Finding Your Spiritual Path

If you are looking for a religion or spiritual practice in life, try to find one that fits you. Many of us were born into families that have religious beliefs that just don't sit right with us and it is okay to walk away from it and explore other options that are more suited to us.

I was raised Christian but had a hard time believing in 'God'. It didn't make sense to me. I went to the library and researched and read about different religions until I found one that matched the beliefs I had already. You see I have always believed in re-incarnation, although I was never taught about it. I brought this imprinting with me from past lives. Eventually, I found Buddhism which aligned with the things I felt and believed already. I was looking for the truth and believe I found it with Buddhism. Not long after, I also discovered Shamanism and this aligned closely with Buddhism for me, so it was a good fit. I consider both of them to be spiritual paths rather than religions.

You need to search until you find what fits for you. I am not asking you to follow what I follow, that is my choice, but you may investigate those paths if you are interested. However, you need to discover where your truth is. One thing I will ask of you is to make sure the path you choose is virtuous. Be sure the spiritual teachings help you to create good karma for yourself and that they do not teach you to hate anyone or to harm anyone in anyway. If for example, a religious leader tells you to hate anyone of a different religion or different race or different lifestyle or different sexual orientation, then leave and find something more virtuous. Hating or harming anyone else only harms you more and causes your spirituality to degenerate. It will have the opposite effect of what you want. Please don't do that to yourself.

You need to use caution that the path you choose is not a fake spiritual or religious ideation. We live in degenerate times and sadly the most popular spiritual ideas are falsehoods. Anything that feeds your ego or promises to make all your desires become reality are harmful to you in the long run and will not help you ascend at all. These things strengthen your self grasping, which weakens your ability to make spiritual progress. Please be careful.

Don't be afraid to explore new spirituality, so that you can find the one that best suits you. If the day arrives that you feel you have learned all you can from your chosen path and want to find a new path later on, go ahead. You do not have to commit to only one path for your entire life. If you are growing spiritually, you need to find sources of teachings that can help you to continue to ascend. Please don't stagnate or plateau but keep striving for spiritual perfection until you achieve it. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

Live the Good Way © Podcast Episode 1 : How to Achieve World Peace

You will not find the solution to world peace out there in the world somewhere. Technology will not bring peace. Bigger, more deadly weapons will not bring peace. You cannot force people to live in peace with a military. If you are thinking that everyone else needs to bring about world peace so that you can finally have peace, it won't happen. There is nothing out there in the world that will give you world peace. Nothing out there anywhere. Ask yourself has anything out there in the world brought about world peace, yet? No, it hasn't. Technology has not given us anything that has made everyone feel peace in their hearts. Sure, it has brought us many things to distract our minds and entertain us or give us less work to do, but it has not brought about peace. If you are waiting for someone to invent something that will cause world peace it will never happen. Humans do not seem capable of agreeing on anything. So while some people may find an invention peaceful, others will...

Live the Good Way © Episode 3 The Human Divide

 More than one prophecy has been made about the division of human beings. A split seems inevitable. Some humans will seek the truth and want to invest in their spirituality, by becoming the best version of themselves that they can be. Others however, do not have this capacity and will stay in the backwards society they have developed and their lives will become far worse over time. Right now you have to choose which direction you want to go. Most people will stay behind living backwards lives, some of them not ever realizing there is a different way available to them. If you don't know what I mean by living backwards, please listen to my previous podcast “Society is Backwards” to find out what I am talking about. This divide or split is mentioned in the Bible, it is also in the Buddhist teaching of Shambala and in some Native American prophecies. There may be others that I am not aware of. In the Christian and Buddhist teachings, it tells how a small number of people will ...

The Animal Realm

We learned in the last podcast that the animal realm is the first basement level within the prison of Samsara. This is the realm where all the animals and insects dwell. Whether they are flying in the air, surviving on the surface, even underground or living in the water, all the animals and insects are found in the animal realm. The animal realm is considered one of the lower rebirths. You may be wondering why it is considered a lower realm and pictured below ground especially since there are animals all around us in this life. Surely if we are on the ground level or main floor of the prison and they are here with us, then they cannot be below us. Well, the prison with the six floors is only an image to help you picture the realms to better understand them. The animal realm is considered a lower rebirth because animals do not have the mental capacity that we enjoy as humans. They lack the ability to understand spiritual concepts and to make spiritual progress. An animal cannot ded...
