Spiritual journey

Entering the Spiritual Realms

As of now, I'm still unable to have an out of body experience (obe in short), even though that's my main intention - and I make special care every night before falling asleep to affirm the intent.

Since then, I've stumbled upon many article explaining or listing the dangers that are to be expected in entering the "spiritual world"

The last one I read was from Simona Rich - check www.personal-development-coach.net/awakening-kundalini-and-spirit-contact.html

And this lead me to more reading and learning... because as for all activities, there seems to be a positive and negative aspect attached to it.

I also continue to read (or listen) to Rudolf Steiner lectures - and the recurring message  is that we live in a materialistic era, and therefor we are ignoring the spiritual, which in turn lead to manifestation of spiritual conflict in the physical world (i.e : War, economic collapse, crisis, etc ...)

Finding the balance 

On one side ... too spiritual
One the other side ... too materialistic.

To fight off the materialistic aspect I keep a few simple rules
- no meat
- no TV
- no gossip talking
- reading a lot of spiritual books (essentially Rudolf Steiner)
- listening to enlightened people (mostly from youtube channel like Ma Nithya Sudevi, Teal Scott, etc ...)
- doing shadow work
- practicing meditation
- keeping a journal (and this blog)

The benefits so far (this is what I gained) :
- Being patient

- The importance of observing
- More learning
- Staying flexible
- Helping people around
- Being nice
- Gaining in discipline

So my humble conclusion is that If nothing has happened yet, that's because I'm not ready yet

Rudolf Steiner - How to Know Higher Worlds: We live and act within a world whose deeper aspects are hidden from our physical senses. Yet each of us possesses other faculties which, when cultivated, can lift the veil that separates us from spiritual knowledge

A Modern View: A Rough Spiritual Training Guide: Here is what the current top level of research has uncovered about spiritual training: There are four levels of reality 

Beyond ignorance is enlightenment, but enlightenment does not necessarily confer Liberation. It may only pertain to the Intermediate Zone. Indeed, many gurus are not authentic Sadgurus, but rather are only at the level of the Intermediate Zone, although they think they have attained the highest realization. There is also however the Fake Guru, the Superficial Guru, and the Delusional Guru, who lack even that partial awakening, and are totally limited to the outer personality and surface mind and feelings. These individuals either maliciously or genuinely set themselves up as gurus, in order to benefit from the money to made in the New Age supermarket (through getting people to enroll in expensive workshops), and in the case of the sincere ones believing they have something of benefit to confer. But even those latter who do, still present only a very limited understanding relative to what can be attained in true liberation.
