  • Deeper Now

    Deeper Now

    I’m discussing the “now”, or my view of it such as it is. I don’t agree fully with much of the material that’s popular on the subject of the now, but I do believe it’s a valuable understanding. Where I don’t agree is that it’s my opinion that many of the popular spiritual beliefs seem to…

  • Be Here

    Be Here

    Sin was originally a Greek term measuring the deviation of an arrow from a target, and it didn’t originally have other meaning. Sin was simply error, but error arises from the realm of the mortal. From the realm of the external and transitory now. In the event that was your advent there was no error,…

  • Necromantic Practice

    Necromantic Practice

    We are discussing necromancy. Keep in mind, I can discuss many things that I may or may not practice. Necromancy is actually very simple, as well as being highly controversial. It has been called a lot of things, and maybe one of the clearest is bone reading. Do any of you have in your possession…

  • Sin Eater

    Sin Eater

    What amounts to a necromantic practice is that of the Sin Eater. The Sin Eater was a person who performed a rite that is based on a Christian concept. Every sin must be atoned for, yes? If one could not receive final absolution, then one of the village, a Sin Eater, would perform a rite over…

  • Spiritual Sacrament

    Spiritual Sacrament

    The tribes in Indonesia that eat the brains of their loved one’s are practicing necromancy? In a sense they are, but for them it hasn’t broken from their shamanism. So it is in a sense a spiritual sacrament for them, and in some traditions of necromancy eating portions of the dead was practiced. I would…

  • Occult Science

    Occult Science

    If you view a living soul a specific way then the dead are the same. A good bulk of the late medieval era/early renaissance necromancy had prayers to God, the Christian God, and many seemingly very pious acts, as did Nostradamus rites of invocation before he divined. Usurped like many of todays festivals? Actually, yes.…

  • Aware of Spirits

    Aware of Spirits

    Usually children or pets tend to be aware of the world differently. The young animals that have bonded with people, and the children not brainwashed by imperialistic schooling. So often, someone who has a surviving pet, or a child that was born just before the death of a family elder, will see the departed person. I…

  • Habits in Distress

    Habits in Distress

    Stress re-enforces habit big time. I daresay some people are so accustomed to their stress habits they forget they are stressed. As in a twitch, or as in running away? The whole spectrum, facial tick, running away, uncontrolled rage, self-harm, and that is not a rare habit really. For every virtuous behaviour we have been taught,…

  • Sikhism

    Sikhism

    Sikhism is a religion that started at about the same time as the Protestant movement did in Catholicism. It takes influences both from Islam and Hinduism, and it’s original lineage was preserved by a short lineage of Gurus before it was encoded in their religious text. Please forgive my lack of mastery of the language, but…

  • Truth in All Things

    Truth in All Things

    The core belief in Sikhism is that you should seek truth in all things. They don’t have a concept of the unforgivable. They have no leg to stand on in their doctrine to “guilt trip” sinners, and no concept of hell. The Sikhs do have a saying and it isn’t a hate message. Their saying…

  • Overcoming Inertia

    Overcoming Inertia

    This is a law of the universe. From physics, to chemistry, to biology, the world is a balance between two states; action and rest. Now commonly the default state is seen as rest and there are reasons to believe this, but even zero point resonance isn’t without energy. Is zero point just balanced? Basically yes,…

  • Do Something

    Do Something

    Let’s take a routine activity. One we often don’t worry about. Someone want to offer one? Cleaning house? Ok, yes. For some people, house cleaning is very simple and not seemingly stressful. Some find it stress relieving. It is, but for one reason, and we can tap this reason in every stressful situation. When you are…

  • Renewal Cycle

    Renewal Cycle

    Why does our stress effect physical health? Disruption of the renewal cycle. Stress is a big factor in heart disease is it not? It is yes, perhaps the biggest. The renewal cycle is a conversion between actual and potential energy. You must act and accept being acted upon, and if you fight this dynamic it’s like…

  • Always Contributing

    Always Contributing

    There is no such thing as action and non action. The opposition there of, I mean. This is why non-action is such a good practice. When you step back from your acting, your words, or your agenda, like in meditation you can come to realize that nothing has actually stopped, and nothing actually does. People…

  • Don’t Fix It

    Don’t Fix It

    I’m not praising group think, but even if you aren’t into group think, you are still a part of that.  You are a very important part, and the individualist is giving us something huge. So see your connections. They are your stressors and they are also your strength. Don’t “fix it.” What makes you think you…

  • Response Ability

    Response Ability

    The world is very simple. So simple it seems to be hard for us to understand. Every physical science has as its bottom line patterns of action and rest. Any physical phenomenon works like this, and so do we. There is no such thing as a place without energy, or a time without energy for that…

  • War On Self

    War On Self

    Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War. What is bigger and more scary than war? Anything? War is about as worse as it gets. Suppression is bad too. Oh, suppression is bad. Suppression is war on self, and people love their wars on self. They will fight them, because they are told they should. But…

  • Psychosis

    Psychosis

    What is psychosis, really? Psychosis is very simple. We all are neurotic. If you do anything that doesn’t serve a practical purpose for you, that’s a neurosis. But if you can choose to do it or not, then that is what it stays, a neurosis. A psychosis is exactly the same thing, but minus choice.…
