AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT I’ve spent a great deal of time painting out mysticism to be some sort of Bizarro World view due to how difficult it is for our minds to grasp. Mystics apply a sort of backwards logic similar to Alice through the looking glass that doesn’t exactly translate into words. That being said, […]
WHAT ALCHEMY REALLY IS Alchemy is defined as the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir. Once the word pops up most people instantly imagine some mad scientists standing over a cauldron whispering […]
SOPHIA- WISDOM Awakening the Goddess within is what ultimately set me on my course. I had no clue what awakening even meant at the time. What I thought I was doing and what actually happened are two different things. I thought I was cracking Solomons’ code not embarking on a spiritual journey. For me, true […]
INFINITY The interesting feature in several of Bruno’s drawings is a sideways 8 that resembles a serpent coiled across itself. This feature has been prominent in several cultures throughout ancient Persia, both Greek and Minoan artwork and is believed to have its roots in Egyptian serpent worship. The reasoning behind it being drawn in a […]
MODERN MYSTICISM One of the biggest problems skeptics of religion have is how open ended and vague a lot of scriptures tend to be. Since the whole realm is open to interpretation modern minds tend to pick apart ideologies and consider people of Faith to be a bit backwards, or ignorant. While most believers are […]

In a mystics typical fashion he believed that everything was made of but one substance in a constant state of flux: A sort of fire/soul substance we […]
WHO I AM IN CHRIST Over the past several weeks I have received a fair amount of backlash from people within the Christian community who feel that my walk with God is somehow under scrutiny by human beings. That I am somehow against God because I don’t interpret the Bible according to their own idea […]
MY SPIRITUAL PATH So many of us struggle with spirituality. We tend to shy away from the conversation and downplay our own beliefs out of fear of offending one another. Most of our society has renounced religion altogether and has taken a more modern approach to morality that relies heavily on philosophy. While this 21st […]
DEFINITION Mysticism: (1) the experience of mystical union or direct communion with ultimate reality reported by mystics. (2) the belief that direct knowledge of God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be attained through subjective experience (such as intuition or insight). The idea of having a mystical experience seems incredibly magical to most of us […]
ELEMENTUM The great philosophers of ancient Greece wrestled with the really large questions in their attempt to understand the true nature of reality. In modern times the debate rages on as we struggle with the understanding we are both the observer and the observed. If quantum mechanics has done anything for philosophy it’s help shape […]
