"The Astral Temple" by Kolessa is music inspired by those landmarks placed and acquired within, and revisited at just the right time.

****************************************************

"There are times when you do not recognize a well traveled road.

Sometimes this happens at the beginning of a journey, as you stare down a path or into a black and rippling surface. It is less about the information you have extracted from this void and more about how you react to it.

Sometimes you will look back on a road you have just walked and think, 'I know that I have walked this road before, but not today.'

Sometimes it is as though your journey is a deck of cards that someone is constantly reordering as you walk. Up is sometimes not up. South sometimes not south.

In these moments you will benefit from the shape holding practice we've discussed before. You have been working on that, haven't you? Like R____ said, the pentagram is strongest here, but anything you can clearly see, or can at least clearly describe yourself seeing, will help you find your way.

All this is only helpful if getting back to familiar ground is, in fact, your goal. I have always thought the journey is more enjoyable once you accept that all ground is, from a certain height or perspective, equally unfamiliar."
