Through the use of logical reasoning the human mind can extrapolate along a straight line of development once a pattern is seen and understood. We can also combine things through the use of the faculty of imagination to spin a web of speculation about the future, building on what we already experience and the trend line that we can observe, and constructing on that foundation. The limitation of the mental framework, however, does not provide us any real insight into any processes that fall dramatically outside the factual basis we can see and know.

It is essentially a universal experience that when we sit for meditation, we see clearly the constant running of thoughts, perceptions, feelings, emotions, desires etc. that occupies the mind all the time, but to which we pay little attention when going about the activities of daily life. There is a constant stream, which some have called “stream of consciousness” that creates a mental ‘running commentary’ that the mind is constantly asked to process. We tend to treat this as an obstacle to meditation, and generally blame ourselves with the thought that we simply are not able to meditate.

If we accept the idea that supraphysical sight is a latent power of humanity, and not some kind of illusion or otherwise some miraculous special power, then we can seek to understand the conditions under which this power manifests, and show, first, that it is something that is reproducible and verifiable, and second, that it is possible under creation of those conditions needed for it to act, to develop this power in a broader segment of individuals in the society.

The first point that should be considered is why one wants to meditate and what the expected result should be. This is important because it helps set the internal expectation and helps thereby in understanding the different aspects, both internal and exte al, that can influence the result. Meditation, or “success” in meditation, is not a goal in itself. Meditation is a means to an end, the end being the shifting of the conscious awareness and focus away from the outer, surface ego-personality to the divine consciousness, universalising, and widening the consciousness in the process.

Think about a garden, without great soil sooner or later all the veggies of the garden start to become stressed, and then insects attack and take over and the plants die. But if we improve the soil the plants grow strong and never become stressed. The same holds true for the soil of our soul, our soul needs some very important nutrients in order to create a peaceful loving life.

1 - The Universal Mind is a powerhouse of energy. It exists as all things exist and has always been. But Universal Mind can only manifest as thought, and that thought becomes the word… and the word became reality. And we can only manifest through the existence of Universal Mind.

Consciousness is the ability of man to think and create. Mind is static energy and thought is creative and active energy.

“Are You a Spiritual Leader?” The path of a spiritual leader is not easy. A spiritual path has many obstacles that try to keep us from attaining enlightenment. If walking a spiritual path was easy everyone would be doing it. But obstacles are only speed bumps along the way towards self-realization. Perhaps some of your experiences are similar to some of the great spiritual masters of the East. see link to see photo - https://paulhaider.wordpress.com/2018/11/26/are-you-moving-towards-enlightenment/

Rabbi Simon Jacobson of The Meaningful Life Center Guides Us Into Creating Greater Purpose, Intention and Growth in Our New Year “Jewish mysticism contains a concept called bittul (self-nullification), which is suspending one’s self in the moment by being so focused on the present that your ego slips away. If you want to experience bittul, focus on the activity at hand without thinking of how you are feeling or what you are experiencing. For folks who can’t or won’t meditate, it’s a miracle of a mindfulness practice.”

While a spiritual experience is a subjective event, we can reference the accumulated reports from around the world and throughout human history to provide an accurate picture of the types of experiences and the reality of the experience. Sometimes these experiences come after undertaking various practices or disciplines, but it must be noted that long periods of practice do not guarantee a spiritual experience will result.

A mother's heart is a multifaceted deep cave of unconditional love. Her Sacred Feminine heart holds a full spectrum of experiences, emotions, memories and hope. From the moment of conception of a child a mother's heart knows, really knows that she is not alone on this planet. The Divine Feminine exists and channels through us, the mother, as creation itself taking form as our babe in the womb.

A Course in Miracles states that it does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that cannot be taught. What it does aim at teaching is how to remove the obstacles to the awareness of love’s presence, which is our natural inheritance. nnThe same approach and attitude can be taken toward the unfoldment of Spiritual Faith.nnFaith is natural to us—inherent in what we are, as children (or expressions) of God. To ‘have’ spiritual Faith is not actually

We're all familiar with the concept of praying: "Dear Lord, please let me get a good grade on my Chemistry exam and help my little brother get out of the hospital soon. And do forgive me for all my sins. In return, I promise to be a good boy for ever and ever." nnBut in Kabbalah, prayer does not mean asking the Creator for "goodies." Rather, it is an act of self-analysis, a process of inner change. A person sees himself as facing the unchanging quality of absolute love that e

The verse tells us that we are challenged by false prophets; "for God, your Lord, is testing you to know whether you love God, your Lord with all your heart and all your soul." Nachmanides explains that God wills to measure our love for Him, in order that we can realize the intensity of our love.nnThe verse tells us that we are challenged by false prophets; “for God, your Lord, is testing you to know whether you love God, your Lord with all your heart and all your soul.”

We generally try to understand things from our own individual perspective, yet this perspective is severely limited and cannot fully comprehend or appreciate the larger forces at work or the complete significance of the creation. If we make the shift to the divine standpoint, however, we can begin to appreciate the organisation of the universal creation and the specific position and role of the individual beings and forms that make up that creation.

It was the most beautiful rose in the entire garden. Yet it was unhappy... This pretty rose wanted to please every person who came to the garden. Visitors to the garden where not allowed to pluck any rose. As soon as anyone would come into the garden this beautiful rose would do everything to gain their attention. It would sway,dance,shout,yell...... It was strange in a way that though this rose was the most pretty one in the entire garden very few people would pass by this r

Suppression of desire can be compared generally to the compression of a spring. The spring increases its latent energy by being compressed and eventually, when it escapes the compression stage, it responds powerfully. When desires are suppressed, they gain in strength and eventually burst forth with tremendous intensity.

We all know exactly what it is like to be certain we have let go of something sorrowful or worrisome, only to find ourselves in a similar sad situation moments later. nnDropping this person and picking up that person doesn't end the loneliness that drives us into dead-end relationships. This isn't letting go. We have only managed to put the emptiness on hold. nnChanging jobs to get away from someone or something that sets us off doesn't cancel our conflict. This just delays t

There is a special song meant just for you and one intended only for me. No one else is experiencing what I am experiencing nor does anyone else think, feel or love like me; or like you.

We hum the lyrics on the days we are happy and on

An Integrated Approach to Achieving Harmonious Balance of Life on Earth andr Preserving Our Future and Our Worldr We are facing a sixth “mass extinction event”. We are destroying the complex interplay between the ocean, the earth and the atmosphere that keeps our climate in balance. We polluting our air, our land and our water. We are degrading and removing habitats and ecosystems, including (inrnalphabetical order): coral reefs, deltas, estuaries, forests, glaciers, lakes, mangroves, meadows, mountains, peat bogs, prairies, rivers, savannahs, seagrass beds, swamps and tundra.

“Stop - Breathe - Listen - Love” Sometimes we think that no one loves us… but that’s far from the truth. We are loved from a deep place within if we stop for a moment. Here Are 4 Simple Steps 1 - Whenever you get to feeling down, just stop what you are doing and go sit somewhere quiet and close your eyes for a few moments. There is nothing more positive and uplifting than sitting in silence while the world whirls on by. Just concentrate on your breathing in and out. Just notice that your heart is beating and that your skin is warm, plus your shoulders are starting to come down.

From a spiritual place anger is the opposite of love. And because of that as human beings it’s important to learn to defuse anger and walk away from the situation before we take action… which in the long run we always regret. Here are a few spiritual ways to defuse anger and find peace.

Life is constantly changing and we too, to keep pace with it change ourselves. We will be adjusting ourselves with surroundings. For example, if winter is approaching, woolen wear will be adapted by us very conveniently. Rain coats and umbrellas will be a part of our clothing during monsoon. Cool cottons are must for summers. Isn’t it? Not only weather, but if we observe ourselves, we will be always adjusting with surroundings. It is so natural for us to take adjustments wi

Most of us have been taught that love is a commodity. Something someone either has for us or not. Something that can either be given or taken away, won or lost. Thus, we become dependent on an ‘other’ to make us feel happy and secure. But any dependency can be fraught with distress and danger, because it leaves us at the mercy of someone else for our sense of well-being. This is my definition of Conditional Love. Unconditional Love is when we are in love as a state of Bei

Earth-based spirituality is based on reverence for the earth and all of its inhabitants and has been practiced from antiquity to the present. Its roots lie in the shamanic wisdom of the ancient Caucasian peoples of Britain, northern Europe and Scandinavia; the Taoist teachings of the East and with the Native Americans of North America.n nTo honor all livings things is the basis of Earth-based spirituality. The Native Americans treated all beings on earth as their equal and al

There is an interesting contradiction in the way humanity deals with unseen, or invisible forces at work. We believe wholeheartedly nowadays in gravity, electricity, wireless communications, magnetic transportation vehicles, and, despite the fact that all of these represent invisible forces, we recognise that they both exist and have their effect and can be manipulated according to our need or intention.

When we find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation… that is the first step towards renewal… and the first step towards enlightenment. Nothing is ever gained without giving up something. Take, for instance, a child who was constantly berated by his father for not being good enough. And thus for years as a young man, he struggles. He wants to be a great artist, and he truly is a great artist, but the memory of his fathers words “Art is a hobby, art is not a job… get a job” rings loud in his unconscious mind.

At about age five I had what I would now call my first spiritual experience. rnMy family would call it my first weird experience. At the time I was un- rnaware of the experience because when you are a child, you are still connected rnto God. You don’t even realize that you are in the world unless, of course, rnyou are one of those unfortunate souls who decide to pay off all of your karma rnwith parents that won’t love you. I know none of you had those types of par- rnents

Do you know, in reality, you yourself are a Soul? Yes, your real Self is your Soul!! rnWhen you say you are dead, it is the physical body that’s dead, and not you. By principle, anything that is born has to die. So death is connected to birth. The body was born one day, and hence will die one day. However, the Soul is a permanent entity, and that’s what you really are! Nothing can work in the absence of the Soul. rnAs soon as the Soul leaves the body, the body is declared
