“Buddha taught no-self incomplete, according to the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra”
I have encountered practitioners of the no-self teaching who claimed the sutra to be a forgery. I admit that the main reason I enjoyed the sutra so much is because it resonated with all my previous beliefs about enlightenment when I first read it. It may not be authentic, but I suspect the main reas...

My short story, "the Tragedy of Jonathon," was published today
This short story has occult elements, is grounded in a certain occult philosophy. I wrote this quite some time ago, and am pleased this magazine was willing to publish it even after I already told them I free published it on my websites / blogs. Here it is: https://www.pikerpress.com/article.php?aID...

Short Story I'm Working On About 666
I have mentioned this short story in a couple of different places, including my website. One reason I'm writing it is to cover the kind of complexity that could muddy the waters on the subject of innocence or guilt with astral espionage. A Nazi Satanist conspiracy, a minority within an immortal elit...

Re: Speculation? What is Christianity... What is religion?
I think of Christianity as a diverse variety of religious traditions that thinks of Jesus as God and worships him. I consider religion the product of that humanity experiences a generalized sense of love for other than friends/family, for society, and objects (such as objects of nature, plants and d...

Re: Astral Networking
fear/insecurity is the primary inhibitor of success. In a perfect world, it would be possible for a partner to telepathically inhibit fear and program in an identification of success. Most are stuck with their own efforts of concentration and self-hypnosis to achieve these ends. In astral form, or j...

Re: Interrogation of intruder's soul
I have had similar suspicions about things like alien abduction: staged by humans with supernatural abilities, and perhaps futuristic technology.

Well there's no such thing as a fool proof system. Thank you very much for the warning. I don't think sociopaths and psychopaths are "the top of the pyramid," at least not the only top. I think it is mostly people who only care about their own family and friends, and are basically sociopat...

I suspect it is possible to look backwards, into an infinity of change, and answer the question, "But if random, how all this sophisticated life?" (A) because infinite opportunity amounts to pretty good odds even when something seems implausible. If the God classically depicted existed, th...

I am not personally looking to astral network with anyone. Just throwing the idea out there. Astral Travel, /mind reading, offer incredible opportunities in networking. It is possible to ask the potential member a small set of questions, and get the honest answer no chance for deceit. Questions like...

An occult vampire fiction
I recently published this in the Halloween edition of Blood Moon Rising Magazine:
"Psy Mission"
There is an attempt at a mapping of possible occult hierarchies, and a theory of reincarnation. It is of course intended as pure fiction.
