“

Create for yourself a new, indomitable perception of faithfulness. What is usually called faithfulness passes so quickly. Let this be your faithfulness:

You will experience moments…. fleeting moments…. with the other person. The human being will appear to you then as if filled, irradiated with the archetype of his spirit.

And then there may be…. indeed will be…. other moments, long periods of time, when human beings are darkened. But you will learn to say to yourself at such times: “The Spirit makes me strong. I remember the archetype. I saw it once. No illusion, no deception shall rob me of it.”

Always struggle for the image that you saw. This struggle is faithfulness. Striving thus for faithfulness, we shall be close to one another, as if endowed with the protective powers of angels.

“

I see a twinkle in your eye
so this shall be my Christmas star
and I will travel to your heart
the manger where the real things are

and I will find a mother there
who holds you gently to her breast
a father to protect your peace
and by these things you shall be blessed

and you will always be reborn
and I will always see the star
and make the journey to your heart
the manger where the real things are
Leunig (Thanks for showing me this Ebba! ) xx •

Happy Inner Christmas

Digital Eskimo and the Australian Human Rights Commission have just launched the Something In Common project. The initiative incorporates an unusual double website approach; the first – Tell Me Something I Don’t Know – is a uber-sharable mouse-stopper of a microsite delivering surprising info bites like “1 in 4 retirees are living in poverty”. People can then dig deeper to learn more about the issues through inspiring videos of real Australians, take action on the issues that they feel most strongly about and tell their own story on the Something In Common website. “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” summed up an attitude that prevails in society where people are looking for new ways to creatively engage with human rights outside of traditional media.  It was this and other research-driven insights that led Digital Eskimo to develop the online strategy that underpins an exciting shift in the way the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is promoting the understanding of human rights issues through social media.

“ The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal.

“ I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new consciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation.
Dr. Albert Hoffman (via infinity-imagined)
