This is a curious true story of the Romulus and “Rebus “of the Roman Catholic Church. It brings up questions of karmic pre-destiny and identity .
These brothers, identical twins with shared beliefs, natures, interests and professions lived monastic lives . .Did they choose to be born or…
did they choose to depart at the same time ? Free will and Determinism, Nature and Nurture – all these invented linguistic and philosophical paradigms pale into the realm of intellectual jousting, when faced with the conundrums of the unexplainable synchronicities and so called “”coincidences” of real life.
Their conjoined destinies spiraling in a double helix through the physical and spiritual world, Julian and Adrian took their first and last breaths together. Is this choice or chance ? Did they really finish each other’s “life” sentences ?
Reading like a labyrinthine Jorges Luis Borges’ tale, the brothers’ eternal bonding teases our imaginations in a world, where truth indeed gives birth to things stranger than fiction ! Can two truly live as one ? There’s more to this than our seemingly flat world psychology can explain …

If you are going through a really sad time, a period of unspeakable pain, you may be hurting from the cruel taunts of others and are confused or lost, there is help. By just looking around you in nature can take you out of your self imposed mind torture.

Seeing their beauty can awaken you to their essential inner being , their true nature. “They are like messengers from another realm” with their fragrance “from the realm of spirit”. An unexplainable happiness, amazement and joy overwhelms us when we really look at a flower. Continue Reading
I’ve been really excited about Robert Simmon’s information. Here’s some excerps from his latest book. “The human body is a sophisticated , multifaceted antenna system comprised of a crystalline matrix that is constantly transmitting and receiving (transceiving) all manner of informed energies”….
James I Oschman, who authoured Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis echoes this sentiment by stating , ” crystalline arrangements are the rule, not the exception , in living systems”
“The way to tune this antenna is through the repetition of such practices Continue Reading
We often find, at the end of a long stress filled day, that the mind goes into hyper-drive and continues to hash and re hash the minutiae of the moment. How often do we wish we could turn off the information overload? The ancient Asian sages , 2,500 years ago discovered a secret - Meditation.

Researchers at Yale University found that training in Buddhist meditation for an average of 40 minutes per day resulted in a thickening of grey matter in the cortex of the brain.
Regular practice of meditation was associated with the thickening in brain regions related to sensory,( the way we feel), auditory , (the way we hear), visual , (see) and internal perception such as heart rate or breathing.
The great news is that meditation also appears to slow down the age related shrinkage of the frontal cortex. This part of the brain performs diverse functions loosely called cognition. It is especially important for planning appropriate behavioural responses to the internal and external world.
Meditation techniques are now being accepted as effective strategies for coping with stress in this contemporary society.
