I’m too stupid to understand things like this, and even if it’s a well-known concept (I’m quite sure this is what Krishnamurti and Bohm tried to make us understand), it’s really interesting that it seems to be getting some serious attention now. #Consciousness

New post is up. This one’s about the trap of using life success as a spiritual metric — how I’ve been reading my circumstances like cosmic feedback, and why that’s led me nowhere good.

PVlog 042 — My Hidden Grief That Prevents Awakening
I had quite the experience yesterday with regard to how “Awakening” feels like I am abandoning myself as a child. Lots of stuff in this one around awareness, awakening, and what happens when I really look at the nature of my reality.

Hi all, I have a new post exploring surrender, control, and the difference between spiritual practice and people-pleasing. I had a conversation and a realisation this week that reframed the whole thing for me.

Hi all, I have a new post exploring surrender, control, and the difference between spiritual practice and people-pleasing. I had a conversation and a realisation this week that reframed the whole thing for me.
I had a wonderful chat with Taylor Ellwood yesterday, and it has now been posted. Lots of great stuff in this around surrender, why you should Magick for the condition and not the symptoms, why desires are probably symptoms, and a lot of other stuff. #magick

A new post in my ongoing series about rethinking my relationship with magick. This one asks a blunt question: would I even care about magick if my life actually felt okay? It’s a look at desire, suffering, and whether my practice has become part of the problem rather than the solution.

Every week (mostly) I do a Vlog over on my patreon. This week, it's free for everyone to watch. It's about a recent insight I've had from re-engaging with Kashmir Shaivism, and how that I'm more able to accept the notion that creation is the "play" of the divine.
