Spirituality for Living

Everyone is insane to some extent and without an awareness of that “potential” insanity then people do unconscious things. Entropy affects everything. Order can be destructive. Chaos can be constructive.
Does our subconscious control our conscious? No. The subconscious and conscious stem from a root awareness, but the subconscious is not divided against itself. More holistic, [...]

Certainty, as most people espouse it is fear based, but clarity is not paranoia and we cannot create clarity. We can only see clearly, and that is possible partially in those moments of surrender. We are not the way of the world, the way of the world is in us. When we see that unity, that [...]

What were some of the fundamentals about his thoughts or ideas? The analects of Confucius are a collection of works of his basic socio-political doctrines, and his teaching on social justice and compassion. He spoke of the need for loyalty and centralized authority, but not blind obedience. This is why his teachings would later result [...]

They say no news is good news, and one of our two primal fears is loud noise, a.k.a. news. It is a species wide fear, but humans are supposedly creatures of knowledge and communication. Leading the normal life is a drive, but more news makes the normal life pretty dang weird does it not? Nature [...]

Could you tell the difference between a void and a nexus? Maybe you are already there. Maybe your dreams, your thoughts, your very incarnation are a nexus that is aligned and can realign as is its nature. So how does multiplicity offend the unity? How does your individual self fall short in any way you [...]

Remote viewing is so simple it’s complicated, as many things are. It’s based on research and insights that state that even though your body is localized, mind as an energy and a construct of any sort is omni-present.
The first real acknowledged researcher was J.B. Rhine, but of all the para-psychological research being done, America took [...]

Why do we want to label our existence? The only truth at this moment is ‘I can’t say I am not. I AM that I am.’  To refuse labels is to label labels. Active opposition is service to the force you deride. Every moment is a new observation. In any moment a new insight can [...]

I would love to experience that feeling of peace again, that we all had often as a child. Just being outside looking at whatever and feel exactly as you are supposed to feel. I can’t put it into better english. That was perfect english. You said it just fine. What you fear controls you. What [...]

Dreams, emotions, thoughts and words are resonant portals within the astral. They tend to aggregate. There are “higher” and “lower” vibratory thoughts, and there is also harmonious or dissonant, elemental or spiritual, all sorts of coordinates. I don’t need to modulate my spiritual state of being to move in the astral. There are levels that [...]

Here is an interesting fact. Before this age of nations in the feudal era (feudal = war) there was war, but the total body of deaths is dwarfed by just the Vietnam war and that wasn’t even considered a world war. Where is this noble rule of law that lets people live free? My father [...]

In truth, there is no such thing as ‘no way out’. In Taoism they compare any situation to a storm. The storm is far more powerful than any human being. If it can’t persist then how can any block be permanent? Seas weren’t permanent, we call them deserts now. But if we accept a block [...]

All of nature, human and otherwise, observes a pattern and observable duality. Some decry this as human ignorance, but I will offer a different view.
Consider the Chinese symbol yin and yang. Some see it as a symbol of duality, and don’t go much further with it. But I find it the simplest most direct way [...]

People have just not learnt to accept the different, and when you accept the different then what happens to the designation of ‘different‘? Does it still bear emotional weight when you’re ok with it?
Dr Phil was talking about controlling behaviours in spouses and when someone says my husband always does this or never does that, [...]

Is there unity in denying duality? In a sense you are everything, but you don’t have to do it. You are everything because you are a part of everything, but my toes are not my fingers. Our nature is to express a part. 
There is a lot of emphasis on unity in spiritual circles these days. [...]

In the yin and yang symbol though it acknowledged duality and there is clearly a dark half and a light half, is it not a circle? And the circles in the two sides.  At the heart of yin, yang.  The heart of yang, yin. In Native American cultures they had young men who wanted to [...]

We won’t see unity in the world until diversity is accepted. We won’t have unity by blurring and denying duality. We won’t create enlightenment by declaring we know better than our senses, like we were some self stamped coin that we are trading in for a better bill. We are one because we are part [...]

One of the divisive points between Judaism and Christianity is Judaism is in a sense more Gnostic. Thus Rabbis did and still do write material that is treated as valid spiritual doctrine, and they question and break down their holy cannon to see the wisdom in it. Not because they don’t believe in it, not [...]

We are all lovers by nature, but allow circumstances to taint our ability to give. We think of self as unworthy, but there is no unity outside of that. The false self is the self we are taught, as opposed to what we are without being shown a role. What we are at our inner [...]

I am often surprised at how dualistic peoples minds are; love this, hate that, this is good, that is bad, this is spiritual, that is dirty. There are creeds today that though they profess to espouse unity, encourage us to deny/ignore/reject parts of our being.
A lot gets lumped in under ego, but ego is a [...]

To begin, Shintoism is not a religion, and yet it is. It’s the native belief system of Japan, and still in a sense very much alive and well, but it doesn’t identify itself as a body. Shintoism focuses on this life. They aren’t concerned with teachings to earn your way into an afterlife. Their rites [...]
