Bodhipower—yours to use or abuse
Left to its own devices mind is constantly on self-destruct alert. It is always living on the periphery of life, neglecting its absolute center which houses the antidote–the only means of avoiding that self-destruct button. The mind needs to re-code … Continue reading
The Primordials
The Primordials are spiritual benefactors who will never let you down and they will guard you in all your ways. They always have your back and are forever ready to intercede on behalf of the most diligent of adepts. Their … Continue reading

Crowd Control
It’s becoming increasingly evident that the individual is no longer relevant in the eyes of today’s increasingly sick society, rather if one speaks one’s mind then one is ostracized, even worst condemned, and shut-down in the eyes of the politically … Continue reading
