Thriving or Hanging On? and Other Psychic Bits and Pieces
A collection of metaphysical 'thinkers'.
Sometimes I come across a few metaphysical or psychic thoughts, articles from others or unfinished bits and pieces of things. I keep them in one place until I have a page full of thought-provoking things to share with you! That’s what this is.
I’m so happy to have such beautiful people here with me! Welcome! A Mystic’s Journal is my main-stay publication, and I thank all the new subscribers that have recently stopped by! My appreciation continues for all who have walked this path with me along the way and from the inception of this Journal! If you received this from a friend, consider subscribing to my journal.
Thriving or Hanging On?
Sometimes you might thrive on this earth. Other times, it seems you are only holding on. Generally, my friend, the majority of us are only holding on. It just looks different when other people do it…M
Reality: A Mind-Bending Illusion You Never Knew Existed
Quantum Riddle by Thomas Dorman (This is a thinker/M)
Imagine if the world around you—the vibrant colors, the solid ground beneath your feet, the very reality you take for granted—was nothing more than a elaborate construction of your mind. What if the red of a rose, the blue of the sky, or the feeling of a warm touch were not objective facts, but dynamic creations emerging from consciousness itself?
This isn't science fiction. It's a profound philosophical and scientific inquiry that challenges everything we think we know about existence.
Consider the simplest example: color. What we perceive as "red" is not an inherent property of an apple, but a sophisticated interpretation created by our consciousness. The apple reflects certain wavelengths of light, but "redness" is a complex neural symphony—a creation of our brain, not a fundamental property of the fruit itself.
But this rabbit hole goes much deeper.
Cutting-edge research suggests that consciousness might not be a byproduct of our brain, but a fundamental force that literally constructs reality. Quantum physicists like Dean Radin and theorists such as Donald Hoffman are uncovering evidence that challenges our most basic assumptions: What if observation itself creates the world we experience?
High-strangeness phenomena—from near-death experiences to unexplained consciousness events—hint at a reality far more fluid and mysterious than our current scientific paradigms can explain. These aren't mere anomalies, but potential windows into a deeper understanding of existence.
Our current scientific establishment often behaves more like a rigid belief system than a genuine pursuit of knowledge. It dismisses experiences that don't fit neatly into established models, suppressing research that might revolutionize our understanding of consciousness and reality.
The most groundbreaking scientific discoveries have always begun by questioning the unquestionable. From quantum mechanics to continental drift, history is replete with examples of ideas once considered impossible becoming accepted truth.
We stand at a fascinating crossroads. Are we ready to expand our perception, to consider that reality might be a dynamic, consciousness-driven process rather than a fixed, objective landscape?
The invitation is clear: Question everything. The most profound discoveries await those willing to look beyond the familiar.
Dissecting the Spiritual Dimension
"There are many researchers and scientists who would love to be able to dissect the spiritual dimension to see what there is to see. No scientist can research your feelings and tell you, for instance, that you are lonely. It is something you just know. If you feel broken-hearted because your husband just passed away, no surgeon can operate on you, look at your heart and see the break. Yet, it is there." ~~Psychic Integrity, Melissa Leath
Self-Awareness for Spiritual Seekers
Self-awareness may seem like a mythical unicorn. We may catch a fleeting glimpse of it. But as soon as we’ve spotted it, it vanishes.
Being self-aware is an essential part of the spiritual journey. Self-awareness is the very first steppingstone towards expanded consciousness and experiences, such as deeper self-understanding, more self-compassion and increased love for others.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the ability to be aware of your own thoughts, feelings, impulses, and behaviors. Basically, self-awareness is the ability to pay attention to who you are and what makes you tick. More than that, it involves developing an understanding of your deeper beliefs, inner wounds, mental and emotional defense mechanisms.
The difference between self-understanding and self-awareness is that self-awareness is recognizing your inner landscape. But self-understanding is using that self-awareness to figure out something about yourself. It is a subtle difference, but you can see how they work together.
Here are a few examples of being self-aware:
Being aware of your true feelings and emotions
Being aware of your prejudices and biases
Being aware of the way you interact with others
Being aware of your habits
Being aware of your worst fears
Being aware of being aware (e.g. during meditation and contemplation)
Why is Self-Awareness Important?
Developing self-awareness is so important because without it we can easily become stuck in toxic patterns for years, even an entire lifetime (as many people do). Self-awareness is the very foundation of all emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth. A lack of self-awareness results in living an inauthentic and chaotic life that is driven by untamed impulses, unconscious habits, and unquestioned beliefs. To put it simply, self-awareness is so important because without it we become self-destructive.
Becoming self-aware is the number one thing you can do to make big shifts in your life.
