- How we can enhance the reputation of the Law of Attraction industry - by Submitted on Jan 04, 2013 from Mark KellyHave you ever noticed how many Law of Attraction experts create their wealth through selling abundance-creating material (books, CDS, seminars, coaching, affiliate programs, etc.) to abundance seekers? Is this really the law of attraction at work or just unscrupulous opportunism meets marketing ...
Views: 1736(2 votes) - Understanding God's Ambivalence - by Submitted on Dec 14, 2012 from Mark KellyIt’s not easy being God in that He is all we want to be in and of ourselves, yet what we feel we can’t be without His assistance. Consequently, He is cure and crutch, Love and Judgment, and the all-powerful Light whose inaction makes possible the Dark. God’s ambivalence is deeply troubling – ...
Views: 3078 - Awakening to Life thru Life – not from Life - by Submitted on Nov 28, 2012 from Mark KellySpiritual Awakening is not about transcending the flawed dualistic world; it is about ending the dualistic beliefs underlying flawed and flawless. So, rather than transcending the world; it transcends the division within us. This means it is not the end of separation; it is the realization that ...
Views: 1181(2 votes) - Abundance and Spiritual Surrender - by Submitted on Oct 30, 2012 from Mark KellyI have found that most people into awakening, enlightenment and non-duality see abundance as an egoic desire born of New Thought materialist spirituality – something for Oprah fans and not genuine spiritual seekers who attend satsangs and meditative retreats. Yet being abundant has more in ...
Views: 2118(1 vote) - Taking Awakening off the Pedestal - by Submitted on Oct 03, 2012 from Mark KellyWhat we put beyond our reach remains beyond our reach. Awakening, enlightenment, God-realization, Self-realization, whatever you want to call it, is our natural state. When we place it on a pedestal we fail to recognize this and become like a dog chasing its own tail since no view that divides ...
Views: 1319(1 vote) - Love Beyond Paradigms - by Submitted on May 17, 2012 from Mark KellyWe often look to traditional paradigms of Wholeness for insights into the nature of Love, but seldom look to Love for insights into the nature of traditional paradigms of Wholeness, i.e. look at Wholeness through the eyes of Love. Yet Love offers us a clear understanding of what it is to be ...
Views: 1287 - Holistic Awakening - Self-inquiry via the Shadow - by Submitted on May 17, 2012 from Mark KellyThe truly holistic understanding of awakening is not at odds with humanness. It is not even at odds with the ego. If anything, it approaches spiritual self-inquiry via the ego – particularly the psychological shadow – because it is this that blocks out the light of infinite being. In fact, ...
Views: 1976 - Holistic Non-duality - The Heart Of Modern Awakening - by Submitted on May 17, 2012 from Mark KellyThe essence of holistic non-duality is the recognition that non-duality is never separate from duality. Simply put, they are “not two” because non-duality devoid of duality is itself dualistic. Holistic non-duality does not transcend the world; it transcends the division within us. It is what ...
Views: 1827(1 vote) - Intuitive Logic - by Submitted on Jun 03, 2011 from Mark KellyI like to call the openness to non-conceptual reality ‘intuitive logic’ or ‘intuitive reason’ since the term is an oxymoron and a paradox that can explain everything or nothing depending on whether you have erected a conceptual fence to stand on. Intuition and logic/reason tend to be placed ...
Views: 4850 - Why Being Whole Means Being Empty - by Submitted on May 31, 2011 from Mark KellyAs you know, Wholeness underlies all things. It encompasses all that exists yet is beyond anything that can be termed to exist – it is ineffable but also deeply paradoxical as we are in and of the Whole yet experience ourselves as separate from it. That is why deep down we feel so isolated and ...
Views: 1213 - The Ancient Wisdom of Emptiness - by Submitted on May 21, 2011 from Mark KellyThe ancient wisdom of emptiness (also known as nothingness (no-thingness)) lies at the heart of the Buddhist wisdom tradition, but unfortunately it is for the most part either unknown or misunderstood by the modern spiritual audience. Yet emptiness is incredibly important because it can free us ...
