i do not have a brain. instead, i have a jolly little medieval monk in my head who guffaws at jokes, imparts wisdom, and partakes in a bit too much of the monastery’s mead

Simple Teachings on Higher Truths by Ajahn Anan

Simple Teachings on Higher Truths by Ajahn Anan Simple Teachings on Higher Truths by Ajahn Anan, the current abbot at the Wat Marp Jan monastary in Thailand . From the intro: "The mind has been spinning all morning, trying to work everything out. We would like to get on with our meditation, but need to resolve this first. It’s about the practice. Meditating seems harder these days: less remarkable, less relaxing. Lately there’s been a lot of uninvited thinking going on. Something has been drudging up worries, possibilities, old memories, song lyrics.... Hadn’t we gone beyond all this? Nevermind, though. We probably just need a change of scene."

. Finding a way to tell a unique story in a location that is very popular can be a bit challenging but quite rewarding if you push yourself to try. “Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other's experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination.” — A. R.

Call me a hopeless goth, but I kind of like the Ninth House's funerary practices and I wish we knew more about them. At least, I like what they could be: what I imagine they once were, before their culture was shattered.

The Ninth as we see it is a civilization in its death throes. It's a utilitarian horror show, hollowed out by tragedy and stripped of all dignity and sentiment, but we have good reason to think it wasn't always like that. They have a history of fine textile production and poetry, and occassionally forming hero cults to celebrate cultural icons. There used to be families who raised their children communally. Before the sea of tiny coffins, the Ninth may have known how to live, and even how to mourn.

There are glimmers of what their death culture might have been like in Harrow's prayer beads: made from the bones of her ancestors, a tangible link to her history and community. And in Gideon searching for her mother in the leek fields, imagining that a woman she never met is still present in her life.

In a living culture with a functioning community, the use of human bone as a crafting material could make mundane objects into momentos, ways to keep loved ones close after their passing. The skeleton servitors could be seen as a way individuals continued to care and provide for the community, even after death.

If their dead are routinely exhumed to be added to the chore rota, it would make sense for the exhumation, cleaning, and raising of those bones to traditionally be a cultural ritual like a graduation or funeral. Most of those skeletons would have had living friends and family working alongside them, when the Ninth still had generations. The skeleton sweeping the chapel used to be someone's uncle. People in these cultures do mourn death. We've seen them with the corpses of people they knew, and they're not completely desensitized; just very weird. There's a throw-away line once about Harrow having a pet peeve about personalising the skeletons, which means it must be fairly common to do that. What was to stop previous generations of the Ninth from getting scolded for putting funny hats on Cousin Balbus's bones? Nothing, that's what. Balbus liked hats, anyway, so I don't see how it was disrespectful.

I'm sure Wake didn't get a ceremony when she was raised as a servitor; the main beneficiary would have been Gideon, and god fucking knows no one ever went out of their way to make her feel like part of the community. I'm betting no one does raising ceremonies for anyone, anymore. The Ninth is as good as dead, and no one ever taught the youngest generation how to mourn. But for ten thousand years, the Ninth successfully lived in very close proximity to mundane natural death. It's fun to imagine what that looked like.

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #tlt worldbuilding #like.... the Ninth is based sort of on a medieval Christian monastary #in the small personal living quarters heavy emphasis on religion and communal living spaces #medieval monastaries were full of culture and gossip and functioned as a fairly close community #and when you factor in that the Ninth was hereditary and one of the commmunal duties was childrearing.... #you get something much closer to a smallish tribe or clan #the prayer of the Locked Tomb has been passed down unchanged for almost ten thousand years #that takes INTENSE social cohesion and a strong commitment to cultural ritual #the amount of Ninth culture we will never know because we came in after their extinction event.... man....

Willowpelt sounds SO autistic, it not being funny wraps around into being funny again.

My secret is being so autistic and so surrounded by so many other autistic people that I forget what tismless people even do. Everyone in BB ends up getting a touch of ADHDautism. As a treat.

But yeah when I was jotting it down I realized it too. Like wow, I really hit this one with the autism beam. Me and you, Willy, we will both have adamantine opinions. I cannot condone your hatred of apples but you do have a good point about oak trees.

#Me and Willow are going to have the funniest relationship about those apples #Like wtf girl you haven't had good apples. No i wont force them on you but you're so wrong #It cant even be a texture thing if youre NOT weird about pears #What the hell kind of apples are you eating that are always a little bitter #Fennelposting #My partner has an inverse autism to mine #Which at one point we called dog and cat autism #Because im mr THEY ASKED FOR NO PICKLES #PREPARE FOR 30 MINUTES OF PICKLE RELATED INFODUMPING IN PENANCE #And theyre like If i accidentally make eye contact with a single person in the room i will run away to a monastary and breed pea plants #Which ngl i think would be the funniest way to write Whitewillow #Fire: white is the best choice for deputy! He's so wise and organized and knows exactly how to talk to people #White looks up from his detailed gamefaq guide on How To Win At Talking To Real People which he wrote himself #'I Would Be Honored Thank You.' #Hes organized because if anything is even slightly different he hears The Sirens go off in his brain lmao #Small says 'firestar is still cursed bc he was appointed after moonhigh. I dont respect his deputy either.' #Willow: 'you will join starclan in 7 days but ill make sure ur not late'

oh someone's finally talking about this place. it's like 2 hours drive from where i live. beautiful place and really sweet people. they have their own clinics that follow tibetan medicine and their own tibetan style school. and they have some really amazing restaurants. even the smallest restaurants serve really good food. really love this sweet little town

and I just love that the Karnataka government gave them land that resembles closest to tibet so they'll feel at home here

Have you ever heard of the Vlacherna Monastery on the Greek island of Corfu?

It is located on its own island off the coast of Kanoni, just a few kilometres south of Corfu Town.

It was built during the 17th century and is one of the most iconic landmarks of Corfu. The Monastery is actually a small church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, connected to the mainland by a small bridge, and surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Now, let me share three interesting facts about the Vlacherna Monastery that you might not know:

1. The Monastery is not only a religious site but also a cultural one. It has been featured in many movies, TV shows, and documentaries, including the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only".

2. The small island where the Monastery is located was once a popular spot for fishermen to sell their catch of the day. Today, you can still see some fishermen selling their fresh catch from the small pier near the Monastery.

3. The Monastery is also home to a small museum, where you can learn more about the history of the Monastery and the island.

If you're planning a trip to Corfu, I highly recommend visiting the Vlacherna Monastery. It's a peaceful and serene place with breathtaking views of the sea.

Don't forget to take a stroll around the Monastery and enjoy the beauty of the gardens. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a boat tour around the nearby Mouse Island, another beautiful landmark of Corfu.
