Below is a translation from Russian of a text addressing the question of what enlightenment is. The translation is by Petya Stoyanova, and the author of the text is the creator of the Russian website “Self-Knowledge – the Path of Enlightenment,” who states that he prefers to remain anonymous and therefore withholds his name. I […]
This article is far too good not to be shared. It is titled “The Catastrophe Called Success,” written by Tennessee Williams, and it exists in Bulgarian translation thanks to the creator of the website librev.com, Zlatko Enev. I have now decided to “pass it on,” because I see it as a continuation of the theme […]
Below I share the most important things I know from my own experience about how to be good parents to our children. And, as is usually the case for me, I look for the spiritual dimension of this profoundly important role in our lives. Protecting from Mistakes or Learning from Mistakes One of the main […]
“The greatness of a human being lies in the fact that no one can save them. They must save themselves.” This is the sixth of the “Fifty Precious Gems of Joyful Understanding” in Kriya Yoga. I value it deeply because there is a profound difference between helping and saving. In the interdependent reality in which […]
I like to keep my promises, but it seems that writing the article I promised in the one on panic attacks will take longer than I expected. This is the image that comes to mind when I think about my “writer’s struggle”: there is a cloud of knowledge in my head, but it takes a […]
What would you think if you suddenly felt so unwell that it seemed you might faint at any moment? Your heart is pounding; you feel tingling and numbness throughout your body; your breathing changes; you experience muscle spasms everywhere—especially in your arms, legs, face, and mouth; your throat and chest tighten; you feel dizzy; your […]
“Women go through the process of individuation primarily through suffering, when it happens in the right way; it seems that in such cases there is a surge of libido in the unconscious. If a person can adapt to the devil without being eaten by him, this leads to awareness.” Marie-Louise von Franz,“Animus and Anima in […]
One of the challenges in the stage of calcination — the psychological work with the element of fire and our strong passions – is learning to contain frustration when things do not unfold as quickly as we would like. Life in a material body comes with limitations, not only in space, but also in time, […]
The Transformation of Thinking During Calcination For those who are passing through the fire of calcination—the purification of our desiring nature through suffering—there is something else of great importance that needs to be understood. The primary object of transformation at this first stage of spiritual transformation is thinking itself. In other words, at the core […]
This article is a continuation of the previous one on “The Abduction of Persephone,” in which the “abduction,” from the perspective of the ego, appears as a descent into the underworld, but from the perspective of the Spirit is exactly the opposite—a rite of initiation into the depths of the unconscious. It is an encounter […]
And they told us that love was supposed to be a joyful experience For the sake of “fairness,” the sun that illuminates the opposing ways of dealing with painful emotions now casts its other ray as well. Understandably, this ray is the exact opposite of unleashing the storm outward, as suggested in the previous article. […]
This article is a continuation of the previous publications Images of Light, The Snow Queen and the Devil’s Mirror, and From Nigredo to Albedo, in which I explore the spiritual dimension of human projections. What this piece adds to this vital topic is an understanding of their archetypal foundation and how the process of their […]
