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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Dream Technique part 2
I’d mentioned a little while back that I’d begun experimenting with using physical sensations as a means to create a dream reality where I could do internal work. I’ve found since that original post that what seems to work best for me, if I want to do a night of internal work is a kinisthetic [...]
Embodiment magic
A while back I’d written about some of my experiences with Laban, a form of physical movement. My main purpose for studying Laban was to learn more about the spatial realities of the body as well as how it moves through space, something I considered essential for really getting the methodology of paratheatre, which Antero [...]
Recognizing and changing patterns
I was talking with Kat recently about patterns, specifically the patterns of behavior each person has, as well as the patterns that occur between people. It seems to me that each person does have specific patterns of behavior that they act out, and also have specific patterns of behavior that occur in the relationships…kind of [...]
