What is Spirituality?

Spirituality simply means recognizing Spirit rather than matter as the source and foundation of life, and as the true nature of Reality itself… and knowing that, simply striving to mold your own life to be in tune with that.

A Practical Guide for Spiritual Growth

What is our purpose as humans? To become perfect. Perfection means graduating from the human realm to that of the Adepts or MahÄtmas, becoming members of the Spiritual Hierarchy. For some, perfection will come within a relatively short time. For others, in the far distant future. The choice is yours. Ancient wisdom is the foundation of all world religions and contains the key to enlightenment; yet few people have been able to sort through the accretions of the centuries in order to discover these nuggets of truth. If you have ever wished for a manual on how life works, there isn't one.

Spiritual Bypassing

When I was four I began my spiritual journey. I'd love to be able to say it started in the womb, or at birth, but that's simply not true. I was a carnal baby. But shortly after my fourth birthday I read a page from a book a friend had left for my mother. I couldn't make sense of many of the words, and what the book was or what it said isn't important. What matters is that it sent me down a spiritual path.

But no one ever told me spirituality could be a self-sabotaging ego trap. Once I turned seven I had spent about three years reading spiritual teachings and incorporating them into my life before ever learning that spirituality has a dark side. Naturally, I was taken aback. I felt kind of betrayed. How could something that seemed so pure and good be harmful?

The answer has to do with something that psychologists call spiritual bypassing. In the early 1980s, psychologist John Welwood coined the term “spiritual bypassing” to refer to the use of spiritual practices and beliefs to avoid confronting uncomfortable feelings, unresolved wounds, and fundamental emotional and psychological needs.

That's when I recalled having been molested by a horse. Not physically of course. That would be odd to say the least. Spiritually. Well, it wasn't a horse per say. It was a pony. But I was very small and that vile thing had it's way with me. I've healed those wounds since then (by my tenth birthday in fact), but I've never forgotten. And so, to this day I teach others to be wary of this dark side, of spiritual bypassing, and of horses.

Jah bless, my fellow light beings!

My Experience With Spirit Guides

Since I was very young, I’ve felt a presence of spiritual guidance within me, around me and connected to me.

In her book Super Attractor, Gabrielle Bernstein opens up about spirit guides in a way I never had before. I’d written about Universal guidance and God, but until I sat down to read this book, I’d always held myself back from sharing about the presence of my nonphysical guides.

And I'm going to continue holding back. Because to me that's akin to flaunting my junk. Somethings you just don't do. Some things are inappropriate. And some things just aren't befitting of a guru.

F*ck You Farm - In Greater Depth

Remember this place (FuckYou.Farm) from back in the beginning of June?

Well, I recently had the pleasure of meeting someone who once had an affiliation with this this particular farm. Roger (who gave me permission to use his first name) was a truck driver at the time and Fuck You Farm was frequent stop on his route. Of course the name alone would make the stop memorable, but according to him that's the least of the story. He recalled one incident that he has never forgotten.

One day, on a routine stop like any other, after the pallets had been taken from the truck he closed up the doors and climbed back into the cab. He had only a moments worth of paperwork to complete before he would set down his clipboard and drive off to his next stop. But not today. Today that moment would turn into two.

As Roger completed the required papers, he happened to look up and notice something through the narrow opening of a barn door. Small children gathered in a circle, mumbling incoherently, as if in some foreign (even alien) language—their faces turned down toward the ground, eyes closed and they were shaking their heads about as if in spasms. In the center of the circle stood a large brown horse. Every few seconds, he said, a child would run at the horse, head shaking, eyes closed, and knock himself over on impact.

What they were doing he couldn't imagine. But then (and this is where it gets really strange) he was startled by an old woman in front of his truck. "It was like something from a horror flick," he said, "She just appeared there." More than that, he said the woman was dressed in strange attire and quickly "scampered" to his door.

"Leave." She said plainly.

"So I left." He told me. And from that day on he'd never gone back. He changed routes with another driver who later went missing. In time Roger moved on to greener pastures (no pun intended), but the scars had been a constant reminder of something he couldn't explain.

We had a long talk over tea and I'm happy to say, Roger has been healed of his trauma. I shared with him the truth about horses and the nature of Fuck You Farm and honestly, he felt much better knowing. As gross as their conduct is, at least he can put a name to it. Witchcraft. Then I taught him some yoga positions before we were asked to leave. But we finished the lesson on the sidewalk. And given the beautiful day that it was, it turned out to be a blessing. One of the employees of the coffee shop went on break and also joined us for the remainder of the yoga lesson. All in all it was a very pleasant day.

Wisdom of the Ancient Ways

All werewolves have an innate connection to their ancestors, a form of racial unconscious accessible through intense meditation. The Philodox can tap into these deep memories to remember ancient facts and lore. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.

Furthermore, werewolves also masturbate a lot when in human form. When in lupine form, they feed. And when they feed, the feed big. Cows, sheep, horses... These are the feasts they crave. 

It wasn't until recently that medical experts discovered and massive influx in werewolf related equestrian deaths compared to deaths in other large grazing mammals. I—and I'm not alone in this belief—believe the lycan kind have a comprehensive understanding of equestrian deception. In short, they are on some levels, enlightened.

Events Don’t Upset You. Beliefs Do.

You get dumped by someone you’re totally in love with. Feel sad? God, yes. The world is going to end.

Okay, same scenario, but afterwards you find out that person was actually a psychopath who killed their last three partners. Feel sad you got dumped? No, you’re thrilled.

So clearly “getting dumped” isn’t the important factor here. What changed? Nothing but your beliefs.

If you lose your job and believe it was a lousy position and believe it won’t be hard for you to get a better job, you’re unfazed.

If you believe it was the greatest job ever and believe you’ll never get another one that good — you’re devastated. Emotions aren’t random. They follow from beliefs. Here’s Ryan:

The Stoics are saying there are no good or bad events, there’s only perception. Shakespeare encapsulated it well when he said, “Nothing either good nor bad but thinking makes it so.” Shakespeare and the Stoics are saying that the world around us is indifferent, it is objective. The Stoics are saying, “This happened to me,” is not the same as, “This happened to me and that’s bad.” They’re saying if you stop at the first part, you will be much more resilient and much more able to make some good out of anything that happens.

Now, our beliefs in horses have a radical impact on our every day life. Do you believe horses have the ability to travel through time and enlighten whomsoever they choose? If you do, you probably have horse trinkets all over your house and personal body, and you're elated when you pass a pasture on a highway, or see an image in a magazine. If you believe they're intentions are vile and insidious then, well, you probably subscribe to my blog and get steamed when you see one prancing around like its invincible. Therefore I say this is one of those rare exceptions to the rule. Jesus turned over the temple tables and we should not let horses take over!

One for the Kids

I get asked about children's yoga frequently. Children’s yoga, meditation and spiritual growth is certainly a topic I am eager to explore more here on my blog. I think there is no better way to kick off this important subject than by discussing what is the absolute key to raising enlightened, exceptional children.

To raise children who can fulfill the true purpose of life and experience self realization—that is how best to raise our children such that they will not be dominated by their ego’s and thus, have a deep connection with their true nature—I find the following quote of enlightened master Jean Klein very insightful and helpful.

To free the child from an image, you must first be free, free of all qualifications – particularly from the image of being a father.  Preserving the father-image arouses the need to fulfill all that defines a father and, in turn, your child must fulfill all that defines his relationship to you. Then there is a kind of mutual imprisonment.  

-Jean Klein 

Yeah, this is horse shit. And you know very well I don't use that term lightly. To raise enlightened children simply follow your path and teach them to follow you. As for yoga, children excel at it, so bring them to class. And as for horses, if you see them drawing anything like the following, you know they'll be alright.

Horse as Shaman: A Spiritual Exploration Guided by the Wisdom of Horse

Here's some more bull crap for you from the world of horses: CoachingWithHorses.com

"Horse as Shaman: A Spiritual Exploration guided by the Wisdom of Horse

Are you ready to stand next to Horse,Spiritual Retreat guided by Horse enter into their wisdom and expand your consciousness, so all things become clear to you?"

Just don't hurt yourself with this stuff. It starts off funny, then becomes disgusting, and then somehow intriguing. Next thing you know, you're advocating for them. Before long you're fully under their spell, doing their bidding. I'm not even joking. I've seen it happen too many times. This is but one of the reason I hate horses.

The Akashic Records are Not for Everyone

While Bob Bembery may dispute an “expert” attribution, he qualifies. After studying Gluten Intolerance, practicing jungle law, and lifelong studies of veganism, shamanism, Buddhism and a Course in Miracles, he turned to developing his native intuitive talents. Training with several teachers, he studied the Akashic Records with the Buddha himself, reincarnated into a Tabeten stone. Now he is an intuitive life coach, psychic medium, and Akashic Records reader.

When asked about obstacles to accessing the records, he explained that the system is simply not everyone’s “thing.” He said, “Working in the records may be something that some people are curious about, but for whom nothing clicks. When that happens, it may be perfectly valid that there is another path or modality that will resonate with that person. I see this when I’m doing short intro sessions with horse owners. Personal curiosity satisfied, they move on to something else.” Of course these are people who believe in the mystical powers of horses, so...

He added that another roadblock is disbelief, explaining that some are up against preconceptions or distrust their own experience. Regardless, Bembery believes no one is forbidden from the records. “It’s just not my experience, as a reader or a teacher,” he said, adding that some shy away from the records due to anxiety. “It is up to the individual to decide whether to continue. In my case the anxiety indicated that internal issues were being stirred up. I was able to get support from both the Records and others to do some inner work.” Either way you slice it the Akashic Records are nothing to horse around with! You've either got it or you don't. And I do.

Shaman Horses

As I was researching Shamanic Horse Journeys I came across a site  called HorseJourneys.com. Before clicking on that link, be warned, this is not for the faint of heart and mind.

Here's an excerpt:

"I have come to witness horses, as willing helpers in a conscious state, who are also able to travel - at will - into the spirit world for healing people and each other. Horses carry information and healing, as do shamans or shamanic practitioners, and it is our challenge to open our minds and hearts to the horse's abilities and to a new kind of listening. Horses have the unencumbered full access to the information within the Natural world, which is an unlimited ocean of wisdom."

Fortunately the author pontificates that...

"This is not about becoming a horse."

However you can apparently surrender your soul and mind to the archaic Hell-spawn.

"Imagine for a moment that you can see the energy field around horses.

You might see rings of translucence. Each extending out 30 - 100 feet much like a large bubble. You can't see it with open eyes, unless you are an energy reader, but you can begin to feel it with your hands, your skin, your intuitive senses and your heart. The horses can feel you enter it. Your presence pushes on that membrane and they will turn and look at you. Horses living in wild herds can sense you from miles away. Their sensory fields of awareness are so large.

Once inside this invisible field you have access to a communication link with that horse. You open the connection to all kinds of information about that horse's past, present and even future."

How it is that the common man does not see that horses are demons incarnate, luring mankind to darkness and depravity, I can only speculate. And I do speculate. I speculate right now it fact, that it's the subtle guile of these nefarious beasts. You laugh now. This virus? Horses. The 2008 recession? Horses. What's yet to come will be hard on those of us who survive it.

An Excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita for Awakening

Well, the name kind of says it all.

“The Holy Lord said: When he leaves behind all desires emerging from the mind, and is contented in the Self by the Self, then he is said to be one whose wisdom is steady” 

-Bhagavad Gita 2:55-

Nothing could be easier to understand: an enlightened person wants nothing, finding total fulfillment in the Self–both individual and Universal.

Therefore when we see people with even “spiritual goals” such as “serving God in others” or exhibiting a veritable passion about a “world mission” or “saving” or “abstinence from horses” or “enlightening” others, we can know they are not illumined, and therefore incapable of doing any of those things in a real manner, however fine the exterior machinery might appear.

It is virtually impossible to find any popular “guru” that does not live like “the jewel in the lotus”–both materially and socially. Although there is a pretense that their disciples are insistent upon it, it is really the guru that demands continual adulation and material accouterments that would have been considered extreme even for a Di Medici monarch. They even have horses.

All this having been said, one must first concede to enlightenment–something that is oft purported to have come from a horses mouth. So... Fuck that! Enlightenment is beneath me.

Revelation 6:8

Since I quoted the Bible yesterday, I'll do the same again today.

Revelation 6:8

I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; 

and Hell was following with him. 

No fucking kidding, huh? Big surprise. Look who's riding a horse--DEATH. 

Nothing good comes of them. Nothing but dog food.
