This blog is more than an account of Near Death Experiences. It ponders in detail the tough questions of life. Who are you, and why are you here in this physical world? What happens when you die, and is there a judgment? However, most anything could appear here. This is not a news blog, archived posts are just as relevant as new posts.

Meditation is listening to silence. It is clearing your mind of the clutter left by expectations, worry, and fear to bring into focus the peace that is yours for the asking. Meditation doesn’t have to be formal. It can be done anytime there’s a lull in your daily routine. Make it a practice to empty your thoughts, and rest in the stillness for a few moments. If you find it difficult to empty your mind, then replace the thoughts you have with one more appealing to you. A sail ship slowly making way on still water. A gentle wind moving through a lush green forest. A person you love. Whatever brings you to peace. Meditation is a path of balance, use it often.
“Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.”
Benjamin Franklin, American printer,
writer, philosopher, scientist and inventor, 1706-1790
Evolve, to open out gradually to the view or understanding, become known.
Everything, including yourself is unfolding before you. Who knows what the next fold will bring, maybe something expected and maybe not. Life is a mystery, don’t take things for granted. Assumptions have no place here. Our lot is to watch with loving care the evolution of ourselves. So many today leap to conclusions before the whole is known. Unfolding teaches us the whole can never be known, so move through life as a child in a toy factory. Laughing, playing and learning all about ourselves.
“Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.”
Ray Bradbury, American science-fiction,
short stories, and novels writer, 1920.
To gain knowledge or understanding of, or skill in, by study, instruction, or experience.
Learning does not stop with formal education. It begins. The more you learn the wiser you become, the more knowledge the more understanding, and this leads to a better life for you. Learning starts with natural curiosity, it enhances spiritual and emotional growth. If you find you dislike something or someone, then learn all you can about what you dislike. Knowledge will soften your thoughts and allow you to think clearly. Learn something new everyday, read a book, peruse a magazine, watch a documentary on television. Keep your natural curosity glowing brightly for the rest of your life.
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”
Anthony J. D’Angelo, Founder of The Collegiate EmPowerment Company
and creator of The Inspiration Book Series.
Relative degree of plentifulness.You are worthy of abundance. Abundance does not necessarily mean wealth, it can mean happiness, health, or the creation of beauty. We are not meant to live in poverty of any kind, but sometimes our world perception isn’t accurate, and our thoughts lead us down the “poor path.” Start today assessing your abundance. Count up your talents, friendships, knowledge, and wisdom. Give thanks for what you have, and affirm more is coming. Love plays a major role in abundance. Cultivate a loving state of mind. Remember, helping others is a short cut to helping yourself.
“Life in abundance comes only through great love.”
Elbert Hubbard, American editor,
publisher and writer, 1856-1915
