Inner Meaning
The Divine Within blog started on the 25th of January 2009. This is the first article ever published: The search for inner meaning is an inverse process. In order to get to a place of inner meaning, first we must strip all meaning from our lives. The search for Truth is an inverse process. In order to get to something, we must first get to nothing. It is in the stillness of nothing that everything becomes clear. The reason for this is that reality is not known to us, largely it is unknown. We have assumed a particular reality from our parents, and they from their parents, and so the cycle...

It is obvious from all of our childhood comic book heros like Superman, Superwoman and the X-Men, that we all wish to have super powers and become perfect human beings, just like these superhuman caricatures.

It is something essential for everyone to understand, that there are a few fundamental things which cannot be changed. This is one of the fundamentals: you cannot fight with darkness directly, with loneliness directly, with the fear of isolation directly.

Read MoreThe Awakening – By Sonny Carroll
A time comes in your life when you finally get it…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening. You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon. You realize that in...
