Spiritual And Demonic Possession: 7 Common Symptoms

Are you or someone you know being influenced by lost souls or dark energy? There’s a world-wide epidemic today that most people don’t know much about. It’s a very common occurrence, yet it’s misunderstood and usually overlooked. It’s called spirit possession. “The Exorcist” movie was an exaggeration of the phenomenon, and a depossession by a priest is only one way to deal with it. It’s also known as spirit attachment and demonic possession. It happens when lost (disembodied) souls and, or dark energy interfere with or even take control of someone.

Influenced by Evil Spirits: 6 Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

Have you ever felt inexplicably angry, sad, exhausted, or otherwise not yourself? Ever experienced a dramatic personality change while under the influence of alcohol? It’s possible that those feelings weren’t you, but the affect of dark or other-dimensional energy. Based upon our empirical research, we believe it’s possible for lost souls, defined as those which have not yet gone to the Light after their physical bodies have died, to intrude in your everyday affairs, even to the point of dramatically influencing your behavior.

How Negative Thoughts Affect the Body

There is a profound electrical nature within our bodies in which senses, feelings, emotions, and instinctive responses are electrically transmitted instantly along the nerves to the brain. These electrical messages are constantly sent throughout the body, keeping us not only informed of personal and environmental conditions, but they are also the electrical systems that are vital to our physical health. When the energy stops flowing, we die.

Your Real Sign and Vedic Astrology: Avoid the Sidereal Zodiac Trap of Jyotish at All Costs

Avoid the astrology trap of using the Sidereal zodiac exclusively (or practitioners who do) or risk vast inaccuracies. You’ve always thought that you had a Sagittarius Sun sign, but then you’re confused when a friend shows you a “cooler” form of astrology, one which totally changes what you thought you knew about your basic natal chart.

Become Positive, Become Proactive

Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life, feeling as though small problems are bigger than they should be or that we lose control of ourselves and the outcomes we wish to achieve. Whether it’s based on a bad day or a bad year, the solutions are always easier than they seem and yet we fail to see them so clearly. We often think deeply about the problems we face, try to understand its source or seek others for help and support. But what if you were told that these solutions were the wrong approach to solving the struggles we encounter?

How Does Fear Hold You Back?

Fear can be a very debilitating emotion. We use it instinctively to keep us from perceived dangers but sometimes exaggerate the feeling and attribute it to situations in which fear should not be an issue. When fear becomes overwhelming it can negatively affect our emotional state, our physical condition, and our psychological well being. Thoughts spiral around themselves and alter our perception, rationality, and comprehension, limiting our expectations, reducing our productivity, augmenting the complexity of problems, and impeding our ability to survive.

Dating and Numerology, Numbers 1-9 Personified--How Each Behaves Romantically

The root numbers 1-9 each symbolize unique qualities and are expressed in various forms, including balanced, over-balanced, and under-balanced energy. The specific form of the number expressed depends on the symbolic support or mitigation of the other hundreds of considerations in the comprehensive personality and timing numerology charts. Let’s say a person has a 9 Life Path (a popular modern numerology indicator, which is the sum total of the full date of birth reduced to a single digit). The expression of that one single factor hinges on the collective energy of the others.

Do We Plan Our Lives Before We're Born?

May 7, 2003. I remember that day well, because it was the day on which my life changed, the day that launched me on the path to writing the book Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born (www.yoursoulsplan.com). I was 40 at the time, working as a self-employed marketing and communications consultant and feeling profoundly unfulfilled with my life. I often had the feeling that if I were to fall off the face of the Earth, none of my clients would notice. They would simply plug someone else into my role and continue along.

***Living a Passionate Life of Purpose

As I was driving down the road with my 16 year old son I noticed him more glum than usual. "What's up?" I ventured. "I just don't know what to do with my life," he replied. "I don't know what I could possibly do to make a living that I would be good at." " You'll spend most of your adult life at work," I advised, "so do something you love." "I don't know what that is. I don't know what I like to do that I could make a living at."

The Perfect Day Writing Exercise- Law of Attraction in Action

Several years ago I was torn. I was going through a period where I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but I knew it wasn’t the life that I had. I was unhappy in my work. My love life wasn’t what I wanted it to be (as I was single). And there were more experiences, and even toys that I wanted in my life. But I wasn’t sure exactly what to do about all that. I took a pad and paper and went to my favorite spot in Tallahassee, Lake Ella. I found a quiet place to sit and write, and I just started writing. I wrote down exactly what I wanted to have as a life.

Frivolous New Age Renderings of Metaphysics - A Trap to Avoid at All Costs

Avoid this trap at all costs: Denying the fact that innate challenges and harsh realities of life exist in various and unique forms for everyone, many of which are unalterable, and instead exclusively embracing frivolous renderings of astrology, number mysticism, palmistry or other ancient disciplines that include warped philosophies which promise you the moon. This course of action is ultimately detrimental to your best interest because it can lead to grave disappointment, and wasted time and money.

Achieve True Victory, Achieve Self-Trust

If we don't trust in our capacity to deal with life as it comes at us, we end up feeling in a state of perpetual fear and worry. We try to control life through perfectionism, making sure everything is just-so, and thus avoid any form of mistake. Unfortunately, life has its ways of throwing its twists and turns at us and when we do make a mistake we feel unprepared to handle it. We take on too much because we always compare ourselves with what everyone else is doing, we do what we think people want us to do, and we’re constantly worries about what others may think.

Developing Self-Devotion

Self-devotion is the feeling of ardent love that drives commitment and dedication to a purpose related to self-betterment. Though some people may associate this with egotism and self-centeredness when expressed in an extreme form, self-devotion in the right dose can be a useful tool of self-growth, self-development, personal success and achievement. So how does one become self-devoted? Begin by understanding who you are. Your self-image, self-esteem, body image, and sense of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being must be defined in its positive yet natural form.

Your Soul's Plan: The Deeper Spiritual Meaning of Suicide

When difficult or traumatic experiences occur in our lives, we naturally wonder, “Why did this happen? What does it mean?” Often, such experiences may appear not to have any particular meaning; they may seem to be nothing more than purposeless suffering. Yet, in my years as a spiritual author and teacher, I have found that not only are our greatest challenges rich with meaning and purpose, but also that very often we ourselves planned those experiences before we were born.

The Secret to a Successful Relationship

How Self Determination and Will Power will get you Further (part 2)

Rather than following our conscious Willpower, which is mostly made up of learned behaviours, memes, and an incomplete view of the world, we could learn to read what’s around us as messages from the subconscious, as messages that we give ourselves indirectly through the power of symbols. Our life is a real re-enactment of our internal state and whatever we experience around us is a play made of slides that we possess inside our subconscious projector or operative system.

Re-establishing Motivation in Your Goals

Goals are a crucial factor for achievement and success. They are the general guidelines we use to maintain focus in our work and persist enthusiastically in what we do. They are usually long-term ambitions with global visions and are composed of smaller objectives we aim for to reach the goals we set for ourselves. Objectives, then, are the strategies and specified steps we need to take to achieve what we desire. These can range from small intentions of what needs to be accomplished in the next hour to long-term projects. To regain a clear aim, try using a mind map.

***Expressing Your Divine Purpose by Valuing Yourself

One of the most pervasive feelings that stops people from stepping up to living their highest calling--their Divine Purpose--is the feeling that what they have to offer the world is not of value. We are our own worst critics, and as we look at what those who have come before us have accomplished, we wonder how we could do it or say it any differently. Thoughts like, “Who am I to be doing this?” or “Who would ever want to hear what I have to say (do business with me, utilize my services--you fill in the blank for yourself),” come up when we think of putting ourselves out in the world.

The Power of Good Choices

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." (William Jennings Bryan) From the time we wake up and decide whether or not to take those extra minutes of sleep, our waking day is constantly spent making choices. Every choice can lead to either a road of success or a path of mediocrity and it is our responsibility to be mindful of the choices we make. To think that we can drift along the sea of life is erroneous for even the decision not to decide is a choice that was made.

Definition: Quality of Life

The well-being or quality of life of a population is an important concern in economics and political science. It is measured by many social and economic factors. A large part is standard of living, the amount of money and access to goods and services that a person has; these numbers are fairly easily measured. Others like freedom, happiness, art, environmental health, and innovation are far harder to measure. This has created an inevitable imbalance as programs and policies a

Boost Your Energy

Both ancient wisdom and modern research has shown that life is driven by an energy that is similar to electrostatic fields, yet far more complex (in pulsation, but not in nature), and this is essentially observable in every natural process. Professor Harold Saxton Burr quoted in his book that “Electricity is the way nature behaves” and by discovering that all living things are shaped by electro-dynamic fields, which could be measured and mapped with standard voltmeters, he coined the term “fields of life,” or L-fields, as the basic blueprints of all life on this planet.

How best to resolve a conflict

The origin of most conflicts, whether between couples, colleagues or friends, stems from the conviction that each party feels he/she is “right.” One’s needs, values and interests thus differ from the other to the point that each party will try to persuade the other to agree with what one believes to be true. This then generates a heated debate in which each side is presented and the argument will continue to rise unless one of two things occurs: one person backs down and admits defeat (“You’re right, I’m wrong. Sorry.”); or a negotiation is sought for conciliation.

It's the Little Things...

Even the mightiest of oaks starts as the tiniest of aco s. Neither one is greater than the other; they're just merely different forms of the same thing. And yet, we often look around our lives and see things from only today's perspective. We look up at the oak, but down at the acorn. Sometimes we fail to realize that it's really the aco that makes all the difference. -We can control the little things- It's far easier to take that aco and do something with it, than it is to conquer the oak. If we look around our lives, we'll see many, many aco s.

Are Limiting Beliefs about Money Keeping You from Success and Financial Security?

If you have tried and failed to achieve the fulfillment and abundance you desire, chances are limiting beliefs are blocking your success. This is because our subconscious beliefs actually set the limits of what each of us can achieve. Most of us hold hidden beliefs that are opposite to the ones we consciously affirm. Beliefs that say it’s not safe to take risks, that we won’t succeed anyway, so why try? Beliefs that tell us that success is for other people, or having money is dangerous, or it’s just too hard to achieve.

The Long Lost Instruction Book To The Game of Life

When you’ve seen as many movies as I have, you begin to see that they all follow a certain pattern. This is true not just of movies, but of all great stories ranging from those found in classic mythology and literature to modern TV series and video games. Joseph Campbell called it the monomyth or hero’s journey. It’s basically a series of steps that the protagonist must go through during the course of his or her adventure. In addition to this, there are also a number of spiritual principles that often find their way into storytelling.

Soul & Ego: This Human Trip

What is this human earth-trip about, anyway? I found myself saying to a client today: We are souls on earth, here to unfold our potential from within. And we have no idea what that potential is. What are we to do? First we need to turn the spotlight of our attention inward, where that potential resides. We need to invite it to grow brighter and reveal its light and nature to us. We need to listen inwardly, so that we hear its impulse to act and express, hear and feel its messages to us, and sense its reality. It is subtle, it is quiet; it takes careful, attuned listening.

Passion

Passion is our compass. If we trust and follow it, success is guaranteed. Unfortunately what often happens is that we go into a place of fear because trusting our passion is something foreign, so it is uncertain. It is the unknown. How many times have you been told that you are good at something and you should be doing it? I personally was told that I was good with numbers and I should be an accountant. I went for it. It took me a long time to realize that was not my heart’s path. We always tend to do what give us security because we don’t enjoy uncertainty.

Deliver Us From Evil is a new film about an NYPD cop who battles demons. The film is based on events in the life of Sgt. Ralph Sarchie who retired as a decorated NYPD cop after 18 years of service. He now dedicates himself to demonology cases full time. Some people are giving this movie a bad review because they wanted more special effects or because it wasn’t as scary as The Exorcist and other, similar movies.

Our long-term findings show that innate compatibility isn’t something you make, but something two people naturally possess, or not.

Many people toss around the word karma, even those who don’t believe in reinca ation (though you can’t have one without the other). For example, if a cheater gets burned, they say it’s his karma. But our experience with past life regression and reinca ation research tells us karma is much more complicated than that.

Feng Shui Principles of Space for Chi with Yin and Yang

The idea of Yin and Yang is one of the main theories of Feng Shui. Chi is the energy that connects us with our environment, and it is everywhere. This energy is constantly in a state of flux or change. No change means stagnation. Chi can be in the form of matter or energy, or it can be a combination of both. Blocked Chi in your body creates imbalance that makes you feel less than optimal. An imbalance of Chi in your environment may cause a disturbance in your relationships with people, life or luck.

If you’ve used some of the tools I’ve been teaching, you have probably identified fears and beliefs about yourself, the world, life, and “the way things are” that are consciously or unconsciously keeping you from realizing your dreams. It’s only when you identify these limiting beliefs that you can work to dissolve them, which you must, if you don’t want them to continue to sabotage you. An effective way of working with beliefs involves challenging them cognitively.

Finding One’s True Work After Fifty

On Being a Late Bloomer I’m a late bloomer. It sometimes seems I’ve lived my life backwards. I like to say I took an early retirement (minimal employment and lots of leisure), and now that I’m of retirement age, I’m fired up and cracking to start working. I mean really working, working at my true work, the work I was meant to do. What took me so long? Well, for one thing, any original work that blends multiple gifts, life experience, and acquired wisdom, must take time to ripen. It’s not available to young sprouts or saplings, but only comes to fruit on a mature tree.

The Invisible Thread

“We’re all connected.” It’s the ubiquitous mantra of new-agey types. Chances are if you’ve ever watched Oprah, were a fan of the TV show Lost, or have read just about anything I’ve written, you are very familiar with this concept. Along with its close cousin “everything happens for a reason,” it’s pretty much become a cliché that isn’t really given much thought. Yet, how exactly are we all connected?

The Power of Thanks

Gracias… Danke… Merci… Thanks. It’s not HOW you say it, but THAT you say it, that changes everything. Gratitude has the power to bind and to build… and if you’ve ever had someone actually thank you, you’ve felt its power. “Thank you” isn’t just something that comes with “have a nice day” as you grab your paper-or-plasticed groceries. It’s a sincere sign that something nice has occurred. It’s not just an acknowledgement that you’ve been positively affected by something, but a chance to return positive emotions back to the giver.

Words as Barriers

Words are very powerful, not just for the conveyance of ideas, and communication, but as a way to manifest ideas into reality. They have an energy that can attract or repel people and events, causing you to gain, or lose, what you desire. The words you choose is a major part of the action phase. They can act as a call to action within yourself, or others… or, they can become your excuse and barrier to success. These words are small; they’re easy to say, and come trippingly off the tongue. We often don’t realize we’re even saying them. That’s part of their power.

I found a cottage on Chesapeake Bay and promised them a hot tub (which the home offered), the ocean and a trip to Baltimore and DC. I have to admi

Lift Yourself Into a Brand New World

Within each of us there is an expansive world of thoughts and feelings whose movements determine how we perceive and experience the world outside of us. While this inner-world of thoughts and feelings may not directly bring us what we see, it does profoundly influence how we see our world of relationships and events. The inner determines the outer. In other words, we are seeing the exterior but experiencing the interior. One simple example of how this works is when our heart

Expeditions in Faith: Your Purpose is Your Challenge

What's your great challenge in life? What is that theme that has run through most of your life? Some great challenges are: not enough, fear of failure, trust issues and speaking your truth. Just because we are experiencing a challenge doesn't mean: • that you are "doing" something wrong • that the Divine doesn't love you or listen to you • that you are unworthyr In fact, your challenge can allow you to have a deeper relationship with the Divine, be of service to others, and help you turn toward Universal truth (that you are part of the Divine).

How to Overcome Indecision and Doubt

I used to be caught in indecision about nearly everything in my life. I even had a poster in my dorm room in college that was a quote from Harvard professor Harvey Cox: "Not to decide is to decide.” I put it up as kind of a joke about how indecisive I was and my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) just rolled this eyes.
