Polyamory on Parade

Amy George

It happened in a moment of compassion for my friend. I somehow spontaneously channeled a higher-worldly force that moved through me to sexually heal her. I couldn't stop saying, "There's enough of me to go around." It was beautiful and amazing. How can this be wrong? Is this "cheating"?  (more)

Ayahuasca Pilgrimage?

The Spiritual Nomad

Lisa Renee

When one enters a major spiritual transition, it can be so painfully unnerving that it not only devastates one's self esteem, it also undermines our ability to fulfill even our most basic survival needs. This process is designed to cultivate the inner strength needed to face your deepest fears and learn how generous the universe really is. (more)

Greg Sullivan

Into the Quantum Realm

James Oroc

At the subatomic level, where everything is a pulsating sea of electrical possibility, the universe takes physical form because we are here to observe it. Just as the Australian Aboriginals believe that their ancestors sang up the world as they walked through the desert, it is possible that through perceiving, we create the universe. (more)

Are We Possessed?

Paul Levy

Far from a thing of the past or an ignorant superstition, demonic possession and evil spells, in our technologically developed society, are an increasing danger. C. G. Jung has given us modern terms for these very real states, uriging us to make exorcizing ourselves "the most vital task of civilization." (more)

Evolutionary Biology Symposium At Entheon Village

Michael Garfield

At this year's Burning Man, four evolutionary biologists came together to discuss the deeper issues of evolution:  Does it have a direction?  Can we use it to inform social action?  What form will it take if medicine conquers aging?  An inspired discussion on the nature of our changing reality...

Singing to the Plants

Stephan V. Beyer

Some of them will drink ayahuasca, and some will not; some will drink for vision, and some for cleansing. Some drink in order to see the face of the envious and resentful enemy who has made them ill.... All are here for don Roberto to heal them. (more)

Rituals for Lover Earth

Charles Eisenstein

Humanity today is transitioning into a new Story of the People, a new Story of Self, and a new Story of the World. I sometimes articulate it as "The connected self living in joyous cocreative partnership with Lover Earth." Rituals connect us to what is real within these stories. (more)

Fetishizing the Trigger

Jay Michaelson

In America, we're used to hippies being for peace and love not just rhetorically, but politically as well. But in Israel, many "fundamentalists" are actually part of the "peace and love" hippie crowd. These people are pulling a trigger and experiencing the Divine. (more)

History and Celestial Time

Walter Cruttenden

Most ancient cultures believed consciousness and history were not linear but cyclical, meaning they would rise and fall over long periods of time. New evidence suggests the ancient cyclical view could be true. Understanding the cycle might provide insight into where society is headed and why consciousness may be expanding at an exponential rate.

The Limits of the Limiting: The Failed Suicide of Philosophy

Yakov Rabinovich

Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall walk upon dry ground in the midst of the sea.... Pharaoh and his armies drowned in the flood of material existence and unassimilated sense-perception, not so much through a want of piety as through a lack of philosophy. Jesus would later walk on similar waters, as did such of his disciples as understood the significance of the act. This art was lost to later Christians at the same time that they severed their connection to Judaism. (more)

The Immanence of Myth

James Curcio

Life is a dream you won't remember upon awakening, and myth is that dream retold. We transmit our living mythologies to each other through our art, but equally so through our impact upon one another in our day-to-day lives. (more)

The Way of Light: A Healing Journey with Ayahuasca

Rak Razam

So there I am sitting in the dark, exposed to the naked raw emotion of true love as Maria sings to me, and when she is finished there's a pregnant pause like she's waiting for me to speak. For a second my tourist reflexes kick in and I think she wants something, dinero, that I've been drawn back to the level of buy and sell. But she doesn't ask for money. That's not what the mother does. (more)

Psychedelics and Nutrition: Carnivorous Cultures vs. Fungal Cultures

Ido Hartogsohn

The great excitement one gets when biting into lettuce or carrots after a psychedelic experience -- sensing their rich sweetness -- is tantamount, for me, to eating for the first time after six days of fasting. Suddenly, each fruit and vegetable regains its original heavenly taste, as though we are experiencing, for the first time, the real taste of food. (more)

Raising Altruism

Marisa Smith

Researchers found that children who had been primed for group affiliation were three times more likely than other infants to spontaneously offer help. (more)

The Rebirth of Tarot

Mitch Horowitz

As the 1950s wore on, the occult could seem like something of a spent force in American life. Foes of Spiritualism had exposed one mediumistic fraud after another. By the end of the decade, the occult could appear to be little more than an amalgam of eccentrics and loners. A new voice was needed. And it arrived just as the cusp of the 1960s came into sight. (more)

The Jhanas: Meditative Absorptions

Jay Michaelson

The jhanas are states of heightened concentration that have been cultivated by Hindus and Buddhists for three thousand years. They are altered states, full of bliss and, I would say, holiness.  Here I describe my experiences of the jhanic states and their significance for spiritual practitioners. (more)
