The speaker in the video has a very strong bias towards wisdom, almost to the exclusion of love, and this tends to reflect your own bias along similar lines. My impression, having read your posts for a decade now, is that your present incarnation is about emboldening the love in the field of your being, not the wisdom. I've seen you go round and round in wisdom circles like a dog chasing its tail. That can be fun for awhile, but when you decide that maybe you're missing something, you might consider aiming your prodigious will towards love, not towards wisdom. This may help you balance yourself in ways that doing the opposite never will.
Where is this thing called love? Perhaps you should begin by looking deeply into your heart center? That's where I found it.
This is just my opinion.
Thank you. Yes, I'm learning the lessons of love right now. It's lessons in unconditional love. Just waiting and letting it expand.
I think everyone would agree reddish/pink makes people think of Valentines day/are the colors associated. Red roses. Pink stones like rose quartz or reddish pink rhodochrosite have this affiliation. Why? Well pink is the color of a girls cave. aha I don't mean to offend anyone but really if you think about it, why else is the color pink considered so feminine and interwoven to the holiday? Picturing hearts fluttering out of some cartoon character under a spell.
Valentine Chocolate is known as a mood elevator. Old mexican recipes involved raw cacao and hot chilis to amplify this effect. Dark chocolate with endorphins from spices.
These are just ideas that float through my mind when trying to reflect on items and imagery that embody the idea. It's worth noting that the national flower of India is pink lotus, and with a lot of these Egyptian motifs it's worth noting blue lotus is the flower of Egypt as it grows in the Nile. That plant makes a person feel like they are floating. White lotus is the central american variety. Lotus gives a floating sensation.
And in the Navaratna, the thing that made the ideas all click in my topics was when someone mentioned diamonds and diamond rings have that romantic association. He wrongly claimed that's why they're worn on the ring finger, because I checked. The "pinky" finger corresponds to chakra 4 but he was correct of it being the heart stone.
There's another term Temixoch, Mexican in origin. flowery dream/dream flower. It brings to mind a young woman with flowers in her hair in a wide open green space. And suddenly I'm reminded of this written by Mataji in the 70s
You are angry with life
Like small children
Whose mother is lost in darkness.
You sulk expressing despair
At the fruitless end of your journey.
You wear ugliness to discover Beauty.
You name everything false in the name of Truth.
You drain out emotions to fill the cup of Love.
My sweet children, my darling
How can you get peace by waging war
With yourself, with your being, with joy itself.
Enough are your efforts of renunciation.
The artificial mask of consolation.
Now rest in the petals of the lotus flower
In the lap of your gracious Mother.
I will adorn your life with beautiful blossoms
And fill your moments with joyful fragrance.
I will anoint your head with Divine Love
For I cannot bear your torture anymore.
Let me engulf you in the ocean of joy,
So you lose your being in the Greater one
Who is smiling in your calyx of self
Secretly hidden to tease you all the while.
Be aware and you will find Him
Vibrating your every fibre with blissful joy
Covering the whole Universe with light.
"What are you searching? Why are you aimlessly and listlessly running about? The joy that you have searched in material gains, the joy that you are looking for in power, the joy that disappeared in the words of books—the so-called knowledge—is all lost in yourself, and you are still searching and seeking! You can pay attention to everything outside yourself. You are lost in your thoughts, like babes in the wood.
But there is great hope that you can rise into the Heaven of thoughtless awareness, which we call Self-realization. I invite you to this feast of Divine Bliss, which is pouring around you, even in this Kali Yuga, in these God-forsaken modern times. I hope you will come and enjoy the spiritual experience of the life eternal.”
