Your Path To Enlightenment Begins With The End Of Your Ego

Article by HipsterJenkins Freely

Very few of us north americans are all that worried about being much more enlightened, much more spiritual people. After all, life is excellent, most of us have plenty of money compared to people in the rest of the world and most of us live a well rewarded, fulfilling existence filled with accomplishment and free of every day trials.

Even so, it seems, that the opposite is correct. Demand for astral travel information is at an all-time high. While the majority of us don't have any real complications, a few of us, myself included, lack a sense of purpose, a sense of direction and possess the unavoidable feeling that we are here for reasons that are outside of our fingertips. There is a listlessness that comes with these feelings. There should be some thing else, there should be a greater purpose and there should be one thing beyond what I can touch!

There is something beyond the physical and there is a way to discover it. It is not necessarily simple nevertheless it's very simple. You need rest, meditation and separation in that order.

You see, to be able to discover a higher level, the psychic realms or mystic encounters you'll need first to find contact with your inner self, your spiritual being and your small voice, your conscience. That is an experience that transcends merely listening to your thoughts, although thats a great start, it entails a close personal examination of self.

Further to that, it's required that 1 should give up all perception of ones self as the center of all things. It involves liberating your spirit and your self image to the winds. It entails baring your self along with your soul to the universe and unburdening your thoughts.

In short, you must release your vanity, give it up, send it packing, tell it, say see ya later. Why is this so essential? Because its the answer to evolving your spirit, your soul to the point where you can begin to totally value the other side.

This is a life time journey, however your initial adventure wil! l be dis tinctive. However it also implies that your meaning of success will also need to evolve. You perception of morality, you concept high mindedness and the higher road will also by natural means evolve with each new adventure.

Psychic inspiration and enlightenment go hand in hand with this natural impulse. However, be conscious of the selfish tendency however to state to your self emphatically, I've done it! I've achieved it! Although you are definitely likely to feel a brand new type of joy while you cross the threshold be wary of the comfortable, self indulgent feeling of accomplishment. That's the wrong direction.

Enduring bitter cold Monday morning, a Westminster firefighter battles a blaze at the Lao Buddhist Temple. The building was a total loss. (Steve Nehf, The Denver Post) WESTMINSTER — Brutal cold mixed with cold reality for members of the burned-out Lao Buddhist Temple of Colorado on Monday as they mourned the potential loss of artifacts saved by generations of worshippers. "It's not good, it's not good at all," said an exhausted Tom Pong as dusk fell over the remnants of the temple. "There is lots of history, over 100 years of it, and it could be lost forever." Pieces charred or melted by the fire — which started just before 6 a.m. — included several Buddha figures.

Nydahl, who is known as Lama Ole, is expected to arrive Monday. He is scheduled to give a talk at the University of Washington later that day. Novoselova, 29, felt drawn to Diamond Way Buddhism as soon as she met Nydahl. She remembers that very first lecture. She was 16 and living in Yekaterinburg, Russia, when her older brother brought her along to the lama's talk. "I immediately felt at home," she said. "I had all these ideas about the world, and, suddenly, everything came together." At the end of that lecture, she accepted a blessing
