Foundation of Awareness
Personality types reveal more than they would seem to. What makes our personality real? Is it really nothing more than conditioning and arbitrarily selected views? We don’t have uniform instincts across the human spectrum do we? I mean, when people are pushed past reason do they all act the same way? When you are pushed…

Greater Awareness
Courage is not a well understood factor of life, but we do experience it anyway. It’s a pretty important part of life, so it might profit us to understand it. Courage is often seen in negative definition only, and that tends to distort it. This is courage as it relates to fear, but every person we call…

Innocence in Awareness
You know the healing power of a baby!? It is big! Yes. Babies are examples of human nature in its pure form. Taoism says this. Buddhism says this though less bluntly. Many of the pagan faiths have the divine child symbolism which was also taken up by Christianity, and many see the “Christ child” as…

Body Awareness
The bodies awareness is not a source of evil. It’s the disconnect that is. Most people are actually very little present in their body, so food, sex, music, they are only half experienced, and people often seem very self absorbed. This is attributed to gratifying the body for some reason. Anyone have an idea why?…

Dynamic Awareness
If you are afloat on a river in an inner tube, it’s an absolute certainty you will go down river. Yes, you might be able to get out in a rough spot. You might be able to make a huge painful effort and force your will on the situation, but is that necessary? And are…

Awareness Is Reality
Human thought is a contagious disease, and some people are an “immune” system. Those who are the immune system to dysfunctional thought patterns are like, “umm, that’s not quite right.” They point out the errors and seek to destroy them? Illustrate why they can’t be lived. How do we “disarm” the dysfunctional patterns? Take our…

Let It Get To You
If the see-er is the seeing, why see at all since it keeps you inside your mind? It doesn’t keep you inside your personal mind. It makes you present to the universal mind. It has nothing to do with the personal mind. Just as plants come from the soil, individual mind arises from a base…

Feeling Awareness
We have, at our core, a “feeling” level of awareness. We can own and direct our feelings instead of being owned by them and directed by anyone who manipulates our feelings. Emotion and feeling are not the same experience. Emotions are patterns of response, learned reactive behaviours that were based on a conclusion about our…

Awareness Runs Deeper
The topic is feeling as it relates to spirituality. Feeling serves as the baseline of our conscious awareness. Even old theories of brain function have been overturned in favour of newer discoveries. One being the constant activity of what they are calling the default mode network. Regions of the brain that keep constantly functioning without…

Experience Of Self Awareness
Signs of self. First, we must clarify how one can be aware of self. Self awareness is not the same as thinking. The thinking will go on all by its own, a chain of cause and effect, stimulus and response. Where is the self in this? I’d say nowhere. If it was, people wouldn’t have…

What Is Self Awareness?
Self awareness. What is it? How do we know something is self aware? It is our natural state. It is? Take notice of self, look at it, feel it. Can you take notice of something that cannot be defined apart from other things? Yes. Interesting. How so? You have already given it definition by noticing…

Bring Forth Into Awareness
What is celebration? To mark the significance of. However, that is also done at a funeral. Celebrating a persons life. This is true. I see a funeral as a final birthday, which is actually a common attitude in animist cultures like those that follow voodoo. Seen one way, a funeral is just the culmination of…
-
Shared Awareness
Is there a common ground to humanity? The planet is the common ground. Survival? Survival is no longer a common ground. The harmony of nature has grown to be too altered. The coherent context that the planet once provided has lost much of its original character. It’s not dead, but it is changed and changing.…

Big Picture Awareness
Today, we are discussing the sacral or second chakra. Whereas the first is everything primitive and impulsive and alive, the second is the level at which our more complicated perceptions are formed. The enteric nerve plexus (that centers more or less around the stomach and intestines) is almost as sophisticated as the brain. The cardiac…
-
Action Awareness
On the level of your gut, you have the primal memory of every sensory experience you have ever had, without embellishment so without delusion. This is why the second chakra can’t be lied to. It doesn’t track ideas about what it senses from people and places. I’d like to be able to share with out…

Powerful Awareness
This is the third in a series of psychic health classes. We are talking about the solar plexus chakra, and how it affects consciousness and our lives. Tantien/piko? It is one of the Hawaii “chakra”. Yes, exactly that. It does correspond to the belly button. The sacral chakra is below that. As we spoke of…
-
Vital Awareness
Is my imagination really my imagination, or am I perceiving something that already exists? You are perceiving something that already exists, but you achieve a state of being by self knowledge. It’s like proprioceptive feedback. You know where your arms are by the tension you feel when you stretch them or when they bear weight.…

Awareness Is Available
I think knowing about our internal conflicts will really be helpful. They do show up externally in automatic behaviours. Don’t dismiss your accidents. Many of them are not accidental. Thinking of them as different entities and listening to them rather than ignoring the one I’m not following. I do that myself and find that it helps. But…
