Soul's Journey

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Many people think they come back
To this world over and over.
It is not like that.
The soul is on an upward spiral toward God/Truth
And with each journey,
Sheds the clothes of its former existence.
Electing to travel from world to world;
Making it perfect:
One day to join God/Truth
As Pure Radiant Light.

Transmigration of souls
Is on many levels:
Not just in the earth phase.
-SB

Religion: Foundation for Spiritual Learning

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Religion is the basis of life.
It is the focus from which
All other things spring.
-A. Hussain

*          *

Organized religion is a structure through which spiritual learning can begin and mature. Over the years, as travelers advance, spiritual learning takes place more and more outside of a religious context and occurs in daily life through personal spiritual experience. Personal spiritual experience is the natural extension of religious inquiry; the great religions were created to be spiritual highways for travelers to start learning about themselves and their relationship with Truth.

What’s Your Wild Soul Story?

Perhaps as a child you played by a creek entranced by the tiny tadpoles that swam in the flickering depths. Or there was a favorite tree you could never pass without swinging from her branches. Perhaps, caught in a thunderstorm, your spirit rose to the immensity of energy that swirled and crashed around you.

In these moments, we feel a deep connection to the natural world. We feel part of something alive. We are living our Wild Soul Stories.

Our Wild Soul Stories can occur at any time, from childhood to the present.  Often they catch us unawares, as when, after a long, hard day, we watch as the setting sun splays purples and pinks across the sky and we are touched, unexpectedly, by a sense of awe. (more…)

Truth and righteousness contain all morality

By Lt Col R K Langar

Our ideal in life should be to speak the truth and act righteously. When translated into Sanskrit the title of this write up will be SATHYAM VADA DHARMAM CHARA. Mahabharata says that Dharma or Righteousness is adequate to lead one to the status of Absolute Brahman. Mahabharata also underscores that Dharma is eternal Truth and Truth is Righteousness (Dharma).

Renounce and Enjoy

By: Lt Col R K Langar

Renunciation, whose Sanskrit equivalent is Tyaga or to give up, forms an inseparable part of Vedanta or Hindu Philosophy. Renunciation is commonly used for Tyaga of fruit of actions which you perform in life. This is to ensure that your complete focus is on work in hand and not on the results of your work so that your focus on work is not disturbed by thinking about fruit of action. Thus we see that Renunciation is an inner attitude and has nothing to do with renunciation of works while living in the world. (more…)

Enjoying Signs From the Dead

By Roberta Grimes

Our growing understanding of how reality is structured makes us realize how near the dead are to us.

They are right here! There are something like eight primary levels of energy-based reality, separated from one another only by their different rates of vibration, with the earth-level apparently the lowest level. The higher-vibration levels are where the dead reside. But far from making communication easier, the fact that reality is an energy spectrum all located in a single place makes unaided communication from there to here difficult. Think of your Channel Five weatherman and your Channel Nine newsman trying to chat without cellphones while both are on the air and you can better see the problem. (more…)

In World Drama Man Plays Three Different Roles

By Lt Col R K Langar

Human life on earth has been described in a number of ways. It is said that life is a battle field (Dharamshetra as described in Bhagavad Gita) where there is a continuous battle going on inside a man between knowledge and ignorance, between discrimination and reactive attitude. Some say  life is a school where we keep on learning as long as we live. Life is also described as a game which you must play and give in your best without competing with others. Life is also Yoga – a continuous process of self conquest for connecting with God which is also a process of self awareness or knowing "Who Am I". And in relation to the world life has also been described as a stage drama where we appear to play our roles and then leave the world. (more…)

Dying to Know You

Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience

by P.M.H. Atwater

“This book is a treasure. It ranks among the loftiest expressions in modern survival literature.”
— Larry Dossey , M.D.

What has been missing from my work, from everyone else’s work, from personal stories, from those who interpret personal stories, from experts in religion and spirituality, from the news media, the scientists, the grief-stricken, and the born again . . . is the voice of the collective . . . inside what we all seek to describe. What lies at the heart of near-death experiences? (more…)

Bottled Water

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

While grocery shopping have you considered how many brands and variety of bottled water are available?  There is natural, cold spring, hot spring, sport, vitamin enhanced and countless diet and non-diet carbonated soda water.

Also at meals, have you noticed how rarely water is the beverage of choice? In some restaurants, you have to ask for water before they will serve it; and it is not uncommon for some children, in their own home, to go days without a plain, glass of water.

It is the same with humanity’s religion.  There is an endless variety of forms and for most people, the ‘water’ must be sweetened and dressed-up before they will drink it.

What Is Reality?

Seeing In Part - The Psychic Circles and Higher Consciousness

by Gabriel of Urantia

Confucius, Omar Khayyam, Descartes, Aquinas, and Theresa of Avila of older eras and Kant, Thoreau, Thomas Merton, Krishnamurti, Teilhard de Chardin, Thich Nhat Hanh, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Mary Baker Eddy, and Alice Bailey of more contemporary times) - all have had their slant on what they think true reality is. St. Augustine wrote the City Of God about his understanding of reality and divine nature, but Paul wrote in scripture:

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.  (1 Corinthians 13:12) (more…)
