Idha socati pecca socati;
pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.
So socati so vihaññati,
disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.
The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;
one grieves in both the worlds.
One laments and is afflicted,
recollecting one’s own impure deeds.

At this pivotal time in history, may we accelerate our evolutionary progress by aligning with Divinity in a more deliberate and inspired way. As the world ebbs and flows, may we see it as a chance to anchor the vibration of peace, expanding access points into higher timelines and realities for all sentient beings.
May our hearts become portals of prayerful response. May our words be expressed as the power of intention continually set into motion.
May our choices be offered as demonstrations of the change we wish to see—regardless of how the collapsing of collective ego structures continues to play out. May we remember the malleable nature of the fabric of time that can be accelerated into new chapters of grace and resolve as we dare to live in greater alignment with heart-centered consciousness.

One who is a master of knowledge,
Who has lived the holy life,
Is called one gone to the world’s end,
One who has reached the further shore.
Itivuttaka 4.109

Thoroughly understanding the Dhamma
and freed from longing through insight,
the wise one rid of all desire
is calm as a pool unstirred by wind.

Mullein (Verbascum ) is a common weed used for centuries in herbal medicine. Herbalists often use mullein flowers and leaves to treat respiratory problems, digestive issues, and skin conditions, among other health concerns.1
Mullein contains numerous active ingredients, including flavonoids and saponins with proven anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antihypertensive properties, among others. But, there is very little evidence in support of using mullein to treat any medical condition.1
This article explains the traditional uses of mullein in herbal medicine, how it is commonly administered, and what you need to know about side effects, precautions, and interactions when taking it. […]

Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve

Better it is to live one day
seeing the rise and fall of things
than to live a hundred years
without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
Dhammapada 8.113
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
I live inside your heart because I love to be close to you, my dear child. I speak to you every day from that hallowed place. Perhaps you are aware of my presence. I am the inner voice assuring you that everything is fine. I am the sensation in your heart that lets you know it’s okay to trust, regardless of how things look.
I am the assurance in your heart that every prayer you say is heard and immediately answered by me. I am your heart’s delight and comfort when you realise your granted prayers are already blossoming in heavenly beauty. I bring you great peace, my beloved one.
I am always with you whispering my guidance into your heart. I see your life as it is and will be. With me by your side, you can move mountains. You can create new worlds. You can be truly happy without having to worry about how other people see you.
You will soon have a decision to make which will cause you to need to take some time out for yourself to think. Have faith that our hearts are intertwined. Therefore, there is a great sense of peace after the storm that is coming your way. Enjoy this period because it will be good for you.
This card also predicts that you will receive a crucial communication either right now or very soon. This message will either be a response to a prayer you’ve previously spoken or a solution to a concern you didn’t even realise you had! To help this all along, the following prayer may help:
“My environment is shifting. Even if some grief is an essential rite of passage in my blossoming contentment, I have all the guiding light I need for this transformation to be a healthy one. I have trust in Mother Mary as I beg her to always stay with me, leading me via her heart. I ask her to speak to me in a way that allows my heart to be filled with truth.
Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve
dussīlo asamāhito
ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo
sīlavantassa jhāyino.
Better it is to live
one day virtuous and meditative
than to live a hundred years
immoral and uncontrolled.

Geometric Art has fascinated me for a long time in many ways and in this video I wanted to demonstrate how geometric form connects the different layers of our realities and I wanted to inspire you to reflect upon the connections that are demonstrated in this video. It has been a long journey leading up to this video. This introduction video summarizes my understanding of Geometric Design & Art. Something that I wanted to do for a long time but was not yet capable of because of the vast amount of information related to this knowledge. I have finally finished a part of the challenge. Yet it essentially is nothing more than a short introduction of this subject. And this video is also in many ways an introduction to the course that I have been working on called “Journal Series’. If you are interested in signing up for the course then you can sign up for the course on the website below the video.
Sukho viveko tuṭṭhassa,
sutadhammassa passato.
Abyāpajjaṃ sukhaṃ loke —
pāṇabhūtesu saṃyamo.
Solitude is happiness for one who is content,
who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees.
Non-affliction is happiness in the world —
harmlessness towards all living beings.
Udāna 2.11

Sabbadā sīlasampanno,

Mind precedes all things;
mind is their chief, mind is their maker.
If one speaks or does a deed
with a mind that is pure within,
happiness then follows along
like a never departing shadow.

Kāmaṃ kāmayamānassa,
tassa ce taṃ samijjhati, addhā pītimano hoti.
Laddhā macco yadicchati.
Tassa ce — kāmayānassa, chandajātassa — jantuno

If one, longing for sensual pleasure,
achieves it, yes, one’s enraptured at heart.
The mortal gets what one wants.
But if for that person — longing, desiring —
the pleasures diminish,
one’s shattered, as if shot with an arrow.
Sutta Nipāta 4.772, 4.773
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Atītaṃ nānvāgameyya,
