Every time a person tries to make another person fit into their reality, a little piece of their soul dies.
“Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form inself on the edge of consciousness.”
― Raymond Chandler

There is only one religion,
the religion of love.
There is only one race,
the race of humanity.
There is only one language,
the language of the heart.
IF...
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man!

Kalimera my dear friends!
..."Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One"...
One

In the darkest place
What was once named consciousness
I'm a miniature
I'm a sketch forfeiting outlines
Irrelevant entity to sanity
A hive for nonsense
For multiple selves
Resonating, but never compromising

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
[Henry James]
they cannot be separated, dissected, synthesized, poisoned with lab cultures
all living things live within other living things, feed on them, interact with each other
consciousness is the force that glue it all together
humans are in no way different, superior, smarter
let alone those who think they can possess and control everything
The little emperor delivers his message...

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS
I have wrapped the wide world in my wider self
And Time and Space my spirit's seeing are.
I am the god and demon, ghost and elf,
I am the wind's speed and the blazing star.
All Nature is the nursling of my care,
I am its struggle and the eternal rest;
The world's joy thrilling runs through me, I bear
The sorrow of millions in my lonely breast.
I have learned a close identity with all,
Yet am by nothing bound that I become;
Carrying in me the universe's call
I mount to my imperishable home.
I pass beyond Time and life on measureless wings,
Yet still am one with born and unborn things.

A Tumultuous Mystical Past - The Cistern Of The Mists by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : Audiomachine - The Fountain of Consciousness (Extended Version)
However in Krudhyn, several thousands years later, in an ancient cave, a mysterious lady with a long blue cloak watches in silence while looking at that rocky, grim and mysterious scenery for a long time. The silence was only interrupted by drops of water that swept from the ceiling and stalactites of the cave.
Her eyes roam the seaweed colored walls and ancient sculptures featuring an Hormath (*), a hybrid creature similar to a winged lion but with goat horns and a dragon's tail and wings.
Old beings from other times that did not exist now in Krudhyn, although some claimed to still exist in the most endearing woods and mountains in the kingdom.
A wet and cold sensation ran through her body as if it were a shiver, but in her case it made her feel comforted.
Since she was young she was attracted to those lugubrious and mysterious environments. In the center flanked by Columns carved in the stone were a circular ground well in the place of an old geyser that periodically gushes water and steam.
The Cistern of Mists was moreover famous for its waters since immemorial times but also for its legends that reverted to the times of the reign of the Underworld Queen, Ahrghylla a Queen Goddess of ancient times and who, according to the legend, was killed in that place by one of the first warrior monks.
While her eyes rest for a long time on the sculpture that reminded a Hormath (*) , a snake crossed the waters right in front of her.
"After all it is true! The snakes have returned to the old cistern ..." - she thought loud as she came closer to see, after all she was never afraid of snakes, on the contrary they exercised on her an unparalleled fascination.
It was the first time in a long period that snakes reappeared in that place as a harbinger of an ancient prophecy "When the Black Snakes appear again in the Old Cistern, the Queen of the Underworld will return ". After all, the rumors were true, the snakes had really returned to that place ...
(*) Hormath : is a term used in Krudhyn to describe a Chimera, a monstrous hybrid creature composed of the parts of more than one animal.
Hormaths spit fire and have the ability to fly.

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
Happy Christmas to all!
Happy Christmas means enjoying real happiness coming from within Christ consciousness. All experience of happiness comes from within, for the source of happiness lies in our self which is our divine self Atman or Christ consciousness being the source of happiness. So all the happiness every being enjoys and experiences comes from within.
Someone may say nice words to us or do nice things to us or give us presents and this activity of the others makes us happy ….. but this happiness comes from inside us for it opens our spiritual heart and lets the love or happiness inherent in it to flow outwards so our body senses can feel it.
This happiness did not came from any where else but from our divine self, for our divine self is the source of happiness and only from it, it can flow outwards.
Our self lies inside our spiritual heart, actually it is our spiritual heart and so love and happiness can flow only from our heart. That is why we say “heart to heart communion” for only between hearts we can have communion of love and joy or bliss.
If we feel sad and experience unhappiness the reason is that we have closed our spiritual heart and the inherent flow of joy that is our self cannot pass and flow through a closed heart. Our false ego being offended closes the door of our spiritual heart and we feel cold and abandoned. No one else has caused this distress we feel, we are the ones that caused this distress by closing the door of our heart so the bliss of Atma, of our self, can not reach our outer body senses. The cause of our unhappiness is not due to others but of our ego self that distance itself from the real self the Atman which sits in our spiritual heart. We feel distress and unhappiness only when we distance away from our divine self and identify with our false ego which is the creation of illusion and ignorance.
So the wise say we are the embodiments of supreme bliss and love, only if you are immersed in ignorance you experience unhappiness and distress. Ignorance is your real enemy for only ignorance is causing you unhappiness. The more the ignorance you have, the more the unhappiness you experience. A rich man is a man who experiences all the time joy, a poor man is the one who experiences distress, fear and agony most of the time with very few intervals of real happiness.
So celebrating the birth of Christ means we celebrate the birth of Christ consciousness inside us by letting the bliss of the Atman to pour to our body senses. To open our hearts and let the bliss of the self to saturate our being!
So we wish you a Happy Christmas means we wish you to open your heart by overcoming ego and ignorance and experience the unlimited joy that lies inside you, inside your Atman, inside your real self!

Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
- Kabir
Light; it sustains, it defines, it blows my mind!...especially dappled light, that dance of light and shadow that entrances the 'I' and silences the 'me'.
To think, that those photons of light bouncing off that dewdropped leaf, took a million years of fighting against the sun's immense gravity to get from the centre of the sun to its surface, then a mere eight minutes to get from there to my eyeball, then a ridiculously tiny nanosecond to reach my consciousness...a piece of the sun is in my head...we are not just stardust, we are starlight...mind, blown!
Above the small bridge allowing us access to the far side, the Luibeg Burn tumbles in full spate from the Scottish Highlands, between the rocks. A nice spot to catch ones breath, but no time to linger, I have a fair way to go yet.
A little series, today, of images created from the same shot which was of a collage I put together of different, multi coloured Squashes in a box. I had fun doing these, I hope you like them. The original collage is at the end of the series.

Have a lovely weekend!
「意識流」(stream of consciousness)原本是心理學的術語，是由美國心理學家威廉·詹姆斯發表《論內省心理學所忽略的幾個問題》一文提出之觀點，他認為人類的思維活動像是切不開、斬不斷的流水，意識如流水般連綿不斷，是一種連續不間斷的流程，不是片段的連接。這是「意識流」概念在心理學上第一次被正式提出，並影響了後世文學、藝術等領域的創作。
但其實與「意識流」相似的思想早已存在佛教經典中，如《佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經》、《往生論註》、《摩訶僧祇律》、《華嚴探玄記》等，形容心識的剎那生滅，快速如流水般相續不斷的。《成唯識論》：「阿賴耶識為斷、為常？非斷、非常，以恆轉故。恆，謂此識無始時來，一類、相續，常無間斷…..。轉，謂此識無始時來，念念生滅前後變異，因滅果生，非常、一故…..。恆，言遮斷，轉表非常，猶如瀑流，因果法爾。…..」形容心識活動如瀑布水流般剎那生滅，不常不斷，相似相續。
