 The idea of "kintsukuroi" has definitely made the enlightened society social media rounds. It isn't anything new and isn't anything I've particularly been focused on of late, nor has it even crossed my laptop in a while. (If you have not heard of this, it is a Japanese term meaning "to repair with gold", and is the practice of repairing broken pieces of pottery with gold highlighting the idea that the cracks do not take away from the beauty of the object, but rather they actually enhance its beauty and value.)
Obviously this applies as an apt analogy to the human spirit, and I indeed believe that we are more beautiful for the wear and tear of this life. Along these same lines, I have a white lotus flower tattooed on my back. .................................................................................................................................................................................................  What are the foundations, the spoken or unspoken agreements, your relationships are based on? Can you identify them? Do you know?
Can you take stock over your life, or the past few years and see any patterns around your relationships? (This could be significant other or work or really any repetitive way you find yourself interacting with others, or any recurring them around the people/situations in your life.) The past few years have been challenging for many, if not completely disastrous, and at the very least probably eye-opening. Basically anything that was based on looking outside of oneself for safety, security, rescue, or validation would have been challenged between 2012 and now. With the Titanic on its way down, and everyone on their way into the water, it would have then become painfully apparent that no one would be "rescued". With everything that once seemed safe and solid sinking out of sight right before our eyes, there was no choice but surrender, and for each person to find his or her own truth and own inner stability. Grasping desperately for any illusion of security outside of ourselves in this rapidly shifting reality would prove futile. ...................................................................................................................................................................................  Lately I have been acutely aware of judgment, and the specific heavy oppressive feeling that it generates in my body. I don't mean I just notice other people's judgmental attitudes - I feel those, but I feel the same feeling when I am the one being judgmental. And recently, I have been exquisitely tuned in to that vibration, so that every time I encounter it, whether it is generated from myself or another, my body reacts with a giant "NO" and expresses it by having me experience the discomfort of this heavy feeling that accompanies it. The best way I have been able to sum up the message I am receiving here is this: standing back and making critical judgments/decisions/assumptions about "other", whatever that is, is no longer going to keep us safe (if it ever really did). This is just no longer an option. Every time we do that there will be a push back. And the push backs are going to get bigger and bigger until we get the point.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................  There is a beautiful, gleaming temple, sitting deep in a thick, dense, wild jungle. That temple has a will to be there, a reason to be, with its presence so starkly contrasting the forces of nature surrounding it . Although the jungle that the temple exists in is different from the temple, it is neither positive nor negative. This jungle is neither FOR nor AGAINST the temple. The jungle has its own will and its own ways, and it grows and moves the way it does in its own time and for its own reasons.
