Essence of Experience
Today, we are talking about blue magick. It’s a strange and little bit complicated topic, but I will do my best. What would you say is the essence of any experience? The emotions involved? Emotion, excellent. You’ve got right to the heart of things. How wide would you say the range of emotional experience is…

Interpretation of Experience
I may suggest some things that seem strange or confusing to begin with, please bear with me and hopefully my ramblings will begin to make sense. So the self, the mystery that it is to be an individual being in a diverse world. As strange and paradoxical as much of human nature may seem, we…

Spectrum of Experience
The remedy for aging / forgetting? It’s attention. Not to information, our old folks have it right there. There is no fix for them in new fangled information. Their instincts told them that. It’s not just prejudice. Their life experience sample is big enough that they know what information does to the body, and yes,…

Experience the Pain
For me, human contact is torture though I crave it. It’s like a self flagellation or some other austerity of the flesh, and at times it leads to a bliss beyond description where I see only light in the presences around me. Does this sound crazy? No. This is accomplished only through feeling, letting hurts…

You Experience You
What things become associated with what other things has nothing to do with those supposedly independent things. There are no independent things. Even you are not an independent thing. What gets associated with the next thing depends on your personal attentional behaviour. Attentional behaviour is also called intention. My attentional behaviour will differ from yours.…

Spiritual Strength in Hypnagogic Experience
Mystics of the past were very often seen as “touched.” Originally described as being touched by the gods or spirits, a term we now sometimes use to describe insanity, and we even say that there is a fine line between genius and insanity, or even none at all. The thing people desire most is also…

Dream Experience
Would you say your dreams are sane or something other than sane? I mean your experiences while asleep and dreaming. I don’t have vivid dreams that often but when I do they are kind of cartoonish. Well, what leads to your dreams are pressures exerted by your waking experience on your conscious mind. This is…

Describing My Experience
Shall I share what inspired me to choose today’s topic of Disease? For the longest while I have been struggling with a question, and it has been circular, frustratingly recursive in my experience of my own strange talents, if you can call them that. I began searching for descriptions of my experience, looking into everything…

Spiritual State
I have experienced a spiritual state. A variety of issues sort of gave me no choice. I used to suffer seizures, irregular theta waves. Those are what make you “unconscious” or at rest, but it wasn’t the sleep cycle. I wasn’t asleep. I was sort of scared, not even aware of my body. I experienced a shift…

Face the World with Cheer
The original meaning of the word cheer, was face, referring to a general attitude of whatever nature. So if you have read much Shakespeare say, you may have read some uses of the word that wouldn’t make sense to the modern thinker, but made complete sense then, and really still does.

Your Reality is the Unknown
Gravitating to the Known. How do you know when you are talking about the unknown? Perhaps another question. How do you feel about the unknown? There is a lot of theorizing. Excellent point.Excited, challenged.Maybe you think of more questions than answers when something is unknown.It’s often more interesting than the known, and the questions are…
