Spiritual Reality

The two simple words, simple enough to read but complex enough to understand and achieve!!

I have used the term 'Spiritual Reality' coz every human being right from birth till death experiences it but not all the people will be having the knowledge to understand it.

Actually, If we look back at ancient times when there were Rishi munis (according to hindu mythology), they were so powerful and knowledgeable that led to understanding the mysteries of life and they possessed such powers that we couldn't imagine. In fact, we (human beings) possess all those extra-ordinary powers as well as the knowledge which the great ones had irrespective of caste, creed and religion. But, the society which we live in has led to such changes in mankind that we gradually forgot everything just like the case of degeneration of limbs in snakes.

In fact, Approx. about 6 inches above our head region there will be a invisible string that will be connected to our higher self. So, now the question arises as what this higher self is..??

France bans Facebook and Twitter from radio and TV

In France, radio and television news anchors are no longer allowed to say the words “Facebook” and “Twitter” on air. The ban forbids the promotion of commercial enterprises on news programs  by the French Govt.

 

This means French news organizations are not allowed to urge their audience to “follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/xx” or “check out my Facebook page at facebook.com/xx” Instead, they will have to say “find us on social networking websites” or tell viewers to “check out our webpage ‘at this URL’ to find links to our pages on social networks.

Twitter: Instant Notifications

Whenever an account that you follow mentions you, you’ll immediately receive a notification. You’ll know who is talking to or about you on Twitter, and you’ll be able to continue the conversation in real-time. Notifications for @mentions will initially be available on SMS.

 

To turn on SMS notifications, go to twitter.com/devices and check the boxes under “Text message notifications”. You can change your notifications settings at any time. For example, text “set mentions all’ to turn on notifications for @mentions from everyone, rather than just those whom you follow, and ‘set mentions off’ to turn off @mentions notifications.
