You activate your thoughts with your emotions

lee

This is the fifth in a series of eight articles based on The Eight Principles of Inner Peace as channeled by the Light Collective through renowned intuitive Kathryn Harwig. These principles are simple, yet profound, and apply to all beings in the cosmos. The essence of all eight principles is inner peace, and personal empowerment -- the powerful ability of humans to create the world of their choosing. Last month I discussed Principle Four -- You Create With Your Thoughts -- the first of a … [Read more...]

Film explores Science & Consciousness

Something

In her self-funded, 10,000-mile spiritual journey from South Africa to the United States, Dutch filmmaker Renee Scheltema challenges scientists for straight answers about psychic and paranormal experiences: Can we predict the future? Can our thoughts and intentions affect the physical world? Can we be spontaneously healed? Are we "mysteriously" connected? The result is a moving documentary film in an "everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask" style that concludes science and … [Read more...]

The Spiritual Wake-Up Call

dreamy

Apparently, there is more to life than what we see, and the proof can be as close as the dream you had last night or the nudge you got to call your friend. All life is naked to Divine Spirit. And you can learn the secret. Have you had a spiritual experience? Would you like to? Maybe you've had a dream you will never forget. Or an inner experience with a loved one who has passed on. Or maybe you've experienced being out of your body during a dream, meditation, or even in a crisis. The world … [Read more...]

A New Dawn! A Source for A Source!

schuster

Questions and answers, more questions and more answers! But where does it all begin? Where does it all flow from? The answers are numerous, the names are always changing, and the answers often conflict! Who is God? What is God? Why is God? Where is God? Why have there been so many Gods? Do we need one or multiple Gods? Have these Gods needed us and we were not aware of it? Whoa, that is a radical thought and question! Let us also ask, is God "Source"? Or, has "Source" existed long before the … [Read more...]

The Human Gift to the Universe

Thank goodness! Finally! Human beings and human doings have spent enough time in the dark. This universe has spent enough time in the dark. Human beings have accepted that death is a part of living the human experience. When a human life is over, we slip into the spirit world, which is supposed to be more awesome than this physical human world. But how could that be, if so many have returned time and time again to experience this physical human world? It would suggest there has got to be more … [Read more...]

The End of the Dreamstate

It is very possible that we as a society, as a species, are about to transform - not just as individuals, but in a deeper sense. If so, it's increasingly difficult for this transformation to occur in those who still bring a lot of baggage - false beliefs, guilt, anger, conditioning, positions and automatic behavior. This is because the transformation involves letting go, not struggle. It comes from a deeper place, a tuning in to a place of deep quietude, recognition of our unity with all things. … [Read more...]

First Twin Cities Awakening Conference

Eric Putkonen

"If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is 'the quiet acceptance of what is.'" - Wayne Dyer Enlightenment. Conscious Awakening. Just mention the words and the ears of the spiritual community perk up, only to hear nothing and then fall back asleep. We revere the enlightened gurus and read their books and aspire to be like them, and yet we lose interest when we assume we lack the lifetime of perfection required to get to that level of consciousness. We go to conferences and … [Read more...]

Here and Now

Beyond Belief

Back in the 1980s I found myself squeezing my way through the narrow aisles of the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood, California. Known for its extensive selection of books about things spiritual, the little shop was the place to troll for must-have reading material. I was on the alert for what I thought "should" be in my library, even if I wasn't much interested in the subject. My collection of books grew over time, but languished on my bookshelf for years, many unread, and eventually I … [Read more...]

Just gonna have to be a different man" - David Bowie, excerpts from "Changes" Oh, man are we going through some stuff as deep, rapid, fundamental changes demand our attention.

The End of Struggle

krown

"Many people think that enlightenment is an altered state of consciousness. Actually, what we perceive every day through the distorted lens of ego is the truly altered state - we see things that don't exist, we believe things that aren't happening, and we live in a false world of our own creation." - Adyashanti, The End of Your World (2008) Previous articles in this series have addressed the key myths that stand in the way of awakening. For the opportunity to awaken is very real and ever … [Read more...]

What’s so bad about getting high?

addiction_0309topic2

In current health care the growing use and interest in alternative methods of dealing with disease is still beset with one major stumbling block: the approach to illness, including addiction, after you are sick. Today, we wish to substitute natural and non-toxic methods for toxic, side-effect laden methods. This is indeed a noble cause and a step up from where we have been in medicine for the last 100 years. However, nearly all ancient methods of healing stressed prevention as the nobler … [Read more...]
