the one who made it all - kabir

Student, do the simple purification.

You know that the seed is inside the horse-chestnut tree,

And inside the seed there are blossoms of the tree, and the chestnuts, and

the shade.

So inside the human body there is the seed, and inside the seed there is

the body again.

Fire, air, earth, water, and space - if you don't want the secret one, you

cannot have these either.

Thinkers listen, tell me what you know of that is not in the soul?

A pitcher full of water is set down on the water -

Now it has water inside and water outside.

We mustn't give it a name, lest silly people start talking again about the

body and the soul.

If you want the truth, I'll tell you the truth;

Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

The one no one talks of speaks the secret sound to himself,

And he is the one who has made it all.


another poem by Kabir

The one who has made it all.

Student, do the simple purification.

You know that the seed is inside the horse-chestnut tree,

And inside the seed there are blossoms of the tree, and the chestnuts, and

So inside the human body there is the seed, and inside the seed there is

the body again.

Fire, air, earth, water, and space - if you don't want the secret one, you

If you want the truth, I'll tell you the truth;

Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

The one no one talks of speaks the secret sound to himself,

And he is the one who has made it all.

awakening to the blob: the media machine we have created

I strongly recommend the following article to anyone who consumes media in our culture....
http://www.wie.org/j29/mediated.asp
"More than a book review"the magazine reviewer wrote as part of the title to her article in What is enlightenment magazine...

She writes: "The actual process of mediation takes place, de Zengotita explains, when what is real is represented through any form of media (think of anything from a home video to a multimillion-dollar biopic). As representations grow in variety, sophistication, and intensity, they create what he calls a “psychic sauna” of experiences, sensations, and options that we glide over the surface of, like “a little god, dipping in here and there. . . .” In a mediated world, the flattered self is the center of the universe—the consumer, the viewer, the holder of the remote control—able to opt in or out whether it be in regard to a television set or reality itself. And indeed, technological advancements make it harder and harder to even tell the difference between the two. (Take a movie like Troy, where it's impossible to distinguish the real sets, which are themselves representations of the real city of Troy, from the computer-generated ones.) And as the flood of representation becomes faster, more sensational and ubiquitous, we rarely even make the time or effort to distinguish between what is real and what is synthetic, simulated, or replicated."

YOU are LIFE

The Mastery of Love

Don Miguel Ruiz

''You are Life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. Once you find that out, not with logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life - you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. You find out that you are in every tree, and you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. You are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life.'
