The Dalai Lama on Happiness

He is one of the most peaceful and serene people in the world today with his own kind of Dalai Lama happiness, His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people.

Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama. In 1950, at 16, His Holiness was called upon to assume full political power as Head of State and Government when Tibet was threatened by the might of China. In 1959 he was forced into exile in India after the Chinese military occupation of Tibet and has presided over the Tibetan Government-in-Exile since then. In 1989 His Holiness was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because he has consistently has opposed the use of violence in his struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has instead advocated peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people and has come forward with constructive and forward-looking proposals for the solution of international conflicts, human rights issues, and global environmental problems.

Dalai Lama Quotes on Happiness and Peace

The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities- warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes more meaningful and more peaceful-- happier.
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Although I personally believe that our human nature is fundamentally gentle and compassionate, I feel it is not enough that this is our underlying nature; we must also develop an appreciation and awareness of that fact.

Dalai Lama Quotes on Finding Happiness

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.

Happiness is determined more by the state of one's mind than by one's external conditions, circumstances or events--at least once one's basic survival needs are met.

Happiness can be achieved through the systematic training of our hearts and minds, through reshaping our attitudes and outlook.

As long as there is a lack of the inner discipline that brings calmness of mind, no matter what external facilities or conditions you have, they will never give you the feeling of joy and happiness that you are seeking. On the other hand, if you possess this inner quality, a calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, then even if you lack various external facilities that you would normally consider necessary for happiness, it is still possible to live a happy and joyful life.

Dalai Lama Quotes on Compassion and Happiness

If you wish to overcome that feeling of isolation and loneliness, I think your underlying attitude makes a tremendous difference. And approaching others with the thought of compassion in your mind is the best way to do this.

My basic belief is that you first need to understand the usefulness of compassion. That's the key factor. Once you realize the usefulness of compassion, you immediately develop an attraction towards it, a willingness to cultivate it.

Within all beings there is a seed of perfection. However, compassion is required to activate that seed which is in our hearts and minds.

Despite the fact that the process of relating to others might involve hardship, quarrels, and cursing, we have to maintain an attitude of friendship and warmth in order to lead a way of life in which there is enough interaction with people to enjoy a happy life.

Dalai Lama Quotes on Suffering and Happiness

The reason why reflection of suffering is so important is because there is a possibility of a way out. There is a possibility of freedom from suffering. According to Buddhist thought, the root causes of suffering are ignorance, craving and hatred. By generating insight into the true nature of reality and eliminating afflictive states of mind such as craving and hatred, one can achieve a completely purified state of mind, free from suffering.

We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things and sometimes taking things too personally.

I think to a large extent whether you suffer depends on how you respond to a given situation.

There may be a variety of ways that one might deal with the feeling that one's suffering is unfair. I've already spoken of the importance of accepting suffering as a natural fact of human existence.  In general, if we carefully examine any given situation in a very unbiased and honest way, we will realize that to a large extent we are also responsible to the unfolding of events.

Dalai Lama happiness is characterized by peace, compassion, and loving kindness, and still it is strong enough to stand firmly against hatred and intolerance.

Demon's Rights

By V.K. Bronz

"An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas"

From the day I saw Obama first, I wept. I believe this generation will see the destruction of our constitution and our voting rights. I believe we will see Obama remove the two term limitation on the presidency and will find a way to remain in power after this four years, all because of the lust of our flesh and the cry for more.

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie.” 2 Th 2:10-11

Last night (2006) early this morning I heard for a second time in the last couple months, someone say; "--bomb" while I was asleep. The first time I heard this I got up and prayed but this time I waited until I got up in the morning. It’s not that I was disregarding it but I have peace about it that the Lord has given me.

Back in the eighties I had a similar situation take place; I heard the word Earthquake half the night so I got up and prayed. The next day I saw on the news California had had a large Earthquake destroying roadways and killing people.

When I got up this morning I felt the Lord had set aside the morning for me to sit in his presence worshiping. It was wonderful and hurtful at the same time. I received a word from the Lord regarding the church in the United States. I don’t know if you can even call it a word, because as I worshiped I heard someone proclaim:

The great harlot (United States) is crippled, she has fallen. I saw a long leg bone with no flesh upon it, of a man or cow and heard someone say: she shall feed upon the bones. She has turned her back upon her king.

She shall feed upon her detestable things. Let her detestable things feed and nourish and love her. She has wounded the land with an incurable wound. She has sent many to the pit of darkness.

I am coming with myriads of demons.

There would have been more but the last sentence freaked me out so much I cut off the word for fear it was not from God, but after study and prayer I realized what God was saying and remembered a previous word he had given me.

I was allowed to hear a conversation of what was happening in the church and was to come because of it. While I have no details of the bomb (or destructive event) I do believe it is one of the coming judgments due to the condition of the church.

It will not be the death blow but one of five events that will cripple and eventually bring down America.

These are the verses the Lord quoted to me directly after the word I heard in the heaven lies:

“An evil generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth.

The men of Nin e-veh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater then Jo nas is here.”

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through the dry places, seeking rest and findeth none.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: And the last state of the man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.” (Mt. 12:39-45)

Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. God has said those that seek after signs and wonders are committing adultery. Our hearts lust after another not our Lord who came from the cross to the pit of hell to the throne to set us free from the demons of darkness and death. These are literal demons that we are released from the power of when we turn to Jesus.

We in our lust have set this demon up in the midst of Gods sanctuary as the enemy set up the giant idol of Dagon in the temple. In the morning the idol was laying prostrate on the floor with its head and its hands severed. God is about to shake the earth to cut off and bring down the giant idol out of His sanctuary.

Nin e-veh listened to the preaching of Jonas, they received the witness of resurrection from the dead and they repented. The Queen of Sheba went to great extremes to seek out the truth of what she had heard; and Christ is greater then either of these signs.

Christ came and cleansed us with his blood and resurrected us from the demons of death and darkness that possessed us: we are then to seek that we might find the truth and continue to seek, but as the false prophets have come our hearts have turned from seeking God to lusting after demons (all the shows on television prove this) and doctrines of demons.

The demons that were cast out of us by the power of the resurrection of the Lord are now returning. What the demons are finding is the house that was suppose to be the house of the Lord, a house of prayer and holiness, is now empty. We have not filled it with the Lord, it is vacant, so the demons are returning with seven more demons worse then itself.

O my Lord have mercy! What is coming to pass is the release of demons, darkness and destruction upon the people and God in his mercy is explaining in the following verse why they have a right to come:

“If there arise among you a prophet, or dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or wonder, and the sign or wonder come to pass, where of he has spoke unto thee saying, let us go after other Gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them”:

Thou shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him and cleave unto him”. (Deut. 13:1)

God is not tricking us here he is allowing the false ones to come in through the hedge to see if what YOU say is true. You say you love him and only him (one God before us) we ourselves need to see and have our faith tested so we can recognize what is really in our hearts.

The false prophet is not going to say to you : “I'm introducing you to some idols of greed, selfishness and lust tonight so I can get lots of money out of you and if you receive them they will bring more demons into your life and will separate you from God and rule over you.”

We are expected by God to have exercised our gift of discerning well enough to know in our spirit immediately this is not God; and we are expected to have sought out God and his truths that we might know God well enough to recognize the lie wrapped up in the enticing package.

These false teachers and prophets are building their ministries and churches by preaching happy, happy, happy, and opening the door for the end times lying wonders that the Lord says if possible even the elite may be fooled.

Issue 98 – No More Christian Christmas!

By Kirby Robinson

This Tuesday Night on Grand Dark Conspiracy Radio

December 11th at 10 to Midnight [EST]
Grand Dark Conspiracy with Daniel Bautz
http://granddarkconspiracy.com/

It May Not Feel Like Christmas Much Longer

If anyone has their eyes open spiritually by the blood of Jesus Christ, they have noticed a war on Christmas by the anti Christian movement. Under the guise of so-called cultural sensitivity or religious open-mindedness, the good old ACLU is trying to remove Christ and God from the season -- and it seems they’re winning.

To me this is more proof that the foundation for the end times is being poured. Because the element of a loving God and His Son who died for us to be healed and freed from death has to be off the stage for this to happen.

In Rhode Island, the governor states that no one should call the Christmas tree in the state capital a Christmas tree…it’s to be called a holiday tree. Now we all know that the Christmas tree has nothing to do with the birth of Christ and a true celebration of His birth. In reality, some would point out that the pine tree is really a symbol of a fertility god, NOT the one true God. But it’s just one more step in the war to remove Christmas from the public’s mind.

In Georgia, a group of students has had a yearly Christmas tree sale as a fundraising event, but this year they’ve been banned from doing so. None of the groups that worked in stopping the sale ever mentioned giving money to the student group to make up the loss. I guess it’s more important to make a political statement than help students.

Years ago that bastion of conservative Christian values, Walmart, put profit over God when they advised the sales clerks to say happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. I’m always amazed by this as there is only one holiday that matters. New year is a manmade event, and as the hair grows even more gray I can’t figure the point of this one. Just as His Holiness the Dalia Lama states “same problems, different day.”

For the past 60 years, in Santa Monica, CA, there has been a Christmas display made up of scenes of the story of the birth of Christ. It’s has been presented by various local churches who bid on the open spots. Last year, the anti-God groups got together and outbid most of the local churches. They put together a group of vile displays mocking God. This year there is no display at all.

Until recently, a person could turn on the radio and hear “the best in Christmas hits.” But it has changed to “holiday hits.” Soon, you’ll tune in and hear such classics as:

“I’m Dreaming of a White Holiday.”

“I Heard the Bells on Holiday”

“Blue Holiday”

“Oh Holiday Tree”

I hate making predictions but in this case, I will. In ten years, finding any reference to the reason for the season will not happen. When a child asks a parent about why there’s Christmas, the response will not be the story of the birth of Christ, it will be “no other reason. Just to get gifts, eat, drink, and have fun.” All the while, a tear runs down Jesus’ face.

Culture Watch: Television & Demonaphobia

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

The deception began with a bang. The DT crew (Destination Truth) went to the Mayan ruins, which was the site of untold number of human sacrifices to idols—which as the bible tells us is participating in demons. In light of this, one would have thought they would have put demons at least on their possible suspect list for the accelerated paranormal activity there; they didn’t. Instead, team DT posited, before even went there, that the recent accelerated activity was either due to the sacrificial victims or the Mayan warriors. Even though scared to death at points, demons were not even an option.

I try to stay in touch with popular culture, so I watch as many of the haunted TV shows as I can. What I am sharing is based on what I witnessed over the last month of watching the following shows: Destination Truth, Ghost Adventures, Haunted Collector, A Haunting, The Dead Files, Paranormal Witness, Haunted Highway, and one more about hauntings at colleges but I can’t for the life of me remember the name.  Sheesh. That is eight shows on three nights of the week (Tues., Wed., Friday). People’s beliefs and worldviews are unconsciously shaped by exposure to this much haunted TV, but this is but a tip of the paranormal iceberg on TV. One list had about fifty shows, which in some form or fashion, focus on the assumed reality of ghosts. FIFTY!  Of course they are not all on the same season schedule, and a few on the list are now cancelled—but as with The Ghost Whisperer or Charmed, re-runs are current with a number of these. That is an incredible number of shows, which reveals how we are witnessing a paradigm shift in our understanding of spirituality (topic for another day). This phenomenon is both a shaper of culture as well as a reflection of it.

My purpose in watching all these shows was in part to answer this question: is TV phobic regarding demons? The undeniable answer is “yes”; the vast majority of these shows avoid fingering demons as the cause of supernatural activity in homes or businesses. Whether it is the individuals or the networks (or both) that are demonaphobic, the reality is that the phobia is ubiquitous. As with the opening scene with DT, it is astounding how hesitant folks are on these shows to assign the blame on demons for even the most despicable activity. For varying reasons, the almost monolithic consensus of investigators is that demonic encounters are rare. So, in that regard the TV shows are mirroring current beliefs in this field. One quick example. The much respected John Zaffis is called in to assuage the fears of a young mom. There has been verbal threats and physical violence, to the point she is terrified. During an EVP session (red flag!) John asks the spirit if it is angry with the family, and child’s voice answered, "no". Based almost entirely on this captured EVP, John interprets all of this scratching, pushing, and threats as an expression of trust that this child ghost feels with the young mom. A touching scene follows, and I am feeling nauseous. That is baloney sir. Do you always trust children’s voices? What would you think of a living child who scratched and pushed people and threatened them? I would have had my rear-end whipped good as a child if I did half of what that demon did to those people. That is calling wrong…. right-something the bible condemns. On another episode his tech, Brian, got a long triple scratch down his back, and demons were not mentioned at all—not amongst themselves (that we know of) or with the client. Does anybody else find that problematic? Two per show… that makes eight hair raising episodes in a month, in which a world famous, professing Christian demonologist does not even mention demons.

While watching Paranormal Witness tonight I thought that, finally, they will call a spade a spade. Two or three deputies are witness to some hair raising activity in an old theatre. After what he called demon like activity, one of them quit. It seemed that, given all the focus on the sheer evil of this entity, that a demon was going to be the culprit. Wrong. By the end, it was reported that a young man had died in a fire there and all the activity was then viewed through that prism. So, in all those shows I watched, I do not recall a demon being seen as the cause of the supernatural activity. Moreover, most of the time, demons were not even mentioned. We are talking several dozen episodes. THAT frequency and repetition is clearly influencing people’s views regarding both ghosts and the demonic.  It makes me weep.

I find this very troubling because it is only reinforcing in the audience’s minds that ghosts are the only plausible explanation for supernatural activity. It is shaping their view of supernatural reality…millions of people. “Yes demons are real, but rare”. Sound familiar?  It should, because demonic rarity is the majority view of investigators. Sure it happens but even the most “negative” (grown to really dislike that word) entities are almost always viewed as irregular humans or possibly some whacked out dimensional being (eg energy vampires—demons can mimic that). If it smells like sulfur, levitation is occurring, tables are flying across the room, apportation, extreme aversion to blessed objects, client speaking backwards in Latin, and people are being hurt, THEN folks will discuss the possibility of demonic presence. Sheeesh….(ok, a bit exaggerated) Once you introduce the concept of ghosts (including poltergeist and residual), then identifying demons is hopelessly subjective.

Stop! Everyone believes that demons are deceptive, so why the almost fervent hesitancy to label something demonic unless all the aforementioned is present? Even veteran, biblical demonologists fall prey to this faulty logic when they assume they will always feel heaviness in the air if there is a demonic infestation. If you have a strong gift of discernment (there are gradations of sensitivity), then that is a horse of a different color. But generally, demons can leave a palpable sense of peace and love. That is certainly an implicate of the angel of light principle, and there is a plethora of anecdotal evidence to support this. They can control the vibe of a house. How convincing is an angel-cloaked demon going to be if everyone has the heeby-jeebies around them or feel nauseous and so on? Back to the fervent hesitancy.

Satan is not omnipotent, but he is showing considerable power in how he has promoted this demonaphobia. The issue is not what you personally believe—the issue is, what is the message coming across the TV? This was an experiment to observe. The bottom line is that if the angel of light principle is real—and it is—then there is no way to make a list of criteria for demonic presence; they can and do break all the rules and all the stereotypes. And to rule out from the get-go the possibility of demonic activity is not science, it is ideological assumptions. (REPEAT) It is the opposite of true science…destination untruth. 

Demonaphobia….that is what is plastered all over TV these days. This is a call to all bible believing Christians to be salt and light for the glory of God.

Ghosts are Residual Energies—Not People

By Lisa Grace

What people refer to as “ghosts” I call residual energy or if interactive, a type of demon. While the appearance may resemble a person who lived, the residual energy has more in common with a photograph or a video. Just as a photo is not the person, neither is the “ghost”/residual energy.

These residual energies, for a while, can attract other supernatural creatures, which I refer to as demons. Their whole purpose is to mislead you from the truth and down a path of destruction.

Ask yourself, why aren’t there any hauntings from societies we no longer remember? Why aren’t there tons of Roman soldiers or ancient Hitites? Why aren’t Italy or Greece the most haunted places per square foot?

Because these residual energies do not last forever. 

Just like photos, they fade and disintegrate. The evil demons that nurture or mimic them, move on to stronger residual energies.

Demons roam the earth looking for those they can destroy/mislead.

While listening to EVP’s is fascinating, it will never reveal more about the paranormal. Why?

Because these demons have zero interest in revealing the truth. The truth is already readily available in the Holy Scriptures.

If more people relied on the truth, once they realized a demon was present, they would bind them and drive them away.

Many paranormal investigators have had demons follow them home. They then realize maybe they are playing with fire. Entities are not harmless and are not toys.

What are residual energies?

We know thoughts are measurable energy. We were told thousands of years ago in the Scripture that our words are powerful. Every word starts out as a thought first. Therefore thoughts are powerful, too.

Thoughts can be measured by MRI’s and other types of brain scans. If we can measure the energy we can record it. That means there is a permanent record of that thought.

Scientist have actually created a machine that can look at a person’s electro magnetic energy released while concentrating on a memory, and they can recreate a crude picture/movie of the thought. http://techland.time.com/2011/09/23/scientists-can-almost-read-your-mind-turn-thoughts-into-movies/

If scientists can now prove what the Holy Scriptures have said (before it was provable), then we can see how strong emotions or repetitious actions can “burn” or record in time and place, a record of an event. This is all these residual energies are.

I watched an episode of The Neighbors last night. The alien dad was talking into an etch a sketch, expecting to get an answer, like you can with certain phone aps. This is what it is like when investigators try to talk to a “haunting.” Now because demons are attracted to these energies, if you get an answer, you have a demon. In that case, you need to get it removed. We’ll talk more about that in my next column.

Issue 97 – Special Paranormal News Wednesday

By Kirby Robinson

My Eye on the Paranormal blog will be coming out sometime this weekend, but I had to include some interesting news.

We offer the truth not only in eBook format, but as a paperback. Never Mock God: An Unauthorized Investigation into Paranormal State’s ‘I Am Six’ Case is now available as a print edition and can be found in the books section at Amazon:
Never Mock God

Never Mock God--UK

Michael Frisbee’s The Paranormal Christian Radio Show – Saturday 12/8

This might be the most eye-opening and controversial paranormal program ever!

I’ll be joining Michael for a special edition of his Saturday night radio program during which we’ll be tackle some of the most controversial issues within the paranormal field.

We’ve issued an open letter to Chip Coffey, Ryan Buell, and Lara M to appear and explain things away, which would lead to the removal of the book from the market, and a public apology. To date, we have received no reply from any of them.

So tune in and get informed, but also angered, that not only did they mock God [and continue to do so] but they mock the hard work of the honest and genuine investigators within the paranormal field. They mock the hard work of men and woman of the cloth who combat the demonic every single day without the limelight.
