- Transcendental Meditation, Mindfulness And Enlightenment
By: Jeanne Ball | - "What's the difference between Transcendental Meditation and mindfulness meditation?" This frequently asked question rises out of the growing popularity of these two mainstream meditation practices. Due to requirements of time and tuition for learning the Transcendental Meditation technique, some people may wonder, "Aren't all meditations basically the same?" Mindfulness practices can be easily learned from a book, online or from a therapist, whereas the TM course involves up to 15 hours of trai ...

- What Is Advaita Vedanta
By: James Swartz | - We cannot dismiss the Yoga view completely because untold millions of truthful persons have experienced the self over tens of thousands of years so we need to look for a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. One possible explanation lies in the imprecise use of language. It may be that the experience of the self is actually a shift from the individuals point of view to the selfs...in which case it would be more accurate to say that the self exp ...

- Moksha According To Yogic Philosophies
By: Dee Braun | - Moksha is a term used in many Indian religions. Someone who is thought to experience Moksha is absolved of the suffering and constant rebirth (reincarnation) that life brings. Constantly going through life and death is not considered to be a good thing according to many religious Indian people.
In Hinduism, Moksha cannot be obtained until one reaches a state of full self realization. A Hindu is likely to practice at least one form of Yoga. They also realize that God shows up in ma ...

- Jean-jacques Rousseau's Profound Impact On Philosophy And Politics
By: William Nugent | - The French Revolution was the result of a culmination of ideas. Philosophers introduced new ideas to the literate elite. The elite put those ideas into motion. It resulted in a period of radical social upheaval and genocide that changed the course of civilization.
The mass murders and guillotining of people in the Vendee district of western France were unparalleled at the time and not to be exceeded until the genocides of the 20th century.
The French Revolution wa ...

- The Divine Right To Live In Abundance And The Oneness Blessing
By: Carmellita Brown | - Did you know you have a divine right to live in abundance? Has anyone ever just said the words to you, "you have the divine right to live in abundance?" Can you accept this most powerful life affirming statement? Most importantly are you willing to practice it in your everyday life?

- Spiritual Transformation, Channeling Wisdom, And Co-creating Your Reality For Success
By: Carmellita Brown | - We can always experience success in life if we are willing to become more and allow more to be expressed through us as we co-create our reality. This includes being a channel of wisdom and a vehicle for spiritual transformation. We should strive to become more because life is always becoming more. Yes, life is always becoming more and those of us who allow life to become more through us are powerful co-creators. Life is expressed through us as co-creators. Most importantly, life is expresse ...

- Esoteric Wisdom Is Enlightenment For Spiritual Transformation And The Kundalini Awakening
By: Carmellita Brown | - The Kundalini rises and you feel the presence of unconditional love. Something is different in this moment; you are awakened. Yes, something is different. Something is different because you are experiencing spiritual transformation and Kundalini awakening (also known as true serpent power).
This often times happens when we are enlightened with Esoteric wisdom. When we awaken to Esoteric wisdom, we experience enlightenment. Esoteric wisdom has life-changing power when we allo ...

- The Gift Of Powerful Sanskrit Mantras
By: Carmellita Brown | - Mantras are sounds which "form" the unformed stuff of the universe. Sanskrit mantras are sound formulas for transformation. Each word, syllable, or phrase is designed for transformation, higher-order thinking, and protection as we co-create our reality. Mantras are a way to connect with the Creative Spirit and to actively participate in the creation process as a co-creator.
To this same effect, mantras also work to transform our vibration. And those of us on the path of enligh ...

- Lightworkers Give Divine Guidance For Inspiration, Enlightenment, Abundance, And Prosperity
By: Carmellita Brown | - The light of life is in all of us. It is the work and gift of the Lightworker to give words of wisdom, provide resources for enlightenment, and to inspire you as you discover your inner light. All of it--wisdom, enlightenment, and inspiration--is Divine guidance.
Accordingly, with Divine guidance we experience the transforming power of the Creative Spirit along with wonderful synchronicities which "lead" us to success and happiness. That is correct "lead" us to success and ha ...

- The Path To True Inner Peace, True Happiness And True Success: The Popular Paths Won't Get You There
By: Robert Scheinfeld | - The other day I received an email that said, "The shortcut to anything you want in your life is to be and feel happy now." It seems inspirational on the surface, and virtually everyone wants happiness, inner peace, and spiritual abundance, but a statement like that is just another example of a success technique or "prescription" that doesn't work - or that you can't actually take action on, no matter how hard you try.
There are many methods to help you experience success and happi ...

- Tantra Leads To Supreme Enlightenment
By: Acharya Subhojit Dasgupta | - There are numerous paths to achieve Realization. Of the many paths, Tantra is considered as the 'crown' of realization because it puts you in direct contact with the entire process of complete realization.
The reason why Tantra is so powerful is because Tantra interconnects and unites all of reality, and everything attained on the physical level also crosses into the spiritual level as well. And the spiritual and the physical are no longer separate but an integral part of each oth ...

By: AliandCary | - Funny, 'Intelligent Optimist' is a group I finally feel I can say I belong too. I didn't fit into any group in High school and I'm still a little odd today. I'm grateful this fast growing group is one I can feel comfortable going to the pep rally for. That being said, Ode Magazine is one of the best resources for information on consciousness out there. It truly is, for us Intelligent Optimists everywhere. It's for anyone who is tired of the same old and who want to get the latest cutting edge o ...

- Transformation - The Myth Of Prolonged Effort
By: Melani Ward | - We are surrounded by seekers. All around us there are people "on the path", on their way, seeking something, enlightenment, anything. They see a movie, read a passage in the Bible, hear someone speak, visit a slaughterhouse, read a profound text or experience an "a ha" moment and the road to enlightenment begins.
There are gurus and vendors and wares on the path that promise enlightenment someday. Someday when you have studied enough, read enough, listened enough, experienced en ...

- Tearing Down The Fences Of Our Mind
By: Norma Hickox | - The true fourth dimension is like a "halo" around the planet for all to aspire to. This would be to reach the purity and cleanliness, mentally, of fourth dimensional thinking processes. People must synthesize their lower nature with their higher divine self before they can enter the fourth dimension because none of the lower nature traits and attitudes will be allowed in this fourth dimension. This will mean breaking old patterns and replacing them with new, a tremendously difficult thing to acc ...

- Who Would The Innocents Choose - Blago, Bush Or Obama
By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Barack Obama will finish his term of office in only four years if he is re-elected he will have four more years. No child born here in the U.S. or abroad will reach voting age before he finishes his term of office. Those aborted will never so much as hear who is running for office. The pro-choice voters of America male or female can vote now and since the repeal of Bushs ban that constituency has been well played, prepped and pandered to for Obamas second term.

- Finding Your Spiritual Core
By: Prema Baba Swamiji | - I came to a place in my lifetime of searching for God, when I had been just been initiated in the Ancient Order of Swamis by the Maha-Avatar Babaji in 1997. I was sitting on a concrete slab in the entryway of a small temple compound in Southern India.
I was looking out over the countryside when suddenly I reached the space that was at once new and yet strangely familiar. I felt as if I was sitting behind or before an artistic scene, as if the artist with his brush had just finishe ...

- Enlightenment Through Disaster: Water Removal & Consciousness
By: Chris Blastoyout | - Speed. Stamina. Perseverance. Patience. Leadership. Spirit. These are the key ingredients in winning a super bowl. They are also the exact same ingredients in making it through a flood in your home. Walking into or waking up to a flood is a devastating moment. After that moment of absolute terror subsides, you realize that you need to focus on water removal - and fast. This is where a sense of Zen kicks in. It is a moment of oneness, where you become totally focused on the task at hand. Water re ...

- The Importance Of Being You
By: R.I.Chalmers | - Like a lot of people in our materialistic society, I used to identify myself by what I had. That is to say that I believed that who I was was determined by my possessions. I used to subscribe to the myth now prevalent that having "stuff" was the route to happiness.
Paradoxically, the more I possessed, the less content I found myself. In 2003 I began to ask myself why this was.
After my marriage of 20 years became untenable and we divorced, I found myself in an entir ...

- Meditation And Enlightenment: How To Discover Who You Truly Are!
By: Tenzin Palmo | - Some believe that religion is all hokey. Some do not join a religion because they do not want to be told what they can and cannot do, while others do not believe that there is truly some divine being up there pulling all the strings. Buddhism is neither of these. Buddhism is a guidebook to life. You do not have to follow the rules, but if you do, you will find yourself understanding who you truly are, which means you can attain true enlightenment.

- Effortless Meditation
By: Eric Putkonen | - After meditating for many years, through many forms of meditation, I prefer a most basic and simple meditation. A meditation that requires no effort. A meditation that is not a doing. It is simply sitting...aware.
In its simplicity is something very powerful, because when we sit down to meditate, often we feel we should be doing something. Instead, for a period of time, we are to do nothing at all. If we find we are trying to control or manipulate our breathing, thoughts, etc., w ...

- The Journey From Head To Heart
By: Jan Engels Smith | - A sculptor was once asked how he created such marvelous results from the stone he worked. He replied, "If I want to carve an elephant in stone, I simply chip away all of the stone that does not look like an elephant."
The artist's creative process involved finding the inherent qualities of the stone and revealing them to the eye. The challenge is to find the truth within the medium.
The sculptor's statement is relevant to the process of self-realization as well. In ...

- Have You Been Bamboozled By The Mind?
By: Elysha | - Being up against who you think you are is quite a formidable task. It is not a lightweight something to deal with. It is definitely in the heavyweight class of knock out material.
Realizing this you of you - which will free you up from being lost in the machinations of who you think you are - is life transforming, mind transcending and it is immediate.
This immediacy aspect of it is so misunderstood and misinformed it has to be for you to be able to contin ...

- Enlightenment Technology
By: Suzanna Kennedy | - Human spiritual enlightenment occurs when your consciousness permanently expands beyond the limits of your body and your minds self-created identity. The energetic membranes between the subconscious, conscious and superconscious levels of the mind dissolve. As an enlightened human, you take 100% responsibility for co-creating your personal experience of reality. And you have zero judgment about what others are co-creating.
Your True Self, a.k.a. Spirit, is pure consciousness an ...

- The Company Of One Who Is Already Deeply At Rest In And As This You"' Of You By Elysha
By: Elysha | - How will you transcend and outgrow the imprisonment of being lost in the attempt of unconsciously trying to be who you think you are with your daily round of inattention?
By tendency and tendency is what you are up to you will carry on from the same place that you believe yourself to be, which of course, means that you will try and do things from this place where you are already imprisoned in. Obviously, such a movement will not work for you; it cannot work, not ever.

- The Oneness Blessing (part Two)
By: Roy E. Klienwachter | - Two weeks ago I wrote my first article on the "Oneness Blessing" or Deeksha, and I said I would keep you up-to-date on my own experiences with it.
Last week I invited my sister to attend a Deeksha and we made arrangements to receive it from a local couple, Angela and Shane Cottreau.
My sister is a Reiki master so I was looking for an objective opinion as well as an opportunity to compare notes. I believe that we should be able to see definable physical results from the bless ...

I received a book by author Arjuna Ardagh, in the mail a couple of weeks ago from the Oneness University called Awakening into Oneness, published by Sounds True. I am just over 200 books behind reading in my library, and because I have an arrangement with Sounds True to review their books-I started reading it immediately.

- Cnn's Lou Dobbs - The Minister Of 'propaganda And Enlightenment' - [part 1 Of 2]
By: James Opiko | - Before we proceed further we need to define the word: "Propaganda."
According to http://WikiPedia.com -- Propaganda is a type of message aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of people. Often, instead of impartially providing information, propaganda can be deliberately misleading, or use fallacies, which, while sometimes convincing, are not necessarily valid.
Propaganda techniques include -- patriotic flag-waving, glittering generalities, intentional vaguene ...

- Hinduism- The Basic Ideas
By: CD Mohatta | - Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world. Mahabharata was written more than 5000 years back. The Hindus call God as Brahman. Brahman is our soul. Brahman makes the whole world. There is nothing but Brahman in the world according to Hinduism. We do not see our true nature because of Maya. The goal is to break the curtain of Maya and see the self. Guru helps in doing that.
The foundation of Hinduism is non-dualism. God is same as we are. God shows himself as this world. ...

- What Is Enlightenment
By: Chuck Bluestein | - Andrew Cohen has a magazine with this title. He claimed that he was enlightened but said that he had doubts about it all the time. So his definition of it included having doubts about himself. I am certain that I am not enlightened and have no doubts about it. But I am also certain about what enlightenment is. It is available to practically every person, but it is optional. This article could also be called East Meets West.
In psychology, they have the flow experience. There are ...

By: Bruce Boyd | - Enlightenment: like falling off a log?
I believe that being enlightened is a very easy state to be in. Certainly being dysfunctional is far more difficult, exhausting in fact. If you take a good look at the average American city-dweller, you generally see the face of total exhaustion regardless of the time of day or day of the week. What is it they are trying to do that is so tiring?
Now on the other hand, from I have experienced of the so-called higher states of ...

- Will You Give Up Your Beliefs For Spiritual Enlightenment?
By: Elysha | - If you are not actually interested in losing what you believe yourself to be because of your hoping to gain something called "enlightenment" to add to the repertoire of your belief, you will be able to continue pretending to be what is not actually true of you while thinking that you are on the road to finding your self.
Why not?
It is as good a choice as any that you can make while having no idea of who you are already. "Spiritual seekers" and the "western male min ...

- Chopping Wood And Carrying Water
By: Roy E. Klienwachter | - Humanity takes itself much too seriously and every experience does not have to be a life and death situation.
Before the industrial revolution came along, humanity was involved with living. Half the world's population produced all the food that would supply the other half. Rural residents produced their own food and in doing so they maintained their connection with the earth.
When I was growing up, we always had a garden. Everyone had fruits trees of some kin ...

Spiritual enlightenment is the basic goal of any spiritual practice that you undertake.

By: Chris Le Roy | - The world is made up simply of energy. That is right what causes the beats in our heart, what makes our minds work, what gives us those feelings is simply energy. Buddha talks about enlightenment and Buddhist Monks will spend this and the next life time learning how to become enlightened or more importantly how to ascend our spiritual body into the next.
