Everyone wants to be happy in their marriages. One of the most important keys to a happy marriage is good communication. Another key is that an appropriate amount of time be spent focusing on the relationship.Time spent in effective communication depends largely on the ability to be a good listener and to convey that to your partner. Good listening skills are important to any relationship. "Active listening", or "reflective listening",...more
There seems to exist an amazing "something" or mysterious form of energy in nature called "prana" by most yogic traditions and "chi" by certain eastern philosophies. Yogis and mystics have been aware of some rather sublime facts of nature long before western science ever acknowledged such things. Today, only the frontier scientists and physicists seem to acknowledge the existence of finer forms of matter not detected in the atom smasher, which...more
Large bodies of water seem to contain this prana and I feel that it must be, like water, a major and very important "building block" of who we are, otherwise we would not be so pleasantly sensitive to its existence as a source of blessing and nourishment to our souls and as such a powerful and perhaps necessary source of energy for our bodies. Prana is a vital part of yoga; it is the energy that transforms and enlightens every portion of one's being and a source of great happiness.There are even people who are seriously attempting to live on what they refer to as "pranic nourishment" which in itself deserves a whole book on the subject. Some even have claimed to achieve this very amazing thing called "breatharianism". I, however, tend to believe that only those of the most advanced degree of spiritual development can be born with or achieve such an incredible feat as actually being able to thrive quite healthily and happily without any food whatsoever for a very long time.Another very significant and interesting thing that can happen while fully infused with prana is the suspension of breath along with the state of consciousness called samadhi of which there are various types and...more
Prana not as Restricted to the Arrow of Time as Material EnergyWhile all of the events of physical reality are severely limited to very restrictive laws of nature and must be perfectly aligned along a linear arrow of time from which there is no escape, prana seems to exhibit a remarkable freedom from all these physical limitations. Even though...more

What is all matter really made of?Astronomers say dark energy comprises 70% of the universe, while 26% is dark matter (90% of all matter in the universe) and only the remaining 4% is actual physical matter we...more
Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3 (NASU), "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" and then a couple of verses later (John 3:5 NASU) clarifies his statement when he says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."This passage has greatly troubled people over the years to the extent that many have just come to accept that which is religiously correct (political correctness in the field of the Christian religion) feeling it is a subject that is just a little too deep for them. The real problem lies not in the difficulty of the passage but rather with theologians, scholars, commentators, and religious leaders (preachers included) who are unwilling to accept the obvious import of the passage.People often fail to understand Bible passages not because of their difficulty but rather due to prejudice, closed minds. Why was Jesus never accepted by the majority of the Jews of his time? Why was Jesus crucified? Was it not prejudice, was it not for the mind set that said it is impossible to interpret the scriptures in a way that makes this man the Messiah?While I want to...more
