to like, yes but for good

There arethree initiatory modes of the meeting allowing love .

The best isa sudden emptiness of the soul in which the images disappear, ideas and words are silent, freedom and clarity open up suddenly within us in such a way that our whole being is seized. Everything becomes prodigious, deep, evident in what is distant and infinite incomprehensible. This contact is a pure breath of intelligence .

A way more ordinary crosses the desert in which, although we can't see anything, understand nothing, feel nothing, otherwise a kind of pain and anguish, we are drawn and dwell in this darkness and this aridity because it is only there that we find a little stability and peace. As we progress, we learn to rest in this arid quietude, and the soothing assurance of a comforting presence and powerful at the heart of this experience is growing more and more. Reveals in a light which is painful for our nature and all its faculties in walk of being, the hard-to-sustain attraction of becoming much more than what that we seem to be. We are then infinitely surpassed and the purity of this attraction conflicts with our selfishness, our blindness and our imperfection .

And then there ison the way to tranquility full of flavor, of rest and sweetness in which, without there being nothing that satisfies especially the senses, l’imagination et l’intelligence, the will rests in a deep, luminous and absorbing experience of love .

It is then that raise before you the Person, ce support, this soul mate, this mirror, this otherness, this extraction out of its own image, this requirement to resemblance, what I exist for in the encounter, what i can do drown and that by which I may also be revealed. Place your bets, do your “is”, necessarily in relation to the other, trying However, do not get too attached to the other .

loneliness can be learned

   The physical loneliness, external silence and true recollection are essential for those who want to lead a life in conscience. but like many things in this world are only means to achieve a end, and if we don't visualize the end we will misuse the means .

It's not to run away from men, that we ourselves retire to the desert but to better see the world in which we are and seek ways to be more useful. Some who have never experienced true solitude will be able to affirm without hesitation that the solitude of the heart is the only one that matters and that the other, outer loneliness, doesn't matter. But these two solitudes are not incompatible. One can lead to the other .

The most real loneliness is not outside we, it is not the absence of noise or the absence of being around us ; it's an abyss that opens in the depths of our soul, a need for food never can be satisfied. Only one way leads to loneliness, that of the hunger, thirst, pain, vulnerability and desire, and the man who has found loneliness finds himself empty, as if drained by death. He crossed the horizons, there is no longer a way for him to take. He found in a country where the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. He do not travel anymore because it is by remaining motionless that one discovers this country .

And it's there, in this loneliness, what begin the most fruitful activities. This is where you learn to work in the relaxation, to increase their vision, to see in the darkness and find, beyond desire, a door that opens to infinity .

Materially, conditions are necessary. You have to have a place, in nature or in a room with a room where no one can find us, bother us or just notice us. He we must be able to detach ourselves from the world to really be of this world. We must liberate ourselves by untying the tense and tenuous ties that bind us by seen, hearing, the smell, the feelings, thinking about the presence of men. And when such a place is found, let's be satisfied but let's not be troubled if we are forced to leave it for a good reason. love this place, let's go back as soon as possible and don't change it for the slightest peccadillo. And in this place, let's breathe easy, naturally, without precipitation, so that our minds can rest, forget your worries, to plunge into the silence and the secrecy of all things .

Some men evoking inner loneliness think it is possible to live in the middle of the world and its confusion. They admit that outer loneliness is good in theory, but argue that it is better to safeguard inner solitude while living with others. In fact, their life is devoured by activities and strangled by attachments of all kinds.. They fear inner loneliness and do everything they can to escape it.. And what's worse, is that they try to draw others into activities as vain and all-consuming as their own. They are great servants of “the cause”, great creators of more or less useful work. They print programs, write letters, and phone for hours. They are happy to organize meetings, from banquets, conferences, courses and events. They animate and spend themselves without counting. They will even be able to bring together a large number of people around the theme of loneliness with so much solicitude that the tumult, interpellations and applause can only remove the spirit of loneliness from its unspeakable accuracy .

Tradition and revolution

   There are human traditions which tend to stagnate and alter. They are those that attach themselves to objects and values ​​that the time ruthlessly destroyed. They are linked to contingent things and material – customs, modes, styles, attitudes – which inevitably change with time and are replaced by others .

He is also traditions that are like the breath of a body, that renew life preventing stagnation. They are calm and peaceful revolts against the dead .

These traditions to stay alive must be revolutionary. They will always be there because they refuse the norms and values ​​to which human thought attaches itself with ardor .

To those who love money, pleasure, the honours, the power, this living tradition tells us to see the other side of things, to seek the true meaning of our life, peace of mind .

Les révolutions lorsqu’elles ne sont que politiques transforment les choses en apparence. Elles s’effectuent dans la violence. power changes hands, mais quand la fumée se dissipe et qu’on a enterré les morts, the situation is the same as before. Une minorité d’hommes forts arrivent au pouvoir et font disparaître les opposants, for personal purposes. Greed, cruelty, debauchery, l’ambition, greed and hypocrisy are the same as before .

The alliance of a living tradition and a humanist revolution can set the course for a existential unfolding respectful of the fragile and shifting balances every human group needs. This alliance cannot be closed on agreed archaic principles, nor open to the modernist all-comers. She must make you want to grow, it must make the spirit of the group hungry crossing the surface of the words will have to go beyond what the words express. mysteries, for in the humility of silence, intellectual loneliness and a a certain inner poverty to combine with desire – engine of our human human-animal condition -, the momentum of a unique intuition, towards a truth unique that we possess deep within ourselves and that we know sometimes, intermittently .

At this stage of understanding of this human condition in motion, between tradition and revolution, emergence from the depths of the psyche and the soul, traits of lucidity and intuition, encounters the existential experience in the necessary communicating relationship of this research process involved with men of good will, to all men in the making to be .

hatred overwhelms

She brings together beings who have nothing in common with each other, beings who are in the impossibility of fleeing from themselves or from others.

Forced to stay whole, men and women of hate burn in place while trying to repel each other. What they hate most is less what they see in others that the hatred they feel others have for that what they see in them. It is what others send back to them of their own image and their actions and gestures which makes them wallow in hatred. They recognize in their brothers and sisters what they hate in them. selfishness, jealousy, impotence, terror, the despair, hatred, it's bad .

It is not the evil which is a negative entity, but rather the absence of a perfection that should be. Evil is boring because it is the absence of something that could interest us body and soul, and the intellect .

What can we entice into evil acts, it's not bad, but the good that is there find, a good seen under a false aspect, in a distorted perspective. A good that we see like a mirror to the larks, who makes us reach out, but who is only a bait in a trap. And when the trap closes, there is nothing left than disgust, boredom or hatred .

People of hate live in a world full of betrayals, d’illusions, manipulation, lies and boredom. And when they try to drown out this boredom with noise, unrest and violence, they get even more boring. They are scourges for the world and society .

154

integrity and humility

 Integrity is to be yourself. It's not believing you have to become someone else .

It is not to use his mind and body in the mad enterprise of living the another's experiences, to write the poems or to live the spirituality of the other. Too often men hasten to give themselves importance by imitating what is successful, because they are too lazy to imagine better. They want quick success and are in such a rush that they don't take time to be themselves .

Integrity coexists with humility. For the truly humble man, manners to be, the customs and habits of men are not matters for conflict. Humility is not about trying to be different, as if we knew better than anyone what we are and what we should be .

How can we be ourselves if we lead the life of another ? And it takes courage to just be yourself, in line with our destiny. As well the anxiety we may experience in maintaining our balance, to be honest, in difficult situations, to continue to be yourself without harshness, without impose our false personalities on the false personalities of others, may teach us to become deeply humble .

One of the characteristics of the humble person is that others do not know what to think from her . They wonder if she's crazy or just proud .

Humility has loneliness as a sister, that of infinite spaces where everything happens, even the postponement of things said and by which everything contributes, in the coming and going of the conditions of the mind, with the wind of instincts , crumbling passions and wonders of his own image .

Integrity to sister Athena, the pride of being a man/woman standing, to hold the bar, to be vertical, ready to face adversity, to commiseration-reflex, to doubt and self-puffiness .

the marriage of the artist and the work of art

   Pieces of art are electric shocks that force us to perceive the absolute. They us question our falling asleep by forcing us to question .

The seen summons the artist to wonder at what he sees and pressing. Matter reveals its secrets and contact occurs between the patient soul, observer and acting of the artist and the material which is tamed by letting itself be shaped . The artist penetrates the visible, the sensitive, the real. He makes them his own the life he gives them without turning them into objects. He does not remain a prisoner appearances, resistances and habits of mental thought. He preserves the ability to marvel at reality by constantly perceiving the rift separating the natural and authentic world from objectified matter . And behind the appearance of creation he perceives the mystery of order hidden. He raises the science of the art to the level of the qualities of the pure spirit. the fireworks of his inspiration create the poetic moment, innocent contemplation beyond known certainties as well as commitment on the path of wonder .

The admirer, the disciple, par contagion intuitive, captures the interaction between human and the environment, between humans and the universe .

The artist by a double observation of his interiority and the environment brings out the eternally renewed poetic form. There is unforeseen dialogue, improbable, between the creator, animal-human man of flesh and mixed sensations and the matter. The artist becomes, the time of a dive into the light of otherness of the world, the servant of what prolongs it, of what overwhelms him just as much than what glorifies him. He turns out to be the universal memory, union unthinkable of the absolute and its manifestation. A crystallization of the event brings the bursting of a buried truth, visible at this moment where the dawn of what is happening is at the heart of its mystery, like a date hidden that underlies the appearance of creation. Continuing his quest, the curiosity and sensitivity of the artist guide him towards the perception and the intuition of the invisible structure of things .

And the material opens like a rose in summer before the active soul, patient and contemplative of the artist. Matter is tamed, she makes herself welcoming and lets herself shape. The animal-human man, in a new intimacy of himself fades away to make way for”Human”, to a universal dimension where beauty expresses itself and exists. The artist is then a. He is an instrument of new energy and fully himself. It reveals human nature . The artist through his gesture of creation lives. It receives and is lived. He is movement of movement before being a thing or someone. He likes. He is intensely diversity, duality and multiplicity. He is grain of dust attentive to the incessant upheavals of the universal order. He is the groom of the many weddings waiting for him at the end of the hall shadow and light of its obligatory journey .

Quelque chose d’avant le temps

 So much and so much effort
commensurate with requests
to keep your head above water
and be in resemblance to the visible
without being closed to the invisible .

So much and so much effort
to raise viridity
on the shield of our intentions
while without effective power
l'amour sensible fait figure de désaffection .

So much and so much effort
to move in this corridor
to distinguish good from evil
in order to really see where we are going .

So much and so much effort
to cross
the fords of the torrent of illusion
without distinguishing the origin of this stardust
where to be liege men and women .

So much and so much effort
to avail oneself of an eternal sun
while the confines of our understanding
sont scarifiés sur les autels
dumbness and deafness .

So much and so much effort
spent waiting for the rain to stop falling
alors qu'elle est partie prenante de la fructification .

So much and so much effort
to consider the end of the end of our life course
as happiness
alors que nous sommes éternellement en marche .

So much and so much effort
to accept that the sun goes down
avant que les blés ne mûrissent
implorant
in search of harvest
le retour de la faux du père .

to join oneself

Il faut jeter par dessus bord
beaucoup de paresse, mais surtout beaucoup d’inhibition et d’incertitude pour
to join oneself .

Pour toucher les autres à travers moi, I have to see more clearly and I have to accept myself.

Depuis des années j’emmagasine,
I accumulate in a large reservoir, mais tout cela devrait bien
ressortir un jour, otherwise I will have the feeling of having lived for nothing, d’avoir
dépouillé l’humanité sans rien lui donner en retour .

Tous les problèmes
que je traverse et que je tente d’expliquer, me tourmente et appelle en moi
solution et formulation. 'Cause these problems aren't just mine,
but those of many others. Si à la fin de ma vie je trouve une forme à ce
qui est encore chaotique en moi, I may have fulfilled my little mission.

Tout cela me semble bien prétentieux.
Je me sens parfois comme une poubelle tant il y a de trouble,
of vanity, of incompleteness, insufficiency in me.

Mais corrélativement
il y a aussi une authentique sincérité et une volonté passionnée, presque
nécessaire, to bring some clarity, de trouver l’harmonie entre le dedans et le dehors pour se rejoindre soi-même .

A la longue il se pourrait que je trouve la paix et la clarté.
But yes ! It is now, en ce lieu, in this world,
I need to find clarity, peace and balance.

Je dois me replonger sans cesse dans la réalité, m’expliquer avec tout ce que je
rencontre sur mon chemin, accueillir le monde extérieur dans mon monde
intérieur et l’y nourriret inversement je dois continuer d’écouter au-dedans
de moi – , mais cela est terriblement difficile et c’est pourquoi j’ai ce
sentiment d’oppression au-dedans de moi .

C’est alors que je fermais les yeux. stop thinking.
I was going through a moment of peace, calm.
My unwavering faith in man can't make me slip away. A
perspective de cohérence m’appelle. J’ai si tendrement à faire que je ne puis
qu’assumer pleinement mon destin et employer mes talents à soulager les maux de mes frères et sœurs .

beyond the border and evil

The border between good and evil passes between the two banks of the river. Any choice of one bank rather than the other ricochets and carries with it its punishment and its seed.. Punishment keeps in hell ; and the germ, this force capable of splitting the rock, crack the heart. So we spend our lives dithering on a catwalk .

It is the passage from one bank to the other that remains pure mystery. We might think that on each side there is an abyss by which takes place the passage to another dimension. And maybe the attempt to escape by all means this aspiration, to this vertiginous fall is it the origin of our worst suffering .

The relentless refusal of the known to the unknown, the familiar to the unexplored, forces fate to use violence against us .

For the fetus in its mother's womb, the end of the world is called birth. We call butterfly the annihilation of the caterpillar. All life is a cosmic drama that never ends, all in all, not so bad .

Pass the bridge, it is to change nature. To see otherwise, is to change your vision, it is to crack his agreed vision of things. How painful it is to change state. It makes us blink eyes, before later seeing these states stabilize .

Changing sides blurs the view than the others carry me. Also for fear of being taken for insane, I'm careful not to talk about it anyone. But the truth is the opposite, so I went out of the world that my time hallucinates to reach a reality without time and place. And this reality is light casting, fluorescent magma that all the shades from darkest to brightest. And this palette is a piano of colors .

And I saw it as I see now from the window burst a summer at the zenith of her majesty. I saw that matter was not that light and vibration and Love, pure love, immeasurable love .

And I see all these human beings going somewhere leaves when they never left from nowhere and will not arrive in nowhere place where they are not already. This immense sacred and absurd staging suggests that men are gods when, between two dreams, they let their gaze wander over the world .

The lesson of this metaphor of the bridge between two shores is that life has been given to us, that we must put as much energy as possible into bringing this potential to fruition, as little energy as possible to suffer from it and not be surprised when what seems to be eternal flashes and disappears .

WHAT NIGHT THIS NIGHT

 Wordless defeat
under the flight of a specter
emptying itself of its attributes .

One night exile
devoured by the web of dreams
without the secret corrupting the memory .

Oblivion between the mist and the moon
you won't die you can't die
all day glories extinguished
from the bowels of the valley
from which rises the double sound of oboe and sax .

Prolonged bewitchment
at the limits of a crossing
before sinking into darkness
where slowly are consumed
flesh and nails of tenderness's Sunday best
fallen in dew of blood
before dawn strays .

Pitfall arranged between the lanterns
in the middle of these wrecks
than a mysterious order
land in this kingdom
where cold flint separates flesh from skin .

Life is here
life is the place
mine life in companion of your life
size XXL of the plotted median
between the blue child's smile
and the perpetuity of a blond desert .
