CHRIST AND GURUSHAKTI

  CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS HAS TO ASSUME A HUMAN FORM Christ has never left us. The body of the historical Christ might have disintegrated into its original elements, but the Christ Consciousness is eternal, and it has never left us; it is always there. It had no beginning, and...

THE MARK OF AN UNFOLDED MAN?

  SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL UNFOLDMENT Spiritual unfoldment has specific qualifications in our daily living life. The qualifications help us tackle the problems of daily living. The ability to turn what was previously un-joyous into joy is a sign of spiritual unfoldment. As we have discussed before, all unhappiness...

HOW TO ACHIEVE HARMONY?

  THROUGH OUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICES, WE ACHIEVE HARMONY WITHIN OURSELVES Achieving self-realisation means that self-integration has to take place within ourselves. By self-integration, we could say that there are three aspects to every human being: the physical, the mental, and the spiritual. In today’s world, we find that...

WHAT IS THE ABSOLUTE?

  BECOME THE OBSERVER When you become the observer, everything will have a different meaning.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR GRACE?

  THE POWER OF GRACE CAN ONLY BE KNOWN THROUGH EXPERIENCE All problems in our lives begin the way we live in duality, viewing everything as separate from us. Speaking, all issues have their solutions built in. No man needs to suffer. No man needs to drive grace...

HOW TO TREAT THE PAST?

  When we say let the past be the past, it contains a very great truth. It means forgetting because by remembering the past, you will be living the past in your mind, and by stirring up those old memories, you will only suffer in the present. The...

FIND YOUR OWN WAY

  JNANA-, KARMA- AND BHAKTI YOGA Apart from the known religions, there have been many other unknown teachings. Man is entitled to form his philosophy. There is nothing wrong with that at all. Conviction, honesty and sincerity in what you believe are the most critical factors you must...

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK?

  If you are slapped on one cheek, turn the other one. So said Christ. This is very good, but nowhere in the scriptures where it says, do not defend yourself. In practical reality, specific measures are to be taken, but not to the extent where it is...

WE COMBINE ALL THE YOGAS

  WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY WHEREBY THE BODY AND MIND CAN BE WELL-RESTED Many schools of thought teach their way. What we are most concerned about is our way. We recognise the necessity for deep rest of the body and the need for deep rest of...
