TANTRA

Tantra has developed a system of thought which makes us see the universe as if it were within ourselves, and ourselves as if we were within the universe. Further the forces governing the cosmos on the macro-level are believed to govern the individual in the micro-level. According to tantra, the individual being and universal being are one. Thus all that exists in the universe must also exist in the individual body.

One of our major limitations in discovering this essential unity between the microcosm and the macrocosm is that we are accustomed to analyze the world into its separate parts, with the result that we lose sight of those parts' inter-relationship and their underlying unity. The way to fulfillment is through recognition of our wholeness linking man and the universe. This hence is the broad aim of Tantra art, achieved through visual symbols and metaphors.

Encompassing its whole pictorial range, Tantric imagery can be broadly grouped under three heads:

• Geometrical representation of deities as Yantras
• Representation of the Human Body as a Symbol of the Universe
• Iconographic images

It's, only, 'Make Believe'.....

1. Beauty refers to the purity of heart and transparency of mind. Purity of heart means experiencing moments of transparency as if the self has disappeared. Selfless prayers, infused with the light of God, are beautiful.

2. Goodness means that prayer should be oriented towards good intentions, so we are not ashamed if it is revealed to other people or inhabitants of heaven.

3. Love is the key for genuine prayer, so a prayer must always be accompanied by love. A prayer without love is just a set of dead words. True prayer is for the sake of love and prayer is synonymous with love. Love is prayer and prayer is love, because God Himself is love.

Moby Dick,or,The Whale,Selected Chapters.30 'The Pipe'.

When Stubb had departed, Ahab stood for a while leaning over the bulwarks; and then, as had been usual with him of late, calling a sailor of the watch, he sent him below for his ivory stool, and also his pipe. Lighting the pipe at the binnacle lamp and planting the stool on the weather side of the deck, he sat and smoked.

In old Norse times, the thrones of the sea-loving Danish kings were fabricated, saith tradition, of the tusks of the narwhale. How could one look at Ahab then, seated on that tripod of bones, without bethinking him of the royalty it symbolized? For a Khan of the plank, and a king of the sea and a great lord of Leviathans was Ahab.

Some moments passed, during which the thick vapor came from his mouth in quick and constant puffs, which blew back again into his face. "How now," he soliloquized at last, withdrawing the tube, "this smoking no longer soothes. Oh, my pipe! hard must it go with me if thy charm be gone! Here have I been unconsciously toiling, not pleasuring- aye, and ignorantly smoking to windward all the while; to windward, and with such nervous whiffs, as if, like the dying whale, my final jets were the strongest and fullest of trouble. What business have I with this pipe? This thing that is meant for sereneness, to send up mild white vapors among mild white hairs, not among torn iron-grey locks like mine. I'll smoke no more-"

He tossed the still lighted pipe into the sea. The fire hissed in the waves; the same instant the ship shot by the bubble the sinking pipe made. With slouched hat, Ahab lurchingly paced the planks

Getting Older,none, the Wiser..

A young novice, the future emperor Tai Chung, asked the old master Huang Po:

"If we need to seek nothing, not even Buddha, Dharma and Sangha , why do you still prostrate yourself in front of the altar?"

"Though I don't seek the Buddha, Dharma or Sangha, it is my custom." answered the old master.

The future emperor insisted: "What purpose does it serve?"

The old master answered by a slap in the face of the young novice, who exclaimed: "How uncouth you are!"

And the old master answered: "Where do you find any distinction between uncouth and refined?"

Christie - San Bernadino (1971) HD 0815007

We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR EVERYTHING - (Lyrics)
