Presence in Expression
Why do we want to label our existence? The only truth at this moment is ‘I can’t say I am not. I AM that I am.’ To refuse labels is to label labels. Active opposition is service to the force you deride. Every moment is a new observation. In any moment a new insight can…

Sensing Presence
We probably all know someone who everyone else thinks is crazy, because they think the whole world is haunted. Well, this crazy person is both wrong and right. Everything in nature has the same sort of presence we do, and some of the things we make even develop them. Now is the world swarming with…

Presence In Experience
Responsibility. Are we responsible for anything beyond our direct human connections? I don’t see how we can be. Well, doesn’t that include the cosmos? We do chant for the sun to rise. Our direct connections do include the land we live with, yes, but most people feel ill equipped to see the land as something…

Awaken To Ones Presence
I will summarize “will”. Will is knowing, and there is only one domain of knowing and that is “self”. “Know thyself” comes to mind, another Latin phrase. This was seen as the greatest spiritual endeavour and the highest metaphysical knowledge. Hard to have will without it. Impossible, as having will is just being aware of…

Accepting Presence
What are your thoughts on charity? Well-intended assistance. It can be hard to know what is welcome and what is a burden. Well, it’s nice to give a boost to someone who requests one. It’s a rather complicated topic. It’s harder to receive charity than it is to give it. I would disagree. People give…

Presence Of Life IMHO
We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities … still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin. Charles Darwin Why People Are Like That Today: People are entranced by their “issues”. The events of what they call real life seem to be…

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…

Accept the Presence of Night and Day
In the beginning was darkness, and in the fullness of time there came to be both a night and day, and this was necessary, good for the well-being of all life. These elements of natural order haven’t changed and will not, but when humans come to accept the presence of the dark as well as…

Dragon Presence
We aren’t confined to the hand-me down debased vestiges of dragon magick. Recall I said that all earths share the same astral space? And if you accept that matter can be conscious in this state that we know, and that matter has other states which even our physics is discovering is more and more broadly…

Grow in Your Sense of Presence
How would we use the Othila rune? If you would seek to grow in your sense of presence, commitment and investment in relationships and missions you undertake, marking and bearing this rune can serve to remind you of that. Meditation on this rune can strengthen the virtue of devotion, perhaps even piety if you value…

Realize the Presence of the Semantic
Let’s take the normal thinking and see what it does to semantic memory. Your frontal lobe generates the same sort of signals your senses do, and your semantic memory registers those at the same time it has to process your sensory experience itself. It has to produce one coherent memory, otherwise it would cease being…
