Edgar Cayce's discourses provide us with some enlightened views into the nature of God. They have described God as "the Universal Consciousness," as "the Creative Forces," as "the Oneness," as "Spirit," as "Law," and as our "ete al companion." Let's explore Cayce's perspective on God. Oneness His readings state that the first inca ate people to consciously maintain a relationship with God were "The Children of the Law of One." Their faith held a belief that despite all the

If you type into Google “is working with past lives ethical”. You will find an article by Medical Doctor Gabriel Andrade published in the National Library of Medicine who says past life therapy is not ethical for these reasons;

In order to comprehend the science of teleportation, we have to study the nature of light. Quantum physics opened new horizons in human perception and created a series of new principles that assist the knowledge of the universe. In 1900, Max Planck, in his attempt to explain the black body radiation based on the laws of thermodynamics, was obliged to separate energy into tiny parts, the quanta, by introducing a new principle, h=6,6/10-27 erg.second which is called Planck principle.

You ever wanted something so much you just didn't know to go about getting it? That new car; a new home a new job, how about a new city to live in. Your hearts desire how does one go about getting what you long for? Have you taken all the steps necessary to get what you desire? We often think we have done everything we humanly could, yet we still struggle with the same question why can't we seem to get what we want?

How do you treat opportunities?nnMore often than not, most of us walk the pavement looking down, rather than up. We miss the opportunity to smile and connect with passers-by. And I’m sure that over the last year or two, people frown more and smile less. And if this is how we treat each other, I wonder how we treat the opportunities that flow our way.nnDigging a little, I discovered some interesting answers. nnIt seems that people, in general, are not happy. Aside of the str

Albert Einstein stated “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” We have an existential crisis in our world that is being recognized more and more, which includes the climate crisis and its impacts, the pollution crisis and its results, the resource depletion that is fueling wars and mass migrations across the planet, and the species die off that is killing off large numbers of plants, insects and animals across the planet.

An Interview with Raphael Cushnir Q: You say you’re not an expert on bliss or anything else, but then you describe a very specific process for opening to bliss. Why should anyone believe you know what you’re talking about? RC: They shouldn’t. Instead, if interested, they ...

If I had to choose the most consistent theme that has been discussed in the over 30 years I have been doing readings and counseling, it would that something "is missing from our lives." That something takes different forms. Most of the time it "relationships." The conversation goes something like this......"I am ........... years old and I have never had a good relationship, or.......I am..............years old and I have never been married. What am I doing wrong, why is this

From Waking Up Learning What Your Life is Trying to Teach You

Every one of us does have a soul purpose. It belongs to conditions where we are at present. It belongs to the challenges that we can meet the opportunities we need to act on, the talents we need to nurture. If we get in tune with it and realize it in our life, we will be enriched with the balance, synergy and congruity in a unique way that will make the journey of our lives purposeful, enjoying the little stops and hurdles and setbacks and then again moving ahead. Realizing

Life as a mystic for me is a gift and a challenge both. It is a journey of awakening to who I truly am, loving myself and developing my personal relationship to God, Goddess. Moment to moment unfolding the truth from within is part of the process.

Last week, I introduced you to the Be-Do-Have model. This week lets take a closer look at how to apply it to our lives. The great advantage of understanding this model is that we begin to see that our inner world creates our outer world, not the other way around. When we focus internally on being the person we desire to be, our actions will flow naturally flow out of this place. Napolean Hill’s book “Think and grow rich” is based on this very principle. He suggests that if

Create in the world knowing that you are a Divine being of love and light. Our birthright is to manifest our spirit nature through our words, deeds, experiences and our work in the world through service to humanity. In order to create in the world we need to surrender to God so that our ego is out of the way and Spirit is in charge. Then we need to stay open to being guided by our higher power through inspiration and intuition moment to moment. The Universe has our back, so to speak so that we can create in the world what we dare to imagine in our mind. Surrendering to God

HEAVEN is here to reach every soul on Earth to reawaken: * Our connection to God *n* Our belief in ourselves *n* Our awareness of our shared worthiness to God *n* Peace on Earth * God is always bringing us closer to Him. n HEAVENLETTERS #2376 Like a Night Sky Filled with Stars God said: You are vibrating to a higher consciousness now.

Have you ever woken up fully aware of the responsibilities and tasks that are expected of you, yet for whatever reason you just can’t bring yourself to do them? Do you recognise that you need to remove an Emotional Energy Block? Perhaps this happens on a regular basis. You say you’ll deal with it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. Well, know that you are not alone. Many of us will face this issue at some point in our lives. Oftentimes, we don’t know what exactly is going on within ourselves, or more importantly how to overcome this internal wall we’re facing.

You might ask, "What happens to all those eggs in a woman's ovaries when she goes through menopause?" Those creative eggs are transformed into creative ideas. This time of life is like going on the Triple EEE ride of a lifetime, 24 hours a day. Ok, I felt like I was gripping the steering wheel ...

I used to spend fifteen minutes looking into the mirror everyday. I wanted to appear great.Over the years looking great became an obsession with me. Till one day, i fell so ill that I lost twenty kgs over a span of two months...My body was so worn out that even a beggar would not want to converse with me. Lying down in my bed i picked up a magazine...... The headline on the front cover read " Do you love yourself when you look good or do you experience a sense of greatness wh

Narrow Mindedness is the Root of Jealousy!rnAny negative thought arising in us towards anyone is usually due to our narrow mindedness. We not only think negative, but very often we spread this negativity to others too! For example, one young girl says to her friends, “Priya gave her birthday party at an ice cream parlour. But I will give mine at a 5-star hotel because my Dad is rich and successful.” Such naïve statements show nothing but her narrow mindedness. One thinks

Doors open opportunities but I didn’t expect that I would learn some of my biggest lessons about growth by opening (and closing) doors. Here’s why...nnMany years ago, long before I had any knowledge of my spiritual path, I would find that two things would happen around doors: (1) I would get upset when I held open a door for a stranger and they didn’t say “thank you”; and (2) I would get upset when a stranger would let a door slam in my face as I followed them throu

Relationships can be determined by type, quality and purpose. Different types of relationship can have different qualities and a different purpose. This is what makes all relationships individual and unique to those within the relationship. Types of Relationship There are many Types of Relationship. What type of relationship that I have with someone depends upon the roles that we are both playing within the relationship. As the roles change, so does the type of relationship. Husband & wife, father & son, mother & daughter are all different types of relationship.r

Have you ever been excited about an idea, a project, or a goal, so excited that you felt like you could reach out and touch it - only to find that when you try to bring it into actuality the whole thing breaks down?nnIt’s a common experience. In it’s pure ungrounded form, in your imagination, the vision can look vastly inspiring and easy to achieve. But when you try to bring it into reality, manifest it in all the myriad and fragmented details of your life, more often tha

In order to reach our goal of spiritual maturity, we must take the task of learning about God and studying the Bible seriously. nnLearning is not passive. We cannot be handed biblical knowledge and godly character on a silver platter. We have to work at it and strive for it. Every individual must be committed to learning, if personal and corporate spiritual maturity is to be attained.nnFirst, we must have a desire to learn. Without a passion for learning, the best teaching in

At the center of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the most successful trilogy and story of all time, there lays a Ring of Power, a wizard's ring that was made in a unique way and that is inscribed with the words:rnOne ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,rnOne ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Can a piece of jewelry have the power and the ability to play a significat role in our day to day existence or is this merely a literary motive and nothing mor

On anthropological level, the term “creativity” gains an extended level since it is revealed that the human is not a simple creation of a cosmic process, but has got a sense of belonging and co-creates in collaboration with Thought, its forms, its meanings and mental contents, the feelings and the emotions of theories, institutions, etc., which are not raised on the level of simple biological or physical – chemical processes, even though they are directly related to them and are produced by one another without being identified and without losing their self – efficiency.

Philanthropy stands for the ‘love of humanity’ and basically is where fortunate people try to improve the quality of life for those who are less privileged. This can be done by giving goods, time or money to people in need in order to help them out and make a difference to their lives. Philanthropic giving is very important, as charities often rely on the goodwill of others to raise enough funds for their projects. Many famous people and successful entrepreneurs give mone

All the spiritual traditions of the world agree that human life is infinitely precious. Therefore, we should not take the lives of others, nor injure, nor belittle, nor think we know what is the best way for others to live—but most of all, we ought not waste the life that we are living. It is difficult enough to find a planet like ours, that is capable of supporting such life as the human variety in the style and opulence we have grown accustomed to, and are just now in

The liver is one of the most critical organs in the human's body. The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. Therefore, it's essential to keep your liver healthy overall and especially during the virus pandemic. Just like any filter, it is useful to cleanse the liver from time to time. There are many ways to purify the liver. Most of them require preliminary preparation, a lot of time and attention. However, the Apple-Beet Juice allows you to cleanse the organ with the least time-consuming and risk!

Abraham was one of the very first Kabbalists, some 3800 years ago. As the ancient Midrash (writings that examine the Hebrew Bible in light of the oral tradition) tells us, Abraham lived in Mesopotamia, in the city of Ur of the Chaldees, and as all inhabitants of Mesopotamia, he worshiped the sun, the moon, the stones, and the trees. But one day he began wondering: "How was the world created? Why does everything 'spin' around us? What generates the flow of life?"nnAs he invest

I have been quite nomadic for most of my adult life—traveled extensively, seen the world, and enjoyed many varied cultures. I have learned to find home wherever I may be. At first, home was literally my backpack in which I carried my necessities. But I have learned to put my pack down now and lessen the load I carry. Who is “doing” anyway? As my spiritual teacher says, when you are on a traveling train, why still hold onto your luggage? The train is my life, and I am carried by Life, supported by all that is. So I let go. I surrender to what is. I serve what is right in front of me.

My favorite couple came in for a session this past weekend and a number of insights came out of the work with them that I wanted to share. They had called a week before to schedule the appointment and I caught myself during the week pondering what I might talk about with them—mistake! An ...

Death is not a subject we often think about or are even comfortable talking about. In fact, a number of contemporary sociologists believe that despite widespread liberalization of thought in modern times, death is one of the topics where the extent of taboo has actually grown. What if I said that despite your feeling totally healthy while reading this piece, millions of cells in your body are dying right now? How about the fact that a sizeable chunk of the healthy tree’s tru

Why are human relationships one of the most powerful creations in the world of form? Because, in essence, we are all the same. Sure, we’re all human. But, we’re also one Being. It would make sense then that when we have broken relationships, feel disconnected, misunderstood, rejected, alone, and abandoned that we could fall into terrible social anxiety, struggle to maintain bonds, drop into deeply depressive states, and even die sooner (recent research from ADP).

Sometimes we clutch the past so tightly to our chest that it leaves our arms too weak to embrace the present. Each of us – I bet all of us – are clutching tightly to some things from our past, whether they are beliefs we cling to, or fears, or insecurities. Or maybe we hold onto self-talk like: I can't because (fill ...

What is the inherent nature of the universe: unity or discord? Are we doomed to be battlers all our lives? Are we victims of circumstance? Is the world becoming less or more united? Converging technologies and economies would seem to inevitably bring us all closer, yet the opposite is happening. Practically every industry and segment of our society is becoming more entrenched. Political divisions, racial divisions, and religious passions are intensifying, defying all predictions and expectations of the shrinking boundaries of our global village.

Baal HaSulam, Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, was the greatest Kabbalist of our generation who wrote books intended specifically for our times. This means that for the first time in history, he presented Kabbalah in a way that allows any person to reveal the spiritual, Upper World.nnTo fully appreciate the significance of his life’s work, we only need to remember that reading Kabbalistic texts composed prior to Baal HaSulam – whether the Torah, The Book of Zohar, and others – is p

Let me begin by stating that many of you among the readership of this newsletter do not wrestle with demons, so this will not apply to you. But I receive enough letters from readers to know that a great many of us wrestle with dark thoughts and urges, and want help overcoming them. Rather than take each letter individually, I'm going to address the problem in a manner that will help most of us. According to the Cayce readings, dark influences mostly come from within us as ca

This post intends to make a very clear distinction between the non dual message and the understanding of kundalini awakening. A kundalini awakening is the awakening of pure awareness, consciousness, or life force that initiates mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts. Kundalini refers to the life force. The creative expression of Being. Non duality refers to Being itself, void of any impact, movement or expression.

“And G-d commanded the man, saying: ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat of it; for on the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” GenesisnnOur world is filled with potential. But all too often we experience life as confusing, dark and overwhelming, and ourselves as disempowered, separate and alone.nnWhen G-d first created Adam and Eve, our original ancestors, the world looked very di

The more you want something, the more you need to let it go. This can seem counter-intuitive. I mean, it's important to feel passionate about something, right?nnWell, yes and no. Feeling passionate about something, wanting to make a difference, wanting to make an impact - these are all good things.nnOften when we are passionate about something, however, we have a tendency to grasp or cling to a specific outcome. When we do this, our well-being is affected by whether or not we

“So What Can We Do?” “True Story of a Gardener Who Traveled All Over” Jesus said, “Don’t Do What You Hate”.

One of the simplest forms of meditation is listening. You don’t even have to sit still to practice listening. Except for when you are asleep, listening is always happening. You are either listening to the mind or to something else. When we are not listening to the mind, the opportunity exists to be aware that listening is still happening. Listening is part of Awareness, which is a name that is often given to our true nature. If you look closely at who you really are, yo

With enough love, anything can be healed. It's easy enough to say, but how does it work in the real world? People such as Victor Frankel, who wrote Man's Search for Meaning , the now classic treatise on the subject, chronicled how, with a enough love, even years spent in a concentration camp could be healed. Though Victor wrote that book decades ago, the idea that with enough love anything can be healed can still seem startling, even suspect. nnThis seems especially true when

We are moving into spring and loquat fruits are starting to appear at the markets. Loquats have been around for 1000 years and originated from Asia and have disseminated all over the globe. Loquat fruits are very healthy and sweet, and have a wonderful flavor which works well for all kinds of culinary dishes and for making wine.
