If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!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.

Magic, shamanism is where we started. No worries about who was in charge. We didn’t have time. Our initial instincts were good but then as we got organized, formed nations, the spirit had to have a boss and that served socially. Allowed for great strides in cooperation but we did go to extremes. So we [...]

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 [...]

We contact spirits in the same way we sense our loved ones at a distance. A divinatory method isn’t absolutely necessary. In fact you are likely more in contact than you may have realized you are. The contained system we think our bodies and minds to be really isn’t. Just because we incarnated doesn’t mean [...]

There is a subjective truth, and it is true, and there are more universal truths. There is no absolute departure from the truth, even psychology says this. It is why their therapies have any chance of working, and also why psychological disturbance can endure for so long. The disturbed soul isn’t entirely wrong. Jung said [...]

Alchemy uses a series of beliefs that I myself practice. Both intuitive and literal observations of matter and the natural world, but it is more focused on artifice. It even had a doctrine that doesn’t really defy common sense; That nature doesn’t create finished products. This is why alchemy had an almost moral agenda to [...]

Alchemy can be applied widely, and it’s more a way of thinking or philosophy rather then ’stir a pot and out comes gold’ as it’s usually portrayed. The association with making gold was narrow even in the heyday of alchemy. However, some say philosophy is just a subjective stance and has no substance in the [...]

Projection and how it impacts our lives. It isn’t as simple as pop psychology would have people see it, and it gets flung around too casually. It winds up being like the pot calling the kettle black, and few heed the old aphorism; Remove the timber in your own eye before trying to remove the [...]

Projection is quite natural, and by projection I mean projection of your state of mind. Ever notice when you are actively engaging someone in conversation you tend to imitate their body language without thinking about it? In the case of a community some of those states are viral. You can tell when someone is “not [...]

The shadow consciousness theory of psychology is the notion of suppression of our selves by our judgement. When we see other people doing what we have stopped ourselves from doing, it traumatizes the shadow consciousness. Our judgement traumatizes it reflexively. Being moral entrepreneurs it brings doubts to our certainties or enforces our bitterness and jealousy [...]

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 [...]
