Spirituality for Living

This society was based on the “muscle” part of society, not the sensitive ones. But we aren’t at the whim of nature any more, so natural tendencies tend to get warped. What made perfect sense to nature becomes a drawback in “technological” society. Standards of behaviour are based on assumptions that preclude what comes naturally [...]

Magic or Shamanism is where we started.  There were no worries about who was in charge as we didn’t have time.  Our initial instincts were good, but then as we got organized and formed nations, the spirit had to have a boss and that served socially.  It allowed for great strides in cooperation, but we [...]

There is a force in the world, that makes the frog stay in their ponds and guides the birds in their flights. Makes all things seek their place. It is not outside of you, but has a connection to things outside. In magick it’s the law of affinity. The animals themselves need not normally seek [...]

I am considered autistic and in the case of an autistic in general, they experience the world in the opposite direction. No screening. So they relate to you as the idea in their head. They can potentially grow and reflect you more clearly and they can be reached. And I promise you they do know [...]

The subject is the impact of perspective on spiritual life. Some see it as merely a tendency for distortion. They think we don’t see clearly because of our ego putting an overlay on spiritual experience. I would say individual experience is the life blood of the spiritual path. They say we all have a message we [...]

A new collection of posts will discuss different realms of psychic function and how they affect personal paths. In the Hindu faith they recognize multiple paths of devotion and treat them all as legitimate. Recognizing that no one path is superior to another, and that they all contribute to a whole greater truth. In metaphysical [...]

Karma isn’t about what you do to one person. It is about the entire weight of your choices. Do you generally foster well being? This doesn’t promise you will never suffer. But tell me, do any of you know anyone who genuinely fosters the well being of others who seems to never be able to [...]

We live in one world. This world as we make it isn’t false. The flesh and blood world is out of flesh and blood, but we didn’t make those. We didn’t make the world. We didn’t even make our real nature. But it’s funny that it takes virtual reality to show us what’s real, and to [...]

Image magic is another one of those so simple it’s complicated topics. The basic premise behind image magic is that any image cannot be imagined or created without a connection to the object, place, or person being involved. That all we see stems from the same source as our ability to create images. Image magic [...]

Images serve as a mirror. Image magic works by what is called in hermetic philosophy, the law of sympathy. Like affects like. When you see something in the world that is in you, you actualize what is in you in the world. The law of attraction is also in it. Images in the mind attract [...]

With regular meditation practice, insight just comes. It isn’t from thinking, but it is hard to ‘understand’ with the thinking mind that insight can come from elsewhere. You’re using the ‘thinking’ to understand ‘not thinking‘, and this is why the spiritual practices advocate meditation to get out of the thinking to understand ‘not thinking’. There [...]

Someone earlier today asked if there were ley lines in the Second Life (SL) virtual world. I would say there are, and the rhythms are keying into our communication. The energy breathing substance into what seems very different than the old French cave paintings or Native American petroglyphs, and yet is it really different?
Is an [...]

When you loose your intention, just act and be? Yes, yet true intention is poorly understood. In fact, you can’t loose true intention. What are you paying attention to? That’s your intention. You probably worry about what you should be paying attention to, and likely don’t pay full attention to anything.  Is that fair to [...]

Documentation on how sacred places were located is scattered. They used pendulums or dowsing rods and many of the legendary water spirits were believed to dwell at places that were basically sacred sites, and not every sacred site welcomed everyone.  Some only the village Shaman entered because of what they did with their energy. For [...]

People have a chance in virtual worlds like Second Life (SL) to be who they are inside. It troubles me when people say they don’t mix Second Life with their real life as it’s about being open to what SL has to offer. People tend to fall asleep in the fairy ring, then discover when [...]

Many people complain of being addicted to the online virtual world of Second Life (SL). There is a simple reason. You don’t come here and have a second life, you come here and say “Oh wow, what’s here, what’s this and what can I do now?”.
And watch bugs?   Yes, you might watch bugs here. You [...]

It’s an established fact that the mind cannot tell the difference between something vividly imagined and a literal event. They have even discovered something that totally surprised them. They call it mind sex. It has been explored in psychology rather fully, because they didn’t believe it was possible. You can without any form of mechanical [...]

The world is not over yet, but it is coming to an end? The world ends right now. Right now I see things differently, even now, just ended again, changed my mind, there my world ended again. Are you looking now? Whole new world. Each persons mind is a world, we either explore it or hide [...]

Astral logistics is basically manifestation, but bigger. Logistics is the practice of managing energy and resources, and when it seems that something out there has a mind of its own, well it doesn’t have one unified mind. There are many minds, and they are all interacting. Karma, providence, even chi flow, are all just aspects [...]
