Spiritual surgery

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  The ink of my thoughts today is thick, heavy, as if saturated with the very matter of the earth that I am trying to transmute into spirit. I sit in the silence and listen to time dripping—steady, relentless—while a painful anatomy of existence unfolds before my eyes. There are moments when the metaphor of the spiritual oasis is no longer enough to withstand the pressure of external degradation. We often deceive ourselves into thinking that our inner light, this fragile flame of personal goodness, is sufficient to illuminate even the densest darkness outside. But today, in this space between the breath and the prayer, I realize a harsh truth: when necrotic cells appear in the fabric of reality, humility ceases to be a virtue and becomes complicity. Surgery is not an act of hatred; it is an act of supreme care for the whole. There is a specific, conscious insolence , a malice that walks unhindered through the temples of our daily lives, and it cannot be cured by passive waiting. F...

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to enlighten, guiding us t...

Karmic Payback: Here and Now

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  The concept of "instant karma," where one experiences the consequences of their actions immediately, is a fascinating topic that has intrigued people across cultures and centuries. Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, the idea suggests that the universe responds swiftly to our deeds, rewarding the good and punishing the bad. The German proverb, "God punishes small sins immediately," echoes this belief, highlighting the notion that no action goes unnoticed by the divine forces governing the moral order of the world. Instant Karma: The Concept and Its Significance The term "instant karma" popularized by John Lennon in his 1970 song, refers to the immediate repercussions of one's actions. It aligns closely with the Hindu and Buddhist concept of Prarabdha Karma , which is the portion of past karma that is currently being experienced. Unlike other forms of karma that may manifest in future lives, Prarabdha karma is seen as the karma that is ripe and re...

The Gift of Self-Reflection: Insights from a Sea Retreat

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
 Each year, my annual journey to the sea is more than just a getaway—it's a profound experience that offers unforgettable moments and invaluable life lessons. The sea has always been a mirror, reflecting back to me the essence of who I am, offering a form of self-remembrance that is both humbling and enlightening. This year was particularly special. It presented an opportunity to see myself from an external perspective. Rather than delving into specific details and events, I aim to share the internal journey—my feelings, reflections, and realizations as I navigated through various situations. Life's lessons often come in stages, much like a school curriculum. First, there's the theoretical introduction, laying a philosophical foundation. Soon after, life presents a test to see if these lessons have been truly integrated and can be applied in practical situations. This year at the sea, I encountered such a test. I've always had a persistent desire to observe myself objec...
