Thoughts as Thoughts(By Joe Naft)

Thoughts carry power: the power to create and the power to destroy, the power to understand and control much of our world, the power to guide us toward inner freedom and the power to keep us inwar…

What is the Journey of the Soul? What are your beliefs regarding those aspects of the life of one's soul apart from this present physical life? 8 Replies

I started this discussion in response to questions raised in another, on reincarnation and a soul attaching to two lives at once. It is my understanding that the soul does reincarnate, attaching to a…

Does Consciousness = God ?? 14 Replies

Some seemingly authoritative New Age teachers equate God and consciousness, the pure stillness underlying all experience. This is a fascinating and plausible view. And since God can manifest anywhere…

The Invitation by Oriah

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me

From Dom Sylvester Houédard :

Therefore I pray to God to make me free of God, - now that, perhaps, is one of the most famous sayings of Eckhart and possibly the one which has been most misunderstood, but it is exactly what Ibn 'Arabi and the whole of Christian tradition says: that the highest knowledge of God is to know that He is unknowable and to know that He is unknowable is still positive theology. It is no good knowing that God is unknowable, you have to stop knowing. To have a concept of… Continue

Graham, thank you for wise words. It is not easy to comment on what Joseph is saying. To respond with an intellectual remark seems shallow and for something else we need to be coming at the same level of understanding. One of the possible ways is pe…

How is it then that i don't comment or open up discussions regarding the weekly work that Joseph puts on inner frontiers?  Is it that it lies to close for me to get a perspective on to be able to subsequently offer discussion ? Until i look back in…
