TRANSFORMATIVE TOPICS FOR YOUR UNIQUE SPIRITUAL PATH
Hijacking Spirituality: Ascension, Twin Flame, & Manifestation Gurus
The ancient mystics and contemplatives spent time in solitude connecting with divinity. Some of today’s spiritual and new age thinkers have adopted a new type of divine being, one that can create and manifest anything the heart desires. Communing with spirit, seeking eternal love in God, and stepping out of society has now become the new version of powerful creators manifesting true human potential.
Consciousness Eternally Experiencing Itself? Why?
Consciousness. What does it mean exactly? There are a lot of new age thinkers presenting consciousness as the nature of our reality, as who we really are, as the field of awareness that comprises everything within the universe. A very simple understanding of consciousness is being aware of one’s own internal and external environment, or better yet, being aware of something else.
The Body’s Health: Is It Metaphysical?
Health is a debatable topic. Are we a product of our environment, genetic makeup, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pathogens invading our system, our mental and emotional disturbances, our experiences of the world, our many relationships, and the traumas that torture us repeatedly? Are we able to live a healthy lifestyle by choice and override these detrimental factors that seem to effect so many people?
Energy Shifts: How They Affect Us Personally and Collectively
Underneath the surface of matter, everything is energy. What we see as solid is made up of moving particles, atoms, protons, electrons, you get the drill. These moving particles interact with each other and emit vibrations and frequency into the world around us. Our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors also emit energy into the invisible field we live in. Whether you are aware of this or not, we are moving amongst waves of energetic information all day long. Step into a crowded room and feel the energy level is much more active than in a room that is empty.
Cults Versus Real Spirituality: What’s the Difference?
Cults are an interesting phenomenon. Something that often starts off harmless turns into a nightmare no one saw coming. Groups forming anywhere around the world often pull people toward a similar purpose. Getting together with like-minded people, sharing the same beliefs, joining together as a community, and working toward the same goals are common reasons why people are drawn to each other.
Forgiveness: The Gateway to Peace
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for many of us to do. Most of the time we find a way to make ourselves right, therefore the other person is wrong. If someone has wronged us in some way, and depending on the severity of their chosen behavior, the ego within wants to block this person from ever contacting us again. Have you run into this in your life? Did someone do something you least expected and forgiving them seemed like an impossible feat? Well, if this is you, you are not alone. At some point in life people surprise us.
A Course In Miracles: Key Concepts and How it Came to Be
A Course in Miracles was channeled beginning in 1965 and continuing for seven years until 1972 through a clinical and research psychologist from Columbia University by the name of Helen Schucman. For many years, Helen worked beside colleague and fellow research psychologist William Thetford, in which they had difficulty within the department, as well as personally.
The Shadow: Hidden Gems of the Unconscious Mind
Spiritual awakening is about uncovering the hidden elements of yourself that lay dormant within you. These qualities stay hidden in a treasure chest deep below the surface completely away from your conscious mind. This treasure box has one pad lock after another, as well as shields of armor standing guard for the utmost protection. It is imperative that your conscious mind never opens this secretive chest within you because when it does, the truth of what is really going on here will start to be revealed.
The Eye of the Storm: Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos
You don’t need to turn on the news to realize this world is full of one chaotic moment after the next. If you are around a lot of people, just wait five minutes and something else will roll in to add dramatic flair to your day. If you are around kids or you have children, you know exactly what I am talking about. Then, on top of your personal dilemmas, turn on the world of cable news that runs 24/7 and your heart will jump out of your chest at least fifteen times throughout the day.
Holistic Health: Getting Back To Nature
When we think of health, typically we think of the body. How is my physical health? We go into a doctor to take tests and see how our physical health measures up. If we are sick we assume that it is a physical problem, and it certainly seems so. The body is always dealing with some ailment. There are numerous causes in the physical system as to why symptoms are presenting themselves. The medical community is solely focused on these biological factors because that is mostly what they are taught.
The Now Moment: And the Mind’s Resistance To It
You might hear this term a lot today. THE NOW. Or the NOW MOMENT. When you stop and think about it, the only time that ever exists is NOW. There is no possible way to go back to the past, even if it’s just going back five minutes. There is no possible way of jumping into the future to see what you might be up to. The only moment we have is right here, right now. This is not a ground breaking idea. It is not an epiphany. It is simple.
Staying Sane in an Insane World
There is no escaping that this world is a dual world. This simply means this is a world of opposites. For every aspect, thought, belief, or preference there is always an opposite to it. There is the dark hidden shadow that exists behind the known, whether we are aware of it or not. That darkness stays present behind the light. Duality can be summed up as a concept meaning there are two, there is subject an object, you can’t have one without the other. Many will suggest that this is the function of the universe and the way in which it balances itself.
Intuition: The Human Computer
Have you ever had a sense of knowing something and you had no idea why? Have you ever felt so strongly about what was going to happen, or what you should be doing but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Have you had moments of feeling something has already happened before, a sense of deja vu? Most people have experiences in their life when an internal knowing presents itself. Often referred to as a sixth sense, it is the intangible communication we receive and have no idea how it is happening. There are many levels to intuition.
Ego Death: Losing Yourself and the Illusion of Life
Is something inside of you feeling a little off? Is there a movement within that has caught your attention but you refuse to acknowledge it? Are you actively pushing it into the background. Is something new and unfamiliar knocking on your door? Are you hearing the knock but refuse to see who and what is there? When you sense something brewing within you, but can’t quite understand what it is, yet you know it is there, you begin to sense that things are about to change. Your intuition knows that this profound feeling is pulling you in a direction you are very uncertain about. The unknown experience is now a dominate force in your life, which often creates an underlying fear.
Is It Personal or Is It Projection?
The world is a stage. And we are the actors. Just like Shakespeare expressed through his plays all of us are dressed up as what we believe ourselves to be and we participate in the world, interacting with others, exchanging glances, verbal exchanges, moments of laughter, moments of sorrow, times of incredible struggle, and all the while we rarely pick up on the fact that we are acting. We are so involved in ourselves, with who think we are in this world that we lose sight of the broader view. It’s like we cannot even see beyond what is right in front of our faces. Do you ever stop and pull back from the micromanagement of life and tap into the larger essence that surrounds us?
What Does Spirituality Mean Anyway?
Have you seen or been around people claiming a spiritual hierarchy or superiority? Do you get caught up in those preaching they are more enlightened than you are, therefore you should listen to them. What does it mean when someone says, “I’m so spiritual?” When people get involved in any type of spiritual practice, a spiritual movement, or join a large group of like-minded thinkers, there are always those that seem to boast about their spiritual experiences, insights, and evolution which ultimately leads them to claim their spiritual elitism.
