JAPANESE #CAMELLIA FLOWER ESSENCE

enter image description here
WHAT IT CATALYZES
Activate: Contentment
Message: I am #love.
Japanese Camellia (Camellia japonica) inspires a #peaceful acceptance of the way things are. It induces contentment, like the full belly feeling after a beautiful meal. We feel warm and fuzzy, almost as if we’re surrounded by family or a sense of family and camaraderie. Japanese Camellia offers a deeper acceptance of all things the way they are.

It magnifies a deep softness and appreciation of beauty. We are filled with peaceful laughter and we experience empathy with the people around us. Our ability to deeply listen with all senses and feel the essence of what’s behind people’s words is enhanced. We may feel like being quiet so that we can tune in and listen even more to what others are saying vs. having our own reaction or interjecting our own words. There is a peaceful, patient energy that flows through us that acts clearly without hesitation.

Even if people around us are harsh or come at us with fierce words or energy, we can soften and stay open and peaceful. Our sense of inner peace is not as affected by others emotions; we can maintain our soft patience. Instead of jumping to conclusions and then being hard on ourselves, we can simply quietly observe what’s happening around us and find it easier to #maintain a sense of soft #inner #peace.

In #Essence
MAGNIFIES: Love; #Compassion; #Appreciation

DISSOLVES: Worry; Callousness; Indifference

5th Day of #Navratri: Colour - #White
White, often associated with the #goddess #Skandamata during the fifth day of Navratri, embodies #purity and #peacefulness. This color is revered for its ability to invoke divine blessings and create a serene environment.

Symbolism of White
Purity and Innocence: White is universally recognized as a symbol of purity and innocence. It represents a clean slate, offering a sense of renewal and hope. In many cultures, white is the color of choice for weddings, symbolizing new beginnings and untainted love.
Serenity and Calmness: White can evoke feelings of #tranquility and calmness. It is often used in spaces intended for relaxation, promoting emotional well-being, and reducing stress.
#Divine #Connection: In various religions, white symbolizes divinity and holiness. It is commonly associated with spiritual #enlightenment, purity, and the #sacred. For instance, in Christianity, white garments are worn during significant religious ceremonies to signify purity and sacrifice.
#MaaSkandamata
Skandamata is the fifth form of #Navadurga and has a story related to the birth of #Kartikeya and is often known as the "Mother of #Skanda". Her identity goes hand in #hand with #motherhood and #compassion and is often associated with #gentle attributes. She is described as having four arms, three eyes, and a pure complexion, riding on a lion with lotus flowers while holding her son. She is worshipped on the fifth day of Navratri in memory by doing mantras, offering sweets and flowers, and asking for some fasting.

#Skandamata was drawn from Hindu mythology as one of the divine mothers who bore Kartikeya to slay the demon Tarakasura. She represents #victory #over #evil in the form of maternity. The devotee seeks boons of #wisdom, #wealth, #power, and a #peaceful #mind praying to Skandamata to lead them to greater #consciousness and enlightenment.

White (Day 5): Dedicated to the Skandamata goddess, white symbolizes purity and peacefulness. White creates serenity and is done to invoke divine blessings.

The #Six #Enemies of The #Mind ( #Arishadvarga / #Shadripu)
These are the fundamental tenets of #Kali-yuga ( The #Dark-Age)

#kama — lust, craze, desire
#krodha — anger, hatred
#lobha — greed, miserliness, narrow minded
#moha — delusory emotional attachment
#mada — pride, stubborn mindedness
#matsarya — envy, jealousy, show or vanity, and pride
According to #Hindu #scriptures, these #bind the #soul to the #cycle of #birth and #death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of #Maya or relative existence). Especially the first three are said to pave the way towards #hell. The first two bring about difficult experiences we face in our lives.

No matter how powerful, rich, successful or outwardly happy we are, we cannot be considered mature if we have not conquered these six #internal #enemies.

In fact, #SanātanaDharma says that we will never be truly #happy and #peaceful #within our #hearts unless we defeat these six enemies — the ‘ #Shadripus.’

With the new and "booming" age of gunpowder, traditional fortress designs were rendered useless and indefensible. Modern cannons could easily destroy walls that were previously thought to be impenetrable. Famed Italian political scientist Machiavelli is quoted as saying, "There is no wall, whatever its thickness, that artillery will not destroy in only a few days." However, in the mid 1500s, circa 1530, #Michelangelo designed a revolutionary type of fortress that could withstand heavy fire from cannons and bombards. His design involved round or square shaped walls that came together at multiple diamond shaped points. Surrounding the fortress were ditches and walls designed to curtail enemy troops into specific regions along the fortress where they were most vulnerable and easily killed. Glacis, or artificial slopes in the land, were also installed to prevent cannon shots at the lower regions of the wall and keep heavy artillery at bay. Unlike previous forts, the star fort eliminated "dead zones" that were sheltered from defensive fire at the rounded pillars at the corners. The star shape eliminated all dead zones by exposing the enemy to fire from all sides. The new fort style required a much larger army to defend, but also required a much larger army to capture. The star fort design would leave Italy and become the preferred fort design for countries around the world. Thanks to its ingenious engineering, well designed geometry, and sturdy construction, the star fort would prove to be an effective defense against the ever-evolving cannons and artillery of the 1500s.

#Leonardo's #Fortress - bensozia
14 Jun 2011 ... ... and modernizing castles for Cesare Borgia, #LeonardodaVinci sketched in his notebook a design for a radically new kind of fortress.
#starfort

Cannon were already pretty effective siege weapons by the early fifteenth century, and the bastion design--with low walls of earth and brick that could withstand cannon better than the high stone walls of the pre-gunpowder era--was already well along by the time Leonardo came around. Gillingham has some good stuff on bastions in his War of the Roses book (his point being that bastions were NOT built in #England because England was actually very #peaceful ! during the period, with only brief periods of fighting resolved by battles, rather than the dragged-out wars of sieges they fought on the continent, where towns spent fortunes replacing their #medieval walls with bastions).

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #atheist, #bahai, #barbecue, #conversation, #dogsofthefediverse, #family, #fasting, #friends, #friendship, #humanist, #keto, #coffee, #ketofasting, #lgbtqparenting, #coffee, #love, #nde, #peace, #peaceful, and #spiritual. Also on Diaspora as; michaelwillsey@podling.oksocial.net, A young married man of 68 years of age, like simple casual conversations about anything. I'm most associated with reasonable liberalism in that I accept everyone as they are except mean people. I feel we need mutual cooperation and not mutual destruction. The world is grossly overpopulated, and we need to end the Industrial Revolution as it has failed and end capitalism, as it too has failed. Currently, I'm supporting the Forward political party. Although I agree that George Washington was correct in saying all political party are wrong-headed. Earth Homes are nice. A new society with a blend of agriculture and science for the greater good is needed. Thorium LFTR will give us safe and unlimited energy so that fossil fuel can be eliminated except in absolutely needed situations. I'm especially against racism and for mixed marriages. My late wife was an amazing African-American, my current with has family roots in Puerto Rico. I'm a Scotch, English and west coast of Europe blend. We love all positive people who want everyone to be safe and loved.
