The ONE, The Source, The SELF, The Infinite, The Godhead, The Absolute, etc

All names for the One Underlying Reality, the place at which we are connected.

However Oneness does have its place at times.  As usual and as with all things:  Balance – [...]

The Power Of The Moon

Full moon tonight.  The moon is powerful.  It exerts its pull on us at all times, waxing and waning. If you want to know a timing cycle that actually works keep an eye on the moon. The moon ties into our sexuality and when it’s a good time to start things or just maintain things. [...]

The Zone of Manifestation

Can you create and manifest your reality? First, it’s not as easy as The Secret makes it out to be.  It’s not just The Law Of Attraction. It’s true that attraction matters.  But it’s not the whole story. The main part that is missing is the vibration of your mind.  Where are you at?  Are [...]

The Fifth Eye And The Third Eye

Have you ever tried to awaken your Third Eye?  Your Third Eye is said to be a kind of spiritual organ of perception, one that sees into the astral planes and other dimensions, and can even see forward and backward in time.  It can be a vehicle for spiritual realization, a way to connect with [...]

Magick Vs Enlightenment

Enlightenment is incomplete. (Yes, it’s that simple) This is the problem with the world of enlightenment:  Seeking spiritual realization without developing psychic and/or magickal abilities is pure foolishness. Why be incomplete? Why avoid fulfilling your true potential? Most spiritual systems are only working at one level of consciousness.  This is particularly true of most Yoga [...]

Anna Conlan Is Psychic But Sane

I’ve been reviewing Anna Conlan’s Psychic But Sane website, psychicbutsane.com. I have to say I’m impressed.  It’s very hard to find a good, grounded psychic site.  Most sites, just like most psychics, are flaky.  They are often full of bad instruction, unclear explanations, poor layout, and a wingy, nutty vibe. Not Anna Conlan’s.  She is [...]
