The mind seems always to be busy, and we seem to have a constant inner commentary about sensations, perceptions, memories, anticipated activities, hopes and dreams, and worries about situations we need to address. Then there are the drives and cravings such as hunger, thirst, or sensations of discomfort, pain or desire. The mind remains constantly busy and there seems to be no way out.
It is a common conception, and a tempting one, to expect that by taking up a certain type of charitable work, or even service to support a particular religion or spiritual path, one is practicing a form of karma yoga. All of these things may have enormous benefit in the outer world, and may certainly be encouraged generally. As a stage away from purely self-aggrandising action that has no real benefits to others, it may also find a place in the maturing of the individual consciousness.

The aim of spiritual seeking and yoga, historically, has been the liberation of the individual seeker and achievement of enlightenment. In many cases, this has involved making a choice between living “in the world” or abandoning the worldly life. Some traditions, such as the Buddhist Mahayana tradition, developed the concept of the Bodhisattva, who at the very threshold of enlightment and liberation turns back to help all other beings achieve this liberation before passing beyond.
âI heard in a spiritual discourse that purity means to âSpeak the truth, not to steal, be kind and not to do anything wrong.â I tried practicing all of that because I want to become pure. However, I could not. I realized that I may not tell big lies, but I tell many little ones. So what should I do, will I never become pure in my life?â The Gnani Purush, the Enlightened One, has prescribed four steps to overcome any particular impurity that we may have within us. Let
“Here is a great study showing proof positive that our mind is very powerful” Personally, I feel, that most people take their minds for granted when it comes to healing and illness. But this study shows without a doubt that our mind changes everything. 1 - A large group of people with different types of brain tumors were selected for this study. 2 - Everyone was told they would receive radiation therapy on a particular date. 3 - When it came time for their particular radiation therapy session it went just like any other normal radiation therapy session.

There's a lot of ideological principles out there these days that try to explain how to become more of a spiritual person, and how to tap into a power that will allow us to heal ourselves emotionally and physically by virtue of an intelligent energy that manifest itself through acts of metaphysical occurrences.nnHere are some defintions; Main Entry: 1spirâ¢iâ¢tuâ¢al Pronunciation: Ãspir-i-chY-wYl, -i-chYl, -ich-wYl etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French & Late Latin
A lot of people constantly need to blame someone for everything that’s taken place. And when it’s all over and done with they also find it hard to forgive themselves. Here is a Different Path to Forgiveness 1 - If you do something you regret let it go… and say I have learned something from this process… I was ignorant before and now I have a little more wisdom. 2 - Let go of attachment to this wrongdoing that took place. We all do things that are not in our best interest.
Once the psychic being is in front and directing the aspiration, focus and receptivity of the being to the action of the Divine Force, it is necessary to maintain the correct psychological posture, which implies not allowing either rajasic or tamasic energies to dominate the effort, avoiding thereby either any aggressive or anxious over-straining or demand, as well as any lassitude. despondency or darkness in the seeking. At the same time, the danger of the sattwic egoism needs to be understood and dealt with. There should not be any sense of superiority, or self-righteousness.
In The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo describes the sevenhold ignorance which limits the human being. We live in a world about which we know very little, and we lack a complete understanding of the significance of our lives, the meaning of existence, or the processes of Time. As a result, we act as if we are separate beings living a separate existence and we react to what we do not know, or what we imagine, or what we perceive to be a threat to that individual existence with fear.
The vital nature is always interested in, even fixated on, the idea of having dramatic ‘spiritual experiences’. These experiences can open the eyes of the seeker to a wider reality, and can help reorient the direction of the life, sometimes in unusual or unexpected ways. There are many instances where an individual has a realisation, sometimes based on a near death experience or a vision quest of some sort, and recognises the futility of the old habits of his life and strikes out in a totally new direction.
Here are Three Easy Ways to Have Great Peace and Inner Strength. 1 - Let Go of Being Fixated on What Society Wants When we are constantly fixated on what society wants, thus we are never being truly ourselves. We are constantly being what other people want us to be. All the great thinkers, Socrates, Plato, Lau Tzu, Confucius, and many more were all thinkers that lived outside the box of society.

Down through the ages, there have been lots of spiritual people who came to spread the word and go against the grain of popular thinking. And we should take their lead and speak up against injustice.
I read recently about the Bulgarian master Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov who said that the first 12 days of January represent the whole year. January 1st stands for the month of January; January 2nd stands for February, and so on. It is said that by consciously standing in love, light, power, etc., on these days, you align with an intention to bless the particular month in which that day represents.nnI decided to create a ritual in order to participate consciously in the first 12 d
The surface being, under the influence of the vital ego, loves to criticize others and ‘gossip’ about them. This is a method of ‘puffing up’ or inflating the ego by dragging down others. It also wastes considerable time and energy by focusing on what are for the most part superficial things in a superficial way.
THE PROBLEM WITH BIOGENICSnnBIOGENICS;nDefinition; the production of life from living matter.nSo! Define the word living.n n If one follows the chronology of the construction of human life from the atom through the simple sugars to DNA to the living body, one quickly sees the fallacy of biogenic thought. True! We consider the cell of a human form as living; but at what point in the chronological construction of the âliving cellâ was life inserted? Also, biogenic implies t
When we get sick we take something to make us feel better. But what can we do when we are spiritually sick and need attention? Contrary to popular belief, there are such things as negative entities and they can attach themselves to people and create havoc in their lives. These entities can cause disease, calamities, and wreak havoc. Not only that, but these entities can also change a person personality and even control a person thus causing all kinds of problems.

As we reflect on our own existence, and our relationship to the world around us, we begin by referencing everything to our own desires, needs, wants and feelings. We look at the world as exte al to us, inanimate matter somehow sustaining plant and animal life. The sun appears to revolve around the earth giving us periods of light and periods of darkness, periods of warmth and periods of cold. The elements go through changes and we experience rain, snow and ice, dryness, heat, and cold, depending on our location and the season.
“That’s a Very Important Question” I’m working with a man right now from Connecticut. He is in his 60’s and he thought he had his whole life figured out… and then he became ill. And when he became ill everything in his life turned upside down. And he has lots of anger about all the change that’s taken place in his life. Change is Inevitable

For the practitioner of the integral yoga, any form of work represents an opportunity to discard the normal, habitual mode of action and replace it with the direct action of the Divine Force. This transition, however, is neither immediate nor completed all at once, so there is inevitably a phase where the mind, vital being and physical body continue to respond and act as they have been doing, and where incremental changes in the way they respond can aid in the change that is required.
Or, we may describe this as the parable of the caterpillar and the butterfly. The mind is like the caterpillar, slowly grinding its way along, eating and focusing on its physical being and its circumstances for gaining sustenance. It does not dream that one day it will be transformed into a butterfly and fly freely through the air, seeing the world from a totally different state of awareness.
The lure of occult powers represents one of the temptations to be faced by the spiritual seeker who begins to access the inner and higher realms of consciousness. These powers may be developed through systematic efforts, following the protocols and laws of action under which these powers exist. Alte atvely, they may develop spontaneously as the spiritual seeking progresses.
Where do life and mind come from in the material world? How does inanimate Matter become the basis out of which life evolves? Western science, at a loss as to this process, simply has speculated that given enough time, the chemical/electrical interaction of material forces will spawn life and eventually, through random chance, bring about the advancements of the mind and intellect that we observe in the world today.
No matter how highly develop and powerful the intellect is, at some point it reaches the limits of its power and acknowledges that all of its activity is limited within a frame that prevents it from knowing anything with certainty. The intellect builds steps of logic based on various assumptions and perceptions, yet the assumptions are always subject to review and revision and the perceptions have been proven to be faulty and biased by the limits of the instruments of perception, the senses.
Most people only go to God, the Universe, and Great Spirit when there is a problem. But devotion to God should be given daily with great gratitude for everything in life. Here is one routine. Most people only think of their spiritual connection when something goes wrong. Then they get down on their knees and ask for God, the Universe, and Great Spirit to come to them and take care of their problem. But the reality is Great Spirit wants our love and adoration.

This weekend I had a man text me the following question. “How do I heal my sadness? I am too busy to socialize with anyone.” Here is What I Answered: We all have the time to socialize and be around people, and to give love and help others… it’s all a matter of priorities. It’s a choice to dive into work and hide, thus we don’t have to express our feelings. That way we stay numb and don’t feel anything. And He Answered Back—“What about people who take advantage of me?”
If we pass by a restaurant and just read the menu without eating… does the food they serve do us any good? No of course not. And the same goes for spiritual practice. There are lots of people who read about love. But actions make life happen. The nature of the word “love” is about being loving and kind. And being loving and kind is only possible with selfless action. Thus we have to embody the word “Love”… and become love… and thus… where ever we go and whatever actions we take… we spread love.
“Also Known as Forbidden Rice” Everyone has heard of white rice, wild rice, and brown rice, but not many have heard about the amazing healing qualities of black rice or forbidden rice. And it’s not to be confused with wild rice which is completely different.
