         <title>Days of Future Past – Proof of the LP View of TIME, SPACE, AND CREATION</title>

         <description>&lt;p&gt;Time and space exist, but they aren't what you think they are. Recent experiments in quantum physics prove just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Thank goodness the Lightning Path has it all figured out.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>While My Guitar Gently Weeps</title>
         <link>http://www.michaelsharp.org/spiritual-music/while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-beatles/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;In the sixties, just as right now, the world was awakening. But not everybody was awakening so well. Then, as now, people struggle not because its hard, but because they have been diverted, perverted, and inverted by The System that binds us all. George Harrison saw this clearly, and his song captures the essence of his insight, and the anguish that it causes.  Go figure. As relevant now as it was fifty years ago.&lt;/p&gt;

         <link>http://www.michaelsharp.org/student-only/aging-and-consciousness-part-one/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;I turned 50 a couple of years ago and I noticed something very strange when I did. It was at fifty that I started to incessantly hear the word decline, mostly from the mainstream media. Age, we are repeatedly told, is an inevitable process of decline. Past a certain age you are going to get ...&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Killing the demon inside</title>
         <link>http://www.michaelsharp.org/book-excerpt/discernment/killing-the-demon-inside/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;In book The Rocket Scientists&amp;#8217; Guide to Discernment we discuss the importance of taking a critical approach to religion and spirituality (i.e. winnowing the wheat). So far we have discussed expectations, the problem with low expectations, and the importance of your internal B.S. detector.  At this point I want to move on and introduce to you ...&lt;/p&gt;

         <link>http://www.michaelsharp.org/book-excerpt/discernment/discernment-red-flags-identity-issues/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;The first red flag we are going to look at are the identity flags. As noted above, identity red flags are red flags that point to ego damage in the physical unit. Without going into too much detail about the psychology behind this, ego damage is a problem in message streams because when an ego ...&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;…of all the mystic pioneers of humanity, Christ is in almost every way the most daring and demanding and the most concerned with the brutal facts of this world. His living out of his enlightenment and his realization of his fundamental unity with God has an unique urgency, a poignantly wild passion, and a hunger [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;Humanity used to believe in God, but now they believe in Darwin. This is a bit of an extreme statement, since most people still believe in God, but the sentiment is accurate. Darwin's theories of the MECHANISMS of evolution has had a major impact on th...&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Heart Chakra Blockage – Shaming</title>
         <link>http://www.thelightningpath.com/blog/heart-chakra-blockage-shaming/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the best, and certainly the most ubiquitous, methods of closing heart chakra energies is by shaming. Shaming of course occurs every time someone with a connection to you makes you feel less than the beautiful, bright, powerful, intelligent, compassionate, loving being that you really are. Shaming is a pernicious and powerful energy suppressor. [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;In two others articles (The Heart Hates Too, and The Heart Hates Two) I have spoken about the authentic negative emotions of the heart chakra. Those articles are necessary because lot of faux gurus and fake spiritual teachers will encourage suppression, repression, and sublimation of anger, to the serious detriment of your spiritual, mental, and [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>The Crucifixion Syndrome – Getting Nailed to the Cross Over, and Over, and Over</title>
         <link>http://www.thelightningpath.com/blog/the-crucifixion-syndrome-getting-nailed-to-the-cross-over-and-over-and-over/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Authentic spiritual awakening, activation, and ascension is no joke. Doing it right takes a lot of effort, but at the same time getting it done is not random mystical magic, or pseudo-rocket science. In fact, it is fairly straight forward. Heal the body, prepare the vessel and the environment, and intend the expansion of consciousness into the body. &lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;If I haven&amp;#8217;t said it before, I will say it here, the heart is a hard chakra to deal with. It is the most important chakra in the body, that&amp;#8217;s to be sure, but it is also the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and misconstrued chakra in the body as well. Like our perceptions of gender, our [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;In a previous article I discussed some of the negative or &amp;#8220;black&amp;#8221; emotions of the heart chakra. In this previous article I noted that negative emotions are not wrong emotions. Negative emotions like anger and hatred are not any less divine than love or compassion and are not things that should be suppressed by tapping [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;In a previous article/cast I talked about the right way to see and deal with anger. We learned that anger is not a bad thing, it is just a thing. Use anger correctly and it is a functional and healthy part of the physical unit. Use anger incorrectly and you get discomfort, distress, and disease. [&amp;#8230;]&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Right Expression of Anger</title>
         <link>http://www.thelightningpath.com/blog/right-expression-of-anger/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Anger can be a difficult topic to deal with, especially for the spiritually minded. Many prophets and pundits would have us believe that anger is a bad thing, or that it should be suppressed, or redirected. But that's not true. Anger is a functional part of the physical unit and if you're angry the solution isn't to press it down and pretend you are not, the solution is to confront the source of the anger and deal with that directly. Anything else and you're just asking for dysfunction, disease, and death. &lt;/p&gt;
