When we realize that as we deal with our own individuality we are dealing with Self-Conscious Mind, and when we realize that as we deal with subjective mind we are dealing with the Universal Subjectivity, we see at once that we have at our disposal a Power compared to which the united intelligence of the human race is as nothing; because the Universal Subjective Mind, being entirely receptive to our thought, is compelled by reason of Its very being to accept that thought and

Spiritual Insight from Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks In the British television soap EastEnders, an elderly character called Dot says that at lonely times in life, she always had herself, so that she was never totally lonely. Her conce about the fact she’s aging is: what if she loses herself as she grows older? All of us are going to lose what we think of as “ourselves.” It’s an inevitable part of aging. Eventually we shall irrevocably surrender up this mortal form we have experienced.

Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince Where does your motivation come from? You hear people urging, “Get motivated!” And there are all kinds of tricks you can use to develop a degree of motivation. The Little Prince’s visit to the fifth planet and his talk with the lamplighter reflects the condition of many on our own planet, Earth. The lamplighter is driven by his orders—instructions he was given long ago, but that today no longer match his reality.

We will say, then, that in Spirit man is One with God. But what of the great Law of the Universe? If we are really One with the Whole we must be One with the Law of the Whole, as well as One with the Spirit. Again psychology has determined the fact to be more than a fancy. The characteristics of the subconscious mind of man determine his Subjective Unity with the Universe of Life, Law and Action. THE SUBJECTIVE OBEYS THE OBJECTIVE In the Subjective Mind of man we find a law

The start of a new decade is a good time to take stock of our quality of life, of our accomplishments and our ongoing goals. For example, just take a moment to cast your mind back over bygone years and check out what happened to those New Years’ resolutions you made. You know the ones: the diet and get fit plans; the financial and career goals; the step up, step out, de-stress and have more fun plans; the live life more fully goals that we’ve all had at some time or other. If

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's. ~ Henry Ward Beecher Life is a journey, a path we take to self discovery and higher learning. Our dreams, wishes, and goals place us on this path and keep us moving forward. Everyone embraces their journey differently. Some set goals and aggressively beeline towards them. Some take a more passive approach; hope, dream, pray, or simply wait. Either way, most adults, those who have the will to live, continue to look toward a more pro

rnThe nature of the human being is LOVE. We spend an amazing amount of time trying to find it outside ourselves. I have most of my life been living my own personal myth. I now know this personal myth is an aspect coming and resulting from beliefs that I have accepted about me. Could personal myth that we all accept be the reason the gives fear monopoly rule over our lives? The feeling of love is absent in most of our lives. It is a journey of discovery to find internal harmon

If you are not living a joyful, passionate, spiritually fulfilling life, then your spiritual growth is the single most important thing you should be focusing on right now.

Focus, focus, focus! There is power in focus! How many times have we all heard that? I know I've heard that many times in my life. As a creative person, I tend to have so many ideas flowing through me at once that it is difficult to focus on just one thing at a time. Because of this, I've been referred to as being a bit "scattered". Does that sound familiar? There are many times in life where our energy can appear to be scattered....and not only "appear to be" but in fact, truly is. How many of us have obligations in various aspects of our lives?

To know our Soul Work, we must experience the world through a divine perspective which means we must know our archetypes and how they influence our daily lives. From a Psycho-Spiritual model of consciousness it becomes evident that our archetypes create the very foundation that uses symbolism as a language all its own! This symbolism shows up everywhere, in our dreams, in artwork, through myths, in movies, in advertising and of course within all our dynamic relationships. As

This week we will explore Satya, the practice of truthfulness and the second tenant of the Yamas. This is the practice of not deceiving oneself or others. Being truthful with others and with ones self is extremely important on the spiritual path, as the goal of yoga is to know the ultimate truth.

It is really interesting that this major portal of energy has received little discussion about it. Usually, in searching a date on something as major as this; there would be a ton of information available; however, until I got the right combination of words in NOTHING was coming up. Why would it be kept so quiet? What is it that “they” don’t want you to know about?

Now before you get all upset about the fact that I mean you have to give up, that’s not what this is about. We have great plans for ourselves most of the time and we have a good idea of what we want out of life, where we see our life going and how it will all play out. And most of the time it is with great success, lots of friends, a lovely place to live, a great car and surrounded by family. These are all wonderful aspirations, but what happens if these things do not come to pass?

Man reenacts the Divine Nature on all three planes; he is self- knowing in his conscious mind, creative through his subconscious mind, and has a body. He reenacts the Trinity of Being. Man is in perfect unity with the Whole. His conscious mind is his understanding of God; his subjective mind is the use that he makes of the Universal Creative Medium; and his body is one with the Body of God. There is but One Mind in the Universe, and man uses It. Man is an identity in the Un

Past Lives Remembering my own past lives through hypnosis regression and meditation, brought new understanding to the life I am now living. Sometimes it seems as if your life just is not making sense, even to yourself. You may have a fear of or even an attraction to something that is not explainable within the experiences of the life you are presently in. Have you ever met someone and either knew that you knew them before, or had an almost immediate dislike of someone you have barely been introduced to. What is up with that?r

Door Room Shui…if there were only ONE thing that any student should do, what would that be. Oh, yes, keeping the clutter cleared was right up there. Implausible as that may be considering the age range we’re dealing with. And making sure the bed if OFF the ground so Chi can circulate unde eath is quite critical too. In fact, keeping a separation between studying and the bed is pretty important too.

The angry eyes and the balled up fists of the boys surrounding me was confusing to me. As far as I knew, I hadn’t challenged them to a fight or insulted their parents. So, why all the hostility? It was 1955. I was 12 years old, skinny with incredibly big feet and Black. They were white, maybe a couple of years older, and very angry. It looked like they were salivating at the thought of beating me to a bloody pulp. “What are you doing in our neighborhood, nigger?” their words matched the hateful energy that was pouring out of them. I could almost smell the animosity directed at me.r

An excerpt from the book What is Man. The title is not the title of the chapter.

Some people prefer these ways : 1. Eat correctly. Food has more related to our moods than we believe. When our blood sugar is low, we are able to get crabby and tense. Don't miss meals (especially breakfast), and choose foods with protein and complex carbohydrates, and also hardwearing . blood sugar levels even, instead of spiking and dropping. 2. Have a B-Complex vitamin. B vitamins are crucial to some healthy central nervous system. Take one every day, and whenever you have

Tranquility Through Faith and Healing Honor Your Sacred Soul: How might you define your Sacred Soul? More importantly, can you hear what it wants to say? Your Sacred Soul is your deep connection to source. It’s the original blueprint of the truth of who you are. It is your eternal guiding force that takes you where you need to be. As you follow its direction, its one of intentional tranquility that forms the path toward deep-spirit healing. As you embark on this journey, yo

Questioner: You often use the phrase “Conspiracy of Ineffectiveness.” Will you explain what that means?

"You must build up by faithful daily exercise, the true Love consciousness, and all the rest of spiritual development will follow upon that. Love will heal you. Love will illumine you." "This extraordinary Power, mystic though I have rightly called it, is nevertheless very real, no mere imaginary abstraction, but actually the most practical thing there is. The existence of this Power is already well known to thousands of people in the world today, and has been known to certai

Aristotle said “We are what we repeatedly do.” As a leadership coach, I am always curious about what my clients are practicing. The challenge is to realize that although we have all been practicing something, some of those “practices” aren’t getting the results we are looking for now. Consider James. When we began working together, he had the belief that leadership meant walking into a room with certainty and deliberation. His mindset was that he was the “knower” or “possess

In the Jewish tradition, the New Year is received with a time of introspection and reflection to take stock of the previous year before moving into the new one. This is done during the first ten days, starting with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur. These are commonly known as the Days of Awe or the Days of Repentance.

Daily Spiritual Insight from Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks How calm, present, and non-anxious can you stay in a life-threatening crisis? A BBC News report from John Sudworth in Seoul, South Korea, says that the recent skirmish betwee North and South Korea “is of a different order” from the usual exchanges between the two nations. It seem that civilians were killed in the shelling of the South Korean island by the North.

Part 2 – How It Might Be Affecting You Time is going faster rnMany people are not aware of the precise nature of the changes they are experiencing, but they are noticing the effects of these changes. For example, if you ask the question: “Do you think time is going faster?” A great many will say “yes, it is as if I just got out of bed in the morning, and before I know it I'm getting ready for bed again. Where did the day go?” Time is more related to the rhythms and

The World Is As We Are! One of the most significant aspects of life is that our success and happiness in this life is in direct proportion to how happy and successful we are within ourselves. Those who are more well-adjusted, who are the most creative, energetic, dynamic and beaming full of self-confidence; these are those that are the most successful. This theme is so popular and more well-understood today, that such modern day success strategies like the "Secret" and the philosophies of the "Law of Attraction" spring from this universal idea and reality.

There's an old joke about two elderly women on an airplane complaining about the food. One says "This food is terrible! The meat is overdone, the vegetables are bland..." and the other woman chimes in "Yes, and such small portions!". Woody Allen uses this joke in the beginning of one of his films as a metaphor of life: it's difficult and way too short. I see it a little differently. I see it as a metaphor of how the vast majority of us views the world as lacking, as scarce. T

I’m not a big bible reader but my Catholic education has left me with a few memories of bits of scripture that have stood out and still have deep meaning for me still today. From 1 Corinthians 13:13, “For there are these three things that endure: Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love”.

Do you feel that your life is abundant or are you feeling deprived and unfulfilled? Do look forward to what your day will bring or are you dreading getting out of bed in the morning? Have you experienced what a truly abundant life is? Many people today have been living in a space of surviving and not thriving. Each day they get up and hit the grindstone, working on everything that needs to be done; and then fall in bed only to do it over and over again. I see so many going through the motions, drained and burned out; and not taking the time to really enjoy their life.

Visionaries aren’t just “people with lots of ideas.” Rather, a visionary’s brain has an astounding ability to make sense of seemingly millions of complex associations at lightning speed, working and reworking the puzzle of an uncountable number of infinitesimal factors, and seeing possibilities and obstacles that many couldn’t have conceptualized given a year’s time to reflect, research and plan. On one hand, it’s fun be a visionary!

Daily Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince The way millions upon millions, in fact more likely billions, picture God isn’t really very different from the king the Little Prince encounters on the first planet he visits. If I had to sit on a throne all day—and for all ete ity, at that!—I’d be bored out of my mind. Always superior to everyone, forever trying to control how things go but never succeeding because there’s a big mess here on Earth, it would have to be an awfully lonely and discouraging job to be God.

As children, we had to go to school, do our homework and perform to the satisfaction of our parents. The years passed and we realize that we no longer have to perform chores to please our parents but to survive. As children, we were taken to church or any other house of worship. We were not necessarily happy to go but we had to, although we always felt better on the way back home. As children, we had to say a prayer either to beg forgiveness or give thanks for all the wonderf

Now that all the “end-of-the-world” fear mongering and marketing is behind us, we can step into 2013 with greater clarity and purpose. Granted, this is just the beginning of a new cycle in the calendar of our New Humanity, and it may not be possible to foresee how it will all unfold, but as the new year begins, we can always make a choice as to what we want to focus on and envision for ourselves and the New Earth.

Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince Have you ever considered how much of what we do in life is the result of the way we have been programmed while growing up? We in so many ways act out brain patterns that weren’t of our making. We just picked them up from family, school, religious institutions, and society in general. Much of how people live is close to robotic.

I didn’t believe in God as a kid. I grew up in a religious culture where God was supposed to be this omniscient authority figure who had a say in how you should behave, and who would punish you for all ete ity if you didn’t follow his rules. He resembled my father too much for me to accept that.

Self-mastery begins with a decision, the determination to move forward no matter what. With all of the spiritual world and light-workers talking about the new world, it’s important to know what it entails on personal basis. Here’s the truth – self-mastery is not like a treat at the end of a class. It comes from devotion and dedication. Words can be read many times without an impact, and sometimes it’s easier to learn from stories, so here’s a personal example.

In 2009, my newsletter group conducted an experiment to see if gas prices would lower through visualization. We successfully lowered the prices from around $4.00 to under $2.00 per gallon in less than three months. We visualized that gas prices as approximately $2.00 and saw that number while pumping gas, then imagined that our total purchase was based on the $2 per gallon.

So, what is the story that YOU tell about YOUR life? Are you telling the story of what IS or do you tell the story of what is BECOMING? Remember, the Law of Attraction brings to you what you focus upon, whether it's wanted or not. You cannot continue to beat the drum of what is and expect what is to change to what you want it to be. It simply does not work that way. You must begin to tell the story of how you want things to be. Now, this isn't always an easy thing to do as what "is" can be smacking us in the face on a day to day basis.

Do you have A VISION ~ A Dream ~ A Desire ~ A PASSION that you are COMPASSIONATE about ~ Do you have WISHES that seem to not Come TRUE and you wonder WHY is something still blocking me? Let me show YOU how you can have everything that you've been stopped from having => http://bit.ly/vOIKxj

When we are posting a question to the source (Higher Self, Angels or divine beings) by using pendulum dowsing and the divinity chart, it is best to keep the question simple and focused. Never ask a question that is too complicated as your source may not be able to give you a precise response. Try questions like: What shall I focus on today for my spiritual growth? Instead of… What should I do today? This is because the Source is able to give you guidance to work through your lessons, but it cannot interfere with our free will and take on our responsibility.r

Have you had times that your anger got the best of you? Have you found yourself reacting in a rage that perhaps you didn’t even know where it came from? Have you experienced others that have a hard time communicating without anger or rage? This is a big one for many, as anger is often one of the hardest things for humans to deal with. I have seen even many spiritual people who go into rages, even if it is from the passion that the feel for their so called mission. Sadly this is like fighting war with more war, and seems to only end up fueling the flames in the long run.

Suppose you had to explain what love is - as opposed to friendship, sexuality, loyalty, romance, etc. Like most people, you would probably be hard put to produce a satisfying characterization of love. If you make a list of all the words you associate with love, - and, ifrnfurthermore, you compare it with similar lists made by others -paradoxes are likely to stand out. For example, love is sometimes hailed as a love-hate tension, at other times as devoted surrender orrnthe ultimate freedom, then again as serene companionship; somer

rnCognition and Consciousness are different. rn rnCognition - It is awareness focused to outside reality, losing connection with self. It is the result of action – reaction mechanism.

It is a pure biological and physiological process. T

Forgiving someone when they have said or done something to hurt you isn’t always easy. In fact, for the most part you would probably rather do just about anything than forgive someone that has caused you pain. People go through life carrying grudges and never understanding the impact it’s having on them or their lives.

When I first awaken in the morning, I check into my ‘state of being’. How do I feel? Are there any sensations in my body? What space is my heart in? What thoughts are going through my mind? How am I really feeling?

You’ll probably need to read this a few times due to the past programming that very few escaped and even fewer figured out how to erase. The goal of this programming is to block your awareness of what will be presented below (there is a chance though, that you will get it right away). So, let us now skip the unnecessary entry part and jump right to the main point and its application to everyday life situations. What you are responsible for in your life, you fully own, i.e.

Everyone wants to be happy, even though it often seems that some people are determined to be unhappy at all costs. It is not difficult to be constantly happy. Achieving this boils down to your beliefs, your mental habits and the time you put in to becoming happy. Here are four major guidelines for being happy. Think about them and pursue them. 1 Know that it is definitely possible for you to become happy, just like everyone, without exception, can definitely become clean after a bath.
