Religious Insignia
In another world, they recognize that spirituality involves a confluence of spiritual images that work for the unique sentient entity—and there are billions of them, just like here on Earth. That is to say, they’ve passed the historical evolutionary period when people presumed to know what the Divine “was” and how it should be properly […]
Reverence for Life? Wowsie!
Albert Schweitzer said that was his goal, and I sort of idealized him. Albert Einstein, too. If I could be like them then maybe my Mom would have been satisfied. She was channeling the mores of the mid-20th century upward-striving middle class, for which nothing was good enough. I was suffering from feeling not good […]
Sam Hurt’s “Eyebeam”
I enjoy this cartoon strip, and it has a number of sub-plots, themes that involve a variety of the main character’s friend. One of those that I especially enjoy is “Hank the Hallucination,” about which the following is shown: I enjoy the author’s evident enjoyment of the idea of hallucinating, which, although a sign of […]
Shree Yantra (plus commentary)
A common theme that I play with is the Sri (pronounced Shree, for “holy”) Yantra (or special meditative design) that I draw to center and relax, thereby opening whatever channel then allows me to become more spontaneous, to be inspired. It’s a fine symbol of whatever there is in the Beyond for me to open […]
Silly or Profound
I wobble between silly and serious, crazy in a nice way and profound. For example, I am attuned to other dimensions where I open my mind and “channel” writing that I am intuitively somewhat able to translate. Or perhaps I’m just making it up unconsciously—confabulating it. (Look up my comments on confabulation in an associated […]
Society for Metaphysical Ontology
I am proud to announce that I have been nominated for membership in the category of “initiate” of the the Society for Metaphysical Ontology. SOM. Oh, you want to know what this society is? It’s a society that promotes the notion of existence for that which is metaphysical, or beyond the ordinary physical. Humanity in […]
Sorta-Kinda 4th of July
On the planet I come from—just kidding, for those who get uncomfortable in the presence of insanity—they have an equivalent holiday for Independence Day. Everyone gets together and instead of shooting fireworks, they collectively bud fleezels, mandala-like protuberance-studded cartwheels. Fun, if you like that sort of thing. Meanwhile, the “flag” (so to speak) stands at […]
Spectro-Psychography
This is a neologism, a word I’ve just made up: So far it’s not on Google. It refers to the consideration of the ways mental phenomena can be viewed as a continuum, with different areas possessing different qualities. These are innumerable and I invite you to play. Send me your ideas and if I like […]
Speculations of Trans-Dimensionality
I think we live on the surface of a multi-dimensional being-process. That is to say, we are the skin of at least one facet of God, and we are needed as much as our body needs a skin! These deeper dimensions are hinted at by our dreams, which reach into higher dimensions. They partake of […]
Springtime Adventurations
Riding my bicycle around the larger neighborhood, about a 5 mile loop, noticing that on the heels of Daylight Saving Time we’re warming up (literally) to the Vernal Equinox, when the night-length equals the day-length. That adds up to Springtime! (Which reminds me of “In Just-spring” by e.e. cummings. ) Those lil’ buds on the […]
Sprites: Resonant Energy Fields
The category of faeries, elves, brownies, pixies, trolls, and other imaginary “little people” are not “people” as we think of them, but rather more like resonant energy fields. They can change as your mind changes, for the positive of negative. They have no form exactly, but take on the characteristics of which kinds of attitudes […]
Sri Yantra as Metaphysical “Organism”
Some abstract things become enlivened by our minds contemplating them. That’s how our clapping can bring Tinkerbelle (the fairy in Peter Pan story) alive. The Sri (pronounced Shree) Yantra is a pattern imagined by many contemplatives in India (South Asia). It has become alive or active or serves as a force—as angelic dynamics do—when enough […]
Sub-Atomic Anatomy
“Big fleas have little fleas upon their back to bite ‘em, And little fleas have littler fleas, and so ad infinitum.” So said Augustus de Morgan—also similarly, Jonathan Swift in the 18th century. They were more right than they knew. God is so great that our whole universe of three dimensions of space […]
Textures of Reality
This in from Zordak: Part of the reason we travel among the dimensions is that it is just so wondrous and thick and interesting! The tiniest event in your reality resonates with layer upon layer of circumstance. The history of each element that led to that even, the stories of the elements that went into […]
Textures of Reality (Number x-1)
Beyond mass, energy, time and space, there is also mind—but that opens up to innumerable frames of reference. The point of all this is that the dimensions aren’t merely geometrical, but they suggest moods, paradoxes, questions, excitements, confusions, self-deceptions, illusions, and all sorts of other things. In another reality, I haven’t figured out how to […]
That Explains Everything
“A camel is a horse designed by a committee.” So it has been said. I was pondering the mysteries of the universe, the riddles of existence, and my friend Zordak (the extra-terrestrial buddy who visits from other dimensions, too), reminded me of Universe #9&$(x-1)! , which, he assured me, was not a cuss word, but […]
The “Higgs” BosOMMM
Now there’s a totally weird theory that the mass of the cosmos is generated by a field that was described by some fellow named Higgs. Last summer they found evidence to suggest he was right. Sort of. But the idea that mass is generated by a imperceptible field is so counter-intuitive as to seem ludicrous. […]
The “Physiology” of the Ultimate
Not that I have a clue, but yet, yes, some hints. The following mandala expresses this intermixing of order and disorder, structure and chaos. The cosmos celebrates spontaneity and diversification. It mixes DNA in a profligate fashion. (What a great word, “profligate.”) This intrinsic, organic reality needs to become a core part of a more […]
The “Real” Easter Bunny
The real Easter Bunny is a Christianized image of embodied Grace. In itself, it is neither a small furry rabbit, nor does it lay or give eggs. What it is, I imagine (and you must realize that I am only imagining and have no factual knowledge of which I speak), is a visualized archetype, an […]
The Boze Higgs-on
If you haven’t heard of the Higgs Boson, it’s the particle representative of a theoretical field that gives the cosmos its mass. Never mind the near-inconceivability of this. Some very clever dudes conceived it and we are inclined to believe they know what they’re doing. Truth is, though, that they do and they don’t, in […]
The Bubbling Multiverse
In one sense there is indeed a Universe, as the ultimate God, the Everything Becoming, includes in its one-ness all dimensions, minds, potentialities, etc. But it’s a universe that is much vaster than the three-dimensions of space in which hundreds of billions of galaxies spread over inconceivable distances. This universe of space and mass and […]
The Bunny Blatners
Tumpy Bumpkin and Bumpy Tumpkin are the Bunny-Blatners who live in a little tiny house under a tree next to a meadow by some trees bordering on a sweet little stream with froggies and such living in it. That’s their address. You ought to be able to find it. Sometimes, though, they forget who is […]

The Burning Bush
Humans have a problem with clearly interpreting certain revelations that transcend their language / culture / conceptual systems in terms of what is known. For example, when Moses in the Bible encountered what perhaps he interpreted as a “burning bush that is yet not consumed,” and heard the voice of God coming from it, what […]
The Crockensoon
When I was 14 (in 1951) Phil Harris sang a funny song on the radio titled “The "Thing,” which triggered my imagination. I cartooned and made up a back story about the discovery of this “Thing,” which was in fact a Fantasmous Crockensoon, a being of extraordinary something-ness. Intrepid Explorer Professoroid Norbert Q. Hackenthorpe (notice […]
