FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

If you’re lucky enough to be at the IKEA parking lot on a Friday night in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (yes, I am having a wild night) then you will witness this.

As usual my pic taking is nothing compared to the brilliant moon strangely fragmented by wafting clouds.

“If you want the moon,
do not hide from the night.

If you want a rise,
do not hide from its thorns.

If you want love,
Do not hide from yourself.

Friday night Mic check in Canada

What's everyone watching?

I'm watching everyone's favourite comfort movie, Hallmark's "Christmas at Holly Lodge!"

You? Anything else on?

"Be humble.

It's a cornerstone of growth."

This is one moment much of humanity learned far more exists than simply ourselves. Reality instantly changed.

"Earthrise" showed Earth peeking out from beyond the lunar surface.

Discipline is a function of the intellect. The subtle intellect rules the mind. But it is like a muscle: it must be developed.

Self knowledge-to know what it means to be fully human-develops the intellect.

Harness discipline and develop the intellect (distinct from mind)

Amazing grace

May this scene, these moments, still the mind.

And if it does, remember it so you may return when the mind acts out again (if you’re like most, that should be in a few seconds!)

“The Creator did not make a mistake when making you.”

So many harbour self doubt-and worse.

The study and practice of self knowledge helps to dissolve that false identity. Doubt is like an eclipse: your powerful Light is just behind unconscious patterns.

Dissolve them.

~The real climb~

To ascend a steep mountain first requires a steep descent into the knowledge arising from one’s self.

The map required for both the descent and ascent is self knowledge: to know what it means to be fully human.

The view from here.

A consequence of unconscious pursuit of indiscriminate desires. And an unconscious value towards our own well being.

As within, so without.

May we learn illumined by the light of self knowledge rather than the fire at our heels.

Likely the friendliest guard dog protects Canada’s east coast from … not sure exactly, but a great, loving dog nonetheless.

Bon fin de la semaine!
