This was the worst idea and I will never do it again. When Google finds multiple pages of the same content it will put all pages into dispute, which means Google may temporarily remove all of the duplicate content (including your original) from the search engine results pages until they decide who the original site/author is, or which site Google feels would be the best to display this content. If Google finds multiple pages/sites of the same content it will only index one of those pages/sites. After a day of high traffic you may find that all content disappears for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks whilst Google has a dance and makes a decision. So this can threaten the entire existence of your pages in the Google index.

Some say that if your syndicated articles have a link back to your own site- then you will be fine and it will help maintain and improve your page rank. But then any website that shows your article may loose their site/pages in the index. Also the article submission websites may not like this and end up deleting your articles, and all your content may be seen as spam by search engines.

Google is quite good at determining who the original site/author is, however at the end of the day having syndicated articles duplicated from your website content is not benefiting anybody at all. When lots of different publishers start using your duplicate content articles then this will severely threaten your pages existence in the Google index and undermine the exclusiveness and integrity of your content and website.

So far today I have been deleting all duplicate content from all article submission sites and emailing these sites asking them to remove the duplicate content. The lesson here is that although we like to look for the most efficient path in life, there are never any short cuts. If you want something in life you have to pay the bill in terms of hard work and energy.

The scary thing is that because some of my content is interesting and well written a lot of companies would like to publish this on their website. I am now in the process of telling webmasters that it would be detrimental for them as well as my own site to post this content on their website.

It is more safer and easier just to write unique articles for these sites, which don’t duplicate any website content. With a link back to your website, web publisher’s can then do what they like with your articles and this will help your page rank. If you follow this method it will save you a lot of anxiety. The best syndication is RSS news feeds, which I will be spending a lot of time on over the next few months or so.

In my current situation, I have not been taking my life very seriously. After making the wrong choices by going to university and graduating I have completely crashed in life and have failed to become strong and have a strong career development plan. Recently I have not been concerned about my life. I have been fully engrossed in my spiritual mediation processes to the extent that I have neglected the rest of my life. I have been treating life as just an illusion. Most of my free time is dedicated to austerities. This is a good thing because it means I want to become a master healer, spiritual teacher and One with God.

However this should not mean that I have to neglect my life and choose one or other- my life or my spiritual process. One of the goals is to make my whole life a part of my spirituality. There is no reason that I can not live my life happy and to the full. So far I have just been ignoring my life. I envy some people who have the freedom to live in India and dedicate their whole time and life to spirituality. But now I have got to wake up from this illusion.

Wake up call

In real physical life your job= your love. Your work is strongly related to your love life. If your love is not flowing in your work then it is impossible to truly fall in love. A man should not put his weakness into a womans heart. She can not be truly happy in a relationship with a man who does office work/ administration/ management or boring government jobs. A man has to do a real job that creates real useful products or services that meet true and basic needs.

A man has to be a strong foundation for supporting a family. When a man has a strong job and foundation with skills and qualifications to find work anywhere at anytime- then a woman can easily fall in Love. Subconsciously a woman likes to feel secure that this person can father her babies and take care of her-to provide food, love and shelter and to make happy.

At the moment I do not have permission to fall in Love, until I develop a strong foundation in life. Jesus has thrown some energy at me. His message is, “you can not put your weakness into a womans heart”. It is my duty to change my work. I am looking to change my career /job. But where do I start?

I am currently looking at my past experience and qualifications. My education, qualifications and skills are in psychology, publishing, design; and radio, video and film production.

My Goals

• My number one goal is ultimately Love, to become one with God.
• My career goal is to become a spiritual healer, councilor and teacher.
• To be strong and free in life.
• Have a happy life and family.
• Live in excellent vastu.
• Bring spirituality to the world through media, such as publishing and radio.

I do not have permission to take spirituality to TV or Radio until I have achieved at least Nirvikalpa Samadhi- a breathless state of God union.

What should I have done?

I should have avoided mistakes such as going for short cuts in life, easy money schemes, looking for easy work, or avoiding real life work, going for selfish reasons such as fame and fortune. I should have avoided laziness. I should have created and offered real value in my life in terms of my job, skills and qualifications.

I have wasted 7 years of my professional life. Instead of going to college or university I could have saved the money together and worked and traveled around the world before settling down to do an apprenticeship to gain real experience and qualification in a chosen field. When I left school I should have gone straight into a real life job, like construction worker, engineer or mechanic for instance. True happiness in life is a result of being strong and independent doing a job that is useful. Your job is your Love. When a man is happy and strong he can really enjoy the sweetness and fragrance of his beautiful lover.

If I had been more wise and avoided mistakes… if I had planed for a happy spiritual working life in my five year development plan… if I had worked to be qualified and gained useful skills and qualifications for an anxiety free life, then I would be married with children by now.

My five year career development plan

My five year plan is to have a family and to be strong in life- in terms of the work that I do. In the next few months I will be researching job areas to find real work to do that will enable me to be all that I can be and provide for a family. I might take night classes to become a plumber for instance. I will also start doing healing and spiritual counseling work for an honest donation. I shall be growing my website to reach people who are suffering, and really work for the people. But the bottom line is, when I go to work it has to be a real job, like counseling, healing, farmer or construction worker etc. If necessary it will have to be a lower salary and I will have to reduce any spending costs. This is a price I am considering for happiness. Hopefully I will get a good monetary return for the quality and usefulness of my work.

I hope that you can learn form my mistakes when it comes to developing your 5 year career development plan and aim for a real life happy job and career for the spiritual happiness of your family. Maybe you can avoid wasting years of your life by going to university. Or maybe make a headstart in life when you finish school or college and get into some useful work.
