#Spiritual illumination

[turiyatitta]

Dark Nights, Bright Lights 

The term dark night of the soul evokes images of struggle, confusion, and a seeming absence of light. Yet, this darkness can often serve as a powerful portal, guiding one to a level of spiritual illumination unreachable by any other path. Many consider it a crucible of transformation, an intense phase in which the familiar sense of self collapses, leaving one in a space of profound unknowing. Out…

I do think you should understand that simply being outdoors and feeling the outdoors aren’t one in the same. You can stand outside and freeze your bones off and you won’t achieve anything, but also could stand outside in the freezing snow in nothing but a T-shirt and feel the cold like a running warmth around your mind - welcoming you to its home and taking you in as itself. there’s nothing inherently wrong with being unable to feel that second one at first, and you might even struggle to be able to find a way to tune into such a state, but it will come. Some time, some where. Even I at times don’t always get the desired effect! I can cry from the beauty of existing one moment then in 3 minutes complain about the biting chills. one moment - wether it be an hour or a second or a day, feel welcoming and happy— the other, indifferent and bored. And that’s all alright!

The Bardic Tradition

I made a long thread explaining in detail all the symbolism in this piece when I first posted it. That's lost to time now, thanks Elon. I'll try to rewrite it to the best of my ability in an abridged form.

The basic gist is that its a visual representation of the ancient Gaelic bardic tradition. Seated in the center is St. Colmcille, composing an old Irish hymn to St. Brigid, "Brigit bé bithmaith". He is holding hazel nuts, symbols of knowledge / inspiration in Irish legend. On the two pillars on either side of him are King David (left) and Orpheus (right), two famous poets from antiquity. Two legendary poets from Irish legend, Oisín and Amergin, are situated above each pillar respectively. The two fish are seen swimming "upstream" (as in the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge) toward a sheela na gig, a architectural feature / grotesque of early Irish churches which some consider to be symbols of femininity, meant to ward off evil. At the top of the image, hands from a cloud (representing God) release a white dove (representing the Holy Spirit) down to St. Brigid. She owes her angelic appearance to her being considered both a pagan goddess and Christian saint. She is guarding a flame, which symbolises poetic inspiration, and which can be seen floating above the heads of all the other figures.

In alchemy, squaring the circle holds profound symbolic meaning and is deeply connected to the alchemist’s quest for spiritual transformation, enlightenment, and the ultimate creation of the Philosopher’s Stone. This symbol is often depicted as a geometrical construct, combining the circle, square, and sometimes the triangle, representing the journey toward achieving balance and unity between opposing forces.

The alchemical process is about reconciling opposites and bringing harmony to forces that seem contradictory, much like the union of the physical and spiritual realms. The circle often symbolizes the infinite, the spiritual, and the cosmic order—it represents the divine, eternity, and wholeness. The square, on the other hand, symbolizes the finite, the material, and the earthly—the physical reality, stability, and the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water).

Squaring the circle in alchemical terms represents the integration of the material and spiritual, the finite and infinite, or the human soul's transformation from a base state to a higher state of existence, where the lower and higher natures are reconciled.

*Chanelled Message*

🪽Day 1: What is your core value? Lead with that

At times in your life you'll be presented with the choice to go back to your old ways or stick to your new resolve. Often we fail to become the person we want to be because we lack clarity in our vision and certainty in our beliefs. In times of confusion, try to go inwards and find what your core value is. Mine is kindness. Try to lead with that core value, for others and more importantly for yourself. You might fail a hundred times, but on 101 time, you will find it in yourself to honour your own path. Always with love xx

Hopefully your day is graced with happiness and peace. If this message resonated consider liking, reblogging and following. If you want to book a private reading or tip me, please feel free to reach out. Every bit helps me grow this community and support myself!

See you around, sparkly soul 🤍

I SWEAR TO FUCKCKING ANJSJDNSJBXBTHE DIVINE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME ASPECT OF BEING HUMAN AND YET CRYPTIC BEFORE IN THE SENSE OF THE ILLUSTRATED SONG “HARPY HARE”, WHERE THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SO CLEARLY REPRESENTING A CONCEPT OR CREATURE THEY ARENT EXACTLY IN THE BODY OF AND YET ARE TOTALLY RHE SAID CREATURE.

LIKE, AHHCJCK IT WAS A FLICKWRING MEMMORY BUT I CAN TELL. I CAN TELL THAT SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BE PEOPLE AND YET ARE ANIMALS OR BEINGS OF ANOTHER FORM AT HEART HOLD A MUCH DEEPER GALACTICAL DEFINITION TO EXISTENCE.. LIKEznxnxjnzjskkbxkxbd

therians were always meant to exist, and people bonding over such a concept existed far earlier than the 2000s. Far far far earlier. I can litterally remember but I can’t CANT CANT FUCKING DESCRIBE IT.

Tell me you get it, right?
