The Power of Vipassana for Presence | Eckhart Tolle on Meditation Practices

Look at Psalm 77, verses 7 and 8 and 9, where the writer is bold enough to question almighty God! Who is writing this? Oh, it is Asaph! He wrote Psalm 73 too, which has been on my heart much recently. He is a writer with profound insight and penetrating spiritual perception.

As Christians, we spend a lot of time in Bible studies, and that is wonderful. But do we spend enough time in prayer?

We like to measure everything. How do you measure love? Yes, we can measure.

True Knowledge, what is it really? Is it based on pre-supposed faith, hope, conviction, principles, ideas, coveted religion?

Meditation brings healing for mind and body, and opens our hearts to experience love – and really, you can’t get much better than that! But when you have no experience with meditation, it can feel intimidating, or even a little weird! Like walking with a trusted friend, a guided meditation takes you through the process so you can learn how it works.

Tea has the power to illustrate God within the person who faithfully drinks of it. It can bring the person to visualize God in his or her eyes and show the Presence of God within. Yet blind faith is good; the person should still not see most other things.

True salvation inevitably brings with it some level of true repentance toward a transformed mind, goals, and manifest behaviours. We not only think differently, we start to act differently too, as we seek to live in a more morally-accountable way.

As Proverbs 25 continues the breakaway from the Sayings of the Wise, and begins a specialisation all its own (Kings, finery of character, and dignity to name a few) we get a glimpse of the end of the corpus. It’s at this point, of course, where the Greek Septuagint (LXX) version of the Scriptures goes a little haywire in the order of the proverbs, compared with what’s documented for us in today’s Bibles.

We usually think of the pain Jesus had on the cross. It was extremely painful. He had to lift himself to take a breath. Most of us do not realize that he was near death before he got to the cross. The scourging he received may have been more painful than the cross.

Pythagoras said that numbers are alive and are building blocks of the universe. Laws of quantum physics tend to validate his statement.

Spirit Guide or Spirit Group? As we move along our own spiritual path we will engage different beings to assist us. Even if we aren’t aware of them we attract certain energy based upon what we need at the time to help us rise up.

What exactly differentiates Religion from Spirituality? Religion- if it forms the core of the physical manifested world… it is the Spirituality (the truth of our Soul within) which upholds the values in the society. One can live without Religion but not without Spirituality for Spirituality forms the core of very existence of every living being.
