"Mysteries Of Life"

L I F E

Do you ever stop and wonder what life would be like if you had done, fill in the blank, or had not done, fill in the blank? I’m not so much a believer that our life path is a predisposition. More along the lines of walking down a path that you, yes you chose.

I get rather irritated when people act like their life’s issues is anyone’s fault, but their own. You made your bed, somewhere along the line, now lie in it, “but I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth,” you say. Big deal, learn to live with in your means, now. It doesn’t matter how much money you have if you can’t handle what you have now who says that more money will solve your problems.






Anyone who has been affected by the current mortgage crisis picked a comforter that was way beyond their means to begin with, and if the truth be told you didn’t have good enough credit to buy the comforter in the first place. Rule of thumb, don’t spend more on a house then you make in a year.



The next statement might offend some, with that being said take what I have to say to heart. It’s no ones fault that you are single but your own. I realize that there are many that choose to be single, more power to you. The ones I’m talking about are the ones that spend more time worrying about being single then reflecting as to why they are single.

I have a certain friend who will remain nameless. She has a certain typeset of man that she only goes for. Nothing else will do. The only problem is she is 300 lbs and expects to land a tall dark and handsome man. She met a guy recently on the internet. She said they were “dating.” In reality, it consisted of them texting back and forth. She told me he refused to meet her until she dropped 150 lbs, and got mad at me when I pointed out how wrong that was, and even told me that no friend would stand between her and her man. What man? Oh you mean the one that refuses to meet you. I haven’t known you for the past 10 years, or anything

She has actually landed her typeset man a few times, but then chases them off with her (a) insecurities (b) 3rd degree questioning and © planning their future in under a week.

Every day I would get the same text message from her, “ I want to get married. When will it be my turn?” I’m the type of person that if you present me with a problem I will give you a solution. I have known this girl for many years. Thus, been more then exposed to her dating habits.

My first advice to her was that when she ropes one that is somewhat interested in marriage don’t morph into controlling bitch. That goes for everything; The “L” word, any ideas of marriage, children, religion, and career choice. You have to accept people at face value. A ring or even a commitment will not turn an asshole to anything more then an even bigger asshole.

Secondly, I told her she needed to forgo her typeset. Love isn’t always wrapped up in the packaging you expect it to be in. There could have been many, many men well suited that have crossed her path, but she may have dismissed them without a second glance because they weren’t her typeset. People that appear attractive on the outside are not always so on the inside.

My point in all of this is don’t let the mistakes you made yesterday frame your tomorrow. Rise above it all. Be content in your situation, but not dead to change. You, yes you choose your path.

"You Can Be Blind But Faith Will Lead You"

Hold On,In Your Faith...

Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

From the very time the sunlight touch your face;
The angels brought to you gods gift of beauty and grace.
And within you tiny hands was placed an enchanted key;
The key to the heart of your true love, who turned out to be me.
Your were raised in a rough area, yet you continued to be a pearl;
Tested by man after man until your real love could enter your world. Never did you give up, the quest remained fresh in your mind;
Your search for the man that would love you and treat you so kind.
Now that we together our to hearts have become one;
I will be your moon and truly are my glistening sun.

From the first day the moon light grace his kind soul;
It was apparent to the world that this man would be a sight to behold.

A protector, a provider, strong, gentle and kind;
Seeking out the one who held the key to his heart, soul, and mind.
Never was he tarnished by those who treated him bad;
Raised to be a good man by his mother, he never had a dad.
With love in his heart so pure, God's will finally came to be;
He discovered the sunlight, that held the moon's heart key.
And now they have united, there is nothing anyone one can say;
The world has finally united the night with the day.
Nasir (Flex Writer)

What if we could choose our own destiny? What if we knew what lies behind every decision we make? Would we be satisfied with our destinations?

"Beyond Ordinary"

NADI JYOTISHYAM

Nadi (pronounced 'naadi') Jyotishyam, is a unique way of unravelling a person's past, present and future. Popular in Tamil Nadu, this is a system where any person who gives his or her thumb impression, can know details of previous birth(s), sins, virtues, the rationale behind one's present birth, one's future in this birth and also details of future birth(s).


It is claimed that sage Agastya had the knowledge and vision of the reasons for the birth of each human being. He wrote this down on palm leaves called Yedugal, meaning books, in Tamil. During the reign of King Sarabhoji of Tanjavur (circa 18th century A.D.), these were rewritten and referred to as Volai Chchuvadugal, meaning leaf prints. These prints form the keys to the thumbprints in the prediction process.

Today a few families, from places like Chidambaram and Kancheepuram, in Tamil Nadu, have inherited these palm leaf prints, for generations and are involved in predictions for seekers, both within the country and from abroad.

D. Balasubramaniam, 39, of Sri Agathiyar Nadi Jothida Nilayam, from Kancheepuram, is one such Nadi Astrologer. Chennaibest.com spoke to him in this exclusive interview:
Why is this process of Prediction called "Nadi"?

Normally, any astrologer can go to any place, refer to a palm or a horoscope and predict. However, our system involves referring to the ancient palm leaf scriptures, which are in one place and cannot be moved frequently. Hence the person, who wants to know of his or her birth details, has to come to our place and "seek" these details from us. In Tamil the word "nadi" means seeking, among other things.

What is the system of your prediction?

Any person, who seeks this information, has to come to us on any day, except Tuesdays, before 8.00 am, and give us his or her thumbprint. Right thumbprint for men and left thumbprint for women. Based on their thumbprints, we search and refer to the correct collection of palm leaves that belong to that particular person's details.

There is a palm leaf print for every type of thumbprint. As per our system, the thumbprints of human beings are classified into 108 major varieties. Among these 108 varieties, there always are differences. So, we study the prints carefully and pick the concerned palm leaf print/s. Then we check with the concerned person, on parameters like their names, their parents' names, their place of birth etc., which are indicated either directly or indirectly in the palm leaves. If all the parameters are met with and accepted by the person seeking, as correct, we shall proceed with the predictions.

In what language do you predict?

I read from the scriptures, which are in ancient Tamil and not comprehensible by many, today. Hence we also give definitions for certain words and try to explain in understandable Tamil. Today, we are also able to help people with predictions in English, Hindi and a few South Indian Languages.

How about predictions to foreigners?

They may be from different places, religions and of different languages. We have received seekers from many foreign countries. But, today, most of our foreign clients are from Japan. They always bring their own interpreters and we never found it difficult to predict to them. Even if they are from different places and belong to different religions, there are indications in the palm leaves and while checking for the parameters, we found that they do match.

How long does this procedure take?

It takes about 4 hours to search for the correct palm leaf print. Then depending on the person's request for information, it may take another few hours, to predict and explain. If it is in Tamil, we may process in about 4-5 hours. For other languages, it takes more time.

What is the accuracy of your predictions?
99% accurate, as claimed by my clients.
How long have you been practising this?

To my knowledge, our family has been into predicting from the palm-leaf scriptures for about three generations. I had been initiated into studying the palm leaf prints in my teenage. It took me about four years to understand and decipher the ancient script (which is very miniscule and looks like flowing scrawl). It took me a further six years to understand the content of the scriptures, to enable me venture into predictions.

Have you learnt this on your own or did you learn it under anybody's tutelage?
I have learnt the art from my father's younger brother Sri V. S. Arul Siva Arumugam, who became my guru.

Are you training anybody now?

Yes.
Normally this art is found in and around Chidambaram.
How come in Kancheepuram?

I hail from a small village called Valathan Pattinam, near Mayuram of erstwhile Tanjavur and today's Nagai Qaid-e-Millat district of Tamil Nadu

However, I had a foreboding that I will be comfortable in a place, which is an abode of Goddess Amman. Since Kancheepuram is the abode of the Goddess Kamakshi, I came here in the year 1987 and have settled here.

The way clients, from far and wide, throng Sri Agathiyar Nadi Jothida Nilayam, it appears that Balasubramaniam's prediction, for himself, has indeed come true.

"Decoding Life's Secret Messages"

How to tune in to the hidden meaning of coincidences, those seemingly random events that can guide us toward our destiny.




Jung called it "synchronicity"--random events that occur together in a way that defies rou haven't seen in a while, and she phones you. Oational explanation. You think of a friend yr, contemplating a business deal, you see a sign that reads "Beware of thin ice," and you know to steer clear. If you look more closely at coincidences, you will find guidance in times of confusion or at key moments in decision-making. We are used to looking for symbols in dreams, but coincidences in our waking lives can be also be read as symbols of where the universe is leading us. Coincidence is said to be God's way of remaining anonymous, an indication that there is an underlying reality that connects us all. Here's how to recognize those secret messages from the universe.

1. Read the Signs

Signs are literally all around us. A friend of mine was feeling stuck in her life. As she rushed out in the car to pick up her child from school, she realized she was heading into a traffic jam. "Great," she thought, "the world is mirroring my sense of being stuck." Just then a little white car zipped past her and drove straight into the converging lines of traffic, cutting them off and opening a space for her to get clear. As she seized the chance to get out of the jam, she glanced back and noticed that the vanity plate of the white car read: "CREATE." She was grateful for the double message: that when things stall, we are required to create a new approach, and that we don't have to figure everything out on our own. The universe can be friendly, if we'll let it. Other signs that are "in your face" might include a billboard, a quote on a church signboard, or the first song or commercial that is on the radio when you turn it on.

2. Ask for Guidance

You can ask synchronicity to be your guide. Start by identifying the theme in your life on which you would most like some help right now. Write down a clear and simple request by filling in the blank in the following statement: "I would like guidance on...." Now get ready to receive the first striking or unusual thing that enters your field of perception as a direct response from the universe to your question. A friend who was having doubts about her boyfriend wrote down her question, "Should I end my relationship with Doug?" She turned on the TV and immediately found herself watching a character named Doug breaking up with a girl on the phone--in an episode of "King of Queens," a show she had never watched before. She felt that answered her question directly!

3. Get Moving

Coincidences multiply when we are in motion--because we are traveling outside the grooves of regular habit and ordinary time, into a deeper reality. Airports, train stations, and the morning commute are good places to be alert to messages. You can also consult the "marketplace" oracle. The oracle of Hermes was popular in ancient Greece. Here's how it worked: You entered a walled marketplace and whispered your question into the ear of the statue of Hermes, the messenger of the gods. Then you pressed your hands over your ears until you got back to the market gate. The first words or sounds you heard after you took your hands away from your ears were the response to your question. Try this in a market or mall. Ask a question in your mind, take ten minutes to roam around, then stop and read the first sign you see. That's your answer.

4. Meet the Library Angel




Open a book at random and see what is staring at you from the page. It may be a theme for the day. Many people do this with the Bible or another sacred book. Or go to a favorite bookstore--used bookstores are especially magical--and see what pops up right away. You may come to notice, even among familiar books at home, that the benign "shelf elf," which Arthur Koestler called the Library Angel, will come and play with you--knocking a book off a shelf or revealing others in unexpected ways--if you are engaged in a quest.

5. Notice That Life Rhymes

Mark Twain said that history may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. This is also true of our personal history. When a name or a theme comes up again and again, it may be telling us that we need to get the message. On my way to a TV show in Seattle to talk about dreams, I had to wait at a busy intersection. Suddenly the driver of an amazing vehicle painted blue, with a giant shark's fin on top, stopped to let me cross. I remarked to my friends, "The shark will be a theme today." On the air, the interviewer told me of a dream in which she was flying low over blue waters, watching the dorsal fins of sharks circling below. I commented that, if it were my dream, in addition to watching out for "sharks" at work, I might wonder if anyone I knew was challenged by cancer. Sharks don't get cancer, I said, and have sometimes proved to be helpers for cancer patients in guided imagery sessions in which they picture a shark eating the cells of their disease. Off the air, the TV anchor revealed that her mother, who was vacationing in the Caribbean, had been diagnosed with cancer. I suggested that her mother visualize the shark as an inner healer.

6. See an Opportunity Beyond Every Setback

My rule of thumb is: When you find a door closing in your face, look for the one that may be opening. Here's another example involving Mark Twain. In Hannibal, Mo., young Sam Clemens read in the paper about a "wonder" plant in Brazil that was supposed to have healing properties. Local businessmen agreed to back Clemens on an expedition to acquire a large supply of the plant. But when he got to New Orleans, he discovered he couldn't get to Brazil from there. Repairing to a local tavern to drown his sorrows, he met a Mississippi riverboat captain who agreed to take him on as an apprentice pilot. From his experiences on the river, Clemens got the material for his best stories, as well as his pen name. And so, every time I miss an airplane connection or a plan falls through, I am open to finding an opportunity that would not otherwise have appeared.

7. Don't Be Afraid to Get Lost

This is the cardinal navigational law of serendipity. You can only get to the magic kingdom by getting lost. You get there when you think you are going somewhere else and "fall off the map." Serendipity is a major factor in scientific discovery and invention, as well as in exploration and entrepreneurship. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident. He neglected to isolate bacterial cultures from stray spores blowing around his hospital building before going away on vacation. When he returned, he found that a mold had killed the bacteria in his experiment--and his trained mind recognized that he was looking at an extraordinary cure.
The glue used in Post-it notes was another accident; a scientist trying to produce a strong adhesive came up with a very weak one instead--and recognized an unexpected opportunity.

8.Notice Slips of the Tongue

It's amazing what can be revealed through a slip of the tongue. Pay attention to what's going on when you or someone else misspeaks a name or a phrase. This could be a Freudian slip, or a slip of a more interesting kind. I'm pretty good with names, so when I get someone's name wrong, I always pause to ask whether the "wrong" name means something we need to know about. After I called Mark "Charlie" for the third time in one of my seminars on coincidence, I asked, "Okay, who's Charlie?" Charlie had been Mark's best friend, and Mark was still grieving his death. In fact, Mark was wearing Charlie's favorite sweater that day. This guided Mark to construct a simple personal ritual to honor his departed friend and to separate their energies.

9. Identify Your Personal Omens

We don't want to carry around old superstitions. But we can oftenecially in an unlikely place, is always a s find guidance by identifying our personal omens. For me, seeing a friendly black dog, espign that something good is about to happen. I have also received life-guiding messages from red-tailed hawks. Many years ago, wondering whether to leave the city for a rural home, I sat under an old white oak and pondered my decision. I felt that if moving was the right choice, there would be a sign. A red-tailed hawk came circling overhead, dipping lower and lower--and dropped a wing feather between my knees. I accepted the sign, purchased the farm, and found my life entering a new spiritual depth.

10. Be a Synchronicity Magnet

Coincidences tend to cluster around us when we pursue our deepest creative desires. The stronger our emotions, the stronger the effect on our psychic and physical environment, and the more our direction is guided by meaningful coincidence.

The poet William Butler Yeats believed that when our minds are working on a challenging line of inquiry, we attract the interest and guidance of deeper intelligences. Thinking about this one day, I took my dog for a walk in the park--and ran into a cheerful Irish setter called Fergus. His owner explained the name by citing a poem by Yeats. Accepting the coincidence as a sign, I proceeded to make Yeats a major character in the book I was working on.

The world responds to the thoughts and feelings to which we give the energy of our attention. There is no impermeable boundary between mind and matter anywhere in our universe. Through the power of our minds, we can open bridges between the everyday world and a deeper order of reality in which we may find the hidden logic of events--and our own larger stories.

"My Way is the Way of the White Cloud"

This very morning there were white clouds in the sky. Now they are there no more. Where have they gone? From where do they come? How do they evolve, and how do they dissolve again? A white cloud is a mystery, the coming, the going, the very being of it. That's the first reason why I call my way The Way of the White Clouds.

But there are many reasons, and it is good to ponder, to think upon them. A white cloud exists without any roots. It is an unrooted phenomenon,grounded nowhere or grounded in the nowhere.

Butstill it exists. The whole of existence is like a white cloud: without any roots, without any causality,without any ultimate cause, it exists.It exists as a mystery.

Awhite cloud really has no way of its own. It drifts. It has nowhere to reach, no destination, no destiny to be fulfilled, no end. You cannot frustrate a white cloud because wherever it reaches is the goal.

If you have a goal you are bound to get frustrated. The more goal-oriented a mind is, the more anguish, anxiety and frustration there will be,because once you have a goal you are moving with a fixed destination.And the whole exists without any destiny. The whole is not moving anywhere; there is no goal to it, no purpose.

A white cloud drifts wherever the wind leads – it doesn't resist, it doesn't fight. A white cloud is not a conqueror, and still it hovers over everything. You cannot conquer it, you cannot defeat it. It has no mind to conquer – that's why you cannot defeat it.

Once you are fixed to a goal, purpose, destiny, meaning, once you have got that madness of reaching somewhere, then problems will arise. And you will be defeated, that is certain. Your defeat is in the very nature of existence itself.

A white cloud has nowhere to go. It moves, it moves everywhere. All dimensions belong to it, all directions belong to it. Nothing is rejected. Everything is, exists, in a total acceptability. Hence I call my way The Way of the White Clouds.

A white cloud hovers in the sky, timeless – because there is no futureand no mind to it. It is here and now. Each moment is total eternity.

"EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON"

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason ?

Sometimes people come into your life. And you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some purpose, teach you a lesson or help you became who you want to be.

You never know who these people may be your neighbor, professor, friend, lover or even a stranger who when you lock eyes with them you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.



Sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential strength.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments or sheer stupidity all occurs to test the limits of the soul.

Without these small tests if they be events or relationships life would be like a smooth paved flat road to nowhere.

Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

"DARE TO DREAM"

Let nothing hold you back from exploring your wildest fantasies,wishes, and aspirations.
Don't be afraid to dream big and to follow your dreams wherever they may lead you.

"Open your eyes to their beauty;"

"Open your mind to their magic;"

"Open your heart to their possibilities."

"Dare to dream."

Whether they are in color or in black and white,
whether they are big or small,easily attainable or almost impossible,look to your dreams,and make them become reality.
Wishes and hopes are nothing until you take the first step towards making them something!

Don't be afraid,be brave!"Dare to dream"

Because only by dreaming,will you ever discover who you are, what you want, and what you can do.

Don't be afraid to take risks,to become involved,to make commitment.

Do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.

Always believe in miracles,and always believe in you!

SOULMATES,have you found yours?

************How to Identify your Soul Mate**************

Some people believe in soul mates and some do not, but typically those people who disbelieve are just the one’s who haven’t found their’s yet. Those who have met “The One”, however, don’t doubt the existence of soul mates. They know how reassuring it is to have found a partner that is everything they’d hoped for and a whole lot more….

So what is a soul mate, and most importantly, how do you know when you’ve met your’s? Here’s a list of clues:

*Strong attraction* – Most often it’s a person’s physical features that catch our attention first. This doesn’t mean we’re just all superficial beings…. It’s only natural for us to be drawn to those we find physically attractive.

*Good chemistry* — Some people simply mesh well together. They have that so-called “spark.” You know you have good chemistry with someone when you feel at ease around them and conversation comes easily. Soul mates are the people that can be together for 50+ years and STILL have not run out of things to talk about.

*Emotional connection* – You know you’ve met your soul mate when you miss them before they’re even gone. It’s someone you find yourself constantly daydreaming about. Ultimately, it’s that person with whom you can actually picture yourself having a future with - marriage, kids, growing old together….

*Bonding* – Sometime’s it during a dramatic moment that you discover that the person you’re dating is your soul mate. For example, you’re in an accident, and you’re partner is there for you 100% like no one else has ever been, and you know then and there that it’s true love.

*Acceptance* – No one in this world is perfect, but you know you’ve met your soul mate when you are able to acknowledge their good traits AND their bad traits. You accept those things and aren’t always trying to change them into someone they’re not.

*The one and only* — Perhaps the easiest sign to identify when you’ve met your soul mate is this — when you can’t picture yourself being with anyone else ever again. It’s when you know deep in your heart that this person fulfills everything that you could ever want or need in a life partner.

Happily Ever After: It Can Happen To You!

"LOVE can literally move mountains!Just believe,listen to what your hearts dictates you could never go wrong."Love can do MIRACLES

We saw an enchanting movie today. It reminded us again that people fall in love and stay in love for a lifetime. Fairy tales do come true, in life and in love. It can happen to you. You can live happily ever after.The movie we saw was entitled, Enchanted. It lived up to its title. It was enticing, engaging, bewitching, fascinating, charming and delightful—just like your heart feels when you are in love. The movie was a reflection of true love for many in love, and it reminds you that sometimes, suddenly and out of nowhere, you fall in love! And it also reminds you that sometimes you thought you loved someone else, only to discover that it was really another that captured your heart. Following what your heart tells you is the only path to true love.It is our sincere belief that people have an innate need to love and to be in love. Some of us spend time searching for love endlessly, and never find it. Others amongst us search for love, find it, and then discover that it was not true love. And still others search for love and find it – and it lasts a lifetime. These are the ones who fall in love “happily ever after.”There is another category of love – those who did not seek it, but suddenly, and out of nowhere, find themselves in love! They didn’t go looking for it but they found it nonetheless. But love has a way of finding people from time to time and when that happens – look out! Sparks fly, fireworks go off, the moon shines brighter, and the human heart pounds out a tune that says, I am in love! I am in love! I am in love! They don’t know what hit them. They are smitten by love. They have what we like to call, “Enchanted Love.”You will recall similar stories where the glass slipper fits the foot of the lovely maiden just before the stroke of midnight. Well, the movie Enchanted does not disappoint. In the end, the glass slipper fits a lovely lady and all is well with the world. All is well with love. Fairy tales do come true in life and love It can happen to you! And when it does it is enchanting!True love works this way as well. Sometimes, you become convinced that true love will never come your way. You search the world over, but alas, true love for you is elusive. It hides from you. It disguises itself as love, but it proves to be only an imitator or an imposter. And then suddenly and out of nowhere, you are in love! You have enchanted love. You have lasting love.We worry from time to time that people today do not believe that love with someone else can last a lifetime. But you know what, it can. And it does. People fall in love and the love they share lasts forever. People in love really do live happily ever after. Of that you can be sure. Frankly, we have grown weary of the so-called “experts” who believe that love and marriage are old fashioned. We are tired of the prognosticators who on a daily basis proclaim that love for a single person that lasts a lifetime is not possible anymore. In our research over the past 25+ years in the USA and around the world we have seen too much evidence to the contrary. The successfully married couples we interviewed 25 years ago say the same things as the successfully married couples we interview today.

True love crosses the generational barriers.

When you fall in love, truly fall in love; you feel it in your heart and in your soul.

The feelings are unmistakable.

They are undeniable.

Real love is not a secret.

Real love does not disguise itself.

Real love can last forever.

And contrary to the naysayers too prevalent in our society today, most people truly in love share that love for a lifetime. They do, indeed, live happily ever after.

Fairy tales do come true in life and love. It can happen to you.

Fate or Destiny?

"People often meet their destiny on the road they take to avoid it" - French Proverb

Many people talk of Fate and Destiny as if they are one and the same thing, but it may be interesting to examine the subtle difference between the two.
It is believed by many that before we are born we make definite choices as to what we wish to learn, and the aim we want to fulfill during the coming life. It is a Spiritual decision which is rarely remembered once we are born, but in hindsight we often see that events and circumstances have led us unknowingly onwards towards our chosen destination.
So our Destiny could be classified as our own personal Star.

It is the Spiritual Will of the person; a deep inner need; something that drives us to do what seems impossible. It nurtures us with hope in our darkest moments; enables us to dream of better things, and resides in a place where we are destined to find our fulfillment.
Destiny is what we are here on earth to achieve. It is the Sacred Inner Star that guides us; our aspirations; our need to "go" somewhere and make our mark on the world
If we all seriously went about fulfilling our Destiny there would be no need for Fate, for our Star is the Magical Gift of our moment in time which is personal to us alone, and belongs to every single person on this planet.
The problem we are faced with, of course, is what exactly is our Destiny, and how do we go about fulfilling it? And that is where Fate has a significant part to play, for most of us have little memory of what we have committed to do, and are so caught up in the material world that we lose sight of our own unique qualities and potential.
So Fate could be classified as our own personal Guardian.
It calls us to attention, and just knocks us back onto the path when we stray from our true purpose. It is a friendly nudge in the right direction.
Many people feel that Fate is unkind and whimsical in approach, but in fact it is both generous and extremely mindful of the needs of our soul. Sometimes it hurts, but sadly it is often only through hardship that we discover our inner strength and capabilities to achieve great things.
There are so many of us who are wandering around aimlessly through life, wondering where we are meant to go, and dangerously looking at other people's Stars and wishing they were ours.
We ask a multitude of questions about our Destiny, but rarely if ever hear or even listen for the answers, for they don't come as a sudden flash of lightening out of a cloud.
Answers can only be heard by getting to know ourselves really well; finding out what we really want and going after it with complete commitment; believing in ourselves and our capabilities, and learning to listen to own intuition - the secret inner Spiritual voice or ourselves - that is trying to show us the way to personal success in life and happiness in our hearts.
The responsibility for finding our Destiny is ours alone. It can never be given to us by anyone else for it doesn't belong to them, it only belongs to us.
Destiny is something we choose to go after.... Fate is something that happens to us, and seemingly takes away our choices, but in fact actually leads us back towards the choice of Destiny we already made before we were born.

Do you believe that our lives are pre-destined? Perhaps you subscribe to the idea that whatever will be will be, that fate rules all that happens to us. But what about free will? If the idea that no matter what our personal destinations are decided for us before we are born, read on. Perhaps it is your destiny to do so.

I do believe in destiny we are all born pre-destined by GOD but we have the choice to take the rigth path or go against the will.God given us the freedom to choose for our lives,the same thing that he had gave Adam & Eve the freedom to follow their hearts & that is the test that we had to take,the purpose as a human being here on the earth to seek the right path even there are obstacles along the way.This will test our faith in him as children of God.Most of us forgot the primary reason why are we here being blind with material things.They praise the works of man,ignoring the true meaning of life.Material things is not our lives we should conquer our greediness to have it all to the extent that lead people to kill,ruins ones life bec. of what?money!Material wealth!Try to think about it!Is it worth it?Can we be happy with money alone?How can someone sleeps with all the wealth they had if that wealth is acquired of cheating & greediness that kills,could you still sleep at night?is it worth it?To all who acquired their wealth by taking advantaged of other people,cheating,stealing,murdering,stealing ones rights & power grabbing!All i can say is shame on you all!How can you celebrate your victory in the miseries of other people.The world admires all the world's rich & famous society to them they are the GODS living on earth,i'm not stating all of them i know there are exemptions.The people acquired their wealth by playing dirty,the masses admired this people,don't be fooled!Why would you admire people with power & wealth,seeing them as perfect that all are a big JOKE.All are fools,that they don't know how to identify the true meaning of intelligence & true wealth that all should have.In my point of view,both RICH & POOR society are compose of individuals that are living in prejudism,opportunist & thirst of power.The RICHMAN controls the POORMAN of their same kind,both are brainless to be manipulated my MONEY for what?If you are the RICHEST PERSON in earth with fame & surrounded by friends,fake friends to be exact!If you die this very moment can you bring all your wealth in your grave.The your relatives & friends will mourn for a day & rejoice the day after for the wealth you had left.There will be a celebration of abundance,fortune that they had inherit & you will be forgotten bec. all your worth is the wealth that they are aspiring to have.For me,i'll live my life in the way that i won't be manipulated by money,my main goal is to be happy not to the expense of other myseries.I'll find my happiness,the true meaning of life.We can dream to be rich & reached that dream but not to the extent that our conscience is clouded by our greed.All i can say is.....LIVE RIGTH,LIVE RICH,LIVE CLEAN,LIVE HAPPY BECAUSE WE LIVED IN GOD & WE REST IN OUR FAITH.

Chiromancy Study.

Palmistry or Cheiromancy and Astrology
The lore dates palmistry to the ancient Egyptians, Chaldeans, Sumerians and Babylonians. The "written" eastern (Vedic) references date to approx. 2000 BCE and the western references to Aristotle 384-322 BCE. The term Chiromancy is based on the Greek word cheir = hand and mancy=divination. There are two more forms for the base word –gnomy and –ology, which were perhaps adapted to make it less of a divination and more of a study.

Palmistry has a connotation of fortune telling, in the 17th century it was a university subject in Germany and outlawed as witchcraft in England. Astrology and palmistry have strong links. There used to be a basic division into seven types of hands, which matched the seven planets known by the ancients.
This division has been revised to four elemental types. The Earth hand has a square palm and short fingers, and belongs to a practical and honest individual. The Fire hand has a long palm and short fingers, which describes an energetic, restless person. The Water hand has a long palm and long fingers, which describes an imaginative and emotional individual with moody characteristics. The Air hand has a square palm with long fingers, which belongs to an intelligent, logical and systematic individual. The mounts on the hand are named after Roman gods, which relate to planets. In the diagram each finger is given a ruling planet, Mars, Venus and the Moon do not have a finger of their own. Venus was given the first phalanx on the thumb, which ironically is the phalanx of will – typically a concept related to Mars. Venus also has a mount. Well formed, firm mounts show that the planet's energy is well developed. Note that with Saturn this is not the case rather the mount is typically taut and flat. Each planet does also rule a line in the hand, and a band under its finger.

Each of the phalanges on each finger is associated with an astrological sign. The first phalanges are cardinal, the middle ones are fixed and the bottom ones are mutable. The thumb is considered to have two phalanges only the top one is associated with will & action and the lower one with capacity for thought & logical analysis. The base of the thumb is associated with vitality and strength – prominent and or well shaped or developed is good. Thumb is claimed to be associated with intelligence as well as the Ascendant. In Asia there are palmists, who read the thumb exclusively and ignore the rest of the hand. In addition there are twelve types of fingernails, which are associated with astrological signs and can be used as a tool in chart rectification. The matching of these with actual fingernails is harder than it sounds.

Long is better than short when it comes to phalanges, overly long, however, is associated with negative traits and/or a lack of something. For example a very long Virgo phalanx, the bottom segment of the ring finger, is associated with greed. A very short pinky finger (the kind that only reaches half way through the middle phalanx of the ring finger) is indicative of someone frustrated, unable to express their talents and skills. In lieu of having a finger Mars was given two mounts on the palm – one is associated with moral courage and the other with physical courage (see diagram). In addition Mars owns the "plateau" in the centre of the palm.

The Jupiter finger – index - is associated with ambition, success and ego. When it is longer than the ring finger – the hand belongs to a natural leader. (Remember that as with any method of analyzing character and life one pat statement does not apply to all, the art of palmistry is more complex than this short introductory essay). The Saturn finger – middle – is about the mind/money, responsibility and detail. The Sun – Ring - finger has to do with emotions, desires and persona. The Mercury – pinky – finger has to with communications, personal relationships, the mind and spirituality.

Looking at the hands and comparing them to the main themes in the astrological chart does seem to have a strong correlation. Check it out for yourself – is your chart mainly fixed and are the middle phalanges in your fingers the longest? Are you mainly a water type – is your palm long with long fingers? Is your pinky finger long past reaching the top phalange of the index finger – are you quick witted and a born salesman? Do you have a crooked finger or one that leans toward another one? Is it the Jupiter finger bending toward Saturn's finger – are you stubborn or persistent? Is it the Sun finger reaching for Saturn's finger – are emotional relationships a challenge? Do these finger patterns repeat in the chart – a Sun/Saturn aspect for example? Last remember that the passive hand (left if you are right-handed) is what you were born with and the active hand is what you have made of your life and circumstances.
