Algumas Coisas,Manuel António Pina
Algumas Coisas
A morte e a vida morrem
e sob a sua eternidade fica
só a memória do esquecimento de tudo;
também o silêncio de aquele que fala se calará.
Quem fala de estas
coisas e de falar de elas
foge para o puro esquecimento
fora da cabeça e de si.
O que existe falta
sob a eternidade;
saber é esquecer, e
esta é a sabedoria e o esquecimento.
e sob a sua eternidade fica
só a memória do esquecimento de tudo;
também o silêncio de aquele que fala se calará.
Quem fala de estas
coisas e de falar de elas
foge para o puro esquecimento
fora da cabeça e de si.
O que existe falta
sob a eternidade;
saber é esquecer, e
esta é a sabedoria e o esquecimento.
Manuel António Pina - A porta estreita (por José-António Moreira)
Manuel António Pina - A porta estreita
A porta estreita
A porta estreita do regresso
abre-se finalmente para aquele
que perdeu a paciência e também a impaciência
e que pára sobre o coração sem lugar de tudo.
A visão de esse, de o que está fora,
de aquele que regressa sem ter partido
dançando sobre os destroços da sua imagem,
é o que me vê a mim; falo ainda de mim
embora por um momento só.
Mas já não sou o mesmo nem sou diferente.
O dentro de isto está fora
de mim e de si próprio.
quotes on inner authority, from another blog, see link
"If we are outwardly directed, immersed in the natural and sensual world, we love being slaves; our desires drive us. If we are inwardly directed, then we have an interest in being a master of ourselves and the world; and yet this confers a tremendous power which the ego just absolutely loves to get hold of. Destruction usually ensues; take a look around you. The whole world runs on this downward trending principal.
I digress here. The important point is that when I speak about developing an inner authority, it is authority not in the sense of direction and dictatorship — control and perhaps even tyranny — it means having an essence- emanation that emerges in an unfettered (free) form from the inward flow of both spiritual and natural impressions, in the center of gravity where they mix together.
That authority — which means, original nature of Being — only forms from the confluence of the spiritual and the natural ..."

"An inward authority is never abusive, critical, or destructive. It may resist that which is wrong or egoistic; and such action is right action. Yet it finds ways to do this without harming, in so far as it is able. None of us are good at this; and everyone harms from time to time, but the aim is to develop in such a way that this inward authority becomes more intelligent, more sensitive, more compassionate, and uses that intelligence, sensitivity, and compassion to attempt to honor and obey the conditions of life in every way as they arise. Honor and obedience are critical factors in this kind of inward authority, which involves the sacrifice of one's own egoistic authority in exchange for a much greater authority that is, as I say, anti-egoistic.
Anti-egoistic authority is not my own authority. It arises at a higher level; and I become a receiver for it, to the extent of my capacity. Once again, this anti-egoistic authority is in fact the most powerful and important teacher, since it knows everything I need at any given moment within my inward development and outer conditions. If I trust it, many extraordinary things become possible — things that are not at all extraordinary or even visible outwardly, but that change my inward attitude when I am in relationship."
