In Jyotish, one of the ways of analyzing planets in a chart is whether they are "Awake," "Sleeping" or "Dreaming." I agree that it would be worthwhile to delve more into what each of these states are and attempt to understand them better. Of course, we are at a disadvantage from our everyday "waking" state. I wonder how many of us have had moments of actual waking? It seems to all be dreams within dreams within dreams....as portrayed in the movie Inception, which actually terrified me in a similar way that Black Mirror did (what I could watch of it).
So appreciated the photos, the composition and detail. There is a sense of invitation to spend time with each one, so unlike the onslaught of online images. Thanks Eric for continuing support through your writings on saying present, it’s so easy to drift away.
“Yet on the most personal level, we can, if we want, awaken to the times in which we’re alive, who we are now in this context, and to the creative potential of our existence.”
:) 81 degrees today! I am able to center myself on my pottery wheel! :)
The pictures were a wonderful analog compliment to the article, Eric. I hope now that you have re-discovered that lens, you may give it another spin so we can see what tidbits of beauty you witness in your world.
I appreciate that Eris has a “bloodthirsty” aspect. If we were to consider her outside of the Trojan war, what’s left? But consider for example the sort of discord she sowed was vanity and jealousy. Should we see her as causing these aspects or as someone who brings them to our attention?
