Spirituality for Living

There is a way of death. There is a way of being out of harmony with death. In this ‘now’ man has forgotten this way. Fear of death is not the way of death. In my own spirituality the way of death is a cornerstone. Only new cycles. The left hand path of the cycle [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

You choose the pain because you choose the role. Pain is better then numb, if it hurts it can stop. If it’s doing nothing …
The great way, or ‘will of god’ to use metaphor, is not a nebulous void. It’s dynamic actualization. The will of god is not separate from your will. The great way [...]

Here are a few questions that I have received in some of my talks. Maybe you’ve wondered as well. 
If our ancestors and family who have passed over are supposed to be watching over us, what exactly are they doing?  They engage in spiritual affairs and are concerned with your spiritual state. But they can’t control [...]

What about those that can’t speak nor hear? They will speak in body language. The mudra is as powerful as the mantra. They are both language, and the more fully you express, the more powerful the expression. Helen Keller could not see or hear.  She understood and could express herself, and did quite eloquently.
Your focus [...]

Soul mates are true, but overlooked by many. Your soul mate isn’t your other half necessarily, but there is a spiritual force that pairs people. And even if they are your other half we fight with ourselves, so why wouldn’t our soul mate fight with us? People describe their relationships as hell and heaven at [...]

What matters is what you did and what you learned, not what you had. Now what you have can influence what you are able to do, so that seems a good guideline for getting. So matter matters to the degree it is energy. If you go rescue a friend or loved one from being stranded [...]

What it would be like if I could do anything? The wizard is eventually revealed as a silly little man behind a curtain. He still had the power, and magic is everywhere. Martin Luther King was really just upset that people were being creepy to each other, and yet he made a big change in [...]

I live in America. A stronghold of religious weirdness, and quite feral about it. I hear India has cows, poor people who break and deform their own bodies to get daily bread. We do it here also, just not for faith and with more refined methods. We should be proud of ourselves. Advanced self destruction. [...]

Life seems naturally contiguous. Thought and mood and action and reaction, there is no break in that cycle that I can see. Like we are all dancing to the same mad piper in the middle of a fairy ring made of the dust of individuality and self respect. This song is picked up without much [...]

Our ideas aren’t necessary for events to happen, but they do influence. For all functional purposes our ideas govern our lives. When you see an event “in advance” there isn’t any time, you just see the event. Like quantum mechanics action at a distance. The event is the event whether it has “happened” or not, [...]

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 [...]

I feel like I never learn from unwise choices, and they keep repeating. What am I doing wrong? When a choice repeats it isn’t from a failing on your part. You merely misunderstand the nature of the choice. You may perceive it as what it presents itself to you as, but there can be an internal side [...]

Resentment is an effort to address what has passed, and you cannot influence. It keeps you very much trapped in ego, and keeps you from maintaining much of what you value and want to keep in life, let alone new things.
Resentment is an effort to undo something in your past. Something you can’t undo. Even [...]

Hi Friends,
We have some banners available for our ‘Spirituality for Living’ site that you can use on your own web page.  Have a look and we hope you enjoy them. 

“The way is not just in this world. It’s in every world, but its iterations make it seem mysterious. Even unrecognizable if you go [...]

To date, even in modern parapsychology, much of the old understanding of angelic powers is gone. There are still reported encounters or sightings of unknown beings that behave much like the “angels” of old. Though without any seeming divine agenda nor a malicious one. The Mothman might be the most readily apparent and the dialogue [...]

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 [...]

How is not being lonely due to a correct identity superior to a conditioned sense of existing where one does not question and find they are alone? Is a suspicion of false identity necessarily present?
Ok, let’s get reductionistic. The brain has been shown to engage in a process of reality checking without you choosing. It [...]

Is there ever a time not to trust? When you have to ask if you should trust, then distrust the distrust.
In my area there is terrible violence with gangs. I don’t want to be paranoid. Trust they will act on what they say.  Distrust doesn’t serve. Really distrust is the force that keeps us stuck [...]
