Move forward with new directions only when mercury retrograde is over.

Day 6: They Always Know Where You Are—I decided to go with a more reflective tone for the digital artwork because I'm a bit sad right now and just needed to draw something that reflects that. So yeah, here's this artwork. 

I was mainly playing around with color and effects for this one.

This is a deep healing. I trust intuition and divine wisdom. Chakra is open and doing inner reflection. Those situations almost killed me! I pull the swords out. This is a rebirth. Spiritual awakening. Waking up into a new world and light. We are at the ending over a major soul cycle. Dreaming bigger, moving toward my gateway.

The Parable of the Mirror

In a small town, there lived a wise man to whom people came for advice. One day, a man burdened by resentment and the injustices of the world visited him.

"Teacher," the man cried out, "why are people so cruel? Why do they deceive, humiliate, and betray? It pains me to see this, and I can no longer live among such people."

The wise man listened, smiled, and said, "Come to me at dawn tomorrow, and I will show you the answer."

The next morning, the man arrived as promised. The sage handed him a spotless mirror and asked him to look into it.

"What do you see?" the wise man asked.

"Myself," the man replied, puzzled.

"Now smear some dirt on the mirror and look again," the teacher instructed.

The man did as he was told, but instead of his reflection, he saw only smudges.

"The world works the same way," the sage explained. "When your heart is pure, you see beauty and light in everyone. But when you carry anger and resentment within you, you see only dirt. The world is a mirror. To make it better, start by cleaning your own reflection."

The man reflected on this wisdom and bowed in gratitude. From that day forward, he stopped complaining about others and focused on keeping his own mirror clean.

Moral: The world around us reflects our inner state. Change yourself, and you will change what you see.

Unpacking Plotinus’ Vision of “The One”

Emanation of Reality Plotinus’ concept of The One is central to his philosophy and offers a profound framework for understanding existence and our place within it. Unlike traditional ideas of a creator deity or a supreme being, The One represents something far beyond such classifications. It is not a person, an entity, or even something that can be fully understood by human thought. Instead, The…

The Mirror Within

Consciousness Awakening to ItselfIn the silent depths of introspection, there exists a profound mystery as ancient as existence itself: the phenomenon of consciousness gazing upon its reflection, unaware of its true nature until a moment of awakening. This moment—when consciousness becomes aware of itself—is akin to a mirror suddenly recognizing its surface, a realization that what it has been…

Proof that you are healing ❤️‍🩹✨

Validation doesn’t validate you – You no longer need outside approval to feel worthy or secure.

Triggers don’t trigger you – You observe emotional reactions without letting them control you.

You respond instead of react – You pause, process, and choose a conscious response.

You no longer chase people – You know your worth and stop seeking validation from others.

You set boundaries without guilt – Saying no feels empowering, not shameful.

You don’t take things personally – Other people’s actions are about them, not you.

You embrace being alone – Being alone feels peaceful, not lonely.

You trust yourself – You make decisions based on intuition, not fear.

You release old narratives – You stop replaying past wounds and let go of victim mentality.

You allow happiness without fear – You stop waiting for something to go wrong when life is good.

You observe triggers instead of being consumed by them – Triggers become opportunities for self-awareness and growth.

You no longer seek revenge or prove points – You value your energy too much to waste it on unnecessary battles.
