Even Gardens Do Not Take That Long to Grow
Rebecca

Many people compare manifesting your dreams and goals to planting and harvesting a garden. However, gardens do not take that long to grow. You till the soil, plant the seeds, cover them, and then water the seeds. Some people even use MIRACLE GROW to speed up the growth process and to enrich the soil. It does not take 10 to 25 years to grow a garden!

People who are trying to manifest the lives they desire are often told to think of their life as a garden. This is true to a certain point — gardens do not take that long to grow! Telling people this can dampen their spirits because theoretically gardens do not take that long to grow.

Yes, in order to manifest your desires, you must “plant the seeds of your desires.” You must cultivate a positive and powerful mind-set and keep tending to your “desire garden.” But, how long does it take before you see results? Some people see results straight-away, some people do not. What does this mean? They’re cultivating a powerful, positive mind-set. So why does it take so long?

Maybe the universe is trying to find the right people to come into your life. Perhaps they are not in your area — they could be thousands miles away from where you live. This is where patience comes into play. Yes, it is a virtue!

A garden does not take that long to grow. If you want to manifest your desires in your life do the following. First, till your “mental soil” — clear out the weeds — strangling your mind. You must have a clean mind before you can plant your desires. Second, plant your seeds of desires. Finally, let your desires go and grow within your mental garden. This is where people (including myself) get tripped up. Sometimes we get in our own way. Let go and let the “powers at be” (God, universe, spirit, or whatever name you give to a higher power) do its job and bring to you that which you desire. Think of it this way — it’s one less thing on your to do list!

What Happens to the Planet After We’re Gone?
Rebecca

The History Channel is airing a television program titled Life After People. What a great title! This is an interesting and intriguing program. Unfortunately, structures such as the Eiffel Tower, Sears Tower, The Golden Gate Bridge, and others will crumble. This is too bad.

Life After Man begs the question: whose fault is it that man will destroy himself and everything around him? Is it God’s fault? Where is God in all of this? After all, he’s the one that is responsible for creating man, isn’t he? Shouldn’t he have put a stop to all of the destruction that man has done? Then again, some people believe we all have “God like” qualities within us. So maybe it is just our fault. This may seem controversial, but it’s something to ponder.

It seems quite fitting that items such as styrafoam cups will outlast man. It’s ironic that this man made creation will be around longer than man. Even plastic will outwit, outlast, and outplay man! Talk about being a true survivor!

Life after man may be paradise. It’s sad to say but it’s true. Mother Nature, Father and Mother God, wildlife, some domestic animals, and wildlife may have a big party. After all, if species have evolved over time, who says they need man around to hold down the fort. As the program states, our closest relative the ape aka gorillas will take over planet Earth and it will literally be The Planet of the Apes!

What do you think about Life After People? Do you think is possible?

What Are the Real Reasons You’re Overweight?
Rebecca

Many people are overweight. This season of The Biggest Loser has the largest contestants on it. Mike, an 18-year old kid is the youngest player ever to be on The Biggest Loser. He tipped the scales at close to 390 lbs! Jillian and Bob do a good job by helping the people get to the “root or core” of their weight. This is the key. Being overweight has nothing to do with the fat around your belly, it has to do with what is on the inside of you.

For example, Mike discovered that he has a lot of anger towards his father Ron. Mike could not understand why his father would not do something about his weight so he could be an example to his kids. Mike’s mom was also overweight, but did something about it seven or eight years ago.

Luckily for Mike, Ron took full responsibility and welcomed his son’s anger. This is very rare. Kudos to Ron for stepping up and owning his part in his son’s battle with weight.

Reasons you’re overweight

  • Too much on your “shoulders” — everyone depends on you.
  • You are comforting yourself because you’re not feeling loved.
  • You feel that it’s hopeless to lose the weight.
  • You don’t have support of family and friends.
  • Afraid that people will not accept the new you.
  • You may feel unworthy.

The key to successful weight loss is to find out the WHY and WHAT of your weight. Why are you carrying the extra weight? What is holding your back from losing it? Why haven’t you taken the time to focus on you? What do you have to lose besides the weight?

When you decide to lose the weight, do it for the right reasons. The number one reason is YOU! It’s great if you want to lose weight because you want to be around for your kids, but if you do not do the “inner work” first, what’s the point of losing weight? You’ll just gain the weight back! Do the inner work first and then create a plan to lose the weight in order to reach your goal of freedom!

Curious about Cellular Memory and Past Lives
Rebecca

What happens if you transplant a heart from one human being to another? Is it possible that the cellular memory from the person’s donated heart will transfer to its new owner? This may sound like science fiction to some people, but there have been documented cases about cellular memory.

Cellular Memory and Organ Transplants

Here’s an excerpt from Candace Pert, author of Molecules of Emotion: Why You Feel the Way You Feel, says, “…Memories are stored not only in the brain, but in a psychosomatic network extending into the body . . . all the way out along pathways to internal organs and the very surface of our skin.”

Pert suggests thoughts and memories still remain at the unconscious level. They can, however, become conscious, thus making it possible of a physiological connection between your memories, organs and mind.

Is it possible that you can take on the emotions and thoughts of a person’s heart or liver that was put into your body? The following is from San Francisco Medicine, “…Paul Pearsall, MD, a psychoneuroimmunologist and author of The Heart’s Code, has researched the transference of memories through organ transplantation. After interviewing nearly 150 heart and other organ transplant recipients, Pearsall proposes the idea that cells of living tissue have the capacity to remember.”

Cellular Memory and Past Lives

Cellular memory is can be defined as whatever happen in our lives is recorded within the cells of our body. If you experience anger, body pain, or unhappiness, these would be recorded within the cells of your body. Some people take this concept further — believing that you carry with you the pain of previous lives. Past lives are another hot, controversial topic. Some people believe in them, some don’t. It’s a personal belief.

If we are made up of individual cells, wouldn’t make sense that these living and breathing organism contain memory? Many people would say yes — skeptics will say no. Perhaps we will not know for sure until we depart this Earth, but it’s something to think about if you’re feeling “off” within your body. Maybe it’s not the “present you” that is feeling anger or pain. Perhaps the “previous you” from another lifetime is wreaking havoc on your current life.

Do you believe in cellular or organ memory? Why? Why not?

Non-Americans Take Jobs away from Americans
Rebecca

Recently, many Americans have lost their jobs for one reason or another. Is it fair that non-Americans, who cannot stand Americans or our culture, continue to stay in this country with their job? Not only are these people in our workforce, but they take advantage of our college and universities.

When you spend time with non-Americans and they bad mouth the way Americans dress or speak, it takes a lot to be polite to them. You may choose to swallow your pride just to get through dinner. These people may say to you, “sorry, I don’t mean to offend you.” Are they kidding? They’re sitting pretty in technical jobs while Americans, born and raised are losing their jobs.

Americans constantly receive backlash from other countries for being rude and ignorant. What’s that saying about “the pot calling the kettle black?”

If you’re a non-American who cannot stand America, why are you here? America is not the only industrialized nation in the world! There’s Canada, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Ireland and other countries. You can pick up and leave the U.S. at anytime.

It would behoove companies such as Intel to make sure that they hire Americans before non-Americans. It does not reflect well on the company that they hire or hired non-Americans who have nothing but ugly comments about the U.S.

If you’re a non-American with a green card living in the U.S., hopefully you appreciate the U.S. We may not be a perfect country or have resolved our issues, but at least we provide people with freedom of speech, the right to vote (men and women), and many other freedoms. If you do not like the U.S., get out and give your job to an American that can use it!

Do you work with non-Americans that bad mouth the U.S.? How do you feel about it?
