I like my job. It's challenging... but I don't get the inspirations from within (as I used to) to work harder for upgrading my knowledge. Instead, I feel drawn to my old addictions... which finally drain all my mental energy, leaving me regretting. How can I give a full stop to my addictions and get inside inspiration to become disciplined in my work. I know I am capable of many things, but du...
I have recently started "seeing" a lot of things others cannot see. In my culture we believe that this is a gift from the ancestors. Since I can even see the death of someone before it happens, I am expected to go through a ritual to enable me to communicate with my ancestors. This is supposed to make me a powerful spiritualist. However I know that this form of spiritualism is connected to the...
The dark seed of all psychological suffering is hidden within (unconscious) identification. Which means... there is but a single solution, one real resolution to this virtually unremitting pain: regardless the personal cost, one must agree to see the truth of this situation.

Real spiritual responsibility begins with our conscious agreement to stand -- in full self-awareness -- between the force of any negative reaction and those still-in-the-dark parts of us that have given it birth... and that continue to keep it alive.
Just as true emptiness holds all things, true silence bears all things. Whatever is brought into this silence, whatever it touches, is gradually silenced... not by an act of domination, but through a peaceful integration of a lesser peace into a greater one.
The one who finds the truth, the source of its path, and the footsteps that lead up and back to the living Light within oneself, has joy. For he has, at last, found and realized the true body of his own timeless being.
Although virtually unseen, the biggest problem with taking the "easy way" is that not only does it get easier each time to take that path, but with each stretch of it that you walk your weakness gets that much stronger.
All negative "I"s are effectively blind because they are enclosed within the walls of what they don't want, and unable to see anything else. Their prison, and its pain, is inseparable from their perception of life.
