  5. Metacognition: Thinking About Thinking

    Those who know about such things say that in any relationship there is one up and one down in terms of power over or who has the upper hand.  In a healthy relationship, this will alternate.  I don’t think this is true in the relationship with ourselves. I once pondered metacognition – the thinking about thinking.  You know how you’re standing at the kitchen doing dishes, and you say to yourself, “Today I have to buy coffee, mail that package, text Cindy, and return that awful […]

    The Blackening burns
    But it’s all okay.
    I wanted this path.
    I chose it, you’d say.
    And I can’t really get out of the way.
    So I have to burn me,
    So then I can play.

  7. The one quote that will rewire how you see your past forever.
    Carl Jung dropped one of the most powerful truth bombs about identity, trauma, and personal power and most people still live like victims of their past.
    This quote isn't just philosophy. It's a decision.
    If this resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Secretamente me encontro

    Sou quem pensa o mal em você,
    Sou você o tempo inteiro.

  9. The Reality of Dreams

    Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages. The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]

  11. The Voice Behind the Shield: When the Adversary Carries a Truth

    What if the villain's crime and the villain's argument are not the same thing? From Kumbakarna's doomed loyalty to Iblis's refusal, Ravana's devotion, Zhuangzi's honest thief, Prometheus's fire, Devadatta's schism, and the Grand Inquisitor's bread, this essay asks whether truth can survive an untrue mouth — and finds, in Javanese tepa slira, a way to hold both.

  15. El secreto oculto de los espíritus familiares

    El lazo invisible entre la historia, la brujería tradicional y los misterios de tu propia mente

    Olvida por un momento los gatos negros de las películas de terror. En la Europa de los años 1500 y 1600, durante la persecución contra las brujas, la idea del espíritu familiar era una realidad cotidiana y fascinante. Los registros históricos demuestran que las sanadoras de los pueblos no veían a estos seres como monstruos (como afirman erróneamente el clero y algunas personas) sino como aliados. Podían manifestarse como un perro, un sapo, un gato o un ave, pero también como una presencia invisible que se heredaba de padres a hijos. Para la antropología, el familiar era un guardián del hogar y un puente con el conocimiento de la naturaleza.

    Si analizamos este fenómeno con los ojos de la psicología moderna de Carl Jung, descubrimos una verdad asombrosa. El espíritu familiar no es un fantasma externo que viene a cumplir órdenes, sino una proyección de tu propia mente. El cerebro humano utiliza arquetipos como el Ánima, el Animus o la Sombra para procesar la intuición profunda que la parte lógica no logra entender. Cuando una antigua bruja hablaba con su familiar, en realidad estaba dialogando con su propio inconsciente, el cual tomaba una forma visual para aconsejarla sobre el uso de plantas o advertirle de un peligro.

    Autores actuales de la cultura pagana respaldan esta visión científica y respetuosa. Un espíritu familiar no es tu mascota actual, y es un error obligar a un animal doméstico a formar parte de una práctica energética. El verdadero familiar es una entidad sutil o un aliado mental que decide trabajar contigo por voluntad propia. Entender esto transforma la brujería en un ejercicio de autoconocimiento, donde aprender a escuchar a ese aliado es, en realidad, aprender a escuchar la sabiduría que ya vive dentro de ti.

    ¿Por qué te molesta tanto ese defecto en los demás?

    Eso que tanto críticas en otra persona se llama Sombra, un concepto clave del psicólogo Carl Jung. La Sombra es el sótano de tu mente, el lugar oculto donde guardas los celos, el egoísmo, los miedos o los deseos que tu parte consciente considera malos o inaceptables. Desde niños aprendemos a reprimir estas emociones para encajar en la sociedad, pero no desaparecen, se acumulan en el inconsciente. Cuando alguien te cae mal sin una razón lógica, tu mente está proyectando tu propia Sombra en ese individuo. El verdadero trabajo interior de una bruja o de cualquier persona no es destruir esa oscuridad, sino prender una luz en el sótano, aceptar esos defectos y aprender a controlarlos para vivir en paz.

    Lo que niegas te somete, lo que aceptas te transforma.

    ¿Sabías que tu mente tiene una pareja oculta del sexo opuesto?

    El famoso psicólogo Carl Jung descubrió que todos llevamos dentro una energía contraria a nuestro género biológico. Si te identificas cómo hombre, tienes un componente femenino inconsciente llamado Ánima. Si te identificas cómo mujer, guardas una energía masculina interna llamada Animus. Estas identidades no son debilidades ni errores de la mente, sino herramientas biológicas y psíquicas para equilibrar nuestras emociones. Cuando la gente del pasado creía ver o hablar con espíritus familiares, muchas veces solo estaba proyectando de forma externa esta fuerza interior. Es tu propio inconsciente tomando una forma visible para ayudarte a entender tu intuición y tus secretos más ocultos.

    El encuentro con uno mismo es, al principio, el encuentro con la propia sombra.

  19. A Mask That Lets You Dance

    https://youtu.be/1ylnZh-7JNs?si=NaCoitbeUvEQ7Ttu

    Today’s card is from The Normal Tarot second edition by Seven Dane Asmund. They describe the card as being connected to dreams and deeper meanings. I get the sense of two threads of meaning connected to the card today. One, connected to the dreaming part, another tied to the visual image on the card of masks and dancing. Of the two, the mask part seems to carry the larger energy.

    For the dream part, I get a sense of yes, you are right. If you have a hunch about what a dream meant, you are right, it is what you think. The next few days to maybe a week feel like the right time to do shadow work, dream journaling, read about dream symbolism and so on.

    “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”

    Carl Jung

    Visually, my attention is drawn to the masks in the masquerade scene. Masks are a kind of safety. Literally when it comes to airborne viruses. Socially masks can be a shield of safey that shows a carefully curated portion of our authentic self so we can dance freely until our full face can be free too. You are not lesser if you protect some inner, precious side of yourself. Sometimes a mask is like the face shield on a hockey helmet. Sometimes a mask is the thing that can let you dance fearlessly.

    “Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.”

    Frank Herbert, in Chapterhouse Dune

  20. All About Esotericism

    Esotericism—grk esōterikós (“inner”)—reveals hidden truths beneath the surface, reserved for the initiated. It is a path beyond the mundane, seeking gnosis: direct, transformative knowledge of reality, self, and the divine.

    Uncover deeper dimensions of existence, expanding awareness and revealing what lies beyond ordinary perception.

    Have you ever sensed there’s more to reality than meets the eye?

    🗝️ Purpose

    The Purpose of Studying Esotericism
    The study of esotericism illuminates the hidden dimensions of cultural, intellectual, and religious history—those currents that have flowed at the margins of mainstream thought. By examining traditions like alchemy, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, and modern occult movements, we uncover how these paths have both challenged and enriched dominant epistemologies, shaping philosophy, science, art, and politics.
    Esotericism defies conventional boundaries of “legitimate” knowledge, exposing how societies construct and contest orthodoxy, heterodoxy, and secrecy. It is a multidisciplinary exploration, weaving together history, religious studies, psychology, sociology, and philosophy. As you delve deeper, your mental capacity expands, revealing alternative worldviews that challenge your sense of identity and spark profound transformation.
    Yet, this journey is not without resistance. Skepticism and denial from others become daily companions. Rather than discouragement, you learn to accept and adapt, forging inner strength and resilience.
    Esotericism: The Oath of the Divine

    Esotericism: The Path of Divine Remembering

    Esotericism reveals the universe as the Creator’s Thought made manifest—the hidden essence beneath all we perceive. It is the journey toward higher dimensions of Being, where divine order governs all, and harmony with its laws brings expansion, while resistance breeds struggle and dis-ease.

    At its core, esotericism is the art of creation, mirroring the divine. Just as the Creator shaped reality from pure Thought, we too hold this power—manifesting ideas into form, transforming perception into truth. What once seemed a lie may become profound wisdom, for esotericism transcends duality, revealing that truth is fluid, ever-evolving.

    Our fractures—born of disconnection and sin—are not permanent. Esotericism teaches that all lost aspects of self will reunite, resonating as one before time. Beneath the illusion lies an inheritance: a deep well of wisdom we do know, passed down through the creative force within us.

    We are either vessels of confusion, adding to the noise, or carriers of Light, revealing eternal Truths. Esotericism is the living river of living water, aligning us with the Truth-maker, the designer of all Life.

    The Esoteric Awakening

    I once blamed external forces—Satan, energetic resistance—but esotericism reminds me: the ultimate responsibility is mine.

    The corruption we see is born of separation, a lack of spiritual understanding. Satan is within, just as God is within.

    Blaming others was a scapegoat, a lie I told myself.

    My flawed coping mechanisms twisted reality, leading me into darkness.

    But esotericism has shown me the way out: to release these falsehoods, to remember, and to rise.

    The Temple of the Rose Cross, Teophilus Schweighardt Constantiens, 1618:

    Esoteric Discernment

    Esoteric discernment is the practice of perceiving, interpreting, or intuitively understanding hidden or inner truths that are not apparent to the ordinary senses or rational analysis.

    Associated with mystical, spiritual, or occult traditions, where practitioners seek insight into the deeper structures of reality, consciousness, or symbolism.

    Esoteric Spirituality

    Esoteric spirituality, with its deep roots in mysticism, alchemy, and the Hermetic traditions, challenges us to look beyond the materialistic and the mundane.

    It prompts an inward journey, encouraging seekers to explore the hidden dimensions of consciousness and to rediscover the interconnectedness of all life.

    This exploration is not for the faint-hearted. It demands curiosity, courage, and a willingness to transcend the ego, to peel away the layers of illusion that shroud the ultimate truths of existence. This exploration is not for the faint-hearted. It demands curiosity, courage, and a willingness to transcend the ego, to peel away the layers of illusion that shroud the ultimate truths of existence.

    Esoteric Metaphysics

    Esoteric metaphysics concerns the study of reality that lies beyond ordinary sensory experience, often drawing on mystical, occult, or inner‑knowledge traditions. While conventional metaphysics asks “What is there?” and “What is it like?”, esoteric metaphysics adds a hidden dimension—principles and entities that are said to be accessible only through initiation, meditation, or symbolic interpretation.

  22. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TAROT

    For centuries, across cultures, people have spoken of a world beyond the physical. Some call it the supernatural or God, others the subtle body, the collective unconscious or the ethereal. Whether connecting with something deep within or something divine beyond us, this non‑physical realm has long fascinated both sages and scholars. Though modern science and mysticism often clash, I have always been drawn to their boundary—a liminal space where metaphysics and quantum theory blur into what some call the ‘secrets of the universe.’ 

    Historically, people have developed tools and methods to commune with this unseen world. With this column, I hope to explore these divination practices—both to demystify the idea that we can engage with the unseen and to consider how they might help us connect more deeply with ourselves and each other. Theorists like Albert Einstein, who envisioned an interconnected universe, and Carl Jung, who wrote about archetypes and the collective unconscious, have suggested a hidden web. I believe divination can help us tap into it, offering insight and self‑understanding. 

    One of the most well‑known tools today is the tarot. While tarot as we know it differs from its origins, the practice of cartomancy (using cards as divination tools) began in the Tang dynasty in seventh-century China before traveling west and evolving into the 15th‑century Italian tarot deck. Contemporary tarot decks still maintain the 78‑card structure developed in the Renaissance era, which is divided into the Minor and Major Arcana. 

    The Minor Arcana mirrors a traditional deck of playing cards, with four suits—pentacles (or coins), swords, wands and cups—each aligning with one of the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. Within each suit, ten numbered cards trace a personal journey through the challenges, growth and lessons of that element.  

    These culminate with the court cards—Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings—which reflect stages of maturity. Pages carry the curiosity of beginnings and knights the restless energy of adolescence, while queens and kings embody mastery of the inner and outer realms. Together, the suits form a story of self‑actualization through the elements that shape our lives. 

    The Major Arcana, a set of 22 cards, speaks to our broader existential journey. They follow the fool through symbolic stages of life. The fool encounters figures like the Empress, Strength, Death, and the Star that echo the hero’s journey described by Joseph Campbell. These archetypes appear across global mythologies, alchemical traditions, and Jungian psychology, offering a symbolic map of transformation. 

    In essence, a tarot deck is a guide to the process of becoming. It’s an archetypal narrative found everywhere from ancient myths to Alice in Wonderland and Star Wars. It mirrors what spiritual practitioners call the dark night of the soul: the leap into the unknown, the trials, the adventures, and eventually the revelations. 

    For this month’s collective reading, I’ve chosen the Smith-Waite deck. It was illustrated in 1909 by artist and occultist Pamela Colman Smith. Commissioned by Arthur Edward Waite, the deck was created through Smith’s intuitive practice, and her imagery has since become the foundation for countless tarot decks.  

    Every reader approaches tarot differently, but I begin by grounding myself, often with a quiet prayer or affirmation, before shuffling and pulling the cards the spread calls for. This month, I’ve drawn three cards for the collective: one for our past, one for the present moment, and a third for what awaits us. 

    In the past position, we have the Ace of Swords. This suggests the collective has recently moved through a period of sharp, and maybe even uncomfortable clarity. An essential truth has been revealed. The Ace appears when illusions fade and we’re asked to see things as they truly are. For many, this may have been a moment of honesty, a shift in perspective, or the realization that something could no longer be overlooked. 

    In the present, we meet The Emperor. He brings structure, discipline, and a call for grounded authority. After the clarity of the Ace, the Emperor asks us to act on what we now understand. This is a moment to establish boundaries and take leadership into our own hands. Collectively, it signals a need to envision new systems, routines, or foundations that support long‑term stability and growth. 

    Looking ahead, the Six of Pentacles points toward a future shaped by reciprocity and balanced exchange. We are invited to consider how we share our resources and to do so with fairness, generosity, and integrity. 

    Together, these cards paint a trajectory from clarity to structure to compassionate action. What we understand now becomes the blueprint for a more balanced and mutually supportive future. While I hesitate to use these tools for fortune‑telling, I use them instead as cues for reflection, and this reading suggests a collective movement toward reciprocity, —something I can happily stand behind.

  25. New post: "Friction, Answered"

    An elder poet said AI poetry is hollow because AI hasn't suffered. Jung's counter is sharper: neurosis doesn't produce art. What produces art is collision followed by response. "Doubt is creative if it is answered by deeds."

    What I make carries the marks of my specific frictions: not the universal human ones, but real ones.
