We all got to die
But some people
Some people
Some people got to suffer before they die

This about a man
He’s gonna be crucified

Some people die of cancer
Some people die of AIDS
But this man’s gonna be crucified

Woke up this morning
In a deep deep
a deep sleep
I found out
I found out
I found out
I was Jesus

I don’t want to be crucified

Don’t want
Thorns on my head
Don’t want
Walk among the dead
I don’t want to be
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus

Woke up this morning
from a deep deep
a deep sleep
I found out
I found out
Found out
I was Jesus

I can’t break bread
Feed a thousand people
Turn sweet water
Into wine
Been on this earth
Too long of a time
Don’t want to be
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus

"ANYWAY WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE DEATH OF THE POET?” 

ROBERT D. ROMANYSHYN

 "But in fifth century BCE Greece, when mythos is giving way to logos, the original music of the poet as shaman is being “transmuted into the children of myth: poetry and philosophy”. It is a moment when “the Apollonian forms of Western culture were being encoded”, and Orpheus steps into this moment as a new type of poet. 

Built on the older form of the shaman, which his mythic descent into the underworld to rescue his beloved Eurydice from death fully illustrates, Orpheus also stands as the medial term between the Apollonian and the Dionysian modes of thought. 

Orpheus is a figure who embraces the “shamanic contradiction,” which according to Jack Lindsay is a bifocal consciousness.

 “The shaman,” he says, “feels himself a wholly free and independent person; yet he is at the same time nothing but the mouthpiece of forces beyond himself.” 

As one who embodies this contradiction Orpheus is a figure in whom two states of consciousness are held in a tension so that “possession becomes poetry.” "

"What Jung advocates is the recognition that the “achievement of personality means nothing less than the optimum development of the whole individual human being.” Personality, he says, “ is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.” What he advocates is an education of that new type of mind, which Plato advocated, an education that would free the soul from its enslavement to conventional norms lived out in repetitive and mimetic fashion."

"But however we regard Jung’s ambivalence with respect to the poet there is also this testimony, spoken in a kind of reverie about one year before he died:

 'Somewhere there was once a Flower, a Stone, a Crystal, a Queen, a King, a Palace, a Lover and his Beloved, and this was long ago, on an island somewhere in the ocean five thousand years ago…Such is Love, the Mystic flower of the Soul. This is the Centre, the Self. Nobody understands what I mean…only a poet could begin to understand.'

 Individuation is about the integration of the timeless background of the world and our lives, which is our common legacy. Orpheus, who was a shaman before he became the eponymous poet, lingers on the threshold between the time bound world and this timeless background."

T.S. Eliot, We shall not cease from exploration

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

T.S. Eliot "Little Gidding"

Rumi I, You, He, She, We

one can understand well what is meant though-the terminology
is difficult, animal souls are pure (translation???)

Love means, Rumi

Love means
to reach for the sky
and with every breath
to tear a hundred veils.
Love means
to step away from the ego,
to open the eyes
of inner vision
and not to take this world
so seriously.
