Your Spirituality Resource, Review and Revival Haven!
Ultimate Solutions Spirituality1 pertains to the highest, all-embracing realm that rules all other realms. The spiritual solution to an issue or a problem is the final and most enduring solution possible.
No matter your troubles, sincere seeker, no matter how many things you’ve tried without results – now that you are here, you have come to the end of the beginning of your quest. Here and now you begin to access the inner realizations and resources necessary to start your progress to bliss...
Our focus shall be on achieving results. We shall share with each other, within the framework of high moral and ethical codes, best practices and strategies to enhance our lives. With an open mind, we shall freely and eclectically draw on the wisdom contained in all inspired and sacred texts with a view to deriving practical benefits to improve our lot.
Among such sacred texts that we shall draw from are (in alphabetic order):
the Bhagavad Gita,
the Bible,
the Quran,
the Tao Te Ching, and
the Zend Avesta.
We know that the ultimate forces that control our lives and destinies lie not in the material realm, but in the spiritual causes behind material manifestations. Thus, the Bible says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life".2
The heart is the motive power of the body. So, your heart signifies your motives, your feelings, your vibrations. These determine your life and destiny. We shall learn to use these subtle energies as creative tools to bring about marvelous transmutations in our health, relationships, status, finances and so on - through intelligent direction.
The Guiding Principles In accessing our birthright of limitless living, which is the gift of Life to us, our smartest strategy would be to become identified with this Transcendent Spirit by copying its modus operandi. This would make us channels of Life’s irresistible power and infinite resources. Again, the Bible says, "…the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law".3
This simply means that if you possess these virtues no obstacles can stand in your way - for you would transcend all known limitations. You would be harnessing the nine archetypal forces or vibrations on the Tree of Life and partaking in your Inner Kingdom of bliss.
One of the objectives of this website is to give a clear understanding of the importance and esoteric meanings of the above-listed virtues and to offer resources to aid us in cultivating them in ourselves for the purpose of overcoming limitations and attaining personal success. We shall come to see how all the known principles of high achievement are derivatives of the "fruit of the Spirit" mentioned above and learn to utilize these metaphysical keys, to reap a harvest of abundant happiness and fulfillment through bearing these nine “fruits”.
All our lives we have been taught to cultivate virtues and shun vices. We have been told to love rather than hate, to be faithful and courageous rather than cowardly, to be modest rather than proud, to be generous rather than selfish, gentle rather than brutal and so on. Could it be that our teachers and forebears intuitively sense that these morals are the very spiritual qualities we need to master our circumstances?
Here's a citation from another holy book:

“Build up virtue, and you master all.
When you master all, no one knows your limit.
When no one knows your limit, you can maintain a nation.
When you maintain the matrix of a nation, you can last long.
This is called making the root deep and the basis firm, the Way of long life and eternal vision.”

Truths to live by
Since effectiveness is the measure of truth, I'll give a few examples of how positive, altruistic vibes seem to open doors of opportunity and greatness, from which we can infer that negative, base vibes close the doors to prosperity.
Take a look at the lives of some outstandingly successful personalities. Did you ever wonder why Benjamin Franklin, eminent American statesman and philanthropist, spent so much energy in the cultivation of virtues? Could there be a relationship between this lifestyle and his personal fortune? Could this have been the secret foundation of his phenomenal personal success?
Note what another successful person, Robert Kiyosaki, had to say as part of his recommended process to develop your God-given capacities in his bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad: "There are powers in this world that are much smarter than we are. You can get there on your own, but it's easier with the help of the powers that be. All you need to be is generous with what you have, and the powers will be generous with you..."
Maybe now you understand why John D. Rockefeller was such a generous giver. From his very first paycheck, Rockefeller tithed ten percent of his earnings to his church and went on to become a notable humanitarian and philanthropist. Rockefeller believed his religious conviction to be the source of his success. And to say that it worked for him would be a gross understatement!
So your spirituality or, predominant feeling vibrations, can either be beneficial or inimical to your well being. If, out of ignorance or wickedness, you let yourself be a vessel for the base vibrations of hatred, jealousy, anger and such, they would only worsen your condition and take you deeper into the abyss of limitation, suffering and pain.
However, we are interested in the highest, noblest divine vibrations. We want to free ourselves from all undesirable conditions through intensifying the manifestation of the highest, noblest vibrations in our lives. We want to produce these divine fruits of the Holy Spirit, through a process of self improvement, to achieve the transformation of our lives.
Tests, Trials, Obligations
However, your resolve would be tested and you would have to learn and pass through the trials of life. For only by this means would you awaken to your divine obligations.
Yes, obligations. Providence did not bless us with higher faculties such as we possess just for the purpose of living a selfish, animal existence. You are to function as "the salt of the earth", "the light of the world". You are to "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven".4
Our troubles and pains are with us because we fail in these obligations. Sadly, many of us are spiritually asleep instead of serving God and Man. How else do you wake up a sleeping person than by beating him or her? This is exactly what is happening. Nature afflicts us with pain and discomfort in order to wake us to a consciousness of our spiritual obligations. Consider these quotes by Carl Gustav Jung, eminent Swiss psychologist: "There is no birth of consciousness without pain..."
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate..."
"The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being..."
The pains and afflictions in our lives would greatly lessen, if not cease, once we live the lives of the spiritually awake. The proof that we are awake is the work that we do, the positive vibrations we radiate. "Like the light in the dark of dismal night, let your self stand out as glowing, warm and welcome..." -
