Karma – Beyond the Veil of Negative Existence and the Process of Rebirth
What’s portrayed in Esoteric texts as the “Veil of Negative Existence†can be a very elusive idea in the most basic sense because it deals with another realm of life on a higher plane of existence that’s hidden, and therefore unknown to us while living in this realm. Yet,...
Beliefs, Delusions, and the Mind’s ability to Perpetuate its Own Experiences
I’m not going to approach this idea from the conventional standpoint of attempting to describe the nature of beliefs, how we form them out of our conditioning, and the psychological process necessary for changing them, because a great deal has already been written on this subject. What I’m going...
The Nature of our “Self” as our State of Mind, and how we Create our Reality
As humans, we’re always locked into a very fundamental paradox due to the fact that we have what you might think of as two different natures or aspects of ourselves, which, when left to operate in a purely unconscious and natural way, tend to contrast and seemingly contradict each...
Symbols are Living Entities on the Inner Planes that Produce Corresponding Realities in the Outer World
If we hold a symbol of some kind in our mind and concentrate on it in a single-minded fashion, while also setting an intention to penetrate its deepest secrets, our attention serves to activate it, causing it to come alive and start unfolding as a kind of evolutionary flow...

The idea of Karma has been greatly misconstrued over the years due to a fundamental lack of understanding as to what its design and purpose is and how it functions as a form of “soul seed†for life. Many have been taught to think of life in terms of...
What is Our Higher Self, and How do We Connect with It?
The idea of our higher self can be a bit confusing to understand in the practical sense, because different spiritual systems present it differently by using different archetypes and allegories, while the relationship itself that’s being exemplified is basically the same. The most basic principle there is in regards...
The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness
The idea that life on Earth is a school for the soul that’s designed to teach us in some way can seem a bit confusing to many because we often associate this idea with our pain and suffering brought on by the constant challenges that cause us to struggle...
Forming a New Perspective, Personal Responsibility, and Developing Mental Fortitude
While many people are stressed out and engaging in the attitude of pointing fingers and blaming everyone else for what’s happening, the world situation is created as the culmination of our collective mindset as a whole. Instead of looking for someone or something else to blame, what if we...
“17” – The Star, Hope, and Rebuilding after the Destruction of Illusion
In the Hermetic Arcane of the Tarot, the archetypal idea of the “starâ€, which is Key 17, follows the “the Lightning Struck Tower†(Key 16) which represents the destruction of illusion (Key 15) and is what prompts the “the dark night of the soul†as an identity crisis that...
We Only Cultivate Spiritual Powers through Live Experiences
One of the greatest forms of self-delusion that we’re all prone to comes through our natural tendency to create a false image of ourselves as we’d like to be seen instead of as we truly are. This image starts in childhood and is set into place through our conditioning...
