Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180.

Marcus Aurelius was the Roman emperor from 161 to AD 180, and during that time, he kept several collections of journals that contained personal notes, militaristic strategy, and ideas on Stoic philosophy. While unlikely that he ever intended to publicly publish these journals, there is no real official title, so most often "Meditations" is used because of his in depth writings on philosophy. These journals give an introspective look at how and why Marcus Aurelius' operated as an emperor.

The book of James has for centuries caused problems for the church hierarchy. Some felt it took away from the teaching of salvation by faith alone; Martin Luther disliked this little book so much that in his original translation, he took it out of the rest of the New Testament and put it in an appendix in the back! There is controversy about which of the three James in the Bible wrote this letter: whether James was trying to tone down Paul’s message, whether or not it was written only to the Jews and not to the budding church; whether it was too practical to be of any spiritual import as ...

The philosophy of the Stoics has experienced something of a rediscovery in recent years as certain individuals today, unable to ignore the virtually universal decadence, cowardice, selfishness, and ignorance of the human race as a whole, seek a more challenging and honorable approach to life.

Ready for peace, connection and union? It’s as close as your breath. Breathing is both wonder and paradox: it is something so simple that we are born knowing how to do it yet a person can train for their entire life in an effort to learn how to do it well. It is something that appears to be a solitary act and yet coordinating our breath with another is a deep act of intimacy. On one level it is a physical act, and yet the spiritual implications of the breath are profound. In the book of Genesis, God reached down and scooped up a handful of dirt. God breathed into that dirt and made the ...

Galahad stated the following to me during one of his regressions: "Camelot was never meant to be as a constellation in the sky. A constellation is permanent. Camelot was never meant to be permanent. It was instead meant to be as a shooting star. It was meant to flash briefly across the sky. Camelot was meant, in its brief sojourn on earth, to give us a glimpse of what man could aspire to. It set an example for us, just as the shooting star show us for a brief instance the beauty and glory of its existence. But just as we remember the beauty and magnificence of the shooting star long after ...

He talks about using the ascended masters as sources of guidance and inspiration during attempts at meditation.
