Process of Faith
The word promise is abused and overused. The only true promise is merely a recognition of what is already a spiritual reality and an affirmation of it. You promise, and believe what you already know? Yes, and promises can be real. Example; If you are traveling along a trail that is dependant on a bridge…

Process Of Desire
Why do we have problems? Seems sort of mysterious, huh? I want the wrong things or I don’t know what I want? You don’t know what you want. True will, actual desire, the real substance of the human mind, is buried beneath peoples “perception.” They do not see. They say “I see.” Their eye sees…

Possession Process
The topic is obsession, but I often start with an overstated but related state, and then work to the subtle. So I will open with a discussion of possession. Possession is more common than people think, but often mistaken. The movies show a body snatcher breaking the body of the host, but this is not…

Process Of Obsession
Your energy is more than just the psychic processes you call thought. Your thought is often full of a photo-negative like artefact that mirrors a metaphysical force in your environment. It’s not inaccurate so much as just an indirect reflection, like koi seen in pond water. Obsession is like weather wearing down a building. Ruts and…

Process Of Bouncing Back
Today, we are going to talk about resilience. You can’t talk about resilience though, friends, without talking about why the topic matters. Why resilience is important is something we all have a relationship to. Stress, darkness, delusion, call it what you will, this affects us all. So we all suffer both psychologically and physically. Each…

Process Of Origination
I find it helpful when discussing these things to start by asking for other peoples definitions of the topic. So, what my friends is causality? That which causes something? The “thing” that drives an event? Variables. A condition for something to happen. One event leads to another? One thing in the secular world influences another……

Process Of Development
At each of the stages in Kabbalah, God is considered to have reflected on that stage of it’s expression. I use the gender neutral term because God is seen as both male and female, and this step of considering what it discovered gives rise to lower intelligences we have come to know as angelic powers.…

Narrative as a Process for Growth
Today’s topic is relating. We all experience the world through a filter of our own internal language. Our memory of experience “enhances” all current experience, and we are caught up in an internal dialogue between me myself and I, as they say. Is that your conscience? It is part of it, yes. Even current research…

Decision Making Process
Shall we discuss the decision making process itself? You have three streams of data coming to you at all times. We perceive the need to make a decision when there is some degree of disagreement between these three streams of data. The primary stream is personal, emotional messages like I feel ok, or I feel…

Totem Hunt Process
I can use a leaf animal totem pool as an example of the totem hunt process. First clear your mind, relax, get into a listening state, and then sit your avatar on the leaf. Animal Vision Quest welcomes you to your vision quest. Animal Vision Quest: whispers: Calm your mind, and concentrate on the pool,…

Consciousness is the Creative Process
To use a metaphor, the primordial ooze lay dreaming, and in its dreaming its sensitivity, to the same chemical exchanges that still play out in our bodies, gave rise to patterns of recognition. The process by which a chemical is recognized by a receptor… How does that differ from our own recognition of the sight…

Process Leading to Empiricism
Shall we begin the critique? I had a hard time keeping away from it. We see in the history of empiricism the same human drama that played out in previous religious conflicts, the notion that a greater ideal or noble truth is being neglected or even profaned by the attitude or disposition of those who…

Mirroring Process in Human Cognition
Let’s look at the most primal model. Humanity is by no means the biggest, strongest or fastest species on the planet. Is this fair to say? Physical body — surely not. And yet not only did we survive, we became the dominant species and the most feared. There is a reason for this. The force…

Respecting Process
Today’s rune is jera, pronounced yerah, and it is the sign for the complete procession of the seasons. It is also considered symbolic of the harvest. The wisdom it has to offer is not one that people are generally receptive of in today’s world. They say that everything works out for the best in the…

Process in the World
I joke with my wife when we are in the mall. They play a Christmas song quite often. “Have your self a merry little Christmas now…” So I tell her to do it, that she has to do it now. I will try it with you. Beat your heart! It’s your moral responsibility to beat…

Aging Process
I will offer a definition of age. I offer that age is memory, and I mean memory as a principle, as a physical law. So then, why would age seem to be associated with disease? The longer you live, the more time you have to get sick. Perhaps the body’s ability to fight off germs…
