Religion rules? So be it!

"Religion is the opiate of the people” — Karl Marx

We have no way of knowing what went on Karl Marx's mind when he thought of this. I also wonder what prompted him to put his thought in writing!

First let us rule the most used meaning of opiate and stick to the other one:
As per Merriam Webster Dictionary, opiate means: " induces rest or inaction or quiets uneasiness"

If this is so, why Karl Marx had linked religion to rest, inaction or uneasiness. Don't you think he had pointed to three different kinds of people? I am now able to see the implications but I don't want to get into a debate.

As far as I am concerned, I will bracket myself into the second category which is 'inaction'. My religious philosophy is this: "There is no religion". I don't judge any religious beliefs and customs. Let people follow and practice whatever they are comfortable with.

My religious beliefs kept changing till I arrived at the conclusion of no religion. So, anyone is quite likely to change their present views and beliefs. Why take it seriously and expect them to conform with my views?

Live and let live!

How to raise your current vibration?

The most simplest way to raise current vibration is to first want it to be raised and express the same through your spoken and written words. If everything in this universe is only vibration, then, the words also carry the vibration of the author of the words.

A sample experiment:
Q: "How are you?"
A: " Just great" instead of the banal "fine" or "Ok, life is going on".
Observe your mood after you try this and also watch the vents of the day.

All the books you read, the words in them carry the intention and the vibration of the author. That's why, you feel motivated, inspired, pensive when you read spirituality related books or articles.

Today, I read an article on this same topic by Keith Varnum "Tell a Better Story about Yourself".
The author echoed my views and here is an excerpt:"If you carefully observe the vibration you're in at any given moment, and then notice the events that occur soon afterwards, you'll get a sobering demonstration of the dynamic creative muscle of your everyday words in action."

Here is a superb observation and inference:

The Universe Is Listening.

"Every time someone asks us, How ya doing? it's also the Universe asking, What will you have? What do you want today to be like?"

I feel the above tips is sufficient for all of us to think again before saying anything.

I thank Al Diaz for having published the quoted article in his newsletter.

Free personality test.

I love these tests that will interpret a few answers of mine and depict a picture of me which will invariably be different from what I think of me.

I know many people avoid taking such personality tests for sheer fear of facing the fact. Such persons simply would like to keep their own evaluation of self, intact. These people are simply not interested in raising their character and find a new self.

If you are like me with an open mind and sincerely interested in finding out your true personality, please visit Kabbalah and take the simple online personality test. It is a great self discovery tool. I am absolutely sure this personality evaluation will enhance your character and enrich your relationship with life.

HRD (human resource development) personals can use this test for the benefit of their corporate clients and students.

If you are:
* committed to making an important change in your life?
• ready to invest time and effort in your future?
• prepared to try something different?
• interested in finding out and removing blocks in you that are actually psychological barriers which turn all your efforts not very productive?

If you answered yes to these questions, then Atzmi’s Self-Discovery option is for you.

I have taken an interesting test and awaiting results through email.

Did you get the message?

I am deeply inspired and moved by an article by Al Diaz and based on that, I am writing this blog post.

There are certain things that keep recurring in our life; events, incidents and experiences which we would not have wished, might have occurred repeatedly.

We might have carefully watched over our thoughts, stayed fully on positive thoughts only, wished no harm to any one or any creature, must have been leading a compassionate life but still…

We might be fervently wishing for better turn of events and conditions but why it is not so?

Then we must grasp and digest a fact that there is something the universe is trying to tell us. There is surely a hidden purpose for the ‘not so desired’ experiences and conditions in our life.

Al Diaz says there is a reason why the same old stuff resurfaces and it is telling you to wake up!!!

There is no use to get angry at the circumstances, no use blaming others; it is not bad luck at all.

So, what should be done?

It is time you invest in your Self. Listen to your inner voice. Read new books; cultivate new habits; change your routine; reach out for new friends. Do something totally new to you!

Al Diaz has concluded his article in such a manner that it hit me hard and square and here it is: “If you decide to do nothing or very little, I still honor your path, and I still Love you as you are… The same goes if you fulfill the greatness that you already are.”

Aura healing-how effective it is?

The question of effectiveness of aura healing is not posed by me; I believe in aura healing and remote healing.

Aura means the field of energy that surrounds us. This energy is originally very pure but it either get contaminated or blocked thus depriving us of healthy energy. When deprived, we get into all sorts of physical diseases.

If anyone who has the capacity to cleanse this energy when remotely, it is said to be aura healing.

Here is one such healer called Manav Sachdeva and he has been offering remote healing & psychic advice for nearly 10 years. His accuracy and effectiveness has been commended by many.

Manav is said to cure all financial, physical, mental, emotional & spiritual problems.

You hate me and I hate you!

Wait wait! Please, read further before forming an opinion.

One of the laws of universe is the law of inclusion which means there are absolutely no exclusions. Whatever you want and appreciate will also want you and appreciate you.

So, whatever you hate, will give you more chances to hate more things. Do you want that?

Yes, I agree we are bound to have certain likes and likes. I can veer you away from that notion also but that thought system may be too radical and unacceptable for you.

So, based on the notion that we are endowed with likes and dislikes, if you practice hard to turn your thoughts away from your dislikes and always think about what you like, there is no other way but to experience more of your likes.

This is law and no exceptions.

Any new treatment for Cellulitis?

Dermatologists are rare commodity or at least it seems so. All of a sudden, I could not reach them; two of the three skin specialists that I used to consult are out of country and one could not give me an appointment in the near future.

It is my bad luck that at a time like this, I have an infection that I suspect it to be the initial stages of Cellulitis. This is the second time I am affected by Cellulitis. I sincerely wish someone has discovered a new medicine to treat this skin disorder.

I will look for another dermatologist and when I meet him, I intend to suggest he look for new treatment for Cellulitis in Epocrates Online, the free drug and disease resources.

Epocrates, Inc., developers of medical software used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals, has introduced a new web-based application. The free Epocrates Online product provides clinicians new disease database – condition overview and risk factors, treatment approach, tests to order, national medical society guidelines, and more

The power of silence-Part 7.

The whole physical activity becomes a draining and tiring bout of feverish and frantic physical movement, a sort of seeking of a very rare, precious and ethereal experience, something which is rarely obtained, something that tantalizes and eludes you forever.

Still we never stop expecting and looking forward to this experience of fulfillment. We never realize that expectation always pushes the fulfillment away from us. When we expect anything we take our eyes off the beautiful present moment and fix our eyes on a moment in future when we think we are going to be happier.

There is another totally different approach to any sort of physical expression of the love in our hearts. First off, we slow down and really slow down. We say to ourselves that we are not going to seek anything. We are not going to get anything, but we are going to share what we already have with us.

The focus shifts from taking to giving, fully realizing that we are not giving to any one else who is separate from us but to another part of ourselves. We observe that, as far as we are concerned, the other person on the bed exists only in our thoughts about that person.

For us, he or she is the thoughts about him or her and we decide what we think. He or she cannot insert any thought in our head. If the physical expression of love makes us happy, we note that we created this happiness. If we feel unfulfilled, we again realize that we chose to feel unfulfilled for some reason that only we know of.

We also acknowledge that this other person entered our life space because we matched up with them internally using our thoughts and then the amazing Law of Attraction (LOA) brought them to us. You focus on the present moment, the grace of bodily action and the beauty of your partner. You abandon yourself totally to the warmth of the present moment.

Aaah! That can be such a rewarding and unforgettable experience, when we totally lose touch with the passage of time and get glimpses of our own eternal nature.

Give them reasons to exist.

Image via Wikipedia Every human being takes a different path led by own their perspectives, wisdom and choices. The only drawback is we all expect certain things in our life path based on our wishes. There is nothing wrong in expectations.

But, when we don't find greens, water bodies and beautiful birds in our path but encounter thorny bushes, rocks and stones, bleak terrains, we naturally don't like them. We resist the experience and when we do that, we feel biological and psychological pain.

The more we resist, the more we prolong the pain.

We fail to assimilate the basic facts of life. The duality of the planet earth will present us with peaks and valleys, flowers and thorns, lakes and parched plains. We simply have to accept them as they are.

I know it is easier like that than done. But we must learn to accept the life as it is given to us. No one reaches the desired destination without some form of adversity.

Living the life involves exactly as it says-Live by letting everything and everyone else to be. Give them reasons to exist.

Isn't biology still a miracle?

Get answers to your life's questions.

Just after we cross 40, we generally try to go in and lean towards spiritualism. It is at that time we try to get answers to our life mysteries.

I am no exception and I get answers through the books I read and I feel guided towards the books that I must read which will quench my knowledge thirst.

There are several ways like mediums, dreams, clear inner voices through which one get answers provided they ask.

Emalani is a psychic-medium visionary and instructor of psychic development who says anyone (psychic or not) can receive answers to life's questions, just by being quiet and spending time in the great outdoors.

She has been a professional medium for 15 years and shares ideas and secrets for how to tap into your own 'higher self' (or intuitive side). Emalani is currently working on a murder investigation, writing a book on “Releasing the Weight”, teaching psychic development classes as well as giving professional readings.

I came to know about her through the Titus Concept newsletter. No link to her was given.

How guilts are released?

Both the forms of guilt-unconscious and conscious are frequently released but for that you must be ready.

Yes, we know what is conscious guilt-the ones we remember. We regret for our actions in the past, carry it with us to our grave as conscious guilt. If those guilts are not released before we die, that becomes unconscious guilt and remain so in our next incarnation.

If they are not released from the mind, the soul reincarnates to release the guilt.

Now, what is meant by releasing the guilt?
Releasing it to the source will absolve the soul.

How this is done?

Mostly in our dreams, they are released. Such dreams will be vivid with images and we are likely to remember the dream even after several days it happened. It may be horrible but we won't be afraid. Rather, a sense of guiltless feeling will be clearly sensed.

Ok, when these dreams will occur? Of course during sleep, but I don't mean it that way.
When we are told to forgive self and forgive others. This has great, profound meaning folks. If practiced to the fullest core like God, we are certain see a different world, the world of utopia is easily possible if every human being starts forgiving self and others.

I am not repeating what I have read simply for the sake of preaching; I am practicing what I read and seeing the results almost immediately. So, here I am sharing with you what I read and how it affected me positively.

ps: As wrote this article, Zamanta suggested me to read this blog post about the meaning of 7 repeated dreams. This can probably throw some light for your unasked question.
