Karmic Culmination

A Spiritual Path Increases Problems

Improvement sets in motion the law of karma. To the degree that you improve, to that degree you will find increased opportunity. One word of warning at this point is important. When you begin metaphysical exercises a certain definite change takes place within yourself. Feel confident that you are protected from any physiological disturbances; but nothing can protect you from the law of karma. This law has a way of speeding up, with the result that study of this kind will almost certainly increase your personal problems. You start paying karmic debts faster.

This is important eventually, but is sometimes embarrassing at the moment. You must be prepared to face certain disagreeable and difficult situations. They will show up the minute you begin to study. It is a process of purification in which the consciousness is throwing off certain negative parts of itself. When the body throws off poisons physically, we have sickness; when the soul starts throwing off poisons, we also have disturbances. 

These frequently take the form of difficulties with persons around us, financial problems, and temperamental difficulties. The thing to be remembered under such circumstances is that the paying of these debts by speeding up karma cleanses the subjective nature and prepares it to receive metaphysical instruction. 

Therefore do not be surprised if some of your difficulties multiply themselves. It is encouraging to remember that the wisdom of nature never permits any individual to be confronted with insurmountable obstacles. Many fail in their problems, but this failure is not due to any lack of their possessing the potential power to succeed. Generally the problems which confront the metaphysician are adjusted to his increasing consciousness, and if he will live what he believes he will find the obstacles rather quickly dissipated, leaving behind only a wealth of experience and a deeper appreciation of values.

Rethinking Therapy Settings: Insights from "Redpill Psychology"

What can possibly be happening in the minds of men sitting in female dominated space, box of tissue at their side, with a woman saying “tell me how you feel” about this or that? Even worse, asking such probing questions with the implication that he is an empty emotional vessel in need of her redemption. Lea Winerman, a staff writer for the American Psychological Association asks us to “imagine the Marlboro man in therapy.” Imagine instead a therapy office in the boiler room of a ship, in a workshop, a park, a building site, mechanics shed or a sports locker room, with seating arrangements that allowed men to sit at 45 degree angles or side by side — engaged in some kind of task if they wished.           Imagine too if we were to engage in some kind of typical male play or industry – not just Jungian sandplay or water-color art therapies as suits the more effeminate sensibilities of women, but hands on therapy – while driving a truck, fixing the engine of a ...

Positive Relationships

Positive relationships are the cornerstone of psychological well-being and happiness. In the same way that a well-tended garden produces beautiful flowers, a well-nurtured relationship can bring joy, contentment, and fulfillment to both partners. According to research by Seligman (2018), individuals who are in positive relationships are less likely to experience depression and anxiety, and more likely to report higher levels of life satisfaction and overall happiness. To cultivate a healthy relationship, effective communication is key. Communication is like the soil in which a plant grows. Without it, a relationship can wither and die. Positive communication promotes understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. According to Johnson (2019), successful couples use positive communication techniques, such as active listening and non-judgmental validation, to strengthen their relationship. Tips for building healthy relationships include spending quality time together, expressing gratitude, a...

Prayer Mantrams and Invocations

Mystics in olden days used to say that the spark-light produced by the glow-worm would have its existence for centuries and centuries, and would float in space and expand; and that not only that light, but also every voice that is projected would continue its existence in some way. We know that nothing in the universe is lost but only transformed, transmuted into different forms and expressed again in different ways. If not an atom is lost, it means that not a single energy wave is lost; and if not a single energy wave is lost, it means that none of our emotional and mental waves are lost; and if they are not lost, they continue their good or bad effect upon human conduct and life.  When we depart from our beloved ones, we use nice expressions, such as “Good journey” or “We wish your success” or “May God be with you.” With these words we impart to them a protective aura or an inspiring wave, a source of sincere joy. It is for the same reason that so many fathers and mothers pray th...
