...where the Two become the One
The pseudoscience of the modern age began with the elimination of three out of Aristotle’s four causes. Only one, causa efficiens, the cause of motion, was retained. As a result, the object lost its three dimensions — the eidetic, the hylistic, and, above all, the entelechial. The object ceased to be determined by its spiritual meaning, its malleable connection with the elements, and lost the goal of motion, which synthesized […] Read more »
In a previous article (from 2016) titled “Exoteric vs Esoteric Spirituality” I talked about how many spiritual teachers are focused on external actions and reality as a means of becoming more conscious, rather than on developing a rich internal world obtained through cultivating one’s thinking via shadow work, self-reflection and self-assessment, deconstructing limiting beliefs and poor logic, increasing knowledge, especially self-knowledge, conscious arguing, and processing emotional upsets as they arise.

Blame is a big problem in the world, and we see a lot of it from the political left when they blame rich people, white people, men, bigots, homophobes, transphobes, anti maskers, anti science, etc., and at it’s core is envy, what Nietzsche called “ressentiment”. It doesn’t solve anything, it just interrogates and tears things down, deconstructs them, but has no creative drive, and doesn’t offer any meaningful solutions. Unfortunately, […] Read more »
I just love the Critical Drinker and his manner of presenting thoughtful ideas in such a brash and irreverent tone. His series “Why Modern Movies Suck” is great, and this is the third installment in the series. I’ll probe deeper into the underlying psychology of what he has identified as a problem, below. In a nutshell, Hollyweird is intentionally engineering a deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance into people, and […] Read more »
This is what masquerades as empowerment, activism, and purpose—which is shallow if you ask me. What they’re far from grasping is that personal power comes from mastering ‘the why’, which is principle of casualty. Impulsivity and indulgence are not powerful at all, but demonstrate quite the opposite—a lack of understanding—which is power. Power comes from mastering the principle of causality, and nothing else. It can be equated to an internal […] Read more »
Are you cause, or are you effect, in the material world? If you still think that your actions are what make a difference in the world, then you are still an effect, but if you have learned to integrate and neutralize your emotions, and have altered or are currently altering the core mind patterns responsible for your life, then you are well on the path to being cause. We do […] Read more »
Free will is the effect of the alchemical marriage, and we gain more free will as we approach it. Just as the alchemical marriage is a process we work towards, we work towards free will in our process. Our current free will is in our choice to process our way to the alchemical marriage. This lines up with the mystical text the “Kybalion”, which states: The majority of people are […] Read more »
Are you cause, or are you effect, in the material world? Are you a game player, or merely a pawn? If you still think that your actions are what make a difference in the world, then you are still an effect, but if you have learned to integrate and neutralize your emotions, and have altered or are currently altering the core mind patterns responsible for your life, then you are […] Read more »
Cause is power, and power is cause; it is either inside-out, or outside-in. A powerful being is cause over others, whereas an empowered being is cause of their own life from within. Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause. ~The Kybalion, the Sixth Hermetic Principle of Cause & Effect Mastering cause and effect is a very difficult task, as there seems to be many different interlocking beliefs […] Read more »
What is the actual definition of power as it pertains to the Mystic? Gray power? Dark side power? Light side power? Occultists version of power? Learn more as I discuss power in this short but powerful video! Read more »
When we speak of personal power, we are speaking of the ability to operate on the plane of causality, which requires understanding. Some people realize that they are defeated and know that they are just an effect at the whim of others more powerful than they. Or they like to pretend they are cause through their distractions, addictions, politics, family life, hobbies, competitive sports, job, financial situation, video games, etc. […] Read more »
The Merovingian in the “Matrix Reloaded” movie is a metaphor that represents the Merovingian dynasty and bloodline, a powerful Elite family that has ruled much of the earth from behind the scenes for countless generations. What is alluded to in the “causality” scene from the aforementioned movie is that the power gap between the Elite and the common people is their grasp on “the why”, also known as “causality”. Put […] Read more »
Logic, also known as logos, is the tool we use to discern and filter the truth from the myriad of lies. If something is illogical, also known as a logical fallacy, it cannot be true. The truth can be known, and logic is the tool we can use to find it, and then align with it, but without logic, it is impossible to be in the truth. Those who state […] Read more »
