If we recognize that the two extremes, matter and spirit, despite their apparent and irreconcilable opposition, both speak to some deep seated truth within the human sense, then we can begin to accept the idea that this is not a matter of one being “true” and the other being “false”, but rather, that each of these extremes actually manifests an important principle of existence and its significance.

When my son, Jonathan, was much younger,I would try to help him with some of his tasks, whether it was his homework, chores or even just plain, simple advice. Many a time he would look at me in exasperation and say, "I know that, dad." Even when he did solicit my help directly, he would listen, but not "hear" what I had to say.nnnNow,mind you, I do not claim to be a paragon of excellent advice or wisdom, but many of the things I told him would have saved him tremendous amount

When people take up spiritual practices, they are exposed to many different ideas about the proper diet. With the idea that ‘you are what you eat’, there is a long list of foods that are considered suitable for spiritual practitioners to eat, what are called in the ancient traditions of India, ‘sattwic’ foods. Foods that are considered rajasic, or tamasic are to be avoided. This has led to some very strict dietary regiments which pick out certain foods as helpful and others as detrimental to spiritual growth.

If we ask almost anyone where thoughts come from, they will say that they are produced in the brain. The brain is some kind of thought-factory. They don’t know how. They don’t know why. They don’t know what causes certain thoughts to develop. They recognise that sense perceptions influence the thoughts; in other words, that the vibrations that we receive from outside our individuality through our senses provoke some process in the brain and this leads to the creation of various forms of thought.

“Break the Sugar Habit and Stay Healthy” Sugar in large amounts and over long periods of time causes the body to be lacking in many nutrients that the body needs. That’s why it’s so important to break the sugar craving and do away with eating sugar in general. Eat fruit, eat veggies, and eat whole grains, eat whole-foods and stay healthy. Sugar Lowers Vitamin D Level - Sugar lowers Vitamin D in the body thus creating a poor mood and lowering down calcium that is needed for strong bones.

“A Prayer for All Life on the Planet” It’s up to us to ask God, the Universe, and the One and Only to help humanity come together for the good of everyone and everything. Here is a prayer asking for love to flourish on earth… thus healing all the challenges we have right now. This prayer is important— please feel free to share.

“The Power of Prayer and Meditation” 18 months ago a man from Australia contacted me because he was not doing well with his business and his life in general. He had lost his life’s purpose… and he was very depressed… he did not know what to do… so he emailed me. Learning Meditation and Prayer

At one time in my life I lived in a 6 by 9 foot little room with no windows, no running water, no bathroom, and no kitchen, I really had nothing. But eventually I survived and thrived through that whole process… with the help of God.

Most people are attached to their daily pleasures here on earth. But when we detach from those earthly pleasures we find bliss which can’t be found on this earthly plane. Take for instance if we become thirsty while walking through the desert and need water badly. And them come across a spring full of fresh cool water, then all of a sudden we have great gratitude for the simple ability to drink water. Something that we take for granted most of the time. Yet only through the austerity of not having water do we have gratitude for water.

On average we have 30,295 days on this planet. And when it’s all said and done, and you are laying in the hospital bed or bed at home with your family waiting for your last breath… what will you say? Just adding up how many days we have kind of shocked me… just 30,295 days…that’s 83 years times 365 days. And 83 years is the average lifespan for those of us in the US. When we look at that number 30,295 days… it doesn’t seem like much. But it all boils down to how we use our time. What Will You Say on Your Last Day? Some Will Say: Well, it was a great run.

The world is full of sensual pleasures. They grasp our attention, and once we indulge in them, we feel like we need more and more to be satisfied. Without them, we often feel tense and agitated, due to a craving for more. Such worldly pleasures and attachments drive us away from spiritual progress, they make us engrossed in the relative world, identifying strongly with our relative selves, rather than seeing our true selves (Pure Soul). rn Sex is referred to as Vishaya, or an

Is Brahmacharya only celibacy?rnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “The constant awareness of ‘I am a Pure Soul’ is supreme brahmacharya. There is no other bramacharya like that.” Brahmacharya means charya in Brahma. One who dwells in the Self is on the path of Brahman. rnOne who is on the path of Brahman, the glow of his Aura of brilliance is apparent, his power of mind is extra-ordinary, his speech is very sweet and his actions win you over. Such are his qualities. A pe

There is an illustrative tale in the Mahabharata. The Pandava and Kaurava princes were being instructed by their noted teacher Dronacharya. Today’s lesson was ‘not to become angry’. The 100 Kaurava princes were asked if they had learned the lesson and they all replied in the affirmative. The 4 youngest Pandavas replied similarly. When Dronacharya came to the eldest, Yudhisthira, who was being groomed as the next king of Hastinapur, he received an unexpected reply, namely, that he had not learned the lesson. The next day the scene repeated, with the same result.

Ongoing occasions have expanded the interest for virtual admittance to industry information, intuitive meetings drove by industry specialists and systems administration openings with peers.

We have 37.2 trillion cells in our body and they all communicate with one another. And we have many things that are getting in the way of that communication that we can change and heal and thus become healthy. Also, we have other ways of communicating that we have not even touched upon in this lifetime that needs to be acknowledged and used for the good of all. Many Blessings to Everyone!

There was a man who was abused when he as a child, not physically but his mother and father did not take the time to help him when he needed help and to be there for him during his childhood. Then later in life he had an accident and became a paraplegic and was not able to get around. But his unconscious anger was still brewing in the background.

Science has now shown that love is very important for brain development. When we are born we start making neurological connections in our brain at the rate of 1000 connections per second - Wow! And as we grow science has also found that the one thing that strengthen those neurological connections more than anything else is love. Not food, not exercise, and not deep breathing… just good old fashioned love.

When we see someone struggling, or when we ourselves are struggling, with some feeling, emotion, thought, idea, force of illness, or just feeling some pressure, we usually associate these with our internal experience of reality, but nevertheless, the fact that forces and influences come from outside, from our social environment, for example, does not escape us. People will frequently get advice to avoid certain places, people or circumstances as being a ‘bad influence’ on them. Some of this influence is overt, directed pressure, whether we call it the press of circumstances or peer pressure.

We all living beings are dependent on each other, not only for meeting our basic needs of survival, but also for our physical, mental and emotional well-being. We are happy when we have good worldly comforts and healthy relationships with our near and dear ones; but feel unhappy when there is dearth of desired material objects or there is instability in any of our relationships in life. This leads one to wonder if it is possible to be happy without depending on anyone. If yes

Who would’ve known that by attending a fund raiser on a cold evening in March ten years ago, was about to be the catalyst for spiritual growth and self discovery. That evening as I casually walked passed several tables with items to bid on, something caught my eye as I looked down directly in front of me. It read, ‘A weekend stay at Clare’s Well Retreat Center’. . I actually had no idea what I was getting myself into. All I could think about was having

At some point in their spiritual quest, seekers are generally confronted with the question of ‘fasting’. Some paths recommend fasting as a method to lighten the heaviness of the ‘earth consciousness’ and make the being more receptive to higher vibrational energies. Some point out that fasting aids in achieving a ‘vision quest’. Some practice fasting to habituate the body to become less reliant on the material energy and switch its source of energy to higher vital and eventually spiritual realms.

"At that point the Spirit sent him out toward the desert. He stayed in the wasteland forty days, put to the test there by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and angels waited on him." - The Gospel of Mark "I can resist everything...except for temptation." - Oscar Wilde I strain to see through the descending twilight. "How much farther big brother?" Jesus of Nazareth turns and smiles "just a little more." Then he holds up his hand, motioning for me to stop. He lowers himself

Question for Deepak: I am 43, female American, Hispanic, raised in a Catholic family. Since early childhood, I've had doubts in the teachings of the Church. At 10, I felt that the Sister teaching catechism class was "lying" to me, expecting the children to believe the bible stories she taught as if they were true. As a teenager, I attended the churches of my friends, seeking words that would make some sense to me and found none. I feel guilty that, in my heart, I am not a Chr

If you are suffering from calorie cravings and you are thinking of reducing calories but you are still enjoying or planning to enjoy great drinks. Drinkerrs is one of the best places to buy low calorie for you. Calories are just counting numbers!rnCalories were a very trendy item in our trapping days. It was important to drop the giant burger when you got the chance because it was hard to tell when you would bring another down. Now that most of us don't literally follow up on

Jealousy is one of those deeply rooted vital reactions that are not amenable to being “convinced” to change by mental logic. Highly educated, refined individuals are also subject to jealousy when appropriate circumstances arise, and as with other such deeply rooted reactions, the vital overpowers the mental will.

As human beings, we are enamored of dynamic power. We want “action” and the powers of the body, the life energy and the mind are prized when they can accomplish visible results. We have proverbs such as “might makes right” which make it seem like strength in action is the most positive attribute. We carry this viewpoint into everyday interactions. If we feel challenged, we tend to respond with an aggressive, active response. The Old Testament of the Bible sets forth the idea of “an eye for an eye” as a way to respond to actions of others.

“In Fact, It Creates a Terrible Life” I had a person come to me yesterday that lives in the UK, she is upset with her life and she was putting herself down. Almost every word out of her mouth was a negative thought about herself. Does Negative Self-Talk Help? When we have negative self-talk going on all the time we start a downward spiral of thinking. If we say “I Am Not Pretty” or “I Will Never Get Married” or “I Will Never Have Kids” and on and on. Where do you think that kind of thinking leads? We are Impressing Negative Self-Talk on our Unconscious Mind

If we look at the world from the perspective of love then everything that comes our way is always for our highest good. But are we willing to see life that way?

Every single day that we go out into the world we broadcast a message to everyone about who we are and what we stand for. But much of the time we are not conscious of what we are doing and thus our message is counter acted in many ways. Here is what we can do to take control of our message, and be powerful, and spread love.

Burn out can happen to anyone whether you are a highly successful parent, business man or woman, combat veteran, military spouse, caregiver, student. Let me put it this way, if you are living and breathing you are susceptible to burn out. Burn out is allowing your energy resources to be drained from you without replenishing its supply by taking care of yourself. It is necessary to honor your own being in giving yourself the highest priority of care. It’s not putting yoursel

If we understand the Navkar mantra correctly and chant it without any bias or partiality, then our bad karmas will certainly shed and conflicts in our household will diminish. We will be able to overcome the obstacles and difficulties that come in our life with greater forbearance.rn rnI understood the deeper meaning of every line of the mantra from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan; and how the addition of obeisance to Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva makes the mantra further impartial.

Avoidance of suffering may be considered as a ‘negative’ status. Achievement of happiness is the positive pole of this continuum. Both states are rooted in the mind and the standpoint that the individual takes. When the scriptures speak of “evil thoughts” or “purified thoughts” this is not directly intended to be a moral judgment; rather it is a statement of the energetic source and impact of the thoughts that are entertained and held in the mind. Those that are based in the ego-personality and the desire-soul, that bring disturbance, enhance suffering and cause pain are ‘evil’ thoughts.

When an illness strikes the body, its energy must go to recuperation and rebuilding its basic strength. For a practitioner of yoga, as well as for those who have a developed mental or emotional consciousness, or an aesthetic sense, the recuperation and rebuilding phase can be irksome, as there is a desire to continue the normal activities and progress in whatever the individuals’ focus normally tends to be. We tend to begrudge the time needed for the body’s recuperation and we exhibit impatience and in some cases, we overdo the activity at too early a stage.

Questions such as why we are here and why is it that we are experiencing a particular situation in life kept hammering my mind all the while, until I found a much satisfying answer to it that ‘It is the result of our previous karmas.’ Merit karmas yield positive results like: success, satisfying relationships, or things that brings comfort in life. On the other side, demerit karmas yield negative results like: failures, negativity or worldly obstacles faced in life. WHAT

“Quantum Healing is One Thing that Modern Medicine Does Not Have” At one time, not long ago, when we got ill we went to see the shaman the village, the tribal healer, the high lama and other healers.

The other day a person said, “I had to speak up and get things off my chest, I was so angry at my mother I could hardly hold myself, but it really didn’t change anything”.

In our modern society we have come to a point of no return. We have taken our psychological approach of the growth of an individual to the extreme. Now we are seeing the outcome of that process.

Right now we have men with lots of knowledge but very little wisdom. And that’s why are on the brink of nuclear destruction. Our education system needs to be refurbished if the human race is to survive and thrive for thousands of years to come. But What Should We Teach? Here are a few recommendations that have been handed down through the ages in all the spiritual texts.

On the average we don’t acknowledge our greatness and we constantly worry about what happen yesterday and what might happen tomorrow. But we are made of nothing less than that which is omnipotent and omnipresent… and failure does not exist in the eyes of the Great One.

The first of the seven chakras of the human body is called the root chakra. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel, and the Sanskrit name of the first chakra is ‘muladhara’ which means root or base. As the name suggests, this chakra is located at the base of the spine, in between the anus and genitals. As there is energy stored under this chakra, the chakra is often called the coiled serpent. It is possible to revive and stimulate this energy by focusing on it through

A New York City businessman decided to avoid a service charge by replacing a seven-foot fluorescent tube himself. He smuggled the new tube into his office.

So he decided to dump it there.nn He got on the subway that night, holding the tube with the end resting on the floor. More and more passengers got on the train and took hold of the

A Guru is the One who gives us guidance in life; who gives the right direction to our life. rnGuru removes the ignorance and disorder from our life, and brings meaning and discipline into our life. Without a Guru, one cannot progress! Be it a Teacher in school or a Master in spirituality, if there would be no Guru in our life, we would lose out in life, for it would have made life unruly and directionless. Come, let’s verify this through an Akram Science experiment: Assumpt
