NOW
What is a Now Page?
A website with a link that says “now” directs you to a page that reveals what I am currently focused on in my life (inspired by Derek Sivers). I maintain this page to honor my journey and document the events that have occurred or are currently unfolding, serving as a reminder to stay the course and to fortify my commitments and dreams.
Matter is the vehicle for the manifestation of soul on this plane of existence, and soul is the vehicle on a higher plane for the manifestation of spirit, and these three are a trinity synthesized by Life, which pervades them all.
~ The Secret Doctrine, H.P. Blavatsky
Spiritual movement is the development of the higher mind in order that it may carry one’s consciousness to the discovery of truth rather than illusion. Thus, as we change the patterns of conditioned thoughts, we break away from our circular cyclical pattern of existence and enter into a spiral pattern of growth and transformation, as represented by the awakening of the coiled serpent, Kundalini.
~ Egyptian Yoga | Muata Ashby
