Quantum physics continues to make believers out of scientists and informs spirituality.nnMost of us grew up believing what scientists believed. We “knew” that a cell’s nucleus contained its DNA, that DNA contains genetic material, and that the nucleus of a cell therefore functioned as its brain. We believed that the genetics coded into these cellular “brains” determined our physical characteristics, our health, and even our personalities. nnFormer medical school pro

There’s a lot of discussion in spirituality about ego and the myriad of ways to diminish it. No matter what spiritual tradition you are studying, there are unlimited suggestions and tools for doing so. However, no matter how many methods we come up with – nothing can replace service ...

rnIt is said that whatever is written in one’s Niyati is bound to happen. In other words, everything is pre-determined. How true is such an understanding of life? Do we really have no control over anything? According to the law of karma, Niyati is both fixed and flexible. rnLet’s see how… In order to understand this, we must understand how karma works. Our karmic account is like a balance sheet where we accumulate positive (punya) and negative (paap) karmas. Each entry

How beautiful is the light -- beyond any words or imaginings, more than high thought. It is hotter stuff than constellations, colder than the swift, ice-comet that crosses heaven by itself. There is bold symphony, twinkling in a child's eye. I cannot hold it, show itrnunconcealed ---say why we even know it elevates the mind, tells us that we are a different sort of breed -- not products of a culture, not this pose we manifest. My light and yours go bouncing thru time -- a

Everyone in your life is there to mirror you... and vice versa. When I tell a couple that they are perfect mirrors for each other, inevitably at least one of them has a fit. “I am not like him! How can you say that?” Often they can’t see this although it is literally true. This is quite comical to me. “He is so critical!” she might say, criticizing him. This, however, is not the main point. The key is that people in your life, be they lovers, friends, family or co-workers, hold a mirror up for you to see yourself. By your reactions to others, you find out who YOU are.

What is Spiritual Healing? Let us begin with the term “healing.” Healing is the process of seeing through the veils of illusion. Behind the veils we find the illusion was the thought, belief, or idea that we ever needed to healed in the first place (Like when Dorothy un-covers the Wizard of OZ by pulling back the curtains). It is seeing “the truth.” Behind the veils we see that we are whole, healthy, abundant, and radiant beings of light and love. Once we see this in ourselv

How many of us grew up with the fairy tale ideal of romance where love sweeps us off our feet? One where someone comes along pledging their ete al love to us, with the single goal of making us happy?

Slaying Dragons nnWhen I was a boy reading the stories of "The Knights of the Round Table" and other adventure tales of knights, ladies, and evildoers, my friends and I were inspired and spent many afternoons playing heroes and villains. In the woods of our backyards we went on many daring excursions, faced serpents with crested heads, and dark and wily villains, and emerged victorious. Knights and dragons are primary themes in our Western heritage. The power of these stories

"Do you read the Bible?"nn"Of course I do!"nn"Then, what did you learn today?"nnThe first question is easy. The second leaves us stumped. We could give answers like, "Well, I learned that David killed Goliath," or, "I read that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead." But we have the feeling that isn't quite what is meant. We need to make the transition from merely reading the Bible to actively studying the Bible. nnI know the protests: "I don't have time!" "I don't know how!" "I

Working the miracle is about asking for what we want, surrendering to God and taking action in the world.

We don't have to use these principals only when we are in desperate need of a miracle. Needed a Miracle

In this Ascension process we are moving into different dimensions. We utilize Crystal Pyramids in the 5th Dimension and higher and we are becoming aware of our own multi-dimensionality, having inca ations and instances in many different vibrations. What do we mean when we refer to other dimensions, are they higher, are we to look up to the sky, or are they in other places, requiring a space ship or our nothing more than our intention to go there? We refer to dimensions as if they we everyday occurrences, like another town or city to which we can travel at will.

In the corporate world of today, “being stressed out” is as common as eating a meal.

R' Shlomo was always telling us that Pesakh Sheni instills within us the message of the Torah of the Second Chance, i.e. that unless one actively negated doing something the first go-around, G-d allows for a second chance. I'd like to suggest something perhaps even more beneficial -The Torah of the First Opportunity. Many times we feel we are sooooo far away, so disconnected. How can we even dare to imagine we can start on a new path - to boldly go where no one has gone befor

"The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder,nand a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection."n— A Course in Miracles nn nI remember a moment twenty years ago that sparked quite a reaction in me.

I was intrigued. We went on to have a discussion of romantic-era poetry, and how vari

Do you ever get the feeling you don’t know if you are coming or going some days? Perhaps you feel you are continually at a fork in the road, not knowing whether to turn left or right. You may simply be suffering from ‘twominditis’. The Devil on Your Shoulder Now it’s a bit of an urban myth that our left brain is logical and our right brain is creative. It’s more accurate to envisage that the left brain (in most people) handles detail and learned responses and the right brain is ‘whole-istic’ and processes new information. Even this model is a gross over-simplification.

There was a time when in every household there were storms of blind faith and belief. In every home people discussed ghost, evil souls, sorceresses and so on.

The spiritual principle of Abundance is grounded in the concept that the Universe itself is an ever-expanding energy field of unlimited potentiality. Just a glance at our solar system alone reveals the existence of thousands if not millions of stars, yet astronomers agree that what our most powerful telescopes can see represents just a tiny portion of the Universe as a whole. Both astronomers and quantum physicists alike also concur that the Universe as we know it is likewise involved in a constant process of expansion.

HEAVEN #494 Make No Man a God n God said: There are men in the world who can fix a furnace or a car or a tooth. And you accede a certain power to them. You give over to them. You pay them for the talent and skill they ascribe to themselves, and for the time they give on your behalf. It is a business arrangement, and what you are exchanging is clear.
