  • Real Demons

    Real Demons

    Whenever there is a “demonic” sighting they dismiss it as mass hysteria, and they are right in a sense. Mass hysteria is a great deal of stressful psychic energy, and this has been proven even scientifically. In patches of desert with heavy quartz and granite deposits many reported “hallucinations.” In the presence of intense energy…

  • Born of Hate

    Born of Hate

    Are you familiar with the term synchronicity? We protect our inner demons because they have meaning for us. This is why we created them, and they do indeed manifest both as a social shift due to scapegoating, and as weird synchronicities if they are heavily charged.  There are meaningful events linked to the meaning of the inner…

  • From Obsession

    From Obsession

    A Buddhist story. The monk says there are two wolves inside me. One is angry and fighting, the other is kind and gentle. He was asked which one will live, and his answer was the one I feed. The metaphor is apt. If your inner demon is a hateful wolf, you need not feed it.…

  • Master Your Demons

    Master Your Demons

    Can inner demons be channelled a good way? Yes. In eastern beliefs, the Oni, a.k.a. demons, were crude, sort of dim witted and very violent. But they existed to enact the justice of heaven. They were moved when heaven recognized a wrong, and they were the active agents of correction. Now keep in mind they aren’t…

  • Post-traumatic Nihilism by DonJuan Writer

    Post-traumatic Nihilism by DonJuan Writer

    Yeah, so I’ve worked out the pointless, purposeless, meaninglessness of nihilism And the implications of what pointless, purposeless, meaninglessness implies, It places any certain logic, thus consequences, in an arena of surrealism, On me, As yet, Still no flies.

  • The Importance of Tolerance in Spiritual Life by Adrienne Carlson

    The Importance of Tolerance in Spiritual Life by Adrienne Carlson

    As human beings, we are subject to a number of emotions and feelings. It is the sixth sense that we are blessed with that enables us to feel much more than animals and other life forms, and it is this sense that teaches us the difference between right and wrong. While most of us stick…

  • Arbitrary Moralism

    Arbitrary Moralism

    A lot of people look at darkness as a negative. I’m not one who does. Nor am I. This is why we have the discussion group on spiritual darkness in Second Life. It’s to learn from this side of the truth also. When others refer to driving back the darkness, I know they mean the…

  • Stuck On Stupid

    Stuck On Stupid

    I wish I could stop and reflect more often. What stops you? Not sure, partly personality. I ask a lot of questions. Questions can be patterned in a concerning way. Questions are always coherent with patterns of thinking, either perhaps corresponding to therapeutic method, or religious prejudice, or emotive bias/temperament. Sometimes they don’t maintain coherence.…

  • Heretical Christianity

    Heretical Christianity

    Originally, Gnosticism was just seen as a heretical branch of Christianity, but other evidence points at it having had a different origin and a viral tendency. It infiltrated not only Christianity, but Judaism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism also. It was sort of a novel idea for the time. Sort of like the religious equivalent of the…

  • Gnostic Reality

    Gnostic Reality

    The different schools of Gnosis have differing attitudes about reality and the creator. From Jehovah being genuinely evil to just being fallible, and from any partaking of reality as being damning of yourself to the problem being misperception of reality. Asceticism? Yes. To a most meditative attitude, mostly. Some say you can’t achieve gnosis without…

  • Individual Emanation

    Individual Emanation

    The Gnostic divinities are in the realm of the emanation, in the realm of self knowledge. Gnosis is a quality of the individual emanation, and not a body of knowledge that is fixed and must be accepted. Mandean and Manichean Gnosticism even reached China. To know yourself is to know God, i.e. all divinities? Yes,…

  • Self Thinking

    Self Thinking

    Ego is the subject, and ego is in a way all subjects and all subjectivity. We are drilled pretty heavily in the ideas and activities of ego, and in a lot of things we are supposed to do about selves. What would we do without all this self thinking? Without all this self thinking we…

  • Inner Jungle

    Inner Jungle

    What is the way to self experience? This nature that people distrust, the nature that people disrespect because it’s amoral, unfeeling, unkind, these are all human judgements that denote a human understanding of nature, and we have to make it “better” for us. This reminds me of a Buddhist talk I heard. He asked people…

  • Who?

    Who?

    There are a lot of very strong opinions on ego. From what exactly it is, to how important it is, to what it means if anything, and how to deal with it. We have a “self.” When you take a moment, and aren’t giving your attention to anything or anyone else at that moment, you…

  • No One

    No One

    You have the realization that you are not your view of yourself and that you are not restricted to your conditioning. That you can live life regardless of the pulls of attachment. You can then of course pursue a moral creed, some religious doctrine, but is that yet another attachment? So you are left with “now…
