Book Review: When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat

"When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat" is a triumphant journey of self-discovery that will change the very way you look at the world. Like most of us, John was an ordinary man who calmly accepted the problems of his life and career without any real hope or insight. Then a miracle happened. He met a strange, wise businessman named Gideon. It was a brief encounter, filled with mystery. But for John, it was the beginning of a soul-searching journey a joyous awakening of self-understanding, inner truth and the power of universal love that lives within us all.

Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 2 )

We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind. The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newto

Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 1 )

The word Karma is derived from the Sanskrit Kri, to do; all action is Karma. Technically, this word also means the effects of actions. In connection with metaphysics, it sometimes means the effects,of which our past actions were the causes. But in Karma-Yoga we have simply to do with the word Karma as meaning work. The goal of mankind is knowledge. That is the one ideal placed before us by Eastern philosophy. Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happin

New Age Spirituality – Journey In The Fields Of Forever ( Part 40 )

During this period I was scheduled to attend a business conference at a luxurious location very similar to where I now found myself. My hotel room was much like this one, opening onto a balcony separated only by a panorama of glass. I had ventured out onto the balcony and draped myself over the rail, looking toward the sea. The beauty of the scene was so overpowering that I absent-mindedly started humming an old tune.nnnSuddenly, a voice to my right said, “Intriguing melody

As our bags were being taken to our respective rooms, Marla told me that she would see Gideon and me on the balcony around dinner time in a few hours. That seemed like a good idea and would give me a chance to be alone and relax for a short while. I enjoy company tremendously but, every now and then, I have this overwhelming need for solitude — no crowds, no chatty friends, no anybody, just I, my God and myself.nnnThe room was more a suite than a regular hotel room and the

“Interesting,” I murmured,“but I never seem to be able to figure how not to get stuck in a situation.”nnn“You get stuck in a predicament when you’re too attached to outcomes. If you worry too much about how a situation will resolve itself, if you are desperate, if you are full of fear, if you try to force your way out, you get stuck.” “So don’t worry, don’t try to find a solution?

It wasn’t too long before we were riding in a colorful cab headed toward the hotel, about half an hour away. I was anxious to get to the beach and looking forward to enjoying the sun and the sea. Actually, most times at the beach, I prefer sitting under a large shady tree gazing forever at the horizon where the ocean meets the sky.nnnIt is by the sea that I hear the whisper of the universe, the songs of the stars and the melodies in the wind.

The problems of next week would have to wait until this week was done. Nothing would ruin this weekend.

Would you prefer to rest for a while or get involved in island life right away?

I sat silently for a while, gazing at Marla. She had appeared beautiful before, but now she was ravishing. She pretended not to notice as she browsed through a travel brochure, but I knew that she knew I was looking at her. nnn“Hmm . . . ,” she finally said, “if we’re going, we’d better leave soon.

“No, dear John, no instant travel this time,” she said, “no need for that now.

I sat there in a state of blessed bewilderment as they landed, converging all around me. Some alighted on the branches of the mango tree and others landed next to me on the ground. Most were tropical birds although some were species I had never seen. There were kiskadees and blue sackis, red-billed toucans and spur wings, blue gauldings and scarlet ibis. The strangest part of this incredible scene was that each bird carried a tiny book in its beak. The books seemed to be mini

It was early morning in the dream and I was sitting under a large tree near my family’s farm. It was a mango tree,one of those magnificent old giants native to the coastal regions of Guyana. It was the season when its leaves shimmered in multi-colors of gold, purple, green and orange. A soft breeze was blowing through the leaves and there was a peace that far surpassed anything I’ve ever known.nnnOn the ground next to me under the mango tree was a blue book with beautiful

“That’s one of the main reasons we’re back with you,” said Marla. “There are other reasons, of course, but this is by far the most important. By the time we’re finished with these adventures,there’ll be no need for us to work with you in this way and you’ll go on to finish the task you had set for yourself.

Gideon took another sip of coffee,leaned back in his chair and looked at me through half-closed eyes.“It’s been such a long time since we’ve done any fun things together.

Their mother would have really been proud of them. Especially since her death, the bond forged by the three of us was extremely strong. We delighted in simple pleasures,like a family barbecue on the back porch or just gathering around the kitchen table commenting on the latest news. Sometimes when I look at them,I realize that our children come to stay with us for only a very short while. Obvious as it may seem, everyday they are with us is one less day we have them. Eventual

“A matter of perspective,John,” she replied. “You’re as old as the hills or as young as a newborn day. It all depends on you and how you perceive your world. You don’t see things as they are,you see them as you are.” “Then if I’m seeing you as I am, I must be in pretty good condition myself,” I said with a grinning wink. “Much better than you want to give yourself credit for,” she replied.nnn“Thank you,” I laughed.nnnThe waiter brought our meals and

A few minutes later as we pulled up to the gate I turned, half hoping to see Gideon again. But he wasn’t there.

New Age prophets and their religious teachers spoke of various convergences and impending disasters around the turn of the century, of fire and earthquakes, famines and floods.

I glanced at my watch, noticing we had less than an hour or so before touch down. Dinner had just been served, but I had no desire for airline food.

Spirituality Information - Is The Messenger More Important Than The Message ?

History has proved that the growth of human consciousness has been traditionally very slow.I think one of the main reasons for this is because the message of all the great men and women was never projected as superior than the messengers of the message. Makes sense ! Ordinary people do a great job of applauding extraordinary human beings.
