There are wolves hiding in the gray flock; characters who still know what freedom is. This is a ruler's worst nightmare.

I believe that we have the choice: I preferred the living wonders of the God. I daily weigh up my whole life and I continue to regard the fiery brilliance of the God as a higher and fuller life than the ashes of rationality. The ashes are suicide to me. I could perhaps put out the fire but I cannot deny to myself the experience of the God. Nor can I cut myself off from this experience. I also do not want to, since I want to live. My life wants itself whole.

-- C. G. Jung, The Red Book

These curse of completeness.

Mythological deities born unfazed by the trail of time. A mere instruction and Being disfigures the Law of the Universe. No stages of life that humble the self and reform it. Annihilation is outward, never integrated. To be born invincible, complete, amplifies one's insensibility and by default one's "lethargic" cruelty. How precious humanity suddenly seems... hence its predestined agony and otherworldly ecstasy, denied even to the deities of nonsensical order... but the soul's resilience has to thrive beyond the perimeters of servility... the amnesiac "Infinity" must remember itself.

Absolutely exquisite. If this was all you wrote in the Cosmic Book after you spent a lifetime here, it would have been enough. But it shall not be the only thing, I am certain of it. @majestativa 🌹🎩

The Golden Ratio continues, to consume, and to create. Whether one is aware of it, or not.

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness, and worship without awareness.

Green Tara Mandala with Syllable Mantra. Green Tara is the most famous female Buddha in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon. She is also known as ‘Mother of all Buddhas’ and is regarded the female manifestation of active compassion. Green Tara stretches out her right foot and is therefore ready to step down and help all who call out for her or recite her mantra. She reaches out to grant all wishes and there are many stories of people that were saved from difficulties or fears when calling her name. Being one of the most revered deities of Tibetan Buddhism, Tara is often seen as one of the first emancipated women. The story goes she was a very devoted girl who used to pray for hours and making extensive offerings to the Buddhas. But when other, male, practitioners noticed her capacity they told her this was all useless unless she would pray for a next incarnation in a male body, as this would be the only way to reach enlightenment. But Green Tara had the deep insight that ‘female’ or ‘male’ are just labels we put on things and therefore she made the following adamantine vow: ‘Until Samsara is empty, I shall work for the benefit of all sentient beings in a woman’s body.’ Thus she did, she became one of the first enlightened women.

"What I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity."

Hermann Hesse

[baron-amaro]

It is indeed, very un-European.

Like Hesse also says: "People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest."

cultivate your attention

be conscious of your sense impressions, your thoughts, your impulses

observe discomfort and expand in it

notice unease, the sense of misalignment, correct accordingly

establish rituals that remind you of your higher self

do not shy away from difficulty

let joy enter you
