Things Happen
We have had terrible things happen in our lives. Things we did not choose. These terrible things aren’t necessarily your karma. You don’t exist in a void. For example, you do not choose another’s suicide. They do. If someone chooses to jump off a cliff, I can’t really stop them. It is the same with karma.…

Truth in All Things
The core belief in Sikhism is that you should seek truth in all things. They don’t have a concept of the unforgivable. They have no leg to stand on in their doctrine to “guilt trip” sinners, and no concept of hell. The Sikhs do have a saying and it isn’t a hate message. Their saying…

Sincerity of Darker Things
Many people feel they have to feel bad when someone dies. They are very insincere. I was happy that my Gran passed away. She was so sick for a long time. It was her right to have the relief. Sorry to hear about your grandmothers suffering. I genuinely am. In my experience, death is not…

Root Of All Things
We are going to talk about the Necronomicon. I will start with a bit of orientation. With everything in reality being as changeable as it is, what does it all have in common? Everything dies, and yet nothing does. That is the mystery of the Necronomicon. Now the one Necronomicon that you may have heard of…

Things To Come
I am a product of the newer mindset. I won’t go into too much detail as that tends to prove tedious. I am among what is called the high functioning autistic set. My area of focus/obsession has been assimilating world sociological/ spiritual/ philosophical systems. My type of people tend to be obsessed with systems. What…

Necromancy Of All Things
The form of necromancy I intend to discuss is not the same as the classic necromancy. This thread of necromancy often peeks its head up in other magical practices as well, even religious practices. It’s related to the exploration and use of dead spots. Last time, we discussed where the dead spots were and what…

Make Things Up
My purpose in describing deceit today was this, to show you where to find the lies. They aren’t everywhere, like shadows they have their own way about them. I just rock back and forth, brushing my hair and telling myself I am pretty. Excellent, and I will lead you with a mirror into a quiet…

Things Transform as Wholes
We give every evidence of being self-willed creatures, if that only means we can establish limits for our own behavior on the physical, psychic, and spiritual levels. But to human perception, does reality seem to be what we would call stable? Do things tend to stay neat and orderly? Upheaval doesn’t seem to have a…

Occupy All the Things!
Most things I read on dependent origination use it to explain emptiness. Do you have time to go into that? I do. How do we know when something is empty? In tai chi, an empty step is one that does not bear your full weight. Yes. Leaves it light, and free, and open. In Taoism,…

Things that Scare Us
We have one world with three faces of experience or consciousness. We have one world, but one which can be said to exist at three different levels of awareness, and even if you understand everything and delude yourself about nothing, none of the levels will disappear. The reason being, just as our brain assembles what…

To End Things
Can kami’s be touched like chakras? They are touched at the same time you touch a chakra. The chakra is its way of incarnating. It’s the house of the kami. The saying, “An angel just visited me.” It’s an interesting notion, and has some unspoken implications that maybe should be questioned. Dark kami dwell in…

You Are All Things
Today we are talking about a concept most clearly described by the traditions of Buddhism but one that is indeed present in other traditions as well if you know where to look. The Buddhists call it Buddha nature. The primary concern in Buddhism was and is to find the genuine self, and their observations, as…

Express Four Things
Shall we move into the fourth dimension now? This is where you start honestly believing in things. You believe things are real when there are three elements. You believe they are meaningful when they have four. Life begins to look immersive. You can start imagining you have choices with four elements, and yet, what about…

Things Come Together
Let’s look at the molecules that come together to make up that bird. They behave in relationship to each other the same way they would if they didn’t share the environment of the birds mass. Let’s look at chemical heat. Thermal emissions from the bird behave like light, are considered part of the electromagnetic spectrum,…

Stop Wanting to Fix Things
How much do most people do just because they like or love it? If they only like doing it, why don’t they love it? Because some things to do are more likeable than others? Oh, indeed. I like to do the dishes. Sorry, not in love with that. I wouldn’t try to claim that everyone…

You Believe Things
It’s been said that we can’t solve a problem in the same state of mind we become aware of it in. Recent science is even backing this up. The way we normally think about things, we just practice and reinforce the problems that set us off in the first place. We welcome the vandals of…

Informing Things
How many powers does your mind have? What do you think? Including potential? Infinite? I offer that it has only one. It holds. It freezes. It doesn’t record. It isolates, suspends. All are the same process. Now the universe itself is dynamic. By definition all energy in it is in a constant state of exchanging potential.…

Do All the Things
Anyone familiar with the bicameral mind theory? Two hemispheres? It does indeed involve the two hemispheres. All the sane praying to god and making sacrifices and stuff like that? They did things as a matter of course that would land someone today in a criminal insane asylum for life. Well, the theory is that consciousness…
