Julian Rose, Contributor Waking Times People behaving like birds should mark a step forward in the evolutionary capacity of the human race. After all, birds sing melodiously at dawn and dusk, swoop majestically in the open sky, and build their nests using only their beaks. I doubt that most humans could build such nests even using …
Chris Bourne, Openhand Contributor Waking Times Due to disruptive nature of society, it’s probably the case that with most, the lower self is separated from higher spiritual awareness at a pretty early age. Whether it be the programmed and conditioning behaviours of our parents, excito-toxins in our food or the electro-smog of modern day gadgetry, …

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times Looking at Qi vs Prana It is possible that each of these subtle energies are quite similar but some practitioners disagree.

Belsebuub, Guest Waking Times If you want spiritual change, you need to see and understand yourself.

The same approach simultaneously resolves several other major enigmas in disciplines rarely considered within the same context. By following in the footsteps …
Frank Joseph, New Dawn Waking Times Synchronicity is the most mysterious thing in the world. Synchronicity is the term parapsychologists use for “meaningful coincidence.” It happens to everyone, more often than we realise. But synchronicities are not “mere” coincidences, random accidents without significance. Going through a half-forgotten collection of old photographs, you’re surprised to find …

P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., New Dawn Waking Times There are millions of stories now of near-death experiences from around the world; each a snippet, a teaser, of what appears to exist on the other side of death. No other human drama carries quite the power this phenomenon does to unmask traditions of a “grim reaper,” and …
Chris Bourne, Contributor Waking Times It’s so easy to create illusionary realities on the path. Subtle essences of ego know how the soul is likely to act in particular circumstances. We’ve ‘seen’ what ‘Enlightenment’ looks like and a part of the soul might want to copy that. It’s kind of like an echo of the …
Belsebuub, Guest Writer Waking Times One of the most effective exercises of astral projection is concentration on the heart.

Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times Dr. Paul Brunton, in “The Spiritual Crisis of Man” – (published in 1952), wrote these words: “A million people will eagerly follow a glib leader who raises contentious clamour and leads them to ultimate destruction, when only a few people will follow an inspired spiritual leader who leads them …
Salvatore Folisi, AlterNet Waking Times What inner psychological need is met through our mass obsession with crime and prosecution? The following is an excerpt from Eros Over Logos: A Revolt of the Instinctual Mind Amidst the Madness of Modern Life by Salvatore Folisi.

Martin Brofman, Guest Writer Waking Times Everything begins with your consciousness. Everything that happens in your life, and everything that happens in your body, begins with something happening in your consciousness. Your consciousness is who you are, your experience of Being. You decide what ideas to accept and which to reject. You decide what to …
Rene’ Descartes, Contributing Writer Waking Times Separate Consciousness It may be easier for you to understand Universal Consciousness if you first understand Separate Consciousness, which is what physical consciousness actually is. You will then at least have an idea what Universal Consciousness is not. And you will be able to relate more to, and understand, …
Marie D. Jones, New Dawn Waking Times As a kid, watching the synchronised swimming competition of the summer Olympic games, I was always struck by how silly the sport seemed. Not to mention how it looked! Later, as a wise adult, I came to understand and appreciate both the degree of difficulty of getting human …
Asoka Selvarajah, Guest Writer Waking Times Each of us is connected with the Divine. The Higher Self within us far transcends the understanding of our conscious minds.

Soren Dreier, Contributing Writer Waking Times There are a lot of different angles out there, more or less new age, more or less sober, that bend the law of attraction into a washed-out cliché of a non-working law. In order to attract or manifest what we want in this life, I think a very good …
