Spiritual Philosophy

A 15-year-old boy is walking through a swirling fog on his way to school when a voice calls out, "Come here. We need to talk." Out of the mist emerges an old man with a white beard. He is a fantastic figure, as wizardly as Merlin, as wise as Socrates, as peaceful as Buddha. Whoever he is, the old man has appeared on that very day to change the boy's life. "You are old enough to learn about things," he says mysteriously. "And who is going to teach you but me?" The old man gives the boy four days of "soul training", a time of riddles, tricks, parables, and incredible twists.

In the book I talk about Christ, God, and the Kingdom, but also currents, like immigration, the wall, government shutdown, Iran, investing, mention 5G, China, Bitcoin, Socio-economic dilemmas, Christ parabolic and Solomonic business principles, reality, infidelity, The Art of War, with a little psycho-theology theory of my own.

The call of God to be a pastor is exciting and can be fulfilling in your life.You will see God use you in miraculous ways to reach people and to impact your community. To be effective, however, you must learn to be strategic. You need a plan. You need wisdom. You need people and resources. Your vision is big, but your energy is limited. Whether you are a pastor of a church or have the desire to be a pastor one day, you need to take time to gain insight in to how to be a strategic pastor, not just a passionate pastor.

Bhakti (love for the Beloved) is the highest pinnacle of any spiritual endeavor. Unlike other paths, it is a wholly selfless path in which the practitioner is unconcerned with personal gain or spiritual goals. The goal is simply to love God. In this path, one experiences the bliss of the divine from the very outset. As Ramakrishna says, God’s devotees are invited into the living room of God’s heart from the very beginning, while others have to wait outside until the very end. Bhakti is the simplest, easiest, most satisfying and most expedient path to the divine.

In questo scritto, del 1913, vengono date in forma riassunta descrizioni di quelle parti del mondo e dell'essere umano che compaiono alla coscienza chiaroveggente. È certamente uno scritto molto meno approfondito dei due, "Teosofia" e "Scienza Occulta", che l'hanno preceduto, ma è, come tutti gli scritti di Steiner, leggibile per sé, senza aver letto i precedenti, ed è decisamente molto fruibile per la sua concisione e chiarezza.

In this new book, Vardøger takes the reader on the voyage of his life from childhood to parenthood, from embracing religion to rejecting religion, from faith to facts. Various spiritual teachings, consciousness phenomena, scientific evidence, and philosophical concepts are assembled into Vardøger’s idea of “the golden thread” that harmonizes the universal morals and concepts of the major world religions. This is the story of one man’s search for spiritual truth. This is Maverick Vardøger’s Lead Line.

We are all dwellers in two kingdoms, the inner kingdom, the kingdom of the mind and spirit, and the outer kingdom, that of the body and the physical universe about us. To strike the right balance in life is one of the supreme essentials of all successful living. We must work, for we must have bread. There are moments in the lives of all of us when we catch glimpses of a life—our life—that is infinitely beyond the life we are now living. We realize that we are living below our possibilities. We long for the realization of the life that we feel should be.

Un meraviglioso testo di Raymond Charles Barker, uno dei maestri del Nuovo Pensiero, che illustra come funziona la mente, come attivare il suo potere per creare la vita che si desidera. Un audiolibro che mostra che in ogni uomo esiste una parte divina innata che attende solo di essere (ri)conosciuta, che è parte della Mente Infinita che tutto genera.

While listening to one particular recording, things beyond my ability to describe occurred within my consciousness. It seemed as though I was viewing an ever-opening lotus flower with an infinite number of petals, and life itself opened to me with an unending variety of pictures or images - until I was transcending all that I had ever dreamed, into that which I had never dared to dream and still beyond, until I could understand no more but knew there was more when I was ready.

People have reported encounters with God since the beginning of recorded history. Visitations gave rise to every major religion, influencing the hearts and minds of billions of believers. These powerful events are part of the human record, but it is unclear how accurate they are or how frequently they occur. However, reports from those who claim to have encountered divinity are fairly consistent: There’s something unfathomable out there.

The news and media are full of discussions about religious radicals. Their extreme actions dominate our headlines and political conversations because their behavior is so far from society's comfort zone.
