It’s been a tough few months for my little family. Artificial intelligence has taken a significant bite out of the freelance online publishing industry. Paying rent has been a struggle. I’ve taken on odd jobs and rented out the master bedroom to a retired widow.

She’s very nice and I take joy in the chance to help someone who needs it and be helped at the same time.

In light of all this, my manifestation work has been an uphill battle. Trying to remain centered and perform functional magic while in a persistent state of low-grade panic is like swimming against the current. Still, it is clear that the universe has lessons for me, and the sooner I learn them, the sooner the turbulence might subside.

With all of that in mind, I thought I’d share snippets of wisdom that have presented themselves to me. May they prove useful to you.

1. Layton & My Spirit Guide

There is an artist and intuitive who befriended me on Facebook and calls herself “Layton” online. Her art reminds me of things I see in the dreamtime, which I find fascinating. But after I wrote the entry entitled, “My Encounter With a Guiding Feminine Spirit,” I, rather boldly, asked her to read it. She did and told me she got the impression that the Sister is always with me, and that I should be able to call on her any time.

I took comfort in this but didn’t take it too seriously until the emotional rollercoaster ride of being behind on the rent sent me into a bout of existential despair. I know that our thoughts and emotions craft our experience, so I knew I needed to pull out of the dip. But my internal resources and skill were not up to the task. I called the Sister, asked her to comfort me, and almost immediately felt her embrace. She held me like a baby for maybe an hour as I whispered the words “thank you” over and over.

By the time the experience was over, I felt nothing but gratitude for the Sister’s loving help, and joy at the reality of the miracle. My guiding spirit had truly guided me, proving the wisdom of creation’s design, a least to me.

Then, realizing that Layton had achieved a wonderful psychic feat by telling me that the Sister is my spirit guide and was always there, I thanked her as well as one can through the Internet.

If you happen to run into Layton on Facebook or Twitter, show respect and tell her I said “Hi.”

2. Cross Cortical Stimulation

Years ago, I was taking regular talk therapy. (Yeah, I know. I used to be a turbo normie.) But my counselor did give me one tip which I find immensely helpful to this day. He told me, should I ever feel anxious or struggle with a persistent thought, I should pass both hands over the center-line of my body and gently tap with my fingers. Just touch your elbows and tap.

This causes the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate through the corpus callosum. That is the gap that separates the feminine and masculine sides of the brain. The effect this technique has is that it disrupts discordant brain waves and sets thought patterns into harmony.

It’s as if the child somehow forces the mother and father to converse calmly, instead of yelling. In that regard, it could be considered a physical manifestation of the Christ Impulse.

I later learned that we can do the same thing by simply looking back and forth. This works because the gaze of each eye crosses the center-line. It also makes sense from an evolutionary psychology perspective because you would not walk through the woods and cast your gaze calmly back and forth unless you were feeling calm. So the architecture of our brains is such that we can jack into serenity with this simple trick.

Try this any time you get into an altercation or begin having anxiety-inducing retrospective thoughts. Think of the scene that upset you and perform one or both of these forms of cross-cortical stimulation. This detaches the amygdala from the thought, preventing it from cementing the event as a trauma. It also works on existing traumas in retrospect. Use this any time a memory returns to haunt you. Do this consistently, and there will eventually be nothing left in your mind to bother you at all.

If you have a meditative practice, cross-cortical stimulation is like a rocket sled into your Place of Patience.

3. The Eyes of a Wise Woman

In another age, women ruled the world. (Don’t worry, this is not “woke” nonsense.) The researcher Jason Breshears claims that when women enjoyed their full power, the atmosphere was more oxygen-dense. According to him, men were more manly, giants roamed the Earth, and women possessed enormous psychic power. However it is that women achieved their dominance, I don’t know. But an age of reverence for the feminine principle is well documented, as is its dismantlement.

Today, the psychic strength of a woman can only be felt by those who understand and are attuned to spiritual things. This is unfortunate. We live in an unbalanced world. This is no claim that men are inherently “toxic.” But it is an assertion that any imbalance between the masculine and feminine is toxic. Perhaps the age of feminine rule was tyrannical. There is no doubt that it must have been in certain places and times.

But in 2017, I divorced my second wife and declared myself finished with the modern woman. I had accepted as fact that men and women both are so indoctrinated with false teaching that loving and being loved was not even a possibility. Regardless, my pursuit of Sophia persisted.

This lead me from teacher to teacher, which is normal and fine. Eventually, I found the YouTube channel of one Gigi Young, (recommended by Jason Breshears, actually).

Her teachings resonated with me, but I also had the very strong impression that she was the most beautiful creature in the world, certainly the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I was entranced by her huge green eyes and her soft but sure voice. I had a crush.

But I had been immune to that sort of thing for years, damn it! I believe it was an act of the divine meant to help me move into another chapter of this life, one that I look forward to but of which I have no clear vision. I was as cold as stone and I needed to be made into a complete man again.

Gigi speaks of how a teacher’s spirit teaches the spirit of the student, and as I gazed into her eyes through the screen I felt an instinctive reverence for feminine wisdom blossom in me. Fortunately, I got over my crush. But I challenge you to look at Gigi’s face, hear her voice, and not experience the same thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt it.

Anyway, to keep this terse, I believe her teaching activated a part of me that was closed down. It gave me a healthy admiration for the things at which women excel. Further, it showed me why all of the mystery traditions express the deepest wisdom they possess in the form of symbols which signify the union of the masculine and the feminine.

You see, the womb is a portal through which the woman brings forth souls from the spiritual realm. For this reason, women are closer to Spirit than men are. Conversely, a man’s generative organ is literally a magic wand, directing organizing intent into the physical world. Therefore, men are closer to the manifested world. Together, they have the potential to craft a perfect world for the divine child, and that is what we are supposed to be doing, as far as I can tell.

Today, when I sense wisdom in a woman, I listen eagerly. Not out of some slavish, thirsty impulse, but to get a magical boost for my spiritual condition. Then, if I happen to find her beautiful, I try not to invade her dreams- unless she wants me to.
