Sometimes a quote or phrase 'grabs' one and its sticks in mind although one may not understand it or its meaning it seems to resonate somewhere in the psyche and may linger for some while.
There are two that I set out; ' Mountain Spirits, who walk the wind, Guide me on the path of resilience and determination'. This feels very ancient an old tribal of some ethnic race in the mountains who felt the banshees or spirits rode the turbulent mountain winds, the snows and challenges that the high mountain passes and valleys with crevasses challenged them and they sort of surfed them and went with the winds thermals and so on they felt the waves and rode them and this seemed to me a lesson on riding the difficulties and fears, the anxieties, set backs and some disasters in ones life. I felt that instead of fighting the tides of opposition and currents too strong for my body and seeming inevitable, I could surrender the hard thoughts of doubt and fear and try to relax and let the fear subside by watching and sensing the undercurrents that offered a way out of the dilemma even it meant going along with the waves and winds until a way out spontaneously and miraculously appeared.
The resilience was somewhat physical and not so much a determined will power but a gathering and building up to trust in the 'deep feel' by an inner relaxation from anxiety and angst. A sort of letting go as was felt appropriate for that circumstance presented. The determination was an inner 'knowing' by riding the winds that it is all is well even through the darkest storm and riding it out was the determination not by will and fear but relaxing and trusting in the deep intuitive feel in the quietest atmosphere that one could engender by being as still and quiet as possible.
The second one; May the sacred waters cleanse my soul. And the the fires of transformation forge my spirit. By waters it feels like the flow of awareness, qi, kundalini, dreylas and the flow and buzz I feel as life evolves and courses through me like a river of light, the feel of aliveness, the specks of energy(dreylas) buzzing and pulsing everything is alive even the bed and chair this seems to be food for my soul and cleanses the scum of the harshness of the world, everything thing seems pristine and pure.
Sometimes the 'heat and cold' of the energy cascading through me raises my awareness to a joy and nourishes my spirit to such an extent that I feel invincible, not so much physically but as a spiritual energy being and my earthly fears are 'burnt up and dissolved' not by meditation alone or qi gong or prayer but by being still and feeling beneath the surface of thought to a stillness that beckons and invites me to rest replenish the soul and let the body just rest and do its thing.
These two quotes seem to suggest very ancient and in past experiences that built up the the now of my many lives journey, not so much the incarnations but the nuances that shaped the lives to be.
