TRANSMISSION
Welcome to Tenebris Transmissions I suppose you could call it a blog and honestly I’m not entirely sure where I’m going with this whole thing hell I don’t know where I’m going with much of anything these days but I do know that I’m calling it TRANSMISSION, it just sounds awesome right?! I’m pretty sure for the most part this will be me rambling on about whatever is on my mind at the moment which will most likely consist of whatever books I’m reading, music I’m listening to and meditation or kriya I’m focused on. Be prepared I get really excited about inter-dimensional beings, Bigfoot(yep I believe in Bigfoot cause you know inter-dimensional beings and all) most esoteric concepts and so on and so on and so on, seriously I’m into a lot it tends to get weird and all over the place but I assure you it all comes back around and somehow makes sense(to me). There will be talk of politics and social justice so if you’re not into that this probably isn’t the place for you. In the end I suppose I’m trying to connect………..hopefully with YOU.
BIBLIOPHILE: Books I’m currently reading and or listening to: Jung’s The Red Book, not sure how I’m feeling about this yet. I honestly may be a bit bored. Just discovered I haven’t actually gotten to the book part yet just hours of peoples opinions of it and foot notes, no wonder I’m bored.
Ramit Sethi’s I will teach you to be rich, this man is a financial genius. Seriously he breaks stuff down so simply and so easy to understand. This isn’t a get rich quick book this is basic stuff you can do for the long haul to live your best financial life. I highly recommend this book and you should probably follow him on IG as well.
REVERB: Music I’m excited about this week: Stephen O’Malley released an album with Senyawa called Bima Sakti through Boomkat it’s BEAUTIFUL(I ordered the vinyl and am impatiently awaiting it)like really fucking beautiful dark ambient drone metal with a twist. Hell you should probably follow Stephen on IG I may be a bit obsessed with everything he’s doing, just trust me. He also has a show on NTS Radio which I highly recommend as well. This most recent episode is perfection. It occurs to me that in general I am easily bored and this pandemic has me EXTRA BORED so if/when I discover something that gets me excited I get really excited kind of like a kid in a candy shop.
Miss Margo Price just released an album called That’s How Rumors Get Started produced by Sturgill Simpson(I thoroughly enjoy both of these artist for exactly what they are, good ole pop country). Also for a country artist Margo is not what you would expect she is loud and opinionated about the world we live in and not afraid to tell us all about it. Oh and while you’re at it check out her husband Jeremy Ivey he just released his first album last year and it’s beautiful. I know, I know from doom metal to country seems odd but it totally makes sense to me. I could go on and on about music but I’m gonna try and reign it in. More next week!!
PRAXIS: Meditations/Kriyas I am currently doing: I am a week and a half into a 40 day kundalini immersion called Death Medicine. I chose this immersion cause well it feels like I have been slowly dying this last year TRANSFORMING.RE-BIRTHING.EXPERIENCING MY DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL
Kriyas daily are: Meditation for mental control: Meditation to control death: Meditation to ward off death these can all be found via pinklotus.org
Side Note: This immersion is intense definitely not for the faint and I’m struggling but determined to finish it.
VISUAL: Things I find aesthetically pleasing this week: The work of architect Lou Kahn. I find it transcendent maybe even spiritual, the angles and play on light make me feel goooood things and I have a soft spot for most things that came out of the Brutalist movement.
One day I’ll figure out how to link stuff on here(hopefully sooner than later)but until then google that shit! It’s probably super easy isn’t it?! Guess I should google that!
May you all be happy, healthy and whole or at least working towards it.
Much love,
Rachel
P.S. Wear a fucking mask, please and thank you.
