Spirituality for Living

Imagine a life of gratitude? For what we are. For what we can do. For what we can experience. Would that be a selfish life? Why are we taught it is? Really the secret of gratitude isn’t a secret. It’s realizing a simple truth. We are connected, not chained. Supported. We are connected by genetic [...]

No one goes anywhere. There isn’t any need. It’s merely a change of state. A parallel existence if you want to use the scientific paradigm. There is no such thing as loss. Sometimes the way someone looses this form entails suffering. It can happen prematurely, and this isn’t good when it does, but there is [...]

Spirits aren’t the rare spooky encounter you hear about in haunted locales. You likely sense them on a daily basis. When you sense someone walk into a room, the sense of presence, their personal energy is a spirit. It’s just a level of being. In fact if you are inclined to visit parks or other [...]

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 [...]

For me, anything I get deeply enmeshed in seems to have a death clock start. There is a powerful creative initial surge, and then it winds down. I can feel the event playing out and losing any life. Sometimes this is healing for the person, and whatever falls apart needed to for their best interest. [...]

Synchronicity is a rule. Psychic forces actualize. An aspect of remote viewing is seeing an “object” that isn’t, and can’t be present at the site, but is a true presence at the site. Like a state of mind in the residents, or an element of the history of the site. So you might see, say, Godzilla. [...]

Why do we want to label our existence? The only truth at this moment is ‘I can’t say I am not. I AM that I am.’  To refuse labels is to label labels. Active opposition is service to the force you deride. Every moment is a new observation. In any moment a new insight can [...]

There is a Chinese concept, they call it doing non doing. We are busy doing, and we aren’t even where we are because we are so busy doing and thinking about doing. In doing non doing you just do without making yourself do stuff. You are present to the doing with no agenda. You just [...]

Emotion is not synonymous with awareness, so loneliness is an absence of recognizable feedback about the “self”, a.k.a. the ego. When a little boy or little girl are out playing in the yard, I mean a young one, maybe with a pet, or watching bugs, do they complain of being lonely?
I often don’t feel lonely [...]

Everything that’s going to happen already has, space-time? Yes, but it’s alive. So yes, blood is going to my feet, it is going to my brain too. You can own up to it all, and be whole in space time. Be all of the energy that you are, rather than just cold feet. I would [...]

Possession is a common theme for paranoid schizophrenics, but there is something real behind it and it isn’t what you see on TV or movies. We don’t exist in a world of matter and objects. We exist in systems of energy, and that idea that we are nicely self contained, is a half truth at [...]

I intend to discuss the spiritual facets of parenting. How many of you are parents? But no, it’s not necessary to be a parent to gain from this. We are all involved in parenting. We were parented in one form or another, and some of us are parenting. It’s perhaps one of the most primal [...]

Are you the real authority on you? Is anyone here the real authority on themselves, or is that discouraged? Are you busy “playing house” or rather “playing life”? Are you happy? Most parents say they want their children to grow up happy and busily deny happiness, because it isn’t responsible. I acknowledge being response able. [...]

What’s the difference between presence and present? Present is ego. Presence is self.
There are two types of instincts? No, there is one type of instinct. One whole world of instinct.
My definition of ego is an “idea of self”, a self image. To use religious speech, it’s a false idol. Most orthodox believers are the product [...]

Sex is a way of being in the now? Well, it can be yes, but it’s usually not, because people focus on external sex and seek a disconnecting catharsis.
The need for orgasm is external? The “need” is yes. The “need” is a judgment. Otherwise orgasm is a part of the flow, and would be much [...]

Sin was originally a Greek term measuring the deviation of an arrow from a target, and it didn’t originally have other meaning. Sin was simply error, but error arises from the realm of the mortal. From the realm of the external and transitory now. In the event that was your advent there was no error, [...]

Usually children or pets tend to be aware of the world differently. The young animals that have bonded with people, and the children not brainwashed by imperialistic schooling. So often, someone who has a surviving pet, or a child that was born just before the death of a family elder, will see the departed person.
I still [...]

I’m not praising group think, but even if you aren’t into group think, you are still a part of that.  You are a very important part, and the individualist is giving us something huge. So see your connections, they are your stressors and they are also your strength. Don’t “fix it”. What makes you think [...]

Is anyone familiar with ley lines or dragon lines? It’s been observed that these earth energy paths tend to preserve human imprints. There are both more residual haunting, and even more intelligent haunting, observed in these regions.
Now the Nazca planes, like the unexplained crop circles, are observed rune patterns which are the various abstract and seemingly [...]

Consciousness seems to exist both individually, and as a collective. Holographic consciousness, pattern in a pattern in a pattern, fractals, and also represented in mandalas. The field of consciousness is almost a terrain by which operant agents of consciousness move and act. So consciousness is both agent and object.  The “I am that I am”, [...]
