For the individual who has a spiritual experience, one of the most notable characteristics is the absolute and incontrovertible ‘reality’ of the experience. Yet, people who live primarily in the surface consciousness tend to treat such experiences, when related, as somehow less real or even unreal, compared to the experience of the outer world. Terms such as dream, hallucination, or delusion frequently are used, and in many cases, the person having such inner experiences is lumped in with those who require some form of counseling or mental health support.

One of the great obstacles to the reception and activation of the higher forces of consciousness are the pre-existing habits of action and reaction in the mind-life-body complex. We are constantly pulled in one direction or another, we react to events and circumstances from our narrow ego-standpoint, and try to enforce our desired results on people and activities. There is no room, in this reactive state, for a new focus and action of consciousness to occur. Thus arises the need to bring the reactive psychology to a state of quiet and receptivity.

In setting forth a goal of transformation of the nature through the advent of the spiritual consciousness and the supramental level, Sri Aurobindo goes beyond the goals of other traditional spiritual paths which have ‘liberation’ as the goal. He describes the impact of each new manifestation of consciousness as representing a radical change that affects the preceding levels. This occurred with the advent of the vital life-force in a world of physical matter, and can be seen also in the advent of mind in a world of life and matter.

One of our favorite spiritual teachers, Abraham-Hicks, is fond of saying that genius is nothing more than continued attention to the same topic. In other words, anyone can be a genius at anything given the right focused attention over a long enough period of time.nnNow, at the beginning of the year, it is the perfect time to ask yourself the question, "What kind of genius do I want to be?" Do you look at works of art by Van Gogh and wish you could put paint to canvas like he

When we eat any kind of animal products including beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, seafood, fish, milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt, and anything else from animals it creates an acidic reaction in the body. And because of that acid, our bodies try to balance that acid by removing calcium from our bones to buffer the acid… thus we create osteoporosis.

To awaken the spirit of the kundalini energy within it’s important to understand the spiritual process of breathing and visualization which helps to empower the kundalini energy up the spine.

“You Have the Power” I was just talking to a young lady who is ill, and she is always looking sad and has this feeling that life is bad. And I was talking to a lady who is just as ill but she always has a smile and a kind word to say about everyone and she gets out and helps other people.

“The Healing Power of Unconditional Love”

I have a friend who is really interested in taking his next step in his spiritual path. And he knows for sure he needs to make a move… yet he is afraid to let go. All the spiritual teachers who have come before such as Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna all had lots of suffering that they endured in order to achieve a state of ONENESS. And there are lots of people who think they can achieve this state without going through some kind of turmoil in their life. In fact, sometimes we have to give up everything in order to attain a higher state of consciousness.

“True Story— A Man Getting What He Wants” “Yet He is Unhappy” Here is a true story of a man who gets exactly what he wants… and now he’s not happy. This is so very common, especially now when our minds are running like crazy… and we don’t know which end is up. And another story also about ego, and integrity, and being our word. And both stories are wrapped in one big package called life. Dr. Paul Haider - Master Herbalist Watch Video and Find Out More Please Subscribe to My Youtube Channel https://youtu.be/jtaabgXgyTU

“And Why Does God Stand By and Let This Happen” Many people have been asking me why the world is in such a terrible place and why God is allowing this to happen. First of all, the energy of God is love and love will never harm anyone no matter what. God only wants that which is for our highest good. And man has been given the power of freedom of choice and our freedom of choice will never be taken away.

In ancient Greek mythology, there is the tale of the 12 labours of Hercules, one of which was cleaning out the Augean stables. He needed to accomplish this task in one day, but there were so many cattle that it was considered an impossible task. And every day the mess was renewed after the cattle returned from pasture in the evening. Hercules was undaunted as he had the help of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. He made a hole on each end of the stables and dug trenches that allowed a river to flow into and out of the stable.

Speech not only can affect one’s own energy, but it can also affect one’s relationship with others and the dynamics of a social relationship and a community. For the most part, people tend to speak whatever comes to them without a great deal (if any) reflection. This practice however can have grave and negative consequences in interpersonal relationships and for any society. The loss of civility, an increase in anger and hatred, polarization are all symptoms of speech that has gone far beyond the bounds within which it acts as a positive influence.

To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. As a result, our concepts of self-worth and self-meaning are muddled. How can we strike a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives? nnTo grow spiri

There is a difference between ‘joy’ and ‘enjoyment’. Enjoyment is a more or less passive state, such as when we enjoy some form of entertainment. Joy, on the other hand, is an active status, which rises spontaneously through involvement and action. If we observe children, we see that they experience a true state of joy when they are able to ‘do’ something, whether it is learning how to jump for the first time, or helping their mother in some activity, or simply running, playing and experiencing life actively.

The Bhagavad Gita proclaims that ‘yoga is skill in works’. The type of focused concentrated effort that comes about through a yogic practice is an essential aspect of completing any task skillfully. It does not imply, however, that all ‘skill in works’ is necessarily yoga, unless by that one includes the secret yoga of nature that prepares the being for union with the Divine through the long, slow process of evolutionary development.

Have you ever asked on your own the question, "Why am I here? Do you think that there is even more to life than where you are right now? Maybe you are having such a hard time keeping that question because you may not be headed in the direction you are supposed to be.

Here in the states we have a holiday called “Thanksgiving” and it’s a time to reflect and count our blessings. And to remember to go inward instead of looking outward. Over the last 50 years for many Thanksgiving has taken on a new feeling. Lots of people think of Thanksgiving as just an excuse for stuffing themselves with lots of food, watching the parade and football game and falling asleep… but that’s not how it all began.

At dawn last Sunday, on my way down from a hill above Bogotá called Monserrate where I had been doing my daily meditation, I was surprised to see recent bloody footprints mixing with the dew on the grass. The flame-red marks grabbed my attention, and contrasted with the pure, transparent dewdrops. I immediately thought that someone had been violently robbed and decided to follow the footprints, which led me back up the hill. nnMy eyes couldn’t believe what they were seeing

Our daily lives are usually so busy we hardly have time to reflect on the bigger picture of our lives. Thankfully, visionaries like Intent Voice Duane Elgin remind us of the biggest picture possible that we can all invest the time to meditate on: the future of humanity and the universe at large.n nAs an internationally recognized speaker, author and social visionary, Duane is no stranger to observing the bigger picture of humanity to aid its continuously evolving consciousnes

When the idea of becoming conscious in sleep is raised, many people try simply to find ways to remain awake somehow in sleep. This process generally leads to exhaustion, and imbalances in the physical, vital and mental complex of the outer nature. Sleep is restorative to their processes, and any attempt to artificially disrupt sleep, with the idea that our mental consciousness must have a way to pay attention to what is going on in sleep, is bound to create problems.

rn rnAs hands-on healers, massage therapists, body workers, we have tremendous responsibility and great opportunity to provide our client’s with an experience of touch that can have a profound impact on their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. This experience begins the moment the client sets up the appointment. The energetic anticipation on the part of both therapist and client has already begun to affect the chemistry that will occur when the client arrives

Question: When your physical body passes, does your energy simply return to the One Source, becoming everything, and nothing, as your own consciousness merges with Go, or do you continue your spiritual journey in the eternal here and now with the ability to consciously merge and separate your Spirit with the choice to merge with God or to experience life in the spiritual or physical realm? rn Answer: rnThe experience and reality you manifest after you leave your physical body

The ancient Mandukya Upanishad describes OM in considerable detail as the sound-body of the Universe: “OM is this imperishable Word, OM is the Universe, and this is the exposition of OM. The past, the present and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be, is OM. Likewise all else that may exist beyond the bounds of Time, that too is OM. All this Universe is the Ete al Brahman, this Self is the Ete al, and the Self is fourfold.” (Sri Aurobindo, The Upanishads, Mandukya Upanishad 1-2, pg. 319)

One level of the deep ignorance within which we live and act is our bondage to the specific individual life, personality and situation that we inhabit. We are generally unaware of anything prior to our birth or which occurs after our death. Some even take the view that there is no “meaning” and that birth and death are simply beginning and ending points of a meaningless existence. If that were true, however, we would be left with the question of how and why this enormous mechanism of the universal creation exists and why we need to experience, learn and grow at all.

Western medical science holds that illness has several potential causes. Failing to digest food properly is one such cause. Stress on the body and its organ systems is another. A third is failure to obtain proper nutrition or fluids. Aging is considered a contributing factor in the breakdown of the bodily systems and reduction of the ability to withstand stress and exte al attack.

“Powerful Cancer Agent, Heals Respiratory Conditions, Heals UTI”

I had a lady contact me yesterday who lost her son a couple of years ago and she is still grieving and blaming herself even though she had nothing to do with his death. She’s signed up to go to a FREE 10 Day Vipassana Meditation Retreat to let go of all her pent-up emotion and find inner peace. But, inside she still doesn’t love herself. How do we learn to love the one we see in the mirror?

Before we can deal with thoughts, we need to have at least a basic understanding of what they are and where they come from, what they consist of, and what the purpose of thought is. Yet, we rarely if ever examine these questions and simply take thought for granted as something necessary and permanent and a part of our own being.

I got an email this morning from a deeply spiritual friend of mine wanting to know what I thought. What I think is that his message of prophetic doom raises the singular question of the spiritual life, which is . . .rn Who is your God? rn“Compelled by the Holy Spirit,” Rev.

Practice the daily practices on a regular basis to support yourself on the spiritual path. Our spiritual path is a journey of the soul where you need to have essentials in order to traverse the trail with ease. Practice the daily practices beginning with the breath, prana or life force energy. Begin your day by taking 3 cleansing breaths. Breathe in love, light, healing energy. Breathe out pain, old emotional energy and all that no longer serves you.

Surveys done of young people today indicate a strong movement to reduce the role of the mainstream organised religions with people claiming to be “spiritual” not “religious”. What is spirituality and how does it differ from being religious?
