Initiation Two: The Mental Plane The element of Air symbolizes the plane of mind. In Qabballah, this part of the four-fold soul/body is called “Briah”, and is symbolized by the third letter in the tetragrammatorn, or Holy formula of creation: YHVH. In this formula, the Vav signifies both the realm of all mental activity, and … Related posts: Enlightening Documentaries: The Great Work (1 – The Material Plane) Enlightening Documentaries: Magical Egypt – The Invisible Science Part 1 of 8 Enlightening Documentaries: Magical Egypt – The Old Kingdom & the Still Older Kingdom Part 2 of 8 Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Secret Mysteries of America’s Beginnings Volume 2: Riddles in Stone – Secret Architecture of Washington, D.C.
Which comes first?
“Our self-image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.” – Napoleon Hill It’s a “chicken and egg” question about which comes first. The answer is that it doesn’t matter. Whatever works for you, do it. Take the action, create the thoughts, and raise your self-image; or take the action to improve the quality and regularity of your habits; or do both. But do something, because home improvement is a continual, never ending flow. Your wonderful life depends on it. The post Which comes first? appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.
Can You Allow Appreciation to Change Your Life?
We are all aware of the benefits that come from being appreciative and grateful. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. In the face of a sinking economy, do you find it difficult to be appreciative? When it feels like your very way of life is being threatened, can you still find reasons to be grateful? Yes, sometimes finding the good in a situation can seem like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. Yet, the benefits of being in a state of genuine appreciation in spite of what’s going on around us are worth investigating. This…

ThanksgivingGratitude
In the US, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I wanted to touch on gratitude for a bit. If you’ve had a recent breakup or life isn’t exactly where you want it to be, being thankful for what you do have is a tough one. As most of you know I reject the “think a happy thought” philosophy

Thanksgiving Day – celebrate happiness with the two most important words
If appreciation is the most important ingredient for happiness, then Thanksgiving Day gives us a unique occasion to focus on what makes us happiest. Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year. Oh, sure, Christmas is grand, and I know it has many, many fans. I’m not knocking Christmas. But the Thanksgiving story is more important. Easter has its fans, too. Rebirth is a wonderful thing, but I still say Thanksgiving is more important. Yes, kids jump for joy at the thought of Halloween. I am sure they enjoy…
The obstacle is in the mirror
“If you know what you need to do to achieve your dreams, and then fail to act, then who do you blame when you don’t get what you want?” We all have a sense of what we need to do to get what we want But many don’t. Worse, many won’t. Many won’t cultivate the habits, the disciplines, the desire. Many put off taking action, deluding themselves into thinking there will …
Stop Thinking to Grow Your Intelligence
Scientists estimate that we use somewhere between 1/10 of 1{2879bc8f2cf0c7badc0ba0b91bc88170008fa0b1cee68ceb4afb7fd46d4bfeb9}, and 1{2879bc8f2cf0c7badc0ba0b91bc88170008fa0b1cee68ceb4afb7fd46d4bfeb9} of our mental potential for conscious thought. That’s not very much, is it? When considering these statistics, two questions immediately come to mind: 1) If those scientists are operating under the same limitations as the rest of us, how can they make such an estimate? 2) Why can’t we access a greater percentage of our mental potential? Okay, I admit it; the first question was just to put things in perspective. So let’s talk about that second question. If the potential is there, how can we access it and put it to better use? How the mind operates Understanding how the thinking process works helps …
Sabotaging the Healing Process and Running When It Gets Tough
There's an old saying about, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." It's not an all bad saying. While I don't prescribe to the no pain, no gain philosophy of success through suffering, there is a lot to be said for perseverance, tenacity, and general dedication and self-discipline. These are core elements prescribed by most true spiritual traditions that I know of. It's just a lot of times …
Awesome Things I Said To My Ex

Home Of The Year
It might never be seen in a magazine, but your home should be home of the year, every year, to you. Let’s see what kind of home we get when we mix in a dose of toddler and a dash of humor. This was a few years ago, when we were gathered ’round the television, where Little Lady was watching an episode of Stuart Little. The kids on the show had entered their house for a Home Of The Year contest sponsored by some fancy magazine. I turned to my wife with yet another one of my way-too-brilliant ideas. “Why don’t…

Why stay stuck?
“Escape is easier than change.” – Jim Rohn Some people take more time planning their TV schedule, or their vacation, or their next meal, than taking the time to plan their life. And they remain bound – stuck. You become what you focus on. Consider the possibilities in your future; isn’t it worth taking the extra time to design your perfect life?

Anniversary
Michael’s romantic gesture was to ask me what I wanted for my birthday…”ANYTHING!” he said, excited that he cared about someone enough to want to lavish them with ANYTHING. So I asked for a room at the Plaza, not a suite, just a room. Not a king-sized room, just a
Spirituality Poem: Unending
I've read this poem by my student, Jackie, a couple of times, and I encourage you to do so as well, preferably out loud. There's something about certain poems that begs to be spoken and not quietly read, but you are welcome to do that all the same. But if you do read this out loud, I encourage you to listen closely to the cadence of the words. See if you hear the tremors of Truth and feel the rumblings of Love inside you that may get stirred up from that place of "unending" within you.Enjoy! UnendingRead more »

You can start today
“If you keep doing what you’ve been doing for the past year, will your best possible future happen?” Will what you’ve been doing take you where you want to go?

Spirituality Webinar: Spiritual Sexuality and Sexual Desire
Everybody loves sex. Well, I hope everyone does. That's why I'm sure that this topic will be more than a little popular for many of you. But the approach to sexuality on the spiritual path is generally much different than the way people think about it. It seems like on the one hand we have people who are very extreme in denying sex except for purposes of procreation, and on the other hand, we have people who just want to feel tons and tons of …
From Action to Inaction and Back Again
Last year I received a note from someone who was coming out of a 3 year relationship. Before that relationship they had been friends. During that friendship she saw him date other women and be dishonest and commitmentphobic with them. So when they dated, she was SURPRISED by his dishonesty and commitmentphobia. Why? The cycle
