In the same way, the good can only shine if the evil is shattered,
and the beautiful can only grace our senses if the ugly is recognized as inherently empty.

The evil is naturally aggressive.
It's an absence of Goodness.

The dumb is naturally loud.
It's an absence of Wisdom.

The ugly is naturally glaring.
It's the absence of Shaped-ness.

Get your hammer and chisel ready.
The stone must be hewn.

Build your fortress and ready your swords.
That which you drive out will return sevenfold.

Prepare to fight.

"In India the guru of the Seven Tathagatas, Manjushri holds upwards the Sword of wisdom which completely severs the Enemy(Ignorance). In other words, there is absolutely no sentient being that cannot be reached by that blade. The one who begins to study the martial conduct, if he is solely and wholeheartedly devoted to the worthy deva Arya Marici, he becomes capable of accomplishing mysterious proficiencies."

There is not yet strength-in-numbers when it comes to enlightened leaders who possess the mind that goes through crises unscathed; fortified, even.
What they have is strength-in-quality.

We're in the generation stage of that new kind of human - a demographic who hold the most precious of motivations and who are developing exceptional powers of both supreme and mundane nature. They're the ones with the potential ability to actually turn the tables. That's by far not a majority, and it might remain this way for a while.

It is necessary to spread awareness of what's wrong with the system and how to make it right by using whatever strength-in-numbers we have available. Because when any one of our people actually ends up in a power position, they will need all the support they can get. Spread ideas, share thoughts, refine understanding, build the potential for change.

But don't expect it. Don't force it. Let it happen when it will.

The strength-in-numbers alone is not what will shift the current system. While that has its own interdependent role in large scale, eon term developments, majority votes are seldom what gets results, and you know it. Majority action does.

The aim is to find those who are naturally built different, and teach them to be untouchable. They'll be the ones both surfing the system and flying under the radar, and then gradually climbing the ladder to a secret - sacred - place. All that is so much less flashy than what "we're back" sounds like.
It's an extremely quiet process.

We can only learn to live through crises by means of living through crises.

Those who persist are more likely to keep persisting.

Those who have potential and decide not to sink their teeth into living well for both Self and Other need some tough love.

Facing war, facing destruction of homeland and housing, facing the death of their children, facing neverending hard work for many hungry mouths, they lived with force, and loved with force.
Nothing but unwavering tenacity kept them, their families and laborers alive.

Like granite, their character turned tough. They quite literally surrendered their lives to the lives of the generations to come and managed to keep the eternal flame of motherly compassion alight throughout, behind their earnest exterior, until the very end.

Their names were rubies.
Their hands were iron.
Their voices were amber.
Their minds were diamonds.
Their hearts were gold.

May we take after them in willpower.
May we blend that power of will with the insights of our time to assert it skillfully.
May we thus attain the wisdom of doing what is necessary while also being mindful of our own resources.
May we develop the transformative art of relaxing into the crashing waves of hardship.
May we show conduct worthy of the crown of feminine pride, and live in honor with energic determination.

Each fire must eventually go out.
The beauty of that end is in the smoke twirling in the air.

Once risen, it must soon fade again, into the great ocean of perfect dissolution, maximum entropy.

Return to the source.

Remember the suffering and death of Christ.

May His immesurable merit ripen upon us and upon all beings.
By his example, may we learn humility and grace.

What is Truth?
And where do we find it?

"Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

I prostrate to the holy and terrible mysteries of Christus Victor, the King of Sorrowless Light.

Whatever Form appears one moment ceases the next - just as it has risen, it takes death into the primordial perfect entropic blend of the Unspeakable - for the sake of the Form that follows. The transition is gradual, like a continuously forward-rolling wave of ripe and ruin, free of any distinction between states, free of extreme expression, without beginning and end.

Like waves, breath naturally flows freely; the inseparable consecutive ins and outs turn like the tides.

Like waves, graceful movement rises from balanced physical engagement; well co-ordinated dynamic muscle tone can open the floodgates to the river that is fed by the eternally bubbling wellspring.

Like waves, Life after Life passes by the Eye of Consciousness.

Look at your experience of Self.
Look at the pieces shifting.
Look at their piece-ness.
Look at the whole appearing.
Look at its whole-ness.

Is it all not constantly

Floating - Swaying - Streaming -
Meandering - Swirling -
Bubbling - Rushing - Crashing -

subject to change?
