sincronias?

entre o sol e a terra

partilhar aqui esta curiosa coincidência. dizer que nunca li literatura indígena americana, até agora, sendo o livro citado a seguir o primeiro. 

quando tatuei o cipreste publiquei  um post em que escrevi no final: 

'olho para estas formas e vejo mais coisas: o meu cipreste, a minha relação com as árvores, a relação com a terra e com o sol e, simbolicamente, a relação com a mãe e com o pai. esta polaridade que nos fez vida'

nestes últimos meses, de forma natural enquanto visitava os zambujeiros centenarios, refleti diversas vezes sobre a simbologia das árvores. o que elas representam para mim. cerca de 2 meses depois de ter escrito este post veio ter-me à mão um pequeno livro - a alma do índio- em que a dado momento o autor escreve:

' de acordo com a sua visão do mundo o sol e a terra (em jeito de parábola, cujo valor metafórico é ligeiramente maior do que o valor científico) são os pais de todas as formas orgânicas de vida. é do sol, pai universal, que advém o princípio germinante da vida; por um lado, é no ventre paciente e fértil da terra que se escondem os embriões das plantas e dos humanos. assim sendo, o nosso amor e reverência por estes dois é, na verdade, uma extensão criativa do amor pelos nossos pais.'

' the more therefore you relinquish power

trust others

the more powerful you become

but in such a way that instead of having to lie awake nights 

controlling everything

you do it beautifully by trusting

this seems a sort of paradox to say this 

but

the principle of unity of coming to a sense of oneness

with the whole of the rest of the universe is not to try to obtain power over the rest of the universe

that will only disturb it 

and antagonize it 

and make it seems less one with you than ever. 

the way to become one with the universe is to trust it'

" most civilized people 

are out of touch with reality 

because they confuse the world as it is with the world as they think about it 

and talk about it, and describe it

for on the one hand there is the real world and on the other a whole system of symbols about that world

these are very very useful symbols all civilization depends them

but like all good things they have their disadvantages and the principal disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality (...)

the difference between myself and all the rest of the universe is nothing more than an idea, it is not a real difference

and meditation is the way in wich we come to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe and what that requires is that we shut up, that is to say, that we became interiorly

silent (...)

because you see most of us think compulsively all the time (...)

obviosly if i talk all the time i don't hear what anyone else has to say 

and so in exactly the same way if i think all the time that is to say if i talk to my self all the time i don't have anything to think about except thoughts

and therefore i'm living entirely in the world of symbols and i'm never in relationship with reality

that's the first basic reason for meditation

one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking we find there is only a present only an eternal now

meditation when corrected done it's a kind of digging the present, is the kind of grooving with the eternal now and bring us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life the place where it's at is simply here and now"
