Religion and culture as art are beautiful. Religion and culture as truth are dangerous. Both religion and culture rely heavily on our shared mythology, dramatic tales of heroic accomplishments, ancient teachers and powerful gods. These stories are an answer to a subconscious stirring within all humankind. They are a poetic representation of the dream and the hero's journey within [...]

Little did I know the significance of watching Bugs Bunny as a child or reading Alice in Wonderland, nor the depth that I would somehow glean from these archetypes. Then a couple of years ago I used to joke that my power animal was the bunny - only to find that the place I ended up living has a giant bronze [...]

A child is lifted up and its mother says, into the mirror, "That's you honey," and the child takes that information in, relative to itself and its mom. But is that image really the child? Are you what you think that you see in the mirror and what someone tells you that you are? Is that image in the [...]

The Void, The Nothing, The Womb, The Great Mother, The Sublime Feminine, The Great Mystery, The Tao, The Yin. This is the True Darkness...get over it. It is part of who we are; it is the source of who we are. We have been misguided for thousands of years to fear the dark. In many ways, this was a [...]

"I can't believe that this has come up again. I thought that I had worked through this." Lightworkers often seem surprised about personal issues that keep popping up. This is because much of the work around inner issues is ritualistic at best, meaning that it is only representative of what actually must be done. Or a person may ask [...]

What is Within?

We hear the word "within" used a lot to describe an experience that we should be having but, what does it really mean and, for that matter, where exactly is it? Obviously, the body is made up many things -- skin, cells, bones, blood, organs, etc. Then you have the brain, an even more complex operating system of bio-electrical pathways [...]

You can not become any kind of warrior in a weekend period. Warriorship is based on lifelong consistency. A true warrior learns to harness the mind, body, spirit, soul and essence; ergo The Quintessential Warrior. There are truly no external battles; war is waged and settled within. If you conquer the self, you conquer the illusions of the world. The [...]

Sedona Tragedy: The Quick and The Dead – The James Arthur Ray Investigation

I started on my path at the age of 5; 42 years later, I know of no way to short cut it! It is hard and consistent work. Notice that I didn't say "Spiritual Path" or "Way to Enlightenment," because I don't even feel that those are where we are going or what we are doing. I certainly [...]

Nothing At All!

By Hanakia Zedek | Published: September 1, 2009
I have moved myself through the things that they speak of The mind and refined it to the point of uselessness The body; I have found its use as a space ship to traverse this The spirit to the attention of the inner workings of nature to hear it And the soul if I be so bold....that which to [...]
