I know this cliff very well. I have spent almost 40 years there. Many of the excuses that lie within the vast cave s of this cliff, I probably created. This cliff was formed on the self-imposed limitations of human creation. It stands tall and erect and takes your personal power to feed itself every time the words "I can't" are uttered. On the other side of this cliff is an ocean called "I will". As you stand on the cliffs of "I can't'" you can almost hear the rustling of the ocean waves that carry the energy of your "will".

If you are wondering how to increase your concentration and memory, you're not alone. Several million of people all over the world are under a constant lookout for an answer to this question. Concentration and memory are closely brain functions which are closely intertwined. Without improving your ability to concentrate, enhancing your ability to recall facts and figures can be quite difficult. The good news is that concentration is a skill that everyone can learn and master.

The objectives of the integral yoga cannot be looked at as a short-term ‘sprint’ to the goal, but as a longer-term ‘marathon’ where patience and endurance are of paramount importance. In order to achieve that long-term commitment without flagging of the effort, without discouragement and without burning out and giving up, the seeker needs to achieve a balance in the inner psychological standpoint that forces him to stand back from the ever-changing play of the 3 Gunas, and particularly not to get either wrapped up in the ambitious energy of Rajas, nor the discouragement and torpor of Tamas.

Quite obviously, social networking sites have become one of the best alternatives to share opinion and thoughts with like-minded people. No matter, which remote place you are belonged to, you just need to visit such sites to get established with an opportunity. When it comes to have a discussion on such websites you can’t ignore the importance of a Christian social network , which is primarily dedicated to allowing the internet users to get in touch with a community of like

"You're Robin Rice?" the young, dark-haired woman asked me. We were in line, signing in for an open mike poetry reading at the local bookstore. I'm not exactly a household name, but as I am an author, some people know of my work. Despite my own "off" mood, which had been in a downward spiral ...

The future of the earth lies in our hands, and not only in our hands but in our hearts, our minds, and in the ability that each of us has to contribute to the vast network of light and of consciousness of which we form a part. This network includes every living soul and allows each of us to make more of a contribution to the whole of life than our smaller self would have us believe is possible. Yet, the truth is that each heart and each life makes a difference of immense prop

Research studies have already commenced in Brahmavarchas Research Institute (Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttaranchal, India, website: www.awgp.org). Deep thinkers in the ream of science and philosophy have joined in this endeavor on a full time basis. It was well nigh impossible to carry out such a gigantic task merely with the help of effort and inner yearning. And yet my subtle preceptor center (Guru Satta) inspired me and gave me necessary help in a big way. In this way the hour

To be a healthy and happy person you have to take part in life, you have to be ready to participate in all things that make life worth living. Health is an important part of life, maintaining balance is another part of life and having vision and peace of mind completes the circle. Many of us live a life that is so full of “busyness” that we forget to find quiet time for ourselves, time to withdraw from the world we live in and create a separate world that is ours alone. This

“In the long run, our attitude towards life’s lessons – and the direction our life takes in life – are one and the same; show me someone who resists the Light of Life’s correction in the course of his or her soul, and I will show you someone whose destiny is the darkness of total self-enclosure.” nnEven though the Truth is never further away from us than our wish for its awakening and self-healing insight, there are distinct moments in life when it comes closer to

Thought has power. Power, however, has its conditions of action. A ‘passing’ thought running through the mind, disappearing as quickly as it enters, does not have the same impact as a concentrated and persistent focus coupled with the gathering of emotional or vital force to accentuate its impact. Similarly, a thought generated more or less mechanically has much less impact overall than one that involves the attention and support of the being.

The term “Divine” is used by Sri Aurobindo, starting with the title of his magnum opus, The Life Divine. How do we understand the term?

Evolution takes time. Hundreds of millions of years were required to move even small steps forward, as universal “time” does not fit into the “human” time-sense. Humanity measures things in terms of an individual lifespan, and in increments that we have devised from our humanity-centric viewpoint. Thus we speak of generations, and look for change to occur in months, years or decades. Centuries seem like ete ity to us, and millennia are beyond our immediate ability to truly understand.

For Douglas Hamm a way of being closer to God is capturing His beauty through the lens of the camera. The spiritual images by Douglas Hamm are a collection of photographs he took of clouds, mountains, rivers as well as people in submissive poses. Accompanying the photos are verses from the Holy Bible that compliment the subject of the photograph. The response to these pictures has been phenomenal. People felt the same experience as going to church while looking at these spiri

Guilt is a useless emotion. It interferes with learning and is based on something completely false. I'm not talking about the process where you recognize a mistake and learn from it, this benefits you. But the thought-forms of guilt do more to interfere with your learning from mistakes, because what you’re actually doing is ruminating over what was said or done rather than deciding that you will not do or say that thing again. Learning from a mistake is a decision you make.

Don’t parachute into the maze” was a phrase I spoke in the middle of a reading with a client. I quickly wrote it down! I was referring to the maze of our thinking. We don’t want to jump out of the plane and into the maze of our thinking! No matter how pretty that maze looks ...

You can learn how to snap out of a super bad mood and change your state. It takes a bit of practice and an ounce of self growth, but you can learn to master your moods. When you drift into a bad mood don’t forget you are also drifting into a much lower energy vibration. Call it hormones, call it being stuck in traffic, or call it dropping a kilo of yogurt all over the kitchen floor – it can be overcome.nnUp until I was about 17 years old, I was an impatient and moody pers

He urged everyone in attendance to care more for the environment and reconnect with the principle of peace. nnHe also addressed types of "poison" which are afflicting the world's social environment such as substance abuse, the exaltation of violence, and sexual degradation. He has been applauded a

The idea of a trinity of aspects or statuses of the Divine has arisen throughout the major religious and spiritual traditions of the world. It is relatively easy to conceptualise this by looking at how we experience the world. We start with an individual perspective, and reference life from that standpoint. Our interaction with the world provides a second aspect, that of the universal creation of which we are a part and within which we participate. The third aspect is the one that the Upanishads reference when they try to avoid the limited definitions available to our mental framework.

The human being is composed of a number of different forces working along their own lines and attempting to find some kind of harmonious interaction between the parts of the being. There is the physical body, the vital being, the mental being, the psychic being and the spiritual planes beyond that. Many times, the vital or the mental adopts a mode of action without taking into account the needs, and limitations, of the physical body. This is true for spiritual seekers as well as those living the life of the world.

A friend of mine is working towards enlightenment (an oxymoron, I know, but just follow the story here). She meditates every day, trying to clear her mind and be in the moment. She’s very good at it. So good, in fact, that she’s discovered one thing they don’t talk about much in spiritual studies: enlightenment is boring. Boring, that is, to our Western mind that gets engaged in the process of getting somewhere (enlightenment), then forgets that it is often the journey,

What is the real meaning of success? It can be a matter of great debate. Different people define it differently. For a majority of people achieving professional heights is “success.” For students, securing good grades is “success.” For parents, seeing their kids doing well in life means “success.” So, it is clear that success has different meaning for different people, depending on what is important in their life. From these simple examples it is clear that for mo

You are an expression of the divine Self, and it creates through you in two ways: It inspires and moves you, as much as you allow it to, to create the reality it intends for you, and it also allows your egoic self to create the reality it chooses. So, two things are going on in any moment: the divine Self, or essence, is attempting to move you according to its intentions, and the egoic self is attempting to move you according to its desires, beliefs, and other conditioning. I

I invite you to entertain the possibility that everything we experience in our 'outer world' is a reflection of that which resides in our 'inner world' - in our psyche.nnIn essence, we can liken the universe to a MIRROR that constantly reflects and informs us of that which we hold in our own consciousness.nnThe process of experiencing our own reflection provides us with the opportunity to get really clear about what we want or do not want to experience in our lives. It allows

The Gurumaa ashram in gannaur is a living Buddhafield and it’s the place where the contemporary mystic Shri Anandmurti Gurumaa resides and it’s the place where she imparts spiritual guidance to her disciples. Full of lush green and beautiful gardens and serene ponds, the ashram vibrates with a silent harmony between existence and man. The atmosphere calms and soothes the being within and opens new doors to a whole new understanding of oneself.nn I visited the ashram a few

It’s sometimes hard to keep the faith in the face of a diagnosis. When I know I’m having trouble putting my best foot forward, or better said, when I know I’m putting my worst foot forward especially in my own behalf, I use this prayer created by a turn of the 20th Century English metaphysician whose name has been lost to time. God Be . . . All Me. The effect of these words spoken slowly and with great breath is to bring my Divine Spark, my God Self, forward, and to all

Spiritual experience is not realised through following a manual or cookbook. There is not an actual way that any prescriptive documentation can both tune the consciousness to the spiritual plane, nor avoid the many chances of confusion that can arise through mistake or through misapplication or through misleading indications provided either by the vital nature, or forces inimical to the yogic development of the seeker. It is easy to be led astray as various types of ideas, emotions, feelings, sensations, experiences and directions come during the practice.

Is it our destiny to create a divine life on earth? When we look around at the world today, we see innumerable problems, crises and contradictions that provoke many to feel utterly hopeless. Everywhere people have experienced the pain, the challenges, the aggressive opposition of ideas, ideologies, religions, creeds, movements and expressions. Some have given up and determined to simply live for today, “eat, drink and be merry” they say, as they abandon the thought that there is any purpose to their existence or to the universal existence itself.
