Devotion of Thought
Monday, July 5th, 2010“Devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes it possible.”
If I take that to heart and truly believe in it, would it not be reasonable to have the belief that (if considering the possibility that I brought on my fibromyalgia by my thoughts) that devoting my thoughts to removing it would be possible? It’s time to reflect on my faith… and reflect on the word itself. Do I have faith that I can reverse or remove my “condition”? I must!
Christian Science
Monday, June 28th, 2010In the interest of research purposes for my thesis, I decided to attend a Christian Science service to experience it first-hand. It was unlike any service I have ever attended – an interesting mix of Christianity and Metaphysics. One quote in particular stood out to me:
“Devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes it possible.”
Masters Thesis
Monday, June 14th, 2010I’ve finally selected my topic for my Master of Metaphysical Science Thesis: Christian Science.
You Can Heal Your Life
Monday, March 16th, 2009|
“What if with every thought you think, you are actually creating your present and future.” – Louise L. Hay The first time I saw this amazing movie, I was with a wonderful group in Vancouver, Spring of 2008. When you wake up every morning to the scent of the sea, and a view of the majestic mountains, how can you not be inspired to watch spiritual movies? Furthermore, having my first introduction to Louise Hay in a soulfully beautiful environment only added to my interest in the concepts of which she speaks. This weekend past, I invited some friends over for an evening of raw food and metaphysics and watched You Can Heal Your Life again. The thought that I still marinating over: “Am I really ready to change?” The answer is YES, I am willing to change! |
The Lightworker’s Way
Monday, March 9th, 2009|
Doreen Virtue’s book rank among my favourites – although I’ve ready and thoroughly enjoyed Healing with the Fairies, Angel Medicine, and Goddesses and Angels, I had yet to read their prequel, The Lightworker’s Way. Virtue shares many intimate details of her life growing up and describes her upbringing within the Christian Science tradition, the social struggle to “fit in” during her adolescent years, and her eventually journey to become a writer – one with a pan-spiritual view (blended of Christian Science, Religious Science, Eastern mysticism and spiritual principles). I certainly do not agree with all that Virtue proposes, but I have the utmost respect and admiration for her unwavering trust in herself – something which I certainly aspire. |

Quotes I have heard all of these before, but reading them again was a wonderful treasure for my mind – sometimes the memory just needs a little jog. “So in life, some enter the services of fame and others of money, but the best choice is that of these few who spend their time in the contemplation of nature, and as lovers of wisdom.” – Pythagoras (570-490 BCE), “The Father of Philosophy” “The Way out into the light often looks dark, The way that goes ahead often looks as if it went back.” – Tao Te Ching “Life is something spiritual. The form may be destroyed; but the spirit remains and is living, for it is the subjective life.” – Paracelsus (1493-1541), alchemist and physician “If spirits really exist, and if we all live in One Mind; and if mentality can communicate with mentality without the aid of the physical instrument, then spirit communication must be possible!” – Ernest Holmes, founder of The Church of Religious Science and author of The Science of Mind. |

Ghostbusters: Defining my Education
Monday, February 9th, 2009I find myself in a bit of of a metaphysical pickle. Having finally consented to signing up at the American Institute of Holistic Theology, I find myself torn between the holistic theology and parapsychic science programs. I suppose I find the PS program to be a bit more “in the clouds”, hence my indecision. However, based upon my preexisting religious knowledge, I suspect I would be rather bored by the BSc. Theology program as the most interesting courses don’t come until the M or PhD level. Besides, I think there would be something rather fascinating about having a degree in PS – as a youngster, I was quite intrigued by Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters!
The Alpha and the Omega
Monday, November 10th, 2008Some years ago, I had a small tattoo of an Alpha and an Omega (Classical Greek letters) placed on my upper back. Little did I know that this had religious connotations: Revelation 1: 8 in the King James Version, when the phrase “I am the alpha and the omega” was used.
Having been raised Roman Catholic, I fell away from my church in those rebellious teenage years, feeling it had little to offer me and that perhaps there was something else. Over the years, I have had many experiences in this arena: attending Baptist and Pentecostal services (there is something particularly appealing to me about the charismatics), visiting Buddhist templates and a Sikh Gudwara, and reading about Witchcraft and Paganism. I decided to do some post-graduate work at WLU in Religion and Culture – Asian Spiritual Disciplines, The Historical Study of Jesus, Psychology and Religion, and Cults and New Religious Movements. What I learned from all of this is that, putting aside some of the NRMs which I studied, a case can be made in favour of all of the major paths of belief in the world. I don’t think there is a correct or an incorrect answer – I certainly don’t have one, and I’m comfortable with this.
Now, at the onset of my research into my thesis for my Masters of Metaphysical Science, I realize that I am stumped for a topic. Maybe I should attempt a synthesis of all of the major world religions and see what I can come up with? It would be reminiscent of the story of “Stone Soup“.
