Search A Light In The Darkness

A Magical Mind

From blowing dandelion seeds into the air to throwing a penny into a fountain, we have all felt inspired to make a wish, to whisper our secret desires into the ears of the universe and wait for signs that we have been heard. Some wishes come true while others remain ethereal visions that either stay with us or fade like a star in the light of morning. Whether they come true or not, wishes are important missives, expressing our heart's desire as well as our intention to create something new in our lives. When we wish for something, our consciousness opens to receiving it, like a flower unfolding its petals to receive a bee. There is something innocent and magical about making a wish, something that recalls the energy of childhood. Wishing is not about formulating a plan and following it step by step to attain a goal, which is the realm of adulthood. Wishing is more like a playful volley across the universe, an invitation to play. Waiting for the response is an integral part of the process. Wishing inspires an innocent opening to the possibility of magic as we wait to see if the invisible realm will bring our wish to life. This opening is a beautiful gesture in and of itself, regardless of the outcome. We place ourselves in a magical mind, and this mind is arguably as wonderful as the fulfillment of our wish itself. In our straightforward, action-oriented society, we may tend to dismiss the power of this seemingly passive process, yet the power of a wish is well known, hence the cautionary phrase, "Be careful what you wish for." If you have given up wishing in favor of more adult pursuits, you might want to bring its magic back into your life. The next time you see the first star of the evening, or find yourself in front of a birthday cake covered in flaming candles, give yourself the gift of the magical realm that you knew so well as a child-close your eyes, open your mind, and make your wish.

Opossum Totem

Opossum medicine uses a great deal of strategy. If all else fails, Opossum plays dead. It has the ability to fight with its claws and teeth, but it rarely uses this form of protection. Instead, the supreme strategy of diversion is constantly employed when things get a little too hard to handle. Opossum has developed an act that would receive an Academy Award in the animal kingdom. The musk of the death scent is excreted at will, adding to the master play that sends enemies on many trails of confusion.


If Opossum has turned up in your cards, you are being asked to use strategy in some present situation. Rely upon your instincts for the best way out of a tight corner. If you have to pretend to be apathetic or unafraid, do it! Oftentimes if you refuse to struggle or show that hurtful words bother you, your taunter will see no further fun in the game. Warriors have used Opossum medicine for centuries, playing dead when the enemy is least expecting it, the war cry is heard. The fright of this serves to further confuse the unsuspecting opposition. Victory is sweet when the strategy is one of mental as well as physical prowess. Opossum may be relaying to you that you are to expect the unexpected and be clever in achieving your victory. This could be a victory over a bothersome salesman or a nosey neighbour. In essence, Opossum is beckoning you to use your brain, your sense of drama, and surprise--to leap over some barrier to your progress....read more>>>...

Can Climate Change Cause Mental Illnesses?

As climate change and its impacts on our planet and society are still debated, a new report by the Climate Institute of Australia warns against the devastating effects of extreme weather events on communities' mental health. Taking severe weather events in Australia as a point of focus for the study, the report also blames adverse weather on climate change and says: "Unabated, a more hostile climate will spell a substantial rise in the incidence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression - all at great personal suffering and, consequently, social and economic cost." ....read more>>>...

Inspiration ... for today

"Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them." -- Orison Swett Marden

We can’t escape problems and negativity. Escaping just brings denial and suppression - we continue to carry the problem with us. Ironically, it is our lack of acceptance and resistance to the problem that creates the pain. Resistance builds up an energy wall or block that, if not discharged, gets suppressed into the body. These blocks identify places where we have not enough understanding or love.
For health, we must work through what we seek to avoid. How do we do this? We can love parts of ourselves that we don’t like. We can seek the lessons we are being invited to learn through the problem. We can examine our beliefs and seek to see different perspectives and a bigger picture. As our perspectives grow, more of life makes sense and has meaning.

"The Lord is a good psychologist: he knows the way our minds run. Turmoil can be the Lord's way of tapping us on the shoulder and saying, 'Don't forget me.'" -- Eknath Easwaran



Restorative Slumber

In the modern world, we’re often compelled to be as productive as possible during as many hours of the day as we can be. While this can lead to great feats of accomplishment, we may become exhausted and find ourselves craving rest and rejuvenation. We may feel like taking a nap but feel guilty about indulging in even ten minutes of rest. This need for personal downtime, which many people experience in the early afternoon, isn’t a sign of laziness nor is it necessarily related to how much sleep you had the night before. There was even a time when taking a nap was considered a natural part of everyone’s day. Napping is a pleasurable yet brief period of sleep when our minds and bodies can take a break. Though judged by many to be a pastime for children or the elderly, napping can benefit people of all ages. The desire to nap is a trait shared by many mammals, and napping is still an important part of the day in some countries. Snoozing for a half-hour can be an enjoyable way to promote physical well-being, and naps have been known to improve your mood and memory. A 20-minute nap can sharpen your senses and revitalize you, while a ten minute nap can leave you feeling more cheerful. Falling into a light sleep during the daytime can feel meditative. The thoughts you have as you are taking a nap and the dreams you experience may offer you insights about your life that you may not have at night when you are in a deep sleep. In order to fully enjoy the benefits of napping, you may need to give yourself permission to nap. Feeling guilty about snoozing or worrying about your to-do list won’t do you much good when you are trying to take a nap because your thoughts or feelings will keep you awake. Try to nap at the same time each day, and use an alarm clock to ensure that you don’t sleep for too long. If you go to an office, try crawl under your desk for a nap. Learning to nap and enjoy its restorative benefits can help you wake up restored, rejuvenated, and ready for the rest of your day.

Choosing your Karma.

The early years of your life tend to be the most karma-filled. Adolescence is often the most intense time of all in a life. The hormonal and developmental changes tend to accentuate the difficulties of that period and facilitate a climate wherein much karma can be played out. This is also the time when you experiment with the different chief negative features: self-destruction, greed, self-deprecation, arrogance, martyrdom, impatience, and stubbornness. Generally by about the age of 21 you select one of them to settle down with.. After the age of 30, karmic intensity is greatly reduced. There are exceptions to this, as is the case with those people experiencing lifetimes at the sixth level of any stage (heavy karma balancing), and those with a goal of growth...read more>>>...

Buddhist Inspiration ...

...if all other sentient beings who have been kind to us since beginningless time are suffering, how can we devote ourselves to pursuing merely our own happiness? To seek our own happiness in spite of the suffering others are experiencing is tragically unfortunate. Therefore, it is clear that we must try to free all sentient beings from suffering.


An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life



"Falling From Grace"

My visits to the elders were rare at first. I felt foolish in their company. Mortal and unwise. But gradually my visits happened more and more. I was intrigued by the stories of the one; of our separation; of our fall from grace. I was curious and intrigued. I had to know more.

I was assigned my own personal tutor and taught basic breathing techniques at first. I found it hard to clear my mind; to welcome nothingness. Once I closed my eyes, all order of things would cross my mind and gain control. I was unable at first to concentrate. Then as I perfected the simple techniques I began to grasp what my tutor was trying to say. He thus began with the simple visualisations to introduce me to their ways. I felt then I was happy and I had arrived at the right place. Later I would learn I had no choice in the matter.

One day, after I closed my eyes all I could see was darkness. Blackness. The emptiness of space. I was scared. The crystal I held was cold and unfriendly. The feeling seemed to emanate from its vibration. Then as my tutor began to speak I beheld a pinprick of light. Tiny and distant but I could see it there. The more I concentrated, the more I was able to hold it in place. The more I was able to make it my focus. It gradually filled my sight. Its brilliance melted the darkness and I floated in its warmth. Fearlessly I began to walk into its mass. I was no longer scared. Gradually I merged with the light and came as one with the light. The sensation was breathtaking. Regrettably I had to return. I had heard my tutors call of return. I opened my eyes and caught his worried gaze.

You went too deep child, he was saying. You were only meant to watch and feel, not become. We will make an adept of you one day, but only when you do what you are told.

Years later I learnt the light I had entered had been the universal source. One more step into the light and I would not have returned.

By way of a punishment for my disobedience the elders stripped me of my newly acquired rank. I was banished from the library until further notice and I was no longer able to openly ask my personal tutor questions. My daily chores in the temple were increased; the general friendliness of the place lost. At the time I felt degraded and very much alone, but soon became accustomed to the backward steps or falling from grace as it became known.

Eerie echoes of Chernobyl: Inside Fukushima's nuclear ghost town abandoned by people fleeing the fallout

Haunting images taken in a town close to Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant have been released showing a community frozen in time. The new set of photographs, taken in the town of Futaba 12 miles from the Fukushima plant, bear grim similarities to those taken in Pripyat, two miles from the Chernobyl power plant. Children's play areas lie deserted, lonely dogs wander through empty streets, shoes and personal keepsakes are left hastily abandoned in the two towns, both the scenes of hasty evacuations after explosions at the nearby nuclear power stations. In March this year explosions ripped the roofs and walls off three reactors in Fukushima, Japan, knocking out their cooling systems and causing them to overheat. The Japanese government was forced to order a mass evacuation and around 80,000 people had to leave immediately. A vast area is still uninhabitable around the plant and experts estimate the decontamination fight could cost Japan up to £80 billion. It is now six months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, but the Fukushima plant is still leaking low-level radiation and authorities say it could be 20 years before residents are able to return to their homes and property...read more>>>...

Unexplained Lights Appear Above West Woodhay Crop Circle

After the crop circle has come the almost obligatory UFO sighting. This spectacular formation appeared overnight on July 28 in a field at West Woodhay. It immediately attracted hundreds of sightseers and simultaneously earned the ire of landowner Harry Henderson, who dismissed it as the work of trespassers. But even those artists who lay claim to some of the designs that appear in the fields each year have seen strange lights associated with the formations. Now Newbury businesswoman Bonni Southey has reported unexplained light phenomena after she decided to visit the area. She said: "We were having a look to see if the crop circle was still there. Looking across to the horizon above and to the right of the crop circle formation we saw first one bright, static light, which then disappeared and re-appeared again about two miles away in a matter of seconds. It hovered there for a couple of minutes and a second light slowly appeared next to it, and then a third. We watched these for quite a while - about 15 minutes - and then decided to try and get closer to them, driving over towards Ashmansworth. We then lost them geographically, or they disappeared completely."...read more>>>...

Promoting The Positive

Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull. Not everyone will respond to your cues, and there’s no need to become overly attached to the idea of changing other people, because people have to choose for themselves how they will be in the world. Many people choose negativity because it is familiar to them and feels safe. It is important to give people the space to find their own way, but you can always set an example, subtly representing the power of being positive. At times you may interject an affirmative statement into the conversation, and at others you may simply change the subject. You may also simply withdraw your energy and presence, which also makes a subtle statement. If you feel comfortable enough with somebody that is always negative, perhaps you can have an honest conversation with them; after all, awareness is the first step to change. A powerful way to free yourself from the negative pull is to enlist allies who are similarly minded. You and a friend, coworker, or family member may agree to work together to continually shift the energy in a situation in a positive direction. The power of two people working to promote the positive is exponentially greater than one person working on their own. As you and your allies work together to lift the energy around you, you will be amazed to see how quickly the positive pull begins to draw people into its orbit, freeing one mind after another from negativity into light.

From the X-Files Dept: Could NASA or China Launch a Secret Moon Mission?

Could a reallife scenario mimic the new film Apollo 18, shot as found footage shot by NASA astronauts during a secret mission to the moon in 1973? In the story, the astronauts encounter unfriendly lunar aliens, chaos ensues and NASA forever hushes the whole thing up. Could NASA or China's Space Agency, actually launched a secret human spaceflight, without anyone noticing ? According to the experts at the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Reconnaissance Center (NRC), and elsewhere, definitely not. "Developing the entire manned program involved 400,000 people, so to cover up the whole thing you'd have to keep them all quiet," Craig Nelson told Fox News, a space historian and author of Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon. "Just to send astronauts up in the air required a crew of 300 people. Not only did you have all of them working as part of NASA, but a huge percentage worked for other contractors, so you'd have to have hundreds of people keeping a secret forever." According to archival records, the number of NASA employees had, in fact, dropped to around 200,000 by 1973, the year Apollo 18 was originally scheduled to take off. That's half the peak employment of 1965, but still a huge number of people to keep a secret that huge under wraps, had NASA carried out a lunar mission in secret. Nelson also told Fox News that the space agency would have somehow had to quiet the millions of people who saw each liftoff of the Saturn 5 rocket (which delivered Apollo's lunar capsules into space) as it left the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. "There's no way [NASA] could cover up a launch. They could claim that the Air Force was doing it, but even then they would have to completely disguise an Apollo mission as an Air Force satellite mission, and that would be extremely difficult," Nelson told Life's Little Mysteries. But could China be a different story?...read more>>>...

Rune of The Day - JARA

The Rune Jara indicated a time of good harvest to the ancient Nordic peoples. It is a good sign for receiving favourable news in business projects and in relationships. Jara is a positive energy when positioned with other optimistic runes, however when it is cast with the more testing of runes ... Jara can indicate that the querent has got what they deserved. Jara associates with the karmic tides and with reaping what has been sown. - Matthew James

Ezra The Scribe

“Welcome child. Welcome to the next part of your learning. Here you will live and breath for as long as it takes for you to be the healer you bear within.” They all spoke at once, with one voice. A voice which began as an audible force but quickly became a direct thought.

“Forget the outside world, the killings, the acts of cruelty, forget the thousand questions that form in your mind currently and ensnare you with their deceptions. Forget it all. It is time you become you. Welcome back home friend. You are back where you belong after a long journey. A journey which has caused you much pain.

Welcome back to before it began. Back to the time of the choice. Last time you chose your earthly family and they deceived you. This time, by fate, you will choose your soul family and become who you truly are. The facet you were before the fall. Then you can remember the vows made and the reason for manifest life. Remember it and never forget it.

Though you will forget, it is as meant. For from this moment forth know you shall live many other lives around a circle. Bearing many different names.

And the forgetting will lead to confusion, but know the inside always remains the same. Until the last face you shall forget us and your home. You will be just like all the rest who have forgotten. Damned. But then as the last face you will begin to remember and know then the circle shall begin again. Child it is time you were ready. What is it you choose?”

“To remain here father”. I found myself saying the words without being aware.

“Good”.

“To become who I am. To remember. To deny the illusion the rest of mankind shall embrace. To be of service to the universe at all times. To be its eyes, its ears, its mouth, its voice on the manifest plane. So through I it will experience all the lives to then understand the manifest plane. Then, and only then will I return. Then and only then can I rise back to the source. Reconnected to it all”.

“Good”.

“I am ready to start. Ready to prepare”.

“Good. So it shall be child. From this point forth we shall call you Ezra The Scribe”. (Extract taken from THE CHRONICLES OF EZRA written by Matthew James)

A Word on 'Hedgehog Totem Animal'

The hedgehog's natural resistance to snake venom gives this small creature a healing attribute of great spiritual power - resurrection, restoring life after death, or preventing death. This natural immunity is due to a protein in the animal's muscular system – erinacin – that stops or prevents hemorrhaging and blocks the venom’s neurotoxins. Erinacin is extracted from the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) and used to create an antihemorrhagic factor. The generic name Echinacea is rooted in the Greek word echinos, meaning hedgehog. Shamans and other healers will find Hedgehog a potent totem or power animal when powerful healing is needed.
Though Hedgehog is a nocturnal animal, it is strongly connected to the energy and vitality of the sun in many Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Animals of the night are associated with intuition, psychic ability, prophetic dreams and visions. At night, concepts and thoughts are cloaked in shadow, things are not altogether clear. Those creatures active time night possess the ability to see clearly what is hidden to others in the dark.

Hedgehogs have surprising stamina and energy - they can run about 4.5 miles per hour, and are particularly adept at climbing steep walls, trees, and fences. They are even capable of swimming. This stamina is further evidence of powerful healing and life force energies in this totem.

A Hedgehog teaches how to use innate defense mechanisms to protect against many forms of negativity, and brings energies of happiness and cheer. Closely tied to the Earth’s vibration, Hedgehog assists one in staying centered or grounded when threatened. It helps one connect with Devas, nature spirits, and fairies...read more>>>...

A Quote for today .............

If you ever meet anyone that doesn't believe in Karma, make sure you run as fast as possible. It is more than likely they will do something to you believing there is no Karmic consequence to their actions. On the other hand, most people that DO go around preaching about the consequences of Karma, do not take heed in what preach-- The Daily Guru

From the 'X Files' Dept: The SETI Enigma --What Caused this Signal?


No one at SETI headquarters knows for sure. The believe that there is a slight possibility that it just might originate from an extraterrestrial intelligence. The bright colors on the blue background indicate that an anomalous signal was received here on Earth by a radio telescope involved in a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Time labels the vertical axis of the above plot, and frequency marks the horizontal axis. Although this strong signal was never positively identified, astronomers have identified in it many attributes characteristic of a more mundane and ultimately terrestrial origin. In this case, a leading possibility is that the signal originates from an unusual modulation between a GPS satellite and an unidentified Earth-based source. Many unusual signals from space go unidentified, no signal, however, has been strong enough or run long enough to be definitively identified as originating from an extraterrestrial intelligence....read more>>>...

Would People Today Recognize the Humans of Tomorrow?

If one thing above all others can be counted on, it is this: the world as we know it will cease to exist in the very near future.

This, however, shouldn’t be interpreted to mean that the world is going to end. Doomsday scenarios involving mass-extinction, death and suffering, widespread famine, oceans drying up, or asteroids slamming into the Earth are, while very popular, far less likely than our eventual survival as a species. But while life on Earth will almost certainly continue on, it can’t be argued that the coming years will likely bring a number of radical changes, especially in the realms of computer science and nanotechnology. Innovations in these and related fields will not only become the foundation for future technological advancement, but they will also serve as a platform upon which new emerging technologies will be developed. Thus, life as we know it presently here on Earth will no longer exist; it will simply be replaced by a very different kind of organism that incorporates highly advanced technologies that would seem almost “magical” in the eye of modern man. It seems hard to fathom for us today, and guessing accurately at what changes can be expected–as well as what kinds of technological innovations today could hint at them already–is a different matter entirely. So is there any reliable, empirical data that helps with this, and if so, how can it determine what the future of humankind will be like?....read more>>>...

Sigils, Servitors, and Godforms

Sigils, servitors and god-forms are three magickal techniques that chaos magicians use to actualize magickal intentions. Sigils are magickal spells developed and activated to achieve a specific, fairly well defined and often limited end. Servitors are entities created by a magician and charged with certain functions. Godforms are complex belief structures, often held by a number of people, with which a magician interacts in order to actualize fairly broad magickal intentions. These three techniques are not quite as distinct as these definitions would suggest, they tend to blur into one another.The use of the techniques of the chaos magician presupposes a certain stance, or attitude, towards magick that is relatively new in the history of the occult. This stance may, for lack of a better word, be described as postmodern, since it is neither traditional nor modern. The differences between these three approaches to magick – traditional, modern or postmodern can be elucidated as three conceptions of the nature of the universe. The traditional approach is based in Judeo-Christian metaphysics and views the universe as anthropomorphic, in the image of the ChristianGod, or less rarely, some other anthropomorphic form. The traditional magician believes that the universe is understandable by human consciousness because human beings are made in the image of God. The modern view is essentially a reaction to this and humanist in the extreme....read more>>>....

The Key Of Time

Forth I came from out of my body,
moved in the movements that changed me in time.
Strange were the sights I saw in my journeys,

Aye, saw I man's beginning,
learned from the past that nothing is new.

Inspiration ... for today

The spiritual force within us wants us to evolve. It is a powerful force which pushes everything to the surface of our consciousness. Most people won’t know what is going on. Everything will seem out of control. It is not hard to see this happening. Look around you, the world is a crazy place now. Everyone is on the spiritual path whether they know it or not and are on the precipice of enlightenment.



Don’t fear, because this is a necessary transition to flush out everything within us that is blocking our view of the divine. The time has come. Get ready for something marvellous to appear within you. It cannot be described with words because words are of time and space and cannot describe the eternal-- The Daily Guru

The Synchronicity Of The Source

Light is weaker than dark
Dark is the cloak that drowns all thoughts
Free thoughts
Light must merge with dark
To become a shade
Then it will defeat the dark


Through you (and the others incarnated) the source can sense the misery and the discomfort of the material plane. It knows the frustration and the effect of human emotions out of control. It knows the multitude of emotions, thoughts, feelings available to those brave souls who walk the material plane; who take the fall.

Don`t you forget you are still its eyes; its ears; its vehicle. And though you be truly alone even with kindly souls around you; and though you doubt not the synchronicity of the source when it sends to you what you need and who you need; you doubt it all. And the source knows this doubt. It feels the doubt of all of Ezra.  [Extract taken from THE CHRONICLES OF EZRA written by Matthew James]

Rune of The Day - TIW

The Rune TIW - clever tactics are indicated by this card. Important schedules considered and movements in negotiations. Direct approach is not the best method when employing this rune. Tiw indicates a period of time where negotiating skills are required to overcome stiff opposition. The opposition will anticipate your usual moves ... or will work on pulling on strings to make the puppet act in the way it is expected to. With TIW the unexpected will occur if action and not reaction is employed. TIW is the master tactician awakened. MJ

If you are ever to be successful in your practice of patience and tolerance, which is a critical factor in counteracting negative emotions, it will be due to the combination of your own efforts and also the opportunity provided by your enemy.

BREAKING NEWS: 7.1 earthquake strikes south west of Alaska, threatening devastating tsunami

A huge earthquake hit just south west of Alaska this morning, threatening a devastating tsunami. People living in coastal areas have been told to leave their homes immediately and flee inland to higher ground after the 7.1 magnitude quake struck close to the Aleutian Islands, 1,031 miles away from Anchorage. Widespread damage is feared across the West Coast - from British Columbia, Canada, to Washington - as towns brace themselves for the oncoming waves. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued the warning, stating that residents should flee their homes immediately. 'Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately. Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures,' the warning read....read more>>>...

Alarmists Got it Wrong, Humans Not Responsible for Climate Change: CERN

Global warming and climate change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to emerge as a matter of debate between "believers" and "skeptics." Countless studies validating and denying global warming have seen the light of the day, providing fodder for more, often somewhat bitter debates.

People are suffering and corrupt science has no answers: Dusty legacy of 9/11 still a medical mystery

Like a lot of New Yorkers who spent time near the smoking ruins of the World Trade Center, Lorraine Ashman needs to take a deep breath before listing all the health problems that have afflicted her over the past decade. First she got bronchiolitis and a constant cough that lasted for months. Then there were sinus infections, nine so far. She had pneumonia. She's developed immune system problems, vitamin deficiencies and a sensitivity to gluten. She had acid reflux so bad it damaged the lining of her esophagus. "I've just been sick non-stop," she said. "Being on antibiotics 12 months out of the year is an insane way to live ... I take 17 pills in the morning and six at night." Ashman, 57, blames it all on the sooty air she inhaled in the two months she worked as a volunteer near ground zero. Science, however, is less sure. A decade's worth of study has answered only a handful of questions about the hundreds of health conditions that people like Ashman suspect are related to the tons of gray dust that fell on the city when the trade center collapsed. While people have blamed everything from strange rashes to skin cancer on the dust, the list of illnesses even tentatively linked to the disaster is short....read more>>>>...

A Question of Balance

One of the most beautiful qualities of an intimate relationship is the give and take of energy that occurs between two people. In the best-case scenario, both people share the talking and listening, and the giving and receiving of support, equally. Occasionally, within any relationship, the balance shifts and one person needs to listen more, or give more. Generally, over a long period of time, even this exception will take on a balanced rhythm; we all go through times when we take more and times when we give more. However, there are also relationships in which the balance has always felt one-sided. You may have a friend whom you like, but you have begun to notice that the conversation is always about their life and their problems and never about yours. You may also have a friend who seems to require an inordinate amount of support from you but who is unable or unwilling to give much in return. Over time, these relationships can be draining and unsatisfying. One option is simply to end the relationship, or let it fade out naturally. Another option is to communicate to your friend that you would like to create a more equal balance in which your concerns also get some airtime. They may be taken aback at first, but if they are able to hear you, your friendship will become that much more sincere. They may even thank you for revealing a pattern that is probably sabotaging more than one relationship in their life. A third option is to simply accept the relationship as it is. There are many one-sided relationships that actually work. One example of this is a mentor relationship in which you are learning from someone. Another example is a relationship in which you are helping someone who is sick, disabled, or otherwise needy. In these instances, you can simply be grateful that you are able to help and be helped, trusting that the balance of give and take will even out in the big picture of your life.

Quote For The Day

"By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The non-existent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired."-- Nikos Kazantzakis

THE FOUR MEDIUMS LIVE - Feedback

Thank you so much for such an amazing show Suzie Price, Suzy Cherub, Matthew James and especially Robbie Nacson for standing in at the last moment. It was an amazing high energy night that we totally loved. They did such an outstanding job, they somehow managed to give personal messages to every single person in that enormous audience. During the evening there was a lot of laughter and quite a few tears. The audience was left in no doubt that these psychics were the real deal. I cannot imagine a more enjoyable or better value event ever.

A Basic Guide To Tarot Readings

Tarot readings have been done for more than a hundred years. The truth is that a lot of people look to the cards for guidance and it works for them. They are able to get a lot of insight into their life and actually make great decisions for themselves based upon what the cards say. Before get started in this area yourself, you may want to gather some basic information about how it works. Tarot readings are centered around a deck of cards. They have connections to both religion and philosophical areas and most people who can read the cards follow the same set of interpretations. However, this is where it can become confusing to people who have never had a reading before. Each individual that reads cards may actually use a different spread. This is the order in which the cards are placed down on the table. The cards may actually be interpreted in one way by one individual and in another way by a different person. The key is to be sure that the card reader you work with is experienced and has had good results. What is known about the cards is that they are either analyzed by someone who is using their own psychic powers or someone who is simply going by what the meaning of each card is. If you choose someone that has some psychic powers, you may get a more in-depth reading and even more accurate results. (Online Opportunities)

Cesium in incinerator dust across east Japan

High levels of cesium isotopes are cropping up in dust at 42 incineration plants in seven prefectures, including Chiba and Iwate, an Environment Ministry survey of the Kanto and Tohoku regions shows. According to the report, released late Saturday, the highest cesium levels in the dust ranged from 95,300 becquerels in Fukushima Prefecture and 70,800 becquerels in Chiba Prefecture to 30,000 becquerels in Iwate Prefecture. But even the lower levels in the dust exceeded 8,000 becquerels per kilogram in Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Tokyo.The 16-prefecture survey covered 469 incinerator operators in Tohoku and Kanto from late June, and was reported to a panel of experts at the ministry that is discussing how to safely bury incinerator ash and dust with cesium levels above 8,000 becquerels per kilogram....read more>>>...

Take Action NOW to Stop FDA From Turning Your Vitamins and Supplements Into Unapproved 'Food Additives'

Proposed guidelines put forth by the agency for "New Dietary Ingredients" (NDIs) propose treating vitamins, herbs, and dietary supplements as synthetic food preservatives, which means pulling many of them off the market, and subjecting the rest to extreme regulatory protocols that will drive up costs and severely limit availability. The Dietary Supplement Health and Information Act of 1994 (DSHEA), as many NaturalNews readers likely already know, was a major victory achieved for health freedom. It is also the foundation upon which the dietary supplement market as well as the health of millions of Americans has thrived....read more>>>...

German Airport X-Ray Body Scanners Being Scrapped

BODY scanners being trialled at a German airport ahead of a planned nationwide roll-out were so inaccurate that the whole scheme has been scrapped, a government official has announced. The so-called backscatter scanners had an error rate of 54 percent during their year-long trial at Hamburg Airport, The Local reported. The controversial screening devices are similar to the "naked scanners" already in the US at several major airports. But the German models proved unusable, returning false results triggered by folds in clothing and even by perspiration...read more>>>...

Inspiration ... for today

There is no use trying to change another person who annoys you. But you can change your reaction to them, in which case it doesn’t matter how they behave. Your reaction is what affects you, not the other person’s behavior. When you react to a situation in a non judgmental way, you will diffuse the situation-- The Daily Guru

How The Brain Controls Impulsive Behaviour

A new research has contradicted a 40-year-old theory of how the brain controls impulsive behaviour.Impulse control is an important aspect of the brain's executive functions - the procedures that it uses to control its own activity. Problems with impulse control are involved in ADHD and a number of other psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. "Our study was focused on the control of eye movements, but we think it is widely applicable," said Vanderbilt Ingram Professor of Neuroscience Jeffrey Schall, co-author of the new study. There are two sets of neurons that control how we process and react to what we see, hear, smell, taste or touch. The first set, sensory neurons, respond to different types of stimuli in the environment. They are connected to movement neurons that trigger an action when the information they receive from the sensory neurons reaches a certain threshold...read more>>...

You Are Who You Are, Not What You Do

Our perception of the traits and characteristics that make us who we are is often tightly intertwined with how we live our life. We define ourselves in terms of the roles we adopt, our actions and inactions, our triumphs, and what we think are failures. As a result it is easy to identify so strongly with a decision that has resulted in unexpected negative consequences that we actually become that “wrong” decision. The disappointment and shame we feel when we make what we perceive as a mistake grows until it becomes a dominant part of our identities. We rationalize our “poor” decisions by labeling ourselves incompetent decision-makers. However, your true identity cannot be defined by your choices. Your essence—what makes you a unique entity—exists independently of your decision-making process. There are no true right or wrong decisions. All decisions contribute to your development and are an integral part of your evolving existence yet they are still separate from the self. A decision that does not result in its intended outcome is in no way an illustration of character. Still, it can have dire effects on our ability to trust ourselves and our self-esteem. You can avoid becoming your decisions by affirming that a “bad decision” was just an experience, and next time you can choose differently. Try to avoid lingering in the past and mulling over the circumstances that led to your perceived error in judgment. Instead, adapt to the new circumstances you must face by considering how you can use your intelligence, inner strength, and intuition to aid you in moving forward more mindfully. Try not to entirely avoid thinking about the choices you have made, but reflect on the consequences of your decision from a rational rather than an emotional standpoint. Strive to understand why you made the choice you did, forgive yourself, and then move forward. A perceived mistake becomes a valuable learning experience and is, in essence, a gift to learn and grow from. You are not a bad person and you are not your decisions; you are simply human.
