Fairy Tale: The Red Shoes
StandardWho would have thought a new pair of shoes could cause so much grief? Shoes are a tool for folks that live in Northern climates and keep feet sunburn free in Southern climates. Footwear, at times is vital to a person’s survival. Shoes keep our feet warm, dry and injury free. Evolving over time, shoes became a fashion statement to wear first by royals and wealthy people and later was available to the everyday person.
This story has a moral weaved throughout it vanity may become ones own undoing.

How important is it to be a less and less blemished witness?
StandardA Glimpse of Heaven: The Philosophy of True Health
Playing the Part of the Less & Less Blemished Witness Guided Imagery:
All types of meditative guided imagery can fit under the heading of being a ‘less and less blemished witness’, albeit this meditative witnessing is a form of general guided imagery and can be utilized in almost any context or setting.
Being a less and less blemished witness, as unto itself a succinct guided imagery practice as such, is focusing (not thinking) on or about one thing or two or three things, e.g., with regard to witnessing just exactly what one is doing at any given time, ideally nothing more any nothing less. This meditative witnessing is the ‘sword’ (h’ou t’ou) that cuts out, erases thinking and/or cyclical thinking, so that one can eventually learn to genuinely (without fooling oneself) empty one’s mind completely. That said and yin to yang and yang to yin, even if one truly learns…

« Vivre c’est souffrir, survivre c’est trouver un sens à sa souffrance. »
« To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. »
« Leben heißt leiden, um zu überleben, um einen Sinn im Leiden zu finden »
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) a d’abord été professeur (d’origine allemande) de philologie à l’université de Bâle avant de se tourner vers la philosophie. S’il a été peu connu ou reconnu de son vivant, son influence demeure aujourd’hui encore importante. Il a également écrit des œuvres de jeunesse, des poèmes, a été pianiste et compositeur… A partir de 1889, il souffre de démence et meurt en 1900 dans un état mental végétatif.
