Spiritual Solutions

“Because pure awareness lies at the basis of everything, the most powerful way to change your life is to begin with your awareness. When your consciousness changes, your situation will change. Every situation is both visible and invisible. The visible part is what most people fight against, because it’s ‘out there,’ accessible to the five senses. They are loath to confront the invisible aspect of their situation because it is ‘in here’ where unseen dangers and fears lurk. In the spiritual vision of life, ‘in here’ and ‘out there’ are entangled with countless threads; the fabric of existence is woven from them.

“Two starkly contrasting visions are competing, then, one based on materialism, randomness, and externals; the other based on consciousness, purpose, and the union of inner and outer. Before you can find a solution to the challenge that faces you today, right this minute, you must choose at a deeper level which vision of life you are following. The spiritual view leads us to spiritual solutions. The nonspiritual view leads to a host of other solutions. Clearly this is a critical choice because, whether you realize it or not, your life is unfolding according to the choices you have made unconsciously, dictated by your level of awareness.”
