Are you walking, or is someone walking,
aren’t you shortening his steps?
Are you watching, or is someone watching,
aren’t you erasing his eyes?
Do you live, or does someone live,
aren’t you taking his life?
And what will you do
when you become what you are
in front of third eyes?
“You are on my foundation,
if it weren’t for me,
you wouldn’t be either.”
“I am on your foundation,
if you weren’t there,
I wouldn’t be either”,
reads the flow and counterflow
of space and time,
the Gordian knot of the mother creation
actualized in human.
But everyone follows only one current
between alpha and omega
until the day the Gordian knot loosens
and one depicted after the other
becomes the one and only.
An actual human without an image,
or an actual image without a human,
for the Gordian knot is you yourself
in your own opposite.
And the opposite of your opposite
is your Lord.
He will rise in yours, and you in His,
when you will dream your own away,
because no one has ever had his own,
has and will not have,
yet he will live.
Do not dream of the secret of your eternity,
lest you get lost in your own steps.
When you feel someone like yourself,
you know them without words.
You do not know that he sleeps in yours
and you in his
in the morning dawn.
This world is only a circle and a sail,
but no one has sailed into the distances yet.
So, do not judge
because you haven’t seen anything yet,
but you were born for eternal journeys.
There are no live faces in front of you anymore,
only your own can stop you.
But when your own face also passes,
it will be too late,
and then you will know
what you have known all the days of your life.
The future and the past are getting separated
and are moving out of each other’s homes,
but you, child, are remaining alone.
Do not get attached to the past with a name,
so that the future without a name can enter your everyday life,
and when you give it a name and call it “bird”,
the bird will sit in your hand.
And when you give it a name and call it “river”,
the river will gurgle from your hands.
Do not look for the right measure of your deed.
Just be a measure,
because you do not know where you came from
and where you are going.
Do not equate illusion with reality,
lest you get ahead of yourself
and arrive before you have arrived
to be able to see.
For when you will see
what your eyes have seen
before you were,
you will no longer be.
“Did you worship yourself or me?”
asks the Lord.
“What will you do
when I stand before you
as one of the code none
you carry inside?”
“Will it not shake you to the bone?”
