  • Three Pillars

    Three Pillars

    One of the divisive points between Judaism and Christianity is Judaism is in a sense more Gnostic. Thus Rabbis did and still do write material that is treated as valid spiritual doctrine, and they question and break down their holy cannon to see the wisdom in it. Not because they don’t believe in it, not…

  • Tree Of Life Shadow

    Tree Of Life Shadow

    Judaism doesn’t have any concept of hell, but the emanations in some schools of Kabbalism have a shadow aspect. The tree of life and its shadow. It’s called the tree of life because it is seen as an outgrowth of the infinite God, and the emanations arose in stages. It’s shadow element isn’t much talked…

  • Force of Love

    Force of Love

    The subject is love, and I will be attempting to discuss love in a broad sense. There is a principle in nature, and by nature I don’t mean the conventional sense, but nature as the primal essence from which evident things emanate. The principle seems to be a healing/balancing force. As a matter of general…

  • Love Is

    Love Is

    Love being relational raises a question. Is there love in ‘oneness’? As is most commonly defined, no. We originate in seeming duality as a manifestation of love. Love can be said to be the clear and aware engagement of the life/light itself.  The will of the divine and of all life before any discord, is love.…

  • Way to Love

    Way to Love

    Being alone, as I understand it, is often a production of our thoughts making us think we’re alone? Yes, I agree, but it’s not an original thought. It’s an afterthought that arises from the series of expectations we are taught, and seems true in that system of thinking, though it is in no way factually…

  • Principle of Love

    Principle of Love

    I mean to discuss love, not as a personal feeling so much, but as an aspect of the world and its function. It’s a very pervasive principle, but as most people know it, it seems to be as much a source of grief as of support in this life. I will offer that the idea of…

  • Lovers By Nature

    Lovers By Nature

    We are all lovers by nature, but allow circumstances to taint our ability to give. We think of self as unworthy, but there is no unity outside of that. The false self is the self we are taught, as opposed to what we are without being shown a role. What we are at our inner…

  • The Center Holds

    The Center Holds

    Your mind comes from the same source as anything you will accept as mind comes from.  Minds existed before your personal mind existed, and will after. Mind, like love, is an aspect of existence that we did not create, that we live with and in. Mind is observed to exist, and it exists despite the…

  • Who are you?

    Who are you?

    Tell me a bit about yourself: who you are, where you’re from, what you do, what you like the most, and what you would like to see on this site.  This will also help you get to know some of the other lurkers, and perhaps make the site more interesting. Leave a comment to this post…

  • Affirmation of Talent

    Affirmation of Talent

    The law of sympathy is that like affects like. If my talent just makes me sympathetic to something that isn’t my central nature, it would be weakening more than strengthening. Wouldn’t it be odd for a talent to draw in something not central? Actually no. Often times, sort of like the implied motion in the…

  • Creatures of Myth

    Creatures of Myth

    It’s often said of past cultures and their practices that we are more enlightened than they were, but I offer that we aren’t any more enlightened. We’re just further down the road. Many of our modern creeds, value systems, and even world views are actually of very old origin. One such practice (and its actual…

  • Our Minds

    Our Minds

    I am dealing specifically with the mind, and not specific spiritual values. We can’t make technologies and leave our minds unaltered, but we have ignored or even countered the natural patterns of the mind. We make machines that generate levels of force our minds can’t even track, like the speeds of automobiles. What has been…

  • Modern Magic

    Modern Magic

    I see Carl Jung as having been an excellent scientist, a definite peer to Einstein. Though their focuses were different, their understanding of the minds role in the world was the same. Basically, they were modern wizards, and they weren’t motivated by proving their faith in the materialistic world. They didn’t even have the motivation…

  • Empathy with Pets

    Empathy with Pets

    I will begin by talking about empathy, and empathy is not compassion. Empathy is the ability to feel the feelings in creatures and places, like entering the presence of someone who’s depressed, and without asking or making a “logical” observation knowing that they are. Has anyone experienced this? Much of the “telepathic” is rooted in…
