"The great paradox of consciousness is that it constitutes both our entire experience of reality and our blindfold to reality as it really is.  Forever trapped within it, we mistake our concepts of things for the things themselves, our theories for the universe, continually seeing the world not as it is but as we are. The supreme frontier of human freedom may be the ability to accept that something exists beyond understanding, that understanding is a machination of the mind and not a mirror of the world — that the world simply is, and our consciousness is a participant in its being but not a creator of it."  ~ Maria Popova by Evelyn Underhill "The attitude which it involves is an attitude of complete humility and of receptiveness; without criticism, without clever analysis of the thing seen. When you look thus, you surrender your I-hood; see things at last as the artist does, for their sake, not for your own.  The fundamental unity that is in you reaches out to the unity...

 Relax, nothing is under control... "Already captured, mesmerised by the Truth, as a captive of the universe, to get to know its secret, we don’t have to do a thing. Just one word introduces us. Used correctly ‘I’ explodes the human mystery. The same first name of everyone, ‘I’ is the universal password, the PIN code that unlocks and reveals our eternal human secret. Self-knowledge ATMA VIDYA आत्मा विद्या (Light on Self – Light on ‘I’) no longer hidden in taboo and orthodoxy brilliantly explodes our mystery. Pointing out the Truth of the human being that has remained sanathana ever fresh throughout the ages and generations, studying Self-knowledge exposes man’s hidden treasure and destiny." via John and Rachel @Yogaco From Love, Not For Love From The Wholeness, Not The Fragments Who Am I...?  Really? and then there is the whole inclusion of #FutureNow👇 Former @CFTC Chair @timmassad will be among witnesses - along with #Hedera Head of Global Policy @nilminirubin & oth...

Good character evolves over the course of our life experiences. Each bump in the road tests our character, measures how well we choose, gauges the degree to which we live out our ethics and morality , and shows what we’re made of.  The choices we make at these moments—to bravely face the truth rather than trying to hide from it, to let tears reveal our sorrow instead of choking them back to pretend indifference, to turn away from cruel words and not return them—reveal the person we really are.  These micro-choices altogether comprise the big choice of who we want to be, the person we present to the world. Strong character, resilience, authenticity , and genuine self-esteem go hand in hand. Good character is about a collection of positive traits, and it evolves—choice by choice—over the course of someone's life experiences. Here's why that matters, by @JMAndriote https://t.co/vnlsmjMweE — Psychology Today (@PsychToday) April 27, 2023

Please let me adore you. Please let me cherish you.  It is a tender and life giving experience to be cherished. To be cherished is to be held lovingly and with high regard. To be nurtured and uplifted. To be protected and cared for. To be consistent and show up, For Your Self, especially when life gets challenging.  We most often define this word "cherished" as being an experience we give or receive in relationship to others.  Humans, especially many women, are hard wired to be The Carer, The Giver, The Peace Keeper.  What would it look/feel/be like to come to know the definition of to be cherished as something we experience with ourselves? Cherish and Adore and Be Tenderly connected to our own True Nature. First.  What would it mean to give ourselves the holy gift of cherishing the very breath and beauty of our becoming? First.  What does it mean to be vulnerable and intimate with our self? First.  Before ANY others.    Cherished and adored...

" I Care If You Listen " " Freedom ~ Liberation ~ Moksha ~ Wholeness ~ Flow ~ Viveka " In Our Softening by Sophia Subbayya Vastek by  ANNE GOLDBERG-BALDWIN Anne H. Goldberg-Baldwin, D.M.A. (she/her) blurs the definitions of music and dance as a composer, choreographer, performer, and educator. She is Assistant Professor of Composition at Berklee College of Music and is currently pursuing an M.F.A. in Dance at the University of the Arts.   About Anne "In Our Softening, the sophomore piano album by Sophia Subbayya Vastek , is a journey that moves beyond the realm of the piano and into a place of healing and contemplation. After a time of grief, Vastek found herself drawn back to music and healing through an unassuming, old upright piano. Once housed in a desecrated church that had become the home of a hate group, the piano weathered many years of neglect and even a large crack in its soundboard. The church was eventually sold to a good friend of Vastek’s, an...

“If you want to live a more spiritual life, live a more human life. Be more truly, fiercely, heartfully human.” Jeff Brown Author, Teacher,  Enrealment Activist & Grounded Spiritualist "Five Strategies to Deal with a Compulsive Attention-Seeker Stop letting attention-seekers rob you of your  authentic self  and inner peace." by Andrea F. Polard Psy.D. A Unified Theory of Happiness "Receiving incessant attention can cause huge problems for both the demanding person and the community. The demanding person might grow increasingly dependent on external attention and develop a shallow and unstable sense of self. Usually, this causes anxiety , depression , and an angry demand for more and more attention. Most incessant attention-seekers suffer from nagging insecurity and must get their “fix” of attention to feel the resemblance of inner peace.  While he or she might look vibrant, there is a great deal of suffering in “wanting more.”  True happiness is the absence...

 The Frontier Wars 'For the Australian War Memorial to include meaningful exhibits about the wars that were fought on this land would be a powerful act of truth-telling in service of the nation.' #AnzacDay2023 #VoiceToParliament https://t.co/ypSY96imsJ — Michelle Arrow (@MichelleArrow1) April 23, 2023 "The recent media rounds of the new chair of the Australian War Memorial Council, Kim Beazley, appear to presage a major shift in the institution’s attitude to the frontier wars. Beazley explained it is “ enormously important ” that the current $550 million renovation of the war memorial provides significant coverage of violent conflict between settler and Indigenous Australians.  He elaborated : We must give the Aboriginal population the dignity of resistance. Beazley’s attitude, which complements that of Veterans’ Affairs Minister Matt Keogh, signals that the Australian War Memorial is not impervious to the changed political landscape. Yet there remains resistance to Bea...

I accept it all.  One, an all inclusive Universe, must Accept It all.  "One" means; No Thing is excluded.  In ONE Universe.  Of course,  I accept IT all, as One,  but that does NOT mean I agree  To It All.  My acceptance of  "It is what it is"  simply meets One present moment reality as it is,  which is real.  My acceptance of "reality",  as It Is Now,  Here Now,  In Front, beside and behind me,  all around me, 360 degrees of creation, in The One Universe.  (whether I can see "it", choose to see "it" am aware of "it", OR NOT,  "IT" is still happening, right now, as The One Reality)  I may Be WHOLLY aware,  I may choose to Be aware,  I may ignore or even have selective deafness.  I discerningly choose what I may interact with or respond to or tell to get fucked (assholes only, relax)  I accept The totality,  I accept The ABSOLUTE WHOLENESS of The One Universe.  All...

The Healing Tree By Indira Naidoo I watched you Lost in grief Head of stone and cloud, Steps faltering I watched and ached Long before you ever noticed me I craved to cradle you Safe in my limbs To draw you into me Let my sap mingle with your tears With the patience of a lover I waited Until one day You limped into my shade Parched, inconsolable, a broken shell I showed you how sadness could hold you together It didn’t have to be your undoing I can’t fix what has been shattered in you But I can hold you still In this noisy world. Indira Naidoo is one of Australia’s most popular broadcasters. During her 30-year award-winning journalistic career, Ms Naidoo has hosted and reported for some of the country’s most distinguished news and current affair programs. Her first book, the best-selling The Edible Balcony, published in 2011, about growing food in small spaces, has been launched in London, Hong Kong and New York and her second book, The Edible City - about community gardening - was pub...

It's easy to be principled in the yellow zone, when your tribe is behaving admirably. A person's true colors are tested only when yellow isn't an option— when their team and principles are in conflict. Tribal loyalty and principles can't both be sacred— you have to choose one. ABOUT THE BOOK "Hi, I’m Tim. I write the blog Wait But Why, where I write about all kinds of things. But in the middle of 2016, I started thinking about a new topic: why my society sucked. As technology soared ahead, it seemed like we were going backwards in wisdom. Tribalism was flaring up everywhere, mass shaming campaigns were roaring back into fashion, politicians were increasingly clown-like, public discourse had become a battle of one-dimensional narratives. I decided to write about it, which plunged me into a rabbit hole like no other. Six years later, I emerged with this book . The book introduces a new framework for thinking about our complex political environment. With dozens of ne...
