Sex and Spirituality

Julian Rose, Contributor Waking Times Now then – sex and the spirit! The verb sense: sex as an act, primarily of procreation. The noun sense: sex as that which is duality: male and female.

Commercialized Spirituality – It’s a Business, Not The Real Thing

Belsebuub, Guest Writer Waking Times Spirituality is big business, it’s a multi-million dollar industry.

Commerce and spirituality have different values. Spirituality

Thus, the spiritual viewpoint makes it possible to use everything that we do, and everything that happens to us in life, for moving towards the goal of life.
