On Love

This word is as misunderstood by people as is the purpose for life itself. People chase after Love incessantly as though it were a commodity one could possess. The moment you think you have grasped Love, she evades you, leaving your soul filled with emptiness and longing. Like the wind, Love cannot be seen nor possessed. To understand her you must penetrate the innermost depths of the heart then be willing to patiently wait for her to reveal herself. You must prove yourself worthy and purify your thoughts and actions before Love will unmask herself.

Merging With A Rock And A Battle On Another Plane

Around the time when I met Steven Grant who hypnotized me as detailed near the end of this book in the chapter 'A Journey Back To The Early Beginnings', I met another young man through a mutual friend, let's call him Robert, that I did some energy work with. He was interested in healing and various forms of energy work. He said that he had always been able to affect people with his energy and he could help to open them up to realms far beyond this one. Naturally I was fascinated and was eager to see what might happen so I invited him over.

Some Thoughts On And A Personal Experience With Telepathy

Some Thoughts On And A Personal Experience With Telepathy 1,400 words Since I was a young child I was able to sometimes sense things that people were thinking. Sometimes I would hear actual words. However, I was too shy to ever mention anything or really try to develop it. To be honest, it kind of scared me and I did not think my parents or my pastor or the people at church would welcome such talk from a child who was trying to be a good Christian boy. So I kept quiet and the ability didn't go much further.

To Ourselves Let Us Be True

TO OURSELF LET US BE TRUE: The Clown THE CLOWN He was the life of every party. A master of movement, illusion, and words. He brought merriment and laughter to people. But to him life was meaningless and absurd. People came from afar to see him. He grew more popular over the years. When they looked at him they saw smiles. In the mirror he saw sorrow and tears. One day he asked himself, why am I alone? How can this truly be? “Stop, said a voice inside him. For once please listen to me. Take off the wig, the costume must go. All props must be tossed aside. Lastly

Plugging Away For Our Dream Fulfillment

If we put in the sacred labor, there comes a time when we really begin to get in the flow when it comes to manifesting our dreams. This is when things begin to really get exciting. For many of us, getting to this point can take a long time. I know all about that from experience. It's easy for an aspiring writer to say I want to write the all American novel. Actually from what I've heard people tend to say something like "some day I'd like to write the all American novel." That is a very weak statement, totally lacking devotion, true sincerity or intention.

Let Us Dare To Dream

Let Us Dare To Dream Namaste! Let us stop and breathe in the sweet fragrances and beauty that Mother Nature so freely offers each of us and express our gratitude. Nature’s bounteous, colorful cornucopia reminds us that it is time to dream bigger. It is time to have our soul aroused, our magic awakened, and for our hopes to see the light of day. It is time to dare to dream because Dreams truly do come true. May we never forget that there was a time when our life was magical, abundant, and blissful. We were light of body and spirit and there was nothing that we could not manifest.

Being Hypnotized By "Mentalist" The Amazing Kreskin

The summer of 1977 I went to Chautauqua, New York to study opera and I was fortunate to find a retired high school teacher who gave me French lessons. I recall that even then I was starting to ask questions because when Miss Lawson would coach me I would say, "This feels so familiar. French feels so natural to me. Why is French so natural to me?

An Astral Journey Of Ecstatic Proportions: No Alcohol Or Drugs Needed

Being a baby boomer I did a little experimenting with drugs after college. I was never impressed and after a couple of futile and boring attempts, I might add, I gave it up entirely. I sometimes think about a friend who used to take drugs and still vividly recall what she said to me one day. "Michael, I really wanted to experience something fantastic and far out. "I wanted something of magnificent cosmic proportions to take place and blow me away. I wanted to see the leaves breathing or the aura that surrounds people. Things like that.

Wise Seers Of Yesterday

There are many wise ones from the past who have so much to teach us. May we hear their voices in the stillness and the movement of the wind. May we listen to their teachings from books. May we invoke them in our quiet moments and feel their spirit approach us. May we drive comfort and inspiration from them each and everyone. They have walked upon the shores of terra many a lifetime. They have blessed us with knowledge and wisdom that we can apply to our own lives and improve them and become more in touch and attuned to spirit and our own souls. The true "seers" are ete al.

A Past Life Soldier Meets Me In The Present Time

Now we are ready to hear your other war writing, Soldier in Contemplation," said my divine visitor. "I have much to say about it, but first let’s hear it. I know it is another that you have memorized.” “Yes, it is.” Mr. Divine shifted positions and placed his hands in his lap, his eyes focused intently on me. I trembled slightly. I made myself comfortable, took a couple deep breaths and spoke. Soldier in Contemplationr Dear God, Will I ever understand war? How people justify destroying what is sacred. We are all equal in your eyes.

Go Getters Go Out On A Limb

Go Getters Gotta Go Out On A Limb! @ 1,800 words Nothing ventured, nothing gained is a very popular saying to remind us that we must be willing to take risks in order for our dreams to manifest. And we must learn to trust and rely upon our intuition and those hunches and impulses and ideas which have a way of just popping into our head out of nowhere. I feel that such hunches are often messages from our soul and from our guides.

Celestial Fields Of Paradise

The roads are many to the celestial fields of paradise where and bliss dwell. All souls make this long journey, meeting the grand foe of fear who diverts their attention here and there knowing that it can only delay the journey every soul is destined to complete. All travel the road of mediocrity; some for days or months; others for years or lifetimes. The detours of this road are many; each mile leading to thicker more obscure roads which further alienate the self from the self. This road leads to no destination. It only wears down the body and soul.

Adversity Can Become Our Greatest Teacher And Liberator

I have this little saying taped on the book shelf near my computer that says "Every adversity has an equal or greater benefit." I have incorporated it into my belief system and constantly quote it to my clients, friends and family. At first upon hearing this statement one might be inclined to ask for further clarification. For it would seem that adversity is anything but our teacher or liberator.

A Prophecy From A Seer That Helped Steer Me Upon The Spiritual Path

I believe that we are all psychic to some degree and most people have a memory or two or more whether they have shared them with anyone else or not. For example, we think of someone and the phone rings. As a matter of fact just a few minutes ago I was thinking about my friend Arielle in Indianapolis, IN. I was about to pick up the cell phone and call her when I got my little bell ring on my computer that announces incoming mail. I had an email from her. I believe that this kind of telepathic communication happens far more frequently than we realize.

We Tend To Get What We Ask For

We Tend To Get What We Ask For Some of the Eastern Spiritual paths teach that it is desire that brings us back to the earth in additional lifetimes to learn what the soul can learn from human experiences. If there were no human attachments whatsoever, then what would be the purpose of ever coming back to the earth?

The Amazing Magical Power Of Our Words And Feelings

I have read and heard so many times that that there is so much power in the spoken word and our feelings. I am reminded of a story I heard many years about a little old lady who had contracted cancer. When the doctor told her the news she simply looked out the window and stared into the distance with a dreamy look and grin on her face. He stood quietly a few moments, letting her assimilate the sad news he had just been obligated to reveal to her.

Some Thoughts And Pointers On Meditation

I was recently asked to give my take on meditation. Q Is there an exercise you can recommend for strengthening one's psychic abilities? I replied, Don't HESITATE! MEDITATE..MEDITATE...MEDITATE. Then meditate some more. If you are serious about your psychic development you got to have your MEDS. ..And you need them daily for them to work. Meditation is very serious soul business, and does wonders to maintain some calm amidst the clutter and chaos of our daily lives. However, let's please keep our sense of humor as well.

The Language of Love

The Language of Love word count 970 I look at people walking down the street and think, You are not who you think you are. This is all a dream. It is not real. Then I look at me and say, “you are not real, either. What is real? I need to know. I need to see. I need to feel what is real. I want to communicate by some means other than human language, something that connects me to all life, not separates me from it. Perhaps I want to enter the realm of the “nameless”, or rather, experience myself in all things and people.

If You Can Dream It You Can Achieve It

I wish you many blessings is one of the most powerful gifts we can ever bestow upon anyone. A blessing possesses its own special magic; one of its purposes is to open our hearts and lead us closer to our true “inner self” or soul. Contact with our soul helps us discover and realize our goals, hopes and dreams. The discovery of “self” (know thyself was a much quoted dictum of the early Greeks) is an exciting part of the journey we are all taking on the earth at this time, and is not one to be taken lightly.

Glimpsing The Divine

Divination is a fascinating art that has been around for a very long time. There are many types of divination; from scrying, reading tea leaves, a crystal ball, reading the palms of the hand, psychometry (the holding of a personal object and receiving psychic impressions, images and messages for the subject) reading runes, tarot, angel, native American, inner child, fairy, goddess, archangel, and many other types of cards as well as regular cards. There are Astrology and Numerology readings, both of which I utilize in some of my readings. Some Psychics and seers read gemstones.

Only The Risk Takers Are Free

ONLY THE RISK TAKERS ARE FREE 1,650 words We can never get anywhere in life if we do not become risk takers. There is simply no way around it. We've all heard the axiom 'nothing ventured, nothing gained. This is another way of saying that we must become risk takers if we want to journey the path of success. One of my favorite books says that 'to get to the fruit you have to go out on a limb.' That about sums up the need to become a risk taker, and a daring one at that, let me add. The good news is that we are in good company.

Let Friday The 13th Be A Good Day!

Let Friday The 13th Be A Good Day! @ 1,680 words Yesterday was Friday the 13th and I am proud to say that it was a good day for me and I sincerely hope that it was a good day for you as well. It got me to thinking and I thought I'd write a little article because when I talked to a Borders bookstore manager to see about carrying my book of love poems, Dawn's Kiss, I reminded him that today was Friday 13th. "That could account for a lot of things," he replied.
