The strangest thing that David took me to see in China, was here in Beijing @ Purple Bamboo Park. “What’s going on here”? Master will tell you that he just used “Qi” to throw his students. “But, that goes against everything that we know and understand in Western science… it defies physical laws”>>>

Often the great Sufi poets lived during times of religious fundamentalism. The authorities censored them, because they openly taught that man could have a direct contact with God. As a result poets such as Hafiz developed an increasing array of metaphors and synonyms to describe God. Frequently we come across references such as Friend, Beloved, Father, Mother, the Wine seller, the Problem giver, and the Problem solver. This ambiguity in describing God served a dual purpose. Firstly it made it difficult for his poetry to be censored for its unorthodox mystical ideas. It also illustrates the inherent difficulty a poet has in describing the nature of God. The infinite is beyond all name and form, how can the poet describe that which is beyond words?

∞ We that with like hearts love, we lovers twain, New wedded in the village by thy fane,/ Lady of all chaste love, to thee it is / We bring these ∞amaranths, these white lilies/ A sign, and sacrifice; may Love, we pray/ Like amaranthine flowers, feel no decay;/ Like these cool lilies may our loves remain,/ Perfect and pure, and know not any stain;/ And be our hearts, from this thy holy hour,/ Bound each to each, like flower to wedded flower. (Joachim du Bellay, from “A Vow To Heavenly Venus,” ca. 1500.){{{un film de sonny coates}}}}
