The LOGOS

TODAY,    
08.08.2012 is (for the record) exactly 4 years,
since the first publication of these
"Words of Emotion"
(extract see complete below)
"CHANGE YOUR MIND
Challenge your head.

Don’t ache your head,
Don't break your heart,
If you still, feel the heat,
If you indeed hear the beat."
*
"Tiny and mighty!

Aren’t  you happy!?
TAKE A BREAK! And scream, 
You need a therapy!"
*
GIVEN, that we are All in A SYSTEM, ALL the Phenomena have crossed our minds during the last 4 years; and have culminated to our surprise in the extra-ordinary "Tiny EVENT”;  with an ensuing outcome of an incapacitated "Mighty HEAD" this year! 
The Challenge; The Head; The Break; The scream; The Therapy, in whatever context and combinational interrelations and reflections, initiating a deliberation, for social scientists with insights in the research field of psychiatry, to look more into the "controversial" works of the Swiss Psychiatrist  Carl Jung      on  the meaning of "Synchronisity".
*
Be It what it WILL BE;
-
"Change Your Mind" remains  
An Essential Logos to achieve  
Peace for the Social Plane!
-
And in the meantime a wonderful  book of research along this path has, among others,  particularly enriched  my intuition, to suggest that this reflection is on the right track!!

And apparently there happens to be an interesting sort of Wiki on "How to Change Your Mind" (accidentally I just came across it while surfing today)!

The Paradigm for Africa and Ethiopia? 

*********************************************

Words of Emotion*



"Make it as simple as possible, but not less  simple" (Einstein)




"Oh," said the mouse, "the world is becoming tighter with each passing day. First, it was so wide that I was afraid.  I ran and ran on and was happy to finally find a wall in a distance. Left and right in the distance I saw the walls, but these long walls rush so quickly to each other that I already find myself in the last room, and there at an angle, is the trap in which I run."-
" You only have to change the direction, „said the cat and ate the rat. (Kafka fable…My translation; 1/)



OH! POOR AFRICA?

Lacks the State,
The “Stick and the Stock”?
The Paradigm,

The Shift and The Dead Ends
Oh! Tiny and Mighty!
Would you Change your mind?

1.    Social  
Change your mind
Challenge your head.
Don’t ache your head,
Don't break your heart,
If you still, feel the heat,
If you indeed hear the beat.
...
Tiny and mighty!

Aren’t  you happy!?TAKE A BREAK!
And scream, 
You need a therapy!
...

Challenge your head,
You will get your bread.
Change your mind,
You will get your state,
You are now at stake.
If you have in mind,

The dead end and the rat
In the KAFKA FABLE (1),
The wall and the cat...

The cat, ... is just a cat
Not a friend not a rat.
It is good for the rat
Not to follow suite,

Not to consult the cat.
***Don’t ache your head,

Don't pose like a cat,
You can live like a rat,
If you are not a cat!

If you are not a rat, nor a cat,
Make a leap, take a ride,
You may not need a state,
Nor a shift, ...not a shit or a sheet!

Change your mind,
Challenge your head,
Mold your set.

Build your head,
Right and left, left and right
Build a mind, make a set;
The Dead Ends are your Heads
In your Heads,
THE DEAD ENDS ARE THE HEADS.
Not the STATE, nor the RENTS.
Soft is, ... the conflict,
The state and private.
Hard are the rocks,
Concrete, the cement, the matter,
The grey in your heads,
Need the shift.


2.    The  Human 

Change your mind
Challenge your head.
Don’t ache your head,
Don't break your heart,
If you still, feel the heat,
If you indeed hear the beat.
...
Tiny and mighty!

Aren’t you happy!?
TAKE A BREAK! And scream,You need a therapy!
...

Challenge your head,
You will get your bread.
Change your mind,
You will get your state,
You are now at stake.
***
You may change,

The waters in the seas
A thousand, and a hundred times.
Never could a rock,
And a dead fish swim.The Shift, the Rift,...the Move,
And the PEACE you lack,
It's in your MIND.
Not the STATE,
The “Stick or the Stock”

YOU! You have to “develop”!
Make your mind,

Mold your set;
Build your head,
Right and left, left and right
Make a set.
Step ahead or backward
Ask the dead or the old,
The Antic, the Polis,
Your meta - the Physics,
Paradigm,
The maxim,
Is as old,... as Mankind.
And the DEAD ENDS,
Are your heads.
Africa, has a LOT,
Of your sort and your lots.
It is You, the DEAD ENDS,
THE DEAD HEADS.
Africa needs, not a shiftIn Para-DIGM,Is a shift and shuffle of your kinds,
That it lacks.For its peace, for its fate,
Rich in bread.
Healthy child, best mind...
Call it, if you like, Demo-Cracy,
But Attention! Demagogy,
 “Z” and “c”, Philology.
At times and History,
Demo-craCy goes craZy…

At such moments,
Stop TIME,
Go and Go ahead,

To the SOURCE....the best b-reed,
The Origin, the  best c-reed.


Change your mind
Challenge your head.Don’t hesitate,
Break your head,
Break your heart
You would have IT,
It is THE HEAT
A MOMENT  bit,
universal, AFRICAN BEAT.
3.   Cultural  

Change your mind
Challenge your head.

Don’t ache your head,
Don't break your heart,
If you still, feel the heat,
If you indeed hear the beat.
...
Tiny and mighty!

You aren’t happy!
TAKE A BREAK! And scream,
You need a therapy!
***

ENOUGH is Enough!
Call the spade by the name!
Let the cat be a cat!

Let the rat be a rat!
For a sufficient LIFE;
Like the Yin and Yang
In the Eastern Wisdom,
Like the Son and Father
In the Christian Faith,
Like the Star and the Moon,
In the Sufi mystics,
In the Muslim Belief.
If you are,

Neither Cat nor a Rat!
Make a leap take a ride!
Mold your lot, blend your set!
Change your mind!
Change your head!
Feel the Spirit!

Lest, You are NONE!


Or ‘Orbis’ and A MAN!
Of the laity....the clergy.
The Light, the sound or the beat.
It’s the moment TO BE,
At NO TIME, at a Point.
The Para- the Plasma-

The Laicus’ -COMMON SENSE.
THE SPACE, The quantum and,
The Para-SIGHT.
4.    Material   

Tiny and mighty,
You're not happy.

TAKE A BREAK! And scream,
You need a therapy!
***Sing…a Song….and
 scream…Hi Hi Loneliness!!!

Bye Bye Happiness!!!
So far, the lay,

It's Sell and lie, Lie and “Buy”
No SHIFT no HEAD,
*
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!!

Poor Africa! Cry and Die!
You never know.....
May be......FLY
Maya ... F......L.......Y.....!? (2)
High,  Higher and High.
*

And "ETHIOPIA" !!? 
Do You still sing and cry…….only cry?
…….08.08.08..… “WAAAAAAAI”  !
And ….AI !?
Always  I AI …
Nothing but WAI….and …. I.
5.   Spiritual   

Tiny and mighty!
TAKE A BREAK! And then scream,

You need a therapy!
The Greed or the Head,
Lacks the Remedy;
FROM THE ALMIGHTY?
OH NO! Tiny and Mighty!!
COME ON Move,
To the GOLDEN MEAN.
To Harmony,
To the cosmic,
The DIVINE Proportion,
THERE,
Is always sufficient room!
6.    The Absolute 
Change your mind,
Challenge your head;
“The TEACHER comes, only
When the Student is ready!” (3)
For a discourse – in common sense
Philosophy, the Therapy.
From the Laicus….to the Expert


Notes:
This piece, *Words of emotion” is a tiny expression of rage, in memory of the classical “Berekete Mergem”, which gave birth to “a generation of emotion”, in vain sacrificed and the African-Ethiopian lot still without its bread and appropriate head. It is conceived in the tradition of “Semina Work”.

The Kafka fable in the original German:

 " »Ach«, sagte die Maus, »die Welt wird enger mit jedem Tag. Zuerst war sie so breit, dass ich Angst hatte, ich lief weiter und war glücklich, dass ich endlich rechts und links in der Ferne Mauern sah, aber diese langen Mauern eilen so schnell aufeinander zu, dass ich schon im letzten Zimmer bin, und dort im Winkel steht die Falle, in die ich laufe.« – »Du musst nur die Laufrichtung ändern«, sagte die Katze und fraß sie."

1)       The MAYA Calendar, which is referred to end on the 21. 12. 2012 is considered by astronomers and mystics to be a special date, when an extra ordinary celestial constellation would take place. “On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years.” http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-03-27-maya-2012_n.htm
2)       “The Teacher comes only when the student is ready”; interpreted from… A Buddhist Proverb: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. ... meaning that “Peace and change come from within. Do not seek it without.”

"When the idea formed of Divinity is the fruit of true spiritual culture, its intimate re-action on the inner perfection is at once beneficial and beautiful. All things assume a new form and meaning in our eyes when regarded as the creatures of forecasting design, and not the capricious handiwork of unreasoning chance. The ideas of wisdom order, and adaptative forethought,—ideas so necessary to the conduct of our own actions, and even to the culture of the intellect,—strike deeper root into our susceptible nature, when we discover them everywhere around us. The finite becomes, as it were, infinite; the perishable, enduring; the fleeting, stable; the complex, simple,—when we contemplate one great regulating Cause on the summit of things, and regard what is spiritual as endlessly enduring. Our search after truth, our striving after perfection, gain greater certainty and consistency when we can believe in the existence of a Being who is at once the source of all truth, and the sum of all perfection. The soul becomes less painfully sensible of the chances and changes of fortune, when it learns how to connect hope and confidence with such calamities. The feeling of receiving everything we possess from the hand of love, tends no less to exalt our moral excellence and enhance our happiness. Through a constant sense of gratitude for enjoyment—through clinging with fond trustfulness to the object towards which it yearns, the soul is drawn out of itself, nor always broods in jealous isolation over its own sensations, its own plans, hopes, and fears. Should it lose the exalting feeling of owing everything to itself, it still enjoys the rapture of living in the love of another,—a feeling in which its own perfection is united with the perfection of that other being. It becomes disposed to be to others what others are to it; it would not that they too should receive nothing but from themselves, in the same way that it receives nothing from others."
