The notion that all opposites...are merely different aspects of the same phenomenon is one of the basic principles of the Eastern way of life. Since all opposites are interdependent, their conflict can never result in the total victory of one side but will always be a manifestation of the interplay between the two sides. In the East, a virtuous person is therefore not one who undertakes the impossible task of striving for the good and eliminating the bad but rather one who is able to maintain a dynamic balance between good and bad.

The inclusion of anecdotes, case studies, and historical references adds depth to the narrative, illustrating the universality of these mystical experiences.

It will be my wisest course to go at once to my God, to Christ Jesus, and not to wander in a roundabout manner to this friend and that ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

[santmat]

I read, therefore I think. I think, therefore I am. A kind of birth of awareness: reading good books. This one is titled, Christ And The Eastern Soul Witness Of Oriental Conciousness Towards Christ, by Charles Cuthburt, and has some interesting observations about Christianity as an Eastern religion, Christian mysticism, etc... There's an AUDIO BOOK option as well. Click on the headphones icon. I make use of text-to-speech whenever I can to avoid burning bright white screens.

Exploring the Wisdom of the I Ching

The I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text that has been revered for thousands of years. Rooted in Taoist philosophy and mysticism, the I Ching is more than just a system of divination; it is a profound guide to understanding the dynamic nature of the universe and the patterns of change that shape our lives. In this blog, we will delve into the rich history, philosophy, and practical applications of the I Ching, exploring how this timeless oracle can offer insight and wisdom for navigating the complexities of our modern world.

The Origins and History:

The origins of the I Ching can be traced back to ancient China, where it was initially developed as a manual for divination around 3,000 years ago. Its creation is often attributed to the legendary sage Fu Xi, who is said to have discovered the eight trigrams, the fundamental building blocks of the I Ching, while contemplating the patterns of nature. Over the centuries, the text evolved and expanded, incorporating the wisdom of subsequent scholars and philosophers, including the famous Confucius.

The Structure of the I Ching:

At its core, the I Ching consists of 64 hexagrams, each composed of six stacked lines, either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang). These hexagrams represent various archetypal situations and states of being, offering a nuanced view of the ever-changing nature of existence. The combinations of yin and yang lines within each hexagram create a unique symbol, accompanied by a poetic description that serves as a guide to interpreting its meaning.

Philosophical Underpinnings:

The philosophy underlying the I Ching is deeply rooted in Taoism, emphasising the principles of Yin and Yang, the interplay of opposites, and the cyclical nature of change. The text encourages individuals to align themselves with the natural flow of energy, known as the Tao, and to adapt to the constant transformations in life. The I Ching teaches that change is inevitable, and by understanding its patterns, one can navigate through challenges with grace and wisdom.

Practical Applications:

While the I Ching is often associated with divination, its practical applications extend far beyond fortune-telling. Many users turn to the I Ching for guidance on decision-making, problem-solving, and gaining insight into personal development. The process of consulting the oracle involves casting a set of coins or using yarrow sticks to generate a hexagram, which is then interpreted in the context of the question or situation at hand. The responses provided by the I Ching are often thought-provoking and open to multiple interpretations, encouraging users to tap into their intuition and deeper understanding.

In a world marked by uncertainty and rapid change, the I Ching stands as a timeless source of wisdom, offering a profound perspective on the cyclical nature of existence. Whether used for divination or personal reflection, the I Ching provides a unique lens through which individuals can navigate the complexities of life with a sense of harmony and balance. By embracing its teachings, we can learn to flow with the currents of change, gaining insights that resonate across the ages.

Jewish amulet against Lilith from Eastern Europe, 19th century

The amulet was made in the traditional Ashkenazi papercut form and would be hung by the bed of the child or in the room where the mother would give birth. The animals on it are meant to symbolize the "ideal" human qualities, the three words on the bottom are the names of the three angles who captured and killed Lilith. According to ancient Jewish mythology, Lilith—known as the first wife of the first man, Adam—fled from her husband, and when she refused to return to him, 100 of her children died. Consequently, she seeks to steal the children of others. In Ashkenazi folklore, Lilith wanders at night in search for babies and their mothers, and especially during the first 8 days after the birth of a son, or 20 days following the birth of a daughter. Often the fear was that Lilith would snatch the newborn, leaving a straw doll in its place.

“When the holy Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara had truly grasped the transcendent wisdom, he realized that visible form is only illusion. The same applies to its perception, to its names and categories, to discriminative intellect and finally even to our consciousness. They are all illusion. With this realizaton he was beyond all sorrow and bitterness.

Disciple Sariputra! The material is not different from the immaterial. The immaterial and the material are in fact one and the same thing. The same applies to perception, concepts, discriminative thinking and consciousness. They are neither existing nor not existing.

Sariputra! All things therefore they are in themselves not good and not bad, they are not increasing and not decreasing.

Therefore one may say there are no such things as form, perception, concepts, thinking process, and consciousness. Our senses such as eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind are misleading us to illusion; thus one may also say there is no reality in visible form, sound, smell, taste, touch and mindknowledge. There are also no such things as the realms of sense from sight up to mind, and no such things as the links of existence from ignorance and its end to old age and death and their end. Also the caturāryasatyāni are nonexistent, just as there is no such thing as wisdom and also no gain.

Because the holy Bodhisattva who relies on transcendent wisdom knows that there is no gain, he has no worries and also no fear. Beyond all illusion he has reached the space of highest Nirvana.

All Buddhas of the past, present and future, found highest perfect knowedge because they relied on transcendental wisdom.

Therefore we ought to know that the great verse of the transcendent wisdom is unsurpassed in its splendor, and that it appeases truly all pain. It reads:

GATE, GATE, PARAGATE, PARASAMGATE BODHISVAHA!”

-The Heart Sutra.

One of the reasons for rejecting the conclusions of much of modern secular psychology as well as Eastern mysticism is that their views about human nature do not comport with most people’s experiences in the world. Evil and suffering are stark realities of life.

what if they were human?

kay kay kay so i was thinking what would the bugs loook like if they we in a human form or like in a disguse similar to scrabby and this is what i got:

I was also thinking hmm.... well beetles are one of the most diverse species in the world and literally I watched a video talking about how they collected beetles for a sample in the wild and out of those beetles they discovered 7 new species. Soooooo I was like what if they were different races instead?

honestly, I'd be so funny bc of how Scrabby is ginger and he just starts singing the Animaniacs song if someone asks his race

its literally just this lol

also I did as much research as I could ofc :p

Many Asian cultures have tales of Naga, half-human, half-snake divine or semi divine beings of formidable power. Accounts of Naga are as diverse as the various cultures that originated them, but they are frequently described as large and intimidating, with a deadly bite, though some are able to on an entirely human form.

Despite their ferocious physical demeanor, Naga are usually depicted as calm, logical, wise, and often peaceful, taking time to consider their actions rather than acting rashly.
