Nurse reveals 5 biggest regrets that people make in their deathbed
Today my friend posted a link to an interesting article in facebook. The article is written by a nurse and it reveals the top 5 most common regrets that people make on their deathbed.
To avoid these regrets ourselves, we can take proactive action from today. I have said in my ebook, to live with wisdom is to imagine you’re 90 years old and looking back at the decades of your life. Then from that future standpoint looking back, you will see the things that you value most jump out among the insignificant and the mistakes. The things that you value the most will be obvious to you.
I find the last regret on her list is interesting. People wish that they had let themselves be happier. In their deathbed, they finally realize that happiness is something you allow yourself to be. It is not something that you need to earn, or something that someone else gives you. No matter how many people love you, like you, adore you, how rich you are, how much stuff you have, you can still feel unhappy. Think of people like Elvis, or those rich and famous people who have driven themselves to suicide. They had everything but they did not let themself feel happy and grateful.
Happiness and gratitude, and all other states in this world, is something you choose and allow yourself to express. There are people who feel anger and rage at the slightest things, while others who experienced the same circumstances just shrug their shoulders and can still feel cheerful.
In my ebook Secret Techniques of Manifesting, I said all states are choices of your own. Do not chase after happiness. Stop, and just feel happy. It is not out there. It is and always has been within you, waiting to be expressed and felt.
Our emotional states are creative and works according to the law of attraction. When you enter into a state, you are creating more events that match that emotional state. If you enter into a state of anger, you are attracting to yourself new events to make yourself angrier still. If you enter into happiness, you are attracting more happy events.

The Bodhi Tree by Rev. Tirza Ericson
Today I would like to share a very insightful extraction of meaning from someone I really respect. Her name is Rev. Tirza Ericson of Life’s Light (www.lifslight.org). Tirza was a student of Neville Goddard. Like Neville, she had the great gift of extracting psychological and spiritual meaning from ancient texts. Where Neville focused his time on characters of the Bible, Tirza went on to extract meaning from the life story of the Buddha.
Here it is below by Tirza Ericson:
THE BODHI TREE
...In the beginning of no beginnings and the end without endings, was the Creator (some call Him Brahmin). As the World Soul, He had the power to preserve (a.k.a. Vishnu) and destroy (Shiva), because whatever He identified it, that’s what it was. He decided to make something He could see, relate to and experience as real, not just theorize about, so He made Man (Manu) or man-i-festation. He man-i-fested His World view with them. If He could not make their experience completely believable, it would be no fun, so He apparently contracted himSelf as them to experience them with all the tones of reality and unreality.
…So through King Sudhodanna (pseudo-dawn) and Queen Maya (illusion), He gave birth to himSelf in four castes – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and named himSelf Siddhata Gautama, the embodiment of All Being through experience, specifically of what is not, in order to fully realize himSelf, in a first person singular, individual and therefore, indivisible way.
…With the Law of Imagination Creates Reality, He gave himSelf anything His heart desired. On His day of birth, He even gave himSelf a wife, also of God-like lineage, to be His playmate.
…But as in all things, while absorbed in the good stuff of life, he failed to see the bad stuff of life, until one day, He wandered out too far to the extreme boundary of His good kingdom and found bad or evil. What a shock! His parents hadn’t told Him about that. They preferred that He only experience the good, as all good parents do. But like all children, Siddhata became determined to experience this other side of life, too. He felt without that experience as well, He could not experience true happiness (i.e. wholeness or hol-I-ness).
…So against His Father’s wishes, Siddhata ran away to experience the other or opposite side of Life. He gave away all the clothes and belongings of his now former identity as son of a good and wealthy King and donned the rags of poverty and suffering. Since He still kept the Law with Him, “Imagination Creates Reality,” this life, too, took on all the tones of reality by His agreeing to give His Life to it.
…What a life it was: starvation, deprivation, begging for food, being mocked and derided as a fool, scorned and prejudiced. Pretty soon, He was pretty mortified in body, mind and emotions, and slowly began to realize this couldn’t possibly be It either. He still was not happy and found that He, like any common drunk, was somehow only escaping reality – He knew He wasn’t living It – True Reality seemed to elude Him.
…Siddhata sat down between the two extremes of His life at the foot of the Bodhi Tree. He vowed to stay there until the Real Truth dawned on Him (no more pseudo-dawn). And, of course, It did, from this Middle position, where He stopped aspiring and striving for something He already was. He called this The Middle Path and stayed there for 7×7 days (49 or 4+9=13, the completion of the cycle of Maya -12- and the beginning of new and Divine Life called Nirvana).
…Of course, He’d come to realize worshipped multiplicities of persons, places and things, alive or dead, was idol worship. There was nothing outside of Consciousness or God, so therefore, nothing outside to worship. But like Siddhata, now known as Buddha (the Enlightened One), His students seemed destined to find this out through their own experience, even though Buddha told them not to worship idols.
…He told them not to worship Him either, but, of course, they did. He told them 8 do’s and 5 don’ts to follow – simple, but not easy.
…Three things Buddhist monks who followed Him required themselves to follow were poverty, inoffensiveness and celibacy. Between the 8 do’s of right action (personal will in action) and the 5 don’ts of abstinence, we clearly have a set up to teach each student the Middle Path between these opposites, found from experience. This is called Life, the Teacher, Awakening from what is not into That Which Is.

Life Energy (Qi) and The Law Of Attraction for Manifesting
A lot of students on the Law of Attraction believe that all they have to do is to think good thoughts, and their life will turn good accordingly. Although that is true for the most part, they have forgotten the other aspect of the Law of Attraction. It is Life Energy.
I maintain that everything is Mind Energy.The pure rays of thought, if not imbued with life energy, does not carry the force to achieve its outcomes. As an analogy, It is great to have a powerful car and know where you want to go, but without petrol, the car is very much useless.
In ancient China, they stated that Qi, which is Life Energy, is the force that permeates everything in this world. Qi is the force of Life itself.
Life Energy is the juice of life. Since the Law of Attraction is a law of vibration, we must understand that vibration is all about energy. You will realize from experience, that your thoughts can manifest much faster and effortlessly when you the Operator is filled with Life Energy.
In fact, we have all experienced that when we are enervated and exhausted, it is very hard to think positive thoughts. In the Huna traditions, it is well known that when a person is low in Mana(Life Energy), he or she is vulnerable to negative thoughts and outside forces. In this regard, Life Energy also act as a energy shield around our energy bodies, first as a means of protection, and secondly to preserve our Power of Individuality.
Your power to influence is also dependant largely on your level of Life Energy. The people who have great influence over others are often claimed to have a strong magnetism and charm about them.
I recommend students to practise any form of energy accumulation practises. You can learn Qigong (Chi gong), Taichi, Reiki, Energy Healing, or Pranayama. Life energy accumulation is not limited only to physical energy practises. It can also be accumulated mentally by means of affirmation, suggestion, imagination and belief.
In my ebook Secret Techniques For Manifesting with Imagination, I taught a special method of accumulating life energy using your mind and imagination. Using this method, you can by using your imagination refill yourself with life energy. This method establishes a mental contact with Life Energy, as it conveys to your consciousness and subconscious mind the intent of accumulating life energy.

Consciousness is Fundamental – Reality is Imagination condensed
Reality is an expression of Consciousness. Let’s have a look at what one of the great minds in the field of science have found.
Max Planck received the Nobel Prize in 1918 for his discovery of quantum theory. He believed that a scientist is a man of imagination and faith, by “faith” he implied “a working hypothesis”.
In 1931 he said ,”I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
He said in 1944:
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
Planck saw that matter was an energy of vibration that is held together by an Intelligence, which is Consciousness (or mind). This parallels the view in mysticism that everything exist as a matter of Imagination, or Consciousness.
As an Imaginist (one who believes in the power of consciousness and imagination), I will add that the entire universe exist by virtue of Imagination. All matter and energy is contained in the world of Consciousness.
So how can we take something we imagine and turn it into reality? Simply by the fact that manifested reality is constructed from Consciousness. Without Consciousness, there is no force and intelligence to hold something together. Mind is the blueprint of reality. Matter is the building materials that is organized together by that blueprint. Since matter is energy held together by consciousness, then Reality is Imagination condensed to a denser vibration. In other words, reality is an effect of what was imagined.
“He calls on things that were not seen as though they were seen, and the unseen becomes seen.” (Romans 4:17)

Disrupting The Routines Of Life For Change
Everytime you disrupt a routine, you open up a portal to new possibilities.
In our everyday lives, whenever we disrupt a routine, we create new experiences. For example you may leave your house the same time every morning, walk the same path, take the same train to work. And you’ve been doing that for everyday for the last 10 years. To disrupt that routine, you can try going a bit earlier, walk a different path to the station, and you will be on a different train than the one you usually take. By doing that deliberately, you have set forth certain chain reactions.
Firstly you will have a very different experience, you will feel the freshness and energy of a new experience. Secondly, you will encounter different people and different events. Thirdly, whenever you break a routine, your vibration for the day is changed, and that change can ripple to other areas of your life during the day.
You can try to disrupt your other routines. If you’ve always shopped at a certain shop, try another shop. Always go to the same restaurant and the same food? Try another next time.
In the realm of mind, if you continue your routine thoughts every day, it will not bring about any change in your life. You cannot attract anything new with routine thoughts. Therefore we must disrupt our routine thoughts in some ways, to open up to new possibilities. Break the old pattern, and you will see new patterns emerging.
We live not to go thru the same routine every single day. Life is an adventure. Life is a playground and buffet of experience. Open up and allow for change.

ESP mental abilities can be trained
There does exist a few people in this world that commands great psychic mental abilities. These few have strong minds that do cast a spell on others from a distance. Below is an excerpt from author/psychic Harold Sherman on an individual named Harry Loose, who was a detective with the police force. Mr Loose revealed himself to be a person with great and unusual mental abilities. In Harold Sherman’s writings, he wrote about the strange circumstances on how he came to meet Mr Loose, and how Mr Loose already knew Sherman’s name and background, and was expecting Sherman to show up. In another instance, Sherman wrote about how Mr Loose one day appeared in astral form to a hotel reception where Sherman was staying, relaying a message that “Mr Loose was here, I will see him again next week!” while Mr Loose’s physical body was taking an afternoon nap in his house.
Below is an excerpt from Sherman’s writing:
“There is an old mystical saying: “When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears.” This seemed to have been borne out in our case because, in July, 1921, while serving as newspaper reporter on the Marion, Indiana, Chronicle, I was assigned to cover the Redpath Chautauqua Program and to review the lecture on “Crime and Criminology” by the Chicago policeman and detective Harry J. Loose.
There was nothing in what he said on the platform to indicate that Mr. Loose possessed any unusual psychic powers, but when I felt strongly impelled to call at his hotel that evening and seek a personal interview with him, he astounded me by calling me by name and stating that he had known he was to meet me at this time for the past three weeks! He then explained that a highly spiritual woman, ninety-six years of age, who resided near Boston, had given him the equivalent of a college education while he slept at night; and that she was attracting young people to him on this lecture trip who had a potential for psychic development, who needed encouragement. He said she could “tune in” on the minds of such people as she mentally surveyed the towns he was to be in—and transmit to the ones she wanted him to meet the impulse to seek him out. According to Harry, he had been waiting in his room for me to appear!
There followed three of the most remarkable and inspiring hours I have ever experienced on this planet, during which Harry told me more about myself than I had been aware: He predicted that I would go to New York City in two years or so in pursuit of a writing career; that if I kept up my interest in the higher powers of mind, we would likely meet again in this life; but that it might be as long as twenty years, because he had a “mission” to perform and would be dropping out of sight for a time after his lecture tour was completed.”
Harold Sherman himself became a famous psychic from self-training, with Mr Loose’s encouragement. When Harold Sherman was old in the 1980s, he had learned the ability to make people with keen interest in the mind and ESP to have huge impulse to find him. This shows that mental abilities can be trained from practice and experiment.
Here’s another article about Harold Sherman who was the psychic who solved a missing person case.

Each successful manifestation is a demonstration of your power to create
By choosing not to give up even when you are facing your ‘darkest hour’, and refusing to give up to hopelessness, you are demonstrating to yourself that your power of consciousness to overcome obstacles is almighty. Very often when we face our darkest hour, if we persist and don’t give up, we have the ability to turn things around dramatically. In fact, many times from such dark hours we can turn things around to such positive results that reaches even greater heights than ever before imagined.
The control of your thoughts and emotional reaction is most vital at such crucial times. If you are able to deliberately turn your inner vibrations around from negative to positive, from one of hopelessness to faith, you can manifest amazing opportunities out of the chaos around you.

Multi-Universe and Probable Universes : Shrodinger’s Cat Theory
When we take an action or make a new decision, does it cause reality to change?
In Quantum Theory, Physicist Erwin Shrodinger devised a thought experiment. Supposed a cat was locked in a box, with a toxic radioactive material that has a 50% chance of poisoning and killing the cat. So before you open the box, is the cat alive or dead? You won’t know whether the cat is alive or dead until you open the box. So before you open the box, 2 probabilities exist for the cat. It can be alive in 1 probability , and dead in another probability. As far as you the observer outside the box is concerned, the cat is both dead and alive. Until you open the box to take a look, then you set a fate for Shrodinger’s cat.
If you think of this in terms of your reality, my deeper question to you is this. Before you take an action, does the action itself change the reality you are in? The answer is of course, yes.
But how about if we go further? When you THINK a new thought or offer a new intention, does it influence and change the thing you are thinking about? Do your thoughts cast a mental influence on people? When you make decisions, do other people mentally receive your thought impressions on a subconscious level and respond accordingly later on a subconscious level? My answer to you is yes. That is why thoughts have power. Intention has power. Decision has power.
If you think positive thoughts, does it influence your reality and changes people and events out there? If you know Law of Attraction and how it works, you will know positive thoughts attract positive experiences. If you are positive mentally and emotionally, you vibrate in a different frequency, and you diverge into another reality that has more positive outcomes for you. Unlike Shrodinger’s cat, you have the power to choose your outcome and your destiny.
The Buddhist and Hindus believe that karma (which means action and reaction) are made from physical action and thought. It is because both action and thought have the power to act and influence. Some religious people tell me that they do not believe that thought can affect anything. I would ask them this question : “Do you believe in the power of prayer? And why are we told to bless and curse not? How about this phrase “by your faith you are healed”?”
