Many people believe that the powers of science are unlimited. Science is a process of uncovering the mechanisms by which nature works, and eventually, after enough experimentation and investigation, every mystery will be understood.
When a seed — or an animal — or a man is ripe, it must mature to its next phase. Or rot. Stewart Edward White.
The various environmental, economic, and social problems confronting us are symptomatic of a deeper underlying crisis — a crisis in our thinking, perception, and values.
Before we can begin to consider the evolution of consciousness, we have to ask when consciousness first arose. Are human beings alone conscious, or are other creatures also conscious? Is an animal such as a dog, for example, conscious?
A few years ago, an acquaintance of mine moved to Barcelona to begin a contract job. Within minutes of arriving at the airport, all his luggage was stolen, including his wallet, with his money and the contact details for his job in it.
Your subconscious mind works best when your conscious mind is asleep or pleasantly occupied. In between intending and manifesting must be a temporary period of forgetting. If you want a good parking spot, give yourself enough time to forget about your intent before you get there. The sooner you think about something else the sooner reality can get to work. There is no easier way to take your conscious mind off something than by keeping yourself busy with something else.
Your conscious mind is the part of your mind that deals with reason and logic. It is the director of your subconscious mind, which is the part of your mind that deals with energy and creation. Your conscious mind is the logical mind that functions with logic. You think with the conscious mind and it is the programmer of the subconscious mind, which is the creative mind that carries out the program. Convince your logical mind so that it will send the right instructions to your creative mind.
Pure universal knowledge includes everything. If you are adhering to one line of thought, one mode of thinking, one idea structure, and excluding all others, then you are not having pure knowledge. Spirit is identified with the Cosmos itself.
“If all over the world the woman is allowed the freedom to grow to her potential, there will be many, many women enlightened; many, many women mystics, poets, painters. And will enhance not only the woman’s part of the world – because the world is one – they will enhance the whole world”. Osho.
“Awakening Experiences” are normal and natural. One evening last summer, when I was on holiday with my family in Wales, I decided to explore the farmland around our rented bungalow. I climbed over a gate I hadn’t noticed before because it was hidden by long grass, and found myself looking down at a valley,
Fifty years ago, as our culture began a collective journey of conscious awakening, the Beatles recorded their anthem, “All You Need is Love.” Since then, we’ve been distilling the wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions, stripping away the trappings of time and misunderstanding, to reveal their common truths.
Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent.
A Quantum’s Eye View. “Good morning, Alice,” a voice said. Or at least it seemed like a voice. Alice rubbed her eyes. She’d fallen asleep in the orchard and had been dreaming of tea parties with singing cakes and dancing oysters. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, but there was no one in sight. Had the voice been in the dream, she wondered?
The underlying archetypal process that is giving shape and form to events in our world originates in the unconscious psyche of humanity. Because it is not honored and recognized, the unconscious psyche of humanity is asserting its power in a destructive way so as to reveal itself.
“In the final analysis, the hope of every person is simply peace of mind”. The Dalai Lama
Most of us have become so focused on what it is we think we want, we have forgotten what it is we are really seeking. We seldom ask ourselves “What is it we really want?”
Enlightenment is about seeing through the illusions of life and knowing what reality really is. When you are enlightened, you can have everything you want. Because you’ll know the truth about what everything is, and what does it really means to have something.
We are living through the most exciting times in human history. Breakthroughs in every area of science are opening our minds to the beauty and mystery of the material world. At the same time technology is giving us the power to make many of our dreams come true.
From time to time, we all have experiences when restlessness and discontent fade away, and we’re filled with a sense of ease, well-being, and harmony. We become free of pressure to keep busy and the need for stimulation, and rest at ease within ourselves and within the present moment.
Life is meant to be an adventure. We come out of our mothers womb as a tiny baby, and in a certain amount of time our body no longer functions and we go through the portal of death. With this as our unavoidable destiny, how can everything that happens after we are born not be an adventure? From birth, we are destined to have an amazing wild ride.
“As the turmoil of humanity seems to increase”, says Bjorn Simonsen, “it is quite possible to see that we need to address how the energy of fear filters our reality, how we have identified with it, and how we can start to reverse this process of negativity. Peace becomes a reality when we take responsibility for our perceptions and our energetic condition.”

“You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t! You have wings, learn to use them and fly!” ~Rumi
The enlightened state of being is something everyone must experience in this lifetime. It is an indescribable state of peace, bliss, and love that permeates your body and penetrates everyone around you.
In every breathing moment of life, you are attracting something to you. Whether you are magnetizing what you want or what you don’t want, all depends on how conscious you are in this very moment.
Although we may not be able to make synchronicities happen, we can create environments that foster their occurrence. We can create an inner environment of wholeness and high intention; and in our outer lives, we can engage ourselves fully in the world, mix with the social field, go out and play. Play whatever game and role best fits our intentions.
What makes it possible for human beings to behave with such cold brutality and violence? It’s much too simplistic to ascribe their behaviour to some innate “evil”, or to say that they are insane. Instead, it’s important to look at the psychological factors which give rise to terrorism.
