When the end is in sight, many things go through your mind. Experiences, friends, successes, and failures fill the consciousness. Yet, the heart smiles at all of this; for you see, it knows the Goal and has been through this journey before.
The Great Wheel of Life keeps turning so we can experience ourselves and the Infinite in many different ways. Like a video game, with level upon level, until we save the Princess- who is our selves. What people forget is that this journey or game can be accomplished in a second, 1000 years, or over and over again. Or we can play a totally different game and have an alternate experience, altogether. Continue reading Life & Video Games »

In Chinese tradition, every year is dedicated to a particular animal. The 12 animals that are a part of this tradition are the Dragon, the Horse, the Monkey, the Rat, the Boar, the Rabbit, the Dog, the Rooster, the Ox, the Tiger, the Snake and the Ram. Each of these animals is believed to bestow its characteristics to individuals who are born in its year.
According to the Chinese astrology 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. And true to the animal’s nature, the Year of the Dragon is expected to be marked with excitement, exhilaration, intensity and unpredictability. The drama and spirit of the dragon is expected to inject vitality, energy and unbridled enthusiasm which could easily lead individuals to throwing caution to the wind. It is especially important to take care this year, and avoid unnecessary risks that could lead to tragedy. Continue reading Chinese Year of the Dragon – 2012 »

As we head into yet another year full of great promise, the reality is that most of to go back to living by default only weeks into the New Year. It can be overwhelming, and it may seem impossible, to step boldly forward into manifesting your goals/dreams into real experiences. These dreams are possible! If we get clear with ourselves and access the right goal/dream and then deepen our commitment, it then becomes possible. I love the quote from, Napoleon Hill that states “that what ever the mind can conceive, and believe, the mind can achieve.” Continue reading Soul and Energy Strategies That Can Help You Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions »

If you have not read the first part of the Story of the Essenes – The Beginning, then I respectfully recommend that you do so before you continue to read this article. It is not crucial that you do so, but it will be of some help in understanding how we reached our starting point for this article. If you cannot locate the first article on the website where you currently are, then you can read it on my website at http://dousimp.mnsi.net.
After centuries of faithful planning and progress, a small group of especially devoted and Divinely gifted members of the Essenes became aware, through dreams, visions and voices, that the birth of the long-awaited Savior was like a faint light at the end of a long tunnel, but a light none-the-less. But first, the birth, not selection but birth, of a Heavenly gifted teacher for the Messiah, needed to occur two or three decades before the birth of this prophesied Savior. Here is Edgar Cayce’s story of that Heavenly anointed teacher, the next leader of the Essenes, and the most important person in the life of Jesus who was not named in the Bible.

Our Current Compromising-Consciousness President, And The Need For Both To Lean On Somebody Or Fall
by Gabriel of Urantia
The Republican nominees can also be called “the parade of new souls.” There is a lot to learn about the difference between a new soul and an older soul or starseed, which has taken me writing two published books (called The Cosmic Family, Volumes I and II) so far to even begin to teach. But for the clarity of this article, I will just state a few pertinent facts on both soul types. The majority of the billions of people on this planet are new souls, but there are approximately 500 million starseed over the age of 18 who are older souls.

The purpose of an economy should be the wellbeing of all. We’re all interdependent, humans and other life on the planet. People everywhere share the same need for love, happiness, security, good work, freedom, community and involvement in decisions affecting them. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Today, this is far from being the case. Continue reading The Economics of Wellbeing »

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Remember that saccharine line from the famous 1970 movie “Love Story?” It sounded icky to us then, and it sounds icky to us now, but since, like us, many of you also came of age under the spell of that cloying mantra, we’d like to set the record straight once and for all: it’s a big fat lie that has nothing whatsoever to do with love.
“Sorry” can be a mighty tool in saving your marriage, but in order to take full advantage of its power, we must be trained in its proper use. Continue reading The Power of Sorry »
In an interview, Michael Ferner, interim director of Veterans for Peace, discusses the growing calls for non-violent means of resolving issues.
Veterans for Peace, a US-based non-governmental organization founded in 1985, seeks to eradicate war as a national policy. The group comprises veterans from many eras and conflicts, including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to their website, “Our collective experience tells us wars are easy to start and hard to stop and that those hurt are often the innocent. Thus, other means of problem solving are necessary.” Michael Ferner is the group’s Interim Director. Jason Francis interviewed him for Share International.
Share International: What was behind the formation of Veterans for Peace?
Michael Ferner: The group Vietnam Veterans Against the War was created in 1967. A number of military veterans, most of them from the Vietnam War, got together in the mid-1980s and decided they wanted to form an organization that would provide a platform for veterans in an ongoing way, not just following a particular conflict. What brought people together at that time was a sense of urgency regarding US policies in Central America – using death squads in El Salvador and Guatemala, and later, funding the Contras in Nicaragua.

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? Edgar Allan Poe.
We each carry inside us a model of what we consider to be reality or truth. However, our concept of reality is inevitably incomplete, for reality in its entirety is too great and too complex to be understood by our finite minds. This incapacity to fully grasp reality is echoed in the scientific principle of quantum indeterminacy.
Everybody’s concept of reality is unique. Each version represents a different subset of the single, whole, truth; but also incorporates different illusions into its representation of what is real. Continue reading Illusion and Reality »

Q: In our tradition, we are taught those who do not believe the same as us are incorrect, and unless they change shall be punished by God. Also, as responsible believers, we have a duty to try and correct their view?
A: Does the Father love only some of his children? Are not all children of God?
Before there was organized religion, how did travelers worship? Were these millions all in error and abandoned by their Father?
To every place and time is a path or religion. Look to a traveler’s heart and their action; a good, loving person, who makes the world a better place, is a servant of God and has a religion to follow. Let God evaluate the measure of their lives; God’s mercy is without end. Continue reading Which is the Correct Religion? »
