Karma and the Evolution of Consciousness

Karma, held within us as unresolved, unhealed or incomplete past, manifest as external reflections through the law of sympathetic attraction. The degree of intensity of the internal energy of the karma and it's layers of emotional and mental energy will exactly be reflected by the intensity of energy that manifests as our life circumstances. When we are 'present' to our triggered response to the reflections of our karma, we allow the held energy to move and therefor transform

Religion, Fanaticism and Divine Truth

Adherents of virtually all religious traditions want to believe that their own religion is the one “true” religion, and all others are false, mistaken or imperfect. This belief reinforces their own faith and thus, enhances the satisfaction of the vital ego. In some cases, however, this belief goes far beyond an inner feeling and becomes an outer expression of fanatic belief that tries to enforce the position of the religion against that of everyone who is not a believe in that particular creed.

The Vital Nature and Its Transformation

As each phase of the evolution of consciousness manifests, it arises from the prior stage and continues to interact with that stage. At the point of meeting, the stages take on characteristics that resemble in many ways both together. Thus, the higher forms of Matter begin to exhibit characteristics of response, such as increased conductivity, responsiveness to stimuli, such as heat and cold, pressure and stress that presage the responses we observe in life.

“We are Truly a WE”

“Even from a Purely Scientific Standpoint, We are a Trillions of Beings” Down through the ages we have heard in all the spiritual texts that it’s important to move away from “I, ME, and MINE” to the “WE” and understand we are all part of the greatness of everything. But from a purely scientific point of view, we are a truly a “WE”. Our Gut

Anxiety and Fear

Anxiety and fear are constant companions in life for animals, as well as for human beings. Becoming food for a predator is an existential fear that stalks the animal kingdom, but it is not just this fear that human beings engage in. There is fear of failure, fear of being humiliated, fear of being attacked, robbed, raped, or arrested. Fear of being scammed or scapegoated. Fear of loss, fear of injury, fear of illness, and fear of death. There is also the constant undercurrent of anxiety that represents a low level manifestation of fear.

Is It Just Me...? (No; It's The Heart)

Is it just me or do I detect that things are beginning to shift in the world? Intent.com is definitely part of this cahnge. In addition I’ve recently had some wonderful conversations with Dutch film-maker Baptist de Pape , composer Han Kooreneefe and with Lilou Mace. The theme in each case had to do with keeping our minds and our hearts open, and endeavoring to live less from the brain and the ego and more from the spirit. It’s easy to say that - of course - but harder to

Cosmic Truth and Cosmic Ignorance: the Unity and the Multiplicity

The Isha Upanishad describes the dual aspects of Reality, the Ignorance and the Knowledge: “Into a blind darkness they enter who follow after the Ignorance, they as if into a greater darkness who devote themselves to the Knowledge alone. Other, verily it is said, is that which comes by the Knowledge, other that which comes by the Ignorance; this ithe lore we have received from the wise who revealed That to our understanding.

The Attempt to Change Human Nature at All Levels of the Being

It is a well-known occurrence. We have a wonderful experience in meditation and come back filled with light, a feeling of joy or bliss, an open heart and a sense of realisation. Then we go out to act in the world and all the old impulses arise, the feelings of desire, the drive of control, impulses of anger or lust, mental arrogance and an attempt to enforce our view on others, whatever it may be.

The Four Parts of the Vital Being: Their Functions and Their Seats

For those who focus on liberation from the worldly life, it is not much of a consideration to understand the exact details of the vital nature. If they can find a way to eliminate or reduce its action overall, so that they can concentrate on the process of liberation, that is considered sufficient. For those, however, who take up the goal of the integral yoga to transform earthly life into a divine life, it is extremely helpful to understand the distinctions between different aspects of the vital nature, and thereby begin to work on the process of change in a very detailed manner.

Glimpses and Experiences of the Inner Being, and the Shift of the Consciousness from the Outer to the Inner

If we focus on the experience of our normal, daily lives, we will find that it can be characterised by a specific feeling or quality that we know as our usual experience. While each individual may have a different characterisation of this experience, some happy, some sad, some joyful, some filled with pain, the preoccupation with the exte al body, life-energy and mind, the perceptions of the senses, the relationships we have with others and our experience of the environment within which we live, are the primary factors for virtually everyone.

How long can a Pure Soul remain Pure?"

Pure Soul has, is and shall always remain ‘Pure’ in all circumstances.The Soul is always pure, totally pure. Soul is the real Self of everyone. Whether it be a baby or an adult or a Senior Citizen, whether it be an animal or a tree or a human being, the Soul, which is the real Self of everyone, is the same. Always! These outer projections are all temporary and are mere transitory phases. But the Soul residing within each exterior is of a uniform quality. Soul is nothing b

Jesus, The First "Mr. Universe"

In The Last Word on Power, one of the foremost experts on transformational leadership Tracy Goss writes that one cannot do the “impossible” simply by changing the various activities that one does. Rather, to accomplish the impossible, Goss teaches, one must first actually allow oneself to be changed. Personal transformation, Goss says, is the only way to make the so-called “impossible” happen. nnGoss calls her teachings “non-religious.” Yet her methodology on “e

Liberation Should Precede the Attainment of the Cosmic Consciousness

The ego-personality actually can be a form of protection for the unprepared soul in the world, as it limits the range and power of action. If a person breaks out of the framework provided by the small ego-personality, and comes into contact with and active conscious interaction with the larger universal, cosmic forces, this can result in an enlarged form of egotism and lead to devastating results due to the self-aggrandisement that can occur, combined with the greater powers at play at that level.

The Spirit, the Soul and the Psychic Being

There is considerable confusion about the various terms used to describe the spiritual quest and the reality of our individual existence. Sri Aurobindo distinguishes and defines the different aspects or elements and their role in spiritual practice. There is additional confusion around the term “psychic being”. The term “psychic” is used in a vastly different sense in today’s society, and thus, his use of the term can be easily misunderstood.

“All Animals Feel and Need Compassion and Love”

Yesterday morning I found a beautiful little dog that someone had dumped on the sidewalk down the street from our house. The little dog had water and food and would not move from that spot because he was so afraid and it was starting to rain. And I was walking our two small dogs when I saw him and I said to God… “If he is still here when we get back from our walk I will take him home”.

“Probiotics and Natural Childbirth”

Probiotics are very important for every aspect of life. From the very second we are born we are to be inoculated with bacteria and thus our immune system is given a jump start. Living life in completely sterile conditions is not good our immune system. We need to have a robust immune system, and that only happens if we are in contact with bacteria. And having probiotics in our gut during birth is vitally important for the health and well being of our children.

The Need for a Direct Experience of the Reality of Existence

At the end of all our speculation, logic, reasoning, and opinions, we find that we are plagued by uncertainty and doubt in our minds about the meaning of our existence, our purpose in the world and the reality of the universal creation. We can recognize that what we observe through our senses is subject to error and misinterpretation. We also can recognize that however far we take our mental reasoning, it always ends in an inability to obtain certainty.

What Is Meant By the Concept of Mental Health?

For the most part, Western psychology is focused on treating what is considered ‘abnormal’ in order to help an individual fit into society and act ‘normally’. Much focus is put on exte al causes of various forms of disturbance and how the individual can adjust, adapt or respond to those disturbances. The approach leads to a constant need for ‘therapy sessions’ as there are countless causes of disturbance, looked at from an exte al standpoint, all the time in everyone’s life.

The Divine Grace and Spiritual Realisation

The pivotal role and importance of Divine Grace in the spiritual realisation comes about because all humanity is essentially locked into the framework of our normal mental-vital standpoint and thus, cannot truly transform the consciousness without something intervening from outside this framework. This is a dual process of preparation, receptivity and acceptance from the side of the individual, and the influence of the higher principle or force that exerts the pressure for change.

The Essential Role of Supermind in the Transformation of Mind-Life-Body

The aspiration and goal of seekers from time immemorial is the Ete al, which represents a status outside of the normal functioning of body-life-mind, that is, outside our normal experience. Through achievement of samadhi, the consciousness enters into the experience of pure existence, consciousness and bliss, Sat-Chit-Ananda. This is an “undifferentiated” state that is pure and unmoving. This status, while being the underlying basis and frame for the active movement of the universal energy in its manifestation, is not one that actively and dynamically creates that manifestation.

Our senses are in complete control over our lives, they run the show so to speak, and can create havoc in our lives if we allow them to take over. But how do we take back our lives? The senses control our outer world and the more we are consumed with our outworld the more our senses play havoc with our life… and start to make us feel agitated, upset, full of anger, and we lose peace of mind. Our total sensory control also brings about pride, greed, hatred, and anxiety… all of which need to be curbed.
