Until death do us apart

How can one judge someone ? One can indeed judge everybody else judging from himself, provided that he has a true nature. If he does have a true nature he can judge the whole world. If not, he is fooled by everyobody, including the world.

I gave you water, will you give me your light?

O tafos tou Hindu

Έβρεχε στο σύμπαν του Λόφου τακτικά,

κρύο και πάλι στο κέντρο.

Τι να κάνει τώρα;

Είναι με την Χίλαρυ στο DC,

με τον Μαεζούμι στην Αθήνα,

ή με το Ιησού στο Βερολίνο;

Εις το επανιδείν.

Hui-neng and Dogen, a poetic comparison

This body is the Bodhi tree.

The soul is like the mirror bright.

Take heed to keep it always clean

and let no dust collect upon it.

Hui-neng  

The body of existence

and nonexistence

Are both this one body,
In emptiness,

There are not two tastes.   

                                                                 

Dogen

THE SECRET DOCTRINE

That which is meant by "personality", being a limitation and a relation, or, as defined by Coleridge, "individuality existing in itself but with a nature as a ground", the term cannot of course be applied to non-human entities; but, as a fact insisted upon generations of Seers, none of these beings, high or low, have either individuality or personality as separate Entities i.e., they have no individuality in the sense in which a man says, "I am myself and no one else".

(by Helena P. Blavatsky)

Why was Jung the story of your life?

Hughes:    "Why was Jung the story of my life?

                 Because I was the story of his life. That's where

                 he broke away from Freud: with the personifications

                 of the unconscious."

Question: "On the other hand, did Jung help you?"

Hughes:    "In a way, yes, because when you have fifty boogeymen

                 you better know who you are".

Για μια μετα-πολιτική

Δεν ύπάρχει πόλος έλξης αντιθετικός,

ένας μόνο, της εξόδου, και αυτός αντιφατικός.

ΑΦΟΥ ΣΕ ΠΟΝΑΕΙ, ΓΙΑΤΙ ΣΟΥ ΑΡΕΣΕΙ;

Στο καπνίζειν και το φθορισμό

της αναμονής έχω βρει προορισμό.

Σε κάποιου αεροδρόμιου το τέλος,

μια ζώνη ασφαλείας που σφίγγει απαλά

η λάμψη της προσγείωσης.

My invisible guests

"They (the invisible guests) materialize. It's like Jesus appeared from the next room. You go to a party, you are introduced to someone and it's like, "Where were you before we met for the last time, four hundred years ago?".

Michael Hughes on that special presence
