A more 'present' inclined version of "Carpe Diem"

I found this statement more appealing

‘Carpe quod fit’

Here is a clarification from chatgpt:

The phrase “Carpe quod fit” in Latin can be interpreted to mean “Seize what is happening” or “Seize what is ongoing.”

  • “Carpe” means “seize” or “take.”
  • “Quod fit” means “what is happening” or “what is ongoing.”

The implication of this phrase is to take advantage of or grasp the current situation or whatever is happening in the moment. It encourages being present and acting on the opportunities or circumstances as they unfold.

I like this too a lot more too, lol

I suddenly envisioned a small wooden bridge with a t stream going under it and dicing to jump in… quite nice to ’ Carpe quod fit"…

After sleeping on it, i realized that i don’t really like the “carpe” part, ‘seize or take’ as it feels rather possessive. Like trying to grasp and contain the current of a stream, rather than accepting it’s coming and going, savouring the flowing…

‘Esto cum eo quod fit’

‘be with the ongoing’

gave me a much more peaceful feeling…
Like, a sense of circulation and breathing…

Google translate gave the following translation (i don’t fully trust ai language translation) as confirmation:

‘Be with what is happening’

and here is the gpt clarification i used as my original reference:

To say “be with the ongoing” in Latin, you could use the phrase “Esto cum eo quod fit.”

  • “Esto” is the imperative form of “esse,” meaning “be.”
  • “Cum” means “with.”
  • “Eo quod fit” translates to “that which is happening” or “the ongoing.”

So, “Esto cum eo quod fit” essentially means “Be with what is happening” or “Be with the ongoing.”

Think i´m done with this equation now :slight_smile:

’ Vive cum eo quod fit ’

’ Live with the ongoing ’

I like how the word ‘Live’ can be used in English.

even if it opens up for some probable confusion about it´s intended meaning, within a written context.

I find both ways appealing in the above statement,

on closer consideration,

’ Vivere vitam cum eo quod fit ’

‘Living Live with the ongoing’
makes it feel better for me in English,
no probable flux in that statement :slight_smile:

even if it´s a bit of a mouthfull in Latin :sweat_smile:

in the end, i dropped the Latin language model all together, and ended up with:

’ immersed in being, part of the ongoing ’

I have a little funny story for you Raz…

So ( I am french originally) I have started to read a little biography by a lady named Myriam Meyer. She is a teacher for high school in French literature, latin and classical greek.
She was sent about 10 years ago when she was still very young by the French department of education to an area in Seine et Marne near Paris to a highs school where most children are from inner city so practically all students from North Africa immigration at first generation. Now France has, I personally think, a terrible issue with these areas where there has been lack of attention, lack of funding, so there’s poverty, hopelessness, drug traffic where there is in fact for some tons of money, and so many kids leave schools before the end of terms.

But for this school , the team is made of two directors a woman and a man, in fact dedicated to the welfare of their students, and they manage their school with an iron fist establishing by a daily basis some safety so much so that immigrants from other areas are dreaming to get their kids in the public high school…

And this is where this fact is for you , Raz… When the young Myriiam arrived , first she was dubbed a bourgeoise by the tow directors, and deemed she wouldn’t last , but as she showed grit, they became close friends, and she in fact was extremely subtle in finding out what were the different facets of her students an even though at first they were incredibly ruthless to her, and undisciplined, … she slowly managed to teach them latin which was her first assignment before being given six months later French literature too…

She slowly learnt some tenets of the spoken Arab which really helped her in her communication by answering rapidly some of the jokes of her students, some of the really funny passages of the book.

And this is here Raz where she started to have visits from parents, sometimes not knowing French hbut their own chilldren would be the translators and they would plead her to take their kids to teach them ’ the dead words’. and felt incredibly proud that their children would become good latin students.

So I started reading this book which is both hilarious as how she manages her own situation and heartbreaking as the slow miracle of education, or simply finding g a teacher who gets to love them, can help kids who live in such chaotic environment.

LOL, thank you for sharing that Flo, that was a funny story, considering the context it was delivered in, a very funny story :sweat_smile:

I visited the south of France with my grandparents when I was a kid, I remember a very salty sea (compared with the sea around Sweden) wonderful fresh fruit, Boule, and a rural village that had a festival while we where there.

Can i ask what part of the world you resident presently?

Thank you for sharing :slight_smile:

This reminded me of a scene in a cartoon me and my brother found hilarious in our teens, and referenced between each other when least expected over the years, I’m sure he would remember if I brought it up,

Two English speaking, comedy “bad guys”, with heavy french accent’s, are trying to induce an avalanche:

(Paraphrasing their conversation)

"Say something really loudly

"But what do I say?

"Say something in your native language of France!

"Ok, ok, here I go… French toast! French Fries! FRENCH POODLE!!!

LOL, freaking genius comedy writing :sweat_smile:

This reminds me of an old workgroup that
considered having a badge of arms and a motto,
designed in jest to promote productive detachment.

“Semper Involvunt, Vix Comissa”

I think it means
“Always involved, never committed.”

I think part of it’s magic was agreeing
to doing some work but not so invested
in whatever outcome came of it. Such
environments have terms like snafu or
fubar intermixed with happy accidents.
A lot of rocket scientists might know it,
they blow up a bunch of stuff before the
real deal comes about. Such can be,
fire and light.

I searched for “Hecate” and found this thread by way of an intuitive hint “Carpe Diem” I received yesterday while pondering the seed thought “The Witch Wound Keeps You Silent.”

Listen, my perspective may seem strange and I apologize for some of these tangents I arrive to. However, a sort of expressionistic approach that externalizes ideas helps me accept ideas and let go of them, in an act of integration - a wholistic practice of open sharing also has chance of helping another; and this practice might counteract a sort of inhibited behavior, a silence, that the seed thought speaks to.

Some degree of the Matrix archetype factors, and an association to being in a womb, a constrained place of safety relates to successful birthing, or not. Sadly, some pregnancies are not successful. A miscarriage results in stillborn, and this may speak to what happens when the Matrix goes awry. Avoiding mishap is why this may be important. A special case might be a “silent miscarriage”, where a fetus dies in a womb and is continued to be carried. Imagine a crone in such a state, might that speak to a (stereotypical) witch wound kept silent?

Scaling to a much larger vantage seems Hecate, a goddess of witchcraft, a dark feminine triple goddess, whose name stems in the idea of willingness. Here might be the link which hints to successful emergence from the Matrix, a will to emerge successfully, a reach to the potentiator to attain the energy needed to liberate. Without will, a situation of being stuck in a matrix, may not end well. This likely speaks to a greater pattern active in the galaxy, as if an innate feature by design.

The logos encourages a program of evolution through the densities without infringing free will. What happens when there’s some degree of refusal of participation? Might there be some degree of silent self denial factoring into a witch wound? The Ra Materials suggests planetary experiments in archetype configurations meant to complement evolution. Earlier experiments, much older and closer to the galactic center, were found less effective in ways that catalyzed more complex experiments such as the one active on Earth. Keep in mind that races may have been planetary transplants that came from failed experiments, earlier planetary experiences that went bad. A sort of melting pot of many races may have been given a second chance so to speak, with a more complex archetype configuration found on Earth at this time.

So the current situation in Earth might be consequence of much greater Witch Wounds that occurred, situations where the Matrix entrapped, kept silence, retarded evolutionary progress. Such vantage may seem abstract and difficult to integrate on a personal level. If there’s fractal or holographic re-frames of the larger effect upon a person, then other manifestations can start to make sense. Cultural norms that discourage free speech, taboos, militant surveillance, etc. can be like Matrix construct constraints that keep things silent. Yes, this might be like a throat center blockage, or not.

Some degree of rebellion, Carpe Diem, might inspire countermeasure - like a tipping point where the fingers of human touch the fingers of god and a great flash of light like an epiphany liberates an evolutionary journey onward.

What remedy can you share for something chronic at play? Thank you for sharing depths of insight uncommonly found.

This reminded me of a meditation session I had about a decade or so ago. I got a vision of someone dipping their toe in the water, and then pulling away from the feeling in there, followed by the image of a fetus dying.

This was some time after my NDE in 2005, and I could relate to the feeling of this plane being a bit of a winter dip of the soul, so to say :sweat_smile:
