Meditation, Spiritual Awareness, Personal Transformation & Cultural Transformation

Beyond the mind's fluctuations there is pure Awareness that has been called by many names, including: 'Liberation', 'Samadhi', 'Nirvana' and 'God-Consciousness'.

Forms of meditation have existed in all spiritual traditions as there is a clear connection between a state of receptivity and a state of Inspiration. ‘Inspiration’ means literally: ‘the inflow of Spirit/ Divine Breath/ Divine Awareness’. The word ‘inspiration’ has been used to describe all sorts of manifestations of ‘genius’ – from art to prophecy and even spiritual healing. Inspired individuals often experience deep personal transformation and have sometimes been responsible for great social, cultural transformations and even technological innovations.

Spirituality and the future of Religion

Nowadays there is some reservation concerning anything that is associated with religion and it is often stated that religion is responsible for war and the abuse of human rights. It ought to be pointed out, however, that it is the misrepresentation of religious teachings for selfish purposes that has led to justification for wars, persecution, abuse, etc.

We live in an age when the nature of religion and the nature of its spiritual foundations are being re-evaluated, but let’s not ‘throw out the baby with the bathwater’. New understanding can lead us onwards to new levels of global spiritual culture and to a new vision of the ‘brotherhood’/ ‘sisterhood’ of humankind and of all beings.

Peace on Earth is a choice that every one of us can remember to make at each and every moment
