Stuart Wilde Waking Times Wu Wei is accepting life and not forcing it. It is being aware of the ebb and flow of the seasons, aware of the spirituality of all things, aware that in the great abundance of the God-Force, there is no time. It is knowing when to act, and not acting until …
Michael Hayes, New Dawn Waking Times Ever since my formative years, when I first began to think in concepts, I have always been confounded by the mystery of human existence. By and large we all tend to take this consciousness of ours for granted, but for me it has always been a source of wonder. …
Dr. Stewart Bitkoff, Contributor Waking Times There is growing interest and dialog concerning differences between traditional religious teaching and a form of spiritual practice termed: everyday spirituality or spirituality of the market place.

Marc Oromaner, Contributor Waking Times Ever since Darwin published his infamous On the Origin of the Species in 1859, science and theology have been at war over the theory of evolution. The irony is that evolution and all its aspects—natural selection, survival of the fittest, genetic mutations—all appear in the Bible as clear as day. In fact, even …
Paul Lenda, Guest Waking Times In moments of stress, anxiety and other intense harmful mind states that we experience within our lives, it can be difficult to keep our focus on positive personal development.

Osho, Osho Times Waking Times Death is already happening. Death is an absolutely necessary process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend. Death is already happening. Whether you face it or not, whether you look at it or not, it is already there. It is just like breathing. When …
Soren Dreier, Guest Waking Times I haven’t been writing that much lately. I decided to go stealth for a bit. So I contemplated a while under the Bougainvillea. Sometimes the best way to plug-in into the vastness of the universe is to go introvert, which pretty much could support the reality I subscribe to: It’s all …

V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times Note: This is the second part of a II part series by V. Susan Ferguson. Please review part I, here. I have taken the off-world position of reading the Sanskrit texts through the eyes of an ancient astronaut, and interpret them through the filter of the more current science …
Steve Pavlina, Guest Waking Times What exactly is an event? An event is something that happens at a given place and time. An event is essentially a point or interval in space-time. Place and time are both relative concepts. To define a place, you need a reference location. Places are defined by relationships, such as by coordinates (relative to a coordinate …
V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times Note: This is the first part of a II part series by V. Susan Ferguson. Please review part II, here. Earth is only one of hundreds of colonies in our galaxy, which is home to 100 billion alien planets. Now is the time for this self-evident truth to be accepted! …
Julie Umpleby, Contributor Waking Times So much of the new Age movement is heavily invested in connecting us with the Goddess, The Divine Feminine and the great mysterious power of our feminine energy. I’m not saying that this isn’t a good idea, however too much of a focus on just one aspect without its polar opposite …
Colin Bondi, Contributor Waking Times Who are you? You might say, I am Mary, or I am John, or whatever your name happens to be. Yet when you were first born, you didn’t have a name much less any of the other ‘stuff’ that gets attached to it. Your parents or guardians selected a name …
Steve Pavlina, Guest Waking Times In the early 1960s, Yale professor Stanley Milgram conducted a serious of famous psychological experiments to measure people’s obedience to authority. A volunteer was instructed by an experimenter to help administer a simple test to a subject in another room. Cards were drawn to determine which of two “volunteers” would play each …

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times What was I listening to when I was sixteen? Cultural programming, or a message for my higher self? I’m thinking about one of my favorite songs of the time: “Soldier Boy” by the Shirelles. The song seems so simple, but to me it’s embedded with something very precious and beautiful… …
V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times The Matrix as Prakriti produces the hologram for the Oneness. The external world of objects is ‘real’ enough to the five senses. The five senses transmit signals/waveforms of sound, light, etc. to the brain, which acts as a receiver. These signals carry the appearance of duality, differentiated multiplicity. This …
Steve Taylor, New Dawn Waking Times Enlightened people are like spiritual dynamos: they have a very strong presence which touches the people they come into contact with, transmitting something of their enlightenment to them. Even people who aren’t at all “spiritual” usually feel a sense of well-being in their presence, and so feel attracted to …
