ABSTRACT:
Memory is key to our conscious development. Relationships between people and objects form into living narratives from our actions and imagination, as the mind rapidly compares memory with new experiences through the five physical senses streaming into an ever-present moment before our eyes. After-death memory works in exact same way, ensuring order in our living physical world narrative and the eternal realm beyond. Better understanding of the process will ensure direction…

ABSTRACT:
Born into the world, early life memories are not retained, and a living area of the familiar present becomes framed within a narrative of non-existence on both sides of us, from before birth until at death. We struggle to develop and maintain an identity and purpose that ends in death. Inner knowledge hidden from the world transcends these limitations, showing us a greater identity that has logic and purpose.
Finding an identity
Identity…

ABSTRACT:
Looking out through our eyes we see a three-dimensional spatial world. As physical human beings we are embedded within and are a part of this world, but the “us” who is observing is a mere onlooker manipulating the world with a physical human body. To recognize this “us” is self-awareness.
All is Awareness
Awareness is the foundation of this world and all worlds, from physical to the highest of spiritual states. Nothing exists but…

ABSTRACT:
Enlightenment is the acquiring of a state of mind where the present is experienced blissfully and never-ending. Usually viewed as a utopian idea beyond the reach of the average man, learned masters of the East say enlightenment can be obtained during this lifetime for those determined and dedicated to the effort.

ABSTRACT:
There are some among us who say they are psychics. What does it mean to be a psychic? Are we or can we become psychic?
Consciousness not Matter is the Foundation of Our World

ABSTRACT:
In this time of the Coronavirus pandemic, spiritual knowledge is critical for coming to understand and heal body and mind. It is critical now for Science to seriously look at presently taboo metaphysical sources and more thoroughly comprehend the nature of infectious disease, how it actually spreads, and why it enters the mainstream reality.…

ABSTRACT:
Contemporary historians cannot look beyond the physical world for historical information, yet written records can be unreliable, as myths are spun from events as they happen. Those of us having a spiritual focus harbor no such limitations. We are free to gather information from within. Yet the trustworthiness of our sources are critical. Such otherworldly contacts recently entered my forefront, and I’m delighted to relay what I am learning to…

ABSTRACT:
The Apostle Paul taught the gentle Jesus Message of love and forgiveness, yet his central message was of Salvation through the Cross, a message not given by Jesus. Paul suffered and endured, and he converted many pagans to the new faith. It is paramount that we today come to terms with a truer salvation message and discard the outdated need for a suffering Master.
Salvation Through a Belief is…

ABSTRACT:
Birth and death are mere doors we walk through, shedding memory of a past life and gaining new memories of a life to be. We shed and gain memories quite automatically while alive in this world now. This moment and death are much alike in this respect, only the degree of which shows notable difference. Understanding this, there is little reason for fearing death.
Birth and Death a Continuing…

ABSTRACT:
Thoughts, not fate, lead us to where we are now and determine our future. Basic to metaphysics, mind is the foundation of everything. Our physical world fueled by underlying dreams and imaginations is manifested by thought, individually and collectively. By recognizing our thoughts as they arise we can more clearly chart the reality we desire.
Waking Reality & Dreams are…

Abstract—Upon waiting 2000 years for Apostle Paul’s promise of Jesus’ impending return, it is time to consider other possibilities. The problem for all religions and disciplines is not obtaining eternal life, but rather of accepting and coming to terms with the notion of living in an eternity. We’ve been given the tools; we must learn to use them.
A Promise that Never Came
The Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Thessalonians: Jesus…

ABSTRACT
A two-thousand-year-old belief in the Christian Bible being the “inerrant word of God” has been shaken by modern thinking and scholarly scrutiny. Yet a sizable number of Christians refuse to be swayed by the overwhelming contrary evidence. An understanding of the true nature of our reality reveals a greater “logic-based” explanation for the simplistic “faith-based” pronouncement.
Christian Bible the West’s Historical…

ABSTRACT:
We are advanced entities already and can realize our higher natures while performing the simple ordinary tasks our daily routines require. We need not spend time meditating for long hours, we can accomplish a same result at work, at home, anywhere, when we learn to discipline ourselves. Results, although perhaps many years ahead, will…

ABSTRACT:
Famed psychoanalyst Carl Jung contributions bridged the wide divide between religion of antiquity and the modern world in his day. Those same ideas remain paramount today and can help us to understand a world that seems out of control. Jung’s associate Eleanor Bertine delivers Jung’s message plainly for our time.

ABSTRACT
A new generation of scholars disbelieve the traditional biblical stories, saying they are neither historically sound nor factually believable. Engaging in debates with traditional theologians, each of them have some element to offer. Yet none will see the bigger picture until a metaphysical understanding is applied.
A New Generation of Biblical Skeptics
A growing cadre of religious scholars are taking traditional…

We Create Our Present Experience
The outer world materializes from within us. At break of day, before we rise from bed, we mentally consider the things we will be doing for the day, and sometimes ahead, to the next week or year, or even our lifetime. We consciously guide and steer our ideas.
Unknowing or knowingly, we connect with others, in this mental environment, planning our destinies within the framework of possibilities and limitations of a group mind. If the group…

Abstract:
A heated exchange between a Western Theravada Buddhist nun and lay devotees returning from violence in Myanmar touches on the difficult issue of nonviolence and justifiable self-defense. It addresses the Jesus message to love your neighbor and to turn the other cheek, and the seeming more realistic Catholic doctrine of justifiable force in a “Just War”. Nonviolence has been used in the civil rights movement by Martin Luther King in America and by Mahatma Gandhi in India’s…

Abstract::
In Buddhism, meditation can be practiced sitting on the cushion or chair and in any other daily activity throughout the day. When sitting, the breathing method is commonly used by beginners and for calming the mind before continuing with more advanced methods. Two advanced Mahayana Buddhist methods are the “hua tou” (word head), the student continually repeating a critical question to eventually skillfully penetrate to the state of mind before the formation of words and…
