What do you think of J.Krishnamurti’s “idea” that meditation cannot be taught?
Also doesn’t conforming to methods of meditation (TM & PM) laid down remove the whole point of meditation?
Struggling to Forgive
How can one get to the point of forgiving someone who has gone OUT OF HIS WAY to harm and scar you for his life. Instead of realising his mistakes this person, is in fact proud of his actions and looks into the eyes of his victim with an air of superiority, conveying something like – I did what I did to you and there was nothing you could do to stop me.
Unfortunately, I have such a person in my life. It would bring a lot of peace to my heart if I could make myself forgive him. I would be eternally grateful if you could tell me what’s the best way to do that since on my own I find it impossible to do so.
Newlywed Doubts
I just recently got married about two weeks ago. I’m a 24 year old female working and attending college. I have had rocky relationships in the past and now I’m married to someone whom I dated for a mere four months before marriage. I think I made a mistake because I never believed in marriage and now I’m in the institution and feel totally depressed. I don’t think I’m marriage material and I don’t want to be. I feel terrible about it. Is there something wrong with me because of not wanting to be confined to the institution. I feel caged now…. I feel no longer free in my mind.
Possession by Evil Spirit
I am eternally grateful having attended the Synchrodestiny course; as the true context of your teachings came crashing down on me when I read the first chapter of the Upanishad from your bookstore. “Blessed are they who, through an illumined teacher, attain to self-realization” (Katha Upanishad).I cried like an infant, overwhelmed by Love, Knowingness & Bliss; an emotion I had felt only as a young toddler. In my childhood I tried to keep close to the source, speaking in my own way to Jesus and to my ancestors. I remember feeling Love & Bliss and I now feel enlightened with a deep sense of knowingness that we are One, united in the Universe.
However, in my quest to get some answers during my adolescence I have
ventured beyond faith into reality. If we are all “spirits with a human experience” and our spirits are inherently peaceful & good, then how do I explain the following?
I have been brought up in a Roman Catholic environment. During my adolescence I developed an urge to see proof of this higher “might”/ God as you like it. But at that time I saw no signs. Therefore I had set out to seek proof of God by seeing proof of his opposite extreme.
One vacation, when visiting my parents in Cameroon (West Africa) I enlisted to participate an exorcism performed by the Archbishop of Yaoundé (the capital). This was all the proof I needed and it can still haunt me when I think of it !!
What or where was this “good” spirit? What made a human convulse so extremely that one would question the whereabouts of his soul? Is this human experience you talk of really inseparable from the soul? And can a soul also prove to be demonic? How do I rationalize what I have seen and heard? What does this imply to the dark side of men?
Preparing to Write a Book
I am a 25-year-old woman, and a passionate student of spiritual teachings. Since I opened up to Spirit, I have always tried to remain a grounded student, aware in the present moment.
I feel as though Spirit is guiding me to write a book. Currently written is the title, outline, as well as access and experience to all the information i need. I guess the one thing i am lacking right now is belief in myself…my youth and lack of a university degree are my biggest issues. And that really is impeding my progress thus far.
So, my question for you is:
If you feel the Universe is pointing you in a specific direction, placing the opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas – what inspires you – with others in written form, how do you know for sure? How do you know the best way to present your teachings to other people?
