  • Dragon Power

    Dragon Power

    Ultimately, in both schools of thought (and I find this very strange) whether monstrous or angelic, the dragon was said to have remarkable powers of healing and to grant wisdom. Autism, whether it’s attributed to environmental or medical abuses or just a genetic abnormality, has been found to be linked to an over rapid development…

  • Dragon Knowledge

    Dragon Knowledge

    Are dragons an entity akin to angels in the metaphysical world or a species of angel? They are not angels, but not beneath angels. In the beliefs that deal with dragons, there was always a path to meeting with dragons, and it was always seen as intense, challenging, dangerous, because it always involved confronting the…

  • Dragon Guidance

    Dragon Guidance

    What is your personal take on the whole modern resurgence, or rather, a reworking of dragon myth for modern man in the reptilian theory? Well, the humanizing is a semi-enlightenment. The alien conspiracy phobia is a crock though, and really even the whole “alien” idea. Not to say there are no extra-terrestrial intelligences, but humans…

  • Organized Understanding

    Organized Understanding

    Anyone familiar with Carl Jung‘s work? It can be wrapped up simply. He wasn’t swept up by the “age of reason” BS. Carl Jung was a student of Freud’s, but his work took a different track when he looked at a surprising similarity between all world practices and symbolism, and he focused on what these…

  • Enneagram Types

    Enneagram Types

    Each enneagram number has its roots in one facet of human existence, but goes to another. I am a four (4). This number is called the individualist. I’m a very reflective person and delve deeply into my own psyche. I tend to be an intuitive thinker, but when things shift I shift to one of…

  • Blind Obligation

    Blind Obligation

    Tell me friends, how do you come about your obligations? Onerous ones? No, all. Good question. Training from parents. Yes, parents for me too, and husband. Being born. A lot is programmed for me. Voluntarily. Then you are well set, but is all your voluntary behaviour self chosen? Are there many ways to define obligation?…

  • Christmas Spirit by Cheryl Watt

    Christmas Spirit by Cheryl Watt

    You know, spirit is something that I feel changes in the same way the body changes. Life events can alter the way you see the world… Yes, that is stating the obvious. Well, perhaps folks can use a little reminder. Spirit is something that develops with age, it can be nurtured and it can be…

  • Obligation As Giving

    Obligation As Giving

    Not being a part of the system of judgements, which you didn’t yourself create anyway, goes a long way to helping you see the issue of obligation clearly. Ignoring your obligations all together is no more wise than subscribing to everyone anyone passes to you, because other people have held obligations to you as well.…

  • Reaching Out

    Reaching Out

    Do you have a desire to reach out to others? Then you can treat that desire to reach out to others the same as you treat those obligations you hold to yourself, and do it for the same reason. Personal fulfillment. Recognize that you have a use for others, and select those others for your…

  • Confrontation

    Confrontation

    These people you dislike, they aren’t your enemies. They have given you the gift of seeing your own definitions. You can accept that special gift from them, and then not hurt yourself over anything else about them. There is attachment, aversions and indifference to everyone we meet. It’s the indifference with which I am focusing…

  • Imposed Obligation

    Imposed Obligation

    The subject is obligation. I will start with a bit about one of my own obligations. I was sought to do meetings here in Second Life, because they felt I had something to contribute, and I accepted their invitation. This did create an obligation for me. One I respect and honour as the founders of…

  • Obliged to Suffer?

    Obliged to Suffer?

    Does obligation have to be a suffering? No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t have to be a suffering, but it only ceases to be a suffering when we see that we chose that set of obligations, and recognize why we do. See ourselves in it. But, but, but aren’t we “obliged“ to suffer?  Yes. They tell…

  • Joyful Obligation

    Joyful Obligation

    We shape the future by the choices we make now. Do we choose to meet life’s circumstances via joy or resentment? Very true, and where is the awareness of our own joy? Is it not where we are told petty or evil things lay in our being? Is it not from the animal side that…

  • Consistency For Preservation

    Consistency For Preservation

    Today’s topic is consistency. In my experience, people often point out my quixotic nature as one of the things they find uncomfortable about me. I’m basically sort of inconsistent. In general, people praise consistency as a virtue, and of the virtues, consistency is perhaps the easiest to keep to. As the America wrestler “The Rock”…

  • Consistent Incarnation

    Consistent Incarnation

    Is this existence one of the best for the souls evolution? Sort of a really intense boot camp? If you meant to illustrate infinity, how would you do it? I visualize a huge, grid like matrix, extending forever in all directions. Physical reality serves that purpose. Incarnation serves that purpose, and the events that happen in…

  • Soul First

    Soul First

    There is a lot of concern with free will. This is why many shun the concept of unity. We do have free will, or intention, also called choice, but we misunderstand that capacity. We err in our understanding of those choices. Whenever you chose one thing, you at the same time exclude another choice. This…

  • Life By Principles

    Life By Principles

    We praise consistency in most things unless the consistent behaviour is judged negative, but then we still prefer it to inconsistent negativity. The person who’s only erratically negative is much more scary socially for some reason. Is it not true of children that they feel more secure with consistency? Actually, I would debate that. In…

  • Guiding Dynamic

    Guiding Dynamic

    So what in our own being is ever consistent? Is anything? Change? Is the change aimless? If we err but must be consistent, then we must be “damned”? There can be no atonement or salvation, because consistency is virtue? I think we only get aware of consistency when something changes in our life that we…
