Talking to ghosts

Human beings can be as haunted as houses.  Not that they are possessed or that there are entities trying to live lives through them.  But people can be haunted.  Just as placed and objects are affected by the events that occur to them and around them, so are people. …Details

Hauntings

There are plenty of ‘reality’ shows available this season for people to get their fix of things that go bump in the night and restless souls who continue to walk among us because they have unresolved issues.  Which is a gross oversimplification of the issue, but makes for good TV and dramatic effect. …Details

Vampires

I like the newer romantic vampire stories that have appeared on the market in the past 10 years or so.  I’m not interested in vampire horror movies where vampires are just raging monsters, calculating or cannon fodder, but then I’m not into horror movies in general. …Details

We all have the ability to create sacred space in our lives.  A place where we lay down the everyday world, remove our shielding and masks and relax and replenish ourselves in the numinous.  There are many places already available to us for this purpose:  temples, mosques, churches, and memorials to name a few.…Details

Zombies eat their own brains

I love me a good Zombie story. Whether it’s a movie, a TV show, a book or a graphic novel, Zombies are awesome. There are even some good Zombie music videos out there, just check YouTube. 🙂 However, Zombies do exist in the real world and it’s something to keep an eye out for.…Details

Change your perceptions

What if your life were not a linear progression?  What if time and the next thing and the next thing and the next thing weren’t guiding factor of your life?  What would it look like?  Western culture teaches us the importance of time, the finiteness of life, and that everything is cause and effect in black and white duality. …Details

Extending Your Senses

There is an exercise I like to use with my students to help them understand physically what I mean by the limitations our culture has taught us.  It helps them become aware that they can do much more than they ever thought possible. …Details
