Popular Spiritual Ideas
This section will look at ideas popular amongst spiritual people. Right now (Nov. 17, 2009), the only ideas analyzed are whether all spiritual or religious paths lead to the same goal, and the idea if it Rings true, it is true. I hope other ideas such as the following will be added soon.
- You create your own reality
- The law of attraction
- All Masters teach same teaching
- Follow your Bliss
- Perennial Philosophy
- We are All One
- You choose your next lifetime
The goal is not to belittle these ideas as many of them are reasonable ideas and parts of some of them I believe in. The goal is to help people have better ideas so they can more easily live spiritually and more easily discuss their spiritual life with other people.

This essay was written by Joseph Waligore. He dedicated his life to following the will of the Universe when he was 20. Seven months later he received a message from his Higher Self or inner connection to the divine to quit Dartmouth College. Through following a deep intuition in a dream and after many synchronistic experiences, he met his soulmate and married her. He and his wife followed their spiritual intuitions in their daily lives, including receiving messages to have children. For twelve years he stayed at home and raised his three children while his wife worked. Then, his wife told him he needed to make some money, so he got a Ph. D. in philosophy from Syracuse University. He currently has a part-time job teaching philosophy and religious studies at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. More information about him can be found at his MySpace profile. He also has a website with information about his own spiritual journey and his spiritual philosophy.
