Embracing Troubles: Bits of Wisdom from Boot Camp and Aquarian Teacher's Training

Jai Gopal — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:08:43 +0000

I’ve been absent a while and for that I apologize. A new boot camp always becomes all consuming. This newest program as been a great success thus far. As we’ve finished this first week, the seventeen or so strong souls who’ve come out have been there nearly every day with great dedication [...]

The Paradox of Prayer & Healing

Jai Gopal — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:59:19 +0000

Praying for the healing of others heals you by default. By sending out light and loving thoughts to people in your life, you actually heal yourself. It came to me in a meditation recently that since all things are of this one universal energy (some people calls it God, some people calls it [...]

Bits of Wisdom from My Teacher

Jai Gopal — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 18:19:56 +0000

I was on a workshop recently with my teacher, Harijiwan and in the midst of all of the discussions I was compelled to write down certain things because they resonated with such brilliance. The italics represent my commentary.

“Expectations are resentments waiting to happen.” (actually said by a woman named Carol rephrasing what Harijiwan [...]

Random Thoughts…

Jai Gopal — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:40:31 +0000

I was going through a file drawer the other day and came across all these scraps of paper I’d written spiritual thoughts on… Here they are.

At a cafe called Fruition in NW Portland, OR —

The best thing that can happen to you is that you experience God in you as a projection of your soul [...]

Kundalini Yoga: The Non-Denominational Experience of the Soul

Jai Gopal — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:42:22 +0000

I’ve often seen people balk at kundalini yoga because they aren’t sure how it would sit with their religious beliefs. I tell people that Kundalini Yoga is the real time experience of everything religion promises or talks about with regard to the spirit– or God. Kundalini Yoga is the real-time experience of the soul [...]

SYNCHRONICITY: There Are No Coincidences

Jai Gopal — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:50:09 +0000

Coincidences are what Carl Jung termed Synchronicity. There really are no coincidences. People like to say, everything happens for a reason. I don’t think everything happens for a reason, but I do think you can bring reason to everything that happens. A coincidence is like a happy accident, but actually it’s no accident [...]

Transcending Karma: Just Don't React

Jai Gopal — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:44:54 +0000

Since karma is simple cause and effect or action and reaction, if something happens to you and you just don’t react, you can stop karma in its tracks. Of course, like many practices of a spiritual nature, this is easier said than done.

The key word here is practice, though. Once you become aware [...]

Kundalini Yoga: Path of the Householder

Jai Gopal — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:14:15 +0000

When people get on a spiritual path often they think that they have to renounce everything. It’s a concept that keeps many from deeply exploring their own soul. It’s a function of duality. Many people, because religion has misled them, have a belief that you can’t be spiritual and still live a material [...]

The Power of Intention, Resistance and The Law of Attraction

Jai Gopal — Thu, 31 May 2007 01:14:58 +0000

When you set an intention, it’s like making a decision about what you wish to attract to yourself. When you decide something absolutely, the universe then responds based on your thoughts. If there is enough of belief behind your thoughts then what you want to attract to yourself will be pulled to [...]
