Positives Gedicht
Fear not. Life is but a dream,
and what you find is what you are.
That Life can come or go is never
the truth. For one, but One you are.
Life can never end. It’s everlasting, like the sky.
Your heart will rule.
Eventually, your being
shall be renewed – be thankful, boy.
Den Weg mit Herz gehen
Diese Nacht habe ich einen interessanten Film gesehen – das koreanische Original [auf Deutsch, man kann ihn übrigens auf Deutsch online finden, etwa auf myvideo.de, soweit das am Abrufort legal ist oder bei amazon erwerben] – : My Sassy Girl (kor. 엽기적인 그녀 bzw. 獵奇的인 그女; Yeopgijeogin geunyeo).
In den letzten Monaten habe ich mich beim Anschauen asiatischer Filme etwas zurückgehalten, da ich dachte, das täte ich besser in Asien; und bei japanischen Filmen war ich mir nicht immer sicher, inwieweit es gut sei, das jetzt zu aktualisieren.
Dieser Film aber hat sich emotional gesehen und vielleicht auch spirituell gelohnt, jedenfalls enthält er eine tiefe Lehre am Ende.
Auf Grund der potentiellen Gesetzeslage zitiere ich die Worte dort lieber gerade nicht, aber die Essenz ist diese, die ich hier in einem Gedicht ausdrucken möchte… Dachte ich, nun habe ich vielleicht auch anderes gesagt. Der Film ist auf jedenfall sehr schön und kann zu Vertrauen führen. Ich erinnere mich auch wieder an Gespräche mit einem Freund in Japan über “縁”.
Follow your heart, wherever it leads you,
thou shalt be fine. For fate cannot hinder
what needs to blossom
within and without
fate is the servant
of Heart.
Thus, it shall be.
Der Titel meines Eintrages verrät, worauf es hinausläuft. Wenn man auf die Worte am Ende des Filmes hört, kann man besser und glücklicher durch das Leben gehen, denke ich.
If I want to live. If I want
to be the Light,
if I want to give,
if I want to stop the fight,
I will have to be the stars,
I will have to seek
that, what truely is;
my light, shall it be not meek.
Notes:
Grammatically, should the last line read “it shall be…”?
I wrote the poem when wondering what to do next.
On Right Writing
Eckhart Tolle gives some valuable advice for writers on how to tell a biographical story and still have the dimension of consciousness accessible in his first Google+ – Hangout here (in the second half of the hangout) in a reply to Wafa Lababneh.
(The hangout also contains advice on the education of young children and as to Love [also see here].)
On the Power of Ideas
I just have seen the second part of “Schutzengelngel auf Skiern” (Terror on Skis) from the series “Charlie’s Angels” (“Drei Engel für Charlie”).
There was a scene, in which, while evil took its course in the whiteness of the winter world, the people were celebrating on the hills, the lights looking like glow worms at night – a beautiful scene. And, yet, there was terror, not far distant.
That terror only could take place, because someone believed in an idea – and acted, as the construction of thought that possessed him seemed to bide.
The world would be a beautiful place, if we would not act on our ideas, but let life create through us unobstructedly. Any fighting is between ideas, any wrong is done, because someone believes in or fears something. Fear itself may be an emotion.
But, as is the separation of the world in good and bad, based on an idea: the idea, that one is separate – for only in separateness, or from the idea of separateness – the idea, that something is or might be lost, can fear arise.
That separateness is the “cause of all our woe“.
Therefore, in the world the power of thought, the power to disseminate, to impart ideas, is truly great – and maybe there could lie a task for those, whose gifts are the words (also cf. here). But, yet, the higher power lies in the REALISATION, that separateness does not, will not, and did never exist, but as a thought, the veil of Maya.
Let us all SEE.
Eternity
is nothing
but what IS.
Thus,
be HIS
and blessed
by the Force
that transcends
the idea of duality
in you, in me, in everyone.
Peace
It is done.
Remark: I am not sure I should have included the poem in this post.
Inspired by W. E. Hanley (and Leonard Nimoy)
After retweeting this tweet and reading the previous tweets ( by Leonard Nimoy from W. E. Hanley’s “Invictus”. I tried to let me inspire. It may not be my finest work, but still I feel I should put the verses, that came, here:
I love thee, dear – no fear to be
a truth at all, for once you are
what heaven wants, t h a t is what b e.
For thou art HIS, yes, all around.
A bit later I wrote:
I shall not fear,
but rise anew
to where my sun has gone.
I am of Life,
and I renew –
just as my Life
is all that is.
Let’s found our own universities
Ich las gerade http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-05-11, und ich dachte: “Let’s fund our own universities. Let’s build our own society. And when the old one is gone, ours shall stand.”
[Hintergrund – ehm… I am aware of the language-mix… –: I like studies like that, libraries… haven’t done so for quite a while.If the universities still governed by so called “rational” people with a limited perceptiveness for what truly IS cannot give us what we need, why not found our own? It has already started, in the U.S., in Australia, too (thinking about the Endeavour College of Natural Health). In the end, it is in our hands, and if we just live as we ought to, we will have the new society while the old one vanishes. Thus, the transition should work fine.
The previous paragraph may come from the personality or ego, but the first one should stand.]
Deepak Chopra on Oprah’s Lifeclass
I have just watched Deepak Chopra and Oprah in Oprah’s Lifeclass on OWN. As someone not from the U. S., I became more aware of her work through this event (also see here) with Eckhart Tolle.
She does a good job. [Incidentally, by the way, she also addresses the relationship between religion and spirituality I discussed in my previous post. Her stance of distinguishim them may be understandable especially in a country like America, where there are some quite fundamental people who might otherwise object to some of the important insights.]
Deepak Chopra gives some valuable advice during the broadcast – have a look!
On the Terms “Religion” and “Spirituality”
Today, I read Eckhart Tolle’s explanations as to “religious versus secular spirituality” (which has also been recorded on ETV a few months back).
I was tempted to write a comment there, but not ultimately sure about my motive, (and) whether it was not more the mind, and given the possibility I should not sit in front of my computer this morning anyway, I probably better post it here. My comment is:
When reading the comments, it occurs to me that one might wish to be careful not to build an artificial contradiction between “religion” and “spirituality”. (For then, the ego has an opponent to strengthen itself in fighting.)
It is a question of definition, and Eckhart shows how to use both terms with slightly different, but possibly somewhere overlapping / “meeting” meanings.
My hitherto approach has been to always seek the highest meaning of a word, and understand the word in that sense. Thus, spirituality and religion become the same, the outer forms of religion without true spirituality not giving justice to the full meaning of the word.
By giving words their highest possible meaning, we can devoid our language and form of living from contradictions and reflect the underlying unity in the realms most people may still live in.
Religion in that sense is, even if that meaning appears “unscientific” to some, re-ligio, reconnection with the origin.
May it shine through.
