Symbols, whether sacred or secular, pervade human culture and are frequently found in the arts. They are keys that open the door to higher consciousness, codes that winnow the kernel from the chaff, seeds that contain hidden knowledge. A symbol is like a tree with branches extending in many ...

Affirmations form the basis of our perceptions. They are defined as the things we state to be true. But notice how there’s nothing in this definition which claims that an affirmation must, in reality, be true.

In the beginning … well, no one can say with any certainty what existed in the beginning, or, indeed, if there even was a beginning.

What is a Pendulum?
A Pendulum is a physical device for communicating with our subconscious, based on a simple 'YES' or 'NO' signal. The first time I was introduced to a pendulum was during 1981, at 45 years of age. Initially I was terrified, to say the least, as the pendulum circled ... Views:4735

“Our lives can change with every breath we take.” From the movie, Where the Heart Is.

One of the hardest things for us humans to grock is change. From the minute we are born we are subjected to it, surrounded by it and experience the results of it.

“Ascension” is a popular spiritual topic. In Christianity the term is used to describe the bodily rising of Jesus into heaven.
