People Never Notice Their Mind

"All kinds of unpleasant situations are sent to us so that we will finally understand that it is not the external things that we should fear, but the lack of contact with the Upper One, the absence of spirituality." nAwakening to Kabbalah, Rav Michael Laitman, PhDnnnIf we were aware of the Upper Force that's always influencing us and arranging everything in our lives, then we would know the secret of life. We would know what life's grand purpose is and how everything in our l

Famed literary works are filled with beautiful metaphors which take readers to the height of imagination by comparing or contrasting notable images. American poet, Robert Frost, for example, used a metaphor of "the road less traveled," comparing one's life to two roads in the classic poem The Road Not Taken. The metaphor, "all the world is a stage" from the classic Shakespearean play As You Like It , portrays many details about the world through the comparative use of a stage

When we talk about GOD or spirituality, religion is always a subject that we need to touch on. It is a subject that I don’t like to discuss since I don’t want to offend anyone. But because I was born a Muslim and have been religious for a part of the life then I will talk about this subject by taking my own religion as an example. rnThere are so many religions, and almost all people who have religion have taken it in from their parents and relatives, and they believe that

For some of us, we watch the strange goings on in the financial markets, see their effect on the stock market and just shake our heads and wonder.

There is a famous story in the Upanishads which illustrates both the role and the power of work in spiritual practice and realisation. A youth approached a teacher to learn the spiritual truths of existence. The teacher handed over to him 2 head of cattle and said that he would take him up as a formal disciple when he returned with a herd of 1000 cattle. The youth went into the forest, living an isolated life, and focused on how to build the herd up, facing all the difficulties, obstacles and issues, both internal and exte al, over a number of years that it took to accomplish this feat.

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.

Everything We Think About Creates Our World So What Do You Think About? In all the spiritual texts it says the same thing, that everything we think about creates our world. Yet, we see people thinking thoughts of hate, anger, resentment, and envy. So how can we expect anything less taking place in our world?

We feel that there is a world, an entire universe around us. But what we don't realize is that there is another part of the universe that we don’t feel. Let’s call it the "upper" part of the universe.nnPresently, we perceive what our five senses can absorb, and they only allow us to attain a part of the universe called "our world." However, Kabbalists explain that we have the ability to penetrate much deeper. We can delve through our world into nature and perceive the Upp

“We often love things and use people when we should be using things and loving people.”- Howe A successful leader relates to human beings differently from the way he or she attempts to solve a computer problem or a car breakdown. The human psyche is not designed to function in a robot like fashion. Although we may work diligently for hours, and be tough with ourselves and others, deep within, each soul seeks to love and be loved. Although men and women today are highly ca

I don’t think that most people know how important weight training is.

While the Bhagavad Gita provides a strong foundation for the spiritual practice of the Integral Yoga, it was developed within a context of time, place and circumstance that brought it to a certain stage of human evolution and potential. Today, the teachings of the Gita remain relevant, but do not provide the ultimate answers as to the evolutionary process and the role of the human individual within that process. Sri Aurobindo shows that the ancient sages had glimpses and indications of the further steps in the process, but did not focus on them or develop them in their fullness at the time.

Last night I had a dream of some very interesting events. A dream of change and allowing things to flow. In my dream, I was working with a lot of people during the week at work.

In his lectures on Raja Yoga, Swami Vivekananda points out clearly that chasing after powers or siddhis as they are called, is not the aim of the yoga and can be a distraction from the primary goal. They may come, but should not be sought after or made a primary determinant of the yogic process nor set as a goal of any sort. Similarly, Sri Aurobindo has emphasized that the eventual supramental transformation, while it will clearly have impacts on the physical body does not have as its goal the conquest of death or the seeking for immortality of the body.

Oh yes! rnBelieving in God is permissible anytime and in every way. And be it believing in God or worshipping Him, praying to God or realizing Him, or even becoming God ourselves, it always stands to our advantage only! When we believe in or pray to God, we develop humility, which is one of the most essential ingredients for progressing in the right direction. Thus, remembering God, for whatever reason it be, shall ultimately bring good results only. Even where one worships G

For me, “a sweet life” definitely would include sweets. I’ve always said, if my body could survive it, I’d live off yam tempura, donuts, and pretty much chocolate everything else. Most of the time, though, I’m living in moderation to maintain internal balance and keep my skin and digestive system happy and humming along. Having gone through intense food elimination diets, low glycemic diets, no sugar regimens, and anti-inflammatory adventures, I found that over time

Here are a few spiritual ways to know when something is truth and full of love.

We come into this world with Karma from many past lives. And the only way we can change our karma is to change our actions. Here are 3 simple ways to change your karma and enjoy a grace-filled life. Giving Service Without “Me” in Mind It’s important to give service without thinking about “I, Me, and Mine” at any time before, during, and after the activity.

Yet that will not change our Karma, all actions are to be devoid of such ego… and thus we are to be pure of heart and have great humility.

Human beings are talkative creatures. The power of speech, the power of language is one of the most highly developed areas of difference from most other species on the planet (there are other beings that have speech, but to date we have not found them to have the complexity and breadth of capacity for conceptual speech that we find in humanity). We talk about everything, from our daily activities and needs, to subtle concepts of science of philosophy. We have developed numerous languages, and many of these languages have tens of thousands of words.

If you were to buy a cabin in the beautiful Canadian forest without a telephone, without a daily paper, without the internet, but you could drive into town if you needed too. But for the most part, there were no daily connections with the rest of the world would you be in fear? Our Way of Living Creates Fear Our way of living, always being connected to everything creates hypervigilance and stress. Stress is always having something nagging at us… something that never let’s go… thus we are always running away from something which is causing fear.
