~ on the purpose of the sun ~

~ on the purpose of the sun ~

Oh, Sun, you ancient being of the solar centre.
Why do you exist, what motivates you to shine?
Is your purpose to imbue purpose within life?
In the development of consciousness?
or are you just an accidental ball of nuclear?

The sun, existing in material space and time,
No inherent purpose, it simply is; a natural object that exists;
In the universe, gravity, slowing down time;
Vital source to the existence of life on Earth.
Without the sun’s energy, no life, no consciousness.

I value you, oh Sun, for life and consiousness!
Activator of seasonal change in weather patterns
Power wheel of the water cycle,
Essential for plant growth and food production.
Established constant radiance of heat to make earth habitable for life.
Establishing the cycle of birth, growth and decay.
Light rays opens the spectrum of light for eyes to see
Ultraviolet radiation stimulate vitamin D, essential element for human health.
Don’t you also open the third eye of illumination?

I greet you ancient Wisdom of spiritual illumination,
Focus of worship for eons, in human imagination,
Oh, Sun, you spiritual being of great cosmic intelligence.
Bringer of light and warmth, essential for physical and spiritual life on Earth.
Source of the vital life force that animates all living things, hidden in breath.
Shaper of human consciousness to awaken a higher spiritual man.
Gateway to spiritual worlds, I acknowledge You!

Oh, Sun, your purpose is a mystery,
But your importance to life is clear.
You are the source of energy and light,
Essential for all that we hold dear.
Thank you, Sun, for all that you give
To mankind, equally to each without judgement.

~ the law of three ~

I have always been fascinated by the law of three, which states that everything has its cause and effect. This morning, I decided to experiment with this law by changing my modus operandi. Instead of diving straight into the magical process of writing, I first read from my spiritual journal to feed my mind. I’m not sure whether writing should precede reading or the other way around, but whatever it may be, I’m trying to bring active and passive together in my morning routine. I hope that the law of three, employed in this change, will manifest deeper insights and accelerate my spiritual progress.

The law of three states that everything has its cause-and-effect relationship. It also says that cause-and-effect happens on multiple planes. What we are manifesting on the physical plane is not the complete picture. We might not be fully aware of all the consequences. When we lack awareness of this important law, we may steal money, for example, and experience wealth on the physical plane, but deteriorate on the moral plane and be totally impoverished on the spiritual plane.

This principle can be defined as the law of karma, however, it is more accurate to say that the principle remains constantly active and that act and thought vibrate on different levels of awareness. This is the lesson of karma that brings karmic justice to the forefront. We act on a thought, and that action might not justify fulfilling the thought, but it also ripples out as a karmic ripple into our future, our relationships, and even the common effect on the community in which we live and with which we associate.

Our Western paradigm has gone so far down the physical and individual route that we have lost touch with the spiritual and community consequences. It is up to everyone to reunite these opposites in their own life to bring back a sense of calm and strength that is not individual, but brings peace and harmony to the community.

The law of three can be a helpful guide for making choices in our lives. When we are faced with a decision, we can ask ourselves, “What are the potential consequences of this action, both for myself and for others?” By being aware of the law of three, we can make choices that are more likely to create positive karmic ripples.

The law of three can also help us to forgive ourselves and others. When we make a mistake, we can remind ourselves that the law of three is in effect. We can also offer forgiveness to those who have wronged us, knowing that their actions will eventually come back to them.

The law of three can be a source of strength and inspiration. When we are feeling discouraged, we can remind ourselves that our thoughts and actions matter. We can also choose to focus on the positive karmic ripples that we are creating in the world.

The law of three is a powerful reminder that our thoughts and actions have consequences on a personal and collective level. When we act with intention and awareness, we can create positive karmic ripples that benefit ourselves and the world around us. I am committed to living my life in accordance with the law of three, and I believe that this will bring me, my home and commmunity peace, strength, and harmony.

~ love, compassion and fellow-kindness ~

Life is too short for arguments and animosity. We have limited time to love and be loved, to build, care, and serve.

Love is the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life. It is the energy that binds us together and gives us a sense of purpose. When we love others, we are opening ourselves up to the possibility of being loved in return. This can be a vulnerable experience, but it is also one of the most rewarding.

I choose with determination today not to defile my life with negative vibes and thoughts projected to me. I hold on to the hope that love is stronger than hate and criticism.

I know from experience that it is difficult not to lash back when someone’s behavior is unfair. It takes courage to act from compassion and to continue to live within a strong flow of fellow kindness.

Compassion is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is a powerful force for good in the world. When we are compassionate, we are able to connect with others on a deep level and offer them support and understanding. This can help to heal old wounds and build bridges between people.

Yes, we need to set boundaries against the misuse and abuse of kindness. But we need not make those boundaries boundaries against the flow of nurturing and understanding. Our hearts can still be open while setting strong barriers to maintain our own integrity and well-being.

The barrier itself is not the challenge. It is the motivation and emotions we put in place to establish the boundary that matters. A boundary that pushes people away like hate and anger is inherently destructive and leads to isolation. A boundary that still allows for the free flow of compassion allows us to remain present for others and to serve and nurture without the need for any return or recognition.

We give freely what is within our power to give. We maintain a harmony and coherence that is free from external influences. Justice requires boundaries, and we uphold those boundaries for optimal social cohesion. Courage and compassion allow us to maintain the presence that facilitates optimal conditions to restore peace and re-establish harmony and balance.

Forgiveness and tolerance are the magical gateways to find peace and create an environment conducive for love and understanding.

Forgiveness is the act of letting go of anger and resentment. It is not always easy to forgive, but it is essential for living a peaceful and joyful life. When we forgive others, we are freeing ourselves from the burden of negative emotions. This can help us to move on and live our lives to the fullest.

I take this day to renew my commitment to inner peace and to the expression of that peace into the world around me. It is not an easy task, but it is one ever worthy of striving to complete with perfection and dedication. I am grateful this morning for the discipline to seek expression for my most noble thoughts through my writing. May the thoughts grow ever stronger and flow more forcefully into actions and behaviour to shape my character.

I believe that love, compassion, and forgiveness are the keys to a happy and fulfilling life. I encourage you to cultivate these qualities in your own life and to share them with others. Together, we can create a world that is more loving, compassionate, and forgiving.

Compassion through unity

I still have to make steady progress on my journey of self-mastery. I allowed myself recently to be upset by a few words of unbiased accusation. I did not react vehemently, but I did lash out with my tongue and, in the process, closed myself off from giving and receiving intimacy. In hindsight and reflection, I realize that I could have handled the situation better. I could have remained open in love, inviting and accepting, even in the face of conflict and hostility.

There is nothing wrong with explaining or setting things right during a disagreement. In fact, it might even be considered a duty to clear things up. But these are mere words, and no reason to close off and protect the sensitive ego. In fact, the ego, established on a firm basis of integrity, balance, and harmony, should stand erect and unmoved under any load.

Reason compels me to continue to remain open in love, inviting and accepting, in spite of conflict and hostility. My soul’s nature, where everything is connected, will always be an expression of divine love. I need to express more of this love through my heart center. The heart is not weak, but it is strong and resilient in its expression of love. I must express that love and acceptance fearlessly. I must express that love with courage and wisdom.

Maybe this is where the rune EH and the rune LAF are to be embraced. The bindrune, EH and LAF, is the expression of compassion through mystic union. I believe that the bindrune EH and LAF can help me on my journey. It is a symbol of the power of love, and it reminds me that I am never alone. When I feel disconnected, I can look to the bindrune for guidance and strength to restore my connection with fellow-kindness.

Compassion and unity are keys to self-mastery. When we are able to open our hearts to others, we are able to see them with clarity and understanding. We are also able to see ourselves more clearly, and to accept ourselves for who we are.

Connected compassion the strength to see the good in others, even when they are perceived difficult. It is the ability to see the good in ourselves, even when we have made mistakes.

I hope that this reflection has given you some food for thought. If you are also on a journey of self-mastery, I encourage you to remember the power of love and compassion. These are the qualities that will help you to express your true authentivity and achieve your highest potential.

The mystics path

The mystic gains knowledge through contemplating the teachings of all humanity across the ages and cross-referencing it with actual experience. Developing a personal philosophy based on the most lofty thinking coherent with the knowledge gained as well as the contemplation on experiences. The mystic endeavours to understand the natural and spiritual laws behind the observed experiences. As the mystic enters within to connect with the Divine, and expands to connect with and serve other people he begins to live in accord with spiritual and natural laws. The mystic becomes attuned to new insights coming through meditation and contemplation of how to refine his perception and live according with higher order laws.
