I Am Not An Island or What Does God Have to Do With Animals?
Christians, if we live out our lives as Christians, that becomes a part of all we are, do and say. There is no separation from our personal lives into our business lives into our social lives or whatever. We are Christians and I got a taste of Christians banding together in unity as a team this week.

Readjusting Our Eye Focus
Peter is a man after my own heart. I feel a certain bond with him. Perhaps, it is because he reminds me of myself at times and my friends and family members at other times.

The Star of Bethlehem
Every Christmas the Yuletide card portrays a silver star in a navy blue sky and every year the same heavenly object sparkles from the top of the decorated evergreen. At season's end the three wise men and their fellow shepherds gather at a hastily set up manger for the familiar nativity scene. Though it shimmers on the greeting card and its brilliance lights up the tannebaum, it wasn't a star that erupted into a supernova on that dark Judean night. The star that shone so brightly two thousand years ago was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

Home of God
Ancient Indian saints and sages realised the divine truth and composed Upanishads which are considered as the fountainhead of spiritualism for the whole mankind. Upanishads proclaim that God resides in all living beings. Since the essence of a being is its soul(atman), God is not different from soul.

Shamanism
Shamans tend to be men {Women have more of these abilities in their natural state and require less altered consciousness.}, though women also can become shamans; some women shamans are extraordinarily powerful. In some cultures, shamans are involuntarily chosen by the spirits; they realize their calling in a transformational experience, often a serious illness that brings them close to death {For example Damion Brinkley of today.} and is self-cured. In other cultures, persons with natural shamanic gifts are selected at a young age, trained and initiated.

The Gnostics and Essenes
This person and I agreed on many things and he checked with the Patriarch to discover that I was ‘bang on’ with my history. The matter of our disagreement centers around his Essene Templar status and the abuses made by these designers of what I call CONstructs. Here is a little from my book on the occult.

The Key to a Clear Conscience
I have discovered as I grow older in Christ Jesus and wiser in all things spiritual, that one of the best possessions any person can have is a clear conscience. You feel good. I mean, you really feel good. You can let folks say about you whatever they will and it is of little consequence.

Coming to Jesus
I believe that we all can live forever if we believe in Gods word and apply it to our daily existence. We can no longer as Christians live our lives next to the life stile of the un-believers.

Natural Talent
No one comes to this world without a gift or special talent that is not unique to him/her alone. The gifts that we bring are the tools we will use to experience physical life in our own special way. For some it is obvious, for others one may have to look a little deeper. The use of such gifts or talents are also subject to interpretation and are often used for purposes other than what we wanted to experience before birth. Most of us spend a lifetime searching for the connection to them.

What Is The Spiritual Path?
We confuse ourselves about the meaning of the spiritual path. And because of this confusion, we never embark on it. Yet the end of confusion comes from looking at the essence of true spirituality. Once we capture that essence, we can act in a way that sets our feet on that path.

Anam Chara - Telling Your Story
Even the dull and ignorant: they too have their story.
We all have our stories.
Even the dull and the ignorant, they too have their stories. Are you, however, prepared to tell our story? Are you prepared to listen deeply to your heart’s story? We human beings are great storytellers. Story is how we first learn. It is how our ancestors first learned.

Living a Happier, Healthier, More Stress-Free Life!
Every time I hear of a company having massive layoffs, I feel for the people who are losing their jobs, but I immediately start thinking about the people who will be left behind. They now have to figure out how to get their work done plus work their former co-workers used to do. Ironically, while downsizing and layoffs are on the rise, workers are demanding more work-life balance than ever before.

Turning Distress to De-stress
Distress is a character altering conditions which can open door to Satan, when we don’t take authority over it. It doesn’t matter how nice someone is, when stressed, they can behave like a monster for that moment. Stress can open doors to other diseases, but we can overcome it by taking adequate time out.
