Quote of the Week 23 - Selfless Love and Self Preservation

The most powerful force in existence is the power of selfless love.
The second most powerful force in existence is the power of self-preservation.
In between these two stands the ego, the sense of separate self.
When ego focuses on the power of selfless love, it moves towards sainthood; you’re part of the solution and all is well.
When ego focuses on the power of self-preservation, it moves away from sainthood; you’re part of the problem and all hell breaks loose.

Quote of the Week 22 - The Purpose of Spiritual Practice

Many spiritual aspirants have a misconception that the purpose of spiritual practice is just to achieve divine bliss, divine ecstasy and divine oneness.
These are just partial benefits. The purpose of spiritual practices is to accelerate the evolutionary development of the soul so that the person can be of greater service to mankind and the planet Earth.

Quote of the Week 21 - How the Soul Leaves the Body

Different methods of how the soul leaves the body either when the body is asleep or when the person is meditating:

The first method is the Roll-over Technique. When the body is sleeping, the soul simply rolls over and out of the body.

The second technique is the Swinging or Pendulum Technique. The soul swings to the left and then swings to the right until it swings out of the body.

The third technique is the Inner Sound Technique. The inner sound becomes extremely loud and the inner consciousness is pulled out of the body through the sound, by listening to the inner sound. The sound is like a very loud buzzing sound, louder than the sound of a jet plane engine.

The fourth technique is the Spiraling Technique. The soul just simply spirals out of the body. The Inner Sound Technique is usually accompanied by the Spiraling Technique.
