Below, Pamela Kribbe explains what the Two Paths are – the Forward Path and the Return Path – thus taking the understanding of this distinction to a deeper level. In the language of her work, the “forward path” is immersion into the world of duality in matter and playing by its rules, while the “return […]

This is an important detail on the map of our life paths. It concerns inner soul processes and can only be understood from the perspective of the theory of reincarnation and the successive embodiments of the human soul. For some people, precisely this kind of mapping of soul paths helps them better understand the processes […]

Robin Norwood, “Why Me? Why This? Why Now?”
I highly recommend this book by Robin Norwood, subtitled “A Spiritual Guide in the Labyrinth of Questions about Human Existence” . To give you a better sense of the author and her writing style, I’ll begin with a quote: *”Imagine someone standing before you and saying: ‘In the next few years, you will go through […]

Getting Closer by Moving Away
One of the great paradoxes is that even while we seem to be doing all the “wrong” things and moving in the “wrong” direction, we are in fact getting closer to the very solution we seek. The most striking example of this is the teaching of accepting things exactly as they are. I agree that […]

The esoteric Law of Sacrifice
For quite some time now, I have been exploring the idea that human suffering has two different sources: (1) personal, and(2) transpersonal (collective). And I am increasingly realizing that there are people who experience the second one to a greater degree. This means that the origin of their suffering does not relate only to their […]

Where is the needle – Rabia’s answer
This is a true story. I read it in one of Osho’s many texts and am retelling it from memory. The protagonist is Rabia al-Adawiyya, the Sufi mystic, about whom there are many anecdotes regarding how she preached her teachings. This is one of them. One day, Rabia was searching for something on the street […]

Osho: love needs two things
“Love needs two things: for its roots to be in freedom and to know the art of trust.” — Osho
The path of spiritual transformation is difficult. Perhaps that is why it is valuable. Easy things rarely hold much worth. And to make its value even greater, it is not only difficult but also long. A difficult, long road. Yet, we walk it anyway. Perhaps because it is the only possible way—forward. Then comes the […]
“Although the disturbances accompanying the crises of spiritual development resemble some illnesses, and at times it is even difficult to distinguish them, in reality, their causes and meanings are completely different, and in a certain sense even opposite. Accordingly, their treatment must also be different.” — Roberto Assagioli This thought by Roberto Assagioli (∗) is […]

Osho on “the way of the sly man”
Below is an excerpt from a talk by Osho. In it, he answers a question from a man who says that he moves between anger and sadness and doesn’t know whether he should express anger or let it explode inside him. Osho answers this question thus: “Anger and sadness are both the same. Sadness is […]

The problem is the solution
Following my post on identifying the “real” problem, here is a sequel in the same spirit. It is this: if we manage to find what that problem is, we soon discover that the problem itself contains the solution to our truly “real” issue. Sound a bit confusing? Let me give you an example to make […]

The key, quite simply, is other people
“Before reading A Course in Miracles, I had studied many spiritual and philosophical works. I felt they led me to a vast staircase toward a majestic cathedral in my mind, but as soon as I reached the stairs, the church door turned out to be locked. The Course gave me the key that opened the […]
