Karma and Quantum Mechanics (Part 1)

Science searches for truth; spirituality should do no less, and when both science and spirituality agree on something, this is worth noting, and meditation and science seem to merge when it comes to our thoughts and sub-atomic particles.

The Spiritual Life

A spiritual life is our conscious aspiration to achieve a more fulfilling and illumining reality. A spiritual life strikes a balance between acceptance of the world and our inner spiritual disciplines. The ultimate goal of the spiritual life is to transcend our limitations and become aware of our inner capacities.

Intuition Vs. Imagination

We all have the potential to be psychic, though it is a side of our nature we don't tend to nurture, so for the most part, this ability stays 'switched off'. Some of us are born 'switched on', but that's not to say we know how to use our gift. If one decides to develop a dormant or existing ability, how do we discern psychic knowing from mental chatter?

The Seven Chakras - Gates to Freedom

The chakras are a part of what might be called our spiritual anatomy. Just as there is an anatomy to the physical body and maps to the physical world, so also there is a definite anatomy of our spiritual beings, as well as maps and guideposts to follow along the path of inner awakening. If we understand this spiritual anatomy, then we will find it much easier to advance in our search for God.

What Does Christ Expect From You?

When I was a child, and even the mother of young children, Easter was always a happy time. It was the beginning of spring, warm weather, easter baskets full of dyed eggs and chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. It was dressing up and going to church...and oh yea, Jesus rose to life after He was nailed to a cross. But mostly, it was having a family dinner and eating all kinds of good things. To be honest, I never really gave it that much thought as to what He really did for me upon that Cross. Maybe it's because I believed I had to do something or be someone really good and either at that time I didn't think I did anything horribly bad, or maybe at some point I was someone not worthy of Him. What do you think He expects of you? What if I tell you nothing!

Why This Penchant of the Dogmatic to Find Fault with Other Religions?

All science has its particular methods; so has the science of religion. The human mind is not homogeneous like the external world. According to the different nature, there must be different methods. As some special sense predominates in a person – one person will see most, another will hear most – so there is a predominant mental sense; and through this gate each must reach his own mind.

How Well Do You Know Me? Says Jesus

Do we know God like we think let me rethink and plant a few seeds on the way? What if Jesus said to us depart from me for I never knew you?

Can I Be Certain I Am Saved?

Unequivocally yes! If you are unsure about your salvation, there are a couple of possible explanations: 1. You aren't saved. 2. You are saved, but not walking in the victory God has given you. 3. You are saved, but the devil is messing with your mind. 4. You're backslidden. Let's address these issues one by one.

Situation Ethics and its Aftermaths!

A number of years ago I taught Proverbs to our preteens at church; I can only pray that at least one of these young souls learned that life comes with obligations, and it isn't to his or her eternal shame to act like it. I tried to impress upon these precious souls that these rules we all so abhor are actually fences to protect us, not barriers to our fun in life. As I said to a young fellow one day, if there were no rules on the road, we'd be roadkill!

We Are All One

We are all one. How can this be? I look different from all of you and you look different from me and all. How can this be? You sound different from me and I sound different from you and all. How can this be? You walk a different path that you have chosen for yourself and I and all walk a different path, for we have chosen for ourselves.

Does God Use Cracked Pots?

Do you have joy in your life every single day? This is God's will for you, and He has provided the keys that will bring happiness, contentment and joy regardless of your circumstances.

Do You Feel Rejected Part 3

2 Chronicles 16:9 says, ...the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to [show] himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…(KJV).

Don't Stop Believing Part 2

It’s just like when a woman is pregnant; it’s said that she is expecting a baby. She carries inside her the promise of a baby, and even though she can't see it, she knows it's there. The moment she learns of her pregnancy, she begins to plan for her baby's arrival. She starts collecting items she'll need and busily gets the nursery ready. She actively prepares for the arrival of the baby because she knows the promise

Do It Afraid Part1

Fear! Has it ever been a problem for you, holding you back from moving into areas that could enrich your own life and the lives of others? There is a solution.

Earth's Crammed With Heaven

The title of this article is from an excerpt from an Elizabeth Barret Browning poem. And the point she makes is so true, that I figured an article should be written about it. Earth is in fact crammed with heaven and most of us never notice it.
