Factorfiction asked in a comment to yesterday’s post what kind of things I learned about myself during my journeys. I thought my answer would make a good post for today. I believe out of all the journeys I have taken, and out of all the things I have learned, the one thing that really stands out is how much I (actually each of us) really do know about the Truth. This was first pointed out to me by Mentor, the name I gave to the wise being whom I continually run into on my journeys. I don’t know... Sign in to see full entry.

Want to Experience an Altered State of Reality? Try Shamanic Journeying
I’ve begun to journey again. For those not familiar journeying, or more properly Shamanic journeying, is a process (one of many) that allows one to visit another plane of existence, or another state of reality. For me, it is very similar to the altered states of reality I experienced using drugs in my college days, only without the drugs. The process of journeying is relatively simple. One first needs to have the intent of journeying in order for it to happen. Much like the intent one must have... Sign in to see full entry.

Grant me grace from above Help each eye to finally see That everything comes from love Fill me until I am empty Show me the kingdom inside Help me to escape this reality Where separateness is wide Fill me until I am empty Give me direction ‘til I am done Help me find and climb the only tree Where everything is one Fill me until I am empty Sign in to see full entry.

An Alliance With Death is a Tricky Affair
It is a tricky alliance, this relationship with Death. A rather obvious statement, I would assume. And yet it is certainly right to call it an alliance. An alliance is a relationship based on a common interest. And that is the relationship Death and I have. I have an interest in ridding myself of the dead and Death has an interest in giving the dead a slow boat ride. Yet this alliance is fraught with danger. While I work to discard darkness whenever I can, and Death follows behind picking up the... Sign in to see full entry.

Immediate Gratification Found in Shades of Darkness
Death kept its distance from me this day. Though aware that cast-offs of darkness were frequently a result of my growth in light and an opportunity for Death to feast, this day the opposite were true. This day darkness enveloped me. There was no rhyme or reason for it. Upon awakening, I felt no different than any other day. Thinking back however I must admit that Death, normally appearing with the arrival of my full consciousness, was no where to be found in this a.m. As the morning matured, I...

Balloon Released by Laura, 10, Travels 140 Miles to Yard of Laura, Age 10
Check out the following very interesting stories: Mrs. Willard Lovell locked herself out of her house. She spent 10 minutes trying to find a way in when the postman arrived with her mail. Within the various pieces of mail was a letter from her brother who had recently stayed with her for a while. Inside the envelope was a key to her home he had mistakenly taken back with him to his home in Washington. Or what about the two sisters who had grown apart. One lived in Florida, the other in Ohio.... Sign in to see full entry.

Death is My Friend
Each day’s joy comes first upon awakening, when I ask for Death to join me on my journey into being. Death accepts with eagerness, for any opportunity to ply one’s trade is happily embraced. Death sits in silent anticipation as the first chance to grasp a soul arrives. The soul stands sullenly near a tree, wanting nothing more than acknowledgement of love. When I balk at offering, Death slumps back into the seat with dank spirit hissing free. Opportunity number two arrives without warning, as we... Sign in to see full entry.

He Awakens With Thoughts of Giving
He awakens with thoughts of giving. He breakfasts on many gifts. And as he moves through the gift of morning, there is delight with each opportunity to give. The noon-time gift is shared with friends. And as the gifted afternoon strolls by, he gives to any soul whose path he may cross. The gift that is evening arrives, and he shares in the gifts of the sup. And as the nighttime gift prepares for sleep, he gives to the souls that share in love. Dreams come quickly, bearing gifts for the new dawn,... Sign in to see full entry.

Clergy on Board With Teaching Evolution and Not Intelligent Design
I found this interesting and thought I would pass it along. It's a brief synopsis of an article found on the CNN website yesterday from Reuters: American scientists fighting back against creationism, intelligent design and other theories that seek to deny or downgrade the importance of evolution have recruited unlikely allies – the clergy. While the courts continue to hold that schools cannot sneak creationism into the classroom, that doesn’t stop the idea from spreading. “As a legal strategy... Sign in to see full entry.

Even a Desire to do Good is to Dance With Selfishness
Any desire one may have is based in Ego. Even a desire to do good is to dance with selfishness. The very act of wanting anything, good or bad, removes one from the present moment and places one in the future. And living in the future is living without "God". To truly live with the Divine, one must be an empty vessel. Like a ship awaiting a captain, one must await Spirit for directions. There can be no desire. There can be no want. There can only be the offering of action in the here and now... Sign in to see full entry.
