“I Don’t Know Who I Am” With the growing popularity of social media, these days more than ever we are called upon to show off ‘who we are’. And while things like Facebook encourage the best of us to exaggerate our good bits while glossing over the bad, for some of us, our inability to …
TRUE SELF it’s Who You Are not What You Do!
The biggest identity crisis going seems to exist in the blurry zone of confusion between what we do and who we actually are as a person. That’s because there is a very strong tendency to identify ourselves with our primary activities in life. Let’s look at that. What we do in life usually consumes a huge portion of our time and focus. It is only natural that we would want to spend that time doing something that feels gratifying on many levels. If it’s a job of some kind, not only do we want to feel financially gratified, but we also want to enjoy what we do and feel like we’re doing something valuable, right? How important is …
Kundalini Awakening and Kundalini Experiences
One of the terms I don’t use too much is “Kundalini awakening.” It tends to be too specific for me, and there’s a strong attachment to it from different spiritual communities. As such, I choose not to refer to it much. To me, awakening is awakening. The way the energy moves up or down the spine or all around is kind of immaterial to how we all have to choose to embrace the shift. So, I don’t find a need to make as granular a …

This world can keep us so sidetracked and confused
Who’s Interests are you serving? Who’s will are you following? Is it Gods or is it your own? If it is to Glorify yourself or to gain wealth and or worldly possession along with position or power then more than likely you are serving your own interests and will. This is not to say that God would not want you to have a comfortable lifestyle or some kind of position etc., but the point is how you got there. Did you follow his will and get rewarded with these blessings or did you put God on the back burner and sought out these things because of greed and lust for power etc. To surrender to…

How Well do You Know Your True Self?
Who are you? No, it’s not a trick question and I am not asking for your name. I am also not asking for your résumé, marital status, or life history. Those things may be a reflection of who you are, but my question goes a little deeper than that. I’m asking how well you actually know yourself as a person. In other words, who are you underneath all the trappings and titles? What do you see when you look at your very core? Who is that inner…
