Many "Evolved" sorts resist Social media and the funnel system (what is often called funnel marketing). But before you back away, think about it - the funnel system is simply offering your ideas or products or services or workshops along a range of price points
In this post we are going to discuss the spiritual consciousness or our soul. Spiritual consciousness is completely different then social consciousness or awareness. Being conscious of social issues is important but knowing your own consciousness is more important.

I have been a killer and I have been the lover,
I have been the sick and have been the healer
The shaman is by no means the chief of the tribe. He is the one who is somewhat removed, even commonly living separately from the rest of the community. This person has the responsibility for the spiritual well-being of the group. Shamans are intermediaries between the human world and that of the spirits.
This event will integrate both the intuitional practices of Tantra, the contribution of Tantra in human history, and the alternative non-enemic social, economic and political paradigm of the Progressive Utilization Theory, for the wellbeing of all life on Earth, and beyond. (more)
Integration, experiencing both sides of global reformation
I see all around me a last minute struggle against reform. The great winds of change are blowing fiercly on a group of people in fear of the next step.The energy of the planet is moving faster and faster, many trying to grab the last bit of "material control". But the control is an illusion, it will never be attained.
Since the beginning of the year, the 11th of each month has felt…well, different. After the Japanese earthquake, I was sure I wasn’t the only one feeling the 11th. So I googled it and found the 11th of each month described as vibrational portals leading to 11-11-11. On 4-11-11, I felt compelled to hold ceremony so I called up Grandmother Kathy and took her to the beach.
As we go about our day, the world seemingly teems with activity and actions that are outside ourselves.

Having just got back from the Alchemeyez Visionary Arts Congress in Hawaii, aside from riding the good vibrations, Alchemy and the Transmutation of my reality tunnel/local universe has been constantly on my mind. The event is inspired by Terence's Alchemical Arts Gathering held in 1999, seven months before his passage into the bardo...
Through out my life, exploring the ‘unknown’ to derive some sense of understanding to it, the question of what comes following my death has been an obvious fascination as I am sure it is for most living beings.
I sat in the darkness of the maloca waiting, massaging my stomach. I could feel things moving inside me, but other than that, my perception seemed normal. The acid taste of Ayahuasca lingered on my tongue like thick, rancid Vegemite.
“Expectations are limitations” Mateo, a facilitator at the temple, had told me in preparation for my first ceremony, “There are no rules.”
I’ve recently been made aware that there are two very different viewpoints on what awakening actually means. No doubt there are more than two. I wouldn’t include my personal take on awakening in either of the illustrations I’m about to explain so that would be three already! These particular two opinions seem to be at odds with each other.
