Choosing An Estate Planning Attorney we still must consider whether or not we know what we see when it slaps us in the face, as they say.If you have decided to put your affairs in order and finally accept the fact that estate planning is something most of us would be better off having than not, the next thing you might be wondering about is how to choose an estate planning attorney. The first thing to remember is that your estate-planning attorney is a person with whom you will share a great deal of personal information. The bottom line is whoever you choose, you should feel comfortable talking to him/her about your needs and concerns and if you don’t he/she is not the right attorney for you. Your attorney is your legal confidant and is duty bound to take your confidence with them beyond their own estate plan, which is shorthand for they must take your secrets to the grave with them. But it doesn’t matter what their duty is if you don’t feel comfortable telling them what you need in the first place. If you begin to feel uncomfortable talking to your would-be estate planning expert, you should begin to shop elsewhere.The second thing to consider is that not all attorneys are created equal with respect to their ability in estate planning. A good first step in finding an attorney who will be a good fit for you is to ask people who you already know and trust. Ask the leader of your church, your doctor and your friends if they have had occasion to use an estate planner and ask what they think of that person. If you get a recommendation, don’t stop there. Look your would-be attorney candidates up on Martindale Hubbell (www.martindale.com) to find out where they went to school, how long they have practiced and what fields of law they specialize in. Of course, these answers don’t tell you everything you need to know about your potential confidant, but having some information is better than flying blind into the world of attorneys. If the attorney who was recommended does not specialize in estate planning, then it may be that you don’t want that attorney to create a financial plan for you and your family.Another good way to find an attorney or firm in your area that specializes in estate planning is to take a look at the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) (www.naela.org). The NAELA is a site that attorneys visit to keep up on issues involving elder The average person today will likely have their mind and senses closed to the opportunity that the thalami offer to accentuate, amplify and direct non-visual forces to our conscious processing centers. The operational paradigms of the spiritual world are a science unto themselves, and the astrophysicists may not have as good a picture as I hope they do. There are those I have met, who can travel between dimensions and we will deal with these aspects of life and natural possibilities versus hallucination in other parts of this book. But, if the modern research is right about the Thalami, I feel quite certain that all the dimensions are at our disposal in every aspect of our existence. When one remembers the way we thought about spirits and devils as we lis Taking Yourself Too Seriously? - Suggestions for Reclaiming Your Perspective "Spirit is beyond the void of space. This realm, beyond the void, is not an empty nothingness; it is the womb of creation. -- Nature goes to the same place to create a galaxy of stars, a cluster of nebulas, a rain forest, a human body, or a thought... That place is Spirit." (1)"We can change our circumstances by a mere change of our attitude." - William James, 19th Century American psychologist and philosopherI've noticed I often take myself, my work, and my life way too seriously. I blow events out of proportion, demand perfection, and generally behave as if my needs are at the center of everything.I agonize over small decisions, worry about personal interactions, wrestle with each word of a simple e-mail, and wake up at night with my heart pounding in anticipation of tomorrow's presentation or with angst about what happened today. Was I good enough? How can I get this right for a change? Why did I say THAT?! The minutest detail is not too small to escape scrutiny when I'm in this frame of mind - when life becomes very, very serious.When this happens I lose my self, my center, and my perspective. I step out of the precious present moment and into anxiety about the future or the past. I forget that there's nothing I can control except right now, right here, this moment and my availability to it.Happily, remembering this personal truth is what shifts me back into the present. I begin to breathe again and slip seamlessly into the realization that right now, at this moment, I am okay. Sanity returns as I focus on what is at hand.Vibrant and JoyfulI practice a martial art called aikido, whose flowing and graceful movements belie the power behind them. Aikido is based on principles such as centered response and utilization of energy, and it has practical applications in the world of conflict resolution and self-management. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido, called it the Art of Peace, and said that we must "always practice the Art of Peace in a vibrant and joyful manner." Aikidoists try to remember this as we throw each other around the mat, smiling and having fun while we work to perfect our technique.As we push on into the first decade of this new century, it is likely that life will become even more complex than it already is. Here are some suggestions that might help when you become separated from your perspective:- Acknowledge - Often all it takes to change your current stressed out state is to notice it. As you bring your awareness back to the present The idea of thought coming from Spirit is a little general and not something I agree with unless he means REAL thought rather than regurgitated thought. Deepak Chopra is a great and wonderful human being who escaped the material competitive focused world and the 'expertise' that was his, as a doctor. We have shown that science is getting dangerously close to finding templates and forms that mirror this kind of philosophy. The church felt science was philosophy and that all things came from this kind of godhead in the 'Dark Ages'; and scientists have justifiably thought any mention of a bridge to religion is fraught with these kinds of intellectual authoritarian terrors. Perhaps now we can re-evaluate our belief in godly forces and not involve religious or priestly interpreters who ask us to 'follow' like sheep. To replace one set of interpreters with another form of 'expertise' is not good. Surely there is a balance that harmonizes with purpose and true knowingness. I like the thought expressed by James Watson in his foreword to Discovering the Brain. He said, ‘The brain boggles the mind.’. It is also true that a lot of the ‘boggling’ has been done by those saying they seek God. The equipment based on Tesla's 'non-force info packets' that draws energy from a vacuum that Bearden has patented and the wireless transmission of generated energy will make perpetual motion seem tame. The real possibilities of using other dimensions as storage for energy we create could be just around the corner. Someday the barriers we have created in our real world through an ignorant adherence to conventions of black and white certainty will be brought down just like the Berlin Wall; we built it to keep ideas and people from each other. We can overcome these walls we create in our minds. I mean that literally too. In November 2004 Sharon Begley of The Wall Street Journal reported on the scientific analysis of brain plasticity and integration in the brains of Buddhist monks. There are limits to what we can achieve but those limits are far different than we have been led to believe. I'm not cognizant of all the ins and outs of 'red-shifts' or other astrophysical esoterics so the generalities of my insights might not have as much merit. The exorcisms I've been involved in helping free both the possessed and possessor are part of the limbo state which energy exists in after death. Does this limbo state include the same energy band- width that our solar or auric body travels in? Not by experience of the astral work I've done. However, one can meet dead people in astral travel if one has a guide or the spirit is attuned that you are about to visit. That spirit would be a multi-dimensional traveler then. There are many shades and variations of spiritual bandwidths and it may be because there is so much more energy in the unseen world that the astrophysicists told us about earlier. Ninety-five per cent versus 5 per cent is a large ratio in favor of the unseen. The ultraviolet and light energies might even be part of the visible universe, which would mean we can only actually see a percentage of the material universe.

To be successful, you must be able to communicate effectively to a big crowd. Many individuals fail in this aspect even if they possess the right skills. The key to effective public speaking is focusing on your goals and being prepared.Do not be surprised. Public speaking can actually be satisfying and fun if you easily overcome the initial nervousness and discomfort. If you have trouble doing this, in spite of the confidence you might be feeling, you will never effectively communicate with the crowd.They would only see a person, standing before them, looking afraid. Your credibility might even be questioned because of this. To help you accomplish your goals, here are some hot tips in public speaking.Eye Contact Looking at your audience and trying to make eye contact will help you bring the situation down to a more comfortable and personal level. Instead of addressing the crowd, speak as if you are talking to a single person. This way you will be able to relax visibly and your crowd may become more receptive to your speech.Think of Your Audience You will be surprised to know that there are people in the audience who feel nervous and uncomfortable too. You should try to focus on this knowledge and make your audience comfortable by speaking in moderate tones and making smart quips.Visual Aids If you do not want the audience’s focus on you, you can try to divert their attention by providing visual aids. You should keep in mind that your visual aid should never bee too technical and complicated. Just like in public speaking, make sure that your visual aids will speak to your audience effectively as well.Make an Outline To ensure that you will not lose sight of your goal, you should make an outline. Better yet, write important notes in small cards and arrange them according to your outline, the smooth and continuous flow of your speech or presentation will help maintain the interest of the audience.It is very important for a person to sharpen his public speaking skills through constant practice. It would also boost your confidence if you come prepared to a speaking engagement or presentation.

In November 2004 Sharon Begley of The Wall Street Journal reported on the scientific analysis of brain plasticity and integration in the brains of Buddhist monks. There are limits to what we can achieve but those limits are far different than we have been led to believe.Step 1: Write down a specific, measurable outcome – that’s a goal! Rather than a vague promise to “lose weight” or “lower my cholesterol”, set an actual target such as “This year, I will achieve a body weight of 135 pounds, with 20% body fat (108 pounds lean weight + 27 pounds body fat)”, or “I will lower my cholesterol from 248 down to 180.”These are specific end points, like the bulls-eye on the dart board, which will represent success. Because the outcome can be measured, you’ll be able to know for sure when you get there.Step 2: Choose to practice new behaviors to reach your goal. When a person who lives in, let’s say, Boston hops in the car on a road trip to Phoenix, you know they’ll have to break out a map. If they don’t, they’ll probably end up hopelessly lost and nowhere near Phoenix. To successfully reach your goal “destination”, you’ll need to create a map of behaviors to help you get there.It’s a good idea to begin by first analyzing your starting point. I suggest you make three lists: 1) current behaviors that will prevent you from reaching your goal 2) current behaviors that will help you reach your goal and 3) essential new behaviors you must learn to incorporate, that will help you reach your goal.It’s a no-brainer that the behaviors found on list #1 are ones that should be drop-kicked from your life, as they will do nothing but drag you down and prevent you from hitting your target. The items on list #2 are good, and should be continued, but they may not be enough to help you reach your goals. Making the commitment to learn and to practice the behaviors found on list #3 is critical to your success. An example of behaviors, related to a weight loss goal:List #1 I enjoy after work happy hour with drinks and high-fat snacks once or twice a week I often snack without thinking, and clean the last few bites off the kid's plates I eat a large meal late in the day I never have time to prepare meals, so we eat a lot of fast food. I don't weigh myself - I just buy bigger clothes I sit a lot and don't really exercise I've given up - I just can't lose weightList #2 I walk the dog twice each day, for 10 minutes at a time. I try to eat balanced meals, but I'm not cognizant of all the ins and outs of 'red-shifts' or other astrophysical esoterics so the generalities of my insights might not have as much merit.

This is a great way to stay aware of your "internet footprint" and possibly protect your reputation and/or identity.It's easy. If you have a Google account, sign in and click on the My Account link at the upper right. In your list of Services, click on the Alerts link. Here you can create a new Google Alert with the search terms, type (areas to search), how often including "as-it-happens", and your email address. Click the Create Alert button. That's it. Now every time new Google content matches your search terms you will receive an email about it.If you don't currently have a Google Account, you will need to sign up for one to use this feature. Simply go to www.google.com and click the Sign In link in the upper right corner, then click the 'Create an account now' link. The sign up is quick and easy and you can take advantage of other Google account features like Personalized Home and Search History which are also very useful.I suggest creating at least one alert for your full name, and make sure to enclose it in quotes for proper results, and another for each web site you own and/or operate. For example, I receive a daily search results for my name "Dean Chafee" and another for my primary website "www.howtofixyourstuff.com".You can also use this feature for tracking news about your favorite sports figure or celebrity.This is actually very informative to see who may have picked up one of my published articles or created a link to my website.

But, if the modern research is right about the Thalami, I feel quite certain that all the dimensions are at our disposal in every aspect of our existence. When one remembers the way we thought about spirits and devils as we listened to the preachers who tried to tell us about HELL - it is difficult to open our minds to what they were saying about the saints who performed the very miracles that men and women have always been able to do. We see that the Gospel of Thomas from the Dag Hammadi 'finds' confirm Jesus never performed any miracle that you or I can't do. (John 10:34). The dimensional spiritual world is science and real even if we are ignorant of it. That is what the Gnostics he studied with say is the 'Original Sin' that separates us from God - IGNORANCE! Scipio Africanus and others before and after the time of Jesus were used to seeing each other and the spirits of their loved ones alive or dead! In many instances there is potential to visualize the future and it will happen with proper INTENT. Bucky Fuller did it, and I have too. Some say the forces of darkness that created the Dark Age were able to re-program the world mind to the point that our ability was diminished by the evil they fomented. Energy of a negative nature does have to be attuned with good, in order for Abraxas or unity to occur, on the grand scale and as an individual. That is why selfish prayer is wasteful and one must operate in 'brotherhood' and love to come up with things like the geodesic dome or wireless 'free energy'. Still these things are on the shelf and few really know how great they are and how much better the world might be. Microchemical potentials and observations are exciting corollaries to chaos science. The laws of universe are 'unfolding as they should' (Desiderata was a nice poem that Pierre Trudeau often quoted as Canada's Prime Minister when I was a young man.) 'whether or not it is clear' to us! There are always good things to learn when one looks at the work of these scientists. I especially enjoy those who are willing to do what Bucky Fuller described when he talked about 'stepping outside the circle' or 'biting his tongue' when he felt complacent in the knowledge he had in a particular area of deliberation. Professor Morowitz is a microbiologist and chemist at Yale University who we will show later as an example of what can happen when people think integratively and lose their ego. He also correctly observes that few of the physical sciences encourage this integration. Is it possible to have an answer when the questions are slanted to dovetail with only one perspective? We respectfully offer that no real truth has ever resulted from the need of any tenured or other 'expert' who sought power from his peers rather than enlightenment from 'ALL that is!' What with genetics and the basic building blocks of matter becoming more apparent to researchers who are free of old philosophic rule by the church there is truly a dawning of a new age. The title of Prof. Morowitz's article in August of 1980's Psychology Today was quite appropriate - 'Rediscovering The Mind'. As we continue to RE!-discover we might even know what is important 'within' our soul. Of course, my opinion is just 'post-modern democratized' ideology as Prof. Wiseman points out. No one person can know all things. He would be right, if he said that. But my response would be that we must all try to integrate rather than compartmentalize our knowledge. That leads to coping skills and application of thinking processes that produce a net creative improvement rather than agreement from those we 'hang with'!
