Wellbeing & Healing A Mystic’s View About The Universe: Part 2 – The Beginning Of Life by Eliza Mada Dalian In its endless journey of countless experiences, each soul develops its own unique essence, purpose, and direction but always remaining within the Absolute and under the influence of its greater will. After a long process of evolution, the unconscious energy of the soul transforms into conscious energy and now the self-aware soul or being dissolves into its original source — the Absolute.

Books How To Be Happy: Finding A Future In Your Past by Jenny Smedley It’s what everyone wants, isn’t it? To be happy? What people often don’t realise is that there are two kinds of happiness; that which comes from without, and that which comes from within. The second kind is the important one. Happiness that comes from without is dependent on other people and the world you live in. Happiness that comes from within is dependent only upon the world that lives within you. This book shows you how to access your future happiness of the real kind, by discovering your complete evolution, over many lifetimes. Happiness from within can only be activated if you remember what you came here to do. Past lives need to be recalled and healed, so that we can remember what we came here to do.

Spirituality The Role Our Parents Play by Stephen Thomson Who are our parents, but people just like us? In so many ways their life path is our life path. They are in our lives as role models and to show us the way. If we stop to think about it, we start to see how many of the same soul issues and life lessons they share with us. However, our problem rests with the very subtle terms of our expectation that they are Gods or at least God-like. We fail to see then as human and journeying a path, just as we are. Our expectation for them is to be stronger and better than us, when in fact they may be at best just a few steps ahead. Our parents are just another example of how to do it and are mirrors for our soul and karma, no different than we.
