Reading Godly Books Stirs Up Love To God; Reading Bad Books Stirs Up Wickedness

By Thomas Watson

Get books into your houses, when you have not the spring near you, then get some water into your cisterns; so when you have not that wholesome preaching that you desire, good books are cisterns that hold the water of life in them to refresh you.

At the time you notice that your soul is growing cold because you have been losing the warmth of zealousness, put on some warm clothes. In other words, read books that will inspire you with truths that warm your heart.

Watch out for licentious literature as well as immoral pictures that provoke lust. Reading indecent books stirs up the mind to wickedness in the same way as the reading of the Bible stirs up love for God.

I know of a fellow who published a book full of shameless, lewd, and erotic materials. Before he died, however, he regretted having done so and burned the book which had incited lustful feelings in so many people.

To lascivious books I may add lascivious pictures, which bewitch the eye, and are incendiaries to lust. They secretly convey poison to the heart. Popish pictures are not more prone to stir up idolatry than unclean pictures are to stir up to concupiscence.

The Word of God should be valued above every other book. It is a golden letter sent to us from God Himself. By looking at ourselves through the light of the Bible, we can more clearly see the needs of our souls. Much more than the light of natural conscience, it shows us what we need to see about ourselves.

While our conscience helps us to acknowledge some sins, the Word of God goes further to reveal what sin lies most deep in our hearts. And not only does it reveal those sins, but also shows God's provision for cleansing from sin.

The Scripture is a magazine out of which we may fetch spiritual artillery to fight against Satan. (This article has been adapted from "The Ten Commandments" by Thomas Watson and his Farewell sermon preached August, 1662).

An Easy And Sure Way Of Learning Spanish

By Bernard Bowers

Immersion is a language learning technique wherein classroom studies are supplemented by actual learning exercises with the students living in a community or with a family where the language of communication is Spanish. The student who lives for a time in a place where Spanish is the spoken language will have an easier time mastering the language. The immersion method has been proven effective over the years and was the main reason for its popularity. The reason is actually plain for all to see. Studying in the classroom necessarily lasts a couple of hours at most, for reasons as wide ranging as teacher availability to the duration of student concentration. The immersion method takes a different approach by prioritizing the practical over the theoretical way, that is, speaking the language in a Spanish speaking community.

The term immersion speaks for itself - the student intermingles with people who speak the language, a continuing learning process that is a far cry from the restrictions of a classroom environment. Immersion does not mean that classroom lessons have lost their relevance, rather the two methods are meant to complement each other to facilitate the mastery and fluency by the student of the Spanish language.

Learning Spanish is not merely an academic exercise, but is putting into practice what is learned. By being immersed in a Spanish-speaking community, the student cannot simply the leave the classroom behind, along with what they have learnt that day - the environment demands that their new knowledge be utilized every time they visit the store, or take a bus. The saying that practice makes perfect is most appropriate in this instance where the student is able master the language in daily conversations with the native speakers of the Spanish tongue.

An added benefit of most Spanish immersion programmes is that they involve the participation of a Spanish speaking family with whom the student resides. The friendly environment found in a family home is the perfect place to take those first, faltering language steps. In addition to the practical lessons, living in a Spanish speaking home provides the student a solid foundation for a better understanding and appreciation of the language.

So learn to speak Spanish the best way - with real people, in the real world.

Ways to Cleanse Healing Gemstone Necklaces

By Isabelle Morton

Her desk is becoming more and more cluttered, and nothing will get done until she clears this clutter away. This familiar scenario is a metaphor for the need to properly cleanse healing gemstone necklaces. With proper care, the necklaces' capabilities are extensive. During a therapy session or simply by wearing them, gemstones rid the patient's body and aura of unwanted energies. Unwanted energies congregate in the energy field that surrounds healing gemstones, as well as on their surface. Unwanted energies get in the way of the gemstones' healing powers, and the stones must be cleansed, much like the individual must clear her desk before further work can be accomplished.

There are many methods to cleanse gemstone necklaces. Running water, sunlight, moonlight, soil cleansing, smudging, salt, and clay packs and baths are among some of the common cleansing methods. In addition to these, we now have cleansing sprays made with the energetic imprint of gemstone energies specially designed to clear a variety of unwanted energies. This method may be the fastest, easiest, and most effective of all.

Water is effective for cleansing non-threaded mineral kingdom therapy tools, such as crystals and crystal clusters. However, there are significant drawbacks in using water to cleanse gemstone necklaces. The foremost is premature necklace breakage. This can occur if the necklace is cleansed in water as often as it should be (daily, or more often if you have a serious health condition). Also, it is best to keep in constant contact with a therapeutic gemstone necklace. If you break this contact to allow a necklace to dry, you lose connection with the necklace's resources. A network of supportive energy must be formed between the body and the necklace, and repeatedly losing contact with the necklace prevents this. In addition, water cleansing will be ineffective if the water emerging from your faucet is chlorinated, and the chlorine will eat away at the thread.

Sunlight is another popular method for gemstone necklace cleansing. However, sunlight can bleach the color from certain gemstones, and worse, it can impart harmful solar radiation. Sunlight only loosens unwanted energies from gemstones. These energies still need to be removed from the gems' energy field. If gemstones are placed in sunlight, they should always be placed behind a windowpane to avoid solar radiation, some of which is not therapeutic. Due to the constantly changing solar and cosmic radiation levels, sunbathing gemstones is no longer recommended.

Moonlight baths can be effective, but only for certain gemstones. Sugilite is one of these gems. Although it may seem that the moon's light (or, rather, the sun's reflection) does the cleansing, it is in fact the moon's gravitational pull. If you choose to make use of the moon for gemstone cleansing, first spray the gems with the new cleansing sprays, and then place them outside in a protected area that will be bathed in the moon's energy for at least a few hours.

If you live in the suburbs or a rural area, placing your gemstone necklaces outside on the soil or buried in it not only cleanses the gemstones, but also rejuvenates them with Earth energies. Moreover, plants and soil microbes have a natural life giving energy that can neutralize the unwanted energies that gemstones can accumulate. One drawback to soil cleansing is that animals have been known to dig up and relocate gemstones-much to the grief of the gems' owners. Some of these gems have been found weeks and months later, sometimes in distant parts of the yard. Another downside is that soil particles can get stuck in the thread and drill holes of a necklace, and the necklace would therefore need to be water cleansed. Prolonged exposure to soil can also dull the surface of softer gems, such as Apatite, Fluorite, and Rhodocrosite.

Placing your gemstones in a bowl of salt might seem like an easy cleansing method. But it is not a complete cleanse. The nature of the salt crystal allows it to absorb most unwanted energies, but not all of them. The salt is also unable to properly disperse the unwanted energies. In order to keep the salt working to at its best, it must also be replaced every two or three days. For these reasons, salt also falls short as an effective method of gemstone cleansing.

At first examination, clay seemed to be the gemstone-cleansing champion. Not only is clay capable of removing unwanted energies from the stones, but it also removes x-rays and electromagnetic radiation. Nevertheless, the downside to clay cleansing becomes apparent soon enough. Aside from being messy and time-consuming, clay puts unnecessary stress on the silk, and it actually deteriorates some gemstones.

Finally, gemstone and crystal cleansing is better all-around with cleansing sprays that are imprinted with the energies of therapeutic gemstones. The risk of premature necklace breakage is eliminated, as the thread does not get wet, and the process is quite efficient. The user will not have to break contact with a healing gemstone necklace, and the surface of gems such as Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, and Mother of Pearl will not be harmed (as they can be with water). Additionally, Rhodocrosite, Fluorite, and Apatite (the soft gems), are not at risk with these sprays.

Safety, simplicity, and effectiveness were all considered in the creation of the gem formula sprays. Not only do the sprays remove unwanted energies from the gemstones' surface, but also from the energy field that surrounds them, and even from inside them. Some of the specific types of unwanted energies the sprays can clear include: negative energies, emotional energies, thought forms, entity contamination, pain residues, electromagnetic radiation, and the type of accumulation that clouds and blurs information communicated by our genes. The gem formula sprays finally allow clinical practitioners to easily apply therapeutic gemstones in practice. Between patients, practitioners can quickly, easily, and effectively perform a complete cleanse on their gem and crystal healing tools.

What Are The Dangers When You Develop Clairvoyant Powers?

By Venita Minchin

Since time immemorial, clairvoyant powers have been considered as one of the world's most puzzling secrets and a phenomenon which is very mysterious. It is a generally accepted fact that people who are clairvoyants are given God's extra sensory power to predict things unknown to the normal population. Sometimes it scares normal people who only have the usual five senses and they dislike the fact that clairvoyants can see into the past, present and future.

Those who have these abilities, known as a clairvoyant, also have the ability to move past their own five senses and see the things that others only dream of seeing. This is a sort of second sight, or the capability to witness events before they actually occur. The things they see are not within the confines of our world, and because of that people who have the ability can also look into the past, an ability known as retro-cognition.

This isn't a new thing, as some people might believe. It's been a huge part of human history, and today there are psychics that are able to assist people with nearly anything they need. They can help with romance, life in general, or even career if the situation calls for it.

In this day and age however there is no need to be jealous of those who have these powers, and you don't need to be afraid of them either. Why should you find yourself fearful when you to can possess these abilities? That's right, there is not a single person on earth who can't claim these abilities if they try.

Now is as good of time as any, and the first thing that you need to do is clear your mind. You can do this by meditating.

Clairvoyant people release virtually all negative thoughts, feelings, and energies. This is what separates them from everyone else. It is these negative feelings and thoughts which block your internal sensors and prevent you from seeing what is really there. truth.

With regular meditation you will see the strength that is buried within you, and you will be able to take hold of it and use it to your advantage. Make sure that you get rid of any negative parts, and attempt to keep the positive. If you do this, then it will be simpler for you, and you will have many new capabilities.

You should meditate each and every day for no less than thirty minutes. It is critical to choose a place that is quiet with absolutely no distractions. Make sure that a place is chosen that has no negative energy. Some people will meditate outdoors so that the universe and nature will help them release any negative energies and open up to their potential.

If you do things right then you will be able to sense vibrations, which are what the clairvoyants use to sense things before they actually occur.

It also helps to think as a child thinks. It is a fact that is not well known that every child is clairvoyant before age and logic tell them that ideas like this are non existent.

Try to cast off the doubts that have been ingrained in you, and believe in the unbelievable.

Now after you have made meditation a part and parcel of your life, to give your now developed power and energy the reigning position and to enhance its refinement more, you can purchase a deck of tarot cards. Both the practice of card reading and chirology (palm reading) requires a physical participation of the practitioner or the pursuer, thus giving accurate results and allowing better analysis of the signs and symbols that appear to you.

Begin practicing your newly unlocked powers by providing clairvoyant readings free to anyone that asks for them. While you continue to meditate and hone your new abilities you'll notice the auras which surround other people.

This aura will tell you a lot about them, allowing you to make predictions for their future and possibly even their past, though that is an ability which is very hard to master.

There is a dark side to all this, or at least a side which people tend to avoid is the one in which people have the ability to speak with the dead. There are so many people that do not believe this is even possible, and if you wish to do it, then you need to let go of your fears related to speaking or communing with ghosts.

Open your mind and be brave, because this just means your powers have progressed far enough for you to see other planes of existence which were always there.

As you start your journey towards developing clairvoyance powers you will gradually realise that it is indeed a very natural talent which everyone is capable of using. You will be in a wonderful position to help other people and to lead a happier and more fulfilled life yourself.

What Age To Learn Remote Viewing Methods?

By Summer Limita

There are many different remote viewing methods which may be employed, all of which have the same goal: using your natural ability to 'see' something which is beyond the reach of your five ordinary senses. It all happens with the power of your mind.

It's a little bit like having an out of body experience or doing astral travel, but it's not the same thing, quite. Instead, what you're doing is using your natural psychic and extrasensory perception abilities, and developing them into a bona fide skill set.

Actually, being able to remote view is a natural occurrence. Everyone has the innate ability to do remote viewing, yet as time passes, many individuals do forget that they ever could do such a thing. Remote viewing is the ability to sense or see something that is not in the same location as you are.

Remote viewing methods are seen by many as a recent happening and like so many other phenomenon not explained thoroughly explained by the theories of science and hence considered as not so normal practice. However in reality remote viewing method were prevalent from ages.

Remote Viewing by Any Other Name Is Still Remote Viewing

There may be instances when people may consider a person picking up a message who has no sender may be considered as clairvoyant. In cases where there is both a sender and a receiver then the phenomenon may be termed as telepathy.

However, there are still more widely accepted abilities of extrasensory perception, such as maternal instinct when a mother simply knows her child is in danger without having any other information available to her, and needs help.

We must be always try to keep an open mind to nurture our extra sensory perceptions. In fact we also need to grow our body, mind and soul to feel and perceive things that are there for centuries now.

What's Entailed with Various Remote Viewing Methods?

Learning to remote view begins with getting into the proper mental state. You'll need to have already practiced your inherent psychic abilities or learned some meditation and visualization techniques to reach the state of relaxation needed for remote viewing.

When you practice guided visualizations and meditation as part of your remote viewing methods, you will be able to concentrate your mind power and focus more intently on any area or subject you wish to view.

This is going to take some time and practice, so stay patient with your efforts, as you remain diligent and determined to be receptive to any messages or other input you may receive.

Media aids are among the most popular because they have the potential to deliver the best results. These aids include tapes and recordings that provide excellent insights into how to develop these skills.

Researching before taking any of the above aids to enhance our psychic abilities is very much required, This is because among so many training types some may appear to be useless for particular individuals while some may be just suited for the person.

It is essential that you trust your natural instincts and impressions. Even though as you are learning to hone this type of extra sensory skill, many images may not make any sense you shall still trust them and yourself.

As with other types of training, no matter the field, it is beneficial to begin small and work upon the steps and precepts as you progress from one lesson to another.

That is why it is best to start by selecting a half dozen or so simple images and drawing images based on your meditation on these images.

Then place them in an envelope and seal them. Then we may try to perceive remote viewing with the help of these. Another good practice is to make records of our progress while taking the training.

A key component to success is that you should be patient with yourself and the results you get while you are learning. Keep practicing your remote viewing techniques and methods.

With continual practice you'll keep improving until before long, you'll be remote viewing with clarity any time you like.

"Fortunate Sons" Reveal Story Of China's Rise To Modernism

By Allen Cardoza

Allen Cardoza of Answers4thefamilyblog.com recently interviewed author Matthew Miller on L.A. Talk Radio. The interview on March 21st was about Miller's new book "Fortunate Sons," which he co-authored with Liel Leibovitz. The complete name of the book is "Fortunate Sons: The 120 Chinese Boys Who Came to America, Went to School, and Revolutionized an Ancient Civilization."

This book is the true story of the 120 Chinese boys who studied in America. They traveled to America in the 19th Century before returning home to help establish modern China.

Toward the close of the nineteenth century, China sent a select group of boys to America to learn the ways of the West. Their mission was to modernize the antiquated empire. They were sent to learn how to defend China from foreigners invading its shores.

Drawing on first-person accounts, letters, and diaries, "Fortunate Sons" tells a gripping tale. It weaves together the dramas of personal lives with the story of a nation that was being reborn.

Yung Wing was the first Chinese student to arrive on American shores. He graduated from Yale in 1854.

Yung returned to China. Qing dynasty officials noticed his American education. They were impressed by his English-language abilities.

China's ruling class was desperate. They wanted to upgrade their military power. They sought Yung's help to buy machines from Massachusetts. Yung, however, suggested a better answer. Why not establish an engineering school? It would be a place for young Chinese to learn American industrial methods.

Americans treated the Chinese students well. Chinese in the American West, on the other hand, were facing discrimination and prejudice at that time.

Class separated the two groups. The mission students were scholars and leaders, selected for their potential. In contrast, the West Coast Chinese were either desperate merchants or peasants.

The students returned to a crumbling China. The empire was in disarray. It had been beset by growing internal factionalism. Four decades earlier, European powers had claimed territory and won concessions.

The value of the mission students was slowly recognized by the Chinese ruling class. They eventually won bureaucratic appointments. In time, they rose to greater authority.

Alien Abductions- Facts Which Make Them Existent

By Pete Phaedrus

The issue of alien abduction can be very complicated as it is very hard to prove whether a person was actually abducted or not. However, through various accounts from the abductees, issues such as the main forms of the extraterrestrials have been formulated hence strengthening the possibility that alien abductions are real.

According to one of the many different reports available on the Internet, there are three kinds of aliens that abductees have been able to distinguish. Among them we find the Nordics, the Reptilians and the Grays. All of these labels were given to aliens so as to aid people who experienced abduction in depicting the event and also to help other people understand the events in a better way.

Each of the different groups has characteristics that differentiate them from the others. The Nordics are similar to humans because their hair is fair and their eyes are blue and could easily be taken as a human being from far away. They get this name because Nordic people have those physical features. They are generally observed in some countries of Europe.

The second group is made up of the Reptilians. They get this name because of their reptile appearance and people could consider them a lot more alarming. According to people who have been abducted by this type of aliens, they are very aggressive and treat people in a more untoward way.

The third group is made up of the Grays and they are regarded as the most usual type of alien. They get this name because their skin is gray and full of furrows. This is the type of alien that is generally portrayed in movies. Their heads are protrusive and they have eyes with no eyelids. According to abductees, the Grays carried out research on them but always following a hierarchical order.

People who have experienced an alien abduction have been through several studies in order to prove that they are not insane or that they do not suffer from any issue that distorts reality. They all passed the tests without problems. However, scientists are still trying to understand why aliens visit people, but one thing is for sure aliens like to abduct young people or people who are not in their forties yet.

During the capture, victims describe a series of events from the visitation to being taken into the spacecrafts forcibly. They also claim invasive medical and physical examinations, loss of time perception and the return to the place of abduction later on.

Thanks to the many different stories about alien abductions, we can conclude that there is plenty of evidence to state that they are real.

Over the Hill Birthday Celebration Suggestions

By Jarvis Ashley

Whilst there are several individuals who treat the 40th and 50th birthday as a time to mourn there are other people who elect to use this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate. Life goes on and there's no superior approach to celebrate that truth than with friends and family. An "Over the Hill" birthday will need to be one that brings together both in a roaring fashion. Hopefully a number of the concepts below will get your wheels turning for a grand strategy for your own over the hill birthday celebration or that of someone you appreciate.

My favorite idea for a great Over the Hill birthday celebration bash is often a roast. You see them on tv all of the time. They are irreverent and very hilarious. This only operates if you have the form of buddies and household to pull this off and not be offended by the items being stated but can be a ton of fun using the correct audience. Have an excellent meal and permit all of the guests, who are interested at any rate, to obtain up and deliver their 'toast' to the guest of honor. In the event you want a night of laughs this is absolutely the way to celebrate your life and also the buddies you might have (no less than those which you had yesterday anyway).

You could do an AFI sort of theme in which you have films or slides showing of many events all through the guest of honor's life. This is a great method to pay tribute to an individual that has meant a fantastic deal to you when planning a birthday bash to be remembered. Have a red carpet sort of theme and let guests to pay sincere tribute to the birthday girl or boy by extolling their virtues. This is an additional fantastic celebration which is lots additional sentimental in nature than a roast but along the very same lines in terms of decoration and meal planning.

For an additional funny over the hill birthday party idea appear to the past. If your birthday girl or boy is actually a relic you may give the party an Old West or Gold Rush theme. A party including this could be an excellent deal of enjoyable to strategy and even more enjoyable to attend. Set up a Wild West saloon and have every person come dressed for occasion. This is a great photo op for most and for those who plan issues properly the theme is usually one that can go down in memory by every guest, specifically, the guest of honor. Be certain to maintain the drinks flowing and make the food portable (finger food is almost always an excellent plan for adult birthday parties unless they involve plenty of space for sitting down to dine).

Naturally there is the standard Grim Reaper form of over the hill party. You'll find things needless to say you could do to make your party stand out from all the rest but that may demand a creative spark and expertise of the guest of honor to pull off properly. Use what you may have to work with so as to create the best celebration of life or death inside the new century. Needless to say if you are actually brave you can actually make it an out of this globe expertise and go with the black but give the party a supernatural theme. The sky could be the limit when celebrating milestone birthdays and nothing is too outrageous depending on the personality of the guest of honor. Just keep in mind that over the hill does not mean not long for this globe and life, at all stages, should really be celebrated and honored.

If you're lost for inspiration hopefully the concepts mentioned above will support at the least point you within the proper direction if not solve your party planning woes.

Laser Tag Birthday Party

By George Estrada

As far as bday bashes go, laser tag arenas are taking the birthday industry by storm. Gone are the days when only small boys are interested this is actually a game that everyone, regardless of how huge or modest can have an excellent time exploring and makes for an fascinating and entertaining party thought. For those who have a laser tag arena inside your neck of the woods it truly is really well worth checking out as the perfect place for the subsequent birthday party event.

The fantastic issue about most laser tag arenas is that you don't must sacrifice the idea of a themed birthday celebration or gathering to be able to incorporate the laser tag action into the party. There are lots of themed parties that work wonderfully appropriate alongside the action packed time that could be spent enjoying life on the laser tag floor.

Now you can find plenty of themes you can bring to the laser tag table with you but my individual preferred is that of a spy mission or secret agent. Most arenas will likely be happy to play along to your party needs if you are booking with them and let them know far adequate ahead of time to make the suitable preparations (offered they are reasonable and age appropriate naturally).

What Are The Astral Projection Techniques For An OBE

By Robert Engelhardt

For people who are interested in astral projection, you will find that there are a number of different astral projection techniques that you can try. While keeping in mind that we are all different and that while one technique that is pure gold for one person doesn't work for another at all, you will find that there are techniques out there that can work for you.

Sometimes people have some difficulties with some methods and because they aren't able to relax, not because the technique doesn't work.

It simply cannot be stressed enough that total relaxation is vital if you are to achieve any measure of success with astral projection. The inability to relax seems to be more prevalent between those just starting out, largely because of fear.

The fears are the result of false beliefs that maybe harm, or even death could come to the person who is trying astral project. To help alleviate those fears the Canterbury Institute conducted and researched a study. The Canterbury Institute is well know for their studies of the occult.

All the people who took part in the research had participated in astral projection and institute determined that not one of those people were harmed in any way after having followed the various techniques. Furthermore, having followed the 2,000 people for no less than three years, the institute also establishrd the fact that nobody reported any problems.

All fears have been put to rest. Now lets look at some astral projection techniques, which are easy and have been very successful for many people. Here are the seven steps of astral projection techniques.

* First, make sure that you are relaxed in mind and body. Some people will get there through slowing their breath and breathing deep. You can relax your body consciously, starting with one muscle group tensing and then relaxing before working on the next.

* Reaching a hypnotic state. Essentially you need to reach a point where your mind and body is just on the verge of going to sleep, although of course you don't want to actually fall asleep. This can be achieved by using the gazing method. Simply lie on your bed and begin staring at something until such time that your eyes close and yet you're still able to see the object.

* Once you can see the object with closed eyes and you need to deepen this state you are in. The best way is to look around (eyes closed) see whatever you can see. It's possible you may see different forms of light patterns and may even notice the room has become cloaked in a purple light. Ignore this and don't pay any attention to it. When you have stopped seeing this light you'll know that you've entered a deeper state. Being so completely relaxed, you will no longer even be aware of your physical body.

* This is the most vital step, where you have to enter a state of Vibration. Many who have been practicing the seven techniques of astral projection, find that the vibrations are felt early in the projection. And they believe this is felt when you experience the astral body beginning to leave the physical body. Do not be afraid and feel the vibrations.

* Controlling the state of vibration. In order to do this one needs to focus on the vibrations and attempt to move them through your body. In other words you should aim to feel these vibrations throughout your body. When you reach this stage it should feel almost as if there are waves washing over you, but it is important that you continue practicing until such time that you can bring this on at will. When you reach a point where you can bring on these waves whenever you wish, then you're at a stage when you're ready to leave your physical body.

* Now you need to convince yourself that your mind has power and control. This is the stage with astral projection techniques where you will need to think about a partial separation. While this is going on, you will start to use your hand or your foot and to part it from your physical body. Move it up and away and try to pass it through a solid object that is near you. This can take some time and effort, but it is completely possible. Remember that once you have done that that you should return your body to its fully awake stage. Stay down until you are awake, and then you can move.

* In this last step you will get to separate from your physical body. You can simply follow all the steps already mentioned but this time, instead of only allowing your hand or foot to leave the physical body, you will allow total separation. Apart from a minor adjustment, this is virtually identical to step six. In this case you need to imagine that your body is weightless or that it is made up of feathers and that they are being blown around in the wind. As your astral body starts leaving your physical body you should begin to feel as though you are flying or perhaps floating.

Several other methods are available for you to try. One is the Rope Technique, and there is the Gazing Method, and also the Anchor Technique. Take some time and spend it practicing the seven steps of astral projection techniques and see what works best for you. There is a astral technique available for everyone and there is one for you.

You should, however, be aware that astral projection is not for everyone and to use and become familiar with the seven techniques of astral projection takes and requires a lot of practice.

However, a shortcut is available. The recent developments in the sound technology industry, have made available lots of audio tools and these can help you. Some of these techniques use unique sound frequencies called Binaural beats. These synchronize both of the hemispheres of the brain, that can put you immediately into a meditative state.

One can also opt for hypnosis recordings which have been designed to assist those interested in astral projection. These aim to reassure ones subconscious mind that it's perfectly acceptable for one to leave ones physical body.

Astral projection is something that can change your life, and by using some of the techniques listed above, you will find that it can definitely change yours, too!

New Beginnings Using Lucid Dreams

By Alexa Metayer

If you are not yet familiar with the phrase, Lucid Dreaming is a relatively simple concept.

A Lucid Dream is a dream where you are aware that you are dreaming, even while in the middle of it. The degree of lucidity depends on a few things - how much control you can exert over events in the dream, how much of the dream you can remember upon waking and how stable the dream is.

This last factor is probably one of the most remarkable parts of lucid dreaming. Experiencing and identifying a dream and taking control of it is really quite an amazing feat. The simple fact of knowing that you are dreaming and identifying the dream as such is astounding.

Lucid dreaming allows you to take control of the lucid dream and realize that within the dream there are no limits to where your imagination can take you.

Just consider that for a moment. Lucid Dreaming looks, feels and engages all of your other senses as if it were really happening but you know that you are only dreaming and will be totally safe no matter what you do.

Lucid Dreaming is far more advanced and has far more realism that any virtual reality generated by even the most sofisticat3ed computer technology.

It simply cannot be denied that lucid dreaming is a fantastic skill and it's hardly surprising that more and more people are becoming interested in learning how to master the art. Even though some people may not realize it, lucid dreaming is something which most people experience on occasions, but just for a minute try to imagine how it would feel if you could have a lucid dream whenever you chose.

A Lucid Dream can be a doorway to some amazing experiences! Meeting and interacting with your favorite celebrity, having untamed erotic fantasies, taking a trip to distant planets, visiting fantasy worlds and touring them, conversing with a lost loved one, in fact anything at all; there are no limits to your imagination!

But experiencing regular and controlled Lucid Dreams can actually be fairly complicated to achieve. Certainly until recently people would spend months going through an instruction training and self-conditioning procedure prior to obtain familiarity to their first lucid dream. Often people would manage to have but brief instants of lucidity, whereas others never succeed in it at all.

Are there any easy ways for someone to experience a lucid dream?

Many people feel that particular foods can encourage or induce a lucid dream. You should try these immediately before going to sleep. Orange Juice, Milk and Cheese and also Mustard have been reported as being good things to consume for the best results.

Others swear by pickles, fish, ice cream and popcorn. They say that these foods lay the necessary conditions for Lucid Dreaming to occur; but keep in mind that these foods are also high in fat and salt, which isn't going to help you to get a good night's sleep.

Can Technology Assist You?

Your chances to experience Lucid Dream session improves with the new advancing technology. There are now devices on the market that alerts you that you are dreaming and which can induce a Lucid Dream Session. These are quite innovative in that they are simply masks which monitor your eyes. When they detect REM or Rapid Eye Movement, which is an indicator of dreaming, a red diode blinks into your eyes. This beam is registered in your brain and serves as a reminder that you are in fact dreaming and that you are still in control. It is then that you can take control o the dream.

One of the most effective of these new technologies is one which uses audio frequencies called binaural beats. Each of the listener's ears have different frequencies played into them, which helps you to have Lucid Dreams.

Binaural frequencies help to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and make your brain more likely to reach REM sleep, which is needed in order for Lucid Dreaming to happen.

If you would really love to experience a Lucid Dream then this is for you. This is definitely one of the easiest methods and devices that assist in achieving a Lucid Dream.

Youth Speaker Promotes Evidence

By Keith Deltano

Christianity and the New Testament in particular, seem to be under attack form all angles. The "New Atheists", led by Richard Dawkins, have declared the New Testament to be mythology. Yet no book form the ancient world is as well supported as the New Testament, no book has as many copies that date so closely to the events described. In short, the New Testament is the champion of all the works of antiquity.

One can use several different ways to prove the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts. These include the number, dating, accuracy and confirmation of the available manuscripts. The number of New Testament manuscripts is vast compared with the typical book form antiquity, which has only seven to ten manuscript copies. The New Testament has almost 5,700 Greek manuscript in existence - this makes it the best textually supported book from antiquity. No other book, fragment, or work, comes close.

But how close to the crucifixion can we get? When was the New Testament written? Was it, as stated in the Da Vinci Code, authored hundreds of years after the event described? Hardly. The earliest undisputed manuscript of a New Testament book is the John Rylands Papyri (P52, dated A.D. 117) which survives form within about a generation of the time most scholars believed it was composed (AD 95). Since it was composed in Asia Minor and discovered in Egypt, the demand for circulation time (time for written information to travel in the ancient world was much longer than today) would place the composition of John in the first century. Not 325 AD, as Dawkins and company propose.

Why this is important is best summed up by noted British manuscript scholar, Sir Frederick Kenyon. He stated," The interval then between the dates of original composition and the earliest extant evidence becomes so small as to be in fact negligible, and the last foundation for any doubt that the Scripture have come down to us substantially as they were written has now been removed. Both the authenticity and the general integrity of the books of the New Testament may be regarded as finally established."

Stated simply, no other book form the ancient world has as small a time gap (between composition and the earliest manuscript copies) as the New Testament. The tragedy of this is that most Christians do not know this. They are unaware of how easy it is to defend the Bible. They are unversed in basic apologetics. Teaching simple facts, like those outlined above, would help Christians, especially Christian youth, stand up to the doubt that surrounds them. It is time to start the widespread teaching of Christian apologetics, espesally to teens.

Lucid Dreaming And Other People

By Kyle Dados

Lucid dreaming is also often referred to as conscious dreaming, in that one can often exercise a certain degree of control over the dream, unlike with regular dreaming. Basically, lucid dreaming is all about the art of dreaming while at the same time being aware of the fact that it's a dream, even while you're a busy dreaming.

The undeniable fact is; that feeling of power which one experiences when one can control the direction of a dream, is something directly out of metaphysical existence. To a great extent, many of the limitations with which you've learned to live, simply vanish.

But this begs the question: can it really be so easy? Is this accessible to all? If it really is that easy why doesn't everybody do it?

The fact of the matter is; lucid dreaming is far from being a difficult a task. If you are determined to master this powerful skill, there are numerous tried and tested ways to achieving your goal.

The first thing you need to do is to become absolutely certain as to why you want to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you imagine yourself having your own personal playground built from lucid dreams, or do you have another reason for wanting to learn and develop this skill? Your reason is not of particular importance, providing it is clear in your mind.

Once you're satisfied as to why you want to learn this skill, then it's time to start the actual learning process. The first process, largely referred to as 'dream recall', requires you to remember your last dream. Essentially, if you cannot remember your dreams, it will be virtually impossible to reach the stage of lucid dreaming.

This isn't going to happen overnight (if you'll forgive the pun). Many find it helpful to keep a dream recall register, which is a sort of dream diary. Here you'll write down each detail of your dreams which you can remember. Do this each day. You'll find it easier the more you practice. Also, start trying to become aware of your dreaming, to get your mind trained to be alert in your dreams.

Hypnosis has been used quite often to significantly reduce the time a person needs to train their subconscious mind to the point where they're ready for lucid dreaming. Only one or two sessions of hypnosis may be all one needs to do the trick.

When you are lucid dreaming, you may suddenly awake. Don't worry! Recall the details of your dream and try to go back to sleep and continue the dream in the way that you want. When you awake, you may just be surprised! If successful, your dream will have been under your control and your mind will have a new found power.

Now, you can get to lucid dreams more easily by simply going back to sleep a few hours before you intend to wake up for the day.

When learning lucid dreaming, it helps to be well aware of your sleep patterns so you know when the best times for you to have lucid dreams are.

In addition to any other reasons you may have, lucid dreaming is also known to benefit those suffering from sleeping disorders such as insomnia. If you have difficulty going to sleep at regular hours, you simply need to convince your mind that together with sleeping, comes an opportunity for lucid dreaming. In most cases this will be enough persuasion for your mind to take over the responsibility of clearing away any thoughts which may be preventing you from sleeping.

Unlike in the past, when it could take ages to master the art of lucid dreaming, recent progress with sound technologies have made it a whole lot easier for everyone.

One of the quickest and most efficient means of learning how to lucid dream is by listening to binaural audios.

Binaural audio recordings work in stereo; a different sound frequency is played in each ear at the same time, phasing the brainwaves correctly and inducing deep relaxation in the listener, opening them up to lucid dreaming.

Before binaural audio technology, meditation was the method of choice for those wanting to learn lucid dreaming, and this was a process which could sometimes take years to master. Many simply gave up, not having the determination to pursue the practice.

When binaural sound waves and hypnosis are used for preparing the subconscious mind it is very possible for you to experience lucid dreaming sooner.

The Amazing Benefits of Law Of Attraction

By Sandra Proctor

Everyone has aims or goals in life. But how many of them do you see achieve it? Why do they all live through their lifetimes without even reaching halfway towards it? The answer lies in their lack of understanding of the universal law - The Law of Attraction. Sharing the same views as quantum physics, this universal law is also based on the core belief that the universe consists of only energy and we are all a part of that energy.

We are part of the whole universe and not separate from it. Our thought patterns are part of the universal flow. We put energy in and then manifest it into our reality. Anything you can imagine, large or small, you have because of this law. No matter what you want, you will get it. It works that way each time.

It will work no matter what, just like the law of gravity. It does not matter what type of person you are, if you jump off the bridge, you are going to fall down.

The law is detached just like the Law of Gravity. It doesn't matter if you are a good person or a bad one, if you jump from a roof; you will fall down to the ground.

Hence, the sensible way to go would be to only have positive thoughts in your mind. That is, think about what you want, not what you don't have. If you want money or say a new home, don't think about how much less money you have for it. Think about the home per se. Visualize that you owe it already and then let the feeling and emotions flow.

Focus your thoughts on how wonderful you will feel living in your new home and decorating it. Don't spend your thoughts worrying about where the money will come from or feeling bad you don't already have it. Don't focus on your struggle with money, just think about the good feelings a new home will bring.

How will living in your dream home make you feel? Happy? Safe? Feel those emotions now and hold your focus on them every time you think about getting a new home. If you can do that, you will attract your dream home to you. You might somehow cause the money to come about to make it possible to buy your home or something totally unexpected could happen and you get your new home another way.

Don't make the mistake of trying to use the law when you are feeling desperate or in need or you will get more of the same. If money is short and debt is piling high, don't dwell on the feeling of needing money or being broke.

These are some signs of lack. Instead of this you can think that you have already paid the bills, visualize that there are no bills with you for payment. Then you will somehow get money and pay the bill.

Another common mistake is to try and figure out how the Law of Attraction is going to bring your wishes to you.

It is up to the universe to decide on how to bring this to you. So just focus on things that you need and not on the method. It is the job of the universe to bring it to you.

Remember, according to universal laws, what goes up will come down and what you give is what you get. While you are letting the universe decide how you get what you want, you will have to be aware that it will inspire you to do things. When this happens and it feels right, just do it. If it does not feel right, stop and find something else. However, you will have to take action when the law of attraction presents something to you.

What you have to do is to act on the little nudges that the universe will give you. In our example of manifesting money, the universe will nudge you towards many opportunities of making money. Don't go for each and every opportunity of making money that come across, but only the one that your heart feels right since that's the one which the universe has sent to you.

When you work with law of attraction show gratitude for the things that you have got already, it might be health, job, etc.

Moreover, be thankful for your life, the way it is at the moment because it is the creation of your own thoughts and emotions in the past.

What ever you have now is the residual effect what you wanted in your past and these are the emotions that are dictated before. If you are unhappy then make yourself positive and change your thoughts and think about the things that you need in future.

Create the future you want by doing this. Send this positive energy into the universe, and it will send your future to you, just as you are thinking and feeling it now.

How Dr. Nancy Sorbel Is Healing in Haiti

By Allen Cardoza

In the Answers For The Family radio show, talk show hosts Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx recently interviewed Doctor Nancy Sobel, a certified psychologist who is the co-founder of the Global Adolescent Project and Boarding House Mentors.

The Global Adolescent Project, a non-profit project in Haiti, relocates adolescent orphans from the dangers of displaced people camps. Her project moves adolescents living in tents into safe housing.

Doctor. Sobel is a certified psychologist in private practice in West Los Angeles, CA. She works with individuals, couples, families, and communities, and she specializes in the treatment of trauma, compulsive issues and addictions and has consulted in the development of treatment programs throughout the United States and overseas.

The doctor has been involved in the nonprofit world since age 13 when she worked in recreation agencies for physically challenged kids.

The talk show discussed:

1. How the most important prison in Haiti collapsed during the earthquakes and that criminals were on the loose terrifying raping and pillaging in the camps.

2. How there is an abnormally high incidence of rape inside Haiti amongst young women and teen girls living in the tent villages.

3. How she rented an apartment house for a year to safeguard teenagers and how she is planning to rent a building to house them.

4. How her mission is to educate, give confidence hardiness and give power to disenfranchised kids globally. In addition to secure housing, the scheme pays all tuition for schools, gives mental health services and provides microloans and education for small, indigenous business enterprises.

5. How teenagers have fallen in the breach of intermediary youth.

6. How women are blatantly overlooked in this society and how domestic violence is unchecked, so part of their resilience-training project is teaching the teenagers to be able to survive the crisis.

7. How she is initiating micro-financing to help citizens in Haiti shore up their families. She described how microloans work.

Dr. Sobel is happy to accept donations to help her fulfill her project. All the money goes straight to the children. No administration fees are charged. 100% of the funds go to help these nation.

Learning Speed Reading

By Owen Jones

What have you been reading lately? At a meeting, you can soon see who the frequent readers are, since wide readers often think and speak well too. They win the admiration, respect, and fellowship of others. After all, reading expands the mind and many people consider it one of the most satisfying pleasures known to mankind, combining, as it does, mental agility and physical relaxation way above the scale offered by television.

The act of reading is primarily a mental activity, since you read with your mind and use your imagination to depict the setting of the action thriller you are reading. You use your mind to imagine the pain that the main characters in the story are experiencing as the plot unfolds; or you contemplate the various arguments and ideas theorized by the author of that self-help book you are reading.

Reading effectively helps you to develop a broad range of vocabulary through reading different kinds of books. A skillful reader recognizes a wide range of vocabulary. The reader may not understand exactly what every word means, but he/she will have a general idea of what the sentence is trying to say.

Reading makes you more alert and more curious about new words. Some readers develop 'the dictionary habit', which means that every time they come across a new word, they try to figure out what it possibly means from the context. If they cannot do this, they refer to a dictionary.

Likewise, reading develops intellectual curiosity by exposing you to a variety of subjects. You learn to read by reading books of increasing difficulty and variety. As in other forms of education, you learn by actually doing and as you are reading you automatically learn about the subject matter of the book too!

Reading trains you to have an active and open mind. Merely understanding the writers idea is not enough, you have to make a positive response to what you read. Be an active, not a passive, reader. Develop the habit of drawing your own conclusions, the habit of active thinking, of agreeing or disagreeing with the author. Always keep your mind open; understand and consider the ideas that you read. A practical part of active reading is the drawing of conclusions.

Now let me introduce you to the concept of speed reading. All of the above applies three, four, eight, nine, even ten times over, because speed readers can read that much faster than the average reader! Consider that ... being able to read, comprehend and remember all those books. You would certainly become well-read in your subject far more quickly than others. Just imagine how that could help you at work or in school or college ...

Allow me to share four basic rules for effective reading and better comprehension:

1) Try to read more and more every month. Remember the saying that practice makes perfect. 2) Develop the habit of reading for main ideas. Look for the subject and predicate. Do not waste time on details or little words. 3) Learn to read with focus and concentration. Think of what you are reading. Do not let your attention wander somewhere else. Good readers read with understanding. 4) Learn to budget your time. Experiment with your reading time. Try purposely to read faster. Give yourself a time limit on a specific book that you are reading.

Reading is a wonderfully stimulating mental activity. It expands your understanding and ability. You have so much to gain by discovering the joy of reading. So, go on and take down a book right this minute.
