The RUNE Wunjo

MOST COMMON WORDS ASSOCIATED: Joy, Pleasure, Bliss, Balance, Harmony.

MY RANDOM NOTES:

A state of being. Wishes granted. Ecstasy. No friction. To be IN the joy state. EN-Joy. Good for magic pertaining to bettering health of the mind, body, spirit & dissolving conflict. In the "now".

MY THOUGHTS:

There are degrees of  experiencing "joy", however, it is my opinion that to truly be in the state of joy that you will simply be in a state which takes you OUT of time. A state which would no longer allow for degrees or variances as you simply "are". Out of time does not understand sequences, it just is and it just isn't. Sequence requires a container from which time (and all other things) can be measured. 

A state of being... an  awareness from which you may never return. In excess,  this Rune could result in madness. Madness to the observer as "joy" can only be identified and understood through the individual that is in the state and I wonder if self awareness, in the purest form of  "joy" would lose the identity of self.... 

Although Wunjo would seem the perfect Rune, too much time in this state would eventually contribute to the lack of other energies (Runes) that are required to survive in the world we live.  Don't get lost in this Rune too long. While in this state all else continues to change. I have witnessed how this energy, once experienced, can lure, seduce and dominate a person's desire to return to it again... similar to an addiction; having the desire to duplicate a feeling or experience that will never be duplicated or repeated the same. 

Is it possible to identify being in joy while still in the state of joy? ... I think no... once you are able to reflect and assess on it, you would be outside of the state in observation not the experience of it....
