Disturbances Attributed to the Physical Mind

What is the physical mind? The element of mental activity that relates to the actual physical substance that conveys and responds to sense perceptions and the operations of the physical body is considered to be the ‘physical mind’. We normally believe that the operation of our mind is independent of these things to a great degree, but when we examine things closely we can see that changes in physical circumstances, changes in bodily comfort or discomfort, even changes in diet, can influence both the specific thoughts that arise and circulate in the mind, and the tenor of the thoughts.

For centuries, the movement has been away from reliance on belief and faith to a reliance on facts and rational analysis. One need only look at the history of the rise of Western science and the disputes that occurred with the church over the centuries to understand the spirit of the recent age.

The Value and Rationale for the Yoga of Works — Karma Yoga

The vital nature of man is a core existential element of our existence. In the past, those who took up serious spiritual practice frequently recognised both the power of the vital and the difficulty of bringing it under some kind of managed and focused control, and thus, they attempted to abandon it to whatever extent possible and focus on meditation to the exclusion of an outer life.

Predicting The Future: Possible or Impossible?

Like most things in life, the answer lives on a fine line, somewhere in between “possible” an “impossible.” Yes, there are premonitions that all of us have that come true. Yes, there are revelations people have had about the future, that have come true. But this does not mean that everything is destined and predictable. It is unfortunate, but many people give their power away as they cling to the words of people who do readings and tell these people exactly what their

The Human Dilemma: the Underlying Cause of Anxiety

Being human is uncomfortable. We do not have the innocence of living that we find in the animal kingdom. We struggle with the pressure of growing knowledge about ourselves and our world, and an awareness of past, present and future that haunts us all the time. For many, this pressure is so unbearable that they choose to try to obliterate the awareness through various forms of dissipation, self-medication with alcohol or drugs, or through an attempt to regain the animal innocence by living in the present, care-free and oblivious, which, of course, is an illusion.

Divine Grace and the Action of the Laws of Nature

Due to the nature of the mind, which always seeks for “black and white” solutions and answers, it is easy to fall into the idea that everything depends on one’s own efforts, or alte atively, that one’s efforts do not matter as the Divine controls what occurs. In actuality, there is no real opposition between the two extremes — they are complementary concepts. The solution is to appreciate the different standpoints involved and the way that the Divine action takes place through the mechanics of the individual and the universal manifestation.

Giving and Receivng Joy and Letting it Go

Timothy Freke has these wonderful words to say about our impermanence. "The great grief of life, caused by impermanence, can't be avoided. But it's ameliorated by also knowing the great joy of life, which is that every moment is a fresh expression of the primal goodness. And then impermanence becomes poignantly beautiful. Each moment becomes a blessing to be cherished before it passes forever. Each meeting becomes an opportunity to fall in love that will never come again."

Overcoming the Impulse to Anger

Most people believe that both the impulse of desire and the impulse to anger are both inherent, deeply established reactions that are either completely impossible, or virtually impossible, to overcome and remove from one’s life. They say that one may succeed in controlling outer expressions of anger through various techniques or training, but that the impulse to anger, and the inner reaction that it causes, remains. This can have a variety of effects on the being including negative results in terms of physical health, vital energy and mental balance.

Understanding the Concept of Divine Grace

The human mind likes to have a logical reason for events, and therefore we search for a causal relationship between an event and some precursor. We call this “cause and effect” or “causality” or “dependent origination” or “law of karma”, or “law of nature”. However we describe it, we are trying to make sense of the way things happen in the world and expect order and system to underlie what happens.
