I honor, appreciate and peacefully interact with all the kingdoms of this world...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this page I shall share information and sites that exemplify living in a manner that consciously supports life and all its forms and manifestations. Each sharing shall be an invitation and an inspiration to live with an intent that nurtures and blesses all of creation.

To live consciously is be aware of the depth of each moment, balancing in the spontaneity of creation, not reaching back for yesterday or leaning into tomorrow. From the place of the now one can recognize the callings and the nudges and the invitations to experience fully this life given and chosen. In this place one sees the interconnectedness of all organisms and chooses to be a nurturing, compassionate, benevolent being wherever he/she is placed.  One chooses to see all as alive and takes responsibility to interact with integrity and an intention clearly focused on the highest good for all.

One living consciously takes time for inner nurturing, is drawn to service, chooses love first, is proactive in relationship with the earth, buys products that support sustainable resources, has political savvy and is an active force in taking a stand and influencing legislation, exercises social action that is people centered, plays with abandon and cares well for the many dimensions of self.

A human living consciously breathes fully, recognizes and processes emotions, is active in inner and outer spirituality, chooses alternative medicine and therapies that are prevention oriented, does not support any industry or business that promotes and engages in abusive and unconscious and self-elevating behaviors, believes in prosperity and abundance for all, gives and receives with equal willingness and joy, spends time in nature, is willing to be alone, and can say yes or no without guilt.

Living consciously means trusting the flow of the Universe and the moment, always looking for the gift, but not ignoring the pain...choosing to walk through the chaos to stand in the unfolding awareness. One recognizes and acknowledges limitations and admits mistakes and uses both as food for growth. This person is clear and respectful in communication with others and constantly draws upon the intuition to make decisions and find inspiration. One living consciously knows and utilizes and finds comfort in the unseen forces existing in different vibratory fields who are here to assist and encourage and educate.

One living consciously does not get attached to outcomes or live with expectations but rather finds the beauty of the flow and the dance. One lives open to the possibility and finds comfort in knowing the journey is leading to a profound place of awareness. There are no demands or codependencies or manipulations placed upon any other as there is simply no need....living in center does not require this.

One living consciously smiles a lot, cries when he/she wants to, makes noise and has tremendous gratitude for the large and the small. There is a recognition and willingness to accept, embrace and stand in personal power, knowing that there is plenty for all. There is an unabashed willingness to live in the senses and be sensuous and juicy.

To live consciously is to live fully human...to run with the gift we have been given, no matter what the forms may take...loving the taste of the adventure and the unknown. Please, do everything you can to live in this kind of place...it is a birthright...drink it up


Renaissance Universal

The mystery is solved!

It is we who are responsible for our future; we are making our tomorrows. Renaissance Universal is a network of people who believe that we must make an effort to improve society and the world, for ourselves and for coming generations. This involves a renaissance based on neo-humanistic values. Such a renaissance will not only redesign the major institutions of society but will foster individual growth and self-realisation as well. Renaissance Universal seeks to communicate and create expanded opportunities for concerned individuals to co-operate, discuss and channel their creative talents in positive personal and social directions

Animal Testing

 
         
                     
   

Many manufacturers of personal care and household items still test their products on animals, despite the growing number of alternative methods for evaluating product safety. The following list contains all such companies known and their associated brand names. You may wish to print it out and take it along next time you go shopping! Please also note that all over-the-counter medicines and/or their ingredients are extensively tested on animals, as currently required by the Food and Drug Administration.

Tantra
is a science meant to achieve super consciousness by the fusion of male (Shiva) and female (Shakti, Parvati, Kali) physical and mental energies. This harmonizing of the seven principle energy centers (the seven chakras) in the healthy female and male bodies raises the kundalini (the divine primordial supreme power) to the sahasrara (the 1000 pedaled crown chakra) . This divine fusion brings one to the super mental plane at which both the male and the female feel extreme truth-super consciousness-bliss (sat-chit-ananda) and finally realizes Brahman (self realization). Thus Tantra and other practices like Raj Yoga (Psychic practice) Jyana Yoga (philosophical ), Karma Yoga (Selfless work) , etc., are but different paths to the same absolute Universal truth called Brahman. However, most of the web sites and tantric teachers of the West have twisted its meaning and made it just another sex act with a few tid-bits from actual Tantra and call it sky dancing, kareeza, sex magic (I don't see any magic) and what not. They have entirely stripped the Hindu aspect of worship and divinity from Tantra and raised it to a rank of a fetish. They also take the meaning of the original tantric texts as literal and do not ponder over the divine hidden meaning behind it. Thus to them Tantra is a way to enhance sexual pleasures (which they call bliss) , have multiple orgasms, to merely strengthen Kegel muscles and so on with little stress on the final goal.

The One World Flag
is an international symbol of diversity, tolerance, uniqueness, self-esteem, and cooperation which has been endorsed by a growing number of individuals, groups, educational, spiritual and diplomatic leaders for its mission statement, purpose, and widesweeping inspirational effect.

Where students on their way home from school have always been able to identify "safe" houses in the neighborhood by a certain symbol placed in a front window, the One World Flag is quickly becoming a soothing reminder to others, stating-- "Diversity, Uniqueness, Tolerance, and Cooperation spoken here."

The flag honors the artistic and spiritual paths of each individual (the micro), and at the same time, inspires us to "Think Bigger!" (the macro). It is supportive of those who pursue whole systems living, betterment, empowerment, growth, tolerance, potential, expression and creativity, spirit, etc.... and consciously aims to side-step the fear-based aspects of political, religious, economic, or other limiting beliefs/dogma/agendas.

Everybody wants to be in a great relationship, and almost nobody is. Ever wondered why that is?

Most people try to put the cart before the horse, that is, by hoping and expecting a loving romantic relationship to magically appear and make them happy, take away all their hurts, and make their lives work. Relationships don't work this way

Greetings!

 

 The Spiritual Sanctuary has become a place where people from all over explore their beliefs and share their inspiration.

 

 Our Beliefs

We believe that each person is on a personal journey to spiritual understanding.

We believe that no one person is completely knowledgeable in the ways of the mysteries of life.

We believe that no one person or group has the completely correct way to achieve harmony with all of creation.

We believe that there are many ways to salvation and resurrection of the spirit.

We believe that religions celebrate common facets of spirit, and that all the major religions of the world hold commonalities such as: a desire to be connected with the spirit of all creation, a wish to have love in life, a wish for peace and harmony in our lives and in the lives of those we love, a wish to live a good life in whatever vision that may be, and to celebrate the transitions life has given to us such as birth, growth to adulthood, marriage, and death. 

We understand that each person holds their beliefs in a coveted way, and that faith and spirituality are deeply personal and sensitive for the individual.

We also believe that people are aching to share their feelings and yearn to do so in a way that will not be judged and critiqued for their conformity or correctness.

We enjoy sharing with people of all faiths and feel that there are myriad paths to spiritual fulfillment.

In honoring all these beliefs, we created the Spiritual Sanctuary. 

It is a place where people, of all gender, of all lifestyle, of all creation, can come together to share and to explore. We come from the path of Earth, and we welcome others of like mind and diverse, in perfect love and perfect trust.

When in the course of organic evolution it becomes obvious that a mutational process is inevitably dissolving the physical and neurological bonds which connect the members of one generation to the past and inevitably directing them to assume among the species of Earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a decent concern for the harmony of species requires that the causes of the mutation should be declared.

We hold these truths to be self evident:

  • That all species are created different but equal;

  • That they are endowed, each one, with certain inalienable rights;

  • That among them are Freedom to Live, Freedom to Grow, and Freedom to pursue Happiness in their own style;

  • That to protect these God-given rights, social structures naturally emerge, basing their authority on the principles of love of God and respect for all forms of life;

  • That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of life, liberty, and harmony, it is the organic duty of the young members of that species to mutate, to drop out, to initiate a new social structure, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its power in such form as seems likely to produce the safety, happiness, and harmony of all sentient beings.

Everyone gets the angries. But sometimes they make us say and do things that we don't really mean. We can learn how to release those mads in safe ways, so that no one gets hurt and we feel better.

Ask yourself, "How would the quality of your life improve if you used your anger in safe, acceptable ways?"

Yes! You can learn positive things to do with your anger! If you are human, then you have angry feelings. What a novel idea! Instead of making your anger bad, stuffing it down or exploding with frustration, take The Anger Challenge.

The Anger Challenge is to learn ways to deal with your mads constructively! What a challenge! To learn about yourself and the person you are upset with rather than blowing up. To do many creative things with your anger rather than hurting others or yourself. Take up The Anger Challenge and feel better about yourself and be happier in your relationships. Make choices to let go of those ugly mads and angries.

Our Web Page, Angries Out is here to help you do just this! My name is Lynne Namka. The kids call me "the Lady That Knows About Mads!" My company, Talk, Trust & Feel and Angries Out Web page were developed to give people alternatives to conflict and violence when they are upset. Our mission is to help people learn to use their anger in ways that empower them.
