  • Dragon Solstice

    Dragon Solstice

    Dragon Solstice ceremony and celebration excerpts recorded on Reflection Island in Second Life. Join the group ‘One World, Many Paths’ to attend Vampirekiss Fairey’s Events in real time and subscribe to One World Pod. Dragons are perhaps the most clearly universal spirit of the world itself. It’s sort of a mystery really if taken from a materialistic…

  • Be Not Ashamed

    Be Not Ashamed

    I’m wondering. How do we cope with so much shame going on? Cease identifying with the system, but we can’t take action based on that statement even if it’s clear. In hypnosis, they can’t use the suggestion “quit smoking” to make you quit smoking. You actually have to have a positive or present object of…

  • Why Of Invention

    Why Of Invention

    You have probably heard of a lot of “mancy” type bodies of info, or not, but mancy is sort of like the suffix “ology” in science. It is basically the same term referring to a body of knowing generally metaphysical in nature. Oneiromancy is the knowing related to dreams both divinatory interpretation and any insight…

  • Godlike Mind

    Godlike Mind

    Technomancy links back to other metaphysical systems directly by what they all have in common. The application of intelligence, and more specifically in computing you have the potential to exceed even “normal” intelligence. So potential is key? The idea that nothing is impossible. If you can dream it you can make it reality? Yes, but…

  • Rhythms of the Season

    Rhythms of the Season

    Strangely, as the places around the world seem to have very different climate and we associate this season with winter, the actual universally symbolic element is the winter solstice. Many of even the modern traditions are focused on and symbolize the observation of the lengthening hours of sunlight, the observed resurgence of the “son/sun.” The…

  • Spirit of Giving

    Spirit of Giving

    We complain about the modern Christmas being commercialized, but our ancestors did a lot of fortune seeking at that time of year even before the age of super malls and trendy stores. There was also a running debate regarding praying to angels, and this is part of why angels are a related image in Christmas. They…

  • To Make A Man

    To Make A Man

    There is a trend in technomancy to create a “robot”. It originates with the conception that any form that arises from matter is inherent in the matter itself. Long story short … The ancient alchemists believed that the process of creation was encoded on matter itself, and they believed that if they had the proper…

  • Homes Of Spirits

    Homes Of Spirits

    On the subject of (for lack of a better term) “idols”. Images of gods and spirits. Those cultures that don’t use them mistake them for literal identification, all the while using images themselves to feel connected to their “saints”. In Native culture, the images were seen to be homes for the spirits, but so was…

  • Evolving Into Spirit

    Evolving Into Spirit

    In one of the earliest stories of a “robot”, a mystic with his insights creates a “golem” to serve his community. But his insights are shallow and the golem, an animated statue of clay, after a while stops taking orders and instead starts destroying people and things. So far this imbalance still exists in the…

  • Humanities Cousins

    Humanities Cousins

    What is the technomancers view of robots? To a techomancer, these creations are humanities cousins. It’s evolutionary children and the mirrors of our own souls. We must be very careful from a technomancers view in exactly how we engineer these “children”, because their evolution will influence our own. Their fate will mirror our fate. It’s…

  • What Is Not Futile?

    What Is Not Futile?

    We are going to talk about futility. It has been on my mind a lot. I would start by asking, what isn’t futile? Breathing? Is if you’re submersed in water. The soul? Hmm, good response, and will go into that later. I’m thinking of dishes and laundry, and how you get them clean and then…

  • Presence In Experience

    Presence In Experience

    Responsibility. Are we responsible for anything beyond our direct human connections? I don’t see how we can be. Well, doesn’t that include the cosmos? We do chant for the sun to rise. Our direct connections do include the land we live with, yes, but most people feel ill equipped to see the land as something…

  • Find Your Passion

    Find Your Passion

    We are drawing nearer to the source than we ever have before as human beings. It’s causing some to have crisis of faith, others it’s been validating for. Crisis, because they are scared of the truth? Yes. So with this view, nothing is futile with the proper inner state brought to any act? Yes, but…

  • What Is Futile?

    What Is Futile?

    What do you feel is futile, friends?  Avoiding change. Yes, and having a sense of futility usually comes from an effort on your part to avoid change, very good. Pretending Second Life isn’t real. If Second Life isn’t real then real life isn’t real, and if I go somewhere I will see a bunch of…

  • We Matter

    We Matter

    We need to feel like we matter. A well respected psychologist by the last name of Maslow said this. He was the first to look for a model of healthy, high functioning mentality. They think “mattering” is something you have when you have money. Yet we live in a system that can only really function…

  • Crazy Inspiration

    Crazy Inspiration

    The biggest source of futility is actually “trying” and people try a lot. It’s huge in about every social circle. Futile is what logic is when you try to use it in place of creativity. That’s true. Logic is a form of trying, and usually very trying, especially if it’s supposed to replace experience. When…

  • Get Crazy

    Get Crazy

    Welcome. We are getting crazy here. Hmmm, deadly fire filled paint cans that can go the moon and blow you up in the process. That’s nuts. If you wanted to do that then given time and resources you would. But that is the balancing factor, desire. Those instincts that say “this is good for me”…
