When we hear the word karma, we often hear it in the context of having done something “bad” and its consequence of justice served, well-deserved. This is a rather small vision of what karma actually is.

A clearer short explanation is that the word karma in Sanskrit principally means action…and as we know, because we dont live in a vacuum, every action has its resulting reaction hence creating a circle of cause and effect. And this can be both positive and negative alike. It is because of this never-ending cycle of the ups and downs of pain and happiness, that the sages and mystics have looked for the

HJ: Relationships are created and maintained through shared values and worldview.  When you shifts those things, people who don’t shift with you will typically fall away.  This is totally normal and natural but the unenlightened parties can sometimes make things difficult (as can the enlightened parties as well… but usually it is the other way around).  It’s easy enough to deal with when it happens between you and an acquaintance, but when it happens between close friends, family members or lovers, things can get a bit tricky…

In another well written and insightful article by the always venerable Steve Pavlina, he gives insight into the situation and some wise ways to handle it with grace and compassion.

The Evil Exit

Do you really see the world around you?  For today, open your eyes, my love!  See everything as The Universe sees it.  The mundane, what you consider ‘ugly’, the beauty in everyday things, the sad and joyous moments, and the love in all thing are my gifts to you.  Notice!  Once you do, you will never unsee it again. ~ Creator

The flow is surrendered movement, following the path of ease from each Now moment. It is that simple formula that creates the deep satisfaction and peace you are all seeking. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that. ~Archangel Gabriel

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the primary type of fat found within coconut oil, have been found to boost cognitive performance in older adults suffering from memory disorders as serious as Alzheimer’s — and not after months or even days of treatment, but after a single 40 ml dose!

A groundbreaking 2004 study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging found that the administration of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), the primary fat type fou...

My most passionate plea is for you to wake up to your true self as pure awareness. We have all heard it said that you are not a human being having a spiritual experience, but instead, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Yet you are not a being of any kind, spiritual or physical. You are pure awareness! And most importantly, your awareness is the One Awareness – the Divine Awareness – and as such, it is the only reality that was not created. This Divine Awareness is the source of all of creation and it is the only witness to it. This is your true fundamental self and this Source-Awareness is looking out of your own eyes right now!

That’s quite a bit to start with so let’s ba...

The theory that we plan our lives was something I had never heard of before 2011. Up until that point, I could not have even imagined such a thing. Even after hearing about it 3 years ago, it took me quite a long time to let this concept into my paradigm. How I stumbled upon it wasn’t even through my avid research of the afterlife and reincarnation. It came to me through a vision I had. Before the vision, I believed in reincarnation. The idea of it had always fascinated me and I felt strongly that I did have past lives; I just didn’t know what those lives entailed. After three years of in...

As a human being in the world, refrain from asking yourself every day: “Am I happy today? How happy am I today? How unhappy am I today?” Asking yourself for a report card of your happiness is an invitation to unhappiness.
 
Go about your work and your life and take happiness as your due. Your happiness is not in question unless you debate it.
 
You do not wake up every morning and ask yourself if you are alive. It is a good assumption that you are alive.
 
Hopefully, you do not wake up every morning and ask: “Am I in good health this morning? Do I have a headache? Do I have a temperature? Do I look pale?”
 
Nor is it worthwhile to ask: “What misgivings do I have today? What are my lacks? What am I missing? Of what life has to offer, what am I missing?”
 
The fault lies in your questions, beloveds, not the stars. You ask leading questions. You make a suggestion that may well disrupt you from the path of happiness, good health, well-being, and so on.
 
Would you wake yourself up in the morning to the tune of such questions as: “Will I be arrested today? Will I be run over by a car? Will my car run off the road?” Your questions may steer you down a winding road.
 

HJ: Thoughts are merely symptoms of more deeply held beliefs.  But thoughts can also be used to discover your beliefs.  By simply noticing your negative thoughts as they arise and then simply asking yourself “What must I believe is true in order to be having this thought?”, you can quickly trace it back to the belief from which it originated.  Then, becoming aware of this belief essentially causes it to lose its power over you.

Now, if you are having trouble finding the belief or you need a quick solution in the moment, the techniques below, particularly number 5, are profound ways to help you get through the moment.
