Introducing diji Sanctuary & OmPrithvi
A Vision born out of my passion for capturing emotionally resonant experiences. A space dedicated to cultivating strong purpose, where love and connection between humans take center stage. Uniquely designed sanctuary, an immersive expression offering classes ranging from somatic breathwork, to sound bathing by day, and ecstatic dance by night, with alchemized food and beverages and a strong emphasis on music and interior design. Each part of the space has its own theme, meaning, and story, carefully woven together in perfect unity. Built from raw sustainable materials and infused with communal intention. With our mother roots, 30 acres of land in Kingsbury, TX located within a 40 min drive from Austin. OmPrithvi serves as our base. Cultivating a sustainable-regenerative farmland and a loving connection. Our land, Manipura, is currently available for all events. Filled to the brim with all the bells and whistles, such as Infrared sauna, and cold plunge to cabins and a full production music setup. More information coming very soon!

Last but not least, we will be adding some of our favorite poems of the week, spanning through multiple thought principles. Plus, a poem written by yours truly.
Spiral Dynamics
Spiral Dynamics is a psychological development model that was created by Dr. Clare Graves, Don Beck and Chris Covan. They dove into the evolution of human consciousness, both individually and collectively, through a series of stages and is based on decades of complex thought provoking research. The emphasis on life conditions as essential to the progression through value systems is unusual among similar theories, and leads to the view that no level in inherently positive or negative, but rather a response to the local environment, social circumstances, and place/time. Through these value systems groups and cultures structure their societies, and individuals integrate within them. Each distinct set of values is develops as a response to solving the problems of the previous system. Spiral Dynamics is best categorized in a color coded pyramid structure. It can be broken down into two factors, from the base to the top, life conditions, and mind coping capacities.
Survival - Instinctive
Security - Animistic
Power - Egocentric
Order - Absolutistic
Success - Multiplistic
Community - Relativistic
Synergy - Systemic
Holism - Holistic
As always, we like to lay down the foundation here. Give a view into thought groups, and invite you to create your reality where you see fit. Below I have recommended some books, and great research articles where you can further explore Spiral Dynamics and come to your own interpretations. We are always open to discussing and sharing our beliefs, just ask!
The Law of One
Have you ever gazed up at the stars and wondered about life beyond earth? Or contemplated life in the spirit world? Maybe one who reads this might be looking to perceive reality from an alternative point of view or perhaps one might feel they may not want to conform to society, culture, a religion, or simply what there education has taught them or still is.
If you feel that may be you or are simply looking for inspiration that could expand your creativity or perception of life. Then allow me to introduce you to the teachings of RA and the Law of One.
What is the Law of One?
This is a volume of books that are transcripts recorded from what is known as a channeling. This means an individual that is able to establish a psychic connection or relationship with a being that could be considered an extra terrestrial, astral entity, or spirit. The channeling was unique in which it took place in the early 1980’s between three people Karla, Don, and Jim. Karla would go into a trance state in order to channel “RA”. Don was the interviewer that would ask questions in relation to what Ra would want to share with humanity as well as off topic questions in which Ra would may or may not answer depending on the circumstances of the information imposing on our free will. Jim played a key supportive role through his own meditative state during the channeling by sending positive energy to Karla while she was in trance. Over several years they recorded the audio of “Ra” speaking through Karla and transcribed it into a volume of books of the wisdom and teachings that Ra wished to share with all of humanity on earth.
At the heart of The Law of One is the central philosophical principle: Unity and Oneness. It states that all life, matter, and energy in the universe are interconnected, forming a infinite tapestry of existence. This principle challenges us to recognize that separation is an illusion, and division is an incomplete perspective. We are not isolated beings; we are threads in the fabric of an everflowing energy, each with a unique role in the greater cosmic drama.
This concept gives us perspective. To embrace empathy, compassion, connection and love as the guiding forces in our lives. By recognizing the unity of all, we unlock the potential for a more harmonious world.
Who is “RA”?
Well “Ra” is an extra terrestrial viewed from our collective perception and then further describes itself in the books as a positive polarized sixth density being with a social memory complex. Density is an interesting concept to get into. This is common among E.T.’s using our language to reference a state of consciousness and to be clear these are not dimensions, they are densities. As within the collective the majority may be in a state of 3D or 3rd Density consciousness. As one gains more awareness we expand into other states of awareness such as 4D, 5D, 6D, and so on. We can be in the present moment in any of these states of consciousness. A quick preview into densities according to “Ra” can be found here.
The question to ask oneself is what state is one aware in any given present moment and at what does one want to maintain their consciousness at. Which then requires full integration or embodiment of that density into your being. If that alone sparks your interest then you may of just been destined to read this and dive deeper.
My personal synopsis - Nathan Morrison
As an individual who has been researching and investigating many interests throughout my journey in life. Law of One in particular impacted me in a way that greatly expanded my perceptions of reality and other people. It’s jammed pack with wisdom and guidance of how to possibly heal yourself, discover who and what you truly are, what we as humans are potentially capable of, an understanding of metaphysics, and simply how to be a more empathetic loving human being. This material is something I presently and will continue to alway introduce to people as I believe it may or could impact your life in a radically positive way!
Conclusion from diji
Ra, and the Law of One is a profound piece of work. It falls into esoteric thought. And can be a tough but interesting concept to grasp. Many may feel a bit skeptical, and feel like their beliefs are being flipped on their head with the thought that, every force of life is one, the whole of universal energy is a vast system that is ever expanding and contrasting, collapsing on itself and breathing all simultaneously as one, with an infinite amount of facets and moving parts. At first it can truly be a lot, but as you go further down the rabbit hole, you notice that it feels intuitively correct. That it resonates deep down in a place where you can’t comprehend. Synchronicities start to form and your mind becomes blown into a million pieces that are all apart of one. So with that being said, we invite you to come to your own conclusions and deep dive into that massive amount of knowledge that is nestled away in the Law of One.

Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.
As an artist, with a powerful, ever-flowing, raging, soft, kind, crazy, creative spirit inside us. We share a polarity, of positive and negative, calm and hectic. At times you can feel on top of the world, catapulting straight into flow state and creating something that blows your own mine. You say to yourself, holy sh*t, I didn’t know I was that nice with it. Other times you pour your heart and soul into something, for it to be “Eh, well that felt like a waste of time”. It’s okay to feel the vast range of feelings, that’s what makes a creative, creative. We feel into our emotions, our energy and express ourselves how we see fit. And sometimes we hit a block. It can feel impossible to move through it, like your getting pushed by a wall when there is already one behind you. Just remember in times like this, it’s okay to feel, once you accept your feeling, you can start to create a new reality, and remember, that feeling does not represent your creative spirit, something that can’t be capped, a ravishing free flowing energy that is inside us all. Start from square one, build yourself back up, learn from each step, and shine.
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.
The universe will reward you for taking risks on it’s behalf.
Deep into my history, are memories, that are no longer memories, a blank slate wiped clean. Love or hate, feeling into it. Where did they go, deep reflection, self-analyzed in retrospection. Where did this trauma come from. A mystery. I will make it my goal to remember. It’ll come soon. Dancing under the moon. Being in the now, at some point it has to come around. As long as I feel safe and sound. A strange situation, deja vu, something to trigger a memory of me and you. Does that mean you’re the after thought? Why do the old memories feel like they were left in the shelves of my brain to rot.
The things I was taught, the gifts you brought. I’m so tired of trying to remember, concluding with a remark, “fu*k I forgot”. The history of myself, a book put away up on the highest shelf. I found it dusted it off, opened, and fanned through the pages, the faded ink giving clues to what was lost. soft pages in between my fingertips, dancing the night away harvesting energy in the hips. I will recover what was lost, the childhood trauma that feels like like an ice cube in my throat is something I will always work to defrost.
Our inner child, is an expression that is very much so, always in the background programs of our subconscious. As humans, our brain creates ways of coping through trauma, and there are numerous ways of doing that. Personally I found that childhood traumas, memories of the beginnings seemed like they were so distant the taste of them was completely foreign, nearly non-existent. And I say nearly, because nothing is ever lost. What has happened can be found, with enough searching. And from that we get to transmute that energy into a powerful connection of our subconscious and conscious minds.
Here is the first painting I ever did, a play on the absence of memories and the detachment from childhood traumas. It’s a dark piece but not all dark is negative. From this blank space, the quantum realm lies, and from there all is at our brain tips. With unlimited power to call in any frequency we desire.
Thank you for letting me be vulnerable
Reflect on these quotes with me, do they resonate, if so, how so? Let me know!
Inspiration is important, personally it drives me as a creative, in business, visual arts and life. I have carefully crafted 10 images that are purely beautiful, in my subjective opinion…
