Spirituality for Living

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!About changing essential nature… I can turn water into vapour. It’s in waters nature to become vapour. You interact with it, but you don’t change its nature. The sun makes it vapour also. It is a part of what [...]

What is the difference between resistance and principles? Principles manifest as essences, and they don’t block you. They empower you. To say I believe that love is the highest ideal. What does love as the highest ideal prevent you from? Really nothing. It engages you more in life. It’s like saying food is good for [...]

I think the idea of gratitude is for the most part misunderstood. Seen as a humiliation often, but if you think about it there is nothing more ennobling. When you are in the experience of gratitude, you are in peace. You are in the present. When you cannot rest in the now, gratitude for that [...]

We network naturally. It isn’t something just corporate executives and politicians do. We often don’t even realize we are. We form pictures of people in our head. Is natural and not necessarily wrong, though it can be a stumbling block more than a stepping stone. You can choose to see the construct of the person [...]

I have an issue of action to share. Recently I had an issue with a loss of trust. Major broad spectrum loss of trust. It was activating me like crazy. I didn’t like feeling so badly about people, even about people I love. Well no amount of action was going to fix that. I was [...]

People mistake consciousness for individuality. There is a transcendent and encompassing consciousness. Our ancestors knew of it…Spirits of place. There is also a natural drive to harmony, to supporting the group. Order and disorder balance where there is oneness with the greater consciousness. We see Gaia consciousness as really just regulating simple creatures.
What moved me [...]

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 [...]

There is an interesting phenomenon happening soon that has never really happened before. Many prophetic cycles have resolved recently or will be resolving soon, like the Mayan calendar and the 2012 date. Myself I don’t canonize any cycle, but I think intuitively we can observe that many things are coming clear at this point and [...]

What do you think was REALLY meant by the concept of “Original Sin”? The symbolism of the Tower of Babel, and the concept of the original sin are one and the same. A separation of reason from intuition, of language from the collective. The perception of the mind and soul as fictional or as entirely [...]

Gnosis has many sources. It is one of those phenomenon like the preponderance of certain symbols that co-arose cross culturally. Like the presence of dragons in every world mythology.
The intuition that “god” is somehow indwelling the human soul has been expressed in many ways across all world cultures. The “gods” can be real even if [...]

If people barely are able to control their feelings , their thoughts and their actions, how can we hope to achieve a magickal act? Your emotions are linked to external energies. When you recognize the connection then you see that you are acted upon and can act in kind. Astrology is based on observations of [...]

Wonder and amazement in all. There is no evidence in any discipline to support that we must or even benefit from losing that stance. Some of the worlds famous geniuses have made statements suggesting that the greatness of their achievements didn’t come from “intellectual power”, but from their attitudes. From the simple desire to know, [...]

There is spirit everywhere. Spirit is being. If it exists there is spirit behind it. If it has action there is spirit behind that behaviour. Each eco-system has its own spirit. Individual sections of an eco-system can have recognizable spirits separate from the larger. I don’t believe in good and bad spirit. Just harmonious state [...]

We remember dreams with the ‘primary’ psychic method. So this is a way to know what is primary for you. It is often why we complain we can’t remember dreams. We have heard dreams described as vivid images, so it makes everyone think that is what they should be able to recall or relate, and [...]

‘Focus determines your reality’. Your reality is more than what you see with your eyes. Can you recall a time when you really only had one thing on your mind? When you’re doing a task that you’re really absorbed in?
Have you ever been in that state where you desired companionship and didn’t perceive yourself to [...]
