Daily Cannabis Ingestion as a Cantheist




Daily Cannabis Ingestion as a Cantheist


• In the morning I eat my cannabis butter on toast or pancakes/ waffles. The butter is from the left overs of my vaporizer - both indica and sativa. Relief from a good dose of butter lasts an entire day and commonly a good bit into 2 days. 2 ounces were used to make one pound of butter. This is accompanied by a fruit smoothie.

• That goes with a cup of coffee or tea.
• -> If tea - it will be a red Roobios or Nettles with two droppers of cannabis sativa tincture. The sativa for my current run is grown in southern California organically. It is an outdoor variety and this batch is sans flowers. Stems and shade leaves used provide much instant pain relief with a benefit of a slight pickup instead of a drowsy feeling. This is a nice compliment to the butter helping to stay alert through the day.


• I go to work (walking) and within the first half-hour I am smoking a half gram flower joint and using a vaporizer for 2 grams worth of flower. This accompanies plenty of water intake during the day with whatever various meals. During a typical day I'll smoke 1 - 5 grams flowers by joints, and vaporize 2 - 6 grams. Smoking is limited (by personal preference) to the beginning of the day and the last couple hours of the day. [ One joint may accompany each meal as well ]. Vaporizing is the preferred method (personally) throughout the day due to the fact that the high is much much higher and cleaner. Plus the fact that I am able to reuse the flower later to make butter is a big personal selling point.


• Occasionally smoking hash, using topical cannabis for joints, eating hash edibles, and so on. Even if I ingest a bit of toxins due to combustion the overall benefits of cannabis use not only cancel out negative effects, they are reversed.



This is a look into my typical day. A day of a Cantheist. Every ingestion is spiritual where as I ingest I give thanks and respect to the cannabis. My daily life is a result of developing what works for me in pain relief, spirituality, and career. I have high responsibilities at work and I am a serious professional. Cannabis is to thank and not to blame. If someone is misusing cannabis, they will feel negative results. Abuse of anything is unhealthy. My daily, weekly, monthly, and annual intake of cannabis is significant, but not unhealthy. I stay active and alert. I am willing to compare my intake of cannabis to anybody said to have been effected negatively by cannabis in terms of either schizophrenia, memory loss, attention span, or any previously misconstrued myth pertaining to cannabis use. Laziness and lack of attention are personal problems that can be triumphed with personal conviction and dedication to a higher self - these unsavory personal traits are not caused by use of cannabis.



Blame not. Take responsibility and live the life you deserve.

Explaining Cantheism

Cantheism is a name given to a specified belief.

A Cantheist has experienced their higher power through use of cannabis.

The core belief can be described as an understanding through experience that cannabis is a unique plant with spiritual attributes.







How unique?

Understand we cannot overlook the fact that besides our own human mothers milk, this is the only natural external source of cannabinoids - something we make internally to maintain health.




We do live in a strange time of honoring a racist prohibition of cannabis, something so estranged from the public opinion. This is temporary. The simple fact that information circles the globe in seconds. We as a human society are nothing the same as during the nineteen-teens, twenties, and thirties. Instead of believing prohibitionist propaganda from a competing industry, cannabis participants and non-participants alike are now more easily informed of the truth.





o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o






The truth is in you. It is within myself. It is no experiment. It is not temporary. This is truth.


That friends, is all you need.







Start with truth. If your truth is that you are Cantheist - your country, state, city, community all protect your right to freely exercise your ritual of spiritual nature, usually dubbed religion.




Be aware, positively.




Be ready to defend and explain your beliefs. State calmly your truth. Share your beliefs. Include others and be respectful. Religion is not a free pass. It is "God's Law" over man's law. Keep in the back of your mind the concept of karma. Our God given right is to use our cannabis in whatever way spiritually enhances our lives. We are no different from any other religion. Our beliefs are simply not controlled by a central human power. It is unnecessary. Had we lived in any other century within the past forty besides our own - we would not need protection from prohibition. Logic has returned. We are no longer a part of the dark ages. Truth is the people's hands.








But does the man or woman paid to uphold the law respect your religious right?





At the moment - no consistency is present. Most of those who uphold the law are informed only enough to achieve a biased goal. Had they studied properly all of the law of this land - our community of cannabis participants would not be so strong. Their invasive ignorance has bonded us in the process. We've been pushed into thinking that we need some special permission to our religion. Not in this country.

It is we the people - both participants and cannabis non-participants who are currently turning the tide. It's been turning for some time now. Even those who do not partake have to opportunity to respect the power of this beautiful herb.





o
o
oo
ooo
oo
o
o




Power is in numbers, and the numbers are on our side. Religion is diverse and protected.


The United States of America is a "Nation Under God" which provides not designated singular religion but a land of many religions, spiritualities, and beliefs.


o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o o o o o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o



Legality is secondary. Do you have the right? Yes, but this is almost of no concern. Why worry about legality of your religion? I always follow one major rule -


Create No Victim



Do you bother others with your ritual? If so - stop - change. It is not a right to infringe on others rights. So if your household and community are well informed and supportive you will have no problem. It is the insincere and the profiteers who give cannabis a bad name from the inside. We must continue to do good with our lives.

All religions at heart teach community respect and duty to God. I can believe in a hundred Gods if I choose, but my belief is that God is undefinable by tangible or intangible limitations. It is not for someone else to determine my lifestyle. I contribute to my community and practice patience to prolong peace. Every day you are in front of a jury of your peers. If they know you to be a good person when someone says otherwise - they defend you. If you practice being a good person, you don't have reason to live in fear.



We are wise not to be reckless.



We are not privileged over other religions - we have chosen to make a devout decision to live life in our specific way.




o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o




By the end of the month I will start releasing a video series on my youtube channel about how Cantheism works daily. There are hundreds of preferences and details that differ within the community, yet we can learn from honest conversation how one change can ease our daily lives further than we've known previously. I look forward to sharing and listening with everyone.




Safety first.

Clarity

Open to information

Compassionate

Kind

o o o o o
o o o

A Cantheist is free from the scarring punishment of other religions. We have the knowledge and know-how to improve our lives and those around us every day.





Do we have barriers?




Only those manifested in the mind.
An acute mind creates no boundary.


A actively positive person can't help
but improve their community.




We Cantheists have great opportunity to influence and make positive lasting change every day. It is not only for us but for all who come after. Live the joy of being Cantheist and spread your joy to others - share the love. It is unique. This is our time to shine, show who we are - peace and cannabis, loving people. It is our health, our communion, our sacrament. Through healthful life decisions the inclusion of cannabis allows a peaceful healthy dynamic life.

Purposely Live Mindfully



BLAME!!!!!


Relieve yourself the agony of blame.


To blame is to pout. Learn not to put. Doing so is reliving a memory repeatedly despite disliking the individual memory. It is also more primal as it is yet again showing a distinct psychological reaction of an individual who revisits a moment of feeling the victim.


The only answer is to overcome.


Meditate and contemplate blame. It is an ugly feeling, somewhat like a short-circuit in the brain. By staying mindful we stay in the realm of the higher power where negative energy does not exist. Doing so relives current and future stress. Instead of blame we accept and forgive. This is how we move on to something better.


Blaming is like letting an enemy win.


Free yourself. Cannabis sacrament helps.

Retaliation


Energy is either sent or received.

Mentally or physically makes no difference.

Sending or receiving misdirected energy damages the balance of energy in us.



o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o


As destructive as negative energy is, retaliation is as so tenfold. With retaliation negative energy is doubled, sent to another - perpetuating a negativity cycle. As well, the person retaliating experiences the effects of negative energy as it is harmful to anything on any end.





Battle retaliation with forgiveness.





In retaliation there are always two losers,
where forgiveness always yields winners.





Cannabis sacrament teaches us that retaliation is of no use - as if we are in the realm of the higher power the mere thought of retaliation seems excessive.




Learn from sacrament.




Existing with sacrament is a peaceful existence.


Friday, February 26, 2010

Reaction

React not, instead enact.

To react is to empower the enemy.

Enaction is empowerment from within.

Find peace and stillness.

Cannabis sacrament gives us time at peace in stillness.
From stillness, all else is in action.
When we enact from stillness, we work hand in hand with the higher power.

Completion




Time after completion is for reflection.
Any time of intense nature warrants
reflection in order to gain insight.




A journey or trip can have times of intense joy and sadness attributed to events surrounding the trip. Once completed the reflection opens us up to learn from an outside perspective. This after first-hand experience completes a full circle understanding.



From this gained insight we reapply our new understanding to new situations. By doing so we embrace the fact that we grow and change like everything around us.



Reflect while using sacrament.
Take note of the feeling you get
when a memory is recalled.



A new interpretation of an
old experience is key to
digestion of our past.




This is how we grow to embrace life.

Disappointment



Disappointment comes from failed expectation.
In this way, disappointment is self-imposed.



o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o



Expectation is an attempt to control outcomes by prediction.
In any instance this is misdirected energy.
It is an attempt to live in the future by applying what you've learned in the past.



o
o
oo
o
o



All of this is time wasted
as it is outside the realm
of the higher power.



o
o
oo

ooooo
ooo
oo
o
o



The higher power exists now because now is forever.
You only limit yourself by attempting to live in the past or future as you will never succeed.




o
o
o o o

When we have fully embraced our sacrament
and live in the house of the higher power
we gain access to the wealth of happiness
within us.

Relax Pain Away

Meditation, yoga, and prayer at the very least provide us with methods of relaxation bringing inner peace. Not to discredit these methods, as they are quite effective, but they can also be unnecessary. All that is unnecessary when a Cantheist ingests sacrament cannabis. Any relaxation (body and/or mind) technique mimics the wholesome reward of cannabis sacrament.


o
o o o
o



Peace of mind is only one breath away.



o
o o o
o


Peace of mind is attainable by understanding pain (body and/or mind) and how to overcome pain. One thing to remember of our sacrament - not only does it actually relieve pain at the site, but it also allows our mind to escape the shackles of pain so we can live in peace.

o
o o o
o o o o o
o o o
o

This and many other more reasons
have made us Cantheists.

Emotions Control Reality

ooooo
ooo

A nervous twinge, a scared pit in your stomach, a lump in your throat, an aching heart - these physical incarnations are a product of the mind. One by one you can address your responses to emotions by addressing the emotion.

Negative emotions can ruin a life but thankfully it is easy to address, reduce, then replace a negative emotion with something positive. This way whenever you get a slight twinge of an emotion coming on, you quickly address it and move beyond without dwelling.




o
o o o
o o o o o

Meditate on the emotion with sacrament cannabis
to gain mastery control of your emotions.

Positive energy fills the void.




If you can control your emotions,
you can control your reality.

Mudras: The Spiritual Gesture

Mudras are hand positions held during a time of focus.
These positions access and release the energy stored in your body.
This helps reset the balance of energy of the body and mind.

Every mudra has a purpose and an effect.

My 3 Top Mudras:

Kundalini - Unification
Uttarabodhi - Inspiration
Jnana - Soul/ Give and Receive

Mudras are a quick control of mindset. Whenever you need a change of headspace try using a mudra. Within seconds a lasting positive change takes place.

Reflection: Me.


oo


I was not born Cantheist.



I was Cantheist before I knew the term.




This is what works for me.


ooo



I take a step away to reflect. Once upon a time I was angry and filled with hate. This was fueled by miscommunication and lack of compassion.

I was searching.

Now joy replaces anger and love replaces hate.

When I am in trance with the higher power through using sacrament - I learn. Hate and anger are impossible to experience while in trance. Why? These are unneeded emotions when dealing with the higher power.



Use time spent with the higher power as a guide
on how to spend time with your fellow man.



Kindness breeds kindness.

One cannot make everybody agree or be happy. However, one is not to blame for anything otherwise.

Times change as do people. We are free roaming souls who always have, but are always searching for a reason to live. Other than converting oxygen into carbon dioxide, we find reason with our higher power.

ooo
oooooooo
ooo
o


Each day we are given reason to live by encountering the higher power. Feeling proud, honest, and open after each sacramental session (prayer, meditation, etc.) we are given reason in the delightful afterglow of the supernatural encounter. Feel safe and curious that others may need to learn of your beliefs before giving respect. Every human encounter gives security in communion, and the opportunity to share stories.

Learn from others and they learn from you.


ooo


Hold on to your beliefs.

Protect who you are - as Cantheists we create no victim.

A Cantheist has no need for guilt.


Remove guilt from your emotional pie. Nature allows no true redo. Guilt is lingering desire for redo. If there is no desire to relive (and thereby choose differently the decisions/ actions of a past event) then one simply has no guilt.


Instead, we change by choices of now.

Pillar of Strength





Maintain Personal Convictions of Truth


o
o
oo
o
o

Everything starts with one.

o
o

Any personal belief can be welcoming or off putting in the eyes of others.

First focus inward. Within our being we have that which we do not believe, and that which we do believe. We must always learn. In the case that my beliefs are not that of my neighbors - my responsibility is to be true to myself. Compassion enables us to understand someone else's views or beliefs. It does not charge for change in personal belief.

Stay true. When treating yourself with the highest respect you can't help but being respecting of others.

Be the pillar of strength you want to see in others. Live on the path of the higher power and gradual lasting strength builds character and empowers the soul.

Non-Violence


o
o


As clear the line between good and evil


- seemingly easy in philosophy, however,

most difficult in life.



o
o


A Cantheist creates no victim. A Cantheist is above the irrationality of violence.


o
o


A Cantheist by nature is a freedom fighter due to society's eternal struggle with a true solution to a problem. When faced with the most dynamic, safe, and effective cure all or panacea, no matter the truth - it will face undue scrutiny, and not constructive in general nature. Perseverance is called to all Cantheists as our struggle may never end (life is struggle), but to help with coming to terms we have our faith, sacrament, life, and love to convince us to stick around for a bit longer.


o
o


Every day

we can be better

at something

- anything.

All we need

is focused attention.


o
o


Understanding is something each of us does individually and uniquely, yet, somehow all exactly the same. Being open to to new ideas and ways of thinking is a subtle specialty of Cantheist.

Thinking Like Ancestors


o
o
oo

Learn.

ooooo





Every time these words are read we are always further from our ancestors. Our modern world of instant globally linked countries seems far from what our ancestors lived a couple hundred to thousands of years ago. As distant as our lives may seem from those of the past, we are linked.

Our ancestors found the healing and mystic powers of Cannabis as well as its many industrial uses. We as Cantheists are privileged recipients of sacred ancestral knowledge.



o
o
oo
o
o



Trance is a state of mind and focus where we as humans are capable of learning rapidly while relaxed. This experience can be vivid and profound. An afterglow of joy typically follows a period of trance.

Notice the distinction between a typical daily prayer/ meditation session and that which is the escalated intensity of a trance prayer/ meditation. A slight sensation of never wanting to leave is typical. These are glimpses into eternal peace and joy. If we can experience this, so did our ancestors and so shall our offspring.



o
o
oo
o
o


Those who have never experienced trance: Try this
  1. While sitting erect/standing - Vape/Smoke exorbitant amount of sacrament
  2. Breathe fully through the nose - eyes closed - focus eyes between the eyebrows
  3. Allow the sacrament to absorb into all parts of the body as it quickly spreads
This should be the beginning of the momentary trance.


Hold on to this by breathing smoothly
without stopping in or out.


o
o
oo
ooo
oo
o
o


Details:
oooooooooooooo

Building up to the point where trance state is within reach may take 15 minutes. Once a stable base is built one can tiptoe with the trance by carefully administering sacrament to meet one's needs. Care must be taken during peeks into trance as the state is not always within grasp. The spirit tires after 20 - 30 minutes going in and out between states of trance and lower consciousness.

While flirting between states of consciousness do not forget to allow the joy of the experience to become overwhelming. This is unique and positive in the human life. Learn from this that noticing happiness breeds happiness. We can always make ourselves happy as it is an important part of our survival. Everyday we survive to live as did our ancestors. Like they, we take time to honor every day the sun rises and sets. We are as primal as they. Only sacrament is needed to connect us to our ancestry and our higher power.

Cantheists are capable of understanding consciousness and its many forms due to the consciousness gifts we are given by sacrament. We may not have written data to tell us what is happening, but we understand it nonetheless. Some things may never be explained, while at the same time a complete understanding is possible and true.


I want to help everyone understand better the experiences they have already
been through as well as new levels which are very beneficial to have experienced.


Together we form a well informed community toward
our beliefs and
our impact on the world around us.

Details help clarify. Brief is better.


ooo

When you/ I: vape, smoke, eat, or in any way ingest Cannabis -

  1. - Notice your breathing
  2. - Close your eyes and notice how you feel
  3. - Slowly change posture allowing the breath to be full and unobstructed


When full alignment is reached - the awareness slips
into the realm and presence of the higher power.




This is called praying, worshipping, meditating, connecting, or whatever you decide.
The type of focus makes this determination.





o

Relax and enjoy the peace.

Action and Non-Action

Sometimes we do by acting.

After much time is put toward floating in the ether (provided by sacrament) - much can be learned from short stints in absence of sacrament.


Planning periods of sacrament absence teaches perspective and healthy outlook toward one's own life. Noted periods range from 1 day to 3 weeks and from 1 to 4 times a year.


I break as follows:


  • - 1 day break every 3 weeks
  • - 1 week break every 6 months
  • - 3 weeks break every 4 years



None of this is required of Cantheists. Break periods are suggested as they provide benefit by teaching value. It is a sign of one's faith when choosing a period of suffering in order to strengthen one's own faith. This is a pilgrimage of absence, where a cannabinge is a pilgrimage of access.

Personal Freedom

Cantheist belief:
Not one method of ingestion harms more than helps.



Those who live in this world with the most freedom, live in the United States of America. We of this world Earth are bound not by laws of word but by laws of nature. Whether in the United States or covered by the United Nations the people of this planet are set to live by the law of the higher power. The laws of word are for those who stray from the laws of the higher power.


The only way to know freedom is to live free.


We Cantheists take as a responsibility our right to a culture of Cannabis. If one rule is followed as:

- one creates no victim

then thereafter we are held to limited boundaries. Time and place as a setting leaves discretion up to the channeling spirit and the higher power. A Cantheist in connection with the higher power through use of the sacrament Cannabis experiences something holy and sacred.

This I hold dearly in my beliefs as the most beneficial plant to the human race.

Sacrament Vs. Non-Sacrament

When is sacrament not sacrament?

Ever heard the joke: When is a door not a door? A: When it is ajar.



If Cannabis is my sacrament, is it ever not my sacrament?


What we have is a perception game - perspective. It comes down to attitude and approach. If in mind Cannabis is always sacrament, it will always remain sacrament.


Cannabis is many things. It heals the sick, lifts spirits, provides nutrition - all is true. However, if in every instance my intention is first to respect my sacrament - the outcome is always that I have respected my sacrament.
Recreation gets a negative connotation as if unnecessary. Truthfully recreation is restoring health and spirits. I say Cannabis rivals water, oxygen, and exercise in importance of restoring health and spirits. If I am first respecting my sacrament, then recreational misuse is impossible.
[Remember this distinction.]


With this in mind, the discussion of "use in moderation" is useless. By respecting sacrament which results in preventing misuse, talk of moderation in purpose is to please others.

A Cantheist needs not to please others in this manner.

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Ritual Respect

A Cantheist may set aside certain parameters for sacrament ritual.

Ingestion method, prayer, strain type, etc. are all potential ritualistic elements. Try starting with an altar.

Once a simple meaningful altar of your choice and liking is setup - use it! An altar is simply your way of setting aside a place for your ritual sacramental ceremony. The purpose is setting, vibe, or aire. This determines the energy of your surroundings. Simple balance permeates to your own energy output. Such balance also commutates once a part of your energy makeup. In essence when you are in balance your surroundings mimic that balance.

Ritual is an important and simple element with religious sacrament. Accept the full benefit of sacrament by respecting the sacrament. Respect the herb. Respect your time with the herb. Respect the higher power (that with the ability to lift spirits). Respect yourself and others.

The Golden Rule:
Treat others as you wish to be treated
-or-
You get back what you put out.


Start by treating yourself with respect. Hold that same respect with others.

Life Without Remorse

Remorse is regret is guilt. Live without remorse. Learn.

To live with remorse is to allow unpleasant past experiences to live again, on and on. Relieve yourself from living as a victim - to yourself or any one else. It is a waste to live without learning. With remorse one does not learn the way of nature. Change is constant in nature. Without change there is no progress, so by removing remorse you choose to progress. This is one more stepping stone toward happiness. A Cantheist does not ignore change.

Removing specific emotions from your daily emotional basket leaves more room for others.

- Make choices
- Take control
- Always be responsible

Allow life to get better all the time.

Walking Meditation

Enhance the experience of living and being a Cantheist. Walking meditation is an effective form of yoga and meditation giving way to noticeable beneficial changes in clearing energy. Administer sacrament in your form of choice before meditation. When you feel connected and ready:

1. Walk slowly, almost carefully - 10 steps and turn
2. Notice each step - say "stepping" for each step with each foot
3. On the turn step, say "turning"

(Keep your eyes gazing anywhere from a meter ahead of you on the ground up to the horizon. This focus should be light and steady - do not strain your eyes)


This meditation is best practiced outdoors in nature.
Be sure to breathe gently through the nose.
Relax with each turn.
Let go.
Balance.
Stand straight.
Allow yourself to be pulled along.
Refrain from pushing, this confuses and clouds the mind.

Smoking Prayer Breathing

Smoke in as out.

o

Listed below is a technique to fully embrace all that is given and received with each breath involved in smoking. The most common and direct method of smoking Cannabis in a wrapped roll allows for careful attention to the smoke intake mixture with clean air.


This method when properly followed results in consistent attentiveness - which brings about the spiritual element in the ritual of smoking.

Smoke - each breath see ocean waves and the tide synced to the moon - many waves per tide.
Each breath brings growing cycles - 6 circles (waves) for every major energy point (tide).

(We'll try and make this confusing)



1. First half (1, 2, 3, and part of 4) of the energy points (chakras)are for with a vessel, second half (top half) breath only clean air through the nose (or mainly the nose as a beginner).

2. Each breath with partners a breath without. 1 with and 1 without (smoke).

3. Breath in - clean air in nose; breath out - gentle air through nose.

[Similar patterns includes 2/2, 1/2, 2/1]






With energy points
we use chakras 1-7
to give reference
of where on the
body you focus
your attention.






With your right finger,
actually point to each energy point (chakra)
and count to 6 at each point.







Full breath in (20 - 25 seconds); full breath out (15 - 20 seconds):

Root - 6 spinning circles, counting each circle
Sacral - stack a row of 6 spinning on top
Solar Plexus - start to see 3 rows of 6
Heart - evenly counting 6 at each point
Throat - relaxing throat muscles
Third Eye - finger on forehead feel an opening heat
Crown - snowcap sensation pulling gently upward

Over time, build from 1 cycle of 6 to stacking [in 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, out 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3]. This adds as high as one can focus (5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on).

In the beginning, you may find (with this style of counting and focusing at each point) that you are full of air by the 3rd or 4th point with little room left for the throat, 3rd eye, and crown to add. Continue with posture that allows even breath from bottom to top. This develops flow. Notice all circles within each breath - each point builds on the previous point; each breath builds on top of the previous breath.






...As similar to a record being played backwards -


visually.


Fast in the middle,
Slow at the edge.

(Starting meditation you move much to get into place and over time you move less as you are already in place for proper breathing. This fast progress followed by slowing progress is also seen in the focus gained during the counting process, as you move closer to stillness in body and mind. Over time you learn to think without numbers while maintaining qualities of supporting a pyramid of breaths.)

First breaths unwind the body quickly into posture.
Soon only little changes with each breath.




Stillness.




This is meditation.

The passing of a vessel from one Cantheist to another
brings about easy balance with breathing and reflection.
Allowing a moment of stillness
between smoking breaths
is communal prayer.

Whether silent or speaking: the space between smoking breaths is prayer.

Chinese Meditation Balls

Using meditation balls teaches flow and fluidity. Exist with your neighbors without causing, or reciprocating friction. Consistency over time teaches stamina.



Breathing properly tunes the body like a pitchfork; deepening focus.



At all times we must consider ourselves Cantheists. Honoring our ancestors and their astonishing wisdom, we cherish and with due respect accept our responsibility of protecting this plant (Cannabis) and its incarnation and existence in all forms possible. Use of this plant must in every instance show respect for balance the plant creates and maintains.

Cantheist Smoke Spiritual

We live where we keep our head. Fill your head with acceptance and joy and that is what you encounter. Fill your head with hate and guilt and that is what you encounter.

With the smoke, we encounter the breath. Careful attention to the breath fills us with spirit.

- Slow
- Smooth
- Full

With every breath we encounter the higher power. We both receive and give aid - this results in spiritual balance.

Emotions Meditation

An easy loss of control comes from emotions. We allow unfriendly emotions to exist thereby taking place of other emotions. Reverse this replacing negative emotion with positive emotion.

Every emotion deserves one meditation.

1. First understand any emotion can exist in ratio relative to any other. Any

2. Second understand any emotion can replace any other emotion.

3. Third understand every emotion creates a unique time and space relative to the emotion. A unique dimension.

Atheist Explained

I am Atheist. A collective conscious exists alongside a collective unconscious. No separation exists which results in the absence of a deity.

Cantheism includes beliefs of many type. It is an inclusive belief, not an exclusive belief.

Cantheist, Taoist, Atheist

I am a spiritual being. I believe my spirit - or spiritual energy - will never die. While in the realm of my human being I am devoted to at all times cultivate, share, and in any way enhance the existence and growth of my spirit. Any deviation or disintegration of these beliefs and/ or practices by result of others dislike, misunderstanding, or malicious intent is considered FORCED APOSTASY.
