  • What is ‘Psychic’?

    What is ‘Psychic’?

    Psychic function is not any more mysterious or complicated than learning style. One of the biggest stumbling blocks about learning to perform psychically is the idea that it’s necessarily a special state of mind. The brain itself is a sense organ. It exists to sense the input from the senses and assemble it into “coherent”…

  • Madness and Spirituality

    Madness and Spirituality

    Madness as it relates to spirituality. It is strange. They say the more you learn the less you know. The deeper the knowing goes the less you can say anything for certain and then when you are questioned people just dismiss your responses as being obtuse. You become an expert at learning. Buddhism is often…

  • Image of God

    Image of God

    Why is science now a religion? And why is psychology the “rational” definition of soul? In many peoples minds, if I say “I believe I am the image of God”, people will call me crazy. But if I accept the psychological terms and describe myself that way, then that is ok. The erroneous notion of…

  • Time and Tao

    Time and Tao

    So eliminate the concept of future… or past? Even physics suggests that future and past are actually not evidenced in the nature of the systems we use the ideas to describe. In being timeless you are being what you are at the core, the soul. It is hard to live without time, maybe impossible. The…

  • Avoid the Madness

    Avoid the Madness

    Shoulda, woulda, coulda syndrome. Why does it exist? Should? Then why? Would have? Then why didn’t you? Could of? What does that mean? It’s madness. You can question everything. I strongly encourage it. The point where nothing seems to have meaning because everything is questionable. That is when you can see real meaning, because it…

  • Dealing with Negativity

    Dealing with Negativity

    Dissonance, as in different notes or tones conflicting, is the concept. Spirituality is often compared to music metaphorically, but in many ways it’s not strictly metaphor. Many people speak of spiritual presence as being like a voice or sound, and we each of us contribute to this. We each make more of an impact on…

  • Being Out of Place

    Being Out of Place

    That sense of dissonance, of being out of place, is important now more than ever. It can serve as a motivator for change. This system we now have, how is it ok? Why should it be allowed to exist without disturbance? Maybe those of us who are out of synch, owe it to the people…

  • What can we do?

    What can we do?

    We have become very lazy expecting everything to be explained and researched for us. Science claims to have avoided metaphysical speculation and this is one of the major lies of science. It isn’t malicious, but it also isn’t true. They have put forth an irresponsible view that we can ignore the ‘why’ and focus only…

  • Secret of Grounding

    Secret of Grounding

    Remaining grounded, sort of like an electrical circuit. It’s a very broad topic. Every world tradition has spoken of it and its necessity in one form or another. Honestly, if you aren’t pursuing “spiritual practices”, there is a tendency in life to get scattered. To get seriously out of touch with the basics of life…

  • Wonder and Amazement

    Wonder and Amazement

    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,…

  • Money is Thinking

    Money is Thinking

    Let’s discuss a popular social idea. Money. Money is thinking. Ideas related to having and entitlement. The intuition behind money is having. So feel in your gut a sense of having. Perhaps if you need an object of the “having” use your computer as the thing you own. When you feel you have something. What…

  • Our Thought and Senses

    Our Thought and Senses

    What is the form of thought? Now that is interesting. Form is coherent or “encoded” memory. Energy I mean, and memory. The energy of any given object is perceptible to us. The memory and the energy of the object are not separate, but thought seems more nebulous than sense data, less clear. It’s actually not.…

  • Triggering Psychic Function

    Triggering Psychic Function

    So how to trigger the psychic ability if we choose, or knowingly avoid the triggers? Your mind is a world. Has many facets like a kaleidoscope that will show you different things with a change in focus. Most people are more focused on emotion than they would admit, and so they are caught up in…

  • Sense of Place

    Sense of Place

    The topic is sense of place and I don’t mean societal role but more of how where you are is a part of who you are, or rather who you see yourself to be. A lot of what you think as true of you applies also to what you think is true of where you…

  • Our Connection to Place

    Our Connection to Place

    If we saw our own connection to our place, even as we move from place to place in a solidly experiential way, that might change things. Realizing that everything is you and you are everything. Part of sense of place is that realization. You can’t say self knowledge is complete without it, and the relationship…

  • Spirit of Place

    Spirit of Place

    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…

  • Way of Death

    Way of Death

    There is a way of death. There is a way of being out of harmony with death. In this ‘now’, man has forgotten this way. Fear of death is not the way of death. In my own spirituality, the way of death is a cornerstone. Only new cycles. The left hand path of the cycle,…

  • Your Life

    Your Life

    Meditation is not something you can achieve. Meditation is 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…
