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


Share Button

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.

Whether you call it a hunch, gut instinct, intuition, sixth sense, or just knowing, everyone has at least some psychic ability, even if they don’t acknowledge it. The more psychic you are, especially if you trust your judgment, the easier it can be to prepare for and navigate through the tribulations and blessings of life.

Imagine if you were extremely psychic. How would it change your love life? Would it be more satisfying? Possibly, though as they say, ignorance is bliss. Now imagine if everyone was extremely psychic. While it may take another 500 years or more to reach this point, we believe society is moving toward an overall heightened sixth sense, as well as being in a position to trust it much more so and not just write it off as “crazy thinking” or “your imagination.” We also believe this was the norm in select lost civilizations before recorded history, many thousands of years ago, according to our past life research.

What follows are some ways dating and relationships would be different in a psychic society. Keep in mind this is written with the estimation that with a society that has advanced psychic ability will come the acceptance of reincarnation, karma, and fate.

1) Being single will be far more popular. Instead of feeling pressured to pair off, most singles will relish their alone time and freedom. Their heightened psychic ability will allow them to perceive those select past lives of sorrow and extreme sacrifice due to attempting to force relationships that were not meant to be “forever,” and thus they’ll feel so much gratitude for the lessons learned and for being in a much better position now.

They’ll also be able to perceive the good relationship experiences of their distant past lives, thus be open to more of the same, but this time they’ll be in no rush to find someone, feel no void within to fill and have absolutely no feelings of incompleteness just because they’re single. They’re spiritually aware enough to realize that love is all around them, and they are never really alone. There will no longer be a fear of “growing old alone.”

2) “Find love in 90 days” and other, similar programs will be seen for what they are: unrealistic. In the future, people will enjoy a strong conscious awareness of their path in life, including when they are meant to meet a compatible partner, and will avoid spending time trying to convert one that isn’t. They’ll also know when they are meant to be single, and understand it’s not negotiable through free will.

Seers who use the comprehensive ancient sciences of prediction and delineation (astrology and numerology) will be popular since people will sometimes want to confirm their psychic premonitions.

3) “Together forever,” especially from a very young age, will be seen as more of a fantasy than reality. People will understand that every relationship has time limits because they’ll be able to perceive what is meant to be and for how long. They will accept that some friendships and relationships are meant to be life-long, but many are not.

4) Couples will feel much more equal in dating and relationships. Perceived inequalities between the sexes will fade away. In addition, everyone will see each other as they are without pretense and there will be no pressure or need to impress a potential partner with expensive romantic dates or gifts, for example. Some will choose this route in a nostalgic gesture that mirrors their shared past lives, but to most, this dating custom will be seen as silly, unnecessary, outdated, and akin to prostitution (which will be accepted as a private transaction between two consenting adults).

5) Homosexuality and bisexuality won’t be an issue. Someone’s sexual orientation will be as unimportant as the color of his or her eyes. In addition, there will be little shame or embarrassment associated with sex and sexuality.

What do you see 500 or more years from now? Let us know.

Love Life Genocide Through Pop Music


Share Button

Before you think that we are advocating censorship, hear us out. We’re all for freedom of expression and speech, but it pays to critically analyze what society embraces without contemplation, like the messages in pop music that can contribute to very unhealthy outlooks on love and relationships.

Let’s consider some of the best-selling singles of all time. Although we respect all of these artists, and recognize that music can serve a cathartic purpose, as well as be uplifting and inspirational, from a spiritual perspective, the overall feeling and take-away is sometimes very dysfunctional.

Celine Dion sings in “My Heart Will Go On,” from the “Titanic” soundtrack, “Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,…spaces between us…Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on…Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go…We’ll stay forever this way…”

Aside from the fact that this song and movie were about two people who did not really know each other well enough to discern if they were even compatible, a period of mourning for lost loved ones is healthy. But refusing to let go of someone who is gone and not getting on with your life isn’t.

Cher sings in “Believe,” “After love, after love… No matter how hard I try…You keep pushing me aside…And I can’t break through…So sad that you’re leaving…But after all is said and done…You’re going to be the lonely one…I need love to feel strong…maybe I’m too good for you…”

Oh dear. In this song Cher sings about not being able to handle a breakup, then takes a defiant stance saying her ex is going to be sorry because he’s going to be the lonely one. Then she expresses a measure of vanity saying that maybe she’s too good for him. What about unconditional love and forgiveness? How about a more mature approach?

In “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”, Boy George of Culture Club sings, “How can I be real…Do you really want to hurt me…Do you really want to make me cry…I could waste a thousand years…Wrapped in sorrow…words are token…Come inside and catch my tears.”

We understand–breaking up can be very sad. But to masochistically exile yourself to victim consciousness servitude won’t do you any good.

Beyonce Knowles sings in “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)”, “…we just broke up…I cried my tears, for three good years…if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it…And now you gonna learn…What it really feels like to miss me…what I deserve…is a man that makes me then takes me.. And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond…Say I’m the one you want…If you don’t, you’ll be alone…”

If we understand Beyonce’s message correctly, it’s that she was heartbroken after a break-up and that all relationships should lead to marriage. Now she’s going to punish him because he didn’t meet her demands and he’s going to learn the hard way what it’s like to miss her.

Additionally, she believes she deserves a man who delivers her to a wonderful destiny. What about equality? Is she going to deliver him to a spectacular destiny too or does she just expect to be catered to like a spoiled princess who has an overblown sense of entitlement? And the destiny part–someone needs to inform her of the true meaning of destiny, which rarely has anything to do with Rolls Royces, 5th Avenue, and Armand de Brignac Champagne.

Taylor Swift, in “Love Story” sings, “We were both young when I first saw you…Little did I know…That you were Romeo…And I was crying on the staircase…Begging you, Please don’t go…And I said…You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess…It’s a love story, baby, just say, Yes… ”

Sure, a measure of illusion within romantic relationships is delicious, but making it all about fantasy and your personal love life agenda sets you up for major disappointment and ignores the spiritual purpose of relationships: learning important lessons (rewarding and challenging).

By all means, enjoy the music you’re drawn to, but remember that true love starts with self-love, expecting to find happiness or a feeling of completion outside of yourself through someone else will always end in disappointment, and that nobody can hurt you without your permission.

Get Rid of That Nasty Karmic Bond Once and For All

Share Button

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.

21 Tips to Save Your Teen and Yourself From Love Life Grief, Part III of III

Share Button

Have you ever wondered why so many people experience love life heartache on a regular basis? Most people seem to start out with good intentions but then many fall into the typical love life traps.

After over 25 years of empirical research with metaphysics, personality and compatibility assessment, and as a matchmaker and writing a book about soul mates, we’ve created the following tips to help you and your teens and adult children avoid all the most common love life traps.

Warning: Some of these tips may be entirely opposed to your love life dreams. We don’t sugarcoat our findings because not doing so will help you more in the long run.

1) Avoid the trap of “you are my everything.” Put yourself, your self-love, self-respect, and self-esteem first. You don’t need someone else to be happy.

A tendency to look outside one’s self for love exists when self-love, self-respect, and self-esteem are low. Unfortunately, there will never be enough to fill the void inside.

Weak self-love, needing love and attention like an insatiable drug habit, or never being comfortable with even temporary solitude are signs of being ill-prepared for, and lacking a necessary inner foundation for a healthy relationship. It’s obvious, but it overlooked by so many people.

2) Don’t try to force the circumstances of your love life. A strong will can help some areas of your life, such as career and health, but it can backfire with your love life. Know what works for you and what you want, then go with the flow. Too many New Age and self-help authors claim that you can create whatever you want, when you want, in your love life if you follow their advice. Based on our findings, we believe that everyone does have free will, but only within the confines of your individual fate and karma.

This means you can make the most of your life, but that one of life’s realities is that you can’t always have exactly what you want, when you want it.

3) Be cautious about safe-sex and birth control 100% of the time, even when you’re in love. Love or lust doesn’t protect you from unwanted pregnancies or STDs. Respect yourself and your future by practicing safe sex and using two forms of birth control every time, even if you think you know the person you’re dating very well. If they’re not okay with this, they’re probably not right for you.

4) Realize that marriage or commitment will not guarantee happiness or improve a relationship. Many divorced people will admit that the high expectations of traditional marriage can do the opposite.

5) Consider if a traditional marriage or marriage-like relationship is best for you. One size does not fit all; the traditional model encourages conforming to rules and customs which may not be right for you.

6) Consider the importance of a prenup, even if you and, or your partner don’t have many assets. Over half of all marriages end in divorce, with many couples fighting in court about money. You don’t know just what you’ll be worth 20 years from now or exactly how your partner will react if they feel their needs aren’t being met.

7) Consider the idea of what we call a “child contract” in addition to or instead of a marriage contract. Unlike marriage, this puts the child first and financially protects the main caretaker before the child is born.

21 Tips to Save Your Teen and Yourself From Love Life Grief, Part II of III

There’s an epidemic in this world and it’s as plain as day to us: A perception of dating and relationships that severely conflicts with reality. After over 25 years of empirical research with spirituality, personality and compatibility assessment, and as a matchmaker and writing a book about soul mates, it’s our intent to share what we’ve learned to help you and your kids avoid, what are often, self-inflicted love life problems.

You may not like, or even be irritated by some of these tips. Still, we encourage you to consider each one as you observe your own and others’ love life conditions. We want you to be aware of our findings even if they clash with your love life goals because the information can save you a lot of time and heartache.

1) Avoid long distance “relationships.” If you’ve met on-line but never in-person, it’s not a relationship. 90% of the time it’s a fantasy fueled by illusion that will pop like a soap bubble if you ever meet face-to-face. Date locally or agree to be just friends unless you can spend months together in the same city.

2) Don’t beat yourself up by assuming a relationship “failed” if it didn’t last a lifetime. Our findings show that all relationships are for different reasons and have destined beginnings and endings. Very few that start at a young age are meant to be life-long.

3) Life-long monogamy from a young age can work for some. For many others, they start out with good intentions, but based on the high rates of cheating and unhappiness within traditional relationships, they realize too late it isn’t an agreement they will be happy with for the rest of their life. As much as you may dislike the idea, it’s important to acknowledge that strict, life-long monogamy is unnatural and even emotionally unhealthy for many people. Forcing someone to adhere to such an agreement after they are no longer attracted to you is akin to slavery.

Therefore, before you assume that strict, life-long monogamy is best for you and your partner, consider your ages, relationship and sexual histories, and sex drives. Also, be brutally honest about your sexual compatibility and whether there is a chance you may be happier with an agreement to continually reassess your connection and the amount of freedom you give each other as your needs change over the next
50-80 years.

4) Don’t confuse sex with love. Sex is not love, and love is not sex, but love can be expressed through sex.

5) “Together forever” is a soothing thought. It would be nice to meet the ideal partner at a very young age and be happily involved for the rest of your life, but the reality is it’s very rare. Also, times have changed. Considering that in 60 years it may be common to live to the age of 100, is expecting a relationship to last 80 years and also be harmonious and beneficial for both partners as they change and progress or regress realistic? In light of this, you may want to focus more on enjoying the moment rather than making life-long plans with a “high school sweetheart” or even while you are still in your 20s.

6) Avoid searching for the ever-elusive “true love” or expecting every connection to live up to such expectations. The only authentic love is unconditional love, which is completely void of expectations and demands. You must first have a reasonable level of self-love and let go of emotional neediness in order to enjoy and benefit from unconditional love.

7) Be careful of excessive focus on romance. It’s great in moderation, but our findings firmly suggest that most relationships tend to be more for personal growth.

21 Tips to Save Your Teen and Yourself From Love Life Grief, Part I of III

We get many questions from young adults about love life dilemmas. So many of them fall into traps that could have been avoided with good guidance and advice. It leaves one wondering, “Didn’t their parents or mentors help them distinguish love life fantasies from reality?”

Sadly, many parents still don’t know the difference and as we explain below, it’s an easy mistake to make.

The good news is that you can make enormous progress in your love life by altering your perception and taking a new approach which we hope to help you do with this information.

After over 25 years of empirical research involving relationships, spirituality, personality and compatibility assessment, including observing thousands of love relationships as a matchmaker and writing a book about soul mates, we’ve come to the following conclusions that will help you and your children avoid unnecessary and self-inflicted sorrow. Of course, sometimes kids won’t take your advice and will need to experience mistakes first hand in order to learn, but at least you may plant a seed.

Parents, please help your teen and young adult children become aware of the following love life tips. You may save them a lot of grief. Note: some of this information may completely conflict with your love life hopes and dreams. Even if you disagree with some or many of these tips, we encourage you to consider them as you observe your and others’ love lives. As harsh as some of them may sound, we’re merely relaying our findings and we’d rather have you be aware of them to lower your risk of heartache or worse.

1) Most people have embraced as reality, thanks in part to nearly everyone around them doing the same, love life fairy-tales perpetuated by romantic songs, movies, and TV shows. Every so often a romantic fairy-tale occurs (and lasts) in real life, such as an unusually rewarding love connection, but it’s certainly not the norm and it’s best to remind yourself, especially when first smitten by a new love interest, that it is only one possible outcome. When you accept that each relationship is for a different reason, one that is not always obvious at first, it’s easier to enjoy the individual fruits of each and you won’t be disappointed due to unrealistic expectations.

2) Make your education and career your number one priority and follow your passions and talents when you’re young. If you spend all your time and energy on a relationship, especially one that is rocky because you don’t yet know yourself well or what works for you, you may regret it when you are 40 or 50 and struggling with your career and, or finances. For now, think of your love life as a side dish that compliments the rest of your life rather than the main course.

3) Avoid assuming someone is “the love of your life.” You won’t know who that is until the last day of your life.

4) Acknowledge the myth of the “one and only soul mate.” Everyone has many, and most are not compatible enough for a harmonious, life-long relationship. Also, there’s no such thing as a “twin soul” or your “other half.” You are complete and whole on your own, even if you don’t realize it yet.

5) Try to avoid putting pressure on yourself to be married by a certain age, or giving too much thought to missed opportunities or “the one who got away.” It’s an all too common trap to project dreams and fantasies onto someone you don’t know or can’t have and it may very well be that a relationship with that person wouldn’t have been favorable for you anyway.

You have free will to pursue your love life goals, but trying to control the outcome too much will just add more stress to your already hectic everyday life. Our findings indicate that everyone meets who they are meant to meet, when they are meant to meet them, and it will last for as long as it’s meant to, so try to relax and perceive each situation in a positive light, even when it doesn’t turn out the way you had hoped.

6) Don’t wait for the chemistry to magically appear. It’s either there between two people, or it’s not. If it’s not or if it’s a troubling connection, move on. Don’t be afraid to be single; it’s better than wasting time with someone who isn’t good for you.

7) Don’t hang on to a relationship that has ended or just wasn’t meant to be. Accept that it’s over, let go and move on or you’ll block other, more compatible, future relationships.

Still Single? 7 Possible Reasons

Share Button

The most common reasons so many people are seemingly unable to find a long-lasting, ideal, harmonious, fulfilling, compatible relationship may include some of the following: they like being single; they aren’t comfortable with the prevailing relationship models of today; they’re holding on to the past; they waste time with people who are not compatible; they didn’t use the right manifestation techniques; the ideal, life-long relationship is largely a myth; it’s not part of their path at this time.

1) For some people, it’s not that they are unable to find a lasting, compatible relationship. They just haven’t found someone whom they value more than their solitude and, or independence. They’d rather be single than deal with the typical relationship problems, and that’s okay. Not everyone feels the need to go through life with someone always by their side.

2) Throughout this planet’s history, the type of relationship society deems acceptable has varied. For example, at times, in certain cultures, non-monogamy, open marriages, or short-term contract marriages were actually the norm (e.g., ancient Egypt). It’s likely that there has always been a portion of society that didn’t feel comfortable with what everyone else was doing. Likewise, what is most acceptable today (life-long, strict monogamy within a traditional marriage) may not resonate with everyone. Each person will be happiest if they realize what works best for them and then remain true to themselves.

3) Waiting for a lover to come back, resenting someone who hurt you, or holding out for something that isn’t meant to be will waste your energy, cause unnecessary suffering, and block future potential partners. The best thing you can do for yourself in these situations is to let go and move on.

4) On-line dating makes meeting people easier, but an unfortunate epidemic has stemmed from the technology: the long distance “relationship.” You wouldn’t believe the number of e-mails we get from people asking if their love interest, who happens to live in a different state or country and with whom they’ve been interacting daily for months but never met face-to-face, will result in happily ever after. The longer you wait to meet someone in-person, the more potential there is for the interaction to be based mostly on illusion and fantasy. Date locally or don’t expect anything to come from it until you’ve spent months together in the same city.

5) There are some New Age authors who declare you too can “manifest” the “love of your life.” Sure, certain rituals and exercises can help you gain clarity and focus on your goals, but to claim anyone can, for example, overcome all blocks that are preventing you from creating the love life of your dreams, is incredibly dishonest and blatantly snake-oil salesman-like. What’s even worse is when the “expert” blames the client for not trying hard enough when the steps don’t work.

We are certain, based on our many years of empirical research with personal fate, karma, matchmaking, and forecasting timing trends that you can’t magically “create” a compatible, lasting partner if it’s not part of your destiny and karma at that time. By all means, go ahead and “manifest” a companion when you want, but just realize that most of the time it won’t turn out to be a “complete package” soul mate, or even close.

6) It’s not difficult to finally come to the conclusion after years of trial and error that an ideal, mutually satisfying (sexually, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) “permanent” relationship is mostly fantasy. Once you accept it’s actually extremely rare, it’s easier to instead focus on, be grateful for and enjoy the other, more rewarding parts of your life.

7) As mentioned above, a compatible, long-lasting relationship will only happen for someone when it’s destined to happen. Ultimately, personal fate and karma prevail as the core reasons you can’t have an ideal love life any time you want. The good news is that your individual love life timing, like the seasons, is always changing. If you don’t like where you are now, do all you can to improve yourself and your situation and have faith things will get better, eventually.

What Never to do When Dumped and What to do Instead

Share Button

Anyone who has dated has probably been dumped. It happens even to the most eligible singles for various reasons.

We recently heard from a 29 year-old woman who said that her ex “should be” with her, and that she had paid a few spell-casters to work their magic and bring him back, but he still isn’t responding. She wanted to know what else she could do to change his mind.

We told her that it’s not her right to manipulate anyone, and using spiritual strong-arm techniques like love spells to control someone is abusing spiritual energy, will cause negative karma, and can invite nasty energy into your life.

It can be heartbreaking when someone leaves. However, there are magical techniques you can do to minimize the pain, not cause any negative karma, and if it’s destined, possibly repair your relationship.

Mystic’s Magic Formula

If you apply the Mystic’s Magic Formula, you will reach your goals if they are part of your predestined path. If they aren’t, your efforts are likely still part of your destiny, but may be more for a learning experience. Remember, the journey is often more important than the destination.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These steps are nondenominational; they can be used by anyone for all areas of life, no matter what religion or belief system you subscribe to.

1) Make time to consider your situation from a spiritual perspective. Review your assumptions and expectations and let them go.

Romantic love is nice, but it’s not the main purpose of relationships. Learning your lessons and working through your “good” and “bad” karma is. Also, remember that you likely have a long, hidden history with every person you become involved with, sometimes good, sometimes more challenging. This ancient history, if you care to explore it through meditation or past life regression, will shed light on why things worked out the way they did.

2) Accept what has happened, what is, and where you are (essential in order to move on).

If the person you want to be with is not interested, the best thing you can do to avoid excessive suffering is to accept their decision. Why in the world would you want someone who doesn’t want you? Also, once you accept and move on, you may find that they will perceive you in a better light.

3) Gratitude: express it for where you are, everything rewarding in your life that you have, and the good that will be, and strengthen your faith by continuing to emotionalize the desired, end result.

If there’s still a chance of saving the relationship, gratitude can work wonders. If there’s not, being grateful for new love in the future will too.

4) Invite help from your higher-self, guides of the Light and, or God.

Ask for help accepting the situation, repairing it if it’s destined, and, or moving on. Ask and you shall receive. Perhaps not always what you want, but usually what you need.

5) Calm your mind and fears and awaken your awareness through meditation.

6) What’s the next step? Ask this every step of the way and be open for clues.

7) Assume responsibility for yourself and your situation (no blaming).

8) Navigate your path with the tools available to you: numerology and astrology, meditation, past life regression, and graphology.

9) Do what you need to do, when you need to do it (and do “the right thing” in all situations).

When you follow these steps, you’ll initiate the right action at the right time and it will be for the highest good of all involved, resulting in more happiness, peace of mind, and a much more rewarding life.

5 Major New Age, Spiritual Mistakes


Share Button

Virtually everybody ends up wasting time somewhere along the line in their pursuit of spiritual awareness because the path is replete with pitfalls.

Don’t feel bad if you’ve taken a time consuming detour down a spiritual dead-end street. You’re not alone.

Below we list some of the most common New Age blunders.

1. Buying into the myth that personal adversity doesn’t have to exist, that it’s not necessary for spiritual growth. You’ve likely been exposed to New Age offerings telling you that “You were born only to enjoy life and to end suffering.” As nice as it sounds, don’t buy it. Life is full of important lessons and some of the most important spiritual breakthroughs come through personal adversity. Besides, if life was constantly and forever rainbows and sunshine, you would quickly become so bored that your subconscious would generate some sort of drama and conflict to make you feel alive. The good news is that you have free will within the confines of your fate and you can diminish the effects of suffering through acceptance, gratitude, and awareness.

2. Embracing the feel-good, yet bogus New Age claims, such as “I’ve found my soul mate and you can too in 90 days or less.” Authentic love–unconditional love-has nothing to do with deadlines and legal contracts. Real love happens when it’s supposed to happen, not in accordance with ego-self ideals, and everyone has different love life timing. Also, you have many soul mates and our findings clearly show that most are not meant to be life-long or the most desirable type, but the sort that help the most in your spiritual growth (read: challenging relationships).

3. Avoiding meditation or time alone spent in reflection. Isn’t it funny that in Western society today it’s so common for people to express disbelief at the idea of enjoying spending extended periods of time in solitude? “Like, OMG, what would you do?!” Spending regular periods alone is important to your spiritual growth, as is regular meditation. The inner landscape can be infinitely more compelling than the outer world.

4. Mistaking New Age inspiration, such as “you can delete all of your karma in a blink of an eye, all you have to do is believe that you can” for spiritual truth. Look, we’re all for inspiration and getting inspired (did you know that initiates in select ancient mystery schools would shout “I am inspired!” on cue?), but it better be rooted in truth or you’re just wasting your time and money with New Age escapism.

5. Ignoring the other spiritual laws besides the law of attraction. Although we acknowledge that it can be tempting to focus exclusively on the law of attraction and to ignore any other (prevailing) spiritual laws, doing so will only set you up for major disappointment.

For example, the law of predestination/fate/destiny (all these words have the same meaning) dictates that, on a soul level (not your personality, which you shed at death), you select your major predestined life circumstances of each lifetime, before incarnating. Our findings show this to be valid, even if your personality in this life is not aware of it and even if you don’t believe in predestination/fate/destiny. Nobody cheats their fate, no matter how much they practice the law of attraction. You’re in luck, however, if your personal destiny matches your desires and the better you know yourself, the more likely it will.

Although it’s almost impossible to avoid all New Age, spiritual traps, if you watch out for the ones outlined above you will save an enormous amount of time and money.
