The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

This article will be short, I need to take off for a few days during this wonderful Venus retrograde. We just hit the midpoint on August 13th when Venus will initiate the journey back to being a night star.
For me, this 42-day period has been and still is a chance to reflect and dive into the depths of my being. It's an opportunity to uncover the hidden treasures that define my uniqueness and creativity, allowing me to integrate them more fully.
I find myself in a profound connection with something genuinely invaluable to me: my freedom. Every facet of it, from the tangible to the intangible, the purpose of my creative expression gives me an incredible amount of joy, even when times are challenging.
The upcoming New Moon in Leo is intended to emphasize Venus' journey through an awareness of the capacities we hold as individuals to create a unique journey of creative expression, yielding and igniting inner radiance.
Between paragraphs and quotes, there are bits and pieces, connected and disconnected, making sense or not. This sense-making belongs to the eye of the beholder, for the aim of these writings is purely a reflective, personal inner dialogue that I happen to be willing to share.
Prior to the emergence of something new that could evolve into significance, a juxtaposition is often crafted.
Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change but in the dialectic between the two.
~Octavio Paz
Dialectics or Polemics?
Within the realm of metamorphosis, a captivating interplay unfolds—where juxtaposition, dialectic interrelationships, and clashes of perspectives meet. This convergence fuels the pursuit of harmonious integration, delicately attuned to the nuances of time and space.
Evolution is influenced by the environment in which it takes place. Organisms need to adapt to their surroundings and find ways to integrate new traits or structures in a way that suits the demands of their environment. These principles encapsulate the essence of epigenetics.
When humans attune themselves to the frequency or vibration of their surroundings, the evolving outcome might encompass qualities of heightened awareness.
This state of being extends to how we interact with ourselves and those nearby, as their presence can shape our behaviors and responses. We could engage in polemics, or decide on civilized ways to diverge and explore a variety of outcomes without having to unload the weapons.
In ancient Greek times, the crafts of rhetoric and polemics were used to convince audiences and dismantle opposing arguments.
-Can we as individuals immerse ourselves in the practice of dialectics, attentively embracing a range of perspectives and nurturing an environment for open dialogue?
This pathway has the potential to spark innovation, catalyzing a transformative shift that results in a harmonious realignment of all life forms.
Open emergent space gives way to creation. The Sun is our light, without its life force, we cease to be. Thus, I dedicate myself to honoring its rhythmic journey, synchronizing my inner time with the changing seasons. I enjoy Venus’remaining time in the underworld seeking a reconnection and brand new relationship to my essence, a preparation for whatever humanity requires of me as a human being, all for the greater good.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace
~Ecclesiastes
When it comes to engaging in systematic reasoning, exposition, and argumentation, it takes skill to effectively bring together divergent or conflicting concepts. The goal is to find harmony amidst discord, and this is achieved through the careful exploration and analysis of opposing ideas. Ultimately, the pursuit of truth and resolution is what drives this method of discourse.
~ANAR-Key, [my collection of Chatbots] 3rd revised version.
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world, the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
~Bertrand Russell

Sacred space is the earthly image of the Cosmos
Our experience of time is not linear but rather a continuous flow of duration.
Our feelings and sensations are intimately connected to this durational experience.
~Henri Bergson
“All our sense organs function in response to the geometrical or proportional– not quantitative– differences inherent in the stimuli they receive. For example, when we smell a rose, we are not responding to the chemical substances of its perfume, but instead to the geometry of its molecular construction. That is to say, any chemical substance that is bonded together in the same geometry as that of the rose will smell as sweet.”
~Robert Lawlor from ‘Sacred Geometry’
The traditional esoteric worldview divides the universe into seven levels of being. The lowest is physical matter, the foundation of all activities and of all the changes we perceive with our senses. It is the level at which the resonance of material entities (including musical instruments) to the descending current of power released by a creative will-emanating source becomes audible as a tone — that is, as the complex vibration of the material body or vocal organ.
~Dane Rudhyar
“So it’s not a problem of getting people to express themselves but of providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don’t stop people expressing themselves but rather force them to express themselves; What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, and ever rarer, thing that might be worth saying.” ― Gilles Deleuze, Negotiations 1972-1990
Processes don’t resolve into things.
In the realm of dialectical practices, the interplay between opposing concepts uncovers wisdom that isn't confined to fixity or change but thrives in their dynamic equilibrium.
Engaging in systematic reasoning demands adeptness, a willingness to compromise, and curiosity to harmonize conflicting ideas, thereby discovering unity amidst divergence.
The continuous flow of time and our feelings' connection to it create a unique experiential reality. Certainty and doubt coexist in the pursuit of knowledge, where beliefs are questioned and experiences valued.
Our senses respond to geometric proportions in stimuli, influencing our perception. The concept of law goes beyond mere knowledge, affecting us through action and consequence. To trust ourselves requires an emptiness of ideas and surrender to natural law.
Material resonance mirrors the creative will illustrating the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible. Through these diverse perspectives, a richer understanding of reality, discourse, and existence emerges.
-Are you ready for the emotional space where you are called to be your most sovereign being and serve humanity as such?
