This video discusses how your thoughts develop your consciousness, which determines various ways that you create your future and attract both bad or good things into your life, and how to accomplish or reach the goals that are most important to you. This can also help defend yourself from negativity that may go on around you, or negative attacks from individuals. This is actually an old yogic technique.

This video shows a few points on how the active material creation and the many living beings that are seeking so many ways of self-expression, and the means to attain so many desires, is proof that God exists. Otherwise, why would there be a need of a material creation, or anything at all, if God was merely an impersonal force or great white light only. But we can obviously see that is not the case and that innumerable living beings are all over this planet looking for fulfillment. Thus, there is also a personal creative God playing an active role in arranging this creation.For more information about Vedic spirituality, and the many books of Stephen Knapp, see www.stephen-knapp.com or http://stephenknapp.info or http://stephenknapp.wordpress.com

Economics the Vedic Way: An Introduction to a Wholesome System. This looks at the basic principles of how to provide a more balanced system of economics according to the Dharmic lifestyle, in which everyone can more easily attain what they need, lead a simple but happier life, and have time to develop themselves spiritually and investigate the real purpose of human existence. We see that many people today are completely absorbed in trying to make enough money to meet their basic needs, and often living in fear that they may lose their job and everything they have acquired in life if they do not have enough funds to keep paying for all of their expenses. This is not a wholesome system, but allows the few wealthy elitists to lead a pampered life at the expense of others. This video explains a little about the Vedic alternative so everyone can benefit.

Everybody at some point thinks about death and dying. It happens to everyone. And unless one understands the spiritual perspective of death and the opportunity in it that can help us reach our long-term destiny, death can be a fearful topic for some people. But it does not have to be that way. This video offers a different and spiritual view of what the transitional process of dying can offer, which allows us to go from one realm into another if we utilize it properly, which can relieve a person of any fear of death, as explained in this video.
