Sacred Geometry is undertaken as a contemplative exercise. Each operation reveals fundamental processes of atomic and molecular organization, patterns of biological systems, and the structure of Space and Time.  (more)

Psychedelics expose us to a particular set of metaphysical assumptions. But even the most vivid visions are just passing symbols. However "true" the psychedelic experience is, it's a reality as full of risk as any other. The largest risk is that of religious delusion (more)

Once upon a time, the universe was sacred and unfathomable by simple emanation. Humans accepted the operations of nature as the mirror and counterpart to their own existence. Before quarks and Big Bangs, they called it Spider Woman and Corn Mother. These are not fables; they are hard-won intuitions of something before form. (more)

Lately I've been fascinated by the idea that there is no such thing as an original source energy, no awakening to oneness or singularity that we are returning to, and no evolution toward any spiritual destiny. What if these ideas were merely the psychic residue of displaced religious dogmas and an outdated scientific model of the universe? (more)

Physicalism asserts that only that which is the subject of physics can be held to be real. If physical reality does not comprise the whole of what is real, then it is possible to accept the truths of physics while asserting the falsity of physicalism. (more)

Part of the process of coming to terms with the crisis that we face has to do with following where each contradiction leads: We must, at some point, find the means to reenter the clear consciousness that surrounds us.   (more)

After years of investigation into the physics of metaphysics, I've learned that our inner and outer space can in fact collapse into a coherent single-spaced body-image of oneness in the third eye open state-of-trance. Death does not exist. (more)

The Akashic Records are a dimension of consciousness that contains a vibrational record of every soul and its journey. From them, we can derive understanding and direction. (more)

What is accounted as real must, among other things, accord with our preconceptions. Nonetheless, the content of our preconceptions may differ wildly according to time and place. Many cultures give far more credence than we do to ghosts, spirits, good and evil, possession, and witchcraft. So did Western civilization five hundred years ago. (more)

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)

Last week, I attended the Psychedelics and Spirituality debate between Daniel Pinchbeck and Dharmanidhi. Putting aside the issue of psychedelics, what was more intriguing to me was that there seemed a persistent gap in their conceptions of evolution and change. Given their shared emphasis on doing good and maximum benefit, how then do we reconcile the divergence? (more)

I began to experience synchronicities in the early nineties and in the last three years they became frequent and more complex. Friends began to report their own experiences, which created a feedback loop resulting in remarkable events. (more)

How was all of the "stuff" that went along with the study of magic first derived? I wanted to understand the nature of the gods and goddesses from books and esoteric lore that I had come to love and find a pantheon within my own life and experience. (more)

Are peak experiences real? How do we know anything is true? Certain things are logically provable, but many other kinds of truths are not. Secret mystical teachings are not esoteric; they are experiential. (more)

In the Christian story of the Last Supper, Jesus distributes the flesh of God, initiating the first communion. To a Catholic, the significance of the scene is its mythic and theological context. But to a Buddhist, it's about fresh baked bread. (more)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Reincarnationist blog collects stories about life after life after life... (more)

[Daemonic Dispatches] • Jon Ronson tells the sinister and ridiculous story of the U.S. government's experiments in psychic warfare – including Uri Geller, Ed Dames and the Army's remote viewing program, Steven Halpern and subliminal suggestion, Guy Savelli's death touch, the Heaven's Gate suicides, and the use of the Barney theme song as a torture device in Abu Ghraib. (more)

Macular degeneration is a progressive disease, leading inexorably to blindness. But as sight dims, sufferers experience dreamlike hallucinations, glimpses of a realm somewhere between spirit and reality… (more)

The award-winning author and metaphysician reflects upon feminism, New Orleans, Hinduism and how her esoteric concerns have fed her professional life as a novelist, non-fiction writer, and Tarot reader. (more)

While mainstream depictions of the future seem increasingly dire, New Age hits such as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep Do We Know" may point toward a new paradigm in which psychic energy is harnessed for planetary transformation. (more)

[Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century] •After-Death Communication (ADC) is the official term now given to what happened to me spontaneously in June 1988 where I was contacted by a “deceased” federal government physicist colleague, George Viguet (pronounced vee-gay). My friend had “died” prematurely at age 40 from a sudden cardiac arrest seven months previously in Huntsville, Alabama, but appeared suddenly “out-of-the-blue” one morning and that invoked a state of trance in me. I slipped into a very unique consciousness that was full-of-information about life and death in fact. (more)

The biospheric dreambody is a higher-dimensional aspect of ourselves that, just like a dream, is nonlocal and multi-channeled, as it is not
constrained by the apparent physical laws of the third-dimensional universe. It’s a deeper part of ourselves that expresses itself synchronistically both within ourselves and simultaneously in the outside world, through both our personal process and our collective body politic. Just like a dream, something important is being revealed to us in the process of its unfoldment, something that could have worldwide consequences for our planet’s current ecological crisis. (more)
