When I was a little girl, I had a secret friend. My secret friend taught me all sorts of fabulous things. My secret friend came to me in the dream world. The dream world was the place “between”; between the spirit world and the physical world I was supposed to live in. The dream world was to me real or more real, than this world. If I had a problem or didn’t understand something from the day world, I just had to lie down and close my eyes and night would guide me. I would pick a star, a star that was hidden behind my eyelids and light would grow and I would find the help I needed.

Everything in the physical/material world first begins with a thought or idea. This applies both to the creation of our physical bodies and the bodies of plants and flowers as well. Let’s take the example of a lotus.
We each not only have an astrological chart that is unique to us, we also each have a Ray chart that is unique to us, which is commonly referred to as our Ray configuration. The science of the Rays is in truth older than even the science of astrology because the Rays predate the creation of the stars. As such, in truth, our Ray chart or Ray configuration is even more significant than our astrological chart.
Always trust your conscious understanding more than anything else. When a dream is showing that you have an adjustment to make, make a specific short Spiritual vow in your mind, out loud, or in writing, to affirm that you are doing this or that to never let this specific pattern get out of balance ever again.
Self-improvement by far is the most exploited lie that the seekers of expanded awareness or enlightenment can encounter. This lie has also been used as a marketing tool by a great majority of self-help specialists all over the globe and for quite some time now. So, let us explore this for the sake of clarity. Once one is clear what is really at play here, one will know where to look within oneself to get results in this area without help of any external "guru" that masses and
The popular train of thought is that our consciousness dictates our reality. I look at this as being more than true when we look at ourselves to determine if we are living the reality of the physical being or the energy being that we are. We are both, but which is the most dominant? We are ...
The Spiritual path is the path of integration. That’s why those who master it are called “Integrated” Ascended Masters. The Integrated Ascended Master integrates psychological practices to ensure self-mastery over the mental and emotional self. For your enjoyment, here are seven simple psychological practices you can engage in to help you master the psychological aspect of self-mastery: 1. Make a commitment to lifelong consciousness mastery and refinement. 2. Practice a proper Spiritual psychology, as it is taught at the I AM University.r
Among the 13 Universal Laws can we say that one is more important than the others? Can anyone one of the invariant principles exist without the other? Certainly, there are groups and teacher of imperfect understanding that proclaim one is more important that the other. They claim one is primary and he rest subserviant to this primary principle.
Everyone has had a relationship at least once in their life. That "love" feeling is so wonderful until that day comes when you break apart. After the illusion of what you thought a relationship should be, the wall comes up to protect yourself. Love and relationships are challenging that is for sure. People become fearful of commitment, afraid of being rejected, and the games begin. In all actuality, it's the fear that keep us in problematic relationships.
When we first step on the Spiritual path, one of the first feelings we experience are sensations of love and oneness with the universe, with humanity, all kingdoms, and all things in life. Usually these sensations of love flow through our heart and we experience them as waves of energy washing over us. Just take a moment and think of love and fill your heart with love, you will immediately feel waves of love washing over you!
To get out of the matrix, you must let go of every untruth that you have been taught or that you assumed. How does one know the truth? Is it all in the Christianâs Bible? Christians would say yes, and that the Bible is all that you need to know. I have been all around and back again, in and out of differing religious beliefs, and at age 61, I feel I am much closer to the whole truth about religion than I ever have been before. I am going to tell you something of my personal
The Integrated Ascended Master realizes that part of his job on Earth is to move out of mass consciousness and join the group consciousness of the so-called “New Group of World Servers,” as Djwhal Khul calls it. This NGOWS is the group of Integrated Ascended Masters that has come to Earth to unite their love, their wisdom and their power in planetary world service. For your enjoyment, here are ten things you can do to move out of mass consciousness: 1. You must own your personal power, self-mastery and causality 100%. 2. You must have a right relationship to self.r
There are three so-called lines of evolution on Earth: Ascended Master, Elohim and Angelic line of evolution. Just as humanity goes through a process of evolution (that grows into becoming an Ascended Master), so does the Angelic or Devic Kingdom.
The word “Chakra” comes from the Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “turning.” Chakras are “turning wheels or vortices of energy” that are located in the etheric body. The etheric body is the subtle counterpart and blueprint of the physical body. Chakras serve as focal points for both the reception and transmission of energies. Chakras receive cosmic energies of varying degrees and then transmit them to the body.
Since the ancient times, India has been known as the abode for Hinduism and Hindu. Hence, needless to say, larger than life temples as well as quaint are found all over the country. Regarded as transcendent, limitless, formless and unchanging, Lord Shiva is among the three Trimurti deities of Hinduism. Here are 6 of the tallest Lord Shiva Statues and Shiva Sculptures. ⢠Statue at Allahabad Located in the holy city of Allahabad, next to the banks of the holy River Ganga, thi
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you breathe in, breathe in the Light of God and as you breathe out, breathe out all that is not of the Divine. In your mind’s eyes, see yourself now sitting in a magnificent temple. It has floors of gold, diamond sprinkled walls and crystal glass ceilings. It has a mysterious silence, peace, tranquility and holiness and you know that you are in the Inner Sanctum of the Divine, the Holy of Holies.
We can begin the process of breaking the bonds of mechanical thinking and transforming our lives into a labor of love. Along with being happier we can be greatly rewarded once we recognize that there are certain universal principles which underwrite even the physical laws of nature. It is only meaningful to us if we can identify and verify these Universal Laws in own life experiences. Only then are we in the position to say, “I’ve been there and done that.” Only then is the experience and the knowledge truly ours.
Message from a Mayan Elderr April 07, 2011rn Message from Don Alejandro, Mayan Elder: "At the time of the 13 Baktun and 13 Ahau is the time of the return of our Ance stors and the return of the men of wisdom. That time is now. Arise, everyone, stand up! Not one, nor two groups be left behind the rest.This prophecy i
Most of our dreams are created by our subconscious mind. Now, it is important to understand that our subconscious mind and dreams are not telling us what to do! The subconscious mind has no reasoning whatsoever. It is merely reflecting to us how we have been manifesting our thinking, feeling, words and behavior. By seeing this mirrored in symbols, we see it more clearly and hence can make choices to adjust our consciousness to mirror our Spiritual and psychological ideals.
Yesterday, a marketing guru asked me a question that left me speechless. I had retained Bob to review the copy on my Mystic Warrior website from a sales perspective. He asked about reader reactions. As we talked, I told him how some readers felt compelled, while in the midst of my book, to put it down and meditate. In several cases, they described tingling sensations on the crown of their head and of receiving “downloads of energy and information.” I told Bob they were “attuning with God” and how this is a step towards enlightenment.
This short article provides a general overview on performing a couple of simple meditations: inner-silence meditation, yellow rose meditation, and meditation on the heart-mind connection. Practicing meditation is in essence quite easy. If you have already selected your meditation system, these ...
The book the “The Power of Now” changed the topography of spiritual pop culture. The “Power of Now” allowed people to coin really cool phrases like, “It is what it is,” and “The only time that we have is now.” You know that a book is a pop culture phenomenon when Wall Street yuppies are admitting that they have a problem with their ego. The book was a major success, partly because it shattered our view of what time really is. Everything is in the now! There is no such thing
There’s a big bowl of rocks in the middle of my kitchen table. I have collected these rocks from all over the world – beaches, mountains, parking lots – since I was a child. When I’m eating breakfast, I’ll often grab one to carry in my pocket or purse during the day. Each one has been perfectly crafted by the wind and rain, by time and God. Most collections begin with an appreciation of beauty or by tapping into a particular passion. You can rely on your collections to ground you, cheer you and remind you of wonderful places and times in your life.
Make yourself comfortable, preferably sitting on a chair with your feet firmly on the floor, making sure your arms and legs are uncrossed, and your spine straight. Imagine a golden light all around you spreading out as far around you and as high above you as you can visualize it. This is a protective golden dome which will create a barrier or protective shield so that any unwanted or negative energies will not be able to enter inside it. Relax now, breathing deeply once or twice, allowing your entire body to feel calm and tranquil.
I used to hate my toes. I know it sounds odd, but I was so convinced they were ugly that I wouldn’t even wear sandals during my early 20s. Truthfully, I wasn’t really fond of anyone’s feet, but I thought mine were particularly hideous. And then I had a baby. Like many infants, he fell head over heels for his tiny toes. He stared at them in awe, wiggled and kicked them, touched them and tasted them. Even I thought his itty bitty toes were undeniably adorable.
Ascension is the process of breaking free from the wheel of rebirth. To ascend means to raise one’s frequency to a level that vibrates higher than physical/Earthly reality. To take one’s ascension in an integrated and balanced way means to synthesize and ascend equally all four bodies – physical/etheric, emotional, mental and Spiritual – and to not try and bypass any of these levels. To ascend our bodies means to purify our physical body, spiritualize our emotions, keep our mind steady in the light, and descend our Monad or God Self onto Earth.
Abstract: Money is a fallen symbol in our world that needs to be spiritualized by brave souls who wish to support awakening in these monumental times! The greatest potential for healing our world will come through this, as money is a most powerful symbol in our reality.
When you wake up in the morning do you feel like you are ready to start the day as who you are or do you see one moment the same as the next, the same as yesterday? It is important in life to remember that all is changing constantly, including yourself. It is easy to forget and to accept ourselves as just the person we’ve already decided we are. Not letting go every day of not only how we see ourselves but the day as well, can keep us in a state of repetitive stagnation. We are never the same as we were yesterday.
Examine every morning upon waking your dreams and your conscious thoughts, feelings, words and actions from the previous day. Everyone knows to a certain extent when they are off-kilter and out of balance, when the negative ego or negative feelings and emotions have taken over, when they have become too over-indulgent, or have over/under-reacted or responded.
Divorce makes us reexamine the way we perceive a family. You have changed from a nuclear family with two parents to a one parent family. To begin this lesso I would like you to write in your journal about how you perceive parenting. I think the most important thing in a parent-child relationship is: _______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________r
Buddha said that desire is the root of all suffering. He didnât say most of the suffering or much of the suffering but all of it. Every single contraction of being is caused by desire. Because desire is such a powerful force, it is worth looking into. As powerful as desire is, every desire is a lie. Every desire is based on the idea that things can be different than they are, and that is just not true. Things have never been different than they are in any moment. Things are
When we are in a close relationship with another person, sometimes we can feel the walls between each other. Sometimes, one of us may be trying to protect ourselves or hiding what we really are from the other person. After a while, this behavior becomes normal and thus is prolonged. If you have been in a relationship for a while, yet still feel like you haven’t connected fully to the other person, there could be a reason. First, look at yourself. Are you trying to protect yourself because of something that has happened in your past?
One of my many experiences working with Enlightened Children, was a 10-year-old boy named Luke. This was years ago, in a healing center, before I began to focus my full-time on Long-Distance Phone Healing.nnAfter a brief phone conversation with his mother, she expressed her concern about his obsessive-compulsive and unpredictiable behavior.nnI suggested several Allergy Elimination techniques which might resolve the problem. They made an immediate appointment to see me, and th
Fiction is based on reality. A good detective novel reflects society. A detective has to try and unravel the mystery of a perfect murder. The supe atural and paranormal is all around us, sometimes in dreams and also reality. Science fiction predicts future events and revelations in stories that are related to as fiction. Holy books are fiction written from the imagination of men yet they too reflect into the future trying to show us a better way of life. But without some belief other than our physical reality we are but empty containers on a short voyage through ete ity.
Sit down, relax and gaze upon a mat black covered rectangular screen. Let your eyes release their tense gaze and stay open as the muscles unbend into a soft unblinking stare. Your mind is still active with the events of the day as you slowly relax even more. The black void in front of your eyes seems cold and lifeless just a small dark area of nothingness. You hold the image in your mind through your eyes as they become even more relaxed and tend to give a double image. This means your eyes are conditioned and remaining open as your whole body starts to relax.
We spend our lives looking for fulfilment out there, without realizing we are what we are looking for. It is only covered over, we know it in our moments of pleasure and joy? It is like an impossible puzzle but I can show how that is undone. We are all held in the illusion of a self, in ...
Open Your Heart Path When you open your heart path, you open yourself up to life. When life opens you to real possibility then real possibility opens you to life! Itâs a reciprocal dynamic action that makes it all so amazing. With that said, a psycho-spiritual journey through self- discovery and expanded awareness is how you may earnestly open your heart path. Your heart path is the road to truth. You may find comfort knowing that your heart path is actually your inner wisd
For seven long years was Gautama Buddha lifting up His consciousness, every minute of every day. Firstly, He went through the veil of His own thoughts and emotions – a painful process by itself – and then, by focusing His concentrated love upwards, he started penetrating layer by ...
PSP games are all everyone is talking about this days. The reasons for this are quite simple: the PSP is a very versatile piece of equipment and it allows portability for playing games in the form of a small UMD disc that you can easily carry around. However apart from the UMD disc, there are other ways of storing your PSP games i.e. onto your memory sticks. Below you will find a simple guide on how to download PSP games from your computer to your PSP. So here is a complete g
I come from Japan, the country where Zen flourished. My nickname is Dharma – from Bodhidharma – the name of the founder of Zen. In this life I have found a modern way of Zen: Kinesiology. Perhaps I was a Zen monk in a past life! To me, Kinesiology is Zen, and with this approach I have gained tremendous benefits from Kinesiology. I will be happy if you understand that Kinesiology is more effective when regarded as Zen.
It is hard to imagine that a generation of peace and love could become the next war mongers. It is far to obvious the wars we fight today are not to protect any thing other than profit. You who riddled the world with land mines, profit from the resources of others, restrict advancement, let people starve to death, lower education standards, and lie have brought the entire world to the breaking point.
Searching for the Fountain of Youth is costing us a pretty penny. In the United States, the billions of dollars we spend annually on anti-aging products increases by nearly 9% every year. Count me in: I’ve paid for my fair share for eye creams, age-defying moisturizers, even laser treatments. But I’ve come to discover a far less expensive, much more enjoyable solution. The beauty industry has most of us convinced that if we don’t use special creams and pricey injections to ward off the aging process, we could all shrivel up like raisins in the blink of an eye.
LESSON ONE: Dealing With the Anger Begin this first lesson by writing down your feelings about your divorce in your journal. Don’t say “I can’t do this” or “I don’t know what to write”. You know what is in your heart and what you feel. 1. Was there another person involved in the break-up ofrnyour marriage? Was this someone that you knew? How did you find out about the involvement?

"If you can't explain something simply, you don't know enough about it." - [Albert Einstein] Plainly and simply, at least as far as past and present gurus, yogis, free mystics and enlightened beings of India such as Buddha, Mahavira, Rama, Krishna, Saint Kabir, Guru Nanak, Vivekananda or Gandhi are conce ed; the quest for The Ultimate Truth or God is futile without a vegetarian lifestyle. That’s how these great but humble people lived in the East.
1. You must strive for integration, balance, synthesis and full spectrum prism consciousness in all ways and all things. Mass consciousness is exactly the opposite: it is fragmented and imbalanced. 2. You must have discipline and structure in life. 3. You must develop an incredible work ethic. 4. The way out of mass consciousness is through denial and affirmation: denying the consciousness of the masses and affirming the group consciousness of the New Group of World Servers. 5. You must claim your identity to the level above you instead of the level you are living on.r
The phrase “holy instant” comes from A Course in Miracles. Virtually all of humanity, to one degree or another, is hypnotized to believe that they are a physical body, separate from God and separate from one another. However, in truth this is complete illusion! Our thoughts and beliefs create our reality, but they don’t create truth. Just because we think we are separate bodies does not make it true!
Buddhism is one of the major religions practiced in the world, particularly in the Asian continent. It is not uncommon to find Buddha statues in Buddhist homes. These Buddha figurines hold a special meaning for Buddhists the world over. It is believed that praying in front of a Buddha statue helps to purify the mind. It uplifts oneâs soul to a spiritual realm, and helps one gain a deeper understanding of Buddhaâs teachings. A Buddha statue also helps one to overcome sin a
ADAPTABILITY & MANIFESTING OUR BEST POSSIBLE FUTURE REALITY NOW Adaptability is one of the most important spiritual qualities to integrate, and the key to success in our lives. We need to be adaptable because people can be self-centered, self-absorbed, scattered, fearful and ungrounded. People break promises and fail to keep commitments all the time. We can only control ourselves. Adaptability is one-pointedness without stubbornness.
