Spirituality for Living

There is the fear of insecurity, and to choose is to change. To choose is to admit you needed to choose. That something had to change. People fear this like it was a threat to their own lives, and to their place in the herd. Truth be told the answer is readily at hand, but [...]

Choice is both very simple (perhaps one of the most simple things in life), and honestly also one of the most aggravating, frightening, complex things we do in life. The way we are brought up to view choice and to view life in which we make our choices, tends to make choice often seem like [...]

Jainism, for being a minority faith, has had a seemingly inordinate impact on Hindu culture and Indian culture in general. Even leading to the Sikh movement with the addition of Islam to India. Part of which was the impact of what amounted to Indian paganism making it what it is now. There was a tradition [...]

When I give my talks I tend to just go with the flow of inspiration, regrettably it means I sometimes “leave no trace”, even in my own mind.
I like the format of these discussions, going with the flow. It gives all a chance to talk and is more interactive. People learn by doing, not by [...]

You know what I am resolved to? Resolution seems to be a place that the flipping coin finally rests, I find that this is an illusion. There seems to be no resolution, only there are points where the coin flips to another side. There is resolution as things do come into focus, and what comes into [...]

The negative impact of the human mind on the fabric of reality. Thought is viral. Human thought tends to be negative so it is self perpetuating. Someone gets a pessimistic attitude about their life or a business, and that has a subtle negative impact on other peoples views. They will be second guessing, and eventually [...]

The definition of astral energy is any spiritual/psychic energy. Life force. It is the raw life force. It’s the “observer force” from physics. It’s why they say in the Bible, if there were no human beings the rocks would praise God.
Is it like when people have out of body experiences? Yes, it’s like that if [...]

Why does stress affect us so physically? You feel tense and out of breath. What is triggering that? There isn’t mind and body, there is only mind. The cardiac nerve plexus is a primal brain, as is the enteric nerve plexus, and they still function as brains even if we don’t want them to.
Is it [...]

Ego has everything to do with doubt. The world doesn’t truly give you bad choices.  It gives you choices, and whether they are good or bad depends on your view. Where you are at. Doubt and ego are identical. Ego is an idea of self, inherently limiting, and doubt is the process of finding those [...]

Divination by Druids was to see the spiritual forces in the world, and it was often for healing. They didn’t see disease as a punishment from God that you should just take because you deserve it. They saw it as an imbalance. So any plague, or famine, or what not, was cause for divination, and [...]

Is the frustration invalid because it’s “bad“? Some people avoid any and all frustration like they aren’t allowed to be frustrated for some reason. I can get very frustrated, but I have no reason to resent anyone. I can’t blame them for options I don’t have, because I do have them, and I take them. [...]

The cynics accept that there were Gods. They were especially fond of Hercules actually, and from their point of view they were on a mission from Zeus.
Did they think of nature as God? Basically they did, and that we should stop wasting Gods time. That was their thought. To the point of view of a cynic, [...]
