New Talk - 'If a miracle hasn't happened, something has gone wrong'
If a miracle hasn't happened then something has gone wrong. A talk on understanding our true nature of reality and how life can become more fluid.
A talk on empowering ourselves. We have all heard of the 'laws of attraction' and have all read books and information on crea...ting our reality but does it all really fit together and work for us?
It is easy understanding certain information, even wanting to believe it but a totally different thing to actually put it into practice through our daily lives.
This talk cuts straight to the point, puts meditation and 'positive thinking' in their rightful place and explains HOW things really work. Starting with a background of universal truths we begin to see a picture of how we have become so detached from our true source. Continuing on, the talk takes us on a journey of how we re-connect back again. Creating our reality is no magic trick, nor is it any kind of spiritual practice but simply living by our natural means.
By using examples of masters who has achieved enlightenment and looking at their powers over the material world, we begin to see a pattern that we are actually not so unlike them. Their 'powers' of the siddhas will be discussed in detail and we shall see that everything is achievable for all.
There is a saying "if a miracle hasn't happened something has gone wrong" and this is the over-riding theme of the talk. From instantaneous healing through to the more mundane acts of manifesting the perfect parking space, life is filled with miracles big and small. We can live solid, rigid lives which become an effort to move in any direction or live a more fluid, effortless existence. The choice lays with us.

The Mayonnaise Jar and the 2 Beers
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car...
The sand is everything else---the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house.
Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.
The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend!
They agreed that it was.

The Law of Attraction
Dr Quantum knows his stuff. This is the fundamental Law of Attraction - the infamous double slit experiment. Our thoughts and observations create our reality as demonstrated by quantum mechanics. The electrons shown in this clip are the ultimate base of ALL matter in the physical universe, and how they behave is down to us.
Black eyed peas Where is the love Lyrics
Just proves good songwriting can be found anywhere, even in the most unlikely place :-0

One Minute Physics - Is Schrödingers Cat Dead or Alive?
This is an excellent video explaning the quantum mechanic problem proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, and how this relates to the parellel universe theory. (need to sit through an ad first though yawn)
