Spirituality for Living

People get lost or confused in trying to tackle the topic of Manifestation because it’s chock full of a lot of buzzwords and pop psychology. Rationalization, and no real look at the process. Is this your experience of manifesting?
Things manifest whether we consciously choose them or not. All things, events, meetings, goals, insights. They are [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The subject is passion including the much reviled “passions”. They usually speak of them in right hand and left hand paths. One school of thought is that they are only stumbling blocks preventing peace. The teachings of the right hand path are very popular, and you can get material written on it at any book store [...]

There is an interesting phenomenon happening soon that has never really happened before. Many prophetic cycles have resolved recently or will be resolving soon, like the Mayan calendar and the 2012 date. Myself I don’t canonize any cycle, but I think intuitively we can observe that many things are coming clear at this point and [...]

Everyone is insane to some extent and without an awareness of that “potential” insanity then people do unconscious things. Entropy affects everything. Order can be destructive. Chaos can be constructive.
Does our subconscious control our conscious? No. The subconscious and conscious stem from a root awareness, but the subconscious is not divided against itself. More holistic, [...]

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 [...]

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” [...]

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 [...]

Science has now proved it to be a fact that distance doesn’t seem to matter for ‘like affects like‘. Yet some people hesitate to link quantum mechanics with spirituality. They are both difficult subjects. Quantum entanglement. All science was at one time linked with spirituality. The idea that we could look at the world as [...]

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 [...]

My own spiritual path is based not on abstaining from passion, but on embracing it. When you truly embrace it and let it consume you, you learn something surprising. This you it consumed is not “you”. Not the all encompassing thing. Some have described me as having strong self control. I don’t actually. I don’t [...]

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 [...]

There is a principle of affinity. To see another level you do have to achieve a resonance with it. There does seem to be a bit of glorification of this and I think the reason would be that some levels do feel uplifting. They can create a sense of euphoria as the fairies dance did [...]

When you sleep some people think of it as a low energy state, but in fact it’s a high energy state. And the body behaves as it does because it doesn’t exactly have a tolerance for such intense energy. As you slumber your memory of the day does play out, as that is one of [...]

The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake would seem to be gratifying, but the presence of the implicate order in any field of knowledge is readily evident. All existence is limited or else it would be present solely as a potentiality spread throughout the implicate order
Gnosis and knowledge are inextricable. Even science requires that [...]
