"One set of numbers, the transcendentals, is not as well known. Paradoxically, these numbers are both plentiful and exceedingly difficult to find. And their history is intertwined with a question that plagued mathematicians for millennia: Using only a compass and a straightedge, can you draw a square with the same area as a given circle?"

Tivadar Csontváry was a #Hungarian #painter of the 19th & 20th centuries. His work, characterized by a blend of #symbolism & #realism, continues to be celebrated for its introspective and #imaginative qualities. "Lonely Cedar" is probably his most celebrated #painting picturing a solitary tree standing in a #mystical landscape.

Had the fortune to see it in person. It transports one to its own, #transcendental world.

Recently, its found real-life #inspiration. Use DeepL:

Listening to Issei Herr's debut album, Distant Intervals, while the sun sets, the temperature drops but we're eating ice cream, and dozens of #rooks circle, stalk and caw around our caravan. It's cinematic and uplifting... somewhat #transcendental I suppose.

Meditations - attachment, expectations 2-27-23

She said "I hold no attachment to outcome", and in your mind your jaw dropped. Wow. Truly, she doesn't. Truly, no disappointment, no frustration at plans changing, true acceptance of event, of timing, of other people.
She said "we have these expectations of others, and when they don't meet them we suffer" and the words struck chords deep within. It's true, you think, looking around you. We do that. I do that.
We can truly only control the within, and that a feat reliant on the understanding that we cannot exert control externally. We can control some things: some aspects of our environment, for example, but otherwise we can truly only control ourselves.
Our habits, our reactions, our internal framing, our words, our thoughts, our actions and so on.
Imagine moving with rather than against the rapids. Imagine allowing yourself to allow others to be themselves, to be their way, to do what they will.
And inter-relationship expectations must be communicated, consented to, never forced, they cannot exist only in the mind of one party, no punishment or pettiness can exist for unmet expectations.
There can only be walking away, or acceptance.
You must let go.
You must let go.
You cannot fight every person that is "bad". You cannot control the thoughts, beliefs, prejudices or habits of others.
You can only control yourself. You MUST control yourself.
That is the only meaningful way to change an environment. The only meaningful intent.
You must let go.
Release.

@StretchCT Whenever we visit western #Ireland we try to stop by this spot. Amazing place. #Transcendental

Using the same meditation technique day in and day out is like driving to the airport, but refusing to get out of the car. Yes, the car got you to the airport, but you’ll need to leave it behind if you ever wish to make your overseas destination.

As straightforward as this logic is, there are still many people using the same static meditation technique every day.
