The Nature of Mystical Experience

James C. Wilhelm, Contributor Waking Times Thousands of books have been written about mysticism over thousands of years, and this essay is a mere 1,012 words.

The Eternal Now

Julian Websdale, Contributor Waking Times There is only really the Eternal Now and that Now exists in the beginning and also in the end of the standing wave that we call physical existence and evolution, which means that time is cyclical.

Within the Range of Possibilities

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times When a small, but potent, percent of the population is ready to expand their range of possibilities and validate new information, putting aside the ego’s opinion in favor of exploration, then change for the many is possible.

How to Induce Lucid Dreaming

Julian Websdale, Contributor Waking Times A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming.

Well Bodies, Open Minds – Today Would Be Good

Linda George, Contributor Waking Times Having studied naturopathy and holistic healing for over 30 years now, and practising (for the most part) the principles of healthy living – I have to say, I’m depressed.

10 Ways to Shift Your Consciousness

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.

Expanding Our Awareness to See a Multi-Dimensional Reality

Paul Lenda, Guest Waking Times We perceive Reality through our senses which convince us that the way in which we experience the world around us is exactly the way it exists.
