What is Original Sin?

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!What do you think was REALLY meant by the concept of “Original Sin”? The symbolism of the Tower of Babel, and the concept of the original sin are one and the same. A separation of reason from intuition, of [...]

Meditation Practice

How often should we practice meditation? When you feel a lack of peace, return to center. When mind controls you, return to center. When you don’t know what you feel or what to do, return to center. How often are these things for you? That is how often you should look within.
Perhaps twice, morning and [...]

Mind and Hypnosis

Everyone is insane to some extent and without an awareness of that “potential” insanity then people do unconscious things. Entropy affects everything. Order can be destructive. Chaos can be constructive.
Does our subconscious control our conscious? No. The subconscious and conscious stem from a root awareness, but the subconscious is not divided against itself. More holistic, [...]

What is Meditation?

What exactly is meditation? There are many definitions. Meditation isn’t an action. That is the tricky thing. Meditation is a settling. A disengagement from action. The techniques are for stilling the mind. We seek to meditate not so much to find a new level of awareness. It isn’t a special state. It’s a primal state. [...]

Attunement with Magick

If people barely are able to control their feelings , their thoughts and their actions, how can we hope to achieve a magickal act? Your emotions are linked to external energies. When you recognize the connection then you see that you are acted upon and can act in kind. Astrology is based on observations of [...]

What is ‘Psychic’?

Psychic function is not any more mysterious or complicated than learning style. One of the biggest stumbling blocks about learning to perform psychically is the idea that it’s necessarily a special state of mind. The brain itself is a sense organ. It exists to sense the input from the senses and assemble it into “coherent” [...]

Image of God

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 [...]

Time and Tao

So eliminate the concept of future… or past? Even physics suggests that future and past are actually not evidenced in the nature of the systems we use the ideas to describe. In being timeless you are being what you are at the core, the soul.
It is hard to live without time, maybe impossible. The Persians [...]

Our Thought and Senses

What is the form of thought? Now that is interesting. Form is coherent or “encoded” memory. Energy I mean, and memory. The energy of any given object is perceptible to us. The memory and the energy of the object are not separate, but thought seems more nebulous than sense data, less clear. It’s actually not.
It’s [...]

Triggering Psychic Function

So how to trigger the psychic ability if we choose, or knowingly avoid the triggers? Your mind is a world. Has many facets like a kaleidoscope that will show you different things with a change in focus. Most people are more focused on emotion than they would admit, and so they are caught up in [...]

Sense of Place

The topic is sense of place and I don’t mean societal role. More of how where you are is a part of who you are, or rather who you see yourself to be. A lot of what you think as true of you applies also to what you think is true of where you live, [...]

Our Connection to Place

If we saw our own connection to our place, even as we move from place to place in a solidly experiential way, that might change things. Realizing that everything is you and you are everything. Part of sense of place is that realization. You can’t say self knowledge is complete without it, and the relationship [...]

Your Life

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 [...]

Plant Flowers

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. [...]

Psychic Doing: Feeling

Ok, so far other posts in this series have only discussed the principles of how psychic function is possible. We haven’t gone into the actual doing yet, and it is potentially helpful to figure out the actual doing of it.
Space and time do not exist, thus you remember a contact even when you are not experiencing [...]
