When you’re in that supercharged, enthusiastic, inspired, dreaming-big mode, leave a physical trail that will show you the way.
There are many ways you can do this, and here are some ideas.
Write a letter to yourself
Imagine that tomorrow you’re going to wake up with amnesia, but you really want to continue on this wonderful path you now see clearly in your mind.
Explain to your poor, lost self what you’re trying to accomplish, and how you are planning to do it. Don’t just focus on the facts, include your feelings as well. Share your enthusiasm and explain why you feel this is the best course of action for you.
Put in as much detail as possible, so even your amnesiac self can paint a vivid picture in her mind.
Sometimes they tell you the opposite of what you want to hear. This is done on purpose. Remember how I said your spirit guides know you better than anyone on earth? Well, if you're a particularly stubborn type, and there's an area of your life that's totally stuck, your spirit guides aren't above using cheeky tactics to help steer you in the right direction. This could involve sending you along to a psychic reading that you 110% disagree with so that you walk out thinking, "What bullshit! That's not true! I'm never going to do that." Hence, you wake up the next morning with a firecracker placed under your bottom and begin determinedly making different life choices… choices more in line with your inner truth. Mission accomplished!

"The author of The Book of Wisdom explains that we come to mistakenly believe that those things upon which the created light cannot shine, such as our secret sins, remain "unobserved behind a dark curtain of forgetfulness." Though these hidden transgressions may be darkened and forgotten to us, they remain ever in the plain sight of God."

"This research intended to investigate the role of personality and spirituality in nonviolent behavior of students (N = 210; men = 105 & women = 105) enrolled in universities, between age of 18 and 20 years. Assessment measures included the Teenage Nonviolence Test (TNT; Mayton et al., 1998), Spiritual Attitude Scale (Amjad, 1996), Neo Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and a demographic questionnaire. Series of moderated regression analyses were used to find out the predictors of five aspects of nonviolent behavior in men and women. Overall, the results revealed spirituality predicted all dimensions of nonviolent behavior, i.e., physical nonviolence, psychological nonviolence, helping behavior, search for wisdom and self- suffering behavior in both men and women. Extraversion predicted helping behavior, search for wisdom, and self-suffering similarly in both men and women. Agreeableness predicted physical nonviolent behavior in both men and women while psychological nonviolence behavior in only women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]"
"Near death experiences (NDEs) have been reported throughout world in essentially all cultures, including amongst the believers of the Hindu religion The contents of NDEs are independent of the gender, age, profession, religion, belief of soul, belief in angels of death or ghosts and belief in death kingdom and heaven, of people who experienced it. The frequency of occurrence is estimated to be between 5% to 48% in adults, and around 85% in children who experienced near-death situations. This frequency may be higher still, perhaps even 100 percent, were it not for the dreamlike and dissociative character of these experiences, and the amnesia-prone participation of the temporal lobe cortex of brain, causing a clear tendency to forget the NDE. A number of experiences can be very similar to NDEs, such as review of one's life in this planet, or an out-of-body experience (OBE,) in which the physical body and its surroundings are observed from various external vantage points, often from above, such that the body is passing through a deep dark tunnel, or seeing flash of light equal to thousands of sun for pure souls. The experience of seeing God and conversing with him, seeing alien lands, seeing dead relatives or someone's future, can all be regarded as similar in nature. Many individuals have reported horror experiences as well. Numerous cases--are existing in which the reality of the the OBE-observation can be independently 'verified, by external conditions, situations, people, objects, etc. Even people who are non-religious, subsequent to NDE experiences have displayed a markedly decreased fear of death, and a corresponding increase in the belief in "life after death" and re-incarnation. Certain elements of NDE- experiences can be induced by drugs, such as hallucinogenic substances and anesthetic drugs like ketamine, and electrical stimulation of the right temporal lobe or the limbic system has also produced such effects. The possibility that the hallucinogenic transmitters (and endorphins) of the brain themselves play a role in the NDE has been postulated. Nevertheless, there are NDE-elements, such as the frequently reported quick life-reviews, and the acquisition of external, verifiable information about the physical surroundings, that cannot be explained. Wish-fulfillment, death-denial or fighting against death, and other defense mechanisms of the brain, are also not adequate explanations. The large body of NDE data now points to genuine evidence for a non-physical reality. The paranormal capacities of the human being also raises the question: Does the human soul exist?"
"Bringing 'All' to the Tent of Communal Healing" by Ahmad Greene-Hayes examines the historical role of tent revivals and the Black Church as spaces of communal healing while questioning the continuance of heteropatriarchy and resistance to faith feminisms and queer inclusivity within such spaces.
