The Energy Trail

that energy trail - it really is that simple. Whatever you invest your energy in comes alive.

Clue #2 - Let go of evidence that doesn't make sense
This is part 2 of following the energy trail - which is to let go of anything that drains your energy levels. Let go of any thoughts, activities, beliefs, behaviors or people that don't serve your soul's purpose. Notice which people drain your energy levels, and what activities suck the joy out of your life, and let them go. This might be the hardest part of the process for a lot of people - it brings up all kinds of fears, but this step is crucial to finding and following your Dharma.

Only when you can let go of what doesn't serve you, can you let in what your soul is seeking. Your soul is

So pay attention to accidents and illnesses – they might be telling you something. Slow down, or even better – shut down everything else, and go within. Listen. Ask for guidance. Your soul always, always guides you through the next step.

And the last clue - Clue #5. Ask questions

Asking lots of questions is the mark of a good detective, and also of a spiritual seeker. When you feel fear come up, ask where it's coming from, and why. When you notice a limiting thought or belief that comes up, ask what might have caused that thought or belief. When you feel jealousy or uncertainty, go deeper to figure out why you might be feeling that. Most of those doubts and uncertainties come from your mind, based on its past experiences or past life experiences. So going deeper and asking questions like why, how and where allows you to question the fear, or envy or guilt, or whatever you maybe experiencing.

I believe it's an incredibly rewarding experience to go within on your own inner journey to find and fulfill your soul's mission for this life - your sacred Dharma. Life after life, you come to answer the one question every human soul has - "who am I?", and get a little closer to the answer, while you learn your many life lessons. And each time you reveal the

In terms of Om it is said, “ The essence of all beings is the earth, the essence of the earth is water, the essence of water the plants, the essence of plants man, the essence of man speech, the essence of speech the Rig-Veda, the essence of Rig-Veda the Sama-Veda, the essence of the Sama-Veda the udgitha, Om.

    Keith Oatley and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi argue that one experiences “flow” when they participate in activities that are both active and engaging. Furthermore, only these activities can be enjoyed. Such activities can range from singing and dancing, to watching a movie and excercising. Personally, I experience flow when I am reading an engrossing book. I ignore events transpiring against me, in a sense losing consciousness, and I complete Oatley’s requirement of becoming one with the book that I am reading.…

    Religious Immortality and Transcendence In efforts to collect data regarding religious groups and their views on immortality, the Pew Research Center writer, Joseph Liu, found and stated that, “No religious group in the United States has released an official statement on radical life extension” (1). In the United States, religious organizations have kept us guessing on whether immortality is healthy or unhealthy. Despite this, it is possible to draw conclusions on how religions may view immortality from their teachings and beliefs.

    The Bhagavad Gita recounts the story of a battle over control of a land known as Hastinapura. Arjuna, leader of the Pandavas, stands on a battlefield opposite his kin, the Kauravas, and turns to the Lord Krishna for courage.

    The Transcendnt Analysis

    When not in the transcendent state life must then be dominated by the lower self, wherein we surrender to the self-programmed habitual reaction to events and circumstances. In daily life, then, when we do not know what to do we look to others for direction. The lower self is always looking for the reassurance that all is well. When not established in the transcendent we can never come across the new for we are always clinging to the old. According to Krishnamurti, the transcendent can only be brought about by understanding that “meditation is the constant understanding of the way of life” and that this can only be secured by the process of observation (Krishnamurti 1968).…
