Why do you not try to understand more? Empty your head now at this present moment, what do you find? Is there nothing? If so, that is good.
Now focus rapidly upon the Spiritual Man above the head, allow for a resonance to occur, retain your empty mind.
Now while empty become expectant of some sort of communication from the Spiritual Man, the Spiritual Man relays abstract realities.
If you are in some way already starting to embody the Spiritual Man, then there will be a channel of communication already available to you, because you will be manifesting some aspect of the Divine Plan into humanity. Do not put yourself down with the thoughts of ‘it is not very much’, that does not matter because no matter how small you think

Become acquainted with the Spiritual Man during the day by, at times, emptying the mind and focussing above the head. You need not be in meditation, how you would separate that from everyday life, so it can be with eyes open. This aspect of meditation needs to be clarified somewhat. The way you have been impressed from birth, taught and learnt, places your mind in a separate state of reasoning, you compartmentalise everything as being a separate activity. Now you can reflect upon this by thinking about your activities, meditation is assumed to be done when one has time, and mostly there is a clear need for this to happen, but it tends to be down the pecking order somewhat. At some point your will realise the need for it, you will have an inner urge towards it, and initially it will be to gain some sort of control over life and, in particular, yourself within life, and you will see it as a separate part of your life in the way you think about it. It is something not dissimilar to going to the gym, you adopt the same attitudes, also you could separate the activity of meditation and going to the gym as being separate from each other, other than you are the one participating in both. How far from the truth this could

    In the annals of American religious history, spiritualism sits uncomfortably alongside fundamentalism and other conventional forms of religion that command largest portion of scholars’ attention. Ann Braude’s Radical Spirits was one of the first narratives written that documents this important but slighted movement. To the surprise of both nineteenth-century observers and contemporary scholars alike, spiritualists were consumed by the prospect of communication with the dead. Braude provides examples throughout her work of how this group of unique individuals channeled the dead through spirit mediums and/or in séances. She also provides examples detailing individuals’ claims that the dead responded with thumping, knocking and involuntary writing, and how the departed have made personal appearances in the form of spirit control and manipulation during hypnotic trances.…

    The Six Meditations by Descartes offer valuable insight into the differences between the mind and the body. Through his discussion he demonstrates to us that the mind and body are two distinct things that could potentially exist without one another. The dialogue Monday Night puts many of the claims made by Descartes through many tests. They question many of the ideas that Descartes presents, and both explain and shoot down his ideas. The ideas demonstrated in the Meditations are confusing and absurd and don’t prove a distinction between the mind and body.…

    A key question that should be answered is, “What is the goal of the spiritual development plan?” In order to develop a healthy plan, the person’s motive must be pure. The goal should not to be a better person or for any self-piety; rather, it should be done to seek God alone. Robert Mulholland, Jr. states that spiritual formation is “the process of growth from a false identity as a pervasively self-referenced being to the true identity of a pervasively God-referenced being” (p. 221).…

Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
