DEWDROPS

Verily, love is death, and death is life to come.
Man returneth not again; the stream floweth not
uphill; the old life is no more; there is a new life
that is not his.
Yet that life is of his very essence; it is more He
than all that he calls He.
In the silence of a dewdrop is every tendency of his
soul, and of his mind, and of his body; it is the
Quintessence and the Elixir of his being. Therein
are the forces that made him and his father and his
father's father before him.
This is the Dew of Immortality.
Let this go free, even as It will; thou art not its
master, but the vehicle of It.

THE LEOPARD AND THE DEER

The spots of the leopard are the sunlight in the
glade; pursue thou the deer stealthily at thy
pleasure.
The dappling of the deer is the sunlight in the glade;
concealed from the leopard do thou feed at thy
pleasure.
Resemble all that surroundeth thee; yet be Thyself
-and take thy pleasure among the living.
This is that which is written-Lurk!-in The Book
of The Law.

SAMSON

The Universe is in equilibrium; therefore He that is
without it, though his force be but a feather, can
overturn the Universe.
Be not caught within that web, O child of Freedom!
Be not entangled in the universal lie, O child of
Truth!

THE ELEPHANT AND THE TORTOISE

The Absolute and the Conditioned together make
The One Absolute.
The Second, who is the Fourth, the Demiurge, whom
all nations of Men call The First, is a lie grafted
upon a lie, a lie multiplied by a lie.
Fourfold is He, the Elephant upon whom the
Universe is poised: but the carapace of the
Tortoise supports and covers all.
This Tortoise is sixfold, the Holy Hexagram.(15)
These six and four are ten, 10, the One manifested
that returns into the Naught unmanifest.
The All-Mighty, the All-Ruler, the All-Knower, the
All-Father, adored by all men and by me
abhorred, be thou accursed, be thou abolished, be
thou annihilated, Amen!

Istraživanje

Kada sedimo i meditiramo veoma je važno da imamo strukturu, određeni referentni okvir koji nas vodi u istraživanju sopstvenog iskustva. Ukoliko samo sedimo i posmatramo udah i izdah, pre ili kasnije um ili odluta i onda se zakači za nešto ili mu postane dosadno do tačke kada se uruši sam u sebe, a mi ostanemo da sedimo u nekakvom stanju obamrlosti, tuposti. Kada je um skoncentrisan, tada je spreman za posao, posao svakog meditanta, a to je istraživanje sopstvenog iskustva, istraživanje šta je to što nas motiviše, šta um podstiče na maštanje, šta je to što nam donosi patnju, a šta rezultira ravnotežom uma.

To su pitanja koja istražujemo kada sednemo da meditiramo. No, ponekad kao meditanti jednostavno sedimo i čekamo na nekakvo prosvetljenje koje će pasti s neba i osloboditi nas svake konfuzije -- ali um ne funkcioniše na taj način. Moramo upotrebiti svoj um da uočimo i istražimo stvarne probleme na koje se neprekidno saplićemo, a da bismo na kraju bolje razumeli upravo taj um i same sebe. I tu je tačka u kojoj sebe ohrabrujemo na svesnost, na vraćanje na dah. Udah i izdah koristimo da jasnije uočimo pokrete uma. Koristeći prirodni ritam disanja kao okvir da bismo lakše uočili u kojem pravcu se kreće um, da jasnije vidimo to kretanje. A to pomno posmatranje u granicama objekta meditacije nam onda razjašnjava, pomaže da razumemo pravu prirodu uma.
