How Do We Know If it is Spiritual Love Or Just Physical Pleasure?

Love is spirituality along with the actual realistic knowledge of knowing there is someone other than oneself in the picture. Spiritually as if your heart is not in your own body, it inhabits the space in the heart of the person you love, with that person's heart inhabiting the space in your own, as if indistinguishable who is who, and it does not matter. Physically there are two, though spiritually there is only one, and that one is love, body, mind, and spirit. It can not be broken, ever, period, at least if it is absolute love from the infinite timelessness of our spiritual being, in the present body.

Simple, yes if it is realized that our nature is love and our spirits are free of complications or delusional illusions of what someone else may tell us. In other words when we listen to anyone other than ourselves in the realm of our own spirituality in consideration of love we give up our truth and become as deluded as the ones telling us what to do or who to love. Delusion is rampant in to-days so called intelligent society because of the ego of the experts (supposedly experts) who give out guidance as if there were no tomorrow, even though they may say they are not orders it is implied that if you do not follow their guidance you will be left out. Our media circus is great at that one, and unfortunately many seem to be unable to reject or ignore the zoo keepers. It is akin to actors in Hollywood, or anywhere for that matter, being the character in real life as well as the part they play, so they really are confused as to who they are for the most part. Hence all the idiocy we see coming from so called celebrity status.

What is the circus selling? Pure and simply sex in all the glory it has. Glorification though of sex is like being blissfully ignorant, even though most buy it, or so it seems when we look at statistics of who watches what and what movies sell the most tickets. No there is nothing wrong with sex, or even liking it, and obviously it is a beautiful aspect of life, though it is perhaps the least understood in all that we aspire to understand. Difficulty is the fact that spirituality and sex go together, while sex can be apart from spirituality nothing comes from just sex by itself. Our deficit in spirituality leads to a loss of value to the human condition as well as some of what we see going on in the economy right now, greed for only pleasure/money/sex with no actual work being done.

Pleasure is not a bad thing, though sexual pleasure just for the sake of pleasure is what tears at the very foundations of our human existence, especially in the way of our spiritual realm. Spiritually we have occupied many bodies, we do not know how many, though the fact of our spirit remembering minute, less than perhaps molecular pieces of our past memories is why we behave the way we do, along with of course the cause and effect of our present surrounding. If from childhood we live without any trauma whatsoever we may grow up with full faculty of our own spiritual being, truly knowing who we are all the while not needing any type of mind altering substance or wanting to be altered. Rare indeed, and yet that in itself does not mean the spirit is ready for enlightenment, or love, though perhaps it may help, for example in the area of sex, it is known instinctively, no matter male or female, what is means to be attracted to the opposite sex and why as spiritual purity enables such innocent attraction to manifest with an intimacy which has nothing to do with the physical nature of the body. Of course one will know something is there, though with again the innocence of love. If there is a beginning to true or absolute love it is here in the innocence.

Just for the sake of looking at things from perhaps what some may call a rather different perspective, think of making love as something that everyone sees, not only those involved, hopefully a male and female who actually love one and other, in what we will say is in the spiritual realm. We will leave religious dogma out of the equation for now. When we leave the body at death of the body our consciousness or spirit searches for a womb, unless it has become as god consciousness or enlightened, in order to have a new body to house the spirit. How many spirits are watching when those in love are making love? Choose the womb carefully from Tibetan Buddhism is the relevancy of how and why spirituality is the most important factor in life, as in we are responsible for our own choices. In other words if we are not making love, we are not in love and sex is the only factor, the spirits who are ignorant may end up in a womb they are not meant to actually be in at that time (hence birth control, as in take away responsibility) and may need to start the search all over shortly thereafter, how ever unfortunate it is. Choose the womb carefully.

Sex for sale, narcissus, egotistical, sociopathic exhibitionism and or voyeurism are some of the factors of the spiritual deficit in the world, there is no love or spirituality in this scene. Like it our not religion is meant to be a structural support of love and spirituality, as human beings have always needed some kind of structure to help in behavior, which is why we are not still beating each other with sticks, hopefully. Our spirit is the foundation with love being the transporter which allows life in the physical body to exist, and why spirituality is the actual basis for the foundation. Point is this, the unrestricted sexual behavior of a non-spiritual nature confuses our own consciousness along with all the other spirits involved with our personal behavior.

Depression, irritability, anger, frustration, anti-social behavior all are part of the consequence of our behavior of any type in the realm of sex, be it physical or mental. Drugs, which by the way alcohol is one, are the emotional strength to delude the body and mind that all is just great. Our spirit knows, yet our mind and body pay no attention to the signs and leaves the spirit in the dirt. Of course this is why when it comes to the sex trade, no matter what is happening, drugs are a necessity to keep girls, boys, women, men in the game to profit from, another words exploit without spiritual consequences.

No consequences, is just a lie or delusion that goes with the behavior, even for those who may not actually partake to the extent of some and seem to keep their senses for the most part. It is like standing at the edge of a cliff thinking you are able to fly when you jump. Deviant behavior of a sexual nature must stop before any type of spiritual awakening is enabled. Love making is not deviant behavior, even though it may not be spiritual, though when it is done for an audience other than the female and male involved it turns into deviance, known or not. Usually this type of sexual behavior is not done without the help of some type of uninhibited mind altering substance, which bears repeating, or just plain delusion that there is nothing wrong with it.

In a free society such as ours here in America we must not try to control any-ones' behavior other than those who break the law. Our constitution was and is written in order to allow freedom of all people here in the United States. Behavior is something which is ones' own responsibility, owning up to it is another story perhaps, and spirituality does not necessarily need to be a part of any-ones behavior at least consciously, although it is always there waiting in the background to let us know when we have screwed up, ignored or not.

If love is based on spirituality it will be known to anyone involved as intimacy and innocence will allow the female and the male to actually get to know each other before any physical contact of a sexual nature takes place. When the time comes the female will let the male know what is going to happen or not, or how much, which is completely normal when all is right with the relationship. Meaning it is the female who controls the situation, yet this does not mean or imply she is somehow to blame when things may not go right. Problem is man, usually is the one who pushes or forces something which is not totally wanted, though interestingly younger boys, or young adults will respect the wishes of the girl before an older man will, which again is normal as the spirit is not yet pushed aside in the young man who realizes there is something more at play here than just sex. Point here is man will at times use force to control the woman, and this is and has been and most likely will remain the problem as long as man deludes himself into thinking that he is the one in control of woman. It is kind of a paradox as most men know this already though do not want to admit it because they want to think they are the boss though they know they are not, which ignorantly is why they continue with the stupidity. Of course not all men are stupid, which is why so many people are happily married and do have spirituality in there lives, mainly though because of and through the spiritual nature of woman, as she instinctively knows what is love and what is not because she has the womb the spirits keep wanting to enter.

What can be perhaps the most significant in importance is when there is a true spiritual connection between the female and male there will never be any force what so ever in any part of the relationship. Force is not needed at any time in the union of the female and male, it is the force of nature which is absolutely the way the universe intended in the realm of physical intimacy between the female and the male, as nature is what does and or has brought anyone together in a spiritual union. Fact is we may at times think this will not happen, though with a spiritual nature kept solid through discipline and will we do find we are brought together with someone to love in a spiritual way, which is one reason why they say, and it is true, patience is a virtue. Physical pleasure, or just sex will not happen under those conditions, the spiritual universe will not allow narcissus, egotistical, or a sociopaths behavior to exist in those conditions. Love, absolute spiritual love, is what the universe allows, period.

Backup Plans Feel Good

Using Bath Curtain to Change the Look of Your Bathroom

Bath curtains are a cheap and easy way to add some beauty and a bit of design to your bathroom. Any big household shop in your neighborhood is a perfect place to buy bathroom curtains. I suggest you to spend some time browsing internet online shops, previewing the curtains, picking color schemes and patterns, before making the actual purchase.

When making any decoration transformation plans, keep in mind that bath curtain is the key element of any bathroom design. It should be a natural part of the whole design idea of the bathroom. The right color and pattern will fit perfectly in the style of the bath. Curtain is also reflects your personality. That's why it is very important to pick the right bathroom curtain.

Using more than one bath curtain for decoration is a common way to add style to your bathroom.

Here is an easy guide on using two bath curtains in bathroom decoration.

The first bath curtain should be used as a curtain (for preventing water be sprayed on floor). The second one should be cut in pieces and used in different elements of design of the bathroom. Keep in mind that this design idea is intended for unsigned bath curtains made of fabric. Fabric brings additional style to the bathroom. It makes it look gorgeous. Plastic curtains are much cheaper but fabric look nicer. It is easier to use cloth for decorating purposes.
Talking about the practical side of using fabric curtains: they can easily be washed in the machine.

I'd recommend you to avoid large-pattern designs when picking up curtains. For example: instead of floral design it is better to use one solid color or some vertical stripes pattern. It is preferably to use bright colors instead of dark ones.

If you'd ask me about my personal favorites is bath curtain design, I would pick the light blue fabric shower curtain with multiple dark blue colored stripes. Those colors will make this curtain the first thing people notice in my bathroom. Adding a few blue pieces of soap and towels adds a strong feeling of a style to the room. A finishing touch can be done by hanging a nice photo or a painting on the bathroom wall.

Here is simple guide on decorating bathroom with two bath curtains:

  • purchase two identical bath curtains that fits your bathroom design. They should be of the same tint. One a bit lighter, the other should be a bit darker.
  • hang the first (light one) bath curtain on the rod in the bathroom. On the one side, it is going to do it's job (preventing water leaking), and on the other side, it is going to inspire you while finishing rest of the design!
  • the darker bath curtain should be cut to pieces. It is going to be used for matting picture frames. Before making the actual cut, you should pick up the picture (or pattern) you would like to put on your wall. The picture or pattern you are going to use, is pretty much depends of the design and color of your bathroom. For example: if the bathroom are done in yellow and blue and has a sea shore design, it will be a good idea to put a picture of your friends (or family) on the wall. It will remind you about the happy hours you've spend at the sea.
  • once you've picked up the pictures it is time to put them in a frame. Any household shop will help you do that. Be sure to measure the pictures you've picked, before ordering the frames. Use those numbers to get frames of the right size. It might be a good idea, to get a frame of the bigger size and matte the picture with the darker bath curtain. Another cool idea is to matte several photos in one big frame.
  • cut the second bath curtain to pieces of the right size.Tose pieces should fit into frames, filling the empty space when photo places in center. Finding a right spot to hand the picture is another important task.
  • there might be a remaining fabric clippings after the cutting. You might use the in a variety of ways. The first way is to buy a storage containers and cover them with that fabric. A hot glue gun, a stapler and sewing will help you do this. Covered containers can be placed on a small shelf in the bathroom, or stacked on the floor.

Decorating your bathroom is a simple, but exiting process. By adding a little creativity you can express yourself and make a cozy place in your home.

Dog Creates Remodeling Nightmare

How many homeowners normally leave their dog in the backyard or they have full time access to the backyard through a doggie door. You're probably wondering how can a little dog create a remodeling nightmare for any contractor.

This wasn't the case this dog was a large Labrador retriever and tore up everything in the backyard constantly. The house remodel we were working on was a two story room addition over a single story house. This job lasted around six months and the dog was a daily reminder of how much attention a large dog actually needs.

Let's start with the first item of value the dog actually destroyed. It was my favorite tool bags of course that I have taken care of for over five years and deeply appreciated the fact that they were broke in just the way I wanted them to be. Kind of like a baseball mitt that doesn't quite fit right because of how stiff it is until you break it in.

While the homeowner of course apologized and never even offered to replace them. Oh but after that he did mention never to leave anything lying around in the backyard. Lesson learned of course and never forgotten. Well to make a long story short this large dog could chew up tools, lumber, plumbing pipes, electrical wire and was even able to destroyed the plywood fencing we would use to keep him away.

I'm going to stop right there with the remodeling nightmare created from this dog in hopes that other contractors can learn from my valuable lesson. As a contractor you should never assume that a homeowner will replace any damaged or broken tools and materials.

As a homeowner with a dog reading this article, think about having a place to enclose the dog if necessary while remodeling work is done on your home.

I love being around dogs and other animals but sometimes a problem like this can make life extremely miserable for both parties.

Sloping Floors in Your House

If you've ever been in a building where you feel like you are getting pushed to one side and you can't seem to stand up. You have either been drinking too much alcohol or the floor could be sloping. I was just in a store the other day that was full of antiques and glass but I could hardly stand up because the floor was sloping enough to create what I would consider a liability issue to the store owner.

Sloping floors are not going to be that easy to fix and repair. Repairing these floors will require a little skill and it would be a good idea to hire a professional to repair the damage. This is not going to be a simple fix and this is probably the main reason most people never choose to fix their sloping floors.

Fixing these floors will require either pouring a new concrete slab, replacing the wood floor framing members or replacing the actual building foundation itself. No matter how you look at it the sloping floor is going to be a costly item to repair.

What causes a sloping floor? Termite damage or dry rot destroying the wood framing or it could be as simple as a water leak over a long period of time causing the building foundation to sink and become out of level. Poor soil conditions with either too sandy or an expansive clay soil could be the culprit also.

Sloping floors can be damaged from incorrect landscape drainage. This would involve water settling around the foundation of your home and over a period of time the weight of the house along with soil problems can create the building to start sloping to one side.

The number one contributor to a sloping floor again like most damage done to a house is going to be water. Do your best to keep the water away from the house using roof gutters and landscape drains. These items are relatively inexpensive compared to the costs involved in repairing sloping floors.

Greg Vanden Berge is working on the internet to promote the education for creating simple to follow guides and home building books to help professional building contractors as well as the weekend warriors. He is currently working on more building stairs books and adding useful content to help solve problems created by the lack of construction knowledge in the building industry.

This started about 4 years ago when I was at church hearing the preacher say when God is with you all things are possible no matter how it looked. that word started stirring me up on the inside. I know I wanted to started my own business but what. I know I had drawing talent but I did not know how I was going to put it to good use. I prayed about it everyday asking God I wanted to your my talent to glorify you. it took awhile it did t happen over night.

It was about 3 years later. One night God puta vision of a logo in my heart; I quickly woke up and drew it on a sheet of paper. Still I did not know what it meant at first because I still wanted to use my drawing talent for God. Then it hit me I seen alot of t-shirts but very few that Christian can wear that would express how they felt about God. Then I know I was on to something very special. I took my drawing talent and started making design for the christian to show how much they love God using my talents to focus on Jesus in a way that never been do before.this t-shirts are a powerful witness tool for christian of all ages. there is a t-shirt that will please everyone. but for the most part I just one of many trying to do my part in getting the word out that Jesus is here now and forever more.

Paris Hostels Offer Inexpensive Accommodations For Travelers

If you wish to travel to Paris in the near future, you might have been shocked at the prices for hotel stays. Fancy hotels can eat up your travel budget quickly. Instead, many travelers choose Paris hostels as a cost-effective and comfortable way to travel through The City of Light.

C'est Bon March
Staying at hostels in Paris is similar to staying at a hotel in that you will make a reservation ahead of your stay to book your bed or room. Depending on the particular hostel, Paris hostelries offer group accommodations or private rooms. Groups sleep together in the same room in bunks or individual beds. The bathroom is also shared. Lockers are usually available so that you can lock up your valuables overnight. Private rooms in hostels in Paris, which often cost a bit more, offer a bed and more privacy. Typically bathrooms will be shared even if you choose a private room.

Paris hostels may also offer a kitchen for everyone to use. This is popular because you can go out and purchase whatever food you like and prepare it yourself, thus saving even more money on dining out continually. Hostels in Paris keep their maintenance costs down by expecting that those using the kitchen will clean up after themselves, washing their own dishes and putting them away.

Another requirement that you may find at a Paris hostel is that you are expected to clear out of your bed or room by a certain time of day, often in the morning. This is so that the facility can be cleaned and maintained while you are out and about, enjoying your day in the city. This is the bare-bones experience that you can expect from a stay at a Paris hostel. Paris hostels are enjoyable for those who require simple but comfortable accommodations. If this works for how you like traveling and spending your time, then Paris hostels offer a very inexpensive way to deal with your housing and even some meals while you are on the road.

C'est Sympathetique
There are many benefits from spending time at hostels. Paris travelers will tell you that they offer a unique experience to get to know other travelers also staying at your accommodation. You will often have a chance to meet interesting people from all over the world, and be able to talk to them and get to know them a bit.

At hostels in Paris you will find that you tend to congregate together in the kitchen and dining areas at breakfast and supper times, for example, and can find out how everyone's day went and what they got to do and see. You will often get recommendations about places to visit in town. You will have an opportunity to trot out any second or third languages that you might know a great boon to language learners who wish to immerse themselves in the country's language. For all these benefits, a Paris hostel may be the perfect travel choice for you.
