I will be listening to Kiss92 the whole day *th[]ough. I got to do some house chores, take a short nap and catch up with my reading.
* Yes let's just chill.
That is what my rational brain is saying. My irrational side is saying let's do some data mining at Master Jedi's website. You game hon?
The Ascension of the Spirit
(Mathnawi III: 3901-3906)
(Mathnawi III: 3901-3906)
I died to the mineral state and became a plant,
I died to the vegetable state and reached animality,
I died to the animal state and became a man,
then what should I fear?
I have never become less from dying.
At the next charge I will die to human nature,
so that I may lift up my head and wings,
and soar among the angels.
And I must jump from the river of the angel:
"Everything perishes except His Face"
Once again I will become sacrificed from the angel,
I will become that which cannot come into the imagination.
Then I will become non-existent,
non-existence says to me like an organ:
"Truly, to Him is our return"
but He was not there;
I went to Muslims’ Kaaba in Mecca,
but God was not there either.
but God was not there either.
I went to the old Jewish Synagogue
and the Hindu Temple of Idols,
and the Hindu Temple of Idols,
but I couldn’t find a trace of God anywhere.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers,
but God was way beyond their understanding!
but God was way beyond their understanding!
I then looked deep into my heart and
it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him
it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him
God was nowhere else to be found.
(RUMI)
Alas, don't tell me the Christians are lost.
Don't tell me the Jews are lost.
Don't tell me the infidels are lost.
Alas, my brother, you are lost,
That is why everyone else seems lost.
- RUMI
Why wouldn't we see
what a blind man could see?
Why would we want a blind man see?
What is there to see?
He is blind... isn't he?
Pilgrims!
why are you turning round in circles,
what are you looking for?
The Beloved is here, why search in the desert?
If you look deep in your heart,
you will find Him within yourself.
You have made the pilgrimage
and trod the path to Mecca many times.
You rave about the holy place
and say you've visited God's garden
but where is your bunch of flowers?
You tell stories about diving deep into the ocean
but where is your pearl?
There is some merit in the suffering you have endured
but what a pity you have not discovered
the Mecca that's inside.
(Translation by Azima Melita Kolin & Maryam Mafi, "Rumi: Hidden Music", HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2001)
That will be it for now. Master Jedi likes to speak in cryptic. So naturally his Blog is very illustrative. I just stick to my own quotes then:

Gosh, too intellectual. I just want to hang loose. Let's look at food:
This is ridiculous...
I just chill with the songs from Kiss92.
This song is on air:
Another Cybernetic Loop:
Sarah, how come they are so precise in their Thought Invasion?
Can you imagine like last night, one ace after another from 9:00 pm until 4:00 am. They are really good Sarah. It's like bull's eye *a[nd] the time they fire a shot.
Listen to this, SEPTEMBER SONG... OMG my month of birth!:
* So you are thinking they did it on purpose? It's not that hard isn't it? All it takes is to do a bit of data mining and they are set to go.
Whatever it is they are really good. I'm hooked Sarah.
