Spirituality for Living

‘Focus determines your reality’. Your reality is more than what you see with your eyes. Can you recall a time when you really only had one thing on your mind? When you’re doing a task that you’re really absorbed in?
Have you ever been in that state where you desired companionship and didn’t perceive yourself to [...]

In spiritual pursuits there has always been an element of sexuality. But as far as the philosophies go, like many other things there have been two paths. Seemingly opposed.
One path of austerity and moralism. “Pure” pursuits of selflessness, etc. It’s the dominant path in our culture even today and even in sexual roles. Though the [...]

To overcome, some require some rather dramatic stuff. Familiar at all with any of the mystery cults? They are called cults only because some insights could only be shared when the disciple was ready. Like the elusian mysteries, notice the psychodrama? They called them morality plays later. It is very similar to shamanic dancing and [...]

Tantrism tends to be karma yoga. Liberation by exhausting the karmas, positive or negative. In the tantric view you willingly incure positive karma in sex. Delve into it. Lose yourself in it, and by doing so see it for what it is. But also, and this isn’t so public, they do embrace negative karma also. [...]

The word ‘cannibalism’ itself was actually a Spanish ethnic reference to the caribe tribesman of what we all know as the Caribbean islands. In the case of the more common examples of traditional endocannibalism, and even in the case of much exocannibalism, it was believed that a spiritual essence was contained in a particular part [...]

This may sound absurd, but everything is sex. It’s been in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. It’s in the Pantheons of the Gods. Life and death. Fire and earth. It is all sex. Sex is the cycle of creation and destruction. It is the most primal human instinct, and all others stem from it.
Energy, [...]

It’s an established fact that the mind cannot tell the difference between something vividly imagined and a literal event. They have even discovered something that totally surprised them. They call it mind sex. It has been explored in psychology rather fully, because they didn’t believe it was possible. You can without any form of mechanical [...]

This sculpture exemplifies energy transference between a “Couple”. The consuming being mutual, each consuming the other. This transference is continual regardless if it is sexual or not (erotic).

Eros is your spirit. Eros is forever your spirit. Psyche is your memory. It’s your learning, your skills and self expression, and ideally they are coupled. [...]

Obstacles cease to be obstacles and become simply a part of the terrain as we become more aware. You won’t bemoan the wall when you see the door, and often times especially in the case of sculptors they say they don’t know what they are going to shape until they do.
Is there not an aspect [...]

Envy creeps into our daily thinking, but no situation more so than intimacy. Close friendships, family, romantic relationships. Envy denies intimacy, and if you need any gauge of how much envy affects our mind, look at the divorce rate.
I think it’s worse with romantic relationships, from my personal experience. Oh, I agree. It comes from possessiveness, but [...]

Intimacy is vital, and most people have only a loose view of what it is, if they have it at all. Intimacy is the essence of relationships. You live and breath in a state of intimacy with the earth itself. You eat from an intimacy with the earth. Your body can eat of anything found [...]

Some people do enter into intimacy in their relationships, and they do change as a new relationship begins. If you are conscious you choose differently. You become conscious of your patterns by allowing your feelings fully. You can’t experience what you won’t let yourself have. If you’re busy flipping the light switch what will you see [...]

Intimacy is opening yourself up to hurt, and a lot of people make use of that. Actually, I would disagree with that. I tend to be very intimate with animals. I pay them a lot of attention. People see it as me just liking animals, and that’s a truth but not the whole truth. In [...]

Meditation is intimacy with self. That is what meditation is in essence. You are stopping and opening your awareness to “death” in the moment. Death, because you aren’t controlling anything. You are becoming aware that you are, even outside of doing and thinking.
Can anyone name the primary cause of divorce? It’s sex. Sexual issues. Lack [...]

Intimacy is a vital force in life. The willingness to embrace your newborn child. The willingness to open your home to an elder in need. There is something beyond “moral code”, and to my belief a moral code alone is insufficient to allow right action to endure.
We have the capacity for powerful and lasting emotional [...]

Is intimacy an abandonment of your own thoughts and your own will? No, it isn’t, and can’t be. There is no intimacy if you become a non presence, but in intimacy your ego is jeopardized because it leads to very real experiences of yourself and of others. Women do have an advantage on us guys, [...]

Authoritarianism. Men are brought up that they are to be the authority. They are supposedly the ones to discipline the kids. I will be totally honest. I don’t like telling anyone to do anything. We claim to be a democracy. Well, biological fact is there are more women than men. So why are the presidents [...]

Light siders have aggression too by the way.   So understand the other. Not every one who is dark is your enemy. Dark and light can be very intimate and mutually supportive.  When you are attacked by dark, including psychic vampires, recall your strength, and I don’t necessarily mean your teaching. I mean that inner light in [...]

We plan too much and never live in the moment, and what does this planning ever really merit? Has anyone found meaning in plans that I don’t know about?
But surely planning is important if we want to live? If no-one ever planted an apple tree intending for someone to eat apples in the future? That [...]
