Daily Schedule for the Living an Authentic Life Summit

Day 1: What is Authentic Living?

For Day 1, we’ll be exploring the journey that individuals typically undergo on the path from isolation to openness and freedom. We’ll also discuss the most common problems caused by contraction, such as loneliness, conformity, and much more.

Day 2: Contraction

For Day 2, we’ll be diving deep into the most common scenarios that are caused by and lead to further contraction in our lives, whether it’s shame, addiction, fundamentalism, or even fear — along with the tools to better manage them.

Day 3: Expansion

For Day 3, we’ll be discussing how to recognize the moments when each of us feels at our most expansive and how to enhance these states, as well as how to cultivate love, compassion, gratitude, and working for the common good.

Day 4: The Journey

For Day 4, we will discover what exactly we need to take and what we need to leave behind on the journey towards authentic living, whether it’s building community, deepening our awareness of death, processing how to let go, and many other powerful practices.

Day 5: The Emergence

For Day 5, we’ll be lifting the ceiling on what’s possible. With the dawning of clarity, we’ll be exploring how good things can emerge on the path to healing, as well as the wisdom, creativity, awe, and kindness we’ll be gaining as a result of this transformative journey.

What You'll Learn During “Clear Karma With Forgiveness & Gratitude”

Many of us are struggling to find an easier way to live a joyful and fulfilling life that is an expression of our spiritual nature.

The good news is that mystics, psychics, and spiritual teachers have told us that the energy of Ascension that’s flooding the planet makes it easier than ever to be the wind in your true self’s sails with this powerful evolutionary force.

According to BLSR (Between Lives Soul Regression) hypnotist Rob Schwartz, this is the perfect time to evolve our consciousness so we can tap into divine guidance and prepare ourselves for a Shift into a higher spiritual resonance — and to live in sync with this elevated vibration.

Rob describes this emerging paradigm shift as a completely different way of living in the world — an ascension to a new level — that’s based on thousands of case studies of people who have accessed a higher level of information, and on a growing body of channeled information that he trusts. This new level of consciousness is based on love, peace, cooperation, and the unity of all life.

To reside at this level, you’ll need to let go of the struggle, frustration, and emotional wounds that keep you focused on surviving and prevent you from thriving. In Rob’s experience, the key is learning how to release old karmic energy, limiting beliefs, and outmoded patterns of behavior.

Join Rob and his wife Liesel Fricke, a prolific channeler for the Beings of Light, for a complimentary one-hour online event to gain a deeper understanding of Ascension — and how moving through its purification process allows you to actively participate in your own evolution.

The hour will include channeled wisdom and insight from the Beings of Light that can help you gain access to a deeper level of alignment with your higher self through embracing the liberating energy of forgiveness and gratitude, surrendering any resistance to life, and allowing the loving power of Source to flow through you.

During this uplifting time with Rob and Liesel, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of how life is happening for you, not to you — and experience a powerful inward journey as Rob expertly guides you on a Beings of Light karma-clearing meditation designed to help you feel your own infinite nature as divine love.

Class Topics for Clear Karma With Forgiveness & Gratitude

In this highly experiential event, you’ll:

• See that instead of struggling with karmic repercussions, you can align with a higher vibration to move through life with ease and grace
• Learn why practicing acceptance and gratitude is essential for freeing yourself from karma
• Gain a deeper awareness of the process of Ascension
• Start to access your transcendent self, allowing the Divine to express through you more freely
• Expand your connection to the love that you are — your true essence and nature

Suffering is a signal that there is a change needed. Rob and Liesel will help you let go of your past perception of yourself and what you believed was possible.

They will encourage you to accept what is unfolding in your life — and help you realize that you are far more than what you believe, and you are not on this divine journey alone.

Rob and Liesel have touched the lives of thousands of people around the world, helping them awaken to the truth of their being so they can free themselves from limitations and a hopeless sense of separation.

About Rob Schwartz

Rob Schwartz is a hypnotist who teaches internationally on the subject of pre-birth planning. He offers between-lives soul regressions (BLSRs) to help people heal and understand their life plans. In a BLSR you can speak directly with the Council of Elders — wise, loving, and highly evolved beings who can tell you what you planned for your current lifetime (and why), how well you’ve fulfilled your plan so far, and how you may better fulfill your plan in the future.

Rob is the author of Your Soul’s Plan, Your Soul’s Gift, and Your Soul’s Love. His books, which have been translated into 26 languages, explore the pre-birth planning of all manner of life challenges as well as spiritual awakenings.

About Liesel Fricke

After undergoing an enormous arc of personal evolution, Liesel Fricke, a mystic and channel, now helps people all over the world transform their own consciousnesses and lives through the workshops she co-teaches with her husband, Rob Schwartz. Liesel experienced firsthand that difficult life challenges can be powerful vehicles of transformation when we allow them to crack us open. In response to her own intense struggles with severe obsessive compulsive disorder and depression, Liesel opened and surrendered to the very depths of her being. The spiritual awakening that followed led to her capacity to connect with Unity Consciousness (Oneness) and the loving, wise beings that reside in this state of consciousness who she and Rob affectionately call the Beings of Light.

It is Liesel’s highest priority and greatest honor to share the profound love and wisdom of these highly evolved light beings in the messages, teachings, and meditations she channels. Liesel is thrilled to be working on a book with Rob based on many of these channelings. She is excited to share with the world the powerful love and insight that emerges from the sacred internal and eternal space where all are One.

What You'll Learn At the Fatigue Super Conference 2022

Using a multi-disciplinary mind/body/spirit approach, you'll learn to look at root-cause approaches and practical steps to understand, address and relieve fatigue and autoimmune symptoms.

There are over a dozen potential causes of fatigue, and most people with persistent fatigue have 8-10 of them. That's why it's so important to use a blended multi-faceted approach to discover the specific sources of your fatigue, so that you can take the personalized and unique steps that your body, mind, and spirit need to heal.

And if you don't know where to begin, or you've tried “too many” solutions without success, you're not alone. It's not your lack of effort that's holding back your healing. It's just that the underlying causes go undiagnosed again and again… because focus is often on symptoms rather than the cause of those symptoms.

Fortunately, most of these causes can be determined by your symptoms alone which means that, in many cases, expensive tests aren't necessary. The Fatigue Superconference is an opportunity to stop losing money on ineffective treatments & providers focused on the wrong things…

And instead tackle your path to wellness with renewed vigor, education, and multi-disciplinary support.

Fatigue Superconference 2022 Key Topics

• Gut issues affect fatigue
• Toxins and chemicals can zap energy
• To identify if autoimmunity and thyroid issues may be playing a part
• Limbic disorder, stress and trauma create fatigue
• To identify if mold or Lyme may be an underlying cause of fatigue
• To know if your adrenals or hormones may be playing a part
• To address diet and nutrition for supercharged energy

The Relationship Between Fatigue and Overall Health

Did you know that fatigue is the #1 health symptom stated on medical records?

And despite being a symptom of nearly every chronic illness, fatigue is incredibly difficult to treat because the underlying causes and treatments vary greatly from person to person.

That’s why, if you’re habitually tired, or you struggle with brain fog, sleep, sensitivities, or pain, then you'll want to attend the Fatigue Super Conference 2022.

It’s a FREE online event featuring 40+ fatigue experts and hosted by Alex Howard, Founder and CEO of the Optimum Health Clinic in London, which has helped over 10,000 patients from over 50 countries heal from fatigue-related conditions for 20 years.

The post Fatigue Super Conference 2022 – Recover from Brain Fog, Sleep Issues, Sensitivities, Pain, and Long-Covid appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

Instead, it was created to provide customized, deeply personal ways for people to approach their psychological development and spiritual growth. It was designed as a gateway to presence in our daily lives and relationships.

The Enneagram symbol itself invites us to awaken and “think outside the box” of rigid categories. It gives us a visceral embodiment of awakening and moving beyond the “box” we’ve been existing in.

Given that you have parts of all nine Enneagram types within you… understanding these types within yourself and others will deepen the empathy you have for yourself and those around you.

From there, you’ll be better equipped to see the more meaningful, nuanced experiences in the midst of your everyday life more clearly — no matter what’s happening in our perpetually busy and chaotic world.

In this spiritual growth class, Russ Hudson and Jessica Dibb, two celebrated scholars, innovative thinkers, and Enneagram teachers, will share how your Enneagram “type” is best understood not as part of your identity…

…but as a foundation of understanding for your psychological and spiritual journey.

===================================
↘️ Click Here To Register For Free ↙️
===================================

This deep understanding of the Enneagram’s true purpose can empower you to refine your emotional intelligence, and become more,

• compassionate
• understanding, and even
• appreciative of the fears, shadows, and strengths of others.

Russ and Jessica will share how the uncultivated gifts of your ego can help you shift into embodied presence, kindness, and self-awareness…

…so you can appreciate and celebrate the little miracles found in the present moment…

…free to meet each moment of your life with wisdom, love, presence, and emergent creativity.

About Your Spiritual Teachers – Russ Hudson & Jessica Dibb

Russ Hudson

…has established himself over the past three decades as one of the top teachers and developers of the Enneagram personality typology in the world today. Actively involved in the Enneagram community, Russ is co-founder and president emeritus of The Enneagram Institute, as well as a founding director and former vice president of the International Enneagram Association. He's been writing and teaching full time with The Enneagram Institute since 1991.

Russ has co-authored five bestselling books with Don Richard Riso, including The Wisdom of the Enneagram and Personality Types. These books are widely considered to be not only groundbreaking contributions in the field of Enneagram studies, but also important contributions to the literature of psychological types. The pair developed a scientifically validated test instrument, the Riso-Hudson Type Indicator (RHETI), now considered a standard test in the Enneagram field. The RHETI has been used by numerous Fortune 500 companies.

Russ has a solid background in science, as well as in studies of philosophy and religion. He approaches his work with the Enneagram holding both perspectives. He originally encountered the Enneagram through The Gurdjieff Work, and sees it as a map for personal development and awareness rather than merely as a system for categorizing people. He has emphasized the importance of cultivating presence and mindfulness as a foundation for authentic work with the Enneagram, and has worked diligently to align the study of the Enneagram to spiritual practice, bringing their combined benefit into greater public awareness.

Russ has appeared on Good Morning America and The CBS Morning Show, as well as on several dozen radio and television shows, as an expert on personality types. He has become a popular speaker at conferences and retreat centers around the world, including the Esalen Institute, the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, and the Science and Nonduality Conference (SAND).

Jessica Dibb

…is the founder, spiritual director, and principal teacher at Inspiration Consciousness School and Community, which is dedicated to promoting personal, relational, and planetary wellness. For over 25 years she has designed and facilitated workshops, classes, and ongoing breath-centered trainings that are grounded in an integrated model of psychospiritual healing and development to support self-actualization.

Jessica’s teachings assist people in cultivating consciousness through all stages of life, from conception onward. Using integrative breathwork, psychodynamic principles, movement, meditation, expressive modalities, the Enneagram, and many other established and emergent wisdom teachings, she facilitates embodied awareness of each moment.

Jessica has taught integrative breathwork at the Psychotherapy Networker Conference for over a decade, and has presented at the International Enneagram Conference for the past 20 years. She co-directs the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GPBA), and is the current chair of the GPBA’s Ethics Committee.

Jessica founded and hosts the annual Enneagram Global Summit, co-hosted the Breathwork Summit in 2012 and 2020, and was the weaver and visionary behind the innovative conference Breath Immersion: From Science to Samadhi, at Omega Institute and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Jessica, who initiated understanding of the “unified breath field,” is writing a book on integrating breathwork into psychotherapy.

Jessica’s a founding board member of Convergence, a nonprofit organization working to promote dialogue and innovative solutions for challenging social issues of our time. She was an advisor to the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project, and served on the board of the United States Consensus Council for Search for Common Ground. Jessica is also project liaison for the United Nations Emergency Peace Service Project.

Her deepest passion is supporting evolving creativity and positive possibilities on our planet by supporting awakened consciousness, and the embodiment of love, wisdom, and presence in every moment for all life.

The post Explore the Paradox of Ego With the Wisdom of the Enneagram – With Russ Hudson & Jessica Dibb appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

As you go through life notice the number of times that you would like things to be different than they are.

The soup would be better with a dash more salt.

How lovely it would be if your son put the dishes in the washer instead of the sink.

It would be so nice to have an extra bedroom and perhaps a bigger backyard.

Life would be perfect if your promotion came through and your son got accepted at Harvard.

Why doesn’t someone invent chocolate that makes you thin?

How sad – vacation is almost over. Wonder where we should go next year.

Do I have to go to dinner with those bores? Why did my partner set up that date?

This is, of course, a snapshot of your mental chatter. But your mental chatter is obsessively pre-occupied with telling you how ‘wrong’ the world outside is.

The universe just does not unfold the way it should.

This is true on a huge scale with global problems like climate change, rising polarization and wobbling economies. It is true on a personal scale with your life situation.

Seriously, do you even recall a time when there was nothing bothering you?

What makes you think the world is not perfect as it is without your incessant attempts to change it?

Try this experiment: Note how many times your mental chatter tells you that things need to be changed and you need to change them

Just observe this without judgment.

Then, see if you can simply accept what comes without imposing your will on it.

You are working on a project and your friend calls. Don’t tell him you are busy, and can you talk later? Just chat with him even if briefly.

You want to see a thriller and your wife wants to see a romcom? Go with the romance and try to enjoy it.

Don’t throw up your hands in horror. Won’t life degenerate into chaos if you did this? After all, you can’t let your daughter stay up late if she is to get up in time for school the next day! You have to impose your will.

True enough.

You cannot do it all the time. But you can do it a lot more often than you do.

See how your experience of life changes.

Peace!

The Negative Effects of Chronic Illness

Chronic illness touches everyone in some way.

1 in 3 adults worldwide live with multiple chronic conditions. Millions of people are either living with chronic illness or know someone close to them who is.

We’re overloaded and stressed out, our world is getting more toxic and our resilience to overcome this toxicity, trauma and stress is diminishing, making us weaker and more likely to get sick or chronically ill.

However, as difficult as it may seem, recovery and prevention are possible!

Our bodies are amazingly designed to heal when we clear the path of obstacles and use the right tools.

Are you, or is someone you love, struggling with a long-term health condition?

Darin Ingels, ND, FAAEM, and Christine Schaffner, ND, have spent the last few months gathering the right experts, information and protocols to help you understand how to unlock your body’s incredible ability to heal.

Every day, they help those struggling with chronic illness regain their health through individualized, whole-person approaches…

That focus on determining and addressing the underlying root causes of disease, and empowering patients with the right tools to be proactive in their journey toward improved health.

They’re here to share their wisdom with you.

Learn How To Heal Recurring Chronic Infections

One of the common things that Dr. Ingels sees in his practice are patients with nagging health issues that don’t have an obvious cause or diagnosis.

Symptoms come and go, or they are always there, day in and day out.

They can be vague (like fatigue) and sometimes look like other conditions (like the flu)…

Or there is an obvious infection, like an ear or sinus infection, but it recurs and treatment after treatment just doesn’t seem to work.

These are all reasons to dig a little deeper, because determining the cause and how to address it can take some detective work.

Red Flags That Of Ongoing, Underlying, Chronic Infections

• Recurrent fever &/or chills
• ngoing joint pain not related to an injury or wear & tear
• Fatigue
• Skin rashes that come & go, or don’t get better
• Chronic headaches with joint or muscle pain, fatigue &/or other symptoms

Some Causes Of Ongoing, Persistent, Chronic Infections

• Strep
• Candida
• Lyme disease
• Mycoplasma
• Reactivated viruses

If you’ve been struggling with getting sick over and over, and you’re trying to figure out the root cause of what’s underlying your symptoms…

How To Identify the Root Causes of Chronic Illness and Address Them

• Lifestyle modifications
• Self-care strategies
• Mindset changes
• Self-advocacy

You’ll learn how underlying infections, environmental toxins and chronic stress set the stage for long-term illness and how to become your best advocate on the road to recovery.

Learn How Environment Contributes To Chronic Illness At The 2021 Summit

One of the top underlying reasons people get sick all of the time, seemingly catching every bug that comes along, is our environment.

The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe. Our homes, our schools, our workplaces…

Pollution, toxins in our food and water can all set the stage for long-term illness.

Do you feel like you do all of the right things for your health, but still don’t feel well?

Your environment is everything you breathe in, everything you are exposed to.

When you live in a large metropolitan area, and there is a lot of pollution…

If you live near an industrial plant, if you live out in farm country and you’re getting exposed to pesticides, herbicides…

Any number of these factors can affect your lungs, your nose, your throat, your gut, even your mental health, all of which can impact your immune system.

Our resilience to overcome this toxicity is diminishing, depleting our energy, making us weaker and more likely to get sick or chronically ill.

Dr. Darin Ingels is a licensed naturopathic doctor, author, international speaker and leading authority on Lyme disease.

Also a former Lyme patient, he was able to overcome his own 3-year battle with Lyme disease after conventional treatment failed and he became progressively debilitated. He found that proper diet, lifestyle management and natural therapies worked with his body to heal, instead of against it. He then applied what he learned about diet and lifestyle management in his practice and found that his patients recovered faster and with less side effects. He has now treated thousands of patients with chronic illness using his novel approach, and many have gone one to live healthy, symptom-free lives.

Dr. Ingels has been featured on WebMD, MindBodyGreen, BeWell, ThriveGlobal, Motherly, Voyage LA and Dr. Ron Hoffman’s Intelligent Medicine podcast, and is the author of The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease.

She combines both naturopathic and conventional therapies to develop individualized treatment plans that focus on addressing the underlying cause of complex chronic illness.

Dr. Schaffner is passionate about educating patients and other practitioners, bringing the most advanced medical protocols to all, as well as creating spaces for healing and rejuvenation. Her style of practice is strongly rooted in traditional naturopathic principles, including removing toxins and establishing a strong health foundation in order to achieve optimal health.

The post Inspired Mom Summit 2021 – How to Raise Happy, Healthy, Non-Entitled Kids! appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

We were enjoying one of those pleasant after breakfast chats, supplemented by a free flow of coffee. The doorbell rang and there was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper in her hand and a face that carried an expression of want. Rather a common sight during Christmas.

She very humbly murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around begging money to buy her schoolbooks. She said this to my children and they went inside and brought some coins for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown, especially during Christmas.

From where I was seated I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years, her feet were bare and she wore a dress two sizes bigger than her. She had one of those “nobody knows the troubles I've seen” faces. She spoke in a clear and humble voice and looked me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and speak to her. I am glad 1 did, as the words we shared made a big difference to me. Rather a world of difference to me and my otherwise mundane Christmas.

In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers (local pancakes) and she sold them before going to school. That was their livelihood. She had done well in school. For the new class she was entering the textbooks were given by the school, the list was for the rest. The hopper money was not adequate to cover the list and hence, she was going from house to house asking for help.

Her voice told me the story, her eyes told me that it was the truth. Who was I to judge? I said I'd buy her what was in the list.

We drove to a nearby bookstore. In silence she sat, with a strange look on her face. It's a look the needy have, a hard to believe ‘what's happening to me' look. It's a desperate yet special look. Somewhere along your life, you need to have eaten a lot of bread and salt to recognize it.

At the store the clerk was ticking each item and taking it out of a show case. The little girl kept staring as if dazed. A faint trace of a smile on her face. Perhaps she had never possessed so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, felt pens and such things. We bought her what was in the list and she whispered her thanks in utterances. Her gratitude was all over her face, the happiness sparkling through her eyes. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such simple things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.

As we drove back I could see in the mirror the little girl. All the gifts I've given in my life never lit a face so much. She was clutching the parcel with her little hands and smiling to herself, perhaps thankful that someone had taken the time and trouble to buy her a gift. The total event made us all very happy. Our Christmas became more meaningful, for the birthday had come, we bought our share of gifts, without forgetting the birthday boy.

I've written this story as it happened, in all its simplicity. I share the facts, but not the feeling, unless you too experience the pleasure of buying a gift for the birthday boy. I cannot remember the gifts I've given for Christmas, nor the ones I've received. They are mostly a meaningless social obligation. Yet, I remember every detail of the one gift I bought for the birthday boy, a little gift that did not cost much. I feel very happy every time I recall it. I am thankful that I was blessed with an opportunity to accomplish it.

The birthday is just around the corner. We do not go for birthday parties buying gifts for everybody and ignoring the birthday boy. There are many who represent the birthday boy. Many who would go through Christmas hoping for a little change, a little light, a little shine, which usually is denied. It is not for us to question validities, but to lend a hand when we can. A gift is something we give to make us happy. Buy gifts, by all means buy gifts for everyone, but when you go to the party don't forget the birthday boy.

The post A Gift For the Birthday Boy – Spiritual Story by Captain Elmo Jayawardena appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

I have always loved a small Sufi story: A poor man, very poor, a woodcutter, lived in the forest in a small hut. The hut was so small that he and his wife could sleep …only that much space was in the hut.

In the middle of one dark night, it was raining hard and somebody knocked on the door. The wife was sleeping close to the door. The husband said to the wife, “Open the door. The rain is too much and the man must have lost his way. It is a dark night and the forest is dangerous and full of wild animals. Open the door immediately!”

She said, “But there is no space.” The man laughed and said, “This is not a palace of a king, where you will always find a shortage of space. This is a poor man’s hut. Two can sleep well; three can sit. We will create space. Just open the door.”

And the door was opened. The man came in and he was very grateful and they all sat and started talking and gossiping and telling stories to each other. The night had to be passed somehow because they could not sleep; there was no space. And just then, another knock ….

The man, the new guest, was now sitting by the side of the door. The owner of the hut said, “Friend, open the door. Somebody else is lost.” And the man said, “You seem to be a very strange fellow. There is no space.”

He said, “This was my wife’s argument too. If I had listened to her argument, you would have been in the forest, eaten by the wild animals. And you seem to be a strange man that you cannot understand that we are sitting just because of you. We are tired after a long day. I am a woodcutter — the whole day I cut the wood and then sell it in the market and then we can hardly get food once a day. Open the door. This is not your hut. If three persons can sit comfortably, four persons can sit a little closer, with a little less comfort. But we will create the space.”

Naturally he had to open the door, although reluctantly. And a man entered and he was very grateful. Now they were sitting very close; there was not even a single inch of space left. And then suddenly, a strange knock, which did not seem to be a man’s! There was silence from all three; the wife and the two guests were afraid that he would say open the door.

And he said it. “Open the door. I know who is knocking. It is my donkey. In this wide world he is my only friend. I carry my wood on that donkey. He remains outside, but it is raining too much. Open the door.”

And now it was the fourth guest to be allowed in, and everybody resisted and they said, “This is too much. Where is the donkey going to stand?”

This man said, “You don’t understand. It is a poor man’s hut, it is always spacious. Right now we are sitting; when the donkey comes in we will all be standing and we will

keep the donkey in the middle so he feels warm and cozy and loved.”

They said, “It was better to get lost in the jungle, rather than to be caught in your hut.”

But nothing could be done. When the owner said to open the door, the door was opened.

And the donkey came in. The water was dripping from all over his body and the owner took him into the middle and told all the others to stand around. He said, “You don’t understand. My donkey is of a very philosophical mind. You can say anything, he is never disturbed. He always listens silently.”

Narada, the great Indian mystic, is going to see God. Playing on his VEENA, he passes a forest, and comes across a very old sage sitting under a tree.

The old sage says to Narada, “You are going to God — please ask one question from me. I have been making all kinds of efforts for three lives, now how much more is needed? How much longer do I have to wait? When is my liberation going to happen? You just ask him!”

Narada laughed and said, “Okay.”

As he progressed, just by the side, under another tree, a young man was dancing with his EKTARA, singing, dancing — very young. May have been only thirty. Jokingly, Narada asked the young man, “Would you also like any question to be asked of God — I am going. The old man, your neighbor, has asked.”

The young man did not reply. He continued his dance — as if he had not listened at all, as if he was not there at all.

After a few days, Narada came back. He told the old man, “I asked God. He said three lives more.”

The old man was doing his JAPA on his beads. He threw the beads. He was in a rage. He threw the scriptures that he was keeping with him, and he said, “This is absolutely unjust! Three lives more?!”

Narada moved to the young man who was again dancing, and he said, “Although you had not answered, and you had not asked, just by the way I asked God about you too. But now I am afraid — whether to tell it to you or not? Seeing the rage of the old man, I am hesitating.”

But the young man did not say anything; he continued to dance. Narada told him; “When I asked, God said, ‘Tell the young man that he will have to be born AS many times as there are leaves on the tree under which he is dancing.'”

And the young man started dancing even more ecstatically, and he said, “So fast?! There are so many trees in the world and so many leaves… only this much? Only these leaves? Only this many lives? I have already attained! When you go next, thank him.”

And it is said the man became liberated that very moment. That very moment he became liberated! If there is such test, such totality of trust, time is not needed. If there is no trust, then even three lives are not enough. And my feeling is that old man must be around somewhere on the M.G. Road! He cannot have become liberated yet. Even three lives won’t do. Such a mind can’t become liberated. Such a mind is what hell is.

From Osho – “The Perfect Master”

If you liked this story, you'll love this! We've compiled a list of the top 10 spiritual stories that our readers love. You can read them here.

What Is the Spiritual Meaning of “The Power of Gratitude” Story?

This story, layered with spiritual symbolism, unravels the essence of human longing and the diverse paths to enlightenment.

The old sage, deeply immersed in his spiritual pursuits, seeks liberation earnestly. He yearns to know the extent of his efforts required for freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Yet, when Narada relays God's message of three more lives, the sage erupts in fury. His fervent dedication doesn't align with the perceived delay in attaining liberation.

Contrastingly, the young dancer, seemingly oblivious to Narada's inquiry, joyously dances and sings, deeply absorbed in his ecstatic expression. When Narada reveals God's message of being reborn as many times as there are leaves on the tree, the young man responds with exuberance. He's unfazed by the magnitude of lives, finding ecstatic realization even in the vastness of the task.

Through these contrasting responses, a profound spiritual message emerges. The old sage represents the meticulous seeker, diligently following prescribed spiritual practices, expecting liberation as a reward for effort. However, when faced with delay, frustration and impatience arise, revealing the attachment to an outcome, inhibiting true spiritual growth.

In contrast, the young dancer embodies a different approach. His ecstatic dance symbolizes a state of transcendence, an effortless immersion in the present moment. Unaffected by the enormity of the spiritual journey ahead, he finds liberation in the sheer joy of existence, free from the burden of expectations.

The message here transcends mere numerical counts of lives or efforts. It speaks to the essence of spiritual seeking—an invitation to embrace the journey itself, detached from the outcomes. The sage's frustration reflects the attachment to results, while the dancer's elation embodies the liberation found in surrendering to the dance of existence.

The tale illuminates that spiritual attainment isn't bound by time, effort, or specific practices alone. It beckons individuals to cultivate a state of inner joy, surrender, and acceptance in the present moment—irrespective of the duration or perceived efforts required for liberation.

In the dance of life, the spiritual seeker finds freedom not in the anticipation of an end goal but in the spontaneous celebration of the journey. The story unveils the essence of spiritual liberation—a state of being immersed in joy, detached from desires, and in harmony with the flow of existence.

Personal Reflection Questions

Spiritual stories are an opportunity to reflect on your own life. Here are 10 questions you can use to go deeper with the teachings in this story:

• Reflection on Effort and Patience: Consider the old sage's question about the efforts made for three lives. How does it resonate with your own journey? Reflect on the balance between making efforts and cultivating patience in your life.
• Trust in the Divine Timing: Explore the difference in reactions between the old sage and the young man upon hearing about their future lives. How does this reveal their levels of trust in divine timing? Reflect on moments in your life where trust or impatience influenced your reactions.
• Expressing Emotions: Observe the old man's rage and disappointment when he hears about the additional lives. How does the story prompt you to reflect on your own reactions to life's challenges? Consider the role of emotional responses in your spiritual journey.
• Journey of Liberation: Delve into the young man's ecstatic response to the news of many lives. How does his attitude toward the process of rebirth differ from the old man's? Reflect on your own views regarding the journey toward spiritual liberation.
• Dance as Spiritual Expression: Explore the significance of the young man's continuous dance. How does the story depict dance as a form of spiritual expression or surrender? Reflect on your own ways of expressing spiritual joy or surrender.
• Trust in Divine Wisdom: Consider Narada's role in conveying the divine message. How does this reflect the intermediary role of spiritual guides or mentors in our lives? Reflect on the impact of guidance or wisdom received from others on your spiritual path.
• Responses to Divine Messages: Observe the contrasting reactions of the old sage and the young man upon receiving their respective messages from God. How do their responses highlight the diversity of human reactions to spiritual insights? Reflect on your own openness to divine messages or guidance.
• Totality of Trust: Explore the concept of total trust as portrayed by the young man. How does his trust in God's plan contribute to his immediate liberation? Reflect on moments in your life where trust played a significant role in your spiritual journey.
• Comparison of Minds: Consider the narrative's characterization of the old man's mind as a hindrance to liberation. How does the story prompt you to reflect on the nature of your own mind and its impact on your spiritual progress?
• Hellish Mind vs. Liberated Mind: Reflect on the concluding statement about the old man's mind being like hell. How does this metaphor resonate with your understanding of mental states and their influence on spiritual growth? Consider ways to cultivate a liberated mind in your own life.
