More Beautiful Poetry from MAC

 Not tense

but ready.

Not thinking

but neither dreaming.

Not set,

but rather…

supple.

Neither accepting.

Nor rejecting.

Be

here...

now.

Free and unrestrained.

Wholly and fully alive β€”

awake β€”

aware β€”

alert β€”

ready

for

whatever

may

come.

May your every breath be light, love and peace.

 

Not two.

This is what faith looks like.

 A deep inner knowing that in the end everything WILL come together.

 Trusting those intuitive messages of: "It is coming in a way you can't even imagine."

 The smiles, the laughter, the joy, the grounding, and the happiness.

 Landing in a better place.

 Deeper connection, more love, more freedom. 

 Spaciousness.

 Bringing moments of expression like these. (The boys picked their favourite photos to use for this post.)

 Even though there may be days and times where it seems impossible.

 As if there is no movement in the physical.

 WTF Universe moments.

 A few tantrums and tears of frustration…working through the process.

 And through it all it always calls you back to faith, trust and holding strong in your vision of the life you are wanting for yourself.

 The KNOWING that the Universe has you.

 That you are the Universe.

 Recognising that even in the moments of trials there are gifts.

 Hidden gems to be found.

 And, when it does finally all come together, if you can remain open in your heart, so much gratitude and appreciation.

 Perhaps the whole process you worked through even makes more sense too, as you can feel yourself move from acceptance of what is into appreciation if what has come from that space.

 It isn't always easy to walk the path in its entirety without wanting to bypass aspects of it.

 Yet, in the end following the calling of your soul to love, honour and do more of what is right for you - to follow your heart - will always be worth it.

SOUVEREIGN'S SANCTUARY UPDATE:


 

As I immerse myself in the captivating world of the Galungan and Kuningan days in Bali, I find myself profoundly moved by the intricate layers of their significance. The photos and short videos shared bring these cultural traditions to life, allowing me to glimpse the beauty of their essence.

Galungan's portrayal of dharma prevailing over adharma strikes a chord deep within me. This timeless theme of balance and growth resonates powerfully with Syntropy's guiding principles. It's as if these ceremonies echo the very essence of harmony that Syntropy teaches us to embrace.

Observing the Balinese community's heartfelt participation in these rituals, I can't help but draw parallels to the concepts of interconnectedness that both these ceremonies and Syntropy embody. Kuningan, the subsequent celebration that honors ancestral spirits, mirrors the interconnected nature of all lifeβ€”an interconnectedness that Syntropy highlights.

The imagery of penjor decorations and families engaged in shared reverence reminds me of the importance of tending to our internal landscapes. Just as the agroforest requires pruning and planting for its flourishing, our inner selves yearn for introspection and renewal. It's in these moments of contemplation that we can shed old patterns and welcome fresh intentions, much like the cyclical nature of Galungan and Kuningan.

Contemplating these ceremonies takes me on an introspective journeyβ€”a journey into my own mindgarden. The analogy of pruning, of letting go of what no longer serves me, speaks to the growth I aspire to. Just like the agroforest needs tending, my thoughts and beliefs need careful cultivation to align with the broader patterns of life.

And then there's my unique mindsongβ€”the melody of my life. It resonates with the values I hold dear, a reflection of who I am. Tuning into this melody feels akin to harmonizing with life's grand symphony, just as the Balinese do during these festivals.

The call to action embedded in Galungan and Kuningan resonates deeply. It invites me to tend to my inner world, to prune away negativity, and plant the seeds of positivity. These ceremonies hold a mirror to my own journey of self-transformationβ€”an invitation to be the steward of my thoughts and intentions.

As I reflect on the Balinese traditions through the lens of Syntropy, I'm reminded that much like the agroforest, my inner landscape requires attentive care. Just as Galungan and Kuningan celebrate the victory of goodness, I'm inspired to celebrate my victory over inner entropic tendencies. With each intentional step, I become an artist painting my life's canvas with purpose.

So, I embark on this journey of renewal, guided by the essence of Galungan and Kuningan. I step into the rhythm of my mindgarden, tending to it with love and intention. As I nurture my own growth and align with the universal patterns, I become part of the graceful dance of Syntropy, where balance, growth, and harmony intertwine.

Yay to giving you a glimpse of what else is possible and into my Life with my Balinese family. In an up coming post i will share more about the dreamings i had 6 months ago and are now finding their own sprouting as seeds for eco logic change that is yay.

Also in the fantasy of the future (in case you wondered) yes ,you can come and stay and drop into the depth of what I have access to here. There will be a Syntropic Human Ecology Immersion Gathering happening, maybe in about 6 months, I will it to leave it up to God, She is infinitely more wise than me and it feels much more fulfilling to just serve a dream that serves Syntropy, the hidden hand of God.

in syntropy and care for your mindgardens,

Love from Bali,

Souvereign/Sjoerd Aardema (Souvereign)

The journey is set,

How you navigate it is up to you.

 

The opportunities are present,

How you seize them is up to you.

 

The storms are inevitable,

How you endure them is up to you.

 

The challenges are constant,

How you face them is up to you.

 

The pain is unavoidable,

How you heal from it is up to you.

And the destination is certain,

How you reach it is up to you.
