Introduction
Since the age of 16 I have
always been interested in visions and believes of other humans, the lifeforce inside all
of us and all forms of religion. Each human will reach a moment in his life where all the
big questions popup like "what is my goal in life", "why am I here",
"why is there is much pain and horror around me" etc. For many of us this is the
day our spiritual yourney starts. The goal of this site is to help you discover useful
information and give you a way to reach your own destination in life.
So this site is for
everyone, no matter your nationality and no matter what religion you have. Be open to
other visions, explore the web and grow spiritually. Ignore people who promote violence,
hatred, discrimination. Focus on people who are surrounded by positive energy and learn
from them. And if you can help people around you with spiritual knowledge then you have
found a new goal in life.
Many more topic pages will
follow the coming months.
Wishing you all the best
during your long yourney.....

The first thing that the would-be astrologer should do is discard the idea
that all forms of astrology is superstition mingled with the paranormal which can only be
understood by mystics steeped in occult lore. Today, some astrology is presented this way,
but this is not true "traditional astrology". Did you know that Astrology was
considered science in man's early history? And some still do,with good reason (you will
find out why later). Also until just a short time ago it was considered the same as
astronomy, an extension of it if you will, and uses the same tables as do the astronomer
and the navigator. Do not expect that horoscopes (from anyone at all) tells you your
irreversible future!. We are not lame puppets dangling on some mad God's string! Though
God knows our future, rest assured we have not been stripped of our free will! Astrology
only tells us tendency, personality and probability. Though these are very strong and WILL
occur if unchecked, it is still not the end all and be all. What astrologers try to do is
to describe tendencies in the characters of individuals, to suggest dangers, challenges
and opportunities which may come to them, and to advise how to react to those
circumstances when they do arrive.

Aura
Aura
The description of the word aura means atmosphere of multi-coloured light
called "aureola" and the human aura is a multi-layered energy field that is
primarily generated by the spiritual chakra energy centres, which reside within all spirit
and what has been the perceived halo effect around the head is called the
"numbus", also a small part of the aura is made up by electromagnetic energies
that are generated by atoms within matter that give off a small energy field. The aura
reflects moods, personality and traits, emotions, general well-being, spiritual abilities
and evolution and is made up of several layers or bodies reflecting and relating to
different chakra and aspects of our spiritual and material life and nature. For those who
can psychically view the aura, it can be seen to visibly brighten and change when for
instance we are addressing others, or in some way pulling on the resources of our spirit
such as in spiritual healing or meditation or in other activities, as well as in normal
daily events of our life.

Chakra
Chakras
The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven
basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia
branching forth from the spinal column. In addition the chakras also correlate to levels
of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body
functions, and much, much more. Below is a brief description of each chakra. Now that the
chakras have become New Age parlance, there are many interpretations of their meaning and
function being bandied about. While this popularity is making the chakras a household
word, it is also spreading a lot of confusing, conflicting, and often erroneous
information. It is important to realize the chakras come from an ancient tradition, which
many New Age teachers have barely explored. The Vedas, which are the oldest written
tradition in India, (2,000 - 600 B.C.) were written largely by the Indo-European invaders
of India, known as the Aryans. The Aryans were said to have entered India on chariots, and
the original meaning of the word chakra as "wheel" refers to the chariot wheels
of the invading Aryans. (The correct spelling is cakra, though pronounced with a ch as in
church.) The word was also a metaphor for the sun, which "traverses the world like
the triumphant chariot of a cakravartin." (ruler) and denotes the eternal cycle of
time called the kalacakra, or wheel of time. In this way, it represents celestial order
and balance.

Kabbalah
The New Kabbalah
The New Kabbalah is a philosophy and Jewish theology grounded in the union
between traditional Jewish mysticism and modern rational thought. Rooted in the visionary
mythos of Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534-72), and interpreted through such modern and postmodern
thinkers as Freud, Jung, Hegel and Derrida, the New Kabbalah seeks to uncover and further
develop the philosophical and psychological significance of Kabbalistic symbols and ideas.
In addition, the New Kabbalah is enriched by comparative studies and dialog between Jewish
mysticism and other religious and philosophical traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism,
Platonism, and Gnosticism. The New Kabbalah is born out of the conviction that the
theosophical system of Luria and his followers promotes an open economy of thought, dialog
and criticism while at the same time providing a coherent and comprehensive account of the
world and humanity's role within it that is intellectually, morally and spiritually vital
for us today.

Meditation
Learning meditation
Too much stress, stress reduction, chill out, let it go, detach –
familiar phrases to all of us. Our world is fast, fun and exciting. It is also
challenging, trying, demanding and frightening. These two sides of our lives produce
stress, emotional reactions, anxiety, worry and anticipation. Our bodies and minds can
tolerate only so much of any of these. After a while, each of us reaches a saturation
point and the results become uncomfortable at best; for some it may be unbearable, even
unendurable. No magic pill is available to eliminate these feelings. The reality is, as
the wise old man said, the answer is inside all of us. To manage these universal concerns
we must go inside ourselves. Among the steps we can take is the learning and practicing of
meditation.

Near death
experiences
Near
death experiences
In the course of more than twenty years of research into near-death experiences
(NDEs), I have met innumerable persons who have had NDEs who had been moved to want to
share their experiences with dying patients. Many of them accordingly come to spend some
time working as volunteers for hospices, and in that setting they have something unique
and uniquely valuable to contribute to the patients to whom they minister. It isn't just
their telling of their NDE, though of course that can often be a part of what my friends
are prepared to share. More significant, I think, is what a near-death experiencer is
rather than what he or she knows that is the vital message that is transmitted. Near-death
experiencers are at ease about death, and this is what is communicated when they work with
dying patients. I remember a near-death experiencer who told me that although she had been
involved in hospice work for nineteen years, she had found only four occasions when it
seemed appropriate to mention her NDE to her patients. Instead, she shared her being, not
her story, and that, apparently, told her story in another way. What near-death
experiencers have absorbed into themselves and what they transmit to their patients is
"the peace that passeth all understanding." If you read accounts of NDEs,
you will easily understand the depth of this feeling of peace that comes with the
experience of dying and why it is that near-death experiencers are uniquely qualified to
transmit this knowledge directly to the dying person.
Four Types of Near-Death Experiences
(according to P.M.H. Atwater in Beyond
the Light)
A. Initial Experience A. Initial Experience--(non-experience)--involves elements such as a
loving nothingness--usually experienced by those who seem to need the least amount of
evidence for proof of survival. It often becomes a seed experience or an introduction to
other ways of perceiving reality
B. Unpleasant and/or Hell-like Experience B. Unpleasant and/or Hell-like Experience (inner
cleansing and self- confrontation)--an encounter with a threatening void or stark limbo or
hellish purgatory, sometimes hauntings from one's past. Usually experienced by those who
seem to have deeply suppressed or repressed guilts, fears, and angers. Many seem to expect
punishment after death.
C. Pleasant and/or Heaven-like Experience (reassurance and self- validation)--a
heaven-like scenario of loving family reunions, reassuring religious figures, figures or
light beings.--seems to be a validation that life counts, it is affirmative toward life
after death. Usually experienced by those who most need to know how loved they are and how
important life is.
D. Transcendent Experience (expansive revelations, alternate realities)--an exposure
to otherworldly dimensions and scenes beyond the individual's frame of reference--seldom
personal in content. Usually experienced by those who are ready for a mind-stretching
challenge.

Paganism
Modern Paganism
Paganism today Paganism is a collection of diverse contemporary religions
rooted in or inspired by indigenous traditions worldwide. Pagan religions are
characterized by Earth- centered spirituality, belief in the interconnection of all life,
personal autonomy, polytheism, and immanent divinity. Pagans value diversity, good works,
living lightly on the Earth, individual freedom, personal responsibility, community
service, gender equity, and spiritual development.
While the largest segment of the Pagan
population is Caucasian, highly educated, and middle class, Pagans come from all walks of
life. Most are avid readers with interests in ecology, creativity, and personal growth.
Many work in scientific and computer- related disciplines. Since Paganism is not an
organized movement, it is difficult to determine the number of practitioners. Estimates
range from 100,000 to several million in the U.S. alone.
Pagan religions may draw on ancient
historical practices or be entirely new. In the case of the former, Pagans look to the
beliefs, practices, gods, symbols, lands, music, and myths of a particular historical
culture and adapt them for contemporary needs. Anachronistic elements, such as ritual
violence, are rejected. Elements such as reverence for the natural world, honoring of the
ancestors, and responsibility to the community are retained. Pagan religions which are not
historically based take their inspiration from visionary, artistic, and libertarian
traditions to create vibrant spiritual systems centered in Pagan values.

Reiki
Reiki
plain and simple
Reiki is an enlightenment system and a healing art. Some focus more on
one aspect than the other. That is, some teach Reiki only as a healing system while
others may teach it only as a spiritual system. Either is Reiki. Reiki is
primarily used in the West (i.e., the United States, Europe, Australia) as a healing
system. The system of Reiki was invented and developed by a man named Mikao Usui
(pronounced Me-ka-oh OOh-su-ee) in the early 1900's. Reiki is often translated to
mean "Universal Life Energy", but can also mean enlightenment or the coming of
together of the Universal Spirit of Creation with our own. Mikao Usui trained a number of
teachers of this system. Many of those teachers taught students of their own.
There are many lines of Reiki practiced in Japan from these teachers. Usui founded a
school there that is said to maintain his original teachings. This school is called
the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. They generally are a closed club and do not share
information with outsiders. Most western Reiki practices come from the teachings of Mrs.
Takata.

Personal spiritual guide
7 years after becoming a Buddhist, I found my husband in bed with my best
friend. Needless to say I was filled with such rage. I wanted to kill them both. However,
this incident was a powerful turning point in my spiritual growth. My spiritual guide came
in loud and clear and asked me to look deeper within and find my part in in this drama of
betrayal. I began a chanting marathon at 6:00 PM. On that unforgettable Friday evening, I
chanted for hours and hours asking for insight into my co-creation of this drama. All I
wanted was for the pain and the hatred to dissolve. I lost total track of time, staying
present in every moment as I fused with the sound of the mantra, "Nam myo-ho renge
kyo." At some point during my chanting marathon something extraordinary took place.
It was my first mystical experience. My small meditation room, which was only lit by 2
candles, suddenly exploded into a vast space filled with golden light, pulsating with an
energy that felt like soft meteor showers coming down on me and all around me. I felt the
whole house I was in expand to an infinite size. I felt myself expand beyond any
boundaries I've ever known.

Sufi
Sufi order

The human soul is continually seeking to realize its true
being and fulfill its purpose in life. This can be seen not only in each individual's
yearning to realize to the fullest the potentialities inherent in his or her being, but
also in the unfoldment of our collective being towards the highest expression of human
existence. The consciousness of humanity is awakening to the interrelatedness of all life,
and this is reflected in the new holistic understanding of the universe emerging in all
spheres of human experience today. We can see this trend in the growing concern for the
ecological balance of our planet, interest in holistic health, a deeper social conscience
concerned with the plight of suffering people all over the earth, and a growing awareness
of the one underlying truth brought forth through all the religious traditions. At the
same time, recent scientific discoveries are disrupting established concepts and models of
the universe. In physics, biology, medicine, and psychology the very foundation of our
notions about life is being superseded by the realization that we are both a fraction of
the universe linked with all other fractions by resonance, and also the totality, as every
cell of our body contains the code of the whole universe. This view, in fact, corroborates
the vision of the mystics throughout history who have peered beyond the frontiers of their
separate and limited personal perspective to encompass the vaster reality of the whole.
This is the way of the Sufi, which views life in the light of the one essence behind the
surface of life, that essence revealed by all the religions. Sufism was brought to the
West from India by Hazrat Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan, who founded the Sufi Order in the
West in 1910.

Tarot cards
Tarot cards
Many people think that the Tarot is evil, a tool of the "devil"
because it supposedly predicts the future, and that what is revealed in a Tarot reading is
what is actually going to happen. This is not true at all - we do have free will,
and as the old saying goes, forewarned is forearmed. As the cards can only reveal what the
most likely outcome will be if things continue their present course, we have the ability
to change parts of our lives to effect a more favourable outcome. The future is not
written in stone - you can change the future by altering what you are doing, or the way
that you're doing it. The cards are simply a tool to allow us to see what, if anything,
needs to be changed in our lives for us to achieve our goals.

Wicca
Wicca
Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of thinking and life which
promotes oneness with the divine and all which exists. Wicca is a deep appreciation and
awe in watching the sunrise or sunset, the forest in the light of a glowing moon, a meadow
enchanted by the first light of day. It is the morning dew on the petals
of a beautiful flower, the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze upon your skin, or the
warmth of the summer sun on your face. Wicca is the fall of colorful
autumn leaves, and the softness of winter snow. It is light, and shadow
and all that lies in between. It is the song of the birds and other creatures
of the wild. It is being in the presence of Mother Earths nature and
being humbled in reverence. When we are in the temple of the Lord and
Lady, we are not prone to the arrogance of human technology as they touch our
souls. To be a Witch is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and
a protector of all things. If this path is yours, may you walk it with
honor, light and integrity.
