We ate the food, we drank the wine —
everybody having a good time…

You miss too much these days
if you stop to think.

Picture of the Day: from the Voyager Tarot - XII Hanged Man December 12, 2007

because an image speaks volumes in an instant.

(click on image to see full-size)

The upside-down Hanged Man symbolizes the law of
reversal. As in the crucifixion of Christ, victory and success
are achieved in a manner opposite from any expected.
Instead of assertive movement and forceful resistance,
salvation is attained through passive surrender.

When feeling hung up, encircled, netted, and walled in,
wait it out. Assume a holding pattern. You are in suspense,
a limbo that demands you tread water.
Acceptance of your limitations brings expansion.

The octopus tentacles signify that you are under
constrictive influences beyond your control.
Surrender your ego. The feeling that you are drowning and
being dragged to the depths is the “dark night of the soul,”
the preparatory stage for rebirth and new life.

The Hanged Man is also symbolic of compassionate
self-sacrifice. Like Christ, giving yourself up for the good
of others enables you to transcend the ego and achieve
union with the great spirit of the Universe.

Quote of the Day: from Jane Hirshfield December 6, 2007

Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Spirituality, Philosophy, Quote of the Day, Web Resources , add a comment

because i couldn’t have said it better myself.

Everything I think about the nature of this life
comes down to seven words:

Everything is connected;
everything changes;
pay attention.

And really, you only need the last two — if you’re paying attention, you’ll find out whatever else
you need to know.

~ Jane Hirshfield

Picture of the Day: from the Voyager Tarot - V Hierophant December 5, 2007

Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Spirituality, Philosophy, Picture of the Day , add a comment

because an image speaks volumes in an instant.

(click on image to see full-size)

The Hierophant symbolizes the law of life mastery.
You are like a child learning through the tests of life,
and growing through experience into Buddhahood —
full enlightenment.

The Buddha’s bare feet on the ground symbolize that
the path to enlightenment is through the lessons
of this earthly plane. Like the flower which grows
out of the compost, it is out of the garbage of life —
the storms, rifts, and valleys — that you flower.

Like the Buddha, you are a sage who has already
mastered many tests. You are a guiding hand,
a teacher of others. Like the elephant, you can clear
the way for others. You are an enlightener like Venus,
the morning and evening star.
Listen to your inner voice of experience,
which is symbolized by the Buddha’s ears…
