Dream work update
I’ve been continuing to do the Dream Yoga work each night. Consistently my dreams have focused on issues that I’m currently working on via other forms of internal work. I’ve lately been focusing on the positions that you need to enter into when you got sleep, and when you wake up at different times of [...]
Internal and External Realities
It’s tempting sometimes to create a duality between the internal reality of a person’s psyche and the external reality of the universe. It’s important to recognize however that such dualities are illusions, created more for our convenience. That convenience is ultimately a blockage, and when we get rid of it we find that our understanding [...]
What magic’s about
I’m working on chapter 5 of the new book today, which deals with neurotransmitters, and neuro-physiology, and how the magician can work with neurotransmitters, cells, etc., in order to induce change in the magician’s identity. I recall once a conversation I had at a campfire when I was speaking at Gathering of the Tribes about [...]
Purification as a magical process
I’ve been sick recently, which has provided an interesting opportunity to recognize how sickness can be a purifying process for the body. When I think about that and then purification as a magical process, I come up with the following video: ShareTweet
Illusion, Definitions and the Movie of your life
I’ve been reading Illusions by Richard Bach (Amazon Affiliate link), which is an interesting book about a reluctant messiah. At one point in the book the author uses a metaphor of life as a movie to point out that people create their own films and determine in them how helpless or actualized they are. I [...]
Why the body is a pathway to the divine
I came across this article where a Baptist preacher has argued that doing Yoga goes against the Christian faith because it teaches that a person can experience the divine through the body. This isn’t surprising because so much of Christianity is about damning the body as a portal to sin instead of celebrating it as [...]
Dopamine and Norepinephrine
Dopamine: Appears as an old man/trickster figure. Dopamine causes pleasure, most notably in sex when a person orgasms. When I worked with him this time, as with when I first worked with him, he reminded me to use dopamine carefully…that it’s not something to be abused. This makes senses to me, especially if you consider [...]
Serotonin Report
For me, Serotonin is a 6 eyed red snake. When I experience Serotonin in my body, it feels like a fuzzy, warm light has encased my body. Serotonin is balance, the balance of the light with the dark, as well as the balance of the neurochemistry of the brain and the balance of the moods [...]
What is practical magic?
I’ve been thinking about what practical magic since I’ve started reading a book about strategic sorcery. When I think about practical magic and what it is, I don’t just think of magic used to solve a problem or crisis in the mundane world, but also as the magician taking a step further and examining what [...]
A definition of embodiment magic
Understanding the relationship of the body with the communication with the subconscious is important to realizing how the body can be worked with successfully. Learning how to embody an emotion or concept can be a useful way to understand the effect the emotion or concept has on your life. ShareTweet
