I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
                                                                                                                                                                   or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
                                                                                                                                                                    I love you as certain dark things are loved,

                                                                                                                                                                    secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

                                                                                                                                                            I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
                                                                                                                                                                  hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
                                                                                                                                                                    and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
                                                                                                                                                               lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

                                                                                                                                                        I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
                                                                                                                                                                  I love you simply, without problems or pride:
                                                                                                                                                    I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

                                                                                                                                                                         but this, in which there is no I or you,
                                                                                                                                                               so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
                                                                                                                                                              so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close....Namaste, Robert

    
     Part 1: This is Your Situation(ism).

     Little Johnny understands the pounding rhythms of Ameria
     Nourished with fattening dinners
     he is compelled to believe in God's fondness for his society
     His generation is full of kids who blame liberal administrators for
     crushing the dreams of today's families
     A sea of open mouths hungry for property
     wanting to grab,
     to feel,
     to rub up against,
     what should be recognized as the Cold Hell of Reason:
     This deadly slow malignant railroad of words -
     Canned literature smashing the human mind
     and even worse - shrinking the human spirit
     Disguised as logic
     Drops a bone for discussion
     then
     DEMANDS that the body abrogate
     SELF-SUPER-VISION
     This weird, ever changing world is the doorway to confusion
     It's main export:
     THE DESTRUCTION OF BOREDOM THROUGH REMOVAL OF MENTAL
     ACTIVITY

     Part 2:  HOW DID WE GET HERE?  ACCURATE HISTORY:

     Industrial Reformists of the middle ages designed funny hats
     with the capacity to forecast complex international trends
     Early Man sensed the coming of the automobile and assembled pushbikes:
     irrational, slow moving things that took conventional power and conveyed it into
     DIRECTIONLESS WORK
     As a consequence of this early planning
     committed at the expense of much happy play
     today we wear suits and hats
     submerging passion in favor of averageness, objectivity and "democracy"

     Think of technological societies from a tourist's perspective:
     where machines creating material goods define labor
     These societies subordinate harmony and completeness by organizing
     large numbers of people into service unites:
     Empty, obedient smiles outline a pale torturous experiment
     How to diplomatically inject some volume of respect and positivity
     into this picture of broken souls?

     Part 3:  A Ritual of Consumption for the MacDonald Survives:

     Here is the triumph of multifunction speedy humans
     Where packaging is 18 times greater that the actual portion
      Urban supermarkets respect the artistry of health food for dogs
     Pleasure seekers need new obsessions to confound the intellect:
     flowery statements to endow potato chips with the mtstery of creation
     They buy shortcuts to jump from the mundane to the great beyond
     Any gift that will silence the Majestic Voice
     make hazt the perpetual viral craving for authority:
     a double side dish of sex drive data,
     simulated double mocha electric luxury,
     or maybe just a double whiskey?

     Part 4:  The Pink Fruit Crystal, an account of living energy
     unwrapped from it's political business to become alien and astonishing:

     Searching through Egypt, through Alchemy
     Living a contemplative life
     cumbersome with festering despair
     and earthshaking fear
     until...
     The superficial appearance is surpassed
     and direct connection is made with...
     THE PINK FRUIT CRYSTAL
     THE SPONTANEOUS GORILLA-THING IS BORN -
     replaces the structure and gadgetry of distractive
     goal - directed performances
     with a seamless expression of realized being

     What is the value of mystical modes of consciousness?
     Those instants wash the brain of totalitarian patterns
     learned in fear
     The child playing with eternity leaves the complacent non-existence
     of complicated information cognitions
     He is given wings
     telescoped into RADIANT THUSNESS














 

      Amateur radio operators make use of the special properties of electromagnetic waves.  These vibrations are invisible to us and propagate through space, many traveling an immense distance through the cosmos.  The fascinating thing is that others can receive these signals if they tune their radio to the right frequency.  If they tune it wrongly, the vibrations will seem nonexistent, inaudible and undetected.  Such vibrations are reminiscent of the hidden wisdom to be found in theosophy, in that such ideas can only be understood if our intuition is properly tuned.  If this is not the case, the ideas remain beyond our grasp.  A different truth may then exist for us -- or are certain facts simply unknowable?
     In several places in The Secret Doctrine Helena Petrovna Blavatsky describes how electricity, magnetism, and gravity form an essential part of occult forces.   We discover there that a great deal is currently concealed from us.  Of course, new findings are constantly emerging in the sciences.  Not long ago researchers at IBM were able to observe the tiniest piece of matter -- an individual electron.  The used a new technique, ten million times more accurate than the magnetic resonance of a hospital scanner.  In this way another very small bit of the world has been unveiled, which previously we knew of only in theory.  Remarkably, various scientific observations imply that less than five percent of our universe consists of ordinary atomic matter, while the rest of it is unobservable.
     Esoterically, we find the sun fascinating as the giver of light and spiritual life.  But intellectually, too, we want to know how the sun works and why it exercises such a powerful influence on our daily lives and climate.  Research has revealed that starquakes make the whole solar sphere vibrate and cause plasma jets at its surface.  Though these jets shoot up over 5,000 kilometers, they are less than 500 kilometers in diameter and last for only five minutes.  There are about 100,000 of them active at any time.  Such jets are "connected with enormous sound waves at the sun's surface which have the same five-minute periodicity" (NRC Handelsblad , July 31, 2004).  When we consider that a radio uses frequencies of a tiny fraction of a millisecond , five minutes is truly gigantic!
     We owe a great deal to radio and other electromagnetic waves:  life saving communications systems, remote controls, and medical techniques that enable doctors to look into the body and make diagnoses.  While it is becoming more widely know that overexposure to different kinds of radiation is harmful, some researchers are exploring ways to use electromagnetic waves to kill viruses and stop infections.  They hold that because every living being, however small, has its own frequency, we can eliminate or damage bacteria active in our bodies by exposing them to their particular frequency.  Research into electromagnetic waves is also is also uncovering how living particles communicate with one another.  Clearly, our body has many hidden communication systems.
     In The Field, journalist Lynne McTaggart writes about scientists at respected universities who are researching the outer limits of what is considered scientifically acceptable in many fields.  More or less by accident they seem to have discovered an ocean of vibrations which seems to connect everything with everything else in the universe -- the Zero Point Field, a sort of invisible network.  The book puts forward a theory that encompasses the workings of DNA, inter-cellular communication, homeopathy, and paranormal phenomena.  It asserts that, in general, modern science assumes the following to be true:  -Mankind is a survival machine controlled mainly by genetic codes and chemicals.
     -The brain is a limited organ, the seat of consciousness, which is controlled mainly by chemical processes, intercellular communication, and DNA codes.
     -Time and space are finite universal properties.
     -Nothing moves faster than light.
     After a great deal of far-reaching research, other scientists have come to conclusions at variance with many orthodox scientific ideas:
     -Communication does not take place principally in the visible Newtonian world but in the subatomic world.
     -Cells and DNA communicate by means of vibratory frequencies.
     -The brain perceives the world and registers it by means of wave pulses.
     -Underlying the universe is a substructure which is essentially a recording medium for everything, allowing everything to communicate with everything else.
     -People are inseparably connected with their environment and contribute to the coherence (order) in the rest of the world.
     -Human consciousness has incredible powers; for example, it can cure itself and, to some extent, mold the world according to its wishes.
     Unfortunately, scientists and others who deviate from well-trodden paths are too often refused an unprejudiced hearing.
     In The Secret Doctrine we read that every thought is an elemental being.  A living thought is received somewhere and triggers a process according to its content.  Reasoning further, we could say that everything is interconnected but that the vibrations differ.  Everything is in everything and is part of ourselves and the surrounding cosmos.  Every human, every animal, every unicellular organism, every star, plant, and atom is part of a single whole.  If something vibrates on earth, it affects the moon, sun, and all the visible and invisible places in our entire universe.  It is fascinating that the sun, our cells, DNA, and human thoughts may be forms of vibration that communicate cyclically.  All these waves can contain one another's message independently.
     In daily life and thought, whether and when the right message is received for a specific situation is a question of attunement, rather like the radio that we tune to the information we want to hear.  It is becoming more obvious that if we put out a thought, there is always someone who "tunes" in on it, internally vibrating in synchrony with that frequency.  One thing is clear:  once transmitted, there is no calling a thought or feeling back.  The Secret Doctrine holds that many of us, in our current stage of development, can discover only a fraction of the occult forces and truths simply because we cannot at present conceive of the reality they represent.
     Looking further, we see that all existence is cyclical, as is evident in human and material life as well as in electromagnetic vibrations.  Unfolding consciousness achieves evolutionary development in a cyclic process of spiritual influx into matter and vice versa.  We can mold thoughts and, in time, become whoever we want:  as Plato said, "Ideas rule the world."     Electromagnetic waves arise, for example, from transmitters made up of electronics consisting of basic elements such as metals and chemical reactions.  Through the transmission of these waves, ideas can be disseminated by radio, television, and computers;  on a larger scale, waves from the sun enable us to live here on earth.
     The sum total of all "isolated" physical facts will never form the real world; the world as science understands it remains a world of illusion.  Ultimately we need to be a devoted mystic, insensitive to our own pain but full of love and compassion for suffering humanity, in order to receive the wisdom that nature reveals.  Despite the pain, such a mystic wants to incarnate again and again, willing to suffer incomprehension and the blows of terrestrial life in order to help humanity.  H.P. Blavatsky described the situation in her Voice of the Silence:  "Help nature and work on with her; and Nature will regard thee as one of her creators and make obeisance."
     And she will open wide before thee the portals of her secret chambers, lay bare before thy gaze the treasures hidden in the very depths of her pure virgin bosom.  Unsullied by the hand of matter she shows her treasures only to the eye of Spirit -- the eye which never closes, the eye for which there is no veil in all her kingdoms.
     Then will she show thee the means and way, the first gate and the second, the third, up to the very seventh.  And then, the goal -- beyond which lie, bathed in the sunlight of the Spirit, glories untold, unseen by any save the eye of the Soul.
     These mystical words underscore the fact that everything, both now and in the future, is in every conceivable place, and everything is in us.  What a profound thought:  that we ourselves are able to transmit these universal ideas, knowing that they, too, will never be lost.  We are all challenged to harbor positive thoughts as far as possible, and to spread them and inspire others to "tune" into the hidden wisdom vibrating all around us.
