Mindfulness...: Alone but not lonely...

Alone

but not lonely

Estar só.

Estar só, que não é uma filosofia de solidão, é obviamente estar num estado de revolução contra toda a sociedade estabelecida, não apenas esta sociedade, mas a sociedade comunista, a fascista, toda a forma de sociedade como brutalidade organizada, poder organizado.

E isso significa uma extraordinária percepção dos efeitos do poder.

Senhor, você já reparou naqueles soldados a treinar?

Eles não são mais seres humanos, são máquinas, eles são seus filhos e meus filhos, de pé sob o sol.

Isto está a acontecer aqui, na América, na Rússia, e em todo lugar, não apenas no nível governamental, mas também no nível monástico, fazer parte de monastérios, ordens, grupos que empregam espantoso poder. E apenas a mente que não pertence a isso pode estar só.

E a solidão não é uma coisa a ser cultivada.

Vê isto?

Quando vê tudo isto, você está fora, e nenhum governador ou presidente vai convidá-lo para jantar.

A partir dessa solidão existe humildade.

É esta solidão que conhece o amor, não poder.

O homem ambicioso, religioso ou comum, nunca saberá o que é amor. Assim, se a pessoa vê tudo isto, então tem esta qualidade de viver total e, portanto, acção total. Isto vem com o autoconhecimento.

"The book of life"

When you see 'em coming,

Ready to attack,

What you feel is numbing,

No way of turning back.

When you hear the order,

Nothing left to do,

Cross the final border,

And pray you make it through.

Think about what could've been,

And if it's goingna be...

(Chorous)

In a world torn apart,

You'll prove what you're made of

Bless every step you take.

In to in to battle

In to in to battle!

When you feel the fire,

When your body crawls,

Tough you're sick and tired,

And you're about to fall.

Think about what could've been,

And if it's goingna be...

(Chorous)

In a world torn apart,

You'll prove what you're made of

Bless every step you take...

In a nightmare awake,

Feels like hell and for heaven's sake,

Find your way back someday, someway...

In to in to battle

In to in to battle!

In to in to battle

In to in to battle!

In to in to battle

In to in to battle!

In to in to battle

Battle!!

"Battle"

I haven't a reason, a clue or a sign

I haven't the slightest idea

Of the shape of your heart or the state of your mind

Do you ever let anyone near

Do you ever reach out with arms open wide

Do you ever jump in closing your eyes

Or are you one of the fortunate kind

Alone but not lonely

Everyday on the street I study their faces

The ones who rush on through the crowd

Towards their own quiet worlds, their separate places

Somewhere I'm never allowed

'Cause I've always been one to say what I need

And than the next thing it's done and I'm watching 'em leave

And I'm thinking, I wish I could be

Alone but not lonely

So which one are you tonight

Do you change with the morning light

Do you say more than what sounds right

Do you say what you mean?

There are moments in time that are meant to be held

Like fragile, breakable things

There are others that pass us, you can't even tell

Such is their grace and their speed

And this one is gone in the blink of an eye

You can ask me the truth but tonight I will lie

Unflinching I'll tell you that I'm alone but not lonely
