Sant Kirpal Singh on Meditation: "When traversing into the higher planes, the soul experiences Light and Sound. The first step, of course, is to withdraw from the physical body and be 'born anew' into the Beyond. You will be able to go along the Way inside if you but follow the instructions implicitly which were given to you at the time of Initiation." (Unpublished Letters)

T.S. Eliot: "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality."

Contemplating Eliot, and seeking the music of language in the works of T.S. Eliot, Nan Shepherd and Paul Klee for a new project.

AI talks about NAN and harPoetry

How wonderful is existence, to be one of the many emanations of a world always longing to know itself again whether in the skin of a frog, a rock, a rose, the sky, or me! We give and take and feel and think and breathe in all in our infinite variations and ever-living connectedness. Each of us has never been before and will never be again, and through us the world delights anew.

And what sweet, dark peace when this form, too, crumbles away, like a wave upon the rocks spraying back into the vastness it was always part of. What bone-deep surrender in relaxing back into the Oneness, releasing that lovely fleeting illusion of individuality like a butterfly that you may admire and enjoy, but never clutch in a crushing grip.

Bless the illusion that is life and the dream that is death! What is has always been and always will be. You are One and never alone, vaster than the limitations of your current form could ever dare to understand and you are forever. #TootEssay #Buddhism #Daoism #mysticism

(4/4) I know that I’m parroting platitudes, but we need to think creatively.

In one of her writings, #HannahArendt described #WalterBenjamin as being like a pearl diver, bringing old stones to the surface and seeing them in new light.

Benjamin couched his #Marxism in #mysticism, and was able to see more creatively than others. We need more Walter Benjamins.

At the same time, we need to get over negative critique and begin developing a positive vision. #Solarpunk is only the first step.

Hello mastodon, apparently, a post is called a toot? So let me toot an #introduction for ya.

I’m an #artist with imposter syndrome. I still feel weird calling myself an artist but people have paid to buy my art so I think I qualify, lol.

I’m a lover of #astrology #spirituality #occult #mysticism #philosophy and #psychology and I do tend to inject aspects of these into my art.

I’m running out of characters to use. I hope my first toot smelled fine, lol.

I type “lol” a lot cause I see humour.

How can our art & activities hold space against a tide of ignorance & hate?

I expect we're going to see a lot of persecution, esp of women, of people who reject puritanism & RW christianity. It would not surprise me if men starting accusing other spiritual paths of being "witchcraft."

They intend to force their cult onto everyone, using police state violence.

Our art can speak up.
