When life gives you lemons, make (pink) lemonade. In hard times such as these, we have the choice, as it may well be wise, to soften, in order to better receive. What is yours that is good for the gander? Is it not better self taught than not? What is it that is ours to know, and intimately? What is it that you want to know? Is it time to master your craft or art?
As elucidated in the “Cult of Hathor-Isis and the Mother Archetype” articles, the Great Mother archetype belonging to the sphere of the Divine Feminine is the single most important archetype, or energy-laden image, held in the collective unconscious of humanity. It transcends any barriers that might pertain to culture, gender, race or creed.
In order to fully grasp the discourse presented in the two articles of the “It’s all Greek to me” educational blog tour entitled, “The Cult of Hathor-Isis and the Mother Archetype” (Part One and Two), it is necessary to provide a brief overview of the Jungian principles used to support my hypothesis on the Divine Feminine and the Great Mother Goddess.
This blog is intended to share how to begin working with dreams. Before, I pass along the basic questions to ask upon awakening it is important to go over some fundamental concepts.
Fundamentals:
When writing or speaking of a dream do so in the present tense. This allows feelings to come to surface and triggers memories of the dream. Begin the sentence with I am
No longer will I feel ashamed of expressing love. It has become something I believe this world desperately needs. The key is this: it’s simple – you can give it to yourself.
A consciously designed experience that takes you on an infinite journey, from outside global issues to inner self-reflection. Realizing the power within to BE the Change we would like to see in the world, to BE the Divine Co-creator of our Reality
The individual that we become is more often then not a determination of the influences of the environment we find ourselves immersed. The cliché `You are a product of your environment’ holds many truths. The question that it begs to ask: Is it possible to overcome these influences to have a more direct affect on their outcome?
And having lost track, I walked
toward the open field. Now transparent,
now far, the day-moon burned through the waste
air. I passed a scientist, his hands
holding cinders to the sky.
I passed a pile of corroding metal,
a young girl with a ring of keys.
The sound of a flute came and went.
I passed a garden under snow, a half-open book,
City-slickers on a mission
walkin’ dirty sidewalks with tunnel vision,
obediently,
without getting sidetracked
or mixed up with them,
you know,
those one’s who’ve been kicked to the curb,
so now they sleep on it
next to cigarette butts, bugs, and bird shit.
Because they’re not working
this world says they don’t deserve it:
Dignity and respect aren’t for the worthless
Life is not about finding yourself; it’s about “creating” your self. I realize now that I am in a constant state of self-monitoring, while at the same time unfazed by peoples reactions to who or what I have become. In addition to being ultra postmodern, I am also a combination of my compulsions, my idealistic “self” and my natural rebelliousness.
If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves.
One shot fired through the empty room,
My spirit stays asleep.
My mouth begs for your open thoughts of doom
To trickle down the slippery slope.
Your "mind" tells you how,
"You" follow.
I wonder what difference it would make
In another life, if I was rich,
If I was strong,
If I thought like you, where would we be?
In the same empty room
With "priceless" things scattered abroad
Artistic vision goes hand-in-hand with awareness. Making images has been a major tool for my understanding of self, selves, and Self. Current currents of thought, energy and exploration are reflected in both the content and qualities of my work.
Accustomization is the killer of the self-willing being, for accustomization has trained the human mind to operate, function, and compute in a systematized, routed mechanism. Were its comfortable routine deleted, the mind would malfunction, would in a word, crash. This seems to be a flaw in our current system of Humanity.
I dont know if you are at all familiar with something called a Matrix, (I am not referring to the movie, I honestly haven't even seen it) It's probably relevant but I'm instead going to give you some information that you haven't already considered. The following, when done appropriately, is the key to life. The Big Secret. First of all, do you believe Everything is connected to everything else?
Hi Asheville...I'm Bill. I live in Fuquay-Varina and this is the closest I can be physically with other Evolvers. I have been a fish out of water (really) since leaving the shores of our Mother's blood (San Diego) and really need to hook up with any of you who share my interests.
