Mastery is the highest form of personal development. It reflects the inner
workings of our spirit.
Before our arrival on this planet, we were
given freewill. As young children, we experience life in its purest
form. We are capable of great love, but also of great hate if we do
not develop properly. Our technological development has surpassed
our current personal development. We still war amongst ourselves and
have forgotten who we are. We are still facing self-protection, control,
poverty, corruption, elitism, environmental rape, and the horrific
crime of hurting our own kind.
The
spirits of individuals that are forced to leave this world because of tragic circumstances and travel back from the
other side often come back with stories
that indicate that we have embraced little of who we are here. This
site exists so that we may explore the human possibilities of development
and growth. One day perhaps, harmony will surpass the greed and control
of modern society and the fear in self-protection. We must take personal
responsibility for our planet and its people.
We
all have the power to change our world.........
Be grateful for something every day. When you look at people try to pick out something of value in them.
Don't hesitate to acknowledge this. Compete with better standards for yourself. Competition with others is dispersive of energy. Acknowledge their value and see what you can contribute.
When others succeed, then you will too. Remember to focus on the big picture. It is not about winning arguments, but rather about bringing ideas together for mutual growth and accomplishment.
Remove the negative things from your life. Practice saying what you want in life and then visualize what it takes to get there and what it would be like. Don't focus on your mistakes and start over everyday.
Know that your mind takes in what you expose it to. If you want more good things seek out more good things and avoid the negative inputs.
Be good to your body, it houses your spirit. Know that there are many kinds of beauty and that not all of us see it the same way. That in itself is beauty. You will better love others when you learn to love yourself.

has a purpose in life ... a unique gift or special talent to

to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own
spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals. - pg. 93,

Many
races have made glorious cultural contributions to our planet. The
pyramids, stonehedge, Indian cave drawings, ancient scrolls, and many
other things have given humans unique and interesting styles. Appreciating
these qualities makes life more interesting and contributes to human
development.
Many of us remember traditions that held a connection
to our interactions with others and our community. These things give
us a sense of culture and belonging. In world travels, it become evident
that culture exists and enriches the lives of those in that community.
Recognizing the value in this is part of respecting human expression.

Stonehenge
Stonehenge
is believed to originate around 2500 BC. Its sturcture and purpose
have been under speculation for centuries.This English prehistoric
display of large stones that are stacked and placed in a circular
fashion indicate that someone had intended for them to be that way.
Some have speculated that it was a burial place, a time measurement,
or a healing place.
There
is a legend of giants helping Merlin build Stonehenge. This Arthurian
legend indicates that these stones originated from Africa and that
the rocks were nicknamed, "The Giant's Dance". According
to the legend, Stonehenge was originally built in Ireland and was
later moved to England. Apparently, after the giants placed the stones
in Ireland, men could not move the stones until Merlin stepped in
and used "gear" and aquired skills to move them. (Source:
