How to Live the Secret to Success

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

There’s no doubt that the Law of Attraction that goes by by a more popular name “The Secret” has hit the world in a storm. This is wihtout doubt because of the fact that this is not some bogus tricks that a few gurus as what they are called have been preaching around. Although, what these gurus teach seem to be taken from a book on the law of attraction practice. 

While some of the New Age ideas seem to involve things like hypnotism and mediation, the law of attraction is more of an ideology that entails a practitioner to take it upon himself to believe in and live the life that he truly wants.

Unlike what most people think, the law of attraction practice doesn’t need too much work. That is since we have been used to dreaming and talking about things that we want in life, the what ifs as what they say.

Not only that; a lot of us have a tendency to emulate the people who we idolize: be they celebrities, actresses, our parents or any other person. We have the inkling to imitate the behavior, qualities and fashion style of these people. This makes the law of attraction practice seem like a breeze once we are aware of it.

However, that can be, there are still many differences about how to live life in the law of attraction and merely about being one’s person. First thing first, like that age-old adage “Practice makes perfect” for us to have the life we have ever wanted, we need to let go of all the negative energy that we have in us. We should do this by taking it on ourselves and considering life not as negatively as possible. This means that we have to keep away from negative things and instead just focus on the things that can bring us positive things. 

Then we have to have an attitude of appreciation and thankfulness as much as we can, especially as we awoke. In that manner, we can begin the day with a positive outlook. We also have to keep in mind that the universe doesn’t revolve around us. This means that even if negative things are going to happen- and they do for sure- you don’t have to think that life is only about that. Even if negative things happen, always think of the bright side which is that something good will happen afterwards.

You have to take action as well. You shouldn’t just wish for the great things to come, you have to work for them also. If you do all these things, you are sure to master the law of attraction practice in a short time.

Where do we bury our Dead?

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

The Bahá'í faith says: "I came forth from God, and return unto Him, detached from all save Him, holding fast to His Name, the Merciful, the Compassionate".

Everybody has to die one day, it is inevitable. Everybody wishes the re-union with the Almighty and succesfully complete the circle of life. A set of rules and procedures are unique to each religion and have their own set of ceremonies. But our ethics and to a certain extent, our religious fear makes us turn an unmindful and a rather nonchalant eye to our burial and crematory practices which have a profound environment impacts. We cannot and should not ignore our duty towards Mother Earth even in death.

There are two ways adopted by people irrespective of faith to pay homeage to their dead: Burial and cremation. Though mummification can be a little spooky, many people are adopting this method because of its extraordinary nature.There are many environment hazards.

Cremation entails the use of a gas resulting in the depletion of a limited fossil fuel and creating air pollution at the same time. Mercury is released from a person’s dental amalgam fillings which too, has an adverse impact on the environment. Still, cremation is hailed as a rather “clean” method because it attempts to maintain the ecological balance. A strengthening step in this direction would be strict regulations on the prescribed level of emissions by cremators and preservation of the cremated remains inside bio-degradable bags. Unlike India, where bodies are creamted on a funeral pyre and the ashes immersed in the holy river Ganga, in the West people are increasingly adopting creamtors for this purpose.

It is often believed that burial is a more-eco-friendly technique of cremation, but this too is debatable. The use of potentially dangerous herbicides, its effect on water supplies and the use of plastic and other materials used for coffin manufacture can pose a serious threat to the environment. Use of biodegradable coffins and caskets are better for the soil in cemetries. Tree plantation should be carried on a large scale in and around the cemetery to reduce carbon footprints and steps should be taken to convert them into wildlife reserves. This will greatly diminish the use of herbicides for weed control as well as cause only a minimal damage to nature and environment.

Although there is no disposition method which does not raise environmental concerns but what is important for us, is to be aware and go for “green burials” and “green cremations.Use of corrosive and toxic chemicals like formaldehyde to replace body fluids can be highly harmful for the environment. As enlightened citizens, it is our duty to ensure that the environment is best protected and all such methods should be made as eco- friendly as possible.
