Metaphysics: What Is the Difference Between Mind, Spirit, and Soul?

Posted by Nuno on 01.10.16 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

The following is an adaptation of one of my answers on Quora, which asked what was the difference between Soul, Spirit, and Mind. You can see the original answer here. The Soul is the portion of you that retains the highest possible level of consciousness and is closest to Source. It’s the part of you that is purely formless and (…)

Metaphysics: Is Karma Punishment, Balance, or Something Else?

There’s a moment in the evolution of the spiritual being when he leaps in consciousness from 3D to 4D. This transition is individual. It isn’t dependant (as in being impaired, impeded) on others making the same transition – although the process may be assisted if they do. But its nature is inner first and foremost. It happens when the spiritual being is ready for it, and not before. The (…)

Spirituality: What “Love Yourself First” Mean?

Posted by Nuno on 17.01.15 under Life and Society, Spirituality 101.

To love yourself means to be in touch with how you feel, and then acting in a way that respects it. To love yourself is not necessarily an emotion. It doesn’t obligatory mean you sit down and try to experience warm fuzzy feelings about yourself. It’s (also) about choice. Let’s say there’s a corporate dinner being hosted by the company you work for. And let’s say (…)

Spirituality: What Is the Difference Between Thought and Intuition?

Posted by Nuno on 06.09.14 under Life and Society, Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

Your mind operates by going through cyclical patterns. Once you think about one concern, you move on to the next; once you go through that one, you’ll move on to the next – until you’re back at the first concern, or similar. Thoughts are generated “semi-automatically” at the mental level. This means that, much like breathing, you can momentarily take control over (…)

Metaphysics: What Is Free Will?

Posted by Nuno on 28.07.14 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

Picture a flashlight emitting a beam of white light. This one beam of light represents Source — the Infinity, the Creator, etc — projecting Itself as a specific Soul. Now picture that you place in the middle of this beam of Light a translucent prism, which causes the beam to refract into separated rays of different colors, each going in a slightly different direction. These (…)

Metaphysics: How Can Reincarnation Be Real If The World’s Population Keeps Increasing?

Posted by Nuno on 19.07.14 under Akashic Records, Spirituality 101.

Imagine, for a moment, you were aware of what happened inside every passenger vehicle on tracks on the planet — trains, trams, subways — but you only knew what happened inside the vehicles themselves, not outside. It‘s as if all trains had security cameras, and you had access to the feed.

Spirituality: Why We Get Stuck on the Bad and Easily Forget the Good

Posted by Nuno on 15.06.14 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

We are spiritual beings and we are used to the perfect and absolute state of Spirit. Matter, however, is transient, temporary. Physical matter goes through cycles and by these cycles things shift, change, degrade, and fall apart. So do circumstances in life. We deal poorly with matter. We get stuck on the “bad” things because the very event of things (…)

The Energy of Spaces and People: How It Works

Posted by Nuno on 07.06.14 under Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

When you walk into a room and you feel the energy is so heavy you “could cut it with a knife”, what is this energy you’re talking about? Humidity in the air? Toxic fumes? No. you are referring to actual energy, the unseen and subtle “stuff”. Energy may or may not be scientifically understood or measurable – but it can always be felt. Energy is a (…)

Spirituality: The Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom

Posted by Nuno on 04.05.14 under Life and Society, Spirituality 101.

Never take a ‘wisdom quote’ or maxim literally, unconditionally – at least without filtering and adapting it to your experience. Never adopt rigid rules and mottos, because they will distance yourself from the whole truth. A piece of quoted wisdom always represents an aspect of truth, but not the whole of it. It’s not an all-encompassing rule. Rather, it’s a (…)

Synchronicity: What It Is and How to Experience It

Posted by Nuno on 24.04.14 under Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

Picture the first event that comes to your mind, that happened to you, to which you truly would say the words “what a coincidence”. Something that looked like it happened completely by chance. On one specific day, on one specific occasion, the heavens dictated, the stars aligned, the winds whispered, the right people were at exactly the right places at (…)

What Is Spirituality?

Posted by Nuno on 22.01.13 under Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

The word “Spirituality” is very charged. If you mention it to the average person, she will probably think a) religious belief, b) meditation and alternative practices, or otherwise c) a delusional, unrealistic way of seeing the world. Never something natural, organic. But it’s difficult to circumvent it when talking about Spirit. Spirit-uality is the awareness that all is Spirit. This is beyond (…)

Metaphysics: Do We Have Free Will, or Are Events Predestined?

Posted by Nuno on 12.06.12 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

Often two Spiritual concepts may look like paradoxes, but are both true at the same time. This is the case with choice (free will) and destiny. Both ideas, namely that 1) you’re the one in charge of your life, and 2) things that happen are already “predicted”, are true. Allow me to explain. This is, for me, the best, classical (…)

Spiritual Awakening: Regarding Spiritual Discernment

Posted by Nuno on 29.05.12 under Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

Spiritual discernment means assessing for yourself what is true, rather than to follow anyone, or being told what to believe.
