Soul Journey

A Christian has a Bible as a guidebook to his love life. Nonchristians are not expected to be following it, so you'll have to make with them whatever arrangements work for you. Expect them, however, to respect your limit to hold off on having sex with you until marriage. The King James Version of 1611 was made when marriage was more biblical, although by the same token more old fashioned. Our new and improved English versions were made by translators of our own times and so perhaps less biblical. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I use the KJV. Starting in Genesis, Adam was interested in the woman God had made for him; he saw where she came from and what she was for. Therefore...

Restrictive covenants (also called deed covenants) have been affecting buyers of real estate for as long as property has been transferring ownership. Such covenants are a condition of sale for real property, placed on the buyer by the seller or passed on from previous owners. By purchasing the property, the buyer agrees to abide by these restrictions on the use of the property.Restrictive covenants are especially important to buyers of homes for sale; since they, like zoning laws, restrict how you may use your own property...

When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the mid 1980's as a "diagnosis of exclusion" (see, my illness had been mis-diagnosed for about 25 years prior to this initial "diagnosis") I became VERY angry with God. "Why me", I asked. Why did I have to be the one you inflicted with this terrible disease? Why couldn't you let the Doctors conclusively diagnose the condition? Why did I have to keep pretending that the Doctors were mistaken, just so that I could live my day-to-day life? I was asking the wrong question, you see. Instead of asking "Why me, God?", I should have been asking, "Why NOT me, God?" See, I was trying to become the "before the diagnosis" me, and I just could not do it. So, I went...

First rate art is in danger of being left behind in this new age of the global Internet highway. The World Wide Web is like Walmart or Home Depot coming to town. Art galleries as they now exist, are going to become the Mom and Pop version of selling art.Chances are if you are an established artist, and look for your medium or subject matter on the Web, some very web-savvy artist will show up, sometimes repeatedly on the first two or three pages of a search engine and your name is no where to be found.This can change, but established artists and the galleries that represent them need to start thinking differently about their approach to the Internet. And galleries need to help...

Jake worked as a financial consultant for one of the top 10 stock brokers in the country. This meant waking up early every morning and coming home late at night just to analyze a report before giving a good advice. The work was very challenging and this executive will only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep every night. Since the body needs rest, a friend advised Jake to take a class on stress reduction and relaxation known as Reiki. Reiki is an old Japanese technique that provides spiritual healing. It is done by sitting on one's hands and making the person believe that there is this "life force" which is very similar to "Chi" in Chinese culture that flows throughout the body. Many believe that if this...

While most students want to know when to play certain notes and chords, it's equally important to know when not to play. For example, I had a student who knew how to improvise and play in the New Age style. What he didn't know how to do was to allow for breathing space. I tried to teach him that you don't have to play note upon note but allow for some pauses.Eventually he got it. He learned how not to rush and that the pauses between notes are as important as the notes themselves - especially in the New Age style of piano playing. Listen to pioneer New Age piano player Steven Halpern to get an excellent idea of this. Steven literally defined "breathing space" for music. His music floats in the air...

For many people, the terms "New Age" and "Metaphysical" are perplexing. Indeed, their meanings vary from person to person. Generally speaking, New Age has a connotation of eclectic spirituality, embracing aspects of many ancient traditions and religions as well as modern rituals and beliefs about, for example, the importance of environmental stewardship. People who follow a New Age path may be drawn to its musical, psychological, healing, or scientific aspects, or may simply seek an individual approach to spirituality. If there's someone in your life who embraces the metaphysical, they will be delighted to receive one of any number of New Age gifts. Here, then is a synopsis of some of the...

In order to have your body pain free and to trust the process in getting there, you need to be a certain amount of trust to believe that things will shift inside. Trust heals fear and insecurity. How many times in your life does it feel hard to accept your circumstances, your body, and your life in general? This is where spirituality comes in.

Religion and spirituality are firmly rooted in the minds of the Indian people. Some countries are well known for their political institutions, others for their economic prosperity while some others for their social advancement. India is well known for her philosophy and religion. According to Max Muller the study of religion is...

Some may argue that Chinese poet Li Bai is beyond compare. With words that seem to fall straight from the heavens, he, perhaps like no other poet can make us both feel the earth and touch the sky.Born during China's illustrious Tang Dynasty, Li Bai could in modern day terms be described as an eccentric outcast. A renowned member of the fringe of Chinese society, his poetry would subsequently show that as an extraordinary artist, he lived his life far beyond the range of any ordinary human experience.As a composer of a large body of work that includes contemplations on the nature of human existence, the natural unity of the cosmos and the sheer exaltation of the human spirit his writing, is no doubt...

Two months prior to 2006 Gita Jayanti festival, I requested inmates, who regularly write to me, to write down a few lines about how they received the 1st copy of Bhagavad Gita As It Is and what they learned from the Gita and what are their favorite verses. I have tried to keep the inmates responses as it is in order to keep the originality of the text. The following is a compilation of inmate's quotes: Supreme Knowledge: I got Bhagavad Gita As It is from the Vedic resources. I learned it is Divine instruction for the battlefield of one's life to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead. My favorite verse is in chapter 9, This knowledge of Gita is king of education, the secret of all secrets. It is...

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 self-empowerment. Among those spiritually inclined, it has become a "prime directive" to understanding their lives in terms of metaphysical principles and concepts such as multi-dimensional realities, the...

As I'm talking with you today, I'd like you to relax and consider a radical idea for our times: You know more than you think you know! And, you know more than you're letting on to others. No, I don't mean that you're deliberately concealing your own knowledge, at least not in a purposefully detrimental sense. What I mean is that you, and all of us really, are pretending to not know what our life direction and purpose is. We pretend in order to protect ourselves. Protect ourselves from what, you ask? Good question. The answer is a challenging one, but you did ask. We are protecting ourselves from our own power. That power is intimately linked to the power inherent in The Universe, of Goddess, or God...
