The Birth of a Man

The birth of a man is the birth of sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in  [More …]

The window of my soul opens

The window of my soul opens, and from the purity of the unseen world, the book of God comes to me straight. The book, the rain of divine grace, and the light are falling into my house through a window from my real and original Source. The house without a window is hell; to make  [More …]

Appreciation of the Realm of Things

When you appreciate an object for what it is, when you acknowledge its being without mental projection, you cannot not feel grateful for its existence.

In the World But Not Of It

Spiritual masters agree that attachment to things of the world and the overstimulation of the external senses constitute an irremediable barrier to deeper spiritual experience. The first necessity is to break free of the pull of the world. This freedom is called non-attachment or non-identification. The pull of the world results in looking for everything and all satisfaction in the material, outer realm. It’s all too easy to get caught in the vicious cycle of external stimulation, temporary gratification, not being deeply satisfied, then craving more stimulation – thus making real contact with one’s inner nature impossible.

Contact Us

You can email us at [email protected]. Please understand that we are a modest endeavor staffed entirely by busy volunteers and largely funded by donations. Additionally, we live in a remote location with limited bandwidth. (Really, in this day and age, there still is such a thing as limited bandwidth where streaming data is a bad idea.) This means it may take us a while to respond to your query, but we will get back to you.   logo-nicer-2014-2.png
