Eternal Transformation

In Hinduism, the Atman, or soul, is one’s eternal Self. It resides in all living creatures, not just in this lifetime but all incarnations a soul will have. The Atman itself, gives the materialistic body life and is also all-knowing; since it comes from the supreme God, Brahman.

"it’s the crack in everything that let’s the light shine in…"

Kenshō (見性) (or jian xing in Mandarin) is a Japanese term from the Zen Buddhism tradition. Ken means “seeing”, shō means “nature, essence“. It is usually translated as “seeing one’s (true) nature”

The word refers to the initial awakening experience, and finally seeing one’s pure and authentic self, after having gone through some rough patches- basically a realization point. A kaleidoscopic view of your life, an uproar of your soul, giving you a sense of direction.

In other words, it's a way of attaining enlightment through pain, as most of us tend to learn, shall we say, "the hard way"

However, to reach this state, one has to travel through roadblocks, pave one’s path, reframe failure, rename the sufferings, be in clear space, and above all, learn the art of letting go.

Time to recalibrate, twist the chords, untie a few strings, and align the beads together to weave the new YOU.

Pain is the fuel to grow, so don’t be afraid- gather yourself and let the universe guide you to your highest potential.

The important lesson here is not to get attached to any experience, be it good or bad.
Just let go.

The words for both, River Crab (Mandarin - héxiè) and Harmonious (héxié) are Internet slang terms created by Chinese netizens in reference to the Internet censorship, or other kinds of censorship in China. In Mandarin, the word "river crab" (河蟹), which originally means Chinese mitten crab, sounds similar to the word "harmonious/harmonize/harmonization" (Chinese: 和谐) in the word "harmonious society" (和谐社会), the ex-Chinese leader Hu Jintao's signature ideology.

The Harmonious Society (also known as Socialist Harmonious Society) is a socioeconomic concept in China that is recognized as a response to the increasing alleged social injustice and inequality emerging in Chinese society as a result of unchecked economic growth, which has led to social conflict. The governing philosophy has therefore shifted around economic growth to overall societal balance and harmony. Along with a moderately prosperous society, it was set to be one of the national goals for the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The concept of social harmony dates back to ancient China, to the time of Confucius. As a result, the philosophy has also been characterized as a form of New Confucianism. In modern times, it developed into a key feature of CCP general secretary Hu Jintao's signature ideology of the Scientific Outlook on Development developed in the mid-2000s, being re-introduced by the Hu–Wen Administration during the 10th National People's Congress.

The promotion of the "Harmonious Society" demonstrated that Hu Jintao's ruling philosophy had departed from that of his predecessors. Near the end of his tenure in 2011, Hu appeared to extend the ideology to an international dimension, with a focus on the international peace and cooperation, which is said to lead to a "harmonious world".

The concept of harmony in Chinese culture comes from music; during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, discussion of music flourished under Confucius and the schools of thought he created, known as Confucianism. Confucianism played a key part in the formulation of the earliest form of Chinese music, Qin.

Qin music illustrates the concept of harmony through its techniques such as the level of pressure and the speed of tempo, which symbolize Yin and Yang and the different temperature in the four seasons. The moderate unison of sounds maintains the perfect order and managing these opposing elements into a moderate piece of musical work is considered the best sound. Furthermore, one of the most influential works by Ru Jia (otherwise known as Book of Music), reads:

When the early rulers formed the li [rituals] and yue [music] their purpose was not to satisfy the mouth, stomach, ear and eye, but rather to teach the people to moderate their likes and hates, and bring them back to the correct direction in life.

Music, under Confucian concepts, has the power to transform people to become more civilized and the goal of music is to create balance within individuals, nature and society. Leading people "back to the correct direction in life" not only signifies the guiding role of music, but also emphasizes on the power of the rulers.

Satorí is a Japanese Buddhist term for "awakening", "comprehension; understanding". The word derives from the Japanese verb satoru.

Both Satorí and Kenshō are commonly translated as "enlightenment" aka the bodhi, prajñā and Buddhahood.

It is often considered an experience which cannot be expressed in words. While the term satori is derived from the Japanese verb "to know" (satoru), it is distinct from the philosophical concept of knowledge as it represents a transcendence of the distinction between one that knows and knowledge.

A heavier one from me and the mage here to emphasis the weight of what we now face within the United States. Hug an ally, help a neighbor, stock up and prepare for anything at this point... sometimes you just have to switch gears and change directions, and fast. Much love fam
