THE MAYAN CALLER

What is a symbol?

 

" The symbol is like my gentleman caller who happens to speak the Mayan tongue, we call him an intermediary, what Jung calls the active imagination.

He comes in and he regulates everything; I must have had him for some years before a man came in for a reading and asked me if I happen to speak the Mayan tongue. There are still some people who speak it in the Yukatan area".

The Directions

“The Here is the There”. 
Michael Hughes regarding the transmission of Zen

The Bodhisatva

"Zen was Zen".

WHO AM I ?

Every living being longs always to be happy, untainted by sorrow;

and everyone has the greatest love for himself, which is solely due 

to the fact that happiness is his real nature. 

Hence, in order to realize that inherent and untainted happiness, which indeed he daily experiences when the mind is subdued in deep sleep, it is essential that he should

know himself. For obtaining such knowledge the enquiry ' Who am I?' in quest of the Self is the best means.

' Who am I?', I am not this physical body, nor am I the five organs of sense perception;

I am not the five organs of external activity, nor am I even the thinking mind. Therefore, summarily rejecting all the above-mentioned physical adjuncts and their functions, saying 'I am not this; no, nor am I this, nor this' - that which then remains separate and alone by itself, that pure Awareness is what I am.  

This Awareness is by its very nature Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss).

( The Collected Works of RAMANA MAHARSHI - Edited by Arthur Osborne)

Ο άχρηστος παπάς

Πολιτική είναι η θρησκεία αυτού του κόσμου και θρησκεία η πολιτική του άλλου κόσμου. Αυτή είναι η μόνη διαφορά ανάμεσα στα δύο. Και ο πολιτικός και ο παπάς βρίσκονται σε βαθιά συνωμοσία εδώ και αιώνες. 

Θα'θελα ο κόσμος να έχει πολύ περισσότερες θρησκείες. Τόσο πολλές, που κάθε άνθρωπος να έχει τη δική του θρησκεία. Τότε κανένας παπάς δεν θα είναι πια αναγκαίος. 

(Από "Το Μικρό Βιβλίο του OSHO", εκδόσεις Rebel)

A CUCKOLD AND A BULLY

Αντί γιά μιά κόμπρα δαχτυλίδι

μιά ασημένια κατσαρίδα

και πίσω από ένα ζωηρό Ζεν Βουδιστή

ένας "Δώστα Όλας".

Zen in Love

An erotic element is, however, definitely present in Hakuin's Zen art. Certain of his monumental ichi calligraphies have the appearance of huge phalluses, and there is a sketch of a pillar phallus, a common sight in rural Japan, with this inscription: "Even when the wind blows this doesn't move!".

Hakuin did many paintings of bonseki, a miniature landscape in a tray. The painting served as both a clever satire on misbehaving monks and as a love charm. Ostensibly, the inscription on the painting says,

Mr. Bon,

Are you going to worship

At Ishiyama Temple?

"Bon", however, is a homonym for "monk" in Japanese; near Ishiyama Temple there was a famous red-light district that was really the main attraction. Thus the inscription also means:

Mr. Monk,

Are you going to Ishiyama Temple

To get laid?

Towards a Transpersonal Psychology

"Thus for example, psychoanalysis does not entertain the possibility of transcendent states of consciousness and hence has tended to interpret these from its own perspective as being pathological ego regressions of near psychotic proportions. Thus, mystical experiences have been interpreted as ' neurotic regressions to union with the breast', ecstatic states viewed as 'narcissistic neurosis,' and enlightenment dismissed as regression to intrauterine stages.

Transpersonal psychology emerged in the sixties in response to a concern that the previous major models, the first three forces of Western psychology - behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and humanistic psychology - had been limited in their recognition of the upper reaches of psychological development.

As Gordon Allport noted, ' We have on the psychology of liberation-nothing.'

Toward the end of his life, Abraham Maslow, one of the major pioneers in humanistic psychology, called attention to possibilities beyond self-actualization in which the individual transcended the customary limits of identity and experience. In 1968 he concluded that, " I consider Humanistic, Third Force Psychology, to be transitional, a preparation for a still 'higher' Fourth Psychology, transpersonal, transhuman, centered in the cosmos rather than in human needs and interest, going beyond humanness, identity, self actualization and the like."
