The Psychology of a Self Fulfilling Prophesy

Self fulfilling prophecy is a concept developed by the American sociologist, Robert K. Merton, to explain how a belief or expectation, whether true or not, affects the outcome of a situation or the behavior of a person or group. In other words, what we expect is often what we get.

According to this concept, we form certain expectations of people or events and either consciously or unconsciously convey those expectations with various cues and signs, either in the way we talk or behave, that led to people adjusting their behavior to match those expectations. The result is that the original expectation becomes true. Read more

Who am I?

The modern lifestyle is all about doing. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we fall asleep at night, we are constantly looking for things to do. Some of these things we do are necessary but most are there only to fill up the time. Somehow, we find it unbearable or unacceptable to not have things to do. At the other end of the spectrum, there are those of us who would try to squeeze as many activities into a single day as we can, assuming that the more we do the more we get out of our lives.

The modern lifestyle does not allow time for reflections and introspection. To do that, we must first be willing to slow down, uncluttered our lives and set our priorities. We need to examine our values and know what we hold to be precious in our lives. We need to look within, know ourselves and become our own best friend. Read more

Finding Peace in the midst of Chaos

The external world we experienced is a mirror reflection of our inner state of mind. This is what is meant by the phrase “As within, so without” – a spiritual law taught by an ancient god known as Thoth to the Egyptians and as Hermes to the Greeks.

Thus, in our effort to find peace in this world, we must first find peace within ourselves. In fact, peace is, has always been and will always be our true essence. Peace is the unchanging essence of who we really are. It has always been there and will never be lost. Our job is to find it, recognize it and re-claim it. No one else can do it for us. We must do it ourselves. Read more

How to Resolve Conflicts

Every relationship comes with potential conflicts. It is hard to find a relationship that has no conflict. So having a conflict in a relationship is not really abnormal. It certainly does not mean the end of the relationship. It only means that we now have the opportunity to improve on the relationship and even take it to the next level.

From a spiritual perspective, relationship is an opportunity for growth. Each relationship is unique for the 2 persons involved. We are first attracted into a relationship because of some common similarities or interests. However, it is the differences that offer us growth potentials. How we grow depends on how we manage these differences. Read more

The Wisdom of Letting Go

If you are in the New Age circle, you have no doubt come across the concept of “letting go”. What is meant by letting go? What do we let go of?

We go through life with a mental habit of acquiring and clinging on to things, people, emotions and thoughts. We do it almost always unconsciously. This is our default mode. However, it is not the acquiring that causes us problems. The problem is that we cling to our acquisitions – automatically, religiously and often times fanatically.

Clinging on to things or people can be quite obvious to most people. For example, we are used to seeing children clinging on to their parents, or a boyfriend clinging on to a girlfriend. We have also seen people clinging on to their money and properties, like the famous story of Scrooge in Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. Read more

An Interview with Cameron Day, Creator of Genius Brain Power

1. Who are you? Can you let us know a bit about your background, some of your professional qualifications and personal interests.

My name is Cameron Day and the primary focus of my life has been spiritual evolution. I have helped thousands of people to reconnect to their inner divinity through my website AscensionHelp.com. All of my spiritual studies and evolution have brought me to the point where I could create these incredibly powerful brainwave entrainment audio recordings to share with you.

I have been meditating since I was 4 years old thanks to my parents who practice a unique style of Buddhist chanting meditation. This kind of meditation is known as “active meditation” or “mantra meditation” and I was very fortunate to learn it as a child. Read more

Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave entrainment refers to using new scientific technology to synchronize our brainwaves with an external stimulus.

Scientists have found that our mental states correspond specifically to certain brainwaves. For example, a long practicing meditator with calm and composed nature usually have alpha brainwaves while those of us who are constantly stressed by work have high beta brainwaves.

Using persistent, regular and specific audio (sound) and/or visual (light) stimulation, scientists found that we can gradually change our brainwave from beta to alpha, thereby reducing our sense of stress and increased sense of relaxation. Read more

Living without Fear

Is it possible to live a life without fear?

In all probability, you have not come across anyone in your life who is without fear. We therefore, from our own experiences, generally believe that fear is part and parcel of a normal life.

However, in recent times, we have heard of people who are able to live their lives without fear. People like Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie and Jan Frazier are a handful of people who have written about and share their discovery of a fearless life. In olden times, many mystics and gurus have also been able to achieve living their lives without fear and sufferings. Read more
