Meditation and God

In your last answer to the question on meditation you wrote: ‘Once you put yourself in the flow of universal intelligence, you can feel assured that your growth is proceeding as quickly and perfectly as possible.’

Obama’s Invisible Victories

From the left we are so used to disappointment that we almost need it, but let’s not indulge in sheer masochism.  Politics isn’t always about the bottom line, and for me, President Obama’s invisible victories are immensely heartening.  He  has cleansed the Presidency, reinstated America’s status in the world, championed ideals on every front, and spoken truth to power, whether that means calling both the Israelis and Muslims to account or facing down racism in this country.

Remembering past lives

Question:

Why don’t we remember? Dear Deepak I don’t know if you have an answer for this question, but why is it when we incarnate into the physical, we forget our true self or where we were before our birth. We have spent much more time on “the other side” so to speak, then we have spent here on Earth, yet there is not one memory of it. Remembering where we were before we were born would make life so much more enjoyable – there would be no fear of death, and we would be able to accept the death of people we Love with more ease.
Is it wrong to have a huge interest in life after death? Sometimes it scares me, because I feel more of a interest in what could come after this life, then in this actual life
