HOT SPOTS


the male and female

laying next to each other

3 red hot spots flame


some chemicals produce an explosion (gunpowder and a match), some meld together (water and food coloring), some don't mix well (oil and water)...similarly, male and female when combined can, as seen in the image, produce red hot spots that potentially flame...these hot spots can remain isolated or they can join...more broadly, within each of us, male and female energies arise, joining, fighting, or remain relatively independent, depending on how we attend and focus on them...ideally, the male and female energies combine, creating a new energy, birthing something that didn't exist before...this is the realm of creativity and imagination, and part of what makes life intriguing/exciting.


bring your attention to your breath...breath in comfortably and slowly from the belly, and breathe out comfortably and slowly...breathing in we receive the air (the air in nature being the male penetrating us)...we being the female womb for the air, drawing nourishment from the air for our life energy...breathing out we give back to nature...we being the male projecting the air from within back into nature (now nature is the womb that receives)...how many wonderous ways are there in imagining male and female aspects of self, relationships, nature, and the Divine? how might you learn to combine them to birth new life?

1 DOT starting with 1 dot coalesing they unite swirling in the 1 two senses of "1" are represented in the image...the 1 dot at the far left (the beginning, the one that starts it all...one idea, one person, one big bang) and the 1 at the far right (the end, the culmination, the combination of many 1's, the unification of the many into 1)...how is it that from the 1 comes the many...as a Taoist saying (paraphrased) expresses it...from the 1 come the 10,000 things. practice...take care what starting point (thought, belief, motivation) you begin with in any undertaking f or in it contains the seeds of everything else that follows...reflect on where your thoughts originate...work backwards, for fun, from the action to the seed thought that led to the action...try this backward investigation for several actions and several thoughts, and see if they lead back to the 1...this 1 has a powerful influence in your life.

2 CIRCLES from the 2 circles touching and overlapping reality births from the 2 comes the many, from male and female comes new life, from thesis and antithesis comes synthesis...the touching and overlap seems to facilitate new birth(s) at the intersection of the circles, the vortex, the vesica piscis, the mandorla (almond), the portal of new life... consider 2  vital ideas/parts of yourself...meditate on how the parts/ideas overlap, interrelate, connect...open...look/sense the portal of new life emerging...what implications does this have for being and doing?

FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...
