My friend Yakov Leib HaKohain (poet L. G. Corey) passed away on Oct. 16, 2017 (26 Tishrei 5778). Today, Oct. 14, 2020 (26 Tishrei 5781) is his yarzeit. If you are one of Yakov's friends, or even if you aren't, please keep him in your thoughts today.
He is a channel for the other side,
and a mystery to this side.
Nagna says:
He is also a mystery to himself.
वह दूसरे पक्ष के लिए एक चैनल है,
और इस तरफ एक रहस्य।
नग्न कहते हैं:
वह खुद के लिए भी एक रहस्य है।

Clues are scattered in many places;
when we put them together, we see the truth.
Nagna says:
The truth is that we don't die.
कई स्थानों पर सुराग बिखरे हुए हैं;
जब हम उन्हें एक साथ रखते हैं, तो हम सच्चाई को देखते हैं।
नग्न कहते हैं:
सच्चाई यह है कि हम मरते नहीं हैं।

Cead mile failte! As I write this, we are passing the milestone of 95,000 visits to this poetry/writing/photography blog.
As most of you know, I am the naked poet (or a naked poet--hopefully there are others), but I hope that my habitual, everyday nudity is not the reason for the blog's popularity (not likely, in my opinion, since I'm 78 years old).
Expression begins with freedom, and I'm trying to be as free as I can. I recommend it to everyone, but I happen to be in the position of living in an area where most of the time the climate doesn't require clothes. We are also in the fortunate position of having our own woods on the property, and the lovely trees make a perfect privacy screen.
Those 95,000 visits have come from over a hundred countries. Below is a graphic that shows the principal sources of visits over the last twenty-four hours.
In addition to the countries named in the above list, we have recently received multiple visits from Cambodia, India, Nigeria, Kosovo, Lebanon, two small Persian Gulf countries, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Australia, Netherlands, Taiwan, Russia, South Africa, and many other countries.
I am not able to explain this diversity of appeal, but I do find it very gratifying,
My interests, too, are quite varied, and the focus of the blog changes somewhat as my interests change. Currently, my mind is occupied with Advaita Vedanta and mediumship. I feel that the best way to understand the world is to understand myself, and I am trying to do that.
The abovementioned effort has resulted in the Upanishad poem-series, which currently comprises 45 parts. I am hoping that it will reach 108 parts, but that is yet to be seen.
Other interests, possibly including some of your favorites, have been temporarily placed on the back burner, but in all probability they will return.
As usual, I would like to thank you all for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Stay safe, and be well.

The third eye opens the astral plane,
revealing discarnate entities.
Nagna says:
He is trying to interpret their symbols,
and understand their words.
तीसरी आँख सूक्ष्म तल को खोलता है,
आत्मा संस्थाओं का खुलासा।
नग्न कहते हैं:
वह उनके प्रतीकों की व्याख्या करने और उनके शब्दों को समझने की कोशिश कर रहा है।

When we see Divinity in others,
love is deepened at all levels.
Nagna says:
We are Divinity,
from the base to sahasrara.
जब हम दूसरों में दिव्यता देखते हैं,
प्यार सभी स्तरों पर गहरा होता है।
नग्न कहते हैं:
हम दिव्यता हैं,
आधार से सहस्रार तक।

He entered this world with a long history.
He will leave it with a long future.
Nagna says:
There is only the now,
but it is too big for us to see it.
उन्होंने एक लंबे इतिहास के साथ इस दुनिया में प्रवेश किया।
वह इसे लंबे भविष्य के साथ छोड़ देगा।
नग्न कहते हैं:
केवल अब मौजूद है,
लेकिन हमारे लिए इसे देखना बहुत बड़ा है।
