Sun Gazing...Devotion

Been experimenting with Sun gazing.

It's been rather cloudy of late so difficult to do to full extent.

At sunset I go to the beach, take of my shoes, stand bare foot on the sand, say a prayer and bow to the Sun, then I gaze at the Sun.

When I've done it for awhile I will talk more here about the results.

To me its a delight to cut away all manner of things that have outlived their usefulness. I'm not sentimental about the past.

I never once looked back fondly on a period of my life and thought "ghee I wish that summer of 89 never ended"...

I'm glad it ended! Cause whenever I grow into a new skin, I couldn't care less about the old one!

And anyway... If it was so 'great' it wouldn't of ended..... only the eternal is so great it never ends. Why try to make the impermanent the eternal? When it clearly isn't????

Where I am at the current moment is always better then where I was in the past, when new things enter my mindstream and lay waste to old ideas, I welcome it. The funeral pyre is a happy place...

My favourite current prayer:

"I offer myself as a conscious sacrifice to the Divine fires of transformation".

Oh it feels really primal to chant the name Osiris, in a real low base-y voice. Which is what my last post was about, as I had made a promise that I needed to keep, sometimes I feel there are just too many deities to relate to in one day!!!! I just want to have as many bases covered as possible. And not only that, I feel my life force just gravitating towards certain ones.

Ideal shrine:

Rock formations that relate to different astrological bodies, or important calendar dates etc.

Creating out in some natural environment, a field where in each direction is the domain of the corresponding planet, and having in that space, things pertaining to that planet. Such as the foods relating to each, colours, deities, symbols, geometric patterns etc
