  • Christianity and Other Faith

    Christianity and Other Faith

    Christianity has been around 2009 years give or take 30. Has it advanced us spiritually? In a sense, yes. The dissonance caused has, and even the message at the heart of the doctrine which had a hand in inspiring Islam. Though the big three (Muslim, Christianity, Judaism) despaired their fourth brother, the Yezidi faith (non…

  • Family

    Family

    You will abusively cuddle and play with your one year old? Because you selfishly want to see smiles and laughter? Impose a doctrine of happiness and learning by mistakes? Heretic! You worry about the state of the world for them of course. You see a vulnerable little boy or girl.  You don’t think of your…

  • Mystical Approach to Christianity

    Mystical Approach to Christianity

    The Christ Consciousness movement is a technically heretical view of Christian dogma. It’s sort of neo-Gnosticism. It focuses on the Christ and the Holy Spirit rather than the person of Jesus the Christ as a phenomenon, and had a Greek emphasis. The word literally means christening or christened one. In a sense, it’s like the…

  • Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ

    Christ was a living person? Well, this is where people get confused. Christ isn’t a name, and even old Gnostics saw the messiah as a spirit. Swedenborgian Christianity believes that the prophecy is already fulfilled, but Christ was socially a title. Even King Herod who was King of the Jews bore the title Christ. Though…

  • An Angry Jesus

    An Angry Jesus

    Christ’s noble truths he widdled down to one, and the Christ Consciousness movement emphasizes this. God is love and though art God. The term love didn’t have such a narrow view, it meant for all intents and purposes peace. That in finding peace you find God, not in finding rationalization and he speaks heavily against…

  • Source of Loneliness

    Source of Loneliness

    Loneliness is interesting. People who are experiencing what they call loneliness say it’s because there are few or inadequate people in their circle of acquaintance/friendship/love, but how many people are out there that seem socially and emotionally very well connected, and yet they still complain of being lonesome? It’s not a rare complaint. Is it…

  • Lack of Self

    Lack of Self

    Emotion is not synonymous with awareness, so loneliness is an absence of recognizable feedback about the “self”, a.k.a. the ego. When a little boy or little girl are out playing in the yard, I mean a young one, maybe with a pet, or watching bugs, do they complain of being lonely? I often don’t feel…

  • Reality Checking

    Reality Checking

    How is not being lonely due to a correct identity superior to a conditioned sense of existing where one does not question and find they are alone? Is a suspicion of false identity necessarily present? Ok, let’s get reductionistic. The brain has been shown to engage in a process of reality checking without you choosing.…

  • The Uncarved Block

    The Uncarved Block

    Identity is innate, but it is not properly nurtured. The te as the Taoists say, the virtue of the uncarved block, is denied. Some children even before any conditioning are very physical and explorative, others are more observational and quiet. Any Moms care to confirm or refute this? But because the child is male (or…

  • Own Self Be True

    Own Self Be True

    How can one to their own self be true? You can sit. At least for moments you can sit and practice non-doing. You can let things go for moments, and as you do this repeatedly the insight gained carries on. You begin to really understand; ‘I’m doing this, I am not this’, or ‘I see…

  • Union with Self

    Union with Self

    Desirous of peers is one thing, desirous of personal union another? You will have no genuine union with a peer until you have genuine union with self. Otherwise the world is as ashes on the tongue, present but it feels empty. By comparison, you can’t give to another what you don’t have. Personal integrity is…

  • Why Are We Lonely?

    Why Are We Lonely?

    Loneliness is an interesting topic though at first it might seem quite shallow. We all feel we experience it and we are all right, but the question is why? Why in this great heavily human populated world do we feel lonesome? Any ideas? Fear? Fear to open your soul? We forget we are connected? No…

  • Roles Are Not Being

    Roles Are Not Being

    The human brain has a function. It’s always ongoing and subconscious, and it’s often called reality testing. It checks input in the moment against repetitive patterns of input.  Like scanning the environment while driving, if everything is going as you were taught driving should go, then you are calm and it’s all okay. In the…

  • You Are Alive

    You Are Alive

    Would you say that loneliness is a result of having become unconnected to yourself and to the universe? Unconnected to your own essence? Yes. Unconnected from how you started, to where you spiritually started. You were meant to grow from there, start from there and move forward, not jump ahead and declare that you have grown…

  • Angry Brain

    Angry Brain

    Anger is something that people delude themselves about seriously, and it never goes away. At any time you could become angry, and as much as you meditate, as much as you pray, anger doesn’t go away does it? It just needs the trigger and there in lays the problem, the trigger. People villainize the emotion,…

  • Character and Conditioning

    Character and Conditioning

    Is acting out of character depression? Depression precedes acting out of character. It’s the natural decay of the minds faculties from a mass of inhibitory tensions. It is living a life of “thou shalt not” without actually understanding why, or managing that “inner demon” so that it doesn’t smash it’s prison, your mind. It’s a…

  • Allow Anger

    Allow Anger

    Anger can take two forms, either a galvanizing certainty which is solid and even helpful, or a misdirecting blindly destructive and poorly understood berserking which is destructive. Is this also why you may speak in anger, but actually speak constructively in anger? Yes. I have gotten very angry before and when upset behaved very focused…

  • Focus Anger

    Focus Anger

    When you understand anger you begin to discover you don’t really have to control it. It arises like it does from the concept of control. You channel it. You own your anger by putting an end to objectifying your anger that is either making it a dirty object to bury in your mind, or projecting…
