Silence and manifestation of the silence

Lead me from dreaming to waking.

Lead me from opacity to clarity. Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain.. ...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi! so listen to the mahayogi..,grasshopper from heaven...

In silence there must be movement, and in motion,

There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big one..
No movement is better than a small one..listen!
Silence is all the movement's mother..
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.  
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}

What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao, effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds 

The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms. Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit. This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere. -- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)

*note..what is silence?..grasshoppers from heaven?
 Imagine something
Which supports the universe
Imagine something so majestic
So beautiful ..so blissful
Yet is not the cause of creation
Is more like everything happens
Inside it
You can name it Tao
Or the big mystery
It is everybody
And yet one
Like this song says
Baby, I don't know
Just why I love you so
Maybe it's just the way
That God made me this day

Baby, I don't know
Just why I love you so
Maybe it's just the way
That God made me this day

Honey, I hear you
And I feel for you
It won't be too long till
We're back as one again

Baby, I don't know
Just why I love you so
Maybe it's just the way
That God made me this day

Baby, I don't know
Just why I love you so
Maybe it's just the way
That God made me this day

Honey, I hear you
And I feel for you
It won't be too long till
We're back as one again

So the witness becomes the witnessing
The 2 in one
See?
This is the secret 
For you are the third ..as soul
As manifesting
The same splendor
The same majestic brilliant Silence
In you
To know itself
By you
You are the lover
The Love
And the beloved
Like the 3 in one kripto
Loved in the 3 worlds
Respected in 10
So don't take your problems as evident
Look for the solution
For that creates the fun of god knowing himself
Even though
You think there is nothing
Know the cosmic game
And enjoy it
For you created both the problem
And the solution
See?..grasshoppers from heaven?
Kiss..
And love....
And delicious silence for you I wish..
Thus spokenth the mahayogi!

*note*..hello friends ..nice to see you again..kisses from the mahayogi to you(loved in the 3 worlds...worshiped, worshiped and again worshiped in the 10th..celebrated in the 18th also by himself..since he is the only one there,with such formidable wisdom muscle as his....and it weights 31 kilos of brain muscle...)

 

Anyway...friends..I am here to explain you the cause and affect idea ,initially explained by the Buddha himself..

Now listen to me...and listen good..

Friends from heaven..you actually create all your problems (not realizing it..)

To prove your unconsciousness grasshoppers habit of creating problems..let's try the mighty ,,Kripto COIN EXPERIMENT;; The coin experiment is a darling of mine..aghh..is a beauty...and I invented it!! Here it goes:

Pick a coin...any coin...look at it and say..I love you kripto!!!(just kidding) 

 Just pick any coin..and know the coin is the answer.. Now you must create the problem. Toss the coin as far as you can behind you..(be sure you're in a room..and nobody is watching you for doing the kripto mighty coin experiment) Now turn back..and look for the coin.. You see it? Hell no...how could you see it right away? Keep your faith..

1..Consciousness decides the outcome 

 2.awareness of the consciousness decides the power of it..  

3..Ponder of my superior wisdom..I explain you HOW MAGICK WORKS NOW!..not bullshit indian paper burning names,or woodoo fruitcakes magicians from whatever..I give you the REAL STUFF! Now THINK..grasshoppers from heaven...the coin was the solution.. YOU tossed it... IS THERE for you to find it,no? I'll explain more...think of this universe as yang/yin polarities..why do you ever imagine that there is no solution for any problem? The solution is manifested..ONLY IF YOU acknowledge that it could be a solution..see? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? Friends from heaven? In other words..YOU decide if there is a solution or not..or a problem or not. 

Now lets go back to my kripto coin experiment. Turn around..the coin is somewhere..in your room..is a small coin. What you're gone do? Crawl like a coyote on your carpet..sniffing with your grasshopper hands and asking..where is it??..where is it? Or... You'll listen to me..the mahayogi? Now say...the coin(the answer to my problems) is here. Until now..I didn't see it. Now I see it!! SAY IT.. NOW I SEE THE COIN.. then relax and DO whatEVER you want..or feel...(this is the second secret..you must allow it,relax,and don't try..just do whatever you want) and go and find the coin...AND YOU WILL.... You created the answer now,consciously.. To your problem created unconsciously .. SEE?? Enough of this,grasshoppers friends... 

 Kisses from the mahayogi..and never forget that I invented the Kripto Mighty coin experiment.... love to you all..and please practice meditation.. Danny the Mahayogi(loved in every realm,even this lousy one..) -------

Hey brother, there’s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker.
Oh if the sky comes falling down, for you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.

Hey brother, do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister, do you still believe in love I wonder?
Oh if the sky comes falling down, for you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.

What if I'm far from home?
Oh brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister I will help you out!
Oh if the sky comes falling down, for you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.

..............
THE ORIGINAL WOUND
According to the story:
our problems first began
when the first human being
couldn’t decide which direction
to go in—
North held a promise
but so did South.
Due to this dilemma
the first human then split in half…
Both halves felt the loss; however,
both halves saw the other half
as “the other”:
as the exact opposite of itself
and so
they didn’t try to get back together
but walked away from each other:
one half went North
while the other half went South—
both of them searching for what
might heal the wound…
As with any journey, both halves
found many obstacles in their paths
and because new things can be
so very hard to see
they often mistook those blocks
for the very thing they sought:
at first, thing might seem to be
the right thing
but then, as it was seen
more clearly, it wouldn’t seem so right,
after all.
The happy ending of our story
would appear to be obvious:
after the North half
reached the polar cap
without finding the answer
it would begin to descend
just as the South half
would eventually ascend
then the two of them would meet again
and from the understanding they’d gained
finally realize their mistake.
Unfortunately, on ground level
the situation remains in chaos
because
we humans keep trying
to go both ways at once—
thus, we continue to split
and split: the halves
just keep on halving—
populating our planet with people
all searching for what might mend
the original wound…
Anyway,
both versions of the story
explain why you seemed so perfect
when I first saw you:
you appeared to be the half
that could make me whole.
But maybe my mistake is fortunate
because this error in perception
has brought us two together
where my blindness may be cured
(at least, in part) along with yours:
yes, I now realize you’re not
my other half, but
I know if I keep working
to see you better
I’ll discover a mirror:
a reflection that shows me something
I’ve missed in myself—
   that helps me retrieve
   that same something.
Likewise, I hope
you can find something of yourself
as you peer into me…
not your other half, of course
but, maybe, a big part… Michael R. Patton

To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;

In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.

Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;

There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.

The true and constant must respond to phenomena;

Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.

When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;

When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.

When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;

Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.

Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;

Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.

White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;

The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.

Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;

You wander so freely—who is able to know you?

Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;

Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.

A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -

"The center of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centered thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. In the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us.

Here we find that we have created Them who are Us...

any way...what I wanted to post was about,,the flow,, of spirit in action..about this ..
http://home.acceleration.net/clark/COOL938/Email.Essays/Flow.html
quote"
the gist of which it seems is there is this rather common type "A" mode that is kinetic, in constant motion, stressed out, controlling and although folks in this mode get a lot done the price in terms of health consequences is high.
Then there is the type "B" mode that is totally laid back, sedentary, dreamily floating through life getting very little accomplished. Typically folks in this mode are "out of control," rudderless letting the ebb and flow of life push them where it will. Rather like Donald Duck... flat footed, don't give a $#!+ and things just roll off their back.
The ideal seems to be the type "C" mode which in the tape set is called the "C zone" or as I am calling it "flow" which takes the best of both modes and leaves the rest.
What I am dealing with now is being Relaxed and Open to Drumming and other things that can be difficult in my life, being Ef~Fort~Less!
One of the ways that works for me (and the dear friend that provided this insight) to gain this Peaceful perspective and ease in my endeavors is to allow my "spirit body" to take on the task at hand while I let my "mental body" surf on the surface of this awe full (wave ) force.
Interestingly, as I "get out of the way" I feel an even stronger connection to what it is that I'm "doing," firmly rooted in the moment, grounded. Also, in the case of drumming I find physically I am able to go faster, for longer, and hit harder with out fatigue or muscle "burn." Mentally I am clearer and am able to "look ahead" further as my "scope" expands and this is conducive to inspired improvisation and soloing.
I hope this Helps!
May Peace Be With You and Yours!

"
hehehe..isn't this beautiful?...he got it right,but he didn't explain what is this,,spirit body,,?..
So I'm composing on the spot this never heard stanza..kripto style?
Wish me luck to my wisdom muscles!

Behold the Spirit Body
Is the awareness itself
Like an eternal witness
It is empty..yet full
By intent
Creates the wave
Of one pointed individuality
Or one pointed concentration
Riding this wave..as a resonator
The flow is like that
While the intent is all that is needed
Marvelous works are done
Effortlessly seeming
And that is because the Mind
Is only one thought at the time
And is not bothered by others thoughts
Comprende spanish ,grasshopers?
And why the thought is one..?
Like a pebble in the lake?
Because of the spirit body,of course
It's source..it's power..it's emptiness
It's bliss 
It's brilliant  origin
It's majestic source 
Of creation of the universe itself!!
Not only your ,,flow,,
Thus spokenth the mahayogi!

hmm..good stanza I wrote just now..I love myself!..is good to be me,indeed!...I have to go kiss myself in the mirror..but first..I'll post the original post from that site..
Kiss and love to you..grasshoppers from heaven!

I outline below: The gist of which it seems is there is this rather common type "A" mode that is kinetic, in constant motion, stressed out, controlling and although folks in this mode get a lot done the price in terms of health consequences is high.
Then there is the type "B" mode that is totally laid back, sedentary, dreamily floating through life getting very little accomplished. Typically folks in this mode are "out of control," rudderless letting the ebb and flow of life push them where it will. Rather like Donald Duck... flat footed, don't give a $#!+ and things just roll off their back.

A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall. Onlookers feared for his life. Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls. People asked him how he managed to survive. “I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. This is how I survived.”
“The best way not to drown is to ride the wave.” 

- Deepak Chopra, "The Path to Love"
“To act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the tides. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthuisiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other.”
- Helena Petrova Blavatsky

“Shi-Kin Hara-Mitsu Dai-Ko-Myo: A moment of true interaction between mind and spirit may lead to Enlightenment.”
- Bujinkan Ninjutsu motto


Signs of being 'touched' spiritually
1) Big dopey grin.
2) Urge to touch other people. Spiritually, that is.
3) Urge to tell everyone over and over how happy (you feel) and how wonderful things are.
4) Constant use of trite Pollyanna sayings.
5) Simplistic Pollyanna attitude.
- William Henry Timmins

“Forget all you know or think you know;
Abandon power and enforced decree.
Inward, where the deepest rivers flow,
Find the currents of eternity...”
- Wayland Drew, "The Book of Fin Raziel"

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we
are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
by Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections On The Principles
of A Course In Miracles, p. 165, HarperCollins, 1992)
Quoted by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural Address

“The Sufis believe that every aspect of daily life has potential as a
devotional practice. Every bodily movement has its source in the divine.
Everything we do, everything seen or heard, tasted or touched, can be
undertaken as a devotional practice. This level of devotion brings us into
a new relationship with the ongoing creation as we realize that the entire
universe is dependent upon the creative energy that vitalizes each and
every moment.”
- David A. Cooper, "Silence, Simplicity & Solitude"

“Play exists for its own sake. Play is for the moment; it is not hurried,
even when the pace is fast and timing seems important. When we play, we
also celebrate holy uselessness. Like the calf frolicking in the meadow, we
need no pretense or excuses. Work is productive; play, in its
disinterestedness and self-forgetting, can be fruitful.”
- Margaret Guenther in Toward Holy Ground

Symptoms of Inner Peace Used with kind permission by author Saskia Davis ©FEB1984, All Rights Reserved

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.

An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

A loss of interest in judging other people.

A loss of interest in judging self.

A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

A loss of interest in conflict.

A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)

Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

Frequent attacks of smiling.

An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.

An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. Warning: If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.
“How do you get world Peace? You get world Peace through Inner Peace. If you've got a world full of people who have Inner Peace, then you have a peaceful world.”
- Dr. Wayne Dyer

“In life and in love, there is only that moment, the NOW. The only reality
we know is what we experience this very second. Reality is not what has
passed or what has yet to come into being. Grabbing hold of this simple
idea makes life magical because it brings love alive.”
- Leo Buscaglia

“Just like a catsup bottle,
None will come and then a lottle.”
- Richard Armour

Good Karma

 

To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;

In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.

Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;

There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.

The true and constant must respond to phenomena;

Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.

When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;

When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.

When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;

Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.

Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;

Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.

White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;

The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.

Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;

You wander so freely—who is able to know you?

Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;

Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.

It comes entirely from these twenty lines;

A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -

"The center of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centered thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. In the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us.

Here we find that we have created Them who are Us...

Lilly's Law

"In the province of the mind, what is believed to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the(true mind..added by danny) mind, there are no limits."" -- John C. Lilly -

Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi!

The student asked: “A sage's response to changing conditions

is unlimited. Does he have to study beforehand?”

He should worry only about his mind's not being

clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”

— Wang Yang Ming (1472-1529)

To us all towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !." - Tamil Poem-

Let us irradiate Love..but how?

Lead me from dreaming to waking.

Lead me from opacity to clarity. Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain.. ...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi! so listen to the mahayogi..,grasshopper from heaven...

Wisdom for Grasshoppers - The funniest movie is here. Find it

.

In silence there must be movement, and in motion,

There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big one..
No movement is better than a small one..listen!
Silence is all the movement's mother..
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.  
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}

What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao, effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds 

The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms. Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit. This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere. -- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)

*note* interesting video I found..about ,,irradiating love,....grasshoppers from heaven..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZZd0c7r1r4
in any case..let's put the things straight like the Texas Coyote munching on his spiritual cheese sandwich ..which is stuck to his cactus mental tree?..ok?
First of all..you always,,irradiate love,,..is just you call it ,,pain,,..see?..look around..pain is good,and greed is excellent  ..every nation is irradiating the marvelous ,,love,,..while they build more nuclear bombs..more advanced rockets to wipe out the others on the spot...nothing like a good dose of serious loving..
Jessus said,,love thy fellow dude.. .irradiate love..forgive him..turn the other cheek ..,,guess his teachings are vigorously applied these days indeed...
So how one irradiates ,,the love,,?
It obvious very little joy is irradiating  ...maybe some radiation of the people/nations pains ?
So first ..grasshoppers from heaven..please find the LOVE within you..
Do NOT try to irradiate Unless you find it...or at least not pretend you are..ok?
So how you find this pure..unconditional love within us..and in others?

So how you do it?
First of all..be aware that this perfect Spirit within you..is pristine..is like a sun..you are it's form.
It also means that  this pure majestic awareness...this shinning splendor of pure LOVE...you could say
it's the GOD within you...it's ALSO in everybody else..
So open wide your ear-lobes..and hear me..
You meditate.ok?..
Beyond thoughts/body...is this shinning star like awareness.
So we witness the sensations on the body first..as in my kripto cycles I devised...

Try my Kripto Yoga ..I love it!(I love it more than you,since I am the satguru ..and busted my ass to create it)
Trust the Mahayogi!..for his eyes are like lasers..his heart like a sun..and he is the beloved in the 3 worlds ..besides the 19th one..where he worships himself with gusto indeed..
Do not think for a second YOU KNOW about pure love..unless you experienced it..dear fruitcakes grasshoppers from Heaven!
Imagine everyone you meet is YOU!...and the JOY is in seeing yourself in that person..and all sins are forgiven..and there is peace and peace forever..
Thus spokenth the Mahayogi!
And everybody was happy..in the 10 realms of creation..
kiss:)

Slam de Bernard Anton (Ben). Musique de Charles Johnson. Vocalises : Micheline Dinel et Charles Johnson. Extrait du livre-CD SLAMS DE L'ÂME, éd. l'Harmattan, Paris, 2008.
 In English :

Each soul,

Each soul is a secret garden,

where Life desires to blossom royally,
therein She cultivates Her flowers and scent of happiness.

True to the Face of Love,
each soul/garden is shaped according to it.

Love has poured therein the core of its Essence,
in the hope of seeing it buzzing into action and then giving fruits.

Our Soul is a Palace,
built minutely and with sheer benevolence.

What a joy when serenity and clarity are seen reflected in it,
What a hurt when by our own hands, its beauty is destroyed.


Each soul is an open window
on infinity and immediate Reality.

She amazes us, and enamours us,
builds our imagination and inner world,
She chisels our thoughts and draw our personality.

Your soul is a fragile mirror,
Your specimen, your showcase.

Let NO ONE break it,
what shines in you and gives you your unique radiance

Up to You to beautify it, to enrich it
Up to you to make it a cocoon, soft and comfortable,
which will be ready to welcome another friendly soul,
Being two, makes Life more worthwhile to be lived.

O Souls of all horizons !
looking like more to Love
Flowing, rolling, and bubbling
in our sap since Day one of our Creation

Let us become a field of lilies, fruits and daffodils
radiating ...
Let us irradiate Love
Let us irradiate Forever.(this translation is from some petals..he posted the translation on the comments on the video..thank you petals!..)
*note*..this reminds me of Kwan Yin

Prayer to the Mother of a Thousand Faces.

Kwan Yin, beloved mother of the Humanity ...
We thank you for being with us ...
For inspiring harmony and balance ...
For feeding our soul with kindness and mercy ...
For showing us the way that leads to you.

You are the Mystic Rose of the world,
who with your fragrance purifies everything.
You are the redemptive mother
who protects us ...
and bathes us in the spring of purity ...
To help us to heal our fears, insecurities,
and false beliefs about ourselves ...

So we can become the masters of our world ...
A world built with conscience.

Thank you, Divine Mother, for the ancient wisdom ...
that you give us every moment.

Lady of Peace ...
Master of Contemplation ...
Mother of the world ...
Nourish us with the beauty of your flowers ...
with your grace and fullness ...

Lady of the Rainbow ...
Nourish us with the rays of the Universe ...
and spread over us your endless love ...
Here and Now ...

Calm our thoughts ...
and our feelings ...
so we can follow the path of our Being
Because you are the sun that illuminate our soul...(this too someone translated...I love it!)
