Good Morning/Afternoon Tumblrs!

Live simply~ Don’t get caught in the machine of the world- it is too exhausting. By the time you get what you are seeking, if at all, your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged and the bones are aching. Resolve to develop your spiritual powers more earnestly from now on. Learn the art of right living. If you have joy you have everything, so learn to be glad and contented with your life. Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world. It is only by removing hate from our hearts that we can live a Loving life and create Peace. ~PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA

PANDEMIC INTERNET DISCOVERY-OPUS X,

Tangardak kaya or Utroba Cave (“Womb Cave”, “Cave Vulva”) is a a Thracian sanctuary carved out of the mountain between the XI and X century BC near the village of Nenkovo in the Rhodope Mountains in  Bulgaria.  The natural shape of the cave was used to give the sanctuary the shape of a vagina. The sanctuary therefore is supposed to have been used for the worship of a mother goddess, goddess of pregnancy and feritility rites or possibly also initiations. The site of the Utroba womb cave is located only 18 km west from the highly important temple city of Perperikon.  Perperikon has been a temple site since the megalithic era. It represents the largest megalith ensemble in the Balkans and thought to be the home of the legendary Dionysus temple..“

“Aphrodite (1902) Art by British artist Briton Rivière (1840 – 1920)”

“Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess Venus/Aphrodite. It was considered a day to worship the Divine Feminine that lives in us all and to honor the cycles of creation and death and rebirth. Friday the 13th was considered a very powerful day to manifest and honor creativity and to celebrate beauty, wisdom and nourishment of the soul. Friday is Venus/Aphrodite day and we all know that Venus/Aphrodite is the epitome of feminine energy.”

“If the butterfly didn’t know how to end its life in the cocoon then we would have a bunch of dead butterflies inside of tiny silk coffins, little lives that refused to change. Perhaps due to fear of the unknown. But lots of people are less fortunate than butterflies, they don’t know when to give up, say goodbye, let go, move on. 

You’d think the holometabolism of the butterfly is about not giving up, but it’s not; it’s about giving up and letting in the unknown. The attainment of the state of being alive is not about never giving up; it’s about having the courage to give up, and to let in, over and over again; while you readjust your compass and realign your path.”
