Spirituality for Living

Some intuitive techniques might be helpful and interesting.  Intuition will be experienced in a very individual way, and I will run some phenomenon by you.

First intuitive technique is feeling that has no source we can identify with our senses. When you feel something about a place or person or idea and you didn’t choose to.  The intuitive [...]

For any light you have a shadow. The truth of any spirit is found not in the object of the senses nor its opposite, but in between. But often we see only what we choose to. We declare one small facet of reality ‘truth’, and refuse to see it very deeply. People refuse to see [...]

Meditation is not something you can achieve. When you sit and allow yourself to be where you are, and maybe not do anything in that moment even if your mind is spinning. Just realizing that your mind is spinning. That is meditation. You did meditate. The experience of being where you are, and how you [...]

Ego thinks ‘I do’ and that by virtue of ‘myself‘ I must do everything. Thought is not self. Thought is process and we are “created in gods image”. All powerful. Which means we have the power of ability to do all things. Good or bad.
We get caught up in the same thing. Ego is doing [...]

There is the fear of insecurity, and to choose is to change. To choose is to admit you needed to choose. That something had to change. People fear this like it was a threat to their own lives, and to their place in the herd. Truth be told the answer is readily at hand, but [...]

How psychic readings can be done is that some seem to visualize their thoughts as parts of their brain. This isn’t actually so, but the thoughts are energy patterns in a collective field that we are all present in. They have even discovered that dogs can be trained to sense the neural spiking in seizure [...]

Truth cannot be proven or disproven. It is simply a truth. All truths are real and not real at the same time. Third point of the hermitic triangle, and magical symbols are in essence very simplified image magic. You have the hypothesis, your paradigm or world view, and you have the antithesis which is actually [...]

When you look around, what do you really see? I’m sure you think you see trees and grass and buildings and stones, but in fact your own science says that you aren’t actually seeing that. You are seeing light. The light comes from everywhere, and exists on all levels. From the range of light you [...]

Looking back for my future. Looking forward it’s past. The only time I can love you is in the now. Not a race. Hey, wrote a poem.   Yes, that’s the truth.  If right now I just cannot accept my now, I can take radical action. Nothing is truly circumstantial, but things are balanced. You choose radical change [...]

Maybe nations are the gullible ones? An old acquaintance of mine once said, and you might recognize this from ‘Men in Black’ also, one person can be smart, crowds are stupid. So, yes. Just last Christmas, there was no emergency, no natural disaster, but three people were trampled to death.
You can avoid accountability in a [...]

In the shadow, the human mind will create “bad” things“, but the bad things are things arising from our nature, the same as those parts of ourselves we praise. But being parts of the one whole truth of who we are, often that shadow mirrors everything we consider worthy, every virtue we claim stemming from [...]

The first discipline of language magic is listening, and at first you will be listening to yourself. This is necessary. As you listen to yourself, you will see the pattern, and how it impacts the world. At this point you can begin to make choices, but you can’t stop there. That’s just meditation, though that’s [...]

The internal now is different from the external now. We do experience the internal now from time to time. As children we either lived in it, or could have. For the child there is an “I”, but I can be anything. They at first play with I until they are made to hurt regarding I. [...]

I value my shadow side, and have a natural inclination toward it. It is sort of my spirituality, but people often mistake me. A light during the day can go unnoticed in the broader light. This same light in darkness stands out very clearly. If you are a darkly inclined person it doesn’t mean you [...]

Courage is not a well understood factor of life, but we do experience it anyway.  It’s a pretty important part of life, so it might profit us to understand it.  
Courage is often seen in negative definition only, and that tends to distort it. This is courage as it relates to fear, but every person we call courageous [...]

We have not one drive, but two. A will to self preservation and fear, but also a will to power. Courage. A motivation to engage the world. Some soldiers do actually want to see the battle won, and we in our civilian life are not taught to really back up our desires, our goals, or values. [...]

I practice Vipassana meditation, and when I’m with fellow mediators they say they would like to experience how relaxed I appear. I tell them, that’s only an appearance. That I’m just observing my spasming back and legs that want to move. My body is completely not at rest. That’s a good thing to tell them, [...]

I find that rest and growth come in cycles. As if spirit is directing all sorts of synchronicity, and then once the information has been received the rest begins to integrate what was taken in. Yes, indeed. I have called it the breath of the spirit, but our “self knowledge” often misdirects the growth cycle [...]

You know the healing power of a baby!? It is big! Yes, babies are examples of human nature in its pure form. Taoism says this. Buddhism says this though less bluntly. Many of the pagan faiths have the divine child symbolism, which was also taken up by Christianity, and many see the “Christ child” as [...]

A bucket list is a good way to gauge how on purpose your life is, or it can be. With the wrong attitude it could do harm.
I don’t really have a list. I figure the stuff that matters will happen anyway. If you saw the movie they didn’t actually do everything on the list. It [...]
