A history of Psychic Research By : shaman In 1856, Nikola Tesla was born in the small village of Smiljan, Croatia. From his early childhood, it was apparent that he possessed a mind that was extraordinary. His father trained Nikola to strengthen his mind through a variety of regular mental exercises. Tesla was stricken with illness early in his life, time and time again. He suffered from a peculiar affliction which caused blinding flashes of light to appear before his eyes, often accompanied by hallucinations. These flashes turned into premonitions when he stated that he foresaw his parents death, and also when they miraculously saved him from drowning. Tesla was swimming under a large floating structure that extended further than he realized. He found himself trapped underwater with no sign of the surface, a flash appeared, and with it a vision of a small opening to air. This vision saved his life. Despite his numerous accomplishments that he attributed to his special abilities, skeptics discounted him as someone with a propensity for coincidence. Parapsychology is the study of any phenomena that cannot be explained by natural law.

Using Reason Is The Way To Have Complete Faith By : Enoch Tan Faith comes by hearing which means perception, and perception by the Word of God. The Word is Logos which means Reason.

Loving Money Attracts More Of It Into Your Life By : Enoch Tan To be in vibrational resonance with money, you have to love it. If you fear money or do not love it, you will repel it away from you.

Believe that He Is By : Jon Straumfjord Everyone wants to receive from God, but many people don't even meet God's very first requirement: “believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6). But why should we believe that any God exists at all? “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalms 19:1) The Bible contains some very ancient information about the beginning of the universe which we are only now beginning to understand. Who Do You Trust? By : Jon Straumfjord How can we tell whether or not a particular deity is worthy to be called “God.” A good initial test is to evaluate a particular religion's story of creation. The Bible's creation story can be demonstrated as credible, while many others obviously are not. Being Inspired About What To Do In Every Moment By : Enoch Tan In every moment you are in, always allow yourself to be naturally driven in your actions. When you choose to be in-spired or in-spirit, you will always be guided as to when to do what.

What's really important? What really matters?

He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him By : Jon Straumfjord The God of the Bible promises real, tangible blessings in this lifetime, while the vast majority of religions offer a life of rigid obedience, with the hope of reward in the next life.

By : Robin Calamaio Is a human embryo just a blob of protoplasm as Humanists maintain? Naturalists (evolutionists) and Biblical Theists both think otherwise. In fact, these two, who are normally at odds, share common ground on this matter.

By : Nina Amir A discussion of the terminology used on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur concerning sin.

Write Your Own Fate into the Book of Life During the Days of Awe -- and Every Day By : Nina Amir On the High Holy Days, the fate of Jews all over the world is supposedly written and then sealed in the proverbial Book of Life. Yet, the decree can be changed, leaving one wondering if we cocreate our destiny with God or not. And if we do, can we write the pages in our own Book of LIfe? Saved by Faith By : Jon Straumfjord The Lord has presented everyone with a long list of promised blessings, however, no one is able by his/her own effort to obtain those blessings. In our own effort, we can only obtain the numerous curses that the Lord has pronounced on all who are imperfect; but God has made a way for all who believe in Jesus Christ. Your Life Is Perfect When You Are In Alignment By : Enoch Tan People think that their life will only be perfect when they have achieved everything they want, when everything is completely going the way they want it to go.

Perfect Intention is from Spirit instead of Ego By : Enoch Tan There are times when we manifest what we intended but we aren’t happy or fulfilled although we got what we wanted. That is because we have intended based on what we think we should want or other people’s idea of what we should want instead of what we truly desire. When we try to form definite intentions for the sake of manifesting things when we are not inspired to, we are intending from ego instead of spirit... The unity of the 7 Spirits of God By : Jon Straumfjord There are 7 Spirits of God who only act in complete unity with each other and with the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Whereas people and governments continually work to ensure that only a definite majority can have their way, God will only act if all 7 Spirits and the Trinity are in complete and total agreement. There is no division, “no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17, NKJV) with the Lord God. Who are the 7 Spirits of God? By : Jon Straumfjord Each of the 7 Spirits of God has Her own name and personal identity. Each of the 7 Spirits is infinite in Her scope and influence on the character of God, Whose very nature represents the sum total of the nature of the 7 Spirits combined without ever compromising any of the 7 Spirits at any time. How Does the Lord Act in Relation to the 7 Spirits? By : Jon Straumfjord How do the 7 Spirits influence the actions of the Lord God? A good way to answer this question is to examine a situation that seemingly puts members of the 7 Spirits of God at odds with each other. However, even in these situations there is nothing other than unanimous agreement. The Love of God, the Holiness of God, and all the 7 Spirits of God always operate in complete unity.

Verdicchio It was never the intention of the Creator for the human race to be a rat race. It was never His intention for people to live with fear and anxiety, or to have no peace.
