Dear traveler, you have embarked on your cosmic journey through the primordial swamp destined to seeking the fabled jewel of old lore, tucked in the muck hidden buried and entombed in the very hearth of the heart belonging to the lotus. Tendrils of capital T Truth spread-out as Talen's of roots spread deeper into the thick viscous oozing muck absent of any source of reprieve spare for the anaerobic microbial life forms scampering in their homes. You find your footing ahold in the vast and empty webs of Indra's net.

As you feel the cool earth beneath you taking root you feel each step come alive continuing ever forward along the old forest trail. Geb tickles you from beneath with their soft embrace along each step you make along the game paths. Each footfall, cushioned by fallen leaves scattered from the eternal game of tag gusted forward by Tengger and Vayu, with their echoes still trailing their paths as a careless whisper of compassion and kindness, entrenching you to the very beating heart of the lotus, the pule connecting it, you, to and through all realms.

You move ever deeper into the Immersive expanse of the swamp. Incompressible how something vast and never ending can feel cramped and crowded. Still on any part of the path no matter how claustrophobic or roomy itself and the surrounding space might be there is a constant vibration humming in the background. First awareness creeps in from the corners of your perception as its presence grows ever louder and warmer as an becomes a constant of your framework. The rhythmic beatings of Mole Crickets and Cicadas signing with the Katydids lay the second layer of color to the chorus of this hym. While as if on que you become aware of the woodwinds of this triumphant songs of Gamayun and the Mimi Spirits interwoven into this living tapestry worth of life itself, worthy of you as you are of it.

Beams of sunlight joyfully dance through the canopy hugging one side on the leaves while shadow reach up and o out compassionately holding and hugging the sunlight at every chance each on there side of the leaf in an timeless dance. Their exchange bathe the swamp in warm primordial tides in illumination. From this churning of soup you acknowledge to an incomplete understanding of non duality, that all beings all things of creation are part of the same thread, swelling forward the compassionate recognition of the all within.

Breathe, the aroma of the world around you begins to take hold sparking fires in your minds garden, blooming the very flowers that constructed your perception. A fragrant blend of dank, rich, mulchy earthen dirt, sweet floral intoxications as attentions seeking missiles dedicated for the evolutionary purpose of romance and lust, and universally affirming scent of life itself, a scent that bacons in feelings of warmth and lifts the weights of burden from your shoulders as everything becomes still. This olfactory symphony assists in taking to you to a place beyond the burdens of life where for a moment you are free, present your ancient evolved sensory have deepen you are a point of connection in your biome, your natural world, careful in its construction.

As this experience continues to breath and live as its own agent in time, give yourself the necessary consent to graze experiencing the sensations of bark the living skin of the guardians, the continued linage from the fabled ancient trees of UR religious doctrine. The pulse seemingly so rigid and cold, strong but brittle slow down. You move too fast for them. As you linger in the moment forever more extending it closer to the infinite abyss and finally then you begin to creep sensations and premonitions of their collective resilience a mycological wisdom finding its ancestry here now. Feel it, traveler as you kiss the eternal infinite, transcending while remaining here now. As Shapash Travels rising in the West towards its destined slumber in the East the lotus Descends into Illumination.

Don’t Meditate. Why would you seperate yourself into a limited perception and state of being? Traveler, your alive- your supposed to just live. Thank you for joining us as we work through Section Four of the Bardo Thodol- The Descent Into Illumination. #podcast #meditation #mindfulness #glitch #lifelessons #trippyart

[talthejourneyed]

From The Descent Into Illumination Samantha brings forward a meditation, walking down a cold and crunch path, surrounded by saturated colors and the magik of old. Familiar spirits call into unity looking for eternal partners to dance with. Walking to the summit is more than remembering how interwoven we all are

Samantha leads the next prayer with the Bardo Thodol, in this she master class represents her best expressions in bringing alive translated words.

New Episode Of The Descent!!!

Traveler Thank you for stopping by as we continue to focus of the plain speech of what these invisible states of being are. As we keep it simple and stay close to shore we continue to read Section Four of the Bardo Thodol. This week the text focuses on the conscious state of mind and ways for that to be described. Tal end this week on A rant about the importance of teachers and guides when dealing with state of being that are so personal to an individual. The concept of individual agency and individual journey is reflected in how meditation can be so much more than sitting in full lotus position under a fig tree. Music is credited to BAMF

Hello there Traveler, wandering the desert ascending from low to high searching for quiet in the loud. While on this descent into illumination and as the path gets hard we marvel in the power of the old masters, who took turns splitting the fabric of reality apart turning the night sky into the chariot of the light bringer quoting Vedic texts. While the old masters that brought us to this point delivered to us the ability to exterminate the night and dark forever, a dream built on the saying the ends justify the means. But in all gifts and challenges left to us by these old giants does that brings us truth and comfort? So far from the journey the only thing that has helped bring us closer to that utopia is but the color and light of humans simply expressing themselves, being genuine and pursuit on a path of healthy expression, compassion, joy, celebration, and love. We forgot somewhere along the way that we don’t need to exterminate the darkest parts of the night, sometimes you need to turn off the lights to be reminded that the most mundane things can scream with the most divine beauty and colorful expression. We don’t need to build systems around surviving and us vs other world when all life is is celebrating the colors that bring forward to help us grow.

Traveler, the path has taken us to liminal bounds of transitional planes. We find ourselves at the precipice of change whether we like it or not and the beings we are reading these prayers to are fighting so strong to figure out their transition between worlds. As we read The Generation of an Altruistic Intention from the Bardo Thodol we are reminded that the path is one of compassion, while searching for that grand master from the supreme assembly all we ever needed was the friends we made along the journey.

Hey there traveler I’m out of spoons, but today was amazing. It was a chance to celebrate the light and color of a beautiful soul and someone I’m lucky enough to have to light up the starry nights with. Happy birthday pretty lady, the colors you bring into this world are one of a kind and dam I’m lucky to see them #vaporwaves #glitchart #glitchartistscollective #birthdaygirl #familyvacation #badart @courtneyjean__ @danithelostgirl (at Pastel de flores - torty artystyczne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJNEeWOGuL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh what a day to be in this plane of evistence, following the setting sun from east to west we celebrate the only passage of time that matters, a celebration of life and job bonding in queer partnerships and communities.

Traveler oh holy cow traveler what a cause for celebration, an Egyptian goddess sheds her skin anew in these cold winter months, but a fellow two legged Walker has larger cause for celebration. It is in this moment I am grateful their light has continued to bless this earth for 8 years after such a dark moment alone. #recoveryispossible #suicideawarness #badart #vaporwave #glitchmafia #glitchartistscollective #sharpie #doodle (at Still at Your Mom's House! ;)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCnuXMpUKI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
