Spirituality for Living

Spirits are not the spooky things we hear about. You sense them daily and the world itself is spirit. The basic premise I operate under is that a spirit arises whenever sufficient awareness focuses and gives rise to what is at least a semi-independent entity, and I also offer that spirits occurred before human consciousness as we know it arose.

The guardians are keepers of a world that is entirely in order. Some of the facets of life we feel positive about and uplifted by, others we fear and seek to avoid. If there were any conflict among the guardians then there would be strong fluctuations in those events we consider good and those we consider bad, and my experience is there is no such thing. They all keep the balance.

Nature of Spirits

Spirits aren’t the rare spooky encounter you hear about in haunted locales. You likely sense them on a daily basis. When you sense someone walk into a room, the sense of presence, their personal energy is a spirit. It’s just a level of being. In fact if you are inclined to visit parks or other less trafficked but living locales, often you can feel a sense of presence everywhere. Though it is sometimes difficult to localize. There are a variety of reasons for that. Probably the most common spirit phenomenon is not so much a spirit as it is a… Seek More

Death and Living

Even death as most define it doesn’t really exist. As science says, energy cannot be either created or destroyed and it’s not. It can only change state. It does. When we die we don’t somehow get catapulted to some other planet, some other realm far from earth. The veil is merely the event horizon for matter. Not really that mysterious if you think about it. Matter is just a pretty limited phase for energy to be in. When we die our energy normally sort of flares up, like a beacon for those who exist in that state. But we aren’t… Seek More

Interpretation of Spirits

When you sleep some people think of it as a low energy state, but in fact it’s a high energy state. And the body behaves as it does because it doesn’t exactly have a tolerance for such intense energy. As you slumber your memory of the day does play out, as that is one of the characteristics of the spirit world. But in fact you can and often do have encounters with spirits on that level. The human mind is sort of strange and it tries to make everything fit into a five sensory mode of perception. This makes things… Seek More

Spirit Contact

We contact spirits in the same way we sense our loved ones at a distance. A divinatory method isn’t absolutely necessary. In fact, you are likely more in contact than you may have realized you are. The contained system we think our bodies and minds to be really isn’t. Just because we incarnated doesn’t mean we are disconnected from spiritual existence. The body is much like a house. It is a cell colony of a bunch of different organisms that we enter into a symbiotic relationship with. We become its guiding intelligence, but in fact, we can open “our” bodies and… Seek More

Methods of Spirit Communication

There are various methods of communicating with the spirit world and the presences that are there. Meditation: One of the most easy methods, and the way most stumble across it, is meditations. At times in meditation one looses themselves enough in a deep open state that a spirit (often a guide) can communicate rather directly with them. There is no special method for meditative communication, you just use whatever technique you use. It can improve the likelihood by meditating when not fatigued or worried. Ritual: For more focused efforts other methods can serve better. Any of you students of ritual?… Seek More

What Spirits to Ask?

Just as you wouldn’t ask me about Europe (me being an American and not well traveled), you should focus any spirit communication on spirits connected to what you seek to understand. That “live there”, so to speak, since omniscience is not possessed by any individual being. Omniscience only exists as the field of all awareness. What spirits know what things? Every spirit is enfolded in what mystics would refer to as a series of correspondences. Example. A fire elemental is enfolded in the “heat” phenomenon. Including passion which is a heat of the life force for any radical expression, but… Seek More

Co-Creation with Spirits

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… Seek More

Life in a Graveyard

There are things that inhabit graveyards, and just not the spirits of the dead. Though the dead aren’t hedged from graveyards either. I once saw one of the dead arguing with a lemure. Lemure is a Roman term, refered to the forsaken dead. They change. This was in a graveyard and the lemure was there to feed. The recently deceased wasn’t having it. When I see them do they look like what would be physical to you? The dead no, they are in a sort of dream like state usually. A lemure maybe, if its been feeding really well. They… Seek More

Night Dwellers

Channelling is usually involuntary. Like those of flesh and blood they want me to do stuff, but don’t want to compensate nor return favours. So I’m generally resistant. But with someone yammering in your ear even if you ignore them… Like example, ever be typing when someone is talking to you and you type a word they say? I do it though I can sort it out, and sometimes I even say things. Depending on how I feel, I will just go with it. Do you remember what they say if you type, or is it only in the words… Seek More

Governing Spirits

I won’t be talking about angels in a traditional sense, but more as a universal phenomenon. In every culture there have been perceived to be governing spirits if not absolute sovereigns of the world. Guiding intelligences that seem to preside over every aspect of the universe, and I do mean universe. In later Greek reckoning the planetary influences were said to be the doing of angelic beings they called Archons, but there have been many thoughts regarding these minor manifestations of divinity. Whether they had independent divinity or whether they were in fact avatars of the otherwise infinite god itself.… Seek More
