Hello

 I'm a newly registered member, and I have done this as an attempt at unearthing the spiritual aspect of my personality. I have reached that certain point in my life when all things point to discovering my spirituality, as all of my life seems to be affected my beliefs or disbeliefs in a higher spiritual plane. I understand I have a calling, but I just don't seem to know what to do to reach that place where I can carry out this calling. However I'm slightly afraid that this attempt may be fruitless? Is it normal to have scepticism before belief?

Hello Narmis,

I think you have found the right place. I think the courses offered here provide a step-by-step spiritual information that gives the fundamental intellectual base for further spiritual development, should we decide to take advantage of it.

I think it's normal to have fears and doubts, but you will be given the tools to understand them and get rid of them. Also I find a dose of scepticism healthy, when it comes to spiritual matters because there's all kind of misleading information out there. It's best to take practical steps and see from our own experience whether we are on the right track or not.

Ultimately our own efforts to reach for the divine can break that system of beliefs and ideas and bring us to a more objective point of view.

I hope you'll find the site helpful, best wishes!

Hi Pavlin Thank you for you reassurance, it is much appreciated! I have explored many avenues in regards to attaining a life in which all desires have been fufilled, but materialism, popularity and other such things are eventually a fruitless quest to fufill carnal desires which do not line up with your spirtual needs. I understand that perfection in life can only be attained through spiritual growth and development; it is only through understanding of self that one attains a 'perfect' life, if there even is such a thing.  This seems fated, that's all I can say, and I cannot wait to start the Dreams and OBEs course. I'm ready, and i'm kind of excited! N

Hi Narmis,

I'm curious about that 'perfect life', can we have one and what would a perfect life mean? I think a 'perfect life' can only be achieved by a perfect inner state, a state that doesn't depend on life's circumstances at all. If we were to experience peace and inner happiness all the time, then it wouldn't matter what we face throughout our day. And if we used every hardship to gain knowledge and maintaining that peace, wouldn't that be the perfect way of living. :)

all the best with the obe course !
