Spirituality for Living

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Now here is something interesting. Some people might think of this total awareness and ask what about direction? What about purpose? Lots of people stumble over things like the law of attraction because in the popular material something is [...]

Balance, the middle way, we hope to list toward it. At times it seems that we do not, often because we fear we are wrong. Like fumbling for a needed object in the dark, we go too far one way or too far another and we think it’s all very hard. We really make it [...]

We do have a duty and the motive is love. Interestingly, love is not a passion, it transcends those dynamics. It is a principle that cannot be confined to the inner vortex of passions.
‘Duty‘. If you understand the word, ‘dharma’ is closer. It is a way, not a single force, but the encompassing rule of [...]

Gnosis is the concept “as within so without”. Also connected with the concept “as above so below“. That knowledge of self, is knowledge of the principle that originated you.
It is connected to astrology. Astrology could be considered a Gnostic tool. Hermetic philosophy is primarily Gnostic in its premises and the principle even emerges in quantum [...]

Using the energies is sort of like being in a gently flowing river. Most people are blown about by the winds or washed away with the waters, but you can see that the winds and the waters, the elements and the spirits, are not separate from you. Often when the energies seem to rebel, when [...]

Action stems from passion. You may passionately believe I am mistaken, and feel powerfully moved to tell me so. The world moves and we move in it. There is a reason they say ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
I am not advocating a stance that in any way obfuscates personal [...]

Suppression for the common good. Abstinence makes the heart grow colder. Makes it grow downright dead. I often speak of how I feel alone, and people usually just dismiss it as more drama, as my anxiety. No, it’s just my experience. I can see this pattern of communication and reaction.  The initial action even comes [...]

There is no them, and since there is no them why not get a better image of us? Why even think over long on the idea of there being no them? There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think there are two kinds of people, and those who don’t. There is a [...]

Here is an example of negative self judgement: A man feels that there must be something wrong with any woman who wants to be with him, and feeling this way has him sabotaging his relationships.
