"Do you believe crystals have energy that can be...
All matter is an expression of energy. Some forms, such as crystals and metals, serve as better conduits than others. For example, quartz has piezoelectric properties commonly employed as crystal oscillators in watches and clocks to keep precise time.
In holistic healing, many forms of quartz and other crystals are known to hold certain properties that will yield a beneficial effect in the...

nothingxmuch replied to your post: Everything is beautiful and no one is happy.
The sad reality of spirituality is that we are not immortal to its aims, and time will force mysteries to continue elsewhere, or lose connection. Life is not about unity with the unknown, but realizing we must fulfill discovery in untapped fragments.
Well put. I think there is merit to both sides in what you present,...

Everything is beautiful and no one is happy.
I am not blind to the wonder, I marvel at it all around me, but when my inner reality is not reflecting its beauty, the dissonance in the flow of life throws me into existential free fall. If I were to paint this emotional terrain, only desert and quicksand would greet my plummet into the inexorable abyss. This state of emergency circles around brilliant moments of epiphany illuminating from every...

Oops
That awkward moment when you hit enter in the wrong chat window on an entirely innocent but easy to misconstrue message. But when does a missend ever not sound debaucherous?

Anonymous asked: I stumbled upon your blog while reading up on Mr. John Dee (an image of the sigillum dei aemeth lead me here) and have found myself unable to navigate away from it since. I've ended up spending hours here, roaming through the digital manifestation of your consciousness and simply wanted to say before I left it that you have a truly beautiful mind. Should things in your life begin to turn...

Teaching a Stone to Talk →
foucaultscat:
neotoma-cinerea
It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave. It is hard to desecrate a grove and change your mind. The very holy mountains are keeping mum. We doused the burning bush and cannot rekindle it; we are lighting matches in vain under every green tree. Did the wind use to cry, and the hills shout forth praise?...

To Dance Is A Radical Act →
Dance for the span of the universe that you are. All we are, as humans, is a span of flesh and consciousness. We each are a tiny swath of the universe where whatever energy it is that composes the universe is alive in us, as us, coming to life through us. The movement of life expresses itself in every movement we make. Every movement we make shapes that energy, gives it form, and sends it along.

Just when I think I have caught up
…I am already gone, chasing shadows and afterimages. Is it that I am never present, or ever present and only able to perceive one point in space and time? Both are simultaneously true and false. Paradox is in our nature and my mind does enjoy uncomfortably working itself into these impossible places. If only the I ahead could reach back and shake out such abstractions. Somewhere between...

Interview With a Ketamine Chemist
Underground neuropharmacologist discusses his phantom limb inspired work with dissociative designer drugs.
There are medicinal chemists who work on an unseen side of the pharmaceutical industry. Like their legally sanctioned counterparts, they work to synthesize drugs they hope will produce therapeutic effects in their users. But they do not work with billion-dollar budgets or advertising...

Some days I feel like an old CRT television, still humming in the residual glow that lingers after the power has been cut.
