  • Sickness, Old Age, and Death

    I am experiencing the suffering of sickness old age, and death all around me. When a dog gets cancer, a series of processes begin to occur that are a natural part of the death process. The tumor is a fascinating piece of interdependent process- showing how at the most fundamental level, we are a process,…

  • Awakening Report!!

    A friend of mine, recently attained to level 1 non-self insight!!! Her and I had a chat about her insight and she was much different in her demeanor.

  • Signlessness

    The Ten Levels of the Bodhisattva – The Buddha Journey The very hard to conquer/Difficult to cultivate (Sudurjaya): The fifth level is “difficult” because it involves practices that are so difficult and require a great deal of effort to perfect.

  • Quick Notes on Brahmacharya- a Super Power for Men

    Brahmacharya is a term that is closely associated with celibacy, and restraint of the sexual impulses. It is a non-binding temporary, optional practice in the SigmaTropic System. But in a broad sense, the term Brahmacharya means “divine action”. We are putting aside our selfish notions and acting as an agent of the divine. In order…

  • Magick and Intention – part I

    Students in the SigmaTropic Sangha see that reality is mind, and they develop strong samatha abilities through the constructive interference effect of multiple streams of intention from multiple angles in the Category I practice flow. With this strong concentration and intention built up, concepts like “Magick” and “objective reality” often come up in my discussions…

  • Non-Self Realization and Compassion

    With the realization of not-self, non-self, selflessness, etc, the practitioner for the first time inhabits a perspective that is free of self-attachment. Most people have an onion-like series of deeper and deeper attachments, but the attachments that a human can hold onto are not infinite.

    Christians are welcome on my site. They are free to try the techniques that I am carefully crafting to deliver to the masses- these techniques are powerful and profound and kept hidden by the elites of the spiritual community.

  • The Attainment of Level I Non-Self Insight

    This is an attainment in the SigmaTropic system which is an important milestone in meditative development. It’s the first time the meditator sees clearly that there is no self in any thing we experience. We get this knowledge that the self-concept that we have is a merely a fabrication. In the SigmaTropic system the Level…

  • The SigmaTropic Cycle of Manifestation

    This is a magickal model I use to manifest conscious meditative and perceptual experiences, and it can be a useful model for contemplative and spiritual development in general terms. The cycle is a regular pattern of mental states that a meditator traverses in the goal of manifesting a conscious experience. Since awakening involves a change…
