deeply spiritual firmly grounded

As of late I’ve been thinking about what it means to lead a spiritual life that infuses your everyday actions. What kind of work can you do under that premiss? How can you learn to control yourself in such a way as to never do harm to another?

I’ve also been reading about science’s efforts to create religious experiences. Using technology, there’s quite a body of evidence that suggests we can assist in creating transendental states.

Is your Brain on God



Creating Out of Body Experiences

Spend more time focusing on the concrete practice of living. Integrate...

It’s easier to live in fear and chronically escape. Put just a little bit of trust in the universe. It always comes with just that little leap of faith.

I accidently ended up having lunch the other day with Dj Kooki without realizing who he was until about half way through the meal. I asked him how he got started being a DJ. How he made his leap of faith? He told me and he also told me how crazy everyone thought he was when he did it.

Strangely enough our paths had crossed once before at a Throb (record store) when Zach (resident music geek) had given him my record. I’d forgotten him completely. As I left, he reminded me our meeting wasn’t chance and that things always happen for a reason. I agreed and left.

Dreams
I’m walking along a path that’s craggy and desert like. There’s a priestess in front of me but I can’t see her face. I am kinda chasing her. She’s telling me the path my life will take and the trials I will face. She says, “The way will be rocky, but you will get there. There are tests along the way.” Suddenly we are in field of dead red birds. I’m over come by sadness. I check each one to see if it’s actually gone and find a black bag. Looking inside I find one living baby bird. I take him out and begin feeding him the way mother birds do - chewing worms and feeding him. I’m over come by compassion and wonder why or who could do this to such a lovely creature. The sage reappears. She said I just passed the first test.

I had a dream the other day that I was playing poker and was dealt a full flush minus one card. The queen of clubs was missing and I was waiting for her to come as the cards turned. She did and I had it. A Royal flush from 10 to Ace.

This sketch is of the Heart Eater Universe

Recently, I’ve revisited the Heart Eater and his universe and for that I am going back to the very first sketches of this character.
