Spirituality for Living

This society was based on the “muscle” part of society, not the sensitive ones. But we aren’t at the whim of nature any more, so natural tendencies tend to get warped. What made perfect sense to nature becomes a drawback in “technological” society. Standards of behaviour are based on assumptions that preclude what comes naturally [...]

I have experienced a spiritual state. A variety of issues sort of gave me no choice. I used to suffer seizures, irregular theta waves. Those are what make you “unconscious” or at rest, but it wasn’t the sleep cycle. I wasn’t asleep, I was sort of scared. Not even aware of my body. Experienced a shift in [...]

Observation is really a keystone of spirituality as well as science. The capability we call observation runs deeper than the sense. As a matter of fact, there are whole scientific and military disciplines focused on “training” observation even though our senses work. The eastern teachings pointed out that senses are distracting and meditation is in [...]

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 [...]

The future is an assumption of linear advancement. It is a global advancement. Future is modeled thinking. Time flows in waves as does space.
“Global” is in the geometric sense. Consider a wave pattern, the preponderance of circles. The diagram of the golden mean and how it manifests, but you leave a legacy. The energy is [...]

What can be said about paradox? Literally everything, that is the essence of paradox. It is why seeking one truth, proclaiming there to be only one right path…well, it just never really works. There have been atheists who are more altruistic than the more religious types. Very materialist types that espouse a spiritual paradigm for [...]

With any facet of life, in the light of awareness there is a mirror image. For every truth, an equal and opposite truth. We often revile the negative as destructive. We say that is the opposite of what we want, when in fact it’s a mirror image of the thing desired. This is why attachment [...]

What do you think was REALLY meant by the concept of “Original Sin”? The symbolism of the Tower of Babel, and the concept of the original sin are one and the same. A separation of reason from intuition, of language from the collective. The perception of the mind and soul as fictional or as entirely [...]

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. [...]

Here is a way to trigger/test your intuition. Consider your body. Just feel it, don’t think. Just be in your body. What is the first thing you know? No thinking. Just feel it and what do you know about your body?
Barbie is inert plastic made to a silly image. Scary fiction. There is no life. [...]

That sense of dissonance, of being out of place, is important now more than ever. Can serve as a motivator for change. This system we now have, how is it ok? Why should it be allowed to exist without disturbance? Maybe those of us who are out of synch, owe it to the people in [...]

What is the form of thought? Now that is interesting. Form is coherent or “encoded” memory. Energy I mean, and memory. The energy of any given object is perceptible to us. The memory and the energy of the object are not separate, but thought seems more nebulous than sense data, less clear. It’s actually not.
It’s [...]

So how to trigger the psychic ability if we choose, or knowingly avoid the triggers? Your mind is a world. Has many facets like a kaleidoscope that will show you different things with a change in focus. Most people are more focused on emotion than they would admit, and so they are caught up in [...]

Meditation is not something you can achieve. When you sit and allow yourself to be where you are, and maybe not do anything in that moment even if your mind is spinning. Just realizing that your mind is spinning. That is meditation. You did meditate. The experience of being where you are, and how you [...]

We remember dreams with the ‘primary’ psychic method. So this is a way to know what is primary for you. It is often why we complain we can’t remember dreams. We have heard dreams described as vivid images, so it makes everyone think that is what they should be able to recall or relate, and [...]

Ok, so far other posts in this series have only discussed the principles of how psychic function is possible. We haven’t gone into the actual doing yet, and it is potentially helpful to figure out the actual doing of it.
Space and time do not exist, thus you remember a contact even when you are not experiencing [...]

You can also try a vision exercise. What we will look at is self directed vision. If you have a stronger sense, it makes sense to use it and use vision to supplement it if you need more clarity. So with vision…the same exercise as feeling, only different focus.
Exercise:

Focus on seeing. Recall a place or [...]

You may be cautious about your mind ‘making up’ a story. If so, don’t believe these words and don’t believe your thinking right now. It is the same process. Don’t believe what your body is telling you. We all take cognizance in exactly the same way, it is all the mind making up a story.
Daydreaming [...]
