Obstacles

If he wants to work on himself, he must destroy his peace. To have them both is in no way possible. A man must make a choice. But when chosing the result is very often deceit, that is to say, a man tries to deceive himself. In words he choses work but in reality he does not want to lose his peace.

Such submission is the most difficult thing there can be for a man who things that he is capable of deciding anything. - Ouspensky

Who know Higher Life

The eternal world or external life is not a valley of suffering for those who enjoy it, but only for those who know of higher life. The animal enjoys animal life; the intellect the intellectual realm; but he who has entered into regeneration recognizes his terrestrial existence as a burden and prison. With this recognition he takes upon himself the cross of Christ. – Jacob Boehme

Autumn Leaves

Jacques Prevert

Les feuilles mortes

Oh ! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux oů nous étions amis.
En ce temps-lŕ la vie était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brűlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a' la pelle.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié...
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a' la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais.

[Refrain:]
C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble.
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais.
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment,
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent a' la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidele
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie.
Je t'aimais tant, tu étais si jolie.
Comment veux-tu que je t'oublie ?
En ce temps-la', la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brűlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n'ai que faire des regrets
Et la chanson que tu chantais,
Toujours, toujours je l'entendrai !

Limits

Every man takes the limits
of his own field of vision
for limits of the world.

The Perfection...?

You don't have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Passion of Poetry

Poetry is often given to the poet by the deliberate forces of live, forces of a rare and difficult talent, in a lifetime where wisdom is essential to this talent. Poetry is the gift of painting and singing the emotions, what these Taijiquan secret poems refer to as heart and mind. European poetry and culture do not have such a subject as Taiji, a military art that offers spiritual enlightenment and transcendence - the sublime. However, for all their differences, traditions in European poetry and Chinese poetry - secret of esoteric in whatever degree - both broadly celebrate the effort to live, to love.

When So Amazed



When so amazed - listen intently
Far night echoes,
That stillness wonders you,
Which everything embraces:
Collect itself in it silence,
Like you can’t possess yourself.
And get in one grasp -
In the ray which illuminates the tree,
In the stone’s accomplished shape,
In the unity…

Which everything embraces
By the Light……………….


That Great Emptiness


That great emptiness in my heart
For years,
Spacious as the most distant dream
In which You appear suddenly…
For to fulfill myself of Your beauty,
And praise the day and the light of raising,
For not to precipice in space
Of the missing events as countless things:
Suffering and joy in solitude of
Life…

That everything - to feel
The exhale of Eternity,
Inhale of Love…

To Be…

*

Again, and again
Reality tunes up:
Inflow and the outflow of the waters,
The fullness of the Moon and New Moon,
Rising Sun and Sunset,
Falling of leafs and shooting of buds,
Waters circulations around the Glob,
Life - Love - Death and
New Life.

Rhythm and rocking,
The Rise and Fall,
Inspiration and Exhalation
Countless forms of Existence.

Whosoever has the access in
The Fullness of the Beauty and Life?
At front of the Being
Which lasts as an invisible smile:
Mona Lisa or Buddha?

Whosoever participates in
Total suffering of Christ’s
Painful Mystery?

That everything - to feel
The exhale of Eternity,
Inhale of Love…

To Be…

*

How much do You need
From it
To praise each day by
Art and Work?

How much do You need
To jump into a day, anew
As into a water
With a hope You can once at last
Find the Secret Script
Which is not soaked through yet, in the bottle…
To read it!


That everything - to feel
The exhale of Eternity,
Inhale of Love…

To Be…

Cloud


Then is coming
Mist of the colors,
Cover the sounds.
Then branches
Are bending for thanks.
My heart shortly breathing
In the try to rise
Together with waves
Of mystery river
Over silent stones.
