The four ancient yoga pathways to spiritual union taught in the Bhagavad Gita are built on the profound recognition, made by yoga masters thousands of years ago, that human beings have four faculties through which they can learn to purify the heart, discipline the mind, restrain the senses, and unite with the Self within: the intellect, love, psychic control, and work. Swami Vivekananda describes the four yogas as such:

“Each soul is potentially divine, and the goal of yoga is
 to manifest this Divinity within
 by controlling nature, external and internal.

Karma, Destiny, and the Most Difficult Parts of Living.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Astrology has fascinated me since I was a child. My mother was an astrologer. I would sit and watch her piecing together numbers like a jigsaw puzzle then translating them into lovely symbols that she meticulously placed in drawing of a round circle divided into twelve segments (called "houses")—like a pie. "Hmmm," she would sometimes say, or mutter, "Oh my," or  "Well, that's interesting." She was like a surgeon probing into the secret spaces of a body, looking for clues and answers. 

Relationship and marriage, according to the Kabbalah, must be based on spirituality. The connection between two people starts with their mutual desire to discover the spiritual realm and actualize the purpose of creation. Here is the philosophy behind love and Marriage, and some interesting ethnicity.

I believe that a critical part of learning discernment on the spiritual path is discovering the pervasive illnesses of ego and self-deception that are in all of us.

The things that hold us back spiritually are all within ourselves. All negative attitudes spell our own undoing because they draw the mind away from God and affirm a separate reality. Only when you’ve overcome the carping, doubting spirit can you uplift your mind in attunement with the Divine.

What if the true cause of your distress, pain or illness was at the level of subconscious mind, and that the only way the subconscious could communicate with you was through the body, as reflected in your symptoms?

There is perhaps not a single one of us who hasn’t suffered from chronic pain or illness at one time or another. And if you are like most, you focused on the physical nature of that pain or illness, the outward symptoms. Indeed, you naturally defined that pain or illness by those symptoms. Chances are the health professional you sought out did the same. And if you are one of the unlucky one’s, that chronic pain or illness came to define you and your life.
