Ah deconstruction,
how nicely you
tear apart all that makes sense,
and turn it into a question.
ah deconstruction
how you’ve turned love
into a need and something that only
lucky ones get;
you’ve taken the mystery and replaced it
with bitterness and biology.
I use to believe that we were made to find
someone
that we are incomplete until we connect
with a special someone;
as though we could not be a full person
without love,
now bitterness and knowledge have taught me
well
love comes and goes
in very much the same way as life.
is this a hindrance this deconstruction, this bitterness
towards what was once sacred,
no,
its an awakening: so that I don’t think I deserve, by simply
being alive, a someone who loves me;
its rather pure luck and chance, and a gift that love might
knock on your door.
requires will, and dedication; most believe it will stay simply
because it should)
love is something that has to be tamed and rekindled over and over
or else it leaves, like some floating spirit that drifts from spot to spot
if you find; enjoy it, and live it, and cherish it; but don’t temporalize
it
just love

30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops & does nought.
31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness.

Infinity
from "Tales of Power"
Carlos Castaneda
Saturday, October 07, 2006
always born again
distilled inside
rainbow of potentials
the reason to wake up
the push to create
because impossible does not exist
look for the solution, not the problem
react fully
allow mistakes
envision perfection
distribute action
forgive yourself
push the neglect away
open your arms to life
breathe in the universe
look up to the sky, day and night
respect the earth under your feet
work peacefully
rejoice naturally
give thanks for the simple things
appreciate differences
spread love
accept love
walk up the mountains
swim in the sea and lakes and dreams
speak your mind
listen silently
and create
create
create
life is natural
k.s.
michelangelo biography quotes
"Stone works with you. It reveals itself. But you must strike it right. Stone does not resent the chisel. It is not being violated. Its nature is to change. Each stone has its own character. It must be understood. Handle it carefully, or it will shatter. Never let stone destroy itself.
"Stone gives itself to skill and love.
His first lesson had been that the power and the durability lay in the stone, not in the arms or tools. The stone was the master; not the mason. If ever a mason came to think he was master, the stone would oppose and thwart him. And if the mason beat his tone as an ignorant contadino migh beat his beasts, the rich and warm glowing breathing material became dull, colorless, ugly; died under his hand. To kicks and curses, to hurry and dislike, it closed a hard stone veil around its soft inner nature. It could be smashed by violence but never forced to fulfill. To sympathy it yielded: grew ever more luminous and sparkling, achieved fluid forms and symmetry." (page 48)
"time was a yeast, many aspects ... that had eluded him before now seemed clear to him, their form matured, their definition resolved. A work of art meant growth from the particualr to the universal. To a work of art, time brought timelessness." (page 650)

Liber III vel Jugorum
Liber III vel Jugorum

0.
0. Behold the Yoke upon the neck of the Oxen! Is it not thereby that the Field shall be ploughed? The Yoke is heavy, but joineth together them that are separate --- Glory to Nuit and to Hadit, and to Him that hath given us the Symbol of the Rosy Cross!
Glory unto the Lord of the Word Abrahadabra, and Glory unto Him that hath given us the Symbol of the Ankh, and of the Cross within the Circle!
1. Three are the Beasts wherewith thou must plough the Field; the Unicorn, the Horse, and the Ox. And these shalt thou yoke in a triple yoke that is governed by One Whip.
2. Now these Beasts run wildly upon the earths and are not easily obedient to the Man.
3. Nothing shall be said here of Cerberus, the great Beast of Hell that is every one of these and all of these, even as Athanasius hath foreshadowed. For this matter 1 is not of Tiphereth without, but Tiphereth within.
I.
0. The Unicorn is speech. Man, rule thy Speech! How else shalt thou master the Son, and answer the Magician at the right hand gateway of the Crown?
1. Here are practices. Each may last for a week or more.
2. (a) Avoid using some common word, such as "and" or "the" or "but"; use a paraphrase.
(b) Avoid using some letter of the alphabet, such as "t", or "s". or "m"; use a paraphrase.
(c) Avoid using the pronouns and adjectives of the first person; use a paraphrase.
Of thine own ingenium devise others.
2. On each occasion that thou art betrayed into saying that thou art sworn to avoid, cut thyself sharply upon the writs or forearm with a razor; even as thou shouldst beat a disobedient dog. Feareth not the Unicorn the claws and teeth of the Lion?
3. Thine arm then serveth thee both for a warning and for a record. Thou shalt write down thy daily progress in these practices, until thou art perfectly vigilant at all times over the least word that slippeth from thy tongue.
Thus bind thyself, and thou shalt be for ever free.
II.
0. The Horse is Action. Man, rule thine Action. How else shalt thou master the Father, and answer the Fool at the Left Hand Gateway of the Crown?
1. Here are practices. Each may last for a week, or more.
(a) Avoiding lifting the left arm above the waist.
(b) Avoid crossing the legs.
Of thine own ingenium devise others.
2. On each occasion that thou art betrayed into doing that thou art sworn to avoid, cut thyself sharply upon the wrist or forearm with a razor; even as thou shouldst beat a disobedient dog. Feareth not the Horse the teeth of the Camel?
3. Thine arm then serveth thee both for a warning and for a record. Thou shalt write down thy daily progress in these practices, until thou art perfectly vigilant at all times over the least action that slippeth from the least of thy fingers.
Thus bind thyself, and thou shalt be for ever free.
III.
0. The Ox is Thought. Man, rule thy Thought! How else shalt thou master the Holy Spirit, and answer the High Priestess in the Middle Gateway of the Crown?
1. Here are practices. Each may last for a week or more. (a) Avoid thinking of a definite subject and all things connected with it, and let that subject be one which commonly occupies much of thy thought, being frequently stimulated by sense-perceptions or the conversation of others.
(b) By some device, such as the changing of thy ring from one finger to another, create in thyself two personalities, the thoughts of one being within entirely different limits from that of the other, the common ground being the necessities of life.2
Of thine own Ingenium devise others.
2. On each occasion that thou art betrayed into thinking that thou art sworn to avoid, cut thyself sharply upon the wrist or forearm with a razor; even as thou shouldst beat a disobedient dog. Feareth not the Ox the Goad of the Ploughman?
3. Thine arm then serveth thee both for a warning and for a record. Thou shalt write down thy daily progress in these practices, until thou art perfectly vigilant at all times over the least thought that ariseth in thy brain.
Thus bind thyself, and thou shalt be for ever free.
- (i.e. the matter of Cereberus).
- For instance, let A be a man of strong passions, skilled in the Holy Qabalah, a vegetarian, and a keen "reactionary" politician. Let B be a bloodless and ascetic thinker, occupied with business and family cares, an eater of meat, and a keen progressive politician. Let no thought proper to "A" arise when the ring is on the "B" finger, and vice versa.
