Why Visionary Art Matters
1. Visionary mystical experiences are humanity’s most direct contact with God and are the creative source of all sacred art and wisdom traditions. The best currently existing technology for sharing the mystic imaginal realms is a well-crafted artistic rendering by an eye witness.
2. Mystic visionary artists distill the multi-dimensional, entheogenic journey into externally crystallized...

When You Have a Bad Day →
When you have a bad day
Be Kind. Treat yourself as kindly as you treat someone you love on their bad day.
Cancel things. If you have a jam-packed calendar on your bad day, do a little shuffling and give yourself room to recover.
Keep things in perspective. This to shall pass. Instead of getting lost in the drama of your bad day, remind yourself that you’ll be feeling better soon.
Call a...

mnmlist: living for everyone else →
A lot of people don’t do minimalism because it doesn’t seem realistic for their lives. But what they often mean is that they don’t want others to think they’re weird.
Wearing the same clothes every day might seem weird to your friends and co-workers. Having no car might make you seem like an oddball. Not having a smartphone might make you uncool. Living in a small home or an RV might make...

Mindful Eating as Food for Thought →
By JEFF GORDINIER
Published: February 7, 2012
TRY this: place a forkful of food in your mouth. It doesn’t matter what the food is, but make it something you love — let’s say it’s that first nibble from three hot, fragrant, perfectly cooked ravioli.
Now comes the hard part. Put the fork down. This could be a lot more challenging than you imagine, because that first bite was very good...

Scorpio Woman: Psychology
itsastrological:
Scorpio is imperious. Her brand of superiority complex rivals Leo man’s. Like frozen Persephone, she can be rigid, icy, and expectant of others to do her bidding. Her sting manifests when faced with strangers, of whom she’s almost pathologically leery.

Virgo Woman: Psychology
itsastrological:
Virgo may suffer from emotional blocks and arrested development. She can be highly neurotic, particularly about familial ties, to which she often clings. Easier said than done for her to be of service, as she is often overly dependent on siblings and plagued by resentments over loved ones’ successes. She can be a fair-weather friend, appropriating the mannerisms of people whom...

1. Past… Judgement by Luis Royo (off ‘The Labyrinth Tarot’)
When Judgment appears in the past position, you made a big decision to go along with one way of thinking. This might have been in your youth or it might have been a few weeks ago. This card does not guarantee that you made the right decision. Your current foundation rests...

Will (To Be Done before Meals)
The first of these is the instruction on conscious eating. What better correlation than to link the body’s need for food with the Aspirant’s will to attain? Using the handle of a knife, your index finger, or knuckles, tap the table three times, then five times, then another three. If dining with another, this is conducted as a dialogue. If eating by yourself, you may adapt it as a...

The 9-5 Guide to Staying Active →
1. Move.
Any motion is better than no motion at all. That’s the core idea behind each of these tricks, and that’s the biggest bullet point worth incorporating into your daily routine.
Your job might demand you spend a lot of time in a chair. You can’t always change that, but there’s nothing stopping you from doing your best to work within those (admittedly comfy) constraints.
2. Set a timer.
