Transforming Your Physical Body into a Sacred Light Body
Your physical body is a sacred vehicle of light, which was created by God and joined with physical matter in order to accomplish a holy purpose that your soul chose before incarnating. It may seem as though your daily life is mundane and has little in the way of divine soul purpose, but one day this veil over your perception will lift.

How Your Daily Life can Change the World
Our lives are already chock full of challenges. Just managing the day to day realities of life is for many of us a full time job. The growing complexities of life that have developed from the accelerated pace of change can at times feel overwhelming. How then do we help our struggling world? What can we do?

Who am I if I Let Go of my Pain?
When pain enters our life, there are coping mechanisms within us that help us to get through the difficulty. If the trauma is very deep, our coping mechanisms can solidify and form a protective layer around us. These eventually become assimilated into our identity, so that we no longer feel the pain.

Have You Been Bamboozled By The Mind?
This immediacy aspect of it is so misunderstood and misinformed – it has to be for you to be able to continue on as who you think you are; which is what is going on and what you are up to on a momentary basis of your daily living.

Spiritual Longing and the Path of Forgiveness
A heart that longs for love, and that longs to find the way home to God, opens a pathway of light from the human, embodied self to the soul that exists eternally in the realms of spirit. Spiritual longing not only activates spiritual growth, but also activates the healing of any inner blockages to love that may exist within your being.

How Intuition and Inner Wisdom can Strengthen You during Difficult Times
Our intuition is a profound gift which connects our embodied physical self with our divine spiritual essence. The soul can communicate with our embodied self through this line of light, and intuition can be of great benefit especially during times of stress.

Pure Awareness, Pure Seeing, Pure Being Is Who You Are
This aliveness, that is flowing through the very eyes of this mindbody that you find your self flowing through, is who "you" are; it is your self, the heart of existence, the divine one of all time, the "you" of you, the seer.

The Energetic And Spiritual Times Have Changed
Journeying along the path of heart and self discovery is the only thing that is worth its salt. This journey is not what you think it is though.

Pondering The Big Questions
Learn how to use a children's technique for pondering the big questions of life.

Healing the Body with Light
The human body is in essence a body of light, which was created first by God's divine intention which created the soul. God's light can be activated as a healing force within the human body, whenever you are sick or injured. God's light can bring healing, comfort, and can even completely transform even an apparently hopeless situation. Light can expand and open possibilities, and can support all other healing modalities you are using.

Your Divine Soul Purpose -- Manifesting Your True Life's Mission
When we begin to awaken spiritually, we ask "why am I here?", and "for what purpose did God create me?" For some, an inner understanding of divine soul purpose emerges relatively early in the spiritual journey. For others, knowledge of soul purpose eludes our human embodied self for quite a long time, necessitating a period of "walking in the desert" with little apparent inner or outer support.

The New Spiritual Consciousness - An Emerging Paradigm Shift

The Way of Manifesting in Life: Why Difficulties Continue
For many today, the way of manifesting or shaping reality is not influenced primarily by one's conscious desires, but by the desires of the soul and a spiritual mission that one has agreed to prior to incarnating that holds a greater priority. Often, this creates periods of great hardship in life, without the conscious self knowing why.

Let Your Practice Be Your Preaching
About the true practice of Spirituality...

A Spiritual View of Depression
There remains a vast gap between the current way of treating depression as a clinical entity and the way of treating depression as an energy related to consciousness. The latter is part of a perspective which suggests that the energy of our spiritual self influences the way in which brain chemistry and neuro-transmitters work or do not work.

The Great Spiritual Awakening of the Earth
This is the miracle of the time we are in and for which all souls have waited, namely, that the life of God that has existed in all beings without exception, shall finally become more visible, and ordinary reality as it exists in trees, brooks, grass, leaves - shall finally take on the visibility of light that has always been part of the structure of life-forms, but never part of their radiance. Now, life shall radiate light.

The Final Embrace
In the time of our exile from our inner Divine Self we thought that we could not be the Divine Savior, that only one Savior could have been or be it. We waited for It on the outside, and the pain of separation became evermore greater. There is no one external Savior. We are all It.

The Blessing of the Present Moment
At each moment in our daily lives, we have an unprecedented opportunity. Generations before us did not have this blessing of spiritual awareness that is available today. Humanity as a whole is awakening, and we are actively participating in this process even if we are not consciously aware of it.

Finding Daily Inspiration in Difficult Times
Daily inspiration helps us to stay focused on God's love, no matter what else is going on in our daily lives. In today's world there is such a high level of challenge and rapid change happening, that it has become even more important to find a way to stay connected with our hearts, and with our inner connection with spirit.

Journey Of Self Discovery
The journey of self discovery begins with the immediacy of your freedom from what you are not and with the being of who you already are.

Living the Love Affair With Life!
Creation is a verb. Creation (like all forms of art) is the expression of Aliveness drawn into being, breathed into being through the miracle of relationship. It is That which is spawning right now in a dynamic rapport between subject and object, creator and form.

Step 2 - Realization of Who You Are
Realization of who you are is a momentary thing. Moment by moment. To realize who you are while flowing through this mindbody that you find your self flowing through is the ultimate movement of manifestation.

Letting Go of Who You Are Not
You are afraid to be the one that you already are. Your familiarity to who you think you are has you locked in fear from letting go and surrendering what you believe yourself to be - even though it serves up a consistency of pain and suffering.

A Window of Opportunity
From the "gradual path" of believing yourself to be who you think you are and your attempts to transcend yourself into that which is already true of you, you will think your sincerity is enough for you to come home to the heart.

Spiritual education and a simple question
During our time of education, we are being asked many questions, but a very important question is often ignored. One simple question: "Are you happy?" is rarely being asked, despite the fact it has everything to do with our lives.

The Healing Presence of God's Love
God's love as a healing presence in the world is growing stronger daily. Many people are not yet able to perceive this growing presence of light, because there also exists at this time a thick cloud of negative energy that is surrounding the Earth. There are some ways that you can attune your consciousness at this time, to be able to open your heart more fully to experience and receive more of God's healing presence and light.

You are Changing the World
You are a magnificent and divinely inspired creation of God. You are here on the Earth during this very tumultuous time in history for a sacred purpose. Each soul that is here now, and each soul arriving to the Earth now, is here to participate in the momentous transformation process that is happening on the Earth.

The Dawning of a New Day
Todays world is rapidly changing, and many people feel a sense of fear about the direction that world events are moving in. Another common feeling that many people have is a sense of helplessness, that there is little that can be done to change the current world situation. In God's reality, each soul that is here upon the Earth at this time has a significant impact on the world, more so than you realize.

Talking to God
Spirituality...

Impact of birth numbers
Birth number has got the strongest forces associated with this number. The birth date number cannot be altered. It represents the vibrations and the associated energies which one should take care of to stay on the winning side of things.

The Time of Transition
It is the time of new beginnings. The time that has been ordained since the beginning of time in which God’s holy love would make itself felt everywhere as a stirring within the human heart to go deeper within itself, to find the source of love and the source of peace within.

The Transformation of the Earth
There is a great transformation going on upon the earth that will alter the ways in which human beings interact with each other as well as the ways in which each perceives themselves to be related to the rest of humanity.

Hope for the Earth
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.

The dreams that I dream-8-The devil prowls around like a roaring lion
One night as I slept, the Lord showed me a dream regarding how we must always be spiritually alert and not give a foothold to the enemy in our lives.

Experiencing "All is well-ness"
"All is well" is a state of mind; it does not mean that all is well in the world outside. The precious moments in which one has the "All is well" state of mind are moments of serenity and happiness. "All is well" moments taste more like water rather than champagne.

The Tension Between The Religious And The Spiritual
Religion has to do with a system. Spirituality has to do with a knowing. Most spiritual people are also a little religious. However, people can be religious without being spiritual at all. This tension has been around a long time and is reflected throughout the Bible.

Inspirational Thought For The Day
Your inspirational thought for the day is a simple one, but profound in its implications. Here it is...

Mind Of Man
In his approach to determine whether mind can survive bodily death, Prof. Paul Davies draws a clear distinction between the mental world and the physical world. He says: "The physical world is populated by material objects that occupy locations in space and have qualities like extension, mass, electric charge…

Something on Christian Mysticism
We accept that St. John and St. Paul had mystical experiences as we see in the Gospel of St. John and the Epistles of St. Paul in the Holy Bible. St. Paul is envisaged as the first great Christian mystic.

Purification of the soul
The mystical life is a consummation of endless oscillations between states of pain and states of pleasure, and for the true mystic the only way of living. He knows no other life and does not wish for any other life. These experiences of rapid oscillations between pain and pleasure he calls the "Game of Love" between himself and God.

The Origin Of The Universe
In retrospect, it is clear-cut that the Big Bang set the universe onto a journey that was targeted towards life. During all these billions of years, the universe did nothing else but equipped itself to accommodate and serve life and man, the crown of all creation.

Mystical Theology as a science of life
It can be called the science of the spiritual life as it brings people in closer proximity with God and His nature and His animals and humans as created in His Image.

Dancing in the depths of the secluded self
Dionysius the Areopagite said: "in the earnest exercise of mystical contemplation, you leave the senses and the operations of reason and all things that the senses or reason can perceive, to the end that you raise yourself by this unknowing to union with Him Who is above all being and knowledge".

Awakening to the Absolute
Illumination is a mystical characteristic in which mystics become aware of the presence of God. They become aware of Him everywhere in nature, in animals and in ourselves.

Spirituality And Science - Opposites?
Are spirituality and science opposed to each other? Some ideas on the roles of the spiritual and scientific in our lives.

Spiritual Poems - Why Read Them?
Spiritual poems are poems that point at the essence of things, and our relation to them. They use words as tools of discovery rather than tools of definition.

It's in the lifestyle
There is power of faith in the lifestyle we live. The life we live displays the faith we have. Our lifestyle explains the Spiritual power we have. Or the lack there of.

Did You Inherit Your Religion?

Kundalini Awakening - definition and the path
Every true seeker of spirituality understands the importance of kundalini awakening. If we are to realize God within our lifetime... we have to awaken our kundalini fully in this very life. Unless we take the lift straight up... we shall not reach the level of an awakened one... a living Buddha!

Self-Realization | How it can be achieved within ones life time
We must really understand that self realization is not a goal of life... it is the end of the journey itself. After having reached the stage of self realization... every self realized soul has but to leave for the abode of God (Baikuntha as in Hinduism). Call it self realization or enlightenment... the moment one reaches this stage... there is nothing more which can be achieved further.

I am not this body
I am not this body. I am a thankful soul who leaves all actions in this material world to the Supreme all knowing reason of all reasons that is the Creator of everything and has a good plan for every being.

What exactly differentiates Religion from Spirituality? Religion- if it forms the core of the physical manifested world... it is the Spirituality (the truth of our Soul within) which upholds the values in the society.

Role Attachment bondage or Moha plays in gaining Enlightenment
If there was no Attachment... Bondage or Moha... the need for any soul to traverse a long journey of 8.4 million lives (a total earthly journey of 96.4 million years) would never have arisen for the soul within... rather would not have been required at all.

What is Enlightenment? Meaning Definition and its relation to Self-Realization
What do we really mean when we talk of Enlightenment? Is it not the bloom of life for a true seeker of spirituality? The life itself comes to a full circle the moment one reaches the stage of Enlightenment
