it terms of real spirituality is India the spiritual center or is the middle east?

March 13, 2010


I would say India. India is home to the oldest faith in the world, Hinduism. It is also the birthplace of yoga, and has produced so many prolific spiritual texts, the greatest one being the Bhagavad Gita. While India is pretty poor, materially speaking, we boast some of the greatest spiritual figures and thinkers of any generation so in that regard, we are quite rich.

GIFTS THE STORM MAY BRING

I’ve had my share of heartache & sorrow
Moments of sadness & lonely despair
I’ve been down on my knees
Begging life please
Take this burden I bear

I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…

All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
Yes these clouds are lifting me

Lord knows I’ve tried to run from these battles
But each time I circle to where I began
I can’t seem to move on
Till the learning is done
So teach me the perfection there

I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…

All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
My light is growing
Yes these clouds are lift, lifting me

Raise me up to the next glorious mountain
I will love each valley & peak, yeah
There will be a new me for certain
At every step, every turn
My God’s waiting there
My greatness it dares

I embrace this pain that I feel
For I know it’s birthing me
Into a greater way of being
I’m ready to receive…

All the gifts the storm may bring
There’s a deeper sense within
Of God unfolding
My light is growing
There’s peace in knowing
That these clouds are lifting me

I know these clouds are lifting me
I’m grateful for gifts the storm may bring

What or who is you spiritual center of soul ?

March 11, 2010


God is above since he create our spirits-souls. Christ is center and we work through him.

By allowing Christ to enter into our lives, he tends to appear in our countenances.

Northwest Spiritual place that will provide food and shelter in exchange for work and study?

March 09, 2010

Is there any temple or spiritual learning center (Buddhist, Shamanic, anything) that will allow you to stay there and perhaps do work around the temple while you learn? One without a monetary tuition I mean. In Washington State, Oregon, maybe California?

A convent or a monastery will sometimes accept a guest who will work in exchange for room and board.

how can i build a reiki spiritual healing center?

March 08, 2010

The Very First step is: There are three levels of basic training in Usui Reiki. You only need be certified in the first level of training to set up shop as a professional Reiki practitioner offering Reiki treatments to clients. You will need to be certified in all levels in order to teach classes and give Reiki attunements to students. Usui Reiki has long been established as the traditional Reiki system, but there are many different variations of Reiki that you can learn. Most of these are merely off-shoot systems from the Usui system, but not all. One system is not better than another. What is more important, is making sure that your clients are informed of your training, your skills, and your experience. Let them know upfront what types of healing treatments they can expect to receive from you. Once you have completed this everything else will become clear and fall in place Just Do it

What is the most important service you look for in a religious/spiritual organization ?

March 07, 2010

Churches, mosques, temples and synagogues exist so that like-mided people can congregate together to strengtehn one another’s convictions in living a more pure, and Godly way of life. The dissemination of spiritual knowledge and inspiration from it is one thing that people look for, as well as spiritual leadership.

In India, it is still a tradition that no one should visit a temple of Lord Krishna unless they receive some "prasadam" sanctified vegetarian food that has been offered to the Lord. It purifies. My teacher Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said that a spiritual center or place of worship must have as one of it’s priorities the distribution of santified food to everyone within a radius of ten miles of that place of worship. Hare Krishna temples offer a free vegetarian feast in 350 temples world-wide. Do you think this is important ? .Since most people don’t seem to be so spiritually philosophical today, shouldn’t feeding everyone with purifying food be a priority ?

Yes, I agree that distributing sanctified food is important. God is absolute, and therefore, there is no difference in the quality of God and the food of God. If the food is sanctified, then it not only nourishes the body, but purifies the soul as well. It is also not necessary to understand the process of purification. Since God is absolute, the process works with or without our understanding. That is God’s mercy.

Another important aspect of a spiritual organization is the example set by the leaders. If the scripture says that gambling is prohibited, then the leaders should not be gambling. If illicit sex is to be avoided, then the leaders should set this example. Otherwise, they are cheaters, and they are leading people to hell.
