The reader may recall the legend about a jealous Brahma trying to keep humans from discovering their divinity. Brahma called a council of the gods to help decide on the right place to conceal their divinity. ‘Let’s bury it deep in the earth,’ said one of the gods. But Brahma said, ‘No, that will not do because humans will eventually dig into the earth and discover it.’ Then another said, ‘Let’s hide it in the deepest part of the ocean.’ But Brahma said, ‘No, they will eventually dive down into the ocean and will discover it.’ Another said, ‘Let’s take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.’ But once again Brahma replied, ‘No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and will find it.’ The assembly fell silent.
Brahma sat quietly and thought for a long time and then said, ‘Well, there is one place they will never look’. ‘Where’s that?’, the gods queried eagerly. ‘They will never look inside their own hearts’, said Brahma. ‘If we hide it there, they shall never find it!’

Surely the refugees are our fellow humans, are we going to be afraid of those who have nothing?
It would be easy to become a victim of our circumstances and continue feeling sad, scared or angry; or instead, we could choose to deal with injustice humanely and break the chains of negative thoughts and energies, and not let ourselves sink into it.

You must have the capacity to doubt, so that you will discover through that doubt what is truth, what is the essential and the lasting. But to doubt everything requires strength of intelligence, of thought, because from morning to night you have to be ceaselessly questioning, demanding, urging. What is life but a mere existence – earning money, gathering and rejecting experience, with all its sorrows – what is its value unless you live like a tremendous volcano that is a danger to everything?

Mystischer Krieger
Ich bin ein Veteran des Seelen-Krieges
Aus der Unterwelt zurück kann ich eines mit Gewissheit sagen:
Die Reinigung der Seele findet in der Hölle statt
(Zum besseren Verständnis - es ist die eigene innere Hölle der selbstzerfleischenden Emotionen gemeint - nicht die Hölle christlicher Vorstellung! )
HKD
Der Kampf Geist gegen Körper – Körper gegen Geist
endet mit dem Tod oder er bleibt unentschieden und erhebt das Bewusstsein auf eine erweiterte Perspektive. Durch Selbsterkenntnis und Weisheit entsteht innerer Friede wo vorher ein unbändiger innerer Kampf zwischen Triebinstinkten tobte schwebt das Bewusstsein über den Gegensätzen.
HKD
Heute las ich:
Eine Kraft ist ein Feind, wenn du sie nicht liebst. Was man nicht kennt, kann man nicht lieben. Wenn du die Kraft kennengelernt hast und eins geworden bist mit ihr, gibt es keinen Feind mehr.

Hades, sie psychische Unterwelt mit all ihrer Selbstgeißelung, wird von der Oberwelt lieber gemieden. Wer nicht zu dem Gang durch die Tiefen berufen ist, darf sie weiterhin meiden, doch ist es an der Zeit, dass die Kinder der Unterwelt, die Pilger durch die eigene Seele, eine Anerkennung erfahren und nicht als dekadent oder für geistig krank gehalten werden.
Hades, der Herrscher der Unterwelt ist der rechtmäßige Bruder von Zeus, dem Herrscher der Oberwelt. Der Krieg zwischen den beiden Welten kann beigelegt werden, wenn man die dunkle Kraft und ihre Weisheit kennengelernt hat. Die Liebe zu Hades, wie sie Persephone erreichte, erlöste sie von seinem Fluch und ihrem inneren Kampf gegen die Obsessionen die eine ungeliebte Unterwelt erzeugen kann.
Die Kreuzüge gegen die Unterwelt haben keinen Sieg der Oberwelt gebracht im Gegenteil, die Kinder der Oberwelt verfallen dunklen Süchten statt die Geschenke des Herrschers bewusst annehmen zu können.
Wer den Mut hat, sich mit den Kräften der Unterwelt bewusst und vorurteilsfrei auseinanderzusetzen, wird inneren Frieden finden.
Danke fürs Anschauen. Danke für den Mut.

The patriarch Jacob's famous pillow and dream. In preparation for sleeping at the Temple of Jerusalem (some versions say he slept at Luz, just outside Jerusalem), Jacob took twelve stones from the same altar upon which his father, Isaac, had lain bound as a sacrifice. The twelve stones (representing the twelve tribes of Israel, not yet born) came together and formed a single stone, which Jacob then used as a pillow. In a magnificent dream, Jacob beheld the course of the world's history, including the future destruction of this temple, and he saw a ladder stretching from where he lay to the highest point in Heaven; angels were ascending and descending this heavenly ladder in a continuous process. Jacob, upon awaking, took the stone and set it up like a pillar and anointed it with oil he had received from Heaven. God sank this anointed stone so deep into the abyss that it could serve as the center of the Earth and the world's navel, to be known as the Even HaShetiyah. In other words, Jacob's "pillow" and the base of what is often called Jacob's Ladder, was the Foundation Stone. This site is also known as Bethel, "Gate or House of Heaven" or "House of the God El." A similar night journey took place here sometime before 622. That traveler was the Muslim prophet, Muhammad. He was conveyed from near the Ka'aba in Mecca in Saudi Arabia to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on a celestial winged creature called al-Buraq (Lightning), which was a horse with the face of a woman and a peacock's tail. From the Foundation Stone, Muhammad ascended the Ladder of Lights through the Seven Heavens, accompanied by innumerable angels and witnessed by many ascended prophets, most notably the Archangel Gabriel. Muhammad was brought before the Divine Presence as the experiential pinnacle of his journey and informed that men should recite prayers fifty times daily.Palingenesia liberates the soul and is a reversal of physical birth (which imprisoned the soul in the body). This spiritual birth leads (thanks to the presence of a spiritual master and an initiatory father/son-relationship) to the soul's perfection through the knowledge of God, a "baptism in intellect" (IV.3-4). In the process of purification and Self-knowledge, traditional rituals may have been used, but the higher mysteries (the Hermetic initiation proper) involved a "mental" or "spiritual" sacrifice (I.31), the offering of hymns of praise and thanksgiving. The ritual and the noetic were thus fully integrated.Spirit forms thefinal member, whichin the same way constitutes an enneadic system, only that in thiscase we come upon enneads innines. Thisiseasily understood,since here allthathas been so far developed,isunited together. In accordance withthis,all the first members, the members, a,according to the ground plan, nothing ...
Indeed, the "Nous", the Divine intellect or "soul of God", binds together the hierarchy of God, the world (of the Deities, minerals, plants & animals) and man. In particular, "Nous" is the way of the human soul to free itself from the snares of the flesh and be illuminated by the "light" of the "gnosis", for indeed, God is experienced as light. A "good Nous" will be able to repel the assaults of the world. The spiritual master becomes a personification of this Divine intellect. The master becomes one with the Divine Nous ("I am Mind") in the initiation of his disciple. In Hermetism, this "Nous" is personified by Hermes Trismegistus, the Universal Mind of the "highest Power" (situated on the Enneadic plane).
A dream pillow is a small pouch or pillow placed on or under the pillow to bring pleasant dreams, and keep bad dreams away. It can be made out of any old cloth, or cloth pouch, of any color that represents dreams to the sleeper. The dream pouch is stuffed with sweet-smelling herbs and should be blessed by the deities of your choice (I chose Morpheus and Aradia). In my dream pouch, I used hops, jasmine flowers, lavender, mugwort, Valerian, and chamomile. Sweetgrass, star anise, marigold, or skullcap can also be used, or a few of these herbs in different combinations. Also, different books on herbalism and witchcraft will have different recipes. As long as it smells good and dreamy to you. Fatigue is the best pillow : warmed up by the early sun and dreams in the flow of water. These sticks bound his resting territory on a pink grey stone matress. The sleeper laid his head onto his hands, which are warmed up by the stones,the colour harmony of his dress and of the stones are a sweet camouflage, has this sleeper his morning spot ?How to Make a Dream Pillow to Program Your Dream ContentA dream pillow is a comforting device that helps relax you at night. Certain scents may even induce vivid, more imaginative and possibly even lucid dreams (especially if you link these scents to reality checks). The idea is that you fill your pillow with specific herbs and essential oils which you naturally inhale during your sleep. According to historic experiments by Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys (1822-1892) aromas can have powerful effects on your dreams. One summer, he took a bottle of an unfamiliar scent on his travels to France. He whiffed his scent-laden handkerchief by day and, on returning home, put the bottle away. When a servant sprinkled a few drops of this scent on his pillow at night, he dreamed again of visiting the mountains of Ardeche...What causes this to happen? Smells are processed in the brain's limbic system, an area closely associated with memory and emotion. So even though smell is not a primary sense for humans, a little whiff can invoke powerful emotions. We also know that our dreams are emotional realms: a place where we can express unresolved emotions from the waking day before. So anything that shapes our emotions, shapes our dreams. Put these two together, and a dream pillow can make for a surprisingly effective way to program your dreams...Who Are Dream Pillows For? Anyone with a sense of smell can use a dream pillow. Though the concept may sound a little fluffy, dream pillows are based on a scientific understanding of how smells and emotions are processed and expressed in the brain. Think right now: what smell from your childhood throws you back in time? Is there any way you could obtain that smell for your dream pillow? For me, a powerful scent is that of the acrylic paint we used in my first primary school. It reminds me of being in class again at five years old, wearing those giant plastic aprons and using special pots of water with a hole in the lid. If I close my eyes I can "see" the classroom, my classmates, and the giant teacher (remember how grown-ups were identifiable by their legs at that age?) It's a powerful memory for me, all generated by a smell. Dream pillows have numerous applications. Shamans believed that scent pillows carried messages from the gods, so there is a spiritual history in dream pillows. In medicine, nurses give "comfort pillows" to patients in hospitals to help cover up the smell of medicines (which can cause stress and lead to psychosomatic symptoms). You are probably aware of negative emotions that hit you on walking into a hospital or doctor's surgery - this is likely a scent-based reaction. Dream pillows are also handy for healthy folk, too, and here I've researched some of the best scents to improve your dream awareness, which can lead to highly vivid dreams and perhaps even lucid dreams. Some of these relaxing aromatherapy scents may also help deter nightmares, night terrors, and other stress-related sleep disorders.Fatigue is the best pillow : warmed up by the early sun and dreams in the flow of water.

You can buy a scented dream pillow online or make your own. It's pretty easy to do. Here's what you'll need:Step #1 - Choose a small pillow case or find some silk material and cut it into two rectangles about 6 by 11 inches (to form the top and bottom of your scented pillow).Step #2 - With the two pieces of fabric back to back, stitch three sides together. Then turn the pocket inside out so the silky side is now outside. All the stitching is now neat and tidy on the inside of the cushion.Step #3 - Now grab your mesh bag and fill it with dried aromatherapy herbs and flowers. I've written some suggested combinations below. For lucid dreams, add a few drops of aromatherapy essential oils (see below).Step #4 - Add two teaspoons of orris root to your mesh bag as a fixative to make the scents last longer. Then tie the bag off with string.Step #5 - Slide the herb mesh bag into your pillow and pack the stuffing around it. Be careful not to over-pack the pillow case so the scents can still "breathe". Stitch up the open edge or attach Velcro so that you can replace the herbs and scents over time (this also makes your dream pillow easily washable).How to Make a Dream Pillow?

Perhaps it's a particular perfume or aftershave that gets you going. Even food smells can be contained in a dream pillow: the very pages of a book I'm reading smell distinctly like McDonald's packaging... and I wonder why I get hungry whenever I read it...
The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily started with "wearied by the toil of the day." this tale is one of the most important stories of the Anthroposophic and Rosicrucian streams. It is a timeless, allegorical tale of initiation and had a profound impact on Rudolf Steiner and on the formulation of his teachings. He called the fairy tale a kind of "secret revelation," an "apocalypse." A true fairy story is a work of art. At Michaelmas in 1795, a series of stories appeared, of which the concluding one was a fairy tale: The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.The tale tells of magical transformation—one that, when the time is at hand, can be experienced by anyone. The author of these stories was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and the creation of his fairy tale would have far-reaching consequences.This edition of Goethe’s fairy tale arose from illustrator David Newbatt’s inspiration to join Thomas Carlyle’s English translation with a new series of pictures. The purpose is to reveal the sevenfold process that unfolds within Goethe's fairy tale—a process that forms a path of inner development and personal transformation.In addition to the translation by Thomas Carlyle and the series of seven pictures by David Newbatt, The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily includes an introduction by Tom Raines.About The Book: The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily is a fairy tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published in 1795. The story revolves around the crossing and bridging of a river, which represents the divide between the outer life of the senses and the ideal aspirations of the human being. It has been claimed that it was born out of Goethe's reading of The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz and that it is full of esoteric symbolism. Because of this, I was pondering over whether to put it into the Esoteric section, but decided to put it in Classics instead, because despite the esotericism of the book, it is primarily set down as a fairy tale.The tale begins with two will-o'-the-wisps who wake a ferryman and ask to be taken across a river. The ferryman does so, and for payment, they shake gold from themselves into the boat. This alarms the ferryman, for if the gold had gone into the river, it would overflow. He demands as payment: three artichokes, three cabbages, and three onions, and the will-o'-the-wisps may depart only after promising to bring him such. The ferryman takes the gold up to a high place, and deposits it into a rocky cleft, where it is discovered by a green snake who eats the gold, and finds itself luminous. This gives the snake opportunity to study an underground temple where we meet an old man with a lamp which can only give light when another light is present. The snake now investigates the temple, and finds four kings: one gold, one silver, one bronze, and one a mixture of all three.The story then switches over to the wife of the old man, who meets a melancholy prince. He has met a beautiful Lily, but is distressed by the fact that anyone who touches her will die. The snake is able to form a temporary bridge across the river at midday, and in this way, the wife and prince come to the beautiful Lily's garden, where she is mourning her fate. As twilight falls, the prince succumbs to his desire for the Beautiful Lily, rushes towards her, and dies. The green snake encircles the prince, and the old man, his wife, and the will-o'-the-wisps form a procession and cross the river on the back of the snake.Back in the land of the senses, and guided by the old man, the Lily is able to bring the prince back to life — albeit in a dream state — by touching both the snake and the prince. The snake then sacrifices itself, and changes into a pile of precious stones which are thrown into the river. The old man then directs them towards the doors of the temple which are locked. The will-o'-the-wisps help them enter by eating the gold out of the doors. At this point, the temple is magically transported beneath the river, surfacing beneath the ferryman's hut — which turns into a silver altar. The three kings bestow gifts upon the sleeping prince and restore him. The fourth, mixed king collapses as the will-o'-the-wisps lick the veins of gold out of him. We also find that Lily's touch no longer brings death. Thus, the prince is united with the beautiful Lily, and they are married. When they look out from the temple, they see a permanent bridge which spans the river — the result of the snake's sacrifice — "and to the present hour the Bridge is swarming with travellers, and the Temple is the most frequented on the whole Earth".

Zur Selbsterkenntnis Verurteilte
Man kommt nicht nach dem Tod in die Hölle, die Erde, das Leben unter bestimmten äußeren oder psychischen Bedingungen ist die Hölle. Die glühenden Emotionen, die nicht ausgelebt werden dürfen und unterdrückt werden müssen, das ist die Hölle. Selbstverurteilung, Selbstunterdrückung und Selbstkasteiung, das ist die innere Hölle.
Die äußere Hölle erleben jene, die von Krieg oder Katastrophen heimgesucht werden. Menschen, die an ihrer Psyche leiden, die Psychopathen, sie erleben die Hölle. Manche vergessen in ihrem Leid, dass es einen Wiederaufstieg gibt. Die Auferstehung als Metapher ist eine psychisch erfahrbare Möglichkeit. Die griechische Göttin Persephone (Hades’ Gattin) zeigt in ihrem Mythos, dass man die eine Hälfte des Jahres in der Unter- und die andere Hälfte in der Oberwelt verbringen kann. Das ergibt die Weisheit der Tiefe mit den Freuden und Festen des Olymp. Gute Aussichten für Psychonauten und Unterweltreisende. Der unangenehme Spaß hat einen Sinn…

She ever suffers and is kind
There’s never evil nor envy on Her Mind
She never needs to see the proof
Yet She rejoices in the Truth
She bears all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
And ever believes
Love never faileth
Love never faileth
Love never faileth
Though I speak with the tongues of men
And of angels
And have not Love
I am nothing
Though I have the gift of prophecy
And understand all mysteries
And all knowledge
Though I have all faith
So I can remove mountains
And have not Love
I am nothing
O I know one day we will meet face to face
Within that ocean of Her Grace
My Heart will say:
“I AM the Way
Love never faileth
Love never faileth
Love never faileth.”
Adapted from 1 Corinthians:13
Ganga Fondan, 2009
Every time I get exhausted and want to give up, this passage from the bible always guides my heart. To trust and surrender to Love and to know that She can never fail is the Light that moves my whole life onward. She waits silently and lifts me through the hardest moments. She urges me to recognize myself in her Light. I cannot yet see the butterfly wings opening but I feel a subtle shift each day. She whispers and holds me and tells me that I Am a progeny of Love and that Love can never fail.

The serie, for brasilian Father 's day,
and personal a tribute to a symbolic brazilian father,
Sir. Miguel Arraes,
who died yesterday.
Our symbolic fathers are dying.
Brazilian Federal Deputy Miguel Arraes, was the president of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), and became famous as an opponent to Brazil's military dictatorship between 1964 and 1985.
It's not easy right now to believe in anything here.
Even doing it, I was in doubt about making this tribute, because so much of our hope was stolen. Many, like me, have been fighting and thinking that the Worker's Party was the best way, the only hope... now we are looking to the Party covered by shame, because we fighted more than 20 years for an ethic flag, and those last days there was discovered stupid and unbelivable corruption inside the Party's direction.
When I wrote this tribute, I was asking myself if he really was a great guy, if I stil could trust in someone.
This is the worst feeling, and sometimes I feel lost.
I decided to make it, because we need to belive, to believe in something until it ends, and the opposition of this man to Brazil's military dictatorship was great, deserves a tribute.

☀️Solar Plexus Chakra☀️ The main meanings associated with the third chakra are: Will, personal power Taking responsibility for one’s life, taking control Mental abilities, the intellect Forming personal opinions and beliefs Making decisions, setting the direction Clarity of judgments Personal identity, personality Self-assurance, confidence Self-discipline Independence When the Solar Plexus chakra is open and the energy in this center is balanced, these functions naturally find a clear and effortless outlet. However, in case the flow of energy is disturbed, whether because the Manipura chakra is overactive or blocked, symptoms may range from energetic and emotional to physical. Chakra Element: Fire The Manipura chakra is traditionally related to the element of fire, though some contemporary healing movements connect it to the element of air. It has a connection with the sun, heat, the energy of light, all forms of power. Chakra Color: Yellow The Solar Plexus chakra is most commonly represented with the color yellow. Since it’s associated with the element of fire, it is also sometimes depicted with yellowish red. Chakra Location: Solar Plexus The most commonly accepted location for the third chakra is at the solar plexus level, between the navel and the lower part of the chest. That’s why it’s often referred to as the “solar plexus chakra.” Some traditions place it more loosely in the navel area. Closely connected to the digestive system, especially the gastric and hypogastric plexi, its main function is to help transform matter into energy to fuel your body. It governs metabolism and is commonly associated with the pancreas. Chakra Symbol The main elements of the Solar Plexus chakra symbol are: A circle with ten petals An downward-pointing triangle The inverted triangle represents the fire element and the transformative power of this energy center. Fire turns matter into energy that can be used to propel, move forward. The ten petals are often represented with the color blue, like the blue color of the flame. @daniolivier_art @antoniodjanikian #solarplexus #chakra #yellow #selfworth #abdundance #ganesha #selfknowledge
