Using Energies in the World
Using the energies is sort of like being in a gently flowing river. Most people are blown about by the winds or washed away with the waters, but you can see that the winds and the waters, the elements and the spirits, are not separate from you. Often, when the energies seem to rebel, when…

Judgement and Our World View
Judgement is something I have been dealing with lately, but there are some simple facts regarding it. As much as people may want to believe otherwise, we do not respond to an objective reality. The world and our lives as we see them are simply the bi-product of judgements me make. The first and foremost being…

Shape Your World
Part of why some metaphysical practices seem to fail is that you deal with the energy of doubt, of fear, of hope. If you try to manifest, you confront the whole world within you. This is why people often feel anxiety at the prospect of manifestation and here is the real trick. If you try…

The World Working
If you tell me my car was stolen, and I was not concerned about my car, not focused on anything to do with the car, is that really change for me? Oh, it might change for me later as my focus changes, but what if I have an attitude that the car just doesn’t matter,…

World in Balance
There is a thought that bad things happen to good people. How can you explain that? Bad things happen to good people, because the concept of good and bad (i.e. justice) is a human notion. This living world is no respecter of persons, and so much of what is “bad” is just seen as bad. If…

World as Ritual
Do you see a connection between the modern ‘worship’ of materialism/money as the root of many people being in a state of dis-ease, as in it being a good example of ‘bad’ ritual? Yes, I do indeed. The American bill says in God we trust, but in fact the ritual of money isn’t about trust…

Sense the World
I had a dog who got very sick, and I had to put him to sleep. He always slept in one particular spot on the bed, and my other two dogs will not sleep in his spot to this very day. It’s been over two years. They do sense his psychic imprint, though his scent…

Negative World View
In the shadow, the human mind will create “bad” things. But the bad things are things arising from our nature, the same as those parts of ourselves we praise. Being parts of the one whole truth of who we are, often that shadow mirrors everything we consider worthy, every virtue we claim stemming from something…

Inform the World
There is much criticism of language in the fad monasticism that seems to be the vogue of spirituality lately. Very Zen, and I’m no critic of Zen, but there is stuff beyond that point. Sort of like the Buddhist handling of the concept of Gods. They don’t go there, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t…

The World is Listening
The first discipline of language magic is listening, and at first you will be listening to yourself. This is necessary. As you listen to yourself, you will see the pattern and how it impacts the world. At this point, you can begin to make choices, but you can’t stop there. That’s just meditation, though that’s…

Alive in a Living World
Authoritarianism. Men are brought up that they are to be the authority. They are supposedly the ones to discipline the kids. I will be totally honest. I don’t like telling anyone to do anything. We claim to be a democracy. Well, biological fact is there are more women than men. So why are the presidents…

Engage the World
We have not one drive, but two. A will to self preservation and fear, but also a will to power. Courage. A motivation to engage the world. Some soldiers do actually want to see the battle won, and we in our civilian life are not taught to really back up our desires, our goals, or values.…

The World Is Watching
People often get into the idea that they are “entitled” to do what they are used to doing, and get deeply stuck in their habits and “set in their ways”. The problem with this is they don’t see that they have options. They have made decisions, and don’t seem to realize they can make more…

Way In The World
People are infinite, and saying people are crazy is ego. Saying people are wise is ego. Saying anything and embracing it as an absolute definition is ego. We can see the song, and then we can see the singer, and then we can see the unity of voices, but the perception of unity doesn’t come…

Living Spiritually in a Material World by Christine Howell
I have heard people say that to be spiritual in a material world; all materialism must be rejected for the spiritualist needs nothing, but their spiritual essences. I believe to live a spiritual life in this materialistic world is the opportunity to break illusions and delve deeper into the understanding of what life becomes as…

World Before Form
Dragon lore is very old. It actually even extends into human prehistory. All cultures across the world speak of a time before the form and order of today’s world was “fixed”, and of powers dwelling in the world that predate humanity in both sentience and insight. Many of these still exist in the human species…

The World Receives
I know someone who agreed to live in a place that is killing her to get a job. Her health has declined horribly. Is she frustrated, and if so how would it be about the environment? In order for her to earn a living, she has to be subjected to harm? This is her belief,…

One World
I have found I observe something about people that most people just think is weird. People get seriously hung up on ethnic groups and literal blood lines. But I have seen for a long time that despite superficial differences, there does seem to be only a limited number of types of people, and ethnicity has…
