  • Psychic Connection to Dreaming

    Psychic Connection to Dreaming

    We remember dreams with the ‘primary’ psychic method. So this is a way to know what is primary for you. It is often why we complain we can’t remember dreams. We have heard dreams described as vivid images, so it makes everyone think that is what they should be able to recall or relate, and…

  • Doubt in Life

    Doubt in Life

    Lately, I have been dealing with the affects of doubt in my life. So the topic today is the impact on doubt in the process of meditation. Doubt is a very common process. We are brought up to engage in the style of thinking that encourages doubt, and honestly, doubt isn’t completely worthless. But to…

  • Why Not?

    Why Not?

    Science has now proved it to be a fact that distance doesn’t seem to matter for “like affects like.” Yet some people hesitate to link quantum mechanics and quantum entanglement with spirituality. They are both difficult subjects. All science was at one time linked with spirituality. The idea that we could look at the world as…

  • Power of Ability

    Power of Ability

    Ego thinks ‘I do’ and that by virtue of ‘myself‘ I must do everything. Thought is not self. Thought is process and we are “created in gods image”. All powerful. Which means we have the power of ability to do all things. Good or bad. We get caught up in the same thing. Ego is…

  • Psychic Doing: Feeling

    Psychic Doing: Feeling

    Ok, so far other posts in this series on Light Metaphysical Practice have only discussed the principles of how psychic function is possible. We haven’t gone into the actual doing yet, and it is potentially helpful to figure out the actual doing of it. Space and time do not exist, thus you remember a contact even…

  • Focus Determines Reality

    Focus Determines Reality

    Focus determines your reality. Your reality is more than what you see with your eyes. Can you recall a time when you really only had one thing on your mind? When you’re doing a task that you’re really absorbed in? Have you ever been in that state where you desired companionship and didn’t perceive yourself to…

  • Rest vs. Stagnation

    Rest vs. Stagnation

    The difference between coming to rest in life and stagnation. Very different dynamics. We often feel that anything in life must be our decision. That we have to be in control. So we often set rhythms in our life that actually raise our general stress level. We think we either have to be driven, or…

  • Force of Will

    Force of Will

    Are we never to force our will on life? People think that without force, without “taking initiative”, we would never express ourselves at all. Never do or create anything. We are told any creation is an act of will. Everything is supposedly hard work. Well, stress happens even if you find the inner way. But…

  • Psychic Doing: Vision

    Psychic Doing: Vision

    You can also try a vision exercise. What we will look at is self directed vision. If you have a stronger sense, it makes sense to use it and use vision to supplement it if you need more clarity. So with vision…the same exercise as feeling, only different focus. Exercise: Focus on seeing. Recall a…

  • The Doubting Psychic

    The Doubting Psychic

    You may be cautious about your mind ‘making up’ a story. If so, don’t believe these words and don’t believe your thinking right now. It is the same process. Don’t believe what your body is telling you. We all take cognizance in exactly the same way. It is all the mind making up a story.…

  • Rest and Recreation

    Rest and Recreation

    The search for rest is what takes so many people into substance abuse. To take a break from their inner chaos. The process that leads to addiction is not “evil” in the person. We do even the harmful things because we perceive a need, but are not always in touch with our real needs. So…

  • Limitations of Rational Thought

    Limitations of Rational Thought

    It seems one of the significant stumbling blocks in both spiritual and practical matters is how we have been conditioned to think “rationally.” We are led to believe that by breaking things down to ideas we label as “facts” that we somehow are engaging in the only sane way of thinking. We are like the…

  • Words as a Road Sign

    Words as a Road Sign

    Rather than noticing what is… We think we know. Yes, and if you know you need not “think” things. You need not construct models of the world in your mind. You will see, experience, and move and be moved quite naturally. We cannot truly avoid thought, but we can know it for what it is.…

  • Psychic Paths: Part 1

    Psychic Paths: Part 1

    There are more paths than this. You may find in your practice that the reflective work is not clicking. There are common elements of the mind, but there are notable deviations also. Mine is one such. The Greeks used to seek out those who suffered from the condition I had as a juvenile to serve…

  • Thinking vs Knowing

    Thinking vs Knowing

    All things we know. I use the word “know” in contrast to the word “think“. They have their origin outside of the reel of our consciousness we recognize as rational thought. How often in all of this rational thought do we ask another, “What do you want?” And they respond “I don’t know”? Or “How…

  • Escaping Control

    Escaping Control

    My own spiritual path is based not on abstaining from passion, but on embracing it. When you truly embrace it and let it consume you, you learn something surprising. This you it consumed is not “you”. Not the all encompassing thing. Some have described me as having strong self control. I don’t actually. I don’t…

  • Spiritual Nature of Distress

    Spiritual Nature of Distress

    Many people consider the joy they find in the path, but if in distress they believe themselves to be off of the path. In fact our spiritual life moves in peace or in distress, in joy or in the “dark night of the soul.” Distress is in fact an opportunity. When we are distressed there…

  • Psychic Paths: Part 2

    Psychic Paths: Part 2

    There is a force in the world that makes the frogs stay in their ponds and guides the birds in their flights. Makes all things seek their place. It is not outside of you, but has a connection to things outside. In magick, it’s the law of affinity. The animals themselves need not normally seek…
