ARTArticleLord Krishna and Babaji Speak about Commitment to Earth's AscensionGreetings my friend, In the Great Master Certification Training today, I came across a very timely conversatio I was privileged to have with Lord Krishna and Babaji back on Oct. 12, 2006. Feel the powerful transmission in this message and use it to IGNITE your OWN commitment towards raising your frequency for the ascension of humanity and the planet. Imagine yourself having this conversation as you read it...My responses are italicized. Namaste, Toby Alexanderr Swami Shivananda Brahmananda Oct. 12, 2006 Babaji Nagaraj:ARTArticleMake God LaughI know God is laughing at me today. Probably a pretty good chuckle, too. I told him of my plans for my business- how much money I will be making, what type of employees will be working for me, and how much fun I will be having speaking and writing. I commented on how clients will receive the relief and motivation they need to make changes to experience a wonderful life. I expressed to Him how my relationships are growing and blossoming, how I feel confident and courageous in both my personal and business growth. And how much I love my beautifully decorated, freshly cleaned home.r ARTArticleMake Money Online: Plan Properly and Set Clear and Inspiring GoalsWhether a person is looking to earn extra income at home or wants to build an easy home based business that will allow them to support themselves and/or their families, proper planning is the key. Most Internet marketers fail because they don’t plan. This is unfortunate, but quite common. When I started I made the same mistake. I jumped right into Internet marketing without proper planning and setting clear goals. The results were miserable. I’ve learned a lot since then, and now understand the importance of developing a detailed and measurable IM roadmap.ARTArticleMaking Life Work for YouThere is an old adage, “Life is what you make it,” and I couldn’t agree more. Life doesn’t need to be so complex; in fact, it can be easy and stress free! Sounds, too good to be true, right? Do you know why that is? It’s because we come from a society where we have been taught the harder we work the more we get and the more we acquire the more successful we will be. This age old mentality is WRONG!ARTArticleMaking Peace With TimeAre you in a losing battle with time? Do you have too much to do and not enough time to do it? Are you always running late or just making it under the wire without a moment to spare? The time issue is a struggle for many. Rather than criticizing yourself or blaming your responsibilities for your troubles, let's stop and take a look at what makes up a time commitment.ARTArticleMarriage, A Promise To Grow.Marriage is not just the act of two people who love each other making their relationship public and permanent. Marriage is the promise of two people to enter into a bond (with the intention that it will last until death) which will constantly require growth from both parties in order to stay intact. For many reasons, marriage in this day and age is increasingly cut short by divorce. Couples often venture into marriage with the illusion that their relationship and feelings for each other will never change. But relationships are a dynamic, mutable force.ARTArticleMars enters Aquarius / Actions toward EvolutionMars (energy, action) enters the intellectual and rebellious realm of Aquarius on January 15, 2011 for six weeks. Where we would have been steady and ste in achieving goals with Mars in Capricorn ~ with Mars in Aquarius, we’re experimenting with ideas that haven’t been used, while searching for inspiration on an unlea ed path. We’re openly resistant against traditional and the same old routine, and stepping into nontraditional options – to find a bigger meaning to our life.ARTArticleMeditation Basics - Learning How to Listen to That Silence WithinIt truly is amazing how every Spiritual book you read can be broken down into simply saying be still within. No doubt about it be still within can be experienced through the practice of meditation and learning how to listen to that silence within. In the Bible, it speaks of how God is always with you, yet more than that it speaks of how when your unity with God grows, your ability to overcome and conquer your fears grows as well. For instance, allow your mind to resonate with the following words from the Bible...ARTArticleMeditation CDs for Power NapsIt used to be that meditatio CDs were just pleasant music and perhaps some “sounds of nature” thrown in. There is nothing wrong with that. They were relaxing and could help you get into a meditative state. But the newest recordings use more than just a light tune and the sound of rain or waves. The good ones now use embedded beats and pulses that lead your brainwaves into the desired state. These new brainwave entrainment technologies are powerful.ARTArticleMind MedicineEverything about this physical life that you now lead is experienced from the standpoint of your physical body. If you have suffered from a physical ailment, you already know that when your body is in a state of illness, it reflects out into all aspects of your mind. What is overlooked in society today is that the reverse is also true. When your mind is in a state of illness, it reflects its self out into all aspects of your body.ARTArticleMLM - Learning the Ropes of Multi Level Marketing and AdvertisingOne of the fastest growing businesses in the market today is Multi Level Marketing or MLM. What is MLM? What is MLM advertising? Despite the wide reception that MLM has received, it is for certain that it is still quite misunderstood. Many people would often equate it with selling beauty products and home appliances, and worse still, with the famed pyramiding scam. But multi level marketing is neither one of these. Because the principles behind MLM are rock solid and dependable, it has become one of the most reputable business methods ever. What is MLM?ARTArticleMoonlight Becomes YouOur outer surroundings supply nourishment for creative endeavors and the pursuit of fulfilling the dream of living a quality life. The not so obvious challenge that we each face is how to grow an internal life that matches the vibrancy and illumination that makes up our outer reality. Are you living a desert life, when you have the real opportunity to live a more moist, lush and fruit-bearing life? This is not to say that the desert isn’t beautiful, it is just that it must work harder to survive under the rays of an often too harsh and relentlessly hot sun.ARTArticleMore Freedom for the Material GirlIt’s become more and more apparent to me lately that I’m a child of the 80's. I may have been born in the late 60's but my high school and college years spanned the full spectrum, 1981-1989. Not only do I remember the Reagan years as the “all about me” years but I can hear just about any 80's tune and know precisely where I was and who I was hanging out with at the time of it’s release.ARTArticleMother Daughter Relationships -- 5 Most Common Mistakes#1) Judge and Criticize Her Your daughter needs to know that you support and love her no matter what she does. There are times when it will be really hard to understand her reasoning for doing what she does but at the same time if you begin to judge and criticize her it will only lead to more suffering. You don’t have to like what she does and you certainly don’t have to agree with it but the love and support you give her will help her to realize that you are there for her no matter what and will lead to a more trusting relationship. #2) Never Forgive Her ARTArticleMy Dog, My Rock and Even My Clock!I’m not big on schedules and structures, though I would like to be. I admire those who create their own schedules and stick to them as well as those who accept institutional structures that tell them where to be, what to do, when to show up and how long to stay. I, on the other hand, am one of those people who is often held hostage by my artistic temperament. In fact, I can quickly become resentful of any person or institution that tells me what to do or when to do it.ARTArticleNatural Cleaning Products For a Sparkling, Non-Toxic HomeDo you worry about the toxic chemicals that you use to clean your home? Natural cleaning products can be used as effectively as the more expensive store-bought ones, and can be made with materials you likely already have in your home.ARTArticleNextA man rushes into a national coffee chain talking loudly on his cell phone as if there was no one in the store that could hear him. A steady stream of people are coming and going, in and out not noticing who is there or what is happening around them. Have they noticed the noise of the machine steaming the milk? Or the brightly colored art work on the walls? Did they even smell the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee?ARTArticleNose to the GrindstoneHave you ever heard the term “keep your nose to the grindstone?” Although sources cite different origins to the phrase, it has come to describe someone who works hard and steady at something that is tedious and boring. Many historians believe that the origin of the phrase was passed down through the centuries by millers who would put their nose onto or near their millstones (or grindstones) so they could smell if their turning of the stones was burning the grains.ARTArticleObjects of ProjectionI suppose the clouds of squelched guilt had been gathering for some time in the dark recesses of my scant gray matter. Following a weekend in which I appeared to have remained remarkably right-minded despite distressing developments in the objects of my projectio I awoke once more mouthing the words of A Course in Miracles workbook lesson 185: “I want the peace of God.” “To say these words is nothing,” I read. “But to mean these words is everything.”ARTArticleOffice Politics: Surviving the Rat Race“The Apprentice,” produced and presided over by the mogul and billionaire, Donald Trump reminds me of the manipulations and treachery that are prevalent in most work places. In fine and proper language, it is called “Office Politics”. Backbiting, mudslinging and bickering are often the backdrop of most institutional setups. Camps, caucuses, groups and subgroups, all add to the fun and excitement of work place politics. It is indeed like a game of cards, where aces, queens and kings play each other out to attain desired goals.ARTArticleOpening Your Heart to Love in Order to Find the Strength to ForgiveJust suppose you could open your heart to love in order to find the strength to forgive. How often have you found yourself experiencing some kind of circumstance in which you find forgiving someone (or maybe even yourself) nearly impossible. In the past you may have thought that holding on to feelings of resentment or judgment simply felt safer, that you wanted people to change before you were going to be willing to forgive them. Know in your mind now that you will be able to discover another answer to finding the strength to forgive.r ARTArticleOptimism: A wonderful antidote for stressWouldn't it be nice to look at an aco and already see a mighty oak? How about perceiving every image of despair as hope and transmuting every idea of sorrow into joy. Sounds too technical, doesn’t it? Well the idea is about focusing your energy on a positive outcome rather than a negative one. When you train your mind’s lens to project beyond what you see and then begin to allow it to build a perfect and pure image, you will automatically be set free from pollutants that poison your true and perfect essence. How then can we create that heaven on earth? Check out these suggestions.ARTArticlePivitol ThinkingA definition of the word pivot is to consciously change the direction of one’s thoughts; to deliberately choose a thought that is in vibrational harmony with one’s desires. When we decide to take responsibility for the authorship and ownership of the quality of our lives, we take on the role of both creative director and chief editor of our daily realities. These two tasks, creating and editing, require different skills.ARTArticlePluto Stations Direct, The Constipation Ends, Time to Release and FlushThe latest cosmic event involves the transformational Pluto. If you can think about the events in your life, for the past five months we’ve either been dealing with, or holding on, to much more than we probably thought we could handle, as described in my previous Pluto post ‘Swallowing the Vomit‘. As Pluto has been flowing ‘backwards’ through the summer, more intense issues or secrets maybe have been revealed. This was to help us understand where toxcities have have been buried but also decaying in certain areas of our lives or relationships.ARTArticlePower of PerceptionYour world is always a crystallization of your thought. The picture comes into existence, first in your mental faculty, before it becomes a solid full blown image in the physical world. The mind is indeed a powerful machine that readily accepts impressions and information we send to it. You are the creator of your own experience, negative or positive. You are also the writer of your own stories, good or bad. To be a giant or an ant is nobody’s choice but yours.ARTArticlePower of Prayer – Are You Waiting For Something To Happen?It’s no secret that there is a tremendous amount of power in the act of praying? As you already more than likely realize the act of prayer is your opportunity to talk to God. Today I don’t know how long you will wait to begin listening to God yet I get the sense that sometimes after you pray you seem to be waiting for something to happen when the truth is that “happening” is already in progress.ARTArticlePrayer Beads in Tibetan BuddhismTibetan prayer beads are called malas (also called japa malas), which translates in Sanskrit as garland. Most Tibetan prayer beads have 108 beads, but some have 21 or 28 beads, which are used when doing prostrations. In 108 bead malas, 100 of the beads are counted as the practitioner recites 100 mantras, with the extra 8 recitations completed to account for any mistakes made during the repetition. As each mantra is recited, each bead is held in the fingers in sequence until one comes to the end of the prayer bead circle.ARTArticlePrayer Flags and Tibetan BuddhismPrayer flags are believed to have originated with the Shakyamuni Buddha, who had prayers written on flags that were taken into battle to protect the warriors. The traditional Bon religion of Tibet, which was in effect before Buddhism, also employed prayer flags in which important symbols were put on flags for protection. It’s believed that they later incorporated Buddhist prayers onto their flags when the religion became the predominate one of their culture.ARTArticlePrinciples of Raja MeditationFunny story actually, one night I had this really overly intense dream about being in a forest, and coming to this giant oak tree. The top of the tree turned into a three-headed dragon, and I had to battle with it. Some days later I was walking through Barnes and Noble and came across a novella called “Slaying the Three Dragons” by Anthony Swano. Obviously I had to acquire it. It’s a really amazing book, the author is a devoted monk who is well versed in the principles of Raja Meditation. Coincidentally, I’m also writing an article about that right now– far out, huh?ARTArticlePromote Your Spiritual Growth: A Magical Time AloneMagic for me is that instant recognition of connection, which includes flow, love, compassion, giving and receiving equally, respect, learning, self-awareness, consciousness, peace, solace, silence, creativity, laughter, joy, freedom, balance, gratitude, acknowledgment, simplicity, faith, being OK with the unknown and uncomfortable times, meaning, insight, purpose, and risks. I turn to my Random House dictionary that it tells me magic is the art of producing a desired result through the forces of nature.
