Sant Kirpal Singh on Meditation: "When traversing into the higher planes, the soul experiences Light and Sound. The first step, of course, is to withdraw from the physical body and be 'born anew' into the Beyond. You will be able to go along the Way inside if you but follow the instructions implicitly which were given to you at the time of Initiation." (Unpublished Letters)

EarthActivistTraining.org Magic for Challenging Times with Starhawk April 16th to May 21st ,2025 Six Sessions, 5:30 to 7:30 PM Pacific Starts this Wednesday, April 16 Participants in this series will learn and hone a variety of the skills needed to create a sustaining personal practice as well as craft and lead rituals in a wide variety of settings. In addition, we’ll explore how we can weave magic into secular situations to help create deeper bonds of connection, enhanced solidarity, and the ability to face repression with confidence and courage. Magic, according to occultist Dion Fortune, is “the art of changing consciousness at will.” That’s a definition that can serve for meditation, personal growth, or political change—and never have we needed magic more! The tools of magic and ritual can deepen our awareness, enhance our consciousness, create a sense of belonging and help us face together those things that are too hard to face alone. They can help us stay grounded and sane in the midst of chaos, design actions and ceremonies that unite our communities in this time of stress and fear, process our grief and despair, and strengthen our will to create a world of justice and compassion. I hope you'll join me.  -Starhawk

T.S. Eliot: "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality."

How wonderful is existence, to be one of the many emanations of a world always longing to know itself again whether in the skin of a frog, a rock, a rose, the sky, or me! We give and take and feel and think and breathe in all in our infinite variations and ever-living connectedness. Each of us has never been before and will never be again, and through us the world delights anew.

And what sweet, dark peace when this form, too, crumbles away, like a wave upon the rocks spraying back into the vastness it was always part of. What bone-deep surrender in relaxing back into the Oneness, releasing that lovely fleeting illusion of individuality like a butterfly that you may admire and enjoy, but never clutch in a crushing grip.

Bless the illusion that is life and the dream that is death! What is has always been and always will be. You are One and never alone, vaster than the limitations of your current form could ever dare to understand and you are forever. #TootEssay #Buddhism #Daoism #mysticism

(4/4) I know that I’m parroting platitudes, but we need to think creatively.

In one of her writings, #HannahArendt described #WalterBenjamin as being like a pearl diver, bringing old stones to the surface and seeing them in new light.

Benjamin couched his #Marxism in #mysticism, and was able to see more creatively than others. We need more Walter Benjamins.

At the same time, we need to get over negative critique and begin developing a positive vision. #Solarpunk is only the first step.

Hello mastodon, apparently, a post is called a toot? So let me toot an #introduction for ya.

I’m an #artist with imposter syndrome. I still feel weird calling myself an artist but people have paid to buy my art so I think I qualify, lol.

I’m a lover of #astrology #spirituality #occult #mysticism #philosophy and #psychology and I do tend to inject aspects of these into my art.

I’m running out of characters to use. I hope my first toot smelled fine, lol.

I type “lol” a lot cause I see humour.

An illustration of a floating virus with a yelling mouth, infecting a bunch of people who look and act the same staring down looking at their phones completely oblivious.

How can our art & activities hold space against a tide of ignorance & hate?

I expect we're going to see a lot of persecution, esp of women, of people who reject puritanism & RW christianity. It would not surprise me if men starting accusing other spiritual paths of being "witchcraft."

They intend to force their cult onto everyone, using police state violence.

Our art can speak up.

Manifestation Mysterium Wish-craft or witchcraft? Simple Witchery™ Jan 2 https://willowr.substack.com/p/manifestation-mysterium Witch was not a name any healer, midwife, herbalist, soothsayer or other woman with gifts ever chose. It was an accusation, leveled by men of fear and greed. The accused were midwifes bringing new life into this world. They were healers, at the besides of the sick. They stood witness to life passing into and from this world. They were herbalists, wise women, soothsayers, and mystics. It wasn’t witches that were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered. They were just women, and I believe the common thread woven through all of what they did, all of what we now call witchcraft was and is desire—the desire to help, to heal, to create something better than what we have. ...In witchcraft, thought-forms are energetic beings created by a witch to perform a desired task. For example, creating a force field for protection... Further, there is constant debate over whether curses are real, or only effective if the person cursed believes it’s real. Aside from witchcraft or magical thinking, there is a hypothesis that everything of our world exists only in our thoughts. Our existence & experiences are but a figment of our own imagining; we ourselves are pure thought, creating the world we wish to inhabit. ...it opens a door for me to wondering how much of what I believe to be true & irrefutable is only a result of the thoughts I form around it?
