Love the hats! Do you have any good paintings / representations you could share of the Karmic Wheel/ Samsara? I'm looking for one for an upcoming article.
They are called "chada" in Thai. Absolutely stunning! Regarding bhavakachakra (the wheel of time) there is a gorgeous painting in the article I wrote a few weeks ago on the topic of liberation. https://gregorypettys.substack.com/p/liberation
Thank you kindly Gregory! I find it fascinating that the square (4 dimensional plane of the Earth?) is always within the circle. Breaking into higher spiritual planes first requires a firm footing on this Earth, and appreciation of our physical senses and cosmic forces of electricity and magnetism, which then combine into light pushing us higher, past the limitations of time..that's how I interpret the bhavakachakra. Would love to know your thoughts.
The more that more people ask and respons to these questions, the closer we will move toward a more healthy, verdant, safe and peaceful world:
"Could we teach them to view the Earth as alive and themselves a wild, fabulous extensions of Her? Can we learn how to teach children to respect not only kids that have different skin tones than they do but to respect other beings altogether? Like wolves and bodies of water? And arguably the biggest question of all, can we learn how to become mature adults again, worthy eventual elders dedicated to living well in communities strong enough to welcome home initiated youth? To be sure, education seems to require better questions than the ones generally being asked now." Thanks, my friend, for raising these for all to consider.
Thank you for sharing this experience. Your words transported me to a different time and place and I am grateful. ❤️
Powerful trip report Greg 🙏 Has watered seeds of hope in me, especially in the honouring of Right Gathering. Vinaka!
I was thinking of you while there brother. Hope all is going well in Fiji!
