What is the 5th House?

In thy mansion,  there are many houses.

there are at least 12 houses that the sages are willing to discuss, in which the Bodhisattva's reside, as they journey from earth, to the extended realms and beyond.

the 5th house of dharma is that of energy and persistence. it is a house where the weary can gather their strength and prepare for the next task ahead.

the path to redemption or perdition is the same, equally long and fraught with perils. as we all have our reasons for rebirth and personal karma to attend to.

thankfully, the Bodhisattva's remain, to light our way, who guard the doors, and tend the fire within the great hearth, so that our embers are kept from quietly burning out during the dark nights of the soul.

this blog is one attempt to remember the direction from whence we fled, and chart a course thru the dark thickets and forests of samsahra.

 here you will find an assortment of online articles and references randomly archived for independent study.
credit and resources will be provided wherever appropriate.

we are not here to convince you or persuade anyone to think a certain way. we offer this to clarify the path down the rabbit hole as far as we are willing to tread.

If you have free will, prove it and make up your own damn mind.
it is said,
that there are many paths but only one mountain,
There are many mountains, but only one sky,
there maybe many skies but only one mind,
there maybe many minds but only one thought.

within this thought, one will come to know the divine.
conversely,
within this one thought, there are many minds, 
in those many minds, there are many skies,
in those many skies there are many mountains,
in those many  mountains there are many paths.

such is the myriad diversity of the creations of samsahra.
do what thou whilst, yet harm ye none.
love shall be the whole of the law.
