First Karma
Where does the first karma come from to get the whole karmic ball rolling? The first karma comes from a state of existence that permeates all others. The ground of being. It serves as a sort of infrastructure for all of creation, though it isn’t quite as empty and featureless as some authorities would describe…

First Sexuality
Why is it we can be open with a lover, but not with a parent? I have learned not to tell my Mom anything. Actually, that’s simple. It is one of the dark truths I don’t talk much on, because people get really inflamed. Are you familiar with Freud or Jung? They both sort of…

Soul First
There is a lot of concern with free will. This is why many shun the concept of unity. We do have free will, or intention, also called choice, but we misunderstand that capacity. We err in our understanding of those choices. Whenever you chose one thing, you at the same time exclude another choice. This…

The First Lie
Whatever allows our “meat machine” bodies to form in any sort of ordered way, had to be present before the formation of such bodies, and has to have remained for new instances of these bodies to occur. If it were subject to decay, then it could not endure long enough for humanity to actually proliferate,…

First Beings
If you would, imagine a being that exists in a state of pure potential energy, non-local, not collapsed and mostly non-dissonant. Like a star? Yes. That would fit. What would we call this being? Ra. God. Omni present. Yes, among other things. Now, I say mostly non-dissonant. That is an important point. Mostly in agreement…

Experience First
Why is it so difficult for some of us to find others we have a natural connection with? I can speak of my case, and maybe that will answer your question. I actually long for a sense of being in touch. You get that when you can ask someone, “Did you see that?”, and they…

First Celebrations
The first celebrations were ceremonies inspired by mans experience of nature. The idea of a party as we know it today would have seemed strange, pointless even. There is still a culture in Africa to this day that lives much as prehistoric man must have, and after efforts were made to explain the concept of…

Trust Is First
Friendship. A relatively recent study in the States shows that 1 in 4 people state they have no close friendships. You would think that friendship would be a clear thing and perhaps one of the simplest parts of human experience, but is it? It gets over analysed a lot. People have a lot of insecurities,…

First Delusion Of Thought
We have some horrible delusions. They create some serious malfunctions, both in our coping skills and our biological processes, as you cannot actually separate these two things. They are one and the same dynamic. The first delusion is the privileged position of what we are calling thought. The unfocused tendency to try to force our…

The First Bullshit Detector
Perhaps an interesting related point on spiritual and psychic health. The left hemisphere of the brain cannot tell the difference between facts and convincing ideas. If an idea is logically cognisant, the left brain automatically believes it. This is why the root chakra seems to be so indiscriminating, and why many men revert to that…

People First
I read somewhere that people like us because of our faults. They make us interesting. Yes. They have done studies both of artificially targeted brain damage and the symptoms of specific neurological illnesses and forms of brain damage. There are portions of the brain that if they are damaged don’t seem to impair the persons…

Force Of First Cause
Magick is the esoteric component of any activity. There have been magickal practices involved in fishing, hunting, building, you name it. If it’s old enough, it has a magick connected to it, and there are even some new magics. Today, we are talking about one of the oldest systems on the planet. No body knows…

First Home
There is a place beyond even the ancients. The place of first creation, first home, deep home. It has a few names, but it is often mentioned in every creation myth, and it’s empty. It is also called the throne of God, the light over the waters, the primal egg, but yes, it is empty.…

First Symptom of Decay
Have you ever learned something without trying? In Taoism, they say that whenever you encounter resistance in something it’s because you aren’t working with its path. You aren’t working with the reality of what it is. When we are trying, are we ever anything other than bored? Most people give up trying. Which is the…
-
Personal Presence First
Where do we find the experience of self? Personally, only within. Experience is what I see mirrored to me in others. I think in ourselves, and in our interactions with others. When we explore our inner nature, do we discover an alien being? Alien as in foreign? My point is that you find the truest…

First and Foremost a Person
What would the world be like if there were no roles? No rich or poor? No holy or profane? Everyone living with every ugly little detail out for all to see? Burdens are lifted when all is revealed? When all is revealed then we know what we have to work with. How well do you…

First Cities Were Sacred
We get the word civic from the same source as the work civil. Civic, civil, city are words sharing the same broad domain of meaning. They used to speculate that cities may have arisen for economic reasons, and this notion served the one percent quite well. It’s actually not true though, and in fact, if…
