reciprocal co-creation

If it is the destiny of all humans put on earth to discover unconditional love, how then have we been going about it? Not so great by the looks of our current reality, even it nothing is permanent and always changes.

There is a traditional practice of reconciliation and forgiveness called Hoʻoponopono. It is practiced and performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand.

Scrolling through my feed I came across this information on ancestral mathematics.

In order to be born, you needed:
2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great-grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4.094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment - How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? - did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment.

The phrase "dark night of the soul," [noche oscura del alma] can be traced back to a 16th-century Spanish poem by the Roman Catholic mystic San Juan de la Cruz, Saint John of the Cross. 

Portrait of Saint John of the Cross by Arnold van Westerhout

In an obscure night En una noche oscura,

Fevered with love's anxiety con ansias, en amores inflamada,

O hapless, happy plight! ¡oh dichosa ventura!

I went, none seeing me salí sin ser notada

forth from my house, estando ya mi casa sosegada.

Pathocracy: when people with personality disorders gain power.

As if patriarchy were not bad enough we are now challenged by these idiots.
