I remember the day when my own spiritual journey became serious, when there was no going back. I’d been attending a group for several months in New York City. There were many discussions about free will, questioning whether everything people do is just the passive result of external influences or if we really make our own free choices. The theme seemed to be that it was possible to earn... read more »

Symbols, Meaning, and the Sacred Quest: Spiritual Awakening in Jewish, Christian and Islamic Stories (Religion & Spirituality)
1 chapters   —   updated 14. Februar, 20:43 Uhr
Description: The real purpose of these stories is not to supply a questionable historical narrative, or to teach smarmy moral rules that no one can follow, or to command its followers to believe a lot of fantastic claims that defy all scientific logic! Their real purpose is to present a great Wisdom Teaching – through Allegory, Symbol and Metaphor – that teaches our soul the inner psychological and spiritual steps that must be taken to achieve spiritual awakening. For example, the entire story of the "Return to the Promised Land" is a symbolic explanation of the soul's return from inner material slavery (which the Hebrew Bible calls "Egypt") to spiritual freedom and enlightenment (symbolized as "Canaan").
The Sacred Feminine (Religion & Spirituality)
1 chapters   —   updated 23. September, 06:22 Uhr
Description: The Women in the Bible

A Celebration of Spiritual and Religious Unity, Wisdom and Friendship!


I’ve picked September as the time for this ‘Celebration’ as a way to commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, by taking one small step to promote Peace, Brotherhood and Sisterhood among people of different faiths and beliefs.

What I’ve done is to contact Authors, Filmmakers, Musicians and Artists, who are creating work in support of Unity, Friendship, Spiritual Wisdom, and Intercultural Understanding, and...more

“But we as a culture have lost the deep intuitive understanding that Creation exists on many levels. We have succumbed to the scientific viewpoint. Nothing characterizes ‘the modern world’ more completely than the loss of faith in Transcendence, our arrogant lack of any genuine appreciation for levels of reality above our little everyday affairs. The deepest wounds to the human soul have been caused by our lack of appreciation of levels. By shutting the door on transcendence, we have cut off any light from that world that might have illuminated this one, leaving us in darkness,leaving us with nothing but a dead world where scientists are merely performing an autopsy.”

“With a truly tragic delusion,” Carl Jung noted, “these theologians fail to see that it is not a matter of proving the existence of the light, but of blind people who do not know that their eyes could see. It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing.”
C.G. Jung
