Can anyone recommend a good book that is both an introduction to and a guide to practically implementing it in one's life? I'd love a recommendation. @bodhidave, any suggestions?

I've always felt my spirit animal was a for several years. I've owned 2 of them, and they both met untimely ends. However, that hasn't changed the way I feel about myself. So, I wrote about why I feel that way, and perhaps, in my mind, I've already lived as one! Here is my latest article on @medium. Enjoy it for !

Magicka is a beautifully illustrated book focusing on self care through natural spiritual practices. Carlota Santos’ art is very unique and I love the classical look of the book. From Herbalism to Astrology and Tarot, the explanations are clear and simple.

'If you don’t break your ropes while you’re alive,
do you think
ghosts will do it after?

Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for
it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that
does all the work.
Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.'

🙏 Weekly Prayer Requests 🙏

Lately, I have felt called to pray on the behalf of people who feel like they could use a little spiritual support.

If you would like me to pray for you, please comment your name or nickname below.

If you wish, you can also add some context if you'd like me to pray for you for a specific reason. Otherwise, it'll be a generic prayer for prosperity, wellbeing, happiness, and spiritual guidance. I'll pray for you once a day from today until next Tuesday. 💕

‘Who these days writes aphorisms?

Yahia Lababidi is keeping this art alive today — in times when morality is misunderstood and misappreciated —

Clearly a mystic with direct insight into the nature of reality, he simply manages to inspire.

A striking read that is a beautiful companion for anyone with a reflective nature!’

There is a reason why the Greek word "pneuma" means both "breath" and "soul." This is part of my personal gnosis on the matter:

When you inhale, you're not sucking the air into your lungs: You're contracting your diaphragm and expanding your lungs to create space. The resulting decrease in pressure is what allows the air to flow into and fill the space created.

Exhalation is much the same, only in reverse: By contracting your lungs and relaxing your diaphragm, you close the empty space in your lungs, pushing the air out as it has no where else to go.

Spirituality and religion are much like inhalation: When you make space for the Divine, Spirit will flow into your life like air into your lungs, easily and effortlessly.

Why do the heights require the suppression of appetite?

Why do poets, musicians, mystics and saints use askesis in various ways?

Voluntary hunger is a road to heaven."

‘True revelations are granted by Grace.

They are soft whispers, often in the desert; or the wilderness; in prison or in quarantine.

They come from a small still voice in the wilderness…’
