Spiritual Growth & Ascension

I am delighted to welcome everyone to this Sacred Website - City Of Shamballa, where we help each other with our spiritual growth, upliftment, & healing by giving each other loving support and by sharing meditations, spiritual practices, Reiki, and healings.
 
And you are also welcome to share any blockages or problems in your spiritual journey, for we may be able to help you and extend Divine Love & Light, Healing, and Wisdom on what you are experiencing.
 
We are all divinely connected to one another, for God's Presence resides within every human being.
 
And all awakened souls are helping manifest our 5th dimensional world by continuing to unfold and embody our own Divine Presence through our spiritual practices and the Divine Healings we all need.
 
So sharing our visions of the new 5th dimensional world we are all creating...and sharing our experiences and spiritual practices that are helping us in our own spiritual journey and healing are important in our website.
 
My vision is to create a world where everyone is living in peace and joy and abundance with all of humanity having realized and embodied their Divine Self.
 
So everyone - feel free to share your Divine Love, Light, Healing Energies,  & Wisdom here with posts that help uplift us all, or in any way your Divine Heart guides you to share with us.
 
I extend to All of You Mother/Father/God's Supreme Blessings Divinely Perfect for each of you for your life, for your healing, and for your spiritual growth.
Love, Steve - Admin

    I am an adherent of the Four Ascendant Spheres Purity Adept School of Taoism, (Blue Cloud Variant). I would like to know what your concept of karma is. After I get some answers, I'll explain what it is according to the Four Ascendant school is.You may be surprised!

    This is a Buddhist Temple I was able to visit in, of all places, Flushing, NY. My fiancee and I were able to meet one of the nuns, and were invited to attend a service. This was built the same way it would have been built in Korea. Not one nail was used in the construction, and the beautiful carvings andd paintings were done by hand. Unfortunately photography inside the temple was not allowed.1939075744?profile=RESIZE_1024x10241939075838?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

    While it isn't a part of the Taoist Cannon, there is a text called the Hua Hu Ching which was translated by Brian Walker. In chapter 17, it is stated that one shouldn't worship deities or religious institutions as the source of the subtle truth. This is totally consistent with daojia and daojiao. The different gods in Taoism represent certain, specific qualities which are associated with them, but they are not worshipped the way Christians worship their One True God. The Tao itself is the closest thing to the Christian or Jewish God, but there are major differences. TheTao is impersonal, and pays no attention to prayers or requests, nor does it care whether it's worshipped or not. The main objective of Taoism is to become one with the Tao DIRECTLY without the mediation of a deity. The Tao has given each of us everything we will ever need, so to ask for something is to request what we already have. If you have two arms already, would you ask for another? It's up to you to find within yourself that which you would ask for because you already have it. This takes work, and it's sometimes very difficult. The main thing is to remove anything, whether it's a God, angel, demon or saint, that stands between you and the Tao. That being said, there is nothing in Taoism which says you can't be a believer in another religion or spiritual system as well.

    Welcome to Taoism, Ito! Please feel free to introduce yourself to the other members. I'm looking forward to hearing any thoughts you may have.

    Just read your latest contributions, Paul. They were both very informative, and I really appreciated your contribution. Hopefully, we can get more like that from tou and the other members. Thanks again, Paul, and keep up the good work! Dao An!

    Sorry for my absence lately. I've been rather busy dealing with several rather pressing family issues, but I'll be posting on a more regular basis as things get resolved. Meanwhile, I'll be checking in, and I hope to hear from you. Thanks for your patience!

The First Mind

The First Mind, or Social Mind, is the one you were born with. It is obviously influenced by your family, friends and experience. Unfortunately, this doesn't really present a life map that is accurate and designed to lead to a happy, fulfilled life. For example, have you ever tried to do something over and over again, and even though you followed someone's reasonable sounding suggestion, it still didn't end the way you were expecting? Why did that happen? Chances are, you were following an…

The Chinese Lunar Calendar

The Chinese Lunar Calendar starts on Chinese New Year, which falls generally on the first full moon in February. Each moon is divided into two parts, and each has it's own festivals and celebrations.

Back Again!

Remember the discussion I posted way earlier where I said wherever in the cycle you were, be prepared because it will change? Well, it sure did for me! Since I posted that article, I've gone through the down cycle. First, I went through a foreclosure, so I was faced with nowhere to live, and no internet. I had made a friend right about the time that happened, and we became quite close. When I finally received the eviction notice, I was obviously upset, and went to my friend to let her know what…
