Spirituality for Living

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!If you do a thing and you do it right the first time, what must you learn? Really nothing. That is not defining of the human condition, but we make it a part of it. Mostly because as I [...]

There is a simpler word for gratitude, but the word is generally seen in a more abstract light. Gratitude is love.
We didn’t make ourselves. We are not the source of our own advent. We still exist due to a process that we can’t really control and we don’t need to. Gratitude is faith, present centered [...]

What can we focus our attention on? Really we don’t actually ever focus it on objects, is too abstract. The brain always processes any sensory data well before we are even aware of the object. It is how it is supposed to function. Matter isn’t a valid choice for awareness focus.
So seems we are in [...]

I have an issue of action to share. Recently I had an issue with a loss of trust. Major broad spectrum loss of trust. It was activating me like crazy. I didn’t like feeling so badly about people, even about people I love. Well no amount of action was going to fix that. I was [...]

Because of the dissonance in this world, it is deafening. The world screams in pain, and I hurt. There is not many problems, there is only one and it is this we are discussing today. To abstain from it is the code of harmlessness. Love is god and god is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. All [...]

The language gets sketchy. Is mind thinking? Isn’t thinking just an action? Awareness goes beyond thinking. The mind as we know it comes after, not before. It’s automatic and it is why people get so tripped up. They are told to control your mind. Free yourself from your mind. Like somehow you can lobotomize yourself [...]

Now here is something interesting. Some people might think of this total awareness and ask what about direction? What about purpose? Lots of people stumble over things like the law of attraction because in the popular material something is missing. Can’t be helped, it is the nature of the media. But tell me, can anyone [...]

When everyone is infinite, then who is different? Why does difference even matter? Do you believe you are limited?
I am not criticising individuality. I am not deriding the core that allows the infinite to differentiate. When I say namaste I mean it. So when everyone is infinite who is different? We are all individual and [...]

People mistake consciousness for individuality. There is a transcendent and encompassing consciousness. Our ancestors knew of it…Spirits of place. There is also a natural drive to harmony, to supporting the group. Order and disorder balance where there is oneness with the greater consciousness. We see Gaia consciousness as really just regulating simple creatures.
What moved me [...]

Some would embrace their dreams and deny their nightmares, and say that they know what it is to dream. They will indulge in pleasure and shun pain, and say they know what it is to feel. But when confronted with the reflection of what they seek, its mirror image, they ask “why do I experience [...]

What exactly is meditation? There are many definitions. Meditation isn’t an action. That is the tricky thing. Meditation is a settling. A disengagement from action. The techniques are for stilling the mind. We seek to meditate not so much to find a new level of awareness. It isn’t a special state. It’s a primal state. [...]

Gnosis is the concept “as within so without”. Also connected with the concept “as above so below“. That knowledge of self, is knowledge of the principle that originated you.
It is connected to astrology. Astrology could be considered a Gnostic tool. Hermetic philosophy is primarily Gnostic in its premises and the principle even emerges in quantum [...]

Gnosis has many sources. It is one of those phenomenon like the preponderance of certain symbols that co-arose cross culturally. Like the presence of dragons in every world mythology.
The intuition that “god” is somehow indwelling the human soul has been expressed in many ways across all world cultures. The “gods” can be real even if [...]

Divination is not foolishness. It’s just encoded intuitions about life. You get from divination the wisdom you bring to it. It is not a pointless exercise because the gnosis is there. When the student is ready the master appears.
When you have the ears to hear and the eyes to see then divination works. When you [...]

If people barely are able to control their feelings , their thoughts and their actions, how can we hope to achieve a magickal act? Your emotions are linked to external energies. When you recognize the connection then you see that you are acted upon and can act in kind. Astrology is based on observations of [...]
