“Behind the door in your dreams is the dark chaos of your own soul, a reminder of what we are ‘all’ capable of if left unchecked, it is the opposing force to the light of harmony, and the tension between the two creates the energy that drives ‘all sentient life’ forward.”
I have been having these ‘night visitations’ three or four times a year for as long as I can remember. Each time waking up bathed in sweat, crying in terror and feeling lucky I survived another attack from this evil, malevolent entity. His answer brings a profound sense of relief as the realisation settles in that it was simply me, frightening myself, nothing more, nothing less… I have no more questions now, I just want to go home.
“Can this end now please” I ask.
“Yes, but I have one last thing to share with you…”
He turns, looks directly at me, and the universe itself seems to hold its breath before he finally speaks.
“Consider the importance of the ‘things you ask for’, are they the things you actually want?”
“Consider the importance of the ‘things you want’, for are they the things you actually need?”
“Finally, consider the importance of ‘what you actually need’, for this is where you will find true, and lasting happiness…”
Even if all of this is just a crazy dream and I wake up and the memories slowly fade away like most of them do. Right here, right now, I can’t help but have a deep feeling of empathy with this ‘angel’ before me… “Lucifer, before this ends I’d like to say… I’d like to say thank you.” I’m not sure if its my imagination, but he ‘almost’ seems to smile as everything before me slowly disappears like mist, revealing what I used to consider to be ‘the real world’ behind it…
Anna stirs from her sleep, looks at me and says “You had that dream again?…”

“There are three elements a soul can use to help guide the development of harmony within itself and its environment. The first is ‘empathy’ with others and their needs. The second is ‘willingness’ to adapt to each unique situation. The third is ‘motivation’ in continually working to develop and improve itself. These ‘key elements’ are in plain sight, for ‘all souls’ to see if they look with uncluttered thoughts and an open heart, but in order to reap the ‘greatest rewards’ from their use, a ‘soul’ needs to understand they must be applied with simplicity of thought, interpretation and action.”
I only have one last question left. I’ve been asking it most of my life, but now I actually have the opportunity to hear the answer, my fear of his reply makes me hesitant to ask…
- Apr 02, 12
“A guide will come at the moment of transition, when a soul is balanced between mortality and death. For most, this will take the form of a loved one. Those at the gates of ‘Oblivion’ will be taken by what humanity call the ‘Grim Reaper’ or as you now know it, a ‘Feeder’. But there is a much greater truth to be found within your question, and it must be understood that death has two paths. For those moving towards harmony, it is simply the transition of an ‘eternal soul’ into pure energy. Another step closer to god. For those about to enter Hell, it means they no longer have the capacity the evolve and ‘death’ truly is, the end.”

“All souls are ‘born gifted’ with the same capacity to learn, develop, realise their own potential, and ultimately ‘transcend’, but in answer to your question, yes, even though the ‘mortal vessel’ is the same, the souls contain within are all at different levels of development.”
As persuasive as his answers are the concept of reincarnation makes me uncomfortable and is not something I want to deal with right now. I need to change this line of thought…
- Mar 07, 12
“For a soul to evolve to its highest potential it must be given the opportunity to experience, learn and develop to its fullest ability. ‘flesh and blood’ is the vessel which allows it to repeatedly enter into ‘mortality’, and ‘death’ is the process of gradual transformation towards an evolutionary leap, where the body can longer contain the essence of the soul and it returns to its original state of ‘pure energy’, but now with a highly developed ‘character and intelligence’ as it continues on its journey towards ‘transcendence’, towards ‘god’.”
- Jan 31, 12
“Every soul carries with it the memories and characteristics developed during its ‘own’ mortalities and to a lesser extent, the characteristics of its various ‘mortal parents’ throughout its journey on the ‘Path of Souls’. These ‘experiences’ are what feed the growth and development of its evolution, and the knowledge it acquires on the journey is never lost. It is only a question of how much a soul can ‘subconsciously’ remember in each mortal cycle. The more ‘harmonic’ the soul, the greater its ability to use the skills developed in previous cycles.”
His words remind me of an experiment I’d read about, where birds were hatched in isolation to see how much knowledge, if any, they were born with. It was found ‘all of them’ knew the songs that were unique to their species, and amazingly, the variations ‘specific’ to the section of the field they were taken from. After reading this it made me wonder… If the birds can be born with a song, why can’t we?
But in spite of ‘everything’ he’s shown me, the concept of ‘reincarnation’ is such a fundamental shift in my view on existence I’m struggling to come to terms with it. I’ve never agreed with ‘any faiths’ belief they are right and everyone else is wrong, and even armed with the knowledge that ‘I myself’ have been subjected to years of religious indoctrination, it’s still a battle for me to accept anything that conflicts or questions the ‘faith’ I was born into The ‘us’ and ‘them’ mentality is very hard to lose once it’s taken root… My questioning of this makes me question ‘everything’ that happening, even my own sanity. The big problem here is it all feels ‘so damn real’. I take ‘another’ deep breath before continuing… “Ok…”
- Jan 21, 12
I ask… “What happens to make people like this?”
“Extreme emotion, be it positive or negative ‘needs to be experience’ to allow souls to define and develop themselves. Those who lack the skills or willingness to cultivate a positive life experience turn to the destructive power of extreme negative emotional experiences to satisfy this need. Once this happens, the only way to justify the suffering ‘they’ inflict on others is by transferring the blame away from themselves. The circle of lies is cold comfort, but comfort non the less.
- Jan 15, 12
He finally stirs from his silence and replies “I am the one who bears witness. I am the one who shows souls the truth of their decisions, and through these actions, I am the one who becomes the ‘final hope’ for those with ‘no hope’. Their last chance for change.”
‘The ‘final’ hope for those with no hope’, I think I understand now but honestly don’t know whether to feel admiration or pity for his sacrifice… “Do many change once they have seen the truth” I ask.
“The stronger the delusion, the less chance for change, the closer to Oblivion.”
‘But isn’t this a description of madness?”
“Acts of madness ‘no matter how grotesque’ are made innocently and without malice. Acts of evil, justified and driven by ‘self delusion’ are made by rational, calculating intelligence.”

Guidelines on instructing students with deafness:
1) Make sure you are clearly visible by everyone when you give instructions.
2) Keep your instructions clear, precise, short and at a tempo that is easy to follow.
3) Demonstrate the technique/skill you are teaching. Show it at the correct speed and then again at a slow speed, where movement can easily be broken down so that students can interpret and do this themselves.
4) If using an interpreter, allow them time to translate for you but always talk directly to the students as they might be able to lip read.
5) Move around the class to check individual progress and make regular eye contact with each student throughout the duration of the class.
6) Learn some basic sign language – I‟ve found Makaton is a really good intro into this.
7) Before & after the class ensure that you have prepared and distributed an information leaflet outlining the main learning for the class and highlight classes in the local area they could attend if they wish to continue with their learning.

Staying hydrated is particularly important during exercise. Adequate fluid intake is essential to comfort, performance and safety. The longer and more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink the right kind of fluids.
Dehydration Decreases Performance
Studies have found that athletes who lose as little as two percent of their body weight through sweating has a drop in blood volume which causes the heart to work harder to circulate blood. A drop in blood volume may also lead to muscle cramps, dizziness, fatigue and heat illness including:
Heat Exhaustion
Heat StrokeCommon Causes of Dehydration In Athletes
Inadequate fluid intake
Excessive sweating
Failure to replace fluid losses during and after exercise
Exercising in dry, hot weather
Drinking only when thirstyHydration Needs for Athletes
Because there is wide variability in sweat rates, losses and hydration levels of individuals, it is nearly impossible to provide specific recommendations or guidelines about the type or amount of fluids athletes should consume.Finding the right amount of fluid to drink depends upon a variety of individual factors including the length and intensity of exercise and other individual differences. There are, however, two simple methods of estimating adequate hydration:
Monitoring urine volume output and color.
A large amount of light colored, diluted urine probably means you are hydrated; dark colored, concentrated urine probably means you are dehydrated.Weighing yourself before and after exercise.
Any weight lost is likely from fluid, so try to drink enough to replenish those losses. Any weight gain could mean you are drinking more than you need.Temperature
Exercising in the heat increases you fluid losses through sweating and exercise in the cold can impair you ability to recognize fluid losses and increase fluid lost through respiration. In both cases it is important to hydrate.
Sweating. Some athletes sweat more than others. If you sweat a lot you are at greater risk for dehydration. Again, weigh yourself before and after exercise to judge sweat loss.Sports Drinks?
Sports drinks can be helpful to athletes who are exercising at a high intensity for 60 minutes or more. Fluids supplying 60 to 100 calories per 8 ounces helps to supply the needed calories required for continuous performance. It’s really not necessary to replace losses of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes during exercise since you’re unlikely to deplete your body’s stores of these minerals during normal training. If, however, you find yourself exercising in extreme conditions over 3 or 5 hours (a marathon, Ironman or ultramarathon, for example) you may likely want to add a complex sports drink with electrolytes.General Guidelines for Fluid Needs During Exercise
While specific fluid recommendations aren’t possible due to individual variability, most athletes can use the following guidelines as a starting point, and modify their fluid needs accordingly.Hydration Before Exercise
Drink about 15-20 fl oz, 2-3 hours before exercise
Drink 8-10 fl oz 10-15 min before exerciseHydration During Exercise
Drink 8-10 fl oz every 10-15 min during exercise
If exercising longer than 90 minutes, drink 8-10 fl oz of a sports drink (with no more than 8 percent carbohydrate) every 15 – 30 minutes.Hydration After Exercise
Weigh yourself before and after exercise and replace fluid losses.
Drink 20-24 fl oz water for every 1 lb lost.
Consume a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein within the 2 hours after exercise to replenish glycogen stores.
