Spirituality

spirit1Spirituality is one of our focal points here at PathsToKnowledge. In this section we review spiritual books and teachers. We explore spiritual paths and techniques. We discuss spiritual living and spiritual healing.

Spirituality does not imply religion. It involves connecting to our source and essence to find guidance and meaning.  Spirituality is the map that guides our journey.  The puzzle into which all the other pieces fit.

We can be successful in all the other areas of life, but if we don’t have a sense of meaning, we will ultimately find happiness eludes us.  On the other hand, if our spiritual compass is working properly, the other areas of our life will align more easily.

On the side menu, you will find pages devoted to particular spiritual teachers and gurus. Below is a list of all our posts dealing with the spiritual, the esoteric and the philosophical.

The Soulmate Secret

The Soulmate Secret

The Soulmate Secret by Arielle Ford. As I am coming up on my 28th wedding anniversary, I wasn’t particularly in the market for a book on attracting a soulmate. But I saw this book in the “New” section of the library and thought it would be worth reviewing for the benefit of the many people [...]

A Critique of David R. Hawkins and Kinesiology

A Critique of David R. Hawkins and Kinesiology

Hopefully it’s not a bad sign that this is the second somewhat negative piece I’m doing this week. I generally like to focus on positive reviews. I’d rather ignore a bad book or teacher and focus on a good one. But I’ve quoted David Hawkins before. I was in the process of reading I [...]

Four Easy Steps to Enlightenment

Four Easy Steps to Enlightenment

How does one reach the state of consciousness that is commonly called “enlightenment?” You don’t often see a really good answer to that question. Either it is very vague, giving you little guidance, or it is steeped in layers of tradition, and requires navigating your way through a very complex path. So I was pleased [...]

The Prodigal God

The Prodigal God

The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller. This book, by a unique Presbyterian minister, is a deep look at the parable of the prodigal son from a traditional Christian perspective. It’s a short work, but brings wonderful and deep insights into understanding this parable.
For example, while much is always made of the tremendous grace and love [...]

The Four Agreements

The Four Agreements

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Like many books, I first ran into this one in audio form. Since I had always been intrigued by the Carlos Castaneda books, I was interested in a self-development book which claimed to be based on Toltec principles. The book turned out to be both simple and profound [...]

The Blessing Walk – a Walking Meditation.

The Blessing Walk – a Walking Meditation.

I was able to take a walk today after several weeks of rain, and it was wonderful. I took the opportunity to use a type of compassionate meditation that I was taught by my spiritual mentor. It’s called the Blessing Walk. Because it’s a walking meditation, it can be combined with a daily walk. You [...]

ZAP – the Zero Aggression Principle

ZAP – the Zero Aggression Principle

Just as a preemptive warning, my political leanings are confused and variable. If there is a perfect political philosophy out there, I haven’t found it yet.  There is a difficult balance to be struck between compassion and strength – between freedom and safety. That said, I do have strong predilections for the so-called Zero-Aggression-Principle (ZAP) [...]

When the Heart Waits

When the Heart Waits

When the Heart Waits – by Sue Monk Kidd. I picked this book up after hearing Wayne Dyer mention it in a tape. It’s basically a spiritual memoir by the author of “The Secret Life of Bees”. It deals with a time of difficult spiritual transformation in her life. I can certainly see why Dr. [...]

A New Earth

A New Earth

A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Although the book has been around for a while, I haven’t yet posted a review on it. As I’ve stated before, Eckhart is, in my opinion, the clearest and best spiritual teacher around today. His first book, The Power of Now was wonderful, [...]

The Sacrament of Making Your Bed

The Sacrament of Making Your Bed

I was starting to read Regina Leed’s book One Year to an Organized Work Life (which I hope to review soon) and happened on this wonderful little tidbit on why you should make your bed. Now I don’t really have a problem with making the bed. I’m used to it now and it bother’s me [...]
