953. In Search of a Teacher of Spirit: Eleven Conscious Considerations By JoAnne Scalise
     Many of us are on an inward or outward path—to Enlightenment, to our Higher Selves, to our eternal connection with Source. We are called to this for reasons only the individual can describe, or more often, just know, and in the course of this Path, we often connect with other like minded (Light minded?) beings. And because we all have chosen specific areas of Service, we alternate roles of healer, teacher, guide and leader. We each can offer Service to others, often by our presence and energet…

955. Auras – Observations and Theories By Jeffry Palmer
     I have seen auras my entire life. I remember feeling surprised and confused when I first learned that not everyone is able to see auras. This sense of bewilderment led me to search for clues at an early age as to what the exact nature of the aura really is.My research encompassed eastern philosophy, biology, Jungian psychology, electro-magnetism, metaphysics, new age spiritualism and a host of other material which served to shed some light on the phenomena of auras but which didn’t quite matc…

     “I resolve to speak ill of no man…and proper occasions speak all the good I know of everybody.” -Benjamin Franklin"Judge not, that ye be not judged.” -Matthew 7:1Letting Go of Judgment - Finding Good (God) in OthersEveryday we make thousands of judgments about people, places, situations and events. These judgments happen so quickly and are such a part of our lives that we are not even aware that we are passing judgment. How we were raised and what we were taught play a significant role in …



957. The Truth of Reactions By Wayne Wirs
     In my life, I have tried to be Good and Pure and True. In these qualities, I have failed miserably. Why is it so hard to be good? Why is it so difficult to act in harmony with our mental ideals?From the sea of Emptiness, everything arises.Many people on the spiritual path eventually come face to face with their "Dark Side" - that part of themselves that is very, un-enlightened, selfish and spoiled. Reactions are a great mirror. We shout at the driver who cut us off. We take advantage of our em…

959. God Can See Your Heart By Mary Gardner
     Today is the day that I’m getting back into exercise. I sprained my ankle last week and although I’ve been swimming and rode the stationary bike, today was the day that I decided to go for a 1 hour walk.Near the end of my walk today I got yelled at. No, SCREAMED at would be a better choice of words. I was about to cross over across the street and a car was whipping around a circle to the left of me. I hesitated as he did because I thought he was going to go around the circle and turn back ar…



960. Letting Go By Stephania Munson
     In August, here in the mountains of southwest Virginia, the trees acquire a dull sheen that signals the end of summer. Heralded by the Dog Days of summer, it's a melancholy, bittersweet season. Daytime temperatures may soar, the humidity is sweltering, but nights are cool. In the mornings, a fog rises from the mountains, reminiscent of a Japanese painting. And each day is shorter.Stars on a late summer night are like diamonds in a velvet sky. This year, August 12 falls on a Friday, and af…



961. Acknowledging the Existence of Your Soul By John Sherman
     Talking about your "soul" and the deeper things in life is so frequently considered as spun out or weird in modern, take-away-eating, order-it-on-the-internet life, but if you are one of these people, you'll find that letting go of socialistic trends like these will free you in a way that you simply cannot be freed in a materialists world.The end result is inner peace that no material possession could ever come close to. No, really.How do I acknowledge its existence?It starts by simply observi…



962. Are You Hot, Cold, or Lukewarm? By Brian K Burns
     On a scale from 0 to 10 (0 means you are cold and antagonistic toward God and 10 means you are zealously pursuing His will and are totally dependent on Him and His life), where would you place your relationship with Him. Many people would place themselves around a 6 not wanting to be fewer than 5 (which would put them more toward the cold side). But still realizing they aren’t a 9 or 10 (on fire for God). Let’s see what Jesus has to say about this matter:“I know your deeds, that you are neit…



963. Meditations From a Spiritual Journey By Jeremy Hoover
     For me, the best poetry stirs my soul; it awakens my spirit through its clarity and simplicity. Its purpose is clean, pointing me towards greater understanding of who I am in this world, or, even better, towards comprehension of the divine that indwells both this world and me. It is this comprehension, this movement towards the divine, that enables each of us to make this world better as we work for justice and an “acting-out” of the divine’s attributes.Much poetry that is published does not…



964. Peace on Earth in another 365 Days
     For three hundred and sixty four days, one third of the world's population that is Christian talks of peace. And for one day of the year they manage to experience it... If the youngest and largest single group of the three major religions can manage to manifest one day of peace each year, surely it could be a model for other religions to follow. All groups talk of peace, but Christians for the most part have managed to celebrate one day each year in peace. But even this is superficial. As one c…



965. Releasing the Yoke By Saundra L. Washington
     When the Bible makes reference to a “yoke” it is referring to a heavy piece of wood shaped to fit around the neck and fasten to a pole. It was primarily used to tie oxen together (usually two); the older ox had its yoke and the younger had its yoke. But the younger ox’s yoke was bigger and stronger because it was developed so that the older ox could guide the younger.In the Bible “yoke” is used most often metaphorically to designate a burden, slavery, or obligation. In other words, yoke means …



966. Change Your Beliefs -- Change Your Health By Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
     To many people in the Western world Metaphysical Healing is akin to voodoo, quackery, complete fantasy or lunacy. In China, Japan, India and other Eastern countries Metaphysical Healing has been the primary medical practice for thousands of years. Metaphysical Healing is becoming more recognized in the western world. However, it is primarily considered a last resort approach, whereas, in Eastern countries Western medicine is considered a last resort approach.Understanding Metaphysical Healing …



967. What Does Unconditional Love Really Mean? By Roy Klienwachter
     Unconditional love means unconditional freedom. Love and freedom are two of those words that are interchangeable. Freedom of choice is unconditional love, unconditional freedom. Choice is another of those words that are interchangeable with Love and freedom.For the most part humanity understands little of what the word ‘unconditional,’ means. Unconditional means… "NO CONDITIONS." This lack of understanding is what has divided man from man and religion from religion throughout his sojourn in th…



968. Appearances
     I grew up in a small farm town in rural western New York State. As a boy, I often wandered out into the woods, hills, and fields. There was a peace and solitude I loved about the wild places. I suppose that's why I live in Wyoming today. I spent many happy hours wondering in those wild places, usually alone, and sometimes with my brother and cousins. Many warm memories of those childhood days remain with me today. But there was one place we were afraid of -- a dark, dense woods. It was haunted b…



969. Trust Jesus (and Stress and Fear will Disappear) By Dawn Fields
     Everything was going wrong.The weight of the world had decided to settle on my shoulders. Bill collectors were calling and asking for payments that I didn’t have.The car insurance was due and I simply did not have it. The cable went out on Wednesday, and I love Law & Order but had to miss it because regular television doesn’t work without cable in my area.The final straw came when the Student Loan people called and demanded I send a payment. I couldn’t handle it anymore. Not by myself, I coul…



970. Jesus Christ: One Can Reach God Only Through Him - Is this Statement Correct? By Vijay Kumar
     Catch the express or the super fast bullet train. If we are able to reach our goal the purpose is served. Talk of Jesus Christ, Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, or Prophet Mohammed... all reached the goal they had established in their life. The goal of all (including Jesus Christ) was the same... only the paths were different.Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed... all wanted to have one-to-one interaction with God the Almighty. All four of them succeeded in their life. If Je…



971. Instructions... Guess Work or God's Work? By Vivian Gordon
     I can't boast about my culinary skill, because I just don't have the natural ability to get around in a kitchen and "whip" something up. I am one of those people who lacks the imagination to throw something together. My sister on the other hand can make a gourmet meal out of a handful of ingredients and feed a family of 5.Sadly enough I am the kind of person who needs directions, a recipe to follow because without them I haven't got a clue. Unless it's something I can bake, fry, grill o…



972. Wisdom Quotes Point - Arguments Just Explain By Steven Gillman
     "What does it profit a man to have gained the whole world, and to have lost his soul?" - Jesus ChristYou don't need to be Christian to see wisdom in the words of Jesus. Simple quotes from men and women around the world, from present day or milleniums past, inspire and instruct us, regardless of the religious or spiritual tradition they come from. Nor do spiritual and religious people have a monopoly on wisdom. Quotes that touch on the truth of a matter can come from scoundrels, saints, and ord…



973. Who is Saint Germain? By Ron Henry
     Searching for Saint Germain, legacy and MysteryYears ago I was often watched a now unbroadcast television show called, "In Search of." The show was hosted by Leonard Nimoy (the legendary Mr. Spock of Star Trek) and its weekly segments explored historically secreted accounts of extraordinary individuals and unusual if not unexplainable phenomenon. I personally loved the show, even if its production was at times campy and some of the dramatizations were oversimplified. It was none the less refre…



974. Reincarnation and Karma: Questions and Answers By Swami Nirmalananda
     When I listen to people on TV that talk to spirits that have passed on, they say that we chose to come back as who we are in this life, so that almost sounds like it was a script we chose to live out. That seems to be that it was all written and what happens is predisposed.We do indeed determine what each life is going to be in a general way . For reincarnation does not stand alone. In fact, it is not an entity unto itself, but is the result of karma, the law that "whatsoever a man soweth, th…



975. About Divine Communication - A Special Q & A By Barbara Rose, Ph.D.
     1. How can anyone receive direct communication from Divine Source, God, All That Is?Each spiritual/human being IS a physical manifestation of Divine Source. We are always receiving communication at every moment of our lives, however, most people are attuned to what their five senses are showing them, and think they are closed off to receiving direct Divine communication.Each time you have a “gut instinct” or that “still small voice” within that is guiding you, even if the guidance may not make…

2. We Are Not Our Personalities By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
As a Psychiatrist I spent most of my life training and researching effective therapies that would help my clients make changes in their personalities. The premise was that by making such a change the client would feel capable of doing or feeling things that they could not access before. Such change is regularly sought by individuals who find themselves the prisoners of personality characteristics that they have either inherited or become conditioned with throughout their lives. These personali…

3. What is Human? - All About Heaven! By Teow Aun Chew
There are many ways to classify Heaven. Buddhism partitions Heaven into three major regions: Heaven of Desire, Heaven of Image, and Heaven of Non-image. It further subdivides these three regions into twenty-eight sub-regions, depending on their pureness. Heaven of Desire has six-regions, Heaven of Image has eighteen, and Heaven of Non-image has four. Taoism partitions Heaven into thirty-six sections because there are three-hundred and sixty degrees ia a circle. Taoism also classifies Heaven in…

4. His Backyard By Terry Weber
I was out in the backyard cutting the grass last week when I noticed a caterpillar strolling down a blade of grass. Now, I happen to know this particular caterpillar will one day be a Monaarch butterfly, you know, the kind with the big black and gold wings.After the change from worm to butterfly takes place, he'll fly soar, float and flutter and I'm sure he'll think he's in a new world wih his brand new life and the freedom to fly anywhere.Our lives are kind of like that little caterpillar…
