When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.
Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.
When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,
Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
Ill go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you,
I am you..my beloved...

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 -

*note*
So I composed this never heard stanza:
Behold the love story
One lollipop named Shiva
One power as Shakti
One is the lover
One the beloved
The awareness turns into itself
Spring is here..2 birds sing together as one
You make my heart go giddy up:)
The rest is bliss silence...
Thus spokenth the mahayogi:)
before I'll go in my vacation (again) ..I want to tell you something.You are a resonator only,in the light of ONE..as moon reflects the light of the sun,you have no identity outside of this One..you might ask me..but kripto,the mighty one..you told me you'll kill me and only bones will remain of me..and I say to you,my friends... men and women..that only your wrong ideas about reality must die,and this is the truth...only bones will remain of them..confusing the terms?..
What I speak about is the power within,the source which we,men and women can reach if we develop the wisdom muscles,and know to not be idiots.The truth destroys the errors of the men and women self-inflicted pains ..the issue is this..what IF they don't want to be free,and love their pains?..this is the issue... The Mountain of Truth(from Vernon Howard) A king once ruled over a nation of unhappy people. Wanting to help his subjects, the king asked a wise man, “Is there a way to relieve my people of their sorrows?” “Yes, there is,” replied the wise man. “As you know, just outside of town there is a height known as the Mountain of Truth. Ask everyone to leave their troubles at the base of the mountain. That is all they need do.” The King issued a joyous proclamation. Everyone was invited to bring his problems to the Mountain of Truth at once. Every kind of difficulty could be left there, including Sorrow, Conflict, Fear, Tension, Worry and Hostility. At the end of twenty-four hours, the king was stunned. Out of his thousands of subjects, only ten had left their miseries at the mountain. “This is incredible,” he told the wise man. “I don’t understand. Everyone assured me he wanted to get rid of unhappiness.” The wise man nodded. “I knew this would happen, but also knew you would never believe me until you saw for yourself. You see, most people secretly love their suffering. Conflict and hostility provide excitement, a false feeling of life. Our first task is to show them the difference between artificial life and true life.”
As for me I am dead already..and LOVING IT!!...
when,if I ever said..YOU MUST die!!..or..Only bones will remain of you,,..I meant the wrong ideas,not your body...your body will die anyway..as my body will...do you think I care about it?..it's made of the 5 elements,for kripto's sake!..it was born from some sperm and an ovule..then you grew up..look at you how beautiful you are!!!..then you''ll go 6 feet under in some coffin so you'll not stink the living with your decaying,rotten eggs smell..numb-nuts you are..whole life in vain..and you end up in a coffin..shame on you!
Please understand I am a mahayogi,one of a kind..so beautiful I even kiss myself(and my wisdom muscles) when I see myself in the mirror..I am so lovely..I even cry in tears and worship myself...but I SPEAK IN PARABLES..my only hope is you hate me enough so you find the truth..or love me enough..whatever works..my beloveds men and women...for I am beyond the mind realm.
My fight is for truth..truth as power,wisdom,and whatever you call it...peace,love,wisdom,truth.
And I AM INVINCIBLE ..because I rely on TRUTH itself..not on thought-forms..and truth is pure love,and unity.
Truth about life itself.
Truth about the meaning of truth.
Truth about the simple fact that we are just resonators in the mind of Awareness(which can't be explained,since is above)
Truth about when I have drowned when I was 5 year old..and as I was sitting on the bottom of the swimming pool...my whole life of a 5 years old flashed above me,and I had seen even the time when I was born..like a screen movie..this stuff is real about drowning,really..YOU SEE EVERYTHING,LIKE IMAGES ON A MOVIE SCREEN..but THERE is no judge...and the VOICE I heard at 5 years old..which was mine..said..NOT YET!..
THEN SOME power took me above the water pool..truth..that experience shaped my life.
I tell you this..grasshoppers..the real you is the witness inside you,as sun..while you are the moon reflecting...YOGA means to understand the resonator factor,and apply it...
The universe is experiencing itself thru you..see?
Unless you understand the resonating factor...only bones will remain of you..for you'll always take the external manifestations as truth,while they are just illusions.
Thus spokenth the mahayogi..
ps..as the sun shines,be aware that you can reflect..imagining things will become reality..but if they are NOT in truth..you'll suffer...remember my words..
Happy holidays for all..I'll post a former post just for fun.. it's the http://kriptodanny.blogspot.com/2010/05/you-make-my-heart-go-giddy-up.html ps..I post this clip in the memory of Leslie Nielsen..(Leslie William Nielsen, OC (11 February 1926 – 28 November 2010)[1] was a Canadian and naturalized American actor and comedian.[2][3] Nielsen appeared in over one hundred films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters) he was almost as funny as me..this guy knew how to dance being dead,while loving it...reminds me of that Bunan guy... Die while you're alive
and be absolutely dead.
Then do whatever you want:
it's all good.

*note* Shakti saying to Shiva..,,,you make my heart go diggy up,,,the same story from the beginning of time..the song is from Millie Small In late 1963 she went to Forest Hill, London to make her fourth recording, an Ernest Ranglin rearrangement of "My Boy Lollipop", which had seen original release by Barbie Gaye in late 1956. Released in March 1964, Small's cover was a massive hit, reaching number two both in the UK Singles Chart[2] and in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It also topped the chart in Australia. Initially it sold over 600,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[3] Including singles sales, album usage and compilation inclusions, the song has since sold more than seven million copies worldwide.[1]..the lyrics are here.. My boy lollipop, You made my heart go giddy up. You are as sweet as candy; You're my sugar dandy. Ha, ho my boy lollipop, Never ever leave me, Because it would grieve me. My heart told me so, I love ya, I love ya, I love ya so. That I want ya to know, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya so, and I'll never let you go. My boy lollipop, you make my heart go giddy up. You set my world on fire, you are my one desire. My boy lollipop
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya so.
That I want ya to know,
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya so,
and I'll never let you go.
My boy lollipop,
you make my heart go giddy up.
You set my world on fire,
you are my one desire.
My boy lollipop
My boy lollipop
My boy lollipop
So I composed this never heard stanza:
Behold the love story

*note* I just came on this article where the writer says,,We do not know how the saliva used in the technique contributes to the healing effect, but it is interesting to note that qigong practitioners consider saliva (which they call 'jade liquid') to be full of life force energy or chi and actively incorporate swallowing saliva for instance in a qigong "walk" particularly geared to help heal a person"
But of course,it takes a mighty mahayogi,one of a kind..ruler of the 3 worlds..the beloved,immortal so full of wisdom Kripto the Mighty he might explode his wisdom muscle trying to explain you why the saliva holding in the mouth helps...
..first of all..the holding of saliva activates the parasympathetic system..the one whom regulates your heart rate,digestion,etc..so you'll loose your ego intentions(false ideas) about the issue.(that's the will,or the sympathetic system whom you use to do push-ups or to run a marathon...or hold saliva..
Be careful you TAP into the subconscious power when you hold the saliva..it works because you activate the body wisdom,then you just let it go,put intention,and let the universal wisdom within you do the job..regardless of your crazy ideas of how it should be..comprende,grasshoppers??..and be aware that the intention can not be of harming others since the power is one..as you heal yourself you heal others,by the universe power)
You'll just concentrate on holding the saliva..see?..then you TAP in a power beyond you...which is in you..see?..grasshoppers?
Be aware that this technique it'd been around for thousands of years..every now and then,a numb-nuts rediscover it...and then wonders if someone could explain.Well..I did just now..Happy holidays..for the original MIND is one,yet it splits in many...
After that it takes impressions of the 5 elements(and one of them is your very consciousness who reads this post right now..)
Thus spokenth the mahayogi..and happy holidays to all..let the true power of unity emerge in the hearts of men and women..and let the bliss of their true nature be manifesting in the 3 realms of creation, so the suffering will be a thing understood as vital for individual,yet just a step on the ladder of immortality,when we are all one in collectivity,yet unique in our manifestations ..like kripto is...the immortal beloved one.
And so be it.
I have spokenth...whom have ears to listen..let them hear the mahayogi words!!!
HALELUYAH!

A simple but powerful self-healing technique involving visualization, intention and - saliva!
The following article written by holistic healer Len Walker (UK) reveals an astonishingly simple (and thus “hard to believe”) but apparently very powerful DIY technique he used to heal himself of two serious and painful health issues (scoliosis and a gallstone trapped in the duct leading to excruciating pain), the former having been of very long standing. The same freely available healing technique is now successfully applied by others he has shared it with, to help heal a number of different health issues. While Len has no experience with using this technique for cancer, he feels certain that it will reduce recovery time.
We do not know how the saliva used in the technique contributes to the healing effect, but it is interesting to note that qigong practitioners consider saliva (which they call 'jade liquid') to be full of life force energy or chi and actively incorporate swallowing saliva for instance in a qigong "walk" particularly geared to help heal a person of cancer (for details how to learn this specific qigong technique without charge, see Self-Applied Qigong for Cancer: Chinese Qi Energy [Wellbeing] Walk Demonstrated Online. When watching this free video, you may notice that the qigong grandmaster demonstrating the technique swallows his saliva repeatedly as if having a surplus of fluid in his mouth).
The reader may also wish to combine this technique with the oil pulling method proposed for detoxification and healing purposes.
Many years ago before I'd even thought about becoming a healer, I healed myself of a bad case of scoliosis. I'd like to share the very simple method I used with others, though if everyone started to use it, half the doctors and healers in the world might be put out of work. The only problem is, it's so simple, most people I tell about it seem to think this just can't work and don't continue for more than a day or so, although the few who give it a chance, end up using it all the time. My self-healing of scoliosis: the basic technique
My mother had seen a TV program about (this was a long time ago and I don't remember the details) doctors in the US using this for pain control for operations with no anesthetic. She phoned me to tell me about it because she knew how much pain I was in, but the thing I do remember her saying was, there had not been one case of postoperative infection using the method. This struck me as strange; even then I knew the body was far more intelligent than doctors even today give it credit for. So I just took it one stage further, and I was desperate at the time!
All one has to do is to allow about a tablespoon of saliva to build up in the mouth and hold it there for a period, whilst visualizing oneself without the problem e.g. if one had eczema on the hands, see them as normal. If one is not very good at visualization, one can tell the body to return to its natural balance instead (this technique is somewhat slow but acceptable).
Too simple to be true, yes! But it works! Add to this the Emotion Code (magnets) technique for any emotional component to the problem, and the healing potential would seem endless and apply not just to physical symptoms, but also to emotional ones.
If one needs to talk, drink, and so on, just swallow and then start again, there's no need to concentrate the whole time, if one holds the saliva in the mouth for an hour visualizing five or six times for thirty or forty seconds, that would be OK, though the more often the better, but one can get on with one's life. Personally I tend to do it when I am driving or doing something else that only takes part of my concentration.
I had been in pain for years with the scoliosis refusing an operation and spending a small fortune at my osteopaths, just to keep the pain at a tolerable level. For less than a month I spent about an hour a day using this method, and the first week I got rid of the pain. Then I decided to see if I could fix the scoliosis, after two weeks the spine was straight, I gave it one more week and went back to the osteopath, the scoliosis had gone. I've had no problems with my back since. Serious gallstone pain healed avoiding surgery
Nine years ago I developed a terrible pain in my stomach around my solar plexus. For days I attempted to heal the problem and kept the pain at bay with the saliva technique (though obviously it's best to deal with the main problem) but I didn't know what it was. A few days later, my partner Sarah came home and said I had turned bright yellow, so off to the hospital I went with my tail between my legs. Thank god for doctors' brilliant diagnostics, I had a gallstone trapped in the duct, the gallbladder was backing up giving me the pain and turning me yellow.
I was scheduled for surgery the next day. The last thing I was going to do was let them cut me open and remove something I was designed with.
So instead while holding saliva in my mouth, I started to imagine the stone coming out of the duct and going back into the bladder. I also moved my hand in an anticlockwise direction over where I hoped the gallbladder was. A few seconds later I felt and heard a whoosh in my side. Leaving it at that, I went to sleep. In the morning my eyes were almost back to normal but my skin took a few days to assume its normal colour. I won't bother mentioning what the doctors wrote on my notes because no one would believe me, but there were a lot of exclamation marks. Sarah changed my diet and I dealt with the emotion of resentment that had caused the stones to build up in the first place. I've had no problems with the gallbladder since. What health issues and/or other purposes can this visualization/intention cum saliva self-healing technique be applied to?
Personally I think the saliva technique can be used to deal with a wide spectrum of issues and really do think this is a fantastic method of self-healing. Hence one can apply it to all kinds of problems, osteoporosis, arthritis, and other bone and joint problems all the way out to the skin. For pain issues, one simply tells the pain that one has got the message, and to go away.
While I have no idea if this technique is of use for cancer, it will certainly reduce recovery time.
So if you have any health problems, please try it out yourself.
I even had a client I told about the method (as I do with most clients) who told me she changed her figure in this manner to make it more in line with what she wanted her figure to be.
In fact, sometimes we even use the saliva for endurance in addition to healing. So if you try it for better sports performance or a long walk uphill, just remember to start before you get out of breath and have to breathe through your mouth. Can anyone apply this technique?
I believe so. In fact I've found that the only time people seem to struggle is when they have a blocked nose. Is the healing effect just due to the well-documented power of intense and repeated visualization? I have tried just visualizing, to good effect but there's something almost magic with the saliva, so I think the saliva is indeed an essential part of this. Hopefully in the future someone will be able to tell us how it works. I find it interesting that now when I hurt myself instantly extra saliva is produced, We have two Doberman Pincher dogs who are always bashing into things as they play fight. I've noticed they seem to produce extra saliva when they are in pain too, I've often wondered about all of this.
As far as cancer is concerned you may have heard of the experiments done with visualizing zapping cancer, I would love to see the same done using the zapping visualization combined with the above saliva technique.

Live long and prosper,my George giant lobster...you 140 years old one!
quote"A giant lobster named George escaped a dinner-table fate and was released Saturday into the Atlantic Ocean after a New York seafood restaurant granted him his freedom, according to a statement from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The lobster, which PETA said was 140 years old and weighed 20 pounds, had been confined to a tank at City Crab and Seafood restaurant in Manhattan when two customers alerted the animal group.
The PETA statement did not say how the extraordinary age estimate was determined, but restaurant manager Keith Valenti told CNN that lobsters can grow a pound every seven to 10 years, and he put George's weight at 18 to 20 pound"

*note* Zen Master Man Gong (1872 - 1946)I love this guy...
quote"Zen Master Man Gong (1872 - 1946) was the leading dharma heir of Zen Master Kyong Ho. His first awakening came while practicing with the kong-an: "The ten thousand dharmas return to the one: Where does the one return to?"
He shared Kyong Ho's focus on bringing Zen to lay men and women, as well as monks and nuns. During the Japanese occupation of Korea (1905 - 1945), Korean monks and nuns were forced to renounce their celibacy and marry in the manner of Japanese Buddhism. However, Man Gong refused to obey the Japanese order and was able to sustain traditional Korean Zen throughout the occupation. Following the end of World War II, he wrote the famous calligraphy, "The Whole World Is A Single Flower."
Man Gong was noted for his ability to cut through students' attachments to name and form, as shown in this dialogue:
A monk once asked Man Gong, "Where is the Buddha's teaching?"
Man Gong replied, "Right in front of you."
The monk then said, "You say, 'Right in front of you,' but I don't see it."
"You make I," answered Man Gong, "so you don't see it."
The monk asked him, "Do you see it, Master?"
Man Gong responded, "If you make I, it's difficult to see it. But if you make you, it's even more difficult to see it."
Whenever we separate the world (into you and I, right and wrong, etc.), we trade the truth of life for a story about experience. Man Gong continually cut away the storytelling, to reveal things as they are. He once wrote the following poem about this:
Holding a bamboo stick, never stop.
Already arrive in front of Bo Duk Cave.
Who is host, who is the guest? They cannot see each other.
Only very close by, the gurgle of the stream.
Among all creatures, human beings are the most valuable because they are able to attain their true selves!
The way of the Buddha cannot be attained through thinking or theories.
Nothingness is the most frightening thing to human beings.
Most people think about the universe in only materialistic terms, but the true substance of the universe cannot be found that way.
My true Dharma speech cannot be heard -- that is my final Dharma speech...
-added by danny-
ps..I'll try to explain what he meant...
...........
Among all creatures, human beings are the most valuable because they are able to attain their true selves!
He means here that the knowing aspect is only possible on the human form..he means that if you are an ant,you just follow the pattern..that's why he says..Among all creatures, human beings are the most valuable because they are able to attain their true selves!
The way of the Buddha cannot be attained through thinking or theories...
What he means by that?..he means the very mind you're using is just a product of the kripto awareness inside you..no thinking and no teachings can NOT help you,unless you access the root cause of the thinking itself!
POnder...
Since the universe is DUAL...born of tension between yang and yin...always act knowing the good side is there..if you look for it,and know how the universe works..
The witness is not part of creation ..yet..is the source.Why?..to know itself..I see you..
But do you see me,my friend?
Nothingness is the most frightening thing to human beings...this is the part I like the most.
People believe they loose themselves when meditating...why?...remember the duality of the universe,and the one whom is not dual?
But I tell you..unless you loose yourself,you won't discover yourself.
And the powers inside you will either force you by pain..or by Clint Eastwood..trust me.
Most people think about the universe in only materialistic terms, but the true substance of the universe cannot be found that way....
He means that manifestation cannot be taken as real..since is bound on time..space...and a nice coffin waiting for your ass soon...don't be stupid!
My true Dharma speech cannot be heard -- that is my final Dharma speech....he means that the one expresses,but you can't touch it..it is the source,but above..is you inside,but knowing itself by manifesting as you..but above all..can't touch it.
Why is that?..because he touches itself experiencing himself in your form..isn't that amazing?..kisses..
Among all creatures, human beings are the most valuable because they are able to attain their true selves!

*note* This must be the laziest monkey in the world..I love her!!...that's my kind of monkey!!!
quote "A lazy monkey hitches a ride to the top of a tree - sitting on the back of a parrot...This squirrel monkey is enjoying the benefits of befriending the blue and gold macaw by hopping on its back for rides.
The bone idle animal lives with a male and female parrot at a countryside hotel, and the trio have become inseparable.
‘Its favorite activity is to climb on the back of the parrot and ride it around,’ said photographer Alejandro Jaramillo, 23, who spotted the unlikely pals in San Agustin, Colombia.

Amazingly, the monkey never fell off. It holds on by putting its arms around the parrot’s neck.
‘Every once in a while the owners of the hotel have to throw water on the monkey to separate it from the parrots – it just loves to be with them.
Fly monkey...fly like the wind...the parrot loves you..always did!!!

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.

gotta love this Bankei master...quote"The Real Miracle When Bankei was preaching at Ryumon temple, a Shinshu priest, who believed in salvation through the repetition of the name of the Buddha of Love, was jealous of his large audience and wanted to debate with him.
Bankei was in the midst of a talk when the priest appeared, but the fellow made such a disturbance that Bankei stopped his discourse and asked about the noise.
"The founder of our sect," boasted the priest, "had such miraculous powers that he held a brush in his hand on one bank of the river, his attendant held up a paper on the other bank, and the teacher wrote the holy name of Amida through the air. Can you do such a wonderful thing?"
Bankei replied lightly: "Perhaps your fox can perform that trick, but that is not the manner of Zen. My miracle is that when I feel hungry I eat, and when I feel thirsty I drink."
Confusing the source with it's manifestations ..the priest was deluded,you see?..
About me...I can show powers because I know how they work in the dream world .. Remember I even reduplicated my body to appear to people when I wanted..you are selling carrots to a mahayogi?...all of the miraculous powers are on the mind realm...READ MY LIPS!!
The whole universe is a bubble of the supreme mind realm..are you kidding me?.. ..you are NOT that!..that is manifestation only!..even the supreme mind realm is a manifestation...my deluded grasshoppers..kisses to you:)
Now ponder..grasshoppers..what Bankei meant by saying ,, my miracle is when I am hungry I eat?? ..then he said...Perhaps your fox can perform that trick, but that is not the manner of Zen. My miracle is that when I feel hungry I eat , and when I feel thirsty I drink...he meant that from the radiant awareness manifesting as eating..he was not confused..this is paramount for the grasshoppers to figure out.
Please meditate harder...then you'll know the truth,and bliss inside yourself..really...
Imagine the source consciousness as the lake,the intention as the pebble you throw into the lake,and the awareness as the source of both you,the lake,and the pebble?..if you can imagine? The radiant aspect of awareness just ,,sees,, the eating,,..while in the same time ,,enjoys it,,..thru you,the one with attention on eating.
Is like a bubble formed between the soul and the spirit within energizing the process..see?..the spirit is the witness,while your soul is experiencing. The power is of the spirit...the absolute, not differentiated bliss is also on the spirit level...the seeing itself thru manifestation in consciousness is on soul level..THAT one experiences..you,in flesh and bones..man and woman.. ...because the spirit is the watcher,see?..grasshoppers? Kiss me when you grow the wisdom muscles...I am waiting..
Where have all the flowers gone,Long time passing,Where have all the flowers gone,Long time ago Where have all the flowers gone,Young girls picked them every oneWhen will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the young girls gone,Long time passing,Where have all the young girls gone,Long time ago,Where have all the young girls gone,gone to young men every oneWhen will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the young men gone,Long time passing,Where have all the young men gone,Long time ago,Where have all the young men gone,gone to soldiers every one,When will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the soldiers gone,Long time passing,Where have all the soldiers gone,Long time ago,Where have all the soldiers gone,Gone to graveyards every oneWhen will they ever learn When will they ever learn Where have all the graveyards gone,Long time passing,Where have all the graveyards gone,Long time ago,Where have all the graveyards gone,Gone to flowers every one When will they ever learn When will they ever learn..asks the mahayogi..??? by pain and suffering or by bliss?..up to them,I say..grasshoppers..up to you.
Please be aware that he called the priest a ,,fox,,..what a fox means?..a fox is the most intelligent among species of dogs(aka.. meditators...that's all..and remember ,,no fox could be trained ..they have a mind of their own...that's why Bankei called the priest a ,,fox,,..fixed in his ideas of self-understanding. ..that's all.
I love this Bankei master,indeed..kisses to all:)
Thus spokenth the mahayogi..

The Zen Master Hoshin lived in China many years. Then he returned to the northeastern part of Japan, where he taught his disciples. When he was getting very old, he told them a story he had heard in China. This is the story:
One year on the twenty-fifth of December, Tokufu, who was very old, said to his disciples: "I am not going to be alive next year so you fellows should treat me well this year."
The pupils thought he was joking, but since he was a great-hearted teacher each of them in turn treated him to a feast on succeeding days of the departing year.
On the eve of the new year, Tokufu concluded: "You have been good to me. I shall leave tomorrow afternoon when the snow has stopped."
The disciples laughed, thinking he was aging and talking nonsense since the night was clear and without snow. But at midnight snow began to fall, and the next day they did not find their teacher about. They went to the meditation hall. There he had passed on.
Hoshin, who related this story, told his disciples: "It is not necessary for a Zen master to predict his passing, but if he really wishes to do so, he can."
"Can you?" someone asked.
"Yes," answered Hoshin. "I will show you what I can do seven days from now."
None of the disciples believed him, and most of them had even forgotten the conversation when Hoshin called them together.
"Seven days ago," he remarked, "I said I was going to leave you. It is customary to write a farewell poem, but I am neither a poet or a calligrapher. Let one of you inscribe my last words."
His followers thought he was joking, but one of them started to write.
"Are you ready?" Hoshin asked.
"Yes sir," replied the writer.
Then Hoshin dictated:
I came from brilliancy
And return to brilliancy
What is this?
This line was one line short of the customary four, so the disciple said: "Master, we are one line short."
Hoshin, with the roar of a conquering lion, shouted "Kaa!" and he just died...because he was very disappointed that even watching his death... his disciples could not grasp the mystery of his kripto words...for those whom have ears to listen..let them listen.

Dürckheim was born in Munich. He was a descendant of old Bavarian nobility whose parents still had a fortune, eventually lost during bad economic times.
In his early twenties, he was reading in the Tao Te Ching of Lao-Tzu.
"Suddenly it happened! I was listening and lightning went through me. The veil was torn asunder, I was awake! I had just experienced 'It'. Everything existed and nothing existed. Another Reality had broken through this world. I myself existed and did not exist..."
"I had experienced that which is spoken of in all centuries: individuals, in whatever stage of their lives, have had an experience which struck them with the force of lightning and linked them once and for all to the circuits of True Life."
Meister Eckhart became very important for him. "I recognize in Eckhart my master, the master. But we can only approach him if we eliminate the conceptual consciousness."
Dürckheim was a professor at Kiel for a few years. Then it was discovered that he had a Jewish grandmother. Eventually he became an envoy for Nazi Germany's foreign ministry under Joachim von Ribbentrop. Before World War II, in 1938, he was sent to Japan, residing there for eight years.
After the war, Tokyo was occupied by Americans. Dürckheim went into hiding in Karuizawa and was arrested on October 30, 1945 by agents of the US Counter-Intelligence Corps[1]. He was imprisoned for a year and a half in Sugamo Prison. "That time of captivity was precious to me because I could exercise zazen meditation and remain in immobility for hours." Graf "Duerckheim" is identified by Albert Stunkard in Zen Teaching, Zen Practice, (Weatherhill 2000) edited by Kenneth Kraft, as the person who suggested to Stunkard that he should visit D.T. Suzuki in Kita Kamakura, not far from the Sugamo prison. That visit started a chain reaction of visitors to the Suzuki residence, one of whom was Philip Kapleau, author of The Three Pillars of Zen and founder of the Rochester Zen Center. Dürckheim thus was directly responsible for launching Zen into the American mainstream.
Along with psychologist Maria Hippius, Dürckheim founded the "Center of existential and psychological formation and encounter" in the early 1950s. It was located in the Black Forest village of Todtmoos-Rutte. His books were based on his conferences, and were influential in Europe.
"What I am doing is not the transmission of Zen Buddhism; on the contrary, that which I seek after is something universally human which comes from our origins and happens to be more emphasized in eastern practices than in the western."
Dürckheim's "Initiation Therapy" dealt with the encounter between the profane, mundane, "little" self — the ego — and the true Self. "The therapist is not the one who heals, that is, who intervenes with his own skills; he is a therapist in the original meaning of the word: a companion on the way.Quotations
"The man, who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages his old self to survive. Rather, he will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the suffering and pass courageously through it. Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring."

So I changed a little bit the lyrics..it goes like this..
If you knew me Peggy Sue(Friedrich Alfred ) - then you’d know why I feel blue
without Peggy - my Peggy Sue..my beautiful Alfred
oh well, I love you man - yes, I love you Peggy Sue
Why I say that?..first of all,he was realized,and he knew the truth.
Second..he was looking from the bubble of existence from the soul point of view..
That was very unfortunate,because this method would never work,unless there are some old souls,ready.
The true method is from grace,from within out,not from outside in..But I still love you,Peggy Sue,my beautiful Alfred from Germany!
THE TRINITY OF BEING
The fall of humanity brought on the unfortunate distresses around which gravitate all of Durckheim's work. They are three in number and are the common denominator of all other suffering:
* the fear of death: a stream cut off from its source ceases to exist, that is a law of nature.
A man cut off from his divine core, from which he receives himself constantly, will
inevitably head toward suffering and death, and his existence is marked by this profound anguish, for everything is hostile and threatning to him;
* the meaninglessness of life: man is created to nourish himself of God and to unite himself to Him. If he does not respond to this fundamental aspiration of his whole being, his life has no more meaning, everything is absurd, and he is never satisfied;
* solitude: man living without God finds himself alone. He identifies himself with his little self and enters into a world of division: life becomes "me against the world." The hypertrophy of the mundane self makes true encounter difficult and solitude inevitable.
Yet this triple distress represents for Durckheim a reality which expresses the whole Bible. Man "in the image of God" is promised from the beginning a triple blessing: delighting in the life of God, possessing the Kingdom of heaven and powers through the gifts of the Spirit. Is it then surprising that Satan tempts Adam and Eve in their very happiness?
Indeed, there are three temptations and they contain all the others (see Genesis 3):
* Adam eats of t he tree of knowledge prohibited by God: he falls therefore into the world of enjoyment without God. But this enjoyment leads straight to death! Freud and his descendants have shown that "man dug his ditch with his teeth" and that the bed of Eros was in reality a tomb. Adam is then chased out of paradise, that is, he loses his interiority since he seeks his pleasure elsewhere, on the outside;
* "The tree was desirable" continues the text of Genesis, and this is the world of
possession without God. We place our desire for infinity into the finite, in that which is mined by erosion and ruin. The richest man in the world is also the saddest man in the world. His golden palace is a prison whose windows open onto the absurdity of life..
and from DIALOGUE ON THE PATH OF
INITIATION
The Life and Thought of Karlfried Graf Durckheim
by Alphonse Goettmann http://authorsden.com/SampleWorksPDF/4581.pdf
It awakens in the disciple a force which annihilates all arrogance and also gives him the courage to look death in the face, the death of all that is not Life, Truth, and Light within. This radiance is not sentimental, but cutting, harsh, and yet full of warmth; the Master can be harsh in order to fill the other with beatitude and freedom. The example of the Master is never offered for imitation. His figure is original, unique, and inimitable like the very Life which he
incorporates. That is what distinguishes him from other false masters.
Through what he says,
his attitude and his way of being, he seeks only one thing: to provoke the disciple to his own reality, to reveal his originality, the inner Master and Being which comes through him. He is not in any way the "good example" or the model, nor someone who knows more, but simply being himself, he witnesses to the transparence of the Transcendent. Finally, shock is often one of the greatest means which the Master utilizes......
"The man, who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages his old self to survive. Rather, he will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the suffering and pass courageously through it. Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring."
