Can Real Estate be Spiritual? Real Estate Mom answers a LITTOF reader quest
2009-09-16 16:58:00 Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I'm answering a question from LITTOF reader Jo of New Zealand:I'd like to ask your mum about doing real estate business in a "spiritual" way. Not sure that's the right word, but cannot think of another! What I mean is this:So many real estate transactions I have been involved in (as both buyer and seller) have been anchored in "business" or "profit" or "commission". I appreciate that realtors have to earn a living and am happy to pay a commission to someone who successfully sells my home. But how do I filter out the puff and the patter? What are the signs I should look for which tell me that a realtor is truly out for...

From readers accusing me of being irresponsible as a journalist (this is a BLOG people-) to others accusing my source, George Mateljan, of being a quack, everyone has an opinion. There's also the question of what this all has to do with being spiritual, dammit?! While I don't think you have to drop all of your vices to embrace the "woo-woo" beat, I do think eating healthy foods helps raise your vibration. And if you don't believe me, or George, I bet you'll believe Dr. Oz......
Abuse in the Spiritual Realm
2009-07-18 19:57:00 Once in a while you come across a very moving video regarding dealing with domestic violence within the church. Spiritual Help for the Abused is a very pretty and moving video.I wanted to share this. Speaking about this domestic violence within the home is the first step toward healing. There are alot of places of worship that encourage the silence, but that is not what the Bible states is to happen. The truth is to be brought into the light, because that is what God's word says.Truth is what brings healing, and not silence as a tool for the sacrifice for others not wishing to face it.

astrology, horoscope | from spiritual vantage point
2008-12-11 08:00:00 1.Like many people I had a deep interest in astrology, I still have it but in a much lesser degree. My curious interest was and is mostly in the aspect of astrology that defines different human characteristics, not the astrology of future prediction. Eager to study human psyche / psychology from occult side, I found astrology very fascinating and used to compare people's characteristics with their astrological sign etc. It was fun, mostly do it yourself project. In the same path of interest I came to learn little bits of Numerology, Palmistry (Chiromancy) and Face reading (Physiognomy).In the Islamic wisdom tradition, astrology that is used for future prediction is strongly discouraged (to the extent of forbidden) because of disbelief on Divine Will involved in it and its materialistic misuse (partly because of ill motivation of dishonest astrologer who take advantage of people of weak mentality). Immoral practice of astrology is considered as sorcery or black magic. Also those who...

Spiritual Aim is Mainly in the Brain
2008-11-18 01:07:00 Just when I thought human arrogance and ignorance has reached it's pinnacle, I am proven wrong again. I am speaking of a neurological approach to becoming like Christ. How is this done? I don't know, you'll have to buy the book. But here's an excerpt from the article. Dr. C. Samuel Verghese connects the brain with spiritual disorders as well. Dr. Verghese, the son of missionaries in India and a born-again Christian, views brain activity (otherwise called brain tuning), and spiritual transformation as an inseparable part of developing the life of a Christian. "The ultimate goal and the grand purpose of brain power are to become like Christ. Several words are used in Scripture to portray the beautiful outcome of fine-tuning. 'The pure heart,' 'the pure mind,' and 'the mind of Christ' serve as images to illuminate many important functions of fine-tuning and brain power." Dr. Verghese describes his new book, "Brain Power - How to Fine Tune Your Brain Naturally" (WinePress, 2...
