Spirit of Place
There is spirit everywhere. Spirit is being. If it exists, there is spirit behind it. If it has action, there is spirit behind that behaviour. Each eco-system has its own spirit. Individual sections of an eco-system can have recognizable spirits separate from the larger. I don’t believe in good and bad spirit. Just harmonious state…

Spirit Contact
We contact spirits in the same way we sense our loved ones at a distance. A divinatory method isn’t absolutely necessary. In fact, you are likely more in contact than you may have realized you are. The contained system we think our bodies and minds to be really isn’t. Just because we incarnated doesn’t mean…

Methods of Spirit Communication
There are various methods of communicating with the spirit world and the presences that are there. Meditation: One of the most easy methods, and the way most stumble across it, is meditations. At times in meditation one looses themselves enough in a deep open state that a spirit (often a guide) can communicate rather directly…

Origin of Spirit
The converse of the order we know isn’t necessarily chaos. So why do we perceive spirit to run counter of, or independently of matter? Isn’t chaos just the absence of order? Chaos is the presence of potential, yet not actualized energy. If there is a fire and “chaos” breaks out, people will run. However there is…

Science, Spirit, Energy and Matter
Alchemy can be applied widely, and it’s more a way of thinking or philosophy rather then ‘stir a pot and out comes gold’ as it’s usually portrayed. The association with making gold was narrow even in the heyday of alchemy. However, some say philosophy is just a subjective stance and has no substance in the…

Relationship with Spirit
I wonder how Machiavelli would be seen back in the day? As you know, Machiavelli had considerable influence as a strategist, but not much virtue. His power came from “not revealing the rules of the game”, and for supposedly not having much virtue but he would not have been villainized in African culture. His guidelines in…

Spirit Awakening
Documentation on how sacred places were located is scattered. They used pendulums or dowsing rods and many of the legendary water spirits were believed to dwell at places that were basically sacred sites, and not every sacred site welcomed everyone. Some only the village Shaman entered because of what they did with their energy. For…

Abode for the Spirit
Many of our modern ghost stories once served to illustrate things they believed about life. If you got ill, it was because an ancestor was upset or because they withdrew from your disrespect, and an evil non human spirit was permitted to enter you. The idea of the body as an object, but also as…

Animal Spirit Elders
The Native American culture has differing origin/creation stories. They all generally believed in a great spirit and the animal spirits were considered elders. Humans were seen as young in the world, but to their view animals were spirits, not necessarily confined to looking as they seem to obviously, and the line between human and animal wasn’t…

This transference is continual regardless if it is sexual or not (erotic). by Trinity Hunghi Eros is your spirit. Eros is forever your spirit. Psyche is your memory. It’s your learning, your skills and self expression, and ideally they…

Walking With Spirit
There was a goddess named Hathor, the hippo who governed the Nile. You were considered to need to cross the Nile so they invoked the aid of the Bison Goddess by imitating her act of creation. The shaping of human bodies from clay. Except in this case the clay was linked to the spirits of the…

Spirit of the Land
The Christ Easter story is mirrored in other religions, and it is the ultimate story of destruction and renewal. The pagan rites of kingship are heavily shown in the Celtic world, and this applied in Africa also, though the shamanic views were different from the monotheistic. Basically, it was believed that in order to truly…

Logistics of Spirit
Power is the logistics of spirit. Where does it come from and reside? The cycles, the memory, the creative potential energy. It could be seen as the ground of all other energies. The grand unified field of physics. Power is lost when we break it into pieces as our minds so love to do? Basically, yes. …

Being True To Spirit
What would life be like if everyone had a job they loved from their spirit? It‘s really crazy that we live the majority of our life “putting in hours” to get money. And doing things that seen in the big picture we would not approve of another doing. Maybe in Second Life we find people…

Originating Spirit
Spirit was originally the concept of an active agent. Spirit was anything that caused things to happen and was not some abstract, lifeless force. Quite the opposite. In the old world, things being guided by life was just a given. Our ancestors had good instincts, even if they were mostly busy surviving. They also had…
