The Corpus Hermeticum dated from the 1st to 3rd C. A good explanation of the text of text : to be god is to take a living and breathing look at the Universe as your own mountainous body. Image of figure under a nebula like star filled sky.
A #Sane_Making morning here on #TheHappyPlanet with reading about the “Corpus Hermeticum”, 7 principles of hermeticism, & how my understanding of Taoism well companions it all.

Small, cumulative changes in a complex systems can build up unnoticed, eventually causing a seemingly *sudden*, chaotic, & drastic shift.

Image of barbed wire with part of the wire twisted into a heart shape – soft focus background, with song lyrics: "…like a barbed-wire fence Strung tight, strung tense, Prickling with pretense, a borderline. “You snipe so steady You snub so snide So ripe and ready To diminish and deride … All you deface, all you defend Is just a borderline…” Joni Mitchell, Borderline

Lest we never forget what planet this is:
“…just the strong doing what they can,
and the weak suffering what they must.
And the gas leaks, and the oil spills,
And sex sells everything,
And sex kills.”

I fell down a blessèd #PaulSimon rabbit hole this mornin.
If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow
Or even the windblown dust
Find me on the ancient road
In the song when the wires are hushed …
… The earth is blue.
Everything about it is a love song. 🎵🖤🎵

We human beings likely sang before we spoke.
There are cultures that regard singing as such an act of awe that they have creation myths telling that they were sung into existence.

“I can work this out
I can fight through the pain
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel
then again it could be the train
I can work this out
nothing's holding me back there's hope on the horizon or maybe the earth's just flat”

If I Could Tell You by W. H. Auden Time will say nothing but I told you so, Time only knows the price we have to pay; If I could tell you I would let you know. If we should weep when clowns put on their show, If we should stumble when musicians play, Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although, Because I love you more than I can say, If I could tell you I would let you know. The winds must come from somewhere when they blow, There must be reasons why the leaves decay; Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow, The vision seriously intends to stay; If I could tell you I would let you know. Suppose all the lions get up and go, And all the brooks and soldiers run away; Will Time say nothing but I told you so? If I could tell you I would let you know. • W. H. Auden

“Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know …”
