The Truth About Praying May Shock You

Praying, as it is done today, whether it is done by people of traditional faiths or those who don’t subscribe to organized religion, isn’t always enough, by itself. It’s commonplace to essentially sit quietly and ask God (or whomever you pray to) for what you want. Granted, a lot of this sort of praying is of very noble intent and can be very powerful, such as praying for someone to heal.

A Trap to Avoid at All Costs: Find the Love of Your Life in 90 Days or Less

You never want to be caught in the trap of thinking you can conjure up your "soul mate" in 90 days or less by following a New Age snake oil protocol. Ready, set, go. You now have 90 days to find the love of your life. What a terrible approach to love. Just like square-dancing, you'll twirl your way into the arms of the closest participant, but unlike that dance, you'll have to remain together forever. And because you're too focused on your agenda, too focused on casting a play, the fact that you two aren't really compatible won't be obvious until the illusion and excitement fade.

Astrology: Wedding Day is Irrelevant

The prevailing view involving modern marriage and astrology is that both individuals surely must have stellar love life timing at the time of the ceremony because marriage always equates to true love. Regrettably, this is false. Time and time again, the results of our empirical research involving comprehensive astrology and numerology show that the event of marriage between two people has almost nothing to do with their individual love life timing, or the success of their relationship.

How to Connect Daily with Your Spirituality

One of the major things that separate human beings from the animal world is spirituality. While animals also exist on a physical and mental plane, they depend on instinct as an inner guide. Humans are triune beings which combine body, mind, and spirit. These three components work in tandem to maintain a healthy, well-rounded person. If one of these elements suffers, it affects the other two. Unfortunately, one of the most ignored aspects of our personality is spirituality. Wh

You can have mystical experiences every day through regular, deep contemplation, meditation and, or prayer. As little as ten minutes a day can get you started on the mystical path.

A Reason for Living in a Nutshell

Perhaps there is no greater means of improving one’s life than striving to answer in the most enlightened way this single question: Why live?

Expeditions in Faith - Willing to Stand Still

Why are we so afraid to be in the stillness? Why are we so afraid just to pause and stop doing? What lies are we believing about the stillness? What are we afraid to hear? Part of it, I believe, is that we are afraid to allow the Divine more into our hearts. Our minds are afraid of what that means. Another part, I believe, is that we are afraid to listen to what we truly want and desire for fear that it won't come true.
