— exchanging understanding for close-mindedness —
« La vérité de cette vie, ce n'est pas qu'on meurt, mais qu'on meurt volé. »
― Le Sang noir, Louis Guilloux, 1935, éditions Gallimard
"In my experience, everyone will say they want to discover the Truth, right up until they realize that the Truth will rob them of their deepest held ideas, beliefs, hopes, and dreams. The freedom of enlightenment means much more than the experience of love and peace. It means discovering a Truth that will turn your view of self and life upside-down. For one who is truly ready, this will be unimaginably liberating. But for one who is still clinging in any way, this will be extremely challenging indeed. How does one know if they are ready? One is ready when they are willing to be absolutely consumed when they are willing to be fuel for a fire without end."
― आद्य शान्तिः Ādya śāntiḥ "primordial peace" born Stephen Gray
Stephen Gray — crowned grey — was born on October 26, 1962, in 壬寅虎年, the Year of the Water Tiger, as the calming influence of 壬—水 (water) the ninth of the ten heavenly stems — the Water Element gives the Water Tiger this unique burst of empathy and social perceptiveness that other members of the Tiger sign do not share.
While those born under the Tiger sign usually have a close-mindedness disposition, the Water Tiger exchanges understanding for unsociableness. Similarly, the Water Tiger has a very strong concern for the well-being of others. Out of all the Tiger signs, the Water Tiger shows the greatest concern for family members and friends, which in turn may make them the most well-received.
