In Kabul, Afghanistan’s first bowling alley offers respite from war; window into challenges

By Associated Press, Published: October 30

KABUL, Afghanistan — In an Afghan capital scarred by years of war, a young Afghan woman has bet $1 million that her countrymen could use a little fun.

Located just down the street from Kabul’s glitziest mall, is The Strikers, the country’s first bowling alley and owner Meena Rahmani’s gamble on the capital’s newest entertainment venue. But more than a place for family fun in a city largely devoid of options, the 12-lane center stands as a reflection of both the country’s hope for the future and the challenge of securing one even as NATO’s fight against the Taliban enters its 11th year.

“We can never compare a bowling center ... in Afghanistan and one ... in the West,” said Rahmani. “Afghanistan needed a place like this.”

Aside from the cultural significance of such a center in a country largely lacking entertainment choices, building the bowling alley was a massive undertaking. All the equipment is imported, the engineers came from China and the alley is powered by several industrial-sized generators. The entrance to the alley sits behind blast-resistant steel doors guarded by burly men toting AK-47 assault rifles.

“This was a huge project,” said Rahmani, but “we were committed to it.”

Rahmani has gambled $1 million of her own money — secured from the sale of family land — that the center will not only help bored Afghans kill a few hours, but also a place where men, women and families can gather and relax, not burdened by the social, religious and cultural restrictions that govern daily life in the impoverished country.

Inside, several dozen Afghans, most of whom learned to bowl abroad, seem to agree. In the month since it opened, The Strikers has become a hit.

“Here, on our days off, we walk aimlessly in the streets,” said Navid Sediqi, a 29-year-old businessman. He said he used to begin his weekend by logging onto Facebook and chatting with his friends online. After Friday prayers, they would go to picnic areas or parks, and sit and chat.

“This is so much better. Finally, a bit of excitement on our days off,” he said dressed in a pressed, white traditional shalwar kameez.

For most people in this city of about 5 million, there were, for years, few options to while away the hours.

There are kite fights, picnics or paddle-boat rides on a lake on Kabul’s outskirts, as well as football games on dirt pitches that ring Darulaman Palace, the bombed-out seat of former Afghan kings. Some rusty amusement rides have been set up for children, including in a graveyard.

Snooker clubs also have sprouted up around Kabul, but they are largely seen as attracting unsavory characters — people who Sediqi described as “not the kind of open-minded people” one would find at the bowling alley.

Like most everything else in Afghanistan, the alley is a study in contrasts and challenges, not the least of which is that it’s a business started by a young woman in a country where women have traditionally been pushed firmly to the sidelines.

Rahmani, who left Afghanistan in 1992 and spent 15 years in Pakistan with her parents before moving to Canada for graduate studies, said the idea came to her when she visited her home country several years ago and found there was nothing for Afghans to do beyond occasionally going out to eat, going for walks or visiting family.

Rumor is that roaches leave a bldg being fumigated or demolished and go

fumigator knows ALWAYS to leave his card at neighboring bldgs and that

Reminds me of how Beverly Hills coyotes kill 500$ cats after a Malibu or
BelAir territory scorching wild fire 20 miles away. They just show up
somewhere else, reincarnated and eating! In this case, CEOS who eat new
corporations: A pal or two answered my 'research query' re this new bldg
leaping roach rumor

Answer from Doctor John: "Anita, you know what a Ponzi scheme is.  The
executive CEO's of Countrywide intentionally sold more subprime
mortgages than anyone else and therefore built up the numbers for the
company.  Then just before the bursting of Countrywide's bubble they
jumped ship, took their profits and ran.  Now all those same execs have
started a new company called "PennyMac".  They are now making big
profits with the housing market going down." Very similar to the MF
GLOBAL story yesterday and I can never read that corporation's name
without thinking MOFO GLOBAL.
From Soldier SHIJE in NYC, this Passage from a news story:
"As for the missing $6.6 billion, Bowen did not tell the Times whom he
believed might have made off with the tremendous sum of neatly packaged
blocks of $100 dollar bills." WOW the B word. That is the amount?  She
didn't send the URL. HERE IS what soldier Jim sent me:

Meet Jon Corzine.
He used to be C.E.O. of Goldman Sachs.
Then, he became a U.S. Senator and Governor
of the State of New Jersey.
A few years back, he ordered his State Trooper
chauffer to speed to a public event and caused
a car wreck. (was it fatal? Apparently NOT for his career.)
Now, apparently, he's wrecked one of the keystone
companies in the world of futures trading, MF Global.

In the process, he's gutted the entire futures
market, shutting down the activities of thousands
of traders who counted on MF Global (a 100+
year old company) to: a) clear their trades and
b) keep its sticky fingers off their trading capital.

If $800 million to $1 billion in segregated client funds were really
tapped by
the firm to prop up its
trading losses, we're in Bernie Madoff territory
in terms of blatant criminality.

Video: http://www.realecontv.com/page/5583.html

And the story he sent... which doesn't contain latest data of the 600
billion that disappeared from MOFO's treasury before it drowned.
-------------------
Former Goldman Sach's Exec./New Jersey Ex-Governor Doing Risky Business

Perhaps it would seem that new regulations and the oversight put in
place after the financial crash of just a few years ago are actually
working. MF Global had to file for bankruptcy protection.

News accounts show that the company was still actively engaged in risky
business similar to what brought down the housing market and the
financial collapse from which Americans are still trying to recover.

Jon Corzine, a former Goldman Sach's executive and Democratic Governor
of New Jersey, upseated by Republican Chris Christie started MF Global
in hopes of turning it into a "mini Goldman Sachs".
Today it all unraveled. More details can be found here:

news.yahoo.com/mf-global-seeks-sale-hires-restructuring-advisers-011723000.html

From the Cornfield, I have to ask is the system working? Will the Occupy
movements be happy to see the fall of this Wall Street insider? Or will
more liberal members try and excuse or claim Corzine was a DINO
(Democrat in Name Only), therefore doesn't count?

* Top 5 - "Kerala" attractions

The unique variety of attractions in Kerala ensures that this tropical south Indian state is high on the list of people's places to see in India.  Its unique culture and extremely picturesque setting, which contrasts with the fast-paced modern world, make Kerala the perfect destination for relaxing and rejuvenating., and of course romance!

Don't miss these top 5 Kerala attractions.

HOUSEBOATS -

deluxehouseboat1.jpg (500×375) 

At trip to Kerala wouldn't be complete without a trip along the Kerala backwaters on a houseboat. The lush green palm-fringed landscape, diverse wildlife, and houses and villages that line the backwaters make a journey along these waterways seem like a journey through another world. It's one of the most tranquil things you can do. The Kerala backwaters  are a memorable backdrops for a romantic Kerala getaway as well.

The backwaters is the rather unappealing name given to the picturesque network of lagoons, lakes, rivers, and canals that run inland from the coast of Kerala, from Cochin to Kollam (Quilon).

Traditionally, the backwaters are used by local people for transport, fishing, and agriculture. Annual snake boat races, held along the backwaters, also provide a great source of entertainment for the locals and tourists alike.

The lush green palm-fringed landscape, diverse wildlife, and houses and villages that line the backwaters make a journey along these waterways seem like a journey through another world. Don't miss it!

KERALA BACKWATERS -

One of the most tranquil and relaxing things you can do in India is hire a Kerala houseboat (called a kettuvallam) to explore the backwaters. Freshly cooked Indian food and chilled beer make the experience even more enjoyable. Those on a budget can go on one of the many half or full day backwater tourist cruises that are on offer. Alternatively, if you want to check out the backwaters very cheaply, it's possible to take one of the public boat services operated by the State Water Transport Department, such as the one between Alleppey and Kottayam. Travel time is two and a half hours, with numerous daily departures.

KERALA BACKWATER CRUISES -

The cheapest option for cruising the backwaters is on the Alleppey Tourism Tourism Development Corporation ferry between Alleppey and unattractive Kollam (eight hours), which departs at 10.30 a.m. daily from each town. The cost is around $5. (Some people will be interested to know that these boats make a stop at the Matha Amrithanandamayi Mission of the Hugging Mother to drop visitors off). Travel agents and hotels also organize boat tour packages, which start from around $12 with lunch. Many include a stop at a coir village. Some day trips also leave from Cochin, such as the recommended one organized by the Tourist Desk.

ABOUT TO HIRE A KERALA HOUSEBOAT -

The best place for hiring a tradtional thatched roof Kerala houseboat is Alleppey. You'll find hundreds of them there. From Alleppey, you'll be taken on an adventure through the various backwaters to places such as Kumarakom, Kottayam, and Alinkadavu (near Kollam). There's a wide range of destinations to choose from to suit all travel plans. Houseboats will usually slowly travel a distance of around 40-50 kilometers (25-30 miles) through the backwaters each day, so you'll get to see lots of different scenery.

DURATIONS -

You can hire a houseboat for as little as a day, or as long as a week! It's really up to you. Day trips run from around midday until 6 p.m. Most people go for overnight hire, which includes a serene sleep out in the middle of nowhere, in a lake or other similarly peaceful spot. The houseboats then return by 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. the next day. Two night houseboat hire is also popular. However, it can become boring for any length of time longer than this. 48 hours on a houseboat is definitely long enough to take in all the sights and re-charge your batteries.

COST -

The cost of houseboat hire greatly depends on the quality of the boat and the time of year. The minimum rate for overnight hire is around $80, however most people pay around $150 to hire a deluxe air conditioned houseboat for two. Rates easily go up to $250 for a luxury houseboat. Large family sized houseboats, with multiple bedrooms and living rooms, are also available for hire. Prices start from around $285 for one of these, for an overnight trip. All costs include freshly cooked food, made by an on-board cook, and drinks.

BEST TO HIRE A HOUSEBOAT -

Peak season is from November to January, when the weather is cooler and dry, but it's possible to hire a houseboat all year round. Some people find that the monsoon season has special appeal and choose to combine their houseboat hire with an ayurvedic treatment. March to May gets very hot and humid, so if you hire a houseboat during this time, an air conditioned one is definitely recommended.

ABOUT REPUTABLE KERALA HOUSEBOAT OPRATORS -

There are so many houseboats for hire at Alleppey that it's advisable not to book in advance. Instead head down to the jetty, inspect the boats there, and negotiate the best price. Unfortunately, pre-booking over the Internet will guarantee that you pay more. Even in peak season, you shouldn't have any trouble finding an available houseboat. However, to get an idea of prices and what's on offer, reputable companies that have a range of houseboats for hire include the opulent Spice Coast Cruises, Coco Houseboats, Lakes and Lagoons, Morning Mist Cruises, River and Country Cruises and Penguin Tourist Service.

AYURVEDA -

ayurveda.jpg (490×610)

Ayurveda is the medical side of yoga. It’s India’s traditional natural healing system, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Most places that offer ayurvedic treatment are located in Kerala, due to the climate and abundant supply of medicinal plants and herbs there. Whether it's a simple massage that you're after, or a treatment for a medical problem, Kerala is the place to get it.

Ayurveda is the medical side of yoga. It’s India’s traditional natural healing system, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years.

Ayurvedic resorts have become popular destinations for relaxation and rejuvenation in India, while ayurvedic hospitals cater for people seeking ayurvedic treatment for more serious health problems.

BENEFITS OF AYURVEDIC MEDICINE -

Ayurvedic medicine is particularly effective for metabolic, stress related, and chronic conditions. Treatments are also very helpful in relieving the effects of surgery and debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy. Other popular uses of ayurveda are for general rejuvenation and beauty care.

PROCESS FOR AYURVEDIC TREATMENT -

Ayurveda is a pranic system of medicine, which works to balance the body’s life energy -- refered to as the doshas. This is achieved by diet, different types of massage, pouring herbal liquid onto the body, and covering the body with herbal leaves and powders. You’ll be assessed by a qualified doctor and a treatment program tailor made to address the root of your problem. Generally, at least a couple of weeks are needed to complete a full course of ayurvedic treatment. However it’s also possible to get simple renewal treatments, such as ayurvedic massage, by themselves.

BEST TIME TO RECEIVE AYURVEDIC TREATMENT IN INDIA -

The rainy season, during the monsoon from June to September, is an ideal time for ayurvedic treatment because the atmosphere remains cool, moist, and dust free. This helps the body’s pores to open up, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT AVAILABLE IN INDIA -

Most places that offer ayurvedic treatment are located in the southern state of Kerala, due to the climate and abundant supply of medicinal plants and herbs there. You’ll also find quite a few ayurvedic centers in Goa and Karnataka. Ayurvedic treatments are available both at ayurvedic hospitals and ayurvedic resorts, as well as wellness centers and most five star hotels in these states. Another innovative option is to book an ayurvedic houseboat and explore the picturesque Kerala backwaters while receiving treatment.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT COST -

Ayurvedic hospitals are the cheapest option, and it’s possible to receive treatment at an ayurvedic hospital for around $1,000 per month excluding accommodation. Alternatively, the minimum price charged by resorts for ayurvedic treatment is between $60-100 per day. Seven day ayurvedic houseboat packages are available from around $1,500 for two people. Alternatively the whole houseboat (which sleeps 8 people) can by hired for $6,600, for seven days.

BEST PLACES TO RECEIVE AYURVEDIC TREATMENT IN INDIA -

You’ll find that there are two main types of ayurvedic treatment on offer in India -- general rejuvenation treatments catering to tourists and given by resorts in tourist areas, and intensive medical treatments administered by centers in geographic locations with the most suitable climate. Resorts are fine for anyone just wanting to get some pampering, a massage, or an overall feel for ayurveda. However, those who are serious about receiving quality ayurvedic treatment for medical reasons should go to a proper hospital.

BEST AYURVEDIC HOSPITALS IN INDIA -

Some of the top places to receive authentic ayurvedic treatment in India are the ayurvedic hospitals managed by the Arya Vaidya Sala charitable institution. The main one is in Kottakkal, in Kerala. There are others in Kochi, Delhi, and Kolkata (Calcutta). All types of accommodations are provided, from budget to luxury. Be sure to book well in advance though. If it's full, you can also try the Padinharkkara Ayurveda Hospital and Research Center. It's a budget place in the Palakkad district of Kerala.

BEST AYURVEDIC RESORTS IN INDIA -

These top Kerala Ayurvedic resorts are all well managed, and have an excellent range of properly administered Ayurvedic treatments. In Goa, the Ayurvedic Natural Health Centre near Calangute is good. In Karnataka, try Ayurvedagram or the Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre (IVAC). 

You’ll find that many of the places offer attractive discounts for stays during the monsoon season.

TEMPLE FESTIVALS -

elephantfestival.jpg (500×374)

Kerala temple festivals are elaborate and exotic, with the highlight being the elephants. The festivals feature large processions of bejeweled elephants, drummers and other musicians, colorful floats carrying gods and goddesses, and fireworks.

Kerala Temple festivals are elaborate and exotic. The main attraction at these festivals is the elephants.

The festivals form part of each temple's annual rituals. They're often a tribute to the temple's presiding god, who emerges from inside the temple once a year. Each festival has a different set of legends and myths behind it, depending on the temple god.

ABOUT KERALA TEMPLE FESTIVALS CELEBRATIONS -

From February to April, with each festival running for around 10 days.

At temples throughout the state of Kerala, in south India. The biggest and most colorful festival takes place at Vadakkumnathan temple in Thrissur and is called Thrissur Pooram. It happens during the Malayalam month of Medam (April/May). Another important temple festival not far from Thrissur is the Arattupuzha Pooram, which has around 60 elephants in attendance.

While everyday temple rituals are modest, temple festivals take place on a grand scale and are a highlight on the social calenders of Kerala's population. The festivals feature large processions of bejeweled elephants, drummers and other musicians, colorful floats carrying gods and goddesses, and fireworks.

RITUALS PERFORMED DURING THE KERALA TEMPLE FESTIVALS -

Detailed temple rituals are conducted by a tantri (the main temple priest) according to the temple god. Rituals involving the god statue in a Pallivetta (Royal Hunt) and Arattu (Holy Bath) are the focus of the festivals of some Kerala's major temples. During the Thrissur and Arattupuzha Poorams, gods from surroundings temples make their annual visit on elephant back to pay their respects to the presiding temple god.

EXPECTATIONS AT THE KERALA TEMPLE FESTIVALS -

Plenty of crowds, elephants, noise, and processions. Music is an important part of the temple celebrations and the frenetic percussionists, of which there are plenty, manage to whip up quite a sound. Cultural programs, including classical music and dance performances, are also on offer.

SNAKE BOAT RACES -

keralasnakeboat1.jpg (330×449)

For a few months every year during the monsoon season, Kerala comes alive with colorful snake boat races.

ABOUT SNAKE BOAT -

Fortunately there's no need for concern, as snake boats get their name from their shape rather than anything to do with live snakes! A snake boat (or chundan vallam) is actually a long traditional canoe style boat used by the people of the Kuttanadu region, in south India's state of Kerala. Typical snake boats are 100 to 120 feet long, and hold around 100 rowers. Each of the villages in the region has its own snake boat, which they take great pride in. Every year the villagers get together and race the boats along the lakes and rivers.

HISTORY BEHIND THE SNAKE BOAT RACES -

The battling snake boats of Kerala have over 400 years of history associated with them. Their story can be traced back to the kings of Alleppey (Alappuzha) and the surrounding areas, who used to fight with each other in boats along the canals. One king, who suffered heavy losses, got boat architects to build him a better vessel and the snake boat was born, with much success. An opposing king sent a spy to learn the secret of how to make theses boats but was unsuccessful as the subtleties of the design are very hard to pick up. These days boat races are held with much excitement during various festivals.

ABOUT SNAKE BOAT RACES -

Four main snake boat races (and as many as 15 minor ones) are held each year, in and around Alleppey.

·         The spectacular Nehru Trophy is held on Alleppey's Punnamda Lake.

·         The oldest and most popular race, the Champakkulam Moolam, is held along the river at Champakkulam (Changanassery), around 25 kilometers (15 miles) from Alleppey.

·         The Payippad Jalotsavam is held on Payippad Lake, 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Alleppey.

·         The Aranmula Boat Race is held along the Pampa River at Aranmula, near Chengannur, around 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Alleppey.

 

Snake boat races are mostly held from July to September, with the exact dates varying each year depending on the phase of the moon. The exception is the Nehru Trophy Boat Race, which is always held on the second Saturday of August. Snake boat races are the highlight of the Onam Festival in August/September, particularly the Aranmula Boat Race, which takes place mid way through the 10 day celebrations. Many other boat races are also held during the festival along the backwaters at Kottayam, Payippad, and Champakkulam. The Champakkulam Moolam is held in June/July, and the Payippad Jalotsavam is held in September.

ABOUT THE CHAMPAKKULAM MOOLAM SNAKE BOAT RACE -

The Champakkulam Moolam Boat Race marks the day that the idol of the Hindu God Krishna was installed in the Sree Krishna Temple in Ambalappuzha, not far from Alleppey. According to the legend, those carrying the idol stopped over in Champakkulam on the way. The next morning, thousands of colorful boats were assembled there to honor the event and escort the idol to the temple. This procession is re-enacted before the Champakkulam Moolam Boat Race takes place. It kicks off with exotic water floats, boats decorated with colorful parasols, and performing artists.

ABOUT THE NEHRU TROPHY SNAKE BOAT RACE -

The Nehru Trophy snake boat race is undoubtedly the most exciting race of the year. This race is held in memory of India's late Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru. An impromptu snake boat race was held in 1952 when the Prime Minister visited Alleppey. Apparently he was so impressed with the welcome and the race, he donated a trophy. The race has continued on ever since. It's a commercial event and you'll need to buy tickets from the tickets stands on the way. They cost less than $1 for for standing room on makeshift bamboo decks, up to $25 for VIP access. Do bring an umbrella in case of monsoon rain!

ABOUT THE ARANMULA SNAKE BOAT RACE -

The Aranmula Boat Race is a two day, predominantly religious, occasion. Rather than being a contest, it's more about retracing the time offerings were carried on snake boats to the Aranmula Parthasarthy Temple. This was done to protect the offerings from rivals from another village. The whole occasion is a celebration of the day Lord Krishna crossed the river. Position yourself on the banks of the Pampa River near the temple in Aranmula to witness the spectacular event. Traditionally dressed rowers, accompanied by groups of 25 singers, are cheered on by an exuberant crowd.

TRAVEL TO THE SNAKE BOAT RACES -

The closest airport to Alleppey is in Kochi, 85 kilometers (53 miles) away. Alleppey has its own railway station, located a short distance south west of the town center, and is readily accessible from Ernakulum (neach Kochi). The nearest railway station to Aranmula is Chengannur, 10 kilometers (6 miles) away. It's easy to get a train there from Ernakulum, and likewise all major trains between Kochi and Trivandrum stop at Chengannur. However, Chengannur is on a different line to Alleppey, so it's not possible to travel by train between the two places. A taxi is often the best solution to travel around the region.

HOTELS IN ALLEPPEY -

The Pozhiyoram Beach Resort is located on a quiet, untouched beach, not far from the center of Alleppey. Double beach view rooms are around $40, and you can get a cottage for $80. For something a little different try Pooppallys Heritage Homestay, in tranquil surroundings on the river bank. Bed and breakfast rooms cost around $80 per night for a double. Right in the heart of town, the Arcadia Regency Hotel is recommended. Double rooms start from $25. Alternatively, you can stay on a traditional houseboat and cruise along the canals. The Green Palace Health Resort offers packages.

BEACHES -

varkala.jpg (1200×900)

 

The attractive thing about the beaches of Kerala is that they're not as crowded or as developed as the beaches or more touristy areas in India, particularly Goa. Varkala beach and Marari beach are two of the most picturesque beaches in Kerala. Varkala beach is perfect for a romantic getaway in Kerala. If you're looking for action, head to Kovalam beach near Trivandrum.

Kovalam is Kerala's most famous beach town. Unlike quieter Varkala, it's well and truly been discovered and developed. The action congregates around two main beaches -- Hawa and Lighthouse -- with a walkway along the seafront. There's no shortage of hotels in Kovalam, but these are five of the best ones to suit all budgets. If you're looking to save money, forgo the beach and travel to Kovalam during the May-September monsoon season, and you'll be able to enjoy discounts of 50% or more on room rates. This even makes luxury hotels affordable.

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for various groups of animals.

 

Most of us are all familiar with

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/herd-of-cows.jpg A Herd of Cows,

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/flock-of-chickens.jpeg A Flock of Chickens,

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/school-of-fish.jpeg A School of Fish

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gaggle-of-geese.jpeg and a Gaggle of Geese.

 

Less widely known, however, are:

 

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/pride-of-lions.jpeg a Pride Of Lions,

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/murder-of-crows.jpg a Murder Of Crows

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/rooks-and-ravens.jpg (as well as their cousins the Rooks & Ravens),

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/exaltation-of-doevs.jpg an Exaltation of Doves

 

and, no doubt because they look so wise:

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/parliament-of-owls.jpg a Parliament of Owls.

 

Now for this lesson consider a group of Baboons.

 

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/baboons.jpg 

They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.... 

 

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

 

 

Believe it or not...   A CONGRESS!

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/congress1.jpg
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

 

IMO,  this pretty much explains what's coming out of Washington D.C., these days!

http://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/baboon.jpeghttp://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/baboom3.jpghttp://thefamily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/baboon2.jpg

 

A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!  (Ours, of course!)

Folks, Ya just can't make shit like this up.

Love, Appreciation and Gratitude are Keys to Fifth-Dimensional Realities By DL Zeta

In transitioning from one reality to another, it's important to complete with your present reality before moving to a new one. The process of completion involves holding in your mind the blessings you have received in your present reality. Express gratitude for all that has been: for the experiences, the learning opportunities and the sharing. Affirm to yourself everything happened perfectly and all is now complete.

Expressing gratitude for the reality you are leaving helps you to release even the hint of a nuance that you are seeking to "run away from" the reality you are presently experiencing. Understand since you contain it all -- each and every reality you have ever experienced – the idea that it is possible to "leave behind" any reality is illusory. If you are seeking to "get away from" a reality, you will carry thoughtforms about what you "don't want" into your new reality and begin re-creating them there.

Before shifting into a new reality, bring closure to any unresolved emotional energy and heal your experiences. This allows you to come into a place of gratitude. Healing begins when you bring the essence of this "old" reality into the bright light of your love, appreciation and gratitude.

When you are able to feel love and gratitude for all that has been, you are ready to begin energizing new probabilities. When you make the decision to begin this shift, affirm your decision by wording it in terms of what you want rather than what you no longer want. Release any thoughts of who you have been, who you no longer wish to be, and simply step into the identity of who you are now -- who you choose to be.

By strongly identifying with your self who is experiencing your chosen probable reality, you make begin to make this self’s reality your present-moment reality. By bringing your complete focus to your new reality, you are moving toward who you now choose to be, which naturally creates distance from any past realities and carries you into the full experience of a reality aligned with the new vision of a greatly expanded present and future.

Hi Shabnam,
I am sorry to read your plight and pains....
Children demand UNCONDITIONAL LOVE... and as a mother I am sure you are able to offer it to your son... I think many a time as fathers we are HARSH, AGGRESSIVE and too DEMANDING and DOMINATING over our adult children... Your husband has to take first step forward for re-concialllation .... A warm Hug.. and some Heart to Heart Talks will RESCUE the situation... God Bless your family..

                                                               Eternal_Divine_Love
 

GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS PRECIOUS
Different Religions - Different Methodologies - Destination is same
Learn Spirituality to recognize and approach GOD, whatever religion you belong to
All religions  agree  upon  this that through meditation, it is possible to connect to
GOD.   There  are  different   ways  in  different  religions  but  the aim is same. It is
respectable to call GOD, no matter you call HIM by any name viz GOD, JESUS, RAM,
BHAGWAN or ALLAH. 
Superior  to  religions  is  the  "LOVE OF GOD", which is the essence of  all religions
whereas the Light of God is an illuminating guide in the way.
According to the saying of Hazrat Imam Jafar Bin  Sadiq a.s.  "KNOWLEDGE IS POINT
WHICH HAS BEEN SPREADED BY SCHOLARS". And the point is LOVE.
The methods of Meditation is given below which is simple  and shortest and is the
practice of JUST 7 DAYS.  The people belonging to all religions can exercise it by the
name of their GODs, keeping in mind  "THE CREATOR" the one and only ONE,  who
created the whole universe and us.
Dear friends,
Try your luck by exercising the methods outlined  in  the Message just  for   7  days
and this will awaken  your "LATIF-E-QALB" (a spiritual entity), and it start chanting
out "Creators"  name (ALLAH HU) which will produce Divine energy(NOOR) in your
heart. This is not only for muslims, people of other religion can exercise,   keeping
in mind  "THE CREATOR" the one and only "ONE" who created the universe and us.
In  the  attached  file  message is also availble in URDU. If you feel to know further
please visit www.asiinternationals.com.
THE METHODS OF PRODUCING LIGHT(NOOR)
NO MATTER  ANY RELIGION - ALLAH(GOD) IS FOR EVERY ONE
In  prehistoric   times  stones   would  be  rubbed  together   to  make   fire.   Whereas  a  spark   can   also  be
produced  by rubbing two metals together. In a similar way electricity is made from water. Similarly by the
friction of the blood inside the  human  body,   in other words electric  energy  is  produced by the vibrating
heartbeat.   In every human being there is present, approximately one and a half volts of electricity due to
which the body is energetic.   As  the  heartbeat  slows  in old age,  this reduces  the  electricity in the body
and this in turn also causes a reduction of the energy level in the body.
Firstly,  the heartbeat  has  to be made vibrant  and pronounced. Some do this by dancing, some by sports
and exercise and some people try to do this by meditating and chanting the Name of God Allah.
When  the  heartbeat  becomes  vibrant   and   pronounced  then  by  chanting  the   name  of  "Allah"  try  to
synchronize it  with  every heartbeat.  Alternatively  try to  synchronize "Allah" with one heartbeat  and Hu
with the other. Some  time  by  placing your  hand  on the  heart  and   when  you  feel your heartbeat, again
try to synchronize the Name  "Allah" by chanting  it with  the rhythm of the heartbeat and imagine that the
Name "Allah" is entering the heart.
The chanting of" Allah Hu" is better and more effective but if anyone has an objection,or a fear of chanting
Hu, then instead of being deprived one should  solely use the name Allah,repetitively in the chanting. It is
beneficial  for people who chant  and practice  this  discipline  and who read mantras to physically remain
as clean as possible as the:
"disrespectful are unfulfilled and the respectful and fulfilled."
THE FIRST METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT:::::::::             Write     "Allah"     on    a    paper    in    black    ink    66
times  and   do   this  exervise   for  as long  as  you  wish on  a  daily  basis.   Soon thereafter,  the Word Allah
will   be   transported   from  the   paper  and  hover over  the eyes.  Then  with  one-pointed   concentration,
attempt to transport the word from the eyes to the heart.
THE SECOND METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT::::               Write    "Allah"    on      a      zero       watt       bulb,     in
yellow.  Whilst  you  are awake or  just before  sleep, concentrate and try to absorb it into the eyes. When
it appears on the  eyes then try to transport it to the heart.
THE THIRD METHOD OF PRODUCING LIGHT::::::::              This      method      is      for      those      people      who
have  perfect   spiritual  guides   and teachers   and who  due  to their  spiritual  connection  are  spiritually
assisted  by  them.  Sit  alone  and  imagine that   your index finger is a pen. Using your finger and with your
concentration,attempt  to write Allah on your  heart. Call upon your spiritual teacher (spiritually), so that
he too may, hold your finger, and write "Allah" on your heart.  Continue to do this exercise everyday,  until
you see Allah written on your heart.
"If  you are succeeded  and your Qalb starts chanting Allah Hu
it will chant 24 hours a day, even if you are sleeping, working
and  will  convert your prayers (Namaz) into  Namaz-e-Haqiqi
and you will enter into Divine Love."
Best of Luck.
Sarfaraz Ahmed.
