X. Prayers and Songs
'My eyes rise to the eternal vault of heaven, to you, O shining star of
the night! and all desires, oblivion of all hopes streams down from your
eternity, I am in it, I am everything, I am only it' (Hegel, Eleusis).
Flashes of the spirit illuminate the night of the earth, the femininity
bound up with the high crown brightly radiates peace.
Look to the star
"When you are driven on the waves of pride, on the waves of ambition,
of defamations, of jealousy, turn your eyes to that star, invoke Mary!
When anger, greed or the temptations of the flesh want to throw your
ship of life off course, look to Mary! When you, dismayed by the
monstrosity of offences, confused by a bad conscience, seized by the
dread of court, are gradually being swallowed up by the abyss of
desolation, by the depths of despair, think of Mary! In dangers, in
fears, in precarious situations, think of Mary, call on Mary! She may
not part from your lips. She may not withdraw from your heart. And so
that you may obtain the help of her intercession, never lose sight of
the example of her way of life from your eyes. When you follow her, you
will not loose the right path, when you beg her you will not despair,
when you think of her you will not go astray. When she holds you, you
will not fall; when she protects you, you will not be afraid; when she
guides you, you will not languish; when she is gracious to you, you will
reach your goal. Thus you will experience for yourself: 'And the
virgin's name was Mary' (Luke 1:27)." (Bernard of Clairvaux, De laudibus
Virginis Matris / see the Cistercian altar in Brother Klausen's
meditation picture).
Wisdom of
spiritual Women is greater than piety, intellect or spirituality of men
altogether
'The desire of a man is evil from his youth' (Genesis 8:21). And 'the
more men become more spiritual, the greater even their evil
compulsiveness becomes' (Talmud Suka 52a): "Sacrificial wine (conjugal
love) robs women of their minds. The spirit of lasciviousness leads them
astray. Cursing and deceit, murder, theft and adultery are spreading,
and deed of blood follows deed of blood." (Hosea 4:11-12). That is why a
woman becomes a lioness 'she lies in wait by the road like a panther,
she attacks the man like a mother bear whose cubs have been robbed, she
tears his breast and his heart' (Hosea 13:7). – It is perfect
spirituality of women that is fulfilling: "I give you a new heart and
lay a new spirit within you. I take the heart of stone from your breast
and give you a heart of flesh. I breathe my spirit into you and then you
become alive. Behold: I place you into your land of the soul, then you
will recognise that I am the Lord. I have spoken, and I will do it –
says the Lord." (Ezekiel 37:14). In the way men, according to their
individual soul character, are active in the community of enlightened
souls, women can manifest »planetary personality«, fulfilling their
sacred and true mission: giving healing and peace to the earth.
Ein Poet und Komponist mag sich vielleicht fragen: "Habe ich diesen Vers
geschrieben? Woher mag er nur gekommen sein? Dieses Lied ist so
wunderbar! Wie kam nur diese Ein-Gebung zu mir?" -- Die Liebe des
Ewig-Weiblichen ist die Kraft, die geschaffen hat; Sie ist die einzige
Kraft, die erschaffen kann. In Ihr wird die Liebende und ihre
Manifestation, das Objekt der Liebe, Eins im selben Augenblick. Die
indische Mystik benennt dies mit 'Purusha und Prakriti'. Das Christentum
bezeugt: Christi Zeugung von Gott 'aus Maria mit Hilfe des Heiligen
Geistes'. Das Eine ist Liebe; das andere Schönheit: Maria, die Seele des
Mannes. 'Gott ist Liebe' (1 Johannes 4:8). Spirituelle Feminität muss
die Schönheit der kulturellen männlichen Seelen schaffen, um lieben zu
können; deshalb wird Sie Schöpferin, 'Herrin' (Genesis 17:15-16)
genannt. Die Liebenden, die der leidenden Menschheit sich erbarmenden
spirituellen Frauen, Sie haben die Macht, Frieden zu schaffen. Das, was
Sie erschaffen, nämlich die seelenvollen Kulturellen, dient dem Zweck,
Ihre Liebe zu empfangen. Unsere Belohnung kommt von Gott, die Liebe.
Tonight the
multitudes of stars give birth to eternal life. Peace, eternal life is
born as the becoming.
Healing of the earth
To find the SENSE is to find an element that only the divine love of
the woman can give to men. The organism 'woman' has received serious
injuries; therefore: when women are loving now, for men this does not
mean: "just get on with it!" 'Heaven has its dangerous height, which
protects it against any attempt to interfere. Loving is sin, repetition
of the abysmal. Disaster. (I GING 29.1). Behaving regressively, or
calling oneself "protestant"... this puts the world in even deeper
danger. Nor is it about confirming new structures instead of the old
ones, but about deconstruction! (Bhagavad-gita 18.22). It is necessary
that men make their self-cultivation, their soul-character in 'unpaid
time', of service in the community. "For just as a field, even if it
is fertile, cannot yield fruit without care, just the same as the female
spirit without spiritual instruction" (Cicero). Then women, by
virtue of their divine sexuality, are able to achieve what for men is
denied.
Acts 28:2-6 'Paul's shipwreck and the serpent's bite'
"The ship ran aground on a sandbank, the bow sank in and
became immovable; the stern began to break in the surf. But it happened
that everyone was rescued, partly on planks, partly on other shipwrecks.
The locals lit a fire and brought us all in because it had started to
rain and was cold. As Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and put it on
the fire, due to the heat, a viper came out and bit his hand. When they
saw the animal hanging from his hand, they said to each other: "This man
is certainly a murderer; the goddess of vengeance will not let him live,
even though he has escaped the sea. But he hurled the animal into the
fire and suffered no harm. They expected him to suddenly drop dead. When
they waited a while and saw that nothing bad happened to him, they
changed their minds and said that he was a god." Comment: For that which
harms the one can benefit the others. This is how some men burn in the
purgatory of feminist power, without burning. On the other hand, the
metamorphosis of the female – from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly
(Goethe, Mignon) – seems to be threatening for the Adam-weak men and the
neurotic-diseased landlords; it reflects their attitude, of
Iblīs
(Koran, Sura 2:24) paternalistic view of bringing the old world to ruin
by plunging it into hell.
Vom Heilen
Männer, die genaue, umfassende Kenntnis vom Leiden der Menschheit
haben, und der »Grünen Tara« {Frauen beim gruppenanalytischen Heilen}
helfend zur Seite stehen, diese haben den »Gralskelch«, den Kelch des
Neuen Bundes gefunden. Sie sind Besitzer des 'wahren Weins', sie
werden »Heiler« genannt. Sie heilen durch Psychodrama (Lukas
19,45-48), mit vergebendem Blick und inspirierendem Wort, im
Symposium; ihre tätige Hand bei der Zubereitung des Gastmahls
überträgt all die Heilkräfte ihrer Seelennatur (effektive Heilung ist
das! unprätentiös und bescheiden). Damit Frauen mit dem Fest
Grillfrühstück am Morgen (Johannes 21:3-14) endlich jene Wandlung
bewirken können, die unserer Erde Frieden bringt.
Practically, there are three temples in which we approach the personal
Divine Being. In the first temple (chapel) we understand the »Beloved
Lord« in a special form and with special qualities as the name and form
of the deity that we favour in our nature and personality. In the second
temple (our own body) is »God only true person«: all-personality, 'which
imbues the mind with spiritual joy and enlightens with the spiritual
light' (Sri Aurobindo). In the third temple »the awakening of the human
spirit« takes place; there, the realisations of the spiritual and divine
Supreme Being as man and woman meet in cosmic religiosity.
Planetary consciousness rises above boundaries of our self-centredness
"There is a wonderful way that helps living beings to
realise purification, to overcome sorrow and grief directly, to put an
end to pain and fear, to take the right path and to realise freedom from
suffering. This path is the path of Four Anchorages of Mindfulness."
Maha-Satipatthana-Sutta, Majjhima-Nikāya, 10th discourse. [Women cannot
agree until they have attained this state.]

"The soles of the feet are carefully placed on the
thighs, pointing upwards, the hands also directed upwards between them.
This is where the gaze is directed. The gaze is directed to the tip of
the nose, then the tongue is rolled upwards to the root of the incisors,
the chin is lowered to the chest, thus, the life energy can be slowly
drawn upwards." 'Then I heard something like the call of a great
multitude. And they sang a new song. (Revelations 5:9).
From the meeting house in the garden of the heavenly light of women [Noor-un-Nisa].
The sanctuary founded for mankind is the Universel –
abundant in blessings and 'a guideline for all peoples'. In it are clear
signs: the place of 'Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Buddha' – whoever enters this
house has peace. To gather for dialogue in the sanctuary, whoever can
find his way there, is a noble men's 'duty before God': this makes
women's hearts devoted towards the cultural spirit. 'And We provide them
with the fruit and meat of what they desire' (Sura 52, The Mountain).
Aischa berichtete: „Elf Frauen saßen zusammen, und sie hatten einander
versprochen sich nichts über ihre Ehemänner zu verschweigen. Die elfte
Frau erzählte: Mein Mann ist Abu Zar! Welch wunderbarer Mann er ist! Er
machte mich so glücklich, dass ich mich über mich selbst freuen konnte.
Eines Tages verließ er unser Haus. Es war zu der Zeit, als die
Milchschläuche zur Butterherstellung geschleudert wurden. Er begegnete
einer Frau mit zwei Knaben, die Geparden glichen und mit Granatäpfeln
spielten. Da schied Abu Zar sich von mir und heiratete diese Frau. Ich
heiratete darauf einen angesehenen und großmütigen Mann, der ein
vorzügliches Pferd ritt und immer eine Lanze mit sich führte. Er machte
mir viele Geschenke, er gab mir von allen Weidetieren ein Paar und
sagte: Iss, O Umm Zar, und trag Sorge um die Deinen! Doch selbst wenn
ich alles zusammenrechne, was dieser mir gegeben hat, so kommt es doch
dem unbedeutendsten Utensil, das Abu Zar mir schenkte, nicht gleich.“
Aischa, ergänzte: „Der Gesandte Gottes, Gottes Segen und Heil auf ihm,
sagte zu mir: „O Aischa, ich bin zu dir wie Abu Zar zu Umm Zar!“
Sahih Muslim 4481
The true affinity of everyone's life is to attain the Maria
Immaculata, that God-woman who cannot be touched, nor embraced, nor
understood. The hidden blessing of this knowledge is the first step
towards the perfection of human life. As soon as a couple becomes aware
of this fact, they realise that there is something in life that makes
them truly happy and fulfils their hearts' desire, so that they can say:
"Although there are many things in life that we need for the moment and
that we will certainly work for, yet there is only she, the One that
life revolves around and who will satisfy us: spiritual attainment,
religious achievement or, as we can also call it: unification in God."
The sacred in the world – The way to always maintain confidentiality
with God
"You will be carried on the breasts and caressed on the
knees. Like a mother caresses her child, so I will comfort you. When you
see this, your heart will rejoice, and you will blossom like fresh
grass." (Isaiah 66:12-14). 'Just as a mother finds joy when she can take
her beloved child on her lap, nourish and caress it, the Creator is also
pleased when He likewise may treat souls who have given themselves
completely to Him and who put all their trust in His goodness. For the
grace of God is that unfathomable treasure, through which we become the
beloved friends of our Creator.' Alphonsus Maria von Liguori.
"Bodhisattva is the most exalted elixir that overcomes the dominion of
death, the inexhaustible treasure that eliminates poverty in the world,
the supreme medicine that cures all the diseases of the world.
Bodhisattva is the tree that gives protection to all beings who are
tired of wandering on the path of conditioned existence, the great
bridge, that leads to freedom from birth in lower realms, the rising
moon of the mind that dissolves the torments of constant concepts, the
mighty sun that finally dispels the mists of delusion in the world."
Shantideva: A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life.
Psalm 83 A prayer in relation to war – plea for help
against the enemies of culture – A prayer of supplication to the
immaculate heart for protection against invasion
"They cry out: 'Let us conquer God's land! My God, let them whirl away
like dust, like chaff before the wind! Like the fire that burns whole
forests, like the flame that scorches mountains, chase them away with
your storm and scare them with your weather! Cover their faces with
disgrace, so that they may ask your name, O Lord. Let them be ashamed,
let them perish for ever, let them perish with infamy. Let them
recognise that it is you. Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High
over all the earth."
"It's not his shape, it's not his appearance, and it's not what he says.
It is His atmosphere. It is that which communicates His presence to you,
that which conveys His atmosphere to you. Now let your mind wander to
Mount Kailas, to visit 'Shiva' as he sits there in samadhi, master over
the physical and mental functions; while you are still psychologically
hampered by addictions you cannot attune yourself to His consciousness,
but the influence of His powerful being could help you overcome these
addictions. – And as for 'Buddha': reaching his consciousness would make
you free, because He found freedom. But He is uncompromising, so you
would have to give up not only your desires but to give up desires
altogether. 'Krishna' is of course an anticipation of 'Christ': He is
God who became a child and therefore human. To find his soul 'Sita'
again, 'Rama' puts his animal nature entirely at the service of his
heavenly nature." Hazrat Pir Vilayat Inayat
Khan, The Juliet Hollister Award 2004.
Art can only save the world – soul-fulfilled art that arises from the
insight of the path of initiation. It is the Cultural Creatives who must
therefore be given the first place in the future; for it is they who,
with their character, are the composers of a 'philosophy of music' that
resounds as a 'criticism of religions' (Bhagavad-gita 18:66) to help
people with body and soul to realise what the intelligence of the Divine
Mother considers right, true and beautiful, and what the enlightened
soul conscience of men also considers good, so that that communal spirit
can flow into the programming of the universe, which the planets [Sun
(the Great Mother), Mercurius (Genius), Venus (the Great Goddess), Moon
(St Mary Magdalene), Mars (Shiva), Jupiter (Rama), Saturn (the dervish),
Urania (Chokmah / celestial women)], which in turn exert their influence
on the whole of humanity. The Cultural Creatives, by regularly giving
their hearts full of love to the enlightened femininity – being able to
introduce order and reason into their thoughts and feelings in such a
way that the aristocracy of women – through imitation – regains its
living soul, then there will be peace and health "for the sake of love",
and humanity will follow and finally find its peace.
The star of 'Bethlehem' (House of Bread)
is the interaction of two planets: Jupiter {Rama} and Saturn {Buddha} in
the zodiac sign 'Pisces' (Christ as man and woman), "the eternal
procreation of the Word in spiritual being and its birth in time, as the
Planetary Consciousness, through the work of the Holy Spirit". The
circle of this mystery widens in the zodiac sign 'Aquarius'
(fraternity): 'When the moon is in the Seventh
House And Jupiter aligns with Mars {Shiva} Then peace will guide the
planets And love will steer the stars' (Musical Hair: The
Aquarius-Song).
The learning of the feelings from the light of the Divine
Mother is the dialogue path, to unveil to the feminine pleasure the
unholy, soulless. Only our understanding of the higher order, at work in
nature, can promote harmonious coexistence with our ecosystem: "For we
are the temple of the living God" (2 Corinthians 6:16).
Denn Du hast dieses 'Ich' und 'Wir' ersonnen, um das
Spiel der Anbetung
mit Dir Selbst zu spielen, so dass alle Ich's und Du's zu einer einzigen
Seele werden
und schließlich ganz im Geliebten versinken.
Maulana
Jelal ud-Din Rumi
