Space not being a constant, it’s not hard to imagine that planetary travel doesn’t actually have to cross space. With a sufficient grasp of higher dimensional spatial topography, divining and designing means to use hyper spatial pathways would seem rather simple. You don’t have to travel physically. It’s not preferred. It’s true physical travel is unnecessary, but it is possible. And if you choose to do it, you would want a vessel that is as versatile as possible, and perhaps well contained if the planet is otherwise not supportive of your type of life. Thus sky beings are often shown… Seek More

They practiced the dreaming. It’s gone by many names. The Oracles of the Greeks. The Shamans of many cultures. Even the rare savants where the culture didn’t have much of a formal tradition. Prophets among the cultures of the middle east. Ezekiel would have been such a case. There have been many others. There was a time table set not according to any sort of arbitrary standard, but more based on a planetary bio-psycho-rhythm. There was a mark at which the Star Nations intended to return as our peers, or to enact an intervention. At this point, it’s looking like… Seek More

How many of you have seen a figure in your dreams that you could not make out? That gave the inescapable impression of being totally independent of your mental function? We see dream characters all the time. We all to some degree know them for what they are. Are you referring to thought forms or other? I am referring to psionic entities. More advanced and stable than thought forms, and for all intents and purposes immortal for their capacity to persist. There are pockets in the implicate structure of the multiverse itself (humans have called these dimensions by many names)… Seek More

There actually hasn’t been any such thing as truly independent evolution. We all arose and arise under some laws that all sentient beings have in common. So there is a basis for understanding among all species, even potentially empathy. Are you working under the assumption that evolution on different planets or environments follow the same course or outline as earth evolution? The same? No. Not identical by any means, but shares common roots. Without the mindset of our species via evolution, you cannot hope to comprehend the mindset or morals of a different sentient species that have achieved the same… Seek More

Tonight, or today as the case may be, we are talking about Shamanism. Not any one cultures Shamanism, but the essence of Shamanism that has run through many cultures. It has influenced cultural thought as well, but it is a way of thinking, and acting, and being, more than a credo. That’s perhaps the first thing to emphasize. Shamanism is spiritual, but it is not a religion. It doesn’t have the forms or ideas that go with religion, including dogma. There is no single tradition of Shamanism in any culture. Perhaps like the eastern monks or Indian gurus, you would… Seek More

In the world of the Shaman, there is no real separation between the inner world, that we now call the mind, and the outer world, that includes nature. They understood all experience as part of one single world. If the life energy is doing it, it’s real. Everything is meaningful? Yes, but not necessarily of great meaning. Shamans often saw little events as nothing more than spiritual mischief or humour. It would probably benefit people a lot today, if they didn’t take things that popped up in their head as if every one were a crisis. The world of sensation… Seek More

Perhaps some examples. Shamans actually tend to specialize. It was considered that a Shamans gifts and personal spirit suited them better for some things than others, though they did explore the spirit world in general as a rule. Everyone familiar with Crazy Horse? Or from eastern society, Genghis Khan? Khan was very famous, and he was a Shaman among his people. Leader of the Mongol and would come to conquer most of Asia and a large part of Europe as well. His specialty as a Shaman was prophecy. He would use various methods to induce trance and seek the guidance… Seek More

The Shaman comes to know the spirit personally, and they learn more than just how the spirits affect humanity. They learn how the spirits relate to each other, and just as when a fight breaks out in a tribe, a little bit of reason can lead to peace being restored. They saw troubling events in the world as coming about because of a disharmony in the spirit world. This is where the Shamans spirit mentor came in. There have been many forms of spirit mentor across the world, and they were always discovered on a very personal basis. But your… Seek More

Want a general example of how to do Shamanism? Well, you can just let your spirit wander, but they call that day dreaming these days. So let’s actually chose a focus, something we want to understand, or a problem we want to solve and issue we want to overcome. If you care to share, I will give the next instruction. It will differ from situation to situation. It’s more of an art than a science. Hmmm, thinking. In Shamanism, even thinking is communicating with spirits. Usually minor ones that are very short lived, like fruit flies. This is why Shamans… Seek More
