I am so happyyou chose to join perhaps the most obscure yet deeply caring club on the internet—my newsletter community.
I say community because, though you cannot see one another, you all share exquisite qualities with one another…
To name a few… You are each uniquely kind in how you reflect upon our world, you each have an intuition that -even if you have not always heeded ;-) we can all be that way- you hear and recognize it as vital on your life path, and you have each have expressed your care and curiosity for our shared humanity.
So again BIG WECOME, I really am so honored you have allowed me in your space.
In case I am new to you…
I am a Humanist Philosopher, Phenomena in methodology, which means my life's work, devotion and study is of the mechanisms within our essential nature; with the ultimate goal of our wholeness, dignity and well being. Phenomena refers my centering on the our subconscious through my own work the human bio-energy field - On rare occasions I offer Aura portrait / readings with my workIllumine Being.
As a Gemologist, G.I.A. (Gemological Institute of America) my specialty is the classification and identification of gems and minerals using specialized equipment which; has the ability to see 40 x into the material structure, observe how light moves / bends through gem material and, and views trace chemicals responsible for the chromature of a material.
One day.. I will share how my studies in Gemology partner with my human Auric study.
Jupiter Lala fine jewelry is the integration and manifestation of these rich fields into golden and gem form to hold in your hands, and for psychologically resonant talismans dedicated to your life journey.
My hope through this is you may feel the persuasions of your essence that are both inherently human and deeply unique to you.
You are unique, you are rare, and my ultimate goal is creating more comfort and space for you to enjoy being You, wonderful, rare, YOU.
Side note:
A quick outline of this note for you. It is ultra essential to me that what flows from me to your mind is all fully consensual - an outline allows you better choose what you participate in.
1) Belonging, and it's nuances in loneliness and meaning.
2) Create Belonging
3) Discount, Holiday plan ~ If you're just here for the discount, I don't blame you ;-) You'll wanna scroll all the way to the end to the BOLD,GREEN section.
And now we go onward…
*To those of you who are new-is to me my writing style is quirky - I use my prepositions and conjunctions pretty funky, some thoughts may need a double take.
Something rather phenomenal occurred for me last week. As many of you bore witness my 90+ hours of writing / editing were vanquished the fires of internet servers.
I laid on the floor having an anxiety attack, I sobbed and I ranted into the “stories” then sheepishly deleted - yes, embarrassing and true.
BUT then, YOU 💗
Thoughtful, beaming, effervescent YOU ✨
SO many of you wrote that you were so sorry - thank you 🌹 Wrote that my notes mean something to you; whether it was inspiration, companionship, a voice that resonated your own queries into the mystery of our experience here on earth…
YOU reminded ME of my own place in the universe.
SOB. literally.
I GET IT now
I GET what it is I am pressing up against in the conversations of our Belonging.
That it is vital intrinsic to our nature for Being itself. But first, as with shadow giving light it's definition, our emotions are a reflection of that universal law…
The dark horse defining the space of Belonging is Loneliness.
There are Evolutionary foundations for our loneliness…
We humans have numerous mechanisms in place for our physical needs such as thirst, hunger or sleep. When we are lonely it is an indicator to tend to our social needs.
Evolutionarily speaking this grew to be intwined with our physical needs, in millennia's past our survival depended upon how connected we were. We developed skills around anticipating needs in one another like empathy and compassion and we modified our behaviors to remain accepted in our social groups.
The term“Social Pain”,refers to internal mechanism that tells us we are doing something wrong and could be expelled from our society.
This is why rejection and denial hurt so much, even today.
Yet, in the following centuries humans have become less dependent on one another for survival and more dependent on work, we began moving away from our circles to more fiscally desirable locations.
We began satiating our social pleasure with new media then internet and social media.
When time pressures of work or education constrain us we are oft forced to forsake our personal lives, creating imbalance within us.So as we find ourselves further evolved from a survival need for one another, our loneliness lingers on.
To “Belong” simply means “to have an affinity” for a place or group.
But looking at the word…
To “Be” + Longing, = exist with distance - “Long” is a measurement of space.
To feel an eased sense of Belonging, we must resign our selves to a state of longing.
The closer we grow with another is simply the more comfortable we have become with the perpetual state of distance which will exist between us. We can never truly know even our deepest connections truest mind, we can only perhaps empathize through our perspective into theirs, learn of their stories, how they feel and perhaps Be Okay with the immense space existing between us with love and trust.
Atensionas old as human kind itself, that we are a many but we are alone, that we accept our separateness while integral in the everything.
We are all created of this universes fundamental building blocks, yet will experience but a infinitesimal speck of it's greatness. Perhaps that greatness has left a tiny divet, a minuscule smudge on each of our particles as the corse of our yearning.
How can we not be lonely? How can we not see we are utterly precious?
Which brings us to my most elusive conclusion…
That this sense of “Belonging” we most deeply crave is with / within our own Being
and a reflection of our own place in the universe.
Our outer world is a constantly shifting landscape, seasons of atmospheres and seasons of friendships, our children grow up, our beloved animals grow old. Our inner most selves are arduously and constantly demanded to recalibrate and transform
to ever changing surroundings.
We are ever Be-ing and Be-coming in a shapeshifting universe.
The act of orientating ones self to a moment, to our world in concert with existing in alliance with our selves is a most elusive act. For Humans our sense of Being is ephemeral, temporal, in a constant state of transformation.
We can never master a transformation as it's nature is a folding into an unknown, one must always be in surrender - “Be-ing” in a state of Longing for that which we Belong.
We ARE miraculously LIVING pieces of the universe.
We ARE Rare, and each one of is a gateway to our whole expansive cosmos and one another.
Though losing all my thoughts still has me feeling a bit adrift, yet what I gained was a whole perspective on just how much of our very selves we create.
I awoke with a note in my mind today:
“You have lost nothing, you have gained space.”
Space is the void we create in. And in this void I would like to create a little Belonging with you, learn a little of one another's nuance and essential nature.
I have generated a list of either / or's. They have no agenda, they tell me nothing but simple nuances of you. My hope is a more yet weightless connection with you predicated in amusement and ease. ;-)
You can just copy / paste your list into the ‘reply" button. If you’d like to share more feel free, also feel free to keep scrolling to your discount code lol.
Holiday planning, it may seem wildly early to mention but I am gonna put this out here now. The above code is the sum of my Holiday promotion this year.
It's a substantial code, and will only be shared here with you. I appreciate the time we share here, that you have joined me here is incredibly meaningful to me. You are deserving of my care, my gratitude and my honor ~ and you have it ;-)
Why? not just do things the regular way?
I have given this so much thought this year and for the nearly 24 years of my life in jewelry, including the 9 years of Jupiter Lala.
My birthday is early December, and by then I am consumed… Shipping, Skype appointments, building jewelry until 4 am., stressing about being / doing enough.
I need life to be different than that, I take on full blown anxiety attacks and fall trap to being incredibly unkind to myself through the exhaustion.
I don't believe any of our lives should be that way.
After all, isn't it the point to create a life that heals us from the one
we have led on auto pilot?
I believe one ginormous responsibility of creators is to create new possibilities.
I can spend all year on the gram and these letters hypothesizing how we humans can change our world, heal our lives then yearly fall into this pattern that harms me - how can I build trust with you that way? And essentially how would that further trust with my self? Both your trust and my own are vital to me.
"If we want to create a life other than the one we have,
NOVEMBER 8th, is the very last day to order jewelry for Christmas delivery.
I will send you another note ;-) just as a winky face reminder, with a new jewel or two.
Other than that I will be savoring my first year in over half my life, just living, existing and enjoying the magic in the winter air.
🌟
This note was not what I had intended, even a little choppier than I normally create.
I will not always be able to muster up my greatest self, most succinct self, but I can promise you that you will always receive my most real and true self.
I will say and always mean, feel free to tap that REPLY button and let me know what's on your mind. I am not swift to respond - that's never personal lol, but I always love to learn what you think and how you are living.
Thank you immensely for being here and as always take good care of yourselves.
