Charges, Spirit, Cosms
I had second hand smoke in my shirt and sinuses last night, and I find myself trying to sneeze it out. It’s been a windy weekend, leading to a cold week next week. Last night, as we left [a small po’dunk town], I had the chance to look at the constellations above for a few […] … Continue reading…Charges, Spirit, Cosms
Old Poetries, Faerie, Finds
I saw the wind blow oak leaves from trees like a shower of gold in to the autumn sunlight, and I felt panic for the trees, losing so much so fast—I felt sadness that soon the trees would be bare—no soughing, only the wind against my ears—and wonder at the sight of the rain that […] … Continue reading…Old Poetries, Faerie, Finds
Dream & Persistence
It’s night again, early as the year winds down, and I dreamt of new versions of Hardûun: mazes as I tried to avoid killer, demon-possessed robots, but I even went into the maze because I felt I had to. More, I was in space, so there was a nominal dream vacuum outside. But it became […] … Continue reading…Dream & Persistence
Attention, Bruno, Freya
I found myself fretting and feeling that gnawing fear-obligation in regards to [work], and I fought that off, as well as I could. It’s a consuming fear mingled with guilt and obligation and more. And I wonder, Why do I feel guilt and fear—and the fear of shame. I’ve been thinking about what CC calls […] … Continue reading…Attention, Bruno, Freya
Otherworldly Mind, Seasons, Tunneling
I feel far better today, and my sense of sliding into an Otherworldly mind is even more present. It’s like I’m gliding along the edge of awareness of the Otherworlds and what I do within them, what I do that I’ve only have felt fleeting impressions of previously. It’s almost as if feeling like shit […] … Continue reading…Otherworldly Mind, Seasons, Tunneling
Rhythms & Attention
It’s a chilly, rainy day today. As I went on the path last night, I noted the rhythm of K’s conversation with me, and I noted today while walking the rhythm of my walk, the sounds and traffic, the wind, etc. I’d noted the rhythm of my thoughts and the Otherworlds. K acknowledged this. I […] … Continue reading…Rhythms & Attention
Immersion, Practice, Energy
I’ve thought about that thread and light off and on today, and I find myself thinking about contrasts. I can see Elethis more easily with clouds in the sky, but less so with clear or cloudy skies. Immersing myself in the light makes the scene somewhat visible rather than just white light. I hate forgetting […] … Continue reading…Immersion, Practice, Energy
Hardening, Softening, Desire, Anger
K and I looked through he Otherworld through [Elethis] last night—the woods seemed fractal at times, as if I were looking at the same tree & ground around it, with Elethis in the distance. At others, I could pause and try to see more detail, acclimate to the world much as Dunn suggests. Bruce Lee’s […] … Continue reading…Hardening, Softening, Desire, Anger
Elementalism, Self-Possession, Visualization
I’m feeling anxious about applying for the […] position—and that’s making me short-tempered about things today. I’m anxious about an interview, about the day of the interview and its logistics, and about getting the position—I worry about having to become someone I don’t want to be for the position, but I’m not [doing this one […] … Continue reading…Elementalism, Self-Possession, Visualization
