Balance is not just about equilibrium; it's about harmony. It's about integrating different aspects of our lives - technology, nature, work, leisure, mind, and body - into a unified whole. It's about acknowledging the pace of progress while also appreciating the timeless beauty of the natural world.
everyone will always be haunted by what they are and i believe it is far more beneficial to embrace the haunting (as long as it isn't derailing your life or others') than to strive to be a truly "balanced" person. the idea of someone who is truly equalised to the point of utter harmony is an essentially unachievable thing imo
🎧 Фоновой музыкой является кантонская песня [диалект провинции Гуандун, Китай], а посуда в видео называется курильница для благовоний, которая широко использовалась в древнем Китае в богатых домах или храмах, таких как королевские семьи и богатые купцы, а сейчас китайцы обычно покупают ее для успокоения ума
*The background music is a Cantonese song [a dialect of Guangdong, China], and the utensil in the video is called incense burner, which was widely used in ancient China in wealthy homes or temples, such as royalty and wealthy merchants, and now Chinese generally bought to calm the mind
🏵 "Цветок распускается и не надо никакой рекламной кампании. Пчелы прилетают, потому что он распустился, достиг определенного качества и пошел аромат. В определенной стадии цветок источает аромат, и не надо ничего делать. Так и вы, когда открываются измерения определенного качества, начинаете источать аромат, который узнается Вселенной. Вселенная откликается, потому что она живая. Это не остается незамеченным, не может остаться незамеченным. Все настоящее имеет свой отклик. И это естественный процесс. И это есть медитация." Свами Дхарма Сумиран
*"The flower is blooming and no advertising campaign is needed. Bees arrive because it has blossomed, reached a certain quality and the fragrance has gone. At a certain stage, the flower exudes fragrance, and nothing needs to be done. So, when dimensions of a certain quality are opened, you begin to exude a fragrance that is recognized by the Universe. The universe responds because it is alive. It doesn't go unnoticed, it can't go unnoticed. Everything present has its own response. And this is a natural process. And this is meditation." Swami Dharma Sumiran
I have come to understand my own personal mantra after a profound brush with a fellow shaman for whom I consulted regarding shadow work.
- "Om": Often considered the primordial sound of creation, "Om" represents the divine energy that pervades the universe and connects all living beings.
- "Shanti": This Sanskrit word translates to "peace" and signifies a state of tranquility, harmony, and balance.
- "Ramaha": Derived from the Sanskrit word "Rama," which is an epithet of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism, "Ramaha" symbolizes divinity, goodness, and spiritual enlightenment.
- "Mu": "Mu" represents the idea of emptiness, unity, and interconnectedness, transcending the boundaries of individual selves and pointing to the universal nature of existence.
Together, these syllables create a powerful invocation for peace, spiritual awakening, and unity within ourselves, the world, and the universe as a whole.
- "Mundi" shares a similar meaning with "Mu" in the sense that both words represent the concept of unity and interconnectedness. By incorporating "Mundi" into the mantra, we further emphasize the universal nature of this invocation for peace and spiritual awakening.
In this context, "Mundi" serves as a bridge between the Sanskrit and Latin traditions, connecting the spiritual wisdom of ancient India with the philosophical insights of the Western world. By including "Mundi," we broaden the scope of our intention to encompass not just our individual selves, but the entire universe, recognizing the inherent interconnectedness of all things and the potential for peace and enlightenment to radiate throughout.
detail of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, circa 1490-1510
Running with him into that part of the garden which I have already described, they saw a score of creatures, to not one of which they could give a name, and not one of which was like another, hideous and ludicrous at once, gambolling on the lawn in the moonlight. The supernatural or rather subnatural ugliness of their faces, the length of legs and necks in some, the apparent absence of both or either in others, made the spectators, although in one consent as to what they saw, yet doubtful, as I have said, of the evidence of their own eyes — and ears as well; for the noises they made, although not loud, were as uncouth and varied as their forms, and could be described neither as grunts nor squeaks nor roars nor howls nor barks nor yells nor screams nor croaks nor hisses nor mews nor shrieks, but only as something like all of them mingled in one horrible dissonance.
- George MacDonald (The Princess and the Goblin, Chapter XIII)
You will certainly find amongst sorcerers' grimoires and in the practical Cabbala (by Abramelin the Mage, for example) a host of names of particular beings belonging to the hierarchies of evil, but you will not find a description of their general classification in the manner of that by St. Dionysius the Areopagite of the celestial hierarchies. The world of the hierarchies of evil appears like a luxuriant jungle, where you can certainly, if necessary, distinguish hundreds and thousands of particular plants, but where you can never attain to a clear view of the totality. The world of evil is a chaotic world — at least, such as it presents itself to the observer.
- Anonymous (Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey Into Christian Hermeticism, page 403)
(One of the things that have really stayed with me from the source of the second quote is the idea that one of the major differences between goodness and evil is that although evil may look more diverse, it only seems so because goodness is simultaneously unique but harmonious in a way that evil cannot be; if evil seems more individual, it is only because it is composed of a discordant mess that cannot create or fit into beauty larger than themselves)
Think For Yourself...Self Realization...Unity...Oneness...
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things… ~ Dogen Zenji (26 Jan 1200 – 22 Sept 1253…Japanese Buddhist, founder of the Soto school of Zen)

I love calm people. The ones choosing their words wisely, never raising their voice.
Not living to show off, but to exist in a quiet and harmonic way, trying to at least not harm anyone.
I find those people inspiring.

Look for satisfaction. Meditated state for 20 minutes a day. That’s not that long 🫰 look for satisfaction in ever day. Well-being is dominant. Isolate thought. Let go of relief. There’s so much leverage in alignment.
