when I tend to my working, i try to be delighted in the things I come to know, delighted in knowledge, also in the things I create while working. Commonly, it’s hard to get underway— the work, the studying, possibly due to the thorns surrounding my mind, but when it happens I try to concentrate. I’d say, speak-ably, that I come to find awe in being a sort of creator and a holder of certain universal principles.

A human reaps what they sow. So sow Beauty and Humility while preparing your garment, which is truly the Lord’s. Know that you, yourself, are a garment, inwrought with not only your will, but God’s Will.

DREAMED OF BIBLE VERSES :
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose
no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the CREATOR and their vindication from Me, declares GOD.”
One scripture randomly came to mind:
For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God.
SYMBOLISM
CIRCLE
The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the infinite, eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement, God ('God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere' (Hermes Trismegistus)). As the sun, it is masculine power; as the soul and as encircling waters, it is the feminine maternal principle. "It implies an idea of movement, and symbolizes the cycle of time, the per petual motion of everything that moves, the planets' journey around the sun (the circle of the zodiac), the great rhythm of the universe. The circle is also zero in our system of numbering, and symbolizes potential, or the embryo. It has a magical value as a protective agent, ... and indicates the end of the process of individuation, of striving towards a psychic wholeness and self-realization" (Julien, 71).
With the number ten, symbolizes heaven and perfection as well as eternity. In Jung, the antithesis of the square (lowest state of man who has not achieved inner perfection), standing for the ultimate state of Oneness, with octagon in between. Circle of Necessity: birth, growth, decline, death. Defense against chaos, formlessness. Related to YIN YANG
MIRROR
In times both modern and ancient, the mirror is implicitly connected to beauty and the imagination. Further symbolism of the mirror shows a connection to secrets—both the hiding and revealing of them. The mirror also, in turn, symbolises revelation and truth: the mirror often shows the face, and the eyes. The eyes, are the paths to truth: they are the “window to the soul”, or, ever-more interestingly, the “mirror of the soul.” in gazing into the mirror, is therefore not merely enjoying the sight of one’s own beauty, but is acknowledging the truth of all that resides within one, one at least hopes they see more than flesh. not merely a symbol of pride or vanity, but rather of the truth of survival – sometimes harsh, sometimes gentle. It symbolises the truth of the human body, the imagination of humans and gods, and the nature and prolonged existence of all that there is and ever was.
The Mirror of Aphrodite symbol can be viewed as a wand and represents an ability to cast one's designs onto the world, urging others to look at and deeply examine their own principles.
In Roman Mythology, Veritas ( Classical Latin), meaning Truth, is the goddess of truth. The elusive goddess is said to have hidden in the bottom of a holy well. She is depicted both as a virgin dressed in white and as the “naked truth” (nuda veritas) holding a hand mirror.
The oracle of Apollo at Delphi demanded of the ancient Greek ‘know thyself,’ and mirrors have often been used as symbols of wisdom and self-knowledge. But Apollo also required ‘nothing in excess,’ and the mirror can just as easily imply vanity, an unhealthy amount of self-regard. The peril of over admiring one’s mirror image is encapsulated in the ancient Greek myth of Narcissus, the beautiful boy who having fallen in love with his reflection in a pool, pined away and was turned into a flower.
In ancient art the mirror is often associated with the world of women and does not necessarily carry any symbolic value, although it was an attribute of the Roman goddess Venus (Greek Aphrodite).
In Christian art the mirror came to represent the eternal purity of the Virgin Mary. As the medieval writer Jacobus de Voragine wrote:
“As the sun permeates glass without violating it, so Mary became a mother without losing her virginity… She is called a mirror because of her representation of things, for as all things are reflected from a mirror, so in the blessed Virgin, as in the mirror of God, ought all to see their impurities and spots, and purify them and correct them: for the proud, beholding her humility see their blemishes, the avaricious see theirs in her poverty, the lovers of pleasures, theirs in her virginity.”
The mirror in art can have other positive meanings. The allegorical figures of Prudence and Truth were often imagined carrying mirrors. Above is An Allegory of Sight [PD.355-1963] from c.1598 by the Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius, one of a series of drawings about the five senses. A naked woman, perhaps intended to be the goddess Venus or maybe Juno, regards her reflection in a convex hand mirror. Beside her is an eagle, the bird of the Roman god Jupiter, and the symbol most often used to represent sight in Renaissance art.
Gradually however the mirror came to be associated with the negative values suggested by the myth of Narcissus. Vanity and Deception rather than Truth and Prudence were the connotations the mirror carried most often from the Renaissance on. Paulus Moreelse’s painting has been interpreted variously as an allegory of Lasciviousness or Vanity: just as the mirror is dishonest, a carrier of pure illusion, so this girl’s beauty is an illusion, as transitory and shallow as her reflection in the glass.
One way in which an artist can make use of the mirror is to show us something that we would not otherwise be able to see; the reflection of an object or person outside the scope of the painting perhaps. In Moreelse’s painting the mirror provides an alternative view of what we can already see: the girl’s face, this time in profile. Her physical appearance is so important to the painting, that we get two views of the same face.
In Alfred Elmore’s Victorian melodrama, On the Brink, left [PD.108-1975], the back wall of the gambling house into which we look is dominated by a tall narrow gilt mirror. Given its central position opposite the viewer, one might expect it to reflect the window through which we look. It in fact reflects nothing other than the room’s hellish red wallpaper, emphasizing the ghastly trap of debt and immoral obligation that the woman in the foreground has stumbled into.
GLASS
Glass is eternal; you can break it into the tiniest particles, melt it down, turn it into magnificent forms, but it would always stay what it is, glass.
Glass is made out of all four essential elements. It symbolizes transformation, change, eternity and rebirth.
Glass is an impressive material, although, symbolically, it is commonly associated with ideas exactly the opposite of longevity and eternity. Glass is commonly seen as a symbol of fragility, vulnerability and brittleness.
Glass symbolism is dual. It represents things that are fragile, but also things that are protective and strong.
Glass could symbolize invisible protection, but also brittle, unsteady one. Glass stands for clairvoyance and ability to see through things. It stands for things you are aware and those of which you are not.
glass is, in general, something that can always be ‘revived’.
POEM —SHILOH JOGI
“the day’s dirt hangs tight on my skin. I discard the clothes into the dirty bin. I keep my mouth closed, but my mind is wide open. Stepping into the shower, I turn the handles, reminds me of a bare life. The water runs wild all over, and I close my eyes, and I see the All Seeing/Knowing Eye.
I have this hand held mirror –never looking in it, on the highest shelf, hidden from light. On my knees I fought monsters inside me, & I crawled to that shelf and stood on my tip-toes. Finally, I put the handheld mirror in my hand and looked into the abyss! Change, change —echoed.
Pardon me.
Describe things as illuminating when they clarify the situation or explain the facts. A long conversation with someone you don't know well can be illuminating, helping you understand them much better. Likewise, studying the details of any subject, whether it's Humanitarianism, Social Justice, Psychology, or Ethical Practices, is also illuminating.
