Short introduction

Thanks for visiting Spiritual Blog. Except for guest articles, I am the main writer on this blog. I started this blog for three main reasons — or rather to to discuss three main principles. First, to write about how to live a self-aware life. Second, to discuss the nature of the personal dream, much like in the book The Alchemist. Through self-awareness we are able to let go of living a scripted, unoriginal, and false life and embrace this inner-dream instead.

The final reason that prompted me to start this blog is to write on the importance of present-moment awareness. Eckhart Tolle contrasts the ego with consciousness, proposing that the ego either keeps us locked in the pain of the past or the promise of the future, never allowing us to be free in the present moment.

Present moment consciousness allows us to transcend the limitations of the ego. It is in that state that we are able to achieve, as Buddhist teachings have been proposing for centuries - "liberation".

Favorite books

The Power of Now is an excellent starting point for spiritual development. The Secret - Yes, there is a lot of 'fluff' in this book, but once we get past that it becomes clear just how much we are manifesting as it is without conscious intention. Conscious intention makes the entire process worthwhile.

Hands of Light is a ground-breaking book about energetic-healing. This is one of the best-written books I've read on the topic of healing with our hands.

I recommend looking at all of the books from Robert Bruce. The topics range from healing, shielding, astral travel, to spiritual development. These books are all at the top of the bookshelf in our home.

The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are provides some great Eastern philosophical discussions that revolutionize how we look at the world, culture, people, and social structures. This is one of those books that makes the entire world seem different after reading it.

You might also find these other books worth taking a look at.

Places to take a look at
