How to Create Everyday Magic

We all perform certain rituals throughout our day. Try incorporating the magic of positive thinking. Manifest your will and intent with the power of thought.

Steps

  1. Awaken
  2. Fall asleep once again for just a few more minutes.
  3. Take a long, full body stretch in or out of bed.
  4. Stretch, breathe, yawn and allow the oxygen into your body to fully awaken.
  5. Take several deep breaths.
  6. Envision yourself cleansed from head to toe in white light.
  7. Observe how your body feels. Are you still tired? Do you feel rested and refreshed?
  8. Keep your mind free of thought for these first few minutes.
  9. Take a walk to the window. Observe the outside light. Sunny is great as it creates energy for your spirit. Cloudy is great as it creates energy to reflect.
  10. Absorb and accept what the day brings.

Today is a happy day, I have my list to do. Work will get done, bills will get paid. Today, today is a wonderful day."
  15. Sing in the shower, the car or whenever you feel the need to brighten your spirit.
  16. Allow things to be in your favor.
  17. Delight in the positive reaction of others.
  18. Remember, if things feel as if they're falling apart, just stop and breathe that breath of fresh air that was instilled earlier in the day. Stand tall, stretch that long stretch, walk to a window, observe the outdoors, begin to hum or sing your song and create your own magic once again

History of sufism

History of Sufim

In its early stages of development Sufism effectively referred to nothing more than the internalization of Islam.[21] According to one perspective, it is directly from the Qur’an, constantly recited, meditated, and experienced, that Sufism proceeded, in its origin and its development.[22] Others have held that Sufism is the strict emulation of the way of Muhammad, through which the heart's connection to the Divine is strengthened.[23]

From the traditional Sufi point of view, the esoteric teachings of Sufism were transmitted from Muhammad to those who had the capacity to acquire the direct experiential gnosis of God, which was passed on from teacher to student through the centuries. Some of this transmission is summarized in texts, but most is not. Important contributions in writing are attributed to Uwais al-Qarni, Harrm bin Hian, Hasan Basri and Sayid ibn al-Mussib, who are regarded as the first Sufis in the earliest generations of Islam. Harith al-Muhasibi was the first one to write about moral psychology. Rabia Basri was a Sufi known for her love and passion for God, expressed through her poetry. Bayazid Bastami was among the first theorists of Sufism; he concerned himself with fanā and baqā, the state of annihilating the self in the presence of the divine, accompanied by clarity concerning worldly phenomena derived from that perspective.[24]

Sufism had a long history already before the subsequent institutionalization of Sufi teachings into devotional orders (tarîqât) in the early Middle Ages.[25] Almost all extant Sufi orders trace their chains of transmission (silsila) back to Muhammad via his cousin and son-in-law Ali. The Naqshbandi order is a notable exception to this rule, as it traces the origin of its teachings from Muhammad to the first Islamic Caliph Abu Bakr.[8]

Different devotional styles and traditions developed over time, reflecting the perspectives of different masters and the accumulated cultural wisdom of the orders. Typically all of these concerned themselves with the understanding of subtle knowledge (gnosis), education of the heart to purify it of baser instincts, the love of God, and approaching God through a well-described hierarchy of enduring spiritual stations (maqâmât) and more transient spiritual states (ahwâl).

Tips to Improve Articles Base Ranking

Tips to Improve Articles Base Ranking

ArticlesBase Ranking is calculated based on several parameters, such as the number of inbound links, the number of visits from different sources (such as search engines, forums, websites, etc.), the number of comments, and more.

So, how can you improve your article’s ranking? The following are some tips from the ArticlesBase team:

1. Links to the article: The more times your article is accessed from outside, the higher the ranking will be. Therefore, it is recommended you publish links to your articles on websites, blogs, forums, social networks, etc. We also high recommend you send a link to the article by email to friends and family or within a newsletter. When you post links, instead of using the URL or “click here” as the link text, use the name of the article. It will help with the search engines and people will know what they link is about.

2. Article Title: The article title is the first thing that the reader and search engines "see" so it should contain relevant keywords. On the other hand, in order to stand out among thousands of articles and actually lure the reader to further read the article, it is also important to have an interesting and attractive title. The title should contain the words people would use in a search engine to find your article. A good title will generate more views from search engines and more views from within the site.

3. Articles Summary: The article summary is an overview of the article - it is the "teaser" that will convince readers to further read your article. The summary appears on the website inside the categories, on the internal search results and on websites that display ArticlesBase RSS. For those reasons it is highly recommended that you write an excellent summary, one that will make readers want to read more.

It is recommended you use about 10 relevant keywords that describe the subject of the article and use them in the body of the article. It is important to avoid keyword abuse. For example, an article about loans shouldn't have the title "Loan - Loans". Even though two keywords are used here, most readers will find the title meaningless and will move on to the next article.

We hope to have helped with the tips above, and please feel free to contact us for any further questions, suggestions or comments..

The Big Lie of Easter

The Big Lie of Easter


"Why do you perpetuate pagan fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs and don't have anything for Passover? No little lambs, nothing. John the Baptist called Jesus the 'Lamb of God' - not the Easter bunny!" - so I wrote a popular family restaurant about their country store and was informed they received my email and would respond.

How many folks actually stop and THINK? How many question why the focus is on an Easter bunny and not on the Passover Lamb? Why have professing Christians enabled this deliberate diversion and deception? Where has the outrage been among those who profess to love the Lord when they see society swept away with hare-brained traditions? Why the tacit approval by deathly silence and default?

You will find people celebrating Passover throughout the Bible, including Jesus. But you won't find people celebrating Easter. The word Easter comes from an ancient fertility goddess. It's spelled in different ways but usually pronounced "Easter" or something like it. For instance, the Babylonians called her Ishtar. The Phoenicians worshipped their goddess Astarte. The Germans had Ostara. The Hebrews called her Ashtoreth. This is all the same goddess, and God condemned the Israelites for having anything to do with this pagan goddess of fertility and the dawn. - Shocked by the Bible
How can a Christian nation have anything to do with a pagan goddess? With the fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs long associated with Easter and exposed by history and condemned by the Bible? Any observance of Easter is as impudent as a whore who feels no shame for her sins.

Those who dishonestly continue to partake of Easter's modified pagan practices, its whitewashed heathen customs, are guilty of spiritual adultery! Such perverse Christians are whoring around with foreign gods and goddesses and undoubtedly will incur the wrath of God upon our nation of drunks and whores and illegitimate children (who have been sacrificed to demons rather than consecrated to God).

“Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall [the slain] at the time I punish them, they shall be cast down, says the LORD” (Jeremiah 6:15).

Traditional Christianity, like an adulterous woman, "…eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done no wickedness...'" (Prov. 30:20).

God let ancient Israel and Judah suffer NATIONAL DEFEAT, DESTRUCTION AND DEPORTATION due to their "harmless" religious celebrations! Has God changed His mind? Isn't Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever?

God condemns our countries for IDOLATRY — not just for immorality! Easter is both immoral and idolatrous, as are those worthless ministers who have let Easter take root and defile our land with its pagan pollutions. It is idolatry when religious folks continue to put pagan Easter above Passover (that the early Church of God faithfully observed), when they continue to pimp traditional religious lies of a "Sunday resurrection" - even though the plain truth of the Bible teaches: "After the women rested on the regular weekly Sabbath, they went to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday), "while it was still dark" (John 20:1), and found that He had already been resurrected (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:1-3)"- Easter: Masking a Biblical Truth .
