Self Realization Articles

THE CHOICE, CARING OR SELFISH Tex writes: On the question of disce ment of peoples' motives and agendas. It reminds me of a time when I lived in a commune in the late 60's. No drugs, and the core group were really more interested in sorting out problems and helping each other figure things out. We were young. We had lots of surprise visitors from cities to our wilde ess house by the sea. Friends who told friends who told friends. Usually 20 would show up for meals, and nev

rnThe Bhagavad Gita is a holy scripture. It is in question-answer format and has been written with the express intention to help those who read it to comprehend the fundamental questions of our being. Those that read the Gita understand some of its significance but struggle to understand its complete meaning. During the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna at the time of the great battle, Lord Krishna clarifies to Arjuna the ultimate science of the universe and reveal

I would like to preface this article by stating that I am not a "religious" person. I was raised Catholic and have attended many religion based organizations. However, I do believe in God. Not the mysterious Entity awaiting us all in judgment up in the heavens, but the God that encompasses all things. We are all the energy source of life and creation. Trust and faith are two words most everyone has heard of. How many of you have actually implemented them into your lives?

EFT and abundance go hand in hand. Finding out the art of deleting limiting morals, feelings or behavior using EFT will allow you to bring in wealth at will. If you don’t learn how to do this, you’ll find yourself having difficulties to attract what you need. You’ll probably get irritated and return to the gradual grind of forcing action and discovering little to absolutely no results. We’ll be using EFT to take away the emotional charge behind the decreasing beliefs

Teachers in Buddhism, Hinduism and modern spirituality are pointing to the ego as an unwanted illusion. As a bad thing in fact. The ego has to be uprooted and diminished for a person to reach nirvana. The final goal of life is to reach enlightenment and become one with the consciousness, your Buddha nature or the Awareness.rn rnIllusionrnFrom the perspective of Who we really are, the ego is an illusion. It is a identity created by our mind. It cannot exist in the Here and Now

In my work as a spiritual sensitive, I have discovered that every individual has a unique nature in regards to their Being. I pay close attention to not only the words that people choose when they speak, but also the tone that they speak with and how their chosen words resonate. This allows me to make connections to the person’s emotions and vibrations, and to tune into their energy centres. Words can be extremely powerful in the frequency in which they are spoken, so I alw

The 4-Hour Workweek, Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich, by Timothy Ferriss is the hot, new thing to hit the marketplace. Ferriss has created an interesting vagabond lifestyle. This book is the practical side of the Secret phenomenon. It also reminded me of all the Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie types of books I read in my twenties. In it you are asked to think outside of the normal way you approach your life. Ferriss asks the reader to disregard the notion of ef

Living in Boone, North Carolina there was a certain spot that I would go to every now and then. I found this spot several years ago and continued to go because, even on the prettiest days, no one else ever found it. It was my place to be alone, to think, and just to get away from everything. This was where I went to make all of the important decisions. It was also my place to write; most of the time I wasn’t actually writing about anything of significance. Still, there was

I don’t usually talk much about my work, too busy doing it; and I like to pour my energy into the process rather than explaining what I’m working on. But last month, after telling my friend in no uncertain terms (for the umpteenth time and for seven million reasons), “Not happening! Not going to do it!” … I went and did it! When I took a break from radio at the end of last year, I fully intended to be hosting again toward the end of this year. I planned to take my time looki

"In meditation, if you observe the process of identifying with thoughts, you will find that there is a pleasure in identifying with that thought. And what I mean by identifying is you grab hold of that thought, you make that thought you, it becomes your identity. So say a memory arises about your mother and immediately you make that thought about you. Instead of noticing a thought just arouse and letting it go, you become involved with it, you become involved with the emotions, memories and judgments around it. You become the person in that story.

What is an ANT?nnAn ANT is an acronym for Automatic Negative Thoughts.nnWhat is a WORM?nnA WORM is a metaphor for deep-seated, unconscious beliefs that lye dormant in our consciousness analogous to a computer virus that only activates when a certain button is pushed on our keyboard.nnWhat is a FEAR?nnA FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real; an optical illusion that makes you believe it is impossible to move beyond this point so why even try. FEAR is a lie!nnANTs are pre-consc

"One of the main reasons why it is so difficult to let go of your identification with thinking in meditation is fear. You begin to witness thoughts, you can even let desires go, you move past the dream state, then suddenly the identification with yourself as an individual separate person is broken and you are formless. Yes, it is freeing. But only a few seconds go by and you have to grab hold of identification again. It's a knee-jerk reaction. Like you have to come back and make sure everything is still here.

The only thing we ever really do while we are here in this lifetime is become more aware of our oneness with our creator. As we become more aware of this oneness, we begin to make a shift from changing our circumstances to changing OURSELVES. The truth is that all of our circumstances are actually created out of our current level of consciousness (or lack thereof). Even when the message would seem to be negative or painful, if we simply step back and ask ourselves “why am I

This seems to be the year of the protest. All over the world, including Wall Street, people are gathering to express their distress about what's happening in politics and in big business (hard to separate the two anymore).

What Is The Spiritual Life? Part Three. In Parts 1 and 2 of What Is The Spiritual Life, we discovered that THE SPIRIT LIFE is not depended on any exte al circumstances or situations. A person begins to live THE SPIRITUAL LIFE the moment he realizes and accepts the fact that he is not his PHYSICAL BODY and he is not his EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS or FALSE EGO. People who still 'believe' themselves to be only a physical body uses the "MATTER OVER MIND". Psychic Techniques to progress or digress in the world.

We are living in an unprecedented time when people all over the world feel forced to deal with an invisible threat—the Covid-19 virus. This raises many questions, such as, Why is this happening? Is God punishing humanity? What will the future hold? and How can I survive this? Indeed, the pandemic makes us ask the big, essential questions. And we are hungry for the answers, especially as we see the number of coronavirus cases and deaths rising daily.

Did you wake up today and ask “what am I doing with my life”?nnOr perhaps you find yourself wondering if there’s more to life than the daily grind of work, home, activities, day in and day out .. the same old thing. Samo-Samo.nnAre you happy, like your job but feel there’s got to be something more out there?nnDo you want work to be more fulfilling, meaningful and fun? Would you like to jump out of bed each day with a smile on your face, a real sense of purpose and exc

Tantra for many years was overshadowed by the more familiar reiki teachings, and it was only recently when certain celebrities came forward and professed their undertaking in tantric rituals that it came to the fore. The downside of this publicity however, was that many people considered tantra to be solely based around love making, and wrongly assumed it was similar to the kamasutra teachings.rnIn fact tantra has many similarities to yoga or Zen, in that it is considered a p

"The delight in eating chocolate is when you are so totally immersed in the taste of the chocolate that there is only that taste. The delight in playing tennis is when you are so immersed in the action of playing tennis there is only the action of playing tennis. This is meditation. Meditation is when you are so totally immersed in this moment that there is only this moment. There is no you meditating. There is only meditation. As long as you are trying to get something out of it, or figure it out or do it right, you will miss it.

Want to learn how to meditate like a Zen Monk? Learn this easy Zen Meditation Technique to attain deep states of peace. Zen meditation is the path of awareness. It uses concentration techniques to pull your attention out of your thinking to be present in the moment. The normal state of a human being is to be completely identified with your thinking. So if you are sitting by a pond and you are thinking about having to go to work tomorrow, you are not really aware of yourself sitting by the pond, you are more involved with work tomorrow.

The Exchange of Power or Force The word exchange means to swap over, switch, replace, trade, barter, substitute. In conversation it means to argue, talk, chat, discuss or have an altercation. From both of these points of view, in the meaning of exchange, an underlying issue comes to the surface which involves the element of engagement in the consciousness of exchange. The question then…is what is involved in this exchange of engagement? There is a two fold answer. Is it power or force that is being exchange between individuals, groups, businesses, cultures and/or countries?

I’ve always wanted to take riding lessons but it wasn’t until quite recently (2 years ago) that I have been able to afford the cost and find a stable within city limits. But riding is so much more than I expected. Learning to be around and properly handle bid animals is a challenge in itself but riding requires a level of self-control, flexibility, co-ordination and strength that I wasn’t expecting. Every week, Marley, the mare I work with, teaches me something new abou

The soul exists as part of a larger, interconnected dimension, which, belonging to an entire pattern of interconnected dimensions, makes up the world as we see and yet don’t see it. To exist in our own little world without tangible proof of other aspects of the larger world can mean to deny a fundamental truth of harmonious existence between the earth and the powerful presence of things yet to be discovered, things that mirror our natural world in spirit. The soul, on its ow

"If you greet someone and ask them how they are, they will refer to the last few hours, weeks or months for an answer. Thoughts of the past are constantly repeating themselves and that becomes who you think yourself to be. You might wake up in the morning feeling blissful, and then the thought arises that 3 days ago you got a speeding ticket. And now you don't feel blissful, now you feel awful. It is like you are getting that speeding ticket over and over! How many times will you get that same ticket in your mind?

What is truth? rnThe highest worldly truth is one where no living being is hurt by us through the medium of our mind, speech or actions. This is the greatest of all principles. It is not the real truth though, but is definitely the ultimate 'worldly truth'! Hence, we must decide in our mind that we want to completely live by this absolute worldly truth. And the one who follows the worldly truth eventually gets lead to the divine truth too. What is the divine truth?rnThe Self

Because I learned so much about myself and about relationships, I’d like to share my first experience of training a horse with you. One evening I was at the fair with my family. Walking past one of the areas, I saw a sign for a horse to be given away in a drawing. I already had horses; but, figured if it were free, I could add one more to the herd! Well, the drawing was over 15 minutes before I got there. The lady kindly told me there were 25 other non-broke, untouched mustan

From the viewpoint of an overview of the evolution of humanity, Rudolf Steiner gave some important indications to weigh, in terms of spiritual practice.nnFor example, whereas the ideal progression for working with the chakras used to be from the bottom up, the modern way is now from the top down. The esoteric background on this has to do with how the vibrational energy of the planet has been inverted, from descent to ascent. Traditionally, one worked from the bottom up, becau

"Everyone stumbles over the truth from time to time, but most people pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing ever happened."rn- Sir Winston Churchill One of the fundamental essentials for progressing along the path of life is learning to love truth above all else. The truth is not something which is the opposite of untruth. There is no such thing as a partial truth. If it’s 99.9% true, then it’s not the truth, because the truth is simply as it is. The ultimate repository of truth is the mind of the Creative Source.

Her facebook page was hacked into from a thief in London. She was locked out of her own face book page. The thieves were able to type in a message on her facebook wall saying, “I NEED HELP FROM A GOOD FRIEND,” and then the thief bega Instant Messaging anyone online with a well practiced story. Through Instant Messaging (IMing), the real person’s picture pops up with a typed message. As you know, it’s not about the actual situation that occurs; it’s what’s behind the story and how we show up in life.

Many things we learn and hear about how to suceed or improve our lives are accepted by us as truisms, almost monoliths of dogma, which we turn to time and again. We write about them, use them in speeches and regurgitate them readily, mostly because we ourselvs have been taught to do so. But, they can also be misleading if we don't look around these monoliths at the shadows which they cast. On that note, I'm going to say something here that flies in the face of what you have

Human beings are multidimensional creatures. Our identity is made up of the sum total of our many traits and values and our character. Each of us possesses within us many different selves. There is the adult part of ourselves and the childlike spirit that resides in each one of us. There is our masculine side and our feminine side. There is the hard worker in us, the artist, the parent, and the caretaker. All of these selves combined form a well-rounded, complex person. Not a

The original Star Trek television series introduced a "prime directive" that was the guiding principle that grounded all of the adventures, explorations and encounters the characters had. However different the subsequent spin-offs of the original show were, that prime directive remained a constant through most of the different series.nnThe prime directive was that of "non interference" in the development and life paths of other beings and cultures that they encountered. It be

I even have read through hundred or so self help books and can announce with certainty that this Third Q is considered the most effective and motivating self help book that I've ever scan. One more great question we collected is whether or not the Third Q is merely another in a long line of self help books. Obviously the individual questioning has not look at the 3rd Q. The answer will be a resounding no...We're not just another from a prolonged range of self help books. One

Only Love In “This” Society - Can you imagine living in a society in which you felt no negative pressure, only unconditional love and support for who you are on the inside? You are free to be happy with who you are whether you were single, short, old and wrinkled, a woman, divorced, Jewish, Christian, college educated or street smart, a vegan, an organic farmer or a so called “tree hugger”. In this make believe, pretend world, you are loved so deeply, respected so much, that you wouldn’t even consider being anyone other than yourself.

EFT and abundance go in conjunction. Understanding the concepts of the art of extracting limiting values, ideas or habits using EFT will empower you to entice wealth at will. If you don’t study how to do this, you’ll find yourself striving to attract what you need. You’ll almost certainly get aggravated and return back to the slow-moving grind of forcing actions and witnessing little to not any results. We’ll be making use of EFT to remove the emotional charge behind

It was the last Tuesday before Christmas and I was standing among the cluttered isles of my local Walmart with my long list of last minute rememberances. The yellow legal pad list had been taken in and out of in my coat pocket so many times the paper was as limp as I felt. I was lost in this gigantic cavern, and even though I knew the store like the back of my hand, I was to the point in my mind where I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for anymore. A bubble of a gift tho

“The plant that was a seed and then a shoot gives birth to a bud which will gradually become a flower. The plant can now be seen as the mother of the flower, and the flower the completion of the growth of the plant. It now takes over as the mother of future seeds, sharing itself as color and fragrance” The Lunar Cycle by Philip Levine

People have always asked questions about where things came from, including themselves. We like answers. In one of the most famous Bible scriptures (Exodus 3:14), Moses asked God who He was. Depending on which translation you read, the answer was: New International Version (©1984)rnGod said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. King James Bible (which is generally the least accurately translated version of the Bible)rnGod said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM Young's Literal TranslationrnAnd G

As we explore the human experience and the flow of abundance in our lives, we discover that many people are living the life they truly desire to live. Furthermore, we discover the desire for prosperity is being fulfilled for so many. We also discover that many people are living the lives they want to live because they have invested time and energy in creativity. So, what about the rest of humanity? Why are there some people who are not experiencing the joy and miracles of lif

You can use this simple self realization technique to very quickly experience yourself as formless consciousness: "The nature of awareness is freedom from identification. If you are aware of anger, then you are not identified with anger. If you are aware of a thought, you are not identified with the thought. The thought arises, the anger arises but it has nothing to do with you. Identification is always happening at an unconscious level. You are walking to work and unconsciously identification is there.rn'My name is Jon, I am a dentist, I am on Main st.

Death always waits nearby. Yet, we tend to feel its presence only if our lives or the lives of people we know and love are threatened by it. Then we face our own mortality. For the last few months, people all over the world have been reminded daily that death could decide to make an appearance at their doors. Instead of waiting in the shadows, the grim reaper has moved into the light for all to see. And that provides a constant reminder that life is short and death can come unexpectedly.

We people possess records, like gravestones, of individual clouds and dates on which they have flourished. In 1824, John Constable took his beloved and tubercular wife, Maria, to Brighton Beach. They hoped the sea air would cure her. On June 12 he sketched, in oils, squally clouds over Brighton Beach. The gray clouds lowered over the water in failing light. They swirled from a central black swirl. In 1828, as Maria Constable lay dying in Putney, John Constable went to Brighto

I am an amazing person. I am perfect I don’t need to improve. I have accomplished many great things and done a lot for others in my life. However, I feel that there is something still missing look him he is happier than me why? Many of us use to think in a same way you know what is missing? That missing factor is we aren’t striving daily to be a better person, learning how to improve ourselves. It’s not only a matter of educating earning and achieving your goals it’s

Have you considered to take an accredited online masters degree? Unfortunately, we currently see a whole lot of mis-information with regard to master degrees online. More and more people are seeking online to get their degree, but there are also people who have started their education traditionally; at a college or university and want to complete their degree online. What they to make sure though, is that the institution who offers the degree online nnis accredited by the gov

While attending seminary and taking Bible study courses may prepare a minister to preach and teach the Word of God, very few pastors enter the ministry ready to face the most challenging part of doing God’s work, interacting with people. Ministers work with a wide variety of people on any given day. Many of these people are blessings, offering encouragement, support, prayer, and compassion. Others, however, are a bit more challenging to deal with. A lot has been written on

Why do I keep getting the same results in my life even though I am asking for something new to show up? You see, deep within you there are many belief systems that are magnetically calling forth experiences in your life that you subconsciously asked to have. These experiences once served you, however, you are realizing that you are ready for something new, empowering and uplifting to come forth into your life.

"You often hear about meditation being something to do with a set of beliefs or traditions. As though you have to believe in a higher power or something of that nature in order to meditate. And nothing could be farther from the truth. Meditation is the honest investigation into what is here in this moment. And if you look inwardly into this moment, you see the heart beating, the breath moving in and out, thoughts happening. And if you keep looking you get to something that you cannot define.

I’m sure that if I took a poll I would get a jillion answers. Some of these would probably be: spending more time with nature, going green, living off the grid, growing your own food, buying local, and reducing your carbon footprint. In general, walking more gently upon the Earth, and living in harmony with nature instead of trying to control it. This environmental consciousness and sensitive awareness of the Earth is beautiful, and I am happy to see the efforts being made in society. The social focus on the environment is a welcome sight.

Reality is all things. It is physical and spiritual, it is the embodiment of everything known and not yet realized. It is occurring in the NOW, future, past, and present simultaneously. It is the consciousness and the unconsciousness. Your experience is your reality. It is a reality created by self.
