𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟? 𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

  The concept of the “Self” lies at the core of many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as the most fundamental aspect of our being, the true essence of who we are. However, the Self is not something we can easily grasp through our usual means of understanding, like thought, perception, or intellect. It transcends our physical, mental, and emotional experiences, yet it is ever-present and underlies all of them. In this chapter, we will explore what the Self is, how it differs from the ego or personality, and why understanding the Self is key to realizing true reality. The Self as Pure Consciousness At its essence, the Self is pure consciousness. It is the awareness that observes all experiences, but it is not limited by or attached to those experiences. It is the unchanging witness of all that arises in life—the thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions we experience daily. To grasp this concept, think about a movie screen. The screen remains ...

The 𝐇𝐨𝐲𝐚 pentagram

By Anelly Aya

  The cosmic flower pentagram, also known as the "crying flower," can serve as a centering symbol in spirituality for some people. The symbol is associated with the idea of creation, growth, and evolution and can symbolize the journey of the soul and the connection to the divine.

The 𝐇𝐨𝐲𝐚 pentagram, also known as the "crying flower", also cosmic flower, is a type of plant in the Hoya genus that is often used in spiritual and decorative contexts. Some people believe that the Hoya pentagram has spiritual significance due to its unique shape and the symbolism associated with the pentagram. The five points of the pentagram can represent the elements of earth, air, fire, water, and spirit, and the circle around the pentagram can symbolize unity and wholeness. However, the spiritual significance of the Hoya pentagram is a personal and subjective interpretation and can vary greatly from person to person depending on one's cultural background, spiritual practice, and personal beliefs.

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐨, who was a spiritual teacher who lived in Bulgaria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, taught about the 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 and associated it with the five rays of 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦, 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. According to Beinsa Douno, the five points of the pentagram represent the five qualities that are necessary for a harmonious and fulfilling life. He believed that by developing these qualities and incorporating them into one's daily life, individuals could reach a higher level of consciousness and connect with the divine.

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya
    Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to en...

The Self is the only reality

By Anelly Aya
  "The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world. The hall is illuminated whether there are people in it or not, whether they are performing a play or nothing is happening. It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them." — Ramana Maharshi.
