  • Living With Imperfection

    As imperfect beings living in an imperfect universe we inevitably, at times, find life a frustrating experience. Here’s how to not only cope with life’s inescapable imperfection, but to recognize the genuine beauty of its experience.

    Imperfection is part of the great design and an inherent part of nature. Physicists believe the physical universe exists only due to the big bang‘s imperfection in producing unequal quantities of matter and anti-matter (known as baryon asymmetry). Put another way, if the universe had begun with perfect symmetry, we wouldn’t be here.

    The heights of human achievement and the incredibly rich diversity of life evolved only because living things reproduce imperfectly. They introduce random mutations along the way, some of which improve the status quo and allow things to get better.

    A great wonder of the human experience is our uniqueness. We are each born into different (enormously varied) circumstances, with different characters, aptitudes, and weaknesses. But unhappiness arises from two distinct kinds of imperfection – the inner and the outer. (more…)

  • Scientists and the Paranormal

    Plenty of people report paranormal experiences, but when those accounts come from prominent members of the scientific community might they be even more significant? Scientists are trained to be objective, and those that reach the top of their profession have had their objectivity endorsed by their peers.

    Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, founder of Jungian analysis and originator of the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator, had several paranormal experiences. (more…)

  • The ghost mobile

    Contributed by Alan Aitcheson

    A true story, hard to believe but it really did happen, real life can be far stranger at times than fiction.

    I was talking to a friend the other night recalling a couple of spooky events that took place several years ago. When my eldest daughter was in her final year at school I bought her a new mobile/cell phone, she used it for a year or more then decided to buy herself a new one. I had the old mobile phone back and used it myself for a further year before it become obsolete. I smashed it and threw it in the bin.

    Totally forgetting about it, until two policemen arrived at my door around two years after getting rid of the phone; they informed me that an emergency 999 call had been made and I was the named owner of the mobile phone. (more…)

  • Broken glass & spirits?

    Posted on behalf of Marcy

    I’m curious about whether there is any symbolic meaning to the occasional sound of broken glass (with no apparent origin or cause) in a home. It’s a very distinctive noise, and repeated searches of the house have yielded no source. It sounded as if a lamp had been shattered, or perhaps a drinking glass had been dropped. It’s a small house and I’ve gone through it thoroughly trying to find the cause. (more…)

  • Great Grandmother

    Posted on behalf of Bill, 27 May 2010

    I was staying at an aunts farm in their old farm house which was then only being used as a guest house. I was laying on my back after retiring for the night and suddenly had feeling of being watched. I looked toward the foot of the bed and saw the wispy image of what appeared to be a woman standing there looking at me. After a couple of seconds she turned around and floated through the doorway, (closed door).

    I told my aunt what happened. And after describing what I had seen, She explained the room I had stayed in was once her grandmother’s room. Needlessly to say I asked for a different room for the next night.

  • The Walking Stick – An Apport?

    A member of my local Spiritualist Church, who held a prominent position in a well-regarded voluntary organization, gave the following account at a meeting. His friend recently tripped on the sidewalk and this gentleman joked that she might need a walking stick. Shortly after he happened to find a brand new walking stick behind the kitchen door of his home. Neither he, nor anyone he knew used such a walking stick. And it isn’t the kind of thing one easily forgets! The bottom showed no signs of wear and the label indicated it came from a distant part of the country.

    Enquiries from friends and neighbors left the gentleman none the wiser where the object came from. An apport (manifestation from Spirit)? (more…)

  • Attitude is more than something

    By: LT Col R.K Langar

    What is Attitude

    Attitude is the way we think about ourselves, others and life in general. Attitude can also be defined as outlook and tendencies which a man comes to acquire as a result of his past actions. The way we think is exhibited through our speech and actions. As our life is shaped by our thoughts, positive thinking would make our attitude positive while negative thinking would make life miserable. Positive attitude evolves us and brings newness in life.

  • Edgar Cayce’s Story of the Soul of John The Baptist

    The soul of John the Baptist was apparently not reincarnated at the time of the readings of the legendary American mystic, Edgar Cayce. I will explain the ‘apparently’ reference as we proceed with our story, but first we shall look at the information in the Scriptures and the Edgar Cayce readings linking the soul of John the Baptist to the renowned prophet Elijah/Elias. Elijah’s story is recounted in I Kings, Chapters 17 to 21, and II Kings, Chapters 1 and 2. I am not going to retell his story here, except for his demise. Somewhat similar to Enoch in Genesis 5:24, and Jesus the Christ at the Ascension after the Resurrection, in Mark 16:19, Luke 24:50-51, and Acts 1:9-11, Elijah did not die but was taken up in a whirlwind into Heaven, as revealed in II Kings 2:1-11.

  • The “Other” Darkness

    from Chapter 5,  “She Knows Us”  Sophia The Feminine Face of God : Nine Heart Paths to Healing and Abundanceby Karen Speerstra

    A group of creative women met at my neighbor’s house one night to swim in the silky water of her spring-fed pond, celebrate our giftedness and eat great food.

    Sara, another writer, asked me what I was writing now and i struggled for a few seconds to come up with this book’s “elevator speech.”

    I’m writing about the feminine face of God. I suppose you could call it my spiritual memoir.” (more…)
