New Senses, New World

Metaphysical Perception

An erstwhile correspondent once chided me for expressing interest in metaphysical topics. “No such things even exist,” he remarked ruefully. “If stuff doesn’t register on our regular five senses, it simply isn’t there.” For good or ill, my retort appeared to render him nonplussed. “But there are seven senses,” I noted, “and it’s those additional two that matter the most.” Of course, my assertion merely echoed century-old observations by Theosophical Society founder Helena Blavatsky, author G.A. Barborka, and others. These luminaries used both personal experience and logical inference as eloquent testimony for the presence of two additional senses: memory and spiritual insight. Of course, only an ineluctably metaphysical perspective would allow such arguments for the reality of nonphysical faculties.

Metaphysical Understanding

What does this putative pair of supersensory vehicles have to do with our White Sage products? Actually, quite a bit! At Lucky Six Farms the noumenal sits as close as the phenomenal. At times, the former’s relevance to real-world considerations may far outstrip the latter’s. When delicate issues of planting, optimum growth, pest control, maturity, harvesting, and distillation lie outside the narrow, blinkered purview of factory-farming - as they inevitably do with White Sage - we must draw upon evidence flowing from channels outside the mundane five. Since we employ no petrochemicals, pesticides, or industrial techniques to assure organic quality and purity, we have become aware of subtle information sources and ancient methodologies unavailable to those who must rely on mechanical instrumentation and coarse interventions.

Metaphysical Results

For customers across the globe, our uniquely purifying White Sage products have come to function as much more than conventional aromatics. With Native American Tribes, our clients have learned to appreciate the many dimensions of life benefited through the use of our essential oil, hydrosol, smudge bundles, cones, and whole leaves. In fact, I can state categorically that the primary channels through which White Sage works its wonders are metaphysical. By rapidly energizing minds while calming bodies, it magickally opens psychic portals hitherto closed or inaccessible. Such metaphysical results are undeniable: see for yourself!

Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga Empowers Personal Creativity

In my travels, I have personally talked with many spiritual leaders who have emphasized the importance of karma yoga: that is, doing constructive work with maximal awareness. Whatever their individual belief systems or doctrinal alignments, virtually all were in agreement that humans were not machines and thus should not be content to accomplish goals as unconscious, unfeeling automatons. They also believed that being open, awake, and vibrantly involved in work influenced others to do the same, ultimately contributing to a better, more humane world. This yogic approach to work pays enormous subjective dividends, too, although no quantitative measure can be applied to such benefits. Specifically, it allows your intuition access to profound levels of understanding, both objective and subjective. In short, karma yoga enables the manifestation of hitherto undreamed-of creative abilities.

Karma Yoga Opens Channels Of Metaphysical Awareness

The other day I received a brief note from a putative correspondent who chided me for referring to the everyday reality of the metaphysical. Convinced that only what could be physically weighed or measured exists, he resented the fact that others might find much more to celebrate in life. To his dismay, I disagreed, although I could cite no algorithm or materialist dogma to support my position. Rather, I must rely on the solidity of personal work experience, of my first-hand observations of karma yoga. In particular, I am reminded of the keen observations of so many wise luminaries noted above whenever I see how Lucky Six Farms processes their White Sage Products. For example, those responsible for the distillation of our essential oils must exercise as much discretion and care in the practice of their art as any serious painter or writer. Ceaseless monitoring of every variable is required for the living, delicately aromatic core of the White Sage to be successfully concentrated and then preserved.

Karma Yoga Can Be Tested

Karma yoga produces tangible benefits. Those who use Lucky Six Farms White Sage essential oil become a natural extension of this focused, loving process. Indeed, I firmly believe the underlying mindfulness that generates our products powerfully influences all those touched by them to expand their senses, psyches, and understanding. Test my idea for yourself!
