Whenever I go into a new place for the first time, be it a public space or a private one, I like to get there before the big crowd shows up. If at all possible, being there alone is preferable. In that time, before the rolling froth of individuals churns through the aether, I can […]

Around and Back Again
Just this past weekend, while on my way out of a party for a friend of mine, I was stopped by a lovely young woman. “I know you,” she said. “From where?” I was curious as I had noticed her a little while earlier and couldn’t shake the feeling that she seemed a little familiar. […]

Metaphysical Monday: Serendipity
I’m a big fan of the idea of serendipity. In fact, I kind of count on it to keep my life interesting. So far, I haven’t been disappointed. I’ve stumbled into most of the great things in my life–my relationships, my jobs, my most interesting ideas and experiences–almost always while looking for something that, at […]

Metaphysical Monday: Why a Metaphysical Framework?
This is just a quick thought, something that can (and will) be developed and explored a little more fully as time goes on here. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a man of science as well as a man of faith. One foot in each world, as firmly planted as I can manage. That’s how it’s […]

Metaphysical Mondays: 5 Reasons Why You Walk the Path
There are a near infinite number of ways to come to walk the path of an Initiate. Some are drawn to it by life events and an innate craving for something more. Others stumble upon it, not fully aware that they’ve even begun until they look back on the lessons they’ve learned. Among those myrid […]

Metaphysical Monday: 93
I find it oddly symbolic that my graduation year is also one of the key numerological conecpts in one of the many metaphysical systems I’ve looked into over the years. For me, the number represented an amazing change in being. A freeing from many of the things that held me back from knowing–let alone being–who […]

Death: A Personal Encounter With The Adversary
In the past thirty years, I’ve died at least three times. These deaths I speak of are not a physical death. No, they are more of a metaphorical death followed by a glorious return to a whole new life. It is the death of one version of “I” and the beginning of a new “I”. […]

Know Your Enemy, Know Yourself
“You are your own worst enemy” is an old saw, without question. But like many of its ilk, it holds more than a grain of truth. Nothing can mess with us more than our own mind. And here it is important to note that the mind is different from the brain in this context. The […]

Reconciliation
We are all made up of a multitude of different parts. I’m not talking physical parts here–I’m talking the ethereal parts that are just as, if not more, important than our physical base. We have different moods, different hopes, different fears and different attitudes. And we don’t always want or need to share all of […]

On Divination
Fortune telling and prophecy are staples of any story that involves the supernatural. The classic soothsayer predicting victory or death, the traveling Gypsy turning the cards and seeing the future, even the Biblical prophets passing on notes from the Divine to people who don’t always get quite what they mean at the time, these are […]
