Designing a New Year of Intention and Purpose

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.”

Experience of the Divine and the Forms of the Divine

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.

Mother's Heart

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.

Removing the Obstacles to Faith

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

The Difference Between Prayer In Kabbalah And Religion

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

Loving God 8

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.”

Planes of Consciousness and Their Role in the Creation

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.

The Realization That Leads To Genuine Letting Go

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

Adjust Everywhere

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

Being In Love Now

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

Hidden Powers in Life and Yoga

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.

“What is the First Step Towards Enlightenment”

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.

Presence of Soul in our Body

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

Doubt, and Certitude About the Divine

“Seeing is believing” has been a proverb for humanity since time immemorial. Yet, as we delve deeper into the way the world functions, we come to understand that what we see is not always an accurate reflection of the underlying reality. We see the sun rise in the East and set in the West on a daily basis, and for ages, we believed that this meant that the sun rotated around the earth. Today in the age of the internet and digital manipulation of information and images, we understand that not everything we see is actually true and accurate.

“How to Open Up to Your Spiritual Side”

“We are Spiritual Beings Living a Human Dream and People Disregard Their Spirit… Which Leads to Havoc” Many times I find that people don’t listen to their spiritual side. And this leads to havoc in their lives and they wonder why things are not going well. Take for instance a man who knows that when he eats wheat of any kind he has lots of stomach and intestinal irritations. Yet he keeps eating it disregarding all the discomfort. Then later he wonders why he’s having inflammation on all over his body and his arthritis is getting to the point that he can’t even get up and move around.

If I am not mistaken, lots of people enjoy suffering, and I am not excluding myself from this equation. I remember times when I drag myself consciously to a past memory and start crying, even if that memory doesn’t mean anything to me now. Do I love crying? Well most women do. Maybe it is kind of releasing some emotions that needed to be released and didn’t complete the releasing and healing process. I wish this is the case. Or maybe it is the ups and down of my biologica

Spiritual Humility

The quality of humility is important to keep the ego in check, but even here, the ego finds ways to create an artificial form of humility that actually reinforces the ego. Those following an inspiring leader, or treading a path that provides true spiritual experience may use their position to puff up the ego and provide a sense of superiority or that one’s own path is better than others, or one’s progress exceeds that of others, etc. There is, as with all things, a fine line between true spiritual humility and the ‘appearance’ of humility outwardly.
