hito
Hito: Japanese Kotodama
“Human being”, “vessel for a fragment of the divine soul”.
Within this body,
where particles of matter are illuminated by life
before departing from existence,
might there reside universal principles?
might each person have received a fragment of the Soul of the Divine?
Through experiences of expanded states of consciousness,
I am drawn ever closer to this conclusion : that we are in essence spiritual beings.
Hito is a contemplation of the power that emanates from the innermost depths of being — a power which reveals itself only when we have come face to face with the limits of our human strength, with our own fragility.
Our earthly experience sometimes leads us to moments of liminality —
thresholds opening onto an ultimate reality.
