10 Ways To Shift Your Consciousness

kindnessPaul Lenda – In moments of stress, anxiety and other intense harmful mind states that we experience within our lives, it can be difficult to have our focus on positive personal development.

The thought of becoming an enlightened sage radiating seemingly-perpetual positive energy can seem far off…an unattainable goal given life’s everyday problems.

True as it may seem to be, this is a mental mechanism that blocks our ability to seeing things for what they are, namely that “your Self is already inherently liberated. It is the ideas that have been imposed on that Self which must be set free”, as Gangaji once mused. Continue reading

Realistic Ways to Focus on your Self-Improvement

Bill GatesPersonal development does not end upon reaching adulthood or getting a college diploma. The act of self development is a lifelong process.

The adage “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching” is a very basic truism.  We may hate to admit it, but there is subtle and universal truth to this notion. Day after day, there is always something to learn and grow from, even the smallest of things.

Some people may dismiss the idea of further development and are content with what they’ve attained. But this kind of attitude is too lax for self-improvement. Like plants, we are meant to grow, even in the subtlest of ways. If we don’t grow we become stunted and go through life with a lot of untapped (i.e. wasted) potential. Continue reading

How To Improve Your Life In 3 Simple Steps

Personal developmentMark DeNicola – The world of personal development is certainly an interesting one. As the shelves in your local bookstore and the search results on Google suggest, it is undoubtedly quite over-saturated with both redundant and often contradictory advice on how to improve your life.

Whether it be coming from well-recognized forces in the industry such as Tony Robbins and Lisa Nichols, or from people such as myself who would love to one day become that much of a force, there are plenty of resources available to us. And while I’m sure we can all list off a self-help book or two we’ve read that we believe the world would be better without, the main reason why this content continues to be created at such a rapid pace is that we continue to seek it out.

Why We Are Here

Spiritual Dynamics  January 19 2014

OwenKWatersThe biggest mystery in spiritual philosophy has always been, “WHY did God create the universe?”

This was the eternal question, the ultimate question that no one was able to answer for thousands of years. Now, you’re about to discover the answer.

Once you know the answer, just imagine what it will be like to wake up every morning and know that you hold the key to the very reason for life itself. Not just the key to your own purpose, but the master key to the very reason for the existence of the universe!

Having gained this profound depth of understanding, imagine the sense of purpose and destiny that will be yours each and every day. You are about to discover the answer to what was the most ancient mystery on earth: The reason why the universe was created in the first place.

Here’s how the question was presented throughout the millennia and why it always led to an unresolved dilemma. First, think of what existed before the universe was ever created. Remember, before the beginning, the Original Consciousness we call God was pure beingness. There was no form, just an awareness that was silent, immobile, timeless perfection.

And yet, possessed with perfection, God decided to go into action and create a universe filled with intelligent life that spends its time traveling back toward its divine source. The reason for the journey is to evolve through experience in order to eventually gain perfection.

Whoa! Wait a minute!
