The work of alignment
By James Anderson - Apr 24, 2016
Aligning oneself to the Truth of one’s being is a key to well-being and health. The soul is the chief determinant in regaining wholeness. However, in the early stages of growth, it works from behind the scene, so one needs to find that part of our nature which resonates most strongly with the psychic influence. In the author’s experience, the work of alignment comes through detailed observation, a process of the Integral Yoga, and the enquiry that accompanies it produces a dynamic shift towards the Truth. Progress requires immense personal effort at the beginning but the aim is always for alignment to become our spontaneous, natural state.
A matter of habit
By James Anderson - Apr 24, 2015
A major part of each one of us has been ‘constructed’ since birth. Adverse habits arise out of this construction and retard our physical and psychological well-being. In this article, the author leans on personal experience and looks at the sources and solutions to this affliction from the perspective of personal growth. He regards the subconscious and the physical mind as principal agents behind the spreading of habit. To conquer habit one needs to reach a higher poise of being, in other words, through the spirit or soul. The shadows of our nature can be filled with light and consciousness in various ways. Working on habit is perfect training for life and the process of transformation can be invited as soon as habits are cleared and conquered.
