Be Psionic
How does one know if they are Psionic? Those who are called to mysticism feel a desire to love/serve one or more spirits or gods, and they show the influence of these spiritual forces in their life. That’s a mystic. Christian mystics are very Christ like, Buddhist mystics are Buddha’s, though usually neither show this one…

Storm Of Renewal
The topic is renewal. Sounds nice doesn’t it? Renewal? To make new? Sounds refreshing, no? People are terrified of it. It’s perhaps the state of being most avoided and treated like a plague. Nature/earth/God (what have you) has a process that is renewing. It’s also universal and people fear it. What renews a forest? Fire. Yes,…

Weather The Storm
Can a physical storm hit and not create a sensory/cognitive impression? The electrical impulses zapping around our brain is like a storm. So where is the boundary between the physical storm and the cerebral ones? Perhaps that’s why a storm feels like a mini renewal? A lot of people report a storm “clears their head”.…

Unstable Relationship
Let’s do a thought experiment, shall we? Anyone care to share one of their storms? Past or present, even future if you perceive that. Hmmm, not sure if this is one, but I’m trying to decide if a relationship is worth saving. It is, yes. Dealing with an unstable relationship. It has winds, “hot air.”…

Embracing Renewal
Renewal. It’s the spiritual season, and a benchmark for the world spirit itself. Renewal is a positive thing, no? Depends on what you are renewing? Exactly. If it isn’t personal it can seem wonderful, but personal renewal… We run from it like our life depends on it, do we not? Who embraces personal renewal in…

The Universe
I just read where the Hubble telescope is now seeing 13.2 billion years back in time to very, very close to origins of the big bang. That is the theory, yes. I favour the ekpyrotic theory myself. Dimensional “membrane” collision as the source of the energy release and the definitive pattern for both gravity and…

Truth and Lies
Rosicrucianism is a pseudo-gnostic school with a lot of obtuse arguments regarding the nature of human progress and spiritual advancement. The Rosicrucian movement can be argued to be a hoax similar to the supposed Illuminati. There isn’t a lot to say about it of any coherence. What constitutes a hoax? Incoherence. Same as what constitutes…

Rumination On Life
Do you consider contemplative prayer to be akin to a focused meditation? Not really. It functions sort of differently. Contemplative prayer is a sort of focus, yes, but not necessarily formal. Ever notice that even without direction or making a special effort, you tend to dwell on some things? Contemplative prayer is more like a…

Norse Gods
I employ a lot of metaphors and intellectual tools when I try to teach a class. Thing. The word is of Norse origin. Know what it means? Mystery. The allthing was a meeting of Norse spirituality. They didn’t really have a priesthood. Luck is also Norse. Luck meant tendency/fate. The Norse had the habit of…

Tower Of Babble
Usually people sort of blend into the background noise going through the motions of spirituality, but some do stand out. People tend to form gestalt constructs in my memory. I know that I have remembered someone when they fit one of those complexes, but how people identify themselves is not how I identify them anyway.…

Personal Greater Good
In our spiritual darkness class, I like to encourage people to speak freely, but it is not a venue for bashing on anyone or criticizing how they deal with things. I will try to offer only constructive advice and will try to keep it relevant/asked for. Unlike many other spiritual groups, we do not discourage discussion…

Double Life
Most people find living with parents once out of the nest even more frustrating, because they start to treat you like a child again. Both parties change, and yet sometimes expect you to fall back in to old patterns. Do you feel respected currently? I moved back in out of concern, respect and necessity, but…
