Looking in the Universal Mirror!

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

Spiritual Practice: God Be All Me

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

The Human Need for an Intermediary to the Divine Brings About the Presence of the Avatar, the World-Teacher, or the Human Guru

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.

The Mind of Light in the Context of the Current Existential Crisis

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.

How to Tread the Sunlit Path of Yoga

There are no exemptions from the issues, obstacles and difficulties that attend the work of bringing forth a new evolutionary principle and thereby impacting, changing and vastly reorganizing the existing status quo of the mind-life-body complex in the world. The issues must be addressed. The individual, however, may deal with these issues differently, based on how embedded he is in the existing ego-personality versus his ability to separate himself and shift his standpoint towards the divine standpoint.

The One Indispensable Thing

There is considerable confusion about spirituality and spiritual practice. We tend to conflate “good works” with spiritual progress, when in many cases, these good works, while necessary and helpful in the world at large, actually arise from a mental or vital call to action rather than from the Divine as a direct imperative. The first goal in Yoga is to realise the Divine, to shift the consciousness from the human mental, separative and fragmented standpoint to the Divine standpoint.

Naturally Disinfects - Drying laundry in the sun is a great way to disinfect sheets, towels, and clothing especially whites because ultraviolet rays kill bacteria, viruses, and other agents that cause disease.

This to you shall pass

The weather outside today may be good or it may be bad, all things are always in a constant state of motion. Sometimes when we have personal problems or spiritual questions, it is good to remember that this too shall pass. We know that all events and all circumstances in life are for only a certain time. Sometimes it's just for an hour, week, a month, or even for a year, at some point things will change. It is always at the end of a cycle, experience that brings a birth of a

Are YOU living your life as a Robot?

In this particular time and space, in our world as we know it, I see all around me, people moving through live as robots. I witness people living in an automatic state of being. Some are repeating the same day over and over, just like the movie, Ground Hog Day. They are living their lives in a robotic way, doing the same things day in and day out, and, most will probably never live their dreams and passions.

The Mirror is the Struggle

Over the course of 58 years, I have encountered so many women who struggle with their looks. It seems to be an ete al theme which crosses generations. We live in a culture that's about need.

The Art of Being Board

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,

SPIRITUALITY AND SCIENCE

The central teaching of mysticism is that Everything is One, whereas from the side of rationalism the universe is Multiple. The essence of the mystical tradition is not a particular philosophical system, but the simple realization that the soul of any individual/existence is identified with the Absolute. A special feature of the mysticism is the elimination of discriminations, i.e. the One and the Multiple are identical.On the other hand, in rationalism the One and the Multiple differ substantially.

The Gift of Discontent

I have felt from a very young age that I was on a quest. That of course isn’t the terminology I originally would have used to describe my early promptings. It does from my adult perspective appear to be just that: a quest. I have, even in my most serene of moments, felt a stirring, a calling, and a discontent. I recognize even as I type these words that I am admitting to my spiritual incorrectness, yet part of what is stirring within me is the need to be authentic at any cost.

The Shakti Gate

The Eastern paths of spirituality are all in agreement that our original sin is ignorance. What we are ignorant of is who we are. We have a false idea of our identity. Simply by overcoming that false idea, we are immediately transported into a different energy field. It is as if we are traversing an inter-dimensional portal. Crossing the boundaries of the ego identity enables us to be in a much vaster field of Being, a field of grace.nnThe more that gateway is open to you, op

The Secret Significance and Process of Evolution

Western science has attempted to understand existence by analysis, first and foremost of the outer forms and forces we experience in the world around us. The mind’s analytical and organisational capabilities have been brought intensively to bear upon the forms of existence, the material basis, the vital life-forms and the developments of mental capacity. Charles Darwin conducted extensive research which he recounted in his seminal work in the field titled The Origin of Species.
