The Psychology of Money   This is a false statement! Money and donations to charities are not on themselves evil.   Of course with a few exemptions of those fake institutions. Remember the wolf always dress as the sheep. People who donate money to religious institutions, schools, hospitals and charities are good people by nature in general. It is how you use the money what makes it evil or not. The intention really matters behind every deed and thought. And it is recorded in the ether. But I think the root of all evil is ignorance, not money or possessions. To posses something you earned with your toil of your sacrifice is good, but to be possessed by material things is the real problem in life. Money is necessary to buy goods in Society. And Without it We could turn into barbarians and a lawless country subject to wars and fatal diseases. To me bartering is a better choice.   Churches and non- profit organizations do no produce mater...

Humanity behave like sheep, because their minds have been programmed and conditioned to accept and obey only to the higher authorities without questioning their deeds and words, and regardless of their ethics and morals.  So they react negatively to anyone who seem a threat to their comfort zone and primitive way of thinking.  Souls conditioned by the influence of a strong environment and a myriad of bad habits from many many incarnations, fail to distinguish wrong from right.  Many of them come from broken homes and were raised during the drug culture as a byproduct of a decadent and materialistic society.   For many decades They have been indoctrinated in public schools by confusing instruction with education. To them facts do not matter and they are a misnomer of those who are perceived as archetypes of evil and see them as enemies that need to be erradicated because they prefer darkness to light. They live on the cave of Plato and fear the light. In many cases th...

Amidst crashing worlds and howling winds stand still. Because God is beside you  This is only a test that you shall pass. Remember, God is your mighty fortress. And if you remain fearless and stedfast you shall be victorious  Trust God and cultivate faith.  At the end , your shall discover that you were never alone.  It is up to us to ask for sincere help.  No prayer is unheeded by God Ask and you shall receive!  © All rights reserved Rigo Muniz

Guided meditation to remove neck and cervical pain.

In the Sanctuary of the Soul KNOW THE SCIENCE OF BROADCASTING YOUR PRAYERS AND RECEIVING GOD'S ANSWERS       When you feel a bursting thrill of joy expanding in your heart and your whole body, and it continues to increase even after meditation. you have received the one sure proof that God has answered through the devotion-tuned radio of your heart. The heart, which is the center of feeling, and the mind, which is the center of reason, must be one-pointedly concentrated in order for your mind-radio message to reach God, and for you to receive His answer.        The longer and deeper you meditate and pray to Him, the more deeply you will feel and be conscious of the expanding joy in your heart. Then you will know without doubt that there is a God and that He is ever-existing, everconscious, omnipresent, ever-new Joy. That is the time to ask Him: "Father, now, today, all days, all tomorrows, every instant, in sleep, in wakefulness, in life, in death...

Ceaseless Thoughts belong to the monkey mind. There is no way you can control your thoughts. Keeping the mind blank will attract tramps souls from the lower astral attached to the earth plane. To judge everyone by their methods and intentions with the same rule is pure ignorance. There are false teachers, priests, engineers, politicians etc, but there are also good people, good souls who deserve our utmost respect. Ancient techniques of meditation are tools and vehicles to enlightment. Meditation alone without Devotion and service to humanity is useless. You can  achieve higher levels of meditations and spiritual progress. You can earn pysquic powers and yet God remains elusive. Meditation without humility and Devotion and kindness to lesser beings is not going to give you liberation. You can meditate for incarnations and still be forced by karma to reincarnate. Thoughts are semi-material forms of energy. And it is linked to the samsaras and ego. When a thought arises it is not nec...

Autobiography of a Yogui is one of the hidden gems and treasures of the Spiritual haven and libraries around the Globe. It was written and published by Guru Paramahansa Yoganda in 1946 and founder of Self- Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga of India. He published newer editions of the great book until he left his body consciously in 1952 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California on March 7 1952. He taught Kriya Yoga, a higher Raja Yoga method taught in the Golden Age, milleniums ago. It was the only book Steve Jobs read once a year in his Ipad and the only E-Book he had. Steve Jobs was CEO and co-founder of Apple with Wozniac.    George Harrison of the Beatles used to give away free copies of Autobiography of a Yogi. Even Elvis Presley used to visit the headquarters at Mount Washington and studied his lessons.  If you have not read this Classic, please give yourself a chance to read it. Autobiography of a Yogi

Body is not a nuisance of the Soul. Body or Soma is part of our journey among the myriad of planets and solar systems.  The body is an opportunity for Soul’s own awareness and growth. To loathe the Soma is to deny its true purpose for Soul freedom. In Physical Creation, Maya is a canvas for contrast to unfold its hidden potential for appreciation and Wisdom. It is not cast as an arbitrary division of life by the Great Architect.  Without it we cannot understand The Soul’s purpose and Immortality. The Soul manifest itself on the Ego while incarnated on the gross condensed Energy of the physical Universe of atomic forces and identify Itself with pseudo-Soul.  And yet Soul is pristine, pure and untouched by the sway and zig zag of Maya’s dross and imperfections. It is temporary encased on layers of different energies in our sorjoun of -to and fro -that we experience on the journey of the astral and physical planes of existence, and during  our numerous in...

Top 50 Literary Magazines I discovered this great article about publishing books, literature. It offers a comprehensive list of magazines for publishing. Aimed at the writer’s hands.  Here is the link here. 

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures." Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin. "It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me....

Elementary school is the foundation of a succesful education in the future of any student in any highly educated nation. It is imperative that the child learn well from a good teacher and from good loving parents in order to become a good productive citizen for the future. Education starts at home and well before a child is born.  I remember, when I was talking to my wife and my daughter was uneasy and restless in her Mother’s womb.  But as soon as she heard the vibrations of my voice she calmed down.   In ancient Athens it was believed that good music was good for the soul to be born. The child begins the life journey of  learning in the womb.  And Greeks played the harp, lyre and pan flute around the future child.  We also used to  play at home soft music of Kitaro, Nakai, Specially the album ‘Sacred Spirit’ and noticed that my daughter will stop kicking Mom inside her tummy and then became very quiet. Instruction in School is part of the scho...

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY - On April 30th, 1991, I began a transformational time in my life as the monastery cook at the SRF Lake Shrine, in direct answer to an impassioned prayer and a prescient dream, leading to more blessings than I will ever be able to count. In gratitude for that blessing, I thought I'd share this chapter from "Romancing the Divine" - a devotional memoir full of stories like this one, and memories of saints I have known. I found it's good sometimes to get angry with God! :) Chapter Twenty-Three – The Lake Shrine The saints I’ve known warned us not to share experiences. I mean those sacred ones that are intimate moments between you and God, moments of bliss, of vision, or of favors. You will very often find that those moments lose something of their sanctity and special intimate quality if you speak of them too freely to others. Jesus spoke of this, of those who pray in public in order to be seen as pious, that they already have their small reward. B...
