Introduction 1

Universal Peace: a Global Concentration

The work of this site - and then further, your own efforts - is not to try to provide material simply for you to read and understand. No matter how worthwhile that may be it is limited to the realm of intellect. For you to take part requires the development of self toward the Real and the expression of true peace, love, harmony, joy, and healing through yourself. It is a lifelong process and opportunity. The words and teachings expressed here can all be of some value. But it is through their application and by following the guidance conveyed through your heart that you will become of this and the realness will unfold within. For it is not something new that is learned, but rather something that always has existed - within you - that is uncovered and remembered.

Following on this page are two main sections. The first is a writing that is extended for your consideration. Consideration, by the way, means more than just reading. It is through attuning, feeling, paying attention, and allowing the intention and realness of what is said or written to bubble - or flash - to the surface, and experience. It is through this deepening you grow, for you then incorporate what is essential for you at the time. This then will continue growing according to your capacity. The second area to consider are three talks. Links to them follow the writing. There are then some practices for you to try, should you wish.

This writing is titled Spirituality. It is edited very slightly here, only a few words omitted, for the particular application on this page. This is a very valuable message as it helps provide a framework to consider not only the works on these pages but also your own advancement through life. The full writing as offered can be found on the Contents page under General and Introductory.

Spirituality

Spirituality can neither be taught nor learned, but it can be discovered by way of the heart. It cannot be described in words, which are poor, and which are limited to each one's understanding. It is a condition different from self-assertion, in which there is a need for confirmation, hidden under a cover of false pretence. Spirituality does not necessarily correspond to physical qualities nor to psychological conditions, although it does have indirectly a harmonious influence on the personality. Spirituality reveals itself as self respect as well as respect for others. A spiritual person has a natural inclination to politeness, moral integrity and self-discipline in regard to any temptation that could be detrimental to those who depend upon one's example. It is a condition where the feeling heart is unconditionally pouring out inner emotions, which have an uplifting influence upon those who are responsive to the magnetism of a spiritually awakened soul.

Spirituality cannot be identified as being the property of one single transmission because of its universal nature. It is a call for "the human rights of thought and feeling", which has been resounding since eternity but has not always been understood, because of the use of speculative terminologies, which generally offer misinterpretations regarding the reality of true inner realization.

Religious ideals, which were originally spiritual messages destined to offer a helping hand towards the realization of truth, tend to be confined within different religious forms and clad in various dogmatic garbs by those who fail to see that the means to attain an objective cannot be the goal; the goal is further still.
