Between State
Stuck in the physical…. You don’t know how good you have it. You can be stuck between, now that sucks. You can’t fully engage anything so it forces you to improvise. Stuck between alive and dead? That is a coma? Yes, and no. Coma is closer to dead, just on the threshold of free. I…

Space Between
If I can also imagine sensory stimuli, then what isn’t imagination? What needs clarifying is what is imagination. There are principles that present themselves to the imagination, but imagination itself is not a derivative phenomenon. It is the “fifth element”. Imagine if the four elements had no distinctions between them. If there was no way…

Between Thinking And Being
Is there a discordance between “sense” and situation? There is, yes. Situation is an opinion, a rigid pattern, a shell. Sense is music. Consider a loved one. If you try to understand them, what do you understand? What I can sense from them? Can you sense and try to understand? You understand what you perceive?…

World Between
I would like to hear more about facing yourself, and I’m thinking about what I’ve read and heard about the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Bardo. They are sort of like theurgic necromancy, though there are non-theurgic types as well. Perhaps one of the most fearful aspects of the dark side is the…

Dwellers Between
Is a jinn an entity or an energy field? Entity that lives in an energy field. A quantum domain if you will. The dwellers between. The Assyrians even called them that. The lurkers on the threshold. Does a jinn actually grant wishes? They could, but often they would just want to kill people, and from…

Immigration Between Planes
The topic is exorcism. I won’t be focusing on the practices of any particular faith, but rather the principles that run all throughout world cultures and lore regarding exorcism and the circumstances around it. The practice of exorcism, in most cultures, assumes the native presence of spirits in the world itself. Whether these spirits are…

No Separation Between States
We are talking about the ghostly realm. It’s commonly talked about, but perhaps without much clarity. Maybe we can add some. Some think of the ghostly realm as some plane of existence removed from our location in real space, sort of like an alien planet or something. But space has more depth to it than…

Shadowy State Between Living and Spirit
The undead state has two boundaries rather than just one. It’s a shadowy state between the living world and the spirit world proper, sort of like walking in one of those old monastic cloisters. In fact, this is part of why old monasteries tend to stay haunted for so long. It’s a comparable state of…

Messenger Between
Eros in Greek mythology was a messenger between the gods and humanity inspiring more than sexual desire. But Eros did not have the broad scope of perception that the gods had (not actually being a god), and his actions often lead to complications for the mortals involved. Eros unintentionally led some people to pathos or…

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…

Split Between Art and Religion
More than a few of the world cultures have no word for religion. They actually use their word for law, and community cohesion revolved around the insights held by the priests. In some cultures artists and priests were allies where the spirit behind the cultures law nurtured the spirit of the artist. Then they sought…

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,…

Line Between Sacred and Profane Arts
Today’s subject is not just about general mania, and mania isn’t as dramatic or obvious as people might think. There is a condition medical types refer to as hypomania. The person is generally very much in control of themselves, just very focused and ambitious with intense emotional states cropping up, but again no loss of…

Schism Between Science and Metaphysics
Is everyone familiar with what metaphysics is? The why? It’s the branch of philosophy that focuses specifically on the concepts we use to understand reality itself, rather than what might be the best way to do something. Science was originally classified as a philosophy, in my opinion it still is, but many object to the…

Hyperspace Between the Circles
If all our circles are intersecting with each other, would it be logical to say circles seek other circles for awareness/experience? It would. This is why ceremonial magicians of the west think of the circles as giving them the ability to command the spirits. It doesn’t actually do that. It just sets the scene for…
-
Space Between Experience and Self
How often do we have the experience of being absent minded when we are just sitting? While just sitting, we forget who we are? Or where we are? Daydreaming. And what do daydreams consist of? Experience? Memories, imagination, images. Are they directed by the patterns of our experience? Show any real relation to our sense or…

Conflict Between Science and Religion
There is a notion held in common these days by many people, that there is somehow a conflict between science and religion. I would acknowledge that currently there is social tension between avowed atheists and members of any religion, even if the religion espouses no real dogma to be opposed to as is the case…

Space Between Dimensional Pockets
In the space between these dimensional pockets, you have the seventh dimension. It’s a medium that is superficially apparent in the fifth, and surrounds the sixth like an atmosphere. Just as we can look up and see the night sky but exist in a relatively closed environment, an ecosystem, outer space doesn’t directly affect us…
