Spirituality for Living

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!What is the difference between resistance and principles? Principles manifest as essences, and they don’t block you. They empower you. To say I believe that love is the highest ideal. What does love as the highest ideal prevent you [...]

Gnosis has many sources. It is one of those phenomenon like the preponderance of certain symbols that co-arose cross culturally. Like the presence of dragons in every world mythology.
The intuition that “god” is somehow indwelling the human soul has been expressed in many ways across all world cultures. The “gods” can be real even if [...]

Is illusion without value? Or is all value illusion? And ultimately does this question even matter? Maybe it’s a huge illusion? What matters is you and how you see an illusion. You create the questions on what is illusion and what isn’t. This goes into a personal, individual level and brings you back out again. [...]

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 [...]

Inner deaths. Those little changes that represent a growth period, but do end a facet of your existence. When it feels like an iron door has slammed shut, but was it really “abandon all hope ye who enter here”? For me it was more of an entering into the world, and in a way more [...]

We contact spirits in the same way we sense our loved ones at a distance. A divinatory method isn’t absolutely necessary. In fact you are likely more in contact than you may have realized you are. The contained system we think our bodies and minds to be really isn’t. Just because we incarnated doesn’t mean [...]

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 [...]

The converse of the order we know isn’t necessarily chaos. Is chaos just the absence of order? Chaos is the presence of potential, yet not actualized energy. So, why do we perceive spirit to run counter of, or independently of matter?
If there is a fire, and “chaos” breaks out, people will run, however there is [...]

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 [...]

Karma is a sort of tricky topic. Karma isn’t a force unto itself. It is more an aspect of other forces in life, like thought and emotion. Everything that transpires around us and in us has a karmic trait to it. A degree of impact, and it doesn’t have an effect entirely of its own [...]

Where does the first karma come from to get the whole karmic ball rolling? The first karma comes from a state of existence that permeates all others. The ground of being. It serves as a sort of infrastructure for all of creation, though it isn’t quite as empty and featureless as some authorities would describe [...]

The topic is an issue that comes up a lot, but is rarely given any formal answer for. Roughly, I will address the place of humanity in the universe.
It can be argued that in order for man to arise (male and female), the universe itself had to satisfy rather unusual parameters. With all the factors [...]

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 [...]

Halloween is very much ingrained in our collective unconscious, and has a very long history. It was basically the Celtic New Year. Like the Norse legend of the world being born of ice, they see winter as the first season not the last (or rather they did). Halloween is more like the traditional thanksgiving. This [...]

Time and space are not constants. It is more a Swiss cheese than a solid supportive object, and there have been many examples of it. For me it’s a pretty frequent event, and I suspect that many people experience it but it gets lost in the mental shuffle. Premonitions, a.k.a. pre-cognition, knowing in advance. We [...]
