Defeat

If separation is destined,
Why it is being delayed;
Let us go asunder
At the very moment,
You will close the eyes
At the very moment,
And I shall place my hand
Upon my heart,
And you will say to me,
Detached are the paths,
Asunder are the destinations;
But be patient! Be patient!
And listen to me my love,
If separation is destined,
Why it is being delayed,
We will perform it now,
We will depart very moment.

Let Us Now Become The 100%

Why must it always be “Us and them”?
When we’re all part of humankind
Can a rose live without its roots or stem?
Can justice prevail when men are deaf n’ blind?

The time is nigh for global re-formation,
When all come together, for a lasting peace
A time when it’s no longer “Nation against Nation”
A time when all conflict n’ war shall finally cease

Take to heart this poignant affirmation;
“Separation for any reason is still separation”
We must forever heal our need to spew n’ vent,
“Let us now become the 100%”

Dreaming Of Li Bai (1)

Separation by death must finally be choked down,
but separation in life is a long anguish,

Chiang-nan is a pestilential land;
no word from you there in exile.

You have been in my dreams, old friend,
as if knowing how much I miss you.

Caught in a net,
how is it you still have wings?

I fear you are no longer mortal;
the distance to here is enormous.

When your spirit came, the maples were green;
when it went, the passes were black.

The setting moon spills light on the rafters;
for a moment I think it's your face.

I want to be with you

I want to be with you
and times take its toll,
make that I fear the separation,

cause me to long for you the whole time
with the distance that divides us
and times take its toll

and come and stand between you and me
and I do not know what to do
with the distance that divides us.

When I start longing
I only think about how much I love you
and I do not know what to do

since I am hindered from you
and when I see things in a different light
I only think about how much I love you

Seven Steps Of Personal Transformation

Alchemy performed in the lower realm self and Earth:

CALCINATION; Burning away of the ego

DISSOLUTION; Decomposition (Subjective) of the ego

SEPARATION; The uncovering (objective) of the ego’s deception

CONJUNCTION; Reintegration of self and Earth

Alchemy performed in the transpersonal and collective unconscious:

FERMENTATION; from the death and putrefaction of the ego new life/self emerges

DISTILLATION; The repeated separation and recombination of the subtle and gross personality, that continues until peace and well-being bond.

COAGULATION; The combining and integration of the corporal and spiritual self, making it possible to dwell in and go between physical and spiritual realms

Three Worlds

I see a world
Where love exists
The source
Of everything

A world of Beings
Who recognize
A connection
To ALL that is

There are
No borders
No prejudice
No anger hate
Or greed

Where all that is
Is all that they
Will ever need

The Subconscious Shield

Inside of each of us,
Is our own protective defense.
Providing protection from hurt (and truth) ,
By means of isolation and separation,
From others, that we deep down,
Know will only cause us pain.

So should I fight my own shield?
Why do I need to be protected,
From one whom I truly love?
They say, sometimes the hardest battle,
Is within yourself.

So how do you fight when your against yourself?
What weapon do I use to combat myself?
Isolation and separation of course
But not people, instead form these thoughts and my mind

Distractions and illusions are my weapon of choice
In this war of mine

Letter From Abélard To Héloïse

The separation were very painful
but still you are part of me
although it feels as if everything is coming to an end

but you remain inoculated into me, while my thoughts run wild,
life wanted to get me down,
but still you are part of me

while your loss and pain exhausts my body,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,
life wanted to get me down,

but vulnerable I dared to write love letters to you,
I wanted to press you against my chest,
your voice have faded in my thoughts,

but I have brought you back sharp from memories,
I could even smell your scent, feel your nearness,
wanted to press you against my chest,

0245 The Sound of The Flute

Listen to the sound of this reed-flute –
hear what it says. First, it laments
its banishment; its tearing away
from its home, its reed-bed. And
this alone, tears at the yearning heart
of all those whose heart feels far from home.
Listen to it.

Then behind its breathy air
is fire – the fire of love; that sound
which tells every love-story in the world,
of lovers, parted, yearning to be
together once more. This flute first
tells of separation; then of unity.
Listen to it.

Do not listen to this dangerous
flute, unless you wish to hear
the innermost secrets of your heart –
the parting and the separation,
