"It is a fact that a life experience is a manifestation of divinity.

And the mind of an individual is the builder.

Then as the individual sets the self to do or to accomplish that which is creative, they come under the interpretation of the law between karma and grace.

No longer is the individual then under the law of cause and effect — or karma, but rather in grace — 

they may go on to their higher calling."

ECRL 2800-2

Oannès: 

I, the first consciousness of chaos, arose from the abyss that I might harden matter, and give law unto forms.

Oannes et le Sphinx, 1910,

Odilon Redon

The Apkallu, or Abgal, are seven sages in Sumerian mythology, demigods created by the god Enki (or Ea) from the ocean to establish a culture and give civilization (mainly the Me (𒈨 Sumerian: me; Akkadian: paršu) moral code [cf. 德/禮] and arts and crafts) to mankind by teaching them. They are typically depicted as having the lower torso of a fish or dressed as fish.

The first of the seven is Adapa — also known as Uan* or Oannes — which taught mankind the practice of proper rites of religious observance. He is said to have revealed all knowledge and wisdom to man after the Creation. Oannes is primarily known for a story in which he broke the wings of Ninlil, the South Wind, who had overturned his fishing boat and was called to account before the sky-god Anu. At Enki’s suggestion, Oannes apologized humbly, and Anu offered him the food of immortality. Still, he refused, having been warned against eating in heaven by Enki, who had anticipated Oannes being offered the food of death instead.

* Uan or Ὠάννης (Ōánnēs) m sg (genitive Ōannis) third declension: an apkallu (Apkallu [Akkadian] & Abgal [Sumerian:𒉣𒈨 ] terms found in cuneiform inscriptions that in general mean either "wise" or "sage") also known as Adapa.

Changing line #1

初六：旅瑣瑣，斯其所取災。

"Ignoring Trivial Concerns"— If I focus on trivial worries as I journey through life, this will lead to misfortune. There is no reason to get defensive at this time. Treat others with respect and they will treat me the same.

Changing line #6

上九：鳥焚其巢，旅人先笑後號咷。喪牛于易，凶。

六三：來兌，凶。

Seeking solely on the outer level for fun and pleasure-though nothing is wrong with this can become a distraction from experiencing the depth of pure joy

Changing line #4

九四：商兌，未寧，介疾有喜。

"Deciding Higher"— I shall not let my focus swerve to the lower realms at this time. I put my attention on matters dear to my heart, not on lowly or superficial games. I decide to step into a cosmic inner joy

MEMENTO MORI

Mosaic from Pompeii  (I, 5, 2)

National Archaeological Museum, Naples

Roman mosaic depicting the Wheel of Fortune which — as it turns — can make the rich (symbolized by the purple cloth on the left) poor and the poor (symbolized by the goatskin on the right) rich. Certainly, both states are very precarious, with death never far and life hanging by a thread: when it breaks, the soul (symbolized by the butterfly) flies off. And thus are all made equal.

 

Monday, October 3, 2022 First Quarter Illumination: 56% On October 3 the Moon is 7.92 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases. The Moon's current phase for today and tonight is a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one-quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Precisely half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase, the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until midnight when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one-day event and in the following days, a Waxing Gibbous phase becomes more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

"Each individual must stand upon their own inner developments to bring peace or harmony. So long as any is leaning upon another, or so long as they are leaning upon another, there cannot be the full or complete control of self."  ECRL 165-22

Losing Sight of self

Whatever was is no more

The present knowledge is based on a total absence of knowledge

Parenting and scholarly education amount to alienation

Nothing anymore flows from the source

Until I return

"So with Happiness.

Only when one has lost sight of self,

in the appreciation of the love, beauty and hope

in the Creative Forces and their activity,

may one indeed know Happiness."
