Spirituality for Living

So what do the psychic realms of function mean personally? We all come to a metaphysical or spiritual practice with our essence as it always was, even if we don’t understand our own nature well and often times we engage the first path we come across. Like the very “spiritual” and popular mysticism, and if [...]

Egyptian religion was both intuitive and rationalistic.  Since its focus was so pragmatic the Greeks and Romans actually saw no reason to compromise it, and translated some of their concepts into Greek or Roman terms. Thus the cult of Osiris gave birth to the elusian mysteries, and other imagery became very wide spread. There was [...]

The material uses of things in magic (or whatever you prefer to call your practice) stem from one type of insight, that the world is interconnected. Hermetic philosophy refers to these connections as correspondences, and they have been viewed in literally every mystical practice across the world.  This raises the question of what is power, [...]

We have questioning minds because we have roving eyes. Does each lead or follow at different times? Does mind exist only in the wads of meat in our skulls?  I would argue the mind doesn’t follow the eye and this can be backed up in science. The eye follows the mind.

There are three personality types over the two genders:

phalic
hysteric
schizoid

None are mental health issues and it could be said that:

phalic = rage
hysteric = feeling
schizoid = cerebral

Do you feel non identification with gender impulses? You may be genuinely and naturally schizoid. It doesn’t mean the other factors don’t matter. They do, and it is more like handedness.
But [...]

Remote viewing is so simple it’s complicated, as many things are. It’s based on research and insights that state that even though your body is localized, mind as an energy and a construct of any sort is omni-present.
The first real acknowledged researcher was J.B. Rhine, but of all the para-psychological research being done, America took [...]

I won’t be talking about angels in a traditional sense, but more as a universal phenomenon. In every culture there have been perceived to be governing spirits if not absolute sovereigns of the world. Guiding intelligences that seem to preside over every aspect of the universe, and I do mean universe. In later Greek reckoning [...]

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 [...]

It has been established that the brain hormones respond to neural or sensory stimuli. They are not separate from mind state. It has also been proven that the brain cannot tell the difference between the real and the vividly imagined. Your imagination moves your feelings. You imagine a fear, and you do react to it. [...]

The Christ Consciousness movement is a technically heretical view of Christian dogma. It’s sort of neo-Gnosticism. It focuses on the Christ and the Holy Spirit rather than the person of Jesus the Christ as a phenomenon, and had a Greek emphasis. The word literally means christening or christened one. In a sense, it’s like the [...]

The little ritual, or psychodrama if you will, might seem to have no power or meaning.  But as often people have experienced, if you dream about something aggravating at night your next day may be very much affected. Much of dream and ritual are connected. Some tools are actually focuses to allow dream like imagery [...]

The Kabbalah is Jewish esotericism. It’s a bit more widely known than people realize, and some of its arguments are arrived at and used by people who aren’t Kabbalists. The basic concept is that Gods essence is incomprehensible to us, and though Christians criticise this mysticism they still use that idea. The universe exists as [...]

Judaism doesn’t have any concept of hell, but the emanations in some schools of Kabbalism have a shadow aspect. The tree of life and its shadow. It’s called the tree of life because it is seen as an outgrowth of the infinite God, and the emanations arose in stages. It’s shadow element isn’t much talked [...]

We are all lovers by nature, but allow circumstances to taint our ability to give. We think of self as unworthy, but there is no unity outside of that. The false self is the self we are taught, as opposed to what we are without being shown a role. What we are at our inner [...]

The law of sympathy is that like affects like. If my talent just makes me sympathetic to something that isn’t my central nature, it would be weakening more than strengthening.
Wouldn’t it be odd for a talent to draw in something not central? Actually no. Often times, sort of like the implied motion in the yin [...]

I see Carl Jung as having been an excellent scientist, a definite peer to Einstein. Though their focuses were different, their understanding of the minds role in the world was the same. Basically, they were modern wizards, and they weren’t motivated by proving their faith in the materialistic world. They didn’t even have the motivation [...]

Remote viewing is time travel. They even in modern research discovered the atemporal aspect of remote viewing, and they also discovered something else. Nuclear reaction blocks it. The destruction of matters order seems to do the same to mind, as mind is a state of matter.
Like an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP)? Well, EMPs don’t fully destroy, [...]

The Chinese New Years celebration, their own version of the day of the dead ritual, has its origin in Bon. The new year for Bon is the same as the Chinese New Year, and their lunar calendar arose from it.
The people of the lowlands were more fractured, while the tribes of the Tibetan mountain range [...]

I would like to start by asking you a couple of questions.  Have you ever met someone you truly and powerfully admired? If you did, did you feel a sense of kinship with them?
Yes and no. Ah, thank you for your honesty. In what way no?
Though I could relate to their ideas, I felt inferior [...]

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 [...]
