This entire globe, this star, not being subject to death, and dissolution and annihilation being impossible anywhere in Nature, from time to time renews itself by changing and altering all its parts. There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the centre of things.
I would like to share with you something of my advaitic experience … I was overwhelmed and deluged with love. The feminine in me opened up and a whole new vision opened. I saw love as the basic principle of the whole universe. I saw God in the earth, in trees, in mountains. It led me to the conviction that there is no absolute good or evil in this world. We have to let go of all concepts which divide the world into good and evil, right and wrong, and begin to see the complimentarity of opposites which Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa called the coincidentia oppositorum, the “coincidence of opposites”.
Breakfast, a bath
sitting, some music
a nap, an
e-mail, what else
Your eyes! your
eyes! this kingdom
for your eyes
to see me
now, and yesterday
and in a
year’s time, when
calm and good
looking at you
I will shatter
your guts and
your minds in
a vortex of
something so indescribably
complex I can
only be love
Great, with hindsight
Monasteries are like
prisons but with
out the sex
