You may be prosperous but are you wealthy?

I am never tired of repeating this:
My life slogan: ‘Pass it on; Share.’

So, here again, I am inspired to share with you after I read an article in India times.

Many of us hold wealth and prosperity as synonymous.

But it is not so. Wealth is much more than your bank balance.
It is happiness, peace of mind, a fulfilling relationship.

But we always chase money alone, assuming that it is the ultimate wealth.
Of course, you may amass fortunes, but it won’t make you feel wealthy in the real sense.

We have seen and heard about so many celebrities who have become rich by any standard but at the end of their life, they have become near pauper.

Do you know why?
They have never learnt how to retain their money. They thought that only by hoarding, it can last life long, but it was not to be.
As long as we have the consciousness of hoarding–of taking for ourselves and never allowing the energy to flow through us to others–we block that energy flow; in time, it may cease altogether.

To prove this, read this story:
At last he climbed to the top of the mountain and found the mountain stream which is said to be the elixir of life.
He bottled it, brought it back to his home and never uttered a word about it to anyone in his family.

To last longer, he only took a sip everyday. When he opened the bottle on the seventh day, he found the water had gone stale.

Thought provoking really.

Why birds fearlessly perch on certain persons?

I am sure many of you pondered over the above question.

When you watch pigeons and parrots fly over freely and perch on outstretched hands of some persons, you also might have held out your hand only to watch the birds flutter away from you. You would have felt disappointed-right?

Do you the reason for the birds behavior? Simple, it felt safe, rather it sensed safety. Of course you did not have the least intention to harm the bird but still it shunned away from you.

It simply means, you don’t send out powerful attractor energy-‘The Unconditional love’.

Highly conscious people, who attain a state of total fearlessness, send out higher vibration energy, which animals and birds sense it because they are also attuned to this frequency.

How to attain this state? Simple by not having fearful thoughts.
Thoughts like what will happen tomorrow, how I am going to face the interview, how I am going to present my case, it is getting dark; how will I reach home if it rains, occupies you always.

These are all fearful thoughts which make you not live in the present moment. It is quite natural for all ordinary human beings, but if you have unshakable faith in the creator, fearful thoughts will not find room to enter you.

The worry and fear free, state of mind will be sensed by animals, birds and other human beings also.

This blog post is sponsored by cheap paintball gear, dealers in low priced, top quality Paintball Guns from all the top manufacturers like Smart parts, Kingman Spyder, Tippmann, Proto.

Wondering what is Paintball Guns? (also called paintball markers)
Paintball guns were originally used by the forestry and farming industries to mark trees and cattle.
These early paintball guns were similar to many paintball pistols of today – they were powered by CO2 cartridges and had poor range and mediocre accuracy.

Do you know that the first paintball gun manufactured specifically for the sport of paintball was the Splatmaster, which was patented in 1985?

Generally, the evolution of paintball gun technology is focused on achieving greater speed, accuracy, and air efficiency.
However, paintball guns have also gotten lighter and smaller over the years.

The industry saw it necessary to modify the tree-marking paintball guns in order to reduce their velocity to prevent injury to humans.

Now Paintball guns are made even smaller and lighter with better accuracy.

Does this description fit you?

What is your nature?

Ask this question to anybody and you can fill up quite a lot of papers with their answers.

See which one of them below, seem to fit you.
I am always a moody person.
By nature I am skeptic.
I am a cheerful person by nature.
I am short tempered.
I can’t tolerate loud mouthed persons.
I am a chronic sadist.
I am a lover of nature.
I easily trust anyone.

Am I entering familiar grounds? (smile)
So are you sure about your nature? Over the years have you not changed a bit? I mean did you notice that what bothered you once does not do so anymore?

But you were not born with these qualities! All these you acquired as you grew, due to your living conditions, education, religious beliefs and friends and relatives.

What is the nature of earth? It gives life. You plant a seed or sapling, water it for a few weeks and watch with amazement as it sprouts to life. Now who gave life to it? The earth. Irrespective of the conditions and seasons of the world, it will continue to give life-because it is it’s nature.

It does not refuse, it does not retort, will silently bear all rains and sunshine, but retain its nature.

So we were, when we were born. We held all the spiritual qualities when we were children. As time passed by, we severe our spiritual connections, attain human status and enrobe ourselves with all sorts of inhuman qualities that we call nature.

Whether a giant oak sprouts out or a tiny and feeble grass, it is immaterial to Earth. It does not take pride to show its’ nature.

How else a very foul smelling flower grows out of the same earth, from which we know hundreds and thousands of Flowers with exotic fragrance.

I am talking about the corpse flower, the world’s most foul-smelling flower.

Last Friday Crowds flocked to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to see what the big stink was about — the rare blooming of a cultivated amorphophallus titanum, one of the world’s largest flowers.

“I had to wear a respirator,” said Alessandro Chiari, a plant propagator. In fact he also took part in raising the flower with Mark Fisher.

“It’s such a beautiful thing,” Fisher said of what he calls his “baby,” which was raised over 10 years from a tiny, 2-month-old tuber that came from a North Carolina nursery.

One of the air-monitoring technicians said the smell made her eyes water and the greenhouse’s windows were opened for ventilation.

“It comes in waves,” Chiari said of the plant’s foul smell, which serves the purpose of attracting hungry bees and insects that pollinate its female flowers. Another popular name for this flower is titan arum.

Only a handful have flowered in the United States in the past few decades. But this year was its first flowering, noteworthy for the giant, phallic spadex that springs from the leaf, which grew as much as five inches a day.

Like many of nature’s most spectacular feats, the corpse flower’s blooming will be short-lived and the plant is expected to collapse in another day or two.

Because of its appearance, Victorian woman were kept from viewing it.

Funny isitn’t?

Tell me honestly, can you deny this fact?

Take some time to think deeply. Ponder over your present living style, your treasured possessions, your social status, recent vacation you took.

I will give you 10 minutes to think and write it in a paper.

I will also utilize this gap to go over a web release by truck toolbox- who has announced new Auto, SUV, Van and Truck Accessories website.

Hmm…Impressive indeed.
Let me pass it to a few fleet owner friends of my husband.

Ok!. I see you are ready with your writing. Let me go over it.
Impressive life style really with two sedans, rented but big apartment, fat bank balance. Oh! Recently holidayed in Hawaii! This is nice.

Now just answer this question very honestly.
What was your financial position 10 to 20 years ago?
Not this affluent?

But certainly you imagined all those that you wrote on the paper?
You longed for a visit to Hawaii to boast about, wanted always two cars in your garage-right?

Tell me honestly, can you deny this fact?

Do you realize how all this was possible? You attribute it to your hard work, time and luck?

No! No!. There is no such thing as ‘luck’ or ‘accident’ or ‘time.’

A very simple and basic Law of Universe was at work during all these 10 to 20 years.

Do you know what is it-this Law of Universe?

‘Ask and it is given’

Yes, you asked for it, you dreamed about your desires, it went out of your consciousness as energy, it merged with the Universal consciousness, and the Universe conspired for you to have it all-as simple as that. (smile)

Pass it on; Share.

Do you want to become a healer.

There is a burning desire to know how to stay calm and peaceful among those who have just started their journey on the spiritual path.

This is practically explained in an experiment by Deepak Chopra.

He gathered several thousand people for the purpose of meditating in a group. Each person in the meditation group had their serotonin measured prior to the long meditation session.

Serotonin is a "-neurotansmitter in the brain. Its presence in higher
amounts indicates a level of calmness. The higher the serotonin level the more at peace you are.

After several hours of intense group meditation, the serotonin was measured again and there was a significant increase in serotonin levels in virtually all the participants and so they were found to be at peace and calm.

The second part of this experiment involved measuring the serotonin levels of people in the immediate vicinity of the large meditation group, who were not doing the group meditation.

Their serotonin levels were measured both before and immediately after the meditation. It was discovered that serotonin levels were significantly increased by simply being in the immediate neighborhood of a large group of people who were radiating tranquil energy.

Implications of this kind of scientific research are astounding to contemplate.
Just imagine when you become more peaceful and practice sending out this kind of serenity silently, you have an impact on everyone in your physical environment.

This also explains why we have that peaceful feeling whenever we are in the presence of highly enlightened persons, or when we enter certain places of worship.

I was explaining this experiment much more dramatically to another well dressed client in the office of barrington real estate, where I had an appointment with Jeffrey T. Schutter, their Operations Manager, to finalize a purchase.

I know my father also dealt with NewCastle Realty Group about 10 years ago, so they are my natural choice.

The entire deal did not take long and I finally settled for a town home in preference to condos and new houses.

I am one of the Barrington residents that make an average salary of $170831.0, though I expect to earn a couple of more grand in the coming year.(smile)

You may be abused if you practice unconditional love.

Practice it anyway.

You may be called ‘submissive’. Practice unconditional love still.

You may even be called ‘coward’.
For example you might have been cheated in a minor matter by a cab driver. If you forgive him without a protest, you are sure to be called ‘submissive’, ‘coward’, ‘passive’, etc. Don’t bother. Just don’t bother.(smile)

Repeat the same if an opportunity arises next time. The act of forgiving is simply empowering. Only the practitioner of unconditional love can feel the peace and joy.

Are you in tune with this so far? Alright, read on. Empower yourself.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

When you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Bulild anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

I acknowledge with gratitude to Wayne Dyer who wrote some of the above in his book, ‘There is a spiritual solution to every problem’.

Now if what you read above made sense to you, if you have felt something different in your heart, then you are in alignment with your true nature-the nature of spirit and thus you are inspired.

Have you understood?

This blog post is sponsored by simmons jannace & stagg who again fought for justice, when asked by a widow of a man who died in the 9/11 attacks to represent her, in connection with a lawsuit filed in federal court by the attorney who represented her before the Victims Compensation Fund. The attorney sought an exorbitant $2,000,000 as a contingency fee. He filed suit in federal court seeking a declaratory judgment entitling him to his fee.

For those who are not aware, ‘Victims Compensation Fund’ is created for those who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack. The Fund is a no-fault system designed to maximize compensation to the families of victims. Contingency fees by attorneys representing families were disfavored.

Finer legal point:
Simmons, Jannace & Stagg moved to dismiss the federal action, arguing that the Victims Compensation Fund did not provide federal jurisdiction for an action by an attorney seeking to protect his fee.

In fact there was no reported case that upheld jurisdiction under the Fund where the issue concerned a private dispute between an attorney and his former client concerning the amount of a legal fee, thus argued by Simmons, Jannace & Stagg.

Finally, they argued that the federal court should abstain because the state Surrogate’s Court had already begun an inquiry into the size of the attorney’s fee.

The verdict:
*The federal court, after hearing argument, issued an order and agreed that the Victims Compensation Fund did not provide federal court jurisdiction.

*The court also agreed with Simmons, Jannace & Stagg’s argument that it should abstain from exercising its jurisdiction on the grounds that the given the pendency of the Surrogate’s Court proceeding, federal abstention doctrines mandated that the federal court abstain from exercising its jurisdiction unless and until the Surrogate’s Court proceeding was concluded.

*The court stayed the attorney’s action, but retained jurisdiction for the purpose of any renewed applications after the conclusion of the Surrogate’s Court case.

The most important blocks that keeps you from getting rich. (part 1)

I hear your cry “Oh no! Not one of those unsolicited advice again”.

I do not blame you. I went through that hundreds of times in my life.

But you know the irony, some of those unwanted advices got into us unconsciously that proved beneficial to us sometime later-agreed?

Like you, I read as many books as possible on ‘getting rich’.

Some of the ideas that got embedded in the subconscious mind surfaced involuntarily at the right time and guided me to the riches.

I give below the essence of what I practice which has been endorsed by very many eminent personalities. I am not going to elaborate on these steps, but I request you to just follow it blindly.

1. Do not say this to yourself ever, “I am not that much qualified to get that (job, material, relationship etc).
2. Do not ever say this when you look at or hear about very rich people, “He is stinking rich” or “He has not earned it honestly”.
3. Do not ever say this, “No chance! I will never get that much rich in this life”.
4. Do not ever say this, ‘How? To the best of my knowledge, I do not think it is possible”.
5. Do not ever say this, “No! I am too old to get rich. My time is over”.

In the next part of this article, I will elaborate on these points. But I will give you exactly 30 days time to practice this to overcome your years of conditioned mind, so that this becomes your habit.

I am writing this post from one of the beautiful Hawaii Condo, a 2 bed room unit located on the third floor of the Mahana at Kaanapali Resort in Maui.

Of course there are multitudes of choices to rent your vacation homes owned and managed by Gebhart Properties.

For instance you can opt for Hale Nani Loa Maka, their Kolea Villa , a 3 bed room penthouse located at the Waikoloa Beach Resort with luxurious and convenient features, spacious living areas, custom furnishings, private elevator, kitchen and artwork not found in even the finest of hotels. The location commands an uninterrupted view of Anaeho'omalu Bay and Kileaua.

And if you want to have your own private wading pool, rent their Hale Ke Kai, a luxurious 3BR/4BA two-level private home in Kailua-Kona which can accommodate comfortably up to 8 people.

And its location is so close to the ocean that you can frequently feel the spray from the ocean as waves break against the coastline.

But the reason for my choice of Mahana was, that this resort, the only property in Kaanapali that runs parallel to the ocean, is located a mere thirty feet back from the beach!

What a nice place to stay and blog about getting rich!

Mahana, Kaanapali Resort, Maui.

Thus the doctors gave a misleading prognosis.

Thus the doctors gave a misleading prognosis.

I was shattered beyond imagination, when my father died of esophagus cancer, when he was only 53 years. The doctors told me, he will live for two more years, but he succumbed to the fatal disease within 4 months.

At that time I was only 24, clueless as to how to manage the family, being the eldest son.

I was not all that spiritually aware that my father has not died but only shed his temporary home.

My present advancement in spiritual field was possible only because of the teachings of ‘The Mother’ of Pondicherry and Paramahansa Yogananda.

Now I truly believe the immortality of human soul, and how we can continue our relationship with our diseased beloved ones.

Spiritual communication is really possible when we attune ourselves with our true nature-the inner self or the higher self which is God like.

When we align ourselves with our highest self, we are relieved of all sufferings due to loss of life, wealth and heath.

Speaking of cancer reminds me to let you know about free legal counsel offered by mesothelioma attorney, to patients and families affected by mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases.

Through a web release, Parker & Waichman, LLP announced that they have launched three new websites, www.mesothelioma-victims.com, www.mesotheliomafamilies.com and www.asbestoslawsuitinfo.com

If you come to know about any Asbestos victims, please direct them to visit any of the above three websites, so that the victims or their families can request a free lawsuit case consultation.

Asbestos victims?

The victims are affected by Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer when havel been exposed to asbestos fibers.

Mesothelioma is used to describe a cancerous tumor which involves the mesothelial cells of an organ, usually the lungs or abdominal organs.

Cause:

The main risk factor for mesothelioma, is asbestos exposure.

Symptoms:

Chest pain may be caused by invasion of the chest wall. Pleural effusion causes collapse of adjacent lung and shortness of breath.

Who are vulnerable?

Miners, ship builders, factory and railroad workers, mechanics and construction workers (particularly those responsible for installing brakes in automobiles and insulation in buildings), are easily affected by this deadly disease.

Even many men who served in the Navy were exposed to significant amounts of asbestos on their ships.

Parents, be ware!

Asbestos is still found in 10-15% of schools throughout America.

Visit their websites or call 1-800-529-4636.

What Freud says about shame.

Frued says shame produces neurosis.

We have seen in our life so many persons who were subjected to shame in various ways. There are deeply affected emotionally and psychologically.

Whenever you see a personality who is shy and withdrawn, you can guess them to be affected by shame. Psychologists attribute several causes like sex abuse, physique abuse, knowledge abuse, economic abuse for this.

I am recounting here my son’s behavior. He was constantly abused by his school teachers citing his poor hand writing, lean physique and so on.

At one stage he was so ashamed that he refused to go to school.

He showed all the symptoms like acting cruelly towards himself, accusing every other human in the vicinity for his lack of cheerfulness.

Would I fault him? Yes, to some extent. Obviously his consciousness
level was very low. But then you can’t expect a 14 year old to react differently when he was abused in front of his class mates.

So, you can squarely blame the teacher who failed to spot his positive qualities.

Trust me, I was also a school teacher, I never could forgive my colleagues who were so incompetent and immatured when dealing with students who are nearly 30 years younger.

They never realized that they are even developing even serial killers by constantly abusing so young kids and put them into shame.

If only the so called grown ups are exposed to the writings of Dr. David Hawkins, they will realize their folly.

Gratitude to Dr.David Hawkins for his book 'Power vs Force'

This blog post is sponsored by the web release from gold, who give sensible advice to ignorant investors about investing precious metals.

They point out that gas, food, and almost everything else has NOT gotten more expensive, but in reality, it is the value of the US dollar that has actually gone down.

Monex.com, one of the country's oldest, largest and most experienced firms specializing in precious metals for the individual investor, backs up this argument by making us remember about the price of gas, which was only 25-cents a gallon and that same amount of silver still buys four gallons of gas!

A very valid point really because it only proves real money like gold and silver holds its value.

It becomes more sensible to invest gold, silver or platinum considering today's uncertain political and economic environment.
