“I drink water, cut fruit, plunge my hands thourgh the wind’s foliage lemon trees quicken the pollen of summer days green birds cut through my dreams and I leave, my eyes filled with a boundless gaze where the world becomes beautiful again from the beginning according to the heart’s measure.”— drinking the corinthian sun, odysseus elytis

Carl Gustav Jung evaluates that the sun is an archetype of the human concept of the Self and since humanity seems to share the encodings of its common origins deep in a collective unconscious the sun archetype (just like the moon one) is common in all civilizations. It is the face of the mother as the round face of the sun in the abstract drawings of the early chidhood, it is the nourishing beginning and warmth, funnily enough the apollonian light so representative of the sun is of male characteristics; the logic that takes people out of the darkness and prejudice and introduces them to the sobriety of scientific reasoning and revelations beyond the folklore and the mythical. As formulated in classical chinese philosophy it is the yang element, the light, warm, dry, masculine principle of creation and the chinese don’t neglect to add within it a tiny seed of yin (the female element), showing more wisdom. Cause it is in the absolution of the sun element as solely manlike principle that lies the danger, the paternal figure of god commanding from up above reminding us the god of Old Testament, lacks the flexibility of compassion, it is a life giving entity but also an unforgiving one for those who dare to doubt the rules, the sun then burns without remorse for the consequences (negative sun). On another side of the coin the sun symbolism demands our attention and thoughtfulness so we can avoid the fate of Phaeton, the son of Helios, who in his attempt to bring the therapy of the light to humanity neglected to master his skills on driving the sun chariot and went down with it aflame…the sun is all seeing (pantepoptes), when asked he confesses to Demeter having witnessed the abduction of Persephone by Hades. The sun reveals the beauty of the natural world as it really is, and self-awareness showing mercy to those who have faced the cold too long and have paralysed, the flowers bloom underneath the therapeutic sun, we enjoy the playfulness of the sun rays on our skin and something awakens inside of us, we long for the long summer days. The sun can be proven ruthless at other times, showing also the decay and responsibilities, the gap or deprivation, it burns the uninitiated one…one cannot be forced to face the sun, but introduced to it slowly…provided material or spiritual sunglasses…the sun can open eyes, too much sun at once can blind…

Sublime Sun by the alchemist Robert Fludd.

Diana (From a limited 1924 edition of John Milton’s ‘Comus’)
“O ye gods of the West, O ye gods of the East, O ye gods of the South, O ye gods of the North, ye four groups who embrace the holy lands, devote ye yourselves to Osiris when he appeareth in heaven.
He shall sail into the Sky, with his son Horus by his fingers. He shall announce him, he shall make him rise up like the Great God in the Sky. They shall cry out concerning Unas: Behold Horus, the son of Osiris! Behold Unas, the firstborn son of Hathor! Behold the seed of Keb! Osiris hath commanded that Unas shall rise as a second Horus, and these Four Spirit-souls in Anu have written an edict to the two great gods in the Sky.”
-Section from the pyramid texts of Egyptian king Unas, dated to the 24th century BC. Budge translation, via Project Gutenberg.

For the year of 2016, I want to start the year off by spreading good vibes, and am asking for your support in providing 25,000 meals through the “Food For Thought” program of Caring for Cambodia, a registered 501©(3) nonprofit organization, with all funds going directly going into their account. Having travelled the world years ago when I was lost once, I learned the unique human experience of finding yourself by loving others, and I would like 2016 to be all about love, both to others and to myself. Caring for Cambodia is responsible for 21 schools in Siem Reap, providing education for children, teacher education, and health education to the local community with their “Food For Thought” program providing the Cambodian students with at least two meals per day, increasing attendance, decreasing illnesses, and ensure that the children can focus during classes.
