  • Stoic Practice

    Stoic Practice

    Stoicism did have ‘enlightened’ Stoics.  The goal of a Stoic was to become a Sage. A Sage was someone who sees reality clearly, and is troubled by nothing.  He is thus empowered to impart this knowledge to others, as well as always being able to take the right action.  They did in a sense have monks who engaged…

  • Courage to Act

    Courage to Act

    Courage is a very simple thing, and yet we don’t really tackle it much. What is courage really? Is it some special strength of character that some have and others don’t? It seems we never think we have it ourselves, but we like to put it on others often to their embarrassment. I think we…

  • Wisdom of Courage

    Wisdom of Courage

    The wisdom of courage is just accepting the instability of life. That what you know is already there. Accepting your own limitations, even if you don’t understand them, and living your life anyway. Because really, that life you are living, do you really own it? Do you control it, really? Do you actually have to…

  • Greater Awareness

    Greater Awareness

    Courage is not a well understood factor of life, but we do experience it anyway.  It’s a pretty important part of life, so it might profit us to understand it. Courage is often seen in negative definition only, and that tends to distort it. This is courage as it relates to fear, but every person we call…

  • Engage the World

    Engage the World

    We have not one drive, but two. A will to self preservation and fear, but also a will to power. Courage. A motivation to engage the world. Some soldiers do actually want to see the battle won, and we in our civilian life are not taught to really back up our desires, our goals, or values.…

  • We Belong In Being

    We Belong In Being

    You can internally think about ‘doing the right thing’ with every little thing that you do, or that happens. It’s exhausting. Exhausting and crippling. Who has succeeded by conscience alone? Anyone? And those who complain of never succeeding, are they people of weak conscience? What is conscience but learned values/ideals? Exactly, and is that judgment…

  • Sensing Presence

    Sensing Presence

    We probably all know someone who everyone else thinks is crazy, because they think the whole world is haunted. Well, this crazy person is both wrong and right. Everything in nature has the same sort of presence we do, and some of the things we make even develop them. Now is the world swarming with…

  • Earth Energy

    Earth Energy

    Is anyone familiar with ley lines or dragon lines? It’s been observed that these earth energy paths tend to preserve human imprints. There are both more residual haunting, and even more intelligent haunting, observed in these regions. Now the Nazca planes, like the unexplained crop circles, are observed rune patterns which are the various abstract and…

  • The Great Web

    The Great Web

    Consciousness seems to exist both individually, and as a collective. Holographic consciousness, pattern in a pattern in a pattern, fractals, and also represented in mandalas. The field of consciousness is almost a terrain by which operant agents of consciousness move and act. So consciousness is both agent and object.  The “I am that I am”,…

  • Darkness Teaches

    Darkness Teaches

    Darkness is a part of spirituality, yet there is a trend to censor it in some spiritual groups. No one really likes to talk about the bad side of things, and part of the reason they don’t is either an idea that it somehow makes their efforts impure, or just simply the tendency to label…

  • Dark Hearts

    Dark Hearts

    The darkness of those who lie, like married men who don’t say they’re married. That is bad. Infidelity. Cheating on a partner. Is sex in the virtual world of Second Life with someone married infidelity? To my view, yes it is.  But there are other ways to cheat, and not with sex. The intention is…

  • Question is Why?

    Question is Why?

    Are the spirits really inconsistent about anything? They live within their realms very consistently. Solid is agreement to stay at a certain state. The human inconsistent isn’t about humans having any programming, it’s more about them not knowing that they aren’t actually programmed. Human’s won’t actually claim their domain. It’s not a matter of conscious…

  • Play Your Game

    Play Your Game

    You’re never bored when you play your own game. You’re bored when you play another’s game. This is Dragon Intuitive’s very first attempt at video blogging. If you’d like to see more let us know and we’ll keep improving. Thanks.

  • Classical Cynicism

    Classical Cynicism

    I am not talking about being grouchy, but classical cynicism which is a life philosophy. It’s a philosophy that does have its roots in the teachings of Socrates, and if anything focused on putting them into very literal action. Cynics believed that virtue was sufficient for a happy life, and virtue was in evidence in what…

  • Critics of Institution

    Critics of Institution

    The cynics accept that there were Gods. They were especially fond of Hercules, actually, and from their point of view they were on a mission from Zeus. Did they think of nature as God? Basically they did, and that we should stop wasting Gods time. That was their thought. To the point of view of…

  • Participate in Destiny

    Participate in Destiny

    I’m going to talk about destiny. It’s not a topic people talk about much, but they think about it a fair bit. They wonder if it is, or isn’t there. They think about it when feeling powerless, or when if feels like something else is deciding their path, but destiny isn’t quite so clear cut…

  • The World Is Watching

    The World Is Watching

    People often get into the idea that they are “entitled” to do what they are used to doing, and get deeply stuck in their habits and “set in their ways”. The problem with this is they don’t see that they have options. They have made decisions, and don’t seem to realize they can make more…
