  Yes, I added a warning.  I do not wish to offend.  I do not intend to, and I endeavour not to.  But I have noticed that some people can be particularly offended by ideas they disagree with.  So, be warned.  You might disagree with a lot of what is written here. Now that that is over, let’s get on with my intro. It’s been a while.   I can see my last Spiritually inspired post was 5 years ago.   Wow! doesn’t time fly when one is being introspective! It has been a very interesting time.   So, the blog is now being updated.   It will be, as always, offering reflections and hopefully be as objective as I intend it to be. I will also start discussing some new philosophical concepts about the Universe and Spirituality.   New tags: ð   Post-Spiritual(ism) .   My beliefs are still spiritual.   My perspective is post-Spiritual.   So, the tag post-Spiritual(ism) refers specifically to Philosophical discussion...

  I love being Spiritual.   The responsibilities are simple.   Be nice to everything and everyone.   Nothing complicated.   The joys are quite great too.   The feelings of peace, love, and joy experienced while communing with nature, or connecting to the Universe in some way is simply exhilarating. Yet, I am not one for blind faith.   I am not necessarily a sceptic.   I believe that everything is possible.   However, I also like to know how things work.   It’s the way my brain is wired.   Since I was a little child.   When I received a new present, be it a car or a nicely bound book, my one and only question was always: “How does it work?”   I took everything apart trying to understand how it worked.   Always getting into a lot of trouble for it.   Nonetheless I did.   I can’t help it.   It’s in my nature. So, when someone says: “You have to raise your vibration”, I take it at face value. ...

These are exciting times to be alive in this World. A new wave of awareness is sweeping through the human race, and many, many people are attempting to manifest a new way to be true to themselves, and a new reality that is more relevant to their new-found balance with their Soul. Much has been written about how to do this, and “manifesting” is a truly hot topic with many inspirational writers rushing to give their opinion, slant, and perspective on the subject. I have been thinking about writing my own angle on this, instead I found the most eloquent and explicative explanation in the book “ The Science of Being Great ”, written more than 100 years ago by Wallace D. Wattles , and I am providing below an extract of “Chapter 21: A Mental Exercise”, which speaks for itself. I strongly recommend reading the whole book, which is freely available in many formats, including as an audiobook , on the internet. I would also suggest to read the whole “The Science of” trilogy, and his other w...

Imagine a world where every time we have a problem, or are going through a rough time, instead of being isolated, we would have people surrounding us knowing exactly what is going to make us feel better. Imagine when we go through a good time, or good fortune, and those around us would not be jealous, but would be genuinely happy for us. Imagine a place that wherever you go, people only give Love, Peace, and Joy. What a wonderful life would that be! It is the role of the Empath to give Empathy and Love to those who need it. It is the duty of the Empath to learn and educate others, just in the same way as the loving mentor educated the child in the example given in the previous post . This will make the world just described a reality. And here are the 6 habits that make a Happy Empath, who can live normally, socialize, and get out of the house: 1.       Time-out is OK! I don’t personally believe that shutting off is a permanent solution. As s...

No one is born an empath. We learn Empathy through personal experiences. We can see this in children. A child whose ice cream melted and fell on the ground will empathise with another child who has the same experience. A child who received an unwanted gift at Christmas, will empathise with someone else in a similar situation. A child who has been bullied, will be able to empathise with a child who is going through the same experience. In fact, we do recognise that children are not naturally empathic, and good mentors will always assist the child in learning one or more lessons from each experience, so that they can empathise with others when appropriate. For example, if the child plays a competitive game, and their team loses the match and their friend on the opposing team taunts them, an attentive advisor (whether parent, family, family friend, teacher, or whatever else) will not only make the child feel better by way of encouragement, but will also help the child reflect on ...

Raised by a devout Catholic family, it wasn’t long before I questioned Christian Teachings, and Catholic attitudes. I was always surprised at the violence, intolerance, and vengefulness of the god of the old testament. When compared to the teachings of Love, Peace, Tolerance, and Charity of Jesus Christ, I could only arrive to the conclusion that the Old Testament is based on the word of a different god. While the attitude of the Old Testament resonated with my testosterone induced, primordially guided, teenage mentality, the message of Jesus resonated on a much deeper level. My heart and soul approved and felt at peace with this latter message. When considering this, and taking into account the warning against false prophets, and wolves in sheep clothing, it was a simple process of reasoning that lead me to believe that the different god of the Old Testament was a false god. Maybe the Anunnaki really did exist. Maybe especially powerful being not of this world who claimed to be ...

"Firstly, we would like to wish you a Happy and Joyous Easter. We are particularly close to you on this very meaningful and important day.  Many may argue that there is evidence that Jesus was not crucified, and that he was not the Son of God that many claim Him to be. Many other may protest that there is even little evidence that he existed at all. And many more may present many and varied proposition that Christianity is based on erroneous and invalid principles. As always, life in the incarnate world can be so complicated when reason prevails over intuition, when the written word gains more importance than the thoughts that are divulged by the Divine Creator, and when the limited scientific knowledge of even the present generation is allowed to determine what is true. All those complaints are irrelevant. The meaning of Easter is not related to the crucifixion, or to the foundation of the Christian faith, no matter of which denomination. The message of Easter is ...

I was recently asked this question, which made me think quite deeply. Firstly, I should probably to mention semantics … Trap is a negative term, and I would prefer to call them challenges and stepping stones.  Even if we look at a stepping stone, if the stone is taller than half the length of one’s leg, it already becomes a challenge.  If it is taller than oneself, the trial is even greater. Something else worth mentioning, is that there are degrees of spirituality.  Not everybody needs to be a monk! The degree of spirituality we aim for depends on what is the next step we want to take in our Eternal life once we move to the next plane of existence.  The higher the degree of spirituality, the higher the next plane of existence (where higher is in relation to the ethereality of the world of our choice.  It is by no means a physical height as we interpret it in our human existence.  To explain this concept in details would take quite some ti...

In this post, I am going to share something very personal.  I do not exactly know why, a little voice in my head is telling me to share this information.  Maybe it is because I need some self-healing.  Maybe it is because I would like other people to become more sensitive.  Maybe it is because I would like to raise people’s awareness about the pain the in world. It does not matter why, in complete honesty, you the reader make of it what you will. Those who know me see me as a big, strong, butch man.  Yet, I have a very sensitive soul.  My eyes will swell with tears at the sight of suffering, as much as they will at the sight of an act of kindness.  I am quite proud of this sensitivity of mine, as it is an indication of a strong and mature soul that is willing to live through whatever happens in my life, as well as the lives of other people.  I drink a lot of water, so I am never dehydrated, and I can keep the waterworks functionin...

Ego is the cause of the de-evolution of human consciousness, and it kills (in many ways) the person that places importance on it. To understand the idea, we need to look at the universe (and by universe I mean the entirety of creation, the multi-verses, the energies, the entities, and everything comprised in it), as one single body. If we look at it this way, it is then quite easy to view ourselves as individual cells in this single entity. Now, let's compare this to the human body, and the life-cycle of a cells in it.  Every cell starts as a stem cell (similarly to how each living thing is born from the Source).  A cell is than assigned a role that depends exclusively on the need of the whole.  Some cells will become bone, some skin, some muscles, and so on. Each cell is unique in its own way, it has a unique identity (it is that one specific cell), it has a group identity (it is bone, skin, muscle, etc.), and it has a collective identity (it is pa...

There are an infinite number of reasons why we may start our day in a bad mood.  At the time of our waking up we spend some time in a slight haze, with our mind floating between a sleep and an awaken state.  Our mind and souls are suspended between two worlds.  The world of dreams (the astral plane), and the universe of our current reality (the physical plane) It is at this time that all kind of thoughts start hitting us, and some may be like a slap in the face.  The demanding boss, the annoying colleague, the kids’ breakfast, traffic on the way to work, and a million other thoughts start orbiting our not yet conscious mind. As we struggle to enjoy the last five more minutes of sleep, these thoughts weigh really heavily, and can make us start the day in the most horrible and unpleasant way. So, here is a little exercise that helps me every morning in waking up vibrating nicely, and with a positive smile on my sleepy face. While you are stil...

As I was reading an interesting, albeit bleak, article the other day about the dark forces trying to take over the world (see The Inter-Dimensional Entities Behind the Dark Agenda That’s Taking Over the http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/12/25/inter-dimensional-entities-behind-dark-agenda-thats-taking-world-2/ ), I thought it is important to touch on the subject on this website, which is primarily concerned with Spiritual development. We cannot fail to notice these dark forces at work in our daily lives. Wars, corruption, abuse, hunger, pain, suffering, and despair are plain for all to see; and we may at times experience the brunt of evil ourselves. This subject was already touched upon in a previous article (see http://www.spiritualsoul.xyz/2015/06/the-struggle-of-spiritual-soul.html ). It is probably a subject worth delving deeper into, but in this specific post, I wanted to mention the effects, and perils, that these dark forces have in their spiritual form, rather than in th...

We are born alone, and we die alone.   How often have heard these words?   And how often have we felt lonely, even in a crowd.   But loneliness is a human condition that has no place in spirit.   For when we are spirit, and our souls shines through, the love that binds us keeps us together, in an eternal unity that joins us to each other, and to the Creator.   Fear not, for you are never alone.

Yesterday I was asked why people would freely decide to be subjugated to a religion. Not only those who grew up within the confines and teachings of any religion, but in particular those who join a religion later in life. Personally, I was raised as a Catholic, but have always shied away from the limitations of religion. Firstly, the concept of a god that would decimated entire cities, require human sacrifices, and expected its faithful subjects to give their virgin daughters to satisfy the primordial needs of their guests, appalled me and insulted my sensitivity and sensibility. Additionally the rituals, concepts such as infallibity, and the obtuse belief in predefined and irrational dogmas, were unquestionably unacceptable. With time, however, I learnt to appreciate that religion gives some comforts. The first is a sense of belonging. The participation in a community that shares values and experiences is a very important aspect in the expectations of the social human bei...

Awaken fully, bravely, and uncompromisingly.  Do not allow the needs of this material world, and ambition, envy and comparison with your fellow man to entrap your soul into the inexorable spiritual stagnation that material concerns often cause.  Challenge your reality, stretch your perception, and endure the consequences of what it is to be different.  Only the singularity afforded by opening your heart and allowing your soul to guide you can ensure that you will not spoil this physical leg of the eternal journey to spiritual awareness.  For the journey is long, and every step of the way we move forward will guarantee the next step to be easier, brighter, and happier.

Think of how deep is the sea.  If you are on a boat, you can only glimpse at the waves, and what is a few feet below. You may see some corals, some fish, and a little life.  But can you say that this is all that there is to the sea?  Only by diving deep we can become aware of its life, its contents, its secrets and everything that lies below. And deeper we dive, the more we find in the great abyss what is still undiscovered.  So is life, and so is the soul.  If we just glance on the surface, we can see very little. We can understand very little. We must questions.  What is there below the surface?  We must explore, unafraid, and uncompromisingly.  The deeper we go, the more we will understand about the reality of life, and the infinite knowledge that is given to an enlightened soul.  The more we explore, the more questions will come to us. The more questions, the more we will need to plunge deeper an...

Eagle Wings, by Lois Ruiz Some may have noticed that there is a new category in this blog, and that there have been some mentions of a certain Eagle Wings. So, I thought I owe our readers some kind of explanation about who Eagle Wings is. To keep it short, Eagle Wings is a Spirit Teacher who has been kindly talking to me, and inspiring many articles that I have written and published on this blog. When he first contacted me, he has shown himself as a very tall Native American who looks like the one in the drawing at the top of this post. However, those who are familiar with Spirit communications probably know that interaction with Spirit is full of symbolism. Also, the way they appear to our physical selves is usually in a way that we can accept and understand. They really do not like to freak us out! Furthermore, as I am being constantly reminded by those Spirits who bless me with their teachings, advice, and wisdom, is that it is not the messenger that is of value but...

Nothing is new.   All life has been here before, and it is back here anew.   All energy has been around for billions of years, and it comes back to fill us and move us and will continue to do so forever.   But nothing new, does not mean old.  The freshness of each experience and of each day creates a unique newness that is sometimes difficult to understand or appreciate.   Be grateful for many before us have felt what we feel, and many before us have shared the same experiences we have.  And yet, in our own eyes and perspective it is new.   Delve deep into the spirit consciousness to gather the strength and be inspired by the answers that lie within to overcome your fears and your insecurities.   For you are not alone.

Nothing disappears.  From matter to matter. From Life to life. From Soul to Eternity, from Deed to Deed.  When we die, our body turns into food for the creatures of this earth, and earth will provide new matter for a new life in the mother’s womb.  When a flower wither, its life will go to another flower to blossom and let us enjoy its beauty.  When we pass away, our soul simply goes to another plane, and then to other planes still, for eternity.    So our actions do not disappear. Whatever good or evil we do, they do not disappear, but become new deeds from someone who has received our own act.  We may forget, our friends may too, but a lasting legacy is left from anything we do. What legacy that is, it is up to us.  Choose wisely.
