EYES WITHIN


see the eyes within

the many creatures lurking

within the belly


inside the belly is our core center, our hara, and our "gut intelligence" made of many micro-organisms...some are friendly creatures (good bacteria like in sauerkraut and probiotic products) and unfriendly creatures (harmful bacteria from animal flesh and dairy products)...the creatures are all looking and lurking, waiting to be fed and to feast...we need to feed the good creatures that support our well being and starve out the other ones.


the practice is a hard one for most...it involves aligning one's diet with optimal well-being and health, to be compassionate and kind to our body...nutritionally, this translates into a plant-based diet supplemented with vitamin B-12 (the only vitamin we can't get from plants--B-12 is a bacteria from the soil that is artificially added to many products...one can get enough B-12 from commercial nut milk for instance)...conduct a search using your favorite browser or artificial intelligence software and ask for a plant-based or vegan menu for one week--follow it the best you can and ask yourself after each meal, at the end of each day, and at the end of the week...how does your BODY FEEL in the belly?

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...
