  • Freewill Astrology "€" Life As A Projection Of Thoughts And Actions
    By: Alison Rooney | - Freewill astrology caters to the detractors of the belief that everything is pre-destined. It strongly refuses to believe the famous notion of whatever has to happen will happen; rather it advocates that the future happenings are nothing but a realistic translation of our thoughts and the subsequent actions. We will try to understand it by a simple example, suppose you have to wake up at 6:00 AM the next morning. What would you do? Simply, put an alarm and its done. But you will also w ...

  • We All Have Free Will
    By: Eric Shanman | - Free will allows a person to select an alternative from a variety of options. However, since decisions are based on values and beliefs, one could argue that free will is limited as families, friends, schools, and other foreign entities shape the values and beliefs of each individual. Furthermore, how these foreign entities perceive an individual's personal traits will determine how the person interacts with them, and therefore integrates to society and makes decisions.

    Using this ...

  • Our Prison System Needs To Focus On Rehabilitation
    By: Norma Hickox | - Great changes are needed in our penal systems. These penal systems should be patterned after the schools on the inner planes where entities are reeducated before being allowed to come back into body form. In the penal system the recirculation would be back into society instead of back into a body as done on the inner planes.

    The way our prison systems are being handled today is an atrocity. For the most part when one enters one of our prisons he is almost certain of two things. On ...

  • Western Science Takes A Big Blow In Meditation Study
    By: Victor Fama | -



    And thus new life is breathed into the free-will vs. determinism argument. For the better part of the last century, the scientific materialists were running away with this argument, but finally free-will has scored, as implicit in these findings is the idea that there is something that directs and controls the brain itself, some BEHAVIOR, which determines, or CAUSES the brain to be a certain way, rather than the materialistic view that the brain (and genes) control beha ...

  • Free Will V. Determinism: Free Will Finally Comes Back!
    By: Victor Fama | - Meditation is a workout for the brain and not only improves brain functioning, but actually makes it grow larger. The Buddha taught such things two-thousand five-hundred years ago and scientists are only now beginning to discover them.



    Psychology today is reporting on a study by NeuroImage in which researchers, using a high-resolution MRI, found that certain areas of meditators' brains were larger than non-meditators' brains. The areas of the brain displaying a 'signifi ...

  • Determinism And Free Will: Destiny Change In Buddhism
    By: Victor Fama | - Is there such a thing as free will? Is determinism right and free will a myth? If so, can our destiny change, thus transforming fate? What does the concept of karma in Buddhism say about determinism and free will?



    The teachings of Buddhism agree that, between determinism and free will, determinism is the victor. Buddhism therefore agrees with the fortune-tellers and scientists that circumstances present at birth controls our future behavior, and therefore our destiny. W ...

    Surprisingly, the Buddhist answer to the question of determinism and free will is that, yes, our destiny is, to a large degree, pre-determined by karma. Buddhism therefore agrees with the fortune-tellers and scientists that circumstances present at birth contr ...

    By: Moshe Sharon | - We are always dealing with an unseen truth that governs our lives and exists beyond our capacity to notice.

    Tow the line, line up, stay in line, youre way out of line, walk a straight line, dont cross that line, take a number and wait in line, dont cut in line, make that deadline or its the end of the line, so lets get our ducks in a row, which is not an exact match but in line with what Im saying.

  • Fortune Cookies And Psychics
    By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - One night, in my early days of broadcasting, the radio station I worked for had a psychic on the air for an hour. My job was to get the callers ready and waiting on hold for their turn to ask the psychic about their future.

    At the end of the hour, one young lady never got her turn because time had run out. I told her that the show was over and then curiously asked her what question she had wanted to ask the psychic. She told me that she wanted to be a writer and was hoping to find ...

    "Free will" is represented by "Arminianism teaches" below.

    THE BIBLE TEACHES: "AND AS MANY AS WERE ORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE BELIEVED." (Acts 13:48)

  • Astrology - Children Born Under Aries
    By: Chris Haycock | - Aries (The Ram) is called the "Prince of Celestial Signs", and was considered the sign of first importance by many ancient nations and proponents of Astrology. In the zodiac of the ancient Hebrews, Aries was the sign of Gad. In the Chinese zodiac, Aries was known as "The White Sheep."

    Children born under this sign, that is between March 21st and April 19th, can be somewhat difficult to deal with, unless you have the understanding of their nature. That is reason, love, and kindness.< ...

  • Astrology - The Forgotten Age
    By: Chris Haycock | - For many centuries the truths of Astrology were clouded, to the point of almost being lost forever, amongst the many corrupt and idolatrous religious practises of the early civilisations of the eastern hemisphere. The science and teachings became so forgotten that eventually they were regarded as just myths.

    Of course, as we know, nature never allows anything of value to die completely, so astrology came through this period of neglect through the research of devotees such as the Hin ...

  • Astrology, How Old Is It?
    By: Chris Haycock | - The practise of astrology is mainly based on the premise that the stars, planets, sun, moon, and the earth are all inter-related. Connected together as part of the great cosmic plan. The earth and the planetary bodies influencing each other in varying degrees.

    Astrologists believe that everything that happens to every body in the universe is in some way due to this influence between them. Consequently the destiny of nations, races, and individuals on this planet earth cannot escape ...

  • Astrology - The Days Of The Week And Cycles Of Seven
    By: Chris Haycock | - We are all so familiar with the days of the week that most of us never give them a second thought. However, the names of the days of the week were coined by the astrologers of old, and are there to constantly remind us of the governors of our destiny, the planets.

    Sunday is ruled by the Sun; Monday by the Moon; Tuesday by Mars; Wednesday by Mercury; Thursday by Jupiter; Friday by Venus; and Saturday by Saturn.

    Sunday in astrology represents the beginning of life, and Sa ...

  • Astrology - The Age Of Aquarius
    By: Chris Haycock | - Do you remember the '60's musical "Hair", or maybe your grandparents told you about it! The opening number of which was "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius", or was that the first line? Anyway, there are different theories regarding the start of the age of Aquarius. What most astrologers agree on however is that we are in the age of Aquarius now.

    There are twelve astrological "ages", each one lasting for a little over 2,000 years. However, due to various reasons, forces, fac ...

  • Seven Gifts From Our Creator To Help Us On Our Path
    By: Norma Hickox | - God's universe was not patterned randomly, nor were you. Your path is predetermined to a certain extent as to what should happen, but you have free will that eventually determines the path you do take. If your free will is to work with God and the gifts He provided you with to make your way on the path, then so be it. If your free-will (in the form of human ego) is stubbornly insisting on its own way, then so be it. Your progress will be much slower, but you'll eventually get there because this ...

  • God Is Not In Charge
    By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - This title may be a bit shocking in some religious circles, especially since the author of this article is a Christian minister. Nevertheless, sitting here in my office, shortly after 5 a.m., I got inspired to write. At first, I jotted down a couple of notes; then a couple of more notes, and, finally here I am at the keyboard.

    I mean no disrespect to God with the title. In fact, by the time you finish this article, I believe you will not only have more respect for God, but also i ...

  • Is Ours A Herd Morality?
    By: JOHN HARDY | - Do you know the difference between right and wrong? This is the question we ask our teenagers, ad nausea. This is the litmus test for deciding if the criminal is bad or mad. The question itself presupposes that we human beings have an innate sense of right and wrong. It further assumes that what is deemed to be right and wrong is incontrovertible, that they are universal constants which transcend culture and context.

    Even though the most primitive of tribes, such as aboriginals ...

  • Do Tribes Dominate Our Culture And Rule Our Companies?
    By: JOHN HARDY | - The lone wolf is a myth. No wolf can survive for long in the wild away from its pack. Similarly, the maverick, the solitary hero depicted in the old Marlboro cigarette commercial as the solitary cowboy, out on the range, with nothing but his horse, his gun, and the great blue sky as his companions, is romanticism.

    In order to achieve anything of enduring value, building a structure, publishing a book, growing a business empire, or raising a child, we need to enlist the active coop ...

  • The Challenge That Groupthink Presents To The Company
    By: JOHN HARDY | - Several years ago, I attended a Tai Chi seminar in Florida, during which we learned a long and complicated series of movements, called a form. We were in a group of about twenty, all of us novices learning the form. The members of the group were all from different parts of the North America. Few of us had met before. Our only connection was a shared interest in Tai Chi.

    The master would demonstrate the form from an elevated platform, in this case a park bench, and we would attemp ...

  • Spirituality Information: Understanding Requires Desire And Responsiblilty
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - The reason you use the law of attraction is to better understand whatever it is you desire to be, do or have. Your spiritual growth is entirely dependant on your level of understanding.

    The ability to understand the true nature of how things work requires two things from you.

  • The Cycle Of Life Is The Secret To Balance
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - The only absolute is that everything changes. That is the nature of our vibrational universe. Life is made up of cycles and these cycles are the catalyst for continual change and spiritual growth.

    The world we were born into is the culmination of what has been created by the human species, as a collective, ever since the human species evolved to the point of cognition and awareness.

    Our earliest ancestors recognized and honored the three aspects of our beingness ...

  • The Spiritual Growth Of Your Life
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - Spirituality information tells us that when we enter this physical universe as babies we voluntarily forget that we are actually a spirit child of God who is not only eternal but also knows all that God knows.

    So following this logic, we see that there is a transition that takes place from the time that we arrive in this world, in a state of pure innocence, to this other state of cognizance and knowledge.

    It is a transition from living fully in the present moment ...

  • Functions Of Being
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - Spirituality information tells us that everything in existence, seen and unseen, is interconnected. Your spiritual growth always leads you to this truth. You can use the law of attraction to focus on this truth and know it in your experience. Your spirit knows this truth at all times.

    The mind and body are not clear on this fact. Unless they are. Typically the mind and the body, while residing in the physical relative universe, exist within a belief system that says they are sepa ...

  • Viva Experience, The Secret Of Life
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - Our spiritual growth tells us that we are three part beings of mind, body and spirit. It is our physical bodies that allow us to experience life. The secret is that there is no way would be able to experience life if our bodies made up the totality of our being. Our body alone does not allow us to see the interconnectedness of all of life.

    That is one of the main reasons that we find it easy to accept this idea that we are separate from each other. Our physical senses tell us thi ...

    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - Spirituality information comes in many forms through many concepts. Let us start out with the concept of relativity and progress forward to advance your spiritual growth. The secret, as always, is to be open to everything and attached to nothing.

    Relativity tells us that you cannot experience something unless you also come to know its opposite. You can't know the concept of tall unless you compare it to something that is not tall. Something you would call short. You can't come to ...

    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - The secret to all of life is Love. All spirituality information stems from love. Your spiritual growth is merely love expanding. The law of attraction tells us that the more love you give the more love you have.

    The power of creation is an inherent part of the entity you know as yourself. My dictionary defines entity as: 1) Existence, 2) A thing that has definite existence. This entity we call our selves is certainly a thing that has definite existence. ...

    Use the law of attraction to speak only those words that are true to you through your experience. When you speak words of love then love is your truth. When you speak words of fear then fear is your truth.

  • Spiritual Growth Question: What Is Inside Of You?
    By: Richard D. Blackstone | - Your spiritual growth is a process of going within. Most spirituality information prioritizes what is inside of you rather than what is exterior to you. So your first concern about your spiritual growth is whether you are choosing to go within for answers to your innermost questions.

    When you are living unconsciously you are making choices all the time that are mainly concerned with the world that is outside of your physical body. Everything in life is a matter of choice.

Well, I guess humorous is a relative term, morbid might be a better word. For the first time in my life I actually got to see the whole process from the slaughter of the chicken to the arrival of the chicken meat on my plate. And let me tell you, it is not a pretty picture. First, they cut off the head and drain the blood and then they pluck th ...

    By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - The choices you have made and the actions you have taken have produced the results that you see in your life right now. A lot of people might totally disagree with that statement, but I believe it is very true. Your results are directly produced by the decisions that you have made.

    I understand that we are living in an, "it's not my fault" society. Today, very few people take responsibility for their own actions. And, if you listen to what some people say, you might think that ...

But amazingly, few people know and understand this and even fewer believe it. Believe it or don't believe it; the battle will always take place in the mind.

  • Free Will And Sovereign Grace
    By: Babu Ranganathan | - How do we as Christians reconcile the freedom of man's will with God's sovereign and unmerited grace in salvation? Many Christians will give God all the credit and glory for the payment of their sins at Calvary but when it comes to believing in Christ they give themselves either all or some of the credit and glory. This issue, therefore, needs serious Biblical examining.

    The will is only as free as its nature. For example, God has free will but He cannot choose to do evil since i ...

    By: Anupam Mishra | - Friends when we talk about astrology, we mess up in rajyogas, duryogas, auspicious incidents, inauspicious happenings and so on. I don't think we ever proceed to search out 'seriously' beyond that. Then comes out the most controversial and debated subject what we call 'free will'. If everything has been pre-destined, what the hell we are striving for? Is there any devil writing our fates all the time and having fun? A big No, all the saints say that nobody else, but we alone are responsible for ...
