Our lives seem to lack direction! We just don’t understand the meaning & purpose of our life. So, we can wander aimlessly. We get trapped in the material world, with its temporary pleasures & tempting distractions. Is it just about competition & survival of the fittest? CONTEMPLATE THE TRUE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE! The discussion below is an opportunity for you to START this important INNER process. Seeking your true purpose is an important part of personal development and your

We can never really control other people or our world… but we CAN control how much LOVE we give in response #gameoflife #gratitude #wellbeing #lifetest #discernment #lifebalance #unconditionallove #resilience #challenges

(a) Where we are now! THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR A HIGHER GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS. Most community minded people would agree! This could significantly improve the overall quality of life on our planet. THIS WOULD PROBABLY EVEN ENSURE OUR SURVIVAL! But HOW do we raise the general awareness of all mankind? This seems a daunting task! The challenge is beyond the capacity of individual states, nations or even large trans-national power blocks. It must somehow transcend social, cult

We seem to be made of solid matter! Our skin, tissues & bones all seem separate or solid. But we know from science & conventional atomic theory that this ‘solid matter’ is mostly ‘space’. Atoms & subatomic particles take up less than 1% of that space. But is that spare space really empty and made of nothing? The answer could be so simple, so elegant and so profound. If some maverick scientists are right, this will radically change the way we view everything! Not only in the w

Sometimes we glimpse the potential benefit of changing our life. Then doubts arise: Should we attempt changing? Will it really succeed? Is it worth the effort? What problems will it produce? OUR DOUBT, DISTRUST AND EVEN CYNICISM CAN SURFACE! Often, we don’t fully accept it’s worth the effort or the risk involved. Or, we don’t really believe we can achieve this. We don't trust the process. Sometimes we foresee potential problems in changing. As a result, WE CAN BECOME UNCE

The Truth can be SO SIMPLE, but NOT always SO EASY to accept. It can be quite a shock! In this discussion we will present ONE MAJOR TRUTH: It concerns WHO WE REALLY ARE! Do you think you really know? Preliminary warning & advice: It helps if you take the offered explanation very slowly. We suggest that you briefly pause & contemplate the deeper meaning, after every sentence. To allow this truth to really sink in, it’s also important to deeply visualize what has been stated. F

Living a spiritual path is not about what we have but what we CHOOSE to do with it! #spirituality #discernment #lifetest #starting

Some of us have had a major life crisis. Many more of us instead experience a CHRONIC DISSATISFACTION…A SLOW SUFFERING! Some in this ‘dissatisfied’ category view their life as ‘predominantly unsatisfactory’. They experience CONSTANT LOW-GRADE STRESS OR INNER TURMOIL. A crisis in slow motion! A bigger subgroup of dissatisfied people just ‘ lack inner peace’… They’re NOT FULLY CONTENT and CAN’T FIND FULFILLMENT in their lives. They don’t understand the meaning of life and the

A crisis in our lives may be a good thing, even ‘a blessing’. This is the next life lesson (No.36): CRISES ARE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE Crises give us an invitation to stop our usual ways. It’s also an incentive to make a significant change. A crisis gives us A CHANCE TO REDIRECT OUR LIFE. At times of crisis, there is an opportunity to RECONNECT WITH OUR INNER NEEDS. To productively channel them outwards instead of just holding them back. We can finally unleash that deep d

For so many of us, life FEELS LIKE A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. It’s a daily battle, just ‘to survive’. We try hard to do what’s expected of us or do even more! What we don’t realize is that by just CARRYING ON IN OUR USUAL WAY, we deny ourselves so much. Usually we just conform to OUR PRIOR SOCIAL CONDITIONING. We became trapped in these HABITUAL PATTERNS. However, we sacrifice an important part of our real self in this process. We sabotage our true inner desires and needs. This

WE USUALLY DON’T LISTEN TO THE NEEDS OF OUR INNER-SELF! We figuratively dam up these inner urges behind ‘a wall’ and defer them; until FINALLY A BREAK-DOWN OR ‘LEAK’ OCCURS somewhere. A small leak corresponds to a small crisis. A larger crack in ‘the wall’ - a larger crisis. A major break in ‘the dam’ - a major life-threatening crisis. However, we do then get A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY… an incentive to change our lives! This is another important life lesson (No. 23): A CRISIS F

We have previously discussed the importance of inner needs and the benefit in exploring these. These needs may signal something more than just our genetic makeup or life experience. Hidden needs may even predispose us to certain life experiences. They often manifest as a strong desire to express ourselves and share our special talents with the world. The outcome is a work in progress! Life lesson No. 13 is: WE HAVE A DEEP NEED TO EXPRESS OUR TALENTS & ABILITIES From deep with

Right now, things might look bad or even grim! But no bad situation is unresolvable. No matter how daunting or impossible the task might at first seem, there is a solution. Sometimes it’s good to remind our-self of this, especially when things get tough! The best answer to a problem requires tapping into our innermost Nature. We connect by tuning in with heart-felt sincerity & humility. Heart based strategies bypass the self-sabotage mechanisms of our Ego-mind. To do this we

What else should we be aware of as we consider changing ourselves and our lives? A life-crisis or our chronic dissatisfaction with life is USUALLY A WARNING. It signals that WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOMETHING QUITE WRONG. Often for a long time! Sometimes it just means we have A NEW CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME or ANOTHER LIFE-LESSON TO LEARN. Often the ‘underlying cause’ of our predicament is apparent or even obvious to others. But we ourselves can’t quite see this, yet! So, a crisis give

How would a SPIRITUALLY WISE person behave? What would we look for and perhaps notice in them? IS MEASURING SPIRITUAL WISDOM EVEN POSSIBLE? Can we really tell whether someone is spiritually aware or even enlightened? Could we ever determine THE LEVELS of higher consciousness that might exist? IF WE COULD TEST for the quality of higher Awareness, WHAT REAL PURPOSE would that serve? Would this help our own personal and spiritual development, or could it somehow hinder this? MAN

We have such good intentions for our life. This includes our health, work and relationships. We usually want to do the right thing. To do what we inwardly know to be right. To maximize our potential. But somehow it slowly seems to go astray! It all seems much harder to do. We end up delaying or postponing our dreams. Our plans just don’t turn out as we had hoped. Along the way, something seems to have subtly undermined what we had really intended. Is success in life purely d
