Social Networking

These days most of us belong to some form of social networking.  It simply makes things easier for us to stay in contact with our loved ones all over the world. Not only this - its availability and convenience have made it one of the most powerful marketing tools for individuals and companies.

I have heard that in some cases some people who don’t have social networking accounts for when applying for jobs, have been disadvantaged. It is now the accepted norm that you will have such an account.

I am sure that you (like me) know someone who has, in the heat of the moment, put some comment online which later came back to haunt them (perhaps you yourself have done this) - perhaps this involved your employer, family or a friend. We develop as people but our daily recorded life is static.

Death

For many of us the death of a loved one is unexpected, and whilst we can put in place wills and testaments to safeguard our reputations in death as in life, I have to pose the question: What happens to our ‘On-line Lives’ when we are gone?

I guess that what I am saying is that we have to make sure that, whilst we are still alive,  we have the right systems in place to remove these social accounts or we might just ‘live on’ in the virtual world. This is a strange place between life and death. I think that the image I have chosen represents this very well.

Removal of Accounts

Removal of accounts is not that easy, and by merely submitting a request is not going to help.  A number of social networks require the following information before deleting an account:- 

• The deceased person's birth certificate
  
• The deceased person's death certificate
  
• Proof of authority under local law that you are the lawful representative of the deceased person or his/her estate
  

The question remains how many of us have a copy of our birth certificates?  Needless to say, if we don't want our info on the internet post death, we will have to get systems in place to have it removed once we die. 

Memorialising of Accounts

Some social networks leave the option open to memorialise accounts.  In some instances "friends" are allowed to leave messages on these "walls" and even send messages.  Regardless, this remains a sensitive issue: For instance, you might want to remove your husband’s account, but how do the other family and/or children feel about it?

Online Info

Personally I'm very careful when it comes to sharing personal info online. At the end of the day: Will the generations after you really be interested to read about your fights with other family members or about the pizza you had?

We are often "forced" to join a site on the internet, because many of these sites don't give any details without an account. In how many of these instances did we just leave the site and never deleted our personal info? 


If we return to our image, we are well aware that there are robots developed to do household chores, require the minimum maintenance and can ’’live’’ forever.  Are we the living negligent, and are we creating a footprint to be the Undead in the virtual world?

If you have not yet discovered whether you’re an old soul, read some of the revealing signs below.

1.   You tend to be a solitary loner.

Because old souls are disinterested in the pursuits and interests of the people in their age groups, they find it dissatisfying to make friends with people they find it hard to relate to.  This is one of the major problems Old Souls experience.  The result is … old souls tend to find themselves alone a lot of the time.  People just don’t cut it for them.

2.   You love knowledge, wisdom and truth.

Yep … this seems a little grandiose and overly noble, but the old soul finds himself naturally gravitating towards the intellectual side of life.  Old souls inherently understand that knowledge is power, wisdom is happiness and truth is freedom, so why not seek after those things?  These pursuits are more meaningful to them than reading up on the latest gossip about Snooki’s latest boyfriend, or the latest football scores.

3.   You’re spiritually inclined.

More emotional old souls tend to have sensitive and spiritual natures.  Overcoming the confines of the ego, seeking enlightenment and fostering love and peace are the main pursuits of these young-in-body Mother Teresa’s.  To them it seems the wisest, most fulfilling use of time.

4.   You understand the transience of life.

Old souls are frequently plagued with reminders of not only their own mortality, but that of everything and everyone around them.  This makes the old soul wary and at times withdrawn, but wisely dictates the way they live their lives.

5.   You’re thoughtful and introspective.

Old souls tend to think a lot … about everything.  Their ability to reflect and learn from their actions and those of others is their greatest teacher in life.  One reason why old souls feel so old at heart is because they have learnt so many lessons through their own thought processes, and possess so much insight into life situations from their ability to quietly and carefully observe what if going on around them.

6.   You see the bigger picture.

Rarely do old souls get lost in the superficial details of getting useless degrees, job promotions, boob jobs and bigger TV’s.  Old souls have the tendency to look at life from a birds eye view, seeing what is the most wise and meaningful way to approach life.  When confronted with issues, old souls tend to see them as temporary and passing pains that merely serve to increase the amount of joy felt in the future.  Consequently, old souls tend to have placid, stable natures as a result of their approach to life.

7.   You aren’t materialistic.

Wealth, status, fame, and the latest version of iPhone … they just bore old souls.  The old soul doesn’t see the purpose of pursuing things that can be easily taken away from them.  Additionally, old souls have little time and interest for the short-lived things in life, as they bring little meaning or long lasting fulfillment for them.

8.   You were a strange, socially maladaptive kid.

This is not always the case, but many old souls exhibit odd signs of maturity at young ages.  Often, these children are labelled as being “precocious”, “introverted”, or “rebellious“, failing to fit into the mainstream behaviors.  Usually, these children are extremely inquisitive and intelligent, seeing the purposelessness of many things their teachers, parents and peers say and do, and either passively or aggressively resisting them.  If you can talk to your child like he/she’s an adult – you’ve probably got an old soul on your hands.

9.   You just “feel” old.

Before putting a name to what I felt, I experienced certain sensations of simply being an “old person” inside.  The feelings that accompany being an old soul are usually: a feeling of world wariness, mental tiredness, watchful patience, and detached calmness. Unfortunately, this can often be perceived as being aloof and cold, which is only one of many Old Soul Myths.

Just as some old people describe themselves as being “young at heart”, so too can young people be “old at heart”.

Dear Neels,

With regards to the reading you did for me.  As most people would be, or could think, this could be another ‘story’ or wanna be fortune teller.  But this was very far from the reality ..  Neels, you told me things, that you could not have known about.  Your predictions, whow, what you told me is going to happen, again whow, and another whow. 

So far, as scary as it could be or sound, it all came true.  And that, although I have had a warning about it, it is still scary to see it happen in front of your eyes.  I could just sat back, and literally hold my breath, by the accurate and honest reading.  I will never ever doubt your word ever again.  But most of all I would like to thank you most sincerely, for always being there for me, in tough times and your effort to just listen to me. For always coming back to me.

You were not just there to receive a payment, but, I can honestly say, you are always there for me. Although you are a  very busy man with must be thousands and thousands of clients, you still take time out of your day, and listen, and respond.

I must be honest, I have been to other people before you, but can honestly say, they are no match to you.  Your readings is so, so accurate.  Like.  You asked me about hubby and his jealousy,  you could not have know about it, or guest it in a million years, but it is so accurate.  The work situation, you warned me about it, you told both of us what is going on here, again, you could not have know about the situation. All I can say, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Just to all those who could have doubt your readings. People, this man Neels told me a tragedy in my family, I asked a question and his response was not what I was hoping to hear.  The period in his prediction,  ????? but when it became a reality, that was just the cherry on top.  Thank you again from the bottom of my heart Neels.

Thank you Most sincerely

Felicity and Cedric Mills.

I would just like to give a testimonial with regards to Neels.

Always professional and dedicated to his work. It can be any time, he will always be available with advice and assistance.

He will go out of his way to make sure you are happy with his service. I can recommend him to anybody that needs some guidance in their life path.

Thanks Neels , you are my light on my dark path.

Helen

One of the fans contacted me, post contacting a psychic via the internet.  The psychic replied with the following:-

Then the fan had the following options to choose from:-  

There is also a detailed form with personal details to be compiled, there are numerous Astrology Programs that can be bought over the counter and I suspect these details are used for these programs.  At the end of the day, clients that do pay for this, get a “report with general info”

If we look at the options in the list, I can only say if these psychics had all the answers to people’s problems why are they still working and not retired and wealthy? 

Things goes wrong in life, if we don’t have our cars checked by a mechanic before a long trip, chances are very good that something might go wrong.  Is this bad luck or laziness from our sides?  This does not mean that evil attacks us!

These services also cost an arm and a leg, they are not cheap.  The thing to do these days is to give people a “Free Mini Reading”, shock the living daylights out of them and “force” them to do a full reading.  Why don’t I do mini readings?  In the first place they don't give an overall view of what is expected in the future.  A good example of this is..... “There is financial difficulty for you in January and a lot of stress on your marriage.....”, yes we overspend over Christmas and the children needs to go back to school.  With the next pay cheque everything is fine again.

If any person starts to threat you block their emails.  Don’t fall victim to this.  Before consulting with a psychic check out the references and make sure the psychic is genuine and has your best interests at heart.

If we return to the inspirational image, I just hope that things won't be as bad for the clients as what is feared.  She might also have a long road to walk like the man in the photo.  Who knows the might be her psychic awakening?
