An Introduction to Universal Law

April 30th, 2009, 6:49 pm

Law is a vibration set into place as a regulatory agent to assist mankind in their personal growth and in the course of their lives. Every single vibration of Universal Law was established at exactly the same moment, and has never altered by even one vibration in its basic structure. This Law can expand or contract in stature and scope but not in basic principle.

Universal Law is an expanding and contracting vibration, always in motion. Each individual is responsible for his own interpretation of the law and it’s application in his life. If, after an action is taken, an error has been made, it can be corrected by another action called karma. This constitutes the growth of mankind. These laws have been assimilated to stimulate your minds and to assist you in determining your truth.

Law is established not so much as a restrictive measure as it is a guideline to be used in the selection of a proper path that will enable you to avoid error in the pursuit of your personal purpose in life.

Law was not established to punish or take away from people. Law was not intended to ‘confine’ people or hold them down in any way. Law is information that has been given to mankind to help them begin a path with direction, and should be looked at as the primary tool on mankind’s journey to spiritual awareness instead of as something to be avoided and/or rebelled against.

When we think of Universal Law, we think of the Ten Commandments or the Laws of Moses as the primary laws that relate to mankind here on Earth. One cannot come to terms with the role of Universal Law in their lives and in their spiritual foundation without first coming to terms with another issue as well: do you believe that this planet is the only planet in the universe that has ‘life’ on it? Are we the only species God ever created, and therefore the only species to which the law applies?

Every planet in the universe that contains life – both life as we know it and as it is unfamiliar to us – has a set of laws pertaining to the civilizations on that specific planet. Laws are not designed to apply on a universal basis, for, as we said earlier, variations in the law – as it is understood and applied by the souls on any given level of consciousness – are necessary to accommodate the varying energy levels determined by the planetary level of awareness.

In looking at the physical existence that we enjoy here on the planet Earth, we can see that as centuries pass, the vibrations of the planet fluctuate up and down depending on the dominant cultures and the dominating cultural truth. The law changes and expands and contracts in order to adapt to the growth and the standards of societies, and it is this flexibility that enables the law to be compatible with, instead of in contradiction to, the codes of the society in which we live.

The Law Is Not ‘Carved In Stone’

Universal Law, as it was set into the vibrational existence millennia ago, has changed, grown and developed along with mankind’s level of awareness. As the level of awareness rises, the need for change in the law also rises. As the law changes, the room for free expression increases, leaving more to the responsibility of the individual to make good conscious choices. With awareness and knowledge comes a heightened sense of responsibility for the reality we create through our day-to-day interactions with others.

This is not to say that the law fluctuates; what fluctuates is your understanding of the law at any given point in any given existence becomes more obvious to you, and, as a result, your understanding of the law in more depth would make it appear that the law itself is ‘expanding.’ In those historical eras when society as a whole moves away from spirituality, it would appear that the law ‘contracts.’

In actuality, Universal Law does not vary. It has great flexibility in its scope, and great differentiation in the way it is being accepted and applied by Mankind, but the law itself never varies. Stability of the law itself is the only way to ensure uniformity of the pattern of growth for all souls, on every level of existence.

It is this uniformity of the law that maintains the ‘divine order’ of the universe. That means that everything that happens in your life happens according to Universal Law; there are no accidents relating to your true, spiritual experiences. It means that everything in your life takes place at exactly the right time, in exactly the way it needs to take place.

In other words, as your soul grows and develops, the law must expand to accommodate your growth. You receive, at the early stage in your development, a ‘partial law.’ As you grow, more and more of the scope of the total law if revealed to you to facilitate your understanding and comprehension of the law.

Understanding and applying Universal Law to one’s day-to-day lifestyle is not limited to individuals. The scope of understanding is expanded on group, cultural and planetary levels as well.

Law versus Free Will and Conscious Choice

The objective of every soul is to achieve a conscious level of union with God, to live their lives on what we call ‘a level of God-consciousness.’ For many individuals, the idea of living their lives according to Universal Law presents complex emotional obstacles, most of which are related to the issue of free will. How can a person express their free choice and give themselves up to the higher power at play in their lives simultaneously?

When and if the time comes within a given lifetime for you to place your entire being and welfare in the hands of the Creative Source – when you are asked, on an inner conscious level, to walk His path instead of the path of your emotional choosing, and allow Him to guide and release you through your inner connectedness to the essence of God Himself – a release is effected, and you are no longer totally responsible only to yourself. Within your working relationship with God, you are One with the Creative Source, and your responsibilities become joint responsibilities. This truth applies to every action you undertake during the course of the balance of your life.

To many people, this process of becoming One with your God essence is considered a relinquishing of ‘free will.’ Is it really? What are we giving up? Are we really letting go of those aspects of ourselves, or are we opening ourselves up to the possibility of a blending of purpose and will with God Himself that expresses our Oneness with God on a continual basis?

A Vision for Success

April 30th, 2009, 2:02 pm

Do you know that there is a formula for attaining material success? Indeed, there is.

My research has shown that people have gained material prosperity by following certain strategies, especially for projects requiring a large investment of up to $10 million with a short time frame for completion, i.e. one year.

The choice of the right team with the required know-how and expertise and the correct choice of location for its execution are essential for the successful completion of the project. The next most crucial aspect will be the right leadership and management, since the person in charge will provide the motivating force. Such positive catalysts are the soul of the project, since the people who are fully committed, will invest not only their expertise but also their hopes, desires, energy and concentration. A manager who has a vision, will be fully dedicated and focused on the successful completion of the project.

A vital factor that can mean success or failure is the harmony among the managerial team. The greater the harmony, the greater are the chances of success. The right choice can only be made by a great insight into the human personality. And for that a sensitivity for the talents of people hired is a must. It is my belief that if there is even one person who disagrees with the strategies and techniques employed by others, this will reduce the chances of success considerably. The manager has to be a uniting force to motivate others to get the job done efficiently and successfully.

Timing is another pertinent ingredient that must not be ignored. Wrong timing can mean higher costs or more wastage of precious time. In case of a $10 million movie project, the personalities, that is the main actors, must be able to deliver what the script warrants or it will be a flop. The audience in this case will be the sole judge.

It must be emphasized here that success in a project is largely dependent upon the expertise of the team plus the vibrational harmony among the people involved. It is team work. Without the full cooperation of all the individuals involved the project will not be successful. Many a movie was started and never made it to the screen. May you always make the right choices and be crowned with success!

Give yourself a gold star


Remember how rewarding it was in grade school to get back an assignment with a gold star sticker or some other tangible acknowledgement of a job well done? Well you can apply the same psychological boost to your goal-based activities today!


Sure, you could go about this in the literal sense, adding a sticker or some other item that makes you smile, such as a rubber stamp, to your daybook, calendar or goal-tracking sheet as a way to reinforce your successes. But why not get creative and offer yourself a more fitting reward? After all, you’re a grown up now and your rewards should reflect this.


Ideas include:



Treat yourself to your favorite pastry or specialty coffee that you resist indulging in regularly.


Get a shirt or hat custom embroidered or screen printed (it’s actually fairly inexpensive to do this) that reflects your successes. For example, your hat may sport a self-created logo for your goal, to be worn while actively engaged in goal-achievement activities. Or a shirt may have a message like “Ask me about my success!” to encourage others to help you pat yourself on the back.


Give yourself a motivational award. Businesses do this all the time with “Employee of the Month” mugs and recognition pins, certificates, gift pen sets, etc. These items are available fairly inexpensively at motivation gift stores and websites. Even better, present it to yourself at a fancy dinner (in or out) complete with a short acceptance speech thanking all the “little people” (your friends and family who are dining with you) that made it all possible. Want more fun? Do this for every major milestone on the way to your success!


Purchase some brightly colored window paint markers (available at any auto-parts store or department) and paint inspiring or congratulatory slogans, such as “Oh yeah, who’s your daddy!” or “I’m number 1!” on the windows of your home and or vehicle, where you will see them often. Bonus points for painting it big enough to read from across the street – on the big picture window out front!


Buy a face painting or temporary tattoo kit (henna works also) and tattoo yourself with congratulatory or inspirational messages. Better yet, become your biggest fan and paint your whole face up, sports-fan style, in your favorite colors – and root for the home team (that’s you) all day long.


Decorate a special dessert (cake, dessert pizza, big cookie, etc) in a congratulatory or inspirational theme with icing, sprinkles, etc. Set your creation in front of your plate to admire all through dinner.


Create a boosting, “rah-rah” set of email messages (or just one that repeats) and load them into an auto-responder mailing program. There are many available on the web, and some are free (their ads appear in your email). “Opt in” to this self-created newsletter of support and at pre-determined intervals, you’ll find these little “fun-sized candy bars for the soul” in your inbox.

Mesothelioma Cancer a Rare Cancer

April 26th, 2009, 4:22 pm

Mesothelioma is a scarce cancer of the tissue that lines people’s inside organs. Almost two thousand brand new cases are diagnosed every year in the whole US. From this group, aroundthree fourths of instances affect the sac around the lungs, referred to as the pleura. This type of cancer is called pleural mesothelioma. In nearly ten to 20 percent of cases, malignant mesothelioma might involve the tissue that encloses abdomen organs, named the peritoneal membrane, causing what is then referred to as peritoneal mesothelioma.

Introduction to asbestos is positively the main risk factor for this rare aliment. After asbestos exposure, the time to progression of the mesothelioma disease could be 20 to 40 years. Because of occupational introduction, cancer of the mesothelium is almost three times more common in men, than in females. Because the mass of instances moves upward with your age, there are about 10 times more occurrences in the men more than age 64 than in the males in their thirties.

Getting Malignant mesothelioma is a weighty disease, that, at the current moment, has a incredibly poor rate of overall continuance. Although, if it is pinpointed soon, regimens are then available that will considerably extend the patient’s life. New therapies continue to be and are being tested by the way of clinical trials.

You’ve got your recording (or songwriting) contract in hand and everything’s coming up roses, right? You get your check, finally, but it’s not quite what you expected. If you sign not knowing what’s owed you then you might be shorted some well-deserved income. So make sure that anything you sign contains a statement to the following areas (preferably in your favor):

Performing Rights – this means you get a chunk of the change when your songs are played over the radio, television, Internet and at some public venues like concerts and such. And who keeps tabs on this? Check out ASCAP-http://www.ascap.com/index.html, SESAC- http://www.sesac.com/home.asp and BMI- http://www.bmi.com.

Mechanical Rights – This is the most commonly known. It includes anything physical such as tapes, CDs, etc. The Harry Fox Agency is nearly 80 years old and for artists with 2500 or less recordings they can learn more at http://www.songfile.com/ regarding small licensing.

Print Rights – Exactly that – anything in print like lyrics or sheet music.

Foreign Rights – Again, anything that deals with foreign publishing and licensing.

Synchronization Rights – Ever heard a Garth Brooks or Rolling Stone song in a movie or television show? That’s synchronization and it can mean big bucks although some artists overlook this very important right when signing.

If you fail to have some or all of these areas covered when signing a contract it can mean the loss of big money for you. If you can afford it hire only the best entertainment attorney to handle your contracts. A good attorney can be expensive, especially if he has to do all the legwork but you can save time and money by looking into products such as the 101 Music Business Contracts software at http://www.MusicContracts101.com . This easy to use, contracts creation software features over 100, professionally drafted, music business contracts and agreements. As with any contract you sign – be it a house loan or a recording contract – it’s best to have an attorney look the documents over before doing a final signing. However, a great money saver is arming yourself with knowledge, like 101 Music Business Contracts, before you ever set foot in a law firm.

My acquaintance Shaun contacts me on the phone to tell me that he has found some on-line gambling internet sites that I must have to see. I have never really been big into gambling, but I figured O.K., I may give it a trial run. Therefore I tried out some poker and blackjack, only truthfully, they simply aren’t my thing. So I see these on-line e-lottery websites and I figure that over cyberspace I can play lots of several lotteries around the world. Instantly to me this appears a lot more fun, therefore I guess I may give it a test. Firstly I tried out my luck at euro lottery, you know a European lottery. I picked my lottery numbers and anticipated and dreamt that I will win it big. I didn’t on that event only when the euro lottery results came out; I was highly surprised to realise that I had actually come very close to the winning lottery numbers. I tried out a few other lotteries, only I felt that I had come so near the first time on the euro lotto, that I simply had to give it another go. Now to date, I have not won a bucket load of dollars, but, I have won some money, and so I continue to play the euro millions and picking elottery numbers, going for the big break. I am one of those souls who like to think in the possibility of winning it big, because it is tough to think making that sort of money any other way.

As for my friend, he still stays on with his passion of online gambling and finds himself at the online casino for at least 60 minutes a day. He too has won some money, but it is up and down and the difference is, when you lose at gambling you normally lose a good deal but when you lose at the lotto, it doesn’t cost you very much. I think that the lottery is the only path for me to go foreward plus the notion of hitting the jackpot and on top of that, it’s only costing me simply a couple of bucks “makes it all more appealing”.

Vernal Equinox History and Traditions

April 24th, 2009, 1:25 am

From a technical standpoint the Vernal Equinox is an astronomical event, it’s one of the four quadrature days of the Earth’s orbit. However for people both modern and ancient, the Vernal Equinox marked the transition from winter into spring. The Vernal Equinox occurs on March 20th or 21st and is one of two days during the year when there are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, the other day is the Autumnal Equinox.

People have been marking and celebrating the Vernal Equinox for thousands of years. The Great Sphinx which was constructed over 4500 years ago on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, faces due east on the Vernal Equinox. The monoliths located at Stonehenge, which are estimated to be over 3000 years old, mark the position of the rising sun on the Vernal Equinox. In Central America the Ancient Mayan Caracol Tower and Temples of the Sun and Moon also have alignments that coincide with the sun’s position on the Vernal Equinox.

Most historians believe that this knowledge was important to ancient cultures in choosing a time to plant their crops. In Iran they celebrate Norouz (which roughly translates to “new day”) on the Vernal Equinox. In China they celebrate Chunfen on the Vernal Equinox. In ancient Europe they celebrated the arrival of the goddess of spring Ostara on this day. Ostara was also known as Ostera and Eostre in different parts of Europe. Many historians believe the Christian holiday Easter gets its name from Eostre, as she had an enchanted rabbit that could lay eggs. In more modern times the Vernal Equinox marked the first Earth Day celebration in 1971.

One of the odd traditions that that occur on the Vernal Equinox is egg balancing. The story goes that it is possible to balance a raw egg on its oblong end on this day. There is no truth to this rumor it’s just as easy (or hard) to balance an egg on its end on this day as it is any other day. This story is perpetuated by the media who usually run a small segment on it, during news shows on this day.
