Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Utilize natural forces to put your design on the world. Woe to the creative person who neglects their relationship to the creative muse. If the muse wants to work through you, then you owe it to yourself and the world to follow through and bring the creative inspiration into manifestation. No other human generation has…

We live in a world where the feminine values, like maternal nurturing, are often woefully lacking. You do not need to be a female to be capable of maternal nurturing, but you do need some connection with your inner feminine. M. Scott Peck has an interesting definition of love — “I define love thus: The…

This card draws your attention to the possibility of your unconscious mind manifesting in the external 3D world. I believe it was Jung who said, “Psychology is destiny.” Conflicts in our unconscious may emerge as bodily symptoms, as interpersonal conflicts or various other sorts of parallel phenomena. The psyche is the core level, and what…

Intense, cosmic thinking — probing the underlying structures. What is happening at the core level? The probing mind needs to be guided by intuition, and we should also keep in mind what J.B.S. Haldane pointed out (paraphrased): “Reality is not only stranger than you think, it is stranger than you can think.” Some people glorify…

Slowing down may allow you to appreciate the beauty of the moment. There is an old Venetian saying: “Where are you rushing to young man?

Cutting off Medusa’s head — direct intervention with inner reptile drives of appetites and aggression. This is a moment of empowerment when you can use your will and intent to transform yourself. We are all too easily taken over by our appetites and fight-or-flight reflexes. According to some evolutionary biologists, marsupials, like kangaroos, are limited…

Focusing on the small side of relationship. It is all too easy for our attention to become obsessed with some overblown soap opera. Handle your relationships in a way you will remember well on your deathbed. If you are emotionally entangled, then ask yourself the question: “When have I felt this before?” If you are…

This is a propitious time for conscious discourse with a spiritual ally. The ally could be a person, an oracle, an entity or your higher self. Most conversation is chatter, small talk, there to keep lines of social connection open with the least substance and thinking possible. If you have a commitment towards consciousness, this…

The Babylon Matrix suppresses your empowered awakening by convincing you that you are nothing but a particular identity, at a particular age, with such and such amount in your checking account, and the laundry list of worries and so forth.
