I.5 All Things PassAll things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all nightBut Earth... sky... thunder...
wind... fire... lake...
mountain... water...
These always changeAnd if these do not last
Do man’s visions last ?
Do man’s illusions ?During the session
Take things as they comeAll things passI.6 The Message Of PostureDuring the session
Observe your body
Mandala of the universeObserve your body
Of ancient design
Holy temple of consciousness
Central stage of the oldest dramaObserve its structured wonders
Skin... hair... tissus...
Bone... vein... muscle...
Net of nerveObserve its message
Does it merge or does it strain ?
Does it rest serene on sacred ground ?
Or tilt, propped up by wire and sticks ?On tiptoe one cannot stand for long
Tension retards the flowSuperfluous noise and redundant action
Stand out-square, proud, cramped
Against the harmonyObserve the mandala of your body--------------------------------------------------------
------------------------II) The experience of elemental energy - Homage to the atomII.5 Sheating The SelfThe play of energy endures
Beyond strivingThe play of energy endures
Beyond bodyThe play of energy endures
Beyond lifeOut here

Beyond strivingII.8 Hold Fast To The VoidNotice how this space
Between Heaven and Earth
Is like a bellowsAlways full, always emptyCome in here, go out thereBreathing...
SilenceThis is no time for talk
Better to hold fast to the voidII.9 Take In-Let GoTo breathe in
You must first breathe out
Let goTo hold
You must first open your hand

You must first be naked
Let go----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------III) The experience of seed-cell energy - Homage to DNA
III.3 Clear WaterThe seed of mystery
Lies in muddy waterHow can we fathom thi muddiness ?
Water becomes clear through stillnessHow can we become still ?
By moving with the streamIII.8 Fourfold Representation Of The MisteryBefore Heaven and Earth
There was somethig nebulous
Tranquil... effortless
Permeating universally
Revolving soundlessly
FusingIt may be regarded as the Mother
Of all organic formsIts name is not known nor its language
But it is called TaoThe ancient sages called it "great"
The Great TaoGreat means in harmony
In harmony means tuned in
Tuned in means going far
Going far means returning
To the harmonyThe Tao is great
The coil of life is greatThe body is great
The human is designed to be greatThere are in existence four great notes
The human is made to be one thereofWhen you place yourself in harmony with your body
The body tunes itself to the slow unfolding of life
Life flows in harmony with the TaoAll proceeds
Naturally
In tuneIII.10 This Is ItThe seed moves so slowly and serenely
Moment to moment
That it appears inactiveThe garden at sunrise breathing
The quiet breath of twilight
Moment to moment to momentWhen we are in tune with this blissfull rhythm
The ten thousand forms flourish
Without effortIt is all so simple
Each next moment...
This is it !III.11 Gate Of The Soft MisteryValley of life
Gate of the Soft Mystery
Beginnings in the lowest place
Gate of the Soft Mystery
Gate of the Dark Woman
Gate of the Soft Mystery
Seed of all living
Gate of the Soft Mystery
Constantly enduring
Gate of the Soft Mystery
Enter
Gently...III.12 The Lesson Of SeedThe soft overcomes the hard
The small overcomes the large
The gentle survives the strong
The invisible survives the visibleFish should be left in deep water
Fire and iron kept under ground
Seed should be left free
To grow in the rhythm of life--------------------------------------------------------

"I’ve been blind all my life to this radiance"Retinal mandala
Swamp mosaic of rods and cones
Light rays hurtle into retina 186,000 miles per second
Cross scope
Retinal scriptureThe Blind I
Recoils at glittering energy
Impersonal, mocking
Illusions of control
"Too bright ! Turn it off !
Bring back the shadow world !"The Seer Eye
Vibrates to the trembling web of light
Merges with the seen
Merges with the scene
Slides down optical whirlpool
Through central needle pointIV.2 HearingSound waves, sound waves

Sympathetic vibrations
Float along liquid canalsSingle piano note

-------------------------V) The experience of the chakras - Homage to the internal senses
V.1 The Root ChakraCan you float through the universe of your body
and not lose your way ?
Can you dissolve softly ?
Decompose ?
Can you rest
dormant seed-light
buried in moist earth ?
Can you drift
single-celled
in soft tissue swamp ?
Can you sink
into your dark
fertile marsh ?
Can you spiral slowly
down the great central river ?V.3 The Heart ChakraCan you float through the universe of your body
and not lose your way ?
Flow with fire-blood
Through each tissued corridor ?Can you let your heart
pump down red tunnels
stream into cell chambers ?Can you center on this
Heart-fire of love ?Can you let your heart
pulse for all love
beat for all sorrow
throb for all pain
thud for all joy
swell for all mankind ?Can you let it flow
With compassion
for all life ?V.4 The Throat ChakraCan you float through the universe of your body
and not lose your way ?
Breathing
Can you drift into free air ?
Rise on the trembling vibration
of inhale and exhale ?Can you ascend the fragile thread of breath
into cloud-blue bliss ?
Can you spiral up through soft atmosphere
Breathing
Catch the moment between in-breath and out-breath
Just there...Can you float beyond life and death
BreathingV.6 Ascending Ladder Of ChakrasDrift along your body’s soft swampland
where warm mud sucks lazilyFeel each cell in your body communicating
in serpent-coiled rainbow orgasmFeel the sensuous rhythm of time
pulsing life along the arterial networkBring the ethereal breath of life into
the white rooms of your brainRadiate golden light out to
the four corners of creation----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------VI) Re-entry : the experience of the imprinted world - Homage to the symbolic mind
VI.1 The Moment Of FullnessGrab hold tightly
Let go lightlyThe full cup can take no more
The candle burns down
The taut bow must be loosed
The razor edge can no long endureNor this moment re-livedSo now...
Grab hold tightly
So now...
Let go lightlyVI.5 The Lesson Of WaterWhat one values in the game
is the playWhat one values in the form
is the moment of formingWhat one values in the house
is the moment of dwellingWhat one values in the heart
is the beatingWhat one values in the action
is the timingIndeed
Because you flow like water
You can neither win nor loseVI.6 The Utility of NothingThe Nothing at the center of the thirty-spoke wheel...The Nothing of the clay vase...The Nothing within the four walls...The goal of the game is to go beyond the gameYou lose your mindTo use your headYou lose your mindTo use your headVI.10 Illustration Of A Tao ImprintHe stands apart
serene
curiously observingHe stands quietly
looking forlorn
like an infant who has not yet
learned to know what to smile atHe is a little sad for what he seesWhile others enjoy their possessions
he lazily drifts, a homeless
do-nothing, owning nothingOr he moves slowly close to the landWhile others are crisp and definite
he seems indecisiveHe does not appear to be making his way
in the worldHe is differentA wise infant nursing at the breast
Of all lifeInsideVI.11 Keep In TouchThe Tao flows everywhereKeep in touch
Be at home
EverywhereHe who loses the contact
Is alone
EverywhereKeeping in touch with the Tao
Is called
HarmonyIV.13 The Conscious Application Of StrengthForce recoils
But
The time comes
When there is nothing to do
Except act consciously
With courageVI.14 Victory CelebrationCelebrate your victory
with funeral rites
for your slain illusionsWear some black at your weddingVI.15 Along The GrainThe Tao is nameless
Like uncarved woodAs soon as it is carved
There are namesCarve carefully
Along the grainVI.16 He Who Knows The Center EnduresWho knows the outside is clever
Who knows the center endures
Who masters others gains robot power
Who comes to the center has flowering strengthFaith of consciousness is freedom
Hope of consciousness is strength
Love of consciousness evokes the same in returnFaith of seed frees
Hope of seed flowers
Love of seed grows
