Learning Tool Parable for Education: Humility

Although I’ve been through the CD3 session of the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course, I’ve chosen to delay my review of it because of several inclemencies I’ve experienced during and after the sessions.

The whole idea of remote viewing is strange enough to most people. It’s just too “out there” and of course it’s a joke now because of “Men Who Stare at Goats.” The thing is there are very strange customs and practices in this world that don’t make sense until we apply them in the real world. When we do that, we’re able to look at the big picture of how things fit together.

Do you remember “Karate Kid?” “Wax on, Wax off” didn’t make much sense, right? Not until Mr. Miyagi demonstrated how “Wax on, Wax off” is applied in a real world situation of self defense. In fact, there are a number of practices in old world martial arts that are considered very strange, if not mundane, to the “civilized” Western Mind, yet have practical uses in real world situations.

The same concept applies to psychic senses like remote viewing. Like an old world martial arts dojo, each school of remote viewing has it’s own methods of teaching. These methods are very strange, much like the method on CD3 of the ARVARI Remote Viewing Course, but like I said, I’m not going to review CD3 yet. And as you know, when I say it’s “very strange,” then you know it’s got to be out there.

Instead, I want to share an important lesson with you; it’s one of many lessons in martial morality. In martial arts, remote viewing, or any esoteric activity that takes intense discipline there will always be people with the attitude, “I’ve already learned this. I already know that. What more can you teach me?” For the moment, I want to discuss humility.

Honest, Selfless, Loving, Caring = Meaning of Life?

It’s been said that the best things in life are free - although in our hyper-consumptive culture, you’d be hard-pressed to find many people who would agree with you.

 

Our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle recently found a beautiful feature film entitled Amal. It’s a modern-day parable that tells the story of a man named Amal - a simple, humble auto-rickshaw driver in the colorful, bustling city of New Delhi, India. Content with the small but vital role he plays in life, to drive his customers throughout the city as safely as possible, Amal is a man who lives simply to do “the right thing” in every situation.

 

One day Amal drives an eccentric billionaire who, disguised as a vagabond, is searching the streets for the last morsel of humanity; someone he can leave all his money to. His children are ungrateful spoiled brats and his colleagues are corrupt, money-sucking leeches.

 

Despite all his wealth, the old man wanders the city hoping to find the two things his money has never brought him - hope for humanity and peace for his soul. In Amal, he discovers a dying breed: a man who is honest, selfless, loving, and caring.

 

This riveting and surprising tale ultimately reveals that the poorest of men are sometimes the richest.

How Corporate Etiquette Affects Consumers: Kaizen

Wednesday of this week, I had the dubious distinction of witnessing a deposition panel on a federal lawsuit. This lawsuit involves one of the biggest companies in the world versus another company that threatened it’s market share.

I’m not allowed to say who these companies are because I signed a confidentiality agreement. But I will describe the situation in terms of a metaphor in the form of an anecdote:

A boy and girl in high school were once dating each other. They were celebrated as the most famous couple in high school because the girl was the beautiful prom queen and the boy was the smartest and talented kid in school.

A problem started when the boy got tired of the girl; he didn’t approve of the way the relationship was going. She was closed minded, yet so demanding of him. He craved more freedom…

Love Outside Your Comfort Zone vs. the Comfort of Death?

Imagine the following: You are a single, thirty-something professional…and you discover you have a very serious, life-threatening case of leukemia even though you are symptom-free. The next day you meet the love of your life at a nightclub and begin a relationship, knowing you haven’t long to live.

 

 

At what point, do you think, are you obligated to share what’s going on with your health?

 

 

We posed this question to a few of our favorite spiritual luminaries:

 

 

“I don’t have any judgment on someone doing otherwise, but I would personally feel an ethical responsibility to disclose that information sooner rather than later.”
- Marianne Williamson

 

 

“Immediately. A good relationship and a real, loving relationship is based in truth and integrity.”
- Deepak Chopra

 

 

“Decadent doctors focused on death functions rather than the spirit of their patients are the real threat. Love is the real cure.”

- HealingMindN

 

 

This scenario describes the plot of Counting Backwards, Spiritual Cinema Circle’s feature film for Volume 1. In this film, career-driven Joe is diagnosed with terminal leukemia on the eve of his big promotion. He reevaluates everything. Now that his days are numbered, the questions that used to be so easy to avoid are impossible to ignore.

 

 

Joe commits to living the life he always wanted and begins a quirky relationship with Claire, the fun-loving girl of his dreams. This romance sets the stage for an imaginative, inspiring take on what life could be about if Joe were willing to fight for it.

 

 

Thanks to our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle, you can receive Counting Backwards plus a very special in-depth interview with WAYNE DYER along with 3great short films for free* (you just pay small shipping fee). Start your free trial today!

Do You Believe in Ghosts and Spirits?

The purpose of OceanScape GhostShip: Altered States is to increase your psychic awareness of spiritual entities. A question I’ve been getting is “why would I want to increase my awareness of ghosts and spirits? Wouldn’t that make me crazy? Sensing ghosts and spirits like some kind of weird psychic medium?”

Let me ask you: What is a ghost? What is a spirit?

If you’ve been trained by Hollywood films and “Ghost Hunters” who jump at their own shadow, then “ghost” implies a spirit of the dead.

Since you are here, you want to know my reality: So called “spirits of the dead” would not exist without the spirits of the living to support their existence. When we talk about the “Spirit of Christmas” or that people are “in good spirits,” we’re talking about living spirits. When we say someone is “spiritually oriented,” we’re talking about someone who is living who celebrates living beings as spiritual beings.

If you’re a “spiritual medium,” you probably feel I’m making mockery of your reality. And you’re right. You’re here now, in my reality. If you don’t want me to break down your reality, then you better leave - or else, keep reading, so you can expand your reality and really grasp what you’ve been “sensing” all this time.

First, I want to give you a sample of how people are being “educated” in ghosts and spirits. The following is the 2nd part of a five parter from the series, “Most Haunted.” This particular episode is on the most haunted castle in Europe. Let’s Watch:





The “Bloody Chapel” Leap Castle was a stronghold of the O’Carroll family, powerful Irish Princes. A source of evil was found at Leap Castle that compounded and nurtured the spirit of the elemental who is believed to be the returning Carroll from Richard Coeur de Lion’S third Crusade to the holy land in 1190. A hidden ubliet (a dungeon) was found off the bloody chapel. It was a small room with a drop floor. Those who were forgotten within this room suffered unimaginable pain and misery until their death. Prisoners would be pushed into the room to fall through the floor and land on a spike eight feet below. Isabella Marshal heiress of the Lord Marshal of Leinster Eire Estates was born 9th October 1200. Folklore mystery surrounds Donoch O’Carroll of Ely and Isabella Marshal who’s grandmother was descended from the Prince’s of Ireland Carrolls of Ely.The Temple Church London Tomb of Lord Marshal of Leinster his son Richard lost his life in Ireland. Gerald Carroll, the most recent family member to chair of the Carroll Foundation, is not prepared to comment…

Love, Passion & Giving at Spiritual Cinema Circle

What will it take to change the world? First, we must begin by changing ourselves. For many of us, becoming a loving, passionate, giving human being is high on our list of what we value.

What if you could spend a few hours watching movies that would not only help you make sense of things but also make you feel better about being a human being?

Where you touched by films such as Gandhi, Rain Man, Pay It Forward, Philadelphia, Schindler’s List, Conversations with God or Forrest Gump?

These films taught us about compassion, non-judgment and tolerance, qualities most of us would agree are necessary to healing ourselves, and the planet. Well, I’m excited to tell you that our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle have put together a collection of films that do exactly that.

 

In a rare interview, LOUISE HAY, reminds us that a successful life “boils down to choosing the thoughts you think and choosing the thoughts you want, and when you can be wise in both areas, you have perfect health because the body knows how to take care of itself.”

In the out-of-this-world transformational comedy, THE GIFT, we meet two beings from a distant world, who have journeyed back to earth with a mission: to help human beings learn how to reach maximum potential.

With religious conflict simmering around the world and misconceptions about faith fueling ignorance and intolerance, the feature film OCEAN OF PEARLS reminds us that regardless of the color of our skin or the god we worship, it’s essential that we retain our values, even when living in a culture that doesn’t necessarily embrace them.

You can receive all of these films for FREE by signing up for a free trial (you pay a small shipping fee) with Spiritual Cinema Circle, the only DVD service dedicated to movies about love and compassion.

2012: Doomsday or Dawning of a New Age?

Dear HealingMindNs,

The ending of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012 has sparked a worldwide discussion — bestselling books, New York Times and USA Today articles, Hollywood films and more. Will life as we know it end — metaphorically, literally or at all? Could 2012 actually represent an evolutionary leap in consciousness?

2012: Science or Superstition is an entertaining and informative documentary that will enable you to discover the many, and at times conflicting, perspectives on this enigmatic topic. Have a look at this video preview:






Actually, the new age video producers are not the only onces studying this.Here’s an extract from 2012 may bring the “perfect storm” – solar flares, systems collapse
http://tinyurl.com/CME2012:

“Mainstream scientific concern about 2012 has grown since a recent National Research Council report funded by NASA and issued by the National Academy of Sciences, entitled “Severe Space Weather Events: Understanding Economic and Societal Impact” which details the potential devastation of 2012 solar storms on the current planetary energy grid and because of the inter-linkages of a cybernetic society, on our entire human civilization.

According to New Scientist, science’s concern is a repetition of the 8-day 1859 “Carrington event,” a large solar flare accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that flung billions of tons of solar plasma onto the earth’s magnetosphere and disrupted Victorian-era magnetometers and the world telegraph system.

The New Scientist states, “The report outlines the worst case scenario for the US. The ‘perfect storm’ is most likely on a spring or autumn night in a year of heightened solar activity - something like 2012. Around the equinoxes, the orientation of the Earth’s field to the sun makes us particularly vulnerable to a plasma strike…”

12/21/12 may be the projected aftershock of a complete economic and societal breakdown - as we know it. Assuming that there’s nothing artificial about this projected CME, I believe it’s more like what happened to Rahab, wherein God destroyed the evil in one fell swoop.

Remember as I’ve said in previous articles that there is purpose to everything in the universe; nothing truly happens by accident. We attract people, places, and things into our lives according to our mind patterns. The decadent society and economic conditions we have now are because of the overall social mood guided by our mind patterns.

We can either allow distortion of our mind patterns and survive through fear (which means anarchy, theft, war and worse) or allow our mind patterns to be in line with God’s, so we can survive through love.

Ephemeral Decadent society is based in fear: Face the Facts. Mainstream news is based in generating fear. Mainstream entertainment is full of emotions based in fear. Mainstream commercials only give the illusion of love as long as you use their product. The economy is based in fear when we allow “experts” to scare us into thinking that society would fall apart without the Federal Reserve.

This is the society that will fall.

Immortal Human society is based in love: This type of society is based in generating love, therefore, the infrastructure works WITH nature rather than against it.

This means we would be using an energy infrastructure that can survive any kind of coronal mass ejections (which means a de-centralized power grid that uses advanced forms of green energy technology).

We would use energy oriented healing devices for chronic ailments instead of expensive drugs from big pharma.

We would allow God’s Word to guide our economy rather than the greed of men.

All of our inter-relations and business dealings would be based in advancing humanity as opposed to self aggrandizing and greed.

The society based in love is the one that will rise and survive.

IMHO, if there’s any kind of superstition, it’s assuming that all of humanity will be reborn and transcend into some “higher vibration” on 21 December 2012; this is the date when the wheat gets separated from the chafe. This is the date of Ezekial 43 (extract):

[6] And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

[7] And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

[8] In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger…

[27] And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

If your mind pattern is not based in love when 2012 hits, then you’re finished. For some of us, it will be a dawning of a new age. For most, it’s doomsday. For those of you reading this, maybe it’s only a DVD.

Now, for a limited time only you can receive 2012: Science or Superstition plus 3 highly entertaining short films FREE* when you sign up for a trial membership with our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle. You’ll get all 4 of these exclusive, independent films FREE.* There’s no risk - cancel your membership at any time.
