Metaphysics is beyond physics, referring to any phenomena associated with the non-physical realm, including the quantum forces of sub atomic physics and the supernatural.
"The more you know, the more there is to know!"
In this interactive forum, participants gain an ever-broadening understanding of being human while navigating the complexities of the greater reality. In contrast to a typical discussion forum, participants are encouraged to explore ideas from a metaphysical perspective, where no idea is too far-out!
Utilizing intellect and intuition, participants explore: What is our purpose for existence? Where did we come from? How do our souls come into being? What is the triune nature of mind?
Lecture Presentation and Discussion by Armando Busick
"Thinking with our Senses: Opening to the Intent of Life"
Description:
A common belief is that we only use one-tenth of our brain. In actuality, we may be using only one-hundred-trillionth of our mental capacity or less.
Our common mode of thought is a limited by being language-based. It has given our species an illusory superiority and a separation from the rest of life. Its limitations cannot provide understanding and have been the source of all our problems, both as a species and as individuals.
We have another mode of thought outside the tiny strings of verbal logic, another mode of though that senses and directs the infinitely complex functioning of our bodies as part of the life-process of a living universe.
For most of the history of our species, humans operated primarily in this mode of thought. We still have rare access to it- we call it intuition. It is sensory and symbolic, and is the source of our dreams and visions. It is a vast intelligence that resides in our genes and holds the intent of our evolution.
In this presentation we will experience and explore this intelligence.
Presenter's Biography:
Armando Busick has spent over 40 years in study and synthesis of Shamanism, the I Ching, the Chakras, the Qaballa, Cosmology, and Cybernetics. In 1973 he shared his journal with the philosopher Alan Watts who pointed him to a then newly developed calculus of consciousness a calculus with a single symbol. This inspired him to develop a single symbol (Treei) that is a distillation of the ancient symbol systems, and a practical application as an interface to understand and use the greater function of our mind.
Note: Intended for participants 18-30 years-old only.

Jordan became fascinated with metaphysics and the paranormal in 1989 after accounts of a roommate's unbelievable UFO experiences re-kindled his curiosity in 'fringe' subjects. Jordan's interest quickly snowballed into an enormous hunger for more and more information which eventually led to the founding of Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library & Events Center in Ashland, Oregon in the Fall of 2001.
