Anne Rice—Gothic-Vampire-Queen-Of-The-Damned—announced this week that she has quit being a Christian. Her post on Facebook has taken wing like Nosferatu into a moonlit night sky, spreading across all forms of media and generating quite a large amount of murmur and buzz. Here’s what Rice had to say:

“Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of Christianity. It’s simply impossible for me to ‘belong’ to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.” Read the full story

Law of Attraction (def’t:) a term used widely by those of “New Thought”. Refers to the idea that thoughts influence chance. The LOA argues that thoughts – both conscious and unconscious – can affect things outside the head.

I have a tip for everyone keeping in mind the Law of Attraction principle. People may scoff at it, but the idea is really simple (and in some ways, you are a fool if you don’t think it has any credibility. Sorry to be blunt). Think about it: if you keep dwelling on the negative, you are going to experience it. Thinking negative thoughts creates negative feeling which resonates negative energy. The same thing happens with positivity.

A simple way to condition yourself and practice the LOA is by changing your passwords. Everyone has accounts: e-mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Formspring et al which require both usernames and passwords. Change your password to something significant to you. Maybe it is a goal, a dream of yours, an aspiration. Maybe you want a new job (this happened to me!) so change your password to reflect that. Maybe you want a new car. What kind is it? Change your password to that. Maybe you have a secret crush? Who is he/she (I bet they’re cute!) Put their name as your password (I admit that does sound borderline creepy…)

The idea is that every time you type in your password you will reflect on that desire. Thought is an important thing. It can send out energy into the universe about that exact thing, and the more time you type in that password – which people tend to do frequently on a daily basis – the more it will get out there.

Try it out! (Besides, it’s better than “password123″ or “lame33″ or whatever the case may be).

This summer, Kylie Minogue has earned her title as the Modern Day Aphrodite. With her new album Aphrodite, and more specifically her newest single All The Lovers – which was released for download on June 13th and is expected to become a huge summer anthem – Ms. Minogue proves once again that she is the classiest of them all. Kylie has removed the layers of bubblegum pop and delivered a soothing, magical, sultry, and absolutely beautiful song that should be on everyone’s iPod this Pride season.

The video is unexpected – but in a good way. Like always, Kylie remains poised, exuberant, and strong. In addition, the elements of white doves, white horses, and even white elephants keeps viewers on their toes. A crowd of lovers representing all sexualities, races and genders – all in white jockies – lift Kylie up to the heavens, growing and expanding as the video progresses (until, at last, they reach as high as the tallest buildings). However, the sexiness that this video portrays, to me, is not of a raunchy and over-exploited nature, but rather, a pure expression of love, lust, unity and spirituality (although, I would agree that one criticism could be the fact that all of the lovers are models with beautiful bodies. But if you keep with the theme of Aphrodite and her worshipers, it might make more sense). At the end of the video, Kylie releases a white dove and you can see her expression is one of joy and elation.

So what does Kylie have to do with spirituality? Well, I chose this particular music review to include in a space where the discourse is more spiritually-based because not only is the song uplifting; however, I think that the message is powerful and really speaks to the changing consciousness within the emerging generations. Enjoy.

Getting there from any seemingly fixated point and through things you might feel won’t let you go.

I know what it is like to feel like you can never get focused on feeling good. Or that you are so far from where you want to be, you’d never know how to get there.

I desired to find the way there. A true happiness and real turn around in my life. This desire lead me to studying the Law Of Attraction and I became fascinated. I discovered tools and found my way…. and it all came back to good. Read the full story
