-the-wool-over-your-eyes, creative language that steers you away from truth.

Personal Adversity is Necessary for Growth

Such an approach inherently denies the necessity (spiritually speaking) and unavoidability of varying degrees of personal adversity. Destiny and fate show up in the comprehensive charts as the same thing, we’ve found, and we believe anyone who tells you otherwise may mean well, but ultimately is merely reading poetry to you instead helping you to constructively face and deal with the actualities of life through constructive analysis of your charts.

Modern Astrology Folly

Predictive modern astrology and numerology commonly include transits (e.g., transiting Saturn in Virgo as we type this), secondary progressions, Universal Year (2009), solar return charts, and other basic cyclical timing methods that, by themselves, limit respectable levels of accuracy unless you have consistently strong psychic ability and use the esoteric sciences as touchstones only.

We’ve witnessed it over and over: Modern-method-favoring astrologers shroud their avoidance of predicting personal fate in oh-so-creative ballads, even pinning fate against free will (“Free will prevails if you have the courage to defeat fate”) to try and gloss over the truth that predestination exists.

It’s simple, we’ve found: free will exists, but you only have so much of it while incarnated on Earth.

Your soul makes certain choices in spirit form before you incarnate so that you must face key life circumstances that will enable you to grow spiritually.

Personal Adversity Exists

We believe this because our sophisticated systems of checks and balances involving innumerable cyclical timing methods, along with intuitive and past life regression work, clearly indicate that everyone incarnates with unique destined (and unchangeable), measurable levels of personal adversity.

Our credentials are the result of empirical research involving our work (clients, public figures, and people of all walks of life and real-world concerns) and we state our findings as theories; we (and anyone else) are unable to disprove them.

It’s Possible to Assess Life Circumstances

We’ve found it is possible to assess significant wealth, fame, abundant romantic life (and other areas of life), the opposite of all three, or anywhere in-between.

Modern Astrology Approach Example

Advising a client based on only one indicator, such as natal Mercury conjunct your Midheaven, is typical of the modern-astrological-method-based astrologer. They’ll say, “Mercury is conjunct the Midheaven, so that means livelihood involving communication, but it’s purely up to you if you’ll become an hourly employee or a $50,000 per speech famous orator.” They say this because exclusive reliance on overly-simplistic and subjective modern astrological methods doesn’t permit them to look more deeply into a person’s fate.

Then there are the modern astrologers who say things such as, “Let’s look at this from an ancient astrology perspective: Your Jupiter is very well-placed. Therefore, you are ‘royal’ and should enjoy high status and will win most of your life battles…” This type of surface and erroneous approach, misrepresenting the ancient science of astrology, would be laughable if it weren’t so destructive.

The Myth of “100% Free Will”

Relying exclusively on surface astrological and numerological methods could easily allow you to embrace the mistaken notion of having “complete free will (after incarnating).”

Worse, if you have the bad fortune of being advised by someone who embraces new and innovative modern astrological methods (read: destructively creative nonsense) and they use only these in their practice, you could easily, and incorrectly assume that you have 100% free will and nothing is destined. Your astrologer not being able to interpret personal fate doesn’t equate to you having “100% free will.”

We’ll be clear: no amount of “coming into your true path in life” will allow you, for example, to “create infinite abundance” if your personal financial fate dictates only modest finances.

Yes, it’s true, we’ve found that the majority on this planet are fated to live within modest to ordinary financial means, relative to their native society.

Surely you would rather have us truthfully state our findings instead of selling you snake oil? But don’t worry, our findings also indicate that a lot of the rewarding stuff in your life is destined too.

The Important Choices You Make Are Fated

The modern astrologers talk about “facing crossroads,” and deny that important “choices” a person makes in their life are also part of personal fate. If, for example, you like your job and employer a lot and they offer you a major promotion and more money with a relocation to New England from the Midwest, this isn’t “facing crossroads” as if you’re somehow redefining your personal fate by “choosing which way to go” since your choice is destined too. Even the tougher “choices” are predetermined, we’ve found.

How do we arrive at this conclusion? We see it over and over through our work; the specific “choices” people select ultimately involve circumstances down the road that show up in their comprehensive numerology and astrology charts or an intuitive reading that wouldn’t have been connected to the other “choice.”

Take it in stride when faced with a choice in life. The more you accept that you will make the right choice at the right time, the easier the process will be. Also accept that tough bouts of indecision, for example, are fated too. If everything in your life were a breeze, you wouldn’t evolve. Our findings tell us that if you follow such advice, you will be fulfilling your personal fate along with using your free will.

The Advantage of Accepting Predestination

Why are we so passionate about helping people understand personal fate and karma? Many may find the concepts unappealing at first, but once you comprehend the nature of life clearly, you’ll avoid wandering aimlessly down the foggy “anything is possible” New Age path and instead open up to aligning yourself with your unique life purpose. Also, besides knowing when to capitalize on your good karma (through comprehensive astrology and numerology or intuitive readings), you’ll be better prepared for future challenges to make the most of your life.

Personal Adversity Will Always Exist

Leave a reply

Unique levels of unavoidable personal adversity exist for everyone and they are discernible in comprehensive numerology and astrology charts.

This finding of ours greatly clashes with modern, New Age spirituality.

As most anyone will admit, life can be unpleasant at times, but you can’t just wave a magic wand, call on the “Lords of Karma,” or read a best-selling, inspirational, spiritual book and make the distasteful parts of life (i.e., your challenging personal karma) disappear. You must face your own personal challenges squarely because that is how you attain soul growth and balance your spiritual debts.

Wishful Thinking

There exists a “you can be anything you want to be–just believe you can” attitude that permeates not only New Age doctrine, but most of Western society. It’s easy to wholeheartedly embrace this unless you’ve seen the recurring comprehensive numerology and astrology patterns linked to real life circumstances, clearly indicating that no one can be or have anything they want, unless that desire fits within their personal fate.

Whether you believe it or not, your life is intimately connected to the cyclical nature of life, based on your moment and location of birth, along with your other birth data. We’ve found that at least 75% of the main circumstances and events in everyone’s (even those who don’t believe in destiny or karma) lives are predestined: what was, is, and what will be is symbolized by the hidden rhythms and predictable cycles that allow for empirical scientific assessment and projection.

We Fell Into The Same Trap

Before knowing any better in the late 1980s, we fell into the “if you believe, you can achieve anything” trap. Today, we firmly believe (after countless hours of empirical research) in the “if you believe, you can achieve–if it fits within your destined path” concept.

Not being able to have or become everything you want can be difficult to accept. What’s the best way to deal with dreams that may be out of your reach? Aside from acceptance, the better you know yourself the more your desires will be aligned with your karmic blueprint and personal fate, and the more likely you will be to achieve your goals.

Know Thyself

Knowing yourself goes far beyond the limits of your academic testing scores, musical and culinary tastes, or physical abilities. Getting to know your true self also involves your subconscious mind (as seen through handwriting analysis, for example), along with your spiritual heritage which includes your karma and fate, as sought, for example through meditation and, or past life regression.

Interpreting Fate

There exist New Age writers today who claim that some people have incarnated this time around with minimal karma, and therefore their fate can’t really be interpreted. We disagree and believe it’s a matter of going deeper, beyond modern methods, to uncover the hidden dynamics of personal destiny. Everyone’s life matters and everyone has an important mission or missions in life, even if it may seem insignificant on the surface, such as offering endless unconditional love to family and friends, for instance.

We have yet to find anyone completely or even mostly free of any of the rough stuff in life. Although someone might have less severe negative karma than average, their fate can still be interpreted.

Fate Seen In The Comprehensive Charts

Employing a complex enough system of checks and balances, you see extremes of destined circumstances and everything in between: affluence, poverty; wellness, disease; unconditional acceptance, intolerance; togetherness, solitude; recognition and fame, obscurity, and much more. By the way, we’ve found that it’s frequently easier to spot challenges rather than rewards in the charts.

There Are Only Two Ways to Reach an Honest Conclusion About Personal Fate

Predestination is witnessed through the objective viewing of the patterns in the comprehensive numerology and astrology charts and past lives of many people, over many years and, as we say above, finding recurring associations between those patterns and life circumstances. We know of no other way to effectively conclude that predestination exists, aside from using strong psychic abilities to consistently predict future life events.

Exclusive Usage of Modern Methods Will Fail You

By the way, if an astrologer tells you they rely exclusively on transit, and or progressed charts for prediction, we recommend you get a second opinion (unless they are consistently very psychic and use some basic cycles as touchstones only). Those types of (surface) indicators are best used for contributing to an existing, extensive analysis involving multiple layers of indicators, just as the “Happy Birthday!” written in icing on a cake is only to top it off; it isn’t the whole cake by any means.

How do we reach this conclusion, you ask? We’ve determined, through an enormous amount of trial and error over many years, that exclusive usage of such methods (and many other modern methods) for outlining personal fate (e.g., prediction) results in very low accuracy levels.

“Experts” Who Deny The Concept of Personal Fate

It’s amazing that so much credit is thoughtlessly given to those who deny the concept of personal fate, those who don’t even bother to test their belief through comparing the symbolism of cyclical timing methods to real life events and, or using psychic research to outline fated future circumstances.

Would you respect an “expert” who denies the existence of tsunamis, never having left the confines of his home state of South Dakota? Or an “expert” who denies the existence of emotional pain due to romantic troubles who has never had a relationship? Of course not.

New Age Best Selling Authors-Poets

It’s common in today’s New Age marketplace to find former journalists, doctors, or psychiatrists (and others who use the instant credibility of their former professions to boost their New Age careers) who very creatively address the hot topic of “influencing or completely altering the divine order of life” (erasing personal fate without having to directly balance it).

They say, “Can it be done?” Perhaps they’re asking the question to themselves because they haven’t done any work involving the outlining or prediction of personal fate. You’ll find hundreds of pages in one or more of their books hopping, skipping, bouncing, and twirling around the topic, ultimately denying that personal fate and karma exist (and denying that personal adversity is unavoidable), building infinite hope made of a house of cards and praying you don’t notice that they base their views purely on creative subjectivity, bloated optimism, and a desire for a best-seller; no doubt they’ll say whatever it takes to keep you on the hook, knowing you might ditch them if they drop the “heart-centered” (i.e., pretense), folk-singing-like prose and get too “fatalistic.” Very few of them ever answer the question directly at all.

To offer only conjecture along with statements such as “Tons in life happens that seems to go against the laws of nature,” makes a “spiritual” writer ultimately appear more like a New Age wordsmith, in our view. But if you like to read that sort of thing, and prefer to view spirituality as an escape rather than a means of self discovery, go right ahead. Lots of people like poetry and we love inspiration too, but only if it’s rooted in spiritual truths.

Cold, Hard, Realities of Life

To some, that might seem too dark and pessimistic. After all, with all the stress and demands in life who wants to face the cold, hard truth of personal adversity, fate, and karma? The purpose is about taking complete responsibility for your life, knowing that you have free will to prepare for challenges and capitalize on more rewarding moments, and accepting the perfectly equitable nature of this universe, which also encourages treating others as you would like to be treated.

We predict that one day these concepts will be universally taught, understood, accepted, and practiced from a young age. Until then, the cycle of karma continues.

The Trivialization of Metaphysics Trap

Avoid this trap at all costs: Denying the fact that innate challenges and harsh realities of life exist in various and unique forms for everyone, many of which are unalterable, and instead exclusively embracing frivolous renderings of astrology, number mysticism, palmistry or other ancient disciplines that include warped philosophies which promise you the moon.

This course of action is ultimately detrimental to your best interest because it can lead to grave disappointment, and wasted time and money. Aside from temporarily inspiring you, similar to a sugar high while binging on sweets, getting caught in this trap can interfere with your goals, delay their attainment, and cause you to forfeit some of your authentic, higher-self aspirations while you chase rainbows.

Forcing a metaphysical practice such as astrology, which in its most authentic form is about character assessment and the outlining of personal fate (e.g. prediction), into a motivational, superficial format, where practitioners make it almost purely about inspiration (in the pursuit of their financial gain), would cause the celebrated ancients, if alive today, to demand that they be put on trial for fraud.

If You’ve Fallen Into This Trap, You’re Not Alone

Many have made this mistake for one main reason: They think to themselves, for example, “Well, if she’s on the radio and featured in major press, she should be able to solve my problems, right?” Unfortunately, wrong. Countless consumers have confused clever marketing, the ability to get good press (i.e., paying for it in one way or another, in the majority of cases), and a talent for motivational speaking with the ability to provide solutions to their problems.

Here’s a quote from a New Age marketer, one who sells inspirational seminars: “You can overcome anything–any obstacle–to achieve anything you want. It all comes down to your choices. Only the choices you make determine your success, and I will empower you to be on the right path to success. And only you can predict your future. I would never do you such a disservice like putting a prediction in your head about your future that would preoccupy and distract you. That isn’t empowering at all.”

Imagine if you took your car in to be serviced and the auto mechanic said to you, “I’m not going to put an idea in your head of something that’s wrong with your car, so that you’ll obsess over it. Instead, you’ll pay me $5000.00 for a 2-day seminar where we’ll sing the praises of your car and make it the best year of your car’s life!”

That isn’t “empowering.”

When a disciple fails, unfortunately, the inspirational coach tells them, “Well, you had the right attitude, but you just made some wrong choices.”

Realize that choice and attitude aren’t the only quotients. There are many equally talented, wise, proactive, and prudent private equity pros, for example, but the most financially successful ones, in our view, have worked lifetimes to get to where they are now.

Look, we’re all for inspiration (if grounded in reality), dreams, and excitement about making your life the best it can be, but if there’s something you need to face squarely, wouldn’t you rather deal with it so you can move on instead of planting your head in the sand?

How to Escape the Trap

It’s not easy to back out of the primrose path of illusion once you’ve been wandering down it for a while. It can be distressing to face the truth, but you can do it.

First, refuse to buy into wild promises. Everything has a price; financially or otherwise. A long list of glowing testimonials might very well indicate that the person selling something she says you desperately need is merely creatively entrepreneurial in collecting and implementing them (such as through select “master-mind” groups, where members strategize and post rave reviews on each other’s websites); the hype and insincerity bleeds through once you peel away the veneer.

The self-congratulatory inspirational marketers proclaim things such as “See, look what I’ve achieved–if you follow my advice you can achieve anything!” But if their primary source of revenue is from conducting seminars and doing paid inspirational speeches, yet they haven’t seemed to have made big money doing what they teach, assume something is amiss (and wonder if they even have a conscience).

By all means, if you find an inspirational coach or marketer who has a great track record regarding helping people become more successful, go for it. Just keep it in perspective; nobody can help you side-step reality and cheat your personal fate no matter how much you pay them.

We recommend you focus heavily on seeking self-knowledge, which is gained through disciplines such as astrology, number mysticism, meditation, past life regression, and others. In becoming aware of your personal fate, life lessons, and your true self you’ll stop going after unrealistic, unachievable goals, and will be able to fully capitalize on your strengths and favorable timing.

Wouldn’t you rather have the peace of mind that self-knowledge fosters, and even be able to prepare more thoroughly for life’s challenges, than ignorantly assume that you lack any limits whatsoever and that reaching all your dreams is only an expensive seminar away?

Strive to become more aware of yourself and your highest path so you can spend time and energy creating that which is in line with your destiny and you’ll never get caught in this common trap again.

10 Ways to Make Your Hedonism Vacation Spiritual

Leave a reply
Share Button

Your hectic schedule demands that you take a vacation once in while. You’ve earned it and you want to make the most of your time off: fun, sun, relaxation, and self-indulgence, all within the healthy boundaries of your spiritual path.

Below we offer 10 spiritual tips to get the most out of your pleasure-seeking vacation. After all, as long as you’re not intentionally hurting anyone (including yourself), pleasure can be spiritual too.

1) En route to your destination cruising high above the ocean, listen to a hypnotic recording or two to help you unwind. Be careful not to go too deep though, as you don’t want to get so relaxed that you fall headfirst into your seat-mate’s lap.

2) You arrive at the tropical resort and are so excited that you’re finally here. As soon as you unpack, do a quick 20 minute meditation to ground and center yourself so you can begin your time in paradise on the right foot. First though, make sure to grab the ear-plugs because the newly formed couple next door are getting the party started early and don’t realize how thin the walls are.

3) Enjoy the wonderful meet and greet cocktail party at sunset on the beach on your first night. Pace yourself with those drinks, you’ve got an entire week ahead of you. Though a sure sign you’ve met a kindred spirit may be an invitation to do Jell-O shots, remember to ask your spiritual helpers of the Light on the other side for guidance involving new friends.

4) You wake up the next morning ready to go. You’ve got your MP3 player, sun hat, new sunglasses, and sandals. You’re well aware that birthday suits dry far faster than store-bought ones, so you go commando, like most of the other fun-loving guests. Besides, you like the freedom of movement as you go for an early morning jog on the beach. To relax those muscles after your workout, accept the offer of some complementary energy healing and Reiki from your new friend as you lounge seaside.

5) Sun-block! Use it liberally as you frolic in the sand and surf, especially on those body parts that don’t often receive the sun’s rays. As you relax and unwind in the warm sun and ocean breezes, you overhear someone speaking French and get flashes of a past life you lived long ago. Make a note of your perceptions so you can explore the insights later.

6) Don’t forget to follow good nude etiquette and sit on a towel at lunch. You’ll also want to remain centered and keep your spiritual focus sharp, so do a quick meditation before eating. The last thing you want to do is be so distracted by your fellow adventurers’ body language that you dump an enchilada with extra hot sauce and guacamole in your bare lap. But hey, the photo-op would be priceless. It would also prepare you for desert–human sundaes.

7) Nothing beats a good game of volleyball, twister, or a hula hoop contest after lunch, all nude, of course. If it’s your good karma to win, you will, but nobody likes a bitter loser, so resist the temptation to secretly film the winners and post the video online. This would not help you gain positive karma in the least.

8) How about freshening up in the late afternoon before dinner with a good massage? Perfect! Maybe 10 minutes of yoga afterwards too, to further tap your energy reserves.

9) You’re excited for the All that Glitters and Shakes and the Bubble Bath Party tonight at the disco. While partying the night away, you connect with someone who is so much fun that you can’t stop laughing as you descend the water slide together at the midnight swim, right next to the jam-packed hot tub. Sex is as spiritual as you make it, but be sure to play safe too.

10) What’s that, a lost soul, or even an innocuous demon in your room? All that merry-making has inadvertently drawn in some dark energy. Make sure to put aside some time for a spiritual cleansing meditation, and help that lost energy to the light if you’re so inclined. Keep yourself psychically protected with white Light at all times.

After a week of non-stop action, all in all, the trip was a blast. You’re confident that it’s just what you needed to relax and get a fresh perspective on your life, and you’re more convinced than ever that a spiritual lifestyle includes sensual gratification with healthy limits. Thankfully, you have more freedom now than you did in your strict, spiritually devout lifetimes as a priest, nun, or monk of various faiths!

Questions for Psychics: Ghosts, Mediumship and Spirit Guides


Leave a reply

How can I communicate with loved ones who have crossed over, you ask?

The loss of a loved one is always difficult. It’s only natural to want to contact them and continue communication.

We believe loved ones who cross over do check in with those they left behind from time to time, and they are often there for you when you need them, even if you can’t sense their presence.

The trouble is, however, that most of us are not conditioned at an early age to be open to communication from those who have crossed over, and to identify it. Even though many may be beamed messages from the other side frequently, most people don’t acknowledge the signs.

In our experience, only those who are open-minded and, or spiritually sensitive can perceive this type of communication. Regular meditation can help those who are less sensitive, who are open to the possibility, to receive some insight.

If you want to receive communication from your loved ones who have crossed over, start by meditating daily. Getting into the practice of being centered and in touch with your higher-self will allow you to eventually be more aware of the spirit world. If you are disciplined enough to meditate regularly, you’ll also find you’ll be reaping the many benefits of this practice, such as being more relaxed and intuitive.

We believe that many of the rewards found through spiritual disciplines such as meditation demand at least some sacrifice, such as reducing your TV time. But the sacrifice seems like nothing once you begin to gain the benefits of your discipline.

Spend some quiet time alone with no distractions. Visualize yourself surrounded with a bright, white Light, or pretend the sun is shining brightly down upon you. Breath deeply, focus your attention on your heart or third eye area, and if you have trouble emptying your mind of thoughts, try imagining transferring all those preoccupations into an imaginary basket sitting next to you. Just say, “OK, I’ll get back to all of this after I meditate.” Then count from 1-100 until you begin to feel more relaxed. Perceive the numbers in your mind, or better yet, imagine them appearing on your chest plate or third eye area as you maintain your focus on that spot.

The more intently you focus, the easier you will get into a meditative state. You’ll get better with practice and eventually be able to gain insight about your questions.

You also may be able to communicate in your dreams with loved ones who have crossed over. Before bed, relax and think about the good times you and your loved one shared. Be grateful. Talk with him or her and share your questions or anything else that’s on your mind. Then ask for help in becoming aware of their presence in your dreams and recalling those dreams. Also ask for help from God or whomever you pray to and in time you may be able to be more perceptive of spirit communication. It’s also a good idea to immerse yourself in protective white Light, a cocoon of soothing, healing energy, before falling asleep to help you sleep better.

Is there a ghost in my home, you ask?

It’s much easier for us to offer a professional opinion on such matters by being physically in the location, but based on what someone tells us, sometimes it can be pretty obvious that a lost soul is hanging out in their home or workplace.

Sometimes it’s the result of someone dying in the home or area years ago and never going to “the Light.” Other times the resident unknowingly allows a lost soul into their home.

Fortunately, this problem is relatively easy to fix. One option is to send the spirit to the Light. Check out the book The Unquiet Dead by Edith Fiore. Aside from being an easy read that describes how and why lost souls can interfere with your life, there’s also an effective script in the back of the book you can read aloud which will help send lost souls on their way.

What is my spirit guide’s name and how can I communicate with them, you ask?

By design, you lack a continuous, direct line to your spirit guides, one that would always allow you to get the right answer instantaneously. Why, you ask? Because it would be too easy to skip the challenges in life, which amount to your earthly lessons.

But we believe many of you, especially if you have an active interest in metaphysics, are predetermined to be able to receive at least some other-dimensional guidance (such as through meditation), thereby gaining enough insight to help make wiser choices in life and shortening the learning curve a little bit.

Rather than attempting to link to a spirit guide, who might not be entirely helpful or even of the Light, go within to tap into your Higher-self, or God. We believe you can receive all the help you need (within reason) if you discipline yourself to tune into this stream of truth, the language of spirit. Don’t expect reams of information, like you’re listening to a speech, but do expect subtle hints, phrases, images, scents, symbols, and emotional impressions. If you pay attention and get into a meditative state of mind, with regular practice you’ll perceive what you need, when you need it.

Four Frequently Asked Questions of Psychics


Leave a reply

“Who was I in my past life?”

Which past life? Most people alive today, in our findings, have had many past lives (we’ve perceived 100s of our own). It would help to narrow down which past life you want to know about, such as one in relation to how you knew a certain person or why you have a specific interest or conflict.

Incidentally, human civilization goes back much further than recorded history on this planet, as evidenced by numerous artifacts (not to mention human remains from over a million years ago) found over the past several hundred years that don’t belong to any known historical cultures. There is also the possibility of lifetimes on other planets and in other dimensions. In all, your experiences incarnating into physical form could feasibly have spanned millions of years thus far.

Even if you don’t choose to believe in past lives, you can still benefit from the insight if you perceive it as subconscious metaphors to help advance your understanding, healing, and love.

You can perceive your past lives, with practice and discipline, through meditation and dreams. Past life self-regression is also an option, which can be done safely and privately with an effective audio.

It’s almost as if your higher-self is constantly noting every iota of your behavior, trailing behind you with video camera, audio, and even thought impression tracking. That record stays with you permanently and you’ll be forced to balance it, but often not until future lifetimes.

No matter who you were before or what you did or didn’t do, don’t fret. Everyone has been the bad guy, multiple times. What matters most, since you can’t alter your existing karma without balancing it directly, is to conduct yourself the right way now, in this life, all the time.

By the way, our work has shown us that everyone has had lifetimes as other races, nationalities, with varied economic backgrounds, etc. Everyone has a lot more in common with each other on this planet than it may seem, and your current life mirrors your past lives more than you may realize.

As far as who you’ve known in past lives, it’s likely you’ve known most of the people in your life today. If you are close to someone now, whether it be family, friends, or lovers, the connection was likely similar in past lives. For example, if you have a good relationship with your sister, she could have been a good friend in a past life. Or your neighbor now may have been your neighbor in Paris in the 1700s.

Note: Not all “unfortunate” current life situations are the result of negative karma from prior lives. Your soul chose the major themes and situations in your life in order for you to learn and understand, thus spiritually progress. Life’s rough patches, the trials and tests you regularly endure, offer perfect opportunities to “get it right” and advance.

“When will I get pregnant?”

We’ve heard this question from many women, usually after they’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while. Some mention how they’ve spent a fortune on medical assistance.

The wisdom of the book “The Cure For All Diseases” by Dr. Hulda Clark involves cleansing and healing the body naturally, without drugs or surgery, which can enhance fertility and increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant. It’s a great source to help you heal various health problems.

Caution: Dr Clark’s methods (which have no side effects) are controversial because they are holistic-based and if your doctor isn’t familiar with non-traditional healing modalities, he’s likely to reject them.

Our delineation and predictive work allow us to perceive when someone is more likely to have or adopt children. But it’s important to realize that the right souls come to mothers and, or fathers whether the baby is conceived by them or adopted. In other words, spiritually speaking, how the child arrives is less important and people will be parents or caretakers to the kids with whom they are meant to interact no matter what path they take.

“How can I develop my (psychic abilities)?”

The most effective ways to develop your psychic abilities involve practice and meditation. Regular meditation will increase your psychic ability, as will asking for clear, obvious insight in your dreams (and to remember it when you wake up) before you go to sleep. Writing down your questions before sleep and then what you remember of your dreams as soon as you wake up each morning will also help.

“What should I do for a career?”

Sometimes it’s a necessary part of one’s path to go through the (sometimes very lengthy) process of considering all options and arriving at a conclusion, or stepping stone, on one’s own.

One way to start narrowing down your options for the most fitting career is to write a detailed list of your fantasy job including tasks, skills, hours, days, responsibilities, what your coworkers are like, what your boss is like, etc. Be creative, yet realistic, and focus on your strengths. Think about your favorite areas of interest and hobbies and go from there. What makes your heart sing? What are you happiest doing? What is your passion and what can you do that’s related to it that would serve yourself and others?

Keep asking yourself, “Where and what is my next place in the world?” until you receive clues or guidance. Meditation will also help you a lot with your new career path every step of the way.

10 Tips For Self-improvement Acceleration With Subliminal MP3s

Subliminal technology involves audio or visual suggestions that your mind perceives at a subconscious level, but not at a conscious level. Remember, your subconscious takes in every detail of your environment, even the ones you can’t consciously perceive; everything you’ve ever sensed, seen or heard is stored in this memory bank.

Subliminal technology has been around since the 1950s. Subliminals are more effective than affirmations because the subconscious mind is your mind’s power and control center and accepts suggestions with less judgment than your conscious mind. Also, phobias can be difficult to overcome since fears and defenses are housed in your subconscious mind; consciously you realize that flying is relatively safe, for example, but your subconscious mind still fearfully reacts when you step onto an airplane. This is why targeting your subconscious to alleviate fears is effective.

There is some debate about whether subliminals really work. In our research we’ve discovered that the studies which have found subliminals ineffective haven’t used the technology properly.

For example, one study repeatedly flashed a sentence to participants multiple times for about 60 minutes. Another study flashed words on a screen for several minutes. In both cases, this is not enough time to have much of an impact.

Ideally, we’ve found that it’s best to see or hear the suggestions for at least three hours daily for at least four weeks, especially when the issues you’re confronting involve significant behavioral changes. Also, the suggestions must be phrased properly and be consciously acceptable to the person listening, such as in line with her goals and principles.

We’ve used subliminal suggestion audios for over 25 years. They can be very powerful if written, produced, and used in a coordinated, focused manner.

Below are guidelines to use subliminals to help you reach just about any goal.

1) Subliminal suggestions are best when phrased simply, positively, and in the present tense. There is debate about whether “you” or “I” is better. We have used both with success. “I am not smoking” will not be as effective because the subconscious mind may perceive that as “I am smoking.” “It’s easier for me to quit smoking now” and “My will power is becoming stronger every day” are better. Suggestions targeting many aspects of a goal including the resistance to the goal are best.

2) Some subliminals include what are called “masking sounds,” such as music or the sound of ocean waves. We recommend noiseless subliminals because they aren’t distracting and you can listen to them all day on auto-repeat while working, playing, surfing the internet, and even while driving.

3) If you sleep soundly you will be able to listen to noiseless subliminals all night long. A number of light sleepers have found they don’t sleep as well. Everyone is different, so experiment.

4) For best results, listen to quiet subliminals on auto-repeat, continuously (in the background while doing other things is fine), for at least three hours daily, for at least four weeks (six is better) initially. The longer you listen, the more likely your subconscious will embrace and capitalize on the suggestions.

5) If you listen at your computer, for example, and turn the volume up, anyone within earshot will be affected. It’s up to you whether or not you want others around you to benefit from the audio too.

6) Listening to more than one subliminal audio, unless they are closely related, is too much for your mind. Work on one goal at a time. Nervous tension and heightened stress are common symptoms of trying to blast too many different messages to your subconscious at once.

7) It’s natural to be skeptical of the effectiveness since you can’t consciously hear the suggestions. Subliminals work even for cynics and for those “too strong willed” to benefit from hypnosis. Everyone can benefit from hypnosis if they are willing to let go, follow directions, and have a sincere desire to reap the rewards.

One way to test the effectiveness of subliminals is to listen daily for the recommended number of weeks. Then, re-read the suggestions for that particular subliminal. You will likely find that your mind is following the directions without you even being consciously aware of them. This truly is almost effortless change.

8) If you listen to a 12 minute-long subliminal recording on auto-repeat, for example, and each suggestion is repeated at least 5 times within the 12 minutes, that’s 25 times per hour, and 75 times per day for each suggestion if you listen for at least 3 hours a day. Eventually, with recurrence, the subconscious mind will begin to follow the suggestions, just like an obedient horse follows your lead.

9) Some people may recommend that you should only buy a subliminal or hypnosis audio created by a “licensed mental health professional,” which is unwarranted. The truth is that subliminals and hypnosis have been used effectively long before licensed mental health professionals got over their fear of the falsehoods regarding these amazing tools, finally understood the benefits, and decided to use the methods in their practices.

It’s great that some mental health professionals are endorsing and promoting subliminals, hypnosis, and past life regression, but credit really should be given where credit is due.

Licensed mental health professionals didn’t pioneer subliminals, hypnosis, or past life regression and it’s not their right to slap a disclaimer on their audios suggesting that it’s unsafe to use audios formatted by holistic healers or other non-licensed mental health professionals.

10) Another myth is that you need a specialist, such as a licensed psychologist specializing in weight issues, for example, to format a good weight-loss subliminal or hypnosis suggestions. As long as you use the best technology and techniques available and use properly phrased messages, which don’t take a psychologist to understand or write, it’s not necessary to be a licensed specialist to format a good subliminal or hypnosis audio.

Do you have a goal that you’d like help with? Are you receptive to alternative methods? Then we highly recommend subliminal audios. Get your potent, subconscious mind on your side to make the most of your life.

The Power of Gratitude

“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it–would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.” –Ralph Marsto

We believe gratitude is one of the most powerful spiritual tools at your disposal. Gratitude, instead of resentment, helps you cope with life’s challenges better, magnifies optimism, eases depression, increases happiness, makes you feel more in control, helps you achieve a higher level of well-being, and helps you feel like you are in the right place at the right time.

What are you grateful for? When you drop expectations of the way things “should” be and express more gratitude, your life will improve. We’ve found that being grateful can even dramatically transform your life, within the boundaries of your personal fate.

For example, if you feel stuck in a major rut, rather than resist, be grateful for the situation’s hidden opportunities. Accepting what you can’t change and being grateful for where you are in life will allow you to free yourself from the mental bondage and rise above the mundane challenges. Before you know it, you’ll be having more fun and be able to move beyond, or at least more easily deal with, that particular life test.

Use the following list as a starting point to express gratitude for where you are, everything in your life that you have (even if it’s not ideal or perfect for you right now–be grateful for how it is and what you like about it), and all the good that will be.

Be grateful for the following: the opportunity to be alive on Earth and to live where you do; choices in your life; the ability to communicate; the ability to think; the ability to read; the ability to express yourself; the ability to love; your health; your relationship or single status; your kids if you have them; your parents, relatives, friends, family, and pets.

Be grateful for opportunity for growth; life’s challenges that make you stronger; your hobbies; good books; opportunity to learn; emotions; passion; your intellect; your ability to forgive; and of course smiles.

Let’s remember to be grateful for the sun; flowers; gardens; green grass; trees trees; beautiful landscaping; nature; the forests; the deserts; the plains; the oceans; the ability to swim in the ocean; the beach; spring; summer; fall; and even winter.

Be grateful for entertainment, movies, theater, travel, your favorite music and performers, the ability to fly across the world on a jet, your favorite city, money, good sex, and love.

It’s a great idea to be grateful for the military that keeps you safe; cops for protecting you; firefighters for saving you; free enterprise; civil liberties; capitalism; economic growth; honest public officials; voting rights; democracy; and of course the U.S. Constitution (for those of you who are American citizens).

Express gratitude for ethnic foods; your favorite foods; your favorite restaurant; good sleep; exercise; meditation; yoga; and nutritional supplements.

Be grateful for your work, employees, boss, transportation, home, furniture, clothing, and your comfortable bed at night.

How about being grateful for technology, the Internet, email, and Google? We’re sure you can think of many more things for which to be grateful.

To make the most of your gratitude, we suggest you bond it to another dynamic spiritual energy: faith. Gratitude and faith can be used together as one of the most potent spiritual forces available to you, even when things are not going the way you had hoped they would. Cultivate the use of these forces as often as you can and then watch your life change for the better.

10 Forgiveness Tips

Leave a reply

One of the most beneficial things you can do for your emotional well-being is to forgive. Forgive everyone who has ever hurt you, let you down, ripped you off, and anyone you perceive as the “enemy.”

Why? Because holding on to resentment toward someone depletes your energy, delays spiritual progression and growth, and makes your life more stressful. Forgiveness will not make you let your guard down, make you overly-vulnerable, or allow the troublemaker to continue hurting you if you don’t want it to. In fact, it will make you stronger and possibly even protect you from further harm.

Below are 10 tips to help you forgive and let go.

1) It’s important to note that forgiveness is a process. It doesn’t usually happen overnight. Commit to it and eventually the negative feelings will fade.

2) If you’re having trouble forgiving someone, try the following exercise. Meditate on the situation and person and visualize them in front of you. Explain why you’re upset, then tell them you forgive them. Notice the reaction you perceive them to have. Do this until you can feel your forgiveness, and remember it’s not for them, but for you. Every time you think of the person express forgiveness to them.

3) Try to view the situation from their viewpoint and consider all the possible reasons why they acted as they did (such as experiences in their childhood, lack of awareness, emotional or mental instability, neurosis, possession, etc.). Try to feel compassion for them, though at first it may seem easier to turn water into wine.

4) Accept that whatever happened may be something you chose, on a karmic, spiritual level, to experience. Take responsibility for your part of what happened “to you.”

5) Realize that if you don’t forgive them, guess who you’ll get to come back with in a future life for another round? That should help you let go of the resentment more quickly.

6) Realize that they will get what’s coming to them eventually, even if it doesn’t appear so to you. Our findings indicate that karma often doesn’t return to someone until future lifetimes. You do not have to, and should not attempt to assist this process, by the way. If you do, you will create more negative karma for yourself. Revenge with no apparent consequences may have been a popular theme in the 80s show Dynasty, but unlike in TV-land, vengeance comes with a heavy spiritual price in the real world.

7) Life is demanding. Instead of targeting someone with animosity and creating more tension and trauma, try other activities like meditation, exercise, watching funny movies, or doing something nice for someone. Lighten up and let it go. Life is too magnificent to waste it being angry.

8) Forgive, but don’t forget. Be compassionate, yet stand your ground.

9) Remember to forgive yourself. It’s amazing how many people have managed to forgive others, but have not found the self-love to forgive themselves.

10) Go through the following list and forgive everyone. Feel the forgiveness. Express the forgiveness. Remember, it’s not for them. This is for you.

We recommend you forgive your parents for ignoring or smothering you; your mom for embarrassing you; siblings for being too hard on you; and your sister for hitting on your high school boyfriend.

Also forgive that strife-generating coworker; the office tattle-tale; the office opportunist; the office back-stabber; bosses who took advantage of your loyalty; the guy who fired you; the gal who didn’t hire you; neighbors for being nosy; neighbors for violating your right to peace and quiet; your neighbor’s dog for crapping in your yard; relatives for making your life a living hell; your obnoxious aunt; your funny but annoying uncle; the father of your first girlfriend; your former lovers; the date who stood you up; and the date who slandered your good reputation.

While you’re at it, forgive extreme liberals; those who refuse to separate Church and state; Christians; Muslims; politicians who are fiscally irresponsible; extreme conservatives; anyone who discriminates based on sexual orientation; anyone who discriminates based on race; anyone who discriminates based on nationality; republicans; democrats; God, for laughing when you announce your plans; your higher-self for being so bold on the other side; dark entities–they dislike, are repelled by forgiveness; and demons, for trying to bring you down.

Let’s also forgive Wall Street hustlers; U.S. Congress; big government; reckless government; Bin Laden; CNN News; FOX News; CNBC News; ABC News; CBS News; MSNBC News; biased media reporting; dishonest media Reporting; biased reporters who have a political agenda; Katie Couric; Sarah Palin; Barack Obama; terrorists; corrupt politicians; gang-bangers; Barney Frank; Al Gore; radical environmentalists; eco-terrorists; polluters; Chris Dodd; Chris Cox; Bernie Madoff; George W. Bush; Hillary Clinton; Rush Limbaugh; Bill Clinton; classmates from high school and grade school; the economically ignorant; wealth destruction advocates; the teacher who embarrassed you; the stock market; rich people; poor people; the mob; bigots; hypocrites; and affirmative action advocates.

It will make you feel a lot better if you forgive all of the following: ignorant people; intolerant people; critical people; jealous people; judgmental people; gays; bis; straights; blacks; whites; Asians; Latinos; Native Americans; Indians; Chinese; Japanese; Thais; Middle Easterners; Russians; Canadians; S. Americans; C. Americans; Africans; S. Africans; Europeans; stingy people; spendthrifts; animals; teachers; priests; ministers; nuns; gamblers; alcoholics; smokers; people who toss cigarette butts out of their cars; and drug addicts.

Remember also to forgive loud mouths; the woman who talks way too loudly on her cell phone; the guy behind you on that flight who wouldn’t shut up; cops; cop killers; those who disrespect military personnel; those who hate Americans; criminals; and finally, yourself.

That’s a lot to forgive, and we’re sure you can think of others you could forgive. But you can do it, and think how much more energy you’ll have to make the most of your life after you do.

“Always forgive your enemies – Nothing annoys them so much.” – Pamela Daranjo
