The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention
Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […] -
The Sabbath isn't a day off. It's an act of resistance.
The commandment to rest comes right after 'You were slaves in Egypt.' Shabbat exists because an enslaved people needed to remember: you are not owned by your labor.
The day changed across traditions. The liberation theology didn't.
What does Sabbath mean in your tradition?

In both Indian cosmology and Slavic traditions, time was not primarily linear, it was cyclical. Indian thought describes vast cosmic cycles, called yugas, alongside smaller rhythms structured by lunar phases, solar transitions and ritual calendars. Human life itself participates in these patterns through birth, death, & rebirth.

CW: cross-cultural spirituality, religion in china, cultural anthropology, hearing voices
i'm listening to an interview with a chinese ufologist (don't even ask) and the interviewer is coming from a western perspective. so when the interviewee says that he initially thought that he was receiving communication from "ascended masters" or some other spirits, the interviewer was shocked. she was like.. "how did you know to even consider that?? i thought there was tight control over religion in china.."
does she assume that because there's "no religion" in china that there's no spirituality?
i'm not sure if the interviewee understood what she was asking. he was basically like "yes, i thought i was getting communication from spirits," whereas she wanted to know how he could even ~imagine~ such a thing since "there's no religion in china."
anyway, because i'm a schmuck, i posted a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_folk_religion and basically said like...just because it's a "communist country" and there's "no religion", there are still very widespread spiritual practices that are like thousands of years old. they got spirits, demons, and all kinds of heavens and hells. so yea.
anyway, if i'm way off-base here, someone please correct my understanding.

I just read this passage from the #Asian Journal of #ThomasMerton and I love it. [I believe he was quoting from "Ramanuja et la mystique vishnouite" by A.M. Esnoul.]
Merton was an American #Trappist #monk, #writer, #theologian, #mystic, #poet, #SocialActivist and #scholar of #ComparativeReligion. He became deeply interested in #EasternReligions, had been studying them closely for some time, then had a chance to travel to Asia. His Asian Journal is his account of that journey and exploration.
