Ghost Consciousness
Shall I go into what consciousness for a haunting ghost is like? They transition into a “sleep like” state as we do while alive, but all of their energy is now expressed in this artifact of their formally organic mind. It becomes very vivid, and often times at least semi-lucid. This is why some ghosts…

High Intelligence Beings
I will go into a related phenomenon, non human haunting. First off, they aren’t haunting. There are states of being that parallel incarnation without assuming a material state, but I’m going into non-human haunting because the average person does relate them. Some are merely psychic parasites looking for whatever energy they can grub onto. Some…

Do We Feel Productive?
Productivity is a big concern in the real world, is it not? Have any of you had a day where you did absolutely nothing? Really? Tell me how this was possible? Define “doing nothing”? Literally nothing. Think nothing. Do nothing. Not change in any way. Literally nothing? Not since between incarnations. I would debate even…

Engaged In Life
We are creative and expressive beings, living paradoxes if you will. I live by an old eastern saying, “Nothing is true, everything is permitted.” This relates very much to productivity, I feel. Anyone see how? Perhaps let’s examine the precept a portion at a time. It is very old. First the statement that nothing is…

Purpose of Cognition
What is the purpose of cognition? It’s properly subordinate to perception, and perception is structured well before even your basic individual gene sequencing happens. It‘s structured at a quantum level. At the range of the “PSI” factor, and I mean PSI factor in the original quantum mechanical sense. The tendency of any set of bodies…

Willingness To Engage
A right level of productivity is measured by having a good feeling of engagement in life. An instinctive sense of “fullness” and a sense of continued willingness to engage. Even rejecting a metaphysical explanation, the body has an awareness of whether or not it’s operating at its full capacity. I’m thinking of times when I…

Understanding A Dynamic
The topic is productivity. We tend to be very concerned with productivity, don’t we? Even if you aren’t employed? It’s a convoluted idea, this productivity. Have any of you spent a day doing literally nothing ever? Everything gets done always, but no one needs to do it. That’s the issue with productivity. As we live…

We All Belong
Desire forms are “emotional” forms, and in my opinion not the same as thought forms. Emotional forms are closer to Plato’s first forms, though there are forms that precede emotion. Do you all feel satisfied with your level of self expression in your lives? I offer you can be satisfied. Your very being will know…

Iconoclasm
Iconoclasm is a very old spiritual and philosophical paradox. On the one hand it differs from atheism in that it does not deny the reality of truth or God, but it challenges codification of these ideas. It is on its face an opposition to any representation of the divine images, and on another it’s a…

Forms of Iconoclasm
Iconoclasm has taken many forms across world cultures. I just remember the type that smash icons. Some factions smashed icons that they felt were not adequate or proper representations. They weren’t all absolutely opposed to any image at all. In fact, Catholicism has had iconoclastic movements without actually rejecting any representation at all. In part,…

Faith in Iconoclasm
An iconoclast is not necessarily faithless. As a matter of fact, Judaism has what could be considered a tradition of what could be called iconoclastic behaviour, formal debate of their law. Islam, as I understand it, is iconoclastic? Islam is iconoclastic in the literal sense, but has many strictly orthodox sects though some that aren’t…

Ideas Of Wrong
Our Spiritual Darkness class at One World, Many Paths is a bit less formal. It‘s more about being able to share the darker side of our spiritual lives without judgement and maybe receive some support. As usual advice is cheap, so any offered is not meant to offend. So maybe for a bit of darkness, doubt/insecurity maybe?…

Intense Experience
I’m setting myself up for a new experience pretty soon by enlisting in the Navy. And will learn much, though some may say it’s questionable. What in the end isn’t questionable? Free will. Yes, which is where questions arise from, and answers, and delusion, and the resultant liberation. I certainly questioned it. I still do,…
