Kundalini energy is described as a flame that starts at the base of the spine and works it’s way up the chakras to bring enlightenment to all areas of life. This power has also been called an entity, a life form that has it’s own personality. And some even go as far as to call kundalini energy a living being. A power greater than we have ever encounter before in our mind/body that must be appeased.

Once a man asked, “When Will my Guru, Saint, and God Inca ate Return?”… and a powerful guru said: “You’re Looking Through the Eyes of that Guru.” Basically what the guru said, is that it’s important that we become self-realized, to move from our passive understanding that we are helpless to become the great Christ Consciousness, and this is where meditation plays a very important role. Because when we sleep and we have a dream we wake up and say “That was a dream” but when we have a powerful spiritual experience we AWAKEN and say “All of this is a dream.”
If there is something that needs to be healed let it be healed with love. If there is a something that we feel is wrong in the world let not anger and hatred to take over but unconditional love. For hate is the absence of love and whenever there is hate in the world we can hear people crying with tears running down their faces, which tells everyone there is a void that needs to be filled. A void it’s trying to pull in as much love as possible in order to heal all wounds.

is there a solution to the Israel/Palestine Problem? There is so much history and so much hatred built up. Acts of overt terrorism, including attacks on civilian targets, women, children, etc. are not justifable. The Israelis righfully point out that they have a right to defend themselves, their homes and families and should be able to expect to live in peace and peaceful harmony with their neighbors.
The idea of changing the basic way that human beings respond to circumstances is one that has been considered to be a virtually hopeless task. Long human experience has provided the impression that our vital nature is fixed and, while we can perhaps soften it around the edges, it is basically impossible to change. Thus, there are various directions that humanity has explored to overcome the limitations of the vital being.
There are many reasons which inspire devotees to make offerings to God or deities in temples. But ultimately, it is our faith that draws us to make any offering to God. And this very faith of ours in turn produces results. The stronger our faith, the greater are the results. Some of the reasons behind offering flowers, fruit, etc. to God at temples are: â¢Some do it to illustrate the love and dedication they have for the God. rnâ¢For few, itâs a ritual they have been taug
Mantra:rnMantra is a means to still the mind. It protects the mind by making it calm and quiet. Whenever some problem comes in life, our mind gets upset, âWhat will happen? What will happen of this, of that?â At that time, if you chant mantra, it stabilizes your mind. Thus, mantra gives peace and protection to mind. Moreover, while chanting mantra, we bow with veneration to God. Faith arises in us that, âI am saying this mantra. So, things will be good. I have taken the
Centering our mind on particular thoughts heals the outer vibration of the soul. Thus the body is healed. See the Good in All Things - When we allow ourselves to see the good even where most people are looking at the bad we are healing our spiritual essence. We are much more than this flesh and blood we call the body, and when we focus only on the good we uplift our spirit and thus we also heal the body.

Psychological tests and experiments have shown that each individual sees exte al events from their own perspective and thereby bring their personal biases, albeit unintentionally, to what they observe and how they understand situations. What the senses perceive is enhanced and filled in by the mind, using our store of experience, expectations, etc. to create a ‘picture’ of the event that we then interpret from our unique perspective.
Most children focus on their need for food, emotional comfort and play, which is a means of gaining knowledge and power of action for them. As they move into later stages of life, they can get fixated on attaining good grades in school, making friends, hobbies and sports. As they reach puberty, thoughts and focus may turn to relations with the opposite sex, along with determining an academic or a career path. Then comes generally a time in life when an individual may be focused on career, a home, accumulation of weatlh, and family life. Some wind up seeking after power or influence.
My needs, my wants, my likes and dislikes, my feelings, my emotions, my ideas, my goals and aspirations — all of these things are the signs of the ego-consciousness at work, overcoming the law of inertia that says that a body at rest tends to stay at rest. All of humanity is immersed in the ego-consciousness and acts based on motivations dictated by that consciousness. In fact, we believe that without the impulsion of the ego, no progress would take place or be possible. We live within the limit and frame of the ego, and cannot see beyond it as long as we are encased within that frame.
From a superficial perspective it is virtually impossible to understand the development of consciousness from Matter to Life, and from Life to Mind, and beyond. We now recognize that our beliefs and actions are conditioned by factors unseen and essentially unknown to us. C. G. Jung described the “collective unconscious” where many factors, not obvious to our conscious minds, lead us to act and react to situations, people and circumstances, including desires, tendencies, and impulsions of various sorts.
Lots of people pray but much of the time their prayers are not answered because of a lack of sincerity. But as soon as a person opens their heart and decides that they will follow whatever God has in mind for them… miracles happen.
Most people get ‘wound up’ occasionally or frequently. This leads to what is called in Ayurveda ‘deranged vata’. Vata is the dosha that represents the air element in the being. The symptoms can include nervous tics, headaches, indigestion, insomnia, and a general feeling of lack of ease or peace. This can be occasioned by worry, anticipation, or nervous exhaustion, overloaded senses, and in today’s modern world, perhaps one of the biggest culprits is interfacing with various electronic devices, such as TV sets, cell phones or tablets, computers, etc.
Our body is connected to our mind and Soul. Therefore, a healthy body is indicative of the healthy state of our overall well being. Now, we all know that by doing regular workouts, making conscious changes in our diet and improving our overall life-style, we can bring about good changes in health. But do you know that for this, Celibacy is the most wonderful thing to practice, because it is good not only for our body but also for our mind and spirituality. Letâs see how: HO

There has been a long-standing debate between those who believe in the power of mental development, under the rubric of ‘science’ and those who believe in the power of faith and spiritual aspiration, under the general terminology of ‘religion’. A similar debate rages between the position of academia and the paths of spiritual yoga. We prize high mental intelligence, particularly when it is focused on making our life in the material world more comfortable or rewarding.
The character we exhibit today is a result of the past, whether we start from the underlying habitual patterns of human nature, or perhaps even go back farther to the patterns of the vital animal nature.
While the integral Yoga does not depend on the techniques or methods of the traditional yogic paths, Sri Aurobindo has identified several processes that can be of great help in some cases. They help the seeker achieve a state of separation from the outer ego-personality and vital desire-soul, to be able to recognise the motives, impulsions and habitual actions and reactions of the outer nature, so that they can be distinguished and either changed or transformed under the pressure of the yogic process.
Many people have lots of issues around eating. In fact until a person comes to a point in their lives that they have to change their eating habits they really don’t know how much of a habit eating really is. Recent studies about fast food showed that almost 80% of the people said they were not willing to give up their eating habit even if it meant not being healthy. But there are many ways to overcome our eating habit.

To understand the complexity of any individual’s destiny, it is essential to note that it is comprised of an amalgam of the streams of energy that flow through each aspect of his being. Thus, there is a physical destiny, a vital destiny, a mental destiny, a spiritual destiny, each following the track based on the cause and effect of past actions and trajectories. These then begin to impact one another such that a vital force may disturb or disrupt the physical basis of the being, for instance.
The Spiritual Scriptures Hold the Sacred Words Spoken by the Lord Himselfrn rnSpiritual scriptures are the Lordâs spoken words to help us conduct our lifestyle in the right direction and lift us up in the Spiritual realm, the end goal of which is liberation from all kinds of suffering. These sacred scriptures are revered by those who understand their value. They are divine instruments that inspire us to know our real identity and get us ready to seek the invisible. But spok

Spiritual Realisations and Experiencesr Posted on April 1, 2023r
Suggestions are not just directed at the mind; nor are they restricted in their impact on just the mind. We are used to the process of people making suggestions to us constantly about what we could, or should, do or how we could, or should, respond to a situation. We weigh these suggestions not solely with mental logic, but with emotional reactions, vital feelings and even, in some cases, physical responses.
Lion tamers, horse whisperers, dog trainers, all learn certain things about how to bring the vital nature into a compliant and participatory mood, to carry out the wishes of the trainer. They quickly learn that they cannot simply allow these vital beings the absolute license to do whatever they feel like doing; rather, they need to follow the direction and guidance of their trainer.
Every Life Is Connected To Its Previous LifernThe seeds of karma are sown in the past life, and they bear fruits in this life. So, whatever we are experiencing in our life today is nothing but the result of our past life karma. This is the reason why the past life karma has so much of significance. Suppose there is a big crowd assembled in a ground. And suddenly, a snake comes and bites a person; he yells and falls down unconscious. The question that arises at this point is t
Dear Heart, I am writing you this letter to let you know that you are right. That no matter what we brains do in the world… it doesn’t seem to be enough. You’ve been telling me this for a very long time, but I was not willing to listen, because my ego was getting in the way. Perhaps it’s time you took the lead, and made the world a better place.
If we are to merge with that Great Infinite Spirit of Love in this lifetime then there are a few things we need to do. First we have to learn to love, how can we merge with love and love others if we are not able to love the one we see in the mirror… it’s impossible. And those who are not full of love will go on through many lifetimes, perhaps billions of life times before they learn to love— it’s all part of the process of moving towards the light.
We are all part of the CIA, but it’s not the Central Intelligence Agency. We are “Constant Integrated Awareness” of all that did exist in the past, all that will exist in the future, and all that exists now. We are ONE with everything.
Today someone asked: “Where have all the good people gone” and here is the answer. All the good people in the world who are doing great deeds are the neighbors you have next door. The ones who give money to feed the poor, the ones who work at the food banks on Saturday to make sure everyone has something to eat. They are the people who pray for the healing of the world, and adopt homeless child across the land. They are the ones who adopt children with disabilities and have up to 15 or more disabled children at home.

What is consciousness? How can we understand consciousness separate from what we believe to be ourselves, the body, vital force and mental framework that we identify with? Philosophers, scientists and religious leaders have all tried to develop a definition of “consciousness”. Rene Descartes famously declared ‘I think, therefore I am.’ Subsequent researchers in the field of consciousness have challenged this statement, and spiritual practitioners experience pure awareness without the movement of thought in the mental field.
That which is happening today is a result of karma! rnEverything that we experience through our five senses, throughout our present life is actually a result of our own karma (causes) that we bound in past life. The karma bound in the previous life are in the form of a plan, as though designed on a piece of paper. And later, when it materializes and comes into fruition, it is called fate (prarabdha). It is through intention that one binds karma.rnEg. One may see some criminal
“Anti-inflammatory, Lowers Blood Sugar, Lowers Blood Pressure, Great for Cancer, Kills Bacteria, Great for Ulcers, Improves Cognitive Function and More”
My wife had a dream last week. She didn’t really understand her dream until her late husband’s mother passed away. It was a premonition of events that were about to take place. In my wife’s dream, she was in a house with her late husband and someone else. She could not make out the face of the other person. And they were about to take some stairs and her late husband said, “No You Can’t Come With Us Now” so my wife was left behind. And my wife told me about her dream in the morning.
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that certain individuals, by virtue of their innate status as superior beings, could not be bound by social rules or morality or ethics. While the implication may be understood to apply to those who have evolved beyond the ‘need’ for such contextual social rules, the actual understanding and application of his philosophy has made it clear that social norms were able to be trampled underfoot by those who declared themselves to be superior.
There have been lots of studies showing that meditation can heal ADD and ADHD and thus make a powerful change in the lives of lots of men, women, and children who are suffering from this challenge. The University of Califo ia did a study with children showing that teaching children meditation who had ADD created marked improvements in cognitive function, attention span, and a decrease in anxiety and depression.
Sometimes we have to put a stop to what’s going on. Take for instance a young lady who was verbally abused at work to the point that she cried. Thus we have to stand up and connect with our God within and say “No More” and thus protect ourselves, others, and especially the innocent.
Karma is put in motion through previous lives, and we come back again and again in order to makeup for the many times when we lose our way. And Great Spirit puts tasks before us, those things that will nullify our past karma if we are willing to accept those challenges. Acceptance is the first step towards changing our karma. Once we accept our challenges we move forward one step at a time. Or we take another step back because we don’t accept the challenge.
Millet contains lots of protein, it’s gluten-free, prevents diabetes, prevents gallbladder stones, it’s good for digestion, improves our mood, it’s calming, helps prevent cancer, helps prevent asthma, has a low glycemic index, contains lots of vitamins, lots of magnesium, it’s antimicrobial, anti-yeast, anti-fungal. And millet boosts up our immune system, it’s great for strong bones, important for having a healthy liver and kidneys, and millet can help feed all the starving people of the world.
There remains considerable confusion about the role of will-power in the development of the spiritual life of the individual. On the one side, the seeker is asked to not give in to the force of vital desire, and the will is often confused with desire. Thus, the idea of acting without desire is also equated with the negation of the use of will-power. On the other side, the seeker is asked to utilize will-power to control desire and, when an excessive force is used, this can lead to suppression and active self-torture, which do not lead to liberation.
When we read Sri Aurobindo’s aphorism noted below, we tend to focus on the second part of the equation, the “bar” to achieving the higher result. There is an implication thereby that we have already achieved the first part and that we are thus ready to proceed to the next phase or stage of inner growth. In some cases, we assign a moral value to the two states and try to apply this generally, such that we treat desire and ego as bad things that need to be removed, and we may even go so far as to try to extrapolate this to others, not just for our own spiritual growth.
The Mother illustrates the difficulty of transforming the vital nature. None of this is either fast or easy, given the complexity of human nature and, in particular, the vital being. There are also deeply entrenched habits of action and reaction and a general force of vital nature that lives in the collective environment, and thus, can always impact the individual, even if he happens to have made substantial progress within his own psychological identity.
