What are you working for? Most commonly people work for making a living. Some may work for fame and money. A very few may work for fame alone. Most of us work for Friday evenings. We all are eagerly looking forward to the weekends. Why do we think we are happy on weekends? It’s because we don’t love our jobs. Those who don’t love their jobs only can feel the work boring.

Cover of Work With Passion

Can you do your work without desires? Everyone is working to make money and live comfortably, isn’t it? However the best way of working is working without bothering about the results. It’s easier saying than practicing. If you can work without giving importance to the monetary benefits, all other things fall into place. In other words, if you work hard with passion without bothering about the results, you will get financial success and spiritual success automatically.

How to achieve it: If writing is your job, you should write with passion and complete involvement without worrying about the results. You may write quality articles and may not get the page views you deserve at Triond. The comments you get may not be satisfying. It may take years for you to make it to the Hot Content or you may never make it to the Hot Content. You may not be able to make decent money from your quality writing. Yet, you should not worry about the poor results and keep on doing your work with love and total involvement. Alternatively if your crappy articles get into Hot Content, you should not get carried away by it. In short success and failures should not affect you and you have to keep on doing your work with passion and love.

Worshipping God: You all will agree with me that it’s good to worship God. Bhagavad Gita says we should worship God all the time, not just once in a week or on special occasions. But how can we worship God all the time? Is it practical? Work is God and if work with devotion it’s equivalent to worshipping God. Whatever work you do with total involvement and concentration is Yoga. If Sachin Tendulkar is batting with tremendous concentration and passion, batting is yoga to him. Singing, dancing can be yoga too if done with

Summary: Work is very important for each one of us. Work is equal to God. It’s good if we could worship God all the time but it’s not practically possible in this fast world as we have to spend a lot of time in our work. So therefore we should start worshipping our work. If we do it, we will attain material and spiritual success automatically. Thanks for reading.

Small Children And Past Lives

Believe it or not, kids don’t make up stuff. For example, highly respected scientists, investigators and researchers studied millions of memories of young children between the age of 3-9, who had vivid memories of previous lives, and spoke about past lives in great detail. 

Hypnosis and regression therapy

Hypnosis has never been a valuable tool to find out about past lives. Hypnosis can reach the unconscious mind, but it’s believed that the information kept there by our brains is not real. It has been discovered that the hypnosis can create false memories. That doesn’t mean, however, that this technique should be discarded. If the past life information given by the person under hypnosis can be verified by doing some research, their stories can be considered more serious if there’s some evidence to back up their claims. 

Deja Vu or Spontaneous Recall

It’s hard to explain to others that you get the feeling that you’ve been somewhere before. There are all sorts of experiences and many people tend to believe they are real–they’ve lived before in other bodies, cultures, and centuries.

Conclusion

Past life recall is one of the most bizarre cases of paranormal phenomena. As yet, we haven’t been able to prove or disprove the evidence. Many scientists are unsure whether the information given by some people was somehow given by the subconscious. Unfortunately, there is the possibility of fraud and it’s very important to be skeptical about claims, but the stories will always be fun to read and hear. 

Tarot cards were used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play Italian tarocchini and French tarot – a group of card games.In the late 18th century the use of tarot by mystics and occultists began for the purpose of divination in order to trace mental and spiritual pathways.

The mythic tarot reading,developed  by Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke in 1986 links tarot symbolism with the classical Greek myths.

Tarot comprises 78 pictorial cards which depict the whole gamut of human existence and experience.All that one encounters in life finds expression in the Tarot.Each card has several meanings,which further shift and change in combination with other cards.

The cards possess ancient symbols which connect with the subconscious mind and help it in creating external circumstances to match the images of the card.

To use the tarot cards for healing the mind and creating favorable circumstances,all you need is to take the recommended card for your sign for that year and meditate on it for 10 minutes every morning and night.

You could light an incense stick,or a candle or a ‘diya’ and focus your energies on the card.Try to understand what the card means,and what it is conveying.Feel the emotion that the card evokes and absorb its energy slowly.This way you will be able to build a relationship with the card and impress your subconscious mind with the message which it then makes a reality.

The genesis of the name-Sheng Fui reads like a thriller. The system philosophy as was first built by Sage Hsien Chen Yu was, is denoted by the symbols Sheng for the power of reason and wisdom and Fui, power and lust for love. When it comes to the westernization and therefore commercial exploitation of this system was probably the oldest known philosophy, has one – plenty of clumsy and unimaginative – merely the initial letters reversed: it was from the new Feng Shui Sheng Fui …

As much as this one at first harmless-sounding words like fake smile: the contents of this new heresy comes from a real danger.

Today Feng Shui is a collection of exaggerations and distortions, which result in the sum often the opposite of what they are intended.

The web-www.sheng fui.de wants to expose the dangerous errors of the Feng Shui cult and return to the core philosophy of the actual system, the pure and unadulterated Sheng Fui. On the informative pages you’ll find valuable information about the real and only true Sheng-Fui, which was proven in all world religions.

The ka was the person’s life force. In order for the deceased to be happy in the after life, it was required to leave food, drinks and many other enjoyable things inside the tombs.

The Ba was everything that made individuals unique–it was their personality. The ancient Egyptians thought that the soul would live after the body died, and this would take the form of a human-headed bird flying out of the tomb to meet with the ‘Ka’ in the afterlife. 

The lb was also part of the soul. The lb was the person’s heart. The heart was the seat of all that was good and evil in everyone. The heart was the most important part of the body–the gods judged this part. It is important to note that to the Ancient Egyptians, it was not the brain the center of emotion, thought, intention and will. The heart was the key to the afterlife for this ancient religion. The heart gave evidence about the deceased. The god Anubis and other gods examined the heart during the weighing of the heart ceremony. If the heart weighed more than a feather, the deceased had no place in heaven–Ammit (monster) consumed the souls instead of sending them to hell–it was destroyed forever. 

The Ren was the person’s name. It was believed that the name would live forever as long as the name was spoken. Many efforts were made to protect the name by placing it in numerous writings. To ensure the survival of your name, a magical rope often was used to surround the name and protect it from evil.

Sheut. This was a person’s shadow and always present. The ancient Egyptians believed that you could not exist in this world if you didn’t have a shadow, and a shadow could not exist without a person.

Why part of the soul? Not so sure. Your shadow is black, and the god Anubis was a black jackal perhaps that’s why they made the connection; Anubis protected the souls. 

The last part of the soul was the Akh. The Akh was what made a dead person into a living one– It was a ghost and it was capable of helping or hurting family members.

Reincarnation is the accepting in the clearing of souls and reincarnation and birth, based on the ascertainment of annular aeon in nature. Talking about reincarnation and activation that we alive abounding lives, while conceivably not accomplishing airy maturity, ablution and enlightenment. Research shows that today, one division of European nations accept in reincarnation. In America and Canada, the statistics are higher, and the East is the reincarnation of the base of all religious beliefs, whether it be Hinduism, Buddhism or Taoism.

Although it is claimed that the abstraction of reincarnation came from the east (referred to the Upanishads in 8 aeon BC), in the West we additionally accept actual early, in all the cults of attributes and pre-Christian religions. It is argued that its accepting in the West accompanying with the all-embracing advance ezoterizma although he and his alone acknowledgment to the advance of consumerism and materialism total.

Proponents of reincarnation accept that casual through abounding lives (incarnations) is all-important for airy growth, ablution and final deliverance. In some means they are Christian affliction abode on the alluvial plane, and because the bulk of suffering, there is about and hell. In fact, according to this accepting in a way anybody creates his own hell. We canyon through adversity to purify, absolution the apparition and afterpiece to all-powerful perfection. K God can alone be absolutely antiseptic and aware souls.

Not anybody agrees about what is affective into fresh bodies and fresh birth. The better allotment of rinkarnacionista believes that it is the soul, some bodies anticipate it’s personality with the acquaintance gained, and some anticipate it is the animal spirit. I do not anticipate that reincarnation is a contemporary fad or abstruse fiction. This abstraction is as old as animal anticipation and the ancestry of his consciousness.

The Zero Point Energy Field (ZPEF) is similar to a web or matrix of energy, originating from God and it prevails throughout everything and everyone in the Universe – or multiple universes. It is infinite; indeterminable, without shape, has no sides or limitations of any type. Imagine a film or a page with the ZPEF as an all-encompassing overlay, and/or under-lay that superimposes everything, but is ever present without any limitations, borders, shape, etc.

Other writers like Aaron Murakami – author of The Quantum Key, among many other great pieces – refer to it as Aether; which bears the air we breathe. Or possibly the ZPEF also bears the Aether or visa-versa, which also bears everything else. These books are highly recommended.

‘The Quantum Key’ by Aaron Murakami asks the question, “Where, or on what, do you think the air, oxygen, actually exists?” This question blew me away because I automatically thought, as most of us do, that it is in the air. I mean, for Pete’s sake, just wave your arms around and feel the air. And then it dawned on me; WHAM. If this is the air that I am feeling on my hands and arms, then what holds the air in place; on what does it float; what keeps it in place? This is the Aether that Aaron Murakami teaches about in a small part of his vast writings. For more info on these writings go to – http://oneenergy.qiman.hop.clickbank.net.

Peace and harmony in ZPEF

So then; since everything comprises one life and one creation, all living within one great energy field, one would presume that we are all living one harmonious and peaceful life together; right?. Mmmmm. Afraid not.

This article is not intended to hammer mankind, but we need to acknowledge that we cause perpetual wars, power struggles, religious disharmony, and cultural conflicts. We eternally are trashing our planet through our luxurious lifestyle by way of industrial and electricity production, uranium waste which takes three hundred years to loose its radiation power, petrol driven vehicles and aircraft, space exploration, destroying our oceans through abuse and oil leakage, plastic production and waste, other poisonous substances and gases.

We have reduced the nutritional value of our natural foods through the abuse of and draining of agricultural land, destruction of ecosystems. Not to mention the ever shortening supply of water – our life-blood. And the poisonous water seeping upward from mine shafts and that is running into rivers and tributaries – poisoning everything on our planet.

We need say no more on this.

Mooting skills boosts up the confidence level of the student, so every law student should participate in moot court which is a fun with learning technique,which is ultimately going to give you fruits in future. Mooting requires lots of hard work and efforts with lots of knowledge, that can affect your marks but ultimately will give you an edge among all the other students. It will add value to your CV [that you prepare for fetching a job] and a lot of exposure comes to you. When you participate in International moot courts many companies see you and they decides that they can recruit you during placement, so that is another plus point. No one is a born mooter, this is a technique which every law students learns only after entering into a law school. The more you practice the better you perform.

Moot court is a dummy of original court where law students learn the art of mooting or lawyer-ing. The students are given framed cases on which they have to argue to win the case, that actually happens in real life situation and real courts. It looks like a real court where 3 judges will listen to you while you present your case, after you finish they start bombarding you with thousands of questions.

There is 2 mooters one is counsel and other is co counsel, and there are 2 researchers who should know all the relevant laws and cases related to the case. Mooter is a orator but the actual research is done by researcher. Researcher prepare the things to be presented after doing a lot of research work and mooter presents it before the judge.

History of moot court in India

The moot court culture first was adopted by Britain. India after Independence adopted many features of Britain, be it a language, constitution, cloths and what not.

In 997 there was one university Inns of court which was on the same footing with oxford, nalanda and Cambridge in terms of legal education. That was basically a law school. In 18th and 19th century formal legal education began in America where they followed the same practices of teaching as Inns courts, England. The professors followed the same method of teaching by mooting exercises. Then in 1870 Harvard introduced the case system, thus this was also introduced in mooting culture and the same culture is been followed by almost every college and universities providing legal education.

In India the mooting culture started when Bar council of India organised the Bar council of India moot court in the year 1981. In 1985 learning through moot court became an integrated feature of Indian legal education. And from that time, mooting culture is being followed by Indian law institutes.

Mooting manners

Dressing sense:-  Avoid wearing informal dress, Moot court is a platform which will guide you to face business professionals in future and you are to present yourself in best possible manner before eminent jurists, so in order to be on a safer side wear formal dress [Black trouser, white shirt and black blasser]. It reflects that you have proper knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and you are more serious and well aware about your work. Boys should have short hair, so that you do not need to comb them with your hands during your 10-15 minutes mooting presentation. Girls should make a tight pony tail so that its hair should not fall in between the presentation.

Moot court add value to your CV and it invites a lot of exposure.Moot court is self test of confidence and personality. Thus everyone should participate in a moot court.

Never argue on the basis of the facts of the given case but argue on the basis of laws.

Start up with May it please your honour. Tell the facts to a judge like a story telling. Narrate your favorable points in a simple way. Hide your weak points of facts without suppressing any material facts. Don’t suggest any incorrect thing.Always respect the judge, as he is your god. What ever he is saying is right. Good behaviour toward all will make your way easy as questions can be asked just to check your patience. You should develop good command over speech therapy [including temper, language, gesture and movement of your body] Dressing should be adequate as explained above.

How to prepare

Read the facts of the cases twice minimum and 5 times maximum.

Underline the important things.

Prepare chronological sequence of events

After reading 4th time jot down points that comes to your mind. Jot down from both of the angles one from petitioner’s and other from the respondent’s. Don’t be overconfident, overconfidence will kill you. Always consider yourself a learner learning from others mistake. Be a master of facts, that can only be done by reading 3 to 4 times the facts of the case. Try to put yourself in opponent’s shoes and think like him. Always work in a group, you all will have different points which can be helpful in winning the situation. All people in a group should prepare favorable points for opposition as well and then prepare controversies. Find out where is the exact problem, then try to find out various provisions of law applicable to the given case, then connect the legal provisions to the points in your favour and also prepare defences against the points that opposition can raise with proper proof. Find out the citation of a court or similar judgement delivered by court. If there is no such judgement delivered by Supreme court then try to find out the judgement of High court, If not High court then Supreme court and if neither supreme court nor High court has delivered such judgements then try to cite the judgement by foreign superior courts and International court of justice.

You should prepare your brief after taking care it should be simple written submission. Always focus on your strongest points and try to hide the weakest points. Make your strong points more strong and find out the way from the weak points.

Training

Practice makes a man perfect but only perfect practice makes perfect. Don’t forget the small things while making the presentable submission as small things brings perfection and perfection itself is not a small thing. What to say and how to say is the only art to develop for mooting. Always keep separate documents ready for your oral submission as there is world of difference between what you submit manually and orally.

Always show the legal provisions after you finish your arguments, and never fight on facts fight on laws. Try to read in Between the lines. Explain to judge how such legal provision is applicable to the given facts and situation. Try to convince judge in a very humble and polite manner.

Research

Before you participate in any moot court competition, be sure to have read all the rules and regulation for the participants. The competition rules will give you a thorough guidelines and deadlines as well as the manner in which the memorial is to be prepared. Team work is indigenous part and is very essential. Read the entire moot problem with your team member thoroughly, also read various articles available on Internet related to the moot problem also read full laws that are applicable to such a situation. you can also cite the judgements delivered by superior courts on the matter familiar to your moot problem.

Be prepared with the points that can be raised by your opponent. A good mooter should know what an opponent wants to argue, so it is always better to scrutinize the case carefully and write the defences and facts and arguments  in both of th parties behalf.

Research the law

First read the facts of the case then analyse the background of both of the parties, then find out the dispute between the parties and finally write about all these things. Look at any case mentioned in the problem.

Read articles related to the subject matter of the case, but again articles are only for clarifying your doubts, don’t refer or cite it before the judge and in the memorial refer only the cases and judgements as articles are merely an opinion of the author and thus you cannot fully rely upon it.

Points to remember

Have a research plan. Don’t take any shortcut for your research,the longer the way the better is the research but work smartly. while thinking as petitioner of one side think about the other side too. Stay focused about your objective about what do you want to prove and keep the authority in mind.

International mooting culture:-

Arbitration court is different from other court, Arbitration court is out of court settlement. Initiating a legal proceedings in a court is a time consuming process, it takes many years sometimes even centuries for court to resolve the matter so people find is better to get the matter solved before an arbitration court.

Arbitration moot court is very popular in foreign countries but in India only National law school of India universe -NLSIU Bangalore has such facility.

Like India have precedent, laws and statutes as sources, the sources of International law are International treaties [convention, protocol], customs, General principles and works of eminent jurists.

Terms:

Use Agent or prosecution for counsel

use your excellency for your honour.

compromise means moot court problem.

some strategic points:-

Be clear on the points of jurisdiction. Have wide knowledge of the contemporary issues similar to the moot problem.Cite international instruments like UN resolutions etc. Never forget to mention the citation in the written submission. Be particular about good behaviour as good court manners matters a lot. Jot down the issues on which you have to argue, it should be in your hand at the time of giving presentation so you need not waste your time in thinking what were the issues. Your main Issues can be 1 and can be maximum 4, but you can always divide it into sub issues.

Prepare summary of arguments which is a gist of arguments. Don’t use I use counsel example- counsel wants to present the facts of the case. Avoid saying thank you instead say Much obliged. In order to seek permission say your lord and not sir. Instead of saying yes say Indeed. make your arguments very clear don’t leave any point vague. If judges throws questions on you the stop as soon as judge start speaking then give answer to him to the point and if he asked something which you don’t know then avoid pleading ignorance instead ask them to enlighten you with the matter, it will leave a good impression that even though counsel don’t know whatever asked by the judges but it is interested in knowing it. If your points does not match with the points of judges then never say that you are wrong, learn to disagree humbly, say something like this my honour the counsel begs to differ and my point is this. Before starting anything, seek permission and then move forward.

So before taking part in any moot court competition be it domestic one or an international one, if you keep all these points in mind and work whole heartily then no one can stop you from winning the case.

Overall the moot court orientation session was very informative and interesting.

The “straw in the kettle black.” It’s more comfortable to think that someone else has the qualities you want to deny are within ourselves, for example, projecting their hate everyone else is out to get them. 

We project our insecurities to others, but because many of us do not own or believe in our greatness, also our beautiful project, the parties friendly, powerful and brilliant in others. Project into another person from taking responsibility for yourself. 

THE LAW OF RESISTANCE 
What you resist, persists in his life and energy drains. Accept what you want and feel alive. 

“No”, “I can not”, “no” or “no” are the words that invoke the law of resistance. For example, thinking, “I will not find a perfect partner” resists the perfect couple. Not withstanding the failure or poverty. Instead attract wealth and success. Always understand the positive instead of negative resist. Victim consciousness, “poor me” will result in the Law of Resistance. 

To dissolve a form of thought that have been resisting, write it down and then burn all your fears about it. Then write what you want and start attracting what you want for you. 

If you are having problems with a particular person, look within to solve their own internal conflict, then that person must, under the universal right, leaves his life or change their attitude. 

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION 
You are a magnet: you attract like you. 

We attract into our lives the people and situations that are similar to our own vibration. The universe provides mirrors for us to study. The more vehemently deny that they are magnets for a particular type of person or situation, the more our Higher Self is asking us our shadow. 

The interior draws the outside. If something in your outer world is not what we want, look within and change how you feel about yourself. This allows people and experiences that are attracted to you. For example, when you really commit to loving yourself, the outside will change and that will appeal to someone committed to love. 

Send positive light and hope for a miracle to be attracted to you. 

THE LAW OF GRATITUDE 
Sincere gratitude is the key to wealth. It unlocks the vast resources of the universe. 

When fully appreciate a person for something they have done, that person will feel the energy of gratitude and is so happy for her want you more. When you send heartfelt thanks to the universe for the blessings we have received the divine energy that responds by giving you more blessings. 

KIDNAPPING ACT 
If you want to be free, let go of everything and everyone. It is a prerequisite for enlightenment. 

You can have anything you want in your life, but if your sense of self worth or happiness depends on it, then attached to it. Who or what can be manipulated join. They are no longer free. Cables attachment energy can form between people who have unresolved issues between them, even from life to life. The power cables can also connect people to objects like houses and cars, or even intangible things like a need for love. 

If you need someone to behave in certain ways to love is not love but attachment or conditional love. To dissolve the power cords of attachment to a particular person, that person and forgive yourself for what has happened in the past in order to free the two. Use intention and visualization to release strength of their attachment to objects and intangibles.

This article will look at many of the key words and terms that are used in wills and help you to identify their use and meaning.

As the terminology used in wills cannot be completely covered here, if in doubt it always pays to consult a solicitor, citizen’s advice bureau or associated public body.

 Starting alphabetically, the term “administrator” refers to a person appointed by a court to manage the estate of someone who has died intestate (without a will), with a will that has not included a named “executor” or with an executor who has been appointed by the will who has since died, has been removed from his position by law, or is unwilling to act as the same. The Administrator is an extremely important person in that he oversees the distribution of the assets of the deceased.

If one is the “beneficiary” of a will, this will mean that you are entitled to receive assets or the profits from an estate or trust, usually due to your being named in the will.

The term “bequest“ simply refers to the bestowment of property under the terms of a will (i.e the gift of a commercial property left to persons x,y, and z) to one or more beneficiaries. Bequests are not always outright, but may be conditional upon a certain event occurring (such as marriage, or the coming of age of the beneficiary. NB- A bequests can also be made with the “residue” of a testator’s goods- see: “residuary bequest“).

A “codicil” is a written amendment to a person’s will. These are used when the will-maker themselves want to correct or update some information in their document. To be legally valid, the amending document must be dated, signed and witnessed just as a will would be, and must make some reference to the original testament it is amending. When the “testator” dies, both the original will and the codicil are submitted for approval by a probate court and form the basis for administration of the estate and distribution of the assets of the “decedent“.

The latterly mentioned term, “decedent“ refers to the “testator“, or author the will in the event that they have passed away.

 A “demonstrative Legacy” is a financial inheritance paid out of a particular fund (i.e a trust), or a personal item left as a gift to a beneficiary.

The terms “devise” and “devisee” refers to the gift of “real property” and the one who receives this gift, respectively. This term is notable in that it distinguishes real property legacies from those that are bestowing “personal property” on the beneficiary.

A very common and important term connected to wills and legacies is represented by the word “executor“. An executor is the person either named by the will or by a probate court to manage the estate of a person. Unless there is a valid objection (i.e physical or intellectual incapacity), the judge will appoint the person nominated in the will to be executor.

An estate (the belongings and assets of a decedent) is left “intestate“ when a person dies without having left a valid will. “Intestancy” laws apply to and refer to this situation.

Another key term is: “Legacy“. A legacy is a gift of personal property or money to a beneficiary of a will. While technically legacy does not include real property (which is a “devise”), legacy usually refers to any gift from the estate of one who has died. It is synonymous with the word “bequest.”

The related term, “Legatee” means, essentially, the same as the word beneficiary: a person or organisation receiving a gift of an object or money under the terms of the will of a person who has died. Although technically a legatee is different to one who receives real property (see: “devisee“), “legatee” is often used to refer to anyone who receives as a gift any amount of money or asset pursuant to (i.e in keeping with) the terms of a will.

The highly important term, “Probate“, on the other hand, refers to all matters involved in process of administration of estates of dead persons, typically those without wills that are undertaken with court supervision. Hence, a “probate” court deals with wills that have been typically left intestate.

“Real Property” refers to property (as in houses and so on) and related objects: all land, structures, anything growing on the land, and all “interests” in the property, which may include the right to future ownership, the right to occupy for a period of time (tenancy or life estate), the right to drill for oil, the right to get the property. This is distinct from “personal property”, which is constituted by movable assets (e.g. valuables or other items, including animals) which cannot be categorised as real property, money or investments.

The term “residue” refers to the remaining assets that are left after all other bequests within a will have been distributed. One can include a “residuary clause” in one’s will to direct the content of the residue if you foresee the possibility of assets being leftover from your other bestowments.

A “Residuary bequest” is the gift of whatever is left (the “residue”) all nominated beneficiaries have received their inheritances, and all specific gifts are given; it is also sometimes referred to as a residuary legacy.

 Finally, the “Testator“ is crucial to all wills, being the person who has composed the document and for whom it has been produced.

These are but the most commonly used terms that one will have to familiarise themselves with in drawing up a will. It is advised, as at the beginning of this article, that to fully be aware of the language that is used in a will, that one should consult a legal dictionary, a solicitor or a citizen’s advice bureau.
