Get Rid of Goals
I’ve noticed a synchronicity lately with regard to the idea of “goals”. At the very time when I’m feeling some personal frustration at not meeting some of my important goals – two of my favorite bloggers, Steve Pavlina and Leo Babauta, are posting about the idea of reducing the importance of goals in our life. [...]
Meditating While Driving
Like many people, I never seem to have the time I’d like for meditating and spiritual development. I’d like to begin each day with spiritual practice, but sometimes I’m running late and don’t get to it. Since I have a long commute, I’ve sometimes tried to listen to meditation tapes while driving, but this can [...]
Inception – a Review
All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream – Edgar Allan Poe So I went to see Inception last night with most of the family. First a general review. It was an excellent and entertaining movie. It combined espionage, science fiction and action with mind-bending psychological and metaphysical elements. I [...]
Independent Bishop Excommunicates Pope
As you may or may not know, Pope Benedict recently directed that anyone who attempts to ordain a woman to the priesthood, and any woman who is ordained, is automatically excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. In response to that, my bishop, Bishop Lewis Keizer, presiding bishop of the Home Temple, formally excommunicated Pope Benedict [...]
The Joy of Being Wrong
I was browsing around this morning and ran into a rather grim article over at the Boston Globe titled How Facts Backfire. It highlights psychological research which uncovers the interesting pattern that when people are deeply committed to a particular opinion, showing them facts that prove them conclusively wrong doesn’t change their opinion. It actually [...]
Integral Spirituality
Integral Spirituality: A Startling New Role for Religion in the Modern and Postmodern World – by Ken Wilber. I’ve read this book several times now, and need to return to it periodically to incorporate more of it’s insights into my thinking. I’ve previously explained that Ken Wilber is probably the most comprehensive thinker around. His [...]
A Gnostic Experience
I usually don’t share my meditation or religious experiences, but I had an experience this morning so powerful for me personally that I wanted to attempt to record it and share it. It was an encounter with God unlike any I’ve had. It began with my reading last night of some passages from Karen Armstrong’s [...]
Get an Esoteric Library and Sponsor a Worldwide Blessing
I’ve previously written about the founding bishop of my order, Lewis Keizer. He is, bar none, the most knowledgeable writer and teacher on esoteric subjects and the mystery traditions of anyone I’ve ever met. Bishop Keizer has dozens of books, courses and lectures available at his site, and presides over an independent order of priesthood and several [...]
Hardwiring Happiness – Srikumar Rao
A wonderful talk on happiness by a very clear and lucid presenter who is completely new to me, Srikumar Rao. I’m certainly going to check out more of his material. I ran into this on Ted.org, but the video there was of lower quality so I’ve linked back here to the original. This was apparently [...]
Exploring the Fifth Dimension – Parallel Universes, Teleportation and Out-of-Body Travel
Exploring the Fifth Dimension – Parallel Universes, Teleportation and Out-of-Body Travel, by Dr. Bruce Goldberg . Today’s review is for a much more esoteric book than I usually include on the site, but I’m sure that there are quite a few readers who, like me, will be interested in it. I first heard Dr. Goldberg [...]
