Spirituality for Living

I will go into the mystical component of gender identification. In mysticism all spiritual figures are shown with strongly “hermaphroditic” traits. In males, there is a drive to “possess” the female traits. In females, the drive to possess the male traits, and instinct tells us this would be a “more perfect” person.
This often can get [...]

You can see the functions of your mind better than you can “think” them. Thinking being just brain flexing. Example: Shall we identify our cognitive gender identity?
Think of which gender you find yourself working the most easily with, understanding easier in communication, and share if you choose.
Male. You are cognitively male.
Female. You are cognitively female.
What [...]

The subject is gender identification or identity rather, broader than identification. Perhaps some facts first. In utero a baby only has one gender characteristic and all babies develop this characteristic first. Anatomically, we all start out female. As the baby develops some hormonal shifts occur, causing not only gross physical state changes but even biological [...]

Let me guess. You like a whole and healthy world, but you do not like the order that people put commonly on it. You have always felt you had an instinct for how things would be healthy and strong, even happy, and have been very concerned about happiness in general. Likely enjoy animals a great [...]

Have you ever noticed that both angels and demons are elemental, but ordered differently? Example: Raphael and his flaming sword, a fire angel, and fire demons are obvious. Michael and his chalice, a water angel and water demons are heard of also, but more commonly in Asian cultures.
I see what you mean, like a druid? They [...]

My sensory development is unusual, so the context for my experience is different. Some “normal” experience is muted for me and this makes them call me autistic.
Do you have extra sensory perception? Extra-sensory perception is ill defined. For me, my orientation is more metacognitive. For I guess the normal person, sensory information is more attention [...]

For quite a long while I have sought to get a handle on an aspect of my inner life. Strange parts of my consciousness that had no good explanation I had heard, and I really got stuck between a few different models. I needed more details.
I do dream work, but last night wasn’t fully lucid [...]

You can easily create your own bibliomancy book. It would be best if you were in a clear meditative spiritual state.
Grab a piece of scratch paper, because you will need it and it won’t be the finished product, and free associate. Write whatever words come into your head. Don’t “think”, just let words flow.
Then grab [...]

Shall we get down to the brass tacks of bibliomancy?
Actually, I have to back up, then we can. You cannot imagine something that has no basis in reality. Now take a sensitive person. They pick up a lot of stuff, things they sometimes can’t process, but it’s still in their head. Having picked up all [...]

Everyone familiar with the tarot? The imagery on those cards is archetypical, and archetypes are memetic presences at the very least, if not spirits. The “words” behind the tarot were an oral tradition. The images were crafted on buildings and any kind of sheltered structure in one form or another, and the only markings to [...]

Why aren’t people discovering secret meaning in books all the time? Well, it’s simple. Many books are not written to contain the world. Modern books often are dwarfed in spirit so could work a little only, or not at all.
Would the language used also be part of why not? With English, it’s hard to place [...]

Bibliomancy is divination using books, or more specifically words. Some form of bibliomancy has existed for a long time, from runes to prophetic poetry.
Is all about the power of words … i ka ‘olelo ke ola, i ka ‘olelo ka make. In the words the life, the health. In the words, the misery, the death.

I’ve often wondered if laws are a stop gap compensating for the lack of insight because of how we have objectified everything. With no reverence we need laws? With reverence you could not disrespect your neighbour, and of course bad law is not law. You could not steal, nor turn your back when they were [...]
