Chrysalis: 1.4 – Philosophy
|
Gratitude & Giving (part 4) Honestly, I feel like it’s a pretty huge jump in thinking and acting to shift one’s focus from caring only about taking what I need from the world to focussing on what I’m adding to it. It felt really, really difficult the first half of the week but now that I’m in the second half it’s getting better. Today I realized there was a certain joy in just participating and giving unconditionally – just to be in that flow of energy rather than constantly feeling blocked.
Everything flowed better today, I felt more creative and more inspired and I’m sure that this has something to do with shifting my focus. I feel like I’m undoing a lot of subconscious patterning that I have no use for anymore (namely the constant focus on lack and scarcity). As a result I’m finally feeling substantially less pressured and stressed out today than I have been the first few days that I started this project. |

Dark Matter
Looking for transcendent beauty in an environment that doesn’t see the need for transcendence, in a culture that doesn’t acknowledge its reality. Within the walls of this glass city lie endless prayers to survival needs. Ancient fears and apocalyptic visions

To Fellow Travelers
“You must be the source of your own illumination; remain tenacious, patient, determined. Some days you won’t be able to summon any of these feelings, and in that case, give yourself the day off. But come morning, rise again.” -

The Moment
We are free in the moment. The moment is not the past nor is it the future. The breath anchors us to the present because the breath is always in the moment. This moment sees full freedom of choice. It
