On Work and Rest

ON WORK AND REST

When you work, WORK.

When you rest, REST.

Everything in the middle

is time wasted,

shameful for man.

Also:

the more you Work,

the more you can Rest.

The more you can Rest,

the more you can Work

Work and Rest are

the Yin-Yang

of Conscious Man.

On Yes & No

My burning Question was: how can the Yes prevail over the No?

I received this Answer:

You should know that the Yes comes first.

The No cannot exist by itself, the No is always a No standing right in front of its Yes.

Yet, the Yes which comes before the No, knows itself not.

Therefore The Eternal allowed No to rise.

Now they stand, eternally, one in front of the other,

like a Male and a Female.

If the Yes say yes,

No replies no.

Pain and grief follow.

And now the answer to your question, thou son of man:

If Yes says no to No, Yes loses and dies.

Then, grief-stricken, No dies as well, because the No need the Yes, to be.

But: if the Yes tells yes to No, standing its ground, if the Yes is ample enough to embrace the No,

Yes wins. No then dies, but is born again, within a new Yes, which is a Yes carrying a No, as a Man embracing his Wife.

Son of man, hearken to the Story of Yes and No, keep it in your heart, and live.

The Dancer and The Voice

We have talked enough, Woman, You and I, You and I

Why talking when You can dance ?

Why talking when I can sing?

Let My Voice be the magic thread over the abyss

Let Your Foot balance over that magic thread.

My Voice and Your Foot are One

A Prayer

There is an Appointed Time for Prayer.

This is a Prayer for the Night Of The World,

when dark spirits prowl on the souls of men:

Dryness

What is dryness? It was said that Earth is cold and dry, Fire dry and hot.

Embrace then Earth and Fire in a single grasp, and you will have dryness.

Dryness is the domain of Seth, it is the Desert.

Water has left the Earth, calcinated by the patient heat.

In the Desert, only the fiery Sun and the Dry Earth.

It is a trial, a silence, a pause.

At the end of forty days of Dryness

a new unspeakable Life
