Love is Stronger than Fear

The inception of Dendraletheia Astrology in late 2019 came from an act of devotion to personal philosophy regarding the relationship, and therefore the living response, between fate management and fate attachment. “Choosing” to have been born came from a place of desiring a “good death,” - the ways in which all that is inevitable can perhaps only be qualified by radical acceptance of the responsibility, as well as privilege, to embrace the time spirit gifted, and burdened you with. To do this with Care, is an act of Love. “Aletheia” (ἀλήθεια), from Greek, designates truth, but more accurately, “unconcealedness,” implying that the nature of divine truth itself is something intrinsically hidden and unknown without deliberate unveiling. “Dendra,” a prefix from the Greek “dendritēs” meaning “branch-like,” or “tree-like,” creating the full word “Dendraletheia,” representing a general concept of divine wisdom that is un-coverable through intimacy with observable nature, the knowledge of trees, or the cycles of judgement that one can witness in the lifecycle of a tree, as well as the simultaneous benevolence and trepidation of forests.

“This wealth of life love acquires in the exchange of every thought, every variety of inner experience, for it seeks out difference and devises unifications ad infinitum; it turns to the whole manifold of nature in order to drink love out of every life. What in the first instance is most the individual’s own is united into the whole in the lovers’ touch and contact; consciousness of a separate self disappears, and all distinction between the lovers is annulled.”
Hegel, On Love (1797/8?)

The true aim in life is not to be in relation with the divine; but to unveil our own eternality as the means of its Love.

Desire begins when we seek, listen, so as to feel this eternality of us, and through us and know of this Love.

”We understand then why we see the things themselves, in their places, where they are, according to their being which is indeed more than their being perceived – and why at the same time we are separated from them by all the thickness of the look and of the body; it is that this distance is not the contrary of this proximity, it is deeply consonant with it, it is synonymous with it. It is that the thickness of flesh between the seer and the thing is constitutive for the thing of its visibility as for the seer of his corporeity; it is not an obstacle between them, it is their means of communication.” - Maurice Merleau-Ponty, The Visible and the Invisible (1968)

To inhale, or unveil; reconciling all that is separate in love and out of love and all of this devotion

is an intimacy of becoming

moving beyond the relational

this dialectic

of choosing existence as Love.
