Spirituality for Living

Bear with me please. There is a reason I will be saying things this way. The way of the trickster is to lie, cheat, and steal. The trickster is a delusional lunatic who gets everyone’s attention, and makes them all feel uncomfortable. The trickster knows nothing at all, and lies about everything, and has no [...]

The shamanic traditions dealt with the trickster. The Australian aborigines, as well as really all myths, speak of a “time” or phase before anything had a real form. That scary falling place you sometimes get into before you really sleep. That fear you might really go to hell because of your desires, and yet the [...]

How do we use the power of the trickster? The power of the trickster is to some degree behind all occult practices. To do a great work you must be prepared to put aside your belief in “the truth”. To create anything truly new, you have to reject other ideas. Invention comes from seeing a [...]

Just learning to be ok with change can challenge some of us. This is true, it can be a challenge. But there is an old Arabic curse, “May your every wish be immediately fulfilled”.
In all of your struggling to resist change, what if you said nothing can change? You just don’t like change, so from [...]

I thought rights were just the stuff of fairy tails,
Meant for war torn souls but not for me,
I was such a cynic,
That’s the way it seems,
Violations haunted all my dreams
But the human race,
Can be a believer,
It has a place,
I’ve no doubt in my mind,
But it must love
It can be a believer,
But it can be a [...]

A bucket list is a good way to gauge how on purpose your life is, or it can be. With the wrong attitude it could do harm.
I don’t really have a list. I figure the stuff that matters will happen anyway. If you saw the movie they didn’t actually do everything on the list. It [...]

To see the world this poem implies,
May I as you to close your eyes?
Now, imagine, as you are able,
A rather large dinner table.
And sitting at it is everyone you know,
And everyone you used to know.
Yes, it’s a very implausibly large table,
But this is a mind fable…
Everyone you know,
And everyone you used to know.
Now, it’s true,
There [...]

As human beings, we are subject to a number of emotions and feelings. It is the sixth sense that we are blessed with that enables us to feel much more than animals and other life forms, and it is this sense that teaches us the difference between right and wrong. While most of us stick [...]

I wish I could stop and reflect more often. What stops you? Not sure, partly personality. I ask a lot of questions. Questions can be patterned in a concerning way. Questions are always coherent with patterns of thinking, either perhaps corresponding to therapeutic method, or religious prejudice, or emotive bias/temperament. Sometimes they don’t maintain coherence.

Respect is an emotionally charged topic, and who hasn’t experienced some negativity in the name of “respect”? If it’s an inherent good as we conventionally know it, then why would we experience any negativity at all?
I had a conversation with my Dad once as a [...]

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 [...]

These people you dislike, they aren’t your enemies. They have given you the gift of seeing your own definitions. You can accept that special gift from them, and then not hurt yourself over anything else about them.
There is attachment, aversions and indifference to everyone we meet. It’s the indifference with which I am focusing on. [...]
