Upanishad XXXIV - Shiva is Shakti / शिव शक्ति हैं

Shiva is Shakti, and Shakti is Shiva.

Bodies die, but we do not.

The universe is multidimensional.

There is only Consciousness.


Nagna says:

Truth is not always popular.


शिव शक्ति हैं, और शक्ति शिव हैं।

शरीर मरते हैं, लेकिन हम मरते नहीं हैं।

ब्रह्मांड बहुआयामी है।

केवल चेतना है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

सत्य हमेशा लोकप्रिय नहीं होता है।

Upanishad XXXII - Driven by the Breath / सांस से धक्का

Driven by the breath,

the serpent must rise

from the valley of the bulb

to twelve fingers above

the top of the head.


Nagna says:

KuNDalinI will awaken

and become your housemate.


सांस से धक्का,

सर्प उठना चाहिए

बल्ब की घाटी से

ऊपर बारह उंगलियों के लिए

सिर के ऊपर।


नग्न कहते हैं:

कुंडलिनी जगा होगा

और अपनी गृहिणी बनो।

Visions II - Gratias Ágere / To Give Thanks

Gratias agamus.

Dignum et justum est.

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, semper et ubíque, gratias ágere.


Let us give thanks.

It is right and just.

Truly it is right and just, fitting and wholesome, always and everywhere, to give thanks.


[This is a non-theistic version of the words of the Latin Mass.]

Visions I - The Old Man

An old man,

with gray hair and beard,

is giving me nourishment,

sustenance,

and keys,

from the other side.

He hands these things to me

through the veil,

with his right hand.

In his left hand he holds a staff.

I do not know his name,

but he knows me.

"He" is not his body;

he is the Consciousness/Spirit

that animates it.
