Funeral Rites And Rituals

By Sarah James

Funerals around the world are characterized by a many traditions and rituals. Funeral offers an opportunity to the family of the deceased to pray for his soul and learn to cope with their loss and sorrow.

Church rules govern rites of funerals in Christian communities. However, given the fact that there are more than 200 denominations of Christian communities, the traditions can vary depending on the allegiance of the family.

The very first ritual in a Christian funeral that is conducted before the actual ceremony relates to assembling around the deceased for a night and reciting prayers for the dead. This important tradition is called wake. According to present-day standards, this is the moment when relatives and close friends can pay their last respects to the deceased person. The body is properly preserved and kept either inside a Church or at the home, and the time of visit is specified. In earlier days, the second stage after wake used to be that of absolution, where a cross was placed on the deceased's body and offertory, which held the presents given by visitors, and the person was ritually absolved of the sins of this birth.

The following stage is the actual service itself in which the dead person is put into a coach and taken to the Church, where the priests and others chant prayers and hymns from the Bible. Then, the priest calls upon a friend or family member to give a eulogy or tribute to the departed's life. Some Christian communities have tolling of the bells as an integral part of the proceedings that signifies the end of ceremony. Following the funeral proceedings, the casket is taken to the burial site where a burial service is held before the act of burial.

Finally, the family members arrange for a lunch for everyone who has attended the funeral. The main objective of this custom is to partake in the grief of the family and support them so that they can come to terms with the loss.

What Is Hypnosis And How It Can Help You

By Vanny Jones

Hypnosis is a process by which an alternate state of consciousness is achieved without making use of any external chemicals or drugs of any kind. Hypnosis is thought to be a state of relaxation during which the person grows more receptive to suggestions. This idea has led to many uses of hypnosis, of which hypnotherapy is the foremost.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic procedure in which the subject is hypnotized by the expert. The therapy generally aims to remove negative thoughts from the person's mind.

An expert in hypnosis understands human psychology well too, with a deep knowledge of the human brain. Reasons harming a person's capacity for growth are thus known to a hypnotist, and he effectively deals with those root reasons by substituting them with positive thoughts.

It has been observed that hypnotherapy cures people of all types of addictions. High levels of stress, pain, depression, and low levels of self-confidence also find their solution in hypnotherapy. Even child therapy falls under the domain of hypnotherapy, as it is able to easily treat common childhood problems like bed-wetting and nightmares.

Hypnotherapy also helps in professional life by curing psychological issues at the workplace and thus notably improving your levels of productivity and performance. There are countless examples of people from all walks of life who have gained from it immensely. The process will find out and replace your fears of failure with confidence and positivism. Renowned politicians and business tycoons have undergone changes in their personality through hypnotherapy, and have gone on to become excellent speakers and experts in relationships, thus excelling in their careers.

Self-hypnosis is a very popular branch of hypnosis. It helps a person to make a trip to self realisation and cures all his negative thinking, setting him well and truly on the path of success. It is also an excellent way to relax and can be practiced periodically as a form of mental exercise. A hypnotic session lasting a single hour is equal to 8 short naps, hence hypnosis is also a good way to recharge your cerebral batteries and feel rejuvenated.

Hypnosis is not black magic, as many people wrongly believe. It has strong roots in psychology and science in general. The subject is sent into the state of altered consciousness by just recommendations, without the use of drugs or chemicals of any kind, and therefore hypnotherapy is totally safe as well. It is highly recommended for persons of all ages who want to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.

Hypnosis - Unraveling The Mysteries Behind It

By Winnie Cox

Myths have always chased hypnosis and its therapeutic offshoot, hypnotherapy. People either believe them to be falling in the domain of the occult, or don't regard them to be serious scientific endeavours. Following are some of the well known misconceptions about hypnosis and the reality behind them.

There is no practice of occult involved in hypnosis. It hinges more on the science of the human mind and is very easy to practice for anyone who is prepared to learn it. The authenticity of hypnosis is suspected even by people who have watched it casting its spell on subjects. They hold that those who can be hypnotized are somehow weak mentally. But nothing could be farther from the truth. Even mentally strong people can fall under the charms of an expert hypnosis practitioner.

Another notion about hypnosis that people have invented arbitrarily is that it is an alternate state of consciousness. A hypnotized individual is totally aware of his environment. That person is just in a relaxed state where the concentration levels are very high and the person can accept suggestions easily.

Some researchers have concluded that hypnosis works on just 5% of the world's population, and this is another common myth. Researchers have come up with this low percentage because they have used the identical hypnosis procedure on all subjects without considering their individual natures. Hypnosis can't be oversimplified like that and works only if there are different approaches for different personality styles.

Many people take hypnosis to be a form of meditation. But while hypnosis is an interaction technique, meditation is all about a state of mind and generally has no communication involved in the process. Similarly, a period of trance is also sometimes confused with hypnosis, which is not correct. Just like meditation, trance is a state of mind, and it is not associated with communication in any manner, on the other hand the very crux of the hypnosis method is communication.

It is commonly thought that hypnosis training or hypnotherapy cannot cause changes in physique or in behavioural patterns of a person. Hypnosis is obviously not wizardry that it can change the physical appearance of a person just like that. But by mentally conditioning an individual to abandon addictive behaviour like eating too much and constant smoking, and by heightening one's motivation levels, hypnosis can bring about significant physical changes in a person and ensure a healthier body.

Undergoing hypnotherapy is a good way to lead a happy and fulfilling life, and thus one must not pay heed to the misconceptions, and go for hypnotic sittings with an open mind.

What Your Body And Soul Crave

By Masami Sato

As the proverb goes, health is wealth. And in this instance we are talking about the wealth of the human spirit. Good food is necessary for our health because our body is able to absorb its full nutrients - it is exactly so with our life. When we accept life in its sum total, relishing all its phenomena and sensations, our soul will be able to imbibe its entire range of 'nutrients', comprehending the full meaning of our existence, and letting us live our life to the utmost. Masami Sato shares the secret of living a full life in this excerpt from her latest book, ONE.

Why is it many of us (in fact, most of us) occasionally experience some kind of empty feeling in our life? It is like being hungry. When we eat, we feel satisfied and become less interested in food. But as some time passes, we get hungry again. Then all of a sudden we feel so attracted to the smell and thought of food. We can also feel some kind of hunger when we are not even physically hungry-just after eating something. Some of us stay being hungry all the time.

Constant emotional hunger is not the most pleasant thing to have. Then, how can we live our lives to the fullest? How can we be more satisfied permanently?

Maybe the answer is simple: just live our lives as a whole. The word 'whole' holds the meaning of completion. Then the secret to live a complete life is simply to live it as a whole.

Let us begin by looking at an example of this 'completion' with something very close to our mind - our stomach.

Whole Food VS Part Food

We are used to the usage 'whole food.' People say that taking whole food is the secret to the vigour and wellbeing that we require. How is whole food better than 'semi food?'

A complete grain pulsates with a life of its own. If one keeps the complete grain in water, drains it off and keeps it for a few days, it germinates. It has got a full life. When we consume such an item, our body absorbs the full spectrum nourishment. It has the ability to clean, cure and nourish various body cells.

As in the example of a grain, most conventional dining includes having whole creatures as well. Having entire fresh fish used to be more popular than taking a portion of fish and throwing the balance away. It was ditto for poultry and also for vegetables.

'Half food' sometimes has more sweetness and flavour but not much other nutrition. We like its taste, but we could develop a long-term illness if we only ate 'half food' every day of our life.

So, to balance the missing part, we started to take dietary supplements. We have been studying and researching for a long time to find the perfect balance. It gets more and more complicated as we chop the food up, preserve and transport, and even try to balance with other parts coming from different sources, regions and seasons. Some of the nutrients even come from non-food items. They are chemically generated. After analysis and testing, we approve it for human consumption. But no matter how hard we try; we cannot put all the 'bits' together to make it come alive.

Part Life-'Sweetness' of Life

So, if we perceive our life now, much of what we are doing can be similar to eating the 'part food.' Just enjoying the sugariness of life but jettisoning the real nutritious part. And if we put our 'part life' in water with other pieces and left it in the sunlight, could it germinate and grow into a beautiful complete life?

Whole food is not (as some people perceive it) poor in taste. It is actually tastier when we prepare it properly. But while the demand is low, it is more expensive. It is actually more economical in the long run though, as we have less medical expenses later on. When more people start eating it, it will naturally become cheaper because it is a simpler food with less processing and waste.

Our life is identical. When we are only conscious of the 'sweet taste' and discard the remainder into the dust bin because we do not realise its worth, we may be jettisoning the most important component. And that which we cast out could have the maximum power for the substantiation of our life and our financial system. It also needs more vigour and sources to throw it away. Better yet, that which we throw away comes at no cost.

So, what is it that we do not perceive?

Picture a life where we didn't in fact believe that we were lacking anything there.

The secret is right here. The secret of a complete life.

Whole Life-The Complete Life

When it is 'entire', it does not matter how large the entire is. It can swell concurrently. It can still hold within it all the parts to support itself as a full living being. Once it matures into a specific size, it can manage to live even without some of its components. Like plants can survive even after being consumed a bit by birds or trees can flourish even after they lose their leaves. But if we disregard the proportion for a very long time, ultimately it can begin creating a critical inequity. Then it could become too problematical to come back to normality.

We don't have to go back to the Stone Age to find the wholeness. Wholeness exists right now. All we need do is look closely; look closely enough to really see.

When we start seeing our life as a whole and stop throwing away what nourishes our life the most, we start feeling more and more fulfilled without looking for 'things' to fill holes and dents of our life. Everything finally falls into place. We now understand the mechanism of our world in a very different way.

Yes, it is now time to learn how we can form (and find) this equilibrium constantly and manageably.

The actual enriching part of our life is what makes us feel fine deep inside. It is like that portion of food that makes us hale and hearty in the final tally. Sensations we experience in our daily life are the real answer to our lasting joy. And there are sensations that make us feel more full.

The smiling visages we see when we acknowledge the merit of others. The happiness we feel when we give others gifts. The tenderness we feel when we see our children being happy. The motivation we get when we sense that our life is full of substance ..

Let us internalize these moments of our life totally and relish the flavour of our entire life. Then we will perceive how it is not so imperative to constantly fill our heart (and tummy!) with physical indulgences - those types of things that only increase our cravings afterwards.

We can actually sense this pleasure, gratefulness and ardour in order to be aware of life as a whole at any moment despite the conditions. It is not about what we find, what we learn or what we accomplish that finalize our life in its entirety. It is about what we 'elect to' experience about our life.

Yes, our life indeed is already absolute.

When we start taking actions based on this understanding, we can become true masters of the balance creation-long-term health, wealth, nurturing relationship and happiness.

Discover The Easy Way To Earn Money

By Robert Hall

I don't know about you but looking at current events and the newspapers makes it look like it's impossible to get rich at this day and age. It's like you should be grateful if you are able to earn money enough to fulfill you and your family's needs and anything more than that is being lucky.

Friend, get yourself out of thinking that way. This belief will lower your quality of life for sure. It is a strange thing that we invest so much of our finances in education yet most school systems are sorely lacking the correct principles on how to make money effectively.

Wealth is not an heirloom set aside for the few families who know the right people and have amazing skills to offer. Sure, many individuals were born with a lot of money but that doesn't mean you can't get rich too. Anything is possible if you want to bad enough.

Let's think about this for a while-how were some people able to become rich despite the seemingly overwhelming odds against them? Imagine, Oprah Winfrey was a strong woman of minority with a tragic past; she defied pre existing paradigms and set on to build wealth and her own empire as well.

It is important that you realize for yourself that it is easy to earn money and become rich. You ask, how is that so when there are many poor and needy people in the world? These economic problems stem from the fact that we still need to learn how to make money the correct way.

You don't get wealth by belonging in the right gender, age or even nationality. It starts from the inside and manifests into your reality. Wealth begins in your mind. Develop your prosperity consciousness and riches will start to make its presence felt in your current reality.

A deeply ingrained prosperity consciousness will trigger your behavior to support the beliefs you hold on to. Money is the payment for any good service or product so aim to be an excellent worker to everyone. Purpose to invest in the quality of life of the people around you and you will find that the same will be given back to you in greater measure.

Build wealth by harnessing the power within you. Guard the thoughts that you think and your attitude in regard to the situations around you. Abide by these principles and you will find that it is indeed easy to earn money.

What is Hypnosis and How it Helps Humanity

By Ray Bonanza

Hypnotism is better-known as a enhanced period of suggestibility which enables the subject to interact positively to the propositions of the hypnotizer. This mental state is usually induced with the cooperation of the subject by another individual - the hypnotist. Induction directions or suggestions plays a respectable role in causing hypnosis and can be administered by the subject or the hypnotist.

The induction executed by the subject is referred to as self hypnosis. And when used for remedial purposes, it is normally called hypno-therapy. These are modern facts about hypnotism that is agreeable among most hypnotists and psychologists. One of the most familiar misconception is that a hypnotic state is tantamount to unconsciousness or sleep. Even So, this is far from true and in fact, the subject is conscious and in a state of very focused attention even though peripheral cognizance is importantly weakened.

In the beginning, hypnosis was connected to animal magnetism and mesmerism and after many decades saw it being realigned away from them. In 1843 a Scottish physician and surgeon called James Braid, was the first to bring attention to the hypnotic state. In his book Neurypnology, Braid represented hypnotism as a state of pure physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration though he later disposed this description as misleading.

Hypnotic induction is usually used by hypnotists as an opening to produce a state of hypnosis. This technique is applied to the subject in order to stimulate a complete state of relaxation in the subject. While it is not always needed, yet it is well admired as one of the most effective and common tools in a hypnotist's tool kit. There are numerous types of hypnotic induction techniques used by hypnotists to intensify client expectation, re-define their roles and create focused attention, to name a few. One of the most common technique is the eye fixation technique originally used by Braid and it is still widely used today. You also have the reclining posture, relaxation of muscles and also optical fixation succeeded by eye closure.

Hypnosis is highly regarded in creating several medical and therapeutic benefits. It is widely practised as hypno-therapy for that reason and assists in easing of pain, managing skin diseases, weight control, reducing anxiety, psychological therapy, habit control and can also enhance performance in sports. Hypnosis can provide some required benefits to all human psychological, emotional problems and sicknesses.

It is a disgrace that a great majority only knows hypnosis as stage entertainment or entertainment through TV and films. Several of the bad reputation attached to hypnosis can be attributed to this mis-use. The most general misconception is that hypnosis is mind control, which is a far cry from the truth. Fortunately, the credibleness of hypnosis and its applications has improved vastly in the last decade. This betterment will continue to increase as research is also confirming its usefulness in the treatment of several ailments and diseases.

Learn To Be A Dynamic Student

By Dr Jay Polmar

BE DYNAMIC through SPEED READING methods makes what you read become a part of long-term memory. This is caused by intense concentration. Intense concentration causes the altering of states of consciousness which, in turn, accesses long-term memory.

Another factor is photographic or tape-recorder memories. You have the potential to remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't paying attention to what was said. Your brain/mind, like a computer, stores all memories.

As you start to learn the various methods used in the BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING, you'll notice learning skills improving quickly! It is techniques repeated over and over, with visualization and various other added methods that will help you achieve the results you desire and be the best you can possibly be.

All of this will make you a better student, employee, communicator, and decision maker in your life. And only one of your benefits will be that you will cut reading time on reports, memos, correspondence, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, magazine, etc. You will save time, and the saying goes ..."time is money".

If you didn't know this, let me clue you in to the reality that writers get paid by the word in articles and by % of gross sales (royalties) in book publishing; usually the thicker the book the higher the price and the higher the royalty. Writers are unnecessary verbose. What this means is there are many words within sentences that are just there as fillers; what you have to learn to do, through the Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading program, is only read the words that are essential.

Dr. Jay Polmar taught the "Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading" program to share these valuable tools with students to help them get the most out of their reading experience. In the past two years he has worked with other educators to bring students the Perfect Learning System (www.perfectlearningsystems.com) which includes Be Dynamic, mind mapping comprehension and memory supports, plus special speed reading software developed to match the Perfect Learning System.

Theirs A Little Rebel Trapped In Each Of Us

By L.J. James

Whenever a person or group of people try to live their lives free, those who are stuck in unhappy lives will be jealous. Some people have a hard time letting go, freeing themselves from the day to day trials and tribulations of everyday life even for a little while. Others seek an escape from the stress and anxiety often associated with modern day life.

I guess for me, that's part of why I am a Biker. There is something about riding a bike that inspires a sense of freedom in me. The open road, the wind in my face, the smells, getting back to nature, the power of my bike. It's all these things and more that make me feel free. It's unfortunate that there are some people who, for whatever reason, can't find something or someway to let go and experience the sense of freedom that we do. These people, for whatever reason, are the ones who point to us and call us rogues or rebels. They say that what we are doing is wrong and that our culture is a "disruptive influence."

As Bikers, we live our lives a little differently. We work and have responsibilities, but we still know the feeling of freedom. Maybe its because we smile just a bit more and are a bit more relaxed that turns these people green with envy?

A person who works hard and has no free time sees a person on the road riding his or her motorcycle and thinks "I wish that was me!" The thought of being free doesn't leave their mind. They long for it. They crave it badly! How many of you out their have had a friend tell you how they have always wanted to buy a Motorcycle and just go out riding? How many of them ever actually do?

Here is a typical story : A man is driving home from work when he see's a group of motorcycle riders pull up next to him. He looks at this group of people riding together having a great time, He starts to think, "I wish that was me". He then decides, "I'm going to buy a Motorcycle!" He starts thinking about riding. How great it will be to have his wife on the back of his bike and the wind in his face. We could ride up to the lake or maybe that little motel way up in the Mountains. Thinking of the great times he will have he starts to feel that small sense of freedom. He thinks "This must be what those Biker get to feel, Wow!"

He turns into the driveway, parks his truck and rushes into the house to tell his wife about his fantastic idea. "Hi honey, I'm going to buy a Motorcycle." His wife looks at him and says "What? Did you get overwhelmed by the fumes at work again?" "You can't ride a Motorcycle. The man answers back, "I'll learn!"

"You must be crazy", she says. "Those things are death traps! You will kill yourself and we can't afford it!" "Honey this is something I really want" replies the man. "NO NO NO!!! I won't have one of those things in my house! What kind of message would it send to the kids, our neighbors?"

They argue about it, but it the end, the man never gets his motorcycle. He never goes to the lake with his wife or takes that trip up to the little motel in the mountains. He never feels the real sense of freedom one can only get when taking a long trip on a motorcycle. He spends the rest of his life wishing he had never seen that group of Motorcycles. He is angry and bitter.

Now when he see's Bikers he puts them down. He hates Bikers, not because of who or what they are, but because of what he can never be. He hates them because of what they represent. They represent a kind of freedom, sense of belonging, a oneness with nature and the world that he longs for, he craves, but can never have.

We live here in America, the home of the free, but many are not free. They have never experienced the sense of freedom that can only be experienced on two wheels and, for whatever reason, never will. They live boring, uneventful. "safe" lives and complain about those who don't.

Don't hate these envious people, pity them for they will never know the sense of freedom and brotherhood we get from riding with a group of our Bro's. They'll never know the wind in their face, the feeling of peace and oneness with nature we feel as we ride threw the country side or down a long lonely highway. They'll never know the clarity of mind that comes from a long ride alone or the closeness and bond of a long ride or weekend away with someone special. Just thank your higher power that you've found a way to escape, a way to be free, even if for some it's just on the weekends.

Ride Safe and Ride Free because when it all come down to it, this is all about the Ride!

Learn To Speak German Easily

By Bart Icles

A lot of people numbering approximately 200 million or so from all corners of the globe presently speak the German language, half of whom are native Germans. It is officially spoken in German, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland, and other nearby and neighboring countries, and other far-flung places where German nationals have relocated and resided. While it may be true that learning how to speak German is difficult, if not downright impossible as most people may think, the German language per se is far more similar and closer in nature to the English language in comparison to the other many languages of the world.

But, with the correct educational materials, and with a properly motivated outlook, and with the right personal dedication and drive to go with the desire to learn, virtually anyone can learn to speak the German language in not time at all. Here are some few helpful tips to make the task easier and simpler to do:

Get an English-German and German-English dictionary as a quick reference guide to learning German. Dictionaries of this sort can be purchased at any local bookstore or from some online sources for beginners and intermediate speakers. With this in hand, you can quickly access many words and phrases to places where the German language is spoken and written. This can be anywhere from German restaurants, offices, supermarkets, specialty stores, and the like. One secret to quickly and easily assimilate the language is to make it a part of your daily routine, review it as needed, and practice it when the need arises.

Get a German audio course from a variety of common media sources such as, DVD's, CD's, and tapes in audio and video formats, so that you can actually hear the words as it should be properly spoken. This way, you'll learn how the words sound straight out from the mouth of a genuine speaker of the language. Sources like these are very effective as it makes use of the repetition method so that you can immediately get familiarized into starting speaking German words spoken in normal day to day life. Take note to saying the German words and phrases out loud and to review them constantly to let them stick in your mind.

Allow yourself to be in the company of German natives and German speaking individuals by going to places like German restaurants, specialty shops and stores, as well as listen to German programs and music on the radio, and to watch German films. More importantly, you should enroll yourself in a German language course to further help you become trained and adept with languages' nuances and other difficult areas that most English-speaking individuals find hard to hurdle on their own.

Learning To Become A Clairvoyant Online

By Deborah Reed

Did you know many individuals are learning to become a clairvoyant online? Others are using websites on the internet to enhance their basic clairvoyant skills. Who would have thought modern technology would meet the paranormal in such a fashion?

Clairvoyance is a sixth sense that is deeply embedded in all our brains. For the great majority of us it will simply remain dormant all our lives and we will not even be aware of it. For others it may surface unexpectedly from time to time in the form of premonitions or dreams or feelings of dj vu. For a minority, they have strong clairvoyant abilities that are unfocussed. For those who wish to develop and focus this rare gift, it is now possible become a true clairvoyant online.

Interestingly, clairvoyance is something that has been around since the beginning of civilization. Sometimes feared and misunderstood, and other times revered and honored, clairvoyants have helped many famous people reach critical decisions that have affected our history. Yet now this age-old practice is meeting the very modern technology called the internet. And people can use the internet to discover more about the topic of clairvoyance and even how they can become a clairvoyant online.

Clairvoyance is the use of the so-called sixth sense to determine events or facts about the past, the future, or something that may be happening in the "here and now", but on the other side of the world; but all without the use of any communication technology of course; through your mind only. For some people, it is a near death experience that can act as the catalyst for clairvoyance, for others it can be a stressful or even dangerous situation that occasions it. But to be able to find, focus and fully develop this paranormal activity, clairvoyant online sites can now be found that help to nurture this ability.

In the universe, all things are connected-the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and even the molecules and atoms that make up every part of every thing. Clairvoyance helps you tap into this universal source of all things in an almost spiritual way. Everything is already there and all around you all the time, but in order to perceive it, you need to disconnect yourself from the material world.

You must achieve a sense of calm and empty your mind so the communication may be received. Many clairvoyants or people who want to discover their clairvoyant powers use yoga and meditation to prepare them. The clairvoyant sites online teach specific techniques for helping to prepare the mind and clear your thoughts to be receptive.

Before you can follow the techniques learned via clairvoyant sites online, you must first accept and believe in clairvoyance and the paranormal. If you do not believe, you have no foundation on which to build your clairvoyant skills and abilities. You need to go back to the mindset you had as a small child when everything was possible, before you became attuned to doubts, misgivings, suspicion, and untruth.

When you believe, you will be able to achieve the meditative state required to open your mind to the possibilities of clairvoyance. You will focus on achieving this sense of calm and well being, free from all negativity. And then you are in a place where the universe can communicate with you-through sounds, feelings, words, thoughts, or images.

Clairvoyant online sites will also help you learn to recognize and understand the communication you may receive. Initially those messages may come to you in bits and pieces, seemingly unrelated and perhaps irrelevant. But all knowledge of the universe is relevant in some way. You just need to figure out what it is.

So these sites help you learn what the signs you receive mean and how to interpret them. The first thing these sites will teach you, however, is critical-and that is this: You must never try to force the process or the result. As soon as you consciously begin to try to direct or control the situation, you will lose all touch with the universal truth and power you seek to embrace.

If you are a complete novice, the process will start gently. You may for example just see a color, feel some sort of external emotion, or even hear something. You may of course see a whole event happening in front of you, but only if your mind is totally clear and uncontaminated will you know it is true clairvoyance. But once known and experienced, you will know it forever.

Better Grades With Speed Reading

By Jay Polmar

People sometimes get frustrated because they fall behind when reading and learning due to the huge amounts of reading material they must absorb for school or work. So many books are being written worldwide, that readers sometimes have difficulty keeping up with the production of fiction and non-fiction works. It can be really fascinating trying to keep up with it all " dont you think.

In the rapidly changing and highly competitive business world, with new products and services, and new upgrades introduced every week, speed reading really comes in handy. Most corporate millionaires now read two or three business related books every week. Thats a lot of work for those unfortunates who dont have speed reading abilities.

SPEED READING enables people to learn up to twice or three times what they normally read in the same time.

Reading researchers in the past determined that the brain is competent of comprehending and cataloging from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute. The length of a unit is about one word. The body's five senses are receptors for data, which it transfers to the subconscious mind to be recorded for posterity. When the conscious mind needs information, it is recalled from the subconscious. Then it surfaces the necessary data for processing and use, much like a computer.

An interactivity exists between the brain, which well just imagine is the computer CPU, and the mind which consists of thoughts and memories. All information gets processed in such a way that we can learn it.

The information that we receive, process and evaluate comes from our five physical senses. With that data, our mind makes decisions, choices and judgments. We learn through our five senses (i.e. sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste), which are already pre-programmed to respond automatically.

A good example of pre-programmed action: Consider the example of the teen boy who smells pizza and what his reaction is. It is similar to Pavlov's dog, because his senses send a message to the brain in the form of a thought.

The perception of feeling our favorite food is a mental exercise, compared to the reaction of swallowing which is physical. Therefore, brain and mind is where the action is and the body is where the reaction is.

Learning this method of speed reading will encourage the use of three of the five senses. That is a method that will strongly influence your mind to remember, recall and understand; beyond that, well teach you Methods for becoming a better and more efficient reader.

Follow the instructions and you will become a speed reader who loves to read and increases the quality of his or her own life. We expect great, positive successes from you with great improvements in many areas of your life.

Statistics: The average American high school graduate (I know this sounds strange, but many are graduating without the ability to read at an eighth grade level), reads at about 200 words per minute. A college student reads 20% faster at 300 words per minute. It does not matter what your baseline or beginning reading speed is, your potential reading speed after using these techniques will be faster and your potential is truly unlimited. This is because scientists who have researched the human brain/mind agree that our potential is unlimited. Double-triple-quadruple your reading speed, theres no limit.

You can expect to learn how to get your greatest potentials as a reader, business person, student, etc. This is because you're becoming an avid speed reader and a complete success in life.

Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading will assist you become totally unlimited in your power and ability to do, be, and have all that you desire in life, whether its great grades or financial success. Dr. Jay Polmar is the Master of the art of speed learning, accelerated learning and speed reading and has helped over 100,000 students worldwide become perfect learning machines.

Finding A C Programming Networking Course Examined

By Jason Kendall

There are a range of options in existence for trainees wanting to find a job in the computer industry. To help you decide on a good match for you, look for a company with advisors who can help you find an ideal career for your character, or at least explain what the job entails, to confirm you've found the right one.

There's a big selection with these training programs - from Microsoft User Skills right up to training programs for web designers, networkers programmers etc. Take some counsel before you dive in - talk to an advisor with experience in commercial IT. Someone who can help you select the ideal job path for you - that's both relevant to industry and will prepare you for a career you'll enjoy.

The latest training methods currently allow students to be educated on an interactive course, that is much cheaper than traditional courses. The great value of the new courses means anyone can afford them.

You should look for accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system included in your course.

Be sure that the practice exams aren't just asking you the right questions from the right areas, but additionally ask them in the way that the actual final exam will structure them. It throws students if they're met with completely different formats and phraseologies.

Mock exams will prove very useful as a resource to you - so much so, that at the real thing, you don't get phased.

For the most part, a normal trainee doesn't have a clue what way to go about starting in Information Technology, or even what area is worth considering for retraining.

Consequently, if you've got no background in the IT market, how are you equipped to know what any qualified IT worker does each day? Let alone arrive at what certification program is the most likely for you to get there.

Consideration of many issues is vital if you need to expose a solution that suits you:

* Your personality can play a major role - what things get your juices flowing, and what are the activities that put a frown on your face.

* Why you're looking at stepping into computing - it could be you're looking to conquer a life-long goal such as self-employment maybe.

* Is your income higher on your wish list than anything else.

* There are many markets to choose from in the IT industry - you'll need to pick up some background information on what makes them different.

* Having a good look at how much time and effort you can give.

In actuality, you'll find the only real way to research these matters will be via a meeting with a professional who has experience of Information Technology (as well as the commercial needs.)

Kick out any salesperson that just tells you what course you should do without performing a 'fact-find' so as to understand your abilities and level of experience. Always check they have access to a wide-enough range of products so they're actually equipped to solve your training issues.

In some circumstances, the training inception point for a student experienced in some areas is often massively different to someone just starting out.

Working through a user skills module first is often the best way to get up and running on your IT programme, but depends on your skill level.

A fatal Faux-Pas that potential students often succumb to is to choose a career based on a course, instead of focusing on the desired end-result. Schools have thousands of students who took a course because it seemed fun - instead of the program that would surely get them the job they want.

Avoid becoming part of that group that choose a course that seems 'fun' or 'interesting' - and end up with a certification for something they'll never enjoy.

Get to grips with earning potential and the level of your ambition. This can often control what precise exams will be expected and how much effort you'll have to give in return.

We advise all students to chat with experienced industry personnel before following a particular training programme. This gives some measure of assurance that it contains the relevant skills for that career path.

Learn About Singing Lessons That Deliver More than Voice Tutoring

By Seiss Taylor

Doug Derrickson who performs singing lessons through a vocal training organization he started many years ago, is quoted as saying that the voice is comparable to a fingerprint. Not only is every person's singing experience unique, but so is their instrument. No two human beings have the same instrument. Each of us is gifted at birth with a one-of-a-kind vocal mechanism. Therefore, students who take these voice lessons from Doug are trained that everybody commences coaching at a different spot on the adaptability scale.

Certain instruments are more adaptable or hold physical attributes more suitable for singing, much in the similar way a 6 foot , 6inch man is more malleable to playing basketball than a 5 foot, 7 inch man. Not only is your singing experience unique, your singing instrument is astonishingly complex and different from all other musical instruments.

When learning to sing, students who take Doug's singing lessons must necessarily improve key singing skills, but in addition the singing instrument must go through dramatic change. In short, to become a excellent vocalist, you must expand your singing skills, and adapt, renovate, and build your instrument.

Doug teaches a very encouraging thing when you begin the lessons and that is the truth that the majority of people own the tangible characteristics necessary to be a first-rate lead singer or choir singer. You should be adjustable to the singing process. This is good information on all fronts! You would not have come this far if you were not interested in singing and improving the instrument you sing with! The initial thing you should recognize is these are two separate processes. A person can own a impressive voice and sing terribly while others may sing like a songbird but have very dysfunctional or unfortunate voice attributes.

Apart from the individual with a chronic medical condition of the singing instrument (larynx or voice box) or the one who cannot hear pitch (which is rare), the remaining vast majority is suitable for a life span of singing makeover and vocal health. According to information given in his singing lessons 9 out of 10 people that give you the old "I can't carry a tune in a bucket" line, could be developed into outstanding singers.

As Doug takes his students through his singing lessons, they discover a great deal about the voice and how it is controlled. You see the voice is controlled by involuntary muscle, which do not counter to direct commands. The voice box and larynx only respond to indirect commands. A desired result can be achieved however, when the physical conditions requisite for a response are met. Good vocal management is achieved through interacting associations. The results are astonishing in the production of tone and the coordinated responses within the vocal instrument. This is principle teaching and is the manner in which one will reach their vocal goals.

The direct method of training and the indirect method are utterly opposed to one another, Doug teaches this and that the voice is a reactionary mechanism. He forms his opinion on the idea that access to the laryngeal muscle happens through the relationships between intensity, pitch and vowel.

While going through their singing lessons students learn exercises that balance, align and divide the vocal registers. This results in vocal freedom and beautiful tonal qualities to the voice. When this harmony is reached among vowel, pitch and intensity the mental poise can break the surface in the physical because of the cooperative rapport and give reproducible responses of their singing mechanism.

Explaining What A Lucid Dream Is

By David Lancaster

In simple terms, if one has a dream and they're actually aware of the fact that they're dreaming, then that is known as a lucid dream. In the context of dreaming, 'lucid' means being aware or conscious. The lucidity of a dream however can vary dramatically depending on the dream itself and how much influence you have in controlling the dream.

It is this last point which is by all accounts the most astounding quality of a lucid dream, given that you are actually able to identify the fact that you're busy having a dream. Is it not remarkable that one can actually control the direction of your dream, and that you're not restricted in any way whatsoever?

Just for a moment to try and imagine what it must feel like, bearing in mind that by all accounts it feels, looks, and sounds exactly like a real life situation. However, the difference is, it's only a dream. Unlike in the real world, one is not restricted by rules and regulations, and neither can one become injured and die in a lucid dream. The bottom line is; a lucid dream is yours. It is your personal virtual reality, and you can be rest assured that even the most sophisticated computers in the world can't provide you with anything similar.

As anyone who experiences lucid dreaming can attest to, it is simply an incredible skill and it's of little wonder that so many people are now beginning to show an interest. Admittedly, practically everyone will at some stage experience a lucid dream but can you imagine being able to enjoy one whenever you wish?

A lucid dream can in many ways be compared to a gateway to the most fantastic experiences, where one is able to meet and mix with your favorite celebrities, or mingle with wild and exotic animals, or even travel to distant galaxies.That's right, you can explore all your fantasy world's or you can visit your lost loved ones.

Unfortunately though, being able to experience lucid dreams on a regular basis is not always very easy. Until recently, the vast majority of people wanting to experience lucid dreaming would dedicate months and months in order to receive suitable training and self conditioning. Admittedly, many of these people did eventually manage to have lucid dreams but for the most part they were very brief experiences, while many people on the other hand never achieved any level of success at all.

Are there any quick and easy ways to experience a lucid dream?

While some people may not agree, others believe firmly that certain foods have the ability to induce a lucid dream. In fact, it's recommended that you have cheese, milk, orange juice and even mustard immediately before going to sleep.

Furthermore, it is said that other foods such as pickles, popcorn, fish, and even ice cream, can all help those wishing to experience a lucid dream. While these foods may not be as effective as those mentioned first, it is believed that these certainly do help to improve dream recall. Many also believe that these foods help to prepare the brain for future lucidity. The big problem however is, none of these foods will be much good as far as a good night's rest is concerned, given that they are full of sugar, salt, and fat.

Can technology help people to experience lucid dreaming?

Of course as technology continues to advance at an alarming rate, the ability to assist with lucidity improves. In fact one can now purchase certain devices which have the ability to not only stimulate, but also to induce lucid dreaming. From masks to eyeshades, these innovative devices are able to recognize rapid eye movement and in turn they respond with a blinking red diode the minute one starts to fall asleep. The purpose of this is to integrate the beam of light into the dream itself in order to remind the subject that they are dreaming. This in turn enables you to start taking control once you become aware of the fact that you're dreaming.

In addition to these new the innovative devices, recent developments in some technology have also done much in the line of opening the doors to the world of lucid dreams. Just recently scientists have gone ahead and developed a process known as binaural beats; a process which involves playing sound at different frequencies into each ear.

Essentially, this intriguing new process aims to synchronize the two hemispheres in the brain and the amazing thing is; results are almost instantaneous in that rapid eye movement occurs almost immediately when one starts listening to these binaural beats. The state of sleep where REM takes place is of course the state of sleep required for lucid dreaming.

While everyone has their own preferences, this new process which uses binaural beats is by far the easiest and most reliable way for anyone to get started.

Your Amazing Mindpower

By Brian Parry

Did you know that we only use 10% of our mindpower? It's pretty amazing to think about what we could accomplish if we could somehow tap into the 90% of our minds which usually go unused. Certainly, there is a lot of unexplored potential right there in our own minds.

Scientists agree that people who exhibit psychic and extra sensory abilities must be able to use these abilities due to somehow using that 90% of the human mind which usually lies idle. Some people appear to have these abilities from birth but others develop their mind power and start using these latent talents later on in life.

Although the process is far from fully understood, the latest advances in quantum physics are beginning to reveal the true nature of the link between what we think and what we experience in 'real' life.

There are studies which seem to suggest that our minds have more power than we think to shape reality; in fact, it may be that our minds are the determiners of our world, not the other way around.

Popular books like 'The Secret' explain the idea that people can use their mindpower to change the world around them through what is called the law of attraction.

This principle states that there are causes and effects to everything, even our own thoughts can bring about tangible effects if directed properly. It all relies on being able to get your conscious mind to communicate to your subconscious in order to use your latent mindpower to achieve results.

So the subconscious mind is not only responsible for all of the esp powers such as telepathy, remote viewing, and precognition, it also reacts with the 'universe' or what some call the 'universal consciousness', to manifest your desires.

Now the key to the development of your mindpower is to communicate with your subconscious mind. But how exactly do you do this? There are a number of ways.

Affirmations:- Affirmations are a well known positive thinking technique. When you repeat a positive affirmation to yourself, your subconscious begins to understand and begin using your untapped mindpower and start making your wishes a reality.

If you needed to boost your self esteem, you may tell yourself things like 'I am confident and well liked'. If you want to break a habit, you can use affirmations like 'I only eat healthy foods'.

Affirmations produce results with repetition. You need to repeat the message until it reaches your subconscious and begins to make you change your behavior to get the results you've wanted.

If you follow this logic, its possible to change more than your behavior; you can change the world itself by using affirmations to tap into your mindpower.

Visualization:- You can also develop your mindpower using visualization. Visualization consists of closing your eyes and picturing the things you want to happen in your mind's eye. Your subconscious mind responds to the images which you focus your thoughts on and begins using your mindpower to make them a reality. You can visualize anything you want and with practice, you'll increase your mindpower and make it possible.

You can use visualization to help you develop some of the psychic abilities which are naturally present in every human being. You can visualize yourself predicting the future or communicating via telepathy. If you keep practicing, visualization can bring these latent abilities to the surface and increase your mindpower even further.

Hypnosis:- Hypnosis is another well known way of communicating with your subconscious mind and helping to develop mindpower. If you visit a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist they will start by making sure you are totally relaxed and then offer suggestions to your subconscious mind which it will remember when you wake up.

You don't necessarily have to go to a professional hypnotist either. You can use the technique of self hypnosis, listening to a hypnotherapy session which has been recorded. This is far cheaper than going to a hypnotist yourself and of course, you can use this recording anytime you like.

Brainwave entrainment:- This is a new audio technology which is brainwave synchronization. This changes instantly your brainwaves to a certain frequency. This can result in many things. At a certain frequency you can improve your memory. At another frequency natural endorphins are released into your body which heal and alleviate pain.

Other frequencies can assist you to get into a state of meditation very quickly to allow communication with your subconscious mind and therefore the development of your mindpower to take place.

You can also listen to frequencies which are designed to build mindpower by stimulating the chakras " the energy centers located throughout the human body. The 'third eye' chakra located in the forehead is especially important, since this is the chakra which is responsible for psychic powers.

There are psychic powers which are latent in all of us. However, your mindpower needs to be enhanced before these abilities can be unlocked and developed. Otherwise, these capabilities remain deep in the subconscious and are unused.

In fact, when we speak of developing mindpower, it might be more accurate to talk about unleashing these powers which lie inside all of us and allowing us to use our full mental potential.

2012 - The Mayan Prophesy

By Dr. Jay Polmar

Emmerich's film 2012 caused a big panic, and all the disaster-porn films we've seen for the last 50-60 years or so is scaring the heck out of viewers. So badly are they scared of the end that they are watching the same movies of disaster, over and over, with different actors, different titles, and different producers - all aimed to scare you and empty your pockets.

The World Isn't Coming To An End, it's just Hollywood, trying to make a buck.

Let's get real. Let's discuss some of the pin-point targets:

1. The World Will End With Planetary Alignment and the repositioning of the Earth along the Galactic Equator - .... R-I-G-H-T! The phenomena of placement of the stars and galaxies in space is not new. These things have occurred before, and it wasn't the end of the world. Actually, the date predicted, Winter Solstice, 2012 is not as significant as other astronomical phenomena happening before this. This is just fear-mongering of the formerly unemployed ' of the world writers' with nothing better to do than create movies to scare the bejesus out of little kids.

2. There is no Mayan Prophesy says the world is coming to an end. There is no known prophesy that the world is coming to an End and whoever said that should know that it can't be. The records of the Maya civilization were effectively destroyed, like all other Meso-American histories by the Spanish Conquistadors, who just pillaged the valuables, raped the women and then killed the men and sometimes the women, but not necessary in that order. And, what information that was kept - was kept in secret archives to keep the truth away from the public because it would destroy the Catholic Church. The evidence indicated that the majority of the Meso-American population was, in fact, the lost tribes of Israel. This was written by Franciscan Monks at the time of the invasion, and British and other archeologists later. The actual Mayan Prophesy was simple - 'Live naturally, in natural time, or your biosphere (Earth - our mother ship) would not survive. We'll we did it. No lying about that. For the past umpteen years, we have been just like conquerors, raping, murdering, and killing mother earth. OOPS! I didn't do it - you didn't do it - the politicians allowed it - all for greed. Oil, Gold, Silver - rape the earth suffers the consequences. The end date of the Mayan Calendar had nothing to do with the end of the planet, it had to do with the end of an era.

2a. It's important to note that when the Earth was first inhabited there was something of a 3 degree axis tilt and the planet was green, and water blue, and life was abundant. What by the name of God have we done to our mother?

2b. And now, YIKES, we're at 23 degree wobble now. Yes, something is happening, changes are occurring, but it's not the end. It scares people to think that changes are coming - people fear change. CHANGE IS GOOD!

2c. People will die. Yes, we've burned fossil fuels, destroyed our air, cut down our forests, created deserts where there were none before and previously the planet cleansed itself with great floods. People are dying, we are more aware since Hurricane Katrina, that things are not right due to global warming, and Tsunamis, great floods, and thousands more deaths in countries where floods were a rarity.

2d. And there are many species are dying. Faster than ever before species are disappearing. One indication that might be considered, or two, are the frog population which began disappearing a few years back, and the bees. We are impacting nature and we don't step lightly - our footprint is huge and visible, and we are destroying all of life without mistreatment of our mother.

2e. There are more diseases now, more horrible, more incurable - a sick society and planet produce all forms of diseases.

3. It's human nature - It's obvious that the nature of the human being is to conquer. The continuous development of warfare, atomic, and nuclear weaponry is solely aimed at the destruction of mankind and hurting the planet. Previously, we had been the only big bully playing with nukes, now every schoolyard bully has them and someone is likely to play war games just to demonstrate my 'thingie' is bigger than your 'thingie'.

3a. The Belief in Ancient Religions - I must mention this, because this is the greatest manipulation of human beings' behavior on Earth. Sorry, priests, ministers, rabbis, I honor you all for what you know, but your DOGMA is not helping the situation. Each one of you has chosen an individual branch as path of the Tree of Life, and none of you are on the Expressway to God. Please stop telling your people they are sinners - as men of God, many of you have been caught with your own pants down around your ankles and some honey taking some money for some SINFUL and LUSTFUL experience you needed to have. You dirty old sinner you. It may not have been you, but we all know of whom I speak. I am not judging you - just stop judging others and stop playing the blame game which results in guilt. As you know - guilt has absolutely no survival value, it is responsible for many illnesses that do not resolve and result in death. Stop guilting others, or ...

3b. Did You Know That Humans Mistreat Each Other and Mother Earth Too - imagine all the drilling, the cutting of trees, the burning of fields, everything normal and beautiful of earth destroyed by greed to steal the resources and be billionaires, all at the cost of our mother. Imagine our planet as a great big fluffy dog, filled with life. And the dog feels the burring of something drilling into it - just like a flea. And another, burning like burning the trees - the dog begins to scratch and shake fiercely and the fleas fall off. You got a parachute for when this happens to us?

4. The Mayan Calendar - Interestingly enough ends on the Winter Solstice, 2012. Why, not because it's the end of the world - it's the end of the 5th Cycle of Life on the Planet. The 6th Cycle that begins immediately thereafter is an Age of Enlightenment. It's sounds like an exciting time to be alive - so get prepared!

WELCOME - this is reality.

Many of us will fall off, many of us will die. Those who are not prepared, and those who think they are better or more powerful than Mother Earth that we live on, will suffer.

Richard Branson is really making his fleet of Intergalactic Space ships to take the rich and wealthy off the planet, just like Roland Emmerich has set of Arks in his movie. Branson's ticket price is much cheaper.

I'D RATHER STAY HERE ON EARTH

In 1987, the Harmonic Convergence, which was written about by Dr. Jose Arguelles, and my participation in it - by doing long travels through endless ruins, culminating at the El Tule Tree in Oaxaca in Mexico, spoke the prophesy that we had 25 years left of life as we knew it. We must return to natural, non-destructive living. Dang people, we blew it!

Now the cards are on the table. Natural disasters are not caused by nature but by those politicians who paid no heed to the warnings 20-30 years ago. Politicians refused to grant health to the planet at Kyoto and the disastrous earth changes continued.

What can the scenario possibly be -- to cause the end of life as we know it? Who knows, asteroids, meteorites, some crazy Anti-Semitic Iranian ex-president who stole the presidency from the people in order to try to wipe out the State of Israel, some angry Korean president who is dying because of his anger at the United States over a 60 year old situation, or errors by our own major powers in their thinking that nuclear energy is stable enough to survive what our earth going through with hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, while this huge dog is shaking off us fleas.

HOW TO SURVIVE?

Be prepared. More than anything else - it's your mind and soul that need preparation. Since we all know that the soul is immortal, you will survive in one form or another. We have prepared the first of several guides on survival. This first one was just updated Nov. 2009, originally written in 1991 - to help you survive what is undoubtedly going to be a life-changing experience.

Easily Take Any Company Public, Less Than $45,000 Down!

By James Scott

OK, you're ready to take your company to the next level and your CFO and legal counsel have advised you to go public to raise capital as well as to retain some of those prize employees with stock options and to bait that new sales executive with a signing bonus made up of stock options. You've looked into everything from pink sheets to reverse mergers to OTCBB to IPO and you have come to the conclusion you're going to need to take on investors so that you can afford to follow through with your plan. If you're lacking the funds to dive right in and start creating your public structure, here is a way that just about any business can afford to go public.

First, get a real business plan. Your business plan needs to sizzle and reel in the investor and clearly paint a picture of your vision to the investor and their advisors. Next, you'll want to raise an initial round of cash quickly so that you can afford to take your company public without hindering your current company structure with additional ancillary costs. You're going to need something fast and affective; you should consider having a professionally authored private placement memorandum put together for your company.

If you are trying to go public via OTCBB a Regulation D Rule 504 exemption will suffice, if you are trying to achieve an IPO you'll need to go with a Regulation D Rule 505 exemption (pink sheets and reverse mergers into shell corps are not very successful in immediate and long term success so I would suggest you stay away from these structures). Build into the PPM verbiage that you are raising an initial round of capital that will be used to take your company public. When savvy investors see that they are investing in a real, viable pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB formation you will see investors climbing out of the woodwork to give you cash if your business concept is sound.

Next you hire the consultants (usually the same firm that wrote your PPM) to start the process of taking you public. On the PPM your Mini/Maxi should allow you to use capital almost immediately to get the ball rolling on your public company. You can count on a solid OTCBB going for between $75k and $250k and an IPO going for $1M+ so have your PPM written accordingly. If you follow the path set forth above you will notice something extraordinary.

The only out of pocket expense you had was for your Private Placement Memorandum (and your business plan if you didn't have one) and 100% of the capital needed to go public was supplied by greedy investors who are excited to invest because of the quick payoff of their investment when you go public. This process means you can literally take your company public for less than $5,000 (the typical cost of a strategic Private Placement Memorandum. This is a simple, strategic and inexpensive way to get the capital you need for your company quickly, without using your limited financial resources in the process.

Want to Take Your Company Public? How To Go Public Easily 100% of the Time!

By James Scott

There are many ways to use capital without using bank loans, lines of credit and other shady methods like shelf corps and bogus platform scams. If you are truly trying to raise capital for your company here are some simple breakdowns of your options with a quick definition for each one:

PIPE: Private Investment In Public Equity this is used primarily by mutual funds and private investment firms where they buy discount stock in order to raise capital, there are two types of PIPE's traditional where common and preferred stock is issued at a set cap to raise money for the issuer and a structured pipe issues convertible debt.

DPO: Direct Public Offering is when you sell equity shares directly to customers, suppliers and employees.

PPM: Private Placement Memorandum is also known as an offering memorandum takes advantage of Regulation D rule exemptions 504, 505 and 506. This process came into existence with the'33 securities act and popularized in the late'80s, companies can raise money from the public via private placement; there is virtually zero interaction with the SEC after you file form d as long as you stay legal. (most popular form of fund raising).

IPO: Initial Public Offering: extremely expensive, need SOX 404 audits, must have board of directors, quarterly financial reports to shareholders, report heavily to the SEC and 1 out of every 1000 companies that want an IPO actually qualify. I love participating in these but most companies just can't qualify for one reason or the other.

OTCBB: Over the Counter Bulletin Board is an electronic quote system that is the next best thing if you can't go public via IPO, there is minimal red tape to start-ups and small businesses and is legitimized by the stringent ongoing reports to the SEC which keeps investor confidence high (these are extremely solid and I suggest this structure to companies when I am hired by their company or legal team as a consultant as a fast, easy way to raise big capital from the public otc)

Pink Sheet: you can look at pink sheets as the Burger King, while the OTCBB is McDonald's, they are competing OTC mechanisms. Pinks sheets are commonly referred to as penny stock and notorious for 'pump em' and dump em' controversies and a lot of crooked people are involved with this platform. This is not a long term process that will allow one's company to grow, pink sheets companies are typically short lived but it is cheap to set up but not a professional structure that could be upgraded in time to an IPO.

Reverse Merger: a group funds the filing and creation of a public shell, they then sell that shell to a company that wants to go public, the established company merges it's entity into the public shell. The sellers retain around 30% equity after they charge an upfront fee of 300k to 1m. 99% of reverse mergers are successful with the merger, but unsuccessful to bring them to trade and the entity basically just fizzles out.

Taking your company public is actually quite simple and inexpensive when you have the right consultant putting the structure together for you. There are countless ways to raise capital quickly and easily. It's important that you understand your options before you waste time entering into the red tape infested banking system for a loan.
