On Spirit removing what is no longer in alignment.

As long as the ego dominates the individual, he cannot have the oceanic or transcendental experiences that make life meaningful. Since the ego recognizes only direct causes, it cannot admit the existence of forces beyond its comprehension. Thus, not until the ego bows down to a higher power (as in prayer, for instance) can an individual have a truly religious experience. Not until the ego surrenders to the body in sex can a person have an orgiastic experience. And only when the ego abdicates before the majesty of nature will a person have a mystical experience. In each case, the dissolution of the ego returns the individual to the state of unity and continuum in which "moving" experiences are possible.

They recruit your life force.”

It’s like watching Babylon crumble.”

What was your journey like to ancestral veneration? Was it something that was already consciously taught through your upbringing (Colombian side or another), or something you figured out on your own through years of thought and introspection? I love what you share

‘Before Egypt Was’, c.1940 - Eduard Buk Ulreich (1889–1966)

Obsession is baseless emotion; mad devotion is sacred structure. Endurance is the mark of Maa’s red disciple.

[theweightofdivinity]

In an era where obsession is so often romanticized, obsession leads someone to seek possessing you, while devotion and true devotees seek transformation within a union, within companionship. One is driven by fear, the other is driven by the desire to grow alongside another. The difference: steadiness vs. an inevitable collapse.
