Spin to the World
Let’s go into the written word, specifically things like the runes and talismans. They were written concepts, though in the case of some talismans, the concept was extremely abstract like a depiction of a star constellation for the system of meridians in the human body. We engage in what are called neologisms even today. The…

Wizards vs Shamans
Any specific culture of wizardry you might like to focus on? I’d like to hear, at some point, about modern day wizardry. Well, modern day wizardry would perhaps be its own class, but the Wu-jen of China, the Skalds of Norse culture, and the Aboriginal Song Line Walkers of Australia would all be wizards. Though…

Eros is Passion
Today we are talking about Eros. In English, we have only the one word, love, but in Greek they have four words for love. We will be talking about only one of these. Eros could be described as passionate love. It does have links to sexuality, but isn’t limited to it. May I ask, what…

Messenger Between
Eros in Greek mythology was a messenger between the gods and humanity inspiring more than sexual desire. But Eros did not have the broad scope of perception that the gods had (not actually being a god), and his actions often lead to complications for the mortals involved. Eros unintentionally led some people to pathos or…

Rooted in the Passions
People look at the natural world, the plants and animals, and describe their ways as base, crass, even brutal. They think that art and truth and other aspects of beauty are somehow foreign to the natural world. We have these potentials within us because they stem from a potential that already existed in the world,…

Play Pretend to Find Reality
How many people do you know in your lives who seem very passionate about anything at all? I know many that do. Role playing brings out the passion to create. Do they all create the same things? People that are shy can open up to their hearts more I think. Yes. It becomes safe because it’s…

Invoke Eros
So Eros, what should we do with it? Invoke it? Yes. Centre in it. Live for the love of life itself. But don’t go kissing cops like in that “Love Potion Number 9” song. True, and that itself isn’t Eros. That is just foolishness. Eros without intoxication has wisdom to it. Are there such things as love…

Speak to His Heart
Eros and logos, passion and reason, should be married in the psyche, in the mind. Mind unrooted in passion can justify hideous behaviour as being logical. Passion unconnected to reason lacks any expressive power, and thus loses its transformative potential. The Gorgon is the avatar of the venomous quality of reason. Once bitten by a cold line…

Need for Catharsis
You have Eros for your writing, passionate love, an intimate relationship with it. It is a part of you, no? Yes, it is. One can have Eros for their relationship or for a special class of experience. They can have it for a hobby though those usually need to be freed even more than they…

Your Soul Song
The universe we know, life as we know it, has no single source. It has taken a great many lives lived to arrive at the you we are experiencing today, and these lives aren’t even necessarily “yours.” Ever notice as you go about your day, beneath all of what you think and feel it’s sort…

Risk in Focusing on Past Lives
Ever been to a really big concert? Notice how much both the force of the music and the force of peoples familiarity with the song seemed to rule that space? Like the music replaces all the people present? Well, you couldn’t tell a golden oldie in your greatest spiritual hits collection, a past life, as…

Sing this Life out into Reality
About future lives… The space all of our songs play out in is not like space as we know it. It’s structured in such a way that the far points all occur in the centre, sort of like a torus of time space. The alpha or beginning point and the omega/end point are the same point…

Finding Your Voice
Now what does all this cosmic thinking on past and future lives have to do with life here now? I can ask another question. Have you found your voice yet? It’s something we all have to do if we want to move beyond the garage practice stage of our spiritual existence. In many schools of…

Re-Member Your Soul
Ever wonder why your life circumstances respond to your will at all? Why can you affect anything? Change anything? You can only control yourself, and you are present in all your conditions. You can choose cheeseburgers or hot dogs because a part of your soul is present in the existence of cheeseburgers and hotdogs. Realize…

Each Organism is Linked
I have a question to ask you all. How do you know a path when you are on one? I think you have a sense of purpose. Some people feel lost, but others are not. There is an edge to it. It has a unique scent and the air quality has changed too. All systems…

Unified Flow of Evolution
Why is it that some humans seem to lack the capacity for empathy? Ever fall asleep in your living room with the TV set on? It’s part of the complicated issue of human empathy or lack thereof. Did you notice yourself dreaming about whatever mess was on the TV? I have done that more than…

Advancement of Consciousness
Do animals have their own parallel paths or are they on another part of our path, or both? Animals have their own path, but just as the paths that run across the earth itself have no real distinction from each other, animals paths both parallel and mesh with human paths forming a tapestry. We very…

Animal Consciousness in Us
If a person doesn’t dream, what does that mean? Everyone dreams, but there are states of consciousness more removed from waking process than we normally think of. So the person may be going into a deeper state of consciousness? The deeper you go into consciousness, the further away you get from something that would make…
Category: Light Metaphysics
I will be exploring more specifically the ‘psychic and paranormal’ phenomenon. Perhaps they will help you understand more about yourself. As Derek Acorah is quoted, “Everyone who is born to the Earth has the psychic ability lying dormant.”
Do I have concrete psychic/spiritual experiences? Indeed. I am defined medically as autistic, meaning I’m “self absorbed.” I experience the internal processes first. The neural structure that screens things and slows down sense impression for processing doesn’t work for me. Sensory impressions come to me like abstract input and I interpret stuff “strangely.”
I “order” information in a certain way, and I have no subconscious as others understand it. Dream like imagery is a part of my waking experience, so forms a psycho sensory gestalt. Someone I meet in person, her personal presence her personality and any symbolism, form a fused construct in my mind, and I have a language focus because it provides a framework for cognitive organization. Even incorporating some terms from languages other than my birth tongue.
For myself experience and practice came first.
