The Principle of the Visionary Heart Path

July 27, 2008

This is posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

The Visionary Heart Path is where the ‘rubber’ of the Universal Core Intention meets the ‘road’ of the specific relative conditions of the individual. While the core intention is universal, each person’s path to the growth mandated by the core intention and the way they will benefit beings is personal and called one’s Visionary Heart Path. This is akin …(read more)

Intro to Transformational Technology Blog

Posted on the Transformational Technology Blog

The first major wave of technological development massively increased our physical power, range and capacity. We learned to leverage our physical strength to be more powerful in battle, travel farther faster, move heavier things, grow more food travel over bodies of water and host of other extension of physical prowess. While this wave continued to expand our physical power, the second wave of development increased our conceptual power. At first this wave expanded more slowly, first with writing, then many centuries later, printing. But in the middle of the last century technology to leverage our conceptual power began to evolve at exponential rates and has now surpassed our physical leveraging power even though it aids us in evolving physical leveraging technology even faster. There is third wave of technological evolution that is has been steadily growing and is on the verge of exponential growth: technology to accelerate our spiritual evolution and personal transformation. The first two wave increased our ability to effect our outer world; this third wave increases our ability to inner world. Einstein observed our technological growth had surpassed our moral/spiritual growth. This third wave that is rapidly gaining momentum will help address that imbalance.

These new technologies play a key role in… (read more)

Reality Hacking Alchemies

This is posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

It is commonly understood in many spiritual circles that we create our own reality. Depending on your view, this could be understood literally as creating the actual events of you life, but it can now be said to be scientific fact that we at least create our experience of reality, which is tantamount to creating reality itself. The mechanisms that form our experience of reality include our beliefs, habitual styles of selective perception, meaning and emotion attribution criteria, values, rules, and cultural conditioning. These can be called programs. These programs…(read more)

Beliefs as Skillful Means

July 22, 2008

This is posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

When the nature of relative truth is understood it is easy to recognize the how beliefs function (or often dysfunction) as skillful means. What also must be understood is that they are often integral functional components of transformational systems that are required for practitioners of the systems at particular developmental stages. That is to say practitioners at particular developmental stages, who are trying to use the system, must internalize these integral functional components if the system is to function the way it was meant to.

This has several implications. First some of what people call techniques from a system may not work,  work the same way or create…(read more)

When No Dogma becomes A Dogma: more on the Two Truths

July 22, 2008

This is posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

It is a fairly common occurrence to see people become dogmatic about having no dogma, being against dogma or being nondogmatic. Often this is accompanied by judgments about those they perceive as having dogmas or the dogmas they think they hold. They have intolerance for dogma. These are common signs that having no dogma, or being against dogma, has become a dogmatic fixation and are indication of lack of correct understanding of the Principles of Two Truths.

Part of this error is usually the mistaking “dogma” as meaning the belief, tenants and/or postulates someone holds as functional truths rather then the dogmatic fixation on those functional truths. It is an understandable mistake…(read more)

The Two Truths as Antidotes to the Problems of Dogma Part 2

July 20, 2008

Posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

Part 2- The Two Truths as antidote

Understanding the Principle of the Two Truths helps pacify these problems. Intellectual understanding alone will not completely prevent dogmatic fixation, because the root of dogmatic fixation is the identity fixation that results from lack of direct recognition of Absolute Truth. Thus only that direct realization will prevent all dogmatic fixation. However, the more deeply we understand the Principle of Two Truths, the weaker and less pervasive the tendency towards dogmatic fixation becomes.

Even intellectual understanding of the Principle of the Two Truths increases …(read more)

The Two Truths as Antidote to the Problems of Dogma Part 1

July 20, 2008

This is posted on the Visionary Heart Alchemy Blog

Part 1- the Problems of Dogma

Dogma, as I mean it in this context, refers to fixation on a relative truth as Absolute Truth or fixation that leads to attempting to apply a relative truth to a context in which it does not function.. There is a strong tendency in humans towards this dogmatic fixation and this leads to a whole host of problems and confusions. Even and intellectual understanding of the Principle of Two Truths can help to dissolve these fixations and serve as an antidote to the problems that result. It because of this important capacity tof the Principle of the Two Truths that I have dedicated so many of these early posts to the Global Alchemy Blog Matrix to it. It can help prevent what can become serious errors in understanding.

Before examining some the problems and confusion…(read more)
