Een Unieke Meditatie voor OCD: Gibberish!
https://youtu.be/oPa27betfH4?si=bxAbNRsVSdR3TW0l Vandaag doen we in het Innerlijke Laboratorium een oefening die er op het eerste gezicht wat vreemd uitziet. Je sluit de ogen, opent de mond en begint te spreken zonder iets te zeggen. Er worden geen bestaande woorden gebruikt, er ontstaan geen zinnen die ergens naartoe leiden en er wordt geen verhaal verteld. Je … Continue reading Een Unieke Meditatie voor OCD: Gibberish!
Beyond Forest Bathing: What Happens When the Landscape Begins to Answer Back?
Forest bathing and ecopsychology have done something important. They have helped restore our capacity to slow down, step out of the relentless cognitive machinery of modern life and become present in nature again. That sounds simple, but it is not. Much of the time we move through landscapes without really perceiving them. A forest becomes … Continue reading Beyond Forest Bathing: What Happens When the Landscape Begins to Answer Back?
The First Blueprint how Magick could be created and how it works
Our central proposition is magick may become intelligible if we first understand how a trained mind gains access to a structured imaginal field, allows content to arise there, distinguishes reception from deliberate construction, and subsequently learns to operate within that field. A Blueprint for the Architecture of Imaginal Practice For centuries, descriptions of magical practice … Continue reading The First Blueprint how Magick could be created and how it works
Imagination as Interface: Western Esotericism and the Ultrasubjective Hyperspace
When the French scholar Antoine Faivre (1934–2021), one of the founders of the academic study of Western esotericism, tried to identify what was characteristic of esoteric thought, he did not define it by a particular doctrine, secret teaching or occult practice. Instead, he described a recurring form of thought. His model became highly influential in … Continue reading Imagination as Interface: Western Esotericism and the Ultrasubjective Hyperspace
TWIM- meditation: Four Stages, One Recognition: Reading the Ariya-Puggala Model From the Lab
The Theravada model of the four stages, stream-enterer, once-returner, non-returner, fully liberated, is one of the few contemplative maps specific enough to actually test something against. Ten fetters, removed in a fixed order, each with a description precise enough that a practitioner could in principle notice whether it is still operating or not. That specificity … Continue reading TWIM- meditation: Four Stages, One Recognition: Reading the Ariya-Puggala Model From the Lab
Why machine elves during DMT? The Great Mystery Solved!
In February 1966, a 19 year old Terence McKenna was sitting in a house in Berkeley when someone handed him a glass pipe containing something that looked like orange mothballs. He asked what it was. DMT, came the answer. He asked how long it would last. Ten minutes, he was told. McKenna took it. Within … Continue reading Why machine elves during DMT? The Great Mystery Solved!
New Landscape Holistic Project, Part 12: Advanced Landscape Meditation: Peripheral Vision, the Witness and the USH
There is a point in landscape practice where simply walking attentively is no longer enough. Once we have become familiar with the basic phenomenology of a place, with its paths, boundaries, changes in atmosphere and the way the body responds to them, we can begin to alter the manner in which we perceive the landscape … Continue reading New Landscape Holistic Project, Part 12: Advanced Landscape Meditation: Peripheral Vision, the Witness and the USH
From Plato to Jung: The Long Search for the Inner Landscape
Anyone using words such as consciousness work, inner transformation, visualisation or breathwork today is entering a territory much older than modern psychology. For more than two thousand years, Western culture has contained a continuous undercurrent of philosophers, mystics, alchemists, physicians and magicians trying to understand how human beings can change themselves. Their language differed enormously. … Continue reading From Plato to Jung: The Long Search for the Inner Landscape
New Landscape Holistic Project, Part 8: Phenomenology and Entering the Landscape: Memory, Imagination and the Participatory Field
A Phenomenological Approach to Natural Landscape Cognition A landscape is never encountered as a neutral arrangement of forms. The moment we step into a place, perception is already entangled with memory, expectation, bodily state and imagination, so that a forest which feels protective to one visitor can feel oppressive to another, a mountain can evoke … Continue reading New Landscape Holistic Project, Part 8: Phenomenology and Entering the Landscape: Memory, Imagination and the Participatory Field
