  • Power of the Word

    Power of the Word

    The subject is the power of the word. It isn’t the word of any doctrine or belief, but that factor of belief is a part of it. It is the creative power of speech, of articulating thought in words. Many traditions use chant in one form or another, but modern cultures seem to have lost…

  • Forms of Words

    Forms of Words

    What about those that can’t speak nor hear? They will speak in body language. The mudra is as powerful as the mantra. They are both language, and the more fully you express, the more powerful the expression. Helen Keller could not see or hear. She understood and could express herself, and did quite eloquently. Your…

  • You Are Not Mind

    You Are Not Mind

    We shape our minds when we shape the ideas we call words. In shaping the mind we shape the world as we see it, and dispose ourselves to function according to the ideas we create. Here is a strange idea. “Our mind”. Did we create mind? Are we the originator of mind? Did it not…

  • What is Zen?

    What is Zen?

    It is a commonly mistaken notion that Buddhists see the Buddha as especially divine. There is a school or two that does, but in fact the majority of Buddhist sects are almost agnostic as it regards deities. Zen would be one of these. There are two branches of thought in Buddhism. One is that enlightenment…

  • Zen Practice

    Zen Practice

    Ever see Zen art? They use simple ink and they refuse to draw from memory. They seek to trap the sense impression, so the images are very impressionistic. Suggesting the image of say a bird, because in fact as we move about in our normal consciousness, how vividly does anything register on us? Usually not very, and…

  • Enlightenment

    Enlightenment

    There are stories where the Zen master says something, and the student is said to be ‘enlightened’.  In that moment the words didn’t matter as much as the students thinking, and what will do that for any student differs. This is why you see the symbol of the dorje or lighting bolt in Buddhism, because…

  • Finding your Path

    Finding your Path

    How do I find my path? This is a question most people ask. In Taoism, they say if in anything you encounter resistance, it is not it, but yourself. You encounter resistance because you haven’t found the way of your act. The way of your being. This resistance is a good thing. It is like…

  • Psychic Realms of Function

    Psychic Realms of Function

    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…

  • Value of Being Spirited

    Value of Being Spirited

    In many schools of thinking being excited about life is frowned upon. It is seen as somehow irresponsible. It is supposedly better to become dead inside and tractable and to pursue only “sensible” things. What in life is sensible? What of our wants and need are rational? Take humour. What is practical about humour? But I…

  • What do you think of our site?

    What do you think of our site?

    This site has evolved naturally as posts have been added in the area of spirituality, psychic function and world beliefs.  We’re in the process of figuring out how to describe the overall theme of the site to better attract readers (eg. spiritual guide, self help guide, motivational, self improvement, spiritual coach, etc.).  How would you describe…

  • Natures Wisdom

    Natures Wisdom

    We often dilute the bodies wisdom and thus natures wisdom, by deluding ourselves that thought is superior to instinct. That wisdom is something we achieve. That we can gain it by being educated, “smart”. All mysticism and wisdom traditions contradict this. It arises from the dominance of scientism today, and modern scientists are weak substitutes…

  • Clarity of our Natural Way

    Clarity of our Natural Way

    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…

  • Your Inner Demon

    Your Inner Demon

    How does a demon go about being spiritual? Demons are spiritual. Darkness is merely the mirror image of light, and much is declared dark from prejudice only. Bad is debatable. The spirit that challenges you to know the truth of yourself is bad? The spirit that reminds you of the value of life, or what…

  • Passion and Choice

    Passion and Choice

    The monk is passionate, passionate in ascetic seeking. The zealot is also passionate, passionate in persecution. Some believe the monk is trained to forget his physical humanity, and to focus on the mind and that is not passion but doctrine. I would disagree. There are surfaces and there are depths. Monks live in their own “chosen” world…

  • My Action

    My Action

    Action stems from passion. You may passionately believe I am mistaken, and feel powerfully moved to tell me so. The world moves and we move in it. There is a reason they say ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. I am not advocating a stance that in any way obfuscates…

  • Mind and Magic

    Mind and Magic

    Psionics is approaching the world through the cognitive functions. The powers of the mind, and that ability to transcend without loosing the context of physical existence. In psionics you use and develop your personal energy in eastern mysticism called ki or chi, and see how channelling your personal energy can influence the world. Psionics is…

  • Practice and the Personal Path

    Practice and the Personal Path

    So what do the psychic realms of function mean personally? We all come to a metaphysical or spiritual practice with our essence as it always was, even if we don’t understand our own nature well and often times we engage the first path we come across. Like the very “spiritual” and popular mysticism, and if…

  • Our Dark Side

    Our Dark Side

    There is a dark side to may popular attitudes that people deny, and in fact everything we think and do is symbolic. Even with the more “normal” types. Some say suicide is by no means symbolic, but indeed it is. It is usually the playing out of a drama that was full of symbolism. It…
