I would love to remember some of the things I knew as a child.
There’s a lot of questions that flit around in my mind about finding happiness, purpose, how to achieve the things I desire.. but it does all come down to that same question of “who am I?”. I suppose understanding our soul’s true purpose would answer all the rest.
This is interesting, comparing the literal and symbolic. Can we hold both to be valid to some extent? I tend to believe that divine patterns exist at different amplitudes throughout nature.
For example, we view the day as 24 hrs. This is a cycle of death of a day and the beginning of a new day, marked by the sun. It was God’s design to have the Sun take a 24 hr cycle at this era of human existence. What if that cycle was longer from our perspective many ages ago?
If you’ve already gone through the prototyping, etc., I recommend making a batch and honestly calculating the costs to make it. Pay yourself a reasonable wage and see what that comes to. Just speaking from my experience, I have a hard time keeping up with a craft if I don’t feel I am making what my time is worth. It’s more inviting to drop the price later rather than raise it.
My favorite vacations these days require very little sightseeing or activities. I most enjoy just bringing my work and my hobbies to a new beautiful place. And of course sitting in nature. Maybe I’m just a little boring, but I love returning to the same place where I know the best spots already
This looks really interesting. Is this speaking in terms of cosmic energies or rulers that exist here in Earth? Hope that makes sense
I am excited to check it out
I’ve looked at my shadows, and whenever I think I’ve learned so much, there is more to look at 🫣
I think this work is so important to really leave behind a better world for the next generation
This is a great question. I tend to think of the soul as something we hold within us that contains our essence and reflects our history. I believe the soul can sustain damage and we can even lose part of this essence through pain and trauma.
On the other hand, spirit feels like a direct connection to the universal energy. It animates our being and gives us life and spirit runs the same through all beings.
Thank you for the review. This is one of my favorite books and I was a little hesitant to start the series. I’m really excited to hear a positive review. My Spanish has gotten rusty so it will be good for me to take some in through a show also.
This is an introduction to this lineage for me. I’ve been studying Hatha Pradipika and the Upanishads recently so some of this resonates with the experiences described in those texts that the practitioner can expect on the path to samadhi. I’m still very much a novice in meditation practices although I’ve been practicing asana and pranayama and regularly for some years. It is important to have a practical path to these methods, like you said.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
I love them all but Villeneuve’s is so epic and beautifully shot. I prefer the beautiful cinematography over accuracy to the books
This is one of those books I thought would never be well-translated into a movie. I think a series is a better fit for a complex book like this. However it turns out, I’m excited to check it out!
That is beautiful. I think most of us usually have a backup of emotion to release. I have really enjoyed listening to a sad song or movie and just letting the tears out. It’s like you said, once I start crying I realize what I needed to release is very real.
I agree completely. Even in the context of trauma, it is like evil is being passed from person to person. I tend to think of it as a force, but a very real thing to contend with. It takes effort to push that force away and not be overtaken.
I am so grateful for the power of water.. strong enough to carve through anything with time. So many of us can fake a smile or a laugh, tears are almost always real emotion coming through and it is beautiful to see.
This post reminds me of one of my favorite passages of all time (from the Brothers Karamazov)
The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens, the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars... Alyosha stood gazing and suddenly, as if he had been cut down, threw himself to the earth.
He did not know why he was embracing it, he did not try to understand why he longed so irresistibly to kiss it, to kiss all of it, but he was kissing it, weeping, sobbing, and watering it with his tears, and he vowed ecstatically to love it, to love it unto ages of ages. "Water the earth with the tears of your joy, and love those tears...," rang in his soul. What was he weeping for? Oh, in his rapture he wept even for the stars that shone on him from the abyss, and "he was not ashamed of this ecstasy."
