Ljóđ Inkans


Í vor kom út bókin Ljóđ Inkans eftir síđasta keisara Inkanna, Atahuallpa.
Menningarsjóđur Lífspekifélagsins hafđi umsjón međ útgáfunni. Ljóđ ţessi höfđu veriđ geymd í gullskreyttu skríni í 400 ár norđarlega í Argentínu. Ţau eru upphaflega rituđ á quechua, máli Inkanna. Til ađstođar viđ ţýđingu ljóđanna yfir á spćnsku, Poemas de Atahuallpa, var höfđinginn Tupac Rimachi. Mörgum árum síđar ţýddi danskur skólastjóri ljóđin yfir á dönsku. Er hann síđan gaf Úlfi Ragnarssyni, lćkni, ljóđin í jólagjöf 1983 varđ Úlfur svo hrifinn af ţeim ađ hann réđst ekki ađeins í ađ ţýđa ţau, heldur málađi einnig einstaklega fagrar vatnslitamyndir innblásnar af sumum ljóđanna. Ljóđ ţessi eru einstök ađ frumleika og allri gerđ og ađeins til á máli Inkanna, spćnsku, dönsku og íslensku. Hönnun myndanna var í höndum Godds (Guđmundar Odds Magnússonar). Bókin verđur til sölu í Bókaţjónustu félagsins.


Krishnamurti on what meditation is

 

[J. Krishnamurti had the following dialogue with students at one of his schools in India.]

[Krishnamurti:] Do you know anything about meditation?

Student: No, Sir.

Krishnamurti: But the older people do not know either. They sit in a corner, close their eyes and concentrate, like school boys trying to concentrate on a book. That is not meditation. Meditation is something extraordinary, if you know how to do it. I am going to talk a little about it. First of all, sit very quietly; do not force yourself to sit quietly, but sit or lie down quietly without force of any kind. Do you understand? Then watch your thinking. Watch what you are thinking about. You find you are thinking about your shoes, your saris, what you are going to say, the bird outside to which you listen; follow such thoughts and enquire why each thought arises.

Do not try to change your thinking. See why certain thoughts arise in your mind so that you begin to understand the meaning of every thought and feeling without any enforcement. And when a thought arises, do not condemn it, do not say it is right, it is wrong, it is good, it is bad. Just watch it, so that you begin to have a perception, a consciousness which is active in seeing every kind of thought, every kind of feeling. You will know every hidden secret thought, every hidden motive, every feeling, without distortion, without saying it is right, wrong, good or bad. When you look, when you go into thought very very deeply, your mind becomes extraordinarily subtle, alive. No part of the mind is asleep. The mind is completely awake.

That is merely the foundation. Then your mind is very quiet. Your whole being becomes very still. Then go through that stillness, deeper, further – that whole process is meditation. Meditation is not to sit in a corner repeating a lot of words; or to think of a picture and go into some wild, ecstatic imaginings.

To understand the whole process of your thinking and feeling is to be free from all thought, to be free from all feeling so that your mind, your whole being becomes very quite. And that is also part of life and with that quietness, you can look at the tree, you can look at people, you can look at the sky and the stars. That is the beauty of life.

Ćđsti Drúidi heimsins kemur í heimsókn og flytur erindi um sín frćđi

 

Ţann 1. september kl. 20 verđur einstakur fyrirlestur í húsi Lífspekifélagsins.

Ćđsti Drúidi heimsins kemur í heimsókn og flytur erindi um sín frćđi. Hann heitir Philip Carr-Gomm.

Erindiđ er flutt á ensku og nefnist:

'Singer, Shaman, Sage: The Magic & Mystery Of Druidry'.

The ways of the Druids are seeing an unprecedented revival around the world. Why is this? The image of an ancient Druid suggests the archetypal wise person – a forest sage steeped in knowledge of the Old Ways. Even the etymology of the word Druid points to wisdom – with the first syllable – Dru – coming from the Proto-Indo-European root meaning tree, especially the oak, and the Id syllable coming from the term ‘wid’, meaning to know or to see, from which we derive the word wisdom. So the idea of wisdom is embedded in the very word and in the image we hold of the druid. Druidry is a spiritual way and practice that speaks to three of our greatest yearnings: to be fully creative in our lives, to commune deeply with the world of Nature, and to gain access to a source of profound wisdom.

Each of these yearnings comes from a different aspect of the Soul, and we can personify these as the Singer, the Shaman and the Sage - three streams that flow into one pool. In Druidry, Bardic teachings help to nurture the singer, the artist or storyteller within us – the creative self. Within the Bardic stream, wisdom is cultivated through poetry and story. And contemporary Druids, drawing on the insights of Psychology, add to their appreciation of story in general, and the old myths in particular, an understanding of the value of coming to know the story of their own lives and of those around them.

Ovate teachings help to foster the shaman, the lover of Nature, the healer within us. Within the Ovate stream – where Divination and healing is studied, wisdom is found within Nature Herself, and through bodies of lore, folklore, that have been passed down to us today: stone-lore, star-, animal-, bird-, plant-, tree-, herb-, weather-, seasonal-lore.

Within the Druid stream, wisdom is found in the study of the Ethics & Philosophy of Druidry, and in its application in Rites of Passage, Ritual and Initiation.The Druid teachings help to develop our inner wisdom – the sage who dwells within each of us.

Druid ideas and practices can be of real value to someone living in the modern world. Druidry is is an approach that is designed to help us feel grounded and rooted in our depths. It is light on dogma and philosophy and heavy on soil, rain, fire and wind; Druidry seeks not to command or dominate the elements, but to venerate and learn from these forces which we have threatened so severely.

The revival of interest in Druidry points to the growing awareness of the necessity to combine our spirituality with a reverence and care for the earth. It is undeniable that there is a renaissance of interest in these natural religions throughout the world. This imbalance has resulted in a disturbed relationship to the planet herself, and the renaissance can be seen as the manifestation of human and divine concern that this relationship be made harmonious for the health and well-being of the earth and all life upon it. Rather than seeing the revival of interest in earth religions as regressive – harking back to primitive times – the upsurge of interest demonstrates quite the opposite trend – one of progression, in which we meet the old wisdom at a new turn of the spiral, and see that we need its sense of the sacredness of all life if we are to survive as a species and planet.
