Spirituality for Living

The earth itself has an astral component. A realm of existence that would correspond to its very own astral body. In shamanism this is often referred to as the spirit world and even the departed don’t usually leave this psychosphere of the planet. This is in part why mediums aren’t actually very challenged in reaching [...]

The daemons are not the monsters even in angelic lore. The idea that angels are creatures of beauty and demons horrible monsters is false. Those who tend the darkness are truly kindly but the big scare isn’t demons, it’s yourself.
Yourself made manifest in all its terrible glory. So astral journeying can have a use and [...]

Can our mind be a key to the physical world? Would you be able to change the outcome of physical objects? In fact yes, to a degree. The exception to that rule is that you aren’t the only mind. There isn’t just your will. There is everyone, so it results in a consensus. We create [...]

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 [...]

How did Satan as a figure get into the Christian story? It stems from a schism in Semitic faiths, and the catholic or “universalist” agenda of early Christianity. This schism in Semitic faiths echoed even in Egyptian religion. This is why there was a conflict between them and the Egyptians. Set was a Semitic deity [...]

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 [...]

Satanism is a descriptor some people have applied to other beliefs versus a belief itself? It has evolved and some have accepted the related ideas. Basic teachings of Satanism are:

Ecstatic practices
Self acceptance
Embracing both the darkness and the light in life

The most public Satanic church is in fact almost atheistic. It acknowledges human need for religion [...]

Jainism is a religion of Indian origin, but with a minority following that may be the oldest example of an ascetic religion in the world and does still exist today. It shares many concepts with Vedantism, also known as Vedic Hinduism, but differs in its emphasis on the individual and the sanctity of the individual [...]

Jains see every Jiva as being in a relationship to every other, including the angels and hell beings. Much of the imagery of the Buddha being confronted by demons comes from that belief.  But unlike more common beliefs, the angels and demons are equal to humans. So reviling demons gives you negative karma, and attachment [...]

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 [...]

Angels and demons are all the same, and humans just started dividing them all up with concepts of good and bad? Originally they were the powers that governed all aspects of life, literally all, even Nasragiel the keeper of the gate to hell. And it was heavily debated even in early Christianity what ones conduct [...]

To date, even in modern parapsychology, much of the old understanding of angelic powers is gone. There are still reported encounters or sightings of unknown beings that behave much like the “angels” of old. Though without any seeming divine agenda nor a malicious one. The Mothman might be the most readily apparent and the dialogue [...]

We can perhaps call a familiar spirit if none have noticed us, and we can also select as well? One might not have the qualities I’m looking for. Yes actually. If you want to connect more with say a primal force, you can open yourself to storm spirits. The progression of a familiar bond is [...]

The Demiurge has manifested in many ways, many guises, Loki, Ahriman, Iblis, the being of “smokeless” fire who refused Allah’s edict to serve man. It’s a very long list. Horus. He is the eye in the sky and the maker of rules, to use some lines from a song.  “I’m the eye in the sky [...]

One of the divisive points between Judaism and Christianity is Judaism is in a sense more Gnostic. Thus Rabbis did and still do write material that is treated as valid spiritual doctrine, and they question and break down their holy cannon to see the wisdom in it. Not because they don’t believe in it, not [...]

Everyone recall a time in which you were impatient.
Everyone who stands in a line getting groceries?  Especially if you went shopping while you were hungry.
Now ask yourself this, who is it that’s being impatient?
The ego in a hurry. Seems like it’s related to habit. It is all related to habit and judgment of some old [...]

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 of [...]

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 [...]

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 most [...]

We complain about the modern Christmas being commercialized, but our ancestors did a lot of fortune seeking at that time of year even before the age of super malls and trendy stores. There was also a running debate regarding praying to angels, and this is part of why angels are a related image in Christmas. They [...]
