(134 words) ## Articles & Blog Posts - [Dark Night of the Soul 01](/3452118416/id/4184002800/index.html): Dark Night of the Soul 01 - NFT (Digital Object): The psychological experience of “Dark Nights of the Soul” are sometimes recorded as part of the contemplative’s journey. These can be short or long periods of spiritual dryness, confusion, pain, and mental fragmentation or multiplicity. What distinguishes these experiences from daily ups and downs is that they seem to come as a result of a serious spiritual practice or path. The soul feels it has genuinely chosen the good, and yet it suffers intensely – even because it chose the right path. In some traditions, these experiences of Dark Nights are interpreted as a necessary part of the development of the soul. (177 words) - [All Becomes One](/3452118416/id/4294928624/index.html): All Becomes One - NFT (Digital Object): Here it is like rain falling from the heavens into a river or a spring; there is nothing but water there and it is impossible to divide or separate the water belonging to the river from that which fell from the heavens. Or it is as if a tiny streamlet enters the sea, from which it will find no way of separating itself, or as if in a room there were two large windows through which the light streamed in: it enters in different places but all becomes one. (160 words) - [Nibbana](/3452118416/id/4294908144/index.html): Nibbana - NFT (Digital Object): He turns his mind away from those states and directs it towards the deathless element thus: This is the peaceful, this is the sublime, that is, the stilling of all formations, the relinquishing of all attachments, the destruction of craving, dispassion, cessation, Nibbana. (112 words) - [Yoga](/3452118416/id/4294926576/index.html): Yoga - NFT (Digital Object): Yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind. When that is accomplished, the seer abides in its own true nature. (92 words) - [Self](/3452118416/id/4294930672/index.html): Self - NFT (Digital Object): When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place. In the still mind, in the depths of meditation, the Self reveals itself.

This series contains descriptions, both ancient and modern, of the meditative experience of the Absolute. (850 words) - [anthonyc](/anthonyc/p/1909947097/index.html): The stages of spiritual development from a Zen Buddhist perspective are sometimes represented by a series of images called the Zen Ox-Herding Pictures, also sometimes referred to in their totality as In Search of the Missing Ox. The Ox in the series is traditionally interpreted through the Mahayana concept of Tathagata-Garbha – “Buddha-Nature” or “Buddha-Womb.” The Tathagatagharba is commonly seen as inherent in each individual, and represents either our potential to become a Buddha, or our already inherent Buddha Nature, which only needs to be realized. The Tathagatagharba is also referred to within Zen as one’s True or Original Nature. Many contemplative traditions contain one or more “maps of spiritual development” – designed, among other things, to lead one toward authentic selflessness. The pieces here represent the third stage in the Zen Series, in which one “catches a glimpse” of the Ox.

The piece is sometimes thought of as being stronger and more beautiful after it has been broken and repaired than it was originally. This series is a collection of human likenesses, which have been broken and repaired using digital kintsugi. The concept is related to Cistercian monk Thomas Keating’s understanding of “The Divine Therapy,” which emphasizes the possibility of psychological healing through meditative practice from a Christian perspective.
