You have probably already experienced getting messages from Spirit in the quiet times. Perhaps, when you are alone driving home from work or taking a shower. To receive messages from spirit all you really have to do is open yourself up to it. Then, when it is quiet the messages will come. You can create an opportunity to receive messages through meditation.

Here is an example of a message I received. I was walking down the rather long hallway at work on the way to the restroom. See how I am alone and it is fairly quiet just like I said above. This Spirit comes to me and I get a quick message. I basically see hands waving in three arcs and the word triangle. I think I responded like anyone would. I said, “What?”

When I had my first child, I did a little bit of research on my family tree. I started asking around about relatives to my older living relatives. Sometimes I got responses like, “Why do you want to know that?” and other times they were happy to share what they knew. I got back a few generations and stored it away on paper in a binder.

A couple years later the TV show, “Who Do You Think You Are?” reminded me about the family tree. I saw it on TV one night and it sparked an interest in my family tree once again. I signed up for the ancestry.com trial and entered the information I had.

If you know how ancestry.com works, it pops up hints, aka leaves, for information it finds in it’s database that might be relevant for your family tree. In the time I had the free trial, I spent many hours upon hours checking the leaves and adding individuals. I also discovered that findagrave.com is a hugely useful free tool for ancestor research. You’ll commonly find birth/death dates, obituaries, and grave photos on findagrave.com. Another good resource for family tree research is familysearch.org.

The fundamental disagreement between Plato and Socrates was the subject of what was Real. That was the most exciting element of my college Philosophy class. Plato believed that he had to feel it with our senses for it to be real. Much like our current scientific method, we observe with our senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. So it was real to Plato if you could sense it with one of those senses.

Socrates was a teacher of Plato. His Theory of Forms is covered in Plato’s Dialogs. Socrates seemed to believe that everything came from master molds or forms or ideas somewhere else. Socrates believed the forms were where you should devote your time.

My professor took off on a rant about the Matrix movie.
