"Leaving the Noise Behind"
5:41am
And this was the day of my coming-into-being, a day as any other, caught in the middle between stop and go, waiting for the green light from my soul.
I could not hear her voice
Leaving the noise behind,
Then, and only then - JAL, 5-27-11 |

"A 'Field of Transformations'"
7:50am
From "Rebel in the Soul", translation and commentary by Bika Reed: Her translation of the last words of the Berlin Papyrus 3024 is "for above is exalted by below".
Her commentary on this: "The Abode is a living structure. The soul says, "Then united we shall form the Abode" and adds when its (the Abode's) HATY (forepart - above) is placed upon its PEH (hindpart - below)" HATY and PEH are the two parts of the mythical Lion. The HATY, its forepart, is the hieroglyph standing for the spiritual heart, i.e. orientation: upper regions of our being including the head. The PEH is the hieroglyph for the hindparts which stand for power, passion, rebellion, motion and achievement. Like a running lion, evolution is powered by the PEH and directed by HATY, its forepart. The living Abode, in which the two parts are reunited evokes the sphinx. "It was difficult to transmit all of those concepts in a literal translation of the sentence 'When its HATY is placed upon its PEH'. I have chosen therefore 'The Above is exalted by the Below." (page 128)
