The doctrine of divine discontent.

 "Discontent, like all else is seven-fold. In its highest aspect it may be considered "Divine," as it is an urge, almost at times audible; a challenge from the Divinity within us, to unfold and express the higher qualities... without this urge, the seed could never be more than a seed.. with the urge to change, the individual must discriminate and will the direction of his actions, hindering or helping in the unfoldment of the Divinity Within. This "Discontent" is a power, a great, vital force which we must direct, lest it disintegrate and make chaos of our seven-fold nature...Perhaps the greatest work of "Divine Discontent" is to lead us through purifying our desires to reach the desireless (for our self). Merging all personal longings in a great renunciation, we may finally be strong enough to walk the "Secret Way...And so — we may consider "Divine Discontent" as an urge to perfect expression — not for the joy of self, not to lead us to Nirvana, but that we may become ever more perfect instruments of Divinity, expressing the law of Love Eternal.

Behind him, trapped in what the Swedes call the mangata (a shimmering, roadlike reflection of the moon on water, here surely representing the final destination the gods have set him to tread upon so long ago) lies Priam's mortally wounded son, Prince Polites, who having sworn to defend his father but failed, even now in the throes of death reaches for his sword. The fighting spirit of Troy even now unbroken as it succumbs with it's dying breath. Beyond them all in the distance, so small now as to be overshadowed by the events surrounding her abduction but still physically central to the picture, is Helen of Troy; her legs crosse...

This time ( one year ago)

  With the rain came still corners and resurrection. Woke up to all day rain.. Close contact. Laid into the quiet and let the reflective carry me through deep currents from a room slain forcibly shut. But I can't stop or help what I am. My beauty will not be harmed, my shine will not be robbed. I have to rise back to the Gods. And there is love. Death has done it's worst. I am my resurrected ghost.
