I made this print by using an old archaic photographic tecnique called cyanotype (or sun/blue print) for the phylosophical and mystical poem by Szilárd Borbély, the The Sequence of Three Secrets (A Három Titok Szekvenciája), which is a part of his series called Hasidic Sequences, where he reflects on Hasidic teachings and beliefs in literary form.

You can purchase this original and only one, signed copy through my Etsy if you like it.

Here's my english translation of the poem, below there is the hungarian original.

Taub Eizik from Kalev, a pupil of the Seer of Lublin said that there are three types of secrets in the world. One is is like this Self-Consciousness, which

that everyone carries within himself because of their previous lives. And have no idea what it is. And don't understand why hide it from others, because it is

hidden from itself too until he dies again. The second secret, is like a light hiding in the mind, nesting in the depths of the skull

until it knows the essence of speech: in the letters of writing the faint glimmer of the primordial light that has come to us from the beginning of creation

that gleams in the depths of life. When the Self begins to read a book written in human language, Finally, the third secret is that of the

one who says: I. While he sorts the stones at the beginning of the path waiting for you, already prepared the unturned stones by the entrance gate

and then reads the engraved for the greatest secret is the stone that only means the Self. And it does not say, Amen.

Formal education teaches how to stand, but to see the rainbow you must come out and walk many steps on your own.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciples. A noble artist, he has visions of excellence and revelations of beauty, which he has neither impersonated in character, nor embodied in words. His life and teachings are but studies for yet nobler ideals.

Amos Bronson Alcott

Spirit feels, ego thinks.

How could feelings ever be

wrong when they were

meant to be felt?

I want to ask you a question if it's ok to you,good sir. Your lessons on herbs cover only that or you can also expand the topic and include other plants? I will be straigtforward,I want to write a story and I want to add some symbolism to hydrangea.

it depends on what emotion or feeling you’re trying to convey in your story; there are many different interpretations of what hydrangeas may symbolise - nowadays, it mostly depends on the colour of them

• pink hydrangeas symbolise love and are often associated with a beating heart

• blue hydrangeas are associated with forgiveness and sincerity but they also symbolise rejection and regret

• white hydrangeas represent purity and abundance and are often gifted to parents of newborns

(ooc: here’s the link to the site where i got this information from, have fun with writing your story anon ! :>)

THE ORPHIC EGG. From Bryant's An Analysis of Ancient Mythology. The ancient symbol of the Orphic Mysteries was the serpent-entwined egg, which signified Cosmos as encircled by the fiery Creative Spirit. The egg also represents the soul of the philosopher; the serpent, the Mysteries. At the time of initiation the shell is broke. and man emerges from the embryonic state of physical existence wherein he had remained through the fetal period of philosophic regeneration.

I'm not a Christian but I believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Love: Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is to love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself.

Forgiveness: He emphasized the importance of forgiving others, even enemies, and receiving forgiveness from God.

Compassion and Service: Jesus showed compassion for the poor, sick, and marginalized, and encouraged his followers to serve others.

Kingdom of God: Jesus spoke frequently about the Kingdom of God, a realm of God's rule and righteousness, and encouraged people to seek it first.

Faith and Repentance: He stressed the importance of having faith in God and repenting from sin.

Humility: Jesus taught humility and discouraged pride and hypocrisy.

Living a Life of Purpose: Jesus taught that people should live a life of purpose, serving God and others.

And let's not forget about loving your neighbor as you do yourself and to judge not lest you be judged yourself!

Daddy what to do if i feel really lonely and no one ever wants me

This is one of the harsh realities of life that most of us are usually unprepared for… There will be moments when you feel lonely or unwanted. The important thing is to realize that such things are to be expected — this is what we sign up for when we embark on the journey of living 🖤

I understand that it may be hard to accept fully, but learning how to be alone at times is one of the most important lessons life can give us. In the end, such feelings are temporary, and I want you to know that they will pass :)

No matter who you are, dear Anon, you are not unwanted, and there are people who love you and care about you so much, even if it takes time for them to show up. In that case, you will have to show patience and great care, for times of loneliness often coincide with being most vulnerable.

Goes without saying that my DMs are open if you ever need some company <3

Bitches when I'm catholic and queer (Christian belief is a spectrum and in the bible, jesus tells us that you cannot put new wine into an old sack, meaning you cannot teach a modern day Christian the same way we taught old Christians. We must instead adapt with times as to how we think God would want us to act. Furthermore, the pope has called on catholics to love the queer community as their neighbour)
