Spirituality for Living

People get lost or confused in trying to tackle the topic of Manifestation because it’s chock full of a lot of buzzwords and pop psychology. Rationalization, and no real look at the process. Is this your experience of manifesting?
Things manifest whether we consciously choose them or not. All things, events, meetings, goals, insights. They are [...]

People mistake consciousness for individuality. There is a transcendent and encompassing consciousness. Our ancestors knew of it…Spirits of place. There is also a natural drive to harmony, to supporting the group. Order and disorder balance where there is oneness with the greater consciousness. We see Gaia consciousness as really just regulating simple creatures.

We have become very lazy expecting everything to be explained and researched for us. Science claims to have avoided metaphysical speculation and this is one of the major lies of science. It isn’t malicious, but it also isn’t true. They have put forth an irresponsible view that we can ignore the why and focus only [...]

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 [...]

All things we know. I use the word “know” in contrast to the word “think“. They have their origin outside of the reel of our consciousness we recognize as rational thought. How often in all of this rational thought do we ask another “what do you want?” And they respond “I don’t know” or “how [...]

You never perceive reality directly with your senses. It isn’t how it works. And how and what you perceive is determined by your focus, often subconsciously according to conditioning. If you can see what you don’t see, then your perspective isn’t a trap, it’s an incarnation.
Many schools speak of a mental body, in one terminology [...]

The converse of the order we know isn’t necessarily chaos. Is chaos just the absence of order? Chaos is the presence of potential, yet not actualized energy. So, why do we perceive spirit to run counter of, or independently of matter?
If there is a fire, and “chaos” breaks out, people will run, however there is [...]

The origin of the theory of physical separation as an entity is an excellent topic. Quantum non locality and it’s meaning in spirituality. Thinking may not tell you exactly what it is, but thinking heavily suggests that it ‘IS’. Not understanding has nothing to do with whether it exists or not. In fact the raw [...]

The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake would seem to be gratifying, but the presence of the implicate order in any field of knowledge is readily evident. All existence is limited or else it would be present solely as a potentiality spread throughout the implicate order
Gnosis and knowledge are inextricable. Even science requires that [...]

Do you have a very difficult time doing anything without your heart being involved? Then don’t exclude your heart. It isn’t necessary. The only way it’s ‘meant’ to be done (if that word has any meaning at all) is the way it’s naturally done.
People often expect great mystical events from meditation, yet most often meditation [...]

In trying to ‘non do’ you find yourself doing, again back to the struggling. That is the essence of doing non doing. Like thought, action arises. Thought being its precursor. You can allow action to occur through you without disturbance and without anxiety. If you experience the doing instead of trying to be the doing, [...]

It has been said that each persons life has a single theme at the heart of it, and you can discover that from reflection. It is not the same for every person, but it comes from a thread that permeated their whole life, even childhood. It arises from temperament as well as other factors. It might [...]

Is someone a wise weaver of the universe fabric? Actually no. There is a heart to it all. A sort of hyperspace. The place in Buddhism called Nirvana is not oblivion. The home of the “ascended masters”. Ultimately it’s all a creative effort. A growing up and into our full potential. The angels are our [...]

Karma is a sort of tricky topic. Karma isn’t a force unto itself. It is more an aspect of other forces in life, like thought and emotion. Everything that transpires around us and in us has a karmic trait to it. A degree of impact, and it doesn’t have an effect entirely of its own [...]

Where does the first karma come from to get the whole karmic ball rolling? The first karma comes from a state of existence that permeates all others. The ground of being. It serves as a sort of infrastructure for all of creation, though it isn’t quite as empty and featureless as some authorities would describe [...]

Judgement is something I have been dealing with lately, but there are some simple facts regarding it. As much as people may want to believe otherwise, we do not respond to an objective reality. The world and our lives as we see them are simply the bi-product of judgements me make. The first and foremost being [...]

We created science with the notion that observation could reveal laws of reality. That it could be understood, and used to permit us more of what we desire. Freedom, power, health. This has proven true at least for the most part, but we hold the superstition that there are these little closed systems. Little splinter [...]

Hope manifests. In my actions if in no other way, and my actions have a meaning for any who would witness. It may not be the meaning I want, but they generate an impact. The spirit of the action gets through even if they aren’t conscious of it.
I have gone through my life like this. [...]

Pentacles in the minor arcana represent physical progress. Cups represent gathering, the first mystery of the heart. They are the suit in the minor arcana of the personal life in contrast to the physical or mental, and then wands which are often shown as torches. Wands symbolize the inner fire, inspiration and spirit, and its [...]

The tarot cards come up and are read not only for their symbolism, but for their place in the spread. Are you familiar with Egyptian cartouches or Sumerian murals? Well, the sequence of the symbols mattered as much as the symbols, and each spread has its own meaning beyond the cards. So a three card [...]
