A BREATH OF LIFE (book review)

clarice lispector

OK! the best explanation for this book is that it gives you the experience of being a writer, of understanding the process of how creation works. I felt something spiritual in Clarice's writing as if she were a medium, taking information from space and putting it together and also made me feel so close to both of them (the characters) as if I were the third or fourth person in this story, an observer and not a reader. 3.8/5 ⭐️

A Sufi master once said: “A Sufi is one who breathes well.” (Pir Zia Inayat Khan) Breath is a bridge to the divine and a path to enlightenment. The art of breathing is also linked to healing.

“When we breathe deeply and consciously, we enter into a state of unity with the divine. This connection opens our hearts to the beauty of creation, reminding us that we are not separate but part of a greater whole, woven together by the breath of life.”

~ Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz, "The Healing Breath: A Sufi Approach to Integrating Body and Spirit" (2000)

“Breathing is not merely an act of living but an art of connecting to the life force that dances quietly within the core of our being, offering solace that is both ancient and ever-new.”

Yahweh is originally spelled in Hebrew as YHWH. It’s pronounced in two syllables, Yah-Weh. The first syllable sounds like taking a breath in and the second releasing the breathe out.

In Resurrection Christ became the Spirit for us to Receive Him as the Holy Breath!

 Hallelujah, in His resurrection Christ became the Spirit for us to receive Him as the holy breath simply by calling on His name day by day! God’s intention is to gain a corporate God-man for His corporate manifestation in this universe; what He desires is not a good man but a God-man, a man of God with the breath of God, and for this, He became the Spirit to breathe Himself into us to be our…

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

Linktober Day 14, akkala skyview tower!

Part of the duo’s jobs as Purah’s interns are to help with the remapping project of Hyrule after the Upheaval. Link’s the only little man sturdy enough to WANT to be flung out of a modified human canon attached to a cable, I think. (Introducing part of the research team! We have Jerrin, a hylian-sheikah researcher; bilson, a rito bolson employee; and truckson, a tarry town goron.)

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one
