Hildegard von Bingen 1098-1179

[Guest guest]

Hi, Maizie ! Loving greetings to you and to Robert !

 

I'm so glad you have access to the work of the remarkable Hildegard,

who has received renewed attention in the UK in recent times among

those who seek spiritual enlightenment.

 

To me, she appears to have been a polymath - a multitalented lady who

could also serve as a beacon for what we call here 'Womens' Lib.',

save that she would probably go about her activities so much less

stridently than some !

Dear Friends,Over the past month i've been dipping into Robert's

library of music, and boy is it a library! Today i've been listening

to the songs of Hildegard von Bingen. She was the perfect example of

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

O choruscans lux stellarum

 

Antiphon

 

O glittering starlight,

O most splendid and special form

of regal marriage,

O shining gem:

you are adorned like a noble lady

who has no blemish.

And you are a citizen of angels

and a citizen of the saints.

Flee, O flee the cave

of the old betrayer

and come, O come into the king's palace.

 

 

 

O choruscans lux stellarum,

o splendissima specialis forma

regalium nuptiarum,

o fulgens gemma:

tu es ornata in alta persona

que non habet maculatum rugam.

Tu es etiam socia angelorum

et civis sanctorum.

Fuge, fuge speluncam

antiqui perditoris,

et veniens veni in palatium regis.

 

 

LoveAlways,

 

Mazie
