Watching or reading the news today is like<br />
watching a horror show! Everywhere<br />
we turn all that is heard is what is wrong with<br />
everyone else.<br />
From arguing politics, to expressing serious intolerance for another’s<br />
beliefs, including the dreadful word, hate. Wars, despair and death are<br />
now the common denominator of what we all hear and see every single<br />
day.<br />
The question now becomes, what can be done to change the<br />
mindsets of intolerance to one of tolerance? Is it possible for one person<br />
to change the world?<br />
In some rare cases, yes - such as the late Mother Teresa and I’m sure<br />
some others. But the real question one should be asking is what can<br />
you do about it?<br />
The answer is not as complex as one may think. Intolerance or<br />
tolerance comes from within each of us and is reflected in the manner<br />
we conduct our lives and attitudes every day.<br />
You may not be able to change the world but, you can change your<br />
world! Every contact you make with another person can have a positive<br />
or negative impact.<br />
By choosing to be courteous and friendly (even to those you don’t<br />
know) the impact can and will have a positive cascading effect on<br />
everyone else he/she comes in contact with. One side effect is that being<br />
positive enrichens your life.<br />
Imagine that? A life lived instead of endured.<br />
If more and more of us conduct ourselves with a more respectful<br />
attitude toward each other, sooner or later, the news may become more<br />
uplifting. But, until and if we change our mindsets to embrace that<br />
kind of behavior, nothing will change for the better!<br />

Karma Clearing<br />
By: Ali Guggenheim / Psychic Phenomenon<br />
Ironically, you don’t get punished for your sins.<br />
They punish you since what you do unto others,<br />
(good or bad) comes back to bite you tenfold.<br />
In the West, Karma means “cause and effect.” In the East, however,<br />
Karma comprises three (some ideologies say four) components:<br />
Prabodha Karma embodies the physical senses. It is also partially<br />
connected to Sanchita Karma, which past Karmas manifest. Our<br />
current actions and decisions fuel the Agami Karma.<br />
Karma is our teacher who forces us to experience what we do to<br />
others. Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same<br />
mind that created it.” Karma begins with intentions.<br />
Clearing your Karma starts with your willingness to refine your<br />
thoughts and attitude to observe your situation from a different<br />
perspective. Only<br />
then will you be<br />
able to watch<br />
and understand<br />
the repercussions<br />
of your actions.<br />
But can Karma<br />
be forgiven?<br />
Karmas’<br />
symbol is the<br />
endless knot,<br />
representing the eternal interlinking of cause and effect. It is a unilateral<br />
experience that you cannot wish away. The only way to dissolve it is<br />
through knowledge, which leads to awareness and understanding, and<br />
then you will want to make changes.<br />
The intensity of each experience always depends on the extremity<br />
of thoughts and actions perpetuated. It also intensifies each time with<br />
perpetual offenses. While it is human to err, moving forward with<br />
remorse helps you be a better person and minimizes any new Karma<br />
when acting accordingly.<br />
To minimize the effects of your past bad Karma, you must<br />
1. Scan your life. Pay attention to recurring obstacles and patterns,<br />
i.e., regrets, relationships, financial, physical, and mental issues, etc.<br />
2. Eliminate toxic people.<br />
3. Take responsibility for your mistakes.<br />
4. Nurture your soul.<br />
5. Defy and challenge your weaknesses.<br />
6. Choose your words wisely.<br />
7. Design new actions according to Karmic Law including:<br />
a. Be grateful for every experience, both the good and the bad.<br />
b. Act with love towards everyone no matter what they’ve done.<br />
c. Check your motives and ensure they come from a place of love<br />
for yourself and others AND.<br />
Watch your attitude because negative thoughts create angry energy<br />
directed at you.<br />
