Two Epistemologies of the Body 1. Yoga as a Way of Knowing Yoga has never been merely a system of exercises. At its core, it is a discipline of perception.

The Enneagram as Dynamic Vortex: revelatons after a Sufi Shake
The "Work" of Gurdjieff often operates on a long time-horizon; I danced the "Movements" of Gurdjieff long ago and perhaps this has planted a rhythmic seed in my motor memory.

What is Meditation?

The spiritual box does not always look … Continue reading Signs You’re in a Spiritual Box
Endogenous DMT: The Hidden Bridge Between Phosphenes and Hyperspace

For decades, explorers of consciousness have wondered why certain states — deep meditation, breathwork, near-death experiences — seem to unlock intense visions of light, tunnels, fractals, and archetypal realms so vivid they rival waking reality. … Continue reading Endogenous DMT: The Hidden Bridge Between Phosphenes and Hyperspace
Meditation and Unusual Experiences!
When Unusual Experiences Happen: How Can We Talk About Them? Have you ever had a strange experience that didn’t quite fit into the usual boxes of science or psychology?

Phosphenes can be enhanced by Sound: intersection of Nada Yoga and the Yoga of the inner Light

I have experimented with phosphenes quite some time now, in silent meditations, in hypnogogic sleep and during meditative music. Phosphenes, the subtle light … Continue reading Phosphenes can be enhanced by Sound: intersection of Nada Yoga and the Yoga of the inner Light
