Spirituality for Living

All things are dance, and those truths we poke at are the song of the piper. Never winded. The wind is his breath. All voices his voice. At any given time someone is thinking, and someone is speaking. Someone might laugh and someone might cry, and the breath with the beat of hearts goes on and on. Even the sun itself pulsates and it’s such a sweet music. Silence is the running theme. Sound exists only in silence, and the deafening thunder echoes eternally. Thunder of the silence. The still point. The zero point field. All sound is a variation of that one theme.

Everything makes sound, even the events that don’t happen. The prophet hears the whole symphony, but speaks only of a few instruments.

How come no one ever wonders what the sound was? The tree could have said ‘Ouch!’. It does say ‘ouch’, and nothing, and screams like [...] Continue to Seek…

Is karma just incidental? No. It is a principle of interconnectivity, not unlike gravity in space. Our spirits have a gravity, and it can attract good things like the light of the sun, or bad things like comets. Our spirit or energy isn’t a constant. It can’t really be. We are organic creatures and sort of changeable compared to other things, but we can observe a pattern to our lives and we can make decisions based on this pattern.

There is an old saying, nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so. There have been plenty of examples of that in peoples lives. The first owner of Macy’s had his store and everything in it burn to the ground when he got it started. People asked if he would give up. He simply refused. Just said he’d rebuild. He and his descendants are now filthy rich. Though [...] Continue to Seek…

Karma is a sort of tricky topic. Karma isn’t a force unto itself. It is more an aspect of other forces in life, like thought and emotion. Everything that transpires around us and in us has a karmic trait to it. A degree of impact, and it doesn’t have an effect entirely of its own merit. Nothing that happens, happens all by itself.

People mostly think of karma as being an idealized justice system and this is mistaken. As a force by itself it doesn’t even exist. It’s more of a quality. A facet of other forces. Any thought, emotion or action carries weight and has a measure of substance behind it. It is sort of like a psycho-spiritual mass. This aspect of its existence could be called karma.

The forces don’t exist in a void. They are an interplay of various forces from countless sources, counterbalanced or outweighing other factors. [...] Continue to Seek…

Is someone a wise weaver of the universe fabric? Actually no. There is a heart to it all. A sort of hyperspace. The place in Buddhism called Nirvana is not oblivion. The home of the “ascended masters”. Ultimately it’s all a creative effort. A growing up and into our full potential. The angels are our elder siblings, but even they need to see what we are learning here. There is no group that is alone.

It all points to the same nameless, yet relatively observable experiences. These are the fabric of this existence itself. No one gets lost. The dark reaches and the light are not one above the other. They are side by side. Everywhere telling the tale. The great wheel ever turning.

To see things as they really are, you see it’s the axis of the flipping that is real, not the polarities.  And the boundaries are blurry. Yin [...] Continue to Seek…

It has been said that each persons life has a single theme at the heart of it, and you can discover that from reflection. It is not the same for every person, but it comes from a thread that permeated their whole life, even childhood. It arises from temperament as well as other factors. It might be to fully engage life. It might be to fully actualize self. It might be to challenge themselves and others. If you find this theme, your true potential can actualize.

In my case, ‘be myself’ was the theme. I have very strong instincts, and a nature that has been described as strange. All my life due to my disability as well as other factors, I have had to ignore “guidance” or “common sense”, because it could not or would not account for my unusual strengths and limitations. So by accepting my “strange” nature, I can come [...] Continue to Seek…

There is co creating with specific non-incarnated entities. It is common, and it is the foundation of concepts that motivate things like Japanese filial piety. They work with us all the time. They tend to work more than we do.

The Japanese observe death related religious practices, because they believe they still affect our lives. They weren’t the only ones. If you want to refute a metaphysical view, you can just say it’s cellular memory. The spirit world is not separate from this world, and it’s not so simple as all in or all out. It is actually big and sort of wide spread (though behind the scenes) concept.

It may feel like an entity is a part of you, and yet a different personality with extensive knowledge like intuition given a face. This is psychic embodiment. For example, your animus or masculine spirit could have become an embodiment of your intuition. [...] Continue to Seek…

In a sense I am of two minds. It is even the focus of our MySpace comment. There are many minds in a single soul, but in truth reconciling I am of one mind. They say love is a law, the highest law. Inside of me there is a part that rages, is impassioned and detached at the same time. It takes joy at the destruction. The paradox is true. My rage isn’t about hate. I feel tension and pain in my being and in the world, and trying to find peace seems like a lost cause. I am leaning more and more toward the conclusion that it is, and so the “man” in me who wants to live in peace is beginning to agree with the other self. There is peace, in theory, but it isn’t a peace between me and people.  It’s a peace between me and [...] Continue to Seek…

For me, anything I get deeply enmeshed in seems to have a death clock start. There is a powerful creative initial surge, and then it winds down. I can feel the event playing out and losing any life. Sometimes this is healing for the person, and whatever falls apart needed to for their best interest. For others it’s just a stillborn possibility. I am sort of learning to be more volitional with this, but for the longest while it seemed like a storm that I just had to weather. It is why I embraced a lot of the symbolism I have. It is just expressing a fact of my metaphysical life.

Did omens around the events help you become more volitional on purpose? Yes. The circumstances I was getting in were repetitive, but my state wasn’t. The eventual decay of my composure came hand in hand with insights. Repeating omens [...] Continue to Seek…

Do we hurt it if we ignore or deny an omen? We can, especially if you are deeply connected to the event matrix. The omens are in part a manifestation of your very personal energy. It meshes with other energies, and if you resist a heavily weighted event it can feel like being psychically drawn and quartered. If you don’t play your part you stem the flow. The tide pulls whether you sink or swim.

Do all events have omens or just big ones, or is it a sliding scale of sorts? It is a sliding scale. All events have that metaphysical echo, and some events echo but don’t happen. Not in a way we would notice though there is a connection between that and deja-vu. In every situation where you ever had to decide between paths, energy went into all paths or you never would have noted them. Your [...] Continue to Seek…

Omens are phenomenon that occur independently of any “practice” you might be involved in. They are like the little signs that occur before a quake or volcanic eruption or a violent storm, and this is part of how you can recognize an omen from an unrelated event. Because daily you also move through events that have come about from energies you have no link to, and you won’t feel any great connection to it.  It is sort of like chaos theory. Before any event actualizes there is still a force in play that the event will arise from. It is also linked to the butterfly effect. The law of attraction is a manifestation of the butterfly effect.

Omens are synchronistic. Really that’s all an omen is. They are the flow we swim in. They’re the eddies formed when a bunch of powerful flows begin to convene.  They aren’t guaranteed to actualize, but [...] Continue to Seek…
