DAILY INSPIRATION on Spiritual Growth 10 Simple Ways to Raise Your Level of Conscious Awareness January 31, 2013 by @dieselpokers What does it mean to become more conscious? It is the progressive realization of conscious mastery over your mind. The challenge is that it takes consciousness to grow consciousness. Awareness begins with acceptance. 1. Truth raises your consciousness. First, accept the truth. Secondly, speak the truth. The more you’re able to accept and speak the truth, the more conscious you become. Yes, there may be consequences when you switch from lies and half-truths to the full truth, but highly conscious people know that crossing that bridge is well worth the effect. 2. Courage raises your consciousness. Courage is the gatekeeper between unconscious growth and conscious growth. A powerful guiding principle to adopt is, “Whatever I fear, I must face.” 3. Compassion raises your consciousness. A great way to become more conscious is to search for signs of unconscious cruelty and disconnection in your life. 4. Desire raises your consciousness. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. via

7 Differences Between Religion and Spirituality A lot of people mistake Spirituality for Religion or some mysterious, supernatural occurrence. Some even think of it as a sect but this is because of their lack of knowledge and their fear of being manipulated.

Una antropóloga en la luna: blog de antropología.: Antropología de la vejez: el destino de Sidarta. "Es totalmente falso y cruelmente arbitrario poner todo el juego y el aprendizaje en la infancia, todo el trabajo en la mediana edad, y todos los pesares en la vejez." Margaret Mead. “La vejez es particularmente difícil de asumir porque la habíamos considerado siempre como una especie extraña: yo, yo me convertí en otra, mientras que sigo siendo la misma” Simone de Beauvoir. Simone de Beauvoir, en su libro "La vejez" cuenta: "Cuando Buda era todavía el príncipe Sidarta, encerrado por su padre en un magnífico palacio, se escapó varias veces para pasearse en coche por los alrededores. -"Que desgracia - exclamó el príncipe -, que los seres débiles e ignorantes, embriagados por el orgullo propio de la juventud, no vean la vejez. Buda reconoció en un anciano su propio destino porque, nacido para salvar a los hombres, quiso asumir su condición total. -"¡Que idea...! Justamente por eso escribo este libro: para quebrar la conspiración del silencio

Sentences that can change your life CUIDADO CON EL SUFISMO El sufismo es peligroso, profundo, quebrador, vertiginoso. Ésta era una advertencia amistosa que siempre se hacía al que mostraba deseos de iniciarse en un arte para el que había que estar muy preparado. En muchos casos, en la actualidad el sufismo no es peligroso ni arriesgado: es una tontería. En el mundo musulmán había un tesoro extraordinario, el sufismo (y afortunadamente todavía lo hay, y sigue existiendo con una vitalidad bulliciosa). La gazmoñería y la frivolidad con la que muchos occidentales se asoman desvergonzadamente al sufismo están perjudicándolo de modo grave.

Además, en Occidente, la gente tiende a ‘realizarse espiritualmente’ escuchando sermones, discursos y conferencias. Para ser sufí hay que ser ‘severamente’ musulmán. Hemos dicho a la cabeza de este artículo que el sufismo es peligroso y arriesgado.

6 personajes históricos que no fueron tan buenos como todos pensamos Puede que, por lo que nos han enseñado o por lo que hemos investigado sobre ellos, pensemos que los personajes que veremos hoy eran buenas personas. Sin embargo, aunque hiciesen cosas buenas por la humanidad, no quiere decirse que fueran perfectos en todo lo demás. Particularmente siempre me repito a mi mismo una frase que siempre dice mi madre: “ni todos somos tan buenos, ni tan malos”. De hecho, hoy descubriréis que personas que predicaban ideas relacionadas con libertad y el progreso eran increíblemente racistas o maltratadores. Estoy convencido de que cuando conozcáis los trapos sucios de todos estos personajes, empezaréis a mirarlos con otros ojos: Mahatma Gandhi maltrataba a su esposa, era amigo de Adolf Hitler y era racista No hay duda de que las protestas pacíficas de Gandhi dieron forma al mundo en el que vivimos hoy. Patrick Henry mantenía encerrada a su esposa en el sótano Thomas Jefferson tenía otra familia con Sally Hemmings, la cual nunca reconoció
