New Age Spirituality - How To Get Started ?

Did you know:

Who was it that taught you to love or hate your children?

Who was it that taught you to love or hate your spouse,your parents, your relatives,your neighbours, and all the other people in this world?

Who was it that taught you to love or hate your own self?

Ask yourself these questions and you will find that the real question is not "How to Get started" rather, "How did we get started in the first place to move in a totally opposite direction?"

So do not worry about getting started in spirituality. 'Just be there'. When i say 'Just be there' what i mean is when you watch a video or read an article or listen to an audio surrender yourself completely to 'the feeling' which the audio/video or articles resonate onto you. Do not analyse or think about it intelligently. Keep connecting,going deeper and deeper into yourself. Take only the feelings with you as you go deeper and deeper into yourself. Re-read the article you loved 10 times, 20 times watch the video you liked as many times. Connect ... Even a single story, a single video or a single audio could help you connect.

There is only one thing you need to do. Give way to your feelings. Now i am not talking of emotions here. We will cover the difference between feelings and emotions later on. Right now, Give space for your feelings to grow. This is key. The reason we get stuck up in any area of our life is because we have blockages inside of ourselves. We have not allowed our deepest feelings to grow, to take flight... We need to give it more space,more room so that it can expand by itself. We really do not have to do anything else other than give our deepest feelings 'more space' to grow. Period.

So you see our questions are getting refined as we move deeper into the issue. The question you have to ask yourself is "Am i giving my deepest feelings space to grow?" or "What should i do to give my feelings space to grow?"

The first thing you obviously need to do is spend time with your feelings. The first thirty minutes of your day is very crucial to begin with.

So what do you do the first thirty minutes of your day?

It does not matter how complex or wonderful your life is but if you do not spend quality time with your deepest feelings you will not care for it and when you do not care for it you will not give it space to grow.. And when you do not give it space to grow you will stay where you are.

Our self growth has to be vertical not horizontal. John says" You will have everything to live with but nothing to live for" when your growth is horizontal. So let us learn to fly and explore a world which could possibly give you everything that you need ,if you only could give it more space to grow...

The heavens beyond are great and wonderful but far greater and wonderful are the heavens within you. It is these Eden's that await the divine worker.

I would love to hear back from you on two things:

1)How each of you spend your first thirty minutes of the day?

2)What do you do to give your deepest feelings space to grow?

Questioning the Definition of Astrology, Our Ancestors Pass On Their Memories and Behaviour Through Spiritualism


Everyone has a hard time justifying astrology as a science due to the wide variations that exist within the world of humans. The definition of astrology is an ancient system of divination using the positions of the planets, moon, and stars. According to astrology the celestial bodies exert specific energies that influence people and events. These influences may be determined by mapping positions in the sky at various times, but is still regarded today as a huge speculative issue due to the deep complexities and misunderstanding associating the field. What if the powers of Astrology had a deeper meaning, which stretched into the spiritual world and the ethereal planes of existence, including the very top-tier planes of power. Astrology is widely interpreted by every human on earth, but only a certain few have a defined ability to understand anything about it. A fair amount of people define astrology as “nonsense” and “childish” through lack of understanding. These are of course the usual human reactions to something we can’t understand.

How are the powers of astrology currently portrayed to the world? Currently, people manifest numbers and equations on planetary alignments, star locations, the apparent divine powers the sun has and also the moon. Their conclusion of what is the horoscope is usually the external scripture you will read. While largely amusing, holds little scientific merit. Astrology needs to be valued more than just this. It is a concept to be considered for all walks of life; it holds bearing to the time continuum of the past, present and future settings on earth.

The human race has existed for a great deal of time now and has since evolved heavily in appearance, behaviour, intelligence, structure, strength, ability, perception and so much more. Some people consider the present to hold the “maximum amount of people time has ever seen” but again we can only speculate about such mysteries told of the highly advanced civilization that apparently walked earth (theosophists define it as Atlantis, the real society and cultural name is unheard) and the age old question of just how long has the world existed? The documented time that has existed shows the definitive lives of several billion people, all born under the same planetary rotation of the earth, which is 365 days or 52.177 weeks. This universal pre-set time fixture of 365 has dated and cycled existence accordingly throughout several millions of years, and in that time has been rotating humans. Currently the study of astrology and namely Astrologists are people who predict the future by the positions of the planets and sun and moon. They do this based on their own interpretation and creativity, which can be as inventive as the person likes. Astrology to some is just a shallow fabric of life to help them feel better by reading what is known as “Powerful wording” written by novelists and professional writers. It is widely under-appreciated the similarities that hold true in the definition of each human’s star sign. In that I mean for every 500 people born in August for example, on the exact same date, hold a very strong connection to each other in terms of their memories, philosophies, beliefs and behaviour. All things which astrology boasts, these are relations not understood by many. It is in that key of understanding and spiritual-thinking that makes people wonder how many humans were born at the exact same moment in time you were, only altering the year. If we were to find that spiritual connection, just how much like that person would we be? If you were to consider sun-sign astrology ONLY, this would be fallible due to the alteration of the physical plane of life, which is earth’s galaxy.

If you were to consider all aspects and relations, the planes of existence, powers to be and the akashic records, these spiritual points all connect to the “collective consciousness” Carl Jung was referring to. The collective consciousness is only Jung’s interpretation and hence a vague reference to the gateways he portrayed. Jung attempted to show the connections between dreams, anthropology and the dualism of life to astrology. His work always showed these links but the people could never grasp the concept of them, given a large amount of humans will only work on what they perceive to be fact-based evidence. The creation of humans defined by scientists is a great example of what can be construed as myth or fact. Physical items “prove” evolution to be the definitive, such as bones and relics discovered at different points in time. We believe this to be the truth because we perceive it based on our senses, which is as far as some people can stretch their mind.

This article is making a bold question to the beliefs of “Astrology”, the purpose intended is to get people thinking about the world and the deeper meanings it has to offer. Consider the relations, sources and relevant knowledge available to you and you’ll always keep an open mind to the question that everyone asks. “What is life”.

New Age Spirituality – Morning Has Been All Night Coming ( Part 9 )


Among the different people I’d met years ago was a man whose name was Gideon. Today, as I sat quietly on the porch gazing at the trees in the backyard, he came to my mind once more. Gideon was a very special person, indeed. I first met him in a parking lot not far from the Big City where I used to live. Together we shared some special adventures and through him I was introduced to some of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.

I had often wondered what became of him. Through the traumatic and trying times of the recent past, I always hoped he would appear again, sharing more secrets of the universe, as he had done long ago. Both he and his colleague, Marla, had been a comfort during my times of financial difficulties, but it had been a long time since I’d seen either one. The last time we met was somewhat like a dream where Gideon, Marla and I attended a party with some noted guests.

Time and distance take their toll on memory. I could vaguely recall mingling with the guests, all the while listening to their ideas about life on Earth, God, the Universe and individual purpose. But that was a long time ago, and so many changes had occurred in my life since then. No longer did I share the company of my wife of many years. My children were growing up, and it seemed that Gideon and Marla dwelled in another time and space far, far away. Yet, there was a part of me that knew I would meet them again one day.

Days dragged slowly into weeks, and weeks into months. The emptiness that enveloped my life seemed to precipitate inertia. My only desire was to do nothing but sit and stare blankly. There are many things we know intellectually but do not believe in our hearts. What would it be like, I wondered, if Mardai appeared to me and told me how she was and what she was doing?
