inviting you to the Path of Conscious Living 

Welcome to our Open Forum, where we offer insight on the challenges we all face, and seek the guidance of  our Spiritual Path... and today we must examine

The danger we are to ourselves.

The ancient teachings tell us that we are ‘Ego Centric’, or if you prefer ‘Self Centered’- that means we see the world through our own perceptions, and more, we place ourselves in its center.

Yes, if you truly love someone you will want them to be your ‘center’, or at least consider their wellbeing over your own [for those of you who are still romantic].

But even in these circumstances you cannot help but see them through your own eyes…which too often is very different from how they see themselves.

Now all this is quite normal and nothing to worry about… after all, you are not training to be a ‘profiler’ no matter how intuitive you may be.

Spiritually this Self Centering has very important implications, for it places EACH ONE OF US in the center of our Creation… basically we are now responsible for ALL that happens in our life… or at least, how we choose to respond to it all…

[I can hear some of you getting quite upset by this, so let me explain]

There are 2 major Laws that govern this -  

Energy follows Thought  [basically the way you think, and what you think, shapes Energies to become that]

As Within, so Without  [whatever qualities and beliefs are inside of you are externalized into your Aura, and through its Magnetic Qualities, now attract more of the same]

Thus, if you are angry, upset about all the idiocies around you, frustrated by the unfairness of the circumstances … well, guess what, YOU are now giving them more life, allowing them to dominate your reality.

It gets even worse when you believe you are being victimized, or believe that you have ‘a curse’ placed upon you… for now YOU are participating in this, and by agreement, you allow it to be part of your life.

Pretty heavy stuff … so what can we do about it…?

First, realize that even if a part of you feels caught by all this, it is not the whole of you - in fact, most of you is still that gentle, kind, loving Being that is equally powerful, and also has the ability to shape reality in its image.

Secondly, practice Beauty - by observing anything which is beautiful to your eyes, or listening to uplifting music, or smelling scents that are soothing to your inner being … all these engage the Senses to connect you to positive Energies.

For most of us Nature will do the same, bringing a sense of peace and harmony.

Thirdly, practice Stillness [remember that drama is agitation, thus Stillness is its cure]. Meditation, Breath-work, Flotation Tanks… all can help you achieve Stillness… or at the very least take 5 minutes every day to sit, close your eyes, and simply rest.

While you cannot avoid the upcoming chaos, and its world impact, you can choose how you’ll respond to it, so feed the parts of you that are loving and radiant … and in that Spirit will evaluate your level of achievement.

And one more thing - if you believe in ‘pre-emptive strikes’ [‘he was going to hit me so I hit him first’]… what does that say about you, that you consider violence to be the solution …?

The future is going to be a challenge - how you choose to meet that challenge is up to you… and always, always remember Karma, for it follows you unto many lifetimes…

And so I greet you all, my beautiful Brothers and Sisters, we are not alone on the Path… Namaste...

A Very Special Offer

I have always believed in supporting my community, and today more than ever we all need this support... so -

For the month of October I am offering free Healing / Counseling sessions, either in person, at my office, or by phone.

Also - many of you have suggested a number of wonderful classes which, while very important, do not currently fit in with our on-going programs... and so I am offering one-on-one, private classes at a much reduced rate. [$ 20 per session, versus the standard $ 90 fee]

You will be able to select the subject you want, and together we’ll set up a time to meet, either in person or by phone.

Each session will be between 60-90 minutes long. 

If you are interested please contact me at 303.525.7223 or email pathtospirit@gmail.com.

Please feel free to reach out with any suggestions you may have.

Thanks, Mario

Notice of Change of Location

Hi y’all ,

I wanted to let you know that I am no longer working at the Shining Lotus Bookstore.

I am still available for Readings / Counseling / Life Coaching Sessions ... and can be contacted by phone at 303.525.7223 ... or email  pathtospirit@gmail.com.

All sessions will be held at my office  4155 East Jewell Ave. Suite 1102  Denver 80222

I am also starting a new one-on-one, private classes / mentoring program ... more information is available though my website: yourpathtospirit.com.

I first started at the Bookstore in 1996 and it has given me the opportunity to serve my community well... and I have truly appreciated that.

But for quite some time I’ve wanted to take my service to a different level, and now that opportunity is here... and so I am excited to embrace this new, creative Cycle.

Over the years many of you have offered some excellent suggestions - I truly welcome any thoughts you may have on projects / classes / services...

Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
