Spirituality for Living

We network naturally. It isn’t something just corporate executives and politicians do. We often don’t even realize we are. We form pictures of people in our head. Is natural and not necessarily wrong, though it can be a stumbling block more than a stepping stone. You can choose to see the construct of the person [...]

Psychic function is not any more mysterious or complicated than learning style. One of the biggest stumbling blocks about learning to perform psychically is the idea that it’s necessarily a special state of mind. The brain itself is a sense organ. It exists to sense the input from the senses and assemble it into “coherent” [...]

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 [...]

There are more paths than this. You may find in your practice that this reflective work is not clicking. There are common elements of the mind but there are notable deviations also. Mine is one such. The Greeks used to seek out those who suffered from the condition I had as a juvenile to serve [...]

The subject of dream and astral travel is a bit complex, so forgive me if I have to cover a lot of theory. The subject is also a little broad. In fact, I will start with a little neural science. It applies both to near death (nde) phenomenon and hypnogogic states. Your brain actually processes [...]

Some think that spirituality and materialism are exclusive of each other, but if you embrace that you are spiritual then where does your existence arise from? What reason do we have to believe that the physical existence is somehow separate from its physical counterpart? In looking at life (the very physical life that we see around us [...]

Do you think they have special labs with deep thinkers on hallucinogenics? No, Leary was not very well funded, and Project Stargate is supposedly closed. Those dabbling in consciousness enhancement seem to have fallen flat on their faces. Rather than revile altered consciousness maybe they should look into it more.
They are making breakthroughs with consciousness [...]

The minds (or chakras) do correspond to stages of both biological and psychic development. The root chakra is the first center to be visible in a growing body. It is the tail. From our roots we have the simple animal drives and rapidly on its heals develops the enteric nervous system also knows as the [...]

I know I may seem like the stereotypical sex obsessed male, but when you give your body place, and sex is the most powerful force to encourage that (that or strife), then your consciousness changes. Your engagement with all of life changes. I’m using it not from obsession, but from its actual primacy in consciousness, [...]

Can we say that ‘mind’ is just another word for ‘brain‘? I would debate that myself. I would say mind would be more akin to the morphogenetic field, and the body including the brain more of a mechanism and memory storage device. This is perhaps why the mind-body connection seems so mysterious. If you must [...]

Do people get over tragedies or do they just move on? The idea you forgive and forget is a lie, and an injurious one. You can forgive and let go, but the delusion that you can forget makes people feel bad about themselves.
Faith can be a strength, but understanding is still necessary, and organized faith [...]

The truth of physicality is the common sense of our culture, yet everyone ignores it as they busily manifest their spiritual wounds. Excess leading to the palace of wisdom, but that’s if you can get back. For many, wisdom is the compensation for life as f#*&ed up.
You can say it’s this way for me for [...]

Some say the physical is dual, so we have to rise above the duality and become more spiritual. So the physical is profane? I find that people tend to trip over the idea of transcending the physical. It is confusing and a bit upsetting. Is this necessary? It seems to me that the spirit is already [...]

In the spiritual realm, the center of the persons spirit creates a zone around them. I call this the logos. In the Bible they say in the beginning was the word, and the word was God and was with God. I paraphrase, but in the beginning God spoke and it came to pass. It came [...]

Remote viewing is so simple it’s complicated, as many things are. It’s based on research and insights that state that even though your body is localized, mind as an energy and a construct of any sort is omni-present.
The first real acknowledged researcher was J.B. Rhine, but of all the para-psychological research being done, America took [...]

How psychic readings can be done is that some seem to visualize their thoughts as parts of their brain. This isn’t actually so, but the thoughts are energy patterns in a collective field that we are all present in. They have even discovered that dogs can be trained to sense the neural spiking in seizure [...]

Synchronicity is a rule. Psychic forces actualize. An aspect of remote viewing is seeing an “object” that isn’t, and can’t be present at the site, but is a true presence at the site. Like a state of mind in the residents, or an element of the history of the site. So you might see, say, Godzilla. [...]

I was reading Travis’ article on psychic viewing, and it struck me as accurate. There comes a point though when language fails in its tasks to translate thoughts.  Not that I am suggesting developing telepathic skills, but simply stating the fact that it is hard to communicate with words many times. I will try to [...]

It has been established that the brain hormones respond to neural or sensory stimuli. They are not separate from mind state. It has also been proven that the brain cannot tell the difference between the real and the vividly imagined. Your imagination moves your feelings. You imagine a fear, and you do react to it. [...]

The word ‘cannibalism’ itself was actually a Spanish ethnic reference to the caribe tribesman of what we all know as the Caribbean islands. In the case of the more common examples of traditional endocannibalism, and even in the case of much exocannibalism, it was believed that a spiritual essence was contained in a particular part [...]
