The Spiritual Side of Reparations

Share Button

Whether or not you believe descendants of black slaves in the USA should receive reparations as compensation for that terrible time in US history, there’s no denying the generations of abuse and mistreatment they endured. In this article we’re not going to debate the issue, but look at the spiritual side of reparations.

Almost every ancient civilization had slaves and, sadly, it’s still happening all over the world. According to Time magazine, almost 14 million Indians live like slaves. Reuters reports one in ten people in North Korea are modern slaves.

If you look at slavery with the viewpoint that you only live one life, it seems even more unfair. Why should some people have to live as slaves, while others are born into a life of opulence and freedom? But when you add the understanding of reincarnation to the equation, it’s clear an injustice in one life will be balanced in another.

For example, Stephen has perceived himself as a black slave in two different lifetimes, once as a male who was brought over to the USA from Africa and once as a female who was born into slavery in the USA. Obviously, they were difficult lives; they had no rights and worked all day, every day, with no compensation, and they were treated horribly (much more so in the male incarnation).

But those were only two lifetimes of many Stephen’s soul has lived and his soul (not his personality) chose those lives for various lessons and growth. Also, due to the law of karma, he was paying back some people in those lives, he was paid back by others in future lives, and the people who mistreated him then got what was coming to them in future lives.

It’s important to note that from a spiritual point of view, slavery is not about spiritual punishment from a judgmental God or anyone else on the other side, that these are only the experiences of Stephen’s soul, and other souls may have chosen slave lifetimes for totally different reasons.

Related to this example is why forgiveness is important. As the black male slave, he died in that life extremely angry and resentful of all who had destroyed his happy life and family in Africa, taken him against his will to the USA, and treated him horrifically.

He carried those extreme emotions into his next life. As an enraged and out of control white male in the Wild West who felt the world owed him, he wreaked havoc wherever he went, robbing people for a living, and creating lots of negative karma for himself. A future lifetime as the female black slave was in part to make up for the criminal cowboy lifetime.

If Trevor Hayes, the name of the irate cowboy Stephen perceived in regression, had known (or cared) about forgiveness and karma then, he might have used his free will in a more positive way. But he didn’t and created unnecessary problems for his future, and that was part of a string of lives where he learned about forgiveness.

Whatever your stance on reparations, the same debate could be used for other groups who were mistreated. For example, the Italian and Irish immigrants in the USA during the late 1800s and early 1900s who were harshly discriminated against, the internment of Japanese Americans in the 1940s, women who were denied the right to vote or own property, Jews throughout history who were persecuted incessantly, and homosexuals and transgender individuals who were harassed and murdered. And let’s not forget the unattractive (by current conventional standards) and overweight, and others who didn’t fit in, being ostracized.

Is the world a place of justice? It doesn’t seem like it, unless you are open-minded enough to look into reincarnation, both that of your soul and others. Only then will you realize all actions really do return to sender, and revenge is a bad idea.

We hope that eventually as more people understand this viewpoint, all racism and mistreatment of others, especially simply for being different, will decrease dramatically. You can do your part by treating everyone as you want to be treated, with kindness and respect.

10 Spiritual Reasons Your Sex Life is Terrible

Share Button

Today, sex is most commonly viewed as a physical and emotional act, with little or nothing to do with spirituality.

Couples experiencing sex life problems typically are unaware of or ignore the spiritual link. Most identify the causes of a sexless relationship to be one or more outlined in this today.com article, such as communication problems, lack of trust, stress, physical problems including hormonal imbalances, feelings of betrayal, and more. Sometimes even a lack of quality protein (not soy) can cause your sex drive to nosedive.

But you and your sex life have a spiritual side, even if you aren’t consciously aware of it.

Below we list ten potential spiritual reasons for your sex life problems.

1. One or both of you are unknowingly enduring a lost soul attachment or possession. In other words, you have hitchhikers on-board.

Once a person dies, their soul goes to the Light (i.e., “heaven” or whatever you want to call the other side, the unseen dimensions). But sometimes a soul refuses to go to the Light and hangs around on the mundane planes, as a ghost. These lost souls may attach themselves to those whose auras are temporarily dimmed (such as through stress or excess alcohol). The interference can be draining to the host, leaving little energy for sex. Or, the parasitic ghost invading your aura may not like your partner and may unconsciously convince you to avoid him or her, causing more problems in the relationship.

2. You or your partner are harboring dark energy or even demonic energy and demons. Just as with lost soul attachment, a person can unknowingly open themselves up to dark energy or even demons through stress, excess alcohol, drug use, or extreme anger or depression. This can easily zap your energy and leave you uninterested in sex.

3. Hexes, spells, or curses, even from past incarnations, may afflict a person, interfering with his or her sex life.

4. You were with your current partner in a past life, but he or she was your parent, grandparent, sibling, or in another platonic role and your subconscious memory of that makes sex with your partner unappealing.

5. Your current partner was your enemy in a past life and the subconscious memory greatly interferes with your relationship and sex life.

6. You and your partner were lovers in a previous life, but he or she betrayed you and the painful subconscious memory makes it impossible to enjoy sex with him or her today.

7. You’ve had a series of past lives where sex was forbidden, such as in a religious order. Subconsciously, you still believe sex, besides to procreate, is wrong and you can’t allow yourself to enjoy it.

8. You were punished, tortured, or put to death in a past life for having sex, perhaps with the soul who is your partner today. You subconsciously associate sex with pain or death, blocking a healthy sex life.

9. In a distant past life, you promised with all your heart to forever devote yourself to one specific lover, your “soul mate,” and you still haven’t dissolved the pact and let go of him or her. That long-lost forgotten love, who isn’t incarnated now, is still interfering with your love life today, 1700 years, and multiple lifetimes and lovers later.

10. The compatibility, measured through comprehensive astrology and numerology, between you and your romantic partner is horrible. At first, things seemed fine, but eventually reality set in. Challenging compatibility reflects one or more of the aforementioned past life scenarios. For example, past life enemies, in the extreme, are easy to identify through in-depth astrology and numerology.

A healthy sex life need not be rare when addressing the root, spiritual causes, which can increase the likelihood of a mutually satisfying sex life, if the bond is conducive to it.

Identical Twins — Evidence of The Soul

Share Button

Conventional scientists say that identical twins are the result of a fertilized egg in the womb that splits into equal parts, thus two identical humans.

Modern astrologers claim that twins, or strangers born around the same time in the same place, have similar charts.

But if you’ve ever known more than a few sets of identical twins, you know that even though they look similar, their personalities and lives can be quite different.

Why is that? Their environment can shape them in different ways. But shouldn’t two people with almost identical brains and bodies react to environmental factors the same way, thus be identical in every way? Perhaps, if humans were only hunks of meat with brains. But they’re not, due to one important thing: The soul.

If you’ve ever investigated your soul through past life regression, you found that your personality today is not only the result of your genes and environment, but also your past life experiences. Your personality in this life, as well as every area of your life, is heavily influenced by your past lives.

Even identical twins have different souls, and thus different karma and past lives. Out of the hundreds of people who have asked us why we, as identical twins, are so different in some ways, few of them ever considered that human bodies are just costumes for the soul in order to act out its role on Earth.

We looked more alike as infants, yet as we grew older our unique souls shined through and reflected distinct differences. A cynic may claim it’s because we’re not as “identical” as other twins. But we’ve been acquainted with many sets of identical twins and in every case, no matter how much they look alike, the personality differences are clear. In some cases, the contrast in character is striking.

Astrology is a great tool to outline the personality and learn about the uniqueness of a soul. Unfortunately, psychologically-based Western, modern astrology, the most popular astrology today (often in the form of popular but too-general-to-be-accurate astrology reports and horoscopes), is too imprecise. Therefore, one cannot use this form of astrology to effectively determine the

differences between identical twins, or to delve deeply into the personality and inclination of personal fate of an individual.

Before superficial forms of the science became popular about 100 years ago, other forms of ancient astrology offered much more accuracy, inherently including a comprehensive, non-trivial approach. These ancient forms of astrology include Hindu, Greek, Arabic, and Egyptian.

However, we’ve found that even these ancient forms of astrology aren’t the best tools to determine the differences between twins and strangers born at about the same time and in the same place, at least not exclusively.

What is? Comprehensive numerology and handwriting analysis is very accurate for this purpose, and to learn a great deal about anyone. We recommend these tools to supplement other forms of personality analysis.

Handwriting analysis for determining subconscious and conscious personality traits along with comprehensive numerology for predicting personal fate and delineating character are invaluable tools for the following: career and child guidance; duration of partnerships and events; determining employee or romantic compatibility; identifying personality challenges and strengths; forecasting financial, family, career, or love probabilities; planning a business or career endeavor; security investigations; legal issues, political strategy; and any other part of life that has to do with compatibility, predictive, or personality analysis.

Now you know that even if a set of twins is biologically identical, their souls can be quite different. And while modern, western astrology can be helpful for very general timing and personality analysis, ancient astrology along with comprehensive numerology and handwriting analysis can tell you much more.

Hidden Factors That Form Human Compatibility

Share Button

You’ve been lied to about what makes two people compatible. As long as two people enjoy mutual physical attraction and share basic likes such as baseball games and pizza, and dislikes such as cold weather, they are compatible, right? Wrong.

Isn’t compatibility just a matter of a couple working hard to make their differences bearable? Nope. Real compatibility isn’t a choice. Patience and understanding don’t cancel out innate strife.

Our long-term findings show that innate compatibility isn’t something you make, but something two people naturally possess, or not.

Below we list six factors that form human compatibility.

1. Personality red flags, otherwise known as subconscious fears and defenses, such as resentment, domineering tendencies, anger, dishonesty, and scores of others can break even the most harmonious bond. You won’t identify these through personality self-tests, since everyone is on their best behavior during these evaluations. Handwriting analysis is our favorite way to identify personality challenges and strengths.

2. Physical attraction helps compatibility, and you need chemistry along with it. Chemistry is that special something that transcends physical magnetism. You can be physically attracted to someone, yet be repulsed by him or her at the same time. This is more easily exemplified as you interact in person, versus seeing a photo of the individual.

3. Emotional intelligence may sometimes be overlooked as a key relationship factor, yet if person A has the emotional intelligence of a teenager and person B is mature beyond his years, the connection could very well be an up-hill battle.

4. Similar mental faculties are important for relationship longevity. If person A is an intellect, enjoys spirited debates, and “thinking too much” gives person B a headache, the connection may not endure. Mental and emotional intelligence are also effectively measured by handwriting analysis.

5. Past lives together are the root of your like or dislike for any given person and relate strongly to chemistry, mentioned above. You may be physically attracted to someone who looks almost exactly like person A, but person A for some reason disgusts you.

We can’t prove that reincarnation exists, but our long-term findings convince us that it’s a valid theory.

Let’s consider a past life scenario involving Chris and Terry. Although they’ve been together in many past lives, a shared ancient Chinese lifetime is one of the most momentous, and the beginning of their long history. Chris was a successful merchant and possessed many slaves, including Terry. Terry endured a lifetime of abuse as Chris’s slave, yet Terry had it good compared to many slaves during that time. Terry resented Chris and carried that energy into successive lifetimes.

Today, they are together in an intimate relationship, with zero conscious memory of their past lives together. Although their bond is rewarding and they love each other, they’ve suffered problems in their relationship. Terry has never been an angry person, yet feels seemingly unexplained anger toward Chris, and Chris recognizes it. It’s a thorn in both of their sides and interferes with their relationship.

Fortunately, they were both open to the idea of past life regression therapy, and discovered the root of Terry’s anger toward Chris, the slave-master lifetime. The mere discovery of it, even if it is simply a metaphor, as skeptics like to believe, has dramatically improved their romance.

6. Another important, yet hidden compatibility factor is the innate, unique energy between every two-person connection, and it’s measurable through astrology and numerology.

Extremes in compatibility emphasize our theory. From the very beginning, that new person brought a toxic element to your life. The other person feels the same way. No matter how you try to get along, it just doesn’t work between you two.

Conventional psychology explains such a situation through biases, fears, and defenses. For instance, both people are prejudiced.

However, in the above example, neither you nor the other person are biased or possess any major red flag personality issues. It may be easy to blame the other person for the innate strife, but there’s nobody to blame for terrible, inborn compatibility.

The opposite is true; two people who can’t get enough of each other share a rare, wonderful bond and there’s nothing they can do to alter it either.

Outstanding compatibility either exists between two people, or it doesn’t, and it’s measurable. The truth is, the more challenging your compatibility, the harder you have to work at it to make your relationship tolerable.

The Best Evidence for Reincarnation

Share Button

Cynics say there is no evidence for reincarnation. Based on the presumptions and angry reactions we sometimes receive about the idea of past lives, it seems like some people don’t want any evidence to exist. Maybe they don’t like the idea of having to come back and suffer the consequences of their bad behavior.

Hardcore skeptics of reincarnation who commonly accuse believers of lacking intelligence, usually base their narrow-minded viewpoints on little to no research about the topic. Who is being gullible?

Science-minded skeptics want tangible proof. Do they also discount love, compassion, and other intangible components of the human condition, which are void of physical evidence?

Some people are critical of the concept and people who believe in it because they perceive it as make-believe like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny; they don’t want to appear silly for giving it much thought. Some of these types believe in what they are told to believe in by their parents or others, from a very young age. They adhere to groupthink because there’s safety in numbers. They lack the courage, ability, or interest to think for themselves and consider non-conventional viewpoints.

Others are taught by their religion that it does not exist, so they accept this.

Still others fear what happens after death, which is natural, and they don’t want to think about it. We’re not surprised since so many religious leaders have added fuel to the fire by warning their followers of severe punishment in the afterlife if they don’t follow the prescribed interpretation of right and wrong.

Thanks to 2000+ years of misunderstandings and misinformation about reincarnation and karma, most people don’t give it much thought.

We’re both naturally skeptical and like to look beyond the surface of issues. Instead of accepting the standard view, we like to form our own opinions based on careful consideration. This is the approach we’ve always taken with the topic of reincarnation and related metaphysical subjects, since we began reading about past life regression case histories in the mid 1980s, then began our own regressions in the late 1980s.

We’re confident that if you objectively explore the evidence it will seem logical to at least consider it as a valid possibility for what happens after death.

One of the best collections of evidence for reincarnation was compiled by the late Dr. Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia. He studied over 3000 cases of the past life memories of children over the span of more than 40 years.

Walter Semkiw, MD and Jim Tucker, MD discuss the reincarnation research of Ian Stevenson, MD in this video.They also mention two famous cases, one of which is a woman who was born into a different religion than in her previous life (which is common). As noted in the video description, if everyone accepted this as a possibility, wars over religious differences would end.

The best evidence for reincarnation: Your past life memories in your subconscious mind.

Even if you’re not spiritually sensitive you may have had a past life dream or vision, but didn’t recognize it as such because most people are conditioned from birth to disbelieve in past lives.

We recommend you don’t take our word for it and instead use one of the best methods to explore the subject: past life regression.

Past life regression, when approached correctly with a trained expert or good quality MP3, can give one an intense and healing emotional experience, which is one indication your perceptions might be of real events.

You won’t bring back physical evidence from regression, of course. But if you remain objective, follow the directions, and allow the process to work, it will be difficult to brush off your perceptions as “only imagination,” especially if you’re able to confirm some of the details, such as cultural idiosyncrasies, names, associations, or even addresses for more modern-day lifetimes.

Everyone is entitled to their own personal beliefs and it really doesn’t matter if you can prove spiritual concepts valid or not. However, accepting the possibility of reincarnation is likely to make you more responsible and a better person because you’re more apt to treat others as you want to be treated.

Reincarnation–Response to Anonymous Critic

Share Button

One sure way to generate controversy is to bring up the topic of reincarnation in a group conversation.

In our experience, in the Western world, about 30% will say they believe in it, 40% will express mild skepticism, and 30% will vehemently speak out against it.

Elsewhere in the world, believers are a significantly higher percentage, as the majority of the world embraces the concept of reincarnation in some form or another. They, like us, believe the soul is eternal and “the other side” exists, where souls go after physically incarnating.

Then there are the Atheists who believe that you’re just a piece of meat with a brain, the universe is one big accident, and there aren’t any consequences for your behavior as long as you don’t get caught.

Here’s an e-mail we received recently in response to an article on reincarnation, like we get on a regular basis from those unique individuals who express their hostility to strangers on-line, anonymously. By the way, do these special people also phone strangers, give them a piece of their mind, and then hang up?

“Compete bull—- Karma. One life has enough wisdom to teach anyone the world is an unfair place. There is not a cat in hells chance many would want to relive a life less fortune than others. One life, one death and earth is gone for good with your lifes experiences. One thing is for sure I wont be returning to earth even for a golden pig or any amount of anything.” Anonymous

We’re thrilled Anonymous decided to grace us with his/her wisdom, particularly with corroborating information, supporting his/her contention. Bravo!

We understand that life isn’t easy, and can seem unfair at times. This is especially so if you believe you deserve everything you want.

Below we address some of the usual anti-reincarnation contentions:

1. Conventional science doesn’t approve of reincarnation.

The science authorities haven’t invalidated reincarnation either, so until that point, it’s best to adhere to the spirit of science, and accept it as a valid theory.

Dr. Ian Stevenson spent over forty years scientifically documenting over 3000 cases of past life memories of children from multiple cultures around the world. The evidence certainly suggests the theory of reincarnation is worth considering.

2. People would not choose the horrible experiences they go through if reincarnation is valid.

Your personality wouldn’t, but your soul would in order to continue to grow and to balance karma. Consider your soul to be the parent and your personality, with all its fears, defenses, and biases, the child.

It’s not always the case that a person is enduring karmic retribution for past life dark deeds; sometimes the terrible experience is for other reasons, such as to help bring awareness to the world, or stop it from happening to others in the future.

3. I’d remember my past lives if it were true.

You would remember select past life experiences if you turned off the TV and meditated more often. Besides, you don’t remember everything because it would be too much for your mind to endure all the past traumas, trials, and at the same time, focus on the present, which is most important.

4. Only the present matters, not the past, and reincarnation holds you back.

What really holds you back are deep, subconscious past life memories that are driving your unconscious mind today.

Fear of air travel, fear of being on the open ocean, fear of a particular culture or religion, and all other seemingly unexplainable anxieties, strangely, are frequently assuaged or even eliminated after past life regression to get to the root cause. This is true even if the person doesn’t believe in reincarnation.

The anxious air traveler may have died in a WWII plane crash and the person afraid of the sea may have perished in a typhoon in a fishing boat off the coast of Japan over a thousand years ago. Look to your own fears and anxieties (and strengths and rewarding parts of your life too) for clues about your past.

5. Those into reincarnation always say they were a celebrated historical figure; they can’t possibly have all been the same person. Besides, recorded history goes back only so far and there were fewer people back then than today, so it’s not possible.

Actually, it’s very possible if you consider Earth is only one of millions (possibly billions) of inhabitable planets in this universe where souls incarnate. Don’t be too quick to rule out the theory that many lost civilizations on Earth have vanished without a trace due to massive plate-tectonic shifts and other cataclysms prior to recorded history, and that the population on this planet may have been higher at some point in history than it is today.

Also, our findings show that most people who experience past life regressions don’t perceive being a celebrity or having particularly glamorous lifetimes. We believe those who enjoy fame today have earned it, as have those who suffer infamy. All souls experience all types of existences at some point, in some life, in their progression.

Although you won’t know for sure until you leave this world, perhaps it’s best to entertain the theory of reincarnation if only for humanitarian reasons. If everyone lived their life believing in karma and reincarnation, the world would be a much better place.

A Spiritual Approach to Addiction

Share Button

Most people associate a spiritual approach to addiction with relying on a higher power for help. We do too, but based on our work with the hidden or spiritual side of life, we believe there’s another vital part of the addiction puzzle that most people miss.

Unfortunately, traditional drug and alcohol rehab doesn’t address it. We believe rehab success rates would dramatically improve if they did.

If you or someone you know has unsuccessfully tried to kick a habit or treat an addiction, it may be time to consider the concept of spiritual hitchhikers, or spirit attachment. We’ve found that those we’ve encountered who have a hard time quitting almost always have them onboard.

What are spiritual hitchhikers? After the physical body dies, it is natural for souls to go to the ”Light” or other side. Sometimes they don’t and if they died an addict, they’ll attach to a living human to feed their addiction. Addicts can unknowingly have huge groups of lost souls using them to get a fix.

How do you know if you’re harboring lost souls? One sign is the sudden urge to use drugs, drink, or smoke, or tasting it, when you haven’t used for a long time or never have. Another sign is hearing voices or thinking thoughts urging you to use, which can be easily misinterpreted as your own. If you pay attention, you might notice that it wasn’t really your idea to smoke, have that drink, or use.

Another sign of spirit attachment is a cynical reaction after reading about the phenomenon. If the aforementioned information triggered a negative emotional reaction, disembodied souls might be with you and attempting to control your behavior.

Other signs include feeling blocked, personality changes while under the influence, unexplainable depression, anger, or fears, feelings of being followed or watched, dreams of being chased, and feeling drained.

The most common way lost souls join living humans is through a weakened energy field. This can be the result of drug or excessive alcohol use, extreme negative emotions, illness, sex, or surgery. Lost souls can be anywhere, but hospitals, cemeteries, and bars tend to have more than average.

A Spiritual Approach to Addiction

Always seek professional treatment if you can’t quit on your own. The following are tools you can use before, during, or after treatment. If your will to quit is strong enough, and you are especially spiritually sensitive, the tools below might be enough to kick the habit for some addictions without traditional treatment. These also work for over-eating, excessive shopping, and any other habits you want to curtail.

Spiritual Detox

In addition to releasing spiritual troublemakers, a spiritual clearing expert, script, or MP3 can also remove dark energy and spiritual clutter, which is easy to pick up even for non-addicts. It can also heal emotional scars from this life and past lives.  https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/script/

Past Life Regression

We’ve found in our work that addiction usually started lifetimes ago. For addicts who don’t believe in reincarnation, viewing past lives as a metaphor is just as effective. Uncover and let go of the past lives associated with the addiction or habit with a past life regression expert or past life regression MP3 audio. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/hypnosis-mp3s/

Take Responsibility

We might sound like we are contradicting ourselves when we (partly) blame addiction on entities, and then tell you to take responsibility, but we believe both are important. We agree that some people are more prone to addiction, but they also have free will to take responsibility, seek help, and stay sober.

Depicting addicts as helpless victims encourages them and others to avoid taking responsibility, empowering themselves, and kicking the habit for good. From the perspective of reincarnation and karma, addicts created the problem in past lives and now they need to resolve it.

Hypnosis and Subliminal MP3s

These valuable tools can help overcome addiction with positive programming that changes your perception of the habit, and replaces vices with healthy habits. With regular listening, they can be like the wind at your back, giving you an edge to conquer the habit once and for all. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/subliminals/ 

Meditation

Go inward and overcome the urge to use when you have a craving, and overcome stress. The Let Go MP3 will easily help you reach a meditative state. https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/mp3-music-for-meditation/

The White Light Trick

When you feel a sudden urge to use, try this:

1) Imagine yourself surrounded and permeated by white Light or sunshine.

2) Tell yourself that it’s not your desire to use and let it go.

3) Tell the entity that wants to use that he’ll have to find someone else to feed his addiction. Also tell it to go to the Light (and point upwards). Even if there isn’t an entity present, this exercise will help you detach from the urge to use.

Deciding you want to quit is half the battle. Reaching your goal will be a challenge, but addressing the spiritual side of addiction will make it easier.

The Spiritual Detox™ MP3 or Spiritual Detox script https://spiritualgrowthnow.com/spiritual-detox/ can make quitting a habit or addiction easier, and help you let go of depression, anger, and fear.

Afterlife–Response to Skeptic’s “When You’re Dead You’re Dead”

Share Button

A family member recently told us, “When you’re dead, you’re dead. There’s nothing after this life.”

Everyone has their own opinion, but that surprised us considering all we’ve written about the subject, and since she hadn’t told us her true views before.

We strive for impartiality, so maybe we need to consider her viewpoint further. After all, there is so much confusion surrounding the issue of life after death.

For hundreds of years, radical religious leaders have warned people they’ll go to “hell” for not being of a certain faith, homosexuality, divorce, and other sins like any type of sex other than in the missionary position, in the dark, strictly for procreation with a spouse.

Is it any wonder, with all the talk of behavior deemed to be sinful, atheists and others reject religious notions about the afterlife? (To be fair, not all religious leaders use the sin/fear tactic, and some don’t believe in hell.)

Then there are the woo-woo New Agers who talk about “ascension” and other captivating concepts, but there’s little corroboration in any form to back them up. The New Age has a bad name for a good reason.

We agree that when you die, that’s it for your physical body. And why should anyone believe in souls or the afterlife, especially if they’ve never experienced anything to indicate otherwise?

Well, lots of people have, and it’s important to consider what they say because their insight can explain so much about not only the afterlife, but this life too.

While we cannot physically prove life after death, there are countless people who have been pronounced clinically dead, experienced life after death, and then came back to life and reported what they perceived. Incredibly, most credible descriptions have similar threads.

Some skeptics refuse to look at the evidence, sometimes out of fear of the unknown. Others don’t like the idea of absolute personal accountability that coincides with reincarnation, karma, and life after life.

But for those who are open to exploring more about life after death, below is a partial list of people who share some fascinating information.

Life after death:

Life After Life: The Bestselling Original Investigation That Revealed “Near-Death Experiences by Raymond A. Moody Jr., M.D.

The Afterlife Unveiled: What the Dead are Telling Us About Their World, by Stafford Betty PhD.. Click here for a summary of some of the fascinating findings from his research.

— Pam Reynolds’ near-death experience, during a brain operation, is one of the most interesting and best documented in NDE research. Watch the BBC documentary here.

Countless others have shared their near-death experiences (NDE), ghost sightings, encounters with loved ones who had already died, and readings with credible mediums who act as a conduit between the living and dead. With a little research, you will find plenty of examples that are difficult to reject as imagination or fiction.

Past Lives:

— Return to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children Who Remember Past Lives, by Jim B. Tucker M.D.. Read about four cases from the book here.

A police captain who found evidence of one of his past lives.

— Finally, the work of Dr. Stevenson, former head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia. He spent over 40 years researching over 3000 cases of past life memories of children from all over the world. Many skeptics and scholars agree these cases offer the best evidence yet for reincarnation.

We understand the fear of the unknown about life after death. We also understand the skepticism since countless preachers have warned of the fiery pits of hell if you don’t live up to their opinion of morality. But the more you investigate the subject of life after death, the more it becomes clear there is nothing to fear, this life is a precious opportunity, and death is a transition, not the end.

“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.” Bertrand Russell

“All great truths begin as blasphemies.” George Bernard Shaw

“The universe is wider than our views of it.” Henry David Thoreau

Fate vs. Free Will–Tale of Three Spiritual Seekers

Share Button

The fate vs. free will debate involves three main points of view. Either you believe everything is fated, nothing is fated, or somewhere in between.

Below we outline the three general belief systems regarding fate vs. free will represented through three separate spiritual seekers.

1. The first seeker believes there’s nothing she can do to improve her lot in life. She contends that everything in her life is fated so why bother trying to make it better? Unfortunately, she’s also pessimistic and completely fatalistic.

Of morbid disposition, she spends her free time alone watching TV and hoping she has better circumstances in her next life.

Based on some of the feedback we receive, we’re misunderstood as this type of spiritual seeker. In truth, we’re very different from this type.

2. The second seeker is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the first seeker. He believes anything is possible, no matter what, and shuns the notions of personal fate, karma, and immutable personal adversity.

He is a regular inspirational seminar participant and his library is full of all the New Age best-sellers because the authors of those books, like him, mostly reject the idea of predetermination and immutable personal adversity. It’s all sunshine and rainbows; “You can do it!” We love inspiration, but only if it’s rooted in reality.

Unfortunately, this seeker eventually faces the real world when life happens to him. Circumstances beyond his control destroy his lofty ideals, he feels like a failure because he wasn’t able to create whatever he wanted, and he lives the rest of his life depressed, with a victim consciousness.

Those of this group who do manage to achieve great success display a lack of humility by insisting their will alone manifested their dreams, instead of humbly admitting it was also because fate and karma were on their side, this time.

3. The third seeker embraces the philosophy that most of the key circumstances and events in everyone’s life are fated, acknowledges that everyone has their own unique personal adversity and free will to react to it in a positive way, and that there are many things in life that you can’t change no matter how inspired you get.

But he plays the long game. He believes that those dreams he can’t manifest in this life may very well be reachable in future lives, so he keeps working hard and dreaming. He sees this life as one of many, just like the many years in your life. Keep striving, he believes, and he will get there, in time, and at the very least, reap other benefits along the way.

Being of detached mind and accepting what he can’t change, few things faze the third seeker. Ironically, he is more inspired than the second seeker, in part, because he sees this life as an enormous opportunity that many souls on the other side would like and is grateful for every single day.

Considering the philosophies of fate and reincarnation, in which more than half of the world’s population believes, are valid (these theories have yet to be invalidated), which spiritual seeker will get the most out of life? Clearly, the third one, in our view.

You have nothing to lose by embracing the philosophies of free will, predestination, and reincarnation (only the hopelessly idealistic reject the notion that everyone has unique, unavoidable personal adversity), but you do have much to lose if you take the hapless approach of the first two seekers.

Below we list three ways that will help you make the most of your spiritual journey.

1. Realize what you really want by getting to know yourself better, including your subconscious personality, which is outlined wonderfully by handwriting analysis. Subconscious memory exploration through hypnosis mp3s also works wonders. Once you have self-knowledge, including knowing your timing (outlined excellently by comprehensive astrology and numerology), you stop fighting the path most natural for you.

2. Take the essential steps to reach your goals and work on your discipline if necessary. Katharine Hepburn said, “Without discipline, there’s no life at all.” Your health, relationships of all types, work, and of course achieving your goals all require discipline. Meditation is a good practice that helps you increase your discipline. Subliminal MP3s for self-discipline can give you an extra push if you feel you need it.

3. Make time to dream every day, without limits. We call it “dream-castling” and you can be as outrageous as you want–it’s your imagination. While always keeping in mind your realistic everyday and long-term goals, go wild with your imagination about what things would be like in the best-case scenario.

For example, say you want to write a best-selling book. Imagine what it would be like to help people with what you’ve learned (the hard way). Think of what it would feel like to sell millions of books and improve countless lives, and of course enjoy the money and credibility that would come with it.

While you may not be able to achieve every extravagant desire in this life, there’s always your next life, and what matters most is the experience and what you learn along the way.

Spirituality–The Enlightenment Secret

Share Button

The ultimate goal of many spiritual seekers is to find enlightenment, which is another way to say awakening to spiritual awareness or illumination. A tall order, but with discipline it’s possible to make serious progress on your spiritual path.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It’s a journey of recovery. It’s a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It’s already there.”
Billy Corgan

We’ve found those words of wisdom to be true. As teens in 1981, we recall listening to the song “Spirits in the Material World” by The Police on their album Ghost in the Machine. To us, it meant everyone is a spiritual being having a human experience.

As you mature and your spiritual heritage (soul) emerges, you begin to recover the wisdom you were aware of on the other side, but temporarily forgot. The recovery process would be helped along if every parent encouraged their young children to explore any memories of the other side or past lives (which many children recall up to about age seven), but the memories are usually dismissed as a child’s imagination. Unfortunately, the veil of forgetfulness is further fostered by society; rarely do friends, family, teachers, and neighbors encourage you to go within and rediscover your true essence underneath a lifetime of programming.

We’ve been interested in non-religious spirituality for as long as we can remember. The dead-ends we encountered in our younger years, exploring various spiritual paths, disciplines, and methodologies, piled up like leaves in autumn, but the journey was worth it. Most of the fruitless avenues were heavy on hope and inspiration, and light on reason, or were too superficial to be taken seriously.

Over the course of more than 30 years we’ve managed to identify several reliable spiritual disciplines. Our long-term findings involving meditation, past life regression, psychic perception and comprehensive astrology and numerology lead us to this conclusion: a permanent state of enlightenment, a blissful one where you are completely free of all fears, defenses, and biases doesn’t exist. The secret to enlightenment is that you must work at peeling away the layers of your inner nature (such as through meditation) to make progress and you probably wouldn’t still be incarnated if you didn’t have more to discover.

The reason you can’t completely free yourself from your fears, defenses, and biases is because you can’t control your subconscious mind. It will think what it wants, and you’re powerless over it. However, you can detach from it through meditation, and work with it with tools such as hypnosis and subliminal audios.

Be wary of those who say they never get irritated, upset, angry or experience other “negative” human emotions. It’s not spiritual or normal to project a phony “I’m always blissful and peaceful” facade. Stay clear when that repressed beach ball of emotions finally bursts through the water’s surface while they are under pressure or stress.

Spiritual seekers eventually realize that you can encounter more wisdom in your own backyard than you do in some exotic location on the other side of the planet.

As Harry Nilsson belted out in 1971 on Jump Into the Fire, “You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea, you can jump into the fire, but you’ll never be free.” We’re not sure exactly what he meant, but those words remind us that true freedom, and spiritual satisfaction, are found within, not elsewhere.

“Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.” Ludwig van Beethoven

The most illuminated people you’ll ever meet frequently don’t look like the “spiritual” type. A construction worker, military colonel, waitress, and nurse, for example, may be far more spiritually adept than a priest or a beads, crystals, and caftan wearing author of the spiritual best-seller.

On your journey of enlightenment, wisdom comes from within, and music, prayer, quiet reflection, walks in nature, and regular meditation are all effective ways to remember it.
