Shift in the Sense of Self
When I fall off to sleep sometimes, I will see an item like a horse or house, etc. I see it normal size then it will shrink till it’s micro size, but I can still see it. Then it will grow in size till it is so huge it over takes all sight. Does that…

Different Patterns of Connection to Animals
To get down to the practical point of tonight’s topic of Animal Paths… Though we all contain the potential for any animal consciousness, like our neurons wiring together in different ways, we have a different pattern of connection to other animals. Some are stronger than others. I once had a dream that I was walking…

Our Genetic Makeup is Memory
I am just wondering about how intent and willpower could affect physical change on the genetic level? Good question. How can you arrive at an intent? Can you intend to do something that has nothing to do with reality? Every bit of language, every bit of visual symbolism, every memory trace is shaped by reality,…

What is Sacred?
I will start with a question. What is sacred? Burial grounds? Something no one else can question when it’s someone else’s sacred thing. It’s something of high value. Something that is beyond reproach. Something held in awe. Is anything actually sacred? Objectively sacred, I don’t think so. Sacred to one is common to another. It…

Recognize Common Culture
It has been discovered experimentally that even normal life maintenance will be put aside in extreme cases due to lack of meaningful interaction. The young will begin starving themselves. Mature adults will either refuse to defend themselves or engage in seemingly mindless violence. Why is this? Nothing to stimulate the social animal. We need to…

The Real Tie
Can you be paid in the sacred? If you can own it, can it be sacred? If I gave you a church, would it remain sacred? If I sold you communal wafers and wine, would they remain sacred? Would sold communion materials stay sacred? Anything that can become ours loses its sacredness, doesn’t it seem…

Sacred Creation
On sacred creation, light relics… Every time we cast our minds onto the contemplation of the great mysteries, despite all the personal noise that gets mixed up in that, the ideas that do nothing more than satisfy our personal prejudices and preferences, something else always creeps in. As a favourite song of mine puts it,…

Universal Recognition
People believe they have to have something to believe in. So how is it we have made so many things to believe in but there is so much overlap? Is any faith on the planet so unique that it has nothing in common with any other? Carl Jung commented on this. He noticed, as do…

Modern Wizardry
Today we are talking about modern wizardry, but people wouldn’t recognize it as wizardry at first glance. What we know as science got its origin from the practices of ancient wizardry, and though it has made every attempt to eschew the subjective aspects of the previous disciplines, it seems this is ultimately impossible. What do…

Missing from the Scientific Community
Most scientists couldn’t lay genuine claim to any measure of the wisdom one might associate with the ancient wizards. Like the ancient priest divining the will of their deity from the guts of a ritual sacrifice, they tear apart the flesh of the living world and claim they can divine “reality” from it. What reality…

Examination of the Material World
The topic of Metascience is not meant to be an anti-science rant. I personally am not against the study or practice of science. When science was still a branch of philosophy, it was undertaken to give humanity more insight into the world, more ability to understand and thus adapt to how nature works. There is…

Aware You’re Awake
Book of Nature. This is going to be a bit more ambitious a topic than I usually attempt. We tend to take our perception of the world and the people in it for granted. We are pretty confident that we see what we see and hear what we hear, and we don’t really bother to…

Before Speech
How do you know you are about to speak? A sense of an internal anticipation. A force of sorts. You formulate an idea or communication and decide to verbalize it, all in a split second. Usually the words are mental first. Your intention to speak starts before you begin to anticipate expressing any of your…

It’s All Music
If you just listen to sounds in the environment, you won’t be able to make sense of the information being exchanged around you. Again human thinking gets in the way. You think everything you hear is “just sound”, but every sound you hear from every other organism is structured in the same way any sound…

Every Event is Cooperative
The elements themselves speak. Besides recording the energy impressed on them by passing events, the energies they embody and express, impress themselves on the “living” things around you. Light shaped the eye, eyes don’t shape light. Sound shaped the ear, your ear is the mouth of the sky. The elements run all around you and…

Nature Responds to You
This book of nature is kind of like a DIY manual? It is indeed. More stuff for men to think they know everything about and not read instructions for. Indeed. That is what humans have been doing so far, but fortunately things shift anyway. The human will, as irritating as it is, is not as…
