Anam Cara, The Mystery of Friendship, Part 2

article image placeholderUploaded by @IAmJoydeVie
Naturally, one would have to subtract biological considerations from this assumption. In order to draw this imaginary world, you would have to practice years of silence before the mystery of Presence in the other. Then you could begin to approach. In the course of your life, you might approach only one or two people. This idea gains in reality if you view your life carefully and distinguish between acquaintances and friends. A friend is different from an acquaintance. FRiendshIp is deeper and more sacred connection

Diarmuid and Grainne. #bookhouse #bookauthor #spirituality

You come on wings, enchanted in such hunger for light, you become the butterfly burnt to nothing so long as you have lived this. To die is to become new. You remain in a gloomy guest on the dark earth. Translation by the author this poem captures the wonderful spiritual force at the heart of longing. It suggests that true vitality is hidden within longing. When you give in to creative passion, it will bring you to the ultimate threshold of transfiguration and renewal

@IAmJoydeVie Love As Ancient Recognition #bookhouse #bookauthor #spirituality

That which is ancient between you, will mind you, shelter you, and hold you together. When two people fall in love, each comes in and out of the loneliness of exile, home to the one of House of Belonging. At weddings, it is appropriate to acknowledge the gracious destiny that enabled this couple to recognize each other. When they met. Each recognized the other as the one in whom their heart could be at home

The Circle of Belonging #bookhouse #bookauthor #spirituality

You need to change the rhythm of seeing each other and come in contact again with the ancient belonging that brought you together. If you invoke its power and presence around you, this ancient affinity will hold you together. Two people who are really awakened inhabit the one circle of belonging. They have awakened a more ancient force around them that will hold them together and mind them. Friendship needs a lot of nurturing

The Kalyana Mitra @bookhouse @bookauthor @spirituality

Therefore, you must depend on the one you love to see for you what you cannot see for yourself. The Kalyana Mitra complements your vision in a kind and critical way. Such friendship is creative and critical. It is willing to negotiate awkward and uneven territories of contradiction and woundedness. One of the deepest longings of the human soul is the longing to be seen. In an ancient myth, Narcissus looks into the pool, sees his own face and becomes obsessed with it

The Soul as Divine Echo @bookhouse @bookauthor @spirituality

The soul as divine echo. We are capable of such love and belonging because the soul holds the echo of a primal intimacy. When talking about primal things, the Germans talk of er spunglich ding original things. There is an er intimitat ender cell. That is a primal intimacy in the soul. This original echo whispers within every heart. The soul did not invent itself. It is a presence from the divine world where intimacy has no limit or barrier
