Thanks to our Friend for sending us this beautiful art
~*~
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others,
Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
or to any man or number of men,
Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young, and with the mothers or families.
Re-examine all you have been told
in school or church or in any book,
Dismiss whatever insults your own soul;
And your very flesh shall be a great poem…
And have the richest fluency, not only in its words,
But in the silent lines of its lips and face,
And between the lashes of your eyes,
and In every motion and joint of your body.
~Walt Whitman
(Preface to Leaves of Grass, 1855 edition)

Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. The new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.

“In Asia, we say that there are three sources of energy–sexual, breath, and spirit…You need to know how to reestablish the balance, or you may act irresponsibly. According to Taoism and Buddhism, there are practices to help reestablish that balance, such as meditation or martial arts. You can learn the ways to channel your sexual energy into deep realizations in the domains of art and meditation. The second source of energy is Chi, breath energy. Life can be described as a process of burning. In order to burn, every cell in our body needs nutrition and oxygen…Some people cultivate their Chi by refraining from smoking and talking, or by practicing conscious breathing after talking a lot…The third source of energy is than, spirit energy. When you don’t sleep at night, you lose some of this kind of energy. Your nervous system becomes exhausted and you cannot study or practice meditation well, or make good decisions. You don’t have a clear mind because of lack of sleep or from worrying too much. Worry and anxiety drain this source of energy. So don’t worry. Don’t stay up too late. Keep your nervous system healthy. Prevent anxiety. These kinds of practices cultivate the third source of energy. You need this source of energy to practice meditation well. A spiritual breakthrough requires the power of your spirit energy, which comes about through concentration and knowing how to preserve this source of energy. When you have strong spirit energy, you only have to focus it on an object, and you will have a breakthrough. If you don’t have than, the light of your concentration will not shine brightly, because the light emitted is very weak”

Hey Sweetie,
Happy Friday!!!
We made it to another weekend.
I'm so glad you are here
I hope that something I've posted
Will Brighten your day and Nourish your soul
There is a program on NetFlix
That I have watched about ten times
I have learned so much from it
It helped me to QUESTION the stories of our past
It doesn't teach any particular ideas
But it provides alternatives to think about
How we as a species developed through history
Are we, today, the height of human progress
Or was there a time in the past
When humankind was more developed
It is entitled
The Pyramid Code
There are five episodes
It starts out more about history
But then it moves on into the spiritual
I highly recommend watching it
(several times)
