When to Keep Quiet About Your Metaphysical Beliefs 

Long gone are the days when someone could easily be committed to a mental institution, or worse, simply for speaking up about their ability to perceive auras, past lives, or the future. Thank God. More and more people are receptive to metaphysical subjects, but still, you need to watch what you say. Not everyone will understand, and some will even use the information against you.

Friends and Acquaintances

It’s likely you have friends who are involved with metaphysics if you are too. However, for those who aren’t, remember that it’s not necessary for all friends to have the same beliefs. Accept your differences and respect that they might not want to hear about the ghost in your new home.

Family

The non-believers in your family likely already think your metaphysical beliefs are crazy, so there’s no point in trying to convince them of your viewpoint. Try not to judge them for judging you. They are who they are and it’s okay to have a different viewpoint. Even if they are rude, be the adult and let it go. If they bring up the subject, it’s usually best to keep it brief rather than launch into a detailed description of how grandma visited you after her death. After they die they’ll realize you were on to something, but in the meantime avoid conflict by surrendering any desire to change their thinking.

Occasionally saying a few words about various goings on from a spiritual standpoint is harmless, and will at least make you feel like your voice is not totally shut down. If you’re lucky enough to have a receptive relative with whom you can discuss metaphysical subjects, save it for them.

Coworkers and Your Employer

Caution about sharing your views with coworkers. Even an innocent conversation about your past life visions of you and your coworkers as slaves on a plantation in 1753 could come back to whip your ass. Keep your visions to yourself unless a coworker is as metaphysically inclined, and even then it’s usually better to say only what you’d say in front of the entire staff, including your boss. Make sure to use your metaphysical talents to your great advantage in the workplace, covertly (and for the highest good of all involved, of course), to protect yourself and improve your job performance.

Dating

Hold your tongue for the first few dates if you think there may be chemistry and compatibility, and after that tread carefully. Your metaphysical interests are only a small part of who you are, and it would be a shame for a potential love interest to drop you in the very early stages of a relationship just because they don’t understand.

On the other hand, if they are rigidly closed off to even the most universally accepted metaphysical concepts, and insist that your convictions are “wrong,” this may not be a match made in heaven. If you find yourself on a date with someone you’d rather not spend time with again, speak your mind and pour it on! They will likely do you the favor of discontinuing the interaction.

Strangers You Encounter

Let your freak flag fly around strangers, especially those you’ll likely never see again! We’re not recommending that you act radically or anti-social, but you may find yourself occasionally giving spontaneous, important messages to strangers, just what they need to hear at the time, and not even realize the importance of what you’ve said and the impact it made. You might serve them perfectly and even plant an important seed of insight that stays with them for years.

Follow the advice above and you’ll have greater peace of mind and suffer less strife in your personal and professional relationships.

A Stunning Peak Into the Future of Dating and Relationships, Part II 

Leave a reply

Imagine living in a society where everyone was extremely psychic, and also fully embraced the tenets of karma, fate, and reincarnation. What would your love life be like?

What follows is how we perceive things will be in 500 or more years, and also, according to our past life regression empirical research, how relationships were recognized in certain advanced lost civilizations, thousands of years ago.

1) People will see the purpose of each relationship before it begins. They’ll look back in wonder about how, hundreds of years earlier, relationships were expected to be predominantly about romance and serving personal agendas.

Sure, a little romance can add spice to a relationship, but in the future humanity will be psychic enough to realize that there is a different purpose for every connection, everyone has many soul mates, and not all of those connections are meant to involve lasting harmony and romance.

The karma, both “good” and “bad,” with every person you meet, will be obvious, so romantic illusion won’t cloud judgment. Instead of hoping that each new possibility is “the One” (which is too easy to do now because of the influence of movies, TV and pop culture, in general), people will simply sit back, relax, and perceive what is most likely meant to transpire based on what happened between them in past lives and where they left off.

2) Jealousy and possessiveness will cease to exist. Trying to own or control a partner in any way will be regarded as archaic and dysfunctional. No one will feel a need to because though more people will be single, the relationships that do develop will be so compatible and strong that the thought of someone else coming between them won’t be considered a threat.

3) Cheating and lying will be almost non-existent. Likewise, because everyone will be able to perceive themselves and others honestly, they’ll accept that strict, life-long monogamy is not ideal for everyone. Those for whom it isn’t, about 50% of the population, will no longer make promises of life-long fidelity and it won’t be expected of them either. As a result, responsible non-monogamy and group relationships will be more popular as an alternative to dishonesty.

4) Far fewer will marry, those that do will wait until later in life, and there will be different forms of marriage. Some will choose to have what we now call traditional marriage because of their happy shared lifetimes of the same. Other couples will mirror different relationship models that worked for them in their past lives.

5) People won’t feel the need to get married before having kids. They’ll also accept that marriage does not guarantee happiness and security for a child and since the focus will be more on the child than their relationship, “child contracts” will be more popular than marriage contracts. These will, among other things, put the child first and protect the child and the primary caretaker of the child.

One of the best things about a high level of psychic ability is the awareness of unlimited love from within and the other side. The romantic love so many seek now pales in comparison with this. People will feel more joyous and complete on their own, which will result in far more healthy and satisfying relationships.

5 Spiritual Tips to Deal With Difficult People Over the Holidays

Leave a reply

Strife is a fact of life. No matter how much you try to get along with certain individuals in your life, disharmony prevails. It’s like they are driven by a demonic lord to make your life difficult.

Good news! You can’t rid yourself completely of the bad apples in your life, but you can change your perspective and therefore escape the harsh effects of those seemingly darkly influenced people.

Below are five tips to deal effectively with difficult people:

1. Generate compassion. Realize that they are difficult because it’s very possible they are dealing with their own personal demons. It could be anything from early life abuse, to addictions, to deep depression, to actual demonic influence (or all of the above). It’s also likely that if they were to experience directly the negativity they exude, they would be shocked; they may not even realize the extent of the abuse they inflict on others.

2. Accept that you can’t change how they are and that no matter who you were, they would still act the way they do. Don’t take it personally. Stop expecting that person to treat you like you want to be treated. Eventually, even if it is not until that person leaves this world, they will fully realize the pain they have generated. Don’t worry about trying to make them see the wrongs they inflict, that will take care of itself.

3. Detach from the circumstance. In other words, see it happening from outside of yourself, like you’re watching a dramatic soap opera: “Oh, look, there goes so and so again, giving me a hard time.” In doing so, you may even deflate the other person’s cruelty to the point where they might begin to look for someone else to harass instead of you.

4. Avoid reacting negatively, maintain composure and a positive attitude, and even smile if you can manage it. Whatever you do, avoid revenge. If you really feel like responding to that person, do it later, such as through e-mail or text. Write a few notes to yourself immediately after a negative interaction and then think about how to best phrase the e-mail content later.

Also, it’s much easier to keep in control and maintain your cool if you’re getting enough good sleep and exercise, and maintain a healthy diet. It also helps to arm yourself spiritually. Imagine yourself engulfed in a protective spiritual bubble of white Light and ask for help from guides and helpers of the Light on the other side.

5. Consider the opportunity, as unpleasant as it is, as a spiritual test. While it may be true that the other person is incurring negative karma by being difficult, you very well may have some karmic links to their behavior and how it affects you. We believe important life circumstances, the bad and good, aren’t random; they are part of your predetermined karmic framework and it’s up to you to deal with them constructively.

We recommend that, aside from expressing gratitude for the rewards and beauty of life, you view life as a series of tests and opportunities and approach it with compassion and faith. In doing so, you increase your spiritual power, win the game, and when you encounter those unruly souls again, whether on the other side or in a future life, you won’t have to endure a similar test again.

Failing Your Spiritual Tests – 5 Examples

Leave a reply

“Without fail, you will be tested,” said the wise man. We believe that how you respond to your spiritual tests in life determines how you progress spiritually, and it impacts your future personal fate.

Whether or not you’re successful with these tests depends on if you do the right thing and respond with unconditional love, tolerance, and honesty.

But let’s face it, you have most likely experienced a situation where you’ve been tested spiritually and failed miserably. Relax, you’re not alone, but the sooner you begin to deal constructively with your tests, the sooner you’ll balance your karma.

Below we list five common circumstances that may not always seem like a spiritual test failure, but we believe are.

1. After having your car serviced you realize that you’ve been ripped off; they didn’t fix the problem. In order for you to remedy the problem, you have to deal with the manager of the dealership, and you already know it will be difficult to deal with that person based on prior experience. Though you may not realize it at the time, this is a test for you to harden your resolve and stand up for what you believe in. Instead, you opt for conflict avoidance and take your car elsewhere to be serviced.

2. Both of you cheat in your relationship and are fully aware of it, yet pretend it doesn’t happen, while simultaneously promoting your new book on the importance of life-long monogamy. Instead of conceding that your relationship is finished on a sexual level, you lie and carry on like it isn’t. While you could do a lot of good for future generations, empowering them to realize that strict monogamy isn’t realistic for everyone or in all situations and that it’s acceptable to have alternative arrangements if everyone agrees to them, you take the easy way out.

3. Two individuals on the fringe of your social circle are burdened with nasty rumors about their integrity. You happen to find out the truth, that indeed those two people are innocent. Suddenly, an opportunity is thrust upon you to clarify the situation at a party one night, but you simply keep your mouth shut while they suffer.

4. You still can’t believe how your ex treated you, and you’ve vowed to never forgive that person, ever. The problem is that you’re only hurting yourself and that by holding a grudge, you’re inviting future scenarios where you’ll be forced to learn about forgiveness in love relationships, time and time again, until you finally get it right.

5. It’s like the universe is conspiring to push you into solitude, but you refuse to go along with it because you can’t stand to be alone for even 30 minutes. You do everything you can to surround yourself with warm bodies, including taking yoga and dance classes, joining clubs, and living with multiple roommates in a large house. Though you succeed in almost never being alone, you fail to do the inner work that comes naturally in solitude, thus continue to delay your spiritual progress.

In what way are you taking the easy way out and avoiding real, spiritual progress? Meditate on that. Also, go easy on yourself, but strive to constructively and honestly deal with life tests as they appear at your doorstep so you can avoid a dreaded do-over in the future.

What Everyone Ought to Know About Redemption

Leave a reply

The Oxford Dictionaries defines redemption as “the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil: God’s plans for the redemption of his world [in singular] a thing that saves someone from error or evil… the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt… the action of buying one’s freedom: soldiers who were captured had to seek redemption [as modifier]: serfs began paying redemption dues… ”

Two assassins are talking about their work and the associated burdens and one of them says, “Sure, I’ve killed many people, but I’ve also saved many lives. Have you ever asked yourself, at the moment of judgment, or whatever happens after death, is there anything that could redeem us?”

It’s a very common question: is it possible to clear the heavy karmic debts that you’ve incurred in this lifetime?

Our answer is, it depends. It may not even be a karmic debt in the first place, even in the case of terminating someone’s life.

In the case of the two assassins, considering they are under contract to eliminate only individuals such as terrorists who intend to harm civilians, we believe the assassins are free of any related negative karma.

Just as it’s acceptable in a karmic sense to squash a mosquito, or eradicate parasites from your body, it’s perfectly okay to kill terrorists, those who have killed and fully intend to kill more American (or European, or Thai, etc.) civilians, for example. Kill a terrorist, save multiple people (or even just one person) in the process, and you balance out your karma, in our educated opinion.

Alternatively, if an assassin is in the business of killing people who merely got on the wrong side of an outlaw, for instance, like in the case of someone with gambling debts, we believe it’s likely the assassin will incur the related karma. Although it may be fate that the gambler was supposed to die that way, and the assassin was supposed to carry out the hit, karma will probably still be incurred, in our view.

However, is it possible that the assassin who knocks off the gambler won’t incur any negative karma? Yes, we think so, because in our past life regression empirical research we’ve witnessed cases where so called horrible acts were committed, yet no karma was incurred, either because it was payback time and the final chapter from past lives, or there was some sort of karmic exemption, since that’s how all the key players set it up before incarnating.

In the case of warriors on the battlefield slaughtering each other, based on our findings, we believe there can be some sort of spiritual “war exemption,” agreed to before incarnating, that frees the soldiers from the heavy spiritual burden; they won’t be forced by their higher-self to be murdered again and again for each battlefield kill. Note: for those who say “war doesn’t have to happen,” we disagree–there will always be alternating periods of war and peace, just like you will never be able to avoid all disagreements and contention between two very different people. Besides, there will always be very bad people on this planet, no matter how much you pray for peace.

Do guilty feelings reflect and even contribute to karma? They can, but a total sociopath who feels no guilt at all is still accruing karma on a regular basis.

For those of you who believe that you have sinned and are damned to hell, you still have time to at least work toward redemption by making up for negative acts with positive ones. Even for those without major sins, helping others however and whenever you can on a small or large scale is always a good idea.

The Consciousness Trap 

Leave a reply

In your pursuit of spiritual awareness, you may have embraced the “consciousness” movement. After all, it sounds good, right? Become more conscious of yourself, humanity, and the environment, and strive to better the planet.

However, what you may not realize is that to many advocates, “consciousness” includes destructive economic and political policies.

You’re Not Alone if You’ve Fallen For it

Many people have become ensnared in the consciousness trap. The music-to-your-ears cosmic messages, on the surface, appear to be beneficial for humanity and the planet. Some are, some aren’t.

Aside from the feel-good New Age messages about spiritual enlightenment, it’s very common for consciousness advocates to portray American capitalism as a very bad thing, as if they really want to destroy the American system. This is troubling, because contrary to extreme left political ideology, small businesses (defined as fewer than 500 employees) drive the economy, creating approximately 70% of the jobs.

That’s free enterprise, free trade among honorable American citizens, and it’s very unfortunate that the consciousness radicals, instead of focusing on the real problem, big government and big corporation collusion, and crony corporatism, these jokers target the American free enterprise system as a whole, the very thing that has made America and much of the rest of the world prosper.

Take away the economic growth engine of capitalism, and you won’t have time to concern yourself with consciousness, because your days will be consumed with trying to meet your basic survival needs.

Don’t believe us? Go live in North Korea for a while and experience firsthand a communist country. We doubt you’ll be jumping on the “let’s hate America and the capitalist system” bandwagon after that trip.

It’s reminiscent of the 1960s radicals who raged against the American system, but never offered any viable solutions, though the dark side of this movement is much more covert and underhanded.

A consciousness red flag would be something like this: “(A political candidate) has more compassion for all living beings than (the other political candidate), so you must vote for him.”

You won’t ever get a real sense about a candidate’s level of compassion from what they read from the teleprompter, and your interpretation of their intent behind their policies is likely subjective. This is where critical, objective analysis is so important. Sadly, the majority of people are not interested in or simply not capable of it.

How to Navigate the Consciousness Trap

The true meaning of consciousness is self-awareness through identifying and rising above fear-based attachments, including all bias and intolerance. In doing so, you see the world as it really is, and you’ll more likely perceive the truth and lies about each individual political issue.

Daily meditation helps a lot in achieving a clearer state of awareness, especially for those who struggle with impartiality and a reasonable sense of discernment.

Watch for These Types of Bogus Phrases to Help You Identify Phony Consciousness Initiatives

1. You must forgo your individuality for global unity (a “One World Government” slogan).

2. There has never been a better time to open up to universal consciousness.

3. We are moving from duality consciousness to unity consciousness and those who refuse to make the leap with us will be left behind. Stepping through the gateway with us will activate your higher purpose.

4. Once unity consciousness is achieved peace and prosperity will reign forever.

5. You will be able to elevate your spiritual vibration, shed your karma, and ascend beyond the polarity of this dimension (not unless you’re Buddha or Jesus, or otherwise have earned avatar status!).

The future of humanity is not at risk, there are no critical crossroads, and if you follow the advice above, you’ll never get caught in the consciousness trap again.

The Real Truth About Karma 

Leave a reply

We define karma as everything you say, do, or intend coming back to you in equal measure, mostly from past lives. What you do now will likely come back to you in a future life, not in your immediate future.

Everyone has endured a negative experience relating to career, relationships, family, friendships and, or other parts of their life. But that does not always reflect payback for having done something negative in the past.

For example, a relationship based on no promises ends. She wanted it to last forever, even though it was over almost at the beginning. She knew this, yet she wasn’t honest with herself. He believed they ended on good terms, since neither did anything wrong, it just naturally fell apart. If it’s over, it’s over, and mature adults acknowledge this and get on with their lives. Therefore, her expectations, not karma, caused her misery. Unfortunately, she claims to be heartbroken and tells others that he “hurt” her, even though he didn’t (which makes her incur negative karma).

Unfulfilled Desires Aren’t Always Bad Karma

Is this circumstance, is her deep disappointment the result of her negative actions in a past life? In our view, not necessarily. Her immaturity may be karmic, but her refusing to be an adult now and admit the reality of the connection to herself isn’t the result of her dumping someone in this life or a past life. Him not wanting to stay with her “forever” may be, however, but sooner or later, if she was honest with herself, she also would have realized it wasn’t meant to be long-term.

Trying to make a relationship work that is not meant to be, for example, is working against your destined path, so you could say it relates to your past lives, but it’s only sometimes a direct result of burning that same individual, or someone else, romantically in a past life.

Authentic Bad Relationship Karma

In another example, person A falls for person B. Person B pretends to fall in love and makes promises they have no intention of keeping (this is key), knowing all along the promises will be broken soon after. Then person B inexplicably dumps person A, leaving person A heart-broken. How do you know A had it coming? You don’t, unless you scrutinize their comprehensive astrological and numerological charts and, or they experience past life regression to find the root cause of their suffering from this experience.

In this case, considering that you discover person A had it coming through the above-mentioned methods, even though the one doing the dumping may possibly not incur negative karma for it (you read that right), the one who is heartbroken is balancing some negative karma because of treating person B and others in a similar way in a past life. Note, this doesn’t give anyone a free pass for bad behavior.

It May be Collective Timing, Not Karmic Payback

The core structure of your life, formed through past life actions, directly reflects your current key life circumstances and events. But let’s say you have a really tough time getting dates that you like, and the universe seems to be conspiring to push you into solitude. This does not automatically mean that you were a nasty lover in past lives, but that, for example, you are moving through some collective timing that is good for other things in your life right now, not your love life. It is not yet time for you to fall in love.

Lack of Self-Knowledge, Not Bad Karma

Not getting what you want doesn’t always reflect “bad karma,” particularly if you don’t yet know yourself very well and your ego-self based plan for your life is not aligned with your optimum/natural path in life, the one you are meant to travel.

Sometimes there is direct karma to balance in not getting what you want, and sometimes not. It’s unwise to always use the idea of karma as a scapegoat for life’s disappointments. Besides, there is no room for blame and self-pity in a spiritually aware person’s outlook, though even the most self-actualized individuals may temporarily regress, at times.

Get Rid of That Nasty Karmic Bond Once and For All

Our long-term findings firmly support the theories of reincarnation and karma. Until we prove them invalid, we will continue to accept them as viable Explanations for some of life’s “mysteries.”

Related to the theory of reincarnation is the notion that there are no accidents in life and that you are born into the conditions and key life circumstances (and innate abilities and inclinations) that you have earned through many lifetimes.

One of the most common inquiries we receive is a request for insight about whether a person is a “soul mate.” Soul mates come in all different forms, including, but not limited to these types: financially rewarding; incredibly romantic and pleasure oriented; work related; challenging to assist with personal growth; and downright toxic and full of negative karma (sometimes after the illusion of a supposed wonderful bond wears off).

Almost everyone has had a challenging relationship of some sort, and it’s likely you have thought when it ended, “I hope to never see that person again!”

Unfortunately, even if your former acquaintance, business partner, lover, or other is a sociopath, and clearly caused most or all the trouble, the connection may not be fully dissolved in terms of your karmic dance through lifetimes.

Failure to release negative emotions about the person is one sure way to attract that troubling soul in a future existence, or someone like that person that would represent similar circumstances. It’s natural to feel resentment, anger, intolerance, or other human, negative emotions. But you must eventually fully accept and forgive before you die, or you may be pulled into a similar lesson in a future life.

This is easier said than done, of course. Realizing the lessons learned and being grateful so you can move beyond them, understanding the person’s flaws and viewpoint, and seeing the situation from a spiritual perspective can help.

Generally, if the relationship ends peacefully, with a complete lack of animosity on your side, including true forgiveness to the point of being comfortable with the thought of meeting them on the other side for a cup of spiritual, karma-free-tea, then you may be done with one another for good. Or, the rough stuff may be finished and you may have more harmonious relations with them in future existences if you, on a soul level, choose to meet again. Some of your closest, most rewarding friendships or other relations today very well could have been the complete opposite many eons ago.

The stronger the feelings (negative or positive), which are like invisible, binding cords, the more likely there will be episodes in future lives.

Karmic debt, within interpersonal relationships, is not easy to rise above and detach from, and forms the basis for the most opportunity for growth on a soul level. After all, having a subconscious memory of the other person raiding and torching your village, for example, isn’t easy to let go of. Yet it’s in your best interest to forgive as much as you can with all of your heart to help ensure you won’t have to go through those tough lessons again.

7 Ways Your Religion May Be Hurting You 

Leave a reply

In our exhaustive metaphysical exploration and studies over the last 25 years, we’ve never exclusively adhered to one system, religion or approach. Instead, we’ve objectively considered and sampled multiple alternatives, then applied diligence, reason, and strong intuition to discern what was of the most value, and discarded what wasn’t.

One of our favorite spiritual tools is past life regression. If you experience regression enough times, you’ll find that you (your soul, not your personality) have lived many lifetimes and experienced various religions, races, economic conditions, and multitudes of other human circumstances. You’ll also better understand your life today and why you experienced what you did then.

Past life and life between life research has also shown us that there is no religion on the other side. Once your physical body dies, you enter a spiritual realm of complete love, understanding, acceptance, and awareness, void of ego and judgment. This means that religious constructs are man-made and they only exist on Earth.

Organized religion can be very beneficial. It gives people hope, peace of mind, and it can help reinforce order and morality, benefiting society. However, religion can also be harmful when taken to an extreme, as with the following seven examples.

1. Strict marriage rules tend to cause a lot of pain. Certain religions mandate that their followers must marry only people of the same faith, which has caused great sorrow and even harmful consequences. Also, many religions prohibit divorce. Can you imagine having your marriage arranged at a very young age, then having no way out, for the rest of your life, once you realize your spouse is abusive or not at all compatible?

2. Intolerance of other faiths isn’t spiritual. Contrary to what some religious leaders teach, no one religion has a monopoly on God or whatever other name you want to give to a higher power. Such bigotry has caused much war, violence, and terrorism.

3. Intolerance of select groups of people isn’t spiritual either. Religions declaring that homosexuality is wrong only encourages, at the least, homophobia and self-hatred, and worst case, suicide and violence. Fortunately, we have found zero evidence of anyone being punished in the afterlife for being gay, but plenty of instances of past life homophobes paying a karmic price in future lifetimes.

4. Lack of personal responsibility is fostered by some organized religion’s tenets. Most people instinctively know what is right and wrong and behave accordingly. But others lack this awareness and blindly follow their religion’s strict rules. Even worse, they’re instructed that as long as they go to confession, for example, their bad deeds will be cleared. This just excuses and encourages bad behavior. On the other hand, when one understands the concepts of karma and reincarnation, you know that everything you do, say, and intend will come back to you. There’s no get out of jail free card.

5. Unfortunately, many religions foster excessive conformity. There are so many rules that encourage people to obey instead of thinking for themselves that they develop a sheep-herd mentality and fail to cultivate their unique individuality.

6. Select organized religions advocate irresponsible rules about sex. Some religious leaders preach that condoms are immoral while HIV, other STDs, and unwanted pregnancies continue to be a massive problem. Some of these same leaders have even protected pedophiles from prosecution and instead blamed gays and the secularization of society.

7. Malnutrition from a “spiritual diet” is an unfortunate byproduct of some belief systems. While New Agers tend to be spiritual, not religious, some of their views and practices can do more harm than good, like the myth that you must be a life-long vegan to avoid creating negative karma. A long-term, strict vegetarian diet can be beneficial for some body types, but according to experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola, few people benefit from strict, long-term vegetarianism.

If your religion enriches your life, then by all means continue with it. But it’s our belief that one doesn’t need to be religious to be a good person, help others, and do the right thing in all situations. Our findings show that you won’t be punished in the afterlife if you follow the truly virtuous tenets in your religion and drop the rest.

Black Magic and Karma: 3 Controversial Examples

Leave a reply

Black magic is defined as the misuse of spiritual energy including harming another person or attempting to get someone to act in accordance with your desires, especially if your desires oppose theirs.

In our view, spiritual power is to be used only for good. The moment you try to control or manipulate another person, you step over the line and incur negative karma.

Below we list 3 controversial examples of black magic.

1. Every single day the very acquisitive and charismatic minister fervently prays to his savior asking for big donations from his church members. He also emphasizes in every sermon the importance of giving back to the lord. “You can never tithe enough,” he regularly states.

The power of his prayer yields impressive results over his lower middle class, obedient congregation and it’s not uncommon for donors to happily exclaim, “I don’t know what came over me, but I was led to donate a lot more than I had originally planned!”

Over the years, the prayers intensify and the church acquires an abundance of resources allowing the minister to live affluently, well beyond the means of his contemporaries. Since it’s prayer, and it’s in accordance with a religiously sanctioned idol, it’s acceptable, right? Wrong. He might as well be calling on the high priest of darkness and his merry gang of demons in this money scheme. The power of prayer may be divine, but abusing it invites pure darkness, and incurs serious negative karma.

2. A 30-something mother of two young kids wants out of her marriage, but knows her teacher salary and her husband’s income won’t be enough to support their current lifestyles if they separate. She is attracted to her male friend (and his money) who has made it clear to her that he values their friendship, but he’s not interested in her romantically or sexually (he is gay, and everyone is well aware of this, but she refuses to let go of her agenda to have a child with him).

Crystal magic to the rescue! The young lady is obsessed with crystals and spell-casting. Justifying her intent to rope him in to support her (and her two kids, their college education, and her mother) by reasoning that he can afford it and would like it if he just gave her a chance, she attempts crystal-based magic to draw him in and even interfere with his love life.

Unfortunately for her, his acute self-awareness leads him to realize she is attempting to manipulate him and he calls her on it. Instead of admitting the obvious, she denies it and plays the victim, incurring even more bad karma, and their friendship ends.

3. A best-selling New Age author has decided that she would like to “neutralize” the spiritual teachers she deems unacceptable and “harmful to the progress and inspiration of the New Age movement” with the help of her Wicca friend. Unfortunately for the New Age author, who does not believe in karma or reincarnation, by attempting to thwart the success of others, she is setting herself up for a series of lifetimes where she must endure being the target of black magic.

How do you know if you are violating spiritual law in such a way? Simple. If you are attempting to control others in any way, especially if they would reject your request if you had an honest conversation with them, then you are overstepping your bounds and will incur negative karma by utilizing spiritual forces (negative or positive) to sway them to your way of thinking.
