Il coraggio è alzarsi ogni mattina sapendo che devi affrontare un mondo malvagio, e conservare un animo sereno per fare un po' di bene senza contare sulla riconoscenza di nessuno.

PART 2

Date: 14 August 2023

Duration: 41 minutes at 10:44 PM

Depth:

Since June, I have been hearing sounds in my head during my meditations. My hearing has interiorised enough, after more than 23 years of meditating and after 3 years of shaking with surplus life energy in the spine. I continue shaking because my spine continues dissipating surplus energies by quivering.

Since June, the sound perceived during meditation has undergone many changes. From clacking to clicking to ticking to flicking and now it has begun sounding like a double note of a percussion like phone notification.

The sound has never had a rhythmic pattern to it. It has been shifty. I have mostly heard all of those sounds coming from the right hand side of my head. One tick from behind the right ear, another flick from the above the ear and so on.

In these latest meditations that I write about, the shifty nature of the perceived source of sound has become fixed. That’s the single big change that is underway. It is likely that such fixedness is important to Dharana.

Dharana is the 6th step in Sage Patanjali’s 8-step path of Raja Yoga. This step, as I understand the literature about it, is to do with undoing self interrupting thoughts. It makes sense. If I perceive sounds caused by life energies flowing in my brain capillaries, I am going to give my attention wholly to the perceived sound.

DCO Etzion, 14.8.2023

Shlomit Steinitz, Natanya Ginsburg

Hanna Barag asked us to wait for a man who had had an accident in which a settler had been involved. A child had been ridden over and the settler had fled the scene. We waited and thought that he had probably gone up to the police station by mistake and so it was. Hanna wanted him to meet with someone at the DCO who could help him. Eventually he came and at the same time two soldiers came out to the fence, one of whom was a Druze captain. For years we have been told that the policeman came on Tuesday and there had  even been a notice to that effect. He was very aggressive and said that for as long as he could remember the policeman came on a Monday at about one o'clock and on a Wednesday.  As we have never seen him before, we do not know how long he has been at Etzion. Why doesthe policeman come so  late? Because he comes from the north and can not arrive earlier. We hope  that if ever there is a state of emergency he will be able to get up earlier. We asked how the Palestinians are supposed to know this and he said..."They know." It  has been published." Where? When? No reply. 

By the way, a report of this had appeared on facebook but nothing at all on the  news. Had it been a Palestinian and a Jewish child....it would be on the news for at least a week. Hanna has written a report about this. And of course, the police are claiming it was just a traffic accident and not a terrorist attack. 

A man who has a wife and four children in Jerusalem wants permission to be able, not only to visit them, but also to spend the night. His wife is again pregnant and not well and there is also a child who is autistic. She really needs his help and because of ill health neither of the grandparents can help them. He asked us to speak to the soldiers and that we  have no communication with them. Oh, where are the days when Nadav was at the DCO. Since then the quality of the DCO representative has simply eroded and is non-existent. 

On the road when we came there were a bunch of Hariediem and guessed that they said that there was a grave there.Hanna also said that this was  so. Going back we were caught in a traffic jam and thought that maybe the Hariediem were demonstrating but as they were all over the digs it is possible that people were slowing down to watch their antics. The first picture shows one of them trying to climb up the sand.

Sarajevo , 14.8.2023.

[louisupdates]

As someone who… I think my favorite live music event to go to, is a festival. I’ve had some of my best memories there, especially as a young kid growing up, and still to this day. So to be able to create my own festival has always been a dream of mine. For a long time, I didn’t know how plausible it was. It was over lockdown, really, that I really started digging into the idea. And it’s something, you know— it kind of sits in line with where I’m at, and what I like. I like new bands. I like the idea of development and watching bands grow. And it’s kind of a good opportunity for me to bring bands like Stone— we had Stone last year— and watching them go on to do great things, which is also great. So it’s a great opportunity for me to show what I like musically, but also at the same time to hopefully give a platform to new bands as well.

Balkans trip part 2: Thessaloniki

[madfantasy]

Dear blogging

Hello dears hope ur doing well.

I'm back alive.

It feels like forever

I had another scare over one of my guardians, who is half paralysed, getting super sick; us living no where near any whete for hours. Simply put, if something happened to my guardians, our whole exsistance is funked. So I was near breaking the whole time & so frustrated that we are so helpless.. They got better thankfully, but then i got sick in turn, bedridden, shuddering with fever and all. I can only guess it from using an expired medication cuz it never got that bad before..

I was angry too that my guardians did not check on me, knowing I'm sick. Even tho I know they won't and have never done so before, never the less I wished.. it just made me honed in on how truly alone I am

I suddnly got reminded that I was a Digimon baby, and found perlonged distraction in playing Digimon world 3 ( if u played it u know the horrendous grind it requires). I just remembered how bad I wanted those digivices, they weren't even locally known let alone available.

I need those plushies now

Now that i am aware and dont feel like mush, I sat about the house with sibs, the first I had to be greated with is my guardians yelling ofc. I nearly forgot they needed to constantly dim the moral over the pittiful of things, & I had to assume the third parent role again, so they went back to ignoring my corrections cuz they can't rebuff them and just say they weren't talking to me so it's non of ur business.

I rushed back to my room & cried after my sibs told me we're out of tissues. It was yet a another tipping point over the accumulating shi.

On the plus side, I have never stopped writing ideas to my drawing list, sometimes I think its too much, heh

But I've decided also to make a balance, to draw my ocs too. Cuz I feel I have been have been neglecting so many aspects of doing my art that made it worth the whole process. Like I need to express feelings, that's the main, but have fear that I've lost the sense of creativity, in doing fashion and what not. I always felt I couldn't go full blast in fanart cuz i still want it to be relevant, even tho I feel everything I draw is out of place no matter what, somehow.

Also to draw creepy fairytale vibes where its safe in a way, to call it dark art, all for the sake of my artistic drive✨️

Wish u well, have a splendid Monday beverage ☕️ 🍵 🧃

14.8.2023 - Last Twilight Filming

Tbh with you all, these two pictures make me giggle like a maniac. I previously talked about how curious I am about Ohm and his character + the role he plays in Day's life and his relationship with Mork. These pictures seem to just answer everything XD

Okay, not really. Once again I'm left hoping Ohm/August gets to be more than someone who makes Mork jealous. But with these pics, I don't really mind. Look at Mork's sour face! He's so amusing. And Day is just pure sunlight, damn. How is he so radiant?

Also, I have to point out that I am extremely satisfied with the styling department's performance when it comes to this series. Just like BB felt comfy and like I was watching real people be, well, just people, so does this. These are just people, just some guys. This is just about normal life and things that happen to normal people. Unlike in VV where everything, for obvious reasons, had this magical or fantastical quality to it (the filming locations, props, styling), Last Twilight is about realism. It's something you can fully relate to, and I need to thank P'Aof for that. As much as I enjoyed VV/PuenTalay, it's nice to see JimmySea dressed so casually and acting as guys who just happen to live their lives and meet in the middle of it.

(idk if this makes any sense but all these pics just give me such a comfy feeling and i am so excited to see everyone in action and just learn to know these characters)

last line tag (14.8.2023)

thanks @void-botanist for the tag!

this is from the gemini heist, in the aftermath of Things Going Wrong:

“How is she?” Leo asked, staying in the doorway to give the mechanomedic some space. “Not great, but she could be worse,” Gabi muttered without looking up from her work. “She was very lucky the shot didn’t hit anything important, but she lost a lot of blood. I’m giving her tons of fluids."

yeah i know how medicine works
