Suggestopedia

What is suggestopedia?

"Suggestopedia (in its new desuggestive development as well) is a science for developing different non-manipulative and non-hypnotic methods for teaching/learning of foreign languages and other subjects for every age-group on the level of reserve (potential, unused) capacities of the brain/mind. That means: at least three to five times faster, easier and deeper learning, inner freedom, increasing the motivation for learning, joyful learning and psycho-physiological well-being. The effectiveness as well as the benefits of the genuine method have been confirmed by the most prestigious international commissions and scientists. The genuine method has been also officially tested and highly evaluated from one international expert group of UNESCO that recommended the method to be applied all over the world." Lozanov

"Suggestopedia is one of the teaching methods developed by Bulgarian psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov based on the study of Suggestology. The method has been used in different fields of studies but mostly in the field of foreign language learning. Lozanov claimed that by using this method one can teach languages approximately three to five times as quickly as conventional methods.

The theory applied positive suggestion in teaching when it was developed in the 1970s. However, as improved, it has focused more on “desuggestive learning” and now is often called “desuggestopedia.” [1] Suggestopedia is the latest of the six major foreign-language teaching methods known to language teaching experts (the oldest being the grammar translation method.) The name of Suggestopedia is from the words “suggestion” and “pedagogy.” Wikipedia

Treating others the way we want to be treated ensures that this can help our soul to reach spiritual maturity. We must teat the other sentient being as though we are that being. What treatment can you expect from a worm you are about to step on, or a tree that is about to be cut down? Instead, view that other being as though you are it, and then treat it the way you expect to be treated from that standpoint. We lay out the events along our own journey to spiritual completeness through the practice of our humanness.
More and more, especially in the Western world, people are becoming dependant on others for one or another thing. A person may blame his therapist for the lack of progress, another may blame his lawmakers for the way their decisions have affected his life directly or indirectly. Another may blame his childhood and his parents by seeing them as the contributors to the flaws in his character today. A criminal may blame the justice system for not providing enough comfort while in prison; the list goes on. In fact, we are responsible for all of our emotions, thoughts and behaviors.

The Anointed Ones
Who are the Anointed Ones?


This writing was transmitted through channeling information that came from those who are called the Light Bearers. The two Light Bearers who have identified themselves as Ancethemus and Theosophus are just two out of many who transmitted this so that Man knows His origin. All of this was possible through the Law of ONE!


Those are the Light Bearers!
They bear witness of the light in and the light out. The light everywhere.
There is always light in the midst of darkness because the two go together but some have more light than others.
This determines how Bright they will shine and through their shining they can see more and do more and experience more.

Can the light be extinguished?

The light can never be extinguished only it can shine bright or dim.
It is the flame that never burns out. It is the flame that lights up the whole world and it is the flame that lights up a small room. It can do ALL of that!

How can the light shine bright?
The light can shine bright if more oil is added to the lamp.
What is the lamp?
It is the core of the being. The wick!
What is the oil?
It is the sea of infinity brightness and of Life.

How is it that some shine brighter while others not?
There are lamps of different quality. Some contain more some less oil.
Who are the anointed ones?
The anointed ones are those whose flame is not contained in the lamp but set forth and it lights up other’s paths. They are the Light Bearers. They come and they got and will continue to do so until you learn how to light up your own lamp and need nothing after that to sustain its flame.
Their flame does not burn out. Yours does because of not knowing how to be a good light keeper. A good light keeper carries his lamp in all conditions and it never burns out. A novice light keeper is always afraid of when his oil will burn out and is afraid of the dark after that. The good light keeper knows of no darkness because He dwells in Light.
You’ve seen many good Light Keepers but you did not take some of their flame to light up your oil lamps. You rely on that which burns out. You expect it to burn out and that is when you error for a true oil lamp does not burn out ever.
All are anointed -
Only few know how to keep the lamp constantly burning and illuminating the darkness.
What is the oil?
The substance of life.
Where is to b found?
Everywhere.
How does it burn?
Through effortless action.
Can it be extinguished?
Never.
How come some have their oil lamps burn brighter than others?
Through THE CAUSE?
What is the cause?
Their Life!
Why is it necessary for the lamp to burn bright?
In order to see light as it is1 an eye opener and nothing more.
What will one see then?
Everything and that there is no darkness. One will see everything and nothing at the same time. There is no real time!
Can a person have their light transmitted to another person?
No!
They can only transmit the initial spark if it is meant to be and nothing more.
Each carries their own lamp, their own flame, their own light!
Where does the light come from?
From the ONE!
Is one better than another if his light is not burning brighter?
No! There is no such thing as differentiation on the real level. Only on the superficial which people so often cling to.
ALL Flame is from the One primordial Fire!
Each being decides what to do with their lamp. Some carry it some forget that they have it and stumble in the dark.
What is the dark?
The darkness of the mind unilluminated.

Fire is the Life! Everything is on fire.
How so?
It is always burning never seizing. ONE lit fire spreads everywhere and touches everything and from that fire more fires ignite and continue to burn but they do not burn out and they do not destroy anything. Those are the pure Silver Fires.
Fires are brighter to spot in the darkness. When there is bright light it appears as though they are not as bright. But they are burning even now

Purifying the Heart Chakra part III

A man covets in his heart, speaks out from his heart, and it is in his heart that he keeps his feelings of the past and the present. The heart chakra is like a bouncing ball. It attracts to itself those feelings which it sends out. This chakra assists us in expressing our self emotionally and creatively. When it functions without any obstructions such as negative emotions or unhealthy attachments, it helps us create things that are beneficial to others such as art, literature, music, architecture and other self expressive mediums in the physical world. On an astral level, it allows us to be compassionate, altruistic, loving and peace creating.
When energy does not flow freely within the heart chakra, one can remain stuck in a state of anger, fear, resentment, hatred and destructive behavior. What consume the person’s existence are those things which he harbors in his heart. In order to move into an abundant life full of love and acceptance, the heart chakra needs to be purified. We must take responsibility for our feelings and then consciously decide to take charge of our life and actions. After the decision is made, we need to initiate the purification process.
First, we will have to examine and take into account what has caused us to experience such negative feelings. If we are able to point to a specific person or an event in this life, we will need to let go of the blame. Second, we will have to send out thoughts and feelings of forgiveness to that person and allow our self to let go of the negativity.
Next, e will need to start being aware of our responses when something in a given moment reminds us of those past wounds. When this happens, we have to consciously strive to send out thoughts of loving kindness and understand that our experiences are lessons of the heart and nothing more. We must not become attached to our feelings but rather stay objective and acknowledge that everything in life is a passing phenomenon from our anger to our laughter.
When we purify our heart chakra and welcome others in, we are in return ready to receive their gifts of love, peace, and mutual understanding. The expression “two hearts beating as one” refers to the synchronistic life that we share with others. As we nourish our hearts, we extend our love to all around us.
The problems in our society today comes up as a result of our over identification with our self and what we perceive as ours such as children, family, community, heritage, and earthly possessions. The heart is like a vessel. In it, we collect feelings as well as pour our feelings out. When the heart chakra itself is blocked, this exchange becomes hundred. The more the chakra is blocked, the more difficulty we have in expressing ourselves in a healthy way. Just like muddy waters have a residue on the bottom; our heart chakra is tarnished by anger, resentment, hatred, fear and envy.
The emotions of our heart can lift us to the highest grounds and plunge us to the lowest depths. When our hart chakra is open it carries us on its wings to ecstasy and liberation. When it is blocked, it drops our psyche to the darkest self made purgatory. The heart is our doorway to the self and to others. It assists us on our journey in the physical world as well as the emotional one. How do you purify and heal a wounded heart? How do you pick up where you have left off?
One step at a time, filling oneself with awareness and intent to forgive, accept, learn and just continue to move on and share your gifts with others.
Take a moment to reflect from the bottom of your heart how you can allow the purification of your heart chakra to begin starting today.
What has prevented you thus far from giving a dear voice to your heart? It is not uncommon for us to become entangled in the dramas of our mind with which we are bombarded constantly. We then start to have less and less time and willingness to listen to the desires of our heart. It is easier to become angry or hateful because often those feelings are in reaction to outside influence in our life. It seems like it takes more on our part to forgive and love. At times our heart feels empty. You may wonder why? Because we have missed to fill it up with those feelings which are fulfilling on an emotional and spiritual level.

Healing Offering

I do not know how to begin...
I have meditated and focused on the purposed of my life....like many other.
On numerous occasions I had the messaged related to me by angels and spiritual guides that I need to heal with my hands. I do believe in energy healing/Reiki and even in childhood I tried to place my hands on my grandfather to help with his headaches.
It is just not exactly the most logical thing to say to someone "Hey the angels tell me to heal with my hands..." Nope, I am not schizophrenic....nope I am not on any drugs, nope I am not crazy. Yet, this society of ours is quick to shun you. I also believe in "distance healing" since I do not believe that physical distance is an obstacle just a three dimensional illusion. So, here I offer you some positive energy with my intent (with the disclaimer that if you're physically ill you should consult with your doctor or another medically trained and licensed physician) Mine is an offering of positive spiritual energy from one being to another. Take a moment to meditate on a positive radian energy coming from me to you and many blessings.
