Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Dear Mark, The comforter, the holy spirit, eleuterios... oh yes! About 5 years ago, when I was with Emmy and Emanuel on a trip through Europe, in a small Italian village San Gemignano (in the saint Augustine church) the "Sprit of Truth" once more descended into me, I was then ready to totally surrender myself to Truth. Have you ever seen the pictures of the visions of Hildegard von Bingen (a Bavarian mystica from the year 1000) I started to get visions very much resembling hers. You want me to send you some scans? Love and shared INSPIRATION Love you so, Mark Wim PS Mark, will you allow me to set up a section on my website for your poems... I gather you don't have time for that... and I will gladly share cyberspace with you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Not sure that my previous post made it So here another expanded post, but this time without the attachments of Hildegard's von Bingen's visions. ------------ Yes dear Michael, > "Wim Borsboom" wrote: > > snip- > Have you ever seen the pictures of the visions of Hildegard von > Bingen (a Bavarian mystica from the year 1000) I started to get > visions very much resembling hers. You want me to send you some scans? > snip- Michael wrote: > She also promoted the killing of Jews. So did Saint Bernard, so did the grail seekers, so did a whole slew of skeletons in our closet. Who has not at some time... ... ...? Maybe not killing the Jews but the equivalent... We share in everything, we share our past, the problems and ... the solutions, the future It is complex, why making it appear simple with such a short remark, Michael? I know you are not saying more than what you are saying, so I'm tempted to leave it at that... But that is hard, you know me... The Balkan is built on a heap of those skeletons, all with crosses of some sort (sword)! It is now that we can also free our ancestors.. (Hildegard being one of them...), the killers and the killed.... While we are at it, we may as well free some Jews (the killers and the killed) and some Islamics (the killers and the killed) and some Sikhs (the killers and the killed) and some Ethiopians (the killers and the killed) and some Germans (the killers and the killed) and some Dutch (the killers and the killed) and some Portuguese (the killers and the killed) and some Indians (the killers and the killed) and some Spanish (the killers and the killed) and some Aztecs (the killers and the killed) and some Canadians (the killers and the killed) and some Egyptians (the killers and the killed) and some Arabs (the killers and the killed) and some Russians (the killers and the killed) and some Tamils (the killers and the killed) and some Koreans (the killers and the killed) and some Vietnamese (the killers and the killed) and some Americans (the killers and the killed) and some English (the killers and the killed) and some Cambodians (the killers and the killed) and some French (the killers and the killed) and some Moguls (the killers and the killed) and some Japanese (the killers and the killed) and some Chinese (the killers and the killed) and some Tibetans (the killers and the killed)...and then some ... may as well free the lot... not by embracing or distantiating ourselves with and from them but... seeing them within us... Milarepa...............(Remember his hail storms?)............ I have done things... pretty bad... in my life, would have ended me up in hell according to some standards, have not written about everything yet... Bit more serious than UT for sure. :-) If only what I did wrong was remembered what is the use of forgiveness, compassion, all this work we do to reclaim our original being, indeed what is the use of the help and forgiveness I received from the ones I hurt... ? What can we claim to know about Hildegard when we don't even know ourselves? This maybe a moment to apply the light that we got lit with at some point... to actualize that light, to realize it... to shine it upon the darker issues (the killings). To have the dark dissolve from hard work, not denying it. Nor keeping it as anecdote, to keep handy, so we can solidify it... so that it can become a stone in another wave of killing. I know you are not saying that, just as much as I'm not putting my head in the sand. I was almost killed by a German hospital overseer... I don't remember that about him though, I remember his beautiful bespectacled face, the love we exchanged after the resolution. No use to meditate, to do lovey dovey, to think we are beyond duality, life or death. Just when we are ready to start judging that is the moment to dissolve that with that innate light of wisdom... Omigosh, did I sound serious... :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) This is spring now, just now, a new beginning...
