What Would Life Be Like if Everyone Had Lie Detectors? 


Share Button
A 2002 University of Massachusetts study about lying found that 60% of people lied during a 10 minute conversation. The average person told two to three lies in that 10 minutes, most didn’t even realize they were doing so, and men and women lied about the same amount.

Psychologist Robert S. Feldman says. “It’s so easy to lie. We teach our children that honesty is the best policy, but we also tell them it’s polite to pretend they like a birthday gift they’ve been given. Kids get a very mixed message regarding the practical aspects of lying, and it has an impact on how they behave as adults.”

You can’t force someone to tell the truth, but Imagine what life would be like with personal lie detectors (perhaps a smart phone application of the future?). With such technology, everyone would be forced to tell the truth at all times, which wouldn’t be very pleasant for some people.The Lies People Tell

Politicians would find it more challenging to win over voters with stirring speeches. They would instead be judged on their true intent and actions. When a politician says one thing, but means another, your lie detector would go off and you’d hear a “beep!” Personal agendas would become obvious and Washington might actually enact useful legislation.

Husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends would no longer be able to stretch the truth in order to keep the peace, or hide their behavior. “That other woman doesn’t mean anything to me.” Beep! “I got pregnant by accident.” Beeeeeep!

People would be forced to practice absolute sincerity in the workplace–no more corporate treachery and duplicity. “I love my boss and I’ve never back-stabbed any of my coworkers.” Beep! “Our corporate mission is not mainly about profit” Beeeeeeeep!

Children wouldn’t be able to get away with anything, and parents would be held accountable for everything.

What about the little lies you tell yourself? Even though they can make life easier to deal with at times, your personal lie detector would help you be brutally honest with yourself, helping you to become self-actualized more quickly (and possibly go crazy from always having to squarely face reality).

Delusion

Delusion can be harmless, such as with children fantasizing, or dangerous, as with conniving, powerful dictators. Someone who is truly delusional can fool a lie detector if they really believe they’re telling the truth, so make sure to buy the Delusion Detector add-on application to cover all your bases. Just be aware that it won’t allow you to wear rose-colored glasses when perceiving the veracity of your love relationships, and will deal a serious blow to excessive romantic fantasy. At least it could potentially save you a lot of heartache.

What is Truth?

There can be different versions of the truth, depending upon one’s perspective, but the truth is usually very simple.

Seasoned liars and sociopaths can be very creative with their version of the truth, giving new meaning to the art of rationalization and deceit, twisting reality to conform to their agenda.

Try to be Understanding

Find it in your heart to feel compassion for those who live a life of denial and delusion. After all, the majority of dishonesty, we believe, is the subconscious defense type used to protect the self from the pain of truth, not the malicious type.

Beneath the self-deception, which most people exhibit in various degrees, there’s a vulnerability and a lack of courage to live life more honestly; it is often learned early in childhood as a coping mechanism. Very few people are capable of living their lives in complete honesty.

After all is said and done, the truth tends to bubble up to the surface. People on their deathbeds realize things that weren’t as obvious before. After they cross over, we believe, based on life between life and past life research, there is no denial, dishonesty, or delusion on the other side. Everyone, regardless of what their faith was (or lack of it) while incarnated, reviews their lifetime and becomes aware of everything they did, to themselves and others, the “good” and the “bad,” not in judgment but for awareness and understanding. Imagine what life would be like if everyone was taught from a young age that everything you say, do, and intend is recorded in an invisible spiritual ledger. If this were true, and we believe it is, no one gets away with anything by pretending their negative actions are justified, trying to evade detection, or confessing their sins.

Dishonesty is one of the more easily discerned personality facets through handwriting analysis, and you have a built-in lie and delusion detector. It’s called your intuition. You can develop it through regular meditation. The more you meditate, the more you will be able to perceive the simple truth about yourself, situations, and others.

Human History as You Know it is Wrong


Share Button
In your quest for truth, empirical, objective research is imperative and can be done by almost anyone. If you choose to, you can find great clarity in matters such as health and wellness, your love relationships, and current events.However, even the most obvious findings, when they contrast with conventional standards, aren’t always recognized, or even permitted to see the light of day in some instances.

Take the case of the Great Pyramid, which was supposedly built around 2500 BC. The science authorities reject the theories of “amateurs” and “conspiracy theorists” who suggest that the drilled holes (possibly made by a laser-like tool) in sections of the interior of the Great Pyramid far surpass the primitive methods of the ancient Egyptians. It’s estimated that the holes could only be drilled by a drill that had 500 times the force of today’s most sophisticated drills.

Then there is the water erosion damage of the Sphinx, and the sea salt within the Queen’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid, which suggest that the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are far older than previously thought.

And what about the 2000 ton+ blocks of stone at various ancient sites that humans could not move with our modern technology today? Vibration, or sound technology is a possible answer.

Don’t forget about the famous Egyptian hieroglyphics that very clearly depict, what appear to be, airplanes, helicopters, cars, submarines, and other modern-day technology.

Many other archeological finds throughout history are totally at odds with accepted orthodoxies, like the notion that the first civilization on this planet dates back to about 6000 BC (Sumerians).

Below we list archeological finds from modern times that, if authenticated, change history:

–A Phoenix Gazette article in 1909 featured a cave in the Grand Canyon leading to underground tunnels which contained Egyptian and Asian-looking artifacts, statues, mummies, hieroglyphs, etc., dating to as early as 2000 BC. The Smithsonian Institute became involved in the find.

It suggests that ancient travelers came to America long before Columbus. The fictional movie, “The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon,” is based on the site.

There’s a theory that an ancient Asian culture called the Kam, who were known as voyagers, are connected to this find. Their ancestry is linked to the early Egyptians.

–In 1877, in Tuolumne County, California, while forging the Montezuma tunnel, relics including a mortar and pestle were found. The exact location of the find relative to the bed-rock suggests they are about 33 million years old.

–While drilling an artesian well in Illinois, a copper coin-like object with human figures and symbols on it was found in rock deposits. According to information supplied by the Illinois State Geological Survey, the deposits of rock in which the coin was found are between 200,000–400,000 years old. The find suggests the lost culture it belonged to had an economic system.

–Semi-ovoid, man-made metallic tubes were found embedded in 65 million year-old Cretaceous chalk in France.

–A human skeleton was found in layers of rock, 90 feet down in southern Illinois, that dates back over 300 million years.

–An electrical device resembling a spark-plug was found in coal 3000 feet below the surface in a coal mine in Europe.

–Radioactive evidence found in remote desert areas of India, along with relics associated with an unidentified, lost culture suggest atomic bombs have wiped out cultures prior to recorded history.

–Apparent man-made walls comprised of uniform blocks buried in coal have been found in numerous coal mines, such as in Ohio, Oklahoma, and in Europe. Most date back to over 200 million years ago.

–Perfectly round hematite balls dating back 2 billion years were found in mines in South Africa. One theory is that they were game pieces, others say they could have been part of a weapon system.

Evidence suggests that many human-based cultures have been lost on this planet, going back hundreds of millions of years. 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs were wiped out, along with, very possibly, other civilizations.

Some evidence points to the idea that humans go back over 500 million years on this planet. If you figure one moderately advanced civilization every 50,000 years or so, conservatively estimated, you have about 2000 civilizations over the course of only 100 million years.

In answering the question of why we don’t find extensive evidence of lost civilizations, it’s estimated to take only about 150,000 years or less for even the most well-built man-made structures, such as skyscrapers, to dissolve into dust, and that’s not considering the impact of massive natural (or man-made) disasters, such gigantic asteroids colliding with Earth. Such collisions don’t just make a big hole in the desert, or harmlessly splash into the ocean. As they puncture the atmosphere and collide with the planet, they bring raging infernos, tidal waves, and earthquakes to entire continents, if not the entire planet, and send up dust clouds that block the sun’s rays.

When you review the original scientific documentation by the experts who made the shocking discoveries (skip the textbook/academic interpretations), you find all sorts of evidence of extremely ancient human existence, such as from 100s of millions of years ago.

Considering all the evidence, the traditional theory of evolution appears to be invalid, although a variation of it could be plausible, in our view.

It’s common to join the herd mentality and embrace prevailing beliefs without questioning the evidence, or lack of it. Humans generally want to belong, believe, and conform to accepted norms. But that approach means they largely avoid critical thought and stop thinking for themselves.

What in your life do you assume to be true that may not be?

2016-2018: Start of Major Financial Calamity for World’s Economies

Share Button

Could the U.S. and the rest of the world be headed for a dire financial crisis, one that could even dwarf the most recent economic downturn, which is considered to be the worst since the great depression?

Although we mostly avoid mundane predictions such as international policy /economic concerns and earthquakes, and focus instead on private individuals and business consulting, since the late 1990s we’ve repeatedly noticed distinct, extremely off-putting cyclical timing patterns (negative or positive extremes are easy to spot) in the comprehensive charts of countless individuals and entities that alert us to a specific period of time in the future.

We’ve been saying for years that we believe the period of 2016-2018 is the start of an overwhelming financial crisis, possibly much worse than the 2000/2001 stock market collapse, and the 2008/2009 credit crisis. 2016 appears to be the peak of the financial markets and economic escalation, with the giant reverse beginning as early as 2016 and as late as 2018, but more likely as late as 2017.

An aside, from our perspective it’s much, much easier to assess financial prospects of individuals versus financial markets, corporate entities, entire economies, etc.; during economic calamities some individuals fare worse than others, and the degree is reflected in the patterns of their unique comprehensive charts including the checks and balances of our systems of analysis. The red-flagged time-frame of 2016–2018 has appeared over and over in so many charts that we have to bring it to your attention.

Please note, to be taken seriously, in our view, any professional making mundane predictions must list all public predictions–the ones they got wrong and right, on their website. No one is 100% accurate, but there must be a clear record of their successes and failures. Unfortunately, highlighting the hits exclusively and fabricating the successes is all too common in the professional psychic industry (and financial investment industry).

Our view is that there will be temporary downturns during the next major long-term upswing in the financial markets, which we believe will start as early as late 2010. By late 2011, the U.S. financial markets will have begun a dramatic, long-term escalation, but of course you will see occasional, now-common, heavy volatility along the way.

If you find yourself asking from 2011 through 2015 if a particular financial markets’ correction is the culminating collapse that will finally lead to feasible government policies (unlike the current ones) being put into action, it won’t be. You’ll know when the concluding crash happens and you won’t have to ask. It will be that big.

We believe that between 2011 and 2016-2018 will be known as the roaring teens period for the financial markets (especially the U.S. markets), and thus for the world’s major economies, and that many people will forget about the fact that booms frequently end in busts, especially when the foundation of the recovery is built on unsustainable economic policies.

What will cause the disaster in 2016–2018?

What’s currently happening in Greece may foretell the imminent. The Greek government has been spending and borrowing way beyond its means for years, is being suffocated by debt, and is all but bankrupt. 25% of the Greek workforce are government employees and many have fat pensions and full retirement benefits: 14% of Greeks are government early retirees (at age 50 for women and 55 for men), with the average retirement age of 61. Unfortunately, too many Greeks have become used to excessive government entitlement programs and since such programs have to be downsized to deal with economic reality, they are outraged.

Why Greece Isn’t Really Saved

Although many financial experts are now saying the Greek Tragedy has been averted with a financial rescue plan by the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, Simon Black, Senior Editor of the website SovereignMan, says, “…anyone with two brain cells to rub together recognizes that Europe’s economic woes cannot be contained with more paper money… and now the problem just became $1 trillion worse.”

“Battling back from an economic crisis requires hard work, savings, and minimal disruption from the government. There’s no magic pill, entitlement program, or paper money bomb that will suddenly make things better.”

“Instead, governments should be curtailing social benefits that encourage people to be lazy, while simultaneously stripping taxes to the bare bones in order to give entrepreneurs and investors the proper motivation to work hard, take risks, and hire employees.”

“These things are not happening, nor will they ever happen in the foreseeable future. And so, backed by Europe’s trillion dollar pledge, Greece will likely go back to business as usual… spending money that it doesn’t have, and making its problems exponentially worse.”

The U.S. is on the Same Path

Even though the European debt crisis may appear to be under control by the end of 2010, it’s to be expected that Europe, including Greece, America, and Japan are heading for a financial brick wall with government spending and regulations out of control and funny-money solutions. The causes of previous financial crises mirror how politicians are handling the problems now, which will only serve to create the next crisis.

Although the overall message we relay here isn’t very optimistic, everything is cyclical, and there will be more prosperous times after the coming financial catastrophe we speak of. We believe that the U.S. won’t cease to exist for at least another 200 years, and the U.S. will likely shock many with its resiliency and subsequent economic triumphs.

The root (or at least a major part) of the next financial calamity, as outlined above by Simon Black, now seems obvious. It is clear to us that the world’s governments will not have the foresight or ability to act and change the path we’re on until after the next huge disaster.

Just keep this in mind when the financial markets are soaring in the upcoming years: When things look too good to be true, remember that they usually are. Capitalize on the trends, but avoid excessive risk.

Metaphysical Terms 101: Basics, Misconstrued and Misused 

Share Button

Misunderstandings regarding metaphysics and spirituality abound. Our empirical research since the 1980s has allowed us to realize, what we believe to be, the authentic meanings of the following spiritual terms.

Be cautious of “updated” definitions and alternative versions of these important terms, as in many cases they have been construed to fit the author’s agenda and profit goals. Redefining spiritual truths is like re-writing history–it’s misleading and disrespectful to your audience and the ancient sages and philosophers who worked tirelessly to enlighten the world.

Mystic: This word can conjure up images of crazy old men with long, white beards or worse, thanks to Hollywood.

The American Heritage dictionary defines mysticism as consciousness of transcendent reality or of God through deep meditation or contemplation. Mystic is defined as of or relating to religious mysteries or occult rites and practices; one who practices or believes in mysticism.

We add to the term mystic the following: a spiritually sensitive individual and, or one who is actively involved in personal growth and self-realization, and who searches deeply into the meaning of life. Therefore, we believe many of you reading this article are mystics.

Metaphysics: This word sounds complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. Meta means beyond, so metaphysical translates into beyond the physical. It’s the field of philosophy concerned with the study of the nature of existence, beings, space, time, and causality.

Higher-self: Your super-consciousness or sixth sense. You could also refer to it as your “God-self.” This is that mysterious side of yourself that you access under meditation and, or, for example, when you have piercing psychic insight about the future.

Destiny: The bulk of the conditions and key circumstances in your life which are planned out by your soul before incarnating. This, however, doesn’t mean you can’t influence (see the next definition) and make the most of your life.

This is one of the most misused and misunderstood spiritual words, especially among those we call “New Age cheerleaders” (inspirational-focused authors). They claim to be able to show you how to “create” or “change” your destiny. Wouldn’t that be nice? Whatever you want, it’s yours! Well, we believe the reputable ancient mystics were right: Destiny is fixed and already in motion when you are born. Just like you can’t sober up right after downing several drinks, you can’t skip the karma you have carried into this life.

Free Will: How you react to your destiny or the events that “happen to you” is your free will. You have free will to “create” and “manifest” what you’d like, as long as that goal is within the confines of your destined path.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you want something and no matter how clear your intent and how devoted you are to getting it, if it’s not part of your destiny, it’s not going to happen. The cheerleaders (and poets) fail to mention this, as their followers realizing the cold, hard spiritual realities of life would mean less seminar revenue and fewer book sales.

Are your main choices destined? We believe so. As we outline a person’s past and future circumstances through our work, it does appear to us that even the key “choices” they make are predestined. We’ve also found that your richest rewards are also predetermined, so have faith that you will realize what you’ve earned. More information can be found in our free download, Direct Your Destiny.

Taking note of these theories and incorporating the philosophies into your spiritual awareness, after testing them yourself, will save you an enormous amount of time and heartache. At the same time, be sure to objectively weigh other points of view.

6 More Spiritual Protection Tricks

Share Button

Cosmic debris is everywhere, and if you’re not careful and don’t protect yourself, it can interfere with your life and cause havoc. Capitalize on your spiritual and mind power and make the most of your life within the framework of your unique destiny and karma by employing potent spiritual protection techniques.

Since we encounter other-dimensional energies, some positive, others not so positive, on a regular basis, we have learned how to interpret the level of benevolence and protect ourselves to avoid disruption and interference.

Apply the 6 methods below to make your life more Light-filled, peaceful, and hassle free.

Purifying Fireball

Imagine a massive, searing, white Light fireball slowly moving up from your feet through your energy field, and beyond your physical body above you. Allow it to take with it all the dark energy and cosmic garbage you might have picked up during your day.

Protective White Light Force-field

The concept is similar to the one above, but this stays with you and provides a protective barrier. Just make sure to allow positive, loving energy in.

White Light Downpour

Allow a concentrated, broad laser-beam of white Light to pour down on you, filling every living cell with purifying energy. It’s so potent, it even makes the ground under you glow.

Cut The Dark Cords

Imagine any and all harmful emotions and energies with and, or connected to you as dark cords leading to the original source. Meditate and imagine, along with a protective white Light surrounding you, these threatening cables being pulled together and lined up in front of you, miles into the distance. Then manifest an enormous guillotine of white Light coming down from the sky, severing the festering mess like a knife through butter. The cords will writhe and thrash about, losing their energy force (which was sapping your power), as you cleanly pull the gory roots out of your energetic body (particularly from your gut/solar plexus). Immediately fill the space left by the cords with brilliant, healing, white Light. Some of these negative cords were with you since you were a kid, some are new, and many are links to those from the past and are no longer needed. Get in the habit of staying cord-free.

White Light Sword

After a radio interview we did last year, that night, while in a meditative state, Scott was approached by an aggressive demon. The figure appeared to be warning him to stay away from the new friend, the radio host. Scott was more annoyed than fearful and successfully employed the white Light sword technique to fend off the aggressor.

Keep this multi-purpose spiritual instrument ready on your hip. It extends as far as needed, even many thousands of miles, and you’re always prepared to bat away, preferably to the Light, any spiritual interference or use it to help those in need (if they have your permission). But remember to only use it in defense, and not in a harmful way (unless they’re really asking for it- joking!).

Forest Meditation

Here’s a brief exercise you can use to become more grounded, protected, and aware at the same time. Focus your energy at your breastplate or third eye area. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in through your nose, then exhale through your mouth. Visualize yourself walking down a path in a beautiful forest full of huge redwood trees. Stop and sit with your back against one of these majestic trees. Feel the tree’s energy. Notice how the tree climbs way up into the sky, and is also grounded deep into the

Earth with its roots. Now feel the sun’s rays shining down on you, surrounding and protecting you. Bask in the sunshine. Feel the warm breeze. Now notice how you’re surrounded by beautiful red, orange, yellow, pink, light blue, dark blue, and violet flowers. If you’d like, imagine a friendly animal approaching and giving you an insightful message–feel or listen for their thoughts/words. You can visit this peaceful, safe place any time you feel the need or desire.

Get creative in developing your spiritual protection devices. Remember, your imagination and the power of belief will make them real. Make a daily habit of it and you’ll stay free of cosmic junk.

Psychic Protection Tricks

Share Button

It’s always a good idea to remember to spiritually protect yourself. Just as there is filth in the physical world, spiritual debris is everywhere. Thoughts are things, they create your reality within the framework of your personal karma and fate, and you can capitalize on this mind dynamic to your great advantage.

We both frequently encounter lost souls and other various other-dimensional energies, most often when we are in semi-sleep or meditative states in our respective homes.

Spirit Visitations

Stephen recently moved into a new home and has been visited by several lost souls, some harmless and some not so nice. One of them thought it was funny to slowly drag the covers off him on three separate occasions in the early morning hours. Since the home was new and never lived in, he wasn’t expecting so much spiritual activity. But after learning that the area was full of crack houses 5-10 years ago, it made sense. He later found out that two neighbors have also experienced unusual activity in their homes, such as hearing heavy footsteps on wood floors in the middle of the night, door handles rattling, and their cats appearing to have strong reactions to unseen energies.

Addictions Keep Spirits Earthbound

In our experience, drug and alcohol (or other addictive or fear-based activity) infested areas attract earth-bound and dark energies who are looking for the related fix. They were addicted before they left their bodies and stick around looking for more instead of going to “the light.”

This theory, along with weakened defenses due to excess, explains why some addicts can have multiple lost souls feeding off their compulsion. Personality changes, hearing voices in or outside of your head that offer off-putting, even destructive ideas and having sudden cravings that you didn’t have before are some clues to spirit attachment (which is common) or spirit possession (which is rare). An extreme case of possession would be like the Exorcist, which was exaggerated (head spinning around, etc.), but who hasn’t been involved with an ex who behaved this way (kidding)?

Parade of Entities and Souls

Before Scott’s neighbor relocated about 1.5 years ago, he would regularly see a parade of spiritual activity through his bedroom late at night. It seemed as though the spirit hitch-hikers who were with this respectful and pleasant, yet hard-drinking neighbor would get bored and wander over. One happened to be a slouching, depressed-looking, slowly wandering-by youth with what looked like dyed blond hair who may have been a suicide victim. Energetically guiding the soul to the light with a telepathic message “there’s nothing to fear” appeared to help the soul move on. Many others shielded their eyes with dark sunglasses to mask one of the blatant marks of sinister energy: shadowy, ill-looking, and dark, or red eyes.

We expect that many of you have similar stories, especially if you are spiritually sensitive and, or your spiritual disciplines keep you half on the other side most of the time.

Along with using a healing audio to keep the space clear and himself protected, Stephen began using a new technique to guard against any stray souls who wandered in during the middle of the night. The following, along with some preferred by Scott, are techniques that can work for you too. The more often you visualize the images, or just trust that they are there, the easier it will be to do and the more real it will become.

4 Psychic Protection Tricks

White Light Tornado

Every night before bed, visualize or feel a huge (always clockwise) white Light tornado filling your bedroom, home, and car, taking away dark energy, sending it to the Light, and leaving behind a clear, peaceful, and energized space.

Posts of White Light with Crystals

Visualize or feel posts of white Light with crystals in each of the four corners of your room and home, with white Light walls connecting them. Then do the same for your bed. You can even ask guides (of the Light!), Archangel Michael or Archangel Raphael to stand guard for you. After doing this for several days you may actually feel the crystal and Light barrier around your bed as very soothing yet energizing and healing.

White Light Metal Detector

Visualize a protective white Light metal detector similar to the kind found at airports, to scan and screen all energies entering your home or personal space. Ask for spiritual security guards of the Light to help make sure only positive energy gets through.

White Light Pentagram

At least twice daily, draw a huge pentagram in imaginary white Light under you and around you. Due to the power of your mind, belief, and repetition, this powerful force-field will become real. In the very least, it will engage your subconscious mind to help you avoid attracting negativity.

You have free will to use the above techniques or generate your own unique spiritual protection methods. It’s within your power to protect yourself from other-dimensional trash and be clear, calm, and happy so that you can make the most of your life, within your fate.

10 Ways to Make Your Hedonism Vacation Spiritual

Share Button

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 Tips For Self-improvement Acceleration With Subliminal MP3s

Share Button

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Power of Gratitude


Share Button

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 Forgiveness Tips

Share Button

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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