Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Open Your Mouth Let a sweet drop from the grapevine fall into your mouth from a long night of thirst. If you are weary of travel lay back and open something so that it can be like a cup in the desert its mouth open for the first sign of rain. The wine you drink now is your own. It is still salty from the dead sea, but this thirst for more will call down a lovers sustenance full of the taste of Her body. A taste that your heart needs to recognize as the water of your life. Love has said: I have covered you with a drowsiness to give you calm from Myself... And She has also said: We have opened you... These truths are not Her contradiction but yours. They are the known sea and the rain from an ocean that pulls you into bliss. One tastes the other to be sweet. In a street full of unwashed beggars it is easy to see a beautiful woman. In a harem you may miss the Beautiful One. Start undressing your soul as if you only had this instant with Her before the King finds you asleep in bed, and before the cock crows thrice for your clothes. If you can stay awake for one hour in this world you will have truly lived. If you can light your candle for one night without dreaming, The heavens will crack open your husk and you will pour out the whole Koran into your empty cup. Be content to be Her pleasuring. For everything there is a certain sign. The sign of love is the surrendering of your tongue. Love has planted a tree in paradise where two lovers are entwined Each branch is the love of the other and they are so closely bound that the sap runs through the tree as one kiss. Stay deep within the Sheba of love that has opened Her body for you. You have been allotted a certain amount of kindling to be your fire. Gather the tinder in the rose garden and make a bonfire. Watch without flinching as your vanities dance the seven smoking veils. The bride of Christ is the soul of every courtesan. Jesus is your fervor to languish in the flames. This place is a campfire that cannot be taken to the ocean. Burn what you have. The phoenix buries its egg deep within the hot ash to incubate it. Inquire deeply who is the one who watches over it until it hatches. Squeeze your soul like a lemon between two powerful hands. One hand is fire the other water The essence of yourself will fall as a droplet that is neither one nor the other, but both. It will be a drink for lovers. She has opened you but sleep walkers often miss the door. If you are not weary of doing this play on your own, even if you have a cast of thousands at hand. Even if you still only love to direct the small parts, you will miss the door, for there is no door but you. Stay open mouthed and thirsty for directions. For the wine that contains the full scripture as every drop must find you open wide to be an oceans thirst. Hold out your heart like a cup in the desert and be willing to drown for love. love eric _________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay deep within the Sheba of love that has opened Her body for you. "The body is never left behind. It is transcended and included by the mind, which is transcended and included by Spirit. The body is the foundation and the roots and the starting point. But if you merely stay there, you will totally sabotage mind and Spirit. You will get the Nirmanakaya (form body), but not the Sambhogakaya (subtle realm) and not the Dharmakaya (causal Emptiness) and not the Svabhavikakaya (nondual Suchness). But once you plug the body into these higher stages and realms, they tend to reach down and literally transfigure the physical body itself. Why, who knows, you might even begin to glow in the dark. The body will take on a strange and haunting beauty, and in any event the body will be the transparent vehicle of the primordial Spirit that you eternally are."
