Conversations on the Spiritual Path, St.Louis, Missouri
August 11, 2013 • Conversations on the Spiritual Path, Learn
Great event Friday evening at Jane’s House of Well-Being in St.Louis, Missouri. Our “Conversations on the Spiritual Path” event brought up great questions about religion, the spiritual path, “do we need to pick a religion or can we treat it like a spiritual buffet and pick and choose what we want for various religions?”, karma, “can we attract uplifting souls to reincarnate into our circles?” and more.
Thanks everyone for a great evening and for being so brave to chat about many sensitive topics. And I loved how one person said that many people suffered from “religious PTSD” as we delved into the topic of finding peace with the religion you left. And is yoga part of Hinduism? Only as much as the Quran is part of Islam and the Bible part of Christianity. We explored why so many people in the US do not acknowledge that yoga is part of Hinduism. Is it because by treating it as a separate entity they can finally find something that provides security and clarity without having it be part of an organized religion? And what’s unresolved within you that causes you to emotionally react so strongly to this?
Are there such things as ghosts and if so what are they? How do you protect yourselves from nightmares or astral influences while you sleep? So many great questions. Thanks everyone.

This is important because we want to train our subconscious to understand the specific meaning of a word...

If I can accept myself for where I am in my evolution, then I can accept others for where they are in their evolution. As a Hindu and from personal experiences, I believe and subscribe to the concept of reincarnation. Simply said, reincarnation describes a belief that we are a soul living in a ph...

The Things We Tell Ourselves
Well, it has been a really long time since I’ve sent one of these emails out. Apologies for my hiatus. October and November were filled with events I spoke at in the US, across Europe and in India. My travels culminated with a retreat that I held in South India where I led a group…
