A Western Swastika:
A Beacon of New Beginning

By pursuing knowledge, truth, and compassion we can heal; freeing ourselves from ignorance, fear, and hatred.

But it wasn’t until I was enjoying a beautiful afternoon, planting a tree, listening to #EdgarCayce story, that all the pieces snapped into place and my mind grasped the ‘grand mosaic’ of life. It changed me. I had to make a tribute to the man in thanks.

James’ Dharmachakra ☸️
[Readymade Sculpture]

Dharma, the lord of social duty.

Eight spokes represent the elements of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path:
Right View
Right Effort
Right Action
Right Speech
Right Intention
Right Livelihood
Right Mindfulness
Right Concentration

Behind the Eight Ball 🎱

You’re in a difficult situation, your path is blocked and you find it hard to move forward.

It’s the same thing that holds all of us back - the fears & doubts we convince ourselves of.

No more fear. Fear is a liar.

The Hero’s Journey

‘You have to participate in the game. It’s a wonderful, wonderful opera. And it hurts. This is the way life gives, and the hero is the one who participates in it with decency. In a way of nature. Not in a way of rank or revenge or anything of the kind.’ -JC
