In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.
god i fucking love people like right now someone is kissing their baby on the forehead for the first time and someone just went into a french bakery and is deeply inhaling and someone is dyeing their hair the color of the sky and someone just confessed their love to someone and you’re reading this post but you are alive and you will be okay and you will be happy
We need to understand our world, and to make sense of the chaos we give everything names, rules, confines, and masks. Often we believe those definitions to exist as a binary: male and female, good and evil, positive and negative. We forget that those extremes are rare, and that most of reality dwells in a vast grey area.
The Moon rules such chaotic places; it is illusionary, shifting, and undefinable. We can wear many contradicting masks, and each one can be as true to ourselves as the next. The ability to see past those contradictions, to know that there is really no difference between dreams and reality except for the words we give to those experiences, gives birth to creativity, madness, and all the strangeness of a moonlit world.
If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer, a wisher
A hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer
Com’ sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!
~ Shel Silverstein

When distress or fear is dissolved back to its original source or universal consciousness, its energy is released and becomes available to be used in renewed and creative ways. ٠•●ૐ●•٠·
I am Shakti, as well as Shiva. I am everything male and female, light and dark, flesh and spirit. Perfectly balanced in one single moment lasting an eternity…
We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.
