Through the power of awareness the afflictive emotions collapse, and this collapsing reveals their true nature, primordial wisdom. This collapsing or transformation is the wrathful deity.

~ H.E. Garchen Rinpoche

‘’The transformation that occurs when the afflictive emotions are subdued with the sharp discriminating awareness is the arising of the wrathful deities. The actual nature of the afflictive emotions is primordial wisdom, thus the five poisons are the five wisdoms.’’

Thank you, you're right. I'm being caught by conflating things I haven't fully teased apart yet (possibly the distinction between ordinary mind's awareness fields vs unconditioned ground awareness).

Definitely channeling Leyendecker. Excellent job of it too.

Note: awareness is not conditioned like the pollinator is, so there are some limits to how well this metaphor is gonna jive

Awareness is like the pollinator and our body is the flower.

When awareness engages this body, it becomes drunk and enamored with love for it.

It believes everything it sees and feels great care for the thoughts and feelings of that particular body.

Exploring flower motif

The pollinator is shaped by and for the flower. All of its thoughts and energies are conditioned to be excited by and engaged with the flower.

The flower is shaped and colored to draw the pollinator. They are not separate but are conditioned to fit and engage each other.

"It is in the nature of political bodies always to see the evil in the opposite group, just as the individual has an ineradicable tendency to get rid of everything he does not know and does not want to know about himself by foisting it off on somebody else."

— Carl Jung

Oooh that's good

This body is like a bouquet of karmic flowers. It's gonna fade and fall apart.

My job is to be with them while they bloom and then move onto the next bouquet.

"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."

Auguries of Innocence, William Blake

There is nothing wrong in repeating the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. Mother’s work is not over with the birth of the child. She feeds it day after day, year after year until it needs her no longer. People need hearing words, until facts speak to them louder than words.

All praise the World Sloth!

Love your style, reminds me of ligne claire! The monitor has great texture and form.

Meia dúzia de linhas de força transtemporais me atravessaram e me peguei dizendo na maior tranquilidade: O presente é o passado.

Forgiving others for their mistakes is genuinely divine, because each one of us is the same divinity.

Swami Medhananda

Visvarupa, universal and supreme form of Krishna revealed in the Bhagavad Gita.

Buddhism's revelation is called Mahavairocana.

"...the whole universe is described as contained within him... All creatures of the universe are part of him. He is the infinite universe, without a beginning or an end.'

In general,
It shows us a vision,
And it makes wisdom
Out of the connection between a mother and her child.
At the meeting on the border of samsara and nirvana
Our radiance is clear,
So in a body of light
We distil a wisdom that is beyond our ideas.
