Very early on in my childhood, it was my mother who told me that the word “inspiration” literally meant to be in spirit. The spirit, in turn, was the spirit of God, who breathed into the dust of the earth and animated it with consciousness. The most fundamental factor of existence, then, became the awareness or consciousness of existence. Since it was impossible to imagine God as an infinite being, our collective consciousness used symbols to express divinity.ARTArticleDiscovering God in the GapsDiscovering God in the Gapsrn(Vinod Anand) Consider three common scenarios: (1) A lady is sick for a longtime with a chronic disease.

For example, if a guru does not have a well-functioning ego, then perhaps no seeker would ever listen to his discourses and the former would be left alone in his ashram. Whether you are a guru or seeker, you might have to blow your own trumpet in order for you to be successful. However, ego must be employed differently at different times because of our constant. The Rig Veda says, “Ego is the biggest enemy of humans”.ARTArticleFeng Shui & the Cosmic TrinityIn Chinese metaphysical studies, the concept of the Cosmic Trinity - Heaven, Earth and Man/Human aspects are intricately entwined together.

And it is because of these thoughts or desires that you are unable to go beyond human existence.ARTArticleForgiveness – Why should I forgive?As kids, we generally learn that forgiveness is just a word that you say. When you forgive, it’s like letting the other person off the hook. They say they’re sorry and you hug and make up. But what does that really do? Do we feel differently? Does that make the hurt go away? Generally not. What really happens is we take that anger and we hide it, because we are not “supposed” to feel it anymore.
