Out of our Hands

And just like that i walked out of his life. Its dark in here, i feel the breeze on my face, I'm sitting here watching the ocean, there are people around me dancing and singing but why do i feel lonely? I'm really trying baby, I'm doing my best not to miss you. Today i told myself i wasn’t allowed to need you anymore, i asked my heart to stop loving you. But why do i still feel this emptiness? My mind cant stop thinking about those moments where i can only see u and i being together and happy. What is there for me to do now? Is this what my life is gonna be from now on? A lonely life without you...i have not only lost the guy i loved but also my best friend. In you i had found the person i longed for my whole life, the simple things about you are the ones i love the most, you brought me comfort and happiness. Now I'm sitting here feeling empty inside, with no hope of ever finding true love the kind that lasts forever, the kind you find for against anything and anyone. However i have chosen to let you go and walk out of your life forever. I need someone who loves me enough to fight for me and to be the only one I need. We've been together for sometime now, spending almost everyday together but I m sorry i can no longer share you with her. I need to let go of you and I guess we will never know if we just let true love slide out of our hands...

Note : Edited by me..this is from a friend

Was I wrong

Was I wrong to love you
Was I wrong to tell you
I thought you needed to know
Why did you disappear from my life
Leaving me feeling so empty, lost and hurt
Only If I knew.....I would have just kept
you as my friend

The Missing Link

The Missing Link

Many times when I was much younger, I used to be so sad & disappointed that mum never cared much for me (at least that’s how I felt at that time). You see I have an elder sister whom is just a year older than me.

I provided quite a lot for my family even being a gal (as most gals are not required to provide for the family in my family circle) so whenever my mum buys clothing for my sister I really feel it. Ok fine, my sister does not earn as high as me but look “I provided financially for the house we are living in”. So why she gets clothing that are hand picked by mum and I never got any since I started to make a living?

Besides the issue of mum buying clothes for my sister every festival season, I had no other problems with either one of them. I love my mum dearly, its just I don’t get it why she can only think of my sis and not me when she buys clothing for the festival season.

I didn’t really stay with my parents back then, I only went back twice in a month to visit them and my sis or mum will share or tell me when mum has bought a new piece of clothing or sis. It always breaks my heart deep inside when I hear & see the new stuff mum has taken the trouble to choose for my sis but there was never any for me.

After my sister got married, I moved in to be with my parents. Mum as usual, being a dotting wife and mother, prepared all out meals and made sure the meals stayed hot for us each day…after all it was just I, dad & mum at home.

Than, one day when I got back from work, mum showed me a dress that she had handpicked just for me. She handed it over to me very hesitantly and said “I thought this would look very nice on you, I thought of you the minute I saw it” and before I can say anything more….she continued “I know u always wear all the branded stuff only, so I am not sure if you will like this dress”……..(Only than it dawned on me why mum never got clothing’s for me all this years since I started to work. Yes I must admit at that time mine clothing’s, undergarments and shoes were all branded stuff! No wonder mum was hesitant, she thought I would look down at the things that she will buy from the morning or the night market sales.)

I looked at the dress it was a simple but very pretty sun dress and yes ‘I loved that dress’. I told mum, it does not matter what I have and what I wear but to get clothing as a gift from her at the age of 25 is still a blessing and a very much appreciated gift. I gave her hug told her that no matter what she buys for me, I will proudly wear it.

Of course I didn’t tell mum how hurt I was all these years when my sister got all the clothing’s from mum and not me…..well words & explanations were not needed anymore cause I knew than that how much mum must have been hurt for not being able to buy things for me, thinking how I would not appreciate it.

So from that day, mum has bought many clothing’s for me, from night wears to maternity dresses to some traditional outfits. If only I had told her from the beginning how I felt, I am sure I would not have missed out the years when only my sister got the clothing’s.

I still get the gift of clothing’s from my mother occasionally.

What is That

A Tribute to Micheal Jackson

Child star who became a living legend (RIP)

Singer Michael Jackson has died after suffering a heart attack at his Los Angeles home.

He found fame as a child star with the Jackson Five and was revered as a living legend all his life by his fans.

The seventh of nine children, he joined his brothers' pop group in 1964 playing tambourine and bongos. The five Jackson boys - Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael - first performed together at a talent show when Michael was six and won first prize.

He took on lead vocals and went on to become a megastar in his own right, his most acclaimed album, Thriller, selling 65m copies.

The star was due to begin a series of comeback concerts with an appearance at London's O2 arena on 13 July.

His biggest hits include I Want You Back, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Billie Jean, Bad, Black or White and Earth Song.

He had a history of health problems and had not completed a concert tour in 12 years.

His music defined more than one generation.

My Inspiration[Moon]

From a very young age I have always been fascinated by the moon. There were folk stories of the moon, lullaby of the moon and to me I always see an old lady in the moon (ha ha ha).

The moon inspires me in many ways, I can just sit & stare at the moon for hours…no thoughts in the mind. Or I can talk & tell stories, share my problems to the moon, it only hears but never answers me back…..so it can be pleasing and yet frustrating. I can smile with the moon and I can also cry with the moon. When I see the moon it reminds me o someone too……memories, nice, sweet & sad once too.

Here I have managed to gather a few images of the moon that I am so fascinated with. I hope people visiting my blog will like it and please please feel free to share your thoughts about the moon here

Some Moon Quotes From Famous People

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.

The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.

But what is it that’s hurting me
Why can’t I point a finger at it?

Tears flow freely & unknowingly
Yet there is no reason for the tears
Am I losing it?
Maybe its just midlife crisis…
How do I get out of this mystery misery?
FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY I THOUGHT OF SUCIDE

Past Life Regression

Came across this article...find it very fasinating for me....just sharing with all whom might have the same interest...


The real soul is birthless, death less, immortal, and infinite. The same real soul, under the spell of ignorance, appears as the apparent man identified with the body, mind and senses. This apparent man becomes, on account of his attachment to the body, a victim of birth and death, virtue and vice, and the other pairs of opposites. The apparent man is bound to the world, and it is he, again, who strives for liberation.

The mysteries of death can never be recorded or proved logically. They can never be reduced to facts and figures. They are such personal experiences that only a few enlightened masters have spoken about their experiences. Unfortunately, they have no certificates. God has not created a university or industry for enlightenment. Only few who have had the experience, share their views with others and only few who felt the energy of the master could take advantage of the science. That is why the mystery of death is unknown to most people.

This science can transform your life. Since you have not understood this mystery, you have missed so many things in life. The secret of death is not a very popular concept in the West because it can never be proved scientifically. Today, a lot of scientists and psychologists are working on the study of NDEs (Near Death Experiences). Thousands of people have experienced it. There is even a website which gives the experiences of nearly 10,000 people. You will be surprised to know that all their experiences are similar. Hypnotherapists adopt the regression method to know more about the past lives of the patients. The patients are hypnotized and taken back in life and lives, often resulting in information on past lives, how they enter into the body and how and when they leave the body. You will see that the findings are very similar to what the Upanishads say about death. So, now, this science is spreading in the West too very fast. Read below for more...........

Regression

Ancient WisdomReincarnation and Past-Life-Regression are not modern concepts. People have believed in reincarnation since ancient times. Since prehistoric times, there have been numerous techniques used to explore past lives. Every religion has an 'inner teaching', and within that inner teaching, reincarnation and its evolutionary implications have been accepted as the universal truth. There is sufficient evidence to show that the Hindus, Ancient Celts, the Egyptians, the Tibetans, and the Hebrew Cabalists etc. used past-life remembrance. Sri Krishna and the Bhagawad Gita: Sri Krishna said in 'The Bhagawad Gita',
"As a man, casting off worn-out garments, takes new ones, so the dweller in the body, casting off worn-out bodies, enters into others that are new". He has also said "The misdeeds of our past lives torment us in the form of illnesses or ailments". From this we understand how all our ailments have their root cause in past-life actions. This is the fundamental principle on which the entire concept of Past-Life-Regression is based.
'Past-Life-Regression' is based on the universal law of cause and effect, which is also known as the Law of Karma. A person's past actions affect his or her present conditions. The effect could be on physical health, emotional condition, mental state or spiritual well-being. A few examples of root causes are: unfulfilled desires, thoughts, feelings, emotions, vows, promises, decisions, evasions or traumatic experiences. The root causes are invariably in the past.

Patanjali Maharishi: The ancient Indian sage Patanjali Maharshi, has done extensive work on Past-Life-Regression. In his yoga sutras Patanjali Maharishi called this process of past-life-regression as 'Prati-Prasav'. It is the process of reabsorbing back to the cause. This means bringing effect back to the cause or the process of involution. When a child is born it is Prasav. Prati-Prasav means you are born again in the memory; you go back to the very birth, the trauma when you were born, and you live it again. If there is something, some trouble, some problem, then we go back to the original source from where it started. Because we can go on trying to solve the problem, but unless we go to the roots it cannot be solved. Effects cannot be solved unless they are forced back to the cause.
For example, if there is an unwanted weed and we go on cutting the branches and the leaves in an attempt to remove the weed, we find that more and more branches and leaves take the place of the ones we cut off. To remove the weed once and for all, we have to actually remove the weed from the roots.

Buddha: Buddha is said to have recounted thousands of his past-lives, of which around 550 have been narrated in the 'Jataka' Tales. Buddha asked his disciples to explore their own past lives to gain a complete understanding of the cycle of birth and death. According to the teachings of Buddha, one attains 'Nirvana' or Salvation when one becomes free from the cycle of birth and death.

Mahavira: Mahavira called 'Remembering past-lives' as 'Jati-Smaran'. Remembering of past lives is an integral part of ancient Jain Practices. Jain teachings call the attaining of freedom from rebirth as 'Kaivalya'. Tibetan wisdom: Early Tibetan history contains a wealth of literature on the subject of reincarnation and afterlife states. One of the most important sources of ancient Tibetan wisdom about reincarnation and the afterlife states is the

'Tibetan Book of The Dead'. This book was read to those who were dying when their souls were about to vacate their bodies. Also read during funeral ceremonies, the wisdom imparted was supposed to prepare the dying person to make the transition from life to the after life state in a smooth manner. It also taught the near and dear of the deceased person that they should not hold back the dying person by mourning, but that they should graciously send them on their journey with positive thoughts and emotions. Compiled in the eighth century A.D., this book is a masterpiece that contains the wisdom gathered over a period spanning many centuries from different Tibetan Masters. A lot of cases of Near Death Experiences are reported even in modern times where people are found to return to life after being pronounced dead. These experiences are very similar to early stages of death as described by the Tibetan sages. As the spirits move toward a realm of light, they slough off emotional attachments to their earlier earthly existence.
In the process, they may face spiritual beings who guide them, and who present them with a kind of mirror reflecting their life and actions. Filled at last with peace and contentment, the deceased prepare either to abandon the world altogether or to reenter the cycle of birth and death with higher awareness of the illusory nature of life.

Christian Mystics: Many Christian mystics have stated that after death, the soul separates from the body and leaves. There are instances of people with Christian upbringing who had 'near death experiences'. They tell us that their spirits entered a 'realm of light' where they were received by 'beings of light'. They were then shown a complete review (somewhat like a movie except that it took no time) of their all the events of their life and their actions were weighed. This description is very similar to the description given by the Tibetans.

Egyptian Civilization: Ancient Egyptians believed in reincarnation. They believed that it took 3000 years to complete all lives that one had to live. All this goes to prove that the ancient Egyptians strongly believed in life after death and reincarnation. Ancient Greeks: Reincarnation was not an unknown concept to the ancient Greeks. Noted Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato believed in reincarnation and they have also explained about it in their teachings. Pythagoras is believed to have remembered and described many of his past lives. Some of the lives that he recounted were as: a Trojan warrior, a prophet, a peasant, a prostitute, and a shopkeeper.Evidence form prehistoric times: Though reincarnation has been studied scientifically only during recent times, the possibility that we live many lives has been accepted on faith since ancient times.
If one studies the ancient indigenous cultures of Africa, Asia, North America, South America and Australia, one would find ample evidence that reincarnation was one of their core beliefs. It can be seen that evidence of the belief in reincarnation can be found in people of diverse cultures, from different parts of the world and even people from vastly different time periods (modern, medieval, ancient, prehistoric etc.).
Why do we reincarnate?
Having come to know that belief in reincarnation has existed from ancient and even prehistoric times we now come to the important question:
Why do we reincarnate? The reasons for reincarnation are:·
To learn lessons: Consider the whole earth as one training school. We cannot complete our training unless we study and graduate from one level, move on to the next level and continue this process till we attain mastery. This is the fundamental and most important reason for reincarnation. Most of the other reasons are offshoots of this reason. Take the example of a school. If we fail in one grade, we have to repeat the grade till we pass it. So also with our lives on earth. If we do not learn our lessons properly, we keep returning till we learn all the lessons. Learning the lessons properly is the key to our spiritual growth and eventual freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Our spiritual growth depends on how well we learn our lessons. · To have fun: We incarnate to have fun. We incarnate to experience the beauty of creation, and that is fun.
We incarnate to express our creativity, and that too is fun. There is no limit to the beauty of creation. Even our creative abilities are limitless. There are infinite ways of experiencing the beauty of creation. There are also infinite ways of expressing our creativity. Therefore, the experiences possible are far too many to go through in one incarnation and hence the longing for the soul to reincarnate again and again. Though the experiences of the soul are equally valid whether we are in incarnation or not, the joy of creation can be experienced only when we are on this physical plane of existence. ·
To teach: After the soul has learnt all the lessons required to be learnt, it does not have to reincarnate. However, such a soul may choose to reincarnate to help in the evolution of the other souls who are still caught in the cycle of birth and death. The main work done by such souls when they reincarnate is teaching. They work for creating a shift in the consciousness of the people on earth. Research on Reincarnation
"If you don't believe in Karma or reincarnation,don't worry, probably you will in your next life." -Dr. Bruce Goldberg
There has been an enormous amount of research done during recent times in the field of Past-Life-Regression. Modern Medical Science has documented it meticulously and the in-depth studies have shown that 90% of illnesses, diseases and ailments that we suffer from in our present lives - all have past life connections. The therapeutic benefits of Past-Life-Regression can therefore be accepted as a universal fact. Let us take a look at some of the important researchers in this field.
Dr. Brian Weiss, M.D.: The contribution of Dr. Brian Weiss to the field of Past-Life-Regression is unparalleled in modern times and he can rightly be called as the 'Father of modern Past-Life-Regression'. A Columbia and Yale trained M.D. Psychiatrist Dr. Weiss, proved reincarnation with his excellent research on past-life regressions. In the process of treating one of his patients named Catherine using conventional psychotherapy, Dr. Weiss rediscovered past-life-regression. Though he was initially skeptical, he continued to use past-life-regression in her treatment and the results were miraculous. During one of the sessions, his patient reached a between lives state and communicated with the departed souls of Weiss's father and son and relayed secret information about Weiss's family. As a result, his skepticism turned into solid belief. He published his experiences in great detail in his first and epoch making book 'Many Lives, Many Masters'.
After the stupendous success of his first book, he wrote some more masterpieces like 'Messages from Masters', 'Through Time into Healing, 'Only Love is Real' and 'Same Soul, Many Bodies'.Dr. Ian Stevenson, M.D.: Dr. Ian Stevenson, M.D., is one of the foremost researchers in the field of reincarnation research. Dr. Stevenson wrote several books on the subject, including 'Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation', 'Cases of the Reincarnation Type' (four volumes), 'Xenoglossy, and Telepathic Impressions - A Review and Report of Thirty-Five New Cases'. A professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, his outstanding contribution to reincarnation research is his meticulous documentation of over 2,000 case histories of children with past-life memories. Dr. Michael Newton: Dr. Michael Newton has done excellent work on the in-between-lives state. His books include 'Journey of Souls', Destiny of Souls' and 'Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression'. Carol Bowman: Carol Bowman has done some wonderful work on the past life memories of children which is represented in her works 'Children's Past Lives: How Past Life Memories Affect Your Child' and 'Return From Heaven: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family'.Dr. Bruce Goldberg: Another stalwart in the field of past-life regression, Dr. Goldberg's books include 'Past Lives – Future Lives' and 'Dream Your Problems Away'.Roger J. Woolger, PhD: Roger Woolger, a psychoanalyst in the Jungian Tradition, has done a lot of research in past-life-regression and his works include 'Other Lives Other Selves' and 'Healing your Past Lives'.Morris Netherton, PhD: One of the pioneers of past-life-regression, his book 'Past Lives Therapy' is one of the earliest books on the subject. Edgar Cayce: Edgar Cayce was one of the best-known psychics of the twentieth century. He was one of the first to explore other dimensions of reality. From 1925 through 1944, he conducted some 2500 readings. He would go into a hypnotic trance state and describe the past lives of individuals as casually as if everybody understood and accepted that reincarnation was a fact. Mr. Cayce was brought up in a fundamentalist Christian family and initially, he himself had a hard time accepting what he was saying during these trance states. Later, as he came to trust in the accuracy of the readings, he gradually understood the basis of reincarnation and karma and how they help us comprehend the seemingly incomprehensible aspects of human life. The essence of this understanding gained by him can be found in his work entitled 'Scars of the Soul'.
In 'Born Again and Again' Cayce deals with topics such as deep-seated fears, physical ailments, mental blocks, vocational talents, innate urges and abilities, marriage difficulties, child training, etc. These were examined in the light of what Cayce called the "karmic patterns" resulting from previous incarnations that an individual has had on the earth plane. There are many other researchers/therapists in the field of Past-Life-Regression like Dick Sutphen, Hans Tendam etc. to name a few. There are innumerable documented cases of past life regressions and the experiences of those undergoing the regressions. The basis of these regressions and the validity of reincarnation have been viewed by many with skepticism and hence many people have tried to prove or disprove the validity of these experiences. The biggest doubt expressed by skeptics was whether the information was really coming from the past-life experiences of the individuals or from their present knowledge. They also felt that that there is every possibility of the person imagining or making it all up. As far as we are concerned, these are immaterial concerns. What is important to us, as Medical Doctors, is that these regressions are capable of healing patients' emotional, mental and physical problems. In addition to this, the regressions bring about profound spiritual transformation in the individuals and improve the overall quality of their lives. We therefore make no judgments about the process of past life regression and we do not attempt to prove the accuracy or reality of these past life recollections. It is enough for us to know that this is a good, effective and extremely safe way to help and heal the patients. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and the results speak for themselves!"A stone I died and rose again a plantA plant I died and rose again an animal;I died an animal and was born a man Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?" -Jalal-ud-din Rumi
Law of Karma
".....Believing as I do in the theory of rebirth, I live in the hope that if not in this birth, in some other birth I shall be able to hug all humanity in friendly embrace." -Mohandas K. GandhiWe have heard a lot about 'Karma'. 'Karma' is a Sanskrit word which means 'action'. Karma is the process of cause and effect, which is associated with our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Jesus said, "As you sow, so shall you reap". This single statement contains the essence of what Karma is.The Dynamics of Karma: We are all spiritual beings having a human experience and the dynamics of Karma help us to keep learning and progressing through the actions done by us in each lifetime. Therefore, Karma is neither good nor bad. Karma operates on universal laws, which create total justice. Karma is very impersonal and it applies to everyone without exception at all times. Karma makes us realize that we are all one irrespective of our nationality, religion, race, creed, caste, sex etc. and thereby teaches us oneness. Karma teaches us take self-responsibility as it makes us feel responsible for our actions in every situation. Karma makes us understand the cause and effect of our actions. Understanding Karma is a major step in our Spiritual Evolution.
Different types of Karma: SANCHITA KARMA: This is the sum total of the Karma accumulated from all the lifetimes. PRARABDHA KARMA: This is the Karma that is ripened. The effects of this type of Karma will be felt in this lifetime and in current situations.
AGAMI KARMA or KRIYAMANA KARMA: This is the recently added Karma resulting from present actions. This kind of Karma, which is added recently, affects the future. Reincarnation and Karma: Most of us believe that our individual characters are formed from birth in this present life. We therefore assume that our psychological makeup is molded from parental and social conditioning as well as our genetic inheritance. Factors like complexes, patterning, personal myths, scripts and family of origin etc. are believed to influence our characters. These have been used to explain how our psyche has been affected by our childhood experiences and/or our genetic inheritance. Modern psychology is predominantly based on this model. What this model fails to provide suitable explanations for are the instances wherein many people are found to possess special gifts and character traits that cannot be due to their family history or genetic inheritance. It also cannot explain why two people with identical family history and genetic inheritance often have vastly varying and sometimes diametrically opposite character traits and behavior. This model is therefore incomplete in its understanding of the human psyche. This is the reason why it has had an insignificant success rate when it comes to treating most psychological disorders and ailments. Any search for a fully integrated model, which can provide the answers to all the questions that remain unanswered using the present model, leads us to the study of reincarnation. Reincarnation is the missing link, which helps us to complete our understanding. Once we realize that we are eternal beings who have lived many lifetimes before this one, we can easily understand that our psyche represents the sum total of all experiences of all our lifetimes including the present one. This explains how our character, situations and conditions in the present life have their roots in our past lives. Past life activities, past life habits, past life patterns, traumatic experiences in the past lives, emotionally charged events from past lives and many more past life experiences all together make up our present self and character structure.The main reason for reincarnating is to learn lessons. Reincarnation and Karma are thus interrelated. However, this does not apply to those who choose to reincarnate to teach others and help them to grow spiritually. Before we reincarnate, we choose the circumstances, parents, social conditions and situations into which we are born so as to give us the ideal conditions for learning the lessons that we have set out to learn in this lifetime. Hence current family genetics and psychological environments are not mainly responsible for our psychological makeup. They are only the vehicles for the expression of the soul and serve to bring about the interplay of factors required for the natural unfolding of the karmic drama. Karma is not Punishment: It is very important for us to understand that Karma is not a system of punishment put in place by a higher authority. The common misconception is that the laws of Karma operate in such a manner as to punish us for our so-called 'wrong doings'. The punishment is always self-inflicted from the karmic point of view. Strong Identification with patterns of guilt leads to a need to punish oneself, and therefore the punishment is invariably self-inflicted punishment.

Memory of an Elephant

This is an Incredible story. Please read till the end.

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,

After which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and

Walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.

The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.


Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.


He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs.


And slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.


Probably wasn't the same elephant.


A change for those who used to send t normal heart-warming stories.
