Our Connection to Place
If we saw our own connection to our place, even as we move from place to place in a solidly experiential way, that might change things. Realizing that everything is you and you are everything. Part of sense of place is that realization. You can’t say self knowledge is complete without it, and the relationship…

Psychic Connection to Dreaming
We remember dreams with the ‘primary’ psychic method. So this is a way to know what is primary for you. It is often why we complain we can’t remember dreams. We have heard dreams described as vivid images, so it makes everyone think that is what they should be able to recall or relate, and…

Connection and Pattern
Is karma just incidental? No. It is a principle of interconnectivity, not unlike gravity in space. Our spirits have a gravity, and it can attract good things like the light of the sun, or bad things like comets. Our spirit or energy isn’t a constant. It can’t really be. We are organic creatures and sort…

Healing Connection
Perhaps less philosophical is therapeutic touch. Therapeutic touch has been found to reduce the nervous defence response. This is the biggest part of its healing benefit. They have done extensive studies on a phenomenon called biophilia. We inherently are comforted by life. Even loud noisy life, wild life, and more than life in general, we have the…

Connection with Elemental Symbolism
Elementals is probably the most primal system of symbols we have. Even sciences four states of matter seem to parallel it. When we reduce events in our lives, and in nature, they can often be expressed in an elemental metaphor; fiery temper, airy thought, down to earth. Even the glyphic and numerological systems have their root…

Connection with a Familiar
The Kami is one kind of familiar spirit. They do form bonds with humans as is evident in Japanese legend. The Kami are a sort of elemental spirit, but rather evolved. They tend to draw their energy from plants and want them to thrive. They also tend to like children, as do fairies, and this…

Ritual Connection
Obstacles cease to be obstacles and become simply a part of the terrain as we become more aware. You won’t bemoan the wall when you see the door, and often times especially in the case of sculptors they say they don’t know what they are going to shape until they do. Is there not an…

Powerful Connection
Intimacy is a vital force in life. The willingness to embrace your newborn child. The willingness to open your home to an elder in need. There is something beyond “moral code”, and to my belief a moral code alone is insufficient to allow right action to endure. We have the capacity for powerful and lasting…
-
Embody Connection
One more aspect of the avatar phenomenon, the Archmagus, or whatever other term is used by the tradition in question. An Archmagus is someone who has collected and embodied all their spiritual metaphysical connections. Meaning all that influences them transforms their nature. They come to be living embodiments of the great force by whatever name…

Emotion Is Connection
Emotion is not as straightforward as it might seem, and you hear a lot of “common sense” talk downplaying emotion. Emotions is the internal awareness that keeps us informed of our state of being. Emotion = connections. No connections would mean no emotions. In fact, emotion has a lot of depth not only in feedback…

Attachment vs. Connection
Who is free of all attachments? I am not free of connections, but in your thinking, I am free of attachments. I officially have no role. My life is very humble. It is not bad. I do not suffer from these facts. When I suffer is when I think that these attachments, these roles, define…
-
Depth And Breadth Of Connection
I cannot begin to describe the depth and breadth of the connections that are present in our consciousness. The limitless generosity shown us by the Chaos/Great Mother/God, call it what you will. But one has to be whole before one can be more than whole, and when you begin down the path of the “more…

Accept Connection
Those who will accept no connection will show power with nothing. Those who will embrace no definitions will recognize the worth of no other thing and fail to recognize what any other person has to offer. “Know yourself.” Yes, and in knowing yourself you will know others as well, and possibly better than they know…
-
System of Connection and Orientation
Your mood is not just an expression of your internal state. It’s also a system of connection and orientation in your environment. The relatively new science of neuro-sociology is discovering many amazing things, and some very useful conclusions can be drawn from what they are learning. You can trace your “location” in any social network…

Human Connection
Let’s throw a little science into this picture. They used to think the concepts that they now call attachment were superficial and unsupported sentiment. They used to think that these relationships were almost strictly biomechanical. The infant bonds to mommy because mommy has milk, bonds to care givers because they are dependent on care givers…
-
Patterns of Connection
We all express and develop a pattern of connection like a spiritual web and just as webs can vary in their appearance and even function, so can styles of connection. We filter really all of our experience through these, some more stable, some less, some clear, some heavily mixed up, though perhaps no absolute model…
-
Connection with Goetic Spirits
The Goetic spirits exist under heaven alongside our kind. They consider the cosmos and the meaning of life much as we do. Humans saw them as intermediary beings because often their patterns of thought and symbolism strike humans as unimaginable, strange or complex, mysterious. Yet they exist in our imaginations? It could be argued we…

The Love of a Mother, The Connection of a Twin by Ken Myers
When I was child my mother told me about the day when I was born. I am going to share this story with you. The day that my mother was going to give birth to me she was in the river washing the family clothes. For that time there no washer machine in my house.…
