I was chatting with a Medicine brother the other day and shared my love of symbols and images. “I’m using my favorite symbol, the Unalome, as my logo,” he says. I ask, “Where can I see it?” He tells me the link and wistfully says, “I don’t know why this website exists. There’s no purpose for it.”
I’m glad it exists, and I told him so.
The Unalome is a Buddhist symbol that represents the path to enlightenment and each individual's transcendence on this planet. It represents our existence on this material dimension and awareness of our path in life. This path begins at the center of a spiral and patterns repeat until we clear the patterns of attachment until we free ourselves from cycles of suffering. The dots represent death or completion of a journey.
Back in 2018, I wrote a book called The Abundance Prophecy. I am reworking it right now for an update. Because I want to see where my consciousness at the time was, and also to compare to the evolution of my current perspectives. A friend at the time drew this logo for me on a canvas using a black sharpie and sent me this image. She actually sent it to me inverted and I flipped it for my book.
Interestingly, that friend has completely vanished from my life, with this symbol eerily representing that cycle.
It is somewhat conventional wisdom these days that consistency is the key to developing skills and abilities. Change one’s habits, change one’s life. Fix the things you repeat every day.
It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey.
Every day.
Every Day
I had to ponder a little. Consistency is the path to mastery. So simple yet so hard. I wonder if the signpost on my path got switched, and then switched again over and over, to the point now were the mere act of showing up every day at a single task seems impossible.
I seriously need to find the path and self-discipline. My dreams tell me so. I had a dream last night, very vivid, some very strong representations present. One was a old friend from my early teen years was there. He is not a friend now, and when I think about it, never actually was. Second he lived in dirty rickety old house with overgrown garden, just a mess the whole place. I was there trying to get and old moped started. It would not, the starter motor ran but I could not get the scooter to turn over. I located a vacuum hose and explained this was critical and ask why and where he had removed it. I could not fit it back into place where.
Could it be more obvious? I have forgotten how to do the work. I know what is missing but can't quite muster the energy to get after it. And I know if I don't great pain will be in the near future.
That is a beautiful symbol!
