Description

(91) Our Question: What's a time when my mind was blown? When a new paradigm, a new world emerged in me.   Archetype of the Apocalypse Book by Edward F. Edinger "This is a profound coincidentia oppositorum—a union of opposites. To wash a garment in blood and have it come out white is a physical impossibility, but a psychological reality. Blood represents passion, the living libido, and the raw matter of suffering. By being completely immersed in the 'red' of the emotional ordeal, the unresisting ego achieves the 'white'—the albedo—which is the state of purified, objective consciousness." The Greek word for 'purifies'(hagnizei) implies a continuous action.   Between me and God there is no between. This is a saying accredited to both Julian of Norwich and Meister Eckhart. "The poor in spirit: The thesis statement for the whole Beatitudes and entire Sermon, really, this recognizes that those who are aware of their spiritual poverty, their limitations, and dependence on others (and especially God!) are the fortunate ones, for this sensibility opens them up to the possibility of achieving spiritual wealth or wholeness." Matthew Root -- talking about Edward Edinger's look at the Beatitudes.   Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe /Potawatomi) a word that describes a deeply interconnected relationship across time rather than a strict linear timeline. [1],aanikoobijigan translates simultaneously to "great-grandparent" (ancestor) and "great-grandchild"(future child/generation).   Coming soon, Season 3 – The spiritual dimension of fairy tales and their usefulness for inner work.
