Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek) By David Cain / raptitude.com/ Oct 23, 2013 Well I’m in the working world again. I’ve found myself a well-paying gig in the engineering industry, and life finally feels like it’s returning to normal after my nine months of traveling. Because I had been living quite a different lifestyle while I was away, this sudden transition to 9-to-5 existence has exposed something about it that I overlooked before. Since the moment I was offered the job, I’ve been markedly more careless with my money. I’m not talking about big, extravagant purchases. In hindsight I think I’ve always done this when I’ve been well-employed — spending happily during the “flush times.” I suppose I do it because I feel I’ve regained a certain stature, now that I am again an amply-paid professional, which seems to entitle me to a certain level of wastefulness. What I’m doing isn’t unusual at all. It seems I got much more for my dollar when I was traveling. A Culture of Unnecessaries You may have heard of Parkinson’s Law.
11:11 – HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING THESE NUMBERS EVERYWHERE? If you’ve ever wondered about the significance of these number sequences, you’re not alone. Many people have asked us about their meaning during our angel workshops. So, we went to the Source and asked for guidance to interpret the meanings of repetitive number sequences. As a longtime student of Pythagorean sacred numerology (including a past life as his student) and also an angel channeler, I rapidly received information as to what the angels were conveying through these sequences. Below is a sampling of some number sequences your angels may show to you. “You have guardian angels with you right now — continuously — guaranteed! Doreen’s Angel Numbers 111 – Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don’t want. 123 — Simplify your life. 222 — Have faith. 333 — The Ascended Masters are near you, desiring you to know that you have their help, love and companionship. 555 — Buckle your seatbelts. 999 — Get to work, Lightworker!
How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One By Katrin Geist Guest Writer for Wake Up World Breaking the habit of being yourself requires – dare I say it? – discipline. Daily discipline. So why not actively create your life, instead of mostly running in automatic-reactive-survival mode? Interacting with the quantum field Nobody is doomed by their genetic makeup or hard wired to live a specific way for the rest of their lives. Says Dr. “You… broadcast a distinct energy pattern or signature. In essence, we influence the quantum field through our Being-states (and not only through what we want). Vision and creative mode A brain region called the frontal lobe plays a key role in envisioning the life you desire. If you can hold a vision regardless of what’s going on around you, you are in creative mode, i.e. you refuse to respond to any triggers in your environment, and you KNOW with 100% certainty that your vision must come, as it already happened in the quantum field. This is exactly what we admire in great leaders: Gandhi, Dr.
9 Signs You’re An Old Soul “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” ~ Satchel Paige There is a special kind of person in our world who finds himself alone and isolated, almost since birth. His solitary existence isn’t from a preference or an antisocial temperament – he is simply old. The “Old Soul” Robert Frost, Eckhart Tolle and even Nick Jonas have been called them. If you have not yet discovered whether you’re an old soul, read some of the revealing signs below. 1. Because old souls are disinterested in the pursuits and interests of the people in their age groups, they find it dissatisfying to make friends with people they find it hard to relate to. 2. Yep … this seems a little grandiose and overly noble, but the old soul finds himself naturally gravitating towards the intellectual side of life. 3. More emotional old souls tend to have sensitive and spiritual natures. 4. 5. Old souls tend to think a lot … about everything. 6. 7. 8. 9. Source: “9 Signs You’re An Old Soul,” from lonerwolf.com
Change Your Life in 60 Seconds With This Breathing Exercise Ever feel blocked? When we get hooked into our to-do lists and daily duties, we lose track of life flow. A big block is fear. Whenever fear arises, we get stopped in our tracks. Thoughts like, “I can’t,” or “there’s not enough” or “there’s no way” block us from creative ideas and the energy we need to move forward. Then fear leads us to overthink and start future tripping about negative outcomes. One of the greatest ways to bust through emotional blocks fast is through a breathing technique frequently used in Kundalini yoga called breath of fire. Breath of fire is a rhythmic breath in and out the nose. On the inhale, your diaphragm extends. Breath of fire newbies often emphasize the exhale. It's also common for the newcomer to feel shortness of breath. Remember that on the inhale, your diaphragm extends and on the exhale, it contracts. As you practice breath of fire, you'll release the tension in your diaphragm and in effect release yourself from many emotional blocks.
3 Ways to Market Your Content to Millennials Millenials -- the 18- to 36-yearold demographic -- are a top target for marketers but impressing them with your product, content or brand messaging is no simple task.

10 Painfully Obvious Truths Everyone Forgets Too Soon “The truth does not cease to exist when it is ignored.” You know how you can hear something a hundred times in a hundred different ways before it finally gets through to you? The ten truths listed below fall firmly into that category – life lessons that many of us likely learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, but for whatever reason, haven’t fully grasped. This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all… 1. We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. LIVE your life TODAY! 2. Your life is yours alone. Remember, it’s always better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than the top of the one you don’t. And if life only teaches you one thing, let it be that taking a passionate leap is always worth it. 3. Busyness isn’t a virtue, nor is it something to respect. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
7 Ways That You (Yes, You) Could End Up On A Terrorist Watch List Earlier this week, The Intercept published a 166-page document outlining the government's guidelines for placing people on an expansive network of terror watch lists, including the no-fly list. In their report, Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Devereaux highlighted the extremely vague and loosely defined criteria developed by 19 federal agencies, supposedly to fight terrorism. Using these criteria, government officials have secretly characterized an unknown number of individuals as threats or potential threats to national security. In 2013 alone, 468,749 watch-list nominations were submitted to the National Counterterrorism Center. It rejected only 1 percent of the recommendations. Critics say the system is bloated and imprecise, needlessly sweeping up thousands of people while simultaneously failing to catch legitimate threats, like Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. But there's also a more nebulous connection that could prompt your placement in the TIDE database. 6. 7.
The Powerful Practice Of Eye Gazing The very first time I experienced eye gazing I was floored by what I felt and saw. The connection you feel with another human being, the visualizations of past lives, future potentials and more, all can become very real while engaging in this exercise. Of course, there are many different intentions you can set before a session of eye gazing that can bring out an array of outcomes, but let’s jump into a rundown of how to go about an eye gazing session and from there we can explore what the benefits of such a practice might be. “When eye contact between two people is initiated and maintained, an invisible energetic circuit is established between the two participants, dissolving the barriers that ordinarily separate them from each other, drawing them ever closer into a shared awareness of union.” Will Johnson Right off the top it’s possible that some of us might think this is some “new-agey” or spiritual practice.

The Sacred Geometry of Personality, Thought and Feeling | Spirit Science The rules of the game are about to change. And by about to, I mean they already have. *wink* Long, long ago, there was a realm filled with happy faces and sad faces. And all the smiles got mad at the frowns. Today, the war continues on…. Certainly history has defined that telling each tribe their view is wrong – is NOT the answer. The world we see is but a thin film. We like things to be simple and easily digestible. I will not save you. The key to suffering is to learn and practice loving thy self, and knowing that you are everyone and everything – and thus self love is the practice of loving All.

Things You Can Do To Get Smarter You might be under the impression that intelligence is a fixed quantity set when you are young and unchanging thereafter. But research shows that you're wrong. How we approach situations and the things we do to feed our brains can significantly improve our mental horsepower. That could mean going back to school or filling your bookshelves (or e-reader) with thick tomes on deep subjects, but getting smarter doesn't necessarily mean a huge commitment of time and energy, according to a recent thread on question-and-answer site Quora.

10 Mind-Blowing Theories That Will Change Your Perception of the World | The Mind Unleashed Reality is not as obvious and simple as we like to think.

Great glaciation is the theory of the final state that our universe is heading toward. 2. Solipsism is a philosophical theory, which asserts that nothing exists but the individual’s consciousness. Don’t you believe me? As a result, which parts of existence can we not doubt? 3. George Berkeley, the father of Idealism, argued that everything exists as an idea in someone’s mind. The idea being that if the stone really only exists in his imagination, he could not have kicked it with his eyes closed. 4. Everybody has heard of Plato. In addition to this stunning statement, Plato, being a monist, said that everything is made of a single substance. 5. 6. Enternalism is the exact opposite of presentism. 7. So, what is the debate? 8.

Located at the peak of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy, he described this high-level need in the following way: “What a man can be, he must be.

9 Mind-Bending Epiphanies That Turned My World Upside-Down | Spirit Science and Metaphysics Over the years I’ve learned dozens of little tricks and insights for making life more fulfilling. They’ve added up to a significant improvement in the ease and quality of my day-to-day life. But the major breakthroughs have come from a handful of insights that completely rocked my world and redefined reality forever. The world now seems to be a completely different one than the one I lived in about ten years ago, when I started looking into the mechanics of quality of life. Maybe you’ve had some of the same insights. 1. The first time I heard somebody say that — in the opening chapter of The Power of Now — I didn’t like the sound of it one bit.
