The Responsibility When one hears mediums constantly speak of the large number of guides that they may have, or of the illustrious personalities on the other side with whom they are frequently in contact, it may be that the medium is suffering from a large dose of ego. We are responsible for our own spiritual growth, which can be heightened by continual prayer and practice, as psychic ability is no guarantee of spirituality. It is only after a medium has reached a point of maturity in his development, and has acquired a certain degree of mastery over his psychic faculties, that he is able to distinguish what is genuine from what is a product of his unconscious mind. www.indigosun.com /May02/responsibility.htm   (1162 words)

Humility as a Way of Life An effective way to cultivate your spirituality and lessen your ego is to put yourself into the service of another. Even though ego has convinced us that it is generally better to receive than to give, most people discover that their true nature is to feel more comfortable with giving. It usually indicates some degree of ego reduction. www.innerself.com /Spirituality/humility.htm   (1225 words)

Creation Spirituality and the New Story Many of today's Creation theologians or "geologians" focus excessively or exclusively on the message of Nature and the voice of the ego or conscience unenlightened by God's law, thereby leading their followers away from the one most important solution to our environmental crisis: Creation is permeated with a redemptive sanctification, even a divinization.

Dissent It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to 'That Which Is Within.'" Usually pagan influenced spirituality centers will sponsor all of Enneagrams, Centering Prayer, and Labyrinths. This spirituality has much in common with pagan Wicca (Witchcraft), which is also focused on worshipping creation. The following types of spirituality are defined and presented so that one may see their influence on dissenter spirituality. www.ourladyswarriors.org /dissent/index.html   (2083 words)

FAQ: alt.recovery.panic-anxiety.self-help Often through the training, acceptance, meditation and healthier life changes one goes through to overcome panic, one also gains the sense of a "higher" or greater "world-self" -- a kind of spirituality that gives one the gift of ego reduction. But the ego cannot be destroyed -- such an expansive maturing process will inevitably come back to encompassing one's ego with the same love and zest one develops towards others and the world while maturing. What's more, the ego is fairly small, but can be so monotonously and grandiosely demanding that it can make one loose one's zest for the world. www.pahealthsystems.com /message252277.html   (6551 words)

Ken Wilber - Is the New Age just Talk? And the same is true for ego transcendence and spiritual growth: it is a difficult, painful, prolonged process of growth and development. Their spirituality remains at the level of literary chitchat, of talking religion. This is the growth, evolution, or development from egoic to trans-egoic, from rational to trans-rational, from personal to trans-personal, from individual to spiritual. www.kindredspirit.co.uk /articles/3445_wilber.asp   (6551 words)

RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming Finally, the superego tempers the utopian spirituality of the superego so our physical lives may continue while at the sme time reinging in the ammoral id so that one does not descend into a pure beast seeking only to survive and satiate the body, which is kind of Orc-like, isn't it? Our higher spiritual self (superego) can stay true to itself because it is not hindered by mortality much like the elves, the Id is purely atavistic not immoral but rather ammoral because it is the animal part of us which lives in a world of survival or ultimate death. I found your comparision of men, elves and orcs to the Freudian concepts of ego, superego and id to be an insightful and valid analysis. www.rpg.net /forums/phorum/pf/read.php?f=65&i=584&t=582   (297 words)

Indic Philosophy and Western Mind/Body Dualism When the body and ego are not well, the spirit cannot embrace the body or ego and the person is almost literally “not himself,” since he is not in contact with his spirit. So, although Eastern philosophy is usually considered to be encompassed by spirituality and mystic thought, the Samkhya school reserves mysticism for the soul and does not apply it to either the mind or the body. It is assumed that everyone has, on the Nature side of the division, (body and mind/ego) all three gunas present within themselves and the potential for all to be in proper balance. strangerbox.topcities.com /indic.html   (1469 words)

Guru Rinpoche III I want to be the first one to achieve realization of Mahamudra, realization of Dzogchen." We have a complete sense of "ego-trip." On the other hand, although we are taking an ego-trip again, this time it is in the name of spirituality, in the name of liberation and enlightenment. We are trying to reflect on the buddhadharma, trying to see the nature of egolessness and trying to be a better practitioner than all the others. Yet, that ego-trip itself has enormous wisdom and expresses an extraordinary desire—ego is desiring the path of egolessness. www.bodhionline.org /guru_rinpoche_iii.html   (1572 words)

THINKING ALLOWED TRANSCRIPT - ARTHUR M. YOUNG With me today is Arthur M. Young, inventor of the Bell helicopter, the first commercially licensed helicopter; founder of the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, California; and developer of a theory of process which relates all of the known sciences with mythology, spirituality, and psychic experience. YOUNG: Well, I think the ego is essential, and it ultimately can flower into what you could call, what Jung calls, the personality -- you have these terrific personalities like movie stars and so on, after you've evolved sufficiently. YOUNG: Well, you might not have the same sex or the same ego in different lifetimes, but you have an ego, just the way you get a new automobile, etcetera. www.thinking-allowed.com /young1.html   (3472 words)

Life's Three Stages: Infancy, Ego, and Transcendence; Michael Washburn interviewed by Paul Bernstein There are Gnostic and dualist traditions that look at religion basically as an otherworldly, disembodied affair and regard instinctuality on the one hand and spirituality on the other as being in conflict. Eastern religions tend to say that our "ignorance" is the cause of our alienated or unenlightened condition, while many Western forms of spirituality say the cause is Sin. Washburn -- a philosopher who integrates psychology with religion -- asserts that who we ordinarily think we are (our ego) is only a part of our experience. members.tripod.com /~pbernste/life3.htm   (7215 words)

- all comments Buddhism seeks to transcend ego through egotistical practices thereby reinforcing the ego that the practice seeks to eliminate. I disagree, however, that Buddhism is a form of spirituality that teaches avoidance of the material world. He also feels that the fundamental difference with these New Age religions and Judaism is that the others (ie Buddhism) tend to focus on the individual and/or self and thereby ignore the oppression, abuse and struggles that exists in the world around them. www.aish.com /components/feedbackTracking/comments.asp?aN=1964&pn=1&rpp=25   (2811 words)

Whirling Dervishes The first part: The dervish with his headdress (his ego's tombstone) and his white skirt (his ego's shroud) is, by removing his black cloak, spiritually born to the Truth; he journeys and advances there. The rituals of Rumi's followers (Whirling Dervishes) are among the enduring as well as the most exquisite ceremonies of spirituality. The fourth part is the "dervishes" greetings to each other and their thrice-repeated circular walk "Devr-i Veled," with the accompaniment of music called "peshrev." It symbolizes greetings from soul to soul, which are concealed by shapes and bodies. www.turkish-embassy.si /whirling_dervishes.htm   (1799 words)

Depth Psychology & Soul Work - The Pearl Beyond Price Almaas looks at spiritual awakening as part of a developmental continuum that begins at birth, includes the various stages of ego formation and deformation, and can continue beyond ego to the highest states of mystical consciousness. In integrating psychology and spirituality, Almaas sees himself as part of an emerging Western tradition, following in the footsteps of Freud as well as the Buddha. Drawing on his own introspection and more than a decade of work with hundreds of students, Almaas has developed the Diamond Approach, a technique for self-realization that embraces both modern depth psychology and ancient spiritual traditions in an attempt to address every aspect of the human soul's development. www.ahalmaas.com /essence/flory.htm   (1749 words)

No-Free-Will and Entheogens   However, this is largely a symptom of our time; Timothy Freke's Encyclopedia of Spirituality must be vigorously applauded for putting a surprising emphasis, *compared* to ordinary spirituality books, on entheogens and no-free-will: it's surprising and shocking to find this in a vigorously New Age-styled book. For creating a basic theory of the ego death and rebirth phenomenon, I take the best ideas from Wilber, from Valentinus, from Plotinus, from Grof, from Tart, from Maria Sabina, and throw the rest in the garbage can. The pure, simple, ideal, source of religion is the use of entheogens to encounter block-universe determinism with all its myriad ramifications, often mythically allegorizing such an encounter and interpreting other mystic's allegorizations. www.egodeath.com /EntheogensNoFreeWill.htm   (1749 words)

Radical Therapy Roland believes our access to the soul consciousness never disappeared, but became buried beneath the formation of our ego consciousness, and the only way back is through the layers of fear and pain that we created. The ego consciousness, according to Dr. Roland, is created out of a belief that we must change parts of ourselves in order to be loved and accepted in the world. Our mission is to serve as a resource and guide to information on spirituality, holistic health, metaphysics, personal development and conscious living, with articles, interviews, reviews, advertising and the best regional events calendar, classifieds and resource directory online and in print for Portland alternative lifestyles. www.newconnexion.net /article/03-02/radical.html   (1749 words)

Integral Psychology A second meaning of "displacement" is the device of disguising unpleasant realities to which we cannot admit (and therefore repress) by consciously stressing something else which is not so embarrassing to the ego. is a transpersonal psychology that encompasses the full spectrum of human experience, from the trauma and pathology, which demands healing, to the individual seeking integration, inspiration and spirituality. He saw that, although psychology and spirituality are distinct domains, those engaged in a spiritual search often need psychological help in integrating their experiences. www.meaningoflife.i12.com /psychology.htm   (7602 words)

Frances Vaughan: In the Meantime ... While traditionally the goals of goals of enlightenment spirituality and psychotherapy have been at odds (enlightenment teachings aim at subverting or transcending the ego, while psychotherapy aims at supporting or healing the ego), transpersonal psychology is now attempting to reconcile these differences and to offer new answers to perennial spiritual questions. Disciplined spiritual practice under the direction of a spiritual teacher, if one was serious about enlightenment, was still understood to be the most credible approach to the spiritual path. Many of those we have looked to as the highest examples of spiritual attainment have left a trail of corruption and abuses of trust, disillusioning disciples and onlookers alike about the reliability of spiritual authority as well as the ultimate meaning of enlightenment. www.wie.org /j14/vaughan.asp   (1539 words)

Hesychasm and Jesus prayer and gregory palamas and barlaam and book of job Central to understanding Eastern Christian spirituality in the Hesychast tradition, a tradition that goes back to the Desert Fathers of the Fourth Century and was systematized and developed by Gregory Palamas and Barlaam in the 14th centuries, is the notion that it is a journey of the soul to God through a three-step process. This is harder that you might think, and the Hesychasts recognize this, but is an essential part of the transformation (Greek "metanoia") from an "ego-centered" to an "ego-transcendent" life. This process will be similar to the five-stage mystical process articulated by many Western mystics--awakening, purgation, illumunation, dark night of the soul, and union with God-- but it uses different vocabulary. www.willamette.edu /~blong/EvenMoreWords/HesychasmI.html   (773 words)

Walter J. Ong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ong's account of visualist tendencies suggests that personalized ego consciousness is somewhat distanced from the archetypal level of the human psyche through visualist cultural conditioning and the development of a greater sense of inwardness. Ong here is studying the historical development of personalized ego-consciousness, not the archetypal level of the human psyche (described by Robert L. Moore and Douglas Gillette in their recent series of five books). But today instead of referring to a mystique, we would probably speak of a spirituality. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Walter_J._Ong   (2668 words)

C. G. Jung and Numinosity Jung and Campbell believe that the first type usually leads to self-aggrandizement as the ego identifies with a spiritual power (or powers) which are less than God. Jung says that, depending on the strength and attitude of the conscious ego, an encounter with numinosity may be positive or negative. But his work is often regarded as a milestone for Western discourse on spirituality. members.rogers.com /earthpages3/articles_numinosity.htm   (2668 words)
