Am I thinking about doing the work or am I doing the work?

Morning Supper

The Holy Supper - Leonardo Da Vinci

Today's morning meeting, and all Academy meetings,

 reminded me of morning mass, a banquet, 

where the hungry is fed from the food of The Highest.

"I am the bread of life. 

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, 

and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty". 

John 6:35

Ut (Do) Re Mi Fa Sol La SI(Ti)

 

Guido d'Arezzo, Italian Benedictine, Music Theorist (990-1050) - Artist Unknown

Guido of Arezzo drew his inspiration 

and the syllables for the solfège system from a prayer in 

the Hymn to St. John the Baptist:

Latin: Ut queant laxis Resonāre fibrīs, Mīra gestōrum famulī tuōrum, Solve pollūtī labiī reātum, Sāncte Iōannēs.

English: So that your servants may, with loosened voices, resound the wonders of your deeds, cleanse the guilt from our stained lips, O Saint John.

Español: Para que tus siervos puedan exaltar a pleno pulmón las maravillas de tus obras, limpia la culpa de nuestros labios manchados, oh, San Juan.

"Long enough have you dreamed 

contemplative dreams, my friend. 

Now I wash the gum from your eyes. 

You must habituate yourself to the dazzle of the light 

and [to the dazzle] of every moment of your life. 

Hence, Remember Yourself. 

Remember Your Soul." 

Walt Whitman in the voice of Mervyn Brady

Who Deserves the Name of 'Man'

 

'Gemini' AI Generated Image 

“Only he will deserve the name of “man”

and can count upon anything prepared for them from above,

who has already acquired corresponding data

for being able to preserve intact both the wolf

and the sheep entrusted to his care.”

I Verify...

 

I verify that my machine 

sometimes raises an inner barrier 

where finer hydrogens won't come in. 

In the distance of my inner world, 

I hear the song of conscious beings calling me 

to read their works. 

When I answer, I am pierced, 

and I know I am connecting to the divine.

Self-remembering...

 

Giulio Romano

Self-remembering is like a world without end! 

Mervyn emphasis to stay in a state 

connected to higher worlds,

 we need to love. 

Without love the work is not moving. 

I cannot stay and identify with the ordinary time. 

There is a need in my work 

to remember the universal brotherhood. 

They are here to help. 

Mervyn was always reminding us 

how much the gods are here, now.

As Above, So Below - A Timeless Truth

Fragment of The School of Athens by Raphael

"That which is below is like that which is above,

and that which is above is like that which is below,

to perform the miracles of one only thing."

Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

translated by Isaac Newton

“Man is an image of the world. 

He was created 

by the same laws which created 

the whole of the world. 

By knowing and understanding 

himself he will know and understand 

the whole world, all the laws that create 

and govern the world.” Gurdjieff

"I remember the day when I saw that

God made me in his own likeness and

what was in me was in God and vice versa.

So If I started to study me... I was studying God."

One Must Feed...

 

 Luis Menedez

“One must feed the soul 

as one feeds the body,

 for the Soul too can starve. 

It needs a more refined food 

and as the buffers come down 

what once may have fed one, 

does not work any longer 

and new ways must be discovered.”

Each One Of Us...

 

Each one of us is so unique 

and has much to contribute to the triad of RE Gene er ration. 

Each drop of nectar that hits the soul 

and dissolves into Spirit, 

is returning to God. 

We in turn become the eyes, 

the ears, the touch, in this world. 

And yes, 

that is an endless and blissful joy indeed!

In Every Case...

Jules David, ‘Don Quixote and Sancho Panza’, 1887. Wikimedia Commons

"In every case, the remedy is to take action.

Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn

and exactly what you need to do to learn it.

BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR.

Make it thy business to know thyself,

which is the most difficult lesson in the world."

Miguel De Cervantes
