It’s a Process Language Lessons of the Heart

… Fra Robert

Souls in tourment stand forward

Dedicate yourselves not to pain, but to love and focus your gaze inward to remember what you have lost.
Tears for the past do not heal it and sitting in suffering only prevents moving forward with the wind like the great Eagle.
Seeds will be scattered and flowers will return to fertile lands.
Help by recognising which ground it is you walk on and make your decision.

a lost soul

Lige så sikkert som "Amen" i kirken

This garden universe vibrates complete
Some may get a sound so sweet
Vibrations reach on up to become light
And then through gamma, out of sight
Between the eyes and ears there lie
The sounds of color and the light of a sigh
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe
But it’s all around if we could but perceive
To know ultra violet, infra-red and X-rays
Beauty to find in so many ways
Two notes of the chord, that’s our full scope
But to reach the chord is our life’s hope
And to name the chord is important to some
So they give a word and the word is Om
The Word
Moody Blues

Hurra for biblioteker, vidensuniverset og bibliotekarer

OM GUD OG EFTERLIVET 
“Vi er i samme situation som et lille barn, der træder ind i et kæmpestort bibliotek fyldt med bøger på mange forskellige sprog.
Barnet ved, at der må være nogen, som har skrevet disse bøger.
Det ved ikke hvordan. Barnet har vage anelser om en mystisk orden, som bøgerne er arrangeret i, men ved ikke hvad den består i. Det forekommer mig, at det er den holdning, selv det mest intelligente menneske har til Gud”.

– Albert Einstein

Der er "Noget af Gud", i og ved ethvert menneske

Gott sei vor dir, um dir den rechten weg zu zeigen,
Gott sei neben dir, um dich in die Arme zu schleissen, um dich zu schützen gegen Gefahren.
Gott sei hinter dir, um dich aufzufangen, wenn du fällst.
Gott sei in dir, um dich zu trösten, wenn du traurig bist.
Gott sei um dich herum. um dich zu verteidigen, wenn andre über dich herfallen.
Gott sie über dir, um dich zu segnen.
So segne dich Gott, heute und allezeit.
Wünchen mit Gottes Segen auf dem weider weg,
von ein deutche kirche wenn man es weider verlassen.

Den naturvidenskabelige metode

Naturvidenskabelig metode, udført i praksis,
indeholder en række trin:
Observationer og opdagelser leder til videnskabelige spørgsmål,
der opstilles i form af hypoteser,
der kan lede til falsificerbare tests,
der efterprøves af observation og eventuelt detektion,
der igen leder til nye spørgsmål.
Der så igen opstilles i form af hypoteser,
der kan lede til falsificerbare tests,
der efterprøves af observation og eventuelt detektion,
der igen leder til nye spørgsmål.

The War Racket

Ooo you’re slick – you investors in hate
You Saddams and you Bushes You Bin Ladens and snakes
You billionaire bullies You’re a globalized curse
You put war on the masses while you clean out the purse
And that’s how it’s done War after war
You old feudal parasites just sacrifice the poor
Got the cutting edge weapons but your scam’s still the same
as it’s been since the Romans: It’s the patriot game
It’s the war racket It’s the war racket
You twisters of language – Creeps of disguise
Your disinformation – Worms in your eyes
You Halloween robbers You privileged thieves
You profit on war: there’s less money in peace
That’s how it’s done time after time
Country after country and crime after crime
You pretend it’s religion and there’s no one to blame for
the dead and impoverished in the patriot
in the War Racket
We got the worlds greatest power and you team up with thugs
Make a fortune on weapon, destruction and drugs
But your Flags & boots & uniforms start to all look the same
when both sides are playing the patriot game.
It’s the War Racket
That’s how it’s done and you’ve got our sons
in the crosshairs of horror at the end of a gun
But your flags & boots & uniforms all turn to shame
when both sides are playing the patriot game
And war is never, never holy
It’s just a greedy men’s dream
And you 2-faced crusaders – Both sides are obscene.
War is NOT made by God: it IS made by men who
misdirect our attention while you thieves do your thing
And that’s how it’s done
About every 30 years
The rich fill their coffers
The poor fill with tears
The young fill the coffins
The old hang a wreath
The politicians get photographed with their names underneath.
It’s the patriot game It’s the war racket
Buffy Sainte-Marie

Freden bliver kun til i næstekærlighedens jordbund

Det eneste krig efterlader er minder om det fortabte,
og hvordan soldater gik i døden sammen
– ligegyldig hvilken side de var på.
Sejrens hædr, belyser de besejredes brister.
Den fortæller verden om de andres fejl,
men glemmer sine egne misgerninger.
Alessandro Pepe, My Honor Was Loyalty

Küsst die faschisten wo ihr sie trefft / Hvornår er fascisme farlig? …. Hver gang

Rosen auf den Weg gestreut

Ihr müßt sie lieb und nett behandeln,
erschreckt sie nicht – sie sind so zart!
Ihr müßt sie Palmen sie umwandeln,
getreulich ihrer Eigenart!
Pfeift eierm Hunde, wenn er sie ankläfft:
küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft!

Wenn sie in ihren Sälen hetzen,
sagt, »Ja und Amen – aber gern!
Hier habt ihr mich – schlagt mich in Fetzen!«
Und prügeln sie, so lobt den Herrn.
Denn Prügeln ist doch ihr Geschäft!
Küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft!

Und schießen sie: du lieber Himmel,
schätzt ihr das Leben so hoch ein?
Das ist ein Pazifisten-Fimmel!
Wer möchte nicht gern Opfer sein?
Und spürt ihr auch in euerm Bauch
den Hitlerdolch, tief, bis zum Heft:
Küßt die Faschisten, wo ihr sie trefft!

Her om Kurt Tucholsky i Den store danske.dk
 

Halleluja

Halleluja (Leonard Cohen)
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
(- Halleluja I Steffen Brandt (TV2) udgave: På danske læber, 2004)
Men baby du ved jeg har været her før
Jeg åbnede det vindue og lukkede den dør
Jeg boede her da jeg lærte dig at kende
Da jeg så dig marchere under flag og sang
Men kærlighed er ikke en sejersgang
Det er et vaklende og fortvivlet Halleluja
Måske er der en Gud et sted
Men alt hvad jeg ved om kærlighed
Er hvordan man piner livet ud af sig selv.
Det her er ikke et klageråb
En udbrændt pilgrims sidste håb
Det er et koldt og det er et ensomt Halleluja
Jeg gjorde det bedste jeg ku’ gøre
Jeg ved ikk’ hvad jeg følte men jeg prøvede at røre
Jeg talte sandt, jeg kom ikke for at svigte
Og selvom alt gik galt, alt hvad jeg gjorde og sagde
Vil jeg stå foran Gud på den sidste dag
Med intet andet end et Halleluja

Et vaklende og fortvivlet Halleluja er i Leonard Cohens udgave blevet ”a cold and broken Hallelujah”. Et koldt og et brudt Halleluja.
Midt i smerten (kærlighed er ikke en sejersgang) kan mennesket alligevel udråbe sit menneskelige Halleluja (til livet, til verden eller til Gud!?).

Just Another Day

Oh it’s just another day,
It’s just another day on Earth
Oh it’s just another day,
Just another day,
It’s just another day on Earth
Oh it’s just another day on Earth
It’s just another day on Earth
One day, we will put it all behind,
We’ll say, that was just another time,
We’ll say, that was just another day on Earth
We’ll say, that was just another time,
One day, we will put it all behind,
We’ll say, that was just another day on Earth
Just another day,
It’s just another day,
Oh it’s just another day on Earth
It’s just another day on Earth
Brian Eno
(Hør den her)

Echoes

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the where or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

Fearless

[spacer height=”20px”]
You say the hill’s too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing.
You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today.
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns ’round
Frowning.
And who’s the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

Magdalene

Though I know the night has fallen and the sun’s sailed out to sea
I will wait here for the band to play the trumpet voluntary
And with one foot on the seashore and the other in the sand
I will stand here plaiting daisies whilst you play the piano-grand
Caprice, your bugle blew away the cobwebs from my ears
And for once I stood quite naked. unashamed, I wept the tears
Which I tried to hide inside myself from me, I mean from you
But the shame I found too painful and the pain it only grew
Magdalene, my regal zonophone
