Why its not a good idea to destroy part of yourself
The other day I decided to do a meditation technique to work with a part of myself that I thought I wanted to change. I did the meditation technique and basically I ended up poking a part of myself that didn’t care for what I was doing and responded with quite a reaction, which showed [...]
Using sleep deprivation as an altered state of consciousness
Whenever I don’t get enough sleep I can feel it through out the day. My response time is a bit off, and my thought process just isn’t as focused. I don’t normally go out of my way to get into a state of sleep deprivation, but I recognize that it is an altered state of [...]
Developing a relationship with the spirits
I’ve been reading a lot of spider-man comics lately and one theme I’ve noticed in some of them is an exploration of the spider as a totemic being that spider-man is aligned with. It’s interesting to me because at the same time the question is raised as to why Spider-man hasn’t explored this connection in [...]
Conscious awareness as a reaction
As I’ve been writing Neuro-Space/Time Magic and exploring the concept of Identity, and how genuine changes occur in a person’s life, I’ve been thinking a lot about consciousness. Consciousness is put on a pedestal in a way, as a big accomplishment, and I understand why that is. Consciousness, when applied in a mindful manner, can [...]

The Microbot approach to sickness
I’ve been sick lately, a weird kind of flu where my temperature has gone below the usual temp. It’s not a fever, but the result is I still feel sick. Never being a person to turn aside opportunity, I’ve been working on a technique to deal with illness that I’ve been using for a little [...]
How to use distraction to improve focus
Sometimes when I do my daily meditation, I turn on the TV or music and play it in the background where I can see or hear it. And then I do my meditation, using the distractions as a way to focus my mind. You wouldn’t think it would work, because it is a distraction, but [...]
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 [...]
Karmic Traces and Dream Work
I’ve been continuing to do the Tibetan Dream Yoga each night and I’ve found that I’ve been more aware of my dreams as a result. In the book I read on Tibetan Dream Yoga the author talked about karmic traces, which are essentially patterns, behaviors, attachments, etc. The karmic traces are something we all have [...]
Estrogen – Taylor’s Report
Estrogen appeared as a snake with a with wide mouth that, when it enfolded me felt warm and moist. My experience with her was one where she had a similar feeling of femininity in counterbalance to the masculinity I experience with Testosterone. At the same time the experience was also of a rhythmic cycle, which [...]
