  • Parenting Skill

    Parenting Skill

    The first skill a parent needs, and it’s instinctive but we shun it as the infant matures, is simple listening. Is the baby crying? Are they hungry, scared, lonely? Why is this wrong for us to use with ourselves or out intimates? If we kept that listening, would there be neglected seniors? Would we be…

  • Primal Relationship

    Primal Relationship

    I intend to discuss the spiritual facets of parenting. How many of you are parents? But no, it’s not necessary to be a parent to gain from this. We are all involved in parenting. We were parented in one form or another, and some of us are parenting. It’s perhaps one of the most primal…

  • Real Authority

    Real Authority

    Are you the real authority on you? Is anyone here the real authority on themselves, or is that discouraged? Are you busy “playing house” or rather “playing life”? Are you happy? Most parents say they want their children to grow up happy and busily deny happiness, because it isn’t responsible. I acknowledge being response able.…

  • Be the Guide

    Be the Guide

    I have zillions of questions about parenting. You are the seeking child. You are the loving little boy or girl. You just need to help the child out of the whole. You were good and learned what you were taught. Now be good to yourself.  Be the guide you didn’t have to yourself and anyone…

  • Charms To Attract

    Charms To Attract

    Most natural magic uses one of two ideas. It’s pretty simple as a whole, but it is sort of like a magnet. They use amulets and such to repel undesired things, like disease or bad fortune, and there is a lot of that in feng shui. Charms are on the opposite side of that spectrum.…

  • Language of Diplomacy

    Language of Diplomacy

    Humans give charms power not vice versa? Well, humans relate to power by charms. Even if it’s just a spoken phrase that seems like a fetish, like “I can’t” or “I don’t know”. If you are healthy, your eyes are always communicating with light on some level, your ears with sound, your body communicating contact…

  • Compositions of Mind

    Compositions of Mind

    Numbers and language have a literal connection to what they refer to in the subconscious mind. So your subconscious doesn’t see the number three (3), it will instead represent it in geometry. Has anyone noticed you can’t really read in dreams? Yes. It’s hard, but I’ve managed a little. I can, but I’m weird. Ah,…

  • Use of Charms

    Use of Charms

    Anyone care to give an example of what they might want to attract in their life? Sincerity? If you want to attract sincerity use symbols of truth, justice, balance. Like a scales, the sign of Libra, or a photo of an innocent, a puppy dog or a young child.  Whatever seems strongly linked to sincerity.…

  • Field of Stars

    Field of Stars

    Can anyone name the worlds oldest religious texts? Bahagavida? Good guess, but in written form it isn’t as old as another. The Egyptian tomb texts predate any religious cannon. They even predate the Book of the Dead which was later published. For the Egyptians, life and death weren’t separate things. They were seen as parts…

  • Walking With Spirit

    Walking With Spirit

    There was a goddess named Hathor, the hippo who governed the Nile.  You were considered to need to cross the Nile so they invoked the aid of the Bison Goddess by imitating her act of creation. The shaping of human bodies from clay. Except in this case the clay was linked to the spirits of the…

  • Kingdom of Osiris

    Kingdom of Osiris

    The Egyptian Pharaoh was both King and High Priest. At first, the ascension (not unlike the Buddha’s ascension) was considered possible only to the Pharaoh. It was only later that they came to believe that all souls could ascend, and when they transformed into the Akh they were able to wander the whole world though…

  • Yin and Yang

    Yin and Yang

    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…

  • Natural Difference

    Natural Difference

    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…

  • Reflection

    Reflection

    One thing about some religions is they require submission to the male, the husband. This was one reason I couldn’t stay in that culture. There are cultures, though more rare, that were matriarchies. Yes, it seems like these codifications happen. To address the issue of codification, there is cognition and there is recognition. Cognition can…

  • Two Worlds

    Two Worlds

    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…

  • Know By Realization

    Know By Realization

    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…

  • Accept Diversity

    Accept Diversity

    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…

  • Synchronicity Brains

    Synchronicity Brains

    Synchronicity is in a way very simple. It’s an observation that events in consciousness and events in the material world tend to synchronize similar to the observer phenomenon in science. Essentially it’s the identity of the event with the thought or state of being. There is an interesting correspondence, you cannot imagine something that has…
