often called a grey crow in ireland in irish mythology crows and ravens are strongly associated with battle death prophecy and sovereignty their most important connection is with the morrígan a complex war goddess who appears in forms such as morrígan badb and macha she is often linked with the crow or raven especially as a figure who hovers over battlefields foretells death or appears after slaughter the name badb itself is closely associated with the scald crow or battle crow crows therefore carry a double meaning they are ominous birds of the battlefield feeding among the dead but they are also prophetic and liminal creatures moving between the ordinary world and the world of gods fate and the dead in some tales the crow is not merely a symbol of death but a sign that human affairs are being viewed from a deeper mythic order so in the irish imagination the crow is a bird of thresholds between life and death human conflict and divine judgment the visible world and the unseen

the sensorium because it does not wait at the edge of attention vision can be turned away from touch is usually localised smell and taste depend upon proximity but sound enters the whole surrounding field it comes from behind from above from another room from beyond the visible it does not simply appear as an object before us it arrives as an event in open attention this makes sound especially revealing open attention is not the narrow inspection of one thing but a receptive widening of the field sound already behaves like such a field it arises vibrates changes decays and disappears to hear is to be placed inside unfolding time keep reading consciousness book of sand 6 notes may 7th 2026 open in app facebook tweet reddit mail embed permalink liber arenae liber arenae stabilising open attention open attention is not a special state that has to be forced into existence it is a way of allowing experience to appear without immediately narrowing around one object one thought or one concern it becomes stable not through strain but through a suitable arrangement of body environment and intention the body matters an upright but unforced posture gives attention a quiet dignity the body should not suggest sleep but neither should it suggest defence the shoulders jaw face hands and belly can soften the aim is to sit stand or walk as though nothing needs to be seized yet nothing is being abandoned keep reading consciousness book of sand 8 notes may 1st 2026 open in app facebook tweet reddit mail embed permalink liber arenae liber arenae the weave silence and stillness are not only before and after events but present within them silence is not abolished by sound rather sound is a modulation within silence a bell ringing does not destroy silence as such it articulates a portion of the field while the surrounding quiet remains and indeed makes the ringing perceptible as ringing without that quiet field there would be no contrast no shape no intelligibility to the sound at all the same is true of stillness motion is usually treated as the opposite of stillness but motion can be seen instead as patterned variation within a more fundamental immobility a dancer moves through space but the very possibility of that movement presupposes a background of stability even within the movement there are moments of suspension poise balance and coherence that are not reducible to mere transit stillness is not simply where motion stops it is also what gives motion form keep reading consciousness book of sand 16 notes apr 21st 2026 open in app facebook tweet reddit mail embed permalink liber arenae liber arenae silence and stillness ii all comes out of silence and returns to stillness at the most immediate level this points to the relation between manifestation and ground what appears in experience sound movement thought sensation speech action arises within a prior openness that does not itself press forward as an object silence here is not merely the absence of noise it is the quiet field in which anything can appear at all stillness likewise is not merely the absence of bodily motion it is that which does not itself hurry

art there are seven incarnations and six correlates necessary to becoming an artist explorer courage surveyor vision miner strength refiner patience designer intelligence maker experience artist first you must leave the safety of your home and go into the dangers of the world whether to an actual territory or some unexamined aspect of the psyche this is what is meant by explorer next you must have the vision to recognize your destination once you arrive there note that a destination may sometimes also be the journey this is what is meant by surveyor third you must be strong enough to dig up facts follow veins of history unearth telling details this is what is meant by miner fourth you must have the patience to winnow and process your material into something rare this may take months or even years and this is what is meant by refiner fifth you must use your intellect to conceive of your material as something meaning more than its origins this is what is meant by designer six you must fashion a work independent of everything that has gone before it including yourself this is accomplished through experience and is what is meant by maker at this stage the work is acceptable you will be fortunate to have progressed so far it is unlikely however that you will go any farther most do not but let us assume you are exceptional let us assume you are rare what then does it mean to reach the final incarnation only this at every stage from 1 thru 6 you will risk more see more gather more process more fashion more consider more love more suffer more imagine more and in the end know why less means more and leave what doesn t and keep what implies and create what matters this is what is meant by artist from the architecture of art by cassandra rissman larue 1971 p 139 quoted in house

not speaking or not moving more often they name conditions in which something deeper becomes evident the ground of consciousness the divine beyond images the real before conceptual division or the hidden order obscured by agitation silence can be understood in three senses it may mean outward quiet inward quiet or that higher silence which belongs to what exceeds language itself stillness has a similar range it may mean bodily repose emotional composure contemplative calm or the unmoving depth beneath all movement in both cases what matters is not negation for its own sake but disclosure
