Would that include my interviews with Lujan?
– One very heavy book.
Hi Rick.
While it addresses mostly your line of questioning, yes. I would though expect those interviews to mean more to readers who have also read Lujan’s books, since his replies reference the context he described in his works.
Having been engaged in a task I set myself of translating Lujan’s last two books over the last two years, it afforded me a whole new perspective. The multiple layers of communication, the subtle points highlighted by the sometimes dense sentences, visual metaphors and often odd approach to sentence structure; all conspire to communicate at a level that can be hell to the ‘left-brain’, but music to another part of me that already knows. This journey also taught me a lot about the traps of semantics and the mind- especially the illusion that mind can control and comprehend things that are meant to be experienced and therefor known in stead. Importantly, Lujan’s books highlight how transformative words can be when spoken from a clear heart. Anyone up for the not-doing of reading… These books are perfect.
“IF YOU’RE NOT IN THE BREATH, THEN YOU ARE IN THE MIND”
This message is hung on my kitchen wall, as a reminder. I used to do lots of deep breathing but after reading Whisperings of the Dragon I realized the importance of being constantly in the silent breath. Indeed silence is our natural state.
Yes, after a very rough year, its time to jump in again a little more.
“Whisperings of the Dragon” is definetely on my wishlist….and Shadows in the Twillight is a true “Magical Matus”….;)
Poetic. Excellent.
I’m glad the books have helped you to such a degree.
