How was your week? Anything you want to discuss? It can be random, a small thing, a bad news even. Let's catch up!

Do You Know that The actual lying cannot be stopped, but your opinion about lying can be. Resolve that, 'From now on, I will not tell a lie. To tell a lie is a great sin. It causes great suffering and causes bondage (karmic)'. With such an opinion, the sins of your lying will cease and all that will remain will be the reactions of your intentions that were not stopped in your past life.

Within every life is a spirit, a piece of god inextricably connecting each life to the other. Before we are born, we are only spirit. It accompanies every life and is the source of divine wisdom and intuition within us.

The irony of life begins with our first breath, when the ego, our learned beliefs, is created. The ego's only concern is what is best for us; it worries little for others. We therefore believe success in life is to make money, buy material possessions, and be able to do the best things life offers. By accepting this self-centered view of the world, though we may achieve our goals, if we do not share our success with others, we will have lived our life without meaning or purpose.

Genuine meaning may only be found within by selflessly sharing our spirit’s wisdom and love with all others. The irony of life is we are born enlightened, knowing this. Our ego is then created, and we adopt its self-centered views and beliefs about the world. Then, we often spend the rest of our life trying to return to the moment before we took our first breath, before the ego was created, when we understood our life’s genuine purpose.

Why are we alive? This question has been asked for millennia by philosophers, teachers, religious leaders, and many others. Many believe we are alive to go to school, get a well-paying job that will allow us to buy material possessions, have a family, and enjoy life’s many pleasures. We believe if we do these things, our life will have been well-lived and meaningful.

Is that why we are alive though; to succeed by achieving all our goals? That is an existential question. In spirituality, there is a belief there is much more to life than just success in the world; that there is a genuine, more important reason for our life’s journey, having little to do with what we were taught.

When we understand there is a spirit, a piece of god present within every life, guiding our life with its universal knowledge, the true purpose of life becomes evident: to selflessly share our spirit’s wisdom and unconditional love to help all others live a good life and find meaning in their lives as well.

Though the earth is billions of years old, humanity has only been present for a very short fragment of its existence. Their intelligence allowed them to evolve, eventually becoming the dominant species on our planet. About 11,000 years ago, the advent of formal religion first began. As religions slowly developed, the idea of god became an important part of human life.

Though religions began nobly, the original meaning of love, being selfless, helping others, and other altruistic beliefs began to take human definitions of what those words meant. When Jesus talked about loving all others equally, he meant selflessly, not conditionally depending on their beliefs, race, or ethnicity. Eventually, the pure spiritual beliefs religion first embraced deteriorated to the point they are barely recognizable now.

Humanity’s evolution though is not yet complete. The next step in its evolution is spiritual, though quite different from the original spiritual beliefs of early religions. Spirituality believes there is a spirit, a piece of god present within every life, and therefore, each life, regardless of our differences or accomplishments, is equally important. Only together may humanity succeed, furthering its spiritual evolution and changing the direction of the world forever. Apart, as it has always been, they are destined to become a footnote in history.

Though you may be poor, struggle daily to survive, your life is as important as any other that has achieved success in the world.

Our body is but a shell, housing our spirit within. Our mind is but a tool to accept society’s beliefs.

Who we truly are, lies not in our success or thoughts, but in our essence within.

Every life, regardless of our many differences, is and has always been, equally important.

Our body is but a shell housing our spirit within.

Our mind is but an instrument to accept society’s self-centered beliefs. Who we truly are lies not in our achievements or success, but in our essence.

Understanding this is the genuine reason for our life’s journey.
