  • Live Life

    Live Life

    In seeing the illusion you can see the reality behind it, but many stop there. They see how they, and their teaching, was mistaken, and that attachment is the source of suffering. Then they become detached, and stop there. They bring a spirit of detachment to the world, and when confronted with attachments they won’t…

  • Food Magic

    Food Magic

    Food magic is not unlike many other disciplines, and it can both be tied to healing magic and self transformation. “What you put in” is perhaps one of the core principles of all magic. But the term sorcery, literally means putting in and taking out. There is a lot to consider with that, and dark…

  • Food Energies

    Food Energies

    Is color a primary way to identify foods and purpose? Color and smell. This was how alchemists worked too actually, and how many of our modern chemicals got a lot of their descriptive terms assigned. Some rather poisonous fluids smell like water. But yes, as I compared them earlier to shamanism, anything in your cooking…

  • Food Relationship

    Food Relationship

    Maybe an illustrative exercise. Someone want to pick a food? Carrots. Ok, good pick. To the Native Americans carrots were a person, and so was corn. If carrots were a person, what kind of person would carrots be? Upper body strength. Rooted, Bright. Ok, earthy and bright? They are hard, and break when they are…

  • You Are What You Eat

    You Are What You Eat

    Getting stuck on eating the same foods can get our lives in a rut.  The same with music. You eat color. You eat texture/touch, and you eat sound.  Tell me what you eat habitually. I will tell you about your personality. Green tea. Thinking, and like the outdoors. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Earthy and…

  • Islamic Mysticism

    Islamic Mysticism

    The Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism. Sufism is Islamic mysticism, and though having been influenced by Sikhism, it isn’t Sikhism. Have you noted that Islam seemed to be far more scientifically tolerant than Christianity? It’s sort of ingrained into the original native culture of Islam. They were even the ones who preserved the c-section, astrological charts,…

  • Gods Insights

    Gods Insights

    In Sufi psychology, they refer to humanity as having three parts: physical being spiritual heart transcendent godlike soul The dervish dancing was a way of exhausting the body to open awareness of the heart, because only by the devotions of the heart can there be knowledge of the soul. It is believed that people are…

  • Sufi Practice

    Sufi Practice

    Sufis don’t have a single set of practices that apply to all disciples, thus the absolute need of the teacher. The Sufi master is the only one in their view who has the insight to help a disciple pursue the practices in a way that would have any merit. Otherwise, it’s believed that rather than bringing…

  • Weird

    Weird

    Each day comes and goes, and when it goes, it really goes. Where does all that energy we expend on any given day go to? It seems we can’t really control what sort of impact our day’s activity will have, because everyone else is having the same sort of day. Together, we strut, and fret,…

  • Avocation vs. Vocation

    Avocation vs. Vocation

    Avocation is also known as ones “Calling.” We all deal with the realities of vocation in one way or another, but that is not the same thing. Your vocation is just gainful work you do because someone employs you to do it, and it can be completely arbitrary. Avocation is what you will do from…

  • Way of Being

    Way of Being

    Destruction is sometimes the way to get the wall out of the way of a creative person, or destroy the philosophers principles so they can find better ones. The person whose calling is destruction, brings the gift of strength. The person whose calling is fundamentally creative, brings the gift of possibilities and hope, but avocation…

  • Self Discovery

    Self Discovery

    Avocation = calling, or that which you find yourself doing even when you intended to do something else. If you feel your body is a gift to use to help others, that may be your calling. Some peoples magnum opus is powerful labour. Magnum opus? Latin. Great work, and also the term for the spiritual…

  • Our Calling

    Our Calling

    The topic is avocation, and we won’t be talking about your career unless it’s noticeably congruous with your nature, but this isn’t most peoples experience. Avocation is calling. It’s what we find ourselves doing even when we don’t feel we are doing anything really at all, and it stems from our nature. We all know people…

  • Our Question

    Our Question

    We all have one question. It’s really pretty easy to identify this one question. This question is about life. The question isn’t about ourselves.  A very young human being just sort of accepts that they are here and things are around them. They don’t go much farther than that as far as purpose goes. The question…

  • Understanding Avocation

    Understanding Avocation

    If your calling is the philosopher, you function on meaning and principles, and if a situation seems to have no principle you feel lost. Me, I function on rhythm or cycles, flow. I function on chaos. When the fire stops burning then I wonder what’s up. Creating chaos? Ah no, I don’t need to create…

  • Be On Purpose

    Be On Purpose

    If your life seems repetitive, don’t sweat it. It’s just your soul trying to give you a message. If you are out of connection with your avocation, life will seem very stagnant. Fake. This applies to everyone, because for you it’s true. You aren’t in touch with your own reality, so how can you be…
