The MALKUTH Catharsis (Malkuth Journal)

The Eye of the World was my first introduction to epic fantasy. Even before Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

Must be one of the many reasons why I have a soft spot for it.

Plus the world building, heroes’ journeys, the concept of energy manipulation wielded by magicians gone insane, last battle shenanigans, culture clashes, wolf-brothers, myths of various gods and religions woven into heroes and villians, katana based sword play, humor and word play, war, love, betrayal, redemption, corruption, revolution and everything else one could ever want.

Some folks say the books dragged in the second half of the series.

But I don’t care. WoT will always be my number one in my book. Pun intended.

They didn’t.

I remember that critique.

But if you remember who all of the characters are and feel invested in them, nothing drags.

It’s just a big world.

This time around, I kept waiting for it to drag. haha.

Lol!

Exactly! If you love the characters, you want to be with them longer and I felt like I spent more time with them, getting to know them more as I read through it all.

It’s a beautiful series that sealed my love for the fantasy genre.

I was around 14 or 15 when I came across the first book of WoT. And that’s when the journey began.

Don’t curse the Surface, because you love the Deep.

The Surface literally connects you and conveys you to the Deep.

Tomorrow is my next play day.

9 play days in every play period for me.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

Everything grows out of The Revelation of Spirit.

And I found an excellent book to read after The Wheel of Time.

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. Masterful storytelling and character development. Shannon Chakraborty is the author. She writes with an assured hand. Delightful.

Your worth is non-negotiable.

No matter what stupid shit you say or do, no matter what mistakes you make;

your being itself is crafted of the pure Gold of Consciousness.

The nature and nobility of Consciousness runs through you.

You are on a path to greatness and there’s nothing you can do to change that.

Great quote from AI today:

“ While your subliminal programs can facilitate your journey, they are not a magic bullet. Conscious effort, mindful action, and self-reflection are crucial for integrating the programs’ effects and maximizing their potential.”

Yes, and when we live less than our best, it’s easy to forget this :upside_down_face:

I love the concept of its non-negotiability even when awareness of it is lost.

A place to come back to.

Ordering that and City of Brass

The reviews likened it to The Golem and The Jinni and Uprooted. Both of which I loved.

There are treasures that lie only inside of loss and losing.

The process of discovering them involves a whole lot of cursing fate.

Until you don’t.

could I ask? You being “forum ambassador”… what does that mean exactly Malkuth?

Also the music gave me chills. What a nice tune.

Hi @Spartan. Here’s the response I gave the last time someone asked me this question. I think it still works.

MalkuthForum Ambassador

Sep '22

A forum ambassador is a forum participant who is trusted by Subliminal Club to:

  1. try to support the wellbeing of the forum as a whole and the wellbeing of individual users on the forum
  2. actively share her understanding, learning, mistakes, and insights with the community
  3. support other forum participants who also wish to do the above two points

Like a mini-moderator without the administrative access and privileges.

(oh god. I just realized I’m a Class Prefect.)
