Gaston Lachaille, 1944 (Colette)

Gaston Lagaffe, 1957 (André Franquin). The character of Gaston Lagaffe ('Gomer Goof') is derived from stereotypes of the American beatnik, publicized from 1957. The success of the book On the Road (1957) by Jack Kerouac made known the Beat Generation, a radical movement of emancipation inspired by the mode of free and maverick life of jazz musicians, which was abruptly popularized and both mocked by the American mass media. Beatnik stereotypes included pacifism, refusal to work, nonconformity or even eccentricity, love of jazz and the bohemian life, and clothing stereotypes such as long hair, beret, sandals, and duffel. -coat, blue jeans and turtlenecks.

Graham Greene, born June 22, 1952, is a First Nations (Oneida) Canadian.

Graham Greene, Thunderheart

The Oneida (autonym: Onyota'a: ka, the People of the Upright Stone, or standing stone, Thwahrù·nęʼ in Tuscarora) are Native American tribe and First Nations band. They are one of the five founding nations of the Iroquois Confederacy in the area of upstate New York, particularly near the Great Lakes.

Originally the Oneida inhabited the area that later became central New York, particularly around Oneida Lake and Oneida County. Today the Oneida have four nationally recognized nations: Oneida Indian Nation in New York, an Oneida Nation, in and around Green Bay, Wisconsin in the United States; and two in Ontario, Canada: Oneida at Six Nations of the Grand River and Oneida Nation of the Thames in Southwold.

Graham Greene provided the pre-recorded narration for Tecumseh!, the highly acclaimed outdoor show held in Ohio, based upon the life of the illustrious Shawnee chief of that name. He portrayed Sitting Bull in a short Historica vignette.

Tecumseh

Tecumseh was born in the Shawnee territory in what is now Ohio between 1764 and 1771; the best evidence suggests a birthdate of around March 1768. The traditional Shawnee pronunciation of his name is "Tecumthé". He was born into the Panther clan of the Kispoko division of the Shawnee tribe. Like most Shawnees, his name indicated his clan: translations of his name from the Shawnee language include "I Cross the Way", and "Shooting Star", references to a meteor associated with the Panther clan.

The High Priestess – Guardian of the Mystery – The Wisdom Keeper

The High Priestess/Hierophantissa (Greek: Hiera:-sacred and Phanes:-illuminator/revealer) is the feminine archetype of one who acts as a conduit to the Divine Mystery. She is the earthly portal to all that is unknown and unseen in the physical and she is the veil through which one perceives all that is unconscious and hidden. The High Priestess represents and contains within her symbolic chalice (divine feminine womb) the primal feminine principle of the Divine. The ancient Jewish mystics called this Feminine aspect of “God” the Shekinah. The Shekinah although not mentioned by name in the patriarchal Old Testament, is mentioned frequently in ancient rabbinic literature. In its many translations, the Shekinah is often described as the mysterious, beautiful and feminine “Presence” of “God” or as some may describe – ‘The Holy Spirit’. Over time her presence was hidden and dismissed, but still can be found in Jewish tradition as the “Shabbat Kallah” the Sabbath Bride called in to be greeted in union with her counterpart/husband, the masculine Godhead. Within Ancient pre-Alexandrian Kabbalah, the Shekinah was represented as the triune of Feminine Wisdom (Chokmah) Understanding (Binah) and Knowledge (Da’ath). The Shekinah was the equivalent of the Greek Sophia. Over centuries the patriarchal Kabbalists changed the two sephirot – Chokmah and Da’ath – to masculine aspects and the Hebrew Sophia was no longer attributed to the Feminine. The Hierophantissa is most commonly represented in the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot. Her masculine counterpart is the Magician. She is the embodiment of unconscious intuitive and esoteric wisdom and the Magician is the embodiment of conscious power and worldly knowledge. The High Priestess is the keeper of all that is known and still waiting to be illuminated. She holds the harmonic equilibrium between light and dark, the beginning and the end. This is symbolically illustrated as the two pillars of Boaz and Yochim in the Temple of Solomon and can be revealed as the Hebrew letters Beth and Yod. Beth being the first letter of the first word of the Torah and Yod being the first letter of the last word of the Torah. There are too many misunderstandings and untold hidden truths within the Tarot teaching system, not least within the origins of the name of the ‘Tarot’ itself. The polarities of life and all that lies between, is contained within the Shekinah’s ‘pearls of wisdom’ and the High Priestess sits as Her guardian before these pillars of opposites at the entrance to the Temple of Mystery...

The High Priestess is pure presence before the light and dark emerge. She is the one who crosses the void and brings as many as she can through the gates with her. The priestess abides by the laws of Spirit and is not chained by earthly matters. She knows her time on earth is temporary and focuses on the subtle realms of vibration and astral travel. The High Priestess is guided by pure intuition and her devotion to the Supreme Spirit. Her strength comes from the unending well of love energy that interconnects us all. As she continues discovering the mysteries of magick, she shares all experiences discovered in truth and love, to be shared with all beings that are receptive to her energy, art, and word. The priestess appears when one is dedicated to the continuous unfolding discovery of the truth of being.

The High Priestess emerges when our fear of the unknown realms vanishes. She is the walker between the worlds of God and man. She has the quality of the ethers and the creative blooming of untainted imagination. As we move into pure inspiration, which is in direct alignment with the Source, we become free from the binds of all false selves. From this freedom blooms infinite wisdom within, that obliterates all veils of illusion. The realms of light we embody and travel upon reveal an unending portal of creativity that is now bursting forth in every aspect of our life. In this space, we can move majestically in freedom, guided by the laws of the universe. In this creatively expansive space, there is no attachment of outcome, as we are only abiding in the pure expression of the Divine, always alive and inspired.

As we embody the High Priestess energy, the only interest we have is union with our pure God Self. We witness that by abiding in the Source, the whole world moves in divine harmony. Anxiety and fear leave our field because we are aware that what is done in these states is not original to the purity of our nature. As we move guided by the inner Spirit, we know that all which occurs can only be the Divine moving. Our alignment and integrity with our being in our total embodiment of the High Priestess will allow us to be the highest service to Mother Earth and all the inhabitants here and all lifeforms on lower and higher realms of existence. Let us open ourselves to the greater responsibilities that come with the higher realms we have entered.

To an experienced practitioner - moving mind and still mind are the same things. No matter what appears, it is empty of nature. It is the play of primordial wisdom. Whenever thoughts arise they will be set free spontaneously. This is samadhi. This is naturally arisen primordially wisdom. Leave as is without fabrication. Just as a rope burned by fire cannot tie anything up, discursive thoughts no longer bind. Their nature is empty. What appears as thoughts is the very radiance of emptiness.  There is no difference between thoughts and emptiness. Nature of thoughts being empty, they should be understood as dharmakaya - true indestructible reality. Nothing to meditate upon. When you make corrections to ordinary thoughts it sets in motion the chain reaction of delusion. Don’t correct or modify anything. When you stray from leaving things just as they are, that itself is a delusion. All you need is to avoid wandering. The only point is to never wander while maintaining no object of focus whatsoever. If grasping thoughts are freed by themselves, the objects of grasping thoughts - forms, objects whatever - are also freed of their own accord. Sights such as beautiful or ugly forms, smells, joys and sorrows, friends and enemies, earth, water, fire wind and all the rest, whatever arises, whatever appears, leave it all just as is. Mindfulness should never be departed from compassion. At the start think your meditation is for all beings. At the end of your meditation dedicate the merit to all beings. Without compassion the root of practice is poison. ~ Patrul Rinpoche

Any enabling of the Do/道 — may it render it flat or sharp — creates a divergence from the constant vibration.
Hence, any egoic enabling or seizing of the life force coils it into a local manifestation bound by the conditions of that locale.
