Spiritual Gardening By : Bob Makransky The time when humankind decided to move from silent knowledge to reason was the same time it moved from hunting and gathering to agriculture. However it is possible to apply much silent knowledge to the practice of agriculture – hence these lessons. Spiritual Healing By : Mike Brown What is Spiritual Healing? Spiritual Longing and the Path of Forgiveness By : Mashubi Rochell A heart that longs for love, and that longs to find the way home to God, opens a pathway of light from the human, embodied self to the soul that exists eternally in the realms of spirit. Spiritual longing not only activates spiritual growth and transformation, but also activates the healing of any and all inner blockages to love that may exist within your being. At some point on the spiritual journey, we are led to the path of forgiveness. Spiritual management technique leads to stronger sales By : Valerie Minard Val had tried all the sure-fired methods to encourage her team to make higher sales. Nothing seemed to work until she gained a spiritual perspective. Spiritual New Age Parapsychology Books - or perhaps Mind Body Spirit! By : Gau-Ghan If we look at the terms new age and spiritual, we find similarities, where spiritual refers to soul or spirit and new age has been described as 'of or relating to spiritual and consciousness raising movements'. New age books encompass health, medicine, philosophy, religion and the occult. And yet, the term new age was only coined in recent decades, mainly from the 1970's. So that begs the question - is there such a thing as a New Age? Spirituality - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 96 ) By : John Harricharan A few weeks had gone by since my return from the land of mysteries. To me, this ancient place always conjured up visions of fiercely armed warriors charging across the plains to do battle with opposing armies. It is interesting to observe how some of the most awesome experiences of one’s life could quickly fade into vague memories. Such was the case with my Indian “adventures” as I fell into the routine of daily life again. Every now and then I’d think of Gideon and Marla.... Spirituality Information - Bad Things Will Always Happen To Good People. By : Vishwriter God loves ordinary beings. That is His strength. He does special things for good people. He will help you meet with an accident, he will take away everything from you, he will ensure that you get into deep trouble.... If you think i am insane here you probably are right but God is not... He knows how to play His Game and take care of his beloved ones here on earth.... Bad things will Always Happen to Good people. Here is reason why..... Good people carry out their day to d... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan 's Interview With Terri Marie (Q5) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: And much more, which I’m delighted about John. Do you believe then, that we are predestined to meet certain people in our life journey? John Harricharan: I do not take kindly to the word "predestined." And let me explain why, not because it’s a bad word but I would like to put it in context “Is the oak seed predestined to become an oak tree. “ The answer is yes and no. If it’s planted, if its nurtured, if its -- if it has it’s share of sun and rain and... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan 's Interview With Terri Marie (Q6) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: And we all can help each other. I loved your analogy of the book and the pages and time. I -- that really made it clear that we could be doing many-many other things with our souls that we’re not aware of in our normal consciousness, and when we go through a different consciousness we can find that. Do you -- I know from your best selling “Morning has All Night Been Coming,” but also especially your first one in the series, “When you can walk on water and tak... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan 's Interview With Terri Marie (Q7) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: Well, there you go. You have just stripped away all the essence of all the other stuff and come to a simplicity part of it again. I like the way that you did that John. As well as writing books, you also like poetry. Why do you like poetry? Is there anything special or anything that poetry can give us that’s a little bit out of the ordinary? John Harricharan: It is almost akin to music, I think poetry in its own way is music and you do very well writing... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan 's Interview With Terri Marie (Q8) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: Wow John, you just answered about three of my questions all-in-one. I was going to ask you, how you guide yourself, what you tell yourself, but you just answered so beautifully and I know that when people go to the Spiritual simplicity site, there will be a lots of resources, when they do get feeling down and need a little help, because we all need a little help somewhere along the path. If there were -- I’ve got a little bit different question for you now, Jo... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan's Interview With Terri Marie (Q1) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: I would be honored to do that, Vish. It's always a great pleasure to talk with my good friend, John. And John, I can't wait to ask you some of these questions. I've been saving questions up for a long time, and I have three pages. I know we're not going to get through them all today, but I wanted to at least give the listeners a taste of the incredible wisdom and insights that you have. So I'd like to start with -- when did you first realize, John, that t... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan's Interview With Terri Marie (Q2) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: And I can’t wait to tell, it’s launched in the very, very near future and I know it’s going to be great. You’ve talked a lot about energy and how the universe is made up of energy. And I believe our goal is to get to the higher vibration sets where we can attract more of the things that we desire. How do we get to the higher vibrations? Can you give some simple steps or some guidelines to point people down the path towards raising their energy vibration? ... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan's Interview With Terri Marie (Q3) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: I know. I thought you were going to say three millennium. Well, that leads me to something -- I am going to ask some questions that are maybe a little bit off the beaten path. But I know if anyone has an answer it will be you. And you were just talking about it's all one energy and we're all one world connected, and I believed that as well, but then how do our individual soul fit into the process of life? John Harricharan: My initial thought to that, my ... Spirituality Information - John Harricharan's Interview With Terri Marie (Q4) By : Vishwriter Terri Marie: Well, that was a very interesting and insightful answer as always, John. And I'm always happy to hear what you have to say about the questions that -- I'm thinking and I'm hoping other people are thinking. That brings me to another question. There's been some talk about and people are looking are looking for a purpose in life. But some say that there is no purpose in life. We create our purpose. What do you believe about that? John Harricharan: It's si... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 1 ) By : John Harricharan Perhaps, in the never-ending search for meaning, not only does meaning seem to elude us, but we find ourselves faced with the eternal questions of life. Why do roadblocks always appear at the most inopportune moment? Where is help when we are down in the arena and boots are on our necks? Why am I here and where am I going? Will I ever again see my loved ones who have died? And so it goes . . . on and on. Although no one could satisfactorily answer such questions, there is som... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 15 ) By : John Harricharan “Well,” I asked, “what are you doing in this neck of the woods? I know you just didn’t happen to be passing by? You must have something specific in mind — that’s why you’re here.” “He seems to know us only too well, Marla,” Gideon said with a wink. “But then again, John, we don’t always need a reason to see you.Friends, no matter where they are, love to get together just for the fun and enjoyment of each other’s company. You’re a dear friend of ours and we love your compan... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 16 ) By : John Harricharan Gideon took another sip of coffee, leaned back in his chair and looked at me through half-closed eyes. “It’s been such a long time since we’ve done any fun things together. Marla and I have checked with others in the company and they’ve all agreed that we should take you along on one of our travels. Even the Chief thought it’d be a good idea.” “A trip? Super! I’d really love that!” I said, bubbling with anticipation. Those who worked for him always referred to the Presiden... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 17 ) By : John Harricharan “That’s one of the main reasons we’re back with you,” said Marla.“There are other reasons, of course, but this is by far the most important. By the time we’re finished with these adventures, there’ll be no need for us to work with you in this way and you’ll go on to finish the task you had set for yourself.You’ll sing your song, you’ll accomplish your mission, you’ll fulfill your destiny, so to say.” “One secret you say? Only one? Aren’t you aware that as we approach the e... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 2 ) By : John Harricharan Somewhere between New York and London at 39,000 feet above the earth, my heart was at peace while my exhausted body and mind took the opportunity to rest. I had just successfully completed a one-week, business trip, which had taken me from one coast of North America to the other, then over the Pacific to down under in Australia. Mission accomplished in a few days, it was back to the United States and then over the Atlantic to London. Now I was returning home, filled with a... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 23 ) By : John Harricharan My father once told me the story of the Ambrose Stone. He never mentioned from where it got its name, but said that it was a stone infused with miraculous power. If you touched a sick person with it, that person would be healed. If you slept with it under your pillow, you would have dreams of the future and would be more able to plan your life in a way that would be most beneficial. The Ambrose Stone, my dad said, would bring its owner, love, joy, peace, health and prosper... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 29 ) By : John Harricharan “Just a friend dropping by. Do I have to have a reason?” “I guess, you’re right,” I said. “I used to think that I had quite a few friends, until I couldn’t be of much use to them any longer. I thought they stayed around me because we cared about one another. But when things really got bad for me, they disappeared so fast you’d think they vanished into thin air.” “So you were mad at them because they didn’t stand by you?” he asked in his best cross-examination manner. “W... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 3 ) By : John Harricharan I recalled my first flight as a teenager leaving one country for another to continue my education. The excitement of foreign adventures was mixed with the sadness of leaving my family. As the plane took off and the northern coast of South America dropped below the horizon, I remember brushing a small tear off my cheek, yet smiling at the glorious possibilities of exploring a new, fascinating and sometimes frightening world. It would be years before I would see my family again... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 30 ) By : John Harricharan Gideon’s comment made me realize we all need to be reminded every once in a while that this is a just and orderly universe. We are safe in it and any appearances to the contrary are just that — appearances. It’s the way we interpret what we observe that decides how we’ll meet the situation. “So you’re reflecting on this, eh?” “Tell me glorious, mysterious secrets of life, Gideon,not simple stuff about friendship and medals.” “Mysterious secrets?” He had a look of mo... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 37 ) By : John Harricharan It wasn’t too long before we were riding in a colorful cab headed toward the hotel, about half an hour away. I was anxious to get to the beach and looking forward to enjoying the sun and the sea. Actually, most times at the beach, I prefer sitting under a large shady tree gazing forever at the horizon where the ocean meets the sky. It is by the sea that I hear the whisper of the universe, the songs of the stars and the melodies in the wind. It’s always good to go down to t... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 4 ) By : John Harricharan Clouds hold a special attraction for me, especially when I’m flying above and can enjoy them from this unique perspective. They seem so angelic, so pure, so easily shaped into sculptures of the imagination wherein one can read all sorts of strangetales. I watched the Volkswagen beetle cloud as it began shifting its form into wispy little alphabet letters. At first, vapory patches seemed to break away and almost disappear before my eyes. This strange cloud seemed to have a wil... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 43 ) By : John Harricharan I pulled on my sneakers and it wasn’t more than a minute before I took the elevator to the lobby. Island life is so informal that I felt totally at home. The restaurant was across the street, a short distance from the hotel.It was built in such a way that those who occupied the best seats enjoyed an unobstructed view of the ocean. By now it was becoming dark,that strange darkness that suddenly descends in the tropics, making you think that someone had abruptly dropped a cu... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 44) By : John Harricharan “Oh, in about ten minutes would be fine,” said Gideon, and, turning to me he continued,“I hope you don’t mind, I ordered earlier so it would be ready whenever we were. I asked them to prepare your favorite dishes,John. Just a special surprise for you.” Jarvis smiled and left. “Now, John,” continued Gideon,“you were telling us about a romantic situation. Was that the one with Kimberly or was it Cindy?” I was stunned. “You knew about that? I never told anyone. It was Kimb... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 45) By : John Harricharan Gideon knew exactly what I’d like for dinner. There were curries of various seafood like grouper and arapaima served with roti. Side dishes of chutneys, samosas and island bhajees complimented the steaming rice biryani. In the center of the table, Jarvis placed a bowl filled with succulent guavas, mangoes, sapodillas and papaya. “Enjoy your dinner,” said Jarvis as he left. “Everything looks good,” I commented, “and the coffee smells heavenly. Thank you, Gideon, this is ... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 5 ) By : John Harricharan It had been a number of years since I last saw them. We were sitting on the back porch discussing a letter they’d brought me from a friend. Since then, no word, no communication, no sign from either one of them. It was almost as if eternity itself opened up and swallowed them forever. With these thoughts in mind, I pressed the button for a flight attendant. I had the greatest urge for a steaming cup of coffee. It couldn’t have been more than a few seconds before a flight a... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 50 ) By : John Harricharan “If you’re referring to their physical qualities, John, that wasn’t the reason. Physical attributes change. A beauty today may not be a beauty tomorrow. There is something much more important than physical characteristics. It’s something of the spirit. Coming from deep within, its expression overshadows everything else. It’s an attraction of the soul, that invisible part of you that has always been and always will be. That’s how it was with Peter, the stock- broker and Carlos... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 51) By : John Harricharan She quickly shot back, “Do you think of Kimberly every once in a while? And do you wonder what it would have been like if the two of you had decided to pursue a relationship?” “Yes,I do. But those thoughts don’t occupy every waking moment. Now and then I’ll close my eyes and see her on that beach. Sometimes the vision is so strong and clear that I can almost sense her in my arms and feel her lips against mine. There was that electric spark from the moment we met. I guess i... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 52) By : John Harricharan “Of course, I liked it. But it’s just that you’re, well... you know... it’s that you are...” She interrupted, “It’s just that I am Marla, right?” “That’s it, Marla. That’s just it. If you were an...” Again she finished my thought, “...an ordinary person. You were about to say that if I were an ordinary person, it would have been fine.” She took my hand and started walking back to the hotel. “If I were someone you felt comfortable with at all levels, you would have th... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 57) By : John Harricharan “Just a little of this and some of that,” he replied with a teasing smile. “And how do you two know each other, Matthias? I thought Gideon had very few friends,” I kidded. “He has friends all over the cosmos,” Matthias replied. “He and I have had quite some adventures together. We go way back. It’s a long story.” Gideon laughed and announced in a matter-of-fact manner, as if he were telling me about the weather, “Matthias is what you’d call an angel, John. He’s o... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 58) By : John Harricharan “You better believe it,” continued Matthias. “Now we are permitted to dress whatever way we see fit — mostly to fit the assignment. Once I got my wings caught in a clump of trees. You should have heard me swear. You think I can’t swear, huh? Well, I’ve been to all kinds of places and met all sorts of people. I’ve learned their languages well. You should hear me swear in Bantu. You’ve got to be good with languages, you know — part of the requirement for getting into angel scho... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 62 ) By : John Harricharan And so, my mind ran from one topic to another as I packed for an upcoming trip. My work sometimes takes me overseas,to different cultures, peoples and places. This time, business was taking me to the land of my ancestors,a land of contradictions, the mysterious subcontinent of India. It would not be my first visit to that country. I’d been there before, as both my children were adopted in India — Malika first, followed by Jonathan a few years later. I had the opportunity, ... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 63 ) By : John Harricharan With the last minute details completed, I was on my way. Time seemed to ebb and flow into hours and days as airports, planes, flight attendants and taxis blended in harmony to transport one solitary traveler to his destination on the other side of the world.Day ran into night and night seemingly stretched into eternity as we droned across the oceans and continents. I must have fallen asleep a number of times before the flight ended. Half groggy, and feeling as though I’d e... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 69) By : John Harricharan “Our kids, silly.” She giggled as she took my hand, just like she used to, and led me to a spot behind a clump of trees. Pandayji remained behind with Marla and Gideon, engrossed in conversation. “What are our kids doing here? And how come Pandayji is here?” I questioned. Before she could answer, I saw Malika and Jonathan in the moonlight. “Hi Dad,” shouted Malika, “we wanted to surprise you, but Jonathan gave it away.” “No Dad,” Jonathan countered, “she spoiled the ... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 76 ) By : John Harricharan “Good to see you again, Pandayji,” I replied as I seated myself across from him. I was anxious to ask him about his experiences in the meadow, but thought I’d wait a while. Over breakfast, we discussed my schedule for the week and agreed there would be enough free time to visit some interesting sites in the north, if I felt like it.Still not a word from him about last night, so I brought up the subject.Since I wasn’t sure whether the whole event was the result of my overactiv... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 8 ) By : John Harricharan I glanced at my watch, noticing we had less than an hour or so before touch down. Dinner had just been served, but I had no desire for airline food. Not far from the airport is a café-style restaurant where I frequently stop when I travel. I thought I’d stop there on my way home and grab a bite. Seeing Gideon again after all these years had rekindled in me a great curiosity about life. Much had changed since the first time I met him. While on a business trip, his car had brok... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 9 ) By : John Harricharan New Age prophets and their religious teachers spoke of various convergences and impending disasters around the turn of the century, of fire and earthquakes, famines and floods. And then there were those charismatics, wiser in the ways of the world of commerce than their more esoteric cousins, who preached the gospel of “the laws and the profits” and all their brethren were amazed at how well they prospered. And so it was as the jet neared the coast of North America, I refl... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 90) By : John Harricharan Trivandrum is a little city in the south of India. It faces the sea and, though sweltering during the day, is cooled in the evening by the gentle on-shore breezes that circle the tip of the sub-continent. It was years since I had visited that small city with Pandayji, but I vividly recall the spontaneous, gregarious nature of its population. There were fishermen and farmers, soldiers and sailors; merchants hawking their wares, strangely dressed figures riding horses, shouting... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 92 ) By : John Harricharan Gideon then apologized to the manager.“Please excuse my friends. They didn’t mean any harm. Sorry for the inconvenience and commotion. Anyway, they’ll be leaving soon.” The manager seemed only too anxious to agree to anything that would return tranquillity to his restaurant. He thanked Gideon,bowed,turned and left with the two nervous guards in tow. Marla spoke up, “You always seem to have this effect on others, Kamal. Maybe, you might try to be a bit more cordial? No need... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 93 ) By : John Harricharan “This whole story seems so confusing,” I replied as Kamal beamed a disarming, boyish grin,“it seems as if you’re ageless. They speak as if you were born centuries ago. And yet, you don’t appear to be a day older than I. I just don’t understand.” “Things are not always what they seem to be, my boy,” replied the Terror. “Gideon taught us that appearances could be deceiving. People are afraid of what they do not understand. And when they’re afraid, they want to destroy or run... Spirituality Information - Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 94) By : John Harricharan “I will go now,” he said as he snapped to attention. “Much to be done. Duty calls and all that. It was wonderful seeing you again, Gideon. And Marla, I still wish to take you away and make you my princess. Are you sure you ... ?” Marla interrupted,“Not this time, Kamal. But keep trying; I like it.” “I bid you good evening, John,” he said. Then he looked at Pandayji and continued, “It was good to see you, Pandayji. Let us get together in Trivandrum soon. There is a quain... Spirituality Information - The Black Crow Which Never Went To The Doctor By : Vishwriter My son, Vignesh turns six tomorrow. Two years back when i had some serious illness i had to visit the doctor every other day. I used to take my son with me to the doctor. As i was recovering from the illness, one day out of the blue he asked me " Appa(Dad) why do you go to the doctor again and again? Tell him to give you something so that you dont ever have to go back to him........" It cheered up all the patients in the hospital . I also had a hearty laugh.... But that night... Spirituality Information-A Matter Of Sight And Insight By : John Harricharan I want to tell you a little story. It happened during my first year in college. I was sitting in my room, late one night, studying for a chemistry test. Tests seemed to be a major part of my life in those days. I longed for the time when I would never have to take another quiz, study for one more test or await the results of final exams. I took a break from the chemistry book to reflect on the injustices of life. The food in the cafeteria seemed designed for nutrition a... Spirituality Is A Lifestyle By : Roy E. Klienwachter We are all spirit by nature; therefore all that we do is spiritual. However, being spiritual is a lifestyle that we create while we experience the physical world. It doesn't make us more spiritual. Spirituality Moves You Away From Your True Self By : Roy E. Klienwachter In the process of trying to become something, you lose sight of your true nature, of who you really are. In the process of being spiritual you move away from spirit. You are your true self when you are... Spirituality: The True Essence of Our Being By : Randi G.
