- Dangers And Mysteries Of The East
By: dr | - The East has forever been a region of mystery so to speak, particularly for the western man. Stories about Eastern countries forever tend to have an air of mysticism. In movies, the wise man of the story is almost forever of oriental origin and forever speaks in riddles. As a matter of fact, had Yoda been human, he would most absolutely have been oriental.
Where do these stereotypes initiate from? A grouping of things, most probably. First of all oriental people tend to look more st ...

- Living Longer, Living Stronger: The Yoga Headstand
By: Jimmy Cox | - In yoga, do only what seems feasible to you. Regularity and a proper approach are more important than feats of prowess. In fact the latter aren't considered in the least desirable as part of yoga. As recently as the turn of the century occidental medical science shrugged off asanas as so much mysticism. However, many asanas, including the yoga headstand, is now seen to provide many benefits.
Sirshasana, or the headstand, is traditionally associated with yoga and second only to the ...

- Is Theta Healing Effective?
By: Alice Paul | - The east has always been associated with mysticism and alternative medicine. However, recent interest in alternative medicine has caused many westerners to slowly open up to it. One popular form of holistic, or alternative, healing is the Theta Healing.

By: Vikram Kumar | - Across the Greek Mainland is Turkey, one of the world's ancient countries. It is the best place to be when you want the best of two different cultures, eastern mysticism, and western capitalism. Although Turkey straddles between two opposite worlds, it clearly defines and reinforces its culture and tradition, thus earning the sobriquet One of the Exotic Places in the World.

- Crystal Healing Is Growing In Popularity
By: Susan Atkinson. | - At its core, crystal healing is a form of mysticism, witchcraft, and occult practices. Most crystal healing is guided to the healer by Spirit - who will tell the healer which crystals will be most effective and the patterns the crystals should be placed on or around the person's body. The length of time used with the crystals will vary with each patient and healer.
Crystal healing is satisfying for many people as they can participant either actively or in a passive manner - whatev ...

- Blavatsky"€™s Message And Teaching
By: Dr. Edi Bilimoria | - Helena Petrovna Blavatskys (HPB) task was to act as a messenger to bring the knowledge that there is a Divine Wisdom Theo-sophia as the root and basis upon which all philosophies, sciences and religions are founded and which guides the cosmos, nature and human life.
This Divine Wisdom is variously known as the Ancient Wisdom, or Wisdom-Religion, or Esoteric Philosophy, or Perennial Philosophy, or Occult Science. All these terms allude to the fact that Theo-sophia is not a ...

- How Science And Occult Science Work
By: Dr. Edi Bilimoria | - The Inductive Method of Science
Science adopts the Aristotelian, inductive method to move from the particular to the general, rather like assembling individual pieces of a jigsaw puzzle: discrete observational data are collected and gradually fitted into a general picture, the latter being a mental representational model of the physical effects observed. The mind process is predominantly intellectual, applied in a linear mode. The instruments of investigation are limited to, and ...

- The Peaceful Warrior
By: Char Cooper RN, MSN, APRN | - The previews ended and the movie was starting, or was it? Black screen and no sound. It took me awhile to realize, but I believe the director was trying to get the audience to be present. I of course was in the future, "When's something going to happen?" Being in the moment is one of many enlightened messages in the movie, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. It was one the first books on spiritual growth that really made a difference in my life.

By: ross heaven | - Dr Mark Atkinson provides the introduction to my book, The Spiritual Practices of the Ninja: Mastering the Four Gates to Freedom.
Do you really want to be free and happy - or are you addicted to your sorrow? A lot of people are addicted and they either don't know it or don't know what to do about it.

- Rumi And Shams: The Way Of The Lover
By: ross heaven | - Jalaluddin Rumi, the great Sufi mystic and love poet, was born 800 years ago, in the city of Balkh (now in Afghanistan), Eastern Persia, to surroundings of wealth and power. His well-to-do family, relatives to the king of Khorasan, were scholars, theologians, and statesmen, and it seemed clear that Rumi would follow them into a profession befitting a member of the elite.
Rumi, however, was something of a rebel, more motivated by freedom and the quest for love and truth, than by s ...

- Till Gerhard Selected Artwork And Paintings
By: Saatchi-Gallery | - Till Gerhard's romantic paintings emanate eerie undertones of spiritual isolation, sectarianism and insinuated depravity, unnervingly referenced through popular culture and current events. Reinventing the genre of sublime landscape as contemporary parable, Till Gerhard's epic scenes of rural community are painted with supernatural intensity, alluding to a disquietly sinister corruption of Utopia. Rendered with the placid realism of religious illustrations, Till Gerhard's large-sca ...

- The Metaphysical View Of Death And Life After Death Part 11
By: Luxamore | - To conclude this section may we just add that Newton's subjects emphasize strongly that God is never once seen in the higher realms, although a strong feeling of a Supreme Power is felt ruling the ongoings of devachan, or "heaven," and the kinetic motion of magnetic streams of energy flowing in the atmosphere and environment. This truth denounces certain religious beliefs that in heaven one would finally see God face to face--for while on earth one may not see God's face and live, one would sure ...

- Mystery Of The Soul Part 5
By: Luxamore | - Basically, Baby, Infant and Young souls do not have as yet coordinated personalities and their souls are often governed by the lower instincts and impulses of their personality. Mature and Old souls are more in control and their personalities are integrated and functioning under the direction of the Higher Self, the Soul. At each stage and level the soul's consciousness level expands. It becomes more spiritually aware. Almost all prophets were Old souls. They gave teachings to the younger ones t ...

By: Luxamore | - AGE OF THE SOUL
Although generally speaking, spirit essence is ageless and eternal, it is possible to classify souls in terms of its evolutionary unfoldment or development. Here we do not speak of the origin of the soul, for from a certain occult point of view, not all human souls originated at the same "time" or from the same imaginary point in space. According to this viewpoint, not all humans are of the same spiritual race. Our many racial conflicts have its source in the very ...

By: Luxamore | - In general, the various branches of parapsychological study related to the soul are Near-Death Experience (NDE); Out-of-the-Body Experience (OBE); Biomagnetic Radiation/Field (aura); Hauntings; Posessions; Bilocation; Past-Life Regression, and ESP.
Many instruments and methods are used in the investigation of psychic phenomena. Hypnosis is often used to uncover subconscious knowledge on a subject. Such a method has been successful in regressing a person to a past life and even bet ...

- Man, The Microcosm; Part 4
By: Luxamore | - The Principle Nadis & Kundalini
The etheric body, according to Hindu mystics, is said to be composed of 72,000 nadis, or subtle nerves. This figure as the actual number is questionable; it is more likely to be symbolic and should not be taken literally. Sushumna, Ida and Pingala are the major nerves of this vital body. Sushumna is the etheric counterpart of the cord of the central nervous system in the spinal column. Ida and Pingala correspond to the two branches of the autonomic ...

- The Secret Is No Secret: It's Just Kabbalah
By: Nina Amir | - When I watched the DVD of the bestselling book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, I had to smile. Not because I thought the principles taught were funny, but because I had known about them for years. Not only that, they come right out of the Jewish mystical tradition called Kabbalah - although people rarely talk about this fact. The people featured on the The Secret discuss how to manifest what we want and how to create what we desire, by combining thought and feeling. They don't talk too much abou ...

By: Luxamore | - All religions without exception have their roots in the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood (GWB), although some have strayed afar from the original teachings of their messengers and founders and the purposes of their establishment. Fortunately, in every religion there is an esoteric side perpetuated by the Initiates of the GWB. We will not discuss the Great White Brotherhood in detail here, those who are interested in acquiring more information may refer to the many metaphysical ...

According to its votaries, the hand of the crucified Jesus is believed to possess occult virtues. When worn as an amulet it is said to be an all-round good-luck charm. Prayers are said in conjunction with its presence on one's person. One prayer associated with this particular amulet is as follows:

- Glimpses Of Esoteric Christianity Part 5
By: Luxamore | - The comprehension of Karma as revealed to the masses by Jesus is an improvement of the old interpretation and understanding of the principle of a previous dispensation of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," as given to the Israelites by Moses. To illustrate this, the law does not cause blindness as a punishment to an individual if he had blinded someone in the past. It does, however, make him aware, in some manner, of the wrongness of his actions--even if it does take blinding him if other ...

- Glimpses Of Esoteric Christianity Part 1
By: Luxamore | - Esotericism
There is more to Truth and Reality than what elementary minds would want to pursue and consider. It often seems more comfortable to sit in the dark where we see nothing than to face the blinding light. Is the blindness the same in both cases? The former is blissful ignorance, the latter an initial shock--but one that eventually offers solace to the soul. It is the courageous individual that seeks Truth no matter how painful or shocking it may be. In this paper we do no ...

- The Awareness Of Metaphysical Laws And Principles Part 5
By: Luxamore | - DISCUSSIONS
Humanity as a whole is experiencing a cosmic slumber in which the Real is forsaken and the dream of Maya, of illusions, delusions and glamors perpetuated. In this prolonged dream human beings suffer, they experience pain and disease, they grow old, decay, and eventually pass through transition--a meaningless life if viewed from a materialistic perspective. Even the lighter side of this dream with its varied pleasures is incapable of consoling the weary soul who has tas ...

- The Awareness Of Metaphysical Laws And Principles Part 2
By: Luxamore | - Awareness of Self
Most people identify the lower components of their microcosmic being as the Self. This is a misconception that results in suffering and pain in everyday experiences. It also prolongs soul-bondage to matter, to Maya, to the wheel of birth and rebirth. Buddhism, for example, teaches that there is no self in that which is ephemeral, and although exoterically, they deny the existence of a self within man, teachers of Vajrayana Buddhism do assert the existence of what ...

By: Luxamore | - Basically, arrogance is an inferior attitude masking as superiority. Inferiority or superiority complexes are both egoic expressions. The human ego often wishes the Self to appear what it is not. Even if we knew a lot, if we have read a thousand books, studied under countless Gurus, have permanent contact with a Cosmic Master, experienced a 1001 delights and terrors, meditate constantly, possess the world, or are powerful in some psychic way, it still does not give us a reason to egoically compa ...

By: Luxamore | - What is metaphysics, and why should we bother studying it? What benefits does it have for humanity? What is its purpose? How will its teachings help advance society? How will it assist our civilization and culture to progress? How will our lives be re-created individually and collectively with the application of metaphysical principles? Questions abound concerning metaphysics, for people intuitively feel that it may have something precious to offer in terms of facilitating personal growth and se ...

No longer do I have to present what I AM not to others, for I know what I AM.

Wise men see divinity in every face when, Fools see demons in every one.

- Divine Thinking And Personal Reality, Part 2
By: Luxamore | - Knowing one's true SELF
We often identify ourselves with our physical body, with our emotions, and with our mind. These three principles represent our personality. We are often led to believe that the personality is the Self, whereas it is simply a persona, a mask that the Soul wears that it may function in the lower dimensions. The personality is mortal and subject to change. It is not the permanent part of our being. Should we identify with the personality we assume the characte ...

- Divine Thinking And Personal Reality Part 1
By: Luxamore | - In metaphysics we are taught that the mind plays an important role in determining one's reality. The combination of all our belief structures, attitudes, expectations, hopes, feelings, and subconscious imprints build up the "reality" that we experience. This reality is substantially our mental perception and interpretation of the varying impressions that our senses accumulate, and this resultant reality differ from person to person. No two individuals perceive or interpret the world exactly alik ...
