Spirituality for Living

Why is science now a religion? And why is psychology the “rational” definition of soul? In many peoples minds, if I say “I believe I am the image of god”, people will call me crazy. But if I accept the psychological terms and describe myself that way, then that is ok. The erroneous notion of [...]

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 [...]

Mortification of the flesh to what purpose, disidentification? Yes indeed.  When people still undertook it with the proper intent, but it has no merit if it’s merely a self destructive act.
Are there not other ways less destructive to disidentify? Yes, and ’destructiveness’ is a key concept. It is not the key concept of self mortification. [...]

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 [...]

There is no them, and since there is no them why not get a better image of us? Why even think over long on the idea of there being no them? There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think there are two kinds of people, and those who don’t. There is a [...]

Image magic is another one of those so simple it’s complicated topics. The basic premise behind image magic is that any image cannot be imagined or created without a connection to the object, place, or person being involved. That all we see stems from the same source as our ability to create images. Image magic [...]

Images serve as a mirror. Image magic works by what is called in hermetic philosophy, the law of sympathy. Like affects like. When you see something in the world that is in you, you actualize what is in you in the world. The law of attraction is also in it. Images in the mind attract [...]

Truth cannot be proven or disproven. It is simply a truth. All truths are real and not real at the same time. Third point of the hermitic triangle, and magical symbols are in essence very simplified image magic. You have the hypothesis, your paradigm or world view, and you have the antithesis which is actually [...]

Have you ever noticed that you can be acquainted with different people at times and think; ‘Wow this is the nicest person?’ They are always smiling and doing good things like they are living in a Brady Bunch world.  But then all the sudden they see opportunity, or you do something they don’t like and [...]

We don’t all seem to link to the same psychokinetic systems. Some are very focused on the body. This is pretty common, especially with women, and more narrowly mothers. Some are more connected to elemental forces. Something in their personal make up makes them connect with minerals, metal, and they often perform in metal shaping [...]

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 [...]

What does it mean to be a guardian of an innocent? A guide to a newly born mind? In this day and age it seems many people just follow the “expected” life.  Get a job, get married, have kids, and their role as parent seems to be more the acting out of an idea. Just [...]

There was a goddess named Hathor, the hippo who governed the Nile.  You were considered to need to cross the Nile so they invoked the aid of the Bison Goddess by imitating her act of creation. The shaping of human bodies from clay. Except in this case the clay was linked to the spirits of the [...]

What’s the difference between presence and present? Present is ego. Presence is self.
There are two types of instincts? No, there is one type of instinct. One whole world of instinct.
My definition of ego is an “idea of self”, a self image. To use religious speech, it’s a false idol. Most orthodox believers are the product [...]

Usually children or pets tend to be aware of the world differently. The young animals that have bonded with people, and the children not brainwashed by imperialistic schooling. So often, someone who has a surviving pet, or a child that was born just before the death of a family elder, will see the departed person.
I still [...]

Let’s discuss problem psychic vampires. When unaware they tend to be angry people, and you can feel it because they don’t just drain you, they negate you. Even if they aren’t being mean to you, it is just very hard to be present with them, though not all unpleasant people are psychic vampires. A psychic [...]

Can inner demons be channelled a good way? Yes. In eastern beliefs, the Oni, a.k.a. demons, were crude, sort of dim witted, and very violent. But they existed to enact the justice of heaven. They were moved when heaven recognized a wrong, and they were the active agents of correction. Now keep in mind they aren’t [...]

A lot of people look at darkness as a negative. I’m not one who does. Nor am I. This is why we have the discussion group on spiritual darkness in Second Life. It’s to learn from this side of the truth also.
When others refer to driving back the darkness, I know they mean the unwanted [...]

Everyone recall a time in which you were impatient.
Everyone who stands in a line getting groceries?  Especially if you went shopping while you were hungry.
Now ask yourself this, who is it that’s being impatient?
The ego in a hurry. Seems like it’s related to habit. It is all related to habit and judgment of some old [...]
