The Tourist Dream - Maasai Mara

The home of adventure: - African Home Adventure Kenya and Tanzania, still believes that only the best is good enough. It's this strong concept that results to the achievement of Africa Home adventure dreams not only in Masai mara, but also in other Kenya National parks and game reserves. The secret behind our fame and popularity with Masai mara lies greatly in our understanding of the uniqueness of this reserve and the services we render to our dear clients. We take our clients to explore the park while still afresh after a 5 minutes drive from our campsite. This enables us cover this relatively small sized game reserve in sections at a convenient pace depe918nding on the number of days you've chosen to take. Our hospitable and professional drivers/guides never get tired of "game-driving":-driving up and down in the reserve in search of wildlife.

Masai Mara offers wonderful scenery and an abundance of big game: - the only park perhaps left in Kenya where tourists and budget travelers can view animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago. It accommodates the largest population of lions. Watching up to one and a half million of wildebeest migrating from Serengeti in Tanzania is a mind-blowing experience. This huge mass of animals remain on the productive Mara grasslands until October or November, and then as the storm clouds gather in the south, they return to their breeding grounds which by the time they arrive, are once again green and lush, This is the Serengeti plain.

Seeing is believing! You are always most welcome to book a trip to Masai mara at your convenient time of the year with African Home Adventure Kenya and Tanzania Safaris, your only pocket friendly tour operator. Kindly do feel free to contact The African Home Adventure team for a booking procedure.

Kind regards.

Dream Blogging

Blog about dreams. We all have dreams. That place we go to when we are not in deep sleep, the cross-over place of almost sleeping brings us into another dimension. We spend almost a third of our lives asleep, this is a known fact. What happens to our imagination when we slumber, that nocturnal time when consciousness is shut down?

Sleep takes us on a mystical journey of dreams where people and places collide. What do our dreams tell us? Our task is to listen. What in our waking world causes us to ask questions? Dreams give us the answers. The answers are not orderly. The answers do not come in a structured response.

Dead Aunt Mary invites us to dinner with seven people we've never met and the fare is water and dried prunes. What do we make of this supper party? How does a dream with dead Aunt Mary give us answers?

The ancients believed in dreams. Wars were fought, events foretold and Kings were born out of dreams.

Perhaps Aunt Mary was a person we trusted; maybe she had all the answers. I wrote a novel, my first, based solely on a dream. The seed of that story was planted with my eyes closed. Dreams have a way of opening our minds to many possibilities. How do we feel after a significant dream? What emotion is present? Does our ego over ride the interpretation of a dream? All of these questions arise.

I am not blogging about dreams with the intention of suggesting that we make life decisions based on them, but more realistically, that we give respect to dreams. Honor the nights we find our self at the dinner table of a long demised relative who has invited a hod8E4ge-podge of outsiders. Perhaps sitting down to dinner with the unknown would force me, or any of us, to make conversation, to pay attention, to be on our best behavior, and to garner wisdom.

Seven is a significant number; it heralds a cycle which acknowledges lessons learned. Aunt Mary epitomizes someone we felt comfortable with and it would not matter how many strangers there were at her table. Having Aunt Mary as hostess makes it all okay. Take this into real life and perhaps something we fear is not as ominous as we think. Someone we trust is guiding us and we have to learn to make peace with the outcome, find our place in terra incognita.

A dream blog can be a wake up call. Set our alarm for tomorrow and we may find our self caught in a "ground hog day" scenario. Do it over until you get it right. This may never happen on the realistic plane but could recur in dream after dream until we recognize that we must face a fear, or an ingrained habit of denial that has dogged our heels. Whatever it is, dreams are our friends disguised in vignettes and characters that seem confused with our recent activities.

We can blog about our dreams and view them as a response to our souls need for nurturing. Feed me the soul asks...your dreams will tell you how and when.

Blog what you see, hear and think...

Talk later...

Dream Therapy - Magical Treatment for Depression

You must be tired of all the treatments and suggestions to cure your depression because none of them produce positive results for you, and you are tired of spending money and hoping, but being deceived and frustrated in the end.

You only need to start paying attention to your dreams and writing them down. They are a source of psychotherapy and knowledge that can not only save you from depression, suicidal tendency and many other mental illnesses but also transform you into a wise, balanced and happy person. This is free psychotherapy from the wise and saintly unconscious mind that produces your dreams to protect you from the harmful content of your anti-conscience.

Your dreams have a magical function, since they inform and guide you in a symbolic manner, so that the anti-conscience does not understand them; otherwise, it would distort their meaning and prevent you from learning the directions of the unconscious that tries to save your conscience and help you develop it.

You can only really understand 5B4how dream therapy works when you have written a few dreams and you start translating their meaning and relating them, since their messages are provided in a sequence. Now my words are empty, and you are only trying to imagine what you completely ignore.

First of all, when you start caring for your dreams, you'll discover that the unconscious answers your questions in your dreams, and you feel supported instead of alone like you are now. This will immensely help you! The unconscious is saintly and tells you only the truth. This is something you have never seen in your life because humans are liars. Only the wise and saintly unconscious that has no ego and knows everything about you, your life and the universe, can tell you the real truth, without distortions.

Do you know what it means to have a private doctor caring for you and trying to help you overcome your depression? It is fantastic!

I can relate many cases about how dream interpretation was a great relief for many people. For example, an extremely thin girl had to be surgically operated but was cured through dream interpretation within a period of 7 months. Surprisingly, by interpreting her dreams, the disease disappeared and her body started functioning normally again.

People who have lost someone they loved receive special support from the unconscious that sends them infinite dreams about the person they loved and explanations about the reason for their de5B4ath.

In situations of pain and despair, many people received immense support by dream interpretation according to my version of Carl Jung's method.

Some people would keep their notebook full of dreams near them daily, and we would talk through the phone at least daily so that I interpreted their dreams for them, and even when I visited or met them somewhere, they would relate their dreams to me. Only this occupation gave them some hope and brought a little bit of excitement in their grey lives, while they were immersed on depression and had no courage to go on.

Think about how they felt when they started to understand all their mistakes and why their lives turned out this way. Think about how they felt when they discovered the solutions to their basic problems!

The scientific method of dream interpretation is really a blessing! The more you care for your dreams, the more you learn and become wiser.

You understand the reasons of your pain and what you have to do in order to find peace and happiness. This is really a magical solution that nobody could have imagined possible! However, the truth is that the wise unconscious that produces our dreams is the unique doctor that is so perfect that it never fails!

The unconscious is an organ directed by God who is a superior conscience, which is much more evolved than the common conscience. This is why you can trust the guidance you receive in your dreams and f5AEollow it precisely without fear. You won't be deceived, frustrated or mislead; on the contrary, you can be sure that you will find relief and that your mental health is guaranteed.

Prevent Depression and Craziness through the scientific method of Dream Interpretation discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by Christina Sponias, a writer who continued Jung's research in the unknown region of the human psychic sphere.

Beating Depression and Craziness

A Waking Dream, Through History - Part 3

This is Part 3, in an on-going look into the History and Meaning of Dreams.

With the increase of printed books in Europe from the 15th Century, onward, dream dictionaries proliferated, mostly based on the works of Artemidorus. Despite the naivety, such dictionaries filled a useful role in taking dream interpretation away from the seers and priests and placing it in the hands of the individual. Even though scientific rationalists of the 18th Century believed that dreams were of little consequence, and that their interpretation was a form of primitive superstition, at a popular level the interest in dreams gathered strength.

Dreams began to feature as prominent themes in literature and art, as the new Romanticism, led by visionaries such as William Blake and Goethe, rejected the claims of the rationalists and placed new emphasis on the importance of the individual and the creative power of the imagination.

For Freud the unconscious was primarily the seat of desires and impulses, mostly of a sexual nature, that are repressed by the conscious mind. He believed most dreams are simple wish- fulfillments, or expressions of repressed ideas that force their way into our consciousness when our egos relax control during sleep. Transformed into dream images and symbols, our deepest urges lose immediacy and so become more easily manageable.

The greatest breakthrough in dream research in the 2nd half of the century was the discovery in 1953 of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, when the most vivid episodes of dreaming occur. By waking dreamers up during REM periods, dream recall is greatly enhanced, enabling us to work more accurately with the images, symbols, and other psychic events that punctuate our sleep. A lot of work remains to be done before we can construct a fully-fledged science of dreaming. In the meantime, through dream workshops and other forms of analysis, we are building up a corpus of case studies that will form an invaluable body of evidence for the dream scientists of the future.

Normally we dream for about one-fifth of the time were asleep. Most of our 'big' dreams come to narratives, symbols and detailed dream scenery. As we fall asleep and in the moments before we wake up, we experience the fleeting images of hypnogogic, (dreams that precede sleep) and hypnopompic, (dreams that come just as we are waking).

We dream at other phases of the night as well, and although some of the dreams are indistinguishable from REM dreams, most are fragmentary, less meaningful, less vivid, rarely remembered upon waking.

Further research of dreams revealed four distinct levels or stages of sleep, each characterized by particular physiological activities and brain rhythms. During the first fifteen minutes, the sleeper descends progressively through each of these stages, before spending about one hour in stage four, the deepest level, when the body is at its most relax576ed and brain rhythms are at their slowest. After this, an ascent back up to stage one is often accompanied by a change in sleeping posture, and it is at this point that the first REM period of sleep begins, usually lasting about ten minutes. Therefore, the process of descent and ascent is repeated between four and seven times during the night, though sleep rarely again reaches a state as deep as stage four. Each REM episode becomes progressively longer, as does the frequency and rapidity of eye movements and the final REM period can last as long as forty minutes.

We will take a deeper look into these four stages in Part 4 and also discuss how our brain processes the stimuli that dreaming provokes. How does our body keep from acting out our dreams? Join me in Part 4 to find out.

Power of Force

Are You Using Power or Force?
By: Rev. Eleanor Richard




What if you could know, with a "yes" or "no" answer, the real truth about any person, news event, presidential candidate, book, or anything else instantly? Since bodies never lie, scientists and researchers are now tapping into that truth using "Touch for Health" methods and finding fantastic results. Read Dr. David Hawkins, Power vs. Force and continue to be amazed...If you apply this knowledge, it will change your life.

Are you aware of the levels of consciousness of all life forms, including your own? If you put spiritual growth high on your priority list, you know that you continue to progress, and that humanity in general is gradually climbing the ladder of consciousness levels, however slowly.

These levels, a “Map of Consciousness” put forth by Dr. David Hawkins are calibrated to show how much or how little we add to the creativity of society, or take from it. Using extensively tested scientific research, we find that on a scale of 1-1000, level 200 is the breaking point. Above that, we add to truth, to our world. Below it, we take from others, lowering the overall human consciousness.

There is an easy way to see the difference. Power over others, the power of wealth, fame, etc, is calibrated below 200. This energy we shall call Force, since we are usually, someone is always, forcing people or animals to do it their way, pay taxes, follow the laws, stop at red lights, etc.

Force always has an opposite. If we make a law, someone’s always against it. Physical force demands retaliation. An argument has two sides, right vs. wrong, “us and them” consciousness. As a society grows in awareness that force may be necessary at times, but it doesn’t add to the creative, productive consciousness of the world. There is a better way.

Power, on the other hand, is inner wisdom. It never has an opposite. It embraces the oneness of us all. We begin to accept, to allow others to have their views, and to create the life we want. Power, or wisdom, is always present. We can use it to make decisions, to express love and joy wherever we are, and to attract to us those of a similar consciousness.

Here’s the test: Do you tell others what to do? Do you demand a vote recount, an insistence that others should do it your way? That is force. Or do you allow others to choose their beliefs and actions, even to the point of drug or alcohol abuse? Do you see the harmony in accepting all life forms to follow their natural way, even to extinction? You are using power, in that case, to create harmony and peace in your own life, and thus in the planet’s.

What is the Commandment Regarding Marriage and Divorce?

Great multitudes of people continued to follow after Jesus as he departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan. As the multitudes gathered with Jesus, he healed them of all their sicknesses. Then came the Pharisees tempting Jesus again and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Jesus answered saying have you not read that he that made them at the beginning made them male and female and for this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will cling to his wife making them the two as one flesh? What God joins together no man or woman should pull apart.

The Pharisees (this group of people must have been extremely devious) then said Moses commanded us to draw up a writing of divorcement and just put her away. Why did Moses say this?

Jesus answered the Pharisees and said Moses told you that because of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning this was not the case. Whoever puts away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery and whoever marries her that is put away commits adultery.

The disciples spoke to Jesus saying if the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. I read this line to mean it is not a good thing to divorce a wife and marry another woman, and it is not a good thing to marry the woman who has been divorced by her husband, and visa versa.

There is an exception to this rule, which is in the case of fornication. I read this to mean for these people and all generations after these people there is a way out of marriage if a partner commits fornication. The innocent person who has been made free of the marriage has the right to remarry without committing sin. The fornicator of this marriage is not eligible to remarry. This exception only frees the innocent partner. The guilty partner, as to what these sayings mean, is now destined for life to remain alone or to re-marry the original woman (if she desires this). The same applies if the woman is the fornicator against her husband. This is the case if these people desire greater the prize of eternal life.

The book of laws and rules is just that – a book of instructions. Men and women always have the free will and a mind able to decide how they want to proceed in their lives.

Chances are there will be no great lightning bolts or a sudden boom of thunder if men and women choose the bliss for a season in this present life over bliss forevermore in heaven.

However, a stern “depart from me, I never knew you, you that worked iniquity,” will be the reply from Jesus on the great judgment day. From there, I believe is a separation from all those who decided to work toward an eternal bliss forevermore in heaven. The book of instruction I read says that place is in outer darkness, where the fire is quenched not, and where there will be gnashing upon each others teeth, wailing, screaming, and crying as the flames roll on and on forevermore.

Hell has enlarged itself and continues to do so because there are so many destined to go there. Remember the straight and narrow road I spoke of in another article. This road is one that will be traveled by very few people. There will be no long lines and crowds in heaven. And if this be the case for what seems to be a minor infraction to many people, where in this world will the true ungodly people be? In this same place!

I suppose readers know by now, I believe in a hell fire to be as real as heaven.

What if both partners commit fornication? In that case, I think they are both at liberty to divorce each other, but neither is at liberty to get married again. They must stay alone if they desire to receive an eternal life, because to marry another would cause the sin of adultery.

In the case where a woman marries a man who has been divorced because of an act or acts of fornication commits the sin of adultery or the other way around with a man marrying a woman who committed fornication and was divorced because of this, the spouse of that type of person now is guilty of adultery. I truly believe there is no sin in these cases if intimacy never takes place, however, that is not likely to be. It just would only make sense to speculate a man and woman in these situations could genuinely love each other and be the best of friends, and live together in the same household without intimacy and still be able to work out a salvation of eternal life. However, as Jesus spoke in those days, very few people will be able to accept these sayings.

These sayings are very difficult for most men and women to accept. Jesus said he knew this would be difficult for most men and women, but save those who can abide by these sayings. I take this to mean……this is how it is. If you desire to earn an eternal life, this is how it is. If you don’t care, and you cannot contain yourself, meaning you must have a woman or you must have a man intimately, then tough luck, you won’t be seeing God the Father in heaven after while. But for a season while you are alive, you will have your choice of living in bliss and intimacy. So really, it is just a matter of what is most important to each person. We cannot have it both ways. It is totally each person’s decision. Jesus does not make anyone do anything! If you will listen to him, and now the Holy Ghost he sent for our comfort and teaching, the Holy Ghost will gently guide men and women into all the truths of God, and even the deep, deep things of God the Holy Ghost can reveal. That is only though if you “desire” it to be so.

Jesus finishes this talk by saying there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it let him receive it. So again, here, Jesus is saying, if you are able to do as I have commanded you to do, press onward toward the greater prize and the higher calling, which is eternal life and eternal bliss that will last for much longer than a season of “so-called” bliss. As the ages roll on in heaven so will you be there also in perfect “bliss” forevermore.

At this point you might be thinking…..do you really believe all that? And I have to answer you saying: Yes, I do believe it. Without faith you cannot make even the first step toward knowing the things of God much less learning the deep, deep things of God and on into eternal life.

The Abundant River Of Life

A light bulb moment for me this week, was the recognition that “universal law” is completely dependable and completely unchangeable – in much the same way that we “know” this about laws of gravity, electricity and aerodynamics. ("Advanced Formula For Total Success" www.total-success-4u.com).

We can cry at the banks of this energy stream or we can be happy at the edges of this ebb and flow; we can take a teaspoon, a bucket or a barrel to collect its abundant treasures – it doesn’t care - this “river” is neutral and continues along its natural, dependable, unchangeable course.

This "a-ha" drew a line in the sand for me regarding my “inner work” and its value. It clearly is the ONLY work that is more than worthy of my time. My daily busy-ness will not produce anything close to the results that I’m after. Not while my personal "transformer" is set to severely reduce the incoming energy current. “Desired results” are and will remain mere wishes until my mind truly expands - way beyond its comfort zone - my current capacity for Accepting, Seeing, Savoring, Expecting, Receiving and giving Thanks (A.S.S.E.R.T. www.sizzlingedge.com).

Many times a day I still relate to aspects of my life as a child would. Waiting to jump in while two other (not very friendly looking) kids keep turning a long, thin skipping rope – they speed it up the more I rock back and forth in hesitation. To me that is a “red flag”, indicating that I still set the responsibility for my results firmly outside of myself.

We can only experience freedom in direct proportion to the amount of truth that we are willing to accept without running way. I might believe that I’d progressed well with my work in the area of personal responsibility and “growing up”. That’s a bit of an egotistical, arrogant trap after you've accomplished a decent set of courageous, personal victories!

I recognise now, that although I rarely (if ever) consciously blame any tangible thing or any person outside of myself for a given circumstance, I do subconsciously still place responsibility firmly at the feet of “intangible forces at work – somewhere out there”. The question is, which idea/s and belief/s am I willing to shed so that I now courageously leap into my game? When that mind shift (point of "metanoia"; in ancient Greece, metanoia meant "the shifting of minds") is reached only a quantum leap is possible for the kinds of results that I will produce. This need only take as much time as I choose!

“Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~
