Nothing Happening in Meditation?
Many beginning meditators will complain of the lack of anything interesting happening when they sit down to meditate. They hear stories about awesome experiences that occur when others meditate and this is often one of the things that motivates people to begin meditating. They desire these same experiences. But what many fail to realize is that for these big experiences to happen they have to learn to open themselves up to the subtle experiences that are happening that they are simply unaware of because they are looking in the wrong place.
When people sit down to meditate they immediately look for “experiences they can relate to”. They are looking for some overt, over the top experience to grab them by the collar and take them for a ride.
These types of experiences definitely do happen, but usually only to people who have learned to open themselves to the Universe in the correct way.
The universe steps forward when everything is in the right place. If you aren’t open yourself to the manner in which the experience will come, you have blocked off the path in which it will appear. All the complaining in the world won’t change the fact that you refuse to open the door.
When you sit down to meditate, pay close attention to the subtle. Pay attention to the feelings and impressions you get. In the beginning, this is where the meat lies. Don’t expect crazy lights and black holes, pay attention to how things feel. The things that seem out of the ordinary. These are the experiences that will open your brain to more profound experiences down the road. ou are learning to navigate foreign spaces that your consciousness does not recognize.
Just sit and relax, keep your mind clear, and let whatever is going happen to you, happen. Don’t try to expect something in particular or box what starts to happen into a preconception of what you think it should be.
Spirituality is always something other that what you think it will be. This is the beauty of it and also the trap that keeps most from finding its secrets. By looking for experiences you can relate to, you end up missing what the Universe truly has to offer. What you are looking for are things you “cannot” currently conceive of.
The Core Program from the Higher Balance Institute is by far the most effective knowledge for understanding meditation that I have run across in my lifetime seeking out spirituality. Nothing comes anywhere close. I urge anyone who is serious about pursuing spirituality to make this investment into your eternity.

How to Buy Cheap International Air Tickets
Prospect of traveling overseas and exploring the unfamiliar destinations can be both gratifying and courageous for anyone. However, the luxurious airline tickets can obliterate the considered budget thereby robbing you of your hard earned money. With a little forethought and consideration, you can get the impressive line up of the great places without fearing about breaking the bank. I will give you tips on how can you travel without breaking your bank accounts.
Embarking on the following key tips can get you the most out of the money invested. Sounds great! Isn’t it? Reading correspondents regularly will keep you updated with fair information about the promotional airfares from known airlines. Newly start up airline companies can get you an equally good deal. Few beneficial tips are: -
1. If you will also need a hotel at your destination, booking a package vacation can save you money on both.
2. The more flexible you are about when you travel, the more likely you are to find a cheap flight ticket.
3. Purchasing air tickets from airline consolidators will save you a good amount of your hard earned money.
4. Book your airline tickets in advance for cheaper and aggravate free travel.
5. Checkout various travel websites as they offer cheap airline tickets along with other benefits.
Many airline companies offer gift vouchers and a hotel room at discount along with the airline tickets. They are the part of different travel packages offered by airline companies challenging powerfully for the customers. This essentially helps you to save your money in other areas.
Being bendable regarding schedules of the flight will help you to find your cost-effective flight tickets. Indeed, the weekdays like Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Saturdays are counted as the cheapest days to fly on. Heading on to late night flights, early morning flights, and the flights with a single stop generally fall under the category of the discounted airfares. If you are able to leave on Thursday and return on Monday you will often get better prices than if you fly Friday to Sunday.
Many travelers are well familiar of the reimbursement of purchasing air tickets from airline consolidators. They are the people who can help you to save loads of dollars on your airline tickets. Airline consolidators have accepted alliances and serve as a source for discount airline tickets offering savings over tickets bought from the airlines. They provide the customers with booking engine on their websites. This simplifies sequence of researching and booking the flights online for both regulars and new travelers. At times, in case of cancelled air tickets and delay in escape, airline consolidators may deny you the refunds and exchanges.
Whenever possible, get your air tickets in advance by reserving it few days ahead. Not only can this help you to save quite a bit of money but ensure availability of seats for the exact dates and times. Making an allowance for the time of year is next step to your savings on airfares. Summer season and coldness holidays attract visitors. This is because, they are known to be peak travel periods and getting the discount airline tickets during these times can be really tough. As such, holiday ‘blackout periods’ can avoid you from bringing your frequent flier miles into use. Contrary to this, flying in the months like January, end of February, April through May, and mid September can get you better rates.

Airfare Discounts For Funerals
airfare discounts for funerals
Cheap airfare needed to attend funeral?
I just found out this afternoon that one of my good friends was killed in a car accident last night. The funeral will be sometime this week in Florida, and I’m looking for cheap airfare to get down there. (I’m in Tennessee.)
I know the airlines have bereavement rates for family members. Is there any airline that has discounted rates even if you are not family?
Does anyone have any advice on finding a cheap rate? I’ve checked most of the travel websites with no luck. =(
Any help is greatly appreciated. Even if someone felt compelled to donate some frequent flier miles???
Thank you all for your help.
“Tell your family and friends how much you love them-TODAY, because you may not have them tomorrow!”
In loving memory…
Celeste Thompson (9/5/81 – 10/20/06)
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Try going to www.airtran.com. They have the cheapest tickets every time I fly from Florida to Illinois and back. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
How to Plan a Trip on a Budget
No matter how much gas prices climb, or how high airlines raise their prices, people will always need to travel. And though many Americans are eliminating long-distance vacations and other unnecessary trips from their schedules and their budgets, personal obligations like weddings, funerals, college visits and business trips continue to keep Americans on the go nationwide.
Many people used to cut travel expenses by skipping the airport for the national highway system (back before gas prices essentially doubled). However, this is no longer the money-saving option it once was, and Americans everywhere have to get more and more creative when it comes to planning trips in order to keep the overall expense both reasonable and manageable. Unfortunately, climbing gas prices are not only affecting American motorists, but the entire airline industry is feeling the crunch. This has resulted in the emergence of fees and costs never before seen among airline travelers fees for checked bags and even carry-on’s, and additional charges for drinks, snacks and meals on board. With all of these added fees (on top of higher ticket prices and fewer flights being scheduled across the board), air travel has become more expensive than ever.
But these primary forms of transportation are not unmanageable. Fuel efficient cars can help lighten the burden of a long distance drive, as can following simple tips like sticking to the speed limit, lightening the overall load you’re hauling, and making sure your tires are inflated to the correct pressure. These kinds of tactics will help you maximize your fuel efficiency and get where you need to go without wasting gas (and therefore, money).
Similarly, smart shopping and practical planning will allow you to plan a trip by air that won’t completely gouge your budget. One trick many people aren’t aware of is shopping for airfare on midnight of the first night of the month (so, shopping at midnight on October 31 for travel in November) this is when airlines post their newest (and lowest) fares. These are usually snapped up by travel agencies before daybreak, but a savvy Internet shopper can find a great deal if they act quickly.
Another trick for purchasing air travel is to stick to extremes, shopping either several months in advance, or only days before (if not day-of). These are the times when tickets are most reasonably priced; if it’s several months in advance, the demand for the tickets in question will likely not have peaked (which is when prices rise), while tickets bought the day of, or day before departure are usually discounted, since the airline is trying to sell off any unsold seats. Whatever you do, don’t try to buy a plane ticket within 21 to three days of travel this is when tickets are at their most expensive. And once you do purchase a ticket, make sure to carefully read the fine print associated with additional fees if they require a fee for checked bags, try to stick to a carry-on. If they charge a fee for food during the flight, bring your own.
If neither the highways nor the airlines will get you where you need to go at a reasonable price, check out your options by rail while a bit pricey, train travel can be significantly more economical (albeit more time consuming) than either of the other two travel standards.

Cheap Flights to Hong Kong
Cheap flights to Hong Kong are readily available and easy to find. With just a little bit of research, anyone who wants to experience the magic of Hong Kong can do so, with flights available to suit all budgets. An easy search on the Internet will show a large range of flights to Hong Kong, departing from all around the UK.
Before committing to booking cheap flights to Hong Kong, it is always worth thinking about a few things. For example, do you want to travel from your local airport and pay a slightly higher price, or is it worth your while travelling to one of the main London airports, and probably getting the flight for less. When considering this, remember to factor in added costs such as long-term parking.
Another consideration when booking cheap flights to Hong Kong is what you intend to do on your trip. Questions that you need to ask are whether you will want to stay in Hong Kong for the whole China holiday, or if you would prefer to travel throughout China and have a true China travel experience. Also, with the Olympics being held in Beijing, 2008, it is worth considering incorporating your visit to Hong Kong into a trip up country to Beijing.
If you decide to stay in Hong Kong for the greater part of your visit, you will not be disappointed. There is so much to do that even the most discerning traveller will find something to delight them. Whether you are going to Hong Kong for the shopping, the food, or just to take in the general “Hong Kong experience,” then booking a cheap flight to Hong Kong is just the beginning of your adventure.
If you are booking your cheap flights to Hong Kong from Heathrow or Gatwick, expect a non-stop, direct, long haul flight of around 12 hours. It is worth noting that similar flights are also available from most major European cities. This gives the traveller an even wider choice of cheap flight options.
Prices for flights to Hong Kong tend to go up around August and Christmas. If you are looking for a cheap flight to Hong Kong around this time, remember to book well in advance. However, with some forward planning, even at these times of the year, finding cheap flights to Hong Kong is possible.
On arriving in Hong Kong, the traveller is spoiled for choices on things to do and see. Most people are already aware of the shopping bargains to be found in Hong Kong. There will be something for everyone, as well as finding tailors who can make something made to measure in time for the traveller to take the item home!
Eating in Hong Kong is a joy for the senses. It is possible to taste almost every cuisine in the world, and there are meals for all budgets. These can range from a few dollars at a street-side eating place, or hundreds of dollars at somewhere more salubrious.
Hotels in Hong Kong can be expensive, due to the large land rents that are part of such a compact place. However, there is an extensive choice of places to stay. For budget travellers, it is worth checking out accommodation on the outskirts of the main areas.
When booking cheap flights to Hong Kong, it is worth checking out hotel deals at the same time. Many hotels offer large discounts at certain times of the year. With some of these often in the range of 50%, it may be possible to upgrade your Hong Kong travel experience for little extra cost.
Hong Kong also has a quieter and slower side to life that is not always obvious from the general hustle and bustle on the streets. As with most of China, there is a spiritual side to Hong Kong. It is possible to step from a crowded street into a quiet temple in most areas.
For the traveller who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of “the town that never sleeps,” there are also rural retreats to enjoy. Those travellers who are willing to take a boat and visit the outlying islands will be well rewarded. Here, you can find quiet beaches, take invigorating hill walks, and even take a boat trip to look for pink dolphins.
The huge Bronze Buddha is situated on Lantau, just a short boat ride from Hong Kong. Travellers will also find one of the last surviving fishing villages, and more challenging walks and treks.
When booking cheap flights to Hong Kong, it is worth planning your trip carefully. Whether using the cheap flight as a gateway to a whole China travel experience, or simply to spend a few days in the Hong Kong, any traveller will have an experience they will not forget.
how do we get cheap flights to bodrum in Turkey from the midlands?
We are struggling to find any cheap flights for a quick trip to Turkey to look at properties there – we only want to be there for a weekend. Good airports for us would be Nottingham, Doncaster, Standsted and maybe Birmigham. Any advice?

Man is Made in God’s Image? not in the Way You Think
Many people are familiar with the passage in the Bible that says that, ‘God created man in his own image’. When people hear this they immediately project human ideas on a non-human entity. They assume that this passage means that God has arms and legs, a head, a mouth, two eyes, etc. At the same time they will tell you that God is ever present, in all places at once. Obviously you cannot have a bodily form with spatial limits and also be omnipresent. What people fail to realize is that we are made in the image of God in a much more interesting but different way.
This universe you see around you is the body of God in this dimension. God exists in many dimensions simultaneously. If you could get far enough away from the Universe and looked back, it would look like one big thing. The same as a galaxy or a planet or an island or a person. But if you zoomed into any one of these things you would find they are actually made of up many smaller things.
Take a person, they look like on being, but if you zoom in, that person is actually made up of trillions of cells, living organisms that are independent life forms in their own right. Cells from your body can be taken out and grown in a petri dish and have no ill effects as long as they are fed. They can live for years without you being anywhere near them.
Look at the Earth. From space it looks like a blue ball. One thing. But zoom in far enough and you see a whole world of activity that was unnoticeable before. This is a concept know as micro/macro. The large mimics the small and the small mimics the large. The only difference is scale. But if you compare scales, you find that the bacteria on your arm compares to the size of you in the same way that you compare to the size of the planet. We are so tiny it is as if we are the bacteria of the planets surface. Zoom out and that huge blue ball becomes like bacteria among the other stars in our galaxy.
This is what is meant by being made in the image of God. We are a microcosm of the larger whole. God is one thing made of up smaller things, which are made up of even smaller things, on and on down the line until you reach the quantum level where everything becomes energy again. We are made in the same way, we are one thing made up of even smaller things. All of these things work together to create one synergy of being and shared experience.
It is also true to say that we are made in the Image of God because we, like God, are made up holographically. A hologram contains all the information of the whole in each part. Every cell in your body contains the entire blueprint for you body. In the same way, every division of energy in the Universe contains all the information of the rest of Universe. All is one.
It is a bad idea to project human ideas and human thinking onto spiritual concepts because they tend to get muddled up with our preconceptions and expectations. In order to be open to learning, you must take a position of “not knowing” and seek the answers out. If you assume you know what they will be, then why does your search end in vain?

Tips for finding low airfare to Tennessee? Thanx
?
any tips or websites to Knoxville or Nashville TN from California
Fly to Nashville. Reason for that is that Knoxville is only served by regional airlines that fly for the legacy carriers like Continental, Delta, United, and American. Those air fares will be a lot higher than flying into Nashville where the Legacy carriers themselves fly into. Nashville also has a lot of regional service, but you will find cheaper fares to there.
Also, Southwest serves Nashville. You can probably get either a non-stop from California to Nashville, or have very few connections and the air fare will be a lot cheaper.
I’ve lived in Nashville for a long enough time to know!

Panning Gold, Prospecting And Playing In The Creek
It took me over 32 years to find one of the coolest hobbies I have ever done! Gold panning can be one of the neatest things you can do! The first time I went panning was about 3 months ago. Me and my dad decided to go to Dahlonega, Ga for our first prospecting experience. It took about 3 hours to get there from Alabama and we were shocked!
Atlanta has spread all the way into Dahlonega and there were houses on every block. We drove around for a few minutes and finally found their empty lake. It was a great idea; people have probably never been to some areas in many years! The levels were super low and we instantly felt the importance of water.
We parked at the doc and walked down the lake side and found a really nice outcropping of Quart. We pecked around for awhile hoping to find a Gold band. We ended up walked about a mile down the lake and turned around and decided to leave. We drove east of Dahlonega and found a really nice flowing stream.
As soon as I got in the stream I could see that there were many different kinds of rock and minerals in the water. I sunk the pan in and pulled it up and let the water wash the top sand off. That is when I saw this very pretty yellow on the bottom of the pan. I screamed “I found gold!” My dad come over and he laughed and said that is fools gold. It was everywhere and if you tried to break it would crumble apart. We didn’t find any Gold but we did have a fun day and got to see a very awesome river for a short time!
If you didn’t know about gold here is a little info to get you started.
First, is a very heavy yellow metal. It has a specific gravity of 19.3 which means a quart of gold would weigh 19.3 times as much as a quart of water. As a comparison, lead has a specific gravity of about 11 so gold is almost twice as heavy as lead.
Malleable and Ductile. It can be hammered so thin that 250,000 sheets would be one inch high! One ounce can be drawn into a wire thirty five miles long.
Gold is never found pure in nature. It is usually alloyed with copper, silver and/or platinum.
Gold is so heavy it will act differently than the other material. So if you pan correctly it will stay in the bottom of your Pan!
Gold has a shiny structure and looks about the same in and out of the light.
Not sure you if you found gold? Take a hammer and if it breaks, you’re out of luck. If it is Gold It will bend and not break!
Not recommended for beginners -get some Nitric acid and drop it in there. If it doesn’t react then you may have Gold! Nitric acid is dangerous if it gets on you or you breathe the fumes it can hurt you! Research how to use it!
Where to find gold
1. A Stream passes through many miles of different minerals.
2. The density is ten times that of common sand! Therefore it naturally falls to the lower place in a stream.
3. A new supply can be found annually. Spring showers always wash new Gold down creek.
4. Being on the river can be a way to spend day.
5. It can be hard to get on properties these days, stick to public bridges. We do have the right of way in the streams!
6. The placer gold sometimes may lead a trail to the mother lode. If you find it you may never have to work again!
Which Streams contain gold?
There are 4 characteristics that you need to find gold!
1. The Stream can not be damned and flow freely.
2. You need to have rich mineral content in the area.
3. The creek needs enough elevation to churn in spring floods.
4. Stream path and rock formations facilitate the deposition of the dense materials (gold, lead, iron, mercury etc.)
Gold is found as the free metal and in tellurides. It is widely distributed and almost always associated with pyrite or quartz. Gold veins can be found in alluvial deposits. If you find a vein of quart peck around on it and be sure and look very good! People have found Quart rocks with gold all through it.
I have read that if you find black sand that is a great place to look for Gold! Another place to look is around a big rock or by an old log! That is where you may find a nice nugget that has been hiding for years!
Go find you a pan and plan a great get-away and go Panning Today!

We divided them into twelve tribes, nations; and we inspired Moses, when his people asked him for water, saying: smite with thy staff the rock! and there gushed forth therefrom twelve springs, so that each tribe knew their drinking-place. and we caused the white cloud to overshadow them and sent down for them the manna and the quails (saying): eat of the good things wherewith we have provided you. they wronged us not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.
Surah 7:171
and when we shook the mountain over them as if it were a covering overhead, and they thought that it was going to fall down upon them: take hold of what we have given you with firmness, and be mindful of what is in it, so that you may guard (against evil)
Surah 2:57
And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: “Eat of the good things We have provided for you:” (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own selves.
The Shadow furnished for people of the Prophet “Shu’aib” who denied him and their grievous day of punishment. The Prophet “Shu’aib” is never mentioned in the Bible. Is that because He was Arabic?
Surah 26:189
But they rejected and denied him (Shu’aib) and called him a liar (Shu’aib) then the punishment of the day of overshadowing gloom seized them, surely it was the punishment of a grievous day
Some facts about the Shadow:
Allah extends the shade; if He pleases He would certainly have made it stationary and then have made the sun an indication of it. Scientifically speaking, the shade will be stationary when the Earth stops its circular movement about itself. In such case, half of the Earth will be day and the other will be night.
So, the sun is the indicator for such event. Who could do that? It is Allah the Creator of the Sun.
Surah 25:45
Have you not considered (the work of) your lord, how he extends the shade? And if he had pleased he would certainly have made it stationary; then we have made the sun an indication of it
All things that Allah has created have their shadows and prostrate unto Him.
Surah 16:48
Have they not observed all things that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?
Surah 16:81
it is Allah who made out of the things he created, some things to give you shade; of the hills he made some for your shelter; he made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. thus does he complete his favors on you, that ye may bow to his will (in Islam).
Surah 35:21
19 and the blind and the seeing are not alike
20 nor the darkness and the light,
21 nor is the shadow equal with the sun’s full heat;
The Shadow at the Day of Judgment
At that horrible day, everything is already judged in justice.
Man is one of two, believer or unbeliever; each one has his own Shadow.
The Coming of Allah:
Surah 2:210
Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels? Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgment).
The Shadow for those who believe; this meaning is not mentioned in the Bible.
Surah 4:57
And as for those who believe and do good works, we shall make them enter gardens underneath which rivers flow – to dwell therein for ever; there for them are pure companions – and we shall make them enter plenteous shadow.
Surah 36:56
They and their associates will be in a pleasant shadow, reclining on thrones (of dignity);
Surah 76:14
And the shades of the (garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility (being easy to reach).
Surah 56:30
In shade long-extended,
Surah 77:41
as to the righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
The Shadow for those who do not believe; this implication is not cited in the Bible
Surah 56:43
And the shade of black smoke
Surah 77: 28-31
28 ah woe, that day, to the rejecters of truth!
29 (it will be said
30 “depart ye to a shadow (of smoke ascending) in three branches,
31 “(which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce blaze.
32 indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as palaces,
Surah 56:43
And the shade of black smoke
The following verse summarizes the Shadow for the believers and the unbelievers.
Surah 13:35
a likeness of the garden which the righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is the fire
