Barbara Herbert

The challenges our world faces today seem almost impossible to overcome. We often look to our leaders—religious, political, and spiritual—to make a difference, but they do not have the power to overcome every issue. Instead of looking outside of ourselves to make change happen, it is time to start looking within. Each of us has the power—as well as the responsibility—to change the world.

Jiddu Krishnamurti talking on "What is a Spiritual Life"

 

A religious life, not all the religions, not the monks and all that. They are not religious. I know they would abhor me when I say that. I will show it to you logically why it is not. It is all put together by thought. The invention of god is put there by thought. It is simple. All this is clear when you understand the activity of thought.

Radhanath Swami

Richard Smoley

The Tarot deck is one of the mainstays of the Western mystical tradition. But some facts about its symbolism have remained uncovered until now—especially about the 22 cards known as the Major Arcana. Taken from French esotericism, these findings cast important new light on the relation of the Major Arcana to the Hebrew alphabet and sacred geometry.

Barbara Hebert

Reincarnation has been a topic of great interest to many individuals through the years. It has moved from a forbidden topic to a subject that is casually discussed in daily conversation. More than this, however, the ancient teaching of reincarnation provides us with direction for living our daily lives and offers insight into the often confusing and tumultuous world around us.

Ravi Ravindra

Any spiritual seeker will have asked questions such as: Who am I?, What am I?, Is the death of my body the end of me?, and Is there anything that will endure beyond death?

Juliana Cesano

 

For a self-interested mind, always wanting and never still, there is no cure for restlessness and unhappiness. However, teachers of different traditions have spoken of a way that leads beyond the confines of this conditioned mind. How can we, in this demanding modern world, follow their precious advice and find what we are really looking for?

Richard Sell

With a world falling ever more under the sway of illusion we need help coping with our perception and reaction to this crisis. Jnana Yoga has much to offer, not only in our personal spiritual journey but in practical matters pertaining to living in the 21st century, a time of acute stress and change.

Tim Boyd

A central fact of life is that all living things experience death. For the reincarnating being the experience of death is something that has been repeated countless times. Why then is this common experience so widely misunderstood and feared?
