The environmental crisis is inseparable from the spiritual crisis that exists within the soul of most modern men and women and, is in fact an objectivization of this primarily inward crisis. Seyyad Hossein Nasr Time is running out on our ability to manage successfully our impact on this our home, Mother Earth, its environment, bio-diversity, resource and life-support systems on which life as we kn...

You should go home to your hermitage; it is inside you. Close the doors, light the fire, and make it cozy again. That is what I call 'taking refuge in the island of Self.' If you don't go home to yourself, you continue to lose yourself. You destroy yourself and you destroy people around you, even if you have goodwill and want to do something to help. That is why the practice of going home to the i...

It is said that we cannot know what Nature, The Universe, what God's will is for us, we can only pray for knowledge of that will and the wisdom to carry that out. But surely whatever that will is, at its core, it comes with kindness, compassion, love, and with grace. Is this not then the truth of any matter?

"You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success—none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here."

The patterns, dynamics, and laws that govern us in our lives, that interweave between our thinking mind and the heart’s wisdom… apply as much collectively as they do individually. When we talk about individual consciousness it is part of a whole that is embedded within humanity….of which, we are but a tiny part. To accept and understand that each of us has a profound effect on the energy of our wo...

Some quick thoughts this evening. No - is a complete sentence….don’t repeat it as you will dilute the power of the original No, this is true for all communication. Be always in integrity with your own hearts’ truth not of another - stand tall, and speak light to the darkness. You do not have to explain yourself. Let loving kindness and compassion be your guide in all things. Cherish all life forms...

Bring your focus to the bridge of your nose and feel the air physically pass in and out over the skins surface. As you breathe in and out through the nose keep focused on the air passing over the bridge. The sensation of that quality of air passing over the tip, gently in and out. Your mind will wander here and there, thats ok. At the beginning of this practice probably quite a bit of wandering mi...

There is an underpinning, a dynamic at play on planet earth, like never before and that is people reacting to the belief that there isn’t enough love for them. I don’t mean a romantic kind of love I mean the very creative force of the universe from whence we sprung and from within we are absolutely safe. We think of ourselves as so far away from that love and yet it is right here dwelling as it do...
