Sace bhāyatha dukkhassa, sace vo dukkhamappiyaṃ,
mākattha pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, āvi vā yadi vā raho.
Sace ca pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, karissatha karotha vā,
Na vo dukkhā pamutyatthi:
upeccapi palāyataṃ.
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain,
don’t do an evil deed in open or secret.
If you’re doing or will do an evil deed,
you won’t escape pain:
it will catch you even as you run away.
Udāna 5.44
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Gahakāraka, diṭṭhosi!
Puna gehaṃ na kāhasi.
Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ.
Visaṅkhāragataṃ cittaṃ;
taṇhānaṃ khayamajjhagā.
O house-builder, you are seen!
You will not build this house again.
For your rafters are broken and your ridgepole shattered.
My mind has reached the Unconditioned;
I have attained the destruction of craving.

If nobody ever told you this, I am telling you, you mean more to people than you can imagine.
Māvoca pharusaṃ kañci,
vuttā paṭivadeyyu taṃ.
Dukkhā hi sārambhakathā,
paṭidaṇḍā phuseyyu taṃ.
Speak not harshly to anyone,
for those thus spoken to might retort.
Indeed, angry speech hurts,
and retaliation may overtake you.

Aluna means “conscience “. Enter the last theocratic chiefdom in America, hidden for centuries on a mountain in Colombia. The Kogi have made this amazing documentary to help us understand how to avoid the destruction of the world that they are trying to protect, and of ourselves.
Mātā yathā niyaṃ
puttamāyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe,
evampi sabbabhūtesu
mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ.
As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings.

Mars and Saturn Retrograde are squaring off August 24 ay 26+ degrees
UNDER A SCORPIO MOON no less
these two malefics would make a great violent film pitch for a film based on astrology.
This is very hard energy from the 2 difficult planets in their own home signs where they are strongest.
Mars is energy action ignition ANGER and SATURN is hard restrictions limitations.

August 23, Sunday Bloody Sunday?
Only a Scorpio Moon, I was just listening to that old U2 song and of course Scorpio is about DESIRE and lol this can be a range of U2 songs but I know that Bono is a Taurus. BONO has a Neptune Moon conjunction in Scorpio and a 29th degree Scorpio MC. Venus Mercury conjunction in Taurus opposes the Moon and Neptune.

The young or small physical mind/body/spirit complex has the seven energy centers potentiated before the birthing process. There are also analogs in time/space of these energy centers corresponding to the seven energy centers in each of the seven true-color densities. Thus in the microcosm exists all the experience that is prepared. It is as though the infant contains the universe.
– Ra, The Law Of One
Abhittharetha kalyāṇe;
pāpā cittaṃ nivāraye.
Dandhañhi karoto puññaṃ,
pāpasmiṃ ramatī mano.
Hasten to do good;
restrain your mind from evil.
One who is slow in doing good,
that one’s mind delights in evil.
Dhammapada 9.116
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Pathavisamo no virujjhati,
indakhilupamo tādi subbato,
rahadova apetakaddamo
saṃsārā na bhavanti tādino.
There is no more worldly existence for the wise one who,
like the earth, resents nothing,
who is firm as a high pillar
and as pure as a deep pool free from mud.
Dhammapada 7.95
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Time to go earthy again! I’m happy to move into Virgo season because it is all about nourishment and making everyday special. Virgo holds the wisdom and has Priestess and healer energy. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, but while Gemini is all about communication and sociability, Virgo is about the internal processes and the mind.
Virgo is also our health, so if we have neglected it and created unhealthy routines, now it is the time to get back on track again. We have to be mindful of being critical of ourselves and others and to not judge. Virgo’s eye for detail can be perfect to have in some cases, but not when it comes to nitpicking oneself and others.
Embrace the earth energy now, especially as we are changing seasons. Get out in nature and connect with Mother Earth.
How many Virgos do we have here?
Gataddhino visokassa
vippamuttassa sabbadhi,
sabbaganthappahīnassa,
pariḷāho na vijjati.
The fever of passion exists not for one
who has completed the journey,
who is sorrowless and wholly set free,
and has broken all ties.
Dhammapada 7.90
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
Yathā naro āpagamotaritvā,
mahodakaṃ salilaṃ sīghasotaṃ,
so vuyhamāno anusotagāmī —
kiṃ so pare sakkhati tārayetuṃ?
If one going down into a river,
swollen and swiftly flowing,
is carried away by the current —
how can one help others across?
Sutta Nipāta 2.321
The Discourse Collection: Selected Texts from the Sutta Nipāta, translated by John D. Ireland
Udakañhi nayanti nettikā;
usukārā namayanti tejanaṃ;
dāruṃ namayanti tacchakā;
attānaṃ damayanti paṇḍitā.
Irrigators regulate the rivers;
fletchers straighten the arrow shaft;
carpenters shape the wood;
the wise control themselves.

I’ve long been amazed by the generous bounty offered to us by Mother Nature. Even as a young boy picking wintergreen berries in the woods, I just couldn’t believe that these tasty treats were available for me to enjoy, in quantities greater than I could ever consume, and the only cost was an afternoon in the shady forest, harvesting the luscious fruits as I listened to the melodious whistling of the birds and the occasional scurried sounds of a startled chipmunk or squirrel.
As an adult, my appreciation for Nature’s endless gifts has only deepened, and I find 
myself preaching her message of abundance to anyone willing to listen. Through my work as an author, herbalist, and educator, I’ve been placed in a unique position to share my knowledge, experiences, and passion with audiences the world over, and the core of my message has always remained the…

Although statistics show that people over the age of 65 have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 and dying from complications due to underlying conditions, it appears that it has more to do with nutritional status than age alone. It’s true that the older we get, the more nutritional deficiencies we may have, primarily because of poor dietary choices throughout life.
Unfortunately, nutrition is often overlooked in favor of pharmaceuticals and other medical interventions. But diet plays a critical role in fortifying the immune system and in helping the body fight off and overcome infections such as COVID-19.
The Foundation of a Healthy Immune System
Often missing in public health discussions around immunity and infection are nutritional strategies to encourage the optimal function of the immune system. In spite of the long history and tradition of botanical medicine—supported by a large body of scientific data—herbs are rarely mentioned as useful…
