Laura Pausini - La solitudine (Sanremo 1993 Serata finale.) - (detachment will help you, Laura)






Jupiter Transit Over Leo Sign From 31/10/2026 07:34 To 24/01/2027
21:00
Bhagya Guru (9th House):
Jupiter in the 9th from Moon is a classic blessing — it strengthens fortune,
protection, mentors, dharma, higher learning, and long travel. Many
people feel “saved at the right time” during this transit.
Likely results:
• Support from teachers, father figures, bosses, or spiritual elders.


Ketu (S.Node) Transit Over Leo Sign From 18/05/2025 16:05 To
05/12/2026 18:03

Currently, Ketu is transiting the 9th House
(Dharma Sthana / Righteousness) from your
Moon sign.

Ketu in the 9th from Moon strongly pushes you toward inner spirituality.
You may lose interest in routine rituals and instead search for the essence:
mantra, meditation, scripture, guru guidance, and personal truth.

chris josh : They Manipulated Your Family Members Against You.

Update from Christa (Abi)gail Pike

Statement from Christa Pike as dictated to her legal team.

One month ago on September 30, I walked into the execution chamber at Riverbend men’s prison prepared to die. I had made my peace. I had told the people who loved me, supported me and stood by me through the years I was grateful for them. I had also told the people in the room and who were there to witness my execution that I was leaving them in loving kindness. Several days later I woke up alone in a hospital confused and in pain.

There hasn't been a moment since that night when I haven't been in pain. My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts. I still struggle to speak. And the pain isn't just physical. There is pain in my mind and in my soul. I had not contemplated life beyond that night, and I’m deeply hurt by the incompetence that has put so many people in this terrible position. I continue to think about my victim’s family and the terrible pain and loss they have endured.

I am recovering, and I know that I am getting stronger. But healing is not the same as being okay. Since that night, I have been largely isolated in the prison’s medical ward, away from other people and the human connections that mean so much to me. That isolation brings its own kind of pain. I spent 28 years in solitary confinement and much of what I am experiencing today is a repeat of that condition.

I am searching for meaning in what happened to me. One thing that has given me strength is the extraordinary love and support I have received from people around the world. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and prayers of people I have known for years and complete strangers who have never met me. To know that so many people care about me, that they see me as a human being whose life matters, is something I cannot fully put into words. It is humbling, and it has touched me more deeply than I can explain.

I also want to thank the first responders, doctors, nurses and everyone at the hospital who cared for me. They treated me with compassion, dignity and respect. I will never forget their kindness. I also want to thank my attorneys and everyone who has fought for me, stood beside me and refused to give up on me.

I don't know why I survived that night. I don't know what comes next. Some days, finding hope is harder than others. For now, I am trying to heal, one day at a time. And I am holding on to the love and kindness of so many people who have reminded me that I am not alone.

david john sorensen : We Saved Millions Of Lives Around The World.

Dear Friends around the world,

 

Millions of people did not die, thanks to our work. We literally saved millions of people over the past years.

 

That is a claim very few organizations in the world can honestly make. But we can make the statement in all truth. 

 

During the early stages of the 2020 plandemic we were the very first in the world to produce a high-quality film to warn humanity of the coming lethal vaccines. Our film The Battle For Humanity exposed the hidden agenda behind the injections, that were part of the transhumanist and depopulation agenda.

 

This film was translated in dozens of languages and warned hundreds of millions of people not to take the potentially deadly inoculation.


Next we released the world-famous Vaccine Death Report, which reveals scientific data of the global genocide that occurred once the shots had been unleashed. It was the second wave of bioweapons to dramatically reduce the world population. This report was translated in 15 languages and saved lives from Europe to Africa, the Americas and Asia. 

 

We were also the first to make a complete overview of the lifesaving cures for the pandemic bioweapon. This again saved innumerable lives worldwide. 

 

While the evil organizations like the WHO, WEF and UN falsely claimed there were no cures and everyone needed to be injected with a dangerous cocktail of undisclosed toxic substances, we stood up and revealed the different treatments that saved millions upon millions of people worldwide.

 

We Influence The Influencers

Our work has consistently been saving millions of lives, in dozens of nations, not only directly but even more so indirectly.

 

We influence the influencers and our clarion calls have been heard, and passed on by many other platforms.

 

A striking example of this is a text message I received from the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. This medical doctor from New York successfully treated many world leaders for the plandemic bioweapon. Amongst his patients were President Trump, the Brazilian president Bolsonaro, the Italian health minister, the Israeli health minister and others.

 

He developed the world-famous "Zelenko Protocol" and trained thousands of doctors worldwide, who together successfully treated tens of millions of patients suffering from the biological attack. Dr. Zelenko became one of the most powerful voices to expose the crimes of the plandemic, and he had indescribable influence.

 

After watching one of my films, Dr. Zelenko texted me:

 

"Dave, you awakened me. Can you give me a crash course of what is really going on?"

 

I answered him with a long exposé of everything that is happening, how there are satanic powers who want to enslave humanity, and how Christ is liberating mankind. He responded with:

 

"Amazing. The world needs to know this!" 

 

That is just one of the countless examples of how we don't just reach people directly — our real impact lies in the influence we have on others, who between them reach billions around the world. 

 

More than one thousand organizations for truth and freedom signed up for our World Freedom Directory.

 

Our information is considered so powerful that nearly one thousand officials from the US government signed up for our emails. On my social media accounts I am being followed by presidents, ministers, military officers, and other high level individuals.

 

Despite being censored, deplatformed, defunded, slandered and betrayed, and even in the face of severe health challenges, I continued to raise my voice to save millions around the world.

 

Why am I telling you all this?

To beat my own drum?

No. Because we are in danger of being shut down. 

 

This threat to our platform is happening right when another global crisis is looming, as I documented in the previous posts. Governments around the world are warning their citizens to prepare for an undefined period without power, Internet and communication. This would immediately cancel all food supply and give rise to sudden and extreme food shortages. 

 

I am working on a full report about what is about to happen, so you can prepare and once again save your life.

 

But we are at serious risk of permanently losing our worldwide influence. As many of you have been aware of for a long time, there has been a steady decline in support. Today this has reached a crisis level, where I am no longer able to pay the expenses to run this worldwide platform.

 

If nothing major happens, it will result in a permanent end of our mission. All I can do is be transparent and share the critical need.

 

If you value our mission that has saved many millions of lives, and you want us to continue saving millions of people worldwide, then please help us. 

 

Go here to support our mission to save millions of lives >>


I sincerely hope that many of you will do something, because only together can we overcome this setback.

 

Don't close your heart please, like so many people do.

 

We need a real miracle to continue. I truly hope we will be able to sustain this life-saving and world-changing work.

 

Thank you for caring about humanity and this world. ❤️

Kristof Gabriel van Hooymissen (also known as Kristof Gabriel Carina van Hooymissen) is a Belgian writer and singer-songwriter who is primarily associated with
Hinduism, eastern spirituality, and mysticism.
Rather than adhering strictly to a traditional Western religious framework, his personal faith and written work focus heavily on:
  • Sanātana Dharma (Hinduism): He has written and contributed to texts referencing Sanātana Dharma (the traditional name for Hinduism) and themes related to Vaishnavism, Krishna, and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. 
  • Kundalini and Meditation: He wrote an autobiographical work titled Mijn leven met kundalini ("My Life with Kundalini"), focusing on spiritual enlightenment, cosmic consciousness, and meditation.
  • Universal Mysticism: His broader focus centers on universal themes of faith, hope, and love, exploring spiritual awakening beyond rigid personal identity.

Sivanada's advice for all of the sadhaks.

DANGERS OF MIXING WITH WOMEN (OR MEN) AND WORLDLINGS

During the period of Sadhana, avoid the company of women (or men in the case of women). You must never mix with young ladies (or men), however strong you may be. Maya works through under-currents so stealthily that you may not be aware of your actual downfall.

Keep the mind fully occupied with spiritual pursuits. Keep yourself at the farthest distance from everything that would stir up your passions. Then only you will be safe.

Do not live with householders. Do not test your spiritual strength and purity when you are a beginner on the spiritual path. Do not rush into evil associations when you are a spiritual neophyte to show that you have the courage to face sin and impurity. It will be a serious mistake. You will be running into a grave danger. You will have a quick downfall. A small fire will be very easily extinguished by a heap of dust.

Mind has a great power of imitation. This is the reason why a spiritual aspirant is prohibited from mixing with householders. His mind will try to imitate the minds of worldlings. Downfall will ensue.

If an aspirant moves with rich people, Zamindars, and Rajas, his mind begins to imitate the luxurious habits of these people and, ere long, he gets an unconscious downfall. Certain bad habits creep in him unconsciously. And he finds it difficult to tear out or remove these bad habits.

An aspirant can live only for a short time in his native place if there is an urgent call. Yogic rules and laws cannot permit him to stay there for a sufficiently long period, however suitable the place may be and whatever may be the degree of Vairagya of the aspirant. The force of impressions is tremendous. Unless all the Samskaras are thoroughly burnt through Nirvikalpa- Samadhi, it is not safe for one to stay for a long time in one's own native place. He is still within the danger zone.

THE SPIRITUAL PATH

The spiritual path may, in the beginning, appear to be very hard, thorny, precipitous and slippery. Renunciation of objects gives pain at the outset. If you struggle hard to tread the path, if you once make a strong determination and firm resolve, then it becomes very easy. You get interest and new joy. Your heart expands. You have a broad outlook of life. You have a new, wide vision. You feel the help from the invisible hands of the Indweller of your heart. Your doubts are cleared by themselves by getting answers from within. You can hear the shrill, sweet voice of God. There is an indescribable thrill of divine ecstasy from within. There is deep, abiding, everlasting joy and unruffled peace. There is ineffable, unabating, undiminishing, undecaying spiritual bliss. This gives new strength. The footing in the path becomes firmer and firmer. The Jivanmuktas, Yogins, Nitya- siddhas, Amara -purushas, and Chiranjivis lend their helping hands to the struggling aspirants. The aspirants feel this actually. The feeling of loneliness and of being neglected and forsaken vanishes entirely.

You are backed up at all times by a mighty power that works everywhere in the cosmos. Therefore you have nothing to fear. Take care of the details in Sadhana. The major factor will take care of itself.

Some aspirants leave Sadhana after some time. They expect great fruits quickly. They expect many Siddhis within a short time. When they do not get some, they give up the Sadhana. There are several ranges of consciousness between the ordinary human consciousness and the supra-consciousness of Brahman. Different veils have to be torn down on the way; many lower centres have to be opened up; many hurdles have to be crossed before the final goal is reached.

SPIRITUAL PROGRESS IS LIKE A SPIRAL

You have to plod on and scale many hills. You cannot climb the Everest in one jump. There is no jumping on the spiritual path.

Self-realization is not like a six-year post-graduate course. It is the result of intense protracted Sadhana.

There is no short-cut in the spiritual path. There is no royal road to the kingdom of immortal bliss. There is no half-measure in the divine path. Strict, hard discipline is wanted. Then alone you can conquer Maya. Only then can you control the mind.

Saints and Yogins will never think that they have controlled the mind. Only the deluded Sadhaka will imagine he has controlled the mind and get a terrible downfall. It is the very nature of life, mind, and Prakriti to be constantly in motion. When there is the idea in the mind that the highest goal is yet to be achieved, you will always move towards it. If you imagine that you have got to the top, you will anyhow have to move, and that movement will be downward. You will have a downfall. Aspire for higher realization till the breath ceases in the nostril.

Spiritual progress is slow, as the spiritual Sadhana is difficult and laborious. It is like the spiral. In the beginning, great striving is needed. Gradually, the circle becomes smaller and smaller. So also, the striving becomes less and less. The aspirant gains spiritual strength slowly. He marches faster and faster. Finally, he does not go by furlongs after furlongs. He proceeds by mile after mile. He gallops and gallops. Therefore, be patient; be persevering; be steady.

SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

The gradual inward progress is mostly silent and unseen, like the quiet unfolding of a bud into a flower in the hours of the night. Therefore, do not be dejected. Do not depress yourself with the idea that you are not progressing. Real spiritual progress is really and accurately measured by the peacefulness, serenity, and calmness that you manifest in waking state. You will have a healthy body and mind, the excretions will be scanty, the voice will be sweet, the face will be brilliant, the eyes will be lustrous. You will be ever calm, tranquil, and poised; you will be ever cheerful, fearless, and contented. You will be dispassionate and discriminative. There will be no attraction for the world. Things that used to upset you before will not upset you now. You will have an unruffled mind. You will have introversion. Things that used to give you pleasure produce disgust or a reverse effect now. You will have a one-pointed, sharp, subtle mind. You will be longing to have more meditation. You will experience lights, visions, divine smell, divine taste. The idea that all forms are forms of the Lord will get stronger and stronger in you. You will feel everywhere the presence of God. You will experience the nearness of God. You will have a very steady Asana. You will develop a burning desire for selfless service.

Watch whether you are stationary in the spiritual path, retrogressing, or advancing. If your Japa, meditation or Vedantic Vichara thickens your veil and fattens your egoism, it is not then a spiritual Sadhana. Remember this point well. It is only a kind of occult practice. Watch, introspect. Practice self-analysis and kill ruthlessly this formidable egoism. This is important Sadhana. Egoism will lurk like a thief and assume various forms like a chameleon or a Bahurupi (a dramatic actor).

Do not stop the Sadhana when you get a few glimpses of realization. Continue practice till you are fully established in Bhuma, the unconditioned Brahman. This is important. If you stop practice and move about in the world, there is every likelihood of a downfall. The reaction will be tremendous. Examples are not lacking. Numerous persons have been so ruined. A glimpse cannot give you perfect safety. Do not be carried away by name and fame. You can renounce your wife, children, parents, house, friends, and relatives. It is very, very difficult to renounce the intellectual pleasure, the pleasure from name and fame. I seriously warn you. A man who can draw happiness from the Atman within, will never care a jot for this trivial, paltry affair. The world is a mighty big thing for a worldly man. It is a straw for the Knower of Brahman. It is a mustard, a pin's point, a dot, a bubble, an airy nothing for a Brahma-jnani (Knower of Brahman). Be circumspective. Ignore all these trivial things. Be steady with your practice. Never stop the practice till the final beatitude is reached. Never cease Sadhana till you can constantly dwell in full Brahmic consciousness.

Do not let failures discourage you, but go on doing your best. Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures, as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in future. Be cautious. Just think of the causes which led to your failures and try to remove them in future. Strengthen yourself with new vigour and virtues. Develop slowly your will-power.

Every temptation that is resisted, every evil thought that is curbed, every desire that is subdued, every bitter word that is withheld, every noble aspiration that is encouraged, every sublime thought that is cultivated, adds to the development of will-force, good character, and attainment of eternal bliss and immortality.

Every bit of Sadhana done is surely recorded without fail in your hidden consciousness. No Sadhana ever goes in vain. Every bit of it is credited immediately towards your evolution. This is the law. Think not negative thoughts, but calmly go on with the Sadhana. Be regular at it. Without missing a single day, proceed onward with your spiritual practices. Little by little, the power accumulates and it will grow. Ultimately, the cumulative force of all the continuous earnest Sadhana done perseveringly and patiently over a long period of life has its inevitable grand consummation at the supreme moment when it bears fruit in the form of blissful Realization.

Let the Sadhana be regular, continuous, unbroken, and earnest. Not only regularity, but also continuity in Sadhana and meditation is necessary if you want to attain Self-realization quickly. A spiritual stream once set going does not dry up, unless the channel-bed is locked, unless there is stagnation. Be vigilant eternally. Meditate regularly. Annihilate the under-current of Vasanas.

OBSTACLES TO SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

Sometimes the aspirant gets stuck up. He cannot proceed further in his path. Sometimes he is side-tracked through Siddhis. He loses his way and walks in some other direction. He misses the goal. Sometimes he is assailed by temptations and various oppositions. Sometimes he gets false contentment. He thinks he has reached his goal and stops all Sadhana. Sometimes he is careless, lazy, indolent. He cannot do any Sadhana. Therefore, be eternally vigilant, like the captain of a ship, like the surgeon in the operation theatre.

The spiritual path is full of hurdles. If you conquer one obstacle, another obstacle is ready to manifest. If you control the sense of taste, another Indriya is simply waiting to assault you with redoubled force and vigour. If you remove greed, anger is waiting to hurl you down. If you drive egoism through one door, it enters through another door. Great patience, perseverance, vigilance, and undaunted strength are needed.

Be frim, steady, and steadfast. People will mock at you; be silent. People will insult you; be silent. People will spread evil rumours about you; be silent. Stick to the spiritual path. Do not swerve. Seek the truth wherever it may lead you to, and whatever be the cost and sacrifice.

START SADHANA NOW

Act now. Live now. Know now. Realize now. Be happy now.

Every death is a reminder. Every bell that rings says, "The end is near". Every day robs off from you one part of your precious life. Therefore, you should be very earnest in plunging yourself in constant Sadhana.

Never fall a victim to fruitless regret. Today is the best day. Today is the day of your new birth. Start Sadhana now. With folded palms, bid good-bye to past mistakes and faults. You have learnt your lessons. March forward now with new hope, determination, and vigilance.

Waver not. Fear not. Doubt not. Do something substantial in the path of Sadhana instead of wasting your time in idle pursuits and lethargy. You have infinite strength within you. There is a vast reservoir of power within you. Therefore, do not lose heart. Obstacles are stepping stones to success. They will develop your will. Do not allow yourself to be crushed by them. Defects remind you of perfection. Sin reminds you of virtue. Chose the positive path.

If you think, "I will take a bath when all the waves of the sea subside", this is not possible. The waves will never subside and you will never take a bath. Even so, if you think, "I will start spiritual Sadhana or meditation when all my cares, worries and anxieties cease, when all my sons are fixed up in life, when I have ample leisure after retirement", this is not possible. You will not be able to sit even for half an hour when you become old. You will have no strength to do any rigorous Tapas  when you are in advanced senility.

You must start vigorous spiritual practices when you are young, whatever your conditions, circumstances and environments may be. Then only you will reap a rich spiritual harvest when you become old. You will enjoy the everlasting peace of the Eternal.
