Dreams
Dreams are symbolic expressions of the unconscious (and of the total psyche). A phylogenetically older form of thought. The dream is a fact of objective nature and therefore not a disguise. (Sugar in the blood means sugar and nothing else.) It is its own interpretation and is only misunderstood when we don't fathom its symbols. The manifest aspect is the dream images themselves, and they contain the "latent" meaning. It's not what causes a dream, but it's purpose, that matters.

Inspirational
Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.
Giacomo Puccini.
Inspiration is a sustainable internal glow which PULLS you forward.
Giuseppe Mazzini |

Mind Matters
For thousands of years, the subject of psychology involved the study of the human spirit, soul or mind. This involves things and functions not obviously visible to the physical senses.
What would a study of the mind entail? It would investigate the nature, functioning, and potentials of man's inner and invisible mental activity. It would also investigate the actual source of the problems anyone experiences with their own mind. |

Meditation
Meditation is a process that leads to a state of consciousness that brings serenity, clarity, and bliss.
Meditation is a means of transforming the Mind, and developing 'concentration' and 'attention'. |
36 |
Metaphysics
The dictionary states that metaphysics is the philosophy that joins mysticism and science.
In other words, it is applied spirituality.
It literally means "after the physics".
Perhaps one could state that it relates to a reality beyond what is perceptible to the known senses. |

Natural Law in the Spiritual World
Henry Drummond elaborates on how the Natural Law in the Spritual Sphere has gradually grown throughout every department of knowledge, except one - that of Reilgion.
He also answers the objection that the material of the Natural and Spiritual worlds being different, must be under different Laws. His work finalises with the thought: The Spiritual is not the projection upwards of the Natural; but the Natural the projection downwards of the Spiritual. |

Mysticism
Mysticism, is not an opinion: it is not a philosophy. It has nothing in common with the pursuit of occult knowledge. On the one hand it is not merely the power of contemplating Eternity: on the other, it is not to be identified with any kind of religious queerness. It is the name of that organic process which involves the perfect consummation of the Love of God: the achievement here and now of the immortal heritage of man. Or, if you like it better--for this means exactly the same thing--it is the art of establishing his conscious relation with the Absolute. |

Motivational
Sometimes a distinction is made between positive and negative motivation. Positive motivation is a response which includes enjoyment and optimism about the tasks that you are involved in. Negative motivation involves undertaking tasks because there will be undesirable outcomes, eg. failing a subject, if tasks are not completed. |

Personal Growth / Self Help
The term 'personal growth' may refer to traditional concepts of education. Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgement and wisdom.
But it is also associated with the New Age. This New Age movement is particularly concerned with spiritual exploration, holistic medicine, and mysticism, yet no rigid boundaries actually exist, making the term point to its own perspective on history, philosophy, religion, spirituality, medicine, music, science and lifestyle.

The Power of Concentration
We all know that in order to accomplish a certain thing we must concentrate. It is of the utmost value to learn how to concentrate. To make a success of anything you must be able to concentrate your entire thought upon the idea you are working out.
Did you ever stop to think what an important part your thoughts, concentrated thoughts, play in your life? This work shows their far-reaching and all-abiding effects. Theron Q. Dumont |

Philosophy
Philosophy is a quest for a comprehensive understanding of human existence. The objective of philosophy is to consider the rational justification of logical inferences, human values, criteria for establishing the claims of knowledge and certainly, and intepretations of the nature of reality. The diverse insights of significant philosophers from ancient times to the present contribute resources to stimulate contemporary philosophical thinking in each of these areas. |

Beyond Good and Evil
This work, by Friedrich Nietzsche, (translated by Helen Zimmern) examines the topic of Good and Evil from the stance of the philosopher, the human aspect and also from the instance of Spirit. It scrutinises perceptions of morals and virtues, and perceptions of peoples and countries.

Relationships
What are relationships and how do they evolve? What qualities within a relationship are most important to you? What are the responsibilities inherent in any relationship? Do males and females have different expectations about relationships?
In relationships where intellect and emotion clash, the heart often has the greater wisdom.

Spiritual Healing
Healing is a completely natural process. Effectively it is a flow of beneficial energy between the healer and the recipient which deals with "dis-ease" at the deepest level and frees your natural resources to work in the most effective way for you.
Basically, spiritual healing is a technique that uses subtle energies, directed by a person's consciousness. |

Spirituality (Soul Consciousness)
Spirituality is living one's life from the realization that the body/mind/ego personality we have been taught to identify with is just one little drop in our bucket.
Our spiritual journey is interpreting the precious meaning of this unique life given to us and, recognizing and living this Oneness, brought to us in many forms by the great teacher, Life itself, in its various crises and transitions.

Spiritual Growth
Spiritual growth is the process through which our soul becomes conscious, and therefore more dominant on the earth plane. It is also the greater purpose of our Soul to master this Earth life. By the term “master” it refers to the ability to experience oneness with All-That-Is, which leads to the full realization of all our creative abilities.
John L. Payne. |

Freedom of Life
INTERIOR freedom rests upon the principle of non-resistance to all the things which seem evil or painful to our natural love of self. But non-resistance alone can accomplish nothing good unless, behind it, there is a strong love for righteousness and truth. By refusing to resist the ill will of others, or the stress of circumstances, for the sake of greater usefulness and a clearer point of view, we deepen our conviction of righteousness as the fundamental law of fife, and broaden our horizon so as to appreciate varying and opposite points of view. The only non-resistance that brings this power is the kind which yields mere personal and selfish considerations for the sake of principles.

How to Live Quietly
SO universal is the habit of blaming circumstances or other people for the troubles of our own lives that I know a strong assertion of the fact that the source of all trouble lies entirely within ourselves will meet with contradiction and resentment from many readers. It takes courage to look to one's self entirely for pain which seems to be caused by others, but if once we do it, and are thoroughly clean-cut about it in every thought and word and action, the release from bondage seems almost miraculous.
