संसारात राहूनही मनोभावे कर्म करणे अन् त्याग वृत्ती ठेवणे, हे खरे अध्यात्म

तो म्हणे गा कुंतीसुता । हे संन्यासयोग विचारितां ।मोक्षकर तत्त्वता । दोनीहि होती ।। १५ ।। ज्ञानेश्वरी अध्याय पांचवा ओवीचा अर्थ – श्रीकृष्ण म्हणाले, अर्जुना हे संन्यास व कर्मयोग विचार करून पाहिलें तर, तात्त्विकदृष्ट्या, दोन्ही मोक्ष प्राप्त करून देणारे आहेत. ही ओवी संत ज्ञानेश्वरांनी भगवद्गीतेच्या पाचव्या अध्यायाच्या संदर्भात लिहिली आहे. या अध्यायात भगवान श्रीकृष्ण अर्जुनाला संन्यास आणि कर्मयोग…

I feel like if Chujin was still alive during the events of Undertale Yellow, his and Clover's relationship would be incredibly rocky. Pacifist!Clover could bring him around to tolerating them (after all, they have that sort of effect on everyone), but it would be more in a "this human is the only 'good' human" manner than a "maybe I should reevaluate my opinions on humans overall because you can't judge an entire group based off (very biased) stories and one bad experience." Even then, that opinion would be subject to change should Clover ever get frustrated or behave "too aggressively" or act in any manner that isn't perfectly docile. If Clover ends up attacking a monster then it's "humans are just as horrible as they were in the war stories, I should've known better" regardless of the circumstances that could've pushed Clover to fight. Suffocating expectations and endless demands for patience when he wouldn't ask the same of a fellow monster.

And heaven forbid he ever meet Clover on a No Mercy Run...

like my life is going a-okay (not really) and yet i am experiencing the fantasy high junior year kristen applebees crashout. being chaotic is not cute anymore sweetheart, you need to lock in, you're literally going to be done with college in 9 months you cannot afford to fuck around and be like... oh...there's too much going on and i can't even start on things so i'm just gonna do a bunch of other things that give me a little kick of dopamine for now and put off the laborious stuff for later because i perceive it as hard and maybe a bit of an annoyance.

[uncanny-tranny]

Realizing you can never please anybody can be a devastating loss... until you internalize exactly what that means.

When you sacrifice so much of yourself for others, you forget that you leave yourself behind. Not being able to please everybody means you can start learning how to fully embody who you are instead of juggling everybody else's baggage, trying to make something work out.

You might feel devastated about this, thinking you're terrible for not pleasing everybody. The truth is, it was impossible from the start, and learning who you are is infinitely rewarding

Solstice Goddess Mysteries

The days we enter at this time of year in one way is all about our death/rebirth & crossing over between the upper- & underworlds— in our timeless moments in the underworld we meet & commune with the primordial Goddess.

In another way this is the time of the year that reminds us of our true reality & task of Self-realisation in the light of the Supernal Sun / star -

It is the Star that leads the Magi to the birth of the holy son- the descent or incarnation of the light into the form of man.

The descent of grace, is for the redemption & redeeming of man's Consciousness, that the divine light descends into a human form— awake to itself- therefore awakening others. Walking in the forest of darkness (human unconsciousness with the light of knowledge & love turned on- all manner of creatures, like butterflies I (the age-old symbol for psyche & soul) - are attracted to the light, & follow it, leading the way to Consciousness/ realisation.

In man's forgetfulness- the omnidirectional, transparent to itself, self-luminous, non-dimensional light- reflects itself

- (the descent of the light) - symbolised by the moon-however, the light, in whatever state of itself, remains the same divine, intelligible light.

The Supernal, the reflected/descended, & the human birth- is the completion of light in itself— the realised or divine human.

Although we think of the Supernal light as the divine Father or Absolute- it is also The Virgin Mother or Dark Goddess- this empty & full, dark but luminous or intelligible space is bother Father-Mother & also neither.

There are periods of history, we worship the divine as Father/Son/God & other periods as Mother/daughter/ goddess or both or neither.

Sometimes the star is the Sun, other times Venus.

Looking at the symbols, we don't look only with the eyes of analysis— symbols speak in Consciousness in ways that are layered & self-revealing in stages, like keys that onlock levels of understanding.

Wrapped up in the Virgin symbol with the Sun/Star behind the head a crescent moon under the teet is an immensity of knowledge that cannot be fully circumscribed by words.

This time of year is as much about the Virgin as about the birth of her Son.

“The Sun” (1911) by Edvard Munch

“As you develop more understanding of your Self, you will discover that its positive qualities are bound to conquer all that is negative. There is a boundless ocean of peace and harmony within you. There is boundless light within you, and when you open the window of your soul to that light, the darkness will automatically vanish. This window has become a little rusty, so it will take some time to open. But no matter how long it takes, you must have patience. No matter how many times your mind may falter in this project, you must keep ignoring the negative. Negativity is just a ghost; it is only an illusion. The reality is the supremely positive presence of God within you.” (p. 21-22)

Ride 745: At the window seat

Pag 1

1: The last

2 / 3: 200m!!

Pag 2

1: 150m!!

2: Sugimoto is still ahead!! Danchiku is behind!!

6: There are

Pag 3

1: 100m left!!

Pag 4

1: Issa.... are you watching, Issa

2: I've always been timid

3: I always pushed your back with all my strength

4: And then watched you being all frolic

5: I was satisfied

Hahaha!

Piece of cake!

Pag 5

1: When I was little, during school trips, on the bus

2: I won the window sit

I got it!!

3: I enjoyed looking at how the scenery changed outside the window

Oh, there are cows!!

4: The window seat is super nice!

But I was pushed by my friend

Neh, Danchiku, let's swap seats! Come on, Danchiku

6: Okay

Thanks!!

I gave up my seat

7: In the end

Amazing! What's that tower?

8: our seats stayed like the whole time

9: People also often cut the line in front of me

Sorry, Danchiku!

No, but the line....

Ah, you're so nice, Danchiku, so nice!!

Pag 6

1: After that, the girls scolded me, too

You're too nice, Danchiku!

Yes, yes

Well....

At times like that, you need to flat-out reject them!

Yeah, you're a guy after all

Yeah... you're right... indeed....

2: It bothers us, you know

Is it... my fault...?

3: Is it me....

4: I also yielded with bicycles

Move, slowpoke!!

5: “Move”.....

Ye... yes

Pag 7

1: If you don't want to win, then don't run in races!!

3: Riding was fun, so I started running with bikes, but

4: Indeed....

Want to win.... huh

5: I'm nervous....

I was even late for the start the other day

And I couldn't move forward.....

6: I guess I'll cancel my entry on the next race, then....

I thought I should stop

Pag 8

1: Oi, you

2: At that time....

Ah- ah

My bad....

3: I was thinking while walking... and since the street is narrow

You want me to give way!?

4: Even though I was just walking on the side of the road

5: No

6: You don't have to give up anything

Pag 9

1: Huh

2: You said “my bad”, but you're not at fault

3: I heard there's a guy who goes to the same school as me and who ride bicycles

A guy who runs seriously and practices properly!!

4: I'm looking for that guy

Looking for....

5: He called out to me so self-importantly

Pag 10

1: That guy was Kaburagi Issa!!

Team up with me, and let's become the best in Japan!!

2: The strongest local club team here is called “Team SS”

First, let's join it and train!!

Pag 11

1: That guy was saying things that made no sense, but he had said the two things I wanted to hear the most at that time

2: “You don't have to give up anything”....

“You're not at fault”......

3: So, too suddenly and without really understanding, I said yes

Huh.... yes

Alright, it's decided

4: Danchiku!? It's an unusual name, and that's important!!

It's important?

'cause it sounds kinda cool!!

Huh

5: I still think it wasn't a mistake

What a weird guy....

6: Because Issa never stole my window seat

7: And didn't cut the line in front of me

Waa Danchiku, I'm so behind you!

Haha

Lucky you, dammit

Pag 12

1: And with an overwhelming accuracy, he gave me instructions to move forward!!

Here, Danchiku, move forward!!

Yeah!!

Pag 13

1: It's SS!!

Kaburagi from SS is jumping forward!!

Danchiku is pulling him, that's bad!!

2: Let's win this race!!

Yeah!!

5: That's why I always dreamed of making you “frolic”

Hahaha

6: I pulled you, and you took the finish line

7: That was enough for me

Pag 14

1: But then, after he joined Sohoku, Issa started to say those things

2: Now!! You're next!! Get stronger!!

3: I had no confidence

….. yeah

I wasn't selected for the Inter High during our first year

4: And even when I was chosen for the “Minegayama” race during fall

5: Don't worry, you can win

6: Even though Issa cheered for me, I doubted myself

Yeah

7: Practiced hard, I ran on Minegayama, and somehow I won

Pag 15

1: But right after that, my condition got bad

3: As expected..... right....

Alone, I convinced myself I didn't have what it takes

4: I didn't rely on my heart

It was probably small enough to fit in the palm of my hand

5: I read so many books, trying to make it bigger

Pag 16

1: You can do it, don't worry, you have me with you

I can't wait for the Inter High...!!

You're making so many grains of rice fly around

2: Hahaha

3: When the training camp started, Touji-san gave me a new bike

4: And I became your buddy

5: There's something I noticed

Let's make a special technique

You can do it now!!

7: Ah....

Pag 17

1: I remember something I read in a book

2: “Four things necessary for a person who wants to build up self-confidence”

3: “Find the amazing within you”

“Praise yourself for it”

“Don't deny it”

“Keep polishing it”

4: These are ideals... there's no way anyone can do it

6: I want to meet someone like that, bring them to me...

I thought so, and so that time I put down the book

7: But

Pag 18

1: He was there, right in front of my eyes!!

Pag 19

1: It's been right in front of my eyes the whole time!!

2: The guy who finds the “amazing” in himself, who praises himself for it, and never denies it!!

3: I realized I've been with him for many years!!

4: So I feel like I'm starting to see the process to gain confidence in myself, Issa!!

Pag 20

1: Please look at me, Issa

I'll go to the Inter High!!

2: To prove that my heart is getting bigger, little by little

3: And to make you, who believed in me, even more frolic!!

5: Danchiku is shouting!!

6: He accelerated again!!

7: I'll become much stronger!!

Pag 21

1: Garuaaa!!

2: 50m left!!

They're neck and neck!!

Being a dsmp fan.

Glad Tommy and Techno were my favorites, and my eyes for most of the events in it. I watched for others, but the main two were them. Ranboo was the third.

I'm still proud of my fic, the one that's still my most popular. I'm glad Tommy got his proper ending. It's so strange to see how much things have changed. I still have my flag, and a hand painted quote from the destruction of l'manburg that my friend made for my birthday. It was a big step forward in my writing career.

I grew up too, Tommy's only a little older than I am, and he's handling things really well. Good luck man.

I'm really disappointed in how some of these people are acting. I don't have Twitter myself so I have to get secondhand news, but it's a mess and I'm just really disappointed, but not surprised. Been on the fence about dream for a while. Not on it now. Sigh.

Good luck out there, everybody. We all grow up, but that doesn't mean we abandon what we loved, or that it makes those things stupid. Appreciate the joy you took in the little things that you were obsessed with from years ago. I wish all of us luck in anything in the future.

Stay safe everyone.
