You’re in a Trance
First point, and perhaps the most fundamental point tonight. You are in a trance. How do you feel about that? A bit nervous. You are in a trance and even recent research backs that up. In your day to day waking consciousness, your visual scanning pattern (rather than being drawn by actual physical stimuli) follows…

Trance Work
There are many methods of doing what most people call inducing a trance. In fact, when you induce a trance what you are in truth doing is breaking your default trance. All trance work methods involve holding the attention still, stopping the swinging pendulum of attention from keeping it in the dream of “real life.”…

Music of Life
Are all battles really battles? Could they be dances? They are dances, because ultimately it’s all music. The mind functions like music. Science is discovering this more and more, and the line between human music and say animal music, is a blurry territory at best. You start out with a slow tempo trance, delta wave…

Playing Out It’s Song
So you have natural trances and social trances. There are also abstract trances and artificial trances. I was wondering about “past life” trances. Ah, those border between the domain of abstract trance and social trance. They aren’t rigidly separated from each other. But to clarify the abstract trance, there is a range of awareness that…

Trance Induction
Now the method of trance induction actually does matter, and your favourite trance induction method will shape every other experience you have. If you favour Buddhist meditation techniques, everything will look Buddhist. If you favour dancing to techno music under whirling laser light, everything will look like a “rave.” We see the world as we are, not as it is? Exactly.…

Shifting in Reality
I feel a twinge in my belly when I get writers block. I feel my trance is not working for me but if I just start I could loosen the blockage. Forcing comes from the trance. It keeps the trance in place. It’s the idea that an activity must be done in a specific way,…

Unlock Your Reality
Some use narcotics to get their trance. Do they really help or do they do more harm than good? They do more harm than good, and they don’t provide any new energy to your trance, normally. Like some cultures will breath in some smokey stuff. Ah, entheogens, they are a crutch. I have considered that…

Patterns Show Up
What color is Tuesday? Tuesday is white, Monday blue. It’s actually irrelevant. I have a lot of associations that are just noise. They are noise even to me in that they form only the fringe of other patterns, but my brain forms patterns in sensation and thoughts and emotions and memories that are maybe atypical.…

Thought Processes
I have horrible news for you friends. You are all rational people. It’s true, and inescapable. Our minds naturally rationalize, everyone’s. For everything we experience in a day, our mind seeks a causal connection between it and other events, and if it can’t find one readily, it will make one up. A great deal of…

Streams of Consciousness
The right/left brain model as its commonly discussed these days is not entirely accurate, but there are parts of it that are more or less true. You have two streams of consciousness going on all the time. The bottom up or sensory to thought path, and the top down or thought to bodily action path.…

Conflict Between Thought and Intuition
You can easily experience the conflict between intuition and normal thought for yourself. Between both extremes you have the thalamus. The amygdala begins to show the split, but beneath that you have what has been called the “reptile brain“, and the conflict between your conscious thought and your intuition registers here as physical sensations and…

The Intuitive Mind
Isn’t imagination important? Imagination is indeed important, vital even. In my classes I often try to describe things in as bottom line a way as possible. That way anyone can relate to it. So the intuitive mind has a number of ‘modules’ or entities walking around interacting and building a world view like blocks of…

Universe Expressing Form
Today, we are talking about something called morphic resonance. Morphic, referring to form. Resonance, referring to waves or influence. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Egg. A collection of goo? Indeed, the egg, and the process of complex things taking form from simple things has been going on for a long time. Perhaps…

Interacting Fields
You may have heard about the new findings they have been discovering regarding DNA. They have discovered that DNA can be artificially created, and it doesn’t necessarily have to include the chemicals we have in our DNA. This fake DNA even shows behaviour like ours displays, reproduction and evolution. Think of plastic DNA, as this…

Form Follows Intention
But form is not all genetics, is it? No, it’s not all genetics. Ever hear the phrase, form follows function? Well, form actually follows intention. The reason we develop stress related illness so easily, to the point now that they are the worlds biggest killer, is because form follows intention, and we compose our intentions…

New Forms Arise
Now shall we discuss art? Everywhere is art. New forms arise in one of two ways, communication or realization. Realization is like birth. A new form arises from the nature of the originating source. In the case of being human, realization arises through contact with other beings and the events that are just simply the…

Life As Energy
You think you experience life in a chain of “events” no? And these events seem very complicated and multi-faceted; leading to consequences we can even track very well. It’s actually not that complicated. Yet sometimes there are unrelated and surprising occurrences, paths crossing, apparitions, and sudden new elements. There are no events. You have never actually…

Relationship Between Knowledge and Ability
There is a popular saying, knowledge is power, but why do we believe this? Does knowing something really change our ability to act in the world directly? DO we believe it? I would offer that you likely do believe it. There are a good many spoken beliefs that people arrive at naturally. Perhaps another tack,…
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.
