Concerning and exploring the human spirit and soul.
Enlightenment
Sometimes, I wonder what the meaning of life is. I believe most people do so in their life. I personally think enlightenment has something to do with the meaning of life. The religious concept of enlightenment is quite grandiose—knowing the ultimate meaning of life, being "one" with the universe, etc. The religious concept of enlightenment seems to mean that enlightenment is an absolute. For me, at my stage in life, however, the idea of enlightenment is more like a process or a direction. Of course, enlightenment is a goal, but I can't imagine actually reaching the goal. I can only imagine the general direction I would go in. I perceive the process of enlightenment to be something that would help me figure out the meaning of life. By "meaning of life," I do not mean an ultimate and all-mighty knowing of life. Rather, I just mean the meaning/purpose of my life. I think through the process of enlightenment, I could achieve a sense of accomplishment, direction, and meaning.

Subconsciousness to Consciousness
As we all live our daily lives, we all face many circumstances and battle through many hardships; losing faith in all corners sometimes drains our mind, body, and soul. Every moment of life is meaningful. Every person you encounter has an important reason to be in your life. Everything you can see, wherever you are, is full of deeper significance and meaning. The creation of this world, everything around you, is naturally in perfect harmony with who you are and what you think and feel.

Ghosts and Astral Projection
New Age is a form of spirituality with a focus on the well being of the mind, body and spirit. However, there is a form of esotericism that is involved. Many New Agers start to perform different rituals and deal with different forms of occultism. What many people are not aware of is that within the word “spirituality,” the word spirit is the root word there. Whenever you decide that you want to do any type of ritual, prayer, or invoking ceremony be aware that spirits are all around you. Like the movie Insidious said, “If you call out to one of the dead. All of them can hear you.” So do not take invocation lightly. You can invoke when playing different spirit games like the Ouija board, when using pendulums, automatic writing and dowsing rods. No matter what you decide to do, just be aware that you can end up with someone or something that you don’t want coming around. Now I’m not saying, “Don’t do these things because it’s bad.” On the contrary, all of these things are tools to be used when you are ready and have done extensive reading and training. With that being said, I want to talk about three different types of spirits.

The Subconscious Mind Within Dreams
Lately, my dreams have been the most vivid they have been in years. I wake up each morning feeling as if I have just had an entire expedition, adventure, or even tragedy. I can't help but think that the extremes of my dreams correlate to my day by day life.

Spirituality
The world is filled with so many different religions and they all claim to be the only path to save your soul. Just the mere thought of that is very intimidating. Trying to choose which path is the one for our spiritual salvation is even scarier. The simple choices we face in our everyday lives, such as trying to find something to eat can be extremely complicated. To simplify it for ourselves we ask a series of questions, “do I want fast food, pizza, or should I cook at home?” When we struggle with a choice so simple such a food, why would choosing a religion be simple? We don’t have the same simple questions to ask ourselves because each religion varies tremendously. With all of that being said. You should take some comfort that you are not alone. There are millions of people who have no idea where to place their faith.
