There are moments in everyone’s spiritual journey when we feel stuck. We awaken to universal truths about our existence and then, all of a sudden, it’s like we cannot rise higher.
We become depressed and even bitter as time goes on. We lose that feeling of wonder we walked with. A part of us thinks that we have reached our spiritual limits.
But, of course, that’s just an illusion.
The reason we feel stuck is because we become too attached to a particular ideology and forget fundamental truths.
The solution to becoming unstuck is reminding ourselves of these fundamental spiritual truths.
Instead of retreating back, we need to face these truths head on and break through the spiritual blockage.

We take various decisions in our life depending on the basis of our understanding of circumstances we are in and accordingly set our paths to be followed.
We move on different paths at different times in our life. These may be good or bad, short or lengthy, smooth or rough. But everyone has got his or her own set of paths. Irrespective of that we have to keep moving in life.

Once you learn these 5 brutal truths about life, you’ll be a much better person.
We have all gone through some obstacles at a certain point of our lives in the name of survival. We often tend to deny them as they are difficult to deal with. However, as difficult as they are to bear, it is imperative if we want to live a fulfilling life.

There’s a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
— Eckhart Tolle
There’s a spiritual shift going on, and if you haven’t felt it yet, you most likely will, unless you don’t want to, and if that’s the case, you’re going to notice a lot of interesting changes happening on the planet that will let you know that the shift is occurring.
But, here’s the thing, once you notice these interesting changes, the shift will happen to you too because you’ll suddenly be aware of it, and that’s what it takes — awareness.
You may think you are really busy and that if you slowed down or took a pause of any kind you would be less effective and less powerful in life. Actually, the opposite is true—my life before I committed to a daily meditation practice was nowhere near as intuitive as it is now. Intuition is increased by meditation, and thus we take so many more right turns and this ends up saving us tons of time.
It isn’t hard to recognize that even though we live on a planet that surrounds us with beauty, that there is a lot of darkness happening within humanity. The ancient Sanskrit teachings understood that civilization goes through distinct cycles of creation and destruction. Native traditions have similar stories to describe different ages of humanity as well. It can be easy to lose hope sometimes, but there many possibilities for spiritual growth and awakening during this time. Let’s look at the bigger picture knowing that the warm glow of dawn always follows the coldest, darkest moments of the night.
Religion tends to encourage hierarchy and praise. Christians, for example, look up to priests and they pray to Jesus Christ and God. Now, don’t get me wrong — prayer can be a wonderful tool for further connecting with ourselves, and it can provide us with comfort and guidance. However, seeking answers outside the Self and from an external God is not necessarily empowering yourself.
But one thing you can be absolutely certain of- you will have challenges and problems, no matter what. And when those problems come, you’ll only have two choices in how you react: positively or negatively.
As in Ancient times, we are again in the beginning of a period of radical changes for the Earth and its inhabitants, physically, mentally, and spiritually (the entire threefold nature). Humanity’s selfishness has taken its toll and is starting to come back in full fury. With the damage that has been done already, there is no preventing the great Earth changes within the next decade. Given a sufficient rise in Consciousness, those things that are not past the ‘karmic point of no return’ could be altered by free will, however, many are past the point of no return. Ask yourself if the first drops of rain from this great storm of purification, have not already begun to fall.
“The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the doorway to all moments.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh
Could you agree that in every moment, you are your past, your present and your future self? Let’s explore.
Scientifically speaking, we understand that space and time are relative meaning that they depend solely on the motion of the observer who measures them. From this simple fact and for those of us who believe that our souls are eternal, it can then be understood that our future selves are watching us right now through our memories. Wow! Let’s think about that for a moment.
Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
Below is a letter that Albert Einstein wrote to his daughter about the universal force of love. The letter was released in the 1980’s along with over a thousand other letters that he wrote to different people.
During a spiritual awakening there can come a time where your journey to enlightenment slows down, or in some cases stops altogether. There are a number of reasons for this; throughout this post I will outline some of the reasons that could be slowing or stopping your progress.
There will come a time, regardless of your level of enlightenment, where your journey will stop. It is important to stop and realise that you have not lost what you have worked so hard to gain.
Meditation is the art of mastering the mind through the development and strengthening of one’s awareness. Being that the subconscious mind is constantly dumping thoughts at random into the conscious mind and can hijack one’s consciousness and attention, it is critical that one develop their capacity to master their mind so that they can steer it in the direction they truly want.

How Can You See Spirits? A Guide to Spiritual Clairvoyance.
If you are reading this article, chances are, you have the ability to see spirits around you. This gift is called clairvoyance, and it often starts coming in much earlier than when you'll start to notice it. While most people sense spirits before they ever see them, often the sensing is accompanied by other clues that you are being visited by those in the spirit world.
Enlightenment. The moment we consciously connect to eternal truth. It’s when we see through the veil of this illusionary world, rising above ego, time, materialism, and our own emotions to see the bigger picture — that we are all one.
It’s what all gurus, spiritualists, yogis, Buddhists, monks, meditators, shamans, artists, writers, and religious leaders strive for.
The Third Eye, an inner eye is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna chakra in certain Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness.
The Third Eye in reality is the Pineal Gland. It is the spiritual Third Eye, our Inner vision and it is considered the seat of the soul. It is located in the geometric center of the cranium.
One of the most difficult things we can go through in the spiritual life would be the spiritual awakening stages, just like the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. We as human beings go through a very similar and dramatic change, we unfold the path to liberate our self from within the depths of our soul and emerge after some struggle as a spark of the divine in the world.
We are in this physical world, but we are not from this world.
It is important to understand that there is an evolution of Souls going on through the earthly experience, but also a development for every individual Soul. This is how the passage into higher and higher dimensions can be explained in simple terms.
This is a very exciting time on earth and for humanity. Many are experiencing symptoms of the new frequencies as well as awakening/remembering who we really are. There is a global shift taking place as we expand our consciousness past the limitations and conditions that have been placed upon us..
Our televisions/media is a huge catalyst for the mass hypnosis and manipulation of our minds keeping us focused on materialism and issues that do not matter. They are selling stories, not solutions. Politics and many religions have kept us in a limited state of fear and control. What's the solution? Knowledge is power.. However, action is still necessary...What action can we take to reclaim our birthright of our sovereign nature back?
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment”.
~ Buddha
Bauddha Dharma' (Buddhism) can be translated as 'Religion of the Buddha' or 'Way of Buddha'. Thus it means following the teachings of the enlightened one. Buddhism was founded in the north-eastern part of India (Between India and Nepal). Buddhism is a nontheistic religion (Independent from the belief or non-belief of God); Mahayana tradition is considered polytheistic.
