Stress and Stillness: The Science of Not Reacting in the forum Meditation Practices & Techniques 1 week ago
Meditation doesn’t make your boss less demanding, your finances magically improve, or your past disappear, but it does change your relationship to all of it. One of the most profound shifts that happens with regular practice is that the world around you stays the same… and yet, it no longer shakes you the same way.
Studies have shown that con…[Read more]

Laura replied 1 day, 10 hours agoStress definitely accounts for some of my struggles with meditation. I’m always busy, exhausted, and burnt out, and meditation feels like yet another thing I have to do when I try to do them consistently.

Mentors, Not Meds: Why Guidance Matters in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 week ago
I wish more people understood that spiritual awakening doesn’t always look graceful, it can look like panic attacks, dissociation, crying for no reason, thinking you’re going crazy. I was that person. And I had no language for it, no elder, no guide. Just fear and isolation and that awful feeling like something was breaking open inside me and I d…[Read more]

Dragons from the Sky: Ancient Symbols of Cataclysmic Comets in the forum Ancient Cataclysms & Human Cycles 1 week ago
This actually blew my mind a little 😮💨 I’ve always loved dragons but thought of them more like archetypes… tying them to actual cosmic events like comets hits on a whole new level. Imagine surviving something like that and trying to pass it down through generations, you’d wrap it in myth too.
So yeah… maybe dragons are real. Just not how we ex…[Read more]

Children of the Spirit: The Elder and the Newborn in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 week, 1 day ago
In many indigenous traditions, it is said that the very young and the very old are closest to the spirit world. Newborns have only just crossed the threshold into this reality, their senses still tuned to other frequencies. Elders, especially those nearing the end of life, are already beginning their return. Together, they form bookends of…[Read more]

The Shaman’s Death: Ego Dissolution as a Rite of Passage in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 week, 1 day ago
In nearly every authentic shamanic tradition, the path begins with death—a symbolic death of the former self. It is a collapse of the old identity, often initiated through illness, emotional breakdown, visionary crisis, or overwhelming spiritual insight. What dies is the illusion of separation. What’s left is something raw, open, and attuned to…[Read more]

Laura replied 3 days, 20 hours agoI’ve experienced much trauma. I’m still experiencing trauma. My self changes frequently, but I’m not sure I’ve had an ego death yet. I feel like I never had much of an ego, but do define myself in the ways you described above – married mom of 3, homemaker/homeschooling teacher, 40, etc

Mentors, Not Meds: Why Guidance Matters in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 week, 1 day ago
In traditional cultures, when a young person starts hearing voices, having visions, or going through overwhelming emotions, it isn’t immediately pathologized. It’s often seen as a sign of calling, a spiritual emergence. Elders recognize the signs. Instead of suppressing the experience, they guide the person through it. They stay close and explain…[Read more]

Laura replied 3 days, 20 hours agoI’m medicated for multiple mental illnesses, but I also recognize that I’ve been called. I haven’t had a true mentor, but have followed a couple of Shamans to learn more. I do wish I had a mentor to help more though.

Malcolm Bendall’s Plasmoid Unification Model (Video) in the forum Modern Aether Physics & the Source Field 1 week, 1 day ago
Anything involving aether physics, including tapping into the zero-point field, depends entirely on geometry, because geometry and resonance are essentially the same thing. In Bendall’s work and other field theories, we see that the structure of space itself determines the movement of energy. Learning cosmic geometry doesn’t have to be com…[Read more]

Dragons from the Sky: Ancient Symbols of Cataclysmic Comets in the forum Ancient Cataclysms & Human Cycles 1 week, 1 day ago
In nearly every ancient culture, the dragon appears as a central symbol of chaos, destruction, and transformation. But what if the dragon was not merely a mythical beast, but a cosmic event? Not imagination, but memory?
Comets have long inspired dread and awe. They arrive with no warning, a streak of fire slashing across the night sky. When they…[Read more]

Laura replied 3 days, 20 hours agoThat is really interesting and I could totally see the symbolism. This whole group has been enlightening today, but I haven’t had any real thoughts on it before the dragons, beyond knowing the topics to be true.

The Root Center: Inner Spark, Safety, and Purpose in the forum Energy Centers & Inner Currents 1 week, 1 day ago
Yes… I do struggle with this center. There were things that happened in my early life that left me feeling like I didn’t belong in my own body. Like it wasn’t safe to be here, or to be me. For a long time, I lived in my head, in my thoughts, and in meditation, because it felt safer up there than down in the body where all the pain and fear lived…[Read more]

The Breath Center: The Current that Feeds All Currents in the forum Energy Centers & Inner Currents 1 week, 1 day ago
This is such a beautiful teaching… and it reminds me so much of what we practice in meditation. Even a breath can be a form of offering if it’s taken with clarity and care. When I sit in meditation and bring my attention to the breath I feel everything calm down. The thought that breath is related to intent is interesting and rings very true.

Who Were the Sea People? in the forum Ancient Cataclysms & Human Cycles 1 week, 1 day ago
I never really questioned the mainstream version of the Sea Peoples before, I just assumed they were raiders. But reading this, something clicked. What if they weren’t destroyers… but witnesses? People who had seen their world collapse and were trying to carry forward what little they had left? I keep thinking about how much sacred knowledge has…[Read more]

Reawakening Our Forgotten Past in the forum Ancient Cataclysms & Human Cycles 1 week, 1 day ago
This resonates so much… especially the part about Egypt being a restoration, not a beginning. In Buddhism, we have this idea that teachings appear, disappear, and reappear across kalpas. The Dharma isn’t lost forever, it sleeps. Then, when conditions are right, it wakes up again through the minds of those ready to receive it. I think human soc…[Read more]

I’ve felt the shift building for a while now. It’s like the noise of the world is getting louder, but underneath it there’s this deeper current rising. More people are waking up, asking bigger questions, letting go of old frameworks. That’s a sign to me.

Cosmic Earth: Gaia’s Place in the Multiversal Net in the forum Earth & its Caretakers 1 week, 1 day ago
Loving the stuff about how Gaia has a role in the multiverse I mean we all know how important she is in our solar system as the only inhabitable planet (Mars just isn’t as good, sorry!) but in the universe and in the Net she’s not just like any other planet, she’s a major point in the whole thing. Treat the planet with respect guys!

Egypt was all about metaphor. Yes I fully believe it was a map for interdimensional travel, something people are only starting to realize again. They had a complex understanding of the soul body and all of its functions.

Cosmic Earth: Gaia’s Place in the Multiversal Net in the forum Earth & its Caretakers 1 week, 2 days ago
That is wild but totally resonates with me! Not gonna lie, staying positive is hard some days. When I see the fires, the oil, the plastic choking her rivers, it breaks my heart. But I remember: she is not fragile. She is powerful. And she feels everything. So if I cry for her, I cry with her, and then I get up and love louder.
