Predictions for Malaysia's 13th General Election (GE13) - what does it mean for us all?


Before I begin, I would like to forewarn you that this may seem like a GE13 reporting. But it is not. I have my reasons.

So let's begin:

Malaysians will be voting for their next government in the next few days. Though the official start of campaigning was on nomination day, the country has been on virtual campaigning mode since 2008. At one side, we have the incumbent Barisan Nasional which have ruled for 56 years. The new-kids-on-the-block (I couldn't resist) Pakatan Rakyat is set to deliver their most serious challenge to the ruling coalition. For 12 General Elections, the BN govt has used creative (but questionable if not outright illegal) means to ensure their continued control of Govt. And they easily do that because they have always controlled two-thirds majority in Parliament. Whenever the opposition gains ground, they gerrymander the electoral borders in order to favour them the next round. This time it is different. For the first time in Malaysian history, the BN lost its two-thirds majority in Parliament. And with it all the old tricks. So now, they resort to other not so effective means by utilizing the Main-Stream Media (MSM), cash-handouts (which is really bribery) and rumoured (but confirmed by Sabah RCI) Project-IC tactics. The Home Minister has also, a few years before, encouraged UMNO to rope in the Mat-Rempits (“criminal” biker gangs). The former PM Tun Dr Mahathir has even flagged off 3,000 Mat Rempits at a PERKASA (ultra-racist organization worse than Pauline Hanson in Australia) event.

In light of all these and other blatant abuse of power, it is a wonder if they can even fool the public anymore and retain power. It is quite obvious from the opposition’s political ceramahs that the tide has indeed turned. However, the opposition are up against the entire government machinery that has been soooo conditioned to believe that the BN=Govt and Govt=BN. Any threat by the opposition is a threat to Govt. This versus the actual practice of democracy which is Govt is formed by the political party that wins the general election and that the Civil Service is independent of influence from the political party. While the actual polling day is on 5th May 2013, astrologers and fengshui experts have already come out with their predictions and they don’t bode well for the opposition.

Renowned Fengshui expert, Dr David Koh has not only predicted that BN will win, he has even gone further by saying the BN would re-capture Selangor and Kedah. Now this brings up the million dollar question. If the public is truly sick of the ruling coalition, then why on earth would they still vote the BN back into power and to rub salt into the wounds, return 2 states back to the BN? Yes.. there is the Law of Attraction i.e. if you hate the BN so much, you are actually giving it more energy and thus helping the BN win because they are getting all the energy. Hey... why else do you think MSM only portrays BN in a good light? Opposition media that portrays BN in a bad light also do not help because they are still giving energy to the BN. Energy, whether positive or negative, is still energy. And the party that gets the most, would most likely win.

But what I would really want to get at is this.

Yes, the charts (Astrology and Fengshui) may favour the BN for obvious reasons like BN’s massive funds and the groundwork done (legal or illegal is immaterial here). It is not rocket science here. However, nothing is cast in stone. There is always the People’s Will and Divine Will.

Like all predictions, if a prediction is a good one, we would like to keep it. If a prediction is a bad one, then it only means something needs to be done in order to change the frequency or energy vibrations in order to bring forth a different outcome. Think back to the Lord of the Rings trilogy (or books). In Lothlorien, the Mirror of Galadriel showed Frodo what the future held for all of middle earth if he were to fail in his mission. And what the mirror showed was the most likely outcome but hope remained. Well, we all know what happened towards the end of the Return of The King.

Hence similarly here, it means if we do not like the predictions given by the fengshui and astrology experts, something needs to shift. The question is, are we shifting and if we are, are we shifting enough?

The answer will be known on 6th May 2013.

But whatever the result, the old energies are being phased out and the new ones flowing in (and past the mid point in 21 Dec 2012) will not sustain the old way of doing things.

May the blessings of the Divine be upon us all.

Creative Intelligence

Be creative and use powerful actions in line with what you want. If you want to attract the perfect partner, then make room in your closet. If you want to attract a new house, then tidy up your current house so it is ready for easy packing. If you want to take a trip, then get out your suitcases, surround yourself with pictures of the location, and put yourself in the pictures.

Think about what you would do if you had your desire, and then take creative actions that make it clear you are receiving it now.

There is no excuse not to give two minutes today to intend your tomorrow.

The Game of Life is about creating powerful ways of believing so that you receive. Whatever big thing you are asking for, consider having the celebration now as though you have received it.

The law is exact, the law is precise, and it never fails, so when it appears that it isn't working, you can be guaranteed it is not the law that is failing. The error can only be with the person using it. This is great news! Didn't it take practice to walk? Didn't it take practice to drive? With practice you could walk, and with practice you could drive.

Practice is all that stands between you and everything!

Intention


Intention is the purpose or attitude toward the effect of one’s action or conduct. It is the underlying reason or purpose why you take a specific action or behavioural stance.

From Wikipedia:
Intention is an agent’s specific purpose in performing an action or series of actions, the end or goal that is aimed at. Outcomes that are unanticipated or unforeseen are known as unintended consequences. Intentional behaviour can also be just thoughtful and deliberate goal-directedness.

Before we take any action, we first have the intention to create a specific outcome. Sometimes two persons with different intentions can perform the same actions and obtain completely different results. Therefore our intention does play a major role in determining the outcome of our actions. This is why sometimes, when we attempt to imitate someone’s actions and achievement without first knowing and understanding his/her underlying intention, we end up not getting the same results. We end up not attracting the right people to aid us or the path does not seem quite as smooth. In such a circumstance, it is highly possible that our intention just does not jive with the sequence of actions that we have chosen to imitate to achieve that desired result.

Know that the universe always provides. It never fails. As you ask, so shall you receive. However, the key here is not to be fixated onto a particular course of action just because someone else has done it. You do not know that person’s underlying intention. Therefore all you need to do, is in fact intend and that let things flow. Perhaps a better way to describe this would be to hold a “preference” J

As beings of light, created in the likeness of God, you create your future with the power of your intention. Intention is simply the conscious act of determining your future now. Health, harmony in relationships, happiness, money, creativity, and love will come to you in the future, based on your intentions now. Therefore, intend every day and create your future life.

For Example:
Most people think to ask for health only when they don't have it, but you can intend great health at any time. Use the power of your intention every single day and see yourself healthy and well. Intend health for you and intend health for others.

Every time you get into a car, remember to take a couple of seconds and see yourself arriving at your destination happy and well. No matter what the trip is you are taking or the type of transportation you are using, use the power of the Universe through your intention and create a beautiful, safe journey.

So, have you set your intention for the day today, or are you going to let today be governed by the thoughts of yesterday? Here are some words to help you get started.
All Good is coming to me today.
All my desires will be met today.
Magic and miracles will follow me everywhere today.
Have the best day ever!

Illusions and Perception


This article is a summary of Sal Rachele’s article on Illusion and Perception.

An illusion is a distortion of the senses whether optical, auditory, tactile, or involving the other senses. In spirituality, a simple definition of illusion is “not perceiving things as they are”. However, because we never really perceive anything as it actually is, perceiving itself is an illusory device. We could say that reality is merely different configurations of vibrating energy in a quantum flux. How we view that reality will always be in distortion, at least as long as we are in human form. Then there are psychological illusions that only exist to the perceiver, such as fear. Fear is an energy pattern in the mind of the perceiver. The Acronym for Fear is False Expectations Appearing Real.

”Evil” is a state of distortion whereby one separates out one or more parts of creation as being less deserving of Infinite Love than other parts of creation. It involves judgment, projection and blame. The illusion of duality is created by separating oneself from part or all of creation, at least mentally (in actuality it is impossible to separate oneself from Creation).

”Good” does not triumph over “evil”, but rather, the illusions of “good” and “evil” are dispelled and the reality beyond duality is remembered. The Oneness has always existed, and existed all the time we were having the dream of duality.

The natural world and all creatures in it are not illusions; however, the way we perceive the natural world and other sentient life is an illusion.

The Universe consists of energy patterns, waves and particles, and even this is not an adequate description. In other words, the description is part of the illusion. The word is not the object, the mental picture is not the reality.

Perhaps the question really is: Can we directly experience the reality behind the illusion of appearance? A recent movie, “What the [bleep] Do We Know?” explores the Quantum Uncertainty Principle in a highly entertaining form. The Mind of the Creator and the individual minds of the extensions of the Creator (known as souls) collectively make up the Matrix. There is an energetic reality beyond the personality or ego self, but it exists within a collective field, at least in this manifest Universe. In the higher realms, things may be a bit harder to analogize.

The key, then, is to learn to transcend perception and experience life directly through inner knowing. The problem is, it’s usually the ego trying to do this. The ego obviously cannot transcend itself, but perhaps it can understand itself well enough to realize its true position as servant and not master. When the ego stops trying to control everything, the higher senses (psychic, intuitive, clairvoyant, etc.) are able to arise, and perception changes. Self-awareness is the key to transcendent perception.

The Power of Belief
Randi the magician has an ongoing offer to pay $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate that psychic phenomena is real.* It's my bet that he'll never have to pay up. Why? Because to him, it doesn't exist, and no amount of “proof” by Russian scientists will ever be enough to satisfy his extreme denial. What we don’t want to see doesn’t exist for us, and unless something comes along to sufficiently shake our belief, we go on living on a flat earth**, so to speak.

Fear
Fear is one of the most prevalent illusory perceptions in today’s world. We see it every day in the media. We see its subtle forms, such as anxiety, stress, nervousness and restlessness. Fear is but an illusion. It’s based on the illusory belief that someone or something outside ourselves can harm us or destroy our peace of mind. This is only true if we believe we are separate from God and Creation. Once we remove the belief in separation, there is no fear. Seeing that this is an illusion, we can move right through the fear to the reality on the other side.

We must stay fully present with fear -- notice everything about it -- it's color, texture, bodily sensation, how it arises, how it dissolves, what thoughts it generates, what actions we take, how we try to deny it, etc. Avoiding IS the fear
tself. Only awareness dispels it.

Believing the Drama is Real
Ram Dass once said, "Before enlightenment it was me and my STUFF!!! Now, it's just me and my stuff." The “stuff” was still there, but swami's awareness had grown so much that the stuff was now just a little pile of poop instead of a mountain of sh*t. You’ve heard the expression “Don’t make mountains out of molehills.” And I’m sure you’ve known at least one (probably several) drama kings or queens. These folks take life way too seriously. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? You might lose your body. Someone might kill you, or torture you. You might wither away, alone and in poverty, starving and wasting from disease. All your loved ones could die horrible deaths. The world could be destroyed by nuclear weapons.

Notice a pattern? All of these involve the physical body. But we are soooo much more than our physical bodies. Once we realize we are Spirit, our bodies become merely vehicles for communication on this plane of existence. Not only are they no longer all important, but moving into Spirit automatically causes us to draw into our lives only experiences that promote our spiritual growth – and that rarely involves any kind of violence or suffering.

That's how it is for a lot of us now. We've been around the block a few times and have learned to recognize how the ego blows everything out of proportion as it vainly tries to save us from ourselves. More and more we are coming from center (Spirit or Soul) instead of from ego, and it feels wonderful in a solid sort of way. Of course, things can still blow us off-track, but they don't seem to consume us as much anymore.

We cannot wish or do away with the ego. That's because it's the ego that wants to do away with things in the first place. When I'm centered and clear within, I laugh. When we’re tempted to buy into one of the illusions of the world, such as "I'm at the effect of forces beyond my control," that's when it’s time to remember Who We Really Are. We are soooo vast. We are loved by God so much that our minds will NEVER be able to conceive of more than a tiny fraction of that love.

Choosing Spirit
A Course In Miracles says “every moment we are choosing between the resurrection and the crucifixion.” To me, this means that every thought can be life affirming or life denying, loving or fearful, real or illusory. Are we giving power to illusions and trying to make them real, or are we embracing our Divinity? In the Bible, the "knowledge of good and evil" refers to the belief in duality. This knowledge of good and evil brings with it a burden, as stated in Genesis. But isn't knowledge better than blissful ignorance? Yes, but we must go from knowledge to transcendence. Knowledge includes being aware of just how deeply we bought into the belief in good and evil. Once we see every crack and crevice of the darkness inherent in this belief, the light of awareness dispels the illusion of duality and we remember that all is Spirit.

A Word About Compassion
An important point that I’ve made before is that once we realize the power of belief, and the truth that our perceptions (thoughts) create our reality, we may be tempted to dismiss the suffering of others as “their belief; they created it; it’s their karma.” Or we may go one step further and say, “It doesn’t matter that children are starving because the world is an illusion.”

Let’s remember that it’s 4th dimensional consciousness that spouts the "all is illusion" rap in order to avoid looking at issues. Fifth dimensional consciousness is love and unity, and love always finds some way to respond to a call for help. Millions of our brothers and sisters are calling out for help, and the Love Within will respond if we open to it. Love's help may or may not appear as outer action, but closing our hearts to suffering is definitely not a 5D response.

The real question here is about being guided by one's own God Presence to help in the best possible way. My soul often attracts other souls either to help me or be helped. I do not need to go out of my way seeking to help others, nor should I be worried about rejecting a plea of help. Love is spontaneous and natural and if I'm listening to WHO I AM, I will respond appropriately. Sometimes it may look like active intervention; sometimes like nothing at all. Spirit knows what it's doing, my ego does not. Our egos do not know all of the ramifications of any assistance we offer. Maybe that spare change we gave to the man on the street went for alcohol. Then this drunk man stole a car and mowed over a dozen people. Or maybe that smile we gave prevented the suicide of someone who later became a major figure for change in the world. All of us affect the world more than we can imagine.

All of the above discussion can be distilled down to one sentence regarding perception: God’s Love within us is real; all else is illusion. Yes, it’s that simple.

Master Believing


There is a magician who has offered to pay USD 1 million to anyone who can demonstrate that psychic phenomenon is real. I believe he will never have to pay up not because a psychic phenomenon does not exist but rather because in his reality, it does not. If we believe something does not exist to the point of extreme denial of its existence, no amount of proof by Russian scientists will ever convince you that it is real. What we don’t want to see doesn’t exist for us, and unless something comes along to sufficiently shake our belief, we go on living on a flat earth, so to speak. By the way, there really is an actual group called the Flat Earth Society that still believes the Earth is flat!

We all know of people whom are so fixated in their belief system that no amount of proof and convincing will ever turn them from their beliefs. It is like even if God comes down to tell them they are wrong, they will retort and say God is wrong. They will not see beyond their tunnel vision and have closed minds. This is what fanatics are made of. They believe in achieving martyrdom through suicide bombing etc. Such is the negative aspect of believing.

However the reverse of this negative aspect of belief is also true. And this is where the power of belief is also apparent. We can use this to our advantage by mastering believing.

To master believing, all you have to do is tip the balance of your thoughts, words, and actions, from "not believing" that you can achieve something to believing that you can. The ONLY thing that can ever get in the way of manifesting what you want is having more thoughts of "not believing," speaking more words of "not believing," and taking more actions of "not believing," than you are of believing.

In fact when we are “not believing” that we can, we are actually “believing” that we can’t. Therefore, base the majority of your thoughts, words, and actions in believing that you can, and the law of attraction must obey you.

Everything Happens for a Reason...pt 2


The old Chinese folktale about the farmer, his son and horse perfectly explains the title of this posting. I will repeat it here again:

There lived an old farmer with his son at the northern frontiers. He had only one horse, and one day the horse ran away. The neighbours came to condole over his terrible loss. The farmer said, "What makes you think it is so terrible?"
A month later, the horse came home--this time bringing with her two beautiful wild horses. The neighbours became excited at the farmer's good fortune. Such lovely strong horses! The farmer said, "What makes you think this is good fortune?"
The farmer's son was thrown from one of the wild horses and broke his leg. All the neighbours were very distressed. Such bad luck! The farmer said, "What makes you so sure this isn't a blessing?"
A year later the nomads came in force across the border, and every able-bodied man was conscripted and sent into battle. The Chinese frontiersmen lost nine of every ten men. Only the farmer's son, because he had a broken leg, remained. Only because the son was lame did the father and son survive to take care of each other. Truly, blessing turns to disaster, and disaster to blessing: the changes have no end, nor can the mystery be fathomed.

Look back to your life now. Have there ever been events that if you look at it now you would say they were turning points in life whereby you were forced to make decisions as to which path to take. At that time, you may not have been pleased with the decision you have made. Neither were you happy at the circumstances that drove you to such crossroads nor forced you down any one path. But because you made that decision or took a certain path, events (positively perceived or negatively perceived) unfolded, that led you to places and people that made major impacts in your life. Impacts that enriched your life so much that you would not exchange it for anything else. And all that was possible only because of events that were perceived to be bad at the time of happening.

From my own life experience, events that happened almost two decades ago took me down a path that I actually hated but that path took me to people and other events that eventually brought me to where I am with the knowledge and growth that I now possess. All that would not have been possible if that event did not happen almost 20 years ago.

EVERYTHING happens for a reason.

What if you want to attract love and be joyously happy? But then you get caught up in the details of WHO, and you think that a particular person is the answer to your perfect relationship. The Universe can see way into the future, and it knows if a particular person will fulfill your dream or become your nightmare. When you don't receive the love of a particular person, you might think the law is not working. But it is working. Your greatest desire is to attract love and be joyously happy, and the Universe is saying, "Not him or not her, and please get out of the way, I am trying to deliver the perfect person to you."

I can again relate this from my own life experience on how I met my better half. I had just recovered from breaking up with my ex after a 4 year relationship and actually started dating an attractive lady. We both liked each other. Her job takes her offshore for extended periods but we keep in touch whenever we can. She never fails to call me whenever she returns home from abroad. She had many qualities that I liked but somehow it’s like things are stuck. Then for some reason, she said to me not to continue waiting for her as she does not know when she can be ready to settle down due to her job commitment. If it happens it happens, if I find someone else, she is ok with me letting her go. I was like, “what the hell?” Well, to cut a long story short, I knew what I wanted in my life partner but I was very fixated on the lady that I was dating. So though I would really liked to have settled down with her, I surrendered to the universe my criteria for a life partner not expecting anyone else to meet that criteria. Other girls came and went while I still dated her with her full knowledge (I sensed that she was a bit sad probably with the prospect of possibly losing out). Then one day someone arranged a blind date for me and I was like “Oh come on... you have got to be kidding me”. But a friend present at that time said to me, “So what if it’s a blind date. You won’t know where it would lead you do you?”. So I decided to give it a try, what have I got to lose anyway. Lo and behold, that decision led me to the woman who would later become my spouse. She has all the criteria that I have listed down (I should have listed more “grin”) and today I have a beautiful family.

If I had stubbornly stuck to the status quo at that time, would I have what I have today in another form? Maybe... maybe not... but I would not exchange what I have now for sure.

Therefore be very careful about getting caught up in the "who," "where," "when," or "how," because you could block your true desire from being delivered to you.

Watch Your Thoughts


What are you thinking when you open your curtains in the morning and when you close them at night? What are you thinking when you first put your shoes on and when you take them off at the end of the day? You don’t remember don’t you. That’s normal. Most of us are not aware of our thoughts and hence our minds play games with us. While we are driving to work, our thoughts drift to events that have taken place yesterday or further in the past. And before we know it, we have arrived in the office and seated down on our chair at our workstation. There are instances where people have resigned company A to join company B located at different locations in the city and because their thoughts float as they drive to work, they end up at the front door of company A and they wonder why their access cards can’t open the door. And then it hits them that they have resigned and are supposed to be reporting to company B at the other side of town.

Most of us just do not have any control over our thoughts. While I am not suggesting that we attempt to rigidly control it, I do suggest that we be mindful of it and watch our thoughts instead of letting it wander. By doing that, we can then start to choose what type of thought we would allow in and what not.

You see... thoughts have energy hence some esoteric schools actually refer to our thoughts as thought forms. It is a creation of our mind and every thought form that we create is an entity by itself. And this entity can materialize into the physical form. Therefore collective as a human race, if we all think doom and gloom, that is what we will create in our physical world.

Napoleon Hill’s immortalised book “Think and Grow Rich” lists 13 steps how our thoughts can lead us to whatever we want. Where the mind goes, the body eventually follows. Hence if we keep our heads in the “dustbin”, the rest of our body (life) will eventually fall in. Esoteric schools even advice their students against thinking negative thoughts about others as that constitutes a psychic attack. And students of esoteric schools that involve manipulation of energies can be powerful magicians without their own knowledge. Their thought forms can even kill.

Fortunately positive thoughts are far more powerful than negative thoughts. What we need to do is retrain our minds such that we think only positive thoughts by default.

No-one can impact you with their negative thoughts if you are not on a negative frequency. You set your own frequency through your thoughts and feelings, and the better you feel the higher the positive frequency you are on, and the higher the thoughts you have access to. Negative thoughts of others cannot reach you there.

So coming back to the 1st paragraph of this post...What are you thinking when you open your curtains in the morning and when you close them at night? What are you thinking when you first put your shoes on and when you take them off at the end of the day? Use the power of the Universe during these four everyday actions, and say with all of your heart: "Thank you for the most incredible day!"

Mindfulness - The Now Moment


Most of us live in the past or the future. We live in past glory or fantasizing about a future that we desire. Our minds are so into our past and future that we forget to live in the present.

The past is hardened cement. It is cast in stone. We can change it anymore. It has come and gone and will no longer come back. So past glories are just that – past glories. It is not a yardstick to measure your future. In other words, just because one was a multi-millionaire 10 years ago does not mean that one would remain a multi-millionaire 10 years down the road. Fortunes change. And if it does change, hanging on to your past will not help you recoup what you have lost. I have heard of a friend’s friend who used to live luxuriously due to his booming family business 20 years ago. The father passed way leaving the business with the children. Everything was set nicely for them and they were rich. Then the 1987 crash came and affected their business. They lost everything. While some of the siblings have managed to recover and have moved on, one of them continually hung on to the past. Now, in 2012, almost 25 years later in his 50s, he needs to ask friends for money. If you are in your 50s, not born poor, and you can’t go to the ATM and withdraw two thousand dollars, you have got a real problem in your hands. If he had let go of the past and just focus on the reality of his situation then, I believe he would have easily recovered and perhaps achieved greater heights. There were many options that he could have taken: re-education, employment, entrepreneurship etc. But constant living in the past has resulted in inertia and just not doing anything.

Therefore it is very important that we realize that our lives do not happen in the past or the future. It happens NOW. As the clock ticks, the moment is gone. In Buddhism, Vipassana Meditation trains us to be mindful. Mindfulness can be seen as the practice of “being in the moment” – but what does this actually mean? Does it mean that if we’re mindful we should never think about the past or the future, never try to plan or to reflect on our past experience?

Actually, being in the moment means being mindfully aware of what is going on right here and now, in our experience, and this includes any thinking we do about the past or future. Much of the time our experience does not have this quality of awareness or mindfulness. A lot of the time we are like robots, automatically living out habitual patterns of self-pity, anger, wish fulfillment, fear, etc. These habitual tendencies take us over and run our lives for us – without our being able to stand back and decide whether this is what we actually want to be doing. It can be a real shock when we start to realize just how habitual and automatic our lives are.

By bringing our mind back to now moment, we re-connect with our power. The reason that "now" is where all of your power exists, is because "now" is the only time you can think new thoughts and feel new feelings. We cannot think thirty seconds from now, or feel something two hours ago. We can only think NOW. We can only feel NOW. And so this moment right now is your greatest point of power.

The rest of your life awaits you!

Choosing Baby's Birthday, and Time

There are women who would purposely choose the time and date of birth of their child, right to the dot. Especially the chinese and this is mainly done for the sole purpose of having a favourable birth date and time for the child and thus a good BaZi or Astrology chart. There are some who chose a specific date due to expected circumstances on the due date like for example overseas posting for the husband. And this is understandable. Doctors choosing a specific date due to medical reasons are also an exception. What I am referring to in this article is specifically choosing a date because of BaZi or astrological reasons.

I am not convinced that such manipulation or intervention actually does any good or works at all. Well.. perhaps a little but I believe there are certain configurations that cannot be changed. Here's the reason why...

All souls come forth from the One Source to experience its creation hence enriching the One Source in the process. Before a soul incarnates, he has already planned and mapped out his incarnated life ahead with the help of higher beings, and in great detail to perfection. Whether that plan works out perfectly when it is being executed is another matter or together. 

What I mean here is this:

Say you are a soul seeking to reincarnate. You, with the help of other light beings, would then map out and plan that particular re-incarnation from birth all the way to death... right down to the minute details i.e. what kind of parents you want, region, country, state, school, character, school, career, parenthood etc. Everything would be planned to perfection. And all in order to learn certain lessons (called karma) related to the above. After planning it, you as the soul than subject yourself to re-incarnation in the physical plane to live that plan. However, one of the conditions of physical incarnation is that you will not remember what you have planned in order for you to maximise your realizations and experiences. So, life may not work out as perfectly as you (at soul level before re-incarnating) have planned and that is perfectly all right...after all, you have free will. And to know you plan, just get your astrological chart mapped out.

Note that though I use the male gender here, I am referring to both male and female. 

Hence the question is when does to soul enter the fetus?

Different religions have different interpretations on this. Catholics believe that the moment the sperm and egg come together. Buddhist believe it happens at around 40 days after conception. Moslems may believe that it happens at day 120. Medical science shows that the fetus heart starts beating at around 5-6 weeks from conception, still within the 1st trimester. Many asians, especially the chinese, consider it taboo to announce a pregnancy before the 2nd trimester. So while different religions and cultures have different believes about this matter, one thing remains the same...it happens between conception (mostly after 1st trimester) and well before birth. 

In other words, the soul of the baby is already in the baby's physical body by the 2nd trimester.

And we know all souls have already pre-determined (or planned) their physical incarnated lives ahead of seeking re-incarnation. In short, you have already chosen the kind of lessons you would like to learn in this lifetime. Some would call this karma but that's essentially lessons that you have chosen to impose upon yourself in order to experience and enrich yourself (the soul).

Hence, your rightful birthday would already have been pre-determined by yourself (before you are even a baby) and the corresponding Astrology chart would contain your spiritual blueprint from which your path in this incarnation would have been encoded into.

What happens, if your parents decide to intervene to give you another birthdate by choosing caesarian birth on a particular date and time just to give you a better BaZi?

Good question..

I personally believe that intervention of this kind can only work for smaller matters that are not of consequence to the soul's chosen path prior to re-incarnation. For karmic matters of divine proportions (heaven's will) or lessons that the soul has determined that it wants to learn, skewing the birth date and time would not work at all. In fact it creates unnecessary problems as you would then have problems deciphering your "real" astrology chart. Your astrology chart contains the blueprint of your soul for this lifetime. That's why, those parents who go through the whole natural birth process (unless in cases of emergency), are actually doing their child a big favour. Not just that the child has on average less physical problems, the child's astrology chart would contain his real soul blueprint. Hence to know his path, all one needs to do is read the charts. And if anything is not favourable, there are always remedies that can be applied using the laws of the universe.

Whereas, if the mother had purposely gave birth to the child ahead of his actual due date by choosing caesarian, that child's astrology chart would not be the real astrology chart if he had been born on his actual natural birthdate and time. However, the soul is already in the baby's body while the baby is still in the mother's womb. The soul has already pre-determined his path this lifetime. And that path would be encoded into his astrological charts at his real intended date and time of birth. So what good could there be for changing the birth date and time for a favourable BaZi when it doesn't change what the soul has already decided that he would do and learn this lifetime.

Such an action would only serve to create that false sense of security for the parent that the child would have a good future (based on the manipulated BaZi) and... well... let the doctor laugh all the way to the bank (it does cost more to have a c-section than to have natural birth).

In my humble opinion, a better way would be to use the Law of Attraction and source for what you would like to have in your child i.e. filial, creative, normal, healthy, intelligent etc and you will be amazed at the soul that you have attracted to you to be your child.

Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides are generally entities that remain a disincarnate spirit in order to act as a guide or protector to a living incarnated person. Most of us have at least one spirit guide. Spirit guides are not necessarily guardian angels. They can be a deceased family member from many lifetimes before who have decided to atone for some mistakes made during the lifetime and hence follow the incarnated person through many lifetimes as a guide. It is also possible that a spirit guide may also be a person’s twin flame operating from higher dimensions. Some spirit guides are extremely helpful, some only help when asked. There just isn’t any fix rule as to how they would behave and why they are with us.

So having them around can be both a blessing and a hindrance. Therefore it is preferable that we only allow those that are 100% of God’s loving light into your space. Those spirit guides that are not may end up leading you astray even though they are well-meaning.

If you feel that the particular guide that is with you is no longer right for you, feel free to ask them to leave and request new ones. Well, don’t ask them to leave rudely or negatively. Instead thank them for all they have done and the experience they have imparted upon you and gently tell them that it is time to part with you in order for them to continue on their journey towards the light, bid them farewell and bless them. Then when you asks for new guides, you can issue a decree or invocation that only those that are 100% in alignment with your soul growth and God’s loving light be allowed in your auric field. Different esoteric schools have different ways to do this but the foundation is generally the same.

There are also processes that involve cutting ties to people from your past that are still psychically corded into your energy body. There are some specific meditations from various esoteric schools that do precisely that.

You can request a healing from your own I AM Presence, or you can receive a healing from a therapist who specializes in removing discordant energies from the aura. Aura clearing and chakra balancing are important to good psychic health. These techniques can be performed in situ or from a distance.
