Evident And Spiritual Components
Can you have had a thought without first having had an experience? Yes. How is that? Thought is always first. Thought precedes action and reaction, but it precedes itself? Is there no reality before thought? Often times we lose track of reality after thought. Do we lose track of it before? Can you be lost…

Spiritual Power
There have always been two paths in every tradition. One that allows the seeker to bring spiritual power to the people, and another that calls the seeker away from the people. In the African tradition, there is the Houngan or Mambo. The wise man or woman who works with the loa to share both the…

Life Is Spiritual
At this moment I see ego as eternal. Self is eternal. The atman is eternal. Atman = microcosm. It’s us. We are the image of the source. Universal consciousness? Consciousness is universal. Gratitude is harmony with universal consciousness. I meditate, but in the back of my mind I still think, “Oh dear, all those people…

Spiritual Ethics
On the subject of spiritual ethics, spiritual practices are observed to reinforce a commitment to a set of attitudes and thereby insure the manifestation of these attitudes in society, or to open the mind to spiritual insight to allow change in attitudes and thus improved spiritual and even physical well being. An example of a…

Spiritual Thoughts of Robert Gresak
WORRY AND ANXIETY It is in our human natures to worry and be filled with anxiety especially when it concerns such things as our children, our income or our health. The trick is not to worry excessively. One should rather think first, assess, then act. Adjust your way of living as need demands, changing things if one can, but then,…

Integrity in Spiritual Practice by Kimberly Wilson
The pursuit of a spiritual life, contrary to popular portrayal and belief, is not marked by devil-may-care, experimental, or self-indulgent practices. To be sure, there are many counterfeit brands of spirituality that claim to change lives and heighten spiritual awareness, but these programs are more akin to (and sometimes are) drug usage than they are…

Networking in Spiritual Life by Angelita Williams
I firmly believe that spirituality stands among the most prominent and critical pillars of a person’s life. Without a proper sense of spirituality, be it religious or more esoteric, a person cannot hope to achieve true fulfillment in their lives. And, like all good things, spirituality is best realized among others in an open and…

Spiritual Police
The core principle behind exorcism is not unlike an animal’s territorial behavior. Some species can tolerate the presence of other species in their territory fairly well, while others are much more aggressive and defensive against any rivals. This is why early exorcists would come to have a whole roster of different kinds of spirits categorized…

Making the Most Out of Spiritual Education by Mariana Ashley
The spiritual educational experience can be a smooth ride or a slippery slope. Life is full of numerous temptations, unhealthy habits, and terrible maladies. So how does one expand their spirituality in the midst of such world chaos? Education – of course. Spiritual education helps students maintain life goals, inner callings, and personal sanity in…

My 5 Favorite Spiritual Tomes by Amanda Watson
Obviously, given the nature of the subject matter, this is a very personal and subjective list. So I don’t want anyone to take it as a “best” list or any kind of canon of required reading. I simply want to share with you some of the most inspiring, revelatory, or just plain mind-blowing books I’ve…

Inner Spiritual Order
Adoration is the understanding of one’s own inner spiritual order. You start from your center, and then you arrange your channels of expression around that. Your center should be in a sense sacrosanct. Your most sacred aspect of life. But the spirit being what it is, it needs to flow out into other facets of…

DNA of the Spiritual Realm
In occult lore, characters, alphabets, were the “DNA” of the spiritual realm, revealed rather than invented. There is some loose evidence to support this even in modern science as they continue to study the process of cognition and more specifically “language” in the brain. You can be primed to notice elements of your environment by…

In Tune with Natural and Spiritual
Are you all familiar with shamanism? Life centered magic? Not necessarily life centered, but definitely spirit centered, living or otherwise. In our role-play shamans are primarily healers. Is this the case or do they do more? Oh, they certainly do more though some of it is part of what inspired today’s topic on Dark Shamanism.…

Spiritual Battle
You hear much about the shamans spirit journeys, but their contact with the spirits was by no means limited to their journey rituals. The spirits would overcome them as well. A spontaneous trance is often heralded by a howling sound, sometimes leading to seizures, but often leading to wild outburst or rampaging violent outbursts. So…

Mayan Spiritual Order
Mayan astrology is really an extension of Mesoamerican efforts in general. The Aztec people were working on the same general sort of thing as well, so the distinction is perhaps overly fine a point to make. Mayan astrology doesn’t focus primarily on planetary observation. It does involve things like that, especially tracking the star Venus,…

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…

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…
