The Road to Awe

Day of 1 Yellow Magnetic Seed
Tone 1 (Magnetic): creative power to Unify Purpose, action of Attraction
Yellow Seed (KAN): Targets and emphasizes Flowering (Ideas)


There are many types of love and many points along the spectrum of love. Yet, in our modern societies, we tend to fixate on only a few expressions of what love is; those being national, parental, familial, communal, friendly, romantic and personal love/loving. 

But what do we know about love itself? Not simply through experience or conversation, but of its origin; as a concept, as a word, as a thing. 

The concept popularly known as Love is attached to the word. The primary definition of the word love begins, "an intense feeling of deep affection," then goes on to, "a person or thing that one loves," before finishing off at, "feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone)." 

The sense of this word finds its origins in this way: 

From Old English lufu, of Germanic origin; from an Indo-European root shared by Sanskrit lubhyati 'desires,' Latin libet 'it is pleasing,' libido 'desire.'

So from knowing this, we understand that the most popular love - romantic love - is derived from a sense of desire, being pleased and feeling something. It begins as a noun, something more personal, but can also find expression as a verb. In regards to someone or something, desiring them/it, pleasing them/it - these are acts of loving. Specifically, of loving yourself and - when consensual - loving others. 

From here on out, we will call this aforementioned type of loving "High Love." As in higher along the spectrum of love, as in more difficult to achieve and maintain, as in it can make you feel high, as in a more personal love and as in romantic love. 

High Love is not the love of parents-to-children, or children-to-parents (ideally); nor is it the love of family members (though it co-creates parents, families and children). That being said, High Love does feature prominently in communal, friendly and nationalistic love. 

Community, friends and nations are clusters of concepts that overlay to assist an individual in feeling like, or knowing that, they belong or do not belong. Such groups shape early desires and early concepts of what is pleasing.

In a Purposeful Omniverse

Day of 4 Red Self-Existing Skywalker
Tone 4 (Self-Existing): Creative power to Define Form, action of Measuring
Red Skywalker Seal (BEN): Explores and emphasizes Space

There are many theories on this planet as to how the Earth and the Omniverse came about. Naturally, there are also theories about why this all came about. I'm not here to converse about which of the infinite theories is "right;" I am here to make an observation of how one theory is impossible.

It is not conceivable, by any standard of genuine observation, that an Omniverse like the one we are in came from "nothing" or means "nothing." It is a conclusion formed from very little observation or from very little opportunity (and opportunity is relative). Whether Existence itself is a tangible creation and a conscious one, or just a conscious one - it is still meaningful. Existence is meaning full. Full of meaning. Meaning as a synonym for purpose. The very fact that we, as sentient beings, consider ourselves CONSCIOUS speaks to the necessity of a Conscious Creator. A Creator greater than any species we know or any living thing, because it has essentially led to the creation of ALL LIVING THINGS (this requires a root understanding)!

Even if all of Existence was "an accident," it was caused by a pretty fucking INCREDIBLE accident maker. An INCREDIBLY BIG accident maker.

This planet is AMAZING! I mean, really and truly if you just take a moment to look at it as a whole, as EVERYTHING on it and OF it. How can you deny that Planet Earth is SUPERB? There is not one thing our species makes use of on this Earth (aside from consciousness itself, which always has first dibs) that did not come from this Earth or adapt to this Earth. 

That pretty much makes Earth the
oldest authority we have on most things "us."

An Elder, in my knowing, is an older being with wisdom that you both respect and may seek out for understanding (and who learns to impart wisdom by the actions of their very existence). Planet Earth is our Elder. The Sun and several of the other planets are Earth's Elders. The Galaxy is our Solar System's Elder. And the Infinite Omniverse is EVERYTHING's Elder.

Collectively the Infinite Omniverse makes up Existence. Existence is to be respected and sought out for understanding. 

What I understand from observing this Infinite Omniverse is that everything has its place and its purpose. It doesn't matter how small it is (atoms, love) or how different it is or how you perceive it. It's doing something here and it's here to do something. Nothing can go to waste in an Infinite Existence because everything is needed within Infinity. Infinity negates nothing. It even includes 0. Infinity is "IT," it is the IT factor and IT is 

ALL 

THAT

IS

Don't Panic, Death is Organic

Day of 11 White Spectral Mirror
Tone 11 (Spectral): Creative power to Dissolve Liberation, action of Release
White Mirror (ETZNAB): Reflects and emphasizes Endlessness

Sometimes I sit around and think of what I might be doing, for my happiness and for the world, in the next 10 years. I consider making a 5-year-plan or a 10-year-plan. Then I turn on the News (from any area of the world) and I think to myself, "10 more decent years and I'll call us all lucky."

But seriously though, the Earth is not looking good right now. And I'll start this open thought process by clarifying that of course there are plenty of good things going on in both hemispheres; that being acknowledged, the majority of the things that are going on that are "powerful" enough to have immediate effects on the majority of peoples are not in that category.

It's making more sense to me now too, the reason that craziness takes hold of individuals so strongly and then spreads like wildfire among those not strong enough in their own knowing to resist the tide. And I'm realizing a lot of this bullshit going on around and on this planet has to do with PEOPLES OBSESSION/FEAR WITH DEATH!

I'm here to tell you with all the assurance that I have in me (which is quite a bit really):

DON'T PANIC! DEATH IS ORGANIC :o)

A wise author once wrote that putting the words "Don't Panic" next to or onto anything that is ultimately infinite and complicated helps to alleviate the worst of the initial reactions of basic instinct. You know, "Run!" "Kill!" "Hide!" "Die!" and so on and so forth. So I'm going with that policy.

I won't beat around the bush here. I'm going to lay out for you, bluntly, exactly why you needn't fear death in ANY capacity (though you should fear killing, it's icky and unnecessary and really who wants the extra karma that comes along with it?).

Do Not Fear Death Rationale:
