Integrating concepts into your life through your subconscious
One of the skills I’ve picked up over the years is one where I integrate magical concepts into my life on a practical basis by imprinting those concepts into my subconscious and then allowing those concepts to integrate into my life via my actions and life occurrences. Sounds really similar to sigils, right? The main [...]
An encounter with Elephant and Apophenia
Today Lupa and I went to the Portland Art Musuem and at one point made it to a floor which had some Art from different parts of Asia, including India. Some of that art included statues to Ganesha, and while I was there I learned that Portland is apparently well-known for liking elephants. I found [...]

Hindsight
I was looking at one of my experimental journals, a written journal I keep, and saw it in a reading I did a year or more ago about a possible move to the East versus staying in Portland. I won’t say much about the East coast reading beyond noting that what the reading showed me [...]
Elemental Emptiness Work Month 5: Compassion pt. 2
2-16-09 I’ve been gone for a few days at pantheacon and a lot happened while there. On the flight in, I was reading Relaxing into your Being by B. K. Frantzis and in it he was discussing how meditation work initially is like a glass of water with red dust in it. The red dust [...]
Some insights into Taoist inner alchemy

I’m finding this book to be really useful in further refining my understanding of Taoist energy work, particularly on one issue which concerns the retention of semen. If you’ve read any of Mantak Chia’s work, Chia argues that it’s absolutely essential to retain the semen during [...]

Addendum to my post about the limitation of gods
Later in the epilogue one of the protagonists is told that Ahriman is pursuing them because he still needs to tell Ahriman his wish. He says he doesn’t want anything Ahriman offers and Ahriman is astonished. And the key point to that…Any relationship is defined by the choices you make. A god only has power [...]
Some thoughts on the limitations of gods
Warning…this post will likely be considered blasphemous if you are of the school of thought deities are all powerful, all knowing, and therefor infallible. That said, let’s move on to the content… I recently finished the new Prince of Persia game and have been playing the downloadable add-on epilogue adventure and in both the main [...]
The connection between Inner Alchemy and Social Responsibility
Latest article on Right where you are sitting now: A reprint of Developing an Internal Body Language. I’ve just finished reading Mencius and what really stands out to me about is an approach to the value of relationships and sustaining them, which I’ve only found in networking groups which focus on a collaborative approach to doing [...]
