Article Check - Finding G-d* in the Details
Like many website marketers, I use long tail keywords in many popular pay per click programs to drive targeted traffic to my websites. For those new to long tail keywords, a ‘long tail’ is simply a keyword phrase that is very specific, and longer than your average keyword.Let’s say you have a website about credit repair. Here are a couple example keywords for that:Credit repair Credit repair online Credit repair program How do I repair my bad credit How do I repair my bad credit score Help with repairing my credit scoreThe first three keyword sets would probably be considered normal keywords, and the last three would be considered long tail keywords. Long tail keywords have several advantages, and some disadvantages:Advantages: - Highly targeted traffic. If the user searched for that particular phrase, they are ready to buy, and know what they want. -A LOT cheaper bid prices. Not much competition on that keyword from other PPC users.Disadvantages: - Less traffic coming from those keywords. - You have to come up with quite a few of these long tails to get mu
The Choice: To Give Up or to Grow Up
Once this happens, you have a choice. You can give up, leaving all those parts of yourself and your life (the vessels) the way they were when you started, your light unexpressed, and you with yet one more failure under your belt.
Or, you can continue to move forward, taking a good hard look at what’s in the way and making the effort, within those myriad details of time and space, to correct, remove or transform it. This stage can be challenging, even intensely so, and it often requires grounded and persistent effort to get through to the end. It means taking a good hard look at yourself and your l
You might have a strong case in arguing that no one is indispensable in their job, and i would agree to some extent, especially in today's uncertain jobmarket. So how can you indeed become indispensable in your job? Well, it is really about having a certain mindset that if utilised will enable you to distinguish yourself from the crowd, providing you with confidence and security in your long term career.I have said in previous articles that in order to succeed in your career you need to think like a business person and not like a mere employee. This is why the solution lies in your thinking and especially how you think of yourself. When you think like an 'employee' it sought of means you place less value on yourself, you rely upon your boss to do everything, he/she pays your wages after all. But when you think like the boss you become indispensable it means you place higher value on yourself you are self sufficient, self motivated, independent, reliable and essentially you are just like the boss. This is not to say employees are not valued, the difference is that though the employee may do those things, working hard and so on, the
It’s a common experience. In it’s pure ungrounded form, in your imagination, the vision can look vastly inspiring and easy to achieve. But when you try to bring it into reality, manifest it in all the myriad and fragmented details of your life, more often than not you find that there are lots of obstacles along the way.
This is the stage that, as the saying goes, separates the men from the boys. The easiest thing to do at this point is to give up, to stay with your old habitual ways of being that may not be ultimately fulfilling but are, at least, comfortably familiar.
But, if you make up your mind to stay the course, to work through the obstacles and manifest your vision no matter what it takes, you will find at the end that you have not only altered your circumstances, but you’ve grown hugely in the process.
Light-Darkness-Light: A Core Principle of Creation
If you’ve ever had this experience, you have unwittingly stumbled upon one of the core spiritual secrets of Creation. Life is designed in such a way that our deepest and most powerful growth occurs not as a smooth upward process, but in a three-fold pattern of vision-breakdown-transformation, or light-darkness-light.
At the beginning of the process the light of your vision shines powerfully and clearly – but in an external way, without taking account the myriad details through which that light must be manifested. It’s there, inspiring you, but it’s not really yours, nor does it do anything to affect the world around you.
Bringing your vision into actuality means that the light has to be contained in “vessels”. It must be expressed not only in your mind, but in the physical details of time and space - your relationships, habits, and environment. The problem is that at this stage, these vessels are often too small and immature to contain the light of the new reality you want to create.
When this is the case, things don’t work out the way you want them to. In fact, sometimes they actually get worse.
As you attempt to create new ways of being or implement new endeavors, your relationships may get even more difficult, your environment more disorderly, your schedule more stressful or your emotional state more overwhelmed. As often occurs when we attempt something challenging, you might experience fear, resistance, confusion, or disappointment. And inevitably, you will get in touch with things about yourself that you would have probably preferred not to see.

Scientists may not know what causes prostate cancer, but some studies have concluded that certain substances and foods may lower the risk of developing the disease. According to recent studies, prostate dysfunction has been shown to be a nutritional disease. It is much more common in developed Western countries where men consume foods tending to accumulate environmental toxins, like animal-derived foods, such as red meat, eggs and dairy products. On the contrary, fruit and vegetable rich diets exert a protective effect. Statistics say that milk may be bad for the prostate. It is not a pure coincidence, countries that consume the most milk have the highest incidence of prostate cancer. The problem appears to be milk’s calcium. Growing evidence suggests that excessive calcium intake, regardless of source, suppresses the synthesis of a form of vitamin D that inhibits prostate cancer. In contrast, men who consume red fruit or vegetables such as tomatoes, tomato-based foods (e.g., ketchup, pasta, etc.), carrots, guavas, watermelon, red oranges and pink grapefruit are reported with lowest risk to get prostate

Sometimes we do things and we don't know why we repeat them over and over again given that they seem to drain us. For instance, night after night you may stay up too late and then be dragging at work the next day. You tell yourself that you won't do that again but the next night comes and it's another 2 AM night. The alarm goes off at 6:30 and the cycle continues of exhaustion, promises to change the habit and late night tv.How can we overcome this type of behavior that we know saps our energy? Sometimes we need to step back and look at what is going on. Are we compensating for something missing during the day or in our lives by watching tv so late on week nights? If so, is there a way to make work more enjoyable or challenging ? If you dislike your job have you thought about looking at the paper for possible job opportunities that may match your interests and abilities better?Is something missing socially in your life? Can something special be set up on the weekend with family or friends that will be a true highlight of the week? If you are single, can you think about ways you will begin to

Tornadoes are defined as an aggressively rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cloud base and the earth. Tornadoes typically have a visible funnel, with the narrow end touching the surface of the earth.Most tornadoes have winds of 100mph or less, are approximately 90 meters wide, and travel a few miles before fizzling out. Some tornadoes can have winds of more than 280mph, can be more than a mile across, and stay on the ground for tens of miles.Tornadoes have been observed on every continent on earth except Antarctica, the majority the world's tornadoes occur in the United States and in particular Tornado Alley. Other areas which commonly experience tornadoes around the world include New Zealand, Australia, Canada, central Europe, south-central and eastern Asia, South America, and Southern Africa.The life cycle of a tornado begins when a strong thunderstorm develops a rotating mesocyclone high up in the atmosphere. As rainfall in the storm increases, it drags with it an area of quickly descending air known as the rear flank downdraft. This downdraft accelerates as it approaches the ground, and drag

Yes, credit card debt relief. avoiding bankruptcy and rebuilding your credit is possible with a very simple plan. I used this plan to turn my life around, and you can too. For many Americans' today credit card / consumer debt is the biggest financial problem they face. Let's face it you will always have a mortgage and car payments, these are necessities of life. This only leaves consumer debt as an avenue to improve your financial life immediately. Reducing your families debt could greatly improve your overall life and happiness. So you are probably asking yourself where's the catch, well there is no catch here.The plan is simple. Gather all of your bills and sort them. Your mortgage and car payment go together with all of your monthly utilities and any insurance policies you carry. This stack is the ones that everyone must have. Take all the ones that are left and place them together. This is the stack we will eliminate. Start off by making a list of the payments and pay-off balances of each one. The one that has the lowest balance is where you will start. Now the hard part of this plan is starting it, you must carefully examine

Or, you can continue to move forward, taking a good hard look at what’s in the way and making the effort, within those myriad details of time and space, to correct, remove or transform it. This stage can be challenging, even intensely so, and it often requires grounded and persistent effort to get through to the end. It means taking a good hard look at yourself and your life, working to expand your abilities, improve your relationships or your character, and build your inner strength and courage.
If you are willing to do this, chances are high that you will succeed over time in making your vision a reality, although this is never certain. What is certain, however, is that you will have grown as a human being – the reason the obstacles were there in the first place.
In fact, this growth, this process of expanding beyond your own boundaries, of interacting with the G-d-given circumstances of your life in such a way that your infinite soul expresses more and more of itself through the “vessel” of your finite physical body, is the purpose behind your very existence here on earth.
Moses and the Shattering
The story of the giving of the Torah – specifically, of how Moses received the two tablets of the Ten Commandments – embodies this principle.
Altogether, Moses spent 120 days and nights on Mount Sinai in intimate discourse with G-d. During the first 40 days he was divested from all of his physical needs, and taught the secrets of Torah by the Creator. At the end of this period he descended from Mount Sinai with the first set of tablets on which were engraved the Ten Commandments. This first set was of heavenly sapphire and the words were engraved in the stone in a miraculous manner by G-d Himself.
When Moses brought these tablets down from the mountain he was confronted by the sight and sound of the Jewish people celebrating over the Golden Calf. In response, he smashed the tablets on the ground, shattering them to pieces.
After punishing the ringleaders, he once again ascended the mountain for another 40 days and prayed for G-d’s forgiveness for the people.
Then, during the final 40 days, Moses received the Torah once again. But this time he did so as a human being, in a body, through hard work and struggle. Rather than G-d carving the new tablets, Moses had to carve them himself, on stone that came not from heaven, but from the ground. This time, although G-d once again provided the light, Moses had to create the vessels.
Lights in Vessels
At first glance this episode looks like a tragic disappointment. But oddly, after Moses smashed the first tablets, G-d complimented him.
Why? Because from the inner plane of reality these events were an absolutely necessary part of the Divine template for Creation. The stage of “shattering” is an intrinsic part of the process of the transformation of our world – and us. It is through this process that we create a “dira b’tachtonim”, a dwelling place for G-d in the myriad physical details of time and space.
