 The temperature in this part of the year was always extremely high and it was difficult for the man to support himself during this period. Since water prices were at the peak, this man thought he found a brilliant solution and decided to lower his costs by reducing the amount of water he would give to his hard-working camel. He put the plan into life and his loyal camel seemed just a little bit more tired, nothing that would worry the man. For the next week camel received even less than before, thus becoming slightly slower but still carrying goods as usual. The man already managed to save quite a few coins and happily continued this plan by reducing his companion’s water rations even further. Camel got weak and tired and his breathing was very heavy but the man could only see his growing savings. Then one day, while on the way, camel collapsed and died of dehydration and his master, crying said: “Now when my loyal friend almost got used to going without water, it died.”
When this man’s wife heard about it she said: “How could you expect your camel to support you if you failed to support him in the first place?”
This story shows how many friendships die..because one side takes this relationship for granted, ignorant of other person’s feelings . People often dream about love, affection, understanding..and they suffer in silence. True and loyal friend would not measure strength of friendship through lack of complaint he/she receives. It does not happen often that a person can say: “I have many true friends”..we may be really lucky if there are just a few people who can be called like this. I believe that we come to this world with the purpose of developing consciousness to the highest level possible and so we are born in conditions that would allow us to grow and learn. People that we meet and relationships which we create are part of that learning process and therefore are very important as they serve as ground for growing and improving. For this reason we should try to keep harmonious relations as those will bring best fruit. Marriages, friendships, alliances are the strongest when they are the most harmonious, where giving and receiving is equally distributed. If we are unsure about a particular relationship then we can easily use our own inner capabilities to verify the situation. Firstly, listen to your inner voice, intuition, higher-self..ask questions: Am I going in the right direction with this person? Are we both benefiting? Are the energies balanced or am I under control? See how you feel about it..do you enjoy being in this person’s company, can you easily and freely exchange thoughts and opinions, do you feel comfortable together, can you be fully yourself or do you play roles to sustain this relation. Finally, you need to remember that good relations are not just forming out of nowhere, we have to work at them and do it out of free will. If you need to fight for it then probably it is not any good and will bring more pain than happiness.
 All of us (almost) would like the world to become a better place to live in. We are aware of poverty and hunger which is present in every place on Earth. We are aware of violence and lack of tolerance. But what do each of us..I mean, every individual do personally in order to change something? Do you really participate in the process of change or are you only observing and hoping that someone else will take responsibility for the burden of this planet?
Improve the world by changing yourself for better
The best place to start with positive changes is You. You create what surrounds you so if each of us, one by one begin to shift our perception, concentrate on peace and helping others, replace hatred with love then guess what..the reality of the whole planet will shift with us. You can argue by saying: that it’s very unlikely that population of billions of people will suddenly become enlightened and work together for the common goal..yes, you can say that..but in this instance you fail to realise that it doesn’t have to happen straight away in 2 days..what is the most important is that YOU begin and then others by looking at you and learning from your example will start to open their minds and notice what they overlooked before. Become the trigger in the reality that surrounds you and push it forward for better Earth. What exactly can be done for this shift to manifest?
Be more tolerant
Improving this sphere of our lives is essential if we want positive changes to occur and remain. What do you think and feel, how do you react when you see a Goth, Hippie, Punk, Gay, Lesbian, Black, Jew, Asian, White, Mexican? If their presence, looks, mere existence is bothering you then there is already something to improve within yourself. Everybody can dress the way they want to, socialise with people they want to, listen to whatever music they like to listen, they can be any race and any colour of skin. If that bothers you, makes you angry, provokes you to make some stupid comments…then you are acting like a closed-minded, under-developed fool and such approach is the reason of suffering of many on this planet. Therefore I encourage you to re-evaluate your belief system and broaden your perception..we may be different outside but we are all equal..you are not better than me and I am not any way better than you. Even if a person is less developed/less conscious than you.. that person’s life is still worth as much as yours and deserves your respect.
Be more forgiving
When someone hurts you with words or behaviour do not create a vengeance plan straight away. Understand that this person may not be fully aware of what he’s/she’s saying or doing. Step up and forgive. It will not only make you feel better but will also prevent conflict. Use your intelligence and wit to resolve a problem, not aggression. After all, your true-self cannot be harmed, in most cases it is only your ego that feels to be under attack and then tries to defend itself to preserve its identity. Do not get stuck in the past, feeling resentment towards someone and bringing memories back whenever there is an opportunity. If needed, separate from the source of pain but forgive and let your mind relax.
Be more considerate
Understand the needs of others and respect those needs. Do not just close yourself in your own world, focusing on egoistic desires but interact and create reality which does not harm all around you. If you share a flat with other people then remember to clean after yourself, do not close yourself in the bath for half of the day, turn the heater off in your room when you’re leaving the flat, put the music down a little.
If you are a driver then keep in mind that not everybody has such great driving skills as you and people tend to make mistakes, there’s no reason to get irritated or even furious in some situations.
Make your woman warm and safe if you’re planning some action  , don’t just jump on her like a horny gorilla (unless she likes and expects that hehe). Make your man feel wanted and needed..support and advise him wisely. Simply, keep in mind that there are other beings apart from you and it’s ten times more beneficial for everybody to cooperate than compete.
Do not forget about the planet you live on, it’s not just a piece of rock..it’s a living thing..think of it as your home. Do you throw garbage around your house? Do you go around the rooms with a hammer making holes in the walls? Do you take shit on your own carpet? Earth is your home..never disregard it.
Help, Support and Encourage
If you see that someone could use your assistance then do not hesitate and help out. If your friend has got a great idea but lacks some motivation or self-belief then do not think twice and boost his/her confidence by saying something supportive, giving valuable advice, offering guidance. Make use of your skills, knowledge and energy and share it with those that need it. The more help you give, the more help you will receive when required.
Think for yourself
Do not let others tell you what to think and believe, decide for yourself. Newspapers and television can be a very dangerous tool of manipulation if you surrender to their power of influence. Politicians may seem convincing in their speech but how often they turn out to be deceiving jokers who only seek wealth and control. Analyse what you hear and see, keep your mind open and aware, make independent decisions about your current and future life. You have a choice of shaping this world consciously and responsibly..listen to intuition and look within..there you will find wisdom.
 Since I became interested in personal development and spiritual growth I have always wondered what will happen when I die. What awaits me on the other side, will everything suddenly become black and silent, will my consciousness remain and if yes then in what form, will I be able to see, feel, think..generally how will I perceive what surrounds me..if I do not cease to exist completely that is…
Some personal background
I was born in a Catholic family and my parents are strongly religious so I was brought up in the Catholic faith. I used to attend the church every Sunday, pray to God before going to sleep and usually follow all the rules associated with this religion. I think that my faith was quite strong at that time, let’s say between I was 7-14 years old..then it gradually began to diminish as my mind and thinking processes started to developed more independently and I was no longer a “sponge” that would absorb everything without filtering it first. I slowly started to question the Catholic description of life after death as being either a beautiful paradise where I will remain in peace for eternity or a dreadful hell where I will burn and suffer to redeem all my sins. I also supported my thinking with literature which suddenly opened my eyes and felt much more credible than Sunday preaching from the priest. Eventually I made a conscious decision that I want to brake away from religion and its beliefs and look for answers in less manipulative conditions.
Finding answers
I was all over the internet looking for information and other people’s experiences, I went through numerous books, audio recordings and videos..curious about the purpose of life and meaning of death. I meditated, analysed, meditated again and after all those years I still cannot produce a 100% certain conclusion. However, what I can produce is a point of view which for me seems credible enough to believe in it. It is also much more logical than Biblical version of life after death and it does not inflict fear or guilt in you. It is not my final opinion and probably will never be until my time is over and I get to experience death myself.
When one life ends, another one is born
I came to a belief that death is only an end to one journey and start of a new one. I am strongly convinced that our physical bodies only serve as vehicles for consciousness/soul and that as soon as the body dies you will remain in the spiritual world and then will inhabit a new body to set off for a different journey. It is difficult for me to say if this transition into new life is going to happen abruptly or maybe it will take some “earthly” time but this is not really so important. What about death itself then…
In one of the sources I encountered, the author suggests that he was taken by the outer race and spent 9 days on their highly spiritually developed planet where he had the chance to experience his past lives as well as receive knowledge about the reasons of life, death and many more fascinating aspects of the Universe. This book is called “Thiaoouba Prophercy” and is really worth reading as its content is incredibly valuable. So, what we are told in the book is that the ultimate purpose of existence is spiritual development and just to clarify, it does not include any religions. The purpose is to develop in such a way that people will unite, permanently end conflicts, understand the illusion of money and materialistic approach, create love and happiness, remove prejudice and share peace everywhere, for everyone. But to get to that point our consciousness needs to improve and for some it may take literally ages. Supposedly planet Earth is one of those with the lowest level of spiritual and the highest level of materialistic thinking. The author claims that there are as much as 9 levels of spiritual growth and that to get there we need to advance through each of those and because the task may be challenging it takes hundreds of lives to achieve. Therefore if you manage to progress higher you will reborn again on a planet more suitable for your new stage of awareness, if not then you will have to re-take some of the life lessons until you become ready. It sounds a bit like a school, where you have to acquire certain knowledge and understanding in order to advance to the next class. Much more could be said about the purpose of life and its mysteries but I would like to keep that for another time to keep you focused on the topic of reincarnation.
What about the “Biblical” story of heaven and hell?
I do not intend to insult anyone but for me personally it is ridiculous. Am I supposed to believe that upon death I will cross the gates of heaven or depths of hell, depending on my general behaviour on Earth..which will be evaluated by God who in his unconditioned love will either grant me eternal life in paradise or strike me down to burn forever and feel the whip of the Satan? I sincerely doubt it..When I deeply think about it and analyse this possibility it does not feel right at all..and I would rather trust my intuition and inner understanding than the tool of mass control which in my point of view is any religion.
Final thoughts on living and dying
This is one of those topics where the answer is not straight forward and easy. It requires a lot of inner dialogue, open-mindedness and reflection. On the other hand there is a vast number of books and personal experience reports relating to this subject, so we may support our conclusions on these publications. If you would like to share your own experience then please do so and add a comment below. I would be happy to know your point of view. All in all, everyone can believe whatever one wishes..I choose an open-ended option.
 Knowing about something is one thing, knowing how to apply this knowledge is another. I will show you some easy steps that may be taken in order to give your intentions a higher rate of success. These techniques are really simple and should not cause too much difficulty, especially if you are serious about getting proper results.
Focus your thoughts around intention
If you really want something, you often think about it. That’s the first step which needs to be taken if your intention is to manifest. That new car caught your eye..think about it, think how nice it is to drive it, how comfortable it is when you sit inside.
Someone is causing you trouble..think you would like to be left alone, how great it is to be left in peace, not to be disturbed.
You wish more peace for the world..think about it..keep your thoughts positive and focus on peace.
This first step is fairly easy as most of us already apply it without even realising it..every time we want something, we think about it.
Keep these thoughts in mind
Do not let them vanish completely..let them follow you wherever you are, send a clear signal that this is what you desire. Do not allow yourself to doubt and lose faith.
Start believing that your intentions have already manifested
Switch your thoughts a little..you no longer wish for your desires to materialize, you already know that they did. Start thinking about how pleasant it is that what you wanted happened. Keep all doubt away and think about the end result, know that your wish has been granted.
Visualise, be grateful and feel it
Imagine it vividly in your mind..close your eyes and let yourself enter this new reality where what you desired is now part of your life. Open up to emotions and let them appear..feel this new state of reality..be thankful to yourself and the forces of the Universe for making your wish come true. Do it often..repeat this process..visualise, feel it, be grateful. Reach the level of certainty that what you see in your mind is the actual reality of your life.
See this car in your garage, feel the comfort inside, look around it, put your hands on the wheel…drive…get some friends on the way, feel it happening, be happy, believe it.
Visualise peaceful earth, notice that wars end and human race unites to become friends and allies again. See hungry as well fed and healthy, poor as living in abundance..appreciate this new world and believe.
Let others know
Inform other people about your manifestations. Tell them that this and that became a reality. If what you desired seems too much then give yourself a time limit within which your wish will be delivered. You have to know that this car, house, love, friendship, deal has already been given to you..that decision has been made and it no longer awaits approval..it is materializing now and soon will arrive. Believe in it like you believe that your order on Ebay has been processed and the package is on its way. It’s already yours..it just hasn’t arrived yet, but will very soon.
Tell your friends and family that you have received what you wanted, if you had a clear vision of how it appeared then describe it to them as well. Plant a seed in their minds which will grow in their sub-consciousness.
When I wanted to pass my final College exams I visualised 2 questions out of 100 and I imagined the way I would pick them..first envelope from the right. I was certain it is going to happen…then I was certain it already happened..I told my friends and family that I took the 1st set of questions from right and there I found what I wished for. I went for my exams and got exactly what I already knew that would happen.
Know you deserve it
It is essential that you have no reservations, doubts or feelings of being unworthy / undeserving of your wish. Sometimes those feelings may lie deeper within you. Unless you remove them it may be more difficult or even impossible for your intentions to manifest. How can you drive this new, shiny car if deep inside you know that you don’t deserve it..that your current vehicle is all you can achieve..How do you want peace to dominate wars when you still keep prejudice towards others and curse other nations? How can someone fall in love with you if you cannot even love yourself? If there is an inner conflict in you then resolving it is the first step you need to take if you want to successfully use the power of manifestation.
I hope this article will be useful to you at least a little bit..as every little bit helps. Let your wish come true..
 There are hundreds of thousands of thoughts going through your mind every day and every single one is a form of energy which goes out to the Universe. I’ve been experimenting with thoughts, intentions and manifestations for quite a while now and I can honestly tell you that what you create in your mind and project outside has a high probability of appearing in your reality, whether it is something positive or negative. For this reason I think it is essential that you start putting more attention into your thoughts patterns, imaginations and emotions associated with them. This tool of controlling reality is freely and easily available to everyone and it would be rather unwise and ignorant not to make use of it. If you would like to read more about my personal experiences then click here.
Quality of Concentration = Quality of Manifestation
If you constantly think about how unlucky, tired, disrespected, unnoticed, undeserving or unattractive you are then this will be exactly what you will get. You will lose if you gamble..you will get plenty of things to do which will make you exhausted..people will disregard and resent you, your boss/partner/[…] will cease to notice you, you will feel unattractive and everybody else will think the same. On the other hand if you suddenly change the way you think and feel about what you think then I am sure things will begin to change for better. Human beings have tremendous power that has been available to us for centuries and now that we finally start realising this truth we need to act on it.
I sometimes catch myself thinking or imagining something which is not beneficial to me. I do not know why I still let my mind wonder like that and focus on negative but it happens. But because I am aware of the consequences that may arise from my thoughts I easily wake up and change my thoughts instantly. If you want to take conscious control over your reality then you need to become fully aware of what appears in your mind, especially when considering something important to you. It is not difficult and it does not require any special preparation or meditation from your side, although it would be a good idea to meditate and observe thoughts from time to time. All you need is willingness to accept your power and responsibility for creating reality that you would sincerely want for yourself.
What about emotions?
Emotions are also extremely important when it comes to manifesting. For example, if you want to attract $50,000 or a loving woman/caring man but deep inside you feel undeserving of your desires then thought itself may not be enough to make your dream happen. Thoughts and emotions should match each other if they are to attract what you want. If you would like more peace for the world but you constantly watch news which show conflicts and sorrow then you automatically erase your positive intentions and emotions and replace them with negative images from television. Remember to listen to what you feel as this will give you a deep insight into yourself and will help you understand reasons for failed manifestations.
Thoughts and Emotions will lead to Actions
Some intentions may manifest even without direct action from your side. They will just happen as a result of focused thought/visualisation and emotion. However, to attract other things you will need to get involved personally. Let’s say you want that wonderful woman or amazing guy to come into your life..you think about it, visualise him/her and feel great about it..and then there comes a day when you meet / have a chance to meet this person. At this stage some action is required..you need to gather some courage and go and speak to him/her..go to that arranged meeting..accept invitation..whatever it is that is needed and you are willing to do..do it. If you are not pleased with your current job and would like new challenge then do not just sit down and visualise your new job but at the same time go and look for it. Search through the newspaper, internet, ask friends, send your CV around..be actively involved in your intention. If you combine those three tools then your chances of success will grow dramatically and you will begin to notice a shift in your reality so profound that it can be overwhelming at the beginning. After some of my most precise manifestations I had the feeling of being omnipotent.
Using this power to harm others
It is definitely possible to do this and attract negative energies into someone else’s life..However I believe that what you emanate with will come back to you with much stronger force. So, if you wish something bad to others then sooner or later you will receive the same or similar but impact of your dark intentions will be much greater and painful. Therefore I would strongly advise not to use it against anyone..but focus only on positive change that will not affect others negatively.
To sum up I would only like to add that life is not a sequence of coincidences and unpredictable events. What surrounds us is a projection of people’s thoughts, emotions and actions..We create this world together and we have a choice of either doing it consciously or not. Do not be a victim of your mind and take an active part in attracting life of your dreams. Also learn how to use your power and let it serve you well.
Remember words of Ghandi as they are the essence of this topic: “Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviours. Keep your behaviours positive because your behaviours become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.”
