Do breathing practices for about fifteen to thirty minutes. Keep your awareness on your breath as long as you can, and always come back to that when you forget. After you do this, eat some grapes while maintaining mindfullness. Those are some damned good grapes. I might recommend cleaning your mouth really well before you do the breathing.

I've been really feeling inspired lately. My energy is changing a lot, and I can see myself coming into my own, in several ways. In short, its good to be me.  One has to wonder though, how long something like this can last. I think I found out that three weeks was my max for riding the high. I don't feel totally disconnected now, which is different. I started to back slide and stopped doing a lot

I think there are many kinds of genius. One that is little understood, and by far the most powerful is Spiritual Intelligence. I don't know how specific of a definition I have for you, but it involves thinking at very high levels of logic and long periods of deep introspective analysis.

As much credit as people give Star Wars, it's value may still be underestimated. Star Wars gives our society something we need desperately, a mythology. This is no simple feat. Only a true genius, someone predestined for their roll, could supply our jaded society with relevant and penetrating archetypical symbols. Unfortunately, given the subjective nature of post modern society, these

We must always stay engaged with reality. If we react defensively and withdraw, we become static. It is said that reality is a continuous field of being. In a sense this allows us to perceive that everything is sustained by and within a single source and point. Perhaps meaning a central intelligence. Everything exists in relation to this source. I am not an individuated entity, I am a reaction

I've spent most of my conscious life believing that freedom was really some kind of joke. It has always seemed to me that we're so defined by governmental laws, and social structures and patterns, that we don't have much choice in how we lead our lives. This is what I see now as a partial truth. Although because of our definitions and values, all these things are true, nothing is ever that

My heart burst forth into the heavens. Need draws me out, compels me beyond reason to find my source. Anticipation and longing, reaching for something that one can never quite grasp. There is nothing to be found. Emptiness, except for love. Love is the last truth, the only truth. Here, I find the garden. My heart floats on the currents of love. My salvation found, love the redeemer. In

I've been away for a while, doing some work in the shadows. Something that has always been an issue for me is whatever correlation there is between day to day experience and experience of the Sacred. On a personal level, I have alot of "emotional baggage" left over from a traumatic childhood. And with this baggage fully in tow, I've often attempted my journey into Sacred Space. It doesn't

Ok so we've become totally liberated from our old paradigms. We no longer cling to superstitious nonsense or needless attachment, we've fully learned how to let go. Where does that leave us? This is a question i've asked over and over in one form or another, and i have yet another possible way to answer it. Deconstructing ourselves in this way isn't liberation from anything. We're only

It's been a while... This isn't a subject i would normally talk about but something that has really caught my attention recently is how much life changes as you make a transition from childhood to being an adult. There's so many things you begin to be aware of, that you as a child would never have given a second thought. You know i've been reading a great blog here in the integral community

I think people spend to much time looking at the destructive aspect of reality. Everything is being born and burning out through infinity, each moment is blooming and withering everywhere forever. It's hard to express the nature of what seems to be going on in the universe. And that is the way we tend to look at it, it really has nothing to do with our lives at all. There's this vast cosmic

What defines a Man? I think it is a state of mind, it's an ability to harness the energies put at your disposal. To reach out, to create, to labor, to protect, to be strong, all those things are part of the description. Yet it's so much more and so much less. I think you can put as many layers on male motivation as you have time or care to, but you can also reduce it to not much more than a

What is the possible necessity of having a tradition to follow as a spiritual path? Some people think it's almost unavoidable and then there's other's who scorn the idea. (i'm speaking of non literalists only) Then of those who think following a tradition is the best route i believe there is again a division. Some believe you should immerse yourself in one tradition in order to adopt the world

Ok, i'm a little late here, but i've gotta pay homage to my roots. Star Wars has always been a light in the dark for me. It has been everything from my favorite form of entertainment to my own mythology, which i think is the beauty of it, that it can encompass both of those. This final chapter in the saga is the best of all. It brings the two trilogies together in ways i could have never guessed

As the universe grows in complexity it seems to become more self aware. There seems to be interactions on higher and higher levels of organization. We as the (assumedly) first self-aware beings in this Kosmos are the harbingers of a great change in the nature of spirit. What came before can really only be interpreted as a mechanistic reality. Rules upon rules pushing the universe onward. A

I was thinking about this today: Over the years after i was introduced to eastern philosophy i've integrated a level of non attachment. I'm not a consistent meditator, but because i've focused on the idea so much i've trained my mind to let go of objects more easily. I realized though that the energy to affect change like that originated at the level of belief. My assertion that non attachment

Change is the fundamental aspect of existence. Life is composed of change, depends upon it. It is one organic evolving whole whose primary operation is coemergence. This is the metaphysical rule that every experience can ultimately be reduced to. It's simple when you think about it. If the universe was only one coherent whole, with no moving, differentiated parts, then nothing would ever

Still slowly working my way through "Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality" by Wilber (of course), so as to feel truly learned on the subject. Before he starts into part 2 of the book, at one point he goes over the ideas of Archetypes associated with people like Jung and Joseph Campbell. Before i discovered Wilber both of these individuals were very informative for me. I appreciate there idea of the

I've been talking about music recently and it's caused me to start turning certain ideas over in my mind, shall we discuss them? Good, i'm glad we're in agreement. In Tantra and more specific to my point in Mantra the idea of Root syllables or Root sounds are central. This is not something i've explored in great depth, but the idea seems to have a good bit of credence to it. The idea states

It seems to me that as technology develops into cyberspace and our interactions with it quickly evolve and deepen we free our thoughts/values/symbols of our "real world" interactions. What i think this means is not totally clear :) The essence of it though revolves around our capacity to transcend the traditions and behavior/thought patterns we have developed.

America can seem like a pretty shallow place, and in a lot of ways it is. However, I think that if properly oriented there is much value to be found. On the surface you see Capitalism and Consumerism have run rampant, infecting the lives of all americans. When was the last time you had a meal that wasn't sealed in plastic first?

A major point of interest for me is the idea of the evolution of the Kosmos. We can clearly see that reality is always moving forward. Each new emergent bringing something unique into existence and is always becoming more complex or developing more depth. What really puts evolution in perspective for me is considering the fact that we are at it's peak. Which means, whatever may come after, right

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is a thought provoking movie. I'm not a big anime fan so i've not totally explored the universe, there's manga and a series for this universe, and i'm told the author is quite brilliant.

I wanted to just make a point here briefly that was brought to my attention by a friend and mentor. In the realm of spiritual discipline one has to weigh the benefits of your chosen practice against the effort exerted to go through the process.

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think that it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly coloured, and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question - is this real,
