The lure of the unknown, the mystical, and the magical, is present during our lives at one time or another. For children this magical hope and experience of the limitless and the infinite is always a grand wonder. This wonder stays with us and transforms as we age. Perhaps we do not wish to know whether lands of fairy tales exist later on in life, and instead just want to know what the future holds for us, what our significant other is hiding, or perhaps just the winning numbers for the next million dollar cash prize.

Our school systems produce a specific work environment expectation for the future. School systems shape what the ideal future individual looks like. Read the rest of this entry »

In this blog post I would like to allude to an article that compliments my view on the importance of independence, and not just in spiritual pursuits, but in all of our actions. Every once in a while the New age will get glimpse of some powerful idea and transform it into a form of social marketing.

Making discoveries that mean something does not make them real for others. Landing on the moon is complete for the person who has done it but incomplete for one who has not. The discoveries on a personal level such as; listening to a song for the first time or learning how to speak or a first kiss; are unique to each person.

Entrainment on the other hand is a subconscious identification with roles. Read the rest of this entry »

One method of transcending limitation in language is to determine whether it is possible to have or to own something. If it is determined that there is something to have then it is interesting to attempt to let that thing go. How could this be done? Realizing that in nature all things are transitional helps us let go of them to be able to transcend materialism. Read the rest of this entry »

Intention and self-will are at the center of human experience. Intention is often transferred into meaning through language. However the intention is often lost in the process. The state of mass confusion in existence that is ruled through the scope of words rather than true intentions leads to the essence of meaning being covered in a cloud of disillusion.
