Wow, I am so deeply grateful to have come across this post and your blog. I resonate with your words and appreciate your truthful expressions. Sending peaceful thoughts to evoke moments of blissful existence:) Thank you for being a part of such a beautiful creation.
I have so many thoughts, it's hard to organize them, because you've shared so much truth in one place. For now, I will sit with them.
On the symbol you shared--it is the unity of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine. It is The Buddha, The Christ, in symbolic form. Something we are all here to accomplish.
I am going to recommend you on my page. You've made a reader out of me, and I know more people who will appreciate your work as I do.
The symbol is from Crowley's tarot. The thing with Aleister Crowley is that he never set well with me- even thou I think his set is awesome. Looking into his book of Thoth I could never fit his understanding of the tree of life to mine. For many years, every time I tried to cross info between sources there was mismatch. How can I learn anything this way? How can anybody?
I am looking forward to reading what you write about the subject.
I am not personally too interested in the Crowley material, but I can tell you that symbol is not exclusive to him. I have seen it elsewhere, and it's been a big theme in my meditation recently. That said, I'm curious about his deck, I'll have to look it up.
But the Tree of Life... That's a fun one! I think of it as the spine + brain :) And I'd love to hear your interpretation.
I think we can all pick up tidbits of learning from anything and everything as we increase our overall awareness. Everyone's a student and a teacher at the same time. Its as if synchronicity is always happening, and the more aware we become, the more we notice how deeply we are constantly surrounded by it. But we have to be open to seeing it anywhere and everywhere. Even in the dark.
I'm sure Crowley has some things here and there which are useful. But he definitely speaks to a darker camp from what I understand.
Either way, I'm glad we are now connected. Looking forward to your next piece.
It’s interesting that you specifically wrote about “the first seven years of life” being the experience of the imprint of our past selves/experiences/ancestry. I was speaking to a friend yesterday and she spoke about reading the journal of her seven year old self. She saw a major shift in the way she wrote just before she turned eight.
All of a sudden she was obsessed with her past, she was absorbed with her memory and experiences. She went from a mostly free-spirited little girl, engaged with the fantastical nature of life, to a contracted, desperate seeker of understanding. Odd transition for a little girl, but I think it aligns with what you wrote about. Her soul began doing the hard work at that point, began wringing out understanding based on her physical experience (the condensed version of all reality).
So fascinating!
I’m currently going through the process of admitting the tough truth that I’ve continuously lied to myself that “I don’t know.” It felt safe to say I don’t know. It relinquished any pressures of responsibility. But, the thing is, I do know. As I spend more and more time centered, those lies become obvious. I know so much! About myself, the nature of this experience. I resonate with what you wrote in this because we share the same understanding/awareness, and yet we’ve lived completely different lives!
The cycle that your friend started was a big one because in a deeper (covered) layer she knew she is going towards unity and freedom- last cycle as a baby soul. So, there is a great deal of inner pressure to get to the finish line. Amazing.
"I don't know" is familiar to me from a different angle. When I first woke up, I fell victim into the hands of people who thought they knew- and I really didn't know much beside being... Then, I embraced the attitude of 'frek off' basically going back to the same attitude I had since I was eight years old. Eventually, I had to take a good look:)
Of course you know. You know everything there is to know but we are being so hard on ourselves from one hand, and from the other hand, it's not easy to find our own particular way to bring out the unique expression, bring it down as Eden, not as collective. At least for me it is. I started pushing the inspiration button on my meditations lol- this computer works, I tell ya.

Eden, this is beautiful.

Thank you Hue-Man, it means a lot.

Thank you Sophia for your heartfelt words.
It takes a beautiful being to recognize another alike.
