February 20th,1992 - Tel Aviv
1) Music / Publishing
2) Family
3) Group
Shlomit and Avinoam and the three children. Avital and Iris and Bat Sheva, and the Disco party for Michael. Miki, Ditza and Amal 'left' in Jerusalem.
The early '90's in Israel with 'peace talks' going on, and new fighting in Southern Lebanon. A sad and dull period.
Out of Rosh Pina now for almost two months. Mostly in Tel Aviv.
SUCK !
And in Tel Aviv:
FEBRUARY 21, 1992
Nothing.
FEBRUARY 27, 1992.
Dina at her mother's getting over a cold. Na'ama, last night - nothing new, but a family closeness with basic human intelligence/understanding. Nitza, 'spacey'. Harry now gone back to America, two days after our meeting with his new wife.
The social reality of known friends and family so clearly a mixture of vague fears and hopes. The needs and expectations of the OTHER SIDE are at a great distance from this city of Tel Aviv. Attempts to glue relationships together in anticipation of the mabul (flood).
'What to do and where to go, in a rush or do it slow.'
Of course nothing new, but each time one 'dives in' one must 'dry up', and there is a tendency for a lot of mud and grime to stick. The fear thing is the worst of all, like an invisible coating, talk of it as you will.
Continued:
And the sea out there, rough and sometimes angry. The wind screaming its displeasure at the crimes of man against nature.
Then, all those 'good souls', somewhat isolated from the mechanical society and as a result straining for connections in their personal relationships. Much fear of disconnection.
Now we begin to talk with the INTELLIGENT ONE. The One with the clear and simple intelligence that overlaps the Two Worlds.
People in this World for such a Blessed Few Years. Trapped in the pictures of History, both personal and general - the 'world' as it has framed itself up on the screen of their individual psyches. Each one running their own very personal movie. Trying to connect or overlap their sense of reality with the pictures of either another person or another group of people. A vain hope at best, a compromise within a lie. Not sustainable.
The fear to remain within one's own intelligence, test and clean up one's own pictures. Always the need for confirmation. The difficulty of remembering the possibility and NECESSITY of checking with the SOURCE OF TRUTH within himself, the 'gathering point', the Magnetic Center of True Understanding. Lack of Knowledge, lack of confidence in the truth, or the Truth, lack of experience, lack of trust, lack of Love. Other than that everyone is doing just fine.
Again, this Life is a very short FEW DAYS. It is meant to be a growth transition to a higher and FINER World. The adjustment must take place HERE so that at Death (BIRTH) the psychological/electronic body, crystallized in its simplicity and disconnected from the false/temporoary, results in a SURVIVAL BEING in The World To Come.
Simplicity is the Answer. Knowledge is the Necessity. Conscious Effort and 'rightly taken Suffering' is the Payment. GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST is the Realization. UNITY is the FACT.
MORE
Now, about those that 'happen-around'. Those that are attracted by the 'god-knows-what' of the 'atmosphere', of the 'other', of the 'different'. What about them and how about them? They drift in dreams, based in the inevitable fear of the instability. The attraction is heartfelt but nonetheless BLIND. Direction they ask for, indications they need. Habit binds them. Will a new SUPERIMPOSED STRUCTURE serve the 'cause'? They now move from their BOREDOM and their FEAR. What possible results can come from such motivations? They now wish to be TOLD what to do.
A place to GATHER? They GET/LEARN/ABSORB more from what they see and generally experience than what they read and 'think' about. ENVIRONMENT is the issue. Something 'contrived'? Too much room for error. Other than contrived? Connected with another 'Line of Work' - STRUCTURE. Under current circumstances, THE FUTURE IS WORRY and THE PRESENT IS WASTE.
THE REASONS ARE CLEAR.
At a person's 'normal' level the Mind is a mere REACTION TO FEAR, even in its striving for pleasure. The mind, at that level, is an
'I want, I don't want' mechanism. There is no sustained 'overall picture', no relevance between one issue and another. At most, a SINGLE issue can be focused on at one time.
VERY LIMITED ACTIVITY/PERSPECTIVE, indeed. The MIND AS A REACTION TO PAIN AND FEAR. Nothing more can be expected without applied KNOWLEDGE.
It appears to them DANGEROUS not to act from fear, as so many frightening things might actually afflict them.
THEY MUST ALWAYS BE TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES, as if.
THEN, WHO IS IT THAT CAN WORK ?
FEBRUARY 28, 1992
Subjects to be developed, now or later:
1) The force that inspires people to be COMPLETELY OCCUPIED with KEEPING OTHERS 'HAPPY' !
a) That they may not 'give offence' and therefore not reap 'revenge', at one level or another, at one time or another.
b) 'Make a friend' that will give them what they want now, or will be available for what might be needed in the future. Guilt can usually be relied upon.
The point being is, that if one were to take the time and look in DEPTH at a wide variety of relationships, both those past and present, they would become aware of the incredible amount of ENERGY being expended, and the most PECULIAR FOCUS demanded, in their relationships with all people as to the 'NECESSITY' OF KEEPING THEM 'HAPPY'. And, the WHY behind it all!
There are, of course, those at the other extreme. That is, the 'challengers', who look to provoke. Now, why do you suppose they do that?
People, it seems, have their HOPES (and fears) IN OTHER PEOPLE. Not in anything HIGHER (ie: Truth, God, their own INTEGRITY).
FEBRUARY 29, 1992
So, we go on. A few noted subjects that are calling for elaboration. Not so sure that this is the time to get into them.
First of all there is a lot more to say on the subject of 'people keeping people happy'. Then, the subject of the psyche - psychological body/soul - of individuals in terms of SHAPE/SIZE/CONTENT. And then, a delving into the totally DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS of people identified predominantly within one or another center (man number 1, 2 or 3). The depth of the notion (reality) that there can be NO UNDERSTANDING at that level. And, in more detail, just how VAST the differences are in detail, dimensions and participation of one or another 'sense', or one or another 'center'. The inevitability of conflict (violence).
FEBRUARY 29, 1992 cont'd:
One or another kind of wrong functioning is inevitable in the absence of DIRECTED CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY (conscious effort).
CONSCIOUS EFFORT can only result from pondered, evaluated, applied KNOWLEDGE of the WORK. There can be NO OTHER WAY. All other so-called spiritual activity is at best preparatory.
The lower gives way to the Higher when Higher Knowledge is ACT-IVATED.
MARCH 2, 1992
It's not so much that people have the tendency to do what is either foolish or useless, but that they miss the chance to do what would have REAL VALUE to themselves, the world, even the Creator/Creation ITSELF.
Now, what might that be?
True connections! CONNECTIONS within the UNITY. Man, with the capacity to 'know himself', and his PLACE.
ENERGY is the main issue that a person can deal with. Energy refinement that ALLOWS the functioning of more 'sophisticated' elements within to come ALIVE.
The Small School is YOU. The Large School is the World. Everything in-between is School, at one level or another.
Your ideas about School are at best vague or a matter of hearsay. You must turn every life happening, take every life situation, as a LESSON, and thus deal with the WHOLE OF LIFE as the SCHOOL THAT IT IS.
NOTHING taken LIGHTLY. Stand accused of being 'heavy'. No matter. ENERGY WILL COME.
MARCH. 2 - cont'd.
From family disabilities to the agony of the Planet and everything in-betwen, all subject to the abuses of men. The infinite possibilities to justify negativity. Energy leaks from top to bottom. Useless circles.
With sufficient energy and strength there is connection, intelligence, function, Conscience. Without refined energy there is one or another degree of agonizing within Mechanical Imagination. All and any negativity must be separated from IMMEDIATELY. NO (BE)CAUSE can justify it. Negativity is IGNORANCE. No 'and', 'ifs', or 'buts'!
The money issue is based in FEAR. No question about that. Fear can always be 'justified', but none the less its VIBRATIONAL TONE and atmosphere remain a COSMIC LIMITATION, from whence NO GOOD CAN COME. It is a Negative starting point where 'intelligence' cannot but function at the level of IGNORANCE.
To DO RIGHT, as right as you can see it, and find yourself with NO MONEY, would be to find yourself, literally, IN THE HANDS OF GOD. Who would RISK THAT ? Can ANY OTHER WAY be called FAITH? And if not faith there, THEN WHERE ? Read the SERMON ON THE MOUNT - God's promises are TRUE.
MARCH 2 - Cont'd.
'I' STAND BEHIND THE HELPER AND THE HELPED.
UNITY at the SOURCE is a fact. But the HUMAN localization is also a fact.
Now let's take a look at these 'Human localizations'. Each 'center' and 'sense', within each individual, has different strengths, different 'colorations', producing persons with varying tendencies and appetites. What is in one is within all, but to varying degrees. What are the IMPLICATIONS ?
In the usual state of IDENTIFICATION the differences manifest in disagreement, conflict, violence, except when some kind of 'business' is being engaged in where an agreement is being sought and patience is being exercised. Self-interest makes for strange bed-fellows.
Each man in fact lives and functions in his 'own world' with EVERYONE ELSE appearing, without doubt, STRANGE, with the exception of recognized common WEAKNESSES. People PLAY on those weaknesses and call it RELATIONSHIP. That is the most usual state of affairs in the world. You bet.
The ALTERNATE POSSIBILITY is the development of the SEER.
MARCH 3, 1992
The SEER is ALWAYS focused on the LEARNING and NEVER on the advantage or safety.
He comes to SEE, among other things of lesser importance, that THAT which SEES in him, is HIM - and that ALL ELSE is but variations on the theme, in more or less harmony. As an orchestra leader, he is able to call-out the right notes, cords, tones , by his mere ATTENTION.
ALL AND EVERYTHING, in fact, tends, yearns, for HARMONY. ATTENTION being LIGHT, illuminates the WAY.
So, the 'market place' that we all live in. The unthought of, the non-neccesity to think, 'monetary considerations', that justify human relationships. ADVANTAGE is the key word. Coming out 'on top', getting 'the better' of a situation or person. Your 'friend' confirms your advantage, position. For the most part all this is taken for granted as the only game in town. 'Virtue' is a joke word, sentimental, weak. Advantage/Advantage/Advantage/Advantage!
This needs no explanation, no justification. Get more of anything, and you are 'successful'. People's minds are generally not in the least open to any other logic, to any other possibilities. CLOSED SYSTEMS for the most part. They may be touched for a few moments, shifted to a new perspective by some massive shock such as War or the death of a close one, or by being 'cornered in a lie'. But the term of the shock is short and the memory dull.
People are WELL CONDITIONED and kept in place by a mass of supporting 'logic' of all kinds.
Shall we take a look at the 'coupling phenomena'? The Boy/Girl thing? No accident that the Family is considered the 'corner stone of society'. Society, that is rushing head long into total disaster and is already SICK from top to bottom, PRIZES THE FAMILY. Now, YOU JUST LOOK AT THAT.
MARCH 3, 1992
The family:
They continue to circulate the most patently-absurd wishful thinking, fantasies - lies of the general commercial/consumer society.
Members of the family within society, SQUEEZE THE EMOTIONAL BLOOD OUT OF EACH OTHER. They give NO comfort, EVEN IN SICKNESS. They block anything new as a threat to the status-quo.
Hardly ANYONE sees all of this and a lot of other facts because of the general BLINDNESS. But, so it is.
The fear of BEING ALONE is overwhelming/intolerable. 'Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't know' is LIVED BY, even without hearing the expression. FEAR is the undercurrent of it all, and there is no energy left even to consider questioning it.
How come even THE SERIOUS GET CAUGHT IN THIS TRAP ?
That's the serious matter. The masses always have and always will drown in the shit. They will know nothing else.
How do the SERIOUS get caught? What about you? Do you want the ENERGY ? Do you understand the impossibility of getting anything really useful at the level of energy that you HABITUALLY FUNCTION WITH ? Are you ready to LEAVE THE NONSENSE, now, once and for all? Have you NO HOPE in anything higher, more REAL, more true, not compromised?
SHAME!
Compromised to shit. That's it in a nut shell.
Now, again, the question of JEWS as they appear to be in this present, living period of history. Not a very pleasant nor encouraging sight. PUTTING IT MILDLY.
Never mind the rest of humanity. What do we know about them anyway? Travel for twenty years out there in the world and realize that you still have barely touched the surface of Humanity at large. It's all just talk, those fancy 'evaluations'.
MARCH 3, 1992
So, the Jews, as they are seen in this local context.
Self pictures, measured against WHAT ?
HOLD onto the LAND.
HOLD onto LIFE.
HOLD onto FAMILY.
HOLD onto PROPERTY
GREAT !
BUT what FOR ?
The 'holding' brings no joy nor satisfaction to the holders nor anyone else. These are potential MEANS, at best. But without Knowledge, without Love, without CARE, without COMPASSION, all goes to waste. And the GARBAGE PILES UP.
Is this the start or the finish of the matter?
Is there more to say?
Is there what to do? WHAT TO DO ?
Corruption... Laziness... Blindness. These are the current realities. A most serious condition and most dangerous for a Soul in the Universe.
THEY KNOW NOT WHO OR WHAT TO SERVE, not inside and not outside. A gross amount of TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
MARCH 6, 1992
The few words on the state of family and the State of the Jews as seen in the last pages are truths easily forgotten and with IMPLICATIONS not easy to evaluate.
Not to get lost in the sentimentality of 'our people', at the expense of clarity within the WIDEST POSSIBLE CONSIDERATIONS, relative to a useful environment from a WORK POINT OF VIEW.
Can these people GROW ?
Is their 'hot and heavy' past a possible ASSET ?
How STRAIGHT can they be spoken to?
The atmosphere is DENSE. The confusion is WIDESPREAD.
The resistance is COMPULSIVE. The fear is DEEP.
MARCH 9, 1992.
FEARFUL (selfish/negative) THOUGHTS can never ever connect with 'higher parts of centers'. The small circles that they revolve in can only become ever more restricted. SERVICE, compassionate and sincere, however limited in scope or perception, alone has the possibility of opening up connections with higher parts of centers, and eventually HIGHER CENTERS themselves. A cumulative process.
The restrictions of 'superimposed thought patterns'... Like neighbouring Countries, neighboring PERSONALITIES asking/demanding that the 'others' SEE THE WORLD FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE... Other than being impossible it is VIOLENCE with unfortunate/unsatisfactory results.
Only REAL WORK, based on TRUE IDEAS, can overcome this disastrous syndrome. The FOCUS of Work must not slip.
Who does one belong to? THE BIG QUESTION.
Who wants you to go?
Why should one fear you?
Who makes your heart ache in their absence and your thoughts limited in their presence?
MARCH 11, 1992
THERE ARE SO MANY GLORIOUS THINGS TO DO
THAT SOCIETY DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE
Our response-ability is not limited to our mother and father.
Not limited to our family.
Not limited to our friends.
Not limited to our community.
Not limited to our country, nor to our specie, nor to this world.
OUR RESPONSE-ABILITY IS TRULY UNIVERSAL.
This is the TRUTH, recognized or not, acknowledged or otherwise. The UNITY is the FACT, like it or not.
RESPONSIBILITY is not limited to the PHYSICAL LEVEL as is assumed by 'sense-based-man'. Emotional, Psychic, Spiritual and Divine attributes are DEFINITELY WITHIN THE REALM OF PEOPLES' RESPONSE-ABILITY.
MARCH 13, 1992 - Tel Aviv
THE CITY - as an instrument of TAKE. The WORLD as a field of TAKE. MAN as the HUNTER, WOMAN as the SURVIVOR. APPETITE and FEAR as the MOTIVATION. The, in fact, INSATIABILITY of these strivings. The repetitive FAILURES in darkness and the resulting almost total BLINDNESS. 'From dust to dust', with nothing to show for it all. So passes the life of 'men'.
Another day and another day. Life being 'spent' and not a thought of any lasting 'return'. The 'factory' consuming all kinds of 'raw materials' and producing no useable 'output'. No sense of WASTE. And so it is for the overwhelming majority of humanity, busy evacuating their 'waste products'. Most of the so called 'serious' and 'good-willed' are for the most part in the same boat. In fact MINDLESS. Confusion reigns.
People, we have seen, in various 'unusual circumstances' are ready and able to do with very little food, but unable it seems to do without some source of immediate SENSE GRATIFICATION. Alcohol, drugs of all kinds, sex, violence, sport etc.
A wide variety of impressions and physical activity are necessary for the development of a healthy human organism. They were meant to come from necessary life sustaining activities - plowing, planting, reaping, food preparation, construction of shelters, making of clothes, and traversing the land in pursuit of these and other natural necessities. Now the 'powerful' produce these items with the help of MECHANICAL DEVICES and the need and use of increasingly fewer slaves. Man in general gets confined in cement and glass boxes with electronic media being pumped into his system, while craving exotic foods, alcohol, drugs and sex. Forgive the repetition. And, the POISONS BUILD UP.
People have the ability to see more clearly just what could be healthy, sane and productive for OTHERS, than they are able to see in relationship to themself. So, we NOW MUST WORK ON BEHALF OF OTHERS ! We CANNOT 'DO' FOR OURSELF IN ISOLATION. That's always been the case. Who can wake up to this simple FACT? Our HABITS are for TAKE. We need to LEARN new patterns/habits for the GIVE - thus using the HIGHEST INTELLIGENCE of our God-given potential.
MARCH 13, 1992
It is no longer enough for us to think merely in terms of saving 'our people'. We must, as if, save the World. In any case, all those 'our' things are confusion within illusion. We are in fact ONE with and within GOD/ALLAH/THE UNITY. There is only One Happening - ONE BEING. It's all interconnected. This is pretty well acknowledged by the more aware/intelligent in the world today, even within the scientific community. The ANSWER is clear. However, the ABILITY of people to respond is at best seriously in doubt, and at worst considered an IMPOSSIBILITY.
The currently praised economic system, Free Market Capitalism, is completely determined/dependent on the motivations of fear and greed. Isolated and unbalanced. For this 'system' to stop, would in the immediate instance, cause immense human suffering over and above that which is current. The Planet might begin to heal but man would be even more lost than he is today. Barbarism is the prospect.
It appears that 'America' has convinced the secular leaders of the world that the New World Order, hi-tec, Space Exploration etc. are the HOPE OF THE FUTURE and that no one has any practical choice but to 'go along'.
NO CHOICE but more MECHANICAL DEVELOPMENT. They have 'convinced' the World.
The Religious fanatics of all kinds say no no no, but offer little that is really PRACTICAL.
'Trust in God but tie up your camel', is a most true saying.
We now take the risk of delving into the local political mind.
What could the Palestinians really be hoping for as a 'best case scenario'?
1) The Jews all 'out' and a Country of their own from the Mediterranean Sea to the Kingdom of Jordan. And then what? Do they see themselves sitting around computers and television sets? Do they envision their own 'space program'; want to visit the Moon and Mars? What program could they possibly promote? The Fundamentalists will no doubt carry the day.
2) A 'Democratic State', including what is now Israel, the West Bank and Jordan, where all would have the vote. Who owns the Public Land? What Laws? Immigration? Army? An American State?! That's the 'Word', you know.
Let's turn to the Jews for a bit.
If there was Peace with the neighbouring states of Israel, or a confederation/union with them, what would happen to the Flag/Army/Ha'tikva/ideology/the horrah etc.?
Young Israeli boy with 'brains' and computer skills wishes, he believes realistically, to be space traveller/superman, off to Mars or elsewhere. We've witnessed this. Others wish to be a rockstar, race car driver, millionaire or sportsman. Some still wish to be Doctors. Just about there the Dreams and the Hopes end for any kid that's really got some LIFE in him. Well, the STATE is a good platform for such wishes. They seem almost reasonable and attainable. AS THE GARBAGE BUILDS UP.
Then there are also the Jewish Fundamentalists. They don't talk to no one. They are not so sure to 'carry the day'. They have impressive secular opposition with impressive options to offer. They also like the computer. The Moslem Fundamentalists have a clear path by comparison.
The Religious Fundamentalists dream of God, and the Seculars dream 'Buck Rogers'. Both superstitious as hell.
The Israeli secular dream is very American. It will stand as long as America stands.
Oh, I almost forgot, THEY ALL WANT TO GET LAID.
MARCH 15, 1992
She thinks
that what she thinks she understands
she knows.
To KNOW
is to be and to act
from the very roots
of the knowing
without abstraction
nor effort.
To KNOW
and to not act from that knowing
that would be effort!
MARCH 16, 1992
If you want/expect anything from someone, now or in the future, you are FORCED (and limited) to think, conceive, cerebrate, within the extent, limits, perspectives, form, size, and content, as if, of their MIND.
In the above case, you must 'leave your mind' and enter theirs with your 'want'. You also, inevitably, have the tendency, consciously or otherwise, to limit their mind to the general area of your 'want' when they come to consider you.
The fear of the future is in large part a result of not being here!
All the 'fear things' INTERFERE with the GUIDANCE.
MARCH 22, 1992
The friends tend to live on the fringes of Society. And the fringes of Society are precisely the areas that are eroding the fastest. The friends are in great danger. All the resources, money, property, production and every last piece of land is being tied to and pulled towards the 'center'. The 'body-politic' is being squeezed and contracted. Friends on the fringes are being pushed-out into the 'nothingness'. Food is NECESSARY - three kinds! A 'reasonably normal' environment is NECESSARY.
Of 'The Most Beautiful Names', WISDOM is sent to our assistance.
Among the friends, the 'brighter' are still accepted as computer operators and the 'stronger' as house cleaners and security guards. But with the rapid development of electronics, the more 'reliable' will become available and the need will shrink.
The HAVES will increasingly get along without the HAVE-NOTS. The have-nots will be starved of all three foods. Best beware, best PREPARE. Survival of the Soul is the issue, but there is WORK to be done here on EARTH.
So, how can the friends be brought to their senses. They, in most cases, still seem determined to 'play out their imaginations'. Most often they do not see the uselessness of something before it crumbles before their eyes. Their hopes as well as their fears are still tied to this man made distorted society. Now, good is no longer good enough. They must CHANGE HORSES.
How many musicians will society feed? There is already an overabundance. Even Doctors have already flooded the market. We cannot keep up with the machines. The masters manipulate and hoard, and the slaves push the buttons. The friends must keep, as if, apologizing. The images that Hollywood has created IS THE WORLD THAT WE ALL LIVE IN. The celluloid-film is in flames, but images remain in the psyche. All has been pasted together from the subliminal education of the SCREEN. That's it!
A new world? Now, what might that be?
MARCH 23, 1992
Where do you 'fit'?
In more exact language, what is your PLACE?
THAT'S the Question that people continually ask themselves at a conscious, or more likely sub-conscious, level.
What does it mean?
This job or that job, this wife or that wife, this city or that city, this friend or that friend, this thought or that feeling ?
Connections! What am I connected with, what's my roll, what should I expect? Where do I 'fit' - what is my PLACE ?
That is the question of questions, the basic one that is 'buzzing' at the bottom ALL THE TIME. All other questions are trying to answer THAT ONE.
We try to establish connections with a variety of things and people but they are always changing, moving. Nothing stands still. Things and situations have a natural tendency to de-compose. Connections do not last, or at least change out of the range of re-cognition. Oh well !
That's the big thing about 'God'. That's at the bottom of peoples' interest in God, believers and so-called non-believers. That's why
it is such a HOT ISSUE.
The word 'God' stands for the ONE THING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT IS UNCHANGING and beyond the 'mind' that can ONLY see changes.
Something UNCHANGING is the only thing you can have a SURE relationship with. That connection is DEEP within you, behind the 'creative' mind. THAT which exists and existed, BEFORE THE CREATION !
Get it ?
A little bit ?
Well, that's a start.
'It's a long long way to Tipperary - it's a long way to go'.
MARCH 23, 1992 - Tel Aviv.
SAW AN ANGEL IN THE PRISON YARD
AND DIDN'T SAY A WORD
SAW AN ANGEL IN THE PRISON YARD
AS PRETTY AS A BIRD
SAW AN ANGEL IN THE PRISON YARD
SAT ON THE VERY SAME BUS
SAW AN ANGEL IN THE PRISON YARD
NOT A WORD BUT FULL OF TRUST
People count their friends
Like they count their money
Preparation for a rainy day
From just whose eyes do we see all that surrounds us in this present time is not so clear. In a city that in fact has little or no meaning to us personally. A strange kind of 'refugee city'. As if no one who really had any viable choice would want to live here. A city as most cities; a money making machine, with a few 'cultural' diversions supplying some kind of identity, as if.
The rush, problem, don't bother me, no time, how much, life of the city dweller. How pretty are some of the clothes, how sad are most of the faces A forced-smile is the biggest gift that anyone can offer. Few can manage even that. A slippery mountain with a lot of loose rocks, large and small.
Choice? Have they any choice?
Informed by telephone, from Jerusalem, by Avital, that satellite readings from outer space shows more LIGHT emanating from the regions of Jerusalem than any other surface area of the planet. Jerusalem, a 'power spot', a Holy City. THE Holy City. That's been known for quite a while.
L. G. - MARCH 9, 1992 - Tel Aviv
Quote:
'If all of Ibn al-Arabi's works are essentially Koranic hermeneutics, this is because ultimate truth can only be perceived with the help of divine guidance, and divine guidance has taken certain specific forms. “Enter houses by their doors,” the Koran commands (2:189). One cannot take God's house by storm. One enters by the door, when invited. Any attempt to climb through the windows would display blatant discourtesy (su al-adab), an attribute which automatically disqualifies the would-be hermeneutic.'
