How do you feel when you see homeless people on the street? Many of us feel disgusted when we look at them and others do not even acknowledge their existence as if they’re worthless and irrelevant. Some of us even consider them as being nothing but drunks and junkies. We all have different ways of interpreting the lives of these people, but in the end, we all believe that they are less fortunate than ourselves.
Some of us already understand that perhaps something in a homeless person’s life went wrong and forced them to be where they are. Some people might even say that a homeless person became that way because the pressures of living in society drove them to it. Perhaps they felt misunderstood because they were too ‘open’ and in touch with their deeper soul essence, when unfortunately our limited society is yet unable to recognize philosophies and life ideas from the nature of a soul perspective. Those people likely ended up lost and feeling out of place? Wandering around with a feeling that nothing in their lives really matters in terms of their understanding from a higher level. It can be very difficult to survive in a world where the mundane seems to matter most.
It has even been discovered that some of the homeless are rich! So it is not always the case that they are less fortunate than us in a financial sense. I recall a situation that happened some time ago, a homeless man was discovered dead and they found out he had over 3 million dollars stashed away in his bank! In the end, whether they are rich or poor, these people are still homeless right now and why?
I checked the internet for the definition of the word ‘home’ and I found this interesting definition ‘An environment providing security and happiness’. So there are many of us in the world who have a roof over our head, yet we neither feel secure or happy. Do we think we are any more fortunate than the people living on the streets who do not have a building to live in?

Are we any more human in essence than those people because we claim to own a few slabs of concrete? Tell me, don’t we still have many issues to deal with even though we have a place to live in, probably even more issues to deal with than those people who do not have the responsibility of maintaining a ‘home establishment’. As an example, what is the difference between a homeless person drinking alcohol to compensate for his or her problems and doing the same thing in the comfort of our own dwelling? If you ask me there is no difference at all, it is only a matter of status!
How do we define someone who is homeless? A homeless person is simply a person without a place to life. The number of homeless people is growing rapidly all over the world and what are we doing about it? Nothing really! It seems to be more important to us to go to the moon or mars and creates bombs worth millions of dollars! What the hell, if we can’t solve any of our problems then let’s just blow ourselves away!
In terms of the rest of us who consider ourselves fortunate for having a roof over our head, would you ever think of yourself as being homeless? I bet most of you are now saying NO, HELL NO! What are you talking about? I have a home, two cars, a home theatre, a Nintendo machine or an Xbox, many games. I go out every week and have fun! Let’s now consider the definition of the word ‘home’ once again ‘An environment providing security and happiness’. Now with that in mind, let me clarify my question again. With all that you have materially and aesthetically in your life today, are you sincerely happy in your life? How many times per day are you aware of a deep sense of loneliness? Do you ever feel an inner emptiness and as though there is something missing in life, yet you do not know what it is?
Most of us do feel this way on a regular basis, but are unable to determine what the problem is. We keep buying more and more stuff; we keep ourselves busy eating, drinking, smoking, entertaining and getting wasted on alcohol and drugs in order to avoid dealing with life. We can deny it for as long as we like, but in the end it is us who suffers and regardless of how we try to suppress things, that feeling that we are lonely, unhappy and that we are missing something will not go away. How many of us have bought stuff, yet in reality we don’t really have space for any more stuff in our life? How many of us are bored with life? How many of us feel a prevailing sense of lack of purpose?
The reason we came to this plane in the first place was because our Soul made the decision to do so. Then we were born. On the other hand, had your soul decided not to come to spend a life in this plane, you would not be here today. So if your soul decided to come here for a purpose and you are not living up to that and carrying out your souls task, then you will always feel you are missing something in your life. You will always feel that inexplicable void and loneliness deep inside of you; you might not feel truly happy.
What is it that prevents us from fulfilling our Souls task? It is quite simply our human limitations, our stubbornness, our fear of experiencing humility, our pride, our ego and our resistance to change that prevents us. When you try to fulfill your life with material things as a substitute for connecting to your Soul, this will never substitute for the need to look more deeply into your life and its purpose.
Making yourself appear happy on the outside in front of everyone, yet when you are alone you are as miserable as can be, serves no purpose at all. After all, is it just about appearances? Who is getting hurt in reality? Living superficially will never bring harmony into your life for a simple reason, you are contradicting yourself. The funny part here is that many of us are somehow aware that we are living in this way, yet we still keep on doing it! My question is just how long are you prepared to keep it up? Will it be until the day you die and leave this earth life without accomplishing much of what your soul had intended in the first place? That is a waste of a lifetime.
My questions to you now are very simple. Are you homeless? Does your Soul have a home? Take a deeper look at yourself, into your own being and take a good look at what you are doing with your life. Is this the life you really want to live and the path you desire to continue walking on? In reality, life is simple, yet on most occasions, we make things more complicated than necessary. From now on, just set yourself free and begin doing things for yourself and for the right reasons and always with a pure intention. Try to discover what is good for your soul and then do it! Most of all, always remember you are never ever alone!

I was driven towards looking to the self-confidence and self-esteem in ourselves on a deeper level. How do we evaluate the two?

On a human level and perhaps whilst growing up, our religion, the influence of the culture of where we grew up in and our parents, are all factors that influence and contribute to our level of self-confidence and self-esteem.

How do we define those fancy words we consistently hear, and where do we begin to determine the effect of them?

Self-Confidence is the level of where we are aware of ourselves, concerning our abilities, gifts and knowledge. The opposition is lack of self-confidence. This is where we have the awareness of our capabilities; however, we do not have enough drive toward making changes in any conviction we hold, in respect of what we believe in. We grow to feel safe and comfortable with what we are used to in our surroundings. The idea of embracing new opportunities that offer change become somewhat fearful thus is reflecting the fact that we are scared to make a leap to an unknown environment.

Self-Esteem is the level where we are lost within our own identity. It is a common trait for most of us that we tend to sit in the ‘back seat’ allowing other people to take control of what, in reality, should be our own decisions, allowing ourselves to become dependant on others to handle our affairs. This will most likely lead us into becoming a doormat for other people to toss us around in order to meet their own selfish ends.

Does this make any sense to you?

When looking around us, we can see that for many of us our confidence in recognizing our own true identity begun during childhood. This is a natural characteristic which we are born with. We can see an increasing amount of the younger generation attempting to imitate a star who they idolize. This is not a mere phase through which they’re passing. In many ways this is an attempt to disguise their lack of confidence in themselves by trying to portray a new look or face to other people, from whom they are striving to gain approval or recognition by pretending to be someone they are not.

Imitating a star is nice but not at the expense of your own body, health or spirit being damaged in the process. Some people might take it to the extreme where they develop an eating disorder, for example, Anorexia, Bulimia or both combined in an attempt to alter their physical appearance to resemble someone they admire. The result of this is most likely to cause damage to their body, self-confidence, self-esteem, and spirit in the process. However, it is not always the case where the problem lies in the attempt to imitate a star; the most common influence is the effect of the environment of where we grew up and the conditions of our family in respect of this. Hopefully one day, people will confront these issues by talking or writing an account of their experience in an honest and completely open fashion rather than the latter of keeping the truth hidden away from fear of confrontation, response, opinion or judgment.

These issues are serious and it is high time we learnt how to understand and deal with them accordingly.

Now where do we find the main source of this problem?

I am, by no means, trying to pin point the blame on one specific element. There are many different factors, all of which contribute to and hold equal significance in influencing these matters. To cover all possible influences would be too long at this point; however, I would like to specify the factor which I believe where the responsibility lies in the first place.

We cannot place the blame on the child in the first place. The parents may benefit from looking into this problem more seriously and carefully than what they might think?

We are sometimes hasty when bringing a child into this world. When two people unite they may not be ready for the relationship itself, irrespective of handling the responsibility that raising a child carries. The couple should take the time when learning to better understand each other before dealing with the overwhelming excitement the event of a new born baby arriving into their lives brings. This factor will take effect, resulting in the couple neglecting the importance of nurturing their own personal relationship with each other. In many instances the gap between the couple will become increasingly larger and wider. In the instance of a divorce, the majority will not result in a happy ending.

All the frustration and anger that has accumulated as a result of the void in the parent’s relationship, of which they created on their own behalf, is placed on the child. That child is sensitive to all of what happened between his parents. He or she is very aware of the fact that it is through faults of their own that the problems occurred in the first place.

When a child is between ages of 5 to 10, it is these years that are the most crucial years when he will require the security and support from his parents to maintain a healthy development and growth in terms of his self- confidence and self-esteem. In a situation where the family is dealing with the upheaval of a divorce, each parent will try to push that child towards taking their side. This plays a huge part in all of these issues. It is the intervention of our Human EGO.

Where is our personal responsibility?

When we talk to the parents as individuals, in many instances the immediate response is to excuse themselves by placing the blame upon the effect of the circumstances in which they grew up. Is it the time to heal that part of your life before evolving a new soul in the process? Well think about it!

We all had in one way or another good and the bad experiences when growing up. This is unfortunate for any soul to have to go through a bad time when they were growing up. But by being responsible for ourselves, there is a requirement where we must allow healing the scars from the past and moving on in a healthy and productive way. You might make the excuse that this is easier said than done, but what effort have you really applied into fulfilling this task.

We cannot change any of the events that happened in the past, this is why we call it our ‘past’. However, we can accept the experiences for what they were and make allowances for ourselves to heal. We acquired those experiences or lessons in the first instance before coming to this life. It is not fair for a newborn to suffer as a result of our mistakes that we refused to handle in the first place because we do not want to let go of that past. So is there any excuse for us blaming our actions in correlation to the events of our past? I don’t believe this is so!

Be open to and experience life and learn to take responsibility for ourselves and for those people who are close to us more seriously. We are not only passing the time and the years when we are here on this plane to achieve nothing. Let’s start bringing up a new and healthy generation, without disregarding your own growth. Learn to grow up and move forward in your life!

I chose to tackle a range of different subjects here in this article because there is a great deal to be said on these different subjects. Hopefully we will tackle each one of them in this healing section.

When it comes to Anorexia and Bulimia hopefully other people who have passed through those experiences in their life will have the ability to help our younger generation. Reading these articles will provide an opportunity to learn how to deal with those situations by sharing their experience with us, and, in the process allow the healing process to take effect in their life too.

Do you agree that in this world we are driving into a dead end? Do you see yourself and your life stagnating? Do you feel the world has already reached the point of being at a stand still and that it is just sitting waiting to blow any minute? This world cannot take any more of the effect of man’s energy when all it focuses on is power, money, greed and more power. Don’t you agree?

Just the other day, I was sitting in the park next to my apartment watching children playing with their mothers all around them. I thought to myself for a moment. Nowadays, the way we do things should be done all in reverse! It should be the men who stay at home watching and playing with the children while their wives go out to work for the day, trying to find new ways of fixing the big mess we are facing in this world! That seems to be the only feasible way now!

Men have been dominating the world for too long. The past 1000 years have been governed by the “1” vibration. In numerology this is a male energy. I believe that since then, we have not done such a great job of making things really work and not only that, things seem to be going from bad to worse! If you are one of those people whose income is generated from destroying the environment, by killing other people, from selling precious oil or if you are tampering with other people lives in any way that somehow damaging to them then for sure, you won’t agree with what I am saying here. Well, I am sorry about that, but I am only stating some facts of life!

After coming to the conclusion that we would probably benefit from having the input of some females when it comes to fixing our problems, I then went on to wonder just where these women are? Are they sleeping or are they just hiding away from all the male domination?  At the turn into the year 2000, we entered into the feminine vibration of the “2”. The energy of the “2” will remain with us between the years 2000 and 2999. This is all very well; however, nothing seems to have improved at all! I kept on contemplating and I realize that there is one thing that is wrong with so many women. I will get to that point later on!

Since 1950 the women’s movement began getting stronger in western society. Although noted, the movement started earlier than the time I have written, but for arguments sake, we will focus on the last 50 years before year 2000 begun with the shift of the universal energy.

During this period women’s rights started to increase further into becoming equal rights. Even so, there are still many issues that are yet to be tackled which the society of men are resisting letting go of.

To understand what I am trying to say in this article, we need to understand first that there are two main vibrations that we work in this world. Those are the male and female vibrations. Let’s consider that the Male vibration was in domination for the majority of the last past 1000 years. During the 19th century alone of male domination, what in the world did we really accomplish other than World Wars I & II, the Vietnam War, the Israel / Arab war, the Korean War, the Gulf war and many other wars which have taken place in many other parts of the world? All these wars have been fuelled by mans greed and hunger for power and if we took some time to read up on the history of any of them, we could be honest and say that in reality we accomplished very few things as a result.

So far we have managed to get to the moon and we are now able to at least explore some of our universe. This is all very well, but somehow it seems to be all for the wrong reasons. With all of this comes the issue of who is going to be in control of that space we have discovered. Whoever manages to gain that control, for sure they will think it will bring them again, even more power. It seems that what we have accomplished throughout the 19th Century has only brought more grief, hate, anger, frustration, disliking each other according to our religions, our culture and our color, and many other judgments to exist between us. So when we live in a world based on all of these negative feelings, what kind of an accomplishment is that after all?

We are able to see everywhere around us today in all the terrorism, the war on drugs and the drive on weapons of mass destruction. These are but a few examples. Another thing is that something I feel deep inside reflects my personal opinion on the issue of diseases such as AIDS and SARS. I believe that many of the diseases, which have occurred over the last century, are man made. I also believe that they are secret laboratory projects that have been designed as another attempt of certain people gaining power over others. We are all aware that disease is a more effective and discreet means of attack than a missile or a bomb these days. It can hit masses of people, though without affecting the structure of buildings, cities, countries etc. Unfortunately, the reality is that when greed is blinding us, we will go to any extreme to acquire power in this world.

Female Vibration as our second vibration is a softer vibration, kind, humane, caring, nurturing, and intuitive was dormant during the last 1000 years, being obedient to the dominant male vibration and becoming almost non-existent as a result. During that period women were abused, treated as absent in matter of opinion and many time choice. That was really unfortunate. In the eyes of man women were toys to what men wanted or what the men wanted to see their women to be. The fashion was driven by men, Cosmetic, perfume and much other industry that dictate women’s choice by being slim or being fat and tapping on their insecurity and in some non-existent self-confidence. That damage that fetch to women brought them a low self-esteem and low self-confidence. While women are seeing and watching man and the universe vibration was starting to prepare to make its shift into the 20th century. That helped in the confidence of women to start to stand up and demand change but one thing is still wrong here.

Woman have adapted to building up a great deal of male energy in their vibration. This is often an unconscious attempt of surviving in this predominantly male world.  It is as if they need that male energy in order to gain their own position in society. This is one main reason why women are still not succeeding in the way they should be as females. Here is an example, there are two candidates running for the position of manager in the same office. One candidate is a woman and the other is a man. The man is as masculine as we know a man to be and the woman is a woman inside a woman body, however, she is overloaded with male energy. So who would you choose? What is the best option for the woman? Is it to attempt playing the role of a man in the hope that you have a better chance of being hired? Many women think that being a woman is a weakness. They think that women are too soft and delicate and that they are sissies! Men are always the ones in power, so who can blame them?  Women think it is cool to act like men, to be tough, to be a fighter and a survivor. Most of the world thinks that way, so who do you think gets the job? Of course, the woman loses. Yet, maybe if she had just been herself, an admirable, smart, intelligent and powerful woman then perhaps she would have had a better chance at getting the job? Who knows?

I want to see woman in a higher ranking. I want to see women leading our countries. This world is sick. This planet is sick and needs the caring love and compassion from a motherly energy to heal and take care of it.  All you women out there do not be afraid! You will lose nothing by being who you really are! Honestly! Just bring forth your real female energy and the universe will support you regardless. You came to this plane as a woman for a reason, not to try and become a man, something of which you are not! Now in our time woman should have the upper hand for the next 1000 years whilst the universe is sending us a predominant female energy. You are being asked to balance your male and female vibration and that means by NOT allowing your male vibration to take over your own essence of being a female with that energy and personality. Don’t walk like man, there is no need! Don’t act like a man and don’t try to be like a man, for you are not one! Allow your femininity to resurface. Don’t lose your male side just balance it by not allowing it to take over your female side completely because it really doesn’t mean that you will have better shot at rising to the top more easily.

These days many of our relationships are not working, and on many occasions it is because both people involved are acting as if they are the male in the relationship. It makes me wonder why people even bother to judge people who are gay or lesbian because energetically, heterosexual relationships are the same thing when they consist of a couple of different sexes, yet with same vibration. Pay attention to women who are walking on the street and you will see for yourself. Watch the way they walk and watch their attitude. Just because they have breasts, wear make-up and dress in a skirt and heels, it does not make them a woman if their energy is not feminine. Does it make any sense to you? You will be amazed at how many women you see who are like men; now that it has been brought to your attention!

I really urge woman to wake up! In reality women are the stronger sex and we can see they are already beginning to hold major positions these days. There are many women these days who do hold high positions, yet how many of them are working from a true female vibration with their male energy balanced? Challenge men on the right issues. Challenge them on things where they are bought by big corporations. Challenge them to handle the problems with the environment, challenge them with Medicare, challenge them to handle the issues with the homeless people sleeping on the streets and challenge them to deal with child care. Challenge them with issues that require the application of love, compassion, sensitivity, patience and acceptance. We need to learn how to begin bringing value to all human beings and treat all individuals as a soul, because that is what we all are instead of being just another number in the system. Challenge men to fix the problems with wars that are driven with the intention of claiming control over our planets oil. The wars that are created with a fake intention of taking care of normal people whilst other men, women and children in our cities are homeless, poor and starving. Our intentions are all wrong and our interests are based upon satisfying very few of the population whilst others remain feeling abandoned and hopeless.

What is important to women today, just to keep limping on through life until they vanish completely one day? It is about time they all made a stand for what is right. It is time to stand up for what you think will make a difference in the world. It is time to stand up and bring dignity to another human soul, regardless their religion, color or culture. Women need to state their true intentions and BALANCE their male and female energies because all the limitation which exists in women’s lives is there because they accept it. In the end it is your life, your responsibility, your choice and that all lies in your own hands.

We are all sitting and just waiting for a change to occur. Yet, change is only in your own hands. Make change, lead it, shape it and bring the new awareness and understanding that all people are hungry for in our world today. Day-by-day people are walking with frustration, inner sadness, they are all screaming and cursing each other the majority of the time and for what? There is no real justified reason! Just take a good look at the world around and you will get an idea what I am talking about. The state of the world is devastating, and I wonder how long we can survive if we remain living this way. I guess if no-one can be bothered to make any changes then we will just have to wait and see.

Here it comes again- the famous 3 words back in the back of your mind to commit to get rid of something that you hate or something that really does not work or have any value to your life. Why on earth do we put pressure on ourselves at the end of the year by committing to ourselves in writing to something deep inside we know we are having a hard time accomplishing? Is that a different sort of punishment imposed on ourselves? Well maybe, but for some, it is the thrill to commit to anything and then we create the best excuses to ourselves why we gave up so early!

Have you had any thoughts about your end of year resolution yet?  I haven’t because I’m still in my Mercury retrograde but I will have mine ready in the first week of January 2011.

How many of you forget about your resolution a month after you’ve made it?

Here are some typical New Year’s Resolutions:

a- I want to lose weight

b- I want to meet a women or a man

c- I want to commit to my relationship

d- I want to take care of my health

e- I want to stop drinking

f- I want to stop gambling

g- I want to be nice to my family

h- I want to make peace with my Dad or my Mum.

i- I want to learn to swim

j- I want to learn to ski

k- I want to dance

l- I want to travel

m- I want to be organized

n- I want to be confident

o- I want stability in my life

p- I want to start my business

q- I want to learn Yoga

r- I want more sex in my life

s- I want to forgive so and so

t- I want to be more responsible and less selfish

u- I want my freedom

v- I want material freedom

w- I want to be successful

x- I want to be more sensitive to other people’s feelings

y- I want to be positive

z- I want to quit smoking

… And the list can be longer and longer, and for many, the longer our list is, the more we boast about it and the faster we let go of it almost as soon as we have written it. Why is that?  The longer your list, the more unrealistic it is to accomplish it. Make your list in a way that can be achievable and easy for you to apply to your life because by doing so, you build more self confidence in yourself.

Pick up 9 index cards (3 x 5) and write down the most important 9 items that you would like to improve in 2011. Write each item on one card. Use the items you want to improve and please be specific on one side of the card and then focus on what measures you are going to pursue in order to achieve them. I learned that from Alex Mandossian’s Tele-seminar when I was listening to it the other day.

Do not make your list on a single page because if you gave up on one item on your list, you will soon get rid of the whole list. Post those cards in front of you on your wall so they are easily accessed for your eye to keep looking at them while you’re posting on your wall on Face Book.

Daze into your 9 cards while sitting at your desk for a period of 2 weeks (of course not 24 hours) and pick out the 3 most important cards after your long reflection that are not necessary to have but which you are the most compassionate about and have the most desire to have in your life – the ones that you feel a tingling inside when you keep reading them.

Take away the other 6 cards and store them in an index card box for future reference.

Take your 3 chosen cards and write on the back:

1-    Why you selected that card.

2-    Explain your desire behind your selection

3-    How will your selection improve your life?

4-    Analyze your selection according to if it has any relevance to any past experience in your life and what immediate thought is a reason for this selection.

5-    Determine what steps you are willing to take in order to achieve or improve whatever you asked for on your card. (Be realistic and do not push yourself hard for not to give up easily)

If you have any emotions that happen to come out from doing that exercise, please pick up a notebook and empty yourself through your writing. Let all your emotions come out.

Once you associate, identify and answer the above questions on the back of each card, then post these 3 cards again on your wall and daze at them reading both sides of the card for only 2 weeks.

Oh my God!  We wasted a whole month doing that and we haven’t even started yet to accomplish what we want.

Let’s do our work to accomplish our goal as we are working in a 9-Year Cycle, though now we want to call it a 9-Month Cycle instead.

January is the start of your 9-Month Cycle – End of A Situation / Time to Let Go

We selected 9 items we would like to improve or get rid of in our life on our first 2 days of the month and then within the first 2 weeks, we picked the final 3 items that we really desire to have in our life.

On the last day of January select the 3 items which are the most important, less important and then least important out of the three items. Then post them on your wall again with the same order you chose them.

By doing all of that, you clarify to yourself and to the Universe what you want, desire, and propose to have in your life. You are no longer overwhelmed with a huge list and the Universe is happy to know what exactly you want.

February is your 1^st Month Cycle – New Beginning

This month is your new beginning to start what you already planned last month to do in order to make the change in your life. Watch the signs that come your way from the Universe and be open-minded and willing to use what comes your way in order to launch your new beginning. Always stay focused on your selected cards.

March is your 2^nd Month Cycle – Build Your Foundation

Make sure you emphasize on building the foundation of what desired new beginning you attracted to your new beginning. Remain focused and build on the desire to achieve your goal.

April is your 3^rd Month Cycle – Relax and Enjoy Yourself

This month is for you to relax and go socialize and meet new people and enjoy yourself and take some of the pressure off your shoulders.

May is your 4^th Month Cycle – Structure / Organize

Back to work to build and construct the building on top of the foundation for whatever you had desired to accomplish 4 months ago.

June is your 5^th Month Cycle – Freedom / New Beginning

This month is the time to get rid of your way of thinking or your thoughts on the items you started 5 months ago and stop contradicting things with your old thoughts or ways of doing things that are no longer of value in what your new desire is.

As a new beginning month, this month you should pick up the six cards you stored in your index card box and see if there are any of the 6 items you selected that you’d like to add or that can help you improve what you already started 5 months ago.

July is your 6^th Month Cycle – Responsibility / Balance

This month will emphasize how responsible you are towards what your desired item is and how well you are able to balance your life with the desired item at the same time.

August is your 7^th Month Cycle – Reflect / Analyze

This is the best time for you to analyze and reflect on the past 7 months to see where things went wrong and how you can still improve things. Write and write more during this month about all your feelings towards the item(s) you are trying to accomplish and if forgiveness is required, please do so.

September is your 8^th Month Cycle – Result / Karma

This month will bring the result of your hard work and if you handled responsibility badly, then you will know about it and will face events that can relate to what you did not handle properly. Your 8th Cycle is karmic so whatever you put into it will come back to you.

You already finished your 9 Month Result and may be pending on how serious you were about achieving your resolution.

At the end, if you accomplished 1 item on your list, you have achieved a lot because following that, you will achieve 2 or 3 items because you were able to test, feel and achieve the result of your accomplishment so Happy New Year Resolution in 2011!

You have no excuse if you are reading this in whichever month because you can always start your year resolution from that month and follow the same process.

3 Reasons Why Your New Year’s Resolution Has Not Been Accomplished Year after Year:

3- Your list is too long

2- You have no deep desire

1- What you asked to have has a deeper root in you that is hard for you to get rid of.

For example: You asked to lose weight in your year resolution, as this is probably the # 1 request for many people, but your weight problem relates to an emotional problem from your childhood. Unless you deal properly with that emotional issue, you will lose some weight in the beginning but I promise you, your weight will come back and more. Underneath your weight’s issue there is something still boiling inside of you needing more attention. Think about it!

We are all human beings. We are all spiritual beings with a Soul that inhabits our body. So what makes you more special than me or anyone else? Nothing in reality!

If you think you are then you have a problem in your life at the moment, then consider some of the bigger issues that are going on in the world and you will see that your problem shrinks to almost nothing. You will start to appreciate your problem, realizing that you are blessed to have only that to deal with in your life and that perhaps you can learn something great from it.

Many people might not like hearing that, but I believe it is time to start hearing things from a new perspective. If you feel that this is not the way for you then just let it go and continue the way you have been going so far if you are truly happy. I feel that without saying the things I say I might not inspire people to anything the way I feel they ought to. On the other hand, I do feel that my ideas will click for certain people who are really stuck in their life and are just waiting to hear that something that will get them moving forward.

So what is Numerology? After drawing up the many charts I have done for so many people in the past, I have always been amazed by individuality and uniqueness of every single person and their chart. There really are no two people in the world who are the same. I do not use a computer to draw a chart; I like to do it myself because I enjoy exploring and feeling the essence of the chart’s creation in the first place.

There are many different ways of doing a chart and you can use any method you feel attracted to. Although some of the methods have slight differences, you will almost always end up with the same results. In some cases, the result will be slightly different from one chart to the next, but this is not critical because you will always get the bigger picture of the chart’s meaning in the end.

We will begin our chart by looking at the date of birth to calculate our blueprint destiny. Blueprint destiny is our potential in this lifetime, and the goal we are working toward through being on this plane in the first place. Blueprint destiny is the fundamental component of your blueprint and can be found from your date of birth.

Your date of birth is meant to be unchangeable, although some people have tampered with that date. For example, the parents of a child born in December might register their child’s birthday as if it occurred in January in order to make them younger. If this is the case for you, then I recommend that you find out your real birthday so you can calculate your true blueprint destiny. It may also be interesting for you to compare both your destinies, the true one with the one your parents made for you to see which destiny is best suited for you in your life.

The number of your blueprint destiny is usually made up of the sum of two numbers that are reached when you add the day, month and the year of your birth together. For example, January 2, 1980 would be 1+2+1+9+8+0=21/3. You then add 2+1=3, so 3 is the blueprint destiny in this case. We will learn about the calculations in more detail later, I just wanted to illustrate what I was talking about at this point of the book.

I personally believe the first number and vibration of your blueprint destiny is the foundation of the majority of the problems you will face in your life, which is 2 in 21/3 from my previous example. This vibration is the only vibration you have no control over. It is usually the case that as children we have no proper way of dealing with this vibration when it is predominant during our early life because we are so young.

This vibration is the vibration that was with you from birth right up until you were 18 years old. It makes up the base of all our problems and it is important that we begin to do something about understanding it and dealing with it.

We really need to act on this now before time passes us by because many people are still sitting and waiting for a miracle to happen that will save them. Others have spent sometimes 20 years in therapy and are yet to see any change happen. What does that tell you? Yes, it is time to think about you and your life from a new perspective.

The less you deal with your childhood the more complicated your life is destined to become. On the other hand, the more quickly and efficiently you deal with your childhood experiences the easier your life will become. Some people seem to be luckier than others when it comes to their childhood experiences and may have had an easier time with a pleasant upbringing, for others of course that is simply not the case.

So what happened in your childhood that is reflected in your life today? If you are not sure then why not take a closer look at the way you do things. The way you conduct your relationships is based upon what you learnt from your parents, their experiences with each other and how they dealt with you. The way you handle your money today is the same – a reflection of how you were taught to think about and handle money by your parents and how they dealt with their finances. The way your career goes also has a great deal to do with your upbringing. These things stand even in the case where you might be acting out in rebellion against beliefs that your parents tried to engrain in you that you did not agree with.

Whether you are acting according to their ways or against them, you are still directly influenced by your parents and their way of doing things.

You may be asking where karma comes into all of this and, of course, there is karma in our life that needs to be dealt with.

Your karma was well chosen according to the environment and family you were born into. This is in order to help make your experiences and lessons easier to deal with. As an example, maybe you are having problems dealing with other people because you are very shy. When you were a child, you became used to your parents doing everything for you and avoided dealing with other people, however that is affecting your life adversely today. Why do you think that problem still exists today, even although you are all grown up? Of course, it is because, during your childhood, your parents supported your shyness and fear of dealing with other people, making you dependent on others to do things for you.

One day, you were then left to deal with your life all by yourself, your parents were no longer there to do things for you and what happens next? You are feeling lost being left by yourself to deal with your issue and don’t know what on earth to do because your fear has become your reality.

Facing this type of situation can be devastating for some people in their life, yet in the end, it is their reality and they must deal with it before their life wastes away. We must try to begin learning how to deal with our life properly from an early age so we can grow up being able to handle the responsibility of ourselves and our life.

Many of us, regardless of our age, still act like a child, the child that never dealt with his or her issues. If you want to heal your life then you have to begin by healing your childhood. Often I ask someone if they have dealt with their childhood and they quickly answer “yes” with attitude. If you feel you have dealt with your childhood, then again, I ask you to look closely at your life today and see if there is anything, and I mean anything, that reflects your childhood.

Answer this question honestly because in the end you are only kidding yourself.

You are alive and that means you deserve to live the best life possible, so why not try to at least save your own life, regardless what age you are today? In this book, I will not go into the subject of how to heal your childhood experiences as this requires a whole book of its own. My next book will handle that subject so for the time being let’s get back to the Numerology.

Previous Article Part I

Throughout your experiences, did you grow to become envious of others, or did you feel jealous of others as they succeeded while you felt like a failure? Did you ask yourself, “Why Me?” Did you always feel that problems always seem to happen to you and no one else? Did you feel victimized by life? If so then the following list probably sounds familiar to you in terms of the way you felt about your life:

• You have lost hope in God.

• You have lost trust in yourself.

• You have lost faith in others

• You feel everyone around you punishes you.

• You feel victimized by everyone.

Of course, as a result of your experiences, all of your feelings have grown to become real and valid beliefs and emotions within you, simply because this is what you have chosen to invest in by allowing them to stay alive within you. You believe you are worthless and depend upon others’ opinions of you to feel worthy as a result, and because of your dependency, everyone treats you like a doormat and takes advantage of you.

This is what I recommend you do now:

• Stop blaming everyone.

• Stop complaining about your life.

• Stop being jealous of other people who are dealing with their life while you are doing nothing.

• Stop believing you are the only one who has problems.

• Stop feeling like a victim and take a long hard look at yourself and identify with the areas of your life that you can begin working upon to bring yourself back to living a happy life up to your full potential.

We tend to get stuck in a vicious circle when dealing with problems. Often it can be difficult to see any way out and, in order to free yourself, you need some help. The help you need is already out there somewhere, but perhaps you have a hard time accepting help and feel you have failed when you need to look outside of yourself for some advice or guidance? In any case, there is nothing wrong with asking for help if you are in need of some clarity. It is time to accept some humility in your life and accept that your experiences are all part of your Soul’s journey toward growth and evolution.

Realistically, being dependent on a professional to help you fix your problem for more than a year, in my opinion, is of no help to you either. Either your helper has no real idea of how to help you, or they are keeping you in a place of dependency for their own selfish reasons, be it financially or otherwise. Perhaps, on the other hand, you have been receiving help for so long because in reality you really do not want to let go of your issues, and enjoy the fact that you have someone to listen to you and sympathize with you.

If this sounds like a familiar situation to you, then it is time to identify with the reasons why you are not ready to let go of your problems.

Humanity as a whole has many issues to deal with. As individuals, we have many issues to deal with and before we can ever begin to heal our issues collectively, we must begin at the level of self. In order to succeed in our life, we need to really understand and deal with those issues. One way of another, we all have issues that have accumulated from the beginning of our life during childhood. This is the most important period of life that must be revisited, understood and dealt with before you can ever really get a hold of your life and help improve your future.

How can we use Numerology from our name and date of birth to help us understand our life? In order to understand Numerology, it is important to consider your life before you were even born.

Your cycle in this lifetime started at the moment your Soul returned to this plane and you were born. Your Soul has been frequenting life on this plane, as well as many others for time equivalent to many centuries. After such a long span of time and evolution, humanity has advanced technologically, however but in terms of human understanding we are still stuck in old patterns and ways of thinking. Because of this, the Souls choosing to integrate into this plane are becoming stuck in their growth due to the stagnation of the human beings that represent them in this lifetime. Souls have to repeat lifetime after lifetime, coming back to this plane for similar experiences because we are crippled by our limitation in the way we look at ourselves and others.

We categorize ourselves and others according to religion, culture, skin color, language and whatever else it is we believe separates us from each other. “If you are not one of us then you are our enemy”. Is that a statement of progress in our life? Or does that statement keep us from moving forward in life due to hate and anger toward each other? Perhaps is it just good business to think that way from a political and economic standpoint.

These days it is becoming harder to tell who has the right intention when it comes to what is right for the people and our world as there are so many distinctions. Even within cultural groups themselves, people are categorized. So tell me what is the difference between you and any other human being in the world?

“Where am I stuck?” “What’s preventing me from moving forward in my life?” “What can I do to fulfill my Soul’s pathway of evolution?”

After being around so many people and hearing the types questions they ask, I decided to begin using Numerology in such a way as to help people better understand their life, their experiences, their challenges, and most of all to understand themselves. After all, if you know yourself very well, then you will never seek any help or advice.

How many of us know who we really are? How many of us know what we want out of life when it comes to relationships, jobs and what is best for us? Remember, a major part of your task in this life is to become aware of your calling, or purpose in this lifetime. That is your responsibility and no-one else can ever tell you what that is. Occasionally you might be given guidance that will help direct you toward discovering and living your own purpose, however, no-one can ever fully reveal what that is to you because that goes against Universal law, the divine order of experience, and your Free Will. If you could find out your life purpose from another person, then you would be stripped of your experience, and all the learning that goes hand in hand with its discovery. If that were to happen, then there would be no point in you being here because the most significant part of our learning comes from self-discovery and why we are here.

In order to become aware of your purpose and get on track with your path of Blueprint Destiny, you need to first become aware of, and understand the essence of the experiences that have already happened in your life. It is important to become aware of, and understand those experiences because the experiences in your life have everything to do with your life purpose. Your experiences will guide you through learning whatever it is you need to learn before you can fulfill your Blueprint Destiny.

This book ‘The Blueprint of Your Soul’ will emphasize answering the many questions I have been repeatedly asked during my time working with Numerology. This book is geared toward helping you heal yourself using Numerology, as it is an easy tool to help you begin understanding your life and what you have learned from them, regardless of the experiences you went through.

No matter who you are or how you have lived, you still have something to do in your lifetime, and it is time for you to learn how to be responsible for what happens in your life. Responsibility is of major importance here as you are always accountable for your decisions, and whether they are active or passive ones, you are always the one choosing how you shape your life and how you respond to what happens around you. It is important that you understand your experiences and be aware of the choices you made in the past and how they brought you to where you are today.

Doing so will help you accept what has happened in your life and become responsible for choosing how you would like to live from now on.

Whatever the problem might be in your life, you still can fix it regardless of how old you are today. All you need is the desire to make your life better. No one, not a medium, psychic, friend, relative or whoever it is that you depend on for guidance will be able to provide you with the answers you need unless you are willing to accept responsibility for your life, recognize the fact you may have made some misinformed decisions and that it is time to fix everything.

Accepting the responsibility for fixing your life goes hand in hand with toning down your ego, pride and stubbornness and allowing the necessary changes to take place. You need to allow yourself to experience some humility instead of pride and stubbornness and accept your experiences, no matter what.

So are you ready to take the challenge of your life, to fix it for your own sake? If not then you need to identify your excuses. We are in this lifetime to grow from our learning, yet the majority of people are just sitting and waiting for things to change while doing nothing at all. They just sit, waiting and waiting for something or someone to enter their life and tell them everything is going to be alright. This is why many people go from one psychic or medium to another, hoping to hear the message that will suddenly make their life better. Well, things like that might happen in a fairytale, but let’s not forget this is real life!

Your life will begin changing the moment you decide that you want it to. In order to facilitate change you must first be willing to allow it to manifest in your life, your heart, and in your thoughts.

Healing can take place in anyone’s life, as long as the decision is made to accept it and the changes it brings. In reality you are the only obstacle between you and change; it has nothing to do with anyone else who are, or have been involved in your past. You are the only one who can stop you from changing your life.

Have you allowed your experiences to get the better of you, and as a result are dependent on living in hardship and thriving on other people’s sympathy? I have dealt with many people who have fallen into that pattern. Such people are giving their responsibility and power to change the direction of their life away in favor of surviving on other people feeling sorry for them. This fills them with a false sense of importance. These people do eventually end up losing track of where they are going in life and have no idea of how to move forward because they are unaware that they can.

How can you ever move forward if you are dependent on other people’s sympathy to define who you are? You cannot! It is impossible to progress in your life living this way. As I said before, though, anyone can change if they really want to. Free will gives you the power to choose your direction at any time and you can make begin making that change right now. Act now because the answer is still ‘yes’ for change. No matter how or what has happened to you, life will always support you in your decision to change, learn and grow because that is the purpose of your life after all. Know that and trust it.

For some of us, it’s easy to buy or sell a house but for others it is not. If you’ve ever been involved with the real estate market, I’m sure you have a few stories of your own. Some people feel that it’s all about luck but there are other things involved with the whole experience.

I would actually like to speak about buying or selling a house from a different prospective. I would like to explore it more from a metaphysical approach, which takes into account your vibration in relation to the vibration of the house you are buying or selling.

In Numerology, I can determine my client’s vibration by adding their name and date of birth. That way, I can generate a full chart by just having this information available to me. This information helps me to narrow the effect of certain locations. Always remember that the number will have an effect on the family as a whole and also may have more of an impact on one family member than another.

Your experience of entering your new house and your experience of leaving your house to live in another house is all determined by the vibration you are settling in. The vibration you choose as a house could make your life there a positive or negative experience.

In many cases, when you buy a house, you are attracted to something and one of those things is the numbers on that house you will be living in. We always attract numbers that either we need to learn or we just enjoy from that vibration.

Look at your phone number- Is there a common number always repeating? When you add all the numbers together, what do they add up to? Look to your previous numbers. The pattern you see is no coincidence.

Now you are a real estate agent who is trying to sell a house. I believe every agent should have their chart done and really understand their vibrations through their numbers because that will greatly affect their bank account.

For example: If you are a real estate agent and you are missing 4 and 7 and you are trying to sell a house that adds up to a 4 or 7, how smooth will the sale be when that house represents your weakness? Very tough indeed! When you have a missing number from your name, and depending if that missing number is a Blueprint Karmic Lesson, a Blueprint Modified Karmic Lesson, a Blueprint Sub-Conscious or a Blueprint Challenge for you, this will have a major effect on your sale of that particular house.

I would like to give an example here:

Ten years ago, I was living in the basement apartment of a house. The owner of the house, Vicky, had been trying to sell the house for 6 years before I came in. The house adds up to a 7 vibration. She had tried 5 different real estate agents and with no success. I was myself entering into my 7 Blueprint Attainment at that point in my life, so it was a good place for me to live. Attainment usually has a number of years with a specific energy. I was happy to be in a 7 house. I started talking with Vicky about Numerology. She told me that she would like to move to another city the moment she sold the house but it was not selling easily. I explained the vibration of the house to her and what this vibration meant to her. I told her that her house could sell in no time if she had the right agent that could understand that vibration. I asked her to bring me all the business cards of all the agents she worked with and she provided me with 5 business cards. I used what I had from their names for my calculations because I had no access to their date of birth and I figured out that all of them had a missing 7 in their names. With the house being a 7 vibration, this meant that they would have difficulties speaking about the house or even trying to convince anyone else about it because they themselves were not convinced about it. Then she brought me the cards of agents who had previously approached her to sell the house but whom she’d not contacted. I did the calculation of their names and I recommended 2 agents to her that had a higher chance to sell her house than the others. She ended up contacting my first choice first who came in and looked at the house and loved it. That agent sold the house within 5 months while it had previously been on the market for almost six years. She was happy and so was everyone else but now I have to move out because the house is sold! It was not in my favour at that point but I was happy for Vicky for finally selling her house. It had nothing to do with the market or luck, but instead it was about how familiar some of us are unconsciously to a vibration than others may be. The agent who can sell a 7 house may not be as brilliant at selling a 3 house and vice versa. Imagine what you could do with your real estate business when you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses and are able to work with your vibration properly.

Numerology is available to every one of us. It is over 3000 years old. There are many systems and modals of origin when it comes to Numerology and although each one works differently, they can all get you to the same result. Numerology is based on your name and your date of birth. You have a name that you use to introduce yourself with and you also have a fixed date of birth that even the government uses to identify you with- even to tell how much you make. Some people don’t accept what they are told and convince themselves of who they are. However, your name and date of birth hold many of your answers to all the experiences you went through in your life, whether or not is was with work, relationships, experiences or lessons in your life. Your soul drew you a blueprint for you to walk through and gain the experiences you have gotten in your life, regardless of if they were good or bad because they were, at the end, only experiences. You need to learn what to understand from those experiences in order for you to walk freely to the next stage in your life. But your understanding of those experiences has a lot to do with your missing vibration, your challenges, and karma in life and will affect you in your daily life including your career or the type of work you do. Isn’t it time for you to investigate that now on your own?

‎”Our desires are the scripts given to our souls for us to execute here on earth, while free will gives us the choice to either follow our script or choose another one. We can choose whatever script we want, however following our own script may lead us to chaos, struggle, unnecessary challenges and pain…while following the script of our soul leads us to happiness, joy, fulfillment, prosperity & wisdom.” ~ Enoch Tan

10 Keys to a Lasting Relationship – By Joseph Ghabi B.Msc

We go through life accumulating experiences with different partners that help us to grow mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. At the end, life is about experiences as long you don’t get stuck in your previous ones. A relationship is not about another person coming into your life to fulfil you. That is your own responsibility. Learn how to open your gates and drop your defences without creating expectations of what your partner will or won’t do for YOU. Learn to let go and forgive yourself and others so you can move on – without bringing old baggage into new relationships. It is not the same energy. This is not the same person you are involved with now. Until you learn how to do this, you will risk running into the same patterns of your old relationship situations. Learn to let go, forgive yourself and others and move on. Invest in your relationships, invest in exploring your sexuality, and invest in your growth. Relationships should compliment you and help with the reunion between two Souls which have decided to join together all for the right reasons because in the end, it is all about you! You are always the winner at the end. Just think of that for a moment!
10 Keys to a Lasting Relationship

1-   Your investment in the relationship has to be 100% even if your partner is not investing.

2-   Get to know yourself and fix your mess first before getting involved with someone else’s mess.

3-   Never start a relationship on a rebound without closing and understanding your previous one.

4-   The Law of Attraction states that whatever we attract in a partner is a big part of who we are but we haven’t let go of.

5-   A relationship is not always about you. There is another person involved here.

6-   Communication, communication and more communication.

7-   Be supportive and get involved with each other’s life.

8-   Don’t bring work home.

9-    Choose a partner for the right reasons.

10-                   Express your feelings and emotions.

You have the key to your happiness in life. You have the key to your happiness in your relationships. It is not up to someone else to make you happy but you need to be self sufficient first before you get involved with someone else.

We need to be involved in a relationship to be a whole and not to be fulfilled. Your partner should compliment you. If he or she is merely an accessory for you for your pleasure, at some point, they will get fed up with you.

All relationships start good. Have we noticed that? It is time to reshuffle your old ideas about your relationships in order to end up in a lasting relationship.

What is a numerological chart? Well, it is very simple. It is the uniqueness and fundamentals that will determine who you are and what you are made of. The level of your strong point and your limitation and the way you express yourself when talking to other people are all characteristic of you and can be differentiate and resolute in the chart.

Basically, this chart will be determined precisely from your date of birth and your full name at birth. However, in reality it is very rare that people use their full birth name on their certificate, but in this instance it can help you to determine what that person gained or lost when not using their original full name. For the moment we will use the name that you normally use in your day to day activities to simplify the process, making it less confusing. Don?t let the calculations panic you here, we are only adding numbers!

The numerological chart consists of several focuses that characterize the different aspects of our chart. There are several important focuses that can be taken from your date of birth and name. This focus consists of the following elements:

I.  Blueprint Destiny
Blueprint Destiny is the major task for your soul in this life, your centre of concentration and your being. Blueprint Destiny is also called life path. It describes the vision existing in order to learn the major lesson, as well as the upbringing, the culture and places in which these opportunities are likely to be found.
Blueprint Destiny is fixed and unchangeable. No one can change their birth-date and therefore no one can modify blueprint destiny except if your parents change the date of your birthday for whatever reason. Acceptance of the blueprint destiny allows for full growth and productive development. Confidence in yourself and your path allow you to progress forward to a positive life path.
II.  Blueprint Birthday
Blueprint Birthday is a sub-lesson to be learned and a sub-focus on your blueprint destiny. Blueprint Birthday is also fixed unless it was tempered at birth. It is to back in helping you to select the right vocation and assist your growth on your life path.
III.  Blueprint Expression
At birth you were given a full name. Your full name is the key to past experiences that you brought with you from the Universe to this physical plane. Blueprint Expression is a person’s likely natural talent. The essence of your blueprint expression is the vibrations that make up the grand whole of YOU. The way you portray yourself to the world. You can modify your expression the minute you change your name. I usually use the name that is used at the present moment that will mirror you as the way you are today. I do not recommended too many changes to your name because it can bring you confusion in your life. Example: Hollywood Stars that uses a career name and they have their own proper name too. That is one of the reason they keep running into problems when it come to their personal relationship.
III.  Blueprint Soul Urge
Blueprint Soul Urge is a person inner force, what you wish for to be, to have and to do. Soul is what you really fancy most out of life. It represents your secret desire, conviction, aspiration, or endeavor. It is the way your soul desires to express itself for absolute success. This vibration is dormant until you waken that part in you when you need help with your blueprint soul vibration represent for you in this life.
IV.  Blueprint Inner Self
Blueprint inner self, as I usually call it, the child within. It is hidden until we waken that part of our individuality when it is required. Even though it may be called blueprint inner self, this part of the personality often becomes an outer self, since it is used to accomplish goals. Your intuition and gifts are stored there. We all need to discover those gifts.
Blueprint inner self can be judged against to the soul ? what a person is in his or her heart. This judgment gives a more truthful assessment of what the person really is.
V.  Blueprint Maturity Number
Blueprint maturity number is measured to be one of the most important vibration numbers in your life. This number will show you what your life is planned for. Become familiar with vibration and if you know the plan and try to live up to it?s meaning your life will be exciting, clear, and rewarding.
VI.  Blueprint Growth Number
Blueprint growth number illustrates the energy, which will shed light on the essence of the experiences and help expand a person?s growth. It is all about the development that a person after. This vibration will help clarify what accomplishment you need to align yourself to assist you follow your blueprint destiny.
