Spirit Experiences
During a guided meditation I started feeling like I was going to faint and had to put my head down. It happened every time the teacher did that meditation. I just wondered what was going on? Ok. What was the meditation? She said something about the energy coming through. Any specific energy? It was going…

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…

Satyrs: Beyond Imagination
To start, what do we already understand about satyrs? They are horny. Goat legs and horns. They chase and seduce nymphs. The unknown, a level of human consciousness that has proven all pervasive throughout history, contact between cultures, especially those first contact moments, were often filled with misunderstanding evidenced by the example of the first…

Culture of the Satyrs
The culture of the satyrs could be expressed as a spirit, one that would have seemed foreign and strange to the native Greeks as Dionysus was to begin with, also. The concept of patron deities to the city states would not be so strange if you think about it. Do our cities not even now…

Satyrs: Emerged into Mythos
The Roman strigoi and Greek maenads might have been heavily influenced by the satyr people, to the point of imagery such as the thyrsus being present. The thyrsus is an older version of the rod of Aesculapius. Aesculapius himself having been said to have been tutored by the satyr/centaur chiron. The Norsemen were big horsemen were…

Today’s Mythos
Today the mythos is molecules. Today we are talking about satyrs, but actually the atomic model is relevant in a way here. As we discover more and more, the millennia old myth of atoms is being called into question. With the discoveries of the large hadron collider, the model they were relying on to understand…

Spirit of the Satyrs
The spirit of the satyrs is very far from gone. Many still feel the call of the wild and display the gifts Pan was said to provide; animal communication, wild foresight, instinctive intuition, even simple will to live which is not a common trait these days. Pan has been inviting us to dance to the…
Category: Spirits
Spirits are not the spooky things we hear about. You sense them daily and the world itself is spirit. 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.
The guardians are keepers of a world that is entirely in order. Some of the facets of life we feel positive about and uplifted by, others we fear and seek to avoid. If there were any conflict among the guardians then there would be strong fluctuations in those events we consider good and those we consider bad, and my experience is there is no such thing. They all keep the balance.
