Tarot by Carolyn.

None in India knows Tarot Cards reading. I believe it requires lot of experience and more over the reader of tarot cards should be psychologically fine tuned.

Also, the card reader should know how to ask questions precisely. Tarot was not widely adopted by mystics, occultists and secret societies until the 18th and 19th century.

Although tarot cards were used for fortune-telling in Bologna, Italy in the 1700s, they were first widely publicized as a divination method by Alliette, also called "Etteilla", a French occultist who reversed the letters of his name and worked as a seer and card diviner shortly before the French Revolution.

How it works:
Tarot by Carolyn says, "Tarot works on the principle of energy and attraction – like attracts like, a Universal Law. According to your energy and attitudes in life, you choose cards from your intuitive mind, which represent that vibrational pattern in your evolution. The sincerity and respect with which you approach the Tarot is equivalent to the depth of the answer you receive."

Earn your PhD online.

Now that I have completed my M.Phil in mathematics, my family is urging me to do a doctorate program in Mathematics.

But I think I have had enough of education. It is so bugging to make a serious study at this age. Now, I want to enjoy life at a leisurely pace.

Though I said a flat ‘NO’, when I was lying on my bed, I started pondering over the plus and minus of taking up a doctorate course. Suddenly Capella University came to my mind.

Capella University is an accredited, fully online university that offers graduate online degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, and psychology, and bachelor’s degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety. It was founded in 1993.

I resolved to check up with capella university the next day and find out if they offer a PhD program in Mathematics or Education.

Carrying resentment is like drinking acid.

Mankind's another tendency is to feel happy secretly when something bad happens to someone we don't like. Our inner dialogue will be, "I knew it was coming to them, after all they deserve that".

This resentment that we carry on us is pure poison. We know from science and experience that carrying resentment around is like drinking acid. It corrodes us from the inside out, causes health problems, and keeps us unhappy.

At times like this, we conveniently forget the important aspect of Law of Attraction and that is
what we focus on, grows. If we wish bad things for others, that wish boomerangs on us.

If we wish that other people will"get what they deserve" we are wishing the same for ourselves. In the Christian tradition, Jesus said that we will be judged by the same standards with which we judge others.

So what is the course of action?
Just forgive man! Just Forgive. It eliminates the negative effects of resentment and allows you to attract more good things to yourself.

We are all connected. Is there any doubt about it? So what happens to one of us affects all of us.

Allow the past to gently melt away.

"Let us bury the past"-says every spiritual development book but what we do? We strongly say "NO" and continue linger on our past experience thereby reactivating the feelings and emotions of the past.

On one aspect, re-living the good feelings is good because you are emotions are positive and you open up to receive higher vibrating energy but while thinking of the past, our tendency is mostly to think about our bad experiences and by doing that we re-live in negative emotions. This will definitely shut off all the doors to receiving cosmic energy.

We do forget so many names of friends we have met in the past, he names of the books we have read. Why, even we don't usually remember what we ate for dinner the previous day.

But we manage to remember the feelings of the past. We tend to contemplate our future by rating it with our mostly bad experiences of the past. Instead of anticipating a brighter outcome, we expect gloomy results and that is what we eventually experience because that has been our predominant thought.

Daily we clean the grime and dust of previous day off us. But we don't wipe out clean the past bad feelings from our heart. We carry insult and disrespect inflicted on us to the grave.

We must try to live spontaneously. I know it is difficult because of our years of conditioning. But it is possible and once you start living the 'NOW". you will realize the joy it brings.

The best hotel in Orlando.

Which hotel is the most suited one in Orlando if you are planning to take children as part of their school annual excursion?

My answer for my former colleague who asked this question was Seralago Hotel and Suites Main Gate East.

I gave the following reasons for my recommendation:

Children have their own gate-enclosed pool.

A dungeon-themed game room keeps them occupied.

The hotel offers Kid's Suites, which are comprised of a main room for adults and a themed area for children.

What else can you ask for? I have bookmarked certain websites for certain things. For me, it is always Orlando.com when I have to gather information about orlando area hotel. They have great many options that suit various budgets.

The Seralago Hotel and Suites Main Gate East in Kissimmee, Fla., is just off U.S. Highway 192, adjacent to Kissimmee's Old Town. The hotel is within three miles of Disney's Main Gate, less than five miles from Disney MGM Studios and seven miles from Downtown Disney and Epcot.

Orlando.com offers the most comprehensive travel and vacation arrangements in Orlando, with a travel guide offering tips on entertainment, dining, nightlife and more!

Studying your dreams.

Till three days before, I too was fascinated by the study of dreams and its interpretation. But when I read a very nice article by spiritual guru Jakki Vasudev, I stopped my quest.

In his answer to a question by a person about the meaning of a repeated dream, he answered a little bit strongly that we all stop our chase after the meaning of dreams and concentrate on the understanding of waking life.

There is an International Association for the Study of Dreams. It is a non profit organization dedicated to the pure and applied investigation of dreams.

This web site is meant for those who are very much interested about the meaning of dreams. They have created this association to do research about the significance of dreaming.

Ways to attract success.

The blog post titled "22 ways to attract success in your life" is very aptly named and also indicates that the author Mr.Biggs has read several spirituality books.

The word 'attract' is the correct word to use in this context. We need to attract success in our life experience and not strive hard. It is also not necessary.

If we know how to use the Law of Attraction, then we can very easily attract success. It is all about guiding our thoughts in the proper direction and about controlling our thoughts.

Before I read all the 22 steps, I was stuck at the first step and I kept pondering over it till I write this post.
I quote:
"Lead from Within - This is most important, to keep a calm and listen to yourself amidst all the chaos. Feel your decisions, follow you passion, it all comes from within".

I will now go and read the remaining 21 steps to attract success in my life.

Thank you Mr.Biggs.

An outstanding investment opportunity.

Do you know that silver was used in place of copper as there was a shortage of copper during second world war?

Probably that is when the silver price started going up. After the world war, the U.S. Government decided to bring down the price of silver by flooding the world market with billions of ounces worth silver bars.

But ironically, now the U.S. government is a silver buyer because it has depleted its silver storage.

Just after my marriage, I wanted to sell off my silver vessels that were given to by my father. My mother-in-law strongly advised me against it. Now I realize she is a visionary. At the current price, I cannot think of buying even a kilogram of silver.

But Monex, the trusted name in precious metals is strongly recommending us to buy silver bars and coins as an investment because they expect the price to soar further due to demand supply gap that is already widening.

The main advantage of buying precious metals like gold and silver from Monex is, we can arrange to store them on behalf of us at an independent bank or depository.

My husband’s friend who owns a big jewelry shop also feels that silver, and specifically silver coins present an outstanding investment opportunity.

Your free horoscope.

It is not that don't believe in Astrology but I simply don't have interest in it.

I have met a lot of astrologers in my life who always took my horoscope from my father and announced unsolicited predictions which invariably varied from person to person.

So, I came to a clear conclusion that horoscope reading depends on the reader's knowledge.

About Astro is a website which offers free horoscope reading through email. It doesn't matter if you don't have your horoscope. If you just give your full name and your date of birth, the system will generate your horoscope.

I know that to generate a fairly accurate horoscope, you need to give your correct time of birth and the place of birth. But Aboutastro.com does not ask for these details.

Understanding the Law of Attraction.

Without exception, the Universe functions based on the Law of Attraction. First this fact have to go into our mind.

Next step is to understand what is this Law of Attraction and how it functions.

I will begin with an example. Let us say that at this very moment you are experiencing a mild pain in your tooth. This is a place where even a mild pain causes extreme discomfort.

The persistent pain leads you to behave edgy. So, apart from the pain, your behaviour also changes to unpleasantness.

The pain worsens and so too your mood and behaviour. What caused the increase in the pain? Your focus only. By habit, you are conditioned to focus on the discomfort believing that it will ease your pain but it is not so actually.

Your focus on the pain increased it by the law of attraction. Which means, your focus on whatever it may be attracts more of it.

Now, read this again and you will come to know where to fix your focus in future.

Easy shopping with Krillion search engine.

Sunday afternoon is always a dull period-what do you say? After eating rather heavily, we tend to take a satisfying nap but after that ‘what’ is the question that poses itself on us.

Nothing was different on the past Sunday too, so, I sleepily switched on my desktop and logged on to the net. As usual, I opened Sify first to see the headlines. While browsing through the headlines, a stunning looking bird winked at me from the screen of panasonic HDTV and below it was an offer of a bonus DVD player.

Yes! I was hooked flat and I wonder whether the advertiser is aware of my emotions. I guess he is, as he would have visualized viewers’ reaction when producing the ad.

I noted down the model number and opened my ready reckoner Krillion, the Localization Engine which will let me know the dealer in my locality. It produces the search results that provide the most accurate local shopping results available on the Web for consumers looking for products and where to buy.

Krillion, founded in February 2007, is located in Mountain View, CA and is funded by Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.

Free past life reading.

Mankind's most coveted knowledge is the wish to know who were they in their previous birth. Without passing judgment, I would say it is such a waste of time seeking answers to this quest when we have so much to learn and understand in this life.

Well, I am not here to deviate people from such desires but in fact, I can guide them to a source that says will give you a free reading of your past life.

This is called as a clairvoyant experience and through such experience, many problems of the present life are said to be solved by persons who are clairvoyant.

Pre birth memories.

"I have had memories of an existence of my soul before my birth from a very young age. I must say I recall sitting around in clothe diapers with the little plastic cover on them wondering about where I came from. The funniest part is that I recall thinking "How am I going to get everything done when I can't even walk yet?"

Those were the words of Toni describing her pre-birth experiences.

I strongly believe in the eternal nature of the soul, so I definitely believe Tony. Yes, this is an exceptional case and not all are likely to have similar experience.

Just before entering our body, we specifically chose the parents, family, circumstances and the environments. This decision is taken with crystal clear clarity.

Those who still retain memories of the life before this are said to have the ability to establish the divine collection as and when they desire.

Tony is not alone; there are more who have reported pre-birth memories. Go to Pre Birth Experience to get acquainted with such people.

The success behind direct marketing.

An online contact of mine is a lady doctor. She is a pediatrician. She serves economically deprived children in villages. She sought my help to earn something extra as a second income since she is not earning much in her service oriented profession.

I taught her some basics of affiliate marketing. For more than 4 months, she did not contact me. Three days before she called me suddenly and happily informed me that my coaching paid off and she now makes a steady income though affiliate marketing.

Frankly, I was surprised because, during my nine years of internet marketing, I earned only a handful of dollars through affiliate marketing. I never could get it going as I desired. I asked my friend some more details. She told me that she is into direct marketing in a big way and Martin Worldwide’s Responsecom literally making her all the money.

Yes, I have heard about Martin Worldwide as one of the leading lists brokers in the Internet and their mailing list is a multi-dimensional database that offers extreme versatility and over 100 demographic and psychographic selects.

Chip Matthews, Client Relationship Manager for Martin Worldwide says that “ResponseCom™ is the result of decades of tracking, compiling, and optimizing data merged into one vast database of proven direct mail responders. As a result, our clients have experienced higher response rates, profitability, and new business opportunities.”

So far, I have been focusing only on the known marketing methods and now, I know exactly what I should do.

Get it done by your angels.

Do you know you can get things done by simple communication with your angels? Well, some call them as angels and some call them as your inner being.

I would prefer to call them as angels since it is a nice sounding word. Since childhood, we associate angels are benevolent being, kind and compassionate.

Yes, coming to the subject, anything you desire or anything which you feel is not in your hands and can be done only by a supreme source can be achieved if you sincerely communicate with them.

See, I am not writing this just because I read it in all the spirituality books. Sure, I read it but I also practiced it and experienced the expected result with heartfelt gratitude.

For example, these are the things that make you worry:
A mild ailment.
A work you want to complete but could find a way.
A person you are expecting to bring some good news to you.

Well, the list may go on endlessly; you just replace the above with yours.

This is what you do:
Just before you close your eyes to sleep, say silently in your mother tongue, whatever you want to get it done the next day. Or, you can even wish to sleep soundly with wonderful dreams.
While talking mentally, imagine that you are communicating with your inner self. This imagination may not come easily in the beginning but it will come in a matter of days.

I assure you that you will experience the expected outcome the next day without fail.

How clutters resist flow.

Our entire family is devoted to the Mother.

I have read several books by her. In one of her books, she wrote about the importance of clutter free atmosphere and I too have blogged about it twice earlier.

Yesterday, I was reading 'Ask and it is Given' by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

In that book, there is a mention about the clutter we leave behind in our house and office and how they affect the flow of Universe.

The entire Universe is vibrational without exception. The books, clothes, cricket bat, a bundle of thread, some old news papers that are lying in our house corners and under the cot also vibrate.
Since we also vibrate constantly, there is a relationship between those items I wrote above.

So, your personal belongings do have an impact on the way you feel and on your point of attraction. A cluttered environment can cause a cluttered point of attraction. They can negatively affect your emotion and consequently you develop a negative (resistance) vibration that hinders the free flow of life energies.

Spoilers improve your vehicle’s performance.

First you must know what a spoiler is. So, please take a look at the image below.

Yes, you have seen it on many vehicles. This is a recent addition to cars and vans. Ten years before, it was not that popular. Now every auto accessories dealer knows about wings and spoilers.

A spoiler is an aerodynamic device attached to an automobile whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle. This can result in improved vehicle stability by decreasing lift or decreasing drag that may cause unpredictable handling in a car at speed.

Initially, spoilers were fitted to high speed race cars only. But now they have become common on passenger vehicles, as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse. The main design goal of a spoiler in passenger vehicles is to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency.

At BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com, one can buy spoilers for all major car models.

Tap into your potential.

I am at present reading the life changing book ‘Ask and it is given’ by the Hicks couple. Today, I thought I could write on that here but I changed my mind at the last moment and decided to visit the next blog on the list of Personal Development Blogs.

I happened to click on Monk at Work by Adam Kayce. The moment I landed on it, I liked it very much. I have fallen in love with monk image.( I will not disclose this to the monk)

The tag lone goes like this:

"Providing you with tools to tap into your potential.

Monk at Work is here to help you become clear on the purpose and meaning behind your work, so you can attract and serve the people who love what you do."

I read the post, "Recipe for Success; Wear Good Shoes". I enjoyed the article and his view about practical spirituality.

I quote:

"I didn’t leave the worldly to experience the spiritual. Instead, I allowed the spiritual to form the basis of how I went about the worldly. "

Very well said and yes, it is practical spirituality.

If you have not yet bought this book, buy it now.

What it is like to die.

I remember a question that was asked by a reader of the Tamil magazine 'Ananda Vikatan'.

Question:
How do I get relieved of the fear of death?

Answer: (by Madan, the famous cartoonist)
When death occurs, we will not be there; so why fear the unknown?

Great reply-isn't it?

"What it is like to die?"-the question that cannot be answered by anyone is taken up for a bit of explanation by a few scientists and their observation is reported in Sky News.

"New Scientist magazine has pondered the subject in great depth in its latest issue, discussing the various ways of meeting one's end, from being burned alive to drowning and decapitation.

The experts have taken their evidence from advances in medical sciences and accounts from lucky survivors. Whatever the mode of death, it is usually a lack of oxygen to the brain that delivers the "coup de grace", says the report.".

An interesting study but why take up this research? Will it in anyway alleviate the fear of death? No, I don't think so.

Can you measure your emotions.

It is very easy to linger on any particular emotion when you keep adding fuel to it-be it a positive or negative emotion.

Even after reading so many books and articles on emotions and ways to gauge them, I am unable to control negative emotions simply because I fall prey to unnecessary provocations.

The human tendency to spend more time on negative emotions, keep expecting events or continue an inner dialogue on he lines which we really don't want but still remain in that state.

Warning! Your ego is at work!

But can we really measure our emotions? Is there way to gauge them?

Yes, I believe so and so too Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks, the authors of "The Astonishing Power of Emotions".

Here is a review on that book:
"A wonderful book for those open to changing their lives to include happiness and abundance. includes a cd. Many chapters are devoted to various common scenarios in peoples' lives that cause pain, with helpful instruction on how to channel your thoughts to go with the flow and increase your happiness during the troubling times. teaches you step by step to become all you can be, which is who you really are and not the limited being stuck in a body like we usually think we are."

Personal development blogs reviewed.

Somehow I am determined to visit all the blogs that are listed in the list of Personal Development blogs in spite of my busy schedule. Otherwise, what is the point of getting added to that blogroll?

In the right sidebar of this blog, I have created a widget for Personal Development blogs and already I have listed three blogs that I reviewed.

As and when I find time, I intend to visit all the blogs one by one and write a short review of it. The purpose of review is only to introduce to you what I like in that blog and how it will also benefit you.

When I complete a review, I will add it in the widget.

Today is the turn of Aaron Potts at Today is That Day.
Aaron Potts lives in northeast Florida, near Jacksonville.

He says the purpose of his blog is 'Empowerment'. Good! A very nice way to express his inner commitment.

Then, he writes about my most favorite subject, 'The Law of Attraction".

For example, please read his wonderful article on "The Top 3 Law of Attraction Secrets - Especially for Non-believers".

I believe in the joy of reading; so I let you click on the link to read it for yourself.

I noticed that Aaron Potts also reads Lynn M Taggart. I too recently bought the book on 'The Intention Experiment'.

I intend to spend more time on Aaron Potts blog. There is much to read.

What is a poverty mentality.

Is there such a thing as poverty mentality? No one would like to remain poor. So, where is the question of poverty mentality?

Now, read this sentence again.: "No one would like to remain poor".
Here is is the focus on not remaining poor and the focus is not on getting rich.

I think this is what Randy Gage is also talking about. The focus is not on abundance but the lack of it. With the help of Dr.Wayne Dyer, I have recognized the poverty mentality.
" When you spend money, don't think you are depleting your resources but think that you are creating more space for money to come in".

Isn't that thought provoking? It changes your basic belief about money which you should treat it as an energy only and not as something physical.

Lose weight with lap band.

How very convenient if we were created with:

A switch which when turned off stops our thinking process;

A pair of eyes at the back of our head too, to be aware of what is happening in our back;

A button when pressed stops our nails growing;

A way to alter the size of our stomach;

Of all the above, the last one which is really longed for by the obese people is now made possible with the advent of Tampa lapband surgery that is now very popular in the U.S.

After reading about other bariatric (relating to or specializing in the treatment of obesity) surgeries, I understand that with the lab band surgery, the urge to eat is not reduced keeping the appetite as it is.

Journey Lite specializes in Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding which is also known as LAGB or the LAP-BAND® System procedure.

In this procedure, your Journey Lite surgeon inserts an inflatable adjustable gastric band through small (laparoscopic) incisions and positions the band around the upper portion of your stomach. This creates a small stomach pouch and passageway into the lower part of the stomach. This procedure will allow you to feel full and satisfied while you actually eat less and lose excess weight.

This is wonderful news for the over weight people who might have tried many methods to reduce their weight like food supplements and severe diet restrictions that always led to harmful side effects.

Lapband surgery is totally safe because it doesn’t require cutting, stapling or rerouting of the stomach or intestines; it is also reversible and adjustable.

Journey Lite is a fast growing network of specialized surgical facilities, highly skilled and experienced bariatric surgeons and a team of healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the safest and least invasive surgical weight-loss solution and the most comprehensive support programs available today.

Morning Charge Angelight.

Morning charge Angelight-a very nice name even to pronounce, is a music that is a music that is said to improve our daily attitude and productivity.

This healing music takes you though a personal journey of renewal and rejuvenation.

Don't discard it off as yet another subliminal music that programs your subconscious mind. This music is not embedded with kind of subliminal messages. This is created purely to recharge your usual tension filled morning.

Yes, I can understand the aim behind its creation. For me, the morning hours are the most productive and I seem to complete several tasks with surprising clarity between 7 AM to 10 AM.

Like the url of this blog, Healing-Music-Therapy is a website that offers music album for:

*positive attitude and better productivity.
*top up and refresh yourself anytime you need to.
*stress relief, relaxation and better sleep.

But I definitely don't like that is written in their web site, "If you believe that you are not sick, this may prevent you from embracing the healing power of ANGELIGHT music therapy".

I feel they should think again on those lines.

Never expect something you don't desire.

"You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power." -Wallace Wattles

Wallace Wattles is the author of “Science of getting rich”.

Shall we examine why he laid that much emphasis on the power of gratitude?

As per dailygratitude.com, the answer is simple - "The principle of cause and effect".

Though we mutter thanks several times a day, do we really mean it or do we say that out of habit?

But we know when we really mean it, when we say ‘Thank you very much”, at times we receive something which would not have been possible by our own effort. It will come from our heart with the full meaning of gratitude.

“Ungratefulness pushes thing away. When we get something and our reaction is that it's not big enough, good enough, pretty enough, or valuable enough, the supply will shut down”.-DailyGratitude.com

When do we fail to feel gratitude; whenever we feel that something that is done for us is not all that important-right? So where is focus then; on that which is missing.

What happens at such a situation? We attract that ‘missing’ more there by shutting out the best.

The more we express gratitude, the more we expect to have things to be grateful for.

Raymond Holliwell said, "Never expect something you don't desire, and never desire something you don't expect."

With deep gratitude to: Dailygratitude.com

You can only draw a picture.

What else can you do but to show your anger on your boss by drawing a picture of him only to tear it off later?

But some employees are lucky to have superiors who are very reasonable. So, let me leave them out of my discussion. I will deal with them later, when they take a satisfactory retirement.

Frustrated employees certainly might have thought about starting their own business but the thought of huge capital and other infrastructural expenses might have forced them to procrastinate.

But with vendstar, you neither require huge capital nor any infrastructure. With only a few thousand dollars towards franchisee fee, you can start off and grow at a steady pace.

If you go in for just one vending machine, you can add more machines without any further out of pocket money. Your first venture will itself take care of further growth because the profit margin is extremely attractive and the business is a cash business.

Vendstar has now opened its doors to other parts of the world apart from the U.S. Since 2003, they brought in 9,000 members to the Vendstar Family. This number continues to grow, with customers finding plenty of room and demand to expand their vending routes and territories.

What is a paranormal resource?

I keep coming across this word, 'Paranormal' and I only that paranormal means anything that is above normal.

If a person is said to posses qualities that are not seen generally in most of the human beings or if a person performs something extraordinary physically which even a physically much well built cannot do, then that person is said to be paranormal.

According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions.

I would call telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis are all paranormal qualities.

Anecdotal evidence:

Though not scientific, an anecdotal approach to the paranormal involves the collection of anecdotal evidence, which is an informal account of something that presumably happened. Anecdotes are often in contrast to empirical evidence, which are types of formal accounts that can be investigated using the scientific method.

Wikipedia says that Charles Fort (1874 – 1932) is perhaps the best known collector of paranormal anecdotes, who is supposed to have compiled as many as 40,000 notes on unexplained phenomena.

I would very much like to read his compilation which I am sure will make an interesting reading. Can anyone tell me where I can get that?

I read that http://psychics.co uk has a massive paranormal resource with lots of real life stories and one of the busiest free psychic chat rooms on the Web.

Thank you Wikipedia!

The dream of lucid dreaming.

Ever since I learnt about lucid dreaming, I wanted to develop that quality though I never took serious efforts.

But the desire was residual and I also blogged about it once and discussed with a friend of mine in great detail a few months back.

Without actually realizing I started remembering my dreams vividly even after a few days and last night it happened-the lucid dreaming. Yes, I while I was dreaming about a religious function that I intended to initiate, I distinctly realized that I am dreaming and this is not a reality.

I think my strong desire to develop lucid dreaming quality finally manifested itself. I don’t know whether it will happen again or not but I was elated.

High quality Titleist used golf balls.

Only a few weeks before I first came to know that used golf balls also are being bought extensively in the U.S. I had a doubt whether golf clubs like tennis clubs sell off used golf balls.

Then only I learnt that the used golf balls are actually supposed to be lost in golf courses and they are later retrieved and sold at a cheaper prize. This is carried out in an organized manner by LostGolfBalls.com.

Actually, it has earned a contract to retrieve the lost golf balls from as many as 2500 golf courses. It is quite often that golf balls get lost while playing and invariably, neither the golf players nor the grounds men bother to search for them.

This is where LostGolfBalls.com comes into the picture. It retrieves the lost golf balls, and clean them meticulously, sort them by quality and by brand too.

They are then packed neatly and sold at a very cheap prize. Among various brands, Titleist golf balls are generally in high demand followed by other brands that includes Nike and Wilson.

Lost Golf Balls announced recently that it has furthered its mission of recycling used golf balls by becoming a preferred supplier of The First Tee, an organization dedicated to promoting character development and life-enhancing values to underprivileged children through the game of golf.

Do children exist before conception?

As I am deeply interested in the mysteries of life, I have bought several books on Life Mysteries, life before and after death, astral world, out of body experiences and intrepretations of dreams etc.

I remember reading that before we are born, the time we spend on the astral world following the previous birth's death, may vary depending on the growth of our spiritual development in the previous birth.

For the next incarnation, we choose the parents and place of birth that will further our spiritual growth.

Elisabeth Hallett has written an interesting article on the title of this blog post. An excerpt is given below that will certainly make you read the article fully.

"But are these arrangements hard and fast? Some experiences point to a certain creative flexibility at play in the pre-conception world. For example, a four-year-old girl told her mother that before she was born, she and Jesus used to sit together while she decided whether to be a boy in one family or a girl in another. "She said she decided at the last minute to come to us as a girl," the mother reports, "and then she and Jesus laughed and went off to play till it was time to go." It may not be hard evidence, but it's thought-provoking! "

Thank you Elisabeth Hallett!

Answeres directly from God!

Follwing is the list of answeres by God for questions asked by a man.

I give below only the answeres as they are thought provoking and absolutely true even without the questions.

Would you take a simple test just for fun? Try to write the relevant questions for each answer.
Then at the end of this blog post, find the link to the original post with full questions and answeres.

Yes, these answeres and questions belong to another blogger and I am extremely happy to have found it and equally happy to share it with you.

God: Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.

God: Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.
Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

God: When they suffer they ask, "Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask, "Why me?" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, yet few want to be on the side of the truth.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

God: Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.

A statistic somewhere I read says that at present more than 78,000 travel related web sites operate online. This statistics doesn’t cover offline travel service providers. Shall we assume equal number of entrepreneurs offline?

How do all these businesses survive? Where do they go for customers? How do they announce new travel packages and discount holiday deals?

I wonder whether Martin Worldwide is aware of the above statistics! They must be or how else they are considered to be the number 1 business leads provider in the world?

Travel leads as well as hospitality business leads are worth several million dollars to the entire hospitality industry. Even other related industries in this sector such as entertainment, hobby and time share resorts also depend on leads provided by Martin Worldwide because they give guarantee to the performance of the leads.

Their high potential product ResponseCom is the outcome of long years tracking, filtering and compiling. I read one testimonial somewhere in a forum. The testifier was located as far as SriLanka and he says that the response rate of the travel leads that he purchased from Martin Worldwide was excellent.

Velukudi Krishnan on Bhagavat Gita.

Our entire family gets up by 6.30 AM daily excluding weekends to watch Velukudi Krishnan speak on Bhagavat Gita.

With his booming voice and crystal clear pronunciation, he explains every slogam of Bhagavat Gita interspersed with interesting examples.

The way he explains some very deep meaning of the slogams is easy to follow and practice. He gives several historical anecdotes during his 15 minutes recital.

The way the universe functions, who and where we are, what is our role in this life, for what purpose we take birth, what is God's role are all explained as Lord Krishna's Bhagavat Gita.

The 15 minutes pass away very quickly and suddenly when it is over, we involuntarily salute him in gratitude. It is being telecast in Podhigai TV.

How to write effective affirmations?

I firmly believe in the power of affirmations and I have written about it in the past.

I have subscribed to many web sites who email me daily one or two positive affirmations with detailed explanations about how those affirmations work and for what purpose.

Today, I have received an email from Quantum Mind Power about how to write our own affirmations. This is an eye opener for me because, I have committed a few mistakes in the past while I wrote affirmations to my friends.

I give below a few examples:

1. The affirmation must be believable to the subconscious mind.

If you are financially broke and you say to yourself “I earn $100,000 per year”, is this believable to your mind? Instead of saying “I earn $100,000 per year,” Say “I choose to earn $100,000 per year”

2. The subconscious mind seeks for proof.
It is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor. How can we turn this to our advantage?
Instead of feeling pain when spending money, what if we associate pleasure with it? Next time when you go out shopping, at the moment you take out

your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself “I always have more than enough to spend.”


3. The affirmation must obey the 3 Ps factor.

The 3 Ps are Positive, Present Tense, and Personal.

Enjoy a free journey to Atlantis

Fearful and apprehensive faces were seen in the queue that was standing to buy the tickets that will allow them to take the unforgettable journey to Atlantis. But most of the children showed expectation on their faces with no sign of any fear.

We saw a few of them the day before also at the Shark Encounter in the Sea World Orlando. That was also a thrilling experience. We rode through a specially made carrier in a big tank full of sharks.

The familiar faces at the entrance to the journey to Atlantis also recognized us but their cheer turned into bewilderment when we simply walked past them without bothering to buy the tickets.

Yes, we were very fortunate to have bought the Disney World Tickets well in advance from Orlandofuntickets.com. More over, we were given the second day sight seeing free at the Disney World.

Though we felt sorry for our friends, we wondered why they have not planned their vacation like us.

My son who had befriended a teenager in that crowd gifted his Disney World brochure that he got from Orlandofuntickets.com. I thought it was a nice gesture. At least they will know how to save time and money for their future visit.

Stop Wanting!

What will be your reaction if you confront the words, "Stop Wanting". Persons new to spirituality may look confused or even get offended.

But, those who are inclined to read spirituality and self development may wait to hear further. I take this blog readers in the second category.

When I first read about this, it made a lot of sense to me. There is no denial that we should aspire for the best. We need not curb our desires for the fear of being labeled as greedy or crazy. We should not lend a willing ear to such opinions and at the same time we should not also criticize them.

What we should not do is to remain in the wanting state forever. This will attract more of that state of mind.

For example, let us say we want to enjoy a vacation at Hawaii. No, problem, everyone should go there and find out why the entire world is crazy about Hawaii.

Our wanting that vacation is now let in to the universe and it will conspire for us by providing the right opportunities at the right time, it will provide the required funds, move the right people who will be willing to be your guide.

Notice the emboldened letters-'right time'. So, when it is not materialized as per our wish, it is our nature to be disappointed and we let ourselves remain in the state of wanting (unfulfilled ).

In this state, we ignorantly shut ourselves from receiving the universal help because being in the state of depression or worry shut all avenues to receive the universal abundance.

So what is the solution?
Simply "Let go and Let God". When we let the universe know of our desires, we should firmly and unflinchingly believe that it will manifest at the right time and go about our day to day life cheerfully.

Oh yes! We can do one thing to speed up the process. We should start imagining our feelings and emotion as though we are in Hawaii.

How to do this?
Read websites about Hawaii, look to those serene beaches, read about vacation resorts and the amenities offered there, get to know about Hawaiian food and culture. This will keep you busy in your imagination.

The more vividly and lively your imagination the quicker your holiday will materialise.

In short, your imagination is more powerful than your will.

List of Personal Development blogs.

Yesterday was a 'no assignment' day for me which meant I could read various blogs of my interest, visit bloggers who have visited my blogs. A bit of blog promotion has to be done once in a way-right?

First, I stumbled on to a review of this blog in bloggeries. It was a pleasant surprise. I know that bloggeries is one of the top blog directories. Next, I found about bloggeries forum, registered and spend more than an hour there.

From there I visited a few blogs on spirituality and personal development. First I found out
One Powerful world and that led me to God Sleuth which subsequently led me to Priscilla Palmer's personal development list of blogs.

I was very impressed with the above three blogs and I know for sure that the entire list is worth spending to share my knowledge in the spiritual field and learn from others also.

I requested Priscilla that this blog may be included in her list and she promptly did the same.

The following is the said list of personal development blogs which I intend to visit one by one. It seems I have found a great treasure. I am really excited to have found so many blogs in my field of interest. I think this keep me busy for the next year.

Thank you Priscilla.
