stellArium & ethereal counterparts

  ©Alaleh Alamir In my simple words On this plane, the physical self doesn't remember its origin; after birth, an infant gradually starts forgetting and dissociating from higher planes. By coming into resonance with the environment and its density, a veil starts forming between the physical self and the soul. As the forgetting occurs, there will be a gradual need to compensate and build an ego. Over time, the physical self identifies with its mask, the ego, which is somewhat different from the image or idea we have of ourselves. Because the ego is mostly a creation of our subconscious, it carries our shadow (of which we are unaware). In our present times, both the ego and self-image are significant issues to tackle on the ascension journey. At the beginning, the physical self gradually mingles with all sorts of other beings. According to the expectations it meets in the environment, it starts shielding itself behind a personality, a persona, an image. It wears masks, which can be m...

Le Château des Pyrénées, René Magritte - 1959, 200x145cm Il est facile de perdre un point de vue juste et correct lorsque notre existence est encombrée de trop nombreux dispositifs superflus. Nous finissons par nous sentir piégés dans un cycle de poursuites futiles et d'illusions qui occupent tout notre espace mental et notre attention.

Le Château des Pyrénées, René Magritte - 1959, 200x145cm It is easy to lose perspective when we have cluttered our existence with too many superfluous devices. We end up feeling trapped in a cycle of futile pursuits and illusions that occupy our mental space and attention.  The world is oversaturated with an excess of “things”: an overwhelming surplus of images, sounds, ideas, and belongings. It has been spiraling into chaos, thriving on excess and plunging into a dark yet flamboyant disorder - which in essence is leading us into an unprecedented confrontation with a stark void. Once we awaken to this awareness, breaking free from this excess can only be made by a deliberate choice.  To recognise how all this surplus of trivialities has become a heavy burden is crucial.  To empty our environment, to release and let go of unnecessary material belongings, to clear our mental and emotional bodies can all take time but it is life-enhancing. It may open doors to alterna...
