A short story about hilariously reused assets:

Early in the first episode of the Icebrood Saga, a character is tied to a post. Dark story, serious themes, spooky music.

Except.

This is the same animation used in the Super Adventure Box when you run out of tokens and wind up in Moto’s game over dungeon.

Enjoy that.

Someone in a FB group I cofacilitate called asked about Jung’s use of mandalas. As I have Jung’s Red Book laying in bed with me (some people have lovers in bed, others have cats and dogs I have the soul books of dead visionaries) I figured I’d create a quick video about it. Much of the world has forgotten that a lot of our modern psychology, healing modalities, and much of the “New Age” has its roots in Jung’s work. That writing has its roots in Jung’s mental break down/spiritual emergence where he sought to reconnect to his soul after feeling like he’d let her starve. Essentially he worked hard to be “successful” but felt empty of meaning, at which point his mind rebelled and he began to have visions and enter into a deep process that today would be diagnosed with a host of labels such as depression, mania, anxiety, and perhaps Schizophrenia. The Red Book explores his attempt to fight this experience while his soul or a deeper part of him teaches him that the madness is important. It holds the seed to his wholeness. It’s a story of breaking through his social conditioning to find the depths of who he was. Manadalas were a way for him to explore this wholeness beyond rational/analytic thought. Once he did this he felt more connected to his fullness and became more embodied. It’s the foundation of his work. I went through a similar process. I actually put the Red Book aside without reading when I first got it because I felt I needed to have my own process and compare notes after. If you’re having your own experience of breakdown/emergence I’d recommend Shades of Awakening on FB. It’s a good support community. You can also join my mailing list to hear more of my personal exploration and insights via the tree link in my profile. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

This is my friend Raymond! He is living in East Harlem and he considers himself a hospitality professional who enjoys spending time with friends and family. They like doing things like cooking, going out, museums and more! Raymond is a firm believer in "treating others the way you want to be treated" (even if they they don't always treat you well). His advice to others is be honest with yourself, because nobody spends more time with you, than you. #LivingStory #BryanAlexanderMedia #RayPoppin

Jesus has a remedy for our emptiness, our fatigue, our inadequacies, our sin: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” The rhythms of grace are found in John 15, where Jesus tells us to stop trying to be vines and learn to be branches. He’s the Vine, and we’re meant to live out of his abundance. It’s as if he says, “Listen, your work is to stick near me, abide in me, pray to me, soak in my words, be with me, and love me. All you need to be is a little, dependent branch; I will make you to bear fruit.” #abide #work #burnout #thirsty #fatigue #bearjournal #journal #bearissues #writting #livingwater #livingstory #remedy #grace #love #vine #soak #companion #emptiness #bear #fruit #jesus #wordsinspiration #inspiration #devotion

There was a part of the recent Living Story where the characters were looking out on some vast and majestic thing with great reverence, but when I swung the camera around the raptors looked like a bunch of excited puppies who just wanted to lick everything or try to fit it in their mouths.

I’ve had a lot of difficulty as an adult around the concepts of rest and play. I know I need it but it’s hard to make space and time for it. In particular when I block off some time for rest I feel bored, lethargic, and directionless. I’ve had counselors try to work with me on it being ok to watch movies and play video games and yes that is great if it works for you (and it does for me sometimes) but most of the time I feel bored, drained, and jaded by these activities. This last Monday I was experiencing this when I asked myself “what would you really like to do?” And the answer came “work on my poetry.” So that’s what I did for hours and I loved it and it felt fulfilling. I’ve also been participating in the #vss365 challenge on Twitter where one writes a very short story or poem from a prompt every day. It’s been incredibly fun. The poem here is the result of today’s prompt of “curry.” It gets the creative juices flowing and feels fulfilling. Rest and play are incredibly important but what that looks like may not be the same thing for you as for others. I know I’ve spent a lot of time trying to rest in ways that didn’t work for me because others said it was what you do. Find the ways of being that fulfill you. That leave you feeling better rested, delighted, enjoying your self. Find these ways and do them no matter what others are doing. I’ll be dropping my Twitter handle down below. If you have a space where you practice a hobby or share some part of your rest and play please share it here! #play #dream #create #poetry #instapoetry #creativewriting #poems #poet #poetryisnotdead #poetsofig #spilledink #embodiedmindfulness #enchantinglife #pathsoftransformation #windsofchange #ameaningfullife #livingalchemy #livingstory #beyondsurviving #lifemagic #personalmythology #lifeunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/p/B57wwhSBDSr/?igshid=rz44qhh3q83m

I helped Meme make offerings today. I love this culture with its traditions that have parallels to the old ways across world. To mindfully arrange flowers, make offerings at altars, sweep out temples creates a whole new state of life and being. It’s a means to embody our gratitude for life’s beauty. To show our devotion to the wonders of life whether the day has been pleasant or upsetting. This aspect of devotion has truly enriched my life and yet as I write this I have @alanclementsworlddharma ‘s voice in my head. “Say no to spiritual apartheid.” The separation of our spiritual experience from our every moment because we think it’s best reserved for a temple or a church, for the yoga studio, our full moon celebration or a moment lighting some incense. These pictures were taken in the kitchen as I mindfully placed flowers and a cracker with each offering saying “thank you for the ups and downs. For being here with me. For this family.” How can we incorporate that spirit with us everywhere we go? So that every step is a thank you? Every breath is transcendent? Every act is a moment of artistry expressing and praising life in all its wonder and terror? Alan calls this the state of beautifying our minds and life. I’ll call it the state of making these moments sacred. What has worked for you to bring this about in your own life? To imbue the seemingly mundane with the full presence of you touching reality? #mindfulmoments #sacredmoment #enchantinglife #lifeissacred #culture #newvisions #ageofaquarius #ageofaquarius♒ #fullmoonritual #personalgrowth #prayerispowerful #shadesofawakening #pathsoftransformation #windsofchange #ameaningfullife #liveyourstory #livingalchemy #livingstory #beyondsurviving #lifemagic #innerworldsouterworlds #personalmythology #returningtonaturesrhythm #lifeunfiltered #Bali #Wanderlust #dharma_travel #lifeinbali #expat https://www.instagram.com/p/B5p7YxGBEvw/?igshid=1rbu75kmrrsod
