I have always found sorrow beautiful, and at my best when I view them from outside all the emotions are beautiful for me in their own way.
To combat the darkness that I have at times feared might overwhelm my soul, I have learned to seek out beauty in all that I and others might call ugly. To see an ever shifting and changing sacred magick and beauty in chaos and discord, and find inspiration in randomness.

Like Milarepa who could not get the demons to leave, so he invited them to stay. All is the divine, all is beautiful.

[Nick]

Of course beauty is subjective, a value we assign, but this serves to bring attention and therefor energy to anything that motivates, and reaffirms what is important to us.

From that relative position I would add, that I find everything is more beautiful when I am on my path with a heart. And that the path with a heart is itself beautiful.

What of the beauty that has expanded far beyond the horizons of this world. The beauty that is soul deep, extending beyond our temporal memories. In dreaming and in waking, i have found hiddem memories expanding beyond this world, to a world my soul travels to, heavenly. the beauty in simply being is expanded, and the joy of lost knowledge comes back and makes one leap for joy. When i find a place like this it makes me joyous of my life and the mystery that is. There is a place that knows me, and knows all of my travels, hopes dreams and aspirations. here my dreams not only manifest to my intent, but help is there for me, showing me how, and even doing it all for me. i guess the main point in my post is the knowledge tht other plains and worlds exist that we do not remember in this incarnation, yet still awaits us, just beyond this life, and even if sought guides us in and beyond this life.

I have wandered the depths and hidden corners of hellish nightmares. And i can say that beauty is all the things in this life we take for granted. Imagine that you couldn`t even look at someone without their faces melting and their conscious mind collapsing. Imagine that all the words you heard were empowered only to crete a hell. every word like a dagger into the belly of your will. Then... exit that and go to a place where people talk normally, where they don`t melt, and they speak of positive awareness. then the normality of our existence is wonderous to behold once again. sometimes it can take a trip far away form the world to experience exactly what the world is. I can honestly say that a normal average world is far better than the blazing fires of hell tormenting the mind and will of the dreamer. I don`t want to spread fear, or even knowledge of hell, but i do want to express that we do and easily can take for granted the simplest of things we, as a race of humans, have created for ourselves. its easy to stay in heaven as opposed to hell. just be good. denying anythign detrimental to health and well-being is a safe start. whenever one hears of knowledge they can effectively scan it, and see where and what that knowledge does. if it is bad, or negative, i suggest using your dream facility, and arranging a knowledge that is progressive instead. it works.

Ditto! When ever my assemblage point moves to a new position, or any time there is a change in my experience of reality, or when I recapitulate a forgotten memory, or get back depleted energy it is beautiful for the reasons you say. Discovering a new member of my self is like discovering a long lost family member. The beauty of discovering a new place, plane or reality, when everything seems fresh...I feel more at peace and more rejuvenated when I travel in any form than when I am stagnant. Or to see the same old thing in a new way. How I can see it a little differently or a lot and varying degrees in between.

Yes, yes! The power to transform what bothers us or brings us down is so vitally important. And even if someone hasn't much proficiency in dreaming a shift of perception is something most people can achieve. The beauty of this simple shift of perception is that gradually these little shifts accumulate and we can develop larger shifts.

Agreed, the larger shhifts are more fun and more... wow. i found that using the record or rather the point of recollection that even the little shifts are memorized, and can be recalled usually with little effort. i found that the recollection point has an awareness of its own, an inorganic awareness. it knows what i am looking for as soon as i start to recap, and it can `stack`
or arrange the shifts in specific orders. it is at times almost like another living entity is alllligning and feeding me the positions necesary for what i wish to accomplish. pretty cool. i discovered it simply by dreaming my memory and envisioning how i want my memory process to function, then i simply applied my vision to the active stream, or flow. my memory became so perfect that i could extract and isolate selected features of my memories including the primal tapestry, bring up full colour with perfect dreamlike perceptual clarity. i did all this dream and pattern work myself, and i had a group of inorganics attach to my telepathically and begin battling me. they said, or tried to say that it was them projecting to me my memories, and them who taught it to me. they wanted me to give them the credit, and the attachment to my memory system. we fought for months on this, and i told them **** off and let me do it by myself, just to prove it to them that i dreamt the effect myself onto my body. not with them. eventually i proved it to them, but it didn;t matter with this particular group. they were nasty monsters who wanted credit for every powerful thing in the world, whilst giving no credit to anyone else. they were by far the worst group of inorganics i have ever met. not beautiful in any way, they were in fact anti-beauty. i am sorry even to speak of them here in this thread.

I watched for just a minutte and sure enough there it was! a snowbutterfly, glistening and fluttering, alive and made completely of snow. it was beautiful!!

Beautiful snowfly, thank you. i love the sychrnicity of images and the moment unfolding. It has a way of capturing and conveying the unseen that always seems to amaze me.
