"It is the contrast of pain and joy that tends to shock the dreaming consciousness into wakefulness." —Franklin Merrell-Wolff

“Onto-aesthetic ethical epistemology: the distinctions we've made between relationships with reality are useful, and yet there's a way in which there's a deeper register that precedes their distinguishability.” #JordanHall #duhbutlovethisframing

“Beauty is perfectly capable of defending Herself in the domain of ugliness.” #JordanHall

“The soul feels her solitude to the core. Neither creature nor heavenly being is the One she loves. She can neither find her footing on earth nor ascend to heaven. Her thirst is a fire, but she cannot reach the water. Oh Beloved, how you torment your lovers!” #TeresaOfAvila

“Rainbows are the charismatic megafauna of wonder.” #RobertMacfarlane

“The Realized Man will be enabled to tie together parts that formerly had seemed irreconcilable. He stands outside and above the ‘game,’ as it were, and so is enabled to play with a master's hand.” #FranklinMerrellWolff

“If pain becomes immeasurable, it ends itself or ends that in which it manifests, or, in rare circumstances, it may turn into an ecstasy of Bliss.” #SriAurobindo #YesPlease

[Sublimaesthesia @sublimaesthesia]

“The psychic being may become aware of its eternal Companion and elect to live for ever in His presence in an imperishable union and oneness as the eternal lover with the eternal Beloved, which of all spiritual experiences is the most intense in beauty and rapture.” #SriAurobindo

When the grounded-in-mystical-knowledge reaction you're aware you should be having runs up against your biotoxic-brain-damage dearth of able-to-even-have-that-reaction neurotransmitters, it all goes to shit. #cirs

“The power of genius is a partial Ray descending out of the grand Sun of Cosmic Wisdom, and It drives the men It engulfs like passive instruments. But the Man who has penetrated to the core of Recognition moves consciously and in command.” #FranklinMerrellWolff

[Sublimaesthesia @sublimaesthesia]

“The Grand Formless Thought is Pure Significance packed tight. Stripped neutrons in close consolidation. So there are DEEPS beyond Deeps beyond deeps, and, on the surface, this little culture of egoistic man to which he clings like a beggar to a crust.” #FranklinMerrellWolff

[Sublimaesthesia @sublimaesthesia]

“The penetration from Above into our mental limits results in the phenomena of genius. But in entering the mind the Original Divine Luminosity subdues and adapts Itself to mind substance so that only a diminished dynamis reaches us.” #SriAurobindo #TheLifeDivine

Moving through the monotony of evil- and incompetence-filled days, I've found that, finally, every last vestige of curiosity or care has left me to the ever-creeping fog of listlessness.

“The words of the poet who is Awakened to the Cosmic or Transcendent become threads by which the intuitive consciousness may be stirred to a Recognition of an inexpressible Reality.” #FranklinMerrellWolff

“For no reason
I turn into a leaf
That is carried so high
I kiss the Sun’s mouth
And dissolve . . .
When I turn into a leaf
And start dancing,
I run to kiss our beautiful Friend
And I dissolve in the Truth
That I Am.”
#Hafiz (trans. Daniel Ladinsky)

@timmatmusic I wonder, does it touch on the dramatic uptick in industrial toxins released into our living environments and the biotoxin petri dish home building practices that came from "modern capitalism"? Another vital piece. https://t.co/6Hbj5mWW7O

“You gotta build that competence of being in relationship with the actual Infinite, which is specifically here to guide you for capital-P Purposes through complex reality.” #JordanHall Aurobindo-ing it, and it'd be nice to go all Mando 'this is the way', but, still team FMW.

@timmatmusic Lol, if only it were so obvious to all, eh? He said this upon being asked if he believes in God, and his full answer is everything I wish I had the wisdom and articulation to express when asked variations on that same question. Worthy of your time: https://t.co/RIm6xKJ90I

“You can have an outside-of-semiotics experience of a kind of wordless Knowing in a connection to Wholeness, but you don't then try to reduce it to propositions about the world.” #DanielSchmachtenberger
