"Every now and again take a good look at something not made with hands - a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world."

I thought (have been thinking for a few days) about my general aimlessness and me flowing too much with time. Someone told me, oh you don’t look your age, and I thought ~maybe because I am not chasing anything I feel like I haven’t aged? ~
Flowing with time should feel easy and comfortable, but right now, it feels uncomfortable and squirmy 😶‍🌫️
I wrote to myself today that I want to be someone who knows what she is doing in life and as a blessing it also rained today. I take it as a positive sign that my flowing is leading me to my bank ( if that’s what I want) very soon!

Gnostic Commentary on a Buddhist Text:
On a certain day when the Buddha dwelt at Jetavana, a celestial deva (angel, master) came to him in the shape of a Brahman (priest), whose countenance was bright and whose (inner) garments (solar bodies) were white as snow (due to his perfect chastity).
The deva asked the Buddha, "What is the sharpest sword? What is the deadliest poison? What is the fiercest fire? What is the darkest night?"
The Buddha replied, "A word spoken in wrath is the sharpest sword (because it cuts both speaker and hearer); covetousness is the deadliest poison (because poison kills the entire body, not just the mouth that ingests it); hatred is the fiercest fire (the agony of hatred burns without rest); ignorance is the darkest night (lack of gnosis is the deepest suffering)."
The deva asked, "What is the greatest gain? What is the greatest loss? What armor is invulnerable? What is the best weapon?"
The Buddha replied, "The greatest gain is to give to others (this is the law of the Christ); the greatest loss is to receive (Kabbalah) without gratitude (those who receive wisdom and horde it, or who corrupt it, suffer the greatest loss, because the Christ will never incarnate in them). Patience is an invulnerable armor (patience is the secret key to initiation, and with it, one can never be harmed by any ordeal); wisdom (Chokmah, Christ) is the best weapon."
The deva asked, "Who is the most dangerous thief? What is the most precious treasure?"
The Buddha replied, "Unwholesome thought is the most dangerous thief (the mind is our worst enemy); virtue (vir- comes from virility: sexual potency) is the most precious treasure."
The deva asked, "What is attractive? What is unpleasant? What is the most horrible pain? What is the greatest enjoyment?"
The Buddha replied, "Wholesomeness (that which is in accordance with the Law; that is, it is whole in Christ) is attractive; unwholesomeness (that which is contrary to the Law) is unpleasant. A bad conscience is the most tormenting pain (that is, a consciousness trapped in evil deeds); awakening the height of bliss (ecstasy, samadhi, the clear perception of the awakened bodhicitta)."
The deva asked, "What causes ruin in the world? What breaks off friendships? What is the most violent fever? Who is the best physician?"
The Buddha replied, "Ignorance (lack of gnosis / da'ath) causes ruin in the world; envy and selfishness break off friendships; hatred is the most violent fever; the (inner) Buddha is the best physician." (These are the three poisons which are the axle of the wheel of suffering.)
The deva then continued, "Now I have only one doubt to be cleared away: What is it fire cannot burn, nor moisture corrode, nor wind crush down, but is able to benefit the whole world?"
The Buddha replied, "Blessing! Neither fire, nor moisture, nor wind can destroy the blessing of a good deed (right action); and blessings benefit the whole world." (Therefore, learn how to embody right action: the will of the Inner Buddha as performed by his human soul: Tiphereth.)
Hearing these answers, the deva was filled with joy. Bowing down in respect, he dissapeared suddenly from the presence of the Buddha. —The Sharpest Sword

SILENCE IS POWER
You must have noticed it, and if not, start noticing from now. People of power, authority are observed to be quite. The mystery they carry is good enough to be intimidating. Their stoic personality slow movement of not just the body but also their mouth radiates presence of self control. One who speaks less is heard more.
Try this simple yet effective experiment if you ever come across a group discussion. Initially become a good listener. Do not speak a word, try to act as if you are all ears e.g.; lean forward to show that you are carefully listening to the person who is speaking. Try to catch eye contact of the person who is speaking, nod head if needed, look them in the area between their eyes creating a tunnel of connection and constant eye contact. Remember your body language would be doing the discussion and not your words. Be calm and composed with slow body movements maintaining a good body posture. Give chance to the people who are eager to speak and do the same with them. When you think almost every one has spoken, its your turn to open up. Start with a good loud voice and throw a sentence that makes sense. chances are you would make a point since you have all the data, a better area of judgement and a good guess of the other personalities. And since no one has heard you speak a word, they are dying to listen to you, "The Mystery Man".
You must notice that suddenly every one is quite and you are being heard, you are unknowingly being respected.

I am, right now, really into this type of meditation, which is just the process of sitting still, watching your breath, and being very aware of your thoughts, emotions, and the way your body feels. Something called "mindfulness." It's the practice of mindfulness, which is just watching the way that you act and the way that you feel and the way that you think and becoming aware of the roots of a lot of the emotions that exist in you.

We spend waaayyy too much time planning life in our heads, and not nearly enough time experiencing life through our senses.

Ngga Ngapa-ngapain
Sesi menyusui pernah membuatku merasa tidak berdaya karena ada perasaan "jadi ngga bisa ngapa-ngapain". Tidak bisa mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah, dan seringkali berusaha "nyambi" balas chat di ponsel.
Aku lalai mengingat fakta bahwa ketika menyusui, aku membutuhkan kalori lebih besar dibandingkan kondisi ketika tidak menyusui. Aku butuh  2425 - 2700 kkl untuk menyusui sedangkan dalam kondisi tidak menyusui adalah 2,125 sampai 2,250 kalori per hari.
Aku lalai mengingat bahwa ketika menyusui sebenarnya aku sedang melakukan sesuatu. Aku sedang menjadi perantara rezeki dari Allah untuk anakku. Aku sedang menjadi perantara kehidupan. ASI yang sedang kuperjuangkan agar bisa masuk ke perut bayi kecilku adalah makanan yang berisi nutrisi penting bagi pertumbuhan sel rambut, kulit, dan organ-organ penting lainnya.
Sesi menyusui juga menjadi pengikat batin antara aku dan anakku. Sesi yang dapat membantu mengisi tangki cinta bayi kecil ini agar semoga kelak diizinkan jadi manusia yang penyayang dan lembut hatinya.
