Why living with and tending plants is good for you

“Emotionally, they are helpful to mental wellbeing. And plants can also be a way to reflect on your cultural origins or remember holidays.” She cites the recent book The Well Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith. “The author quotes a study that found that being in the presence of indoor plants – or looking at scenes of nature – prompted people to make decisions that showed higher levels of generosity and trust, and had a sociability effect. She describes one woman who started looking after some cacti and found the process very healing and therapeutic, and she writes that ‘plants are like people, they need your help. Without you they don’t live’.”

Obituary: Sir Sean Connery

For many, Sean Connery was the definitive James Bond. Suave and cold-hearted, his 007 was every inch the Cold War dinosaur of the books.

He strode across screen, licensed to kill. He moved like a panther, hungry and in search of prey. There was no contest. His great rival, Roger Moore, by contrast, simply cocked an eyebrow, smiled and did a quip.

But whereas Ian Fleming’s hero went to Eton, Connery’s own background was noticeably short of fast cars, beautiful women and vodka Martinis – either shaken or stirred.

Humble origins

Thomas Sean Connery was born in the Fountainbridge area of Edinburgh on 25 August 1930, the son of a Catholic factory worker and a Protestant domestic cleaner.

His father’s family had emigrated from Ireland in the 19th Century; his mother traced her line back to Gaelic speakers from the Isle of Skye.

The area had been in decline for years. Young Tommy Connery was brought up in one room of a tenement with a shared toilet and no hot water.

He left school at 13 with no qualifications and delivered milk, polished coffins and laid bricks, before joining the Royal Navy. Three years later, he was invalided out of the service with stomach ulcers. His arms by now had tattoos which proclaimed his passions: “Scotland forever” and “Mum & Dad”.

In Edinburgh, he gained a reputation as “hard man” when six gang members tried to steal from his coat. When he stopped them, he was followed. Connery launched a one-man assault which the future Bond won hands down.

He scraped a living any way he could. He drove trucks, worked as a lifeguard and posed as a model at the Edinburgh College of Art. He spent his spare time bodybuilding.

ANGELS

Our readers experience with entities ,Angels

Our  readers experienced what they call angels  , one question here is to ask how you know if it is an angel and not other entities mimicking an angel  , as I know there is a demon or Jinn goes by the name of NORAN he always appears as a light , lantern over head  and people think it is an angel , but nevertheless these are the experience of those who witnessed them 

A Blanket from an Angel

My baby was in the hospital having a 4-hour surgery. My estranged husband was not present. At this time, our marriage was crumbling. But even worse, I was afraid for my baby’s life. When I arrived in the waiting room an older lady was sitting there working on a quilt with words from the “Serenity Prayer” on it. It said, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

She asked me if the little baby boy is mine and when I confirmed, she took my hand and said a prayer with me. I asked who is she is making the quilt for and she replied that God will show her who will need it. Hours later I was called into the recovery room and my baby son was fine. When I came outside the lady gave me the quilt and told me she now knows who she has been making it for. I have kept it in her honor and my now-5-year-old son is sleeping in his bed covered by It.

Envy is the prison of the spirit

Quran miracle showed that the bible 72 demon of King Solomon is also in one of the Quran chapter.

The 72nd chapter of the Quran entitled AL-Jinn (The Jinn.

In the Bible King Solomon managed in God help to captured and put to his service 72 of those jinn / demons, along with their legions as each of those jinn have 600 to 6000 legion under their order.  Each having multiple legions each legion is 6000 lesser demons.

The jinn are said to be creatures with free will, created from ‘smokeless fire’ by God  According to the Quran, jinn have free choice, and Satan used this freedom in front of God by refusing to bow to Adam when God  commanded him to do so.

 By refusing to obey God’s order he was thrown out of the Paradise and called “Shaitan” (Satan). In the Quran, jinn are frequently mentioned and the Surah (chapter) number 72 of the Quran is called Al-Jinn (the Jinn). This chapter is entirely about the jinn (evil and demons)

Surah (Chapter) 27:17
God said that he; gathered to Solomon his army of jinn, humans and birds; gathered and dispersed.

In general, Jinn are mentioned 36 times in the Quran.   And in the bible LUKE 8; 36 s a verse talking about a man who was possessed with a devil .and how that Jesus managed to cast the demon out in the name of God. So the number 36 is half of 72.  Demon number 36 in the list of nabi Sulaiman is called Stoles (Stolas) he is one of demons prince.

Sorat Yā Sīn (also Yaseen; Arabic 🙂 is the 36th sūrah of the Quran. It has 83 verses (āyāt). It is used among other ayaat to get rid of bad jinn, cleansing demons.

Look the beauty of Quran using all chapters and verses and sometimes echo what the bible was saying in same mathematical order.

King Solomon true name was Jedidiah, the ‘friend of God’ but was
later made Shelomo, Solomon, and the ‘King of Peace,’ because of the peace that prevailed during the greater part of his reign.

And other names he had also: Ben,

It is written that at the time Solomon began the building of the Temple, Assaf, the Wazir of Solomon, complained that someone was stealing precious jewels from his rooms, and from other courtiers as well. Even the royal treasury was not immune. Now Assaf was also renowned for his wisdom and knew that no ordinary thief could have done these deeds. ‘Some evil spirit causes this mischief,’ he counseled the King.

Solomon then prayed fervently to God to deliver the wicked spirit into his hands for punishment. At once his prayer was answered. The archangel Michael appeared before the King, and put into his hand the mightiest power that ever was or shall be in this world a small, golden ring, inset with a seal of engraved stone. It has Iron and copper sides and Golden ring with the sacred name of God.

And Michael said: ‘Take this ring, O Solomon King, son of
David, the gift which the Lord God hath sent unto thee. Wear this ring, and all the demons of the earth, both male and female, thou wilt command.’

Now, many medieval sources claim that the pentalpha, or
pentacle, the ancient sign of sorcery, was engraved on the ring, because Solomon was said to have been a master of the magic arts. But the pentacle is older than Solomon,
first seen on pottery from Ur of the Chaldees, in ancient Babylon.

Spirit attachments, Ghosts, bipolar personality, and mood swings

Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain , when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.  Over time, however, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, dressing in scary costumes, decorating homes, carving pumpkins and more.

One common factor between Celtic and modern cultures still remains. Halloween has always been primarily focused on ghosts and death. What many people don’t realize is that certain Halloween activities that focus on spirits could turn out to be dangerous because they can contribute to spirits possessing our bodies.

What comes to mind for many people when they think about possession of spirits are scenes from horror movies in which a person shakes uncontrollably, vomits, says vile things, etc. The book “Possessed by Ghosts” portrays possession in a very different manner. You even get the impression that possession is a common occurrence in today’s world.

Yes, I can confirm that possession is a common occurrence in today’s world and Hollywood’s interpretation of it is far, far from reality. But the goal of horror movies was never to educate people, but rather to entertain them

When Mood Swings Make Sense

It is perfectly natural to experience anxiety and to suffer from mood swings, especially during times like this when the world is experiencing a pandemic and there is so much uncertainty. Nonetheless, when we are in the midst of a severe mood swing, it can feel extremely overwhelming.  Sometimes situations in our lives cause us to go from one extreme to the other, up and down, and it’s like being trapped on a never-ending roller-coaster ride.  We feel torn inside, unable to make clear decisions, and our judgment is clouded by the uncertainty. 

It’s not only difficult on the person suffering from mood swings, but also on the loved ones that surround them.  They’re forced to walk on eggshells because they don’t know what might trigger another episode of negative behavior.  They also live in constant fear because they never know if they can count on their loved ones or who will show up, Jekyll or Hyde.

We hear from people on a regular basis who suffer from mood swings, and also from the loved ones that are living with those who are experiencing drastic mood swings. They tell us things like:

“I go through these phases where I can’t control my shopping habits and how much money I spend.  When I’m in the process of shopping, I feel happy and euphoric.  But then afterward, I feel depressed and lost.”

“Sometimes everything seems impossible or difficult, even a little task or errand feels overwhelming.  Then, a few hours later, I’m bursting with energy and feel as if I can conquer the world.  I many projects that I want to accomplish, but they never come to realization because the high pops and become deflated.  It’s an endless cycle.”  

“My husband is loving, caring, and giving most of the time, but at other times, he is extremely aggressive to the point I fear he could hurt me.” It is all about addictions, to shopping, sex, drugs, alcohol, even romance can be an addiction if it is not under control, abuse, power, control, greed, lust and everything that make your adrenal rush can lead to an addiction . Bipolar people have tendency to do this more than others. Before you ask the psychic and medium, you must seek the treatment and the truth from a man of science, psychologists, doctors and psychiatrists as your problem could be a paranoia, psychosis, severe anxiety, anger issue, or depression, then in the end you can blame the spirit for it .

In my experience with more than 2000 paranormal investigation since 1986 to now I found that almost 90% of those cases are 100% psychological problems that goes away when the person take his/ her medications, seek doctors help and get the real help from a train physician and or clinical psychologist . People can see things, hear things , and they think that it is a paranormal events but it is not in 90% of the time, it is so real for them but the cause is not a spirit attachment, that doesn’t mean there are no attachments, as in same case I do believe it is .  

 Does Spirit Attachment Cause Mood Swings?

Many people don’t realize that a common symptom of spirit attachment is an extreme or rapid change in mood.  Typically, mood swings occur when a person has two or more spirits attached that have opposite personalities, and this is why our emotions swing back and forth like a pendulum. But this is also can cause by mental disorder, bipolar disorders, anxiety and depression, psychosis and the list goes on and on.

Just like humans, spirits have different personalities, different reactions to various matters, and different perceptions of reality.  So imagine what happens if we have two spirits attached to us, one with extroverted traits and the other with introverted traits?  Our behavior will reflect both of these characteristics, and which characteristic prevails at any given moment will depend on which spirit is currently in control.  

This can be compared to three people inside a car.   I disagree with this as in my opinion only one kind of spirit can attached to you in 99% of the times , spirit that fit you or oppose you, so if you are introverted you attract same kind of spirit , and if you are extrovert you attract the same . It is the energy science behind that attraction and repulsion like 2 same polarity of magnet. If it happens that you attract an opposite spirit to your personality you will show trademark of bipolar personality.

Well, the world of spirits is built around emotions and they will always intensify these emotional states to extreme, dangerous levels in people with whom they are attached.  Hence, isolation and socialization will be taken to such intense levels that a person could find themselves going to extremes. One might feel deeply depressed and worthless, experiencing a lack of energy, and having difficulty concentrating. Then, shortly after, one might have a decreased need for sleep, an increase in activity levels, and ultimately display impulsive or high-risk behavior.

That’s all depends on the stress level that you have , and the factors that led to it, like an argument at work or home, lost of job and so on.  

This can also apply to other situations in life.  For example, feeling devoutly religious one minute, and then hating God the next; feeling love for someone at times, but then despising them at other times; liking certain tasks for awhile, then suddenly dreading them. Such shifts in mood could happen multiple times per day, which becomes burdensome and psychologically and physically overwhelming. Here is the devil plays big part of it as he always want you away from God, blame God for everything and he is trying to get you away from prayers and make you fat away from God as possible . When can isolate you then he can control you and play with you like a cat play with a mouse.

Not all people who experience mood swings suffer from spirit attachment.  However, when traditional treatment and therapies don’t offer satisfactory results, it would be wise to determine if you or a loved one might be under the influence of spirits.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder characterized by extreme exhaustion or lethargy that does not go away with rest and cannot be explained by an underlying medical condition. For the medical world, the exact cause of chronic fatigue syndrome still remains unknown.

Some reports estimate that approximately thirty million people worldwide suffer from chronic fatigue and ninety percent of people who suffer from CFS are not diagnosed. Twenty-five percent of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome feel severely ill and are unable to function. Chronic fatigue can affect everyone, even children–however, more women than men experience CFS.

According to Harvard Medical School, “Chronic fatigue syndrome begins suddenly, often following a flu-like infection or an episode of physical or psychological trauma, such as surgery, a traumatic accident or the death of a loved one. Or rejection from someone you love, the illness lasts for many months or years, and only a small percentage of people recover full health.”  

In addition to fatigue, many people experience reduced concentration, loss of memory, frequent headaches, muscle pain, enlarged lymph nodes on their neck or armpits, sleep disorders, and lack of enthusiasm.  

Over the last forty-five years of freeing people from spirit and ghost attachments, we have discovered that the majority of people who reach out to us for help suffer from chronic fatigue. Lack of energy is a frequent indication that one is dealing with spirit attachment in the eye of some psychic but to me I know it is 90% psychological problem and only 10% spiritual in nature.

When a soul doesn’t transition to the other side, it will eventually become weaker and weaker. As a result, all spirits that remain among the living must find a source of energy in order to function. Again this what some medium says but to me. The good spirits always in God hands and it will go without fear to the other side, and only come to visit you under God permission or it come in your dreams. The other spirit who are not sure they stay in limbo between this world and the other side as their heart still belong to this world  , due to greed or other earthly factors .

 Most spirits don’t know how to recharge their own energy, so they are forced to steal it from the living. At first a spirit might draw small amounts of energy from various people until it permanently attaches to one specific human being, or a place.

Individuals who are physically healthy and emotionally strong resist spirit attachments to them.

Halloween stories – the history of Bloody mary legend

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody…even joking about the mirrored specter gives me
chills. Some say you have to mention her name 3 times and others say 7 times, but the truth is 13 times .

One of the most popular urban legends is that of Bloody Mary, the spirit of a woman who can be summoned by repeating her name thirteen times into a dimly lit mirror. For whatever reason, this practice has persisted across generations with research on the topic beginning in 1978 when Jane Langlois wrote about the “game” as she came to call it and the origins. In 2014, Italian researchers explored the science and psychology behind Bloody Mary, ultimately adding a bit of credibility to the legend. If this story is true then it essentially proves witchcraft,
ghosts, and an afterlife; a truly extraordinary claim.

A surprising number of adults will admit to at least hearing about the infamous “Bloody Mary” (or any of her variations) and the ritual to summon her at least once in their lives. If any of ese individuals are like me, the story was told at a sleepover or campfire by a friend or older peer. As with most legend the story started with “A friend of a friend” or “My cousin’s friend”, to d validity and personality to the story, attempting the ritual. Alan Dundes writes in his article.

Russian Sleep experiments

creating a monsters in nazis and russian prisons ,The story recounts an experiment set in a late–1940s Soviet test facility. In a military-sanctioned scientific experiment, five political prisoners were kept in a sealed gas chamber, with an airborne stimulant continually administered in order to keep the subjects awake for 30 consecutive days. The prisoners were falsely promised that they would be set free from the prison if they completed the experiment.

The subjects behaved as usual during the initial days, talking to each other and whispering to the researchers through the one-way glass, though it was noted that their discussions gradually became darker in subject matter. After nine days, one subject began screaming uncontrollably for hours while the others had no reaction to his outburst.

How can you deal with a bad day and learn from it.

We are all have bad days .Your car breaks down, you wait two hours at the doctor’s office, a nonsensical policy change is announced at work, you sit on your glasses, and you start making dinner and realize you’re missing an essential ingredient. Forgot you mask and then started to get worried about covid .forgot to feed your pet and you are in the middle of the road toward your work etc. what if we did this or that, makes tired and lose sleep and it can lead to depression

I woke up feeling tired, I blamed the cold and the snow, I did shovel and cleaned the snow from my front garage and the garden large patio .I was angry that winter here is too long almost 8 months. I lose my beautiful garden and song birds; the summer is too short in Calgary. Maybe I should move to BC. Your mind gives you so many scenarios and option but the reality is that I can’t move now until I sale my house and that will happen in 18 months, 3 weeks and 16 hours from now. Who’s counting anyway, LOL?
Researching this topic was a real eye-opener for me. I feel as though I’ve learned so much about emotions in general, and more than that, it’s opened up a new level of acceptance for myself and the way negative emotions present in my life. DONT LOOK BACK, DONT WORRY ABOUT THOSE WHO DONT CARE FOR YOU, you pray for them and wish them all the best , but karma will get them one day and show them how they were wrong about you and how they made a bad choice . This is their lives and not yours so keep focus and keep going .

I’ve definitely fallen victim to thinking that negative emotions need to be banished from my emotional repertoire and felt that they lessened my emotional intelligence through how I react to them. Learning that not only are they completely normal, but with a little bit of work, openness and curiosity from me, I could learn to develop better compassion and control.

If there is one thing I want you to take away from reading this article, it’s the compassion piece for your full capacity to experience emotions as a human being. Negative emotions are an extremely important part of our existence. Be open to them, embrace their part in your life and learn to incorporate them in proactive ways. Remember to respond rather than react, and I’m confident you’ll find new ways of approaching these emotions with authenticity and positivity. LOVE THOSE WHO HATES YOU, CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNGRATEFUL, TEACH THOSE WHO DIDN’T TEACH YOU, help those who didn’t help you in moderation, and always show the genuine compassion of your soul

Drifting away a Family estrangements are fundamental to the human story

Family estrangements are fundamental to the human story, starting the day that God tossed Adam and Eve from the garden. Likewise, in Greek mythology, there’s Electra, who murdered her mother to avenge her father, and Tantalus, who cooked his son and fed him to Olympian gods.  Then Abraham who almost killed his son Ishmael as a sacrifice just when he puts the knife on his neck , God stopped him and replace the sacrifice with a lamb.

Marriage may fall ,partners drifting away from each other, romance turn to boring life and a nutshell routine,  family cut-offs have led to painful, shattering ends: King Henry II was forever on edge fielding challenges and betrayals from his sons; Mozart’s marriage left him estranged from his father, the controlling, nagging, unbearable Leopold;  This king also killed most of his wives and broke the catholic law by marring his wife sister after killing here , that’s why he discovered the Anglican church to separate from the catholic  and make his own rules.

 The American founding father Benjamin Franklin broke from his son, William, who supported the British king. Then there was the rift between Ronald Reagan and his activist daughter, Patti; and between Barack Obama’s, Jr and Sr. the list goes on.

Estrangements between siblings are especially brutal. The sisters and Hollywood stars Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine engaged in a lifelong feud. Julia Roberts helped to fund a custody battle against her brother and fellow actor, Eric. From Cleopatra to Genghis Khan, the powerful have murdered or cut off their siblings as a matter of routine.

I’ve seen breakups in my own family. My brother and his wife, I tried hard to make them back but few years later they are departed, I blame my brother behavior for losing such a wonderful and beautiful woman. I bought them a house  and helped them so much but at the end all the money I spent didn’t help at all . When you lose respect you lose the passion and romance.

The statistics on family estrangement vary by study but are always sobering. In 2015, the psychologist Richard Conti of Kean University reported that more than 43 per cent of the 154 students he surveyed had experienced a family estrangement.

 More recent statistics come from Karl Pillemer, a family sociologist and gerontologist directing the Cornell Family Reconciliation Project. In his latest book, Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them (2020), he reports that among a representative sample of 1,340 Americans aged 18 and older, 27 per cent were estranged from a relative – including 10 per cent estranged from a parent or child, 8 per cent from a sibling, and the remaining 9 per cent estranged from a smattering of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other relations. Half of these estrangements had gone on for at least four years. Looking only at immediate families, Pillemer estimates that nearly 20 per cent of American adults are in a state of estrangement right now.

This cold stat shows the human suffering caused by estrangement. ‘Being rejected by family, or deciding to leave, can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a person’s life, ‘writes the social work researcher Kylie Agllias in Family Estrangement: A Matter of Perspective (2016). ‘Adult children are maligned for estranging an older parent, or parents shamed for casting out a child,’ and sibling estrangements are ‘often overlooked altogether’.

Thankfully, a group of therapists and social scientists are forging a road back. One of them is the American psychologist Joshua Coleman, author of the forthcoming book  Rules of Estrangement. His interest in the field was sparked after his own daughter, then in her early 20s, cut him off. ‘It was the most painful, disorienting thing that I’ve ever had to go through,’ he tells me. He consulted a series of therapists who gave him ‘terrible, counterproductive advice, from telling me to point out all the good things I’d done for her to demanding she talk to me’.

 None of it worked so Coleman came up with a plan of his own: he would see everything through his daughter’s eyes and take responsibility for her complaints. It took a while, but the strategy was effective, and his daughter took him back. ‘We are now very close,’ he says.

A complementary perspective comes from Pillemer. ‘Can’t live with them, can’t live without them,’ he says of families after decades of research. Despite the cheery view of family depicted in media, in reality ‘most people have an ambivalent experience’, he says. As part of the research for his earlier book 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans (2012), Pillemer asked the elderly about life lessons they valued most. ‘A surprising number … talked about family estrangements as the most disruptive [and] distressing’ events of all, he says.

Finding almost no existing research on the topic, Pillemer stepped into the breach, launching a series of studies including a national survey­ and in-depth interviews. These people, who’d been through estrangement, were ‘despondent’, says Pillemer. But as the interviews continued, he ran into a minority who had successfully reconciled after 10, 20 or even 30 years. ‘For them it was so powerful, it was such a transformative experience’ that Pillemer shifted his focus to them, culling their wisdom into his new book Fault Lines.
