Reincarnation and the spiritual development religions that Hinduism, Buddism, Yoga, and other Eastern religions teach is not a new subject. The super human abilities that some seem to possess, even if they are not followers of these religions, is something that still baffles and perplexes the scientific world to this day. People who claim to do be able to do super human feats say anyone and everyone can perform them, so the connection to us and their abilities deeper rooted? Spiritual growth and karmic balances are strong with the previously mentioned religions and non-followers also point toward a good will to all. This is important to note because it would seem, as one progresses in spirit, the laws of the material world, as we see it, gradually falls in line with the spiritual attuned individual. The idea is that we, over many life times, seek to balance our Karma and develop the spiritual side of us to find out "High Self" or become "Enlightened". The terminology changes a bit over these beliefs, but the driving goal seems to be the same. Due to our life span not being long enough, normally, to finish this process, we come back to incarnate another body to continue or training and learn the lessons needed to get there. So, this is where we hit the super human side of what seems to be modern day twists on ancient religions. For example there is Devraha Baba, and Indian saint who lived in Mathura. His family tree places his age at around 250 years! It was rumored he lived over 700. He was called "The Ageless Yogi" having gain mastery over his hunger and time of his death. Subbayah Pullavar, another Indian yogi, had been recorded levitating for five minutes in front of 150 witnesses. Sri Sathya Sai Baba was called the "Man of Miracles" and seemed to be able to perform astonishing things. They included materializing objects from thin air, resurrection, healing all types of diseases, as well as possessed the ability to read one's thoughts. These men, and many like them, were very spiritual men with many years of life devoted to their own spiritual development. It would seem that even death can be defied by one who is able to attain such a level. An ability to increase life span, or to transfer one's soul, to balance out Karma in a single lifetime is even one of the Minor Siddhi powers in the path of Kundalini Yoga. As ancient as these beliefs are, it would seem they understood a connection between the spirit and a cycle of new incarnations before finding, for lack of a better word, "enlightenment". At it's higher levels or mastery and understanding men such as those mentioned above shine through as having super human abilities, but perhaps that's just a path we all have to take and discover. Until beliefs like this and their connections to science spread to more people, this aspect may be locked in the "paranormal" realm. Here, I think, another look to ancient knowledge will be our best guide in understanding ourselves and how we directly relate to paranormal phenomena.

Family Tree - Connecting the Dots of the Paranormal: Reincarnation and Super Human Abilities
Family Tree - Husband Wanted Apply Within
Charles Dickens, on his visit to America, was appalled by the Democratic way with which young people got married. It seemed to him that while democracy was all right in its own way, when choosing a wife a man should think long and hard before choosing a spouse. He should at least be able to go down her family tree to her grandfather or grandmother. But, of course, the further he could go the better. You couldn't flirt with the happiness of your future by marrying a pretty face, or pleasant disposition. There was posterity to think of. Being a man, he, of course, didn't consider the plight of a woman. How was she to get a husband in days where you could only choose from the neighborhood in which you lived? In days past, when bearing of children was upper most in everybody's mind, every girl wanted to get married as early as she could. And, as in the present age, with the men it was always, 'manana'. No woman could afford to sit and wait till her prince started thinking about going out into the world and look for that special woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He might think he was ready at the age of sixty-five, which was quite useless for her. So if she wanted to get married while she could still walk, it was up to the woman to let him know that she was ready and willing and able. We imagine that advertising started with the twentieth century. As far as the marriage stakes are concerned, it's been around for ever. If you see red every time you see those bill boards running the length of roads and country, then have a think about this. In some countries, parents with an eligible daughter at home, would actually use their house as the advertising medium. Depending in which region you lived, you might paint your whole house a certain color to encourage the young bucks to drop in and have a look inside. In areas where money didn't grow on trees, instead of painting the whole house, they might throw over it splashes of certain color. Or, in other cases, instead of the whole house, they might just paint the fence. It was just a question of a smaller ad. Everyone knew what the color stood for. But, of course, where you had an obstinate father who'd just shrug his shoulders and splutter, 'I'd be blowed if I'm going to waste good paint on those young idiots. If they can't find her, that's their bad luck.' Male logic, thought the women of the house and looked for other ways to attract those males. There was the one where they poured sand in the front yard, and instead of a living garden, created a garden of sand arranged like so many plants. It was always effective, and much talked about, especially in a country town where nobody knew what sand was. And there was always the standby, a wreath nailed to the front door when it wasn't even Christmas. Vlady Peters is an Australian Civil Marriage Celebrant authorized to perform marriage in Australia.

Family Tree - The Infamous Donut - Make Your Mark
Close your eyes and think back to the 60's and 70's. Remember the high-spirited drivers that bought and drove the muscle cars? This may help - - Donut: Definition - Circular design produced on a road surface by a vehicle's tires when they are rotating with a greater angular velocity than the road under them. As the name implies, the basic shape is round but many options exist. In fact, even the straight burn out has been called a donut. Spirals, check-marks, hooks, sweeps, etc. have been chosen to make a statement and named "donut" over the years. Whichever is planted on the road, the car tires must revolve faster than the road surface and leave a lasting mark. The art of creating donuts dates to the caveman following the discovery of the wheel. Some spirited young man got himself a set of wheels and spun them, making a mark in the dust, thus originating a very simple donut. Later the baker's confection, a doughnut, was named after the original donut because of its shape. Through the years, "wheels" have become more and more complex so that today all one has to do is mash an accelerator to get the desired effect. All a person must do is climb into an automobile with sufficient torque, cramp the wheels and fully depress the accelerator. One may go with the 180-degree turn, or "bat-turn", or one may stay with the usual 360 degree, full turn donut. This is left to the discretion of the hot rodder. (Note: It was a lot easier a few decades ago when there were no front-wheel drive cars.) These pleasing circuitous marks are most often seen at intersections or on wide roads, although the art may be performed at any location. The longevity of a donut depends on various factors. When left on cement or asphalt, the duration of the artistic statement can be extended by leaving more of the tire on the road and bonding it with the road surface with high heat. High power and warm weather will allow a large amount of Goodyear to remain on display for extended periods of time. Longevity of a donut on a gravel or dirt road depends on the frequency of road maintenance, road consistency and the perseverance of the donuteer. For example: If a road only gets graded monthly, is lightly packed with limited traffic, and the artist wants to make a profound statement, he can revolve for several rotations and really carve out a beauty. That being said, he will still tip his hat to the chap that put 20,000 miles worth of tire wear in an expression on a hard surfaced road. The donut is invariably created at some time in the life of every young driver with a fair amount of horsepower under the hood. Some, of course, employ this means of unparalleled entertainment and thrills more than others. Most, however, will grab their initial "chirp" and retire to a lifelong adventure of sedate driving. Many young, ace donuteers live just for the thrill of outdoing one another. If Joe Car can go around more times and leave more of his Firestones on the road than Tom Auto, he is the better. The only way to dethrone him as King of the fast turn-about is to plant more rubber on the road with more expression and thus the never-ending circle (pun intended) continues. This process of getting kicks is much appreciated by the auto repair industry and tire manufactures around the world. Donuteering is frowned upon by fathers, mayors, officials, and elderly people not accustomed to the ear splitting but beautiful scream of tortured rubber being flayed on hard surfaced roads.
