What is Nature?
Today’s subject of Nature is sort of an extension of the previous class on reading from the book of nature. I will focus more on the meaning behind it all and what it might mean if one strengthened their ability to do this. I will start first though with an important question, as a philosophical…

Force Behind Emergence
The reason there is so much diversity in life is that the primary energy or force behind the process of emergence contains more patterns of expression than can be expressed in any single instance. Life functioning as a vast multi-organism, each life form behaving as a part of something perhaps unimaginably complex. The universe is a big…

Spirit is Emergence
Shall we bring this back down to earth? The process I describe on the cosmic level plays out on earth, although in miniature. Our earth behaves like a germ or seed cell of the larger process. The threads of the cosmos play out in a select pattern allowing life to manifest specifically here in this…

Spirit Storm
The behaviour of the spirit plays out in our world like a storm over the sea. The spirit moves in waves or storm fronts over our world, touching on each and every thing, and manifesting differently in outcomes perhaps much the same as a physical storm has different outcomes for different creatures. This spirit storm…

Infect Reality
The stream or thread of spirit activity in the earth is coherent and intelligible. It can be read in bird and whale song, in plate tectonic shifts, in lightning storm activity. Such coherence makes science possible. Exactly. Why it seems to defy human notions of morality is that it doesn’t function on the level of…

What is Illusion?
I will begin by asking, what is illusion? It’s used in rituals. Is paradox an example of illusion? Escher’s work, it seems to me, is mostly paradoxical. Oh, indeed. It is a deep, even pivotal element of illusion. Something that appears one way but is another. Escher did a lot of illusion. Stairs going up,…

Pattern of Attention
We all assemble a picture of our world by the sweep of our centre of attention across our environment. We’re all socialized (programmed) in much the same way. Well, your organs actually program your brain. The eyes stake out a part of your brain for all their activity, the ears do the same, as does every other…

Staying in Touch with Reality
The pattern of perception, the basis by which we engage in the experience we call perception or life… We go from one sensation to another, one intention to another, and we become so entrained in this pattern that we lose the sense of it as a process. We lose the sense of motion and even…

Informational Flow
Attention is the record player and the needle, and the record itself is the hologram of existence that presents itself to our possible attention, a vast field of information that our attention drags over through the course of our day. Now we do have free will? We are the hand that governs that needle on…
-
Controlled Perceptual Shift
Why is it so hard to change what we pay attention to? Because you perceive identity in your attention pattern. You recognize self not in what you are, but in what you perceive. So any change feels like death of self. Reality is much fuller in dimension and depth than any single track can make…

We Imprint on the Dream
Tonight we are talking about the oneiroi. The basic premise I operate under is that a spirit arises whenever sufficient awareness focuses and gives rise to what is at least a semi-independent entity, and I also offer that spirits occurred before human consciousness as we know it arose. Everyone heard about how biological cycles can…

Shared Dream Signal
Ever either hold a fish out in the air or watch someone else do so? Though they produce no sound we can hear, and hardly any body language we can compare to our own, a distress spike is a distress spike. You can feel the fishes distress. So visualize a broad screen with me if…

New Minds
Can we all accept that a new life can stem from our own life? From our own bodies? Well likewise, new minds can stem from our minds, and take on qualities that we never originally imparted to them because they touch on the minds of other beings. You are not the only person who has…

Oneiroi Spirits: Part 1
Perhaps we should discuss some specific oneiroi? There is Grandfather Chronos, manifests as a lean haggard old male, and he’s a bit of a cannibal. When he shows up you always have a sense he has taken something, that your sense of personal identity is a bit more fuzzy around the edges. This sound familiar…

Oneiroi Spirits: Part 2
Is one of the spirits a hooded figure? Actually, there are a number of hooded figures amongst the oneiroi. Color of the hood? All black, no gender, speechless. Morpheus. Stands over me menacing. Deals with self-image issues. When he takes an interest you become hyper aware of your own sense of identity and how your habits may…

Oneiroi In Dreams
Now dreams, they are actually holographic. This is why the oneiroi often show up to us as such strange characters, even abstract forms. People do things like fall from tall places in dreams because part of their mind understands that is a space they could enter. Most likely they were even asked to enter, but…

Muses
What about an Aztec looking figure of a man in a big headdress? Ancestor. Black feet? I don’t remember, just that he was small and the headdress was very large. Ah yes, he feel almost mindlessly aggressive? Even though he didn’t really threaten you? He was sitting on my head. I took the headdress off…

Morpheus
When Morpheus gets to be all broody, as he does from time to time, he leaves marks, often strangely intense human faces. Find you react intensely to subtle facial expressions? Yes. He also leaves a sort of floor plan in one’s mind. Feel like you are often stuck in a large house or museum like…
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.
