ARTArticleForgiveness – Why should I forgive?As kids, we generally learn that forgiveness is just a word that you say. When you forgive, it’s like letting the other person off the hook. They say they’re sorry and you hug and make up. But what does that really do? Do we feel differently? Does that make the hurt go away? Generally not.
What really happens is we take that anger and we hide it, because we are not “supposed” to feel it anymore. We stuff the hurt, anger and resentment down as far as we can and try to move on in our “normal” lives.ARTArticleFree Yourself from Anxiety and WinThere are a number of types of anxiety disorders which include anything from a mild to extreme anxiety disorder, panic attacks, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Entrepreneurs especially women are lacking the support from those closest to them. Being told to “Get a Real Job”or “Stop Playing at Business” “Who do YOU think You Are?” or even worse the silent treatment. I am wondering at this point what is a real job anyway now a days?

[Vinod Anand]
We have been created by the universe. How well do we know our creator, the universe? We have been gifted by the universe with a unique attribute, the mind. How well do we understand this gift?
The mind creates its own realities and a universe for itself. The mind created by the universe and universe created by always poses such questions.ARTArticleHuman MemoryHuman Memoryrn[Vinod Anand]
Is ordinary knowledge confined to the material level, the abstract level, or is it a bit of both? Another question may arise: If ordinary knowledge is partly material and partly abstract, is there an extraordinary, super-conscious knowledge which is totally unrelated to the material body and exclusively associated with the abstract level?

For most of us the mind and heart are at —“loggerheads, and the conflict betwee

Much is said and written about how important intention is to our lives, but there is a whole lot of confusion around that word. A working definition of intention is: ‘to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim’, making it seem much the same as a goal.
But a closer look will show us differences between the two. Goals define a place to get to the destination. The focus is always the future: Am I going to reach this goal? Will I be happy when I do? What comes next?ARTArticleInvesting in the Foreclosure Business to Achieve Financial Freedom: Learn How to Profit with No Money or CreditI understand most people aren't in a position where they can take advantage of investing in foreclosures.

Body is the first gift of God. Let us see how? Does a soul enter the mother’s womb during conception or in the course of pregnancy? Understand that the soul doesn’t ‘enter’.
If you are using the word ‘soul’ as an alte
ate to the Sanskrit word ‘atma’ then this is wrong choice of word.
Firstly, the right choice of word would be the individual soul, the ‘jivatma’ not the ‘atma’ and secondly, the timing of the individual soul to enter the womb is not during or post-conception.ARTArticleKnowledge through SelfKnowledge through Selfrn(Vinod Anand)
Self knowledge is neither gained by explanations and descriptions nor by the instructions of others but by direct experience. Whatever is experienced and known here in this world, all that is the self, consciousness devoid of the duality of the experiencing and the experience.
It is the Self alone that exists everywhere at all times, but because of its extreme subtlety, it is not experienced. In all beings, it is the Jiva.
