We are Pandora in disguise !!

-



Pandora is possibly the
most mysterious of all characters
in the Greek mythology.

Hephaestus, by the order of Zeus
created Pandora out of earth and water.

Sort of life evolving
in the Darwinian theory.

Pandora was gifted by the gods.
Aphrodite bestowed her beauty.
Apollo gave her the musical abilities,
Athena wrapped her with best
clothes and Hermes gave her
the power of speech. Pandora
was complete.

Pandora was real and authentic.

Zeus gifted Pandora a box.
A box that could penetrate the reality
of fear and love.

For Zeus, it was a box to test humanity.

Zeus told Pandora never to open it.
But she couldn't not open it. She was gifted
curiosity by the gods.

And when she did,
all the world was flooded with
disappointment and horror.

But at the bottom of the box was Elpis,
the spirit of hope. And because of
that one thing. That spirit of hope,
humanity survived the test. They grew stronger.

I feel, love is the spirit of hope.
Love is the tree that flowers as hope.

Hope is not expectation.
Hope is life. Hope is consciousness.
Hope is the movement of stars.
Hope is love in its seed.

Life is a profound crystallization of consciousness in matter.
And matter in the exploration of life. Its a cycle.
Life is the Pandora's box. A jump in the infinitude of alive
possibilities that forms the fabric of all that is known as existence.
The dance which is the enormous privilege and adventure.

You and I,
we are the spirit of hope,
the flowering of love.

We are Pandora in disguise.
And we will survive all
the tests gifted by life.

You and I,
we are the cosmic event
that materialized the
intelligence of
space.

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagaran.

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equanimity can

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is something like an
