If you are like a lot of people, you have probably dated a lot of people who share the same or similar spiritual beliefs as you. In many instances this is not even discussed if a relationship does not go very far, but if you have been dating someone and you really like them and you just found out that there faith is much different than yours you may have a lot of questions. What if you get married, what sort of ceremony would you have? How would you raise children? How would you spend the holidays?

These are fair questions but before you totally weird out, you need to slow down a bit. You need to spend some time thinking about whether or not you are comfortable proceeding with someone who does not practice the same religion as you.

Some people feel very strongly about this, and there is nothing wrong with it. But, before you have a knee jerk reaction you should really stop and think about the possibilities in front of you. You may find that you are more accepting of someone with a different religion than you may have ever thought you would be.

Dating someone of a different religion doesn’t have to be a negative thing, even if you are a very spiritual person. Instead, this can be something that helps you grow as a person and become even stronger in your faith. You can learn more about their religion and what they believe and you can teach them about yours. You may find that you had a lot of misconceptions about their religion and you will be expanding your mind as well as opening your heart to something new. You don’t have to take on their religion, but you can both share with one another.

Through this sharing process you may find that your religions have a lot of things in common. You may find that you are both able to keep practicing your faith without impeding the others beliefs. This can be a growing experience for the both of you, and many people have been able to build successful relationships despite differences in their religious beliefs.

If you get married you can make compromises, if you have kids you can teach them both religions, and on holidays you can each incorporate both of your beliefs. You just need to be honest about the way you feel and let your partner know how you are feeling. Being open will allow you to both ask questions, voice concerns, and plan for the future. Religion does not have to impede your relationship, in fact it may allow you to grow in new and interesting ways!

How to Easily Manifest Your Desires
By Becky Kimes

I would like to begin by posing a question: Are we human beings having a spiritual experience or spiritual beings having a human experience?

I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. But what does this really mean?

To me, it means that all of us are direct extensions of source or universal energy. This is the creative and powerful energy that makes everything from the tiniest grain of sand to the star systems that we are not yet aware of.

This alive and intelligent energy magically connects us to everyone and everything in the universe. This intelligent energy becomes apparent when you are thinking of someone and that person calls you within minutes, or even seconds.

Or you see the perfect pair of red shoes in a catalogue and know that they will look fabulous on you. Later that day you decide to try a new restaurant for lunch for no apparent reason. In the shop next to the restaurant you see your perfect red shoes in the window. We call such occurrences coincidences or synchronicities.

Think about your last coincidence. Now you know that it was source energy in action.

Because we are extensions of this energy we too possess powerful creative abilities, even though we may have forgotten that we have them.

You can activate control over your manifestation capabilities. Manifesting is your natural ability to have your thoughts physically materialize into the world.

You are already a powerful manifesting being. Whatever you are thinking about, and feeling is already being manifested into your life right now. You are always manifesting something whether it is a romantic date, a new pair of shoes, financial debt, a car accident or an exciting new business.

Whatever you focus on expands and you bring more of it into your life. The key is to focus on what you want and release all the doubts and resistance you may have regarding receiving your desires.

Remember I said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Being human means exploring, experiencing and enjoying all the wonderful material opportunities that are available to us.

What possibilities do you want to explore during this lifetime? Take out at least three clean sheets of paper. Make a list of all that you want to be, do, or have. List at least 30 items under each category. Are you ready to manifest them and bring them into your reality?

Manifestation is bringing spiritual possibilities into material form. It is just as easy to manifest a million dollars as it is an empty bank account. It is your creation simply by the focus of your thoughts.

Become crystal clear about what you want to create in your life. Your absolute clarity will assist in allowing and strengthening your connection to source energy. When you do this, your wants and desires manifest easily and naturally in perfect timing.
