Traversing attachment
By James Anderson - Jul 15, 2016
Attachment is a considerable barrier to human growth and well-being. To begin with, the only way of annulling it is to re-draw one’s life in a totally new and truer way. One then has to loosen the knot of ego. Practice of inner work, aligned to a conscious unfolding of the being, can be the means of liberation. In this context, the meaning of ‘attachment’, used ordinarily to denote a tie to a person or object, is broadened to encompass the whole range of human experience.

The purpose of stress
By Venkatesh Palla - Jul 15, 2016
In recent times, a significant portion of medical interventions are preoccupied with stress reduction as many pathological processes find their expression and aggravation in stressful situations. However, a closer look into life reveals that stress has a constructive role in evolution and existence. This article explores the inner ways to go through stress from a spiritual perspective. This provides a psychological tool to go beyond stress so that life becomes more meaningful and joyful.

The effect of flower remedies on bodily symptoms
By Vandana Gupta - Jul 15, 2016
This article discusses through statistical means, the effect of flower remedies on physical symptoms. The symptoms were deliberately not classified into disease diagnoses. This was done so that the study could be unbiased by a framework of disease classification. The cases were recorded by persons other than the treating physician from case files. An excel datasheet was created and analysed through npar (two-tailed binomial test; probability = 0.5) tests on each symptom recorded for these cases. This study showed that of a total of 2419 symptoms, 1,739 (72%) reported symptoms improved or resolved, whilst 680 (28%) reported symptoms showed no improvement or got worse. This distribution significantly differs from chance ( p< 0.001). This study indicates that significantly more people reported improved symptoms following flower treatment than those that did not.

The dynamic realisation
By The Mother - Jul 15, 2016
It is the realisation which is expressed in action. There is a realisation in inaction like that of those who enter into contemplations from which they don’t come out, and who don’t move; and then there is a dynamic realisation which transforms all your action, all your movements, all your way of being, your character. In the first case one’s outer being remains the same, nothing changes, and usually it destroys all possibility of action, one can no longer do anything, one remains seated... In the second case, it changes everything, your character, your way of being, your way of acting, all your actions and even your surroundings, and finally all your existence, your total being: this is dynamic realisation, with the transformation of the body as its culmination.
