Perhaps it will not be out of place to explain here the meaning of the term 'Spirituality', which is often confused with blind faith in sacred books, a display of miracles, psychic phenomena, or Yogic powers. Spirituality is an inner experience and its alphabet begins where all philosophy and yoga practices end. It is the experience of the soul. When one says,"I am the body", it is a feeling based on the intellect and is defined as ignorance. When he says,"I am not the body, I am an awakened sou …

Welcome! We're in such magical times and I'm so excited about the possibilities and potential that awaits us, the earth, humanity! Now is the tijme to clear yourself of lower energies no longer serving you and "baggage" you may not even know you carry around. All the changes are in response to this shift, a calling out from our sun and from the center of this galaxy if not the universe. Fear based thinking is just that. I for one will not utilize my God-given, innate creative faculties (thoughts …

We expand into a larger energetic field that connects us at the heart in ordinary human relationships, where life is lived. Tod …

"A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

I can't get enough of the tarot “treasure house of images”.  I can't help buying books about the tarot.

Peace is something that everyone wants. Though we search for it in things around us, it's within us all the time, and readily available to experience all the time, too.

But peace is what can end wars, by each person first ending their own inner wars. Portland Friends of Peace isn't about ideas, philosophy, religion or spirituality — nor are we against any of these. …
