Feel the Multiversal Flow
In the multiversal terrain, you can feel whether you are swimming upstream, or downstream, whether you are in the shallows or out of control in the rapids. Or a whirlpool. Yes. The sense just takes refining and conscious attention. There is no such thing as fate, but there are also no accidents. Seem paradoxical? As you…

The Shallows
Easy often leads to disaster. I was about to go into that. The shallows. There are people who seek out the shallows. They aren’t actually hard to find. Anything that slows you way down puts you in the shallows; addiction, alcoholism, severe neuroticism, self-righteous prejudice. The shallows, the easy path, is like a swamp. Swamps…

Transcendent of Human Understanding
What are miracles? My first thought on that was about other people calling it a miracle, that thing that is not supposed to happen, out of the ordinary, and divinely stimulated or brought into being. My real feeling about this is everything is a miracle, and not all, or if any of it, is explainable.…

Seeing Miracles
There is a concept. It’s called Little’s Law. It is an assessment of life experience as compared to the events we would consider personally powerful and significant. I will have to paraphrase to summarize. Working with the criteria of miracles as being highly unlikely and personally significant events, then given a sort of law of…

Miracles Arise from the Spaces
Without having the traditional notion of a deity or god (that the more traditional definition of miracle uses), is there a causative agent of a miracle? I would say always, because everything is coincidence. Everything coincides and follows a metaphor. Every aspect of human thought follows metaphor and one triggers another by association. Events create…

Patterns in the World
For me, god is life. I have not experienced a single sovereign god. I experience multiple gods, though I don’t like the term god. It’s too hierarchical. e ulu e ulu, kini o ke akua. kini = innumerable number of “gods”. Only akua is not God. In the old usages; akua (best we can decipher…

What is Personality?
What is personality? How someone conveys themselves to others. It is what makes uniqueness. Your own personal set of behaviours. A spirit of some kind behind your behaviours. “Doing something with personality.” Is it just about behavior or public image? I think it has emotion in it. Doing something with feeling. How often do we do…

Personalities Align with Objects of Awareness
Can we find personalities anywhere? Are they stockpiled somewhere in nature or in human institutions? Can anyone ever follow that advice to “get a life” even if they are willing? Personality is all around us, because it’s non local. It is personal, but not confined, not fixed in any specific form. This is why a…

Personal Core
In Buddhist practice, you learn that there is no “I” you can point at. Your “I” is in the space to experience. And that gets us right down to the personal core of personality. We are not bricks in a wall, cells in gods brain, as amusing as the concept might be. We perceive ourself…

Our Energy Fingerprint
If you imagine the first and foundational reality as an infinite sea of formless potential, raw energy of life, if you took a flash photograph of that roiling sea of primal life energy, fixed in that one time and place, that is a personality. And though it exists as an individual and will endure as…

The First Sound
Personality is the first sound of your first word spoken. It’s the first note of your personal song. If you start out in c sharp, then go to d flat, you influence how every sound coming after that affects you. Set a 2/4 time and notes that carry for a three beat count sound differently…

Yang Minor Arcana
I mean to continue the subject of Tarot, but we will touch on the basics. Are you all familiar with tarot? It’s based on a set of images that in all likelihood go back to late Egypt. It originally was used as a set of playing cards that were quite popular with the Egyptian mercenary…

Yin Minor Arcana
Shall we see the introverted suits in Tarot? The Ace of Pentacles. This symbol represents the nest, home, coins, cowry shells, wampum, gathered food, physical roots. The directions N S E W. Yes. It represents the earth and is connected to the earth element. Ultimately, this suit is the nesting instinct and all the feelings…

Minor Arcana Model of the World
I have a question for you, do we do anything not reflected in the tarot four minor arcana suits (Swords and Staves, Pentacles and Cups)? Each of these suits is reflected by aspects of the human mind, and all suits are reflected to perhaps different degrees in all people, perhaps at different times. The minor…

Major Arcana: Death and Wheel
Now the major arcana. These could be considered the power players in reality, the pervasive forces of the universe. The court cards don’t tell their own stories, and they will stay at home, so to speak, if there is no outside intervention. So shall we begin the major arcana? Perhaps one of the most obvious…
-
Major Arcana: Devil
The devil card. This is the card of confusion and conflict. It is not the card of evil necessarily, as any of the major arcana can reflect some facet of darkness in your life. What are your impressions of this card? Prison. Enslavement. The devil card does represent those things. In fact, there is a…
-
Major Arcana: Temperance and Tower
The temperance card. Ever notice that as dramatic as life can be, everything seems to even out over time? Evening the water in the jugs. An angel pours sometimes from one jug to another. Water is the giver of life, but too much and we drown in it. Well, this card is the reason we…

Major Arcana: The Way Through
Want to see the way through? The events shown in the major arcana happen all the time, repeat all throughout history, but they are not personal. They are transcendent. The chariot. Consider this card. What are your impressions? Royalty. Taking care. Being watchful and ready. Sovereignty. Being captain of your own ship. The chariot looks…
