Hindus believe that all living creatures have a soul and they are all part of the supreme soul. The goal is to achieve moksha or salvation, which ends the cycle of rebirths to become part of the absolute soul.

Disincarnates or Ghosts are beings who have died but have not left this Earth plane. Disincarnates love our children’s Light, a child’s light is bright and full of energy; the Disincarnate is attracted to light. If a disincarnate has attached itself to your child, his or her behavior can be so out of whack with what is considered normal it can lead him or her to taking some sort of drug to control the behavior or numb his or her outlook if you are not paying attention. Are you present? Are you paying attention? If you are present and aware you will realize your child is not being his or her normal self, look at your child or the person you are working with; you may feel or see a presence near them.

  3 kings, 3 wisemen, 3maji - who were they?  Here is some pretty interesting history. I have included the video on this blog so you can watch it. Join the channel it is really informative, especially if you like history!   Let’s talk about Herod - Herods life was recorded everything he did, everywhere he went and the laws he upheld.  If there were Three kings who went to visit Herod it would have been a big event and chronicled by his scribes. That is a huge brag to be visited by three kings and there would have been events happening when the kings visited.  There is nothing in his history that says Herod ordered all the babies to be murdered because they might be the 'king of the Jews'.  I am not saying Herod was a nice guy. He was a ruthless politician. The land he ruled was also under Rome, during Julius Caesar’s lifetime. The Romans were all about writing their histories.  Now that we have got Herod down, let’s look at the beginnings of Christianity - there was ab
