Children can be very close to their past lives. Sometimes seemingly unexplainable behavior can best be explained as a carry-over from a recent incarnation.

Don’t ask where it came from, some things can’t be explained, but I have always believed in past lives. It certainly wasn’t a learned behavior from my parents. They were traditional in spiritual teachings, in every respect. I branched off on my own at some point and trusted that inner voice. It has almost always felt right to me.

Alan Alda explains how he thinks that he may have unconsciously willed himself to live to be 106 years old (and why he thinks he may have cheated himself) while wondering if searching for life's meaning is always a worthwhile pursuit.

I don't think I made a conscious decision to live forever. But, its working out that way.

It started twenty years ago in London when I was doing interviews for a movie I had written. When you open a movie, the studio arranges for you to meet as many journalists as possible in one day. The journalists, understandably, all ask pretty much the same questions; so unless you have a knack for making up the facts of your life -- and I envy people who can do that -- you hear yourself saying the same things over and over again. This numbs your brain and gives the audience a chance to be sick of the movie before they've even seen it.

New website formed by screenwriter Ron Peer explains the link between the movie and book "The Secret" and the New Thought Movement which began over 100 years ago by such writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mary Baker Eddy, Thomas Troward, and others. That is the secret of "The Secret."

No doubt you've heard of the self-help movie and book The Secret that is sweeping the nation. This Law of Attraction philosophy has been discussed on Oprah, Larry King, Ellen DeGeneres, CBS, and in scads of magazines and newspapers. What was once a little cult movie that premiered on the Internet in March 2006 has now blossomed into a mainstream hit: more than 1.5 million DVD's have been sold and over 1.2 million copies of The Secret are in print.

In this essay, Ruth Gendler helps us to again realize that "love" comes in many shapes, forms and sizes - and is known by many different names. To quote the Beatles, "Love Is All There Is!"

An entity is anything perceived as outside of you that feeds off your energy or emotions. It can be a thoughtform that has taken on a life of its own, a discarnate energy pattern with malicious or non-malicious intent, a hook or attachment from one or more persons, or a discarnate being that feeds off the energy or thoughts of its host.

If you have ever become angry, vengeful, agitated, or depressed for no apparent reason, it is possible that the unseen forces of one or more entities have affected you adversely. Much confusion surrounds this topic, and there are as many ideas about entity contamination as there are authors. Regardless of your beliefs in this area, it is the intent of this article to give you an idea about negative forces in place and the ammunition to protect yourself, your space, and your loved ones without expensive outside intervention.
