Yesterday I talked about the fascination for ‘guruism’ that I often see in the west. And it is not only there, here, too, people who have nothing else to do often easily become preacher and then become a Guru by finding followers and disciples. If you can do a few magic tricks it will even work faster.
I saw in the west that there are also many people who don’t know what else to do or don’t want to do anything else and then they often have the idea to announce themselves as healers. And they announce that they have extra abilities that normal people do not have. Of course this is something that nobody can prove.
I know also that some healers give strange answers when asked about their healing. If it fails to work and a patient comes and asks, there is always this kind of explanation: healing works with trust and if it didn’t work, you didn’t have enough trust.
Additionally these people are often good talkers who can tell stories about past lives which they can heal and similar things which nobody can know anything sure about. I have written about it before but I believe this is a serious and important topic because people have fear of many things like this.
Please go into your heart, find the love there and then look around you to find reality, no matter what past life was there or which doubts were created about your beliefs. You are you, you have your love, god will take good care of you, in this you can trust.
It is getting more and more cold now, we have again taken out warmer clothes for winter and now the teachers started giving classes outside in the garden, where the sun warms the backs of the students while they are learning.

Sometimes trust is the key to so many issues, but in this case I feel as if it's just a ploy to ward off criticism instead of accepting truth and telling the truth...and with that being said sometimes truth no matter how painful it is, is a better healer.

I confess. I once pretended to channel a friend's dead father to tell her that he loved her and accepted her. I think she knew I wasn't really doing it, we both knew. But I think it would be very easy to become respected spiritually, it is a system like any other system or business but people can be so hungry for it. People who normally act very much in order sometimes throw everything away just to believe in something a little spiritual. The problem of the false guru exists everywhere in the world.

Believers should study their belief. Find out in depth what is written in scriptures and if you find things you don’t like, ask yourself if you can really blindly accept them as religion asks you to.
Source‘You should not judge’ is often used by masters and Gurus to keep their disciples and followers from questioning what they are doing.
SourceThe western system fails – it calculates money but emotions have no space in that equation.
SourceOfficially, all Indians are virgins when they marry.
SourceIf you see a friend being pulled into a sect or a group that has bad practices, tell him what you think about it but in the end you have to let him believe what he wants to believe.
SourceBeing spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.
SourceReligion makes women inauspicious and depicts them as usable objects, as second-grade citizens who belong to men and should obey.
SourceFollow your teachings yourself. Your teaching only has power if you live it yourself with your honesty. A smoker cannot give a lecture about the harm of smoking.
SourceI always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.
SourceMost people are focused on the body. Understand that you are not only the body.
SourceI love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.
SourceWhatever your belief is, give your child as much freedom as possible to decide on his own. If you force a child into one belief, you don’t give its mind the possibility to develop in its own way.
SourceGive your child your love over your touch. You create a deep trust in this baby that you will be there whatever happens.
SourceWhen two people meet and decide to have sex and decide on the next day that they want to have sex with a fully different person, it is their private matter – as long as they don't cheat anyone, wear a condom and don’t spread any diseases!
SourceDon’t be shy to sing when you feel like it. It is a wonderful expression of your emotions and it opens the fifth chakra, the communication chakra.
SourceThe karma philosophy makes it easy to escape responsibility!
SourceIf you live in love, you are spiritual.
SourceIf you made a mistake, don't follow your ego. Accept the truth, even though you were wrong. Don't live for your ego.
SourceImportant is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceYou belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
