Against religion spirituality
Life offers a wide variety of feelings, and there are some rocks in the mountains of life. where you are standing alone on the amount of the connotation mixed.
I tried such a practice (not by me) from my aunt. It was literally a long wait for their retirement, but in the end, when the backcounting started the number of days have become restless and anxious.
Due to their knees aching, I wonder why they do not feel relief. At the same time, going deep,I recognized the situation of feeling that his work after leaving the year. .
On the advice of friends and family began to plan their life after retirement. Among other things, the task of selecting among the religious. . . . . err. . . Orr. . . spiritual organizations. 'Satsang Beas Bhawan to live, "" Osho "," Art' Options 'Baba Ramdev ji'. . . . etc.
Stay with me that these clans largely into two categories: religion, that idolatry be dividedBhajan, Kirtan, ceremonies and wedding ring as well as mythological idol debates and conferences. The other is the spiritual groups, categories, prone to self-improvement. Spirituality comes with being, and i. spirited passionate, compassionate, confident and zestfull to life. The activities of self-improvement yoga, pranayama, etc. lead to spirituality.
One of my favorites is the art of living clan. Teach 'SO. . . . . . . HUM "which means" we areGod (or God is within us). The basic principle is the need to increase self-esteem (not self-ego), "Cause esteem is the foundation of the whole evolution of personality and development.
Another activity is to prepare homemade Tiffin boxes and do the same, are eaten by others with their hands, while others are eating.
These things bring a sense of unity and brings peace and tranquility.
Although spiritual and religious institutions lead to peace and quiet of the anxious Background is the former the most current needs in a fast-paced, competitive environment of today. Ultimately, both lead to each other and i. when you go on the spiritual path, you start believing in yourself. As Swami Vivekananda once said, "You focus first on building biceps, then you will better understand the Gita. Sameways if you improve the reputation of the biceps and be at peace with itself, defined as Geeta and better religion.
The next tool in the direction> Spirituality Meditation look within, deep inside. Some better results under control. There are different forms of meditation. What to choose the way that it can also be performed. In addition, under control, can be treated by a therapist.
In India, we have relatively strong and stable family relationship, but the tough Cut Throat professional challenges, competitions and deadlines over the edge of a push to the need for such practices of meditation and spiritual.
Not nameanyone in particular, although some religious clan reveals all kinds of corrupt activities or commercial, is not an accident, and sewn to the end customer, the member involved in the current generation, as in the final victory of yoga and meditation, etc.
Just be aware and conscious of the "party donations and loans by magic, particularly against women in private meetings. Such statements are a very magical thing of the past scenarios.

Practical Spirituality - The Ego
It is a popular movement today the arrival of a so-called "New Age" involved with spirituality rather than religion. Many of the ideas from Eastern religions emphasize education and the resolution power of the ego. In these religions, the concept of the self block is wrong. The idea is to know the true self, the self-constructed, the other side of the false self to those around us. The true self is the greatest self-interconnectionfor anything.
In the world of duality, this is a difficult lesson for some. The dualists who hear and decide to work with him to let go quickly from the idea of ego and self-employment and wanted to leave immediately, and not in contact with the true self. And 'doing the right thing for them. In Eastern thought, but this dual voltage is usually not available. An example of the lack of such tension can be seen in Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism.
In Tibetan BuddhismThere are thousands and thousands of angry and peaceful deities and bodhisattvas to pray during your journey through the Bardo in Tibetan Book of the Dead. In Taoist temples, there are often images of worship of the people. same time, these religions are not theistic. Practitioners do not see tension in the fact that there are many gods, but no one, while some Westerners seeking to remain in religions as religions without God's truth isHowever, to realize that this religion which is really too big to understand maybe. The images of God or the gods are a tool for understanding the functions and concepts that can detect them. Some may feel the gods, to do it, and some not at the surface, it seems that these groups practice different religions, but on a deeper level, both have the same faith. This belief is that we can not be absolutely sure until we get there. With our energy to find out whether or notthings like God is just a tool of the ego that we are no longer the real work of spirituality. It 's so simple.
In the Western mind, there is a great system ego unidentified. A theist must remain, because his theistic idea of humanity and of itself, is his idea, accompanied by a theist. If he believes to be an atheist or non-theist be, will have lost the battle of wits between the various parts. He has given one of hishave core beliefs and for this, it lost the battle. make acceptance of a new idea of a God who must give an atheist. You would have to give up their identity as an atheist - someone who has stood against superstition. What would be their friends? It does not seem this whole discussion and participation as the fruit up and let go of the ego? This is what it is.
As we begin, take these various Eastern religions and Western spirituality and alsoMysticism is for us to remember the ego, and how thin our perception of the world and our beliefs about God and humanity characterized important. Dualism is the main instrument of the ego. To resolve the limitations of the self, is necessary for us to begin to see the world holistic, not dualistic. In holistic thinking there is a place for dualism, but dualism there is no room for a holistic approach, to think the singular. The person also realizes there is a place for the ego, butsaid a person with a life of ego there is no room for self-realization or enlightenment, because the ego is afraid of these things.
While part of your spiritual journey, so be sure to observe where ego begins and ends. Your ego may actually create spiritual experiences to the point that everything you do all that study, and each teacher must be proposed by the ego, so that, as we are and will remain, and may strengthenI think you have the world so that the ego is impenetrable. You can read more about the ego doing spiritual practice and meditation are included. If it is because you feel good, probably chosen by the ego. Spirituality is not feeling well most of the time. At first it rock world, and the causes of stress. Tears comfortable ideas for the world and covers a break point at times.
AfterBroken during the repair and it feels good and is growing. But if there is no stress, no disappointment for fear, and breaking at various points in the spiritual journey, you should ask if he or she is really doing the kind of spirituality that will bring education, or if he or she religiously feeding the ego is yet another way. Look for I, my friends, because the ego is a Fifth Avenue penthouse cage, if necessary.Through our spiritual practice, we could simply relax the mind and strengthening the body so that I can use to participate from around the world of illusion with more vehemence and persistence.

On spirituality, religion and Manifesting Anything You Want
Because the speech seems to be on call to replace the spirituality of religion in our world today? And what does the term manifestation of everything we do? I want this from the perspective of Christianity to discuss today, how is what I know best. But bear in mind that similar problems occur in other religions - the problems of interpretations based than in the past and the modern spirit illuminated.
Some thingsTo consider when it comes to Christianity. The Bible was written to be understood by people 2,000 years ago. These were the people at a different stage of evolution than we are now. Some concepts were then interpreted as a particular people were not able to understand it in another way. 2000 years later we are enlightened, you feel enlightened conversation. And the Bible is a little 'surprising that now extract from it a very different conversation with our moredeveloped brain.
For example, it is common practice worldwide accepted standard, due to stone a woman of adultery. Sometimes it happens, but in general the world frowned. Now, in biblical times would be completely out of the norm. to question the practice of stoning. We have a new perception of today's world of what "good" and what is 'bad' and we want the "good" in general, because we would like to reward or something, but because it is good. In other words, howPeople who have developed a phase of a degree of self-monitoring on the basis of a teaching procedure. And we long to be "good."
Now there are a million and one ways in which we do not do well as people and society. But we see that and know he knows that and so, contrary to biblical times, we now have a much higher standard that we used for the intended behavior. And identifying where it is due, it was very content of this higher standard of Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Mother createdTeresa and the other great religious leaders. And these leaders were doing what they did not fear or greed, but from their inner goodness, or spirit. But even if we are "out of the dark" has to say so, through this great religious leader-modern Christianity and other religions are more in the direction of a circle based on the interpretation of the Bible fear. They seem to say that people do not operate from a track within, but because of fear of condemnation or greedyeternal life and salvation.
So let's look closer to Jesus, because he was our example as Christians. Jesus said that we, as children of God, and God's children in this context, consider that Jesus did not teach people that it was something special, and made in the image and likeness of God (which was, of course) .. . but we are all special and made in the likeness of God Remember that Jesus said that God in all of us. Well, if it is true that it followsthat if Jesus can do miracles, walk on water, feeding the masses, etc., so all we can.
As Christians, for those of us who is the mouth a few words about faith in God's image. But we think that Jesus alone can move a mountain. Remember that each of us can move a mountain, and we can do it literally. But if this is true, one might ask why we did not do? And as Jesus did not do it? The obvious answer ... Jesus had faith. He knew how to walk on water, sohe could. We do not think we can, then we can not. Jesus was not only faith and belief in God, but God in him and in themselves. He could walk on water. We do not, we can not. And I count myself in the 'we' because I have been dredged up to now the faith is not enough to physically move a mountain, even if I moved a lot of figurative ones. (I'm going to get physical soon.)
Then back to our initial premise, we are ready in our world and of religion for a new conversation about GodWe are here for a conversation, what Jesus said that each of us, like God, as he can, and work on our inner goodness and spirit recognizes mature. In this model, their will be no room for fear or greed for reward. This in turn will allow us to manifest what we want by faith and belief. Of course, we will manifest what is right and good looking, because we are of God within.
O Baha'u'llah
It is a Bible study on the revelations have no impact on your life?
E 'became very fashionable for some Christians suggest that the biblical prophecies actually a non-essential and not necessary for us to understand. In other words, according to their Bible study on Revelation is not important to your rescue. But what is a salvation-historical problem, incidentally. It is not the gospel of Christ died for us so that we are saved by him? Is not God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son? And I say yes! This is the heartthe message of the Gospel. This is the sum of the message of salvation is given to the world.
But how does a Bible study in Revelation 13, for example, distract from that message? The fact is that one can not separate prophecies of the Bible from the Gospel message. What this particular chapter is not really to bring the same message of the Gospel in the light of an event at the end of time.
Here is the gospel of salvation, as in the context of a Bible study in Revelation 13 (and other Bible presentedText):
• This is the book of life written on behalf of all the saints (v. 8)
• E 'on the lamb from the Creation to the fallen man (vs. 8) redeem killed
• It is holy, and their acceptance of salvation (vs. 7) in contrast
• It 's a matter of worship, a choice between God and the beast (vs. 4, 8, 14:06)
• This is fraud will not be stored on the theme of salvation for man (vs11-15)
• It's about the loyalty shown to God (vs. 10, 14:12)
• This is the dragon (Satan) is strongly tempted to give the Saints their faith in Christ (12:17)
• It is obedience to God's commandments (24:17, 14:12)
In his Bible study on Revelation 13, you will see that it is not only an account of emptiness, a void of eternal significance upcoming events. It 's just impossible to make everyone to a lecture on this chapter, without pulling outAlternative questions.
If you go to parallel the prophecies of Daniel, we see the sequence of world empires before the establishment of the kingdom of God but what salvation really close to building the Kingdom of God? As Christians, we are considered candidates for the citizens of this kingdom. And if you want to see the questions and end-time prophecies of salvation history in a beautiful blend, go to the minor prophets!
When I hear some Christians try toseparate the prophecies from the gospel of salvation, I have the impression from some of their statements that they only respond to the shame of not understanding the prophecies, as something, or are they just talk for fear of the great tribulation, which is expected in the prophetic word. Many come to understand the importance of Bible study on Revelation, when the vast majority sell his soul to the devil, receiving the mark of the beast and see. Millions of peopleProfess Christianity today, go to the new orders as if they had been warned never hug!
Those who received a Bible study on the revelations will not have to change their way of life just do not understand the Gospel at best, or at worst, is on the pleasures of this world feel resigned!
In his Bible study on Revelation, we'll see where in the first chapter of the Lord promises a blessing to those who read and understand the words ofProphecies of Revelation (Rev 1:3). He could not have supported us in this society if it has nothing to do with our salvation. And that shows how to make this vision God appears in the same direction to work with itself. Let us, therefore, for the eternal blessing that awaits us to seriously pursue a better understanding of the Book of Revelation research.

Psychology as Religion - The Cult of Self-Worship, Book Review
It seems that everyone you meet these days is one self-appointed psychologist. From radio talk shows, television interviews, novels, weekly magazines, the cracks to work, everyone has an opinion on the latest "mental illness". I was introduced practical psychology when I entered the United States Air Force in 1970. It was expected that non-commissioned officers (NCOs) would become consultants to their subordinates. The professional military education devoted entire chapters andLessons counseling techniques through non-directive or eclectic. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was drilled into my head. We have been advised to avoid completely any mention of religion, but also the psychological techniques used extensively.
Paul Vitz in his book "Psychology as religion" seeks to expose religious psychology for what it really is, that is. Start by setting the reader with a brief biography of the fathers of modern psychology movement, along with sometheir theories. The first chapter was dry reading but I suppose necessary as a historical background. My interest climax when I immediately recognized Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow study, I was forced to 26 years, while in the military. Fromn Vitz also discusses Carl Gustav Jung, Erich and Rollo May, as significant for the movement.
Vitz quickly transitions into explaining the concept of self-respect, which conveys the heart of the movement selfism whole.This was important for me to run because no matter where you see a lack of or low self-esteem because of all evil known to mankind. For a movement to be so widespread to the point where psychology has been woven into the message of the Gospel, Vitz says that the concept of self-esteem "has no clear intellectual origins." This is a surprising statement, given the impact selfism had on the science and practice of counseling.
Vitz states that self-esteem should be understood asan emotional reaction and not a cause. He says it's a reaction to what we have done and what others have done to us. High self-esteem is a feeling desirable (like happiness), but the feeling is not the cause of everything. In an attempt to get a sense of self-respect, is the only effective way to do good to others or do something. You can get all self-respect that you want. However, the downside of people begin to pursue happiness as a goal much larger than theGoal of obtaining personal holiness.
Not only is it a goal selfism self-defeating for the Christian, Vitz is the case that make it simply bad science and a warped philosophy. The lack of clinical evidence that there is usually based on empirical observations and not the test of sound scientific problem-solving. We make mistakes every step of the process, the date of issue of education, and testing of hypotheses that the audit of the budget. He also identifiedseveral philosophical contradictions and in some cases actually false representations. The spread of this bad science and bad philosophy adopted by the author that the destruction of families have contributed. In addition, the entire recovery group mentality convinces the person with "low self-esteem" that their suffering will be inflicted by a trauma for them in the past. group therapy emphasizes the patient's recovery with self-pity and convince customers are victims. Once identified, the"Victim" now assumes the attitude of the victim.
values clarification has become the model taught in schools, starting with the assumption that man is naturally good. Since rejecting the developers of teaching moral values clarification, Vitz claims that if responsible adults ie teachers, not to promote good values then someone else. To provide a permissive environment supposedly nourishes the child by granting the wishes of the child's satisfaction and interest. But thisThe philosophy is bankrupt, because children are the values of the sources of irresponsible to be held responsible. This, combined with the teachings of the above, a society of victims, which creates a reference to someone else to blame for their misfortune.
Vitz takes three chapters, one Christian and the critical analysis of humanistic theories to present himself. He gives credit to our education system to transform our society into a culture of pure selfism. He notedthat the New Age movement has many founders, but the theories of Abraham Maslow were the most influential. had Vitz argues his Christian critique within a historical context and the impact on the development of our company. Unfortunately, he gives little attention to the biblical references for his position, but show how the concerns selfism heretical teachings on depression, idolatry, and suffering. He concludes his work by saying: "I've never been so many people so sure of himself,so self-conscious as something expressed ...., the self must be an object in itself. "(I think make the case that self-esteem is a new barometric indicator to the question everyone asks:" How are you today ")
Overall, the book uses cerebral approach in attempting to prove a Vitz states that self-worship is just a religion. Biblical consultant looking for material to help consultants to break her free from a selfish world view of life will be disappointed.Then again, Vitz has not written his book for this purpose. It also provides a wealth of information and a refreshing argument against those who say 'You can not teach religion in public schools. " This leaves the reader with an irony: it is not a question of should we or should not teach religion in public schools, but what they teach religion, selfism or Christianity?
