🌟Magical💫Circle of 🌟Friends 🥰

. 💕⭐️Welcome to our Circle of Friends! 🙏 Happy to meet you! 🧡Our theme, if we have one, is a celebration of the innate energy of the human spirit, the happiness of friendship, the joy of unconditional love. Essentially, we want to be conscious of the true Self, unborn, undying and limitless. This is who we really are, as so many philosophies state. The Self plays in “this dewdrop world,” as the Zen poet Issa calls it— making and remaking itself into form, returning into formlessness— never really changing. The Self , your true self, unborn, undying, is what Tibetan Buddhists call “The Void Clear Light,” where form and formlessness are one. There is such suffering on this earth. Each of us must alleviate it for all beings, from the tiniest bug to the greatest elephant. This truth is the heart of life and joy! 💕It has been said, “Our job is to wake up.” To remind the Self to wake up. The Self-essence loves to play, making and remaking itself into one form after another. To become enlightened, one could say, is to awaken into the luminous awareness of our original nature, where one feels great compassion and a desire to end the suffering of all beings. At least , so it seems to some of us ⭐️🌞🍃. So we join together to experience the unity of all living things. We try to give support and caring to everyone here. 🩷❤️On Wednesdays we play meditations to uplift and sustain each of us in this difficult time in politics and in strife all over the world. Actually, all the meditations we use from the IT Library are meant to help , and we play them to remind all of us to remember the great Joy. 💙💚💛All kindly philosophies are welcome here. We are interested in many kinds of meditation. Please suggest your favorites!! 🌞Insight Timer teacher Yvonne 💕Hofstetter (here is her link, https://insig.ht/Gyd8JgypLHb) & writer Isabella Fiske McFarlin ( Ladybelle ) created this group as a place to meditate with friends and to express our creative joy ( Isabella’s memoir was outlined here for a time).
