  • Judgement and Our World View

    Judgement and Our World View

    Judgement is something I have been dealing with lately, but there are some simple facts regarding it. As much as people may want to believe otherwise, we do not respond to an objective reality. The world and our lives as we see them are simply the bi-product of judgements me make. The first and foremost being…

  • The Third Point

    The Third Point

    The shadow consciousness theory of psychology is the notion of suppression of our selves by our judgement. When we see other people doing what we have stopped ourselves from doing, it traumatizes the shadow consciousness. Our judgement traumatizes it reflexively. Being moral entrepreneurs, it brings doubts to our certainties, or enforces our bitterness and jealousy…

  • Mirroring

    Mirroring

    There can be said to be two paths in the world. In the Cabala, they are called the pillar of mercy and the pillar of severity, but in fact there are three points. They are only opposed in the minds of those who oppose them. My own path is more in keeping with the pillar of…

  • Truth Is

    Truth Is

    They say adversity doesn’t make you who you are, it shows who you are. It’s there. There is more than judgement. Like language is acquired by an infant, there is a language behind the mind/body connection. There is a language by which the world is assembled, and having failed to acquire that it makes things…

  • Restriction of Judgement

    Restriction of Judgement

    Judgement, what it is and what it does. Judgement is an inherently restrictive force in the mind, but it lays no restrictions on others not without some overt force. Our judgements restrict us. We do not perceive our world directly. We do not see things as they are. We see them as we judge them…

  • Negative Self Judgement

    Negative Self Judgement

    Here is an example of negative self judgement. A man feels that there must be something wrong with any woman who wants to be with him, and feeling this way has him sabotaging his relationships. In this case, he has learned to take relationships seriously, and likely has looked at his own behaviour in a very…

  • Knowing in Advance

    Knowing in Advance

    Time and space are not constants. It is more a Swiss cheese than a solid supportive object, and there have been many examples of it. For me it’s a pretty frequent event, and I suspect that many people experience it but it gets lost in the mental shuffle. Premonitions, a.k.a. pre-cognition, knowing in advance. We…

  • Human View

    Human View

    We created science with the notion that observation could reveal laws of reality. That it could be understood and used to permit us more of what we desire. Freedom, power, health. This has proven true at least for the most part, but we hold the superstition that there are these little closed systems. Little splinter…

  • All Connected

    All Connected

    Our ideas aren’t necessary for events to happen, but they do influence. For all functional purposes our ideas govern our lives. When you see an event “in advance” there isn’t any time, you just see the event. Like quantum mechanics action at a distance. The event is the event whether it has “happened” or not,…

  • Feel the Pulse of Life

    Feel the Pulse of Life

    Is it best to practice random acts of kindness? Yes, and I can say from personal experience. I have been no great success in life. Not ridiculously wealthy, or famous, or privileged, but many times I have avoided harm by having seen that effect and living according to it. Even spared a sibling of mine who…

  • Shape Your World

    Shape Your World

    Part of why some metaphysical practices seem to fail is that you deal with the energy of doubt, of fear, of hope. If you try to manifest, you confront the whole world within you. This is why people often feel anxiety at the prospect of manifestation and here is the real trick. If you try…

  • What Do You Hope?

    What Do You Hope?

    Hope is the idea that you can go forward. It’s actually an instinct. They say animals don’t deal with things like hope, but observations show otherwise. Their motivations are in a sense more simple than our own, but that doesn’t necessarily mean much. Hope is an instinct. If we lived solely by our rational minds, then…

  • Hope Guides

    Hope Guides

    Find what you want. Then acting on that, what would you do? Then do that. Do you wonder what else you should do? Wondering like that is doubt. Doubt is the opposite of hope. Hope guides, doubt bars the way. Look at it from a ‘what can I do right now’ point of view, even…

  • Hope Manifests

    Hope Manifests

    Hope manifests. In my actions if in no other way, and my actions have a meaning for any who would witness. It may not be the meaning I want, but they generate an impact. The spirit of the action gets through even if they aren’t conscious of it. I have gone through my life like…

  • Personal Responsibility

    Personal Responsibility

    Hope in this day and age seems a much maligned feeling. Yet we deal with levels of mental illness that have never been known before. Stress related illnesses are our biggest killers, and yet we are admonished to be realistic, be rational. How realistic is it to say that we should be rational first and foremost?…

  • What Matters?

    What Matters?

    Which matters more, money or the ones you love? Which matters more, stability or growth that keeps up with the communities needs? Money doesn’t do much on its own. It is largely a meaningless number in a bank if you have no hope. You could be incredibly rich and have that money count for nothing…
