Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.
— St. Hildegard of Bingen
@bluewmist This resonates deeply. You can live a shorter but more meaningful life instead of a superficially longer life focused on the mere aesthetics and social expectations and silly distractions. It's good to be vital but stop worrying about what doesn't truly fit for you.
So what happens when you remove every contrast? Every separation? Does reality still exist? Or does it disappear? Here's the uncomfortable truth. The difference between nothing and everything is an illusion. The second you start to grasp that everything falls apart.
Take a blank page. Pure emptiness. No lines. No marks. Just open space. Now draw a single line. Suddenly it's no longer nothing. That one stroke defines the page, carves meaning out of the void.
Keep adding more shapes, patterns, details, and it begins to take form. But push too far and the image disappears. Overload the page with too much detail and it turns into chaos. Nothing has turned into everything and everything has collapsed back into nothing.
Now here's where it breaks your reality. This isn't just about a page. This is how reality works. The more you add thoughts, distractions, beliefs, the more you lose clarity.
The world bombards you with noise to keep you from realizing a truth that would change everything. Real power comes from what you remove, not what you add.
@leahprime 7 planets align today. Solar maximum is at its peak for a few years too. Lots of space weather is affecting our planet from the sun and beyond.
