When you commit to discovering purpose in your life every day, you come to realize that YOU are the master of your reality and your world, and you have the innate power to change your inner and outer circumstances.
Life is a succession of beginnings. Every day, every hour, every moment in life, every one of us is confronted with new beginnings. Most beginnings appear small and insignificant, but if we think about it, nothing could be further from the truth, because everything that is starts with a beginning. The oak tree begins as an acorn, the flooding begins with a few drops of rain, the life-changing invention begins with an idea, the body begins as a cell, mastership begins with the decision to grow into a master, a book begins with a first sentence, the words „I have a dream …“
Letting Go of Doing is not about not doing things. It is about letting go of the doing mode of consciousness – the attitude we bring to our doing. The “doing mode” tells us we have to make a phone call, run an errand, respond to an email, do the laundry, complete the budget, prepare for the meeting. These may well be things that we have to do. But when we are stuck in the “doing mode” our attention is caught in the “having to do them, drive to get them done.
The future is coming faster and faster. This speeding up is the consequence of innovation breeding innovation, leading to exponential rates of development. As well as the many scientific and technological advances this will bring, it also places stress on the underlying systems – personal, social, planetary – accompanied by growing crises. Now more than ever we need our spiritual practice, to stay cool, calm, and collected in the coming storm of change.
When persuading individuals to take action or adopt change, stories are more effective than facts. Stories bring down resistance and open the mind of the listener to new possibilities. Effective storytelling engages the audience into the story as actors, not simply listeners.
In the challenging times that we are living through, it is crucially important for us to not “fit in,” but rather, express our unique creative spirit that more than anything wants to come through us and find its place in the world. Instead of blindly and passively subscribing to the new normal, let us create “the new abnormal,” in which we step into the radical act of being our naturally creative selves.
If we really want to live in a world of love and joy and abundance and peace, we need to start CREATING this world, and we create this world by ACTIVELY ENTERTAINING the idea of world peace and getting busy and serious creating peace in our own sphere of influence.
By revealing that we live in a thoroughly quantum universe, quantum physics is literally placing the keys to our future in our own hands – the question is, do we know how to wisely use the gift that is being freely offered to us?
Surrender is one of the most empowering, liberating, spiritually fulfilling experiences life can offer us. It’s much more enlightening than the mind can imagine. So it is going to take tremendous courage, strength, and patience to totally surrender your egoic desires to higher intelligence and guidance. Yet the good news is that surrender frees you from any suffering you are experiencing… instantly!
Seemingly forever, turmeric has been a primary spice used in natural medicine to heal a wide variety of ailments. Extracted from the ground up roots of the Curcuma longa plant is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent called curcumin.
Imagine the world thirty years from now. Very likely we’ll see quantum computing, nano-tech medicine, 3D-printed organs, artificial intelligence surpassing that of the human brain, possibly fusion power. Advances in molecular biology could be pushing life-expectancy ahead faster than we are aging. Our bodies, senses, and mental functions may be augmented in ways that seem like science fiction today.
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.
