I think it’s Date, I hope it’s Date, I want it to be Date,, I don’t know if it’s Date.

I just really wanted to Aranea and also practice drawing some more dynamic poses, so this was really fun! 😊

Needed to replace my Wolf 359 mug and decided to get this delightful tote bag while I was at it.

PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING

Depth:

I seem to be getting used to the recently found depth of intuitive mind. The new depth is where my attention operates in a somewhat expanded manner. The regularity of manner is telling me that my attention is getting used to it. This expansion may be irreversible. Irreversibly good.

It is almost as if there is an end of one’s piercing one directional attention. A narrow manner of being attentive, when given direction, reaches an end of sorts. With not much left to explore piercingly, attention expands, having forgotten how to be inattentive. In my opinion, the expanded version of one’s attention is referred to as ‘change in consciousness’. I don’t think consciousness changes. It’s our ability to broaden understanding that undergoes a success.

Also, intuitive imagery by itself may not be of importance. What seems to stand out in the intuitive sphere of my mind is the presence of Peace. Whether it is white noise kind of imagery as a background to one’s meditation or whether it is the uttered meditational instruction or whether it is the effort to follow such self-instructions: in the intuitive sphere, Peace runs through it all.

It is possible that Peace’s first job is to purify feelings attached to passing thoughts. Thoughts aren’t necessarily being generated by a fully stretched out attention. However, the feelings joined to any given thought begins undergoing a change. Instead of a self centred fearful amygdala making us flight, fight or freeze, the Prince of Peace makes us act creatively. ‘Prince of Peace’ is part of one of Paramahansa Yogananda’s affirmations.

As I write this blog entry at sunrise on 30th January 2022, I have one set of circumstances that would have me worried. The same situation till about a week back had the power to put my waking-working mind in an uncontrolled downward spin that I would have to hold together with escape mechanisms such as scrolling on Facebook. Not this morning though. Every time I have given attention to the possibility of a problem at hand, I find Peace surging up with reassurance. Peace is an insurmountable hurdle for worry.
