			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even before the buzz of the hit movie <span class="italic">The Secret</span> (as seen on the shows of Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres), I had read and followed the concept as outlined in <span class="italic">The Science of Getting Rich</span> by Wallace D. Wattles.</p>
<p>Has the Law of Attraction brought me prosperity?</p>
<p>Sure, it has!</p>
<p>In fact, it has not only brought me what I desired, but also helped me to let go of the hectic lifestyle that I used to have.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to gain more clarity on incorporating the Law of Attraction in your daily routine, you may want to check out <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=385501" target="_blank" title="The Science of Getting Rich">The Science of Getting Rich Network</a>.</p>
<p>To me, the information on the web site is priceless.  Not only will you receive a free copy of the famous book <span class="italic">The Science of Getting Rich</span>, you&#8217;ll also gain access to many extremely valuable gifts and bonuses.</p>
<p>Below is a summary of the crucial notes that I have personally gathered as I read and reviewed the book <span class="italic">The Science of Getting Rich</span>:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Be creative. </strong> After making your request and expressing your desire to the Universe, you must allow yourself to be creative and not competitive.  Because the Universe is always about moving energy in the form of creativity, you&#8217;ll be adding resistance and disharmony to the process if you do not align yourself with the same vibration of healthy flow of creative energy.</li>
<li><strong>Be thankful.</strong>  You must always express gratitude for all the blessings that you have and all the blessings that you are receiving.  You must express yourself with sincerity to impress the Universe that you have a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.</li>
<li><strong>Be one with the Universe.</strong>  You must constantly open yourself up to connect with the energy of the Universe.  You are to unify your mind with the infinite wisdom and intelligence of the Universe to create all that you desire.</li>
<li><strong>Have faith to hold a definite mental image of what you desire.</strong>  You must have a clear and definite mental image of what you desire to have, to do and to become.  You must express your gratitude deeply to the Universe and trust that all your desires are to be granted to you.</li>
<li><strong>Constant focus.</strong>  If you desire to be rich, you must spend your leisure hours contemplating your vision.  You must <em><span class="bold">frequently</span></em> contemplate the mental image of what you desire to have, to do and to become.</li>
<li><strong>Do not force things to happen. </strong>All creations are to be manifested through established channels of natural growth, which implies that your desires are to be fulfilled according to the most appropriate terms of industrial and social order.  This also suggests that whatever you desire, its manifestation will always come to you through a proper means of established trade and commerce.</li>
<li><strong>Honor the power of giving.</strong>  In order to welcome and be ready to receive all that you desire, you must act in a way that causes you to grow, evolve, advance and deliver more than what you use to offer at any moment in your life.  In other words, you must continue to find ways to give by creating better, more positive and healthy values to benefit other people.</li>
<li><strong>Success depends on how much attention you are continuously giving to all that you desire.</strong>  It&#8217;s truly worth repeating here: In order to become prosperous, you must always keep in mind the purpose to get rich through contemplation as well as realization of your own mental image of what you desire to have, to do and to become.</li>
<li><strong>Put the law of abundance into operation.</strong> How can you continue to impress the Universe with your unwavering attitude and steadiness of faith? You demonstrate your faith by sending out energy that harmoniously matches with the energy of abundance and constant creativity.   Instead of dwelling in scarcity thinking, you always take action to suggest an overflow of abundance by offering others with more usefully unique value.  If you are to get rich, you must continue to transact by giving out more useful value than the cash value that you are receiving.  Through your continuous action to always add more to what you offer when you communicate with others, you demonstrate to the Universe that you have total faith in abundance and that you are fully confident of the definite fulfillment of all that you desire.</li>
<li><strong>Be open to receive.</strong>  With the definiteness of your vision, the fixity of your purpose, the steadiness of your faith and the depth of your gratitude, you are destined to get rich and receive riches in the exact proportion of what you desire to have, to do and to become.  So, open yourself up and receive all the goods that are coming your way!</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Harry Potter fan since 2002, I couldn&#8217;t wait to get hold of a copy of <em>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</em> when it was released on July 21, 2007.</p>
<p>After finished reading the entire book, I must say I am not disappointed at all.</p>
<p>Personally, I applaud the effort of the author, J. K. Rowling.</p>
<p>I believe Rowling must have taken loads of her time and efforts as she planned, researched, organized and wrote <em>Harry Potter</em> since the last century.  Not only has she put together a lot of great plots in the entire series, <em>Harry Potter</em> is chuck full of contrasting themes such as love &amp; betrayal, greed &amp; sacrifice, wickedness &amp; innocence, etc. that I find it difficult not to question about the many options of lifestyle than we can choose to live in this world after putting down the book in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>While I try very hard not to over-analyze the core message behind the entire story, <em>Harry Potter</em> makes me somehow wonder what true heroism is all about.</p>
<p>What do you think&#8230;</p>
<p><span class="italic">Is heroism only about fighting for a good cause till the very end?</span>  Or</p>
<p class="italic">Is heroism more about finding the balance to live an honorable life through cultivating kindness and love?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always been fascinated by dreams.</p>
<p>Although my dreams were seldom scary, they could be quite annoyingly mysterious.</p>
<p>Many mornings, I woke up feeling bewildered, overwhelmed and confused because I felt abandoned, as I did not know what my dreams were trying to tell me.</p>
<p>Even with the help of dream dictionaries, I still felt puzzled as the pieces were always so scattered, so disorganized.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.rainangelonline.com/rediscover/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/wakingyourdreams.jpg" title="Waking Your Dreams by Emma Mellon Ph.D." alt="Waking Your Dreams by Emma Mellon Ph.D." class="alignright" align="right" />When I first discovered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0757305547?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=oraclepassa0a-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0757305547" target="_blank">Waking Your Dreams: Unlock the Wisdom of Your Unconscious</a> online last November, I hesitated to buy the book because I couldn&#8217;t quite tell by the cover whether the information provided would be useful.</p>
<p>Although I haven&#8217;t paid much attention to this book since, I noticed that people around me kept on talking about it in the past few months.</p>
<p>So, I finally decided to check the book out myself about a month ago.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0757305547?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=oraclepassa0a-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0757305547" target="_blank">Waking Your Dreams</a> isn&#8217;t a dream dictionary.</p>
<p>The author, Emma Mellon, encourages readers to explore dreams with the power of our imagination.</p>
<p>As I went through the book chapter by chapter, I noticed my mind started to wander into  some of the fragments of my scattered dreams.  Sometimes, I would be reading a paragraph from the book when my imagination took over and gave me a new layer of interpretation about my mysterious dreams.</p>
<p>Although the book isn&#8217;t long (it is only about 120 pages), it covers many helpful ideas that allow me to re-explore my dream mysteries.</p>
<p>Bit by bit, I started to revisit my dreams from angles that I haven&#8217;t observed before.  I began to recognize elements from the dreams that could also be meaningfully applied to my waking world.</p>
<p>If you also have dream mysteries that await to be resolved, I highly recommend that you give  this book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0757305547?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=oraclepassa0a-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0757305547" target="_blank">Waking Your Dreams: Unlock the Wisdom of Your Unconscious</a> a try.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the first book, <span class="italic">Confessions of a Shopaholic</span> was released a few years ago, I&#8217;ve become addicted to the series.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=0385338708%26tag=oraclepassa0a-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/0385338708%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.rainangelonline.com/rediscover/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/shopaholic-baby-150x150.jpg" alt="shopaholic and baby" title="shopaholic and baby" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-56" /></a> Have you read any of the book from the Shopaholic series?</p>
<p>The latest one, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=0385338708%26tag=oraclepassa0a-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/0385338708%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">Shopaholic &amp; Baby</a> was released in February 2007.</p>
<p>I really have to say, I truly admire the talents of the author, <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/kinsella/" title="Official web site of Sophie Kinsella">Sophie Kinsella</a>. Her style is not only witty, but also hilariously funny.</p>
<p>When I first noticed the paperback of <span class="italic">Confessions of a Shopaholic</span> at a local bookstore back in 2002, I didn&#8217;t really pay too much attention to it.  At that time, I thought I would never pick up another chick lit after the Bridget Jones&#8217;s Diary.</p>
<p>Anyway, to make a long story short, I finally placed an online order in June 2003 and purchased the first three books of the series, <span class="italic">(1) Confessions of a Shopaholic, (2) Shopaholic Takes Manhattan</span>, and <span class="italic">(3) Shopaholic Ties the Knot</span>.</p>
<p>After receiving my order, I couldn&#8217;t quite put the books down and ended up finished reading all of them within 48 hours.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=044024191X%26tag=oraclepassa0a-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/044024191X%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.rainangelonline.com/rediscover/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/shopaholic-sister-150x150.jpg" alt="shopaholic and sister" title="shopaholic and sister" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-57" /></a>When  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=044024191X%26tag=oraclepassa0a-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/044024191X%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">Shopaholic &amp; Sister</a> arrived at the bookstore in September 2004, I immediately picked up my hardcover copy.</p>
<p>Although I found the plot slightly less funny than the first three in the series, <span class="italic">Shopaholic &amp; Sister</span> still wins my heart and is currently residing at a very prominent spot on my bookshelf.</p>
<p class="italic">Do you enjoy reading the Shopaholic series?</p>
