A Happening Nightlife Beckons You

2008-06-15T05:57:00.002Z

Nightlife - the word sends energy waves in many people's bodies, while others feel more content to sleep away the darkness! Night owls have limited options in most places, but there are some countries and cities, which are truly the hubs of a dazzling nightlife. One such place is France - and mostly because of its renowned capital city - Paris.

Visit Paris, and you will want to be back for more. Its a city right out of renaissance and into the 21st century. Louvre, Arc de triumph and Eiffel tower jostle for space with pubs, dsicotheques and all night restaurants. Not only is Paris the city of light, but of sound, music, dance, and revelry. Progressive Paris also promises a wealth of nighttime opportunities for gay men and women, mostly in the Marais neighborhood.

If you don't like the French, you might prefer the English! The UK is known for its laidback lifestyle, along with its famous pubs and nightclubs. London - the capital city, is world famous for its party vibe and non-stop nightlife. It is seething with after-hours drinking and dancing dens of all shapes and sizes. From the pulsating dancefloors of major nightclubs to the chilled intimacy of smaller DJ bars, London has something to offer both hardcore party animals and those looking for a quiet drink and conversation. If you plan to visit London, you should be looking to book hotels near London attractions for ease of travel.

However, London is not just the only city in UK to boast of a great nightlife. Manchester is also a fast developing night life hub. From the theme clubs of Peter Street to the underground club nights in the Northern Quarter, Manchester's nightlife has matured since the 'Madchester' era, when the Hacienda and the Boardwalk us on the clubbing map. The club scene made famous by the Haçienda continues to draw crowds. And there’s a stack of smaller, edgier live music venues offering you a chance to catch the next Smiths or Stone Rose. Its a city that loves to party with a huge student population chomping at the bit - you are guaranteed cracking nightlife. Make sure you book hotels in Manchester CBD for the best experience.

Spirituality Information - Creating Your Life After Your Death

2008-02-27T22:05:00.000Z

Yes, you continue to create your "life" even after your physical death. Your continued attention on spirituality information that describes your eternal nature naturally leads you to this conclusion. Your spiritual growth benefits you while you are walking this earth by expanding your awareness beyond your earthly existence.

So how does this help us determine what happens after our physical death? Well, it opens our eyes up to this idea that we are influenced in our lives by what we believe.

Our beliefs determine the way we view life and ultimately affect the choices that we make either consciously or unconsciously. If we believe that our life is over when we die, then we consciously or unconsciously have a fear of the unknown that comes after this event.

If we believe that we are eternal and that we are all engaged in a never-ending process of conceiving, creating and experiencing all of the different aspects and perspectives of this beautiful concept called love, then we will view the ceasing of our human bodily functions not with a fear of the unknown but with a love of the known.

Our paradigm shifts from one of fear to one of love. Our paradigm shifts from believing that we don't know anything and we are just discovering everything in life, to one of believing that all things are known to us and we are in the continuous process of creating in our reality all that we know but haven't experienced yet.

We quit leading lives of quiet desperation and begin to live lives of active manifestation. Instead of settling for the mundane, we strive to reach new heights that open to vistas of incredible beauty, lightness and knowingness.

If you believe that you are a creating machine in the eternal process of creating your existence from moment-to-moment and relishing in the joy of each moment of now, then you would realize that that beingness does not stop when you choose the experience of your physical death.

When your bodily functions cease you may stop creating in this physical plane we call earth, but you will not stop creating. The mind-body-spirit being that you are will merely go on to its next creation in another form in the realm of the absolute from which it came.

In the realm of the absolute, all things will be revealed to you once again because you are no longer bound by the voluntary amnesia that you agreed to upon entering the physical universe. This concept we know as time will cease to exist because in the realm of the absolute there is no time except the eternal moment of now.

So this re-membering of your self as you become a member once again of the all that is, is a continuation of your eternal evolvement. As you move from the physical to the metaphysical you see that your creations happen instantly. You are no longer bound by the limitations of time and the physical slowness of the relative universe, so whatever thought occurs to you that you choose to pursue and manifest happens in an instant.

Many people believe that they have been good enough and followed the rules well enough in life that they will go to heaven when they die. Upon their physical death they may be holding the thought that they are going to heaven. Once they cross over from physical existence to metaphysical existence, they can choose the experience of heaven and that experience will instantly manifest in their reality.

Many people believe that they have not led a good enough life here on earth to deserve the rewards of heaven, so their thoughts and their fear of going to hell is utmost in their minds when they enter the threshold of death. Whatever they have visualized as this place called hell is created by them as they move from the physical to the metaphysical upon their earthly death.

Both realities can be created and each choice is as valid as the other. But once again, we are in the realm of the absolute now, so if you chose the experience of hell upon your death and you didn't like that experience, then, if you feel that it doesn't serve you, just like on earth, you can choose again from the infinite variety of choices available to you and, unlike the time delay for manifestation as it is on earth, your new creation will happen instantly. If you don't like the experience of hell, if it doesn't seem to serve you, then choose to create heaven and see if that serves you.

You see instantly, after your earthly death, what takes time and insight to see while you are residing in the realm of the physical. You see that every thought is creative, and you can create in your reality any thought that you choose to pursue. This takes the concept of "instant gratification" to the utmost.

A Cool New Travel Blog

2007-08-27T09:54:00.000Z

While surfing on the net for some travel information, I came across this relatively new but seemingly great travel blog. Titled RatesToGo, it is well designed with well detailed information on various travel destinations around the world. The main categories on this blog are Asia, Europe, North America and the world. On closer look I realised that this blog is part of an older webite that was launched in 2002 - ratestogo.com! It is owned and operated by Flairview travel.

While surfing through the blog, I found some of the entries completely enchanting. It would be a crime not to mention a couple of them. There is an entry on the Three Most Futuristic Cities - in which the author talks about why and how Dubai, Hong Kong and Tokyo are the three most futuristic cities of the world.

Another very likeable post was the one titled Top Five Ice Cold Hotels! As the name suggests, it talks about hotels in the forzen environment. But its just not that. The article profiles hotels that have been fuly or partially built from ice! Located in places like Canada and Sweden, some of them are built on the concept of the Igloo!

Coming back to the main blog, the catchline on the blog is last minute hotel deals, which is quite nice for those who plan thier holidays at the last moment. The main website on ratestogo.com covers over 12,000 last-minute reservations on hotels. Users can book hotels three weeks in advance and help refer them to extra services including car hire, flights, travel insurance, sightseeing attractions, transfers, and worldwide calling cards.

A New Web Directory

2007-08-21T18:10:00.000Z

Sarthak K recently launched a free website directory which he has titled the Internet Market Web Directory. This links index has a very pleasing and attractive design themed in bold red color. You just need to sign up once on the directory at www.internet-market.info (no activation emails to click) and you can submit unlimited links for acceptance in the directory. The links are normally approved within 48 hours (subject to quality of site).

One mistake that webmasters commonly make while submitting thier links to this directory is that they include the http:// in the url of the site when they are submitting a link - even though the http:// of the url is already published there. See screenshot for reference:

So for example if your URL is http://www.slgp.org, you should only submit www.slgp.org as http:// is already prevalent from the directory. In case you submit the whole url with the http://, then your actual submission will look like this - http://http://www.slgp.org!

The Internet Market web directory also has publishes a blog on internet marketing in its subdomain. The blog - titled Internet Marketing Voodoo, deals with SEO, PPC, affiliate marketing etc.

Tourist Heaven in the Heart of Europe

2007-08-21T17:28:00.000Z

Berlin, besides being the capital city, is the heart of modern Germany; with a stoic beat that echoes through grand public buildings, glorious museums and theaters, urbane restaurants, bustling pubs and raucous nightclubs. It's a city that thrives on change and that has made a virtue out of reinventing itself. Berlin has one of the most diverse and vibrant nightlife scenes in Europe. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 many buildings in Mitte, the former city center of East Berlin were renovated. Hotels in Berlin can be found cheap if you know the right places to look.

Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria, and the Historic City Centre was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It will be one of the eight host cities in the 2008 European Football Championships. The traditional Vienna is but one of the many façades of this city. Vienna is also a dynamic, young city, famous for its (electronic) music scene with independent labels, cult-status underground record stores, and a vibrant club scene. Hotels in Vienna can also be found cheap if you know where to look.

By now you must be aware that this blog post is a tale of two cities - Berlin and Vienna, that combined together make a tourist heaven in the heart of Europe. If possible, you should adjust your European holiday calendar such that you get to travel both the cities. In Germany, Lufthansa has direct flights to Vienna from Berlin (Tegel) and v.v. As the carrier frequently offers special web only deals (as well as a 'happy hour' page where visitors can bid for flights) you are advised to check online for Lufthansa's latest prices. There are now also a number of low-cost flights from Austria to Germany, with Air Berlin operating services to Vienna from Dortmund, Hamburg and Duesseldorf and Germanwings also flying to the Austrian capital from Cologne-Bonn (CGN). In addition, Sky Europe offers a good value service from Stuttgart to Vienna (via Bratislava). Basically, you fly direct to Bratislava and then, from there, ride a SkyShuttle bus to Vienna for an extra €10 (the journey is just 50km).

Accommodation is widely available at most time in both the cities except during peak tourists easons when the hotels raise their prices. Hotels in Berlin and hotels in Vienna can burn a hole in your pocket (as mentioned earlier,) if you dont do your homework. Others it is assured that you will have the time of your life!

The Whistler Effect - Tourist Guide

2007-08-14T02:42:00.000Z

Traveling to exotic locales and having customised holidays can be great fun. You can rent out stuff like property, car, sports equipment etc to make your holiday more enjoyable and worthwhile. This is where Holiday Whistler steps in.

Holiday Whistler is a vacation rental company based in Whistler, BC. They offer a wide variety of properties for rent all year round. Many are ski-in, ski-out and have wood-burning fireplaces and private hot tubs. It is a is a holiday company with a difference.

Whistler accommodation is one of the best in its class. If you are a large party, they do not mind providing two or more properties that are very close together. The accommodation fits all kind of budgets - from 1 room flats to 10 room properties that include private hot tub; sauna; billiards room and more. There can be no doubt that whistler lodging is the most superior in and widely acknowledged around the world for customized holidays.

While checking out Holiday whistler website, I came across a property that I really liked - the Cedar Ridge 17. This is a prime ski-in, ski-out townhome in the sought-after Cedar Ridge complex just above the Village on the lower slopes of Blackcomb Mountain. Second from the end, it offers a 30-second or less walk from your front door to the slopes. See snapshot below:

Entrance is either through the private garage or up some steps to the first level. Here a spacious hallway has a powder room and storage area and leads into the living, dining and entertainment area with cedar-lined vaulted ceiling, sunken living room with wood-burning fireplace and spacious dining area. The kitchen is at the front and is fully-equipped. At the rear, looking down over the valley is a large deck with sunken private hot tub.

Unleashing Your Creativity

2007-08-14T02:41:00.000Z

People seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. That is not true at all. The fact is, creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don't practice harnessing creative thinking, this skill will very much atrophy into inexistence. But keep working and this skill will soon come to you in a snap.

So how do you unleash your creative thinking? Well, the first thing is to become a human leech. No, we're not talking about just sucking the blood out of every living being available, we're saying that you should take in as much knowledge and learning you can find. Read everything available -- good and bad, and keep your mind open to the infinite possibilities of the universe. The more you know, the more you'll want to know, and the more your faculty of wonder will be exercised. Prepare to be amazed at little facts that add a bit of color into your life.

Focus on a creative activity everyday. Yes, it's an effort. Even doodling is a creative activity. Don't let anything hinder you. Mindlessness may be a creative activity, but for people who are just starting out to unleash a little bit of creative thinking in their lives, it is helpful and encouraging to have concrete evidence, that, "hey, what I'm doing is getting somewhere." So why don't you try it. Practice drawing for a couple of minutes each day. Bring out your old camera and start snapping photos like crazy. Keep a journal and make a point to write in it religiously. Another cool idea is to write by describing something with your five senses. Try to avoid vague adjectives like "marvelous," "amazing," and "delicious." Before you know it, you'll have built yourself a tiny portfolio, and you'll be amazed at the growth you've undertaken after amassing all those works of art. Who knows, you might actually take to liking those things you do everyday. Pretty soon those things will become a part of you and you'll be addicted to these creative exercises.

Think out of the box -- or don't. Sometimes, constraints are actually a good thing. Limitations discipline you to work within your means. It enables you to be more resourceful. Creative freedom is great, but limitations enforce discipline.

Try something new everyday and let your experiences broaden your perspective. Explore a new district in your neighborhood. Spend an afternoon in a museum to which you've never been before. Chat up someone on the bus. Open up to the people around you. As you thrust yourself out of your comfort zone more and more each day, your sense of adventure grows and so does your zest for life. Think about it. When was the last time you did something for the first time? If it's been a while, I tell you, you've been missing out on a whole lot of experiences that could've added to your growth, emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. Why don't you try bungee jumping today? Not only will you learn, but you will also have plenty of stories to share, enabling you to practice your storytelling skills and making you the life of the party.

Embrace insanity. No, not to the point of practically admitting yourself into the mental ward. As John Russell once said, "Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting." Exactly! Every creative thought was once deemed insanity by other "normal" people at one time or another. Luckily, that didn't stop the creative geniuses from standing by them. The thing is, sanity or being normal confines people to think... well, normally. Withink limits. Creativity is essentially breaking through barriers. Yes, this includes the bizzarre and the downright strange. I'm not saying that you yourself should develop a creative personality. That might go haywire. An example of a creative personality would be George Washington, who often rode into battle naked, or James Joyce, who wrote "Dubliners" with beetle juice for an intense fear of ink, or Albert Einstein, who thought his cat was a spy sent by his rival (or in thinking creatively in this case, the term could probably be "archnemesis.") It's important that your creativity doesn't get you detached from the real world completely.

I hope this article has inspired you to start thinking beyond your "limits." If you follow these steps pretty soon you'll be living a life full of interesting adventures. Unleashing your creative thinking will bring about a new zest for living life.

A Football Heaven Called England

2007-08-10T14:44:00.000Z

England is a football crazy nation; talk to any sports fan here and you will come out highly educated about the ins and outs of this highly electric and entertaining game. From the moment you step onto the underground train full of supporters you can feel the excitement and the anticipation in the air.

Once you get to the game there are 90 minutes of action on the pitch, and about 90 minutes of singing off the pitch! Whether it be the Scousers of Liverpool singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone', or fans singing a song in honour of one of their players, or to taunt the opposition, the grounds are rarely quiet.

It's quite difficult to get Premier League tickets, especially to the big clubs. If you're having difficulty, it's usually best to book a long time in advance, and if you don't mind which teams you see, try some of the lesser known clubs in the Premiership. You are lucky if you're a Manchester United fan, because its easy to get accommodation in a Manchester hotel.

It's usually easier to get tickets to teams such as Fulham (London), Middlesbrough (North East England) or Blackburn (North West England) than it is to get tickets to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal.

If you can't make it to a game, you may like to do a tour of one of our famous stadiums. A London hotel might not necessarily burn a hole in your pocket! Most of the big clubs offer stadium tours where you can get a behind the scenes look at the players' changing rooms, the facilities and if you're lucky a chance to sit in the Manager's match-day seat! Look at the clubs' websites for more details, or you can book a stadium tour of Chelsea's Stanford Bridge ground here.

The metropolitan area is surrounded by national parks, and contains many bays, rivers and inlets. It has been recognised as a global city by the Loughborough University group's 1999 inventory.

Hotels in Sydney cater to a wide variety of tourists for various regional backgrounds.

Choose Your Diet Carefully

2007-06-30T17:53:00.000Z

In today's big bad world of fast food, obesity is the order of the day. It has become more and more essential to be careful about not only what we eat, but also how we cook the food we eat. Low fat recipes have become the norm for the health conscious, and its a good fad.

A great source of aft in our foods is the cooking oil. But there are some types of cooking oil which are actually beneficial to your health - Canola oil is one of them. Canola oil is just one of many sources of fat that’s actually good for your body and well-being – in moderation of course. Omega-3 fat (a type of fat found in canola oil and many other foods) is a form of polyunsaturated fat that helps to prevent heart disease, control cholesterol levels, enhance mental health, and reduce the inflammation of arthritis, amongst other things.

Seems like this is one fat you should do your best not to avoid.

Although it may sound like the name of a Starwars battleship, “The Omega-3” is actually a fat (or fatty acid) that is needed by the body and must be consumed as part of any healthy diet; even as little as 2g a day can make a difference.

While most foods are made up of many types of fat, certain foods are more omega-3 rich than others. Consider the following for good sources of omega-3:

Plant foods and oils

Very high in omega-3 (55%)

Flax seed (Linseed) oil

High in omega-3 (8-15%)

Silver - A Precious Metal

2007-06-09T14:47:00.000Z

Silver, like other precious metals, may be used as an investment. For over four thousand years silver has been regarded as a form of money and store of value. As an investment product, silver is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots.

There may never be a better time for buying silver bullion than right now. World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero.

Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s silver and precious metals investment leader.

The Art of Meditation

2007-06-03T19:16:00.000Z

Meditation refers to a state where your body and mind are consciously relaxed and focused. Practitioners of this art report increased awareness, focus, and concentration, as well as a more positive outlook in life.

Meditation is most commonly associated with monks, mystics and other spiritual disciplines. However, you don’t have to be a monk or mystic to enjoy its benefits. And you don’t even have to be in a special place to practice it. You could even try it in your own living room!

Although there are many different approaches to meditation, the fundamental principles remain the same. The most important among these principles is that of removing obstructive, negative, and wandering thoughts and fantasies, and calming the mind with a deep sense of focus. This clears the mind of debris and prepares it for a higher quality of activity.

The negative thoughts you have – those of noisy neighbors, bossy officemates, that parking ticket you got, and unwanted spam– are said to contribute to the ‘polluting’ of the mind, and shutting them out is allows for the ‘cleansing’ of the mind so that it may focus on deeper, more meaningful thoughts.

Some practitioners even shut out all sensory input – no sights, no sounds, and nothing to touch – and try to detach themselves from the commotion around them. You may now focus on a deep, profound thought if this is your goal. It may seem deafening at first, since we are all too accustomed to constantly hearing and seeing things, but as you continue this exercise you will find yourself becoming more aware of everything around you.

If you find the meditating positions you see on television threatening – those with impossibly arched backs, and painful-looking contortions – you need not worry. The principle here is to be in a comfortable position conducive to concentration. This may be while sitting cross-legged, standing, lying down, and even walking.

If the position allows you to relax and focus, then that would be a good starting point. While sitting or standing, the back should be straight, but not tense or tight. In other positions, the only no-no is slouching and falling asleep.

Loose, comfortable clothes help a lot in the process since tight fitting clothes have a tendency to choke you up and make you feel tense.

The place you perform meditation should have a soothing atmosphere. It may be in your living room, or bedroom, or any place that you feel comfortable in. You might want an exercise mat if you plan to take on the more challenging positions (if you feel more focused doing so, and if the contortionist in you is screaming for release). You may want to have the place arranged so that it is soothing to your senses.

Silence helps most people relax and meditate, so you may want a quiet, isolated area far from the ringing of the phone or the humming of the washing machine. Pleasing scents also help in that regard, so stocking up on aromatic candles isn’t such a bad idea either.

The monks you see on television making those monotonous sounds are actually performing their mantra. This, in simple terms, is a short creed, a simple sound which, for these practitioners, holds a mystic value.

You do not need to perform such; however, it would pay to note that focusing on repeated actions such as breathing, and humming help the practitioner enter a higher state of consciousness.

The principle here is focus. You could also try focusing on a certain object or thought, or even, while keeping your eyes open, focus on a single sight.

One sample routine would be to – while in a meditative state – silently name every part of you body and focusing your consciousness on that part. While doing this you should be aware of any tension on any part of your body. Mentally visualize releasing this tension. It works wonders.

In all, meditation is a relatively risk-free practice and its benefits are well worth the effort (or non-effort – remember we’re relaxing).

Studies have shown that meditation does bring about beneficial physiologic effects to the body. And there has been a growing consensus in the medical community to further study the effects of such. So in the near future, who knows, that mystical, esoteric thing we call meditation might become a science itself!

The Stress Free way to Travel

2007-04-19T08:34:00.000Z

Many of us live in different areas than the rest of our family. Many of us live several states away from Mom and Dad and there are some of us that require flight time as part of our holiday ritual. The World of holidays can be a tough choice though, considering the plethora of exciting locations to visit. For those of us that have to travel to other countries during the holiday season, flying could be tougher than at other times of the year. Here are a few tips for world travel during the holidays.

First of all, keep your smiling face on during your airport experience. In the airport, the employees have all of the answers and they have all of the power. When you are already running late or sense the upcoming delay in your flight, it is easy to lose patience with these scrooges, but keeping your temper in check could be very beneficial. After all, everything that goes wrong in your life is not their fault, it just seems that way at the moment. Keep in mind that being super nice during a not-so-great situation could mean "free upgrade" and being not so nice could result in lost luggage, or even worse, a full body search as you are "randomly" picked out of the line.

If you have the opportunity, fly during off peak hours. It may be a little inconvenient to have to leave out in the middle of the night, but it could mean beating a huge crowd of people in the airport. Plus if you leave your home airport in the middle of the night, after the time differences (or the international date line) you may be arriving at your destination at a great time of day. Better yet, it could be discounted tickets for those "Red-Eye" flights.

Traveling with children could make everything difficult. Keeping them happy is not always the easiest task on your list of things to do on your world travel. Think about how bored and agitated you get while having to wait in lines and in terminals, then how bored you get on the plane, then multiply that by at least 20 Ð that is how your kids feel. Keep them occupied with small, quiet toys, coloring books, handheld video games or DVD players, etc. What ever will keep their attention and save your sanity.

Are you considering information technology careers? Millions of new students are going to information technology colleges all over the country every year. This is one of the best bets when it comes to useful degrees. I'm not dismissing other degree programs; however some of them tend to lead graduates to nowhere.

Many people are finding it difficult to find good paying jobs with their Liberal Arts degree. I'm not saying that it's worthless, but opportunities with information technology careers are much more numerous than art-based career openings.

You can easily find the most sought after jobs on the Internet. If you pop open your Google search engine and check it out, you can easily bring up websites like CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com.

Who was Nostradamus?

2007-04-17T09:26:00.000Z

Born in the early 16th century, Nostradamus has become one of the world's most widely known and read prophets.

His poetic yet cryptic quatrains are claimed by some to conceal information about future events. He completed a total of 942 quatrains which he organized into Centuries - groups of 100 quatrains (one Century only had 42 quatrains).

Do these writings actually predict the death of popes, rise of tyrants, and natural catastrophes to come?

Read his prophecies, hear the arguments, and decide for yourself.

Would you like to see a brilliant interpretation of one of Nostradamus' quatrains. It will "prove" one of two things to you:

1. Nostradamus was even more insightful than imagined OR
2. The quatrains are obscure enough that they can be interpreted to predict any occurrence.

The Powers of a Positive Attitude

2007-03-23T19:16:00.000Z

I am going to ask you to something very weird right now. First of all, I want you to listen to your thoughts. Now tell me, what thoughts fill your head? Would you label them as positive, or negative?

Now let's say you are walking down the street with these thoughts.

Do you think anyone who would meet you would be able to tell you what’s on your mind?

The answer to number one is up to you. But, the answer number two can be pretty generic. Although people will not be able to tell you exactly what you think, they will more or less have an idea of how you are feeling.

Here's another question. When you enter a party filled with friends, do they all fall silent as if something terrible had happened? Or does everybody there perk up as if waiting for something exciting to happen?

You know what? The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind.

Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too – unless, of course, you are a great actor.

And it doesn't end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you.

The type of attitude you carry depends on you. It can be either positive or negative.

Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this type of attitude.

Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake.

A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.

We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, more or less you have a negative attitude brewing up. However, if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely carry a positive attitude.

You have much to gain from a very positive attitude. For one, studies have shown that a positive attitude promotes better health. Those with this kind of attitude also have more friends. projecting a positive attitude also helps one to handle stress and problems better than those who have a negative attitude.

A positive attitude begins with a healthy self-image. If you will love the way you are and are satisfied, confident, and self-assured, you also make others are around feel the same way.

A negative attitude, on the other hand, has, of course, an opposite effect. So, carrying a negative attitude has a twofold drawback. You feel bad about yourself, and you make others feel the same way.

If you want to have a positive attitude, you have to feature healthy thoughts. This is probably very hard to do nowadays since, all around us, the media feeds us nothing but negative thoughts. A study shows that for every 14 things a parent says to his or her child, only one is positive. This is truly a saddening thought.

If you want a healthier outlook in life, you need to think happy thoughts, and you have to hear positive things as well. So, what can you do? Well, for starters, you could see a funny movie, you could play with children, spend some time telling jokes with friends. All these activities fill you with positive stimuli, which in turn promotes positive attitude.

Although it is impossible to keep ourselves from the negative things around us, you can still carry a positive attitude by focusing on the good things, the positive things in life.

And this positive attitude you now carry can be of benefit to other people. Sometimes when other people feel down, the thing people mostly do is try to give them advice. But sometimes, all they need is somebody to sit by them, and listen to them. If you have a positive attitude you may be able to cheer them up without even having to say anything.

If positive attitude is really great, why do people choose to adopt a negative attitude instead? One who carries a negative attitude may be actually sending a signal for attention. Before you get me wrong, feeling sad, angry, or gloomy is not wrong itself. But dwelling on these thoughts for far too long is not healthy either. There is a time to mourn.

As always, if you are beset by troubles, even in your darkest hour, focus on the good things in life, you will always have hope. Problems become something you can overcome.

You do not have much to lose by adopting a healthy, positive attitude. Studies show that such an attitude actually retards aging, makes you healthier, helps you develop a better stress coping mechanism, and has a very positive effect on all the people you meet every day. So, what's not to like about a positive attitude? Adopt one today.

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within

2007-03-23T19:14:00.000Z

Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?” Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.

So, how does one become genuinely happy?

Step 1 is to love yourself.

My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.” To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.

Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, wining and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy? Every one has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”.For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted- “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”

Invest in Gold

2007-03-17T13:43:00.000Z

These are difficult times for the world economy. The US dollar, once the undisputed king of currencies, has fallen down hard in value against most of the world's currencies, and especially against the Pound and the Euro. Do you remember when gas was only 25 cents a gallon? You could take a Dollar down to the gas station and buy four gallons for it! At that time our dollar was backed by REAL money, real silver. You'd be surprised - that same amount of silver still buys four gallons of gas! That just shows that real money like gold and silver holds its value and it is the green paper money that is now worth a lot less. As a matter of fact, when you think about it, you realize that gas, food, and almost everything else has NOT become more expensive. It only seems that way because the value of the green paper money is worth less and less and so it takes more and more of it to buy the same goods and services. Most people think prices have gone up, but in reality: it is the value of the US dollar that has actually gone down.

Investment experts have long-recommend portfolio diversification and that 10% to 20% (and sometimes more) of an investor’s assets be devoted to tangible assets such as gold, silver and platinum bullion and coins, and in today’s uncertain political and economic environment, there are many reasons to consider investing in these precious metals now. In my opinion, just buy gold, and buy it now before its too late - before it gets too expensive you cant afford it.

As one of the America’s oldest, largest and most experienced firms specializing in precious metals for the individual investor, Monex is uniquely qualified to serve your precious metals needs.

Energy Healing 101: Pranic, Tantric, and Reiki

2007-03-16T01:41:00.000Z

You have probably come across exotic-sounding terms such as “chakra”, “prana”, “aura”, and “tantra” in your course of reading books on spirituality, sex, and healing in the New Age literature section of the bookstore. But what’s the real scoop behind these exotic vocabularies?

Are All Energy Healings the Same?

Chakra or energy center is a term used in Pranic healing, an ancient Hindu system of energy healing. “Prana” means life energy. “Aura” is another terminology traced to Pranic healing. Aura is a non-physical body that consists of energy, which exists along with our physical body. The aura that covers our body is said to have seven layers pertaining to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual as manifested by energy. Studying the color and thickness of auras give ideas on the state of health of individuals. Six colors are associated with aura and interpreted into six personalities. These colors are all present in an individual but one or two are more pronounced.

Green – ambitious achiever
Blue – spiritual peacemaker
White – unconventional chameleon
Red – activist
Orange – creative communicator
Violet - psychic

Although Tantra is popularly associated with the peculiar practice of sex and spirituality, it is another method of energy healing. It comes from the word “tan” which means to spread or expand. The concept of connectedness is a recurring theme in Tantric writings on sex and spirituality. As a method of healing, spirituality and sex figure prominently. It is presupposed that the union of man and woman can reach spiritual levels during orgasm, which removes the body and mind off collected impurities. These impurities being negative energies can in turn manifest as physical illnesses.

Unlike Pranic and Tantric healings, which have Hindu origins, Reiki originated from Japan. It is relatively younger than Pranic and Tantric healings having been rediscovered in the early 1900’s. Reiki stands for universal energy, an energy brought forth by higher intelligence. Students of Reiki are taught how to tap this energy to heal physical, emotional, and mental illnesses.

Although Pranic, Tantra, and Reiki are all systems of energy healing, they differ in the type of energy tapped for healing: life energy, sexual energy, and universal energy respectively.

The concepts of the connectedness of mind, body, and spirit; the connection of individuals to all living and nonliving things around them and to the universe; and how energy impacts physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are some of the salient similarities of these three healing methods.

Why Do People Turn to Energy Healing?

Pranic, Tantric, and Reiki are considered alternative methods of healing. In spite of the availability and relative accessibility of modern medicine, how come more and more people are being drawned to them? Here are some possible reasons:

· Energy healing worked where modern medicine failed.

For several reasons both explainable and unexplainable, modern medical treatment failed to heal ailments and conditions in several if not many persons. Research or data may not be able to support this statement. But for the families of the dying as well as for the dying patient, they would take the risk of using alternative methods ranging from herbals and organics, faith healers, witch doctors, and New Age healing techniques just to be get well.

· People perceive modern medicine to be isolating.

Medical treatments are oftentimes focused on the disease and its causative agent, which can make a patient feel isolated and treated like a mere host of the disease. Although recent developments in hospital practice are gradually promoting the holistic treatment of a patient, the perception still persists. Unlike in energy healing, since energy and spirituality are intimately linked, the patient feels that all aspects of his health are being attended to.

· Energy healing is non-obtrusive and natural thus it is safer.

Repeated surgical procedures are physically and emotionally traumatic for most patients. It is but a logical and attractive option to both patient and families to look for less stressful health interventions. Moreover, with the rising popularity of New Age religions, going natural is the way to go.

· Energy healing is a good way of relieving stress.

Meditation is part and parcel of energy healing methods and this is an added come-on for highly stressed people. Moreover, sophisticated equipment is not required thus it becomes all the more convenient for students and future students of energy healing.

The battle between alternative healing and mainstream medicine continues as both present the benefits of their approach. But in the final analysis, what matters is the restoration of good health.

5000 Year-Old Medical Secret Unearthed

2007-03-05T11:45:00.000Z

When you get sick, you go to the doctor. And the doctor will, of course, prescribe medicines. You will go and buy medicines. You take them, and hopefully, you get well.

This is how the health profession goes on nowadays – a cycle of diagnosis and prescription.

If anyone were to give you herbs for medicine, you would probably say that that person was a quack.

But nowadays, studies are being conducted to see if there are really is any merit to what is called natural medicine.

Natural medicine is the use of natural methods, herbal medicines, and traditional practices to heal ailments. Every culture has a form of natural medicine. In ancient cultures, village medicine men served as the doctors of the community, passing on medical knowledge to the apprentices that followed them.

Many categories of the healing methods fall under natural medicine. Among these are traditional medicine, complementary medicine, and alternative medicine.

Usually, natural medicine refers to medical practices that were in place before the advent of modern medicine.

This includes herbal medicine, or phytotherapy, which is prevalent in Chinese, Ayurvedic(or Indian), and Greek medicine.

Upon the advent of modern medicine, many professionals discarded the use of herbs in favor of man-made medicine. The fact that these treatments are based on the healing properties of some herbs was forgotten.

For example, opium, digitalis, quinine, and aspirin all have their roots in traditional medicine.

Natural medicine can be considered as a lost art. This does not mean that it has lost efficacy over time. In some cases, natural therapy is actually better than modern medicine. This leads some doctors to seriously consider and study the possible uses of natural medicine

Before we continue, it is important to stress that not all the natural remedies are legitimate. It would help to only try those remedies which have been thoroughly studied and are relatively risk free.

Take herbal medicine for example. There are many well-documented and studied herbal remedies available. However, only those that deal with minor ailments such as cough, colds, fever, skin rashes, and its ilk are likely to be recommended by health professionals. These remedies are sometimes superior to synthetic medicine. This is because herbal medicines are less likely to cause negative side effects.

Currently there are numerous organizations that study the effects and advocacy of natural medicine – among which is herbal medicine. Some governments and health agencies openly advocate the use of natural methods since they are inexpensive and relatively risk-free.

As their studies compile, more herbs and treatments are added to the list of accepted medicines. However, many herbs and treatments have been proven to be bogus medicine. This represents a challenge for both the user and the agencies because they have to ascertain that the treatments they either use or advocate are legitimate.

There exist today many alternative medical treatments that fall under natural medicine. However, not all of them have been proven to be effective. You could mention homeopathy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, and other alternative medical treatments. It would pay to consult the experts as to the legitimacy of these treatments.

Natural medicine should also be thought of as an accompanying medicine. Right now, the current collective medical thought suggests that natural medicine be used only to supplement accepted modern medical practices. In that case of minor ailments your expert we actually advise you to take natural therapies instead.

The practice of modern medicine revolves around diagnosing an illness and prescribing treatments for such. Natural medicine is helpful because it suggests that treatment be not necessarily given only when sick. Natural medicine strives to make each patient practice good health habits. These habits include good diet, healthy living, and the regular natural treatment.

It is this same line of thought that leads our parents to tell us to eat our vegetables. Yes, a healthy lifestyle and will do no harm to our well-being. And this is the foundation of natural medicine – may it be massage, herbal medicine, aromatherapy or others.

It is funny but true that science, in its quest for excellence, is studying the knowledge of sages past. This, surprisingly, leads us back to the remedies nature offers. The possibilities of finding remedies to everyday illnesses in natural medicine are encouraging. So staying tuned to studying these remedies is worthwhile until we can verify that these therapies are truly helpful to our health and our society.

Spiritual Growth: The Spiritual Challenge of Modern Times

2007-03-05T11:38:00.000Z

To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. As a result, our concepts of self-worth and self-meaning are muddled. How can we strike a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives?

To grow spiritually is to look inward.

Introspection goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month. You need to look closely and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Periodically examining your experiences, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, and the things you engage in provide useful insights on your life goals, on the good traits you must sustain and the bad traits you have to discard. Moreover, it gives you clues on how to act, react, and conduct yourself in the midst of any situation. Like any skill, introspection can be learned; all it takes is the courage and willingness to seek the truths that lie within you. Here are some pointers when you introspect: be objective, be forgiving of yourself, and focus on your areas for improvement.

To grow spiritually is to develop your potentials.

Religion and science have differing views on matters of the human spirit. Religion views people as spiritual beings temporarily living on Earth, while science views the spirit as just one dimension of an individual. Mastery of the self is a recurring theme in both Christian (Western) and Islamic (Eastern) teachings. The needs of the body are recognized but placed under the needs of the spirit. Beliefs, values, morality, rules, experiences, and good works provide the blueprint to ensure the growth of the spiritual being. In Psychology, realizing one’s full potential is to self-actualize. Maslow identified several human needs: physiological, security, belongingness, esteem, cognitive, aesthetic, self-actualization, and self-transcendence. James earlier categorized these needs into three: material, emotional, and spiritual. When you have satisfied the basic physiological and emotional needs, spiritual or existential needs come next. Achieving each need leads to the total development of the individual. Perhaps the difference between these two religions and psychology is the end of self-development: Christianity and Islam see that self-development is a means toward serving God, while psychology view that self-development is an end by itself.

To grow spiritually is to search for meaning.

Religions that believe in the existence of God such as Christianism, Judaism, and Islam suppose that the purpose of the human life is to serve the Creator of all things. Several theories in psychology propose that we ultimately give meaning to our lives. Whether we believe that life’s meaning is pre-determined or self-directed, to grow in spirit is to realize that we do not merely exist. We do not know the meaning of our lives at birth; but we gain knowledge and wisdom from our interactions with people and from our actions and reactions to the situations we are in. As we discover this meaning, there are certain beliefs and values that we reject and affirm. Our lives have purpose. This purpose puts all our physical, emotional, and intellectual potentials into use; sustains us during trying times; and gives us something to look forward to---a goal to achieve, a destination to reach. A person without purpose or meaning is like a drifting ship at sea.

To grow spiritually is to recognize interconnections.

Religions stress the concept of our relatedness to all creation, live and inanimate. Thus we call other people “brothers and sisters” even if there are no direct blood relations. Moreover, deity-centered religions such as Christianity and Islam speak of the relationship between humans and a higher being. On the other hand, science expounds on our link to other living things through the evolution theory. This relatedness is clearly seen in the concept of ecology, the interaction between living and non-living things. In psychology, connectedness is a characteristic of self-transcendence, the highest human need according to Maslow. Recognizing your connection to all things makes you more humble and respectful of people, animals, plants, and things in nature. It makes you appreciate everything around you. It moves you to go beyond your comfort zone and reach out to other people, and become stewards of all other things around you.

Growth is a process thus to grow in spirit is a day-to-day encounter. We win some, we lose some, but the important thing is that we learn, and from this knowledge, further spiritual growth is made possible.

Introduction To Dream Interpretation

2007-02-21T00:30:00.000Z

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

--Oscar Wilde

Dreams are a unique experience for each one of us - they are often called the triumph of fantasy over reality. It is a state of mind where we always have the leading role and we are the only audience. The best approach to studying Dreams would be to pursue studies on Sleep. If you want to improve and understand your dreams, you must improve and understand your sleep.The best way to learn how to interpret dreams is to study and know your own self. You have to be able to cultivate your own individuality and creativity as well as understand your own fears and motivations. While there are many types of dreams, most dreams are often largely symbolic which indicates an area of our awareness that is not operating in its full creative potential. Very often our depression or unresolved issues can feed our creative life and our creative life is what nourishes our self-esteem.

The first step in interpreting a dream is to make note of any colours, numbers, letters and initials of people in the dream. There are significant messages to be obtained in this way. It is quite fun to play around with the initials and find words or phrases contained in the dreams. Remembering numbers from your dream is a very fortunate omen. Colours can indicate the mood or emotional background in the dreamer's life.Here are some simple questions to begin your interpretation and will help with your journal entries, if you choose to keep one. The following questions are designed to use as a Tarot reading, shuffle in your usual method and lay out your cards in 3 rows of seven. It is not necessary to have a Tarot deck to use these questions to interpret your dream.

The next step to is break it down into individual symbols, paying attention to size, differences, uniqueness or deformity, right or left, facial features, furniture and locations, to name a few. Next comes the most important step, I sit down and think about it , making notes of my first impressions. I consult two or three different books which offer interpretations of symbols and gleen what feels pertinent from there. It is then necessary to turn all of this information into an insightful observation. A good vocabulary is absolutely essential.

1. What were my feelings when I woke up after this dream?

2. What does this dream remind me of from my real life?

3. How does this dream relate to who I am?

4. Is this dream based in memory?

5. Is this dream related to past events, situations or people?

6. Is this a problem solving dream?

7. Is this a dream about a change I have to adapt to?

8. Is this dream trying to awaken a new potential within my Self?

9. What do the colours in the dream mean to me?

10. Is there a reason I needed this dream?

11. What am I trying to avoid in this dream?

12. What am I trying to confront in this dream?

13. Who are the people in my dream? (real, imaginary or aspects of self)

14. What do I like about this dream?

15. What do I dislike about this dream?

16. Is this an emotional dream?

17. Is this a physical dream?

18. What is this dream suggesting I do to take action?

19. What does this dream remind me of?

20. Is this a healing dream?

21. What is the positive message or lesson of this dream for me?

We live in a world where people are very disconnected from themselves and each other. We are experiencing spiritual deprivation and hunger. We lack the discernment to figure out whether our problems are stemming from our own submission to issues or issues that are subjecting us. We live in such a busy and businesslike world that we are also experiencing sleep deprivation. It is said that the curse of parenthood is sleep deprivation and anyone with children can relate to this. In the past two generations we have seen the erosion of our families and the near elimination of the middle class, people are stressed and vulnerable. People are looking for spiritual food and spiritual practice - the new Holy Communion is coffee and a donut at Tim Horton's.

It is most important to remember that you are dealing with sacred thought. The Light of God (however you may conceive God to be) is Eternal Truth but we as mere mortals cannot even begin to comprehend, much less fully express, what Eternal Truth is. The best way for us to understand and express parts of the concept of a Higher Truth are in myth, legend, folklore, music, dance, poetry and our dreams. They are like light refracting through God's prism. What the light reveals the light can also heal.

A dream is always the truth and always a lie. The spiritual guidance that can be accessed through understanding our dreams should not be taken for granted.

Sorat and the modern Day Evil

2007-02-21T00:18:00.000Z

“Sorat’s evil will be spread by his infernal army of soulless followers, willing to give their lives for his pleasure in subjecting mankind to horror of the ultimate magnitude.”

The above mentioned quote summarizes one of the main themes in Hearne’s political thriller, “Hulagu’s Web”. The book suggests that much of the horror, destruction and mayhem that happen in the contemporary world are explained by the endeavors of Sorat, Lucifer’s terrifying accomplice. It is said that Sorat incarnates every 666 years. 1998 would therefore be the year of his last manifestation. Coincidently, it is the same year that Usama Bin Ladin and his associates publicly declared their Jihad against the West with blatant orders such as “We – with Allah's help – call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.”

In his “Book of Revelation and the Work of the Priest”, Rudolf Steiner describes Abaddon’s attack on humanity. Abaddon (translated ‘destroyer’) is a demonic being born out of the abyss to lead an army of locusts with human-like faces. Rudolf Steiner explains the occult significance of this picture by suggesting that Abaddon’s army consists of human beings who have been completely deprived of their ego. Sorat can rule on Earth by populating the empty shells of such people with the spirits that serve him. This infernal army would subject mankind to trials compared to which all the horrors of the twentieth century would pale. Coincidently again, Abaddon is referred to in Revelation 9-11, the same date that is now synonymous with the destruction of the twin towers and the attack on the pentagon.

Sorat is described as the strongest power against good. To accomplish his desire of destroying the earth, Sorat would manifest his evil in the social evolution. The wars and mass murders of our time are evidence of his corruption.

The fanatism and the everyday hatred of man against man are evils often disguised as religious dedication and nationalism. Sorat would bend people to his will by using the influence of leaders, be them political or religious. Sorat’s alleged power lies in the ability to make followers believe that what they do for their fanatic leaders is right. As David J. Hearne says “the goal of this demon is to strip humans of their souls, egos and all goodness.” Sorat could make horrible acts virtually impossible to eradicate once people become unable to recognize actions as evil.

The video of a hostage being beheaded in Iraq is an example of the horror mankind is subject to. It shows how much influence such a leader can have over others. He would stay back from his disciples, as he directs them to behead the hostage. Whenever the men holding the prisoner looked uncertain, the leader would convince them that what they were doing was the just thing. The scene appears to be a struggle between the leader (persuading) and the followers (resisting). The film shows how the power of evil can pervert people’s senses to such a degree that destruction and horror replace the goodness and compassion in their souls.

The seductive powers of darkness act by using people's vulnerability and weaknesses against them. Terrorists claim their actions are for their love of God. Most of them believe that what they are doing is right. Someone who they see as a prophet or a messenger leads them to believe that they act in God’s will. This messenger is trusted and considered more important than their own lives. Sorat would exploit these people to “give their lives for his pleasure in subjecting mankind to horror of the ultimate magnitude,” as mentioned in Hulagu’s Web.

It is difficult to understand why well-intentioned, logically thinking people fall into such traps. How can one induce another to become a suicide bomber willing to die for some obscure cause and kill other innocent people? How can the human mind become so clouded and susceptible to such evil and debasing acts? The answer lies in the fact that many people need something or someone to believe in. Sorat and his progeny would use this weakness to lead those susceptible to their influence. The reasons for their acts are masked, people follow because they need to believe and fail to ask themselves a rational explanation for what they are made to do. Nevertheless, if people saw the true intentions behind these schemes they would not follow. Evil exists as long it disguises itself.

Sorat could only maintain his power by distorting the way people perceive what is good. He would reduce each individual to his level - an entity without soul or conscious. His ultimate objective is to alter the human existence by spreading destruction and misery. Eradicating mercy, benevolence, compassion and humanity (most needed qualities that Christ himself advocated) is the only way Sorat can achieve his goals.

The Dilemma Of Humanity

2007-02-13T21:30:00.000Z

It's an all-known fact that we must walk our own path, make our own mark, choose our own destiny and so on and so forth. Although we know all these over-rated life statements, why do we always find ourselves feeling stuck. As if there's always something holding us back from accomplishing whatever it is we are itching for. There's always something to break your spirit just when its starting to build up. Is there a higher being, whether it be a god or some extra-terrestrial being, intentionally making things harder for us? And if so, is there a purpose for all this or are we just a reality tv show for this higher source?

The human race is powerful. As a race, we have proven ourselves to be nothing less than great. We've turned so many things around whether it be industrialization, philosophy, art, or religion. We've made life more comfortable and connected. Yes, the human race is amazing, to say the least. This however, raises a crucial question. If men, collectively, are praiseworthy; why is it that the average individual tends to be an asshole? It's as if, as a group we're great but individually, we're just persons who don't give a shit. Has humanity become so obsessed with self-image that the only reason why we're great as a group is because we're all putting up faces to impress the exact same hypocrite beside us. This idea seems very cynical but you cannot ignore that it is possible. Although there are a few good eggs in the basket, it doesn't change the reality that most of the eggs in the basket are rotten and two-faced.

There's no question about it, the human race is going down hill. I don't need to be Nostradamus to predict this because all you need to do is look around. Watching the news for crying out loud has become so damaging to self moral and personal beliefs that the world is in fact beautiful; that reality shows (which I doubt aren't scripted in some extent) has become the drug of choice of today's society. Society has become so immune with the stark reality of bullshit that we would rather live our lives in such a way that we don't actually have time to care. We either work, drink, drug, or fuck ourselves to death just to forget about the bigger things in life. We've become so self-absorbed and selfish that we forget what makes us humans in the first place. We have forgotten the one thing that separates us from wild animals. We have forgotten the importance of compassion for one another. We're suppose to look out for each another, not out-do one another while stepping on each other's toes. Shoot me if I have a lingering respect for being human; because it is beautiful, it is powerful, and it is grand to be a person in this world! If we could only loose the ability to bullshit and start looking past ourselves then we could actually celebrate our existence. Maybe I'm too idealistic but hey, I want a moment to be real.

Nostradamus's clever clairvoyance

2007-02-08T21:06:00.000Z

Nostradamus's clever 'clairvoyance': the power of ambiguous specificity; how did a French astrologer, dead for over 400 years, become a premier commentator on world events in 2001? The authors' research shows that Nostradamus's dark prophecies are ambiguous enough to "work" for events selected at random and even when they are scrambled.

Amidst the chaos and confusion after the September 11 terrorist attacks, anxious people flocked to the Internet for any information that would shed light on the horrific event and its implications. In the weeks after the attack, Google, the most widely used World Wide Web search engine, predictably reported sharp increases in searches for "Osama bin Laden" and "al Qaeda."

Yet Google also reported that in the two weeks following the attacks, searches for a sixteenth century astrologer surpassed those for bin Laden and his organization (Grossman 2001). In fact, "Nostradamus" became one of Google's top searches, surpassing even the perennial favorite topic of "sex"! (See figure 1 for converging results from the "Buzz Index" on Yahoo, another popular search engine.) How did a French astrologer, dead for over 400 years, become a premier commentator on world events in 2001?

Michel Nostradamus was a sixteenth-century French physicist and astrologer who gained fame in the Renaissance for Centuries, his ten-volume collection of 942 four-line poetic prophecies, which he published in 1555. These prophecies have been eagerly studied for centuries.

In the tumult after tragic events, people over the last 400 years may have turned to Nostradamus to understand their world, just as modern citizens did right after the September 11 attacks. If so, then Nostradamus doesn't really have to predict events before they occur, he just has to look as though he predicted them after they have already occurred, That in itself is a pretty clever accomplishment: How could Nostradamus do it?

After spending a year researching his work and running controlled experiments, we suggest a combination of two factors: ambiguously specific prophecies that focus on dark, foreboding events.

Ambiguously Specific Prophecies

Anyone who has visited a card reader or psychic knows that the lifeblood of the fortune-telling trade is vagueness (such as "You will face an important decision soon"). In part, Nostradamus's prophecies seem to match this vagueness test. He used a famously cryptic, poetic style, interspersing his original French with selected Hebrew, Latin, and Spanish words and phrases, to create an aura of vagueness around each prophecy. Hence, each prophecy is difficult to attribute to an exact event.

But is vagueness enough? Clearly, it is not vagueness that drew Internet searchers to the following Nostradamus prophecy in the days after September 11:

At forty-five degrees the sky will burn,
Fire to approach the great new city,
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up,
When one will want to demand proof of the Normans.

On the contrary, it is the prophecy's unnerving similarities to the attacks; it seems written specifically for our time.

The Magical World Beckons Again

2007-02-03T21:39:00.000Z

2007 is going to be the year of...hold your breath....Harry Potter. While the Harry Potter movie based on the 5th book - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is scheduled for released on July 13 this year, J.K. Rowling recently announced that the 7th book in the hugely popular series - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out on July 21 as I came to know from this blog. The book is actually available for pre-ordering on Amazon at a discount of 43% (which brings down the cost of the book to around $18). You can directly visit the amazon website to buy the book through the image link in the sidebar. I'm quite excited for the book and will surely get deranged once July approaches.

J.K. Rowling will leave behind a great legacy for sure!

The Great Rapture Controversy

2007-01-28T10:24:00.000Z

The rapture of the Christian is a well known matter among believers around the world. It is sometimes referred to as the catching away. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24:37-42 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, and marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coining of the Son of man be. Then two shall he in the field; the one shall be taken. And the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

The Apostle Paul further elucidates the matter by adding to it a few details that the account in Matthew leaves out. 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 Behold I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Like so many other prophecies of the second coming believers can’t seem to fully agree on this one. The three common views are what are known as, pre-tribulation, mid- tribulation and post-tribulation rapture. That all believers dead or alive will be instantly transformed and carried up to meet the Lord at his second coming is not the argument. It is only when their going to be caught up that so puzzles the believer.

Not wanting to add to the confusion I can say that only the first two views have any possibility of being correct. The main purpose of Christ’s return is to judge a world that has plunged into the worship of the devil in the flesh (antichrist) and it culminates in the pouring out of God’s wrath on the entire world.

When the pouring out of God’s wrath actually begins in the course of the antichrist’s reign is extremely hard to pinpoint with accuracy. But whenever it is we who believe in Christ won’t be here. The reason this can be said without one shred of doubt is based on a promise God has made to his children that he will save them from the wrath to come. The wrath of God is for the wicked not for his own children. This promise is found in 1Thess.1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

The idea that we are not removed from the world before God starts to pour out his wrath, not only flies in the face of this clear promise but it smacks of absurdity. We would he directly in the line of fire and only a cursory perusal of God’s judgments would he enough to see that no one will escape some damage. In modern warfare that is called, collateral damage, but even this term would not adequately describe the damages to almost everything and everyone during God’s judgments.

Nostradamus Prophecies and Cryptographic deception

In the September 11 prophecy, a 1999 date was given but elsewhere the prophecies provided indications to advance two years (deception cryptography theory: the prophecies take measures to avoid a premature onslaught of attention). The "terror" prophecy, however, expressed the month of September as "sept mois," seventh month, not directly as "September." In his extensive analysis, St. George argued that for Nostradamus the year began on the Spring Equinox and not on January 1. Thus, to get rhyme with the word "Angolmois" at the end of the third verse, Nostradamus could have changed "September" to "sept mois" at the end of the first verse. Now, however, St. George sees another possibility: Maybe Nostradamus did not make a translation adjustment after all; maybe, instead, the prophecies are suddenly reverting to Nostradamus' calendar!

St. George therefore claims that the earthquake prediction is not officially dead until March 19, 2007, which would be the last day of 2006 on Nostradamus' calendar, likewise on the calendar used in London in 1666. St. George may find himself forced to abandon his cherished conclusion that the prophecies use only the Gregorian calendar. Here's the amended prediction: "one or two major earthquakes or ground-shaking catastrophes prior to March 20, 2007, resulting in massive death in either London or the Greek islands." Will it happen? Perhaps not, but St. George considers himself the world's leading authority on the prophecies and he says this is the last chance he sees for the prophecies to make a notable prediction in the advance of the event.

Why the last chance? St. George explains that the prophecies are coming to an end. They're exhausted. At best, there are two or three unfulfilled prophecies. One may concern Iran. Another may concern North Korea and an atomic explosion, about which he comments: "It is unhelpful to make a prediction like that. Such possibilities are in the news all the time these days. Any fool can make a prediction like that. It's valueless even if it comes true."

Consequently, according to St. George, the prophecies of Nostradamus can be declared officially dead on March 20, 2007. For unknown reasons, their author failed to supply us with a single instance of being able to predict an event. St. George, never doubting that the future was accurately foreseen because of overwhelming retroactive evidence, is dismayed: "You need a successful prediction. That's the only thing people understand. That's the proof. I personally don't need to see an advance prediction because I learned to comprehend the thought processes behind the already fulfilled prophecies. Perhaps an expert at solving cryptic crossword puzzles could comprehend some elements of those thought processes, but, in general, cryptic thinking seems beyond the reach of most people. A clear and successful prediction is therefore needed to attract the attention of the world's scientists."

The Midas touch

2006-12-17T16:17:00.000Z

Gold - the yellow metal, the midas touch has been the most favored form of exchange since time immemorial. Buying gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one's wealth and purchasing power. Gold bullion is a unique investment. From the time of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to more modern times, man has had an affinity for gold. As an investment product, gold is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they are actually defined as ingots. In all ages, man has been fascinated with the beauty and magic of gold, and with its power to change men's lives. In the 21st century, the beauty of a gold bar lies in its proven ability to diversify investments, protect wealth and preserve one's purchasing power.

For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America's gold and precious metals investment leader. Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America's best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.

Dream Interpretation - the meaning of dreams

2006-12-14T19:17:00.000Z

Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. In many of the ancient societies, including Egypt and Greece, dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention, whose message could be unravelled by those with certain powers.

The ancient Greek's constructed temples they called Asclepieions, where sick people were sent to be cured. It was believed that cures would be effected through divine grace through dreams experienced within their confines. Dreams were also considered prophetic or omens of particular significance. In ancient Egypt, priests also acted as dream interpreters. Hieroglyphics depicting dreams and their interpretations are evident. Dreams have been held in considerable importance through history by most cultures.

Dream interpretation was taken up as part of psychoanalysis at the end of the 19th Century; the manifest content of a dream (what is perceived in the dream) is analyzed to reveal the latent content of a dream (the underlying thoughts of the dream — why it was dreamt). One of the seminal works on the subject is The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.

For example,

to see animals in your dream represents your own physical characteristic, primitive desires, and sexual nature, depending on the qualities of the particular animal. Animals symbolizes the untamed and uncivilized aspects of yourself. Thus, to dream that you are fighting with an animal signifies a hidden part of yourself that you are trying to reject and push back into your subconscious. Refer to the specific animal in your dream.

To dream that animals can talk, represents superior knowledge. Its message is often some form of wisdom. Alternatively, a talking animal denotes your potential to be all that you can be.

To dream that you are saving the life of an animal, suggests that you are successfully acknowledging certain emotions and characteristics represented by the animal. The dream may also stem from feelings of inadequacy or being overwhelmed.

Talking of places,

to see a beautiful standing building in your dream, signifies your destiny for luxury and plenitude. Never lose sight of the importance of having caring and loving people around you.

To see a castle in your dream, signifies reward, honor, recognition, and praise for your achievements. It foretells that your future will be a happy one, surrounded by the love of your children, generosity of neighbors, and comfort of friends. You are destined to a position of power, wealth, and prestige.

To dream that you are in a cemetery, signifies sadness and unresolved grief.

Psychics and Psychic Reading

2006-12-11T13:12:00.000Z

According to Wikipidea, a psychic is a person who has abilities of extra-sensory perception, such as clairvoyance, psychometry, and precognition, or other paranormal abilities such as psychokinesis. The study of such paranormal abilities is called parapsychology.

The issue of whether or not psychic abilities are real is controversial within science; however, recent polls show a high instance of support amongst scientists and academics.
Parapsychologists have scientifically studied psychic abilities for over a century, and many have claimed that belief in some psychic abilities may be scientifically plausible. For instance, parapsychologists such as Dr. Dean Radin, a leading para psychological researcher and President of the Parapsychological Association, claim that psycho kinetic alteration of the output of random number generators is scientifically well-founded.

Mediums, like psychics, also claim to have extra-sensory abilities but claim to obtain their information from spirits or the deceased.

The term "psychic" is also featured in many variations of Gnosticism. For a brief treatment of the subject, and how psychics related to pneumatics and hylics in the Gnostic hierarchy, see hylics.

The Bahá'í faith acknowledges the reality of the potential of psychic ability, but characterizes many claims as false. Of the true ability itself, it is suggested that individuals do not seek to develop it as it is an unnatural condition perhaps hurting the development of the soul and the natural practice of that ability is from the next world. However there is a distinction between psychic ability and a gift of the Holy Spirit - while the former is to be avoided, the second is to be lauded and the first is often faked while the second is rare and precious.

A psychic reading is an attempt to foretell the future of an individual or group. There are many types, methods and systems of psychic or extra-sensory readings employed by those who claim to have psychic abilities. A professional psychic may have one or more specialized areas of expertise such as Psychometry, Distant Readings, Tarot Teading, Astrology or Horoscope Readings, Numerology, Palm Reading, Past Life Readings, Aura Readings, or any number of other methods.

Psychic readings include face to face readings such as in-person readings at home, psychic party readings for a group, and the less detailed and shorter psychic fair readings. Distant readings include internet readings, phone readings and mail readings. In some rare cases, a method of psychic sensing known as remote viewing is used.

Its a tough world, but there's hope...

2006-12-07T21:49:00.000Z

There was a time when people were content with having done their BA and settling for an easy job. Times have changed. There's tremendous competition, especially in the filed of education, where hundreds of thousands of students are competing with you to get into Harvard, Yale and Princeton. You might not get into your preferred course, or you might not get into your preferred college, i.e. , you might have to sacrifice. There are others, who are not able to pursue their higher education due to various reasons - they might have been forced to work their way out right after school, or they just could not afford the education.

For all such people, the best solution is to get into an online college. And here, you have the option to choose the best in online education. One such place is Capella University - an accredited* online university that has been offering graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelor's degree programs in business and information technology.

Predicting the Future...

2006-12-06T21:49:00.000Z

by Mike Treder

How far into the future can anyone actually see?

Most of us reject things like the prophecies of Nostradamus, or the psychic predictions of Jean Dixon. However, you're probably not reading this blog unless you're interested in understanding the future, like we are.

So, which predictions can we trust? (Our friend David Brin has recommended the establishment of a predictions registry. We like that idea.)

One good rule of thumb is that the further out the future is predicted, the less you should trust the prediction -- which becomes more true each year in this age of accelerating change.

The Long Now Foundation was established in "01996" to "creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years." Sounds good, if awfully ambitious.

Similarly, the Foundation for the Future has good intentions for helping humanity make our way successfully through the next millennium.

Considering how much more change is expected in the next one thousand years than in the previous thousand, can we really expect to be better at forecasting the year 3000 than someone in 1006 would have been at seeing our time?

But never mind a thousand years. How about just predicting the biggest breakthroughs of the next 50 years? As part of their 50th anniversary celebration, NewScientist asked 70 of the "world's most brilliant scientists" for their ideas.

In coming decades will we: Discover that we are not alone in the universe? Unravel the physiological basis for consciousness? Routinely have false memories implanted in our minds? Begin to evolve in new directions? And will physicists finally hit upon a universal theory of everything? In fact, if the revelations of the last 50 years are anything to go on -- the Internet and the human genome for example -- we probably have not even thought up the exciting advances that lay ahead of us.

Nostradamus Update...

2006-12-02T09:51:00.000Z

The following article titled

My prediction: Nostradamus will get it right more often than the Mail

appeared in The Times (UK) on Nov 13, 2006 :

NOSTRADAMUS, Tony Booth and Christopher Biggins would seem strange bedfellows. Yet they share something in common. All have, at some stage, written about the end of the world. There is, admittedly, a difference between them. Nostradamus delivered his doomy predictions under the patronage of the French monarchy in the 16th century. The stars of, respectively, Till Death Us Do Part and many series of pantomimes, did so last year on behalf of the Daily Mail.

Cast your mind back 12 months. What then was the raging controversy? It was the proposed reform of the licensing laws. An editorial in the Daily Mail promised an apocalypse on a scale almost unimaginable. The police, it said, feared uncontrollable drunken yobbery, judges were forecasting an increase in violent crime, hospitals expected longer waits for treatment for ordinary, decent citizens as staff sought to cope with “ a flood of injured drunks”. As for the public, they faced “more no-go zones and vomit-splattered pavements in towns and city centres”.

In a conclusion calculated to strike fear into the heart, the self-styled mouthpiece of Middle England said: “We can only await the outcome of this wretchedly irresponsible piece of misgovernment: the legacy of a coarser, uglier, more disordered society bequeathed by politicians who never listen, never think things through and always imagine they know best.”

And who was recruited to serve as chief expert witness? Enter Tony Booth. In what he insisted was “not me taking a cheap shot at a Government that happens to be headed by my own son-in-law” (I believe him, I bet it was a well-rewarded shot), Mr Booth cited his many years of past alcoholic excess and, to paraphrase Enoch Powell, like the Roman he saw the Tiber foaming with much lager. The move was “wrong, muddled and dangerous”. The Continentals might be able to sip wine in the early hours of the morning but: “We drink in a more primitive, frightening Anglo-Saxon way. We drink to get drunk.” Some people, he prophesied, “will never be sober again”.

Are You Prepared for World War 3? Part-III

2006-11-21T19:06:00.000Z

Hmmm. So are you prepared? Lol. Ok, we're going to continue the discussion we were having in my previous to last post, Are you prepared for world war 3? Part-II . ..which is a continuation of its previous post, Are you prepared for world war 3 ! So here continues our discussion, with the blessings of Nostradamus:

Well, let's say you had an inside source in the secret government, and he told you about the plan. Let's say you regarded it as having the authenticity of all those insider stock tips he'd given
you over the years that had made you a bundle. Someone who could discourse effortlessly on Masonic kingpin Albert Pike's 1 prediction that there would be THREE World Wars and final one would begin in the Middle East and erase both Zionized Christendom and Islamic world in one mighty stroke. And someone who had scary connections with alphabet intelligence agencies.

Yes, I see. What would I do? Hmmm.

Would you run, or would you try to alert others? Oh dogbiscuits! You know what it's like to tell people that you really know what's going on, and that they don't. They think you've got marbles rattling around in your brain, and they just ignore you, at best. At worst, they call Homeland Security and the men in the little white coats with the large guns show up at your door. At least, you become socially ostracized for not going along with what everybody else believes.

So which would you do?

Well, I guess I'd try to find out if the tip was real or not, and if I
determined it WAS real, I'd try to alert the most important people
I know to see if they could do something about it.

What would make you decide if the tip was real or not?

Well, our best sources are on TV, I think. At least that's what
everybody believes. Most people don't believe something is
really real unless they see it on television.

So you're saying that what you see on TV is actually real?

No, I'm not that naive. I know stuff that appears on the news is
often shaded by those who own the TV networks to inflict the
spin they want to put on most world events. Hell, that's how we
got in all those wars.

So what if someone on TV, highly reputable, came on and
predicted all-out nuclear war? Would you act on that?

Probably not. I wouldn't believe him.

OK, say you were certain of the tip you received being real. Then
what would you do?

I'd call the police, then my congressperson.

And what would you do if they all said you were nuts? And then
they said they knew who the bad guys really were, because they
had this evidence that they couldn't really tell you about because
of National Security, but they were going to nuke them all to
smithereens.

I don't know. Cry? Or run into the street screaming.

OK, one more question. If you had the power to impact a large
number of people and the money to arrange some effective plan
of action to the catch the people who were planning to use
nuclear weapons, and you were certain that they were going to
carry out their plan on the basis of at least 50 years of continuing
atrocities perpetrated against innocent people which they later
blamed on completely innocent patsies, what would you do .....?

Are You Prepared For World War Three? Part-II

2006-11-17T21:56:00.000Z

In the last post we talked about what kind of people are ready for world war 3.

First, there are the people who are already victims of major wars, the people in Palestine,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Colombia.....

Second, there are the people who plan and wish to execute
nuclear wars.

Third, there are the people who saw it coming and had the
foresight to move to remote locations in the Southern
Hemisphere. As long as widespread nuclear explosions didn't
trigger a pole shift, those in the lower Southern Hemisphere
would be relatively safe from the nuclear winter that will follow
World War Three and render the entire Northern Hemisphere
completely uninhabitable. The winds in the world are pretty
much hemisphere specific, so that the winds that blow around the
world in the Northern Hemisphere don't cross over into the
southern, and vice versa, although with the magnitude and
volume of these explosions in all-out nuclear war, there is bound
to be some crossover. Humph. Sonofagun. You have this all
worked out, don't you?

What will you do when it actually happens?

When what actually happens?

When World War Three actually happens, how will I find out about it?

Well, there are several ways you could find out about it. If you
lived in an urban area like New York or Beijing or Cairo or
Teheran, you'd probably find out about it when you saw a flash
of light brighter than anything you've ever imagined, but it would
last for only a millisecond and then you'd see nothing ever again.
If, like most people, you lived in towns moderately close to these
cities, you'd probably feel these humongous thumps and wonder
why your house was disintegrating all around you. If you lived
way out in the sticks you'd start to see these radiant atmospheric
flashes, feel relatively gentle ground tremors, and then in a few
hours you'd see a smoky blackness creeping toward you from the
direction of the cities that would grow blacker and blacker as the
hours passed. Depending on each person's individual perceptual
skills, it would be a matter of minutes or hours before you
realized you would never see the sun again, because you will
never survive the abject cold that would be produced by the sun
being blotted out for probably from five to 15 years, except, as I
said before, in extremely lucky places in the way Southern
Hemisphere. Didn't you ever wonder why all those Israelis are
buying up huge chunks of real estate in Patagonia?

You mean I won't see something on television and be able to
briefly feel a pang of remorse about someone else being killed
far away, and then be able to put it out of my mind so I could
watch Monday Night Football with my usual intense focus?

Not likely. Here's a variation on the initial question. What would
you do if you got information that you really believed and trusted
that World War Three was about to start in a few months? What
steps would you take to prepare yourself?

How would I know I could trust the information?

Well, you'd hear it from the sources you always trusted. Your
newspapers, your TV, maybe even from some particularly
reliable Internet site.

But would I believe it? Would I be willing to give up everything
I've worked for all my life, and just bolt into the wild blue yonder
because I read something some journalist, no matter how well
connected, might have just dreamed up?

This discussion, to be continued in the next post on this blog on Nostradamus and his prophecies.

Are You Prepared For World War Three?

2006-11-16T18:02:00.000Z

When that defining moment finally comes, will you
have the time to remember what you could have done to stop it?

Let's pretend, just for the moment, that this is a hypothetical
question.

Let's pretend, just for argument's sake, in the comfort of your
own easy chair, in front of your own big screen TV, just a few
easy steps away from your favorite, anxiety-reducing snacks in
your refrigerator, that this is just an academic exercise in
geopolitical and psychological speculation, a polite
brainstorming session that imaginary participants might conduct
if certain coincidental worst case scenarios were to come to pass
... all at the same time.

And let us acknowledge, in the calm certainty of our own
typically secure routines, that any resemblance of this imaginary
debate to actual persons and events living or dead may not be
purely coincidental.

OK? Got it? Pretend it's hypothetical. Just for fun. Then let's
begin.

Are you ready for World War Three?

What kind of pathetic paranoid poppycock is that? What IS this?
Another
Y2K drill? Much ado about nothing, I think.

Remember. You're pretending it's hypothetical. You agreed.

Oh, all right. Let's see. Mmmmmm .... of course I'm not ready.
Nobody is ready for World War Three. You CAN'T get ready for
that.

What will you do when it happens?

Sit here and be vaporized, I guess. What could anybody do?

So ... does that mean you're not ready?

Of course I'm not ready for World War Three! Is anybody ready
for World War Three?

Yes, I think there are some people who are ready?
Oh yeah? Who?

Well, three types of groups, at least. First, there are the people
who are already victims of major wars, the people in Palestine,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Colombia, not to mention Burma, the
Philippines, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Congo, and certain other
countries, people who are already scavenging in often radioactive
garbage dumps just to make ends meet; many of their
relatives or children have already been killed by invaders, and
they're just living hand to mouth, not caring whether the food
they eat or the things they find might be radioactive or not,
because when your expected life span is only a few more weeks
or months, you don't much care about those things. Survival
becomes a day-by-day operation. If the superpowers who have
these weapons destroy themselves by using them, that would be
good news for the folks routinely diving in dumpsters.

Second, there are the people who plan and wish to execute
nuclear wars.

They have already built themselves secure bunkers miles beneath
the earth's surface. There are many in the U.S. and Europe. The
figure they can ride it out, and they have a new, secret technology
that actually detoxifies radioactive contamination, but
they're keeping it under wraps until after the
Big One so then they can come out when the coast is clear and
continue making scads of money doing two things: cleaning up
radioactive rubble and repossessing real estate whose owners
have been obliterated, are slowly and agonizingly died of
radiation poisoning, or simply have scampered off to more
hospitable climes.

Third.... to be continued in the next post

The Far Future

2006-11-15T13:29:00.000Z

We've come a long way on the Nostradamus prophecies. From the assassination of current Pope prediction, to the rise of antichrist leading to world war 3, the world after the world war, and much more. Today, I'm going to post what Nostradamus has predicted for the far future.
Here it is:

(Centurie IV, Quatrain 25)
Mankind will begin to focus on developing himself spiritually.
The knowledge for the task has been in front of him but has not
been noticed or understood. When he begins to realize what is
possible it will astound him.
In the far future interstellar space travel will take place by mind
emanations and psychological power, rather than mechanical
means.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 17)
Long after the time of the Antichrist and the time of troubles a
"forty-cycle" drought will come about. People will survive only
by extracting water by melting ice at the poles and distilling it
from sea water. Later, the climate will become very wet and
copious flooding will occur. This is a natural cycle of the earth,
and it causes civilizations to perish during ice ages. "Forty
cycles" is something like four thousand years. Man will cause the
problems because some aspect of his technology will be
endangering the delicate balance of the ecosystem enough to
eventually trigger an ice age.

(Centurie X, Quatrain 74)
The "end of the world" will arrive after the seventh cycle which
we are currently living in. After this cycle is complete, man's
accomplishments on Earth will generally be complete, and even
though the Earth will exist for some time forward, the wheel of
karma will no longer send man to earth but to other locations.
Human civilization will have fallen down and been rebuilt
several times. Some of the old traditions of e.g. bloody, violent
gladiatorial games will be passed down through the times into
the far future.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 48)
If man can avert the wars, an extensive and peaceful space
expansion and exploration can take place, with times of growth
and prosperity for humanity. A base will be established on the
moon, a major center of communications and scientific research.
The base's major purpose is to develop freestanding or selfsufficient
space stations in various shapes. All have solar sails
that provide energy. This will last for up to 1000 years.
The sun in our solar system will eventually explode in one last
burst of energy and then die down to nothing. This will totally
incinerate the planet, although the earth will have long since been
dead.

Atlantis, The Great Genius & Nostradamus

2006-11-13T16:22:00.000Z

Atlantis
Atlantean civilization existed and the people could work stone with energies the way modern man uses concrete or metal.
Physical evidence of Atlantis is spread around the world; one site of the civilization was in the Atlantic on a now-submerged island. The civilization was destroyed when the earth plunged through an asteroid field, either through accident or the deliberate intent of extraterrestrials who felt "threatened" by advancing civilization.

The Great Genius
The Genius will come the second generation after the Antichrist
when people of child-bearing age today have grandchildren, in
the mid-21st century

- Great Genius builds space stations and successful artificial
intelligence machine, transferring his consciousness to it.
Intelligent machines used to manage space stations. Occurs in
21st or 22nd centuries(Centurie IV, Quatrain 32)

- During the time of the Great Genius L-5 space stations will be
developed for manufacturing materials in space. Scientific base
possibly established on Mars, scientific and communications
facility established on the moon. The station will be built
negligently. New ways of collecting and distributing solar energy
will be devised. (Centurie IX, Quatrain 65)

- The Great Genius will unify religion and science and explain
ancient documents, making clear the metaphysical connections
between the universe and spirituality. (Centurie VII, Quatrain 14)

- Discovery several centuries after the Great Genius intermeshes
grandly with his knowledge and allows people to burst free from
all physical bounds and limitations. (Centurie III, Quatrain 94)

Well, all this that you read above has been predicted by Nostradamus, not me...
As promised earlier, post is hort and crisp. Hope you're liking it.

Gold and Silver is the future

2006-11-11T19:25:00.000Z

From the time of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to more modern times, man has had an affinity for gold bullion. The major currencies of these civilizations consisted mostly of gold coin(s). In all ages, man has been fascinated with the beauty and magic of gold, and with its power to change our lives. Today, the beauty of a gold bar lies in its proven ability to diversify investments, protect wealth and preserve one's purchasing power. Looking at the current trends of the world, gold and silver can be considered the safest investments. In fact, there may never be a better time for buying silver bullion than right now. World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero. Since the end of WWII, for example, the U.S. government - once the largest stockpiler of silver on the planet - has dumped billions and billions of ounces of silver bars onto the world market, effectively depressing silver prices. Today, that government silver hoard is gone . . . and now the U.S. government is a silver buyer. For these reasons, silver bars represent an outstanding investment opportunity. Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. Monex companies have been an investment leader in America's gold, silver and precious metals.

Past Events Predicted by Nostradamus

2006-11-10T15:34:00.000Z

These are quatrains that refer to past events. I am including them here to give the reader a way to judge Nostradamus' credibility in prophesying. Note that Nostradamus dealt especially with calamitous world events like WWI and WWII, and areas of personal interest, e.g. the French Revolution or advances in science and medicine.

Discovery of microorganisms by Pasteur
(Centurie I, Quatrain 25)
WWI and WII, atomic bombing
(Centurie III, Quatrain 75)
radiation from atomic bombing
(Centurie V, Quatrain 8)
Hitler's fall and suicide, backlash against Nazism (Centurie III, Quatrain 36)
Japanese and German imperialism in WWII, atomic bomb
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 95)
Nixon's diplomacy with China
(Centurie II, Quatrain 89)
Cold war and the Cuban Missile Crisis
(Centurie V, Quatrain 78)
Microchips,electronics/communication revolution
(Centurie III, Quatrain 13) Challenger shuttle disaster, NASA politics
(Centurie VI, Quatrain 34)
Misuse of Presidential office in Watergate
(Centurie VII, Quatrain 41)
Abuse of power by unsavory fundamentalist leaders
(Centurie II, Quatrain 27)
Rise of AIDS (Centurie II, Quatrain 53)

Cover-ups
These are some quatrains that refer to current or past situations
but are not part of recorded history due to the cover-ups. If
evidence of these came to light it would certainly be outstanding
evidence of Nostradamus' capabilities for seeing the truth.
Secret Russian voyage to Venus (Centurie IV, Quatrain 28)

-- The Russians sent a manned mission to Venus as a way of
competing with the American mission to the Moon. The
astronauts died.

-- Secret Viet Nam involvement and POW's (Centurie II,
Quatrain 89)

The U.S. is covertly involved in manipulating VietNam political
structure and actual American prisoners are being held, not
necessarily from the war, but from the secret involvement.

Incidents
These are miscellaneous events predicted for our times.
-- Discovery of extraterrestrial meteorite/ore .
(Centurie I, Quatrain 21)
Somewhere in western North America a meteorite will be found
by miners looking for ore. They think it might be radioactive but
it is a useful new element on the periodical table.
-- Tomb of ancient influential Roman philosopher discovered
(Centurie III, Quatrain 65)
The tomb of an ancient Roman figure will be discovered. The
man is famous for his philosophy and theories about everything,
and his discourses and writings on the nature of things, which are
still in existence, and have had a profound effect on Western
thought.

The New World Order...... continued

2006-11-08T21:38:00.000Z

According to Nostradamus, in the new world order (after world war 3), there would be many more positive occurences for mankind. The Nostradamus prophecies continued, my friends:

Great Genius unifies religion and science
(Centurie VII, Quatrain 14)
The Great Genius will help unify science and religion and bring
about the enlightenment and peace of the Age of Aquarius
foretold by prophets. People will be able to free their inner selves
and open themselves up to the higher powers and the higher
levels of the universe. In effect it will make everyone a
philosopher. Sects and religions that embrace the newly
discovered principles will be widespread as adherents meet and
share experiences in exploring the "upper regions".

Great Genius discovers the science of miracles
(Centurie III, Quatrain 2)
The great genius will realize the magic of alchemy through his
discoveries and inventions. The new philosophy engendered by
his discoveries will encourage the development of mental powers
and anything will seem possible in the climate of a greater unity
of mind, soul, body, and emotions. People will be able to
manipulate the basic forces of the universe in a way that will
seem utterly fantastic to those not involved with the occult.
People presently involved in occult and psychic realms currently
deal with these forces without understanding, but in the future
understanding will be present, sharpening the efficacy of the art.

Astonishing feats of medicine
(Centurie II, Quatrain 13)
Future medicine will reach astonishing sophistication by today's
standards and will eventually be able to renew a body or "breathe
back the spirit" into, i.e. reanimate the body. A breakthrough in
science will have a profound effect and man will finally "touch
God", so to speak. The spiritual core of the universe that
animates everything through life-force will be discovered, the
central source of this the divine spirit. It will seem like a
profound rebirth of humanity.

New philosophy of the Age of
Aquarius
(Centurie I, Quatrain 69)
A new philosophy will emerge in the New Age, more compatible with the reality of the higher planes and life on earth. The philosophy will have seven basic tenets that appear simple on the
surface but are actually very deep. After a period of peace the people of earth will become lax and uncaring of the higher aspects of spirituality because they "have it easy". A war and
famine and other hardships will turn minds toward higher realizations as people think there must be something more to their existence. It will absolve existing contradictions in philosophies that perplex people, and will overturn older,
established religions. It will have sociological effects and will affect the laws of countries. The philosophy has its roots in the Age of Aquarius.

After the Antichrist..ctd

2006-10-28T11:22:00.000Z

I apologize for the delay in posting. I was quite busy in Diwali celebrations with friends and family. Diwali - the festival of lights, is one of the most important festivals for Hindus. Anyways, we shall talk about that later, since its not related to the topic we are tracking.

It is time now, that we continued with Nostradamus prophecies regarding the time after World war 3 and the Antichrist's defeat:

Old vs. Young Souls
There is now (implying the time after wwwiii) a higher proportion of old souls in the world than
there has ever been before, because the old souls will be needed
to help the world survive. They can be found everywhere,
permeated in the oddest places. The old souls will be in
communication with each other and they are the ones that will
help things hold together and survive.

Nostradamus states that his communication is intended to help us
avoid the worst-case scenarios of his visions that could be
averted with great determination and resolve. The time of
troubles will be a very trying time. The spirits on the earth at this
time are there by choice to work through major amounts of
karma. Living in this stressful period will be like concentrated
karma, or the equivalent of ten average human lifetimes.
The older and more advanced spirits volunteered. Some younger
spirits were simply feeling adventurous. Others are here not
because they wanted to in their hearts, but they had to or it would
be the "end of the line for them" as far as spiritual advancement.
They're not fully volunteers but just enforced volunteers, so to
speak, because they knew they had no other choice. Most of the
people are understandably unhappy, but some make the best of
the situation and some don't.

Scientific discoveries reaffirm Eastern religion
(Centurie II, Quatrain 22)
Military scientists--not those researching weapons, but doing
research-- will discover a new force other than the basic ones of
electricity, magnetism, gravity, etc. shortly after the time of
troubles. This new force will give supporting evidence for

Eastern religious views. The countries in this part of the world,
particularly India, will "turn inward" to contemplate the
discovery and rise in greater glory than through outward
communication with other nations. It is not so much a discovery
but a realization.
The evidence for the force has been in front of us but the facts
have been misinterpreted and wrongly associated with other
phenomena, such as "statistical aberration". The force will relate
to mystical phenomena such as teleportation.

More open, frequent contact with extraterrestrials
(Centurie I, Quatrain 29)
After the time of troubles there will be much closer and open
contact with extraterrestrials and UFOs. One extraterrestrial race
will be heading for an undersea, sea floor base they have
established but the craft will malfunction and be cast up on the
shore. The people will perceive them as the enemy out of terror.
Some of the "Others" are enemies, and some are not. There is
more than one group of "Watchers". Some mean well for
mankind and some have more selfish motives in mind.

"Green" revolution, return to the land
(Centurie II, Quatrain 19)
People will turn to peace after the horrors of the Antichrist. A
"green" revolution with roots in the social revolution of the early
0s will ensue. People will live in extended families beyond the
nuclear families of the modern era. Larger families and groups of
people are needed to build and support new communities. The
new communities will be very earth and ecology-conscious.
They will help heal the earth of the horrible degradations of
weaponry from WWWIII.

They will reclaim and cultivate wasted, misused, or unusable
land for farmland. Since the will for peace is all-encompassing,
building defenses will not be necessary. In direct reversal of the
20th century trend, cities will be torn down to expose soil to
sunlight and make room for farming. So many will have died
during WWWIII that plenty of land will be available to the low density
population. People will be inherently pacific and reclaim
land beneath concrete instead of fighting over land.

The New World Order

2006-10-19T13:29:00.000Z

In the last post I talked about the defeat of the antichrist after the third world war. Well it wasnt exactly me, but the great seer Nostradmus, whose prophecies I have been decoding to yeo fellowmen! Today, I have posted below Nostradamus' prohecies regarding the new world order after the very destructive third world war....here goes:

The New Age of spiritual rebirth
The shift will usher the beginning of a new age Even though
there will be physical deaths; there is no death of people's
consciousness, but a different awareness. Do not feel that people
would not know life. There will be those that will be left here to
make a new beginning for the earth
Whether the worst of the events prophesied come to pass, there
will be a great spiritual rebirth throughout the world. Individuals
will have the opportunities to "get in touch with themselves" and
come to a realization about the falsehoods of materialism. After
communication is restored after the time of troubles, people will
come to this realization together, and a great rebirth of
philosophy that blends the Eastern and Western religions will
ensue.
It will be a worldwide movement upholding the Truth as
everyone perceives it, bringing about the best aspects of the Age
of Aquarius. Focusing on this "ray of hope" during the time of
troubles could alleviate the worst aspects of the suffering; the
materialism of the majority of the population will regrettably
make this unlikely.

Reawakening of freedoms and rights
(Centurie II, Quatrain 44)
The U.S. will suffer defeats fighting the Antichrist as well as an
internal political deterioration during the time of troubles. When
the time of troubles are over people will celebrate their victory
and freedom, and reawaken in the U.S. the spirit of liberty and
rights embodied by the Statue of Liberty, which were dead
during the time of the Antichrist's tyranny. The people will
regain their rights and the way of life will improve from the dark
times.

Peace after WWWIII
(Centurie VI, Quatrain 24)
An American president with a strong Cancer influence will push
for war and cause events to fall in place for it. But after WWWIII
the populace will be repulsed by war and elect a new president.
He will want peace and work for it, and peace will reign for
some time afterwards.

Spirituality transcends technology
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 29)
This quatrain refers to the grand design that is emanating from
the "center of the wheel" during the time of troubles and the
healing period afterwards. The sun and Mercury/Hermes are
symbols of "the higher aspects". The sun in this quatrain
represents the overall power of the universe from which
everything originates. Mercury represents the materialistic
aspects of technology. Hermes, in relation with Mercury,
symbolizes modern communications technology. Vulcan, i.e. one
who works with fire, represents warfare.
The "hidden sun" represents the fact that the societies of the
world have gotten out of touch with their spiritual source. They
are ignorant of their origin and the "meaning of life" and they
search for fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and do not
succeed. They think it's found in modern technology, hence the
"sun being eclipsed by Mercury". It's held only second because
what people really hold first is personal pleasure and happiness.
And in trying to find happiness in technology they separate
themselves from the central source of the universe.
By the end of WWWIII and the time of troubles, and the healing
process begins, people will be reunited with the source. The
horrors of war and bloodshed--the powers of Vulcan--will cause
them to realize that technology does not contain the answers to
happiness. They will gain a new insight into "from whence they
sprang and where they are going". The time of healing will usher
a more spiritually mature age, and people will be able to heal
themselves and the world, and go far in preparing to join the
community of the Watchers.
The central hub of the "wheel" represents the source of
everything and radiating spokes symbolize channels of power.
The space between the spokes contains different scenes in the
background, representing the various influences the "aspects"
have on historical developments as a result of the intensity of the
associated energies.

Feminine aspects of God revered again
(Centurie II, Quatrain 87)
The feminine aspects of God have been ignored, neglected and
reviled. After the demise of the Antichrist the pendulum will
swing back into balance. In early ages and in ancient societies
the female aspect of God was worshipped and revered. The
masculine aspect was also respected but was subordinate. During
the patriarchal era, which extends into the present, the female
aspect was suppressed and repressed. Society will come to terms
with the divinity of both masculine and feminine aspects. This
realization will help foster a more balanced worldview.

End of post...I shall continue with Nostradmus' Predictions regarding the new world order in the next post. They are really interesting an thought provoking...till then, ciao!

The Antichrist Defeated

2006-10-12T16:00:00.000Z

WTC Footage

September 11, 2001. Sadly, this was the event that brought Nostradamus and his prophecies into sharp focus. These are the precise words or quartains:

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,
while the fortress endures,
the great leader will succumb.

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

On the 11th day of the 9 month,
two metal birds will crash into two tall statues
in the new city,
and the world will end soon after.

Now we continue with the Nosradamus prophecies for the near future...

Ogmios confronts the Antichrist, fate of world in
balance
(Centurie V, Quatrain 80)
A leader figuratively referred to as "Ogmios" will confront the
Antichrist in battle. The crux of the pivotal struggle of WWWIII
will be in the "gray area" between Europe and Asia. The
outcome will be questionable for some time. During the time the
Antichrist is in power there will be constant skirmishes and
battles between his barbarian forces and those still free of his
tyrannical rule.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 85)
Ogmios will eventually emerge triumphantly victorious over the
Antichrist, but it will be a long, gradual, arduous struggle.

The Antichrist dethroned
(Centurie IX, Quatrain 73)
The Antichrist will rule for "less than the revolution of Saturn"
(29.5 years), far less than the grand span of time he envisions.
His reign will be temporary, because his power is like building a
fire with grass; it burns very hotly but quickly. His effect on
history and his "time in the limelight" will be limited. The time
from WWII to the end of WWWIII and the time of troubles will
almost encompass a century in itself.

How did you like this post. Please write in your comments, suggestions and requests. I will try to incorporate them in my blog. Ciao!

The Climax; fighting the antichrist

2006-10-06T16:08:00.000Z

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.
-Thomas A. Edison

Lovely quote isnt it? But how true to context it seems in today's world. Especially at a time when we seem to be arriving at a clash of civilizations. Well anyway, what will happen, will happen...and we can only do as human beings can.

Im quite excited now, as we are reaching towards the climax of world war 3 and the environment during that time, as predicted by Nostradamus. Here's the continuation of the prophecies of the great seer:

Seas, rivers, lakes boil; famines lead to insane
cannibalism
(Centurie II, Quatrain 75)
During WWWIII shipping and normal trade will be seriously disrupted. Some countries will have excesses of food, such as
bushels of wheat, but the price will be so out of proportion that
no one will be able to buy it. In countries where there is famine,
people will resort to cannibalism to stay alive. The wheat in other
countries will be stored in silos and rot because they cannot get rid of it,
cannot sell it. The price of the wheat is enormous in cost
partly because it is very dangerous to deliver or ship it anywhere
during wartime.

(Centurie V, Quatrain 98)
A very great drought will occur in the European continent during
the time of the Antichrist. Fish will die as seas, rivers, and lakes
boil. The Antichrist will be behind it. This event is not the same
but is related to the boiling fish at the Dark Point ( , Centurie II,
Quatrain 3). Two sites will be in distress from "fire in the sky".

(Centurie II, Quatrain 18)
The extremes in weather during the time of the Antichrist will
affect a battle. Extreme rain and hail will take by surprise two
armies lined up to do battle. As an alternative plan to
confrontation they try to fly planes above the clouds to drop
bombs on the opposing forces, "fire and stones falling from the
sky".

(Centurie IX, Quatrain 31)
The earth, after a relative period of peace, will suffer a great
natural disaster, involving severe earthquakes that rip the crust
open, spewing lava. The major earthquake will trigger other
earthquakes that will destroy large land areas. Famine and
fighting will set in. Countries will fight with each other over
surplus food: India and China will march to seize the corn and
wheat fields of Russia and eastern Europe. Communications will
break down. Religious leaders will lose credibility because of the
inability to explain the earth changes. Christianity will falter.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 67)
The climactic changes caused by the detonation of the terrible
weapons will cause famines in scattered areas, and conditions
will get worse. The uninhabitable regions will continue to grow
until the areas connect large surfaces of the earth's land masses,
and the majority of humanity will be suffering. People will
become virtually insane with the persistent lack of food, and will
eat things like tree roots, and even seize newborn infants.

Antichrist's commander succumbs to key
strategic failure
(Centurie VI, Quatrain 33)
The Anti-Christ's supreme commander will make a major failure
of judgment on the field in an extremely strategic battle and the
bulk of his forces are captured or killed. The supreme
commander misuses some technology that has not yet been
developed, causing his downfall.

Russia breaks free of the Antichrist
(Centurie VI, Quatrain 21)
The Antichrist will seem all powerful and all conquering and the
situation will appear hopeless. But "his star will be falling" and
his power will crack in crucial places. The U.S., Canada, Russia,
and later, northern Europe, unite together. In particular, even
though the Antichrist has taken over all of Asia, after a period he
is no longer able to control Russia. Russia breaks free and unites
with the unconquered countries.
The alliance strikes terror into the Antichrist who glimpses the
beginning of the end and his potential failure. He chooses
another field commander to continue his campaign, but the effort
fails. Rhodes and Byzantium, the site of his regional
headquarters, will be engaged in the most intense fighting. The
"northern pole alliance" will diminish his power by breaking
down his chain of command, communication capabilities, etc.
and attempt to break his stranglehold on his conquered
territories. This is the beginning of a turning point in WWWIII.

North Pole Alliance of North America, Europe,
Russia forms
(Centurie VIII, Quatrain 17)

At a point the Antichrist's forces become complacent from so
many frequent and rapid conquests. They will begin to lose some
battles and see their power is not forever.
The Antichrist will have taken over a large part of the world and
will become complacent. "Three brothers", the "alliance of the
pole", i.e. North America, Europe, and Russia, will trouble the
Antichrist and his world will tremble. France will be united with
the alliance in spirit, if not actually physically, because the
country will weaken seriously from the Antichrist's degradations.

Well thats it for the day. Hope you liked it. Please to write in your comments and suggestions. The next post shall be even more exciting - the antichrist dethroned to be precise....

Psychic reading; and the times of Mass Destruction

2006-10-02T18:20:00.000Z

As I have already mentoned earlier, this blog wont be limited to the antichrist, Nostradamus, and to his prophecies. We have more related and interesting subjects to discuss here. For today, I would like to introduce to you, psychic reading.
According to wikipidea.com, a psychic reading is an attempt to foretell the future of an individual or group. There are many types, methods and systems of psychic or extra-sensory readings employed by those who have psychic abilities. A professional psychic may have one or more specialized areas of expertise such as Psychometry,Distant Readings,Tarot Teading, Astrology or Horoscope Readings, Numerology, Palm Reading, Past Life Readings, Aura Readings,or any number of other methods.
Psychic readings include Face to Face Readings such as In-Person Readings at home, Psychic Party Readings for a group, and the less detailed and shorter Psychic Fair Readings. Distant Readings include Internet Readings, Phone Readings and Mail Readings. In some rare cases a method of psychic sensing known as remote viewing is used.

Psychometry Readings: Psychometry is a form of postcognition which enables the psychic reader to receive information about people,events or objects Events that had already occurred, or are occurring by being in close contact with the area or object where the event took place. If you seek pyschometry reading in the commercial world, the reader would ask for your favorite and closely worn objects such as wedding rings, glasses, car keys etc for the reading. The belief is that objects which are in close proximity to a person for extended periods of time hold some of that persons energy, energy which can be detected. This method is often used to try and locate missing persons.

And now, we continue with the prophecies of Nostradamus.

The crucial meeting on the naval carrier
(Centurie II, Quatrain 75)
During WWWIII and the great turmoil, an airplane will come for
a landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier. It will be from a
nation foreign to the country that owns the carrier. The balance
of political powers of the two sides involved will be very
complex and delicate.
The plane is from a power "slightly more aligned to the other
side" although still basically neutral. But to have any kind of
contact with the country that owns the carrier would have severe
political repercussions relative to the war, so the generals of the
carrier are reluctant to give permission to the plane to land. The
plane will carry an important political or military leader and an
important emissary who needs to deliver important documents
and messages. The situation will be very fragile and volatile.

Seas, rivers, lakes boil; famines lead to insane
cannibalism
(Centurie II, Quatrain 75)
During WWWIII shipping and normal trade will be seriously
disrupted. Some countries will have excesses of food, such as
bushels of wheat, but the price will be so out of proportion that

open, spewing lava. The major earthquake will trigger other

The Bomb and the Antichrist = Devastation?

2006-09-30T16:33:00.000Z

Ni hao () dear readers (thats the chinese for hello...!). Im sure all these posts about the antichrist and the ravages he is supposed to cause in this world appear exciting to some and depressing to others. Well, these are preophecies, and prophecies are known to come out true as welll as false, so you never know! But of course, they are interesting to speculate about, especially seeing the state of affiars in today's world. Im sure you have a decent idea about the antichrist now, and now I would like to put up a poll for you...The following poll is being repeated, because now my reader base is much wider, and most of you might not hacve seen that poll, buried under the previous posts.

The Antichrist - Who is he?

Who do you think is the Antichrist today?

Now to the great seer aka Nostradamus' Prophecies, continued from previous posts:

Bomb sent at New York by the Antichrist, France retaliates (Centurie VI, Quatrain 97)
In WWWIII many existing diplomatic ties between nations will
be broken and realigned. One that will continue to hold however
is the alliance between France and the U.S. A force aligned with
the Antichrist will send a bomb aimed at New York City. It will
be spotted and tracked as it approaches. The U.S. defense system
will feverishly concentrate on diverting or disabling the b omb,
and the U.S. will not be able to retaliate. As proof of their loyalty
the French are asked to retaliate, which they do with several
bombs and weapons.
The response will be immediate. The American leader uses a
hotline to communicate to the French Marshal, who launches
self-propelled bombs with "tongues of fire" against the
aggressor. In this war some of the bombs will hit New York and
some will be diverted. The bomb referred to here will be
prematurely detonated along the flight path, saving the city.
Many human lives will be spent when planes flying around the
bomb, trying to divert or destroy it, are blown up.

Bacteriological warfare strikes New York and London (Centurie II, Quatrain 6)

New York and in London will be hit with scourges from
bacteriological warfare, a deadly "bug", either bacteria or virus
or some type of disease-causing organism. It will be released into
the atmosphere to affect the populations of New York and
London. Because of separation and different gene pools,
spontaneous mutations in the organisms will affect the two
populations in different ways. It will appear to be two different
diseases even though it was caused by the same organism.
As a result of this plague the metropolitan infrastructures will
break down. The people near but outside the cities will panic and
shun the cities and refuse to deliver available food, effectively
putting them into quarantine. The city dwellers will starve to
death in droves. People will loot and raid stores, and soldiers will
stab them off at bayonet point. The government will try to evenly
distribute the remaining food but the people will panic and they
call on God to relieve them from their misery.

Antichrist conquers Europe (Centurie IX, Quatrain 73)
The Antichrist will take over Europe and begin to toy with the
idea of establishing some kind of dynasty. Because of his
background he is obsessed with power and attracted to the way
that a ruling family line can have a major effect on the flow of
history, manipulating society over a long span of time through
familial line, far beyond the influence of a single individual. But
his plans will not materialize because he is overthrown by
Ogmios and his monstrosities will be counterbalanced with
positive forces to heal the earth, directed by the Great Genius.

The Antichrist invades Britain
(Centurie II, Quatrain 68)
In his European campaign the Antichrist will attempt to overtake Britain, particularly to seize its naval forces for further advances.
England will resist and initially fend off the advance, with
support from the U.S. However, it is likely that the Antichrist
will eventually overcome England and the more passionate
members of the underground will flee to Ireland and Scotland.
The Antichrist will not succeed in overtaking the entire island.
North England, Scotland, and Ireland will not succumb, possibly
aiding the reunification of Ireland to fight the Antichrist.
Patriotic and stubborn Irish and Scottish spirit will play a
favorable role in turning the tide.

(Centurie III, Quatrain 16)
The British prince, a member of the English royal house, will be
eager to lead his troops into battle to defend his own and
neighboring countries that have treaties with Britain. He will
confront the Antichrist's forces in two major engagements and
will be defeated in one. He will be outflanked and will have to
retreat in disgrace.
Nevertheless the opposing forces will curse him because he was
a valiant fighter, and his brashly engaging in battle disrupted
some of the Antichrist's carefully laid plans for the conquest of
Europe. The man will return to England and the population will
give him a hero's welcome for his bravery despite the defeat.

End of post, hope you did vote who you think the antichrist is, will return soon with more exciting predictions continued from this post, ciao!

World War III - Antichrist Vs West

2006-09-27T12:48:00.000Z

Hello everybody. My blog got into a bit of a controversy recently, when a famous blogger Debbie Hamilton wrote negatively about my blog on reading about the prophecy of the currerrent Pope's assasination. He thought I was a fundamentalist bent hardcore on getting the Pope killed for his recent comments on Prophet Mohammed. Well then I explained to him that I just wrote about it because it was a prediction of Nostradamus, there was nothing personal or relegious about it and that it was too sensational a prophecy to avoid. It was then that Debbie replied through comments on my last post: "Is it the End of days Mr Nostradamus" (September 23, 2006) . He apologised for his conduct, and actually rewrote his post reccomending people to read my blog! You can read Debbie's comments there and also visit his blog by clicking on his name.

Before we continue our journey in the world of Nostradamus Prohecies, please take out time to visit my squidoo lens - www.squidoo.com/spiritualghost , about which I had also mentioned towards the end of my previous post. The Prophecies continued:

WWIII Overview: horrible battles, weapons, devastation, death

Because of the new awareness the western civilization has come

upon, and because of the accelerated rate of the shifting of the
earth's crust, and because of the conjunction of the planets, the
war *might* be avoided. Depending on the speed at which the
natural events occur. For as in any civilization, when natural
disasters occur this is more prominent than military conquest.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 40)
During the time of troubles and WWWIII there will be massive
naval, air, and land battles. The ultra-secret weapons that are
brought forth will shock and stun the world.

(Centurie VIII, Quatrain 17)
The Antichrist will not hesitate to use bacteriological warfare as
well as conventional warfare, causing hunger, fire and plagues.
The causative organisms will be more virulent than ever and
hence increasingly lethal.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 18)

When the Antichrist is taking over Europe, nuclear weapons will
wreak havoc like lighting strikes, and from them a "milky rain"
will occur. Weapons currently beyond our imagination will
wreak unparalleled devastation. Corpses will litter the landscape.
The very earth will "cry out in pain". The Antichrist will be so
terrible, horrible, and powerful that the rightful rulers of
countries will be utterly terrified and will not do anything to stop
his ravages. Entire dynasties will be wiped out.

(Centurie III, Quatrain 19)
Before the Antichrist takes over a place, he will rain down death
and destruction so that he can seize without opposition. He will
travel far from his resting place in doing this. Some of this
devastation will make past heinous events of the prior world
wars "look like child's play". Unlike Hitler's "rain of blood" he
will use a "rain of blood and milk."

Nuclear confrontation in the Middle East
A major nuclear confrontation will occur in the Middle East. The aggressor will have broken a promise not to use nuclear weapons in warfare. Naval fleets kept in the area by other powers will be scattered in ruins from the violence of the blast.
Radioactive fallout and its effect on people, animals, and
weather, and erupting volcanoes will turn the water of that part of the ocean a muddy red color. Because of this bodies will appear to float in blood. Because of the blasts and earth changes, rivers will change their course, and political boundary lines based on them will be redrawn.
The U.S. will have a Democratic president at the time. He will get involved with the conflict as a way of trying to stimulate the
economy from a depression.

Mediterranean campaign and the battles of Gibraltar
(Centurie III, Quatrain 10)
The Antichrist, during the Mediterranean campaign, will take
over Monaco as a crucial strategic position to advancing to Italy
and southern Europe. The successor to Prince Ranier, apparently
one of his sons, will be imprisoned after the takeover as an
obstacle.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 77)
In the Antichrist's Mediterranean battle Gibraltar will play a key
role. The key general, a naval officer, will succeed in saving
Gibraltar from the Antichrist's forces but will later die in an
automobile accident.
The Rock of Gibraltar will be a strategic position, captured and
retaken three times by various forces.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 98)
Marines on naval battle carriers will confront the Antichrist when
he attempts to invade Europe in the area of Crete and Thessaly,
but they will be outgunned and have to retreat probably to
Gibraltar. In the very fierce and bloody battle the Antichrist will
have to transfer many of his troops to a supply ship after a
fighting ship is sunk.

Death by radio waves
(Centurie II, Quatrain 2)
A new type of weapon involving radio waves played at a certain
frequency will be developed. At certain frequencies and
intensities the energy can cause intense pain in the nerve endings
and damage areas of the brain, or even be lethal.

Human eugenics research advanced by the King
of Terror
(Centurie X, Quatrain 72)
In 9 and WWWIII many horrible areas of research will be
pursued, including a eugenics project, i.e. breeding humans for
selected characteristics. This particular research will have been
ongoing for decades. The scientists attempt to bring back some
of the less civilized, fiercer humans, still smart but cunning and
strong, for the purpose of infantry soldiers. The governments
engage the bread humans in battles and the scientists will try to
tabulate their performance relative to normal human soldiers.
This will happen during the period of WWWIII and enormous
social unrest. U.S., Japan, Russia, and some European countries
will be involved. They have the gold to fund the research. A
"King of Terror", the "power behind the throne", is in charge of
the project. He has enormous secret influence and greatly feared,
unchallenged power over policy decisions in various countries.

That shall be all for the day. Promise to be back with more sensational prophecies..a continuation of the above topic; world war 3

Is it the End of Days, Mr Nostradamus?

2006-09-23T18:15:00.000Z

Nostradamus Prophecy
Hello dear readers. As you must have observed I have made this more of a weekly blog, posting mainly on weekends. Well encouraged by some responses, I am planning to be more frequent, maybe post every alternate day. I would love to get suggestions from anybody who has them. You can write your suggestions in the CBox at the right sidebar below previous posts and archives - for those who havent noticed it yet. Valuable comments will get a mention in my next post(s) and the commentator's name and email id wud be put in the spiritualghost hall of fame!

And now to more serious stuff. Last week I posted about deadly weapns that are being developed, and will be put to use very soon, according to the great seer, Nostradamus. Today, we shall continue with it, and thou shall come to know, how dangerously advanced thy civilization has become! Read along...

The top-secret earthquake-triggering weapon (ETW)
(Centurie IX, Quatrain 83)
A weapon will developed in secret underground laboratories that
can trigger earthquakes at existing fault zones. It will work from
a scientific principle recently discovered but not yet developed.
The weapon will involve an airplane or airborne origination that
may drop something or project a laser ray onto a region. An
extension of the device is carried in a plane that flies over the
area and focuses energy waves where the earthquake is to be
triggered. The more technologically complex power source will
be based and channeled from the secret laboratory via the plane.
The country that develops this will be able to hold it as a major
threat against major nations, because most nations have
geological faults that are susceptible to earthquakes and therefore
the weapon. The situation will parallel the development of the
atomic bomb by the U.S. in that the country will be the sole
owner and the capability for destruction will be so awe-inspiring
and frightening that everyone, including the infidels, will call
upon the saints for protection.
During the time of radical earth changes this weapon will be
applied to create many earthquakes, generally before the
Antichrist comes to power. The nation that develops the machine
builds it independent of the Antichrist's forces, but later when he
gains greater power he will be able to acquire the weapon. He'll
seize the machine for his own agenda of worldwide conquest.
The Antichrist will acquire the machine through deceit, trickery,
spies, bribery, and all other nefarious means known to man.

ETW unleashed on San Andreas and New Madrid Faults
The weapon will not be revealed immediately to the world. Only
after the country actually uses it and there is an earthquake
generated by it, followed by many others that occur without the
characteristic buildup of geological pressure, will people become
suspicious. The initial earthquake triggered by the weapon will
be sufficient to cause other earthquakes in a chain reaction. The
San Andreas and New Madrid faults in the U.S. will be affected.
The San Andreas will continually rumble and vibrate as a result
of the earthquakes triggered by the weapon, in time driving the
New Madrid fault to eventually erupt explosively and violently.
Initially geologists will think the earthquakes are due to natural
causes but later information will point elsewhere and they'll
begin to be suspicious. After more earthquakes and further
evidence they will finally confront the scientific world with the
mounting evidence that they are not natural.

Atomic device creates greenhouse effect, devastates agriculture
(Centurie X, Quatrain 70)
A type of atomic device, not exactly a bomb, will be created that when set off can disrupt the planetary climate. It will displace an air mass that will upset the balance of hot and cold, so that a greenhouse effect will get out of balance and run to the extreme, causing drastic changes in the climate, and wreak havoc on agricultural production.

(Centurie X, Quatrain 71)
The earth and the air will freeze as another effect of the atomic device described above. Many countermeasures to the
devastating climactic affects will be pursued but they will not
succeed, in spite of government announcements urging the
population to be calm and not to panic.
A famine is caused by weaponry explosions. Accidents that will affect the crops.

Death by the "milky rain" weapon
(Centurie II, Quatrain 18)
A "rain of milk" alludes to nuclear weapons with bizarre effects
on the weather, including a so-called "radiation rain". The
weapons will represent a combination of the worse aspects of
nuclear and laser weaponry. The laser weaponry, when it is shot
down upon people, will resemble a white substance coming
down.

"Explosion of light" causes horrible birth defects
(Centurie I, Quatrain 64)
In WWWIII some of the weapons will scream through the skies
before they hit, terrifying and deadly to the population. An
atomic or laser weapon detonated at night will cause victims to
think they have seen the sun at night. The weapon produces a
huge explosion of light. In addition to vast climactic damage the
weapon will produce monstrous birth defects in babies, so that
children will look almost "swinish" (i.e. like pigs). Scientists will
frantically search for ways to alter the effects of the weapon's effect on newborns. A breakthrough will eventually be made, based on an unexpected source in the animal kingdom.

Diplomacy dies with international earthquake
terrorism
The revelation of the weapon will cause a disintegration of
diplomatic nations and the United Nations will eventually
dissolve, because the paranoid nation that developed the weapon
will not share its technology but instead use it as a method of
international terrorism.

This is all for the day. Will be ready with the next post soon. Till then ciao!
PS: Are you dear readers, aware of something called a squidoo lens? I am sure most of you would be staring at the word, thinking I am mad. Lol, please check out my squidoo lens (click here) , and decide for yourselves. Have a nice time!

Nostradamus Prophecies;Weaponry Mixed with Natural Disasters

2006-09-16T15:20:00.000Z

The great seer says;

To avoid the worst effects of the pole shift, "Stop the explosions
that the military feels are so important." Understand that what
happens with your weaponry will have a large effect on how
much or how soon this devastation [of the shift] would occur.
Make people aware of the damage that can occur to their present
weaponry system. IF people become more aware of the damage
that can be caused by the military destruction, whether voluntary
or involuntary-- if this can be prevented, the reaction set off
beneath the earth's surface would be less damaging It is the earth
changes that will be causing the danger of the weaponry, not the
use of it. Accidents will occur in the New World, because of
natural earthquakes. The results that would happen from an
earthquake near one of your military housing of the weaponry
would cause your leaders to definitely realize the dangers.

Weather modulation devices go awry, cause ice
and hail
(Centurie I, Quatrain 22)
Devices developed by man to manipulate the weather will go
awry because of faulty programming. They will cause a great
deal of damage through unseasonal ice and hail. The scientists
don't understand the forces they are dealing with and that the
natural weather pattern will overcome interference in attempting
to attain proper balance. The computers will fight the increasing
intensity and break, damaged beyond use.

Nuclear reactor meltdown near city with
underground chambers
In the US, in the Rocky Mountains, a complete city will be built
near to underground chambers blasted into a mountain for the
storage of secret records. The water pumped into a nuclear
reactor will not be totally purified, and an element in the reactor
will cause a meltdown, unleashing radioactive poison.

Space shuttle accident releases microorganisms
into atmosphere
(Centurie II, Quatrain 65)
Incompetent leaders, who got their position by family prestige, in
a joint space venture between America and France, will be
behind an accident involving a space shuttle. The ship will have
scientists on board doing biological experiments to see the effect
out of the reach of gravity. An accident and malfunction will
cause the ship to lose orbit, break up and burn on reentry. Some
of the microorganisms on board survive the fall. They will have
the potential of causing plagues.

Devastating accidental weaponry explosions from
earth tumult
With the earthquakes and volcanoes will be accidental explosion
of the weaponry that is buried in the ground. This is going to
cause great emotional turmoil within the U.S. and [Britain and
France].
The countries in Europe will want disarmament. It is important
they realize that if this disarmament of the weapons comes about,
that will take place in the Moslem countries also.

Ruptured earth energy fields cause meteorite
storm
(Centurie I, Quatrain 46)
Research scientists will be investigating the powers associated
with the various energy fields of the earth. They'll try to harness
the powers for different purposes, including warfare. When they
begin experiments, in an area near the North Sea they will
accidentally rupture one of the earth's fields so that a beam of
energy will shoot out into space and draw a steady stream of
meteorites to earth. They will continue to rain down until the
scientists can repair the damage. Doing so will cause an
earthquake from built-up stress. The research will be a secret
government project. To the world at large this will appear to be a
natural phenomenon and will be recorded as such in future
history books, because the government will keep the project
concealed even after the accident.

Research into warping time leads to disaster
(Centurie III, Quatrain 92)
Scientists are researching how to warp and alter time to help
change the outcome of a war. Near the end of a war, after the
second failure, the research complex is destroyed in a large
catastrophe. Because they are dealing with powers they don't
know how to control it rips them apart. People not there assume
they were hit by a missile of some sort because of the
destruction.
But what really happened was that the vortexes of energy they
were trying to deal with were not fine tuned enough to work with
and they got out of control. It appears to involve England and
Northern Europe. It's in our future but the groundwork has been
laid already by scientists working on secret projects in this
direction. Something may come of it in our lifetimes but the
government will keep it under wraps.
The catastrophe will be very localized and will have some
strange side-effects in the dimension of time in the general area
there. The government was counting on it to give it an edge in
the war and loses it and will end up affecting the outcome of the
war.

New, horrific, secret, radical weapons
monstrosities in WWWIII
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 33)
Advanced technology that is currently being developed in secret,
referred to in other quatrains, will play a part in the time of
troubles. This will coincide with great famine, plagues, and
destruction with the onset of WWWIII.
Nations will be desperate and will try anything to stop the
Antichrist. Scientists will search for new, even more radical
weapons for warfare that almost defy belief.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 32)
Instruments of death built and refined during the time of the
Antichrist will wreak great destruction. Variations on atomic
weaponry and other devices will be developed. The ultimate
monstrosity in weapons will be created near Ravenna,
culminating research that is currently in progress during the time
of troubles. The weapons will particularly disrupt the natural
earth ecology. All sides in WWWIII will "have their fair share"
of horrible weapons.

(Centurie IV, Quatrain 30)
The space program will fall into disfavor through policy changes
in the government with the emphasis shifted in a different
direction than space exploration. The change is due to some
nefarious policy making behind the scenes the voting public is
not aware of but would not approve of if they knew about it. The
policy changes of redirecting the money toward military
applications will contribute to the horrors of the changes that are
to come. The machinations behind the scenes will not be exposed
until a later date.

Nostradamus Prohecies Continued; Antichrist Unleashed

2006-09-08T17:18:00.000Z

Hii friends. I wont take much of your time, and delve straight into the continuation of Nostradamus' prophecies. New readers of this blog please read from the second post titled "the prophecies of Nostradamus" , all my later blogs are continuation from that point onwards. Its like the harry potter series, only here, its mostly the story of the evil or the antichrist...and it is about a future that is very near...probably a year, or less!

The Nostradamus Prophecies continued:

Earth abuse causes agricultural devastation in
U.S. and Britain
(Centurie II, Quatrain 95)
Man will upset the balance of the earth and cause great changes
in the climate and seasons, causing much hardship and famine.
Major agricultural lands producing a lot of grain and food for the
world today will become frozen and will be unusable. The people
who live on this land and grow the food will flee like rats leaving
a sinking ship.
There will be dissension and fighting over the land. As a result of
the panic, incompetent decisions are made by the people in
power under enormous stress. Poor decisions will escalate into
major disasters. The U.S. and the United Kingdom in particular
will experience the dissension and destruction.

Underwater Russian submarine base defanged by
diplomacy
(Centurie III, Quatrain 21)
The Russians have built an experimental underwater submarine
base and dome in the Adriatic sea. They use it for subversive
submarine operations. When it is discovered, due to pressure
from statesmen, diplomats, and politicians, it will be brought to
the surface and the submarines will be taken away through
political maneuverings.

Extraterrestrials shot by paranoid nation,
bacteriological agents released
(Centurie II, Quatrain 91)
Extraterrestrials tried to contact us in the Siberia Tunguska
explosion in the 0s. Similarly they will again visit the earth. The
Russians are doing secret weapons research and have energy
fields guarding northern approach corridors. Another spacecraft
will arrive, paralleling this incident. When the extraterrestrial
spacecraft enters the atmosphere the fields will cause it to
malfunction and many of the crew are killed.

When they crash, soldiers will be on hand to capture or kill them.
The ship will harbor microorganisms that will react in bizarre
ways to the earth climate and cause plagues of unknown origin,
which cannot be understood because of the extraterrestrial
causative organism. The country will be at war or fixing to go to
war and will have a paranoid mindset. Thinking the crash is a
result of enemy weapons, the soldiers will shoot anything that
moves.

Extraterrestrial probe of the Watchers discovered
by scientists
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 28)
During the time of troubles, when the sun is between the earth
and Venus, i.e. from the point of view of Earth Venus is hidden
by the sun, the Watchers (extraterrestrials) will be exposed
through the powers of observation and communication. Scientists
involved with radiotelescopy and related disciplines will observe
an anomaly, and as they focus on it they come to the realization
that it is a strong indication of a real UFO. The readings are
caused by an instrument sent by the Watchers to observe
mankind.
The scientists and the populace will learn more about the probe
and the Watchers. But internal dissension will be created by
fundamentalists because the existence of extraterrestrials is not
consistent with their worldview. This will take place in
approximately 7 or 8. The Watchers are returning to mankind at
this time because they are trying to help him through gentle
prodding and increasing spiritual love. They have always kept an
eye on us and have observed our growth and development.
They're looking forward to the day we can join the universal
community and help with their project in a way that's unique to
us.

This is the end of a today's post. I will see to it that all my posts are short and crisp. And posting shall be very regular. Hope you enjoyed. Till next time, ciao.

The Antichrist ; Satan and Nostradamus

2006-07-30T04:54:00.000Z

Friends, today I am going to talk about the antichrist. For many people who have come to read by blog lately have expressed a desire to know exactly who or what is the antichrist. After all, the antichrist is so overwhelmingly mentioned in the predictions of Nostradamus for the near future; that it would be natural to ask. So here my friends, I am going to give you some clues, beliefs and ideas on who or what is the antichrist, before we continue with the predictions of Nostradamus.
One peice of advice before that...if you are new, please start reading this blog from my second post titled "The Predictions of Nostradamus", because all posts after that continue with those predictions, by Nostradamus...

In Christian eschatology and Islam, the Antichrist, Anti-christ or Dajjal (literally: anti, opposite; christ, Jesus) has come to mean a person, image of a person, or other entity that is the embodiment of evil and utterly opposed to truth, according to Christianity, while convincingly disguised as wholly good and a bringer of truth.

The words "Antichrist" and "Antichrists" appear only five times in the Bible - in two of the Apostle John's three letters in the New Testament, 1 John and 2 John:

Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.}} (1 John 2:22, ESV)

Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.}} (1 John 2:18, ESV)

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.}} (1 John 4:3, ESV)

Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.}} (2 John 1:7, ESV.)

In these contexts, "Antichrist" seems to describe any false teacher, false prophet or corrupter of the Christian faith, but sometimes also seems to indicate a specific person or single spirit of deception that motivates false teaching and whose presence is a sign of the end times. However, in popular understanding, many Christians identify this particular Antichrist with the "man of sin" or "son of perdition" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2, and with several figures in the Book of Revelation including the Dragon, the Beast, the False Prophet, and the Whore of Babylon. The Antichrist is variously understood to be a group or organization, such as a consummately evil system of government or a false religion, or more commonly as an individual, such as an evil government leader, a religious leader who sets up false worship in place of the worship of Christ, the incarnation of Satan, a son of Satan, or a human being under the dominion of Satan.

The expected role of the Antichrist

Christian denominations disagree on what will happen in the end times, and the role that Satan and the Antichrist will play. Among those who believe that the Antichrists of whom John was writing are instead a single individual and expect this one to arise in the future, there is a general consensus that sometime prior to the expected return of Jesus, there will be a period of "trials and tribulations" during which the Antichrist, inspired by Satan, will attempt to win supporters with great works, and will silence anyone or make enemies of any country that refuses their allegiance (by refusing to "receive his mark" on their foreheads or right hands). This "mark" is expected to be required to legally partake in commerce, as noted in the book of Revelation. Some Christians believe that the Antichrist will be assassinated half way through the Tribulation, being revived and indwelt by Satan. The Antichrist will continue on for three and a half years following this.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://not-a-real-namespace/http://polls.blogflux.com/poll-3815.html"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Take the poll&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://not-a-real-namespace/http://polls.blogflux.com/"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Free Poll by Blog Flux&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp

In the next post we shall consider the characteristics and identity of the Antichrist; for now we continue with the predictions of Nostradamus:

Crazed leader launches atom bombs on
Mediterranean and Europe
(Centurie II, Quatrain 3)
During continuing unrest in the Middle East, one of the leaders
will be able to get a hold of an atom bomb. He will be crazy and
go to the greatest lengths over the smallest thing and will not
hesitate to use the weapon because his obsessions with deadly
warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear
weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the
land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region
will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast of the
Mediterranean will be desperate for food and will eat the fish
anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean
in a region of dark-colored cliffs.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 4)
The atomic weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern
countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war.
European and Western nations will try to interfere to diminish
the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to
interfere, the crazed leader who earlier dropped the atomic bomb
will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the closer
southern part.
The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and
France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt.
This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the
Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition. The
Antichrist will wield great power and authority; no one can argue
with him.

Third world country leader creates strife
(Centurie III, Quatrain 60)
A "young dark man" will arise as a leader in a Third World
country; his main goal is to unite the other Third World countries
to do battle with the superpowers. The area of conflict will be in
Eastern Europe and the Middle East, particularly around the
Adriatic and the Caspian seas and the eastern Mediterranean. No
definite winner will emerge but the strife will help set the stage
for the Antichrist. Some prophecies in the Bible refer to events in
this region (Israel will be involved).

Antichrist profits from radar research in Europe
(Centurie I, Quatrain 6)
Research on a more sophisticated type of radar and sensing
devices will give greater information to the operator, i.e. an
airplane pilot. But the first experiments with the technology will
fail in a disastrous accident, when the "sympathetic vibrations"
emitted by the device cause the chassis of the plane to become
weakened and dangerous due to dissolved bonds of the
molecules in the metal. The scientists involved with the research
will have to temporarily abandon the research because of
diplomatic breakdowns, the threat of war, etc.
This will take place before the Antichrist comes to full power. It
will happen in Europe at the time the Antichrist is strengthening
his base of power in the Middle East. The devices are currently
under development but have not been tested yet. But this is
another historical event that will permit the Antichrist to take
over Europe.

War game simulation by Britain in Europe leads to
disaster
(Centurie II, Quatrain 2)
In a war-game maneuver involving Great Britain and European
troops a malfunctioning circuit in a computer will cause the
"real-world" situation to play out instead of the simulation. The
teams are labeled "white" and "blue". As a result of the error
actual defenses will be activated and real bombs will be dropped
on the areas of the game and cause a tragic international incident.

American Electoral College voting stalemate
(Centurie VII, Quatrain 41)
The presidents of the U.S., a supposedly free country, have been
abusing their power to an increasingly greater extent. During a
time of social unrest even more so than the period of Viet Nam
and Watergate, the Electoral College will be evenly split over the
election of the new president. The process will stalemate, with
many people clamoring for whichever candidate they voted for,
causing enormous tension in the country. Internationally it will
be a sensitive situation.
Because of the split, and the extremely volatile and explosive
social unrest, putting either candidate in office instead of the
other could start a civil war or a revolution. After a long time of
impassioned speeches invoking patriotism and the founding
fathers, a compromise solution of holding another election will
be taken, and a candidate will be installed without disaster.

Luck and the Seer

2006-07-25T10:26:00.000Z

Konnichawa (thats the Japanese for hello)! Friends have u ever wondered what is luck? Good luck , bad luck....Are some of us just plain lucky, and others unlucky...?

There is a series of spiritual, or supernatural beliefs regarding fortune. These beliefs vary widely from one to another, but most agree that luck can be influenced through spiritual means by performing certain rituals or by avoiding certain circumstances.

One such activity is Prayer, a religious practice in which this belief is particularly strong. Many cultures and religions worldwide place a strong emphasis on a person's ability to influence their fortune by ritualistic means, sometimes involving sacrifice, omens or spells. Others associate luck with a strong sense of superstition, that is, a belief that certain taboo or blessed actions will influence how fortune favors them for the future.

Carl Jung described syncronicity: the "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events". He described coincidences as an effect of a collective unconscious.

Some encourage the belief in luck as a false idea, but which may spawn positive thinking, and alter ones responses for the better. Others like Jean Paul Sartre and Sigmund Freud, feel a belief in luck has more to do with a locus of control for events in one's life, and the subsequent escape from personal responsibility. According to this theory, one who ascribes their travails to "bad luck" will be found upon close examination to be living risky lifestyles. On the other hand, people who consider themselves "lucky" in having good health may be actually reaping the benefits of a cheerful outlook and satisfying social relationships, both of which are well known statistically to be protective against many stress-related diseases. If "good" and "bad" events occur at random to everyone, believers in good luck will experience a net gain in their fortunes, and vice versa for believers in bad luck. This is clearly likely to be self-reinforcing. Thus, although untrue, a belief in good luck may actually be an adaptive meme.
And now friends we shall continue with the prophecies the great soul:

International (non) reaction to the Antichrist
(Centurie II, Quatrain 96)
Diplomatic foul-ups in other countries will permit the Antichrist
to attain greater power. In the beginning, when he does not have
a broad base of power but is building on it, those in power
elsewhere who can do something about it will hesitate until it is
too late. Even though people realize he wields great power "from
the dark side", his demonic hatred and magnetism will enhance
the fatal attraction. He will advance his campaign by invading
and conquering neighboring countries, particularly because of
the political turmoil and instability of the realm. Eventually he
will subdue the entire Asian continent under his rule. The
Antichrist will be in this period of increasing his power during
the visit of the comet visible from the Northern hemisphere in
about 7.

(Centurie I, Quatrain 37)
The U.S. will vacillate in dissension during the conquests of the
Antichrist. Its power, influence, and "can do" capabilities will
have diminished in the international arena at the time. The
populace will argue over involvement vs. noninvolvement.
Shipping will be very dangerous because of submarine warfare
practiced by the Antichrist. Enemy soldiers in foreign ports will
foul up sea-based commerce. Many decisive battles in his wars
will involve seaports. Many people will die far away from home
in the war.

(Centurie III, Quatrain 7)
The various weaker countries threatened by the Antichrist's
imperialism will call on stronger ones for help, like the U.S.
which will initially be neutral and uncommitted. The Antichrist
will be attempting to take over part of the world using aerial
warfare. In one battle in the night a squadron of unmarked planes
will rebuff his advance, sent secretly by the U.S.

(Centurie V, Quatrain 86)
Responsive, proactive countermeasures could have prevented the
destruction caused by the Antichrist but the political and
diplomatic strife among the Western powers will have failed to
have "nipped the situation in the bud". England and the U.S. will
have enough military power to confront the Antichrist but
because of lack of consensus neither will act quickly. A newly
established alliance between the two is only in its infancy at the
time, and the powers have not established the authority of overall
decision-making in time. Also, a breakdown in communications
and transportation will cause important political analysts to be
cut off from advising the leaders. Meanwhile the Antichrist will
be making conquests in leaps and bounds.

Prelude to the Antichrist and WWWIII:

Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts,
famines, rioting
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 67)
A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and
coincide with the time of great geological troubles, with
earthquakes and volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather
systems. This will cause widespread famines and droughts, and
social upheavals in unexpected places. Nations that are
considered prosperous and powerful, particularly western nations
will be weakened. They will be torn with civil strife and rioting
as people migrate to areas that have water and can support cropgrowing.
The social upheaval and weakening of political
structures will help the Antichrist come to power.

(Centurie VIII, Quatrain 29)
A great and rich power will be subject to serious natural
disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and rend the
nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and
misery. The wealthy power will be bankrupted attempting to deal
with its disasters. Three other great nations will send aid to help
the citizens survive.
Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive
for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in
the Near East, particularly around the eastern end of the
Mediterranean, there'll be severe floods. As a result of the
disruption to local governments by the natural disasters, the
Antichrist will move his troops in under the disguise of helping
the people restore civil order, but really use this as a device to
take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.
Serious economic problems will persist along with great social
unrest, contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can
seize power. The frightened and hopeful populace will be
vulnerable to his demagoguery. The Antichrist will use the
disasters as opportunities to overthrow governments and sneak
spies into a country. Martial law will be declared in many areas
to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East, the source of his
power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the world. He
offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he will
eventually stab them in the back.

Death of world leader and revolt coincides with
comet
(Centurie II, Quatrain 62)
The death of a world leader will coincide with the appearance of
a comet. The comet will be clearly visible where the leader dies.
The country is in the Middle East. The death of the leader and
widespread crop failures and hunger in that year will provoke a
revolt. It will start when the comet is visible but will continue for
five hundred days. Also, a hundred people will contribute to the
revolt in such a way that it will break forth and become open
enough and wide-spread enough to capture the world's attention.

Fiasco from communication breakdown between
two superpowers
(Centurie II, Quatrain 48)
Through a mistake by a leader an international incident will
occur. The main problem will be a breakdown in
communications between the two powers involved. The situation
is a lot more complex than will appear on the surface. The chief,
the leader involved, will feel great regret about what happened
and will want to continue his career and help correct the
situation, to help make up for the adverse affects of it.
But he will be hung, symbolically, by others wishing to take his
position in the organization. He will be hung so far as politics
and his career are concerned. It will almost be like committing
suicide because in the end he will be a broken man and not be
able to do anything about the situation. The entire event will be
viewed as a fiasco from both sides. It will have very harmful and
even cataclysmic consequences.
The situation develops when an enemy or one who is against the
U.S. will take advantage of the incident in an unethical way, by
sending a horde of agents working for their side into this area.
The world will be outraged by the action.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 35)
A breakdown in communications between the US and Russia
will result in a misunderstanding and deep resentments between
the Kremlin and the White House. Some will risk their careers to
try to tame the situation but will be silenced, and "burned" such
as by demotions to obscure positions.

Russian/American submarine/naval confrontation
(Centurie II, Quatrain 48)
In the southwest quadrant of the Atlantic Ocean, missiles will
splash into the ocean near a partially submerged ship and a
submarine. The submarine commander is antsy to engage fire.
An American surface ship will be in danger. The Russian
commander of the sub will have secret orders the rest of the crew
is not aware of, which are to antagonize and provoke. He gets
carried away.
The American commander has been ordered to defend the coast
of the US but to avoid starting a war. In the process of defending
his ship from the submarine, he strikes the submarine and feels
he may have sunk it, and agonizes that the action would be
interpreted as starting a war and not an act of defense. The event
will lead to the time of troubles and will have large historical
significance when seen in retrospect.
Crazed leader launches atom bombs on
Mediterranean and Europe

(Centurie II, Quatrain 3)
During continuing unrest in the Middle East, one of the leaders
will be able to get a hold of an atom bomb. He will be crazy and
go to the greatest lengths over the smallest thing and will not
hesitate to use the weapon because his obsessions with deadly
warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear
weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the
land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region
will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast of the
Mediterranean will be desperate for food and will eat the fish
anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean
in a region of dark-colored cliffs.

(Centurie II, Quatrain 4)
The atomic weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern
countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war.
European and Western nations will try to interfere to diminish
the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to
interfere, the crazed leader who earlier dropped the atomic bomb
will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the closer
southern part.
The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and
France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt.
This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the
Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition. The
Antichrist will wield great power and authority; no one can argue
with him.

Cartomancy, Cheiromancy and Nostradamus...

2006-07-21T19:52:00.000Z

Greetings sire/madame! Welcome to my humble abode of spirituality, the occult and the supernatural wonders. Here we discuss all this and more...
Do you folks have any idea what cartomancy or cheromancy are?No...? Well here you go then:
Cartomancy is a form of fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. The practice of cartomancy has been observed since playing cards first came into use in Europe in the 14th century. Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as cartomancers, card readers or, simply, readers. Some practitioners have claimed that cartomancy's origins date back to ancient Egyptian times, the art being derived from wisdom given to the ancient Egyptians by the scribe-god Thoth, although this belief is by no means common today.

Chiromancy or cheiromancy, (Greek cheir, “hand”; manteia, “divination”), is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palmistry, palm-reading, chirology or hand analysis. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations. Those who practise chiromancy are generally called chiromancers, palmists, palm readers or chirologists.
And now we continue with the prophecies of Nostradamus:

Antichrist's ravage of the Catholic Church
(Centurie V, Quatrain 43)
In addition to the cultural destruction of European cultural
centers, the Antichrist will ransack the Vatican library with the
intent of ultimately destroying it. He will do this to undermine
the authority of the Vatican and break up the power fragments
that remain. One way he will do this is by revealing important,
controversial material hidden in the Vatican library that the
Catholic Church will be seen to have suppressed because of the
threat to its authority. This will cause major schisms in the
church as priests and students turn against each other in their
theories and interpretations of the new material. The confusion
and chaos will remove the Catholic Church as an obstacle to the
Antichrist's plans.
(Centurie I, Quatrain 62)
The ransacking of the Vatican library by the Antichrist will bring
to light and open to the world information, facts, and knowledge
that had been suppressed for several centuries. Even though he
uses violence, the Antichrist will actually be burning off his
karma because of the positive effects of the release, starting a
new cycle, higher cycle of his karma.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 12)
The people involved with the Catholic church, particularly the
priests, will cling to the old order even though it is not viable and dead as far as working within the reality of the changed times.
The Antichrist and the last pope will be "robbing blind" the
Church. The Antichrist will desecrate and raid the Vatican
library and cart away the treasures of the church to help fund his
armies. The Catholic Church will become totally superfluous,
and contribute to its own demise.

Manipulation of the IRA in Ireland by the
underworld
(Centurie VI, Quatrain 62)
Members of the underworld will send faulty arms and drugs to
fighters in Ireland. The British and the IRA both believe they are
fighting for the good of the country but at the last minute realize
they have been destroying it. At the last minute they will try to
compromise but will be foiled by the manipulations of the
underworld conspirators who are playing each side against the
other. The underworld elements are spread in many areas but the
arms and drugs will be shipped from Monaco.

Antichrist's invasion of Turkey
(Centurie V, Quatrain 25)
When the Catholic Church in Rome is finally destroyed in a
devastating but mysterious "Act of Nature", people will be
distracted from noticing the more important event of the time, the
Antichrist invading Turkey.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 29,V-54)
After the destruction in Italy wrought by the Antichrist, he will
go over the mountains through France via airplane. He will
attack Europe from the south because he will have the solid
backing of the Islamic world and will already have bloodily
subjugated North Africa and the Middle East. He will set up
regional headquarters in Turkey, and other outposts, to rule and advance further conquests.

Dreams and Prophecies...

2006-07-20T05:42:00.000Z

Namaste!...friends I am delighted because my blog is becoming popular, and so I have adverts on my blog now...if you look carefully you will find them. Today we'l talk a bit on dream interpretation. Did u know that dream interpretation is not just about predicting what's in store for you but is also an indicator of your personality!!
For example, if u dream that ur standing naked in a public place, all mortified...it is often a reflection of your vulnerability or shamefulness. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can nevertheless see right through you.Nudity also symbolizes being caught off guard. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom, suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. You may be uninformed in making a well-formed decision. With all eyes on you, you have this fear of having some deed brought to public attention. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony.

On the other hand, if you are flying with ease and enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power. And now we continue with the predictions and prophecies of Nostradamus:

Antichrists' unified monetary system
(Centurie I, Quatrain 40)
The Antichrist will start uniting the monetary systems of his
region to help merge them into a single political entity. His
ambition to rule the world will be advanced by instituting a
single currency with others going defunct. There will be a resistance to this, particularly by a popular, charismatic leader
from Egypt, demanding the edict and law be withdrawn that
requires the Arab nations give up their currencies and be
submissive to the unified political conglomerate.

Antichrist's seizure of Asia
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 50)
The Antichrist will take over Asia by appointing sub
commanders to rule vast tracts of land for him. But their ties to
him will be masked and the world will not realize they are
merely puppets until a succession of them are installed in the
place of predecessors. At first the U.S. will not interfere because
it is thought the government was freely chosen by the people, but
only later realize the leaders were forced on the populace as
mouthpieces and tools for the Antichrist.
(Centurie III, Quatrain 95)
Russia will be his first major Asian conquest and he will do it not
through force but through guile and his compelling
persuasiveness. He will trick the Russians to come under his
power and there will be nothing they can do about it. They will
think they are acting in their own best interests. The Middle East
will be mostly under his control before he turns to Russia. Then
he turns to China and the rest of the Asian continent, to build a
position to take over the entire world. He will not trick the
Chinese but will some other method.

Antichrist's cultural eradication & European
campaign
(Centurie II, Quatrain 15)
When the second pope is assassinated, the Antichrist will begin
his European campaign. The Prime Minister of Britain and the
U.S. President will go into consultation over the matter. They
will meet at sea like Churchill and Roosevelt did for better
security and secrecy of the meetings.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 81)
During the use of his weapons and the ravages of war, one of the
devastatingly effective plans of attack by the Antichrist is to
threaten the destruction of the victim's cultural centers, not so
much physical destruction of the populace. Because the
population attributes great value to places and artifacts with large
historical and cultural significance, the terrorist-extortionist
technique will be very powerful in striking fear into his foe and
"bringing them to their knees".
To put Europe into an initial shock, he will begin to smash and
destroy the city of Rome to rubble via aerial bombing raids. It
will be destroyed to such an extent that the "seven hills of Rome"
will be leveled. Rome will be so annihilated as to be threatened
by an encroachment from the sea, destroying all that is left.
He will also threaten the cultural centers of Greece and the great
Greek cultural centers of learning, including Athens. Most
cultural treasures and major metropolitan centers of the entire
peninsula will be destroyed. The world leaders will be
momentarily shocked and paralyzed by his barbarity. In the
presence of their indecisiveness and absence of their action he
will make great strides in taking over territory and governments.
The Antichrist will continually use shocking and unprecedented
moves like these to advance his domination throughout the entire
WWWIII.
The eradication of cultural treasures also fits in with the
Antichrist's ulterior motive of wiping out the established culture
to supplant it with his own, like the Moors attempted when they
invaded Spain, except in his case on the level of an entire
continent.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 84)
Drought and weather changes will take place during the time of
troubles. The Antichrist will take over Italy and Greece by
destroying the cultural centers to devastate morale of the
subjugated citizens.

Ogmios
Ogmios is the counterforce to the Antichrist who will help tear
down the tyranny and balance the universe in a way that is
harmonious to man's central spiritual source. He will be
supported by many countries still fighting the Antichrist. He will
probably arise from the underground movement. In one of the
countries conquered by the Antichrist the underground will be
tightly organized. Ogmios will arise from it, and confront the
Antichrist in the area in Eurasia close to Constantinople, as
WWWIII is approaching its end. Ogmios wil come from
somewhere in central Europe. He is very well prepared
spiritually for the task, because his opponent is very powerful
with a strong aura of negative powers.
Ogmios will be "of the people". He will have worked up through
the ranks from a simple background, attaining his
accomplishments through honest work. He will have technical
training but will rely mainly on his practicality. He's an old soul
who has his priorities straight and can see the root of matters. He
is one who will help pave the way for the "Great Genius".
Ogmios realizes he is not the one to lead the world to ultimate
peace, but he is the one to help bring down "the one who would
destroy the world" (the Antichrist) to open the way for the one
who will guide the world to ultimate peace.

Clairvoyance, Clairaudiences....and the true seer

2006-07-18T13:15:00.000Z

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Psychic, Tarot, Animal Communications, Astrology, Numerology, Spirit Guides, Dream Interpretation, Crystals ...

ooomph! So much of occult and undefined processes based on the power of the subsconscious and the cosmic energies that surround us all the time.And yet, people rarely have time for these ancient arts, which are truly a treasure trove of ancient wisdom. For the uninitiated, here's a definition of clairvoyance, which is also very much related to clairaudience:

Clairvoyance is defined as a form of extra-sensory perception that it is claimed allows a person to perceive distant objects, persons, or events, including "seeing" through opaque objects and the detection of types of energy not normally perceptible to humans (i.e. radio waves). Typically, such perception is reported in visual terms, but may also include auditory impressions (sometimes called clairaudience) or kinesthetic impressions.

The rest of the terms, I am sure you are aware of. So now its time for the true seer to display his cards...Here is a continuation of the predictions and prophecies of Nostradamus:

Fundamentalist fanatics' infiltrations into
governments
(Centurie I-40)
Powerful men involved with fundamentalist religion and politics,
shrewd in manipulation, propaganda, and in distorting the word
of God for their own ends will band together to obtain *key*
posts in the government. The posts are not necessarily splashy or
public but are critical points in the power flow where they can
exert their influence to subtly affect world events in their favor.
Leaders in the Middle East will become aware and alarmed by
their encroachments and will change their laws, making it more
difficult for Americans to travel in this area. It will affect
American money, currencies, and trade with the U.S. The
Antichrist, in the midst of building a power base, will be
influenced by these actions, in a way that will be harmful to the Christian cause later. The religious fundamentalists will cause
their own undoing in this way.

Wealthy U.S. businessman a closet revolutionary
and Nazi
(Centurie V, Quatrain 75)
A very wealthy and famous businessman in the U.S. will be
secretly involved with the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux
Klan in the south. The man's sole ambition in life is to overthrow
the American government as it is presently constituted. The man
will be involved with politics but will stay low-key, spinning
webs of power and expanding his influence behind the scenes.
This groundwork will prove useful for the Antichrist later on.
The man will have a puppet, a figurehead, but he will pull the
strings. The link will not be known until the time of the
Antichrist.

Fundamentalist censorship
(Centurie II, Quatrain 85)
A distortion in religious values will plague the populace during
the times of troubles. Fundamentalist religion and its fanatics
will be like an old man holding a thick oaken stick over his
followers, to make sure they don't step out of line. This is
opposed to spirit of honor, valor, loyalty to one's country, and all
the other virtues. The fundamentalists will be both Christian and
Moslem.
(Centurie I, Quatrain 62)
During the time of troubles and massive earth upheavals, the
countries that harbor fundamentalist religions and philosophies
will become very powerful, claiming to offer the true comfort
and path for the populace in need. The fundamentalist groups
will suppress learning and education and censor books.

Terrorist assassinations
(Centurie IX, Quatrain 36)
The final pope is captured into the influence of the Antichrist
during a period of great civil unrest, war, and desolation, and
many other horrible events. History will be seen as a series of
catastrophic events, each topping the ones before, leading up to
the time of troubles.
During the time of troubles the assassination of world leaders
will become extremely common, so much that the population
will not even keep track of who is the current leader, thinking it a
futile exercise because they are assassinated so frequently. With
the warfare going on, a great danger will exist to anyone who has
ambitions for leadership, except for the Antichrist, who will be
actually orchestrating most of the assassinations himself.

Antichrist's rise to power in Middle East
(Centurie III, Quatrain 34)
The Antichrist will spend many years working silently behind the
scenes to consolidate his power, and make his appearance onto
the international arena once the structure is in place. He will have
planned carefully and the countries he goes against will be
unprepared for his golden-tongued treachery.
(Centurie VIII, Quatrain 77)
The Antichrist is the power behind the scenes, pulling the strings,
and has not yet made his move to reveal himself. He is like a
spider waiting for his time, taking advantage of the world
situation to make his move.
When his time comes he will take advantage of the political
situation in a country to rise to power. It will not matter that he is
not a native of the country. He will take advantage of loopholes
and contrive positions. He may aggressively and audaciously
seize a position in a military organization after his uncle dies, for
example.
(Centurie I, Quatrain 34)
The Antichrist will foment rebellions within the countries he's
aiming to take over. He will allow the various political splinter
groups to believe he supports their cause, when he is actually
playing them against each other. The countries will turn in on
themselves, weakening them for his outside conquest.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 23)
The Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to
trick the Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and
sycophants of the Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first
drive away internal supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil
war. Then he will put forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians
loyal to the Ayatollah to concentrate their hate on. The man will
be assassinated while Iran is being taken over, and his opponents
will think they have foiled the overthrow of power by
assassinating him. But they will find out later he was merely a
decoy and that they played into the plans of the Antichrist.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 81)
The Antichrist will initially obtain power in his own sphere,
Asia, and the Middle East. As he grows out of this arena, i.e. into
Europe, the next step will be into the Mediterranean, approaching
from the south, his area of strength. Because of his Middle
Eastern heritage he will have already united North Africans, who
are sympathetic to his cultural background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.

that's it for the day...the rest for next time...ciao!

Prophecies of the Great Seer

2006-07-16T22:13:00.000Z

"There's No Such Thing As Magic!"

retorts Uncle Vernon to Harry when he gets a letter of admission from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, magic exists or not, I dont really know...But the Supernatural, the Occult, Spirits and Ghosts.... they do exist.You can feel them around at germane places.

Anyway I wont say more on the topic right now because I dont want to scare you guys away from my page. I can say with firm conviction though, that astrology, numerology, palmistry, tarot cards etc really work in predicting the future of an individual or an entity (if done in the right way and by the right person of course)...having experienced the truth of them all myself!!Your Horoscope, made at the time of your birth, is the main indicator of the pre-determined fate that you have brought along in this world. The rest as they say, depends on your karma. I am not too sure about crystal ball gazing though...:-)
Well as I promised in my previous post, we're going to continue with the prophecies of Nostradamus for the near future...

(Centurie II, Quatrain 15)
The present pope will be assassinated shortly prior to the
appearance of a comet that will be clearly visible from the sky of
the Northern Hemisphere. His concern for the human condition,
leading him to treacherous travel arrangements, wil be his
downfall. The next pope will be assassinated by the Antichrist
because he won't submit to his demands. The assassination
allows the Antichrist to install his "tool" into the office.

Second-to-last pope "swallowed" by Antichrist's
scheming
(Centurie I, Quatrain 4)
The second-to-last pope instated after the assassination of the
current one will have a short reign. Due to political blunders and
mistakes he will pave the way for the final pope to be a tool of
the Antichrist. His reign is an omen of the final downfall of the
church.
Before the Antichrist comes to full power it will appear that other
leaders are above him and in control of the power structure other
than him. In reality the Antichrist is using them as stepping
stones in his quest for world power. During this period he will
have traitorous cardinal working for him, spying on the secondto-
last pope. One of the cardinals will steal information from him
and alter the pope's personal correspondence, so that it has
different connotations. It will make the situation appear
inordinately worse than it is in reality, causing the pope to react
inappropriately. This way the populace will be more likely to see him as incompetent and destabilize his authority, possibly by
being assassinated. The cardinal will be troubled by his betrayal
because of the obvious dissension it causes the Church, but he is
allied with the Antichrist and will rationalize away his
backstabbing.

The treachery of the final pope
(Centurie III, Quatrain 65)
The last pope will be elected shortly after the discovery of the
tomb of an ancient Roman whose philosophies greatly influence
western thought, something like within a year's time. This is the
"poisonous" pope that is actually only a tool for the Antichrist
who will bring about the ultimate destruction of the Catholic
Church.
The last pope will probably be French, with a swarthy
complexion and blue eyes. There will be an air of mystery to
him. He will have a physical deformity of some sort, like a
slightly hunched shoulder or clubfoot, a congenital defect in the
bone (It won't be caused by injury, he was born with it.) His
mind has been scarred by the deformity and the cruelty and
callousness of people toward others who are different.
He entered the church at a young age out of bitterness and
desperation because he knew he would never get a girl to love
and marry him. His parents were involved with the Nazi
movement in France and his schoolmates taunted him with
names like "Nazi lover". This pope could have been kindly if it
weren't for his childhood environment and experiences, but
instead was warped into cruelty from pain, and he wants to "get
back" at the world for his suffering while young. This is a
weakness that the Antichrist exploits.
This pope will want to show his enemies, "look at me; I'm
powerful; I can do it; I'm better than you." After he attains the power he desires, he will be indirectly responsible for the murder
of innocent people because of his alignment with the Antichrist.
He will not murder anyone himself, but will open up avenues for
the Antichrist to do so, particularly those who hurt him when he
was young. This future pope now appears to be kindly on the
surface because it is advantageous for him to be perceived that
way, but the sinister side of his personality is deeply rooted.
(Centurie II, Quatrain 76)
The final pope will betray his Church by revealing extremely
crucial and sensitive information directly to the Antichrist,
information that the Antichrist could never have obtained even
through his spies in the church.

Demise of the Catholic Church
(Centurie X, Quatrain 70)
Ruin will befall the Catholic Church because of its leaders'
ambition for illegitimate power. The leaders will become
vainglorious and think that they can handle whatever they desire
to grasp, and it will be their downfall. Their ambitions will be
chilled when they fail and the church will be subject to great
upheaval, with the Pope ultimately being dethroned. Catholics
will become disillusioned with the power mongering, will no
longer support the church, and the sphere of influence of the
Church will greatly diminish.
(Centurie V, Quatrain 25)
The base of the Catholic Church in Rome will be destroyed in an
accident, as if the city sank into the sea. This will somewhat
coincide with events in the Middle east and some people will
connect the two, but in reality it is a coincidence. However the
Arabs will quickly take advantage of the situation even though
they didn't cause it. The restrictions of the Vatican will cause the
church to crumble. They may rally, but it will be a blow they will
never recover from.
The downfall will reveal why the church finally collapsed after
surviving so many centuries. The accident will be a combination
of natural and human-triggered disasters. The force will involve
the sea and a great energy force from the sky descending and
dissolving the landscape. It will be termed a natural disaster
because it's beyond the capability of anyone on the earth to
produce the force. No one can find any cause so it is labeled an
"Act of Nature". However, the more important event of the time,
which people will be distracted from noticing, is the Antichrist's
invasion of Turkey.

Enough for today my friends, to be continued in my next post...till then, ciao!

The Predictions of Nostradamus

2006-07-15T23:43:00.000Z

Gosh...It has been just one and a half days and I have been inundated with mails by friends asking me if the predictions of the great soul (Nostradamus) are true or not? Though I am still awaiting a comment on my blog (which unfortunately can only be done by a Blogger member!), i would nevertheless like to respond.
My dear friends, I have not been fooling around...I think it is time for me to display to you in my subsequent blogs the full prophecies of Nostradamus regarding the near future, as that may appear more pellucid and candid that way. I think it will take about 5 or 6 blog posts from me to give you people a good idea of what's in store. I could give all of it at once but it would spoil the element of suspense that could be created.
Well here goes...your dose for today:

2.1. Background/overview of the Antichrist
(Centurie I, Quatrain 76)

The Antichrist made a promise to himself to rule the world in a
past incarnation and the wheel of karma has turned to give him
the opportunity in this lifetime. His potential and opportunities
for evil will be counterbalanced by the ability to do well. In early
0s he is beginning the realization of his ambitions, and will start
his political career at a local level and keep advancing, becoming
ever greedier of power.
The Antichrist will become a world leader even though he
misuses his power. The root meanings of his names will give a
clue of his destiny and what he is capable of. The name may
sound somewhat barbaric to European ears. He will be
influenced by old customs known in the literature but generally
forgotten.
The Antichrist will be worse than Hitler. In ~9 he's living in the
Middle East. He is at a very crucial time in his life, when
impressions will influence his future life path. Currently in the
realm there is a lot of violence, political maneuvering, and
corruption. The atmosphere is having an effect an effect on him
and he's coming to realize what his destiny is.
Neither Kadaffi or the Ayatollah Khomeni are the Antichrist, but
they will contribute to the destabilization of the region that will
aid his rise to power.
He will be educated in Egypt because of its current stability and
strategic position to the Middle East and North Africa.
The social upheavals of the times will contribute to laying the
way open for the Antichrist to take over. Various countries will
have their social and political structure will be turned totally
upside down. Religious fanatics (not spiritual people) will come
into power and believe they are justified in their draconian
campaigns. The religious fervor allows the Antichrist to come
into power through persuasive guile. His followers will regard
him as a religious figure.
(Centurie I, Quatrain 80)
The Antichrist will take Thursday as his day of reverence. There
will be enormous warfare and bloodshed from his weapons, one
"a monster borne of a very hideous beast". Hard radiation will
cause gross deformities, terrible mutations in nature, in plants
and animals as well as Mother Earth. In the period 7 or 1 there
will be great pain and despair.
2.4. Death of the three popes / Catholic Church & the
Antichrist
(Centurie IV, Quatrain 86)
The present pope will be assassinated and the next pope will not
last long. The final pope will be a tool of the Antichrist. The
Roman church is already a tool of the Antichrist, indirectly
supporting his aims, even though they may not be aware of it.
The last three popes of the Catholic Church will fall in short
succession. The third to the last will die from an assassin's
shooting. The second-to-last will be "swallowed up" by the
schemings of the Antichrist. The last, the one born slightly
misshapen, will go the greatest distance in destroying the church.
The Antichrist will use him for awhile until he gets in the way, at
which point he is eliminated. His treachery will accelerate, and
his death will signal, the end of the Catholic Church.
2.5. Assassination of the current pope
(Centurie VIII, Quatrain 46)
During the period that the Antichrist begins to flex his power, the
current pope will be assassinated when he goes on a trip away
from the Vatican. The two cardinals nearest to the pope will
realize the danger to their church after the death, and they will
close themselves up in the Vatican to try to protect themselves.
The current Pope is desirous of world peace and is working
against some established power parties within the Roman church.
A point will come when the special interests inside the church
who want to hold onto their power and wealth will misadvise the
Pope in such a way as to place him in a dangerous situation
which he is unaware of. The assassination will lead to social
unrest and rioting in Rome. The next pope will not last long.
There will be only two other popes after the present one.
The pope and several of his entourage will be assassinated in late
spring when the roses bloom, at a European city that is at the
junction of two major rivers.

The truth may be bitter...

2006-07-14T23:21:00.000Z

Greetings to all thou tecno geeks and so called netizens out there. Be forewarned!
For thou have offended thee by getting more and more materialistic, forgetting human values and virtues, and fighting with your fellow men over trivial matters.

The future in the eyes of thee looks bleak for the world, for man seems to have planted the seeds of his destruction all by himself, providing an irresistable magnet for the devil to re-incarnate himself in his strongest avataar ever! Thou might find my post questionable, contempible or even blasphemous, but try to understand me; for I am thine! Concerned at the direction the world is going to, I have decided to come into the empty battlefield, and forewarn thou before you jump into the same and kill each other.

With the deteiorating conditions created by mankind on the planet today, it is not at all difficult to predict the sorry state of affairs in the near future..or shall I say, in the very near future. For I am not just making hay while the sun shines, nor am I shooting an arrow in the air...
I am aided in my prediction by the great soul called NOSTRADAMUS. You poor souls, just check out the latest book or ebook of predictions of the great soul and find out for yourselves what lies in store for the present world from the autumn of 2006 to the spring of 2020!! I am going to reveal to you only 3 of his predictions...

The present head of the Vatican;Pope Benedict, shall be assasinated this year, i.e. 2006.
World War-3 is not too far, it may be triggered by 2008 and cause the most terrible destruction ever witnessed by mankind.
During the course of WW-III, the Vatican Church shall be attacked, and some great secrets will tumble out of its closet which will destroy the faith.

Of course, if the first prediction mantioned here comes true (and it is supposed to happen pretty soon!), then it will not be difficult to fathom that most of the predictions of Nostradamus shall come true...and behold, a terrible situation shall await us! Though there is still hope, and there is a way...
