In this excerpt from one of Josh’s Patreon study group calls, he elucidates how each element of creation, from a humble leaf to a weathered stone, encapsulates the story of the entire cosmos.
So the tale of each stone contains within it the saga of mountains, tectonic plates, and the Earth itself. To fathom the magnitude of creation, one must acknowledge the infinite expanse encapsulated within each focal point. Every stone, every branch, serves as a gateway to the universe’s core, awaiting exploration through attentive contemplation. Through ritualistic practices, humanity endeavors to forge connections with the infinite. Engaging in repetitive acts, such as dancing and singing, ignites the transformative journey through focus on a single point. As the mind surrenders to the rhythmic cadence, the singular point becomes a portal to the eternal. Thus, the advanced technology of ritual serves as a conduit to the living heart of nature.
