S- Source & I- Intelligence + D- Destiny & E- Energy


41

THE SOURCE provides Peace and Perfection in abundance, since it is
necessarily full of them in
THAT BEYOND,
The Inconceivable and The Infallible Beyond.

These are however objectives to be cultivated and attained through
Science and History; for the Human Agency with its higher Destiny to
join the Source. The Human joins the symphony of the four with
Culture and Faith as the objectives at hand and at home to be
perfected in due course of Spacetime and developing Culture


42

The Social Plane
Peace is circumscribed by the state, community and family as the
final structural state of affairs for the human.


The Social Plane
The interaction of the state, community and family is the march of
history which brings about peace in the heavenly structure.


43

The Human & The Absolute Planes

Heaven is the first variable of the center, the nucleus of creativity,
stretching through strings of spiritual deliverance, the mirror of
human hope. Heaven is an abstraction of a human peaceful social
space, where knowledge and insight, wisdom and freedom prevail.
-A sublime free social space of spiritual nature.
Spiritual Deliverance

Human Hope

Faith,
objective of

The Spiritual
plane

Culture,

The Cultural
Plane
Perfection,
objective of

The Material
Plane
Peace,

The Social
Plane
Heaven Knowledge
Wisdom Feedom

44

The Material Plane
The Perfection of creativity, which ends up in Wealth, is how the
source manifests itself in the human. Through the process of science;
mankind, nature and the universe become objects of investigation to
come to the final center of knowledge. - Knowledge the second variable
of the nucleus of creativity.



The Material Plane

45

The Cultural Plane
Culture is the fundament of peaceful intercommunication of the
human by means of rules and laws of the state, ethics of the
community and love pertaining to the family. Through the
development of human culture, freedom, the third variable of the
center would be achieved.

The Cultural Plane

46

The Spiritual Plane
Faith is the initiator of creativity, in tandem with the wealth of
perfection. Faith, religion and conscience interact in a heavenly space
to determine the objective of faith for the human, which makes
wisdom, the fourth variable of the nucleus, the center of creativity.

The Spiritual Plane

47

The Human with hope as the principle of life, the fifth variable of the
center, has a destiny envisaged by the source, the origin of life.
There is nothing in life which cannot be subsumed in the
Harmony Model.
In short:
I. Peace as the edge to be achieved, or Heaven to be envisaged at the
Center; the state, community and family make the structural being of
the social plane.
II. Culture as the edge to be cultivated and developed, or Freedom to
be achieved at the Center; rule of laws, ethics and love define the
subjective aspects of the cultural plane. -The social and the cultural
planes providing intelligence as the primary Axis and attractor of
meaning to the human hemisphere.
III. Wealth, the Perfection of creativity as the edge to be achieved, or
Knowledge to be perfected at the Center; the universe, nature and
mankind make the fundamental substance of the material plane.
IV. Faith as the edge of the human objective or Wisdom to be
contemplatively achieved at the Center; faith, religion and conscience
of the human circumscribe the conscious magnitude of the spiritual
plane. -The material and the spiritual planes encorporate energy as
the fundamental attractor of meaning and the primary axis of the
godly hemisphere.
V. The fifth, the transcendental plane of the human working on its
Destiny with Hope (LIGHT) as the principle of life, to touch the source
synthetically interacts at all levels with all the four planes. - The
human in the social, the material, the cultural and the spiritual
planes.
VI. The sixth, the transcendental plane of the absolute, GOD, the Source
with the ultimate principle of Deliverance to save the human,
interacts at all levels with all the five planes through the agency of the
human plane. The absolute plane under mutational interrelation
with the human plane.
THAT BEYOND!

Venture, comrades, I implore you.
On the fare I set before you,
You will like it more to-morrow,
Better still the following day :
If yet more you're then requiring,
Old success I'll find inspiring,
And fresh courage thence will borrow
Novel dainties to display.

And new desires come thronging :

Hungry, by crooked ways.
To eat the food I ate before.

The Bridge
I was stiff and cold, I was a bridge, I lay over a ravine. My toes on one side, my fingers clutching the
other, I had clamped myself fast into the crumbling clay. The tails of my coat fluttered at my sides. Far
below brawled the icy trout stream. No tourist strayed to this impassable height, the bridge was not
yet traced on any map. So I lay and waited; I could only wait. Without falling, no bridge, once
spanned, can cease to be a bridge.It was toward evening one day- was it the first, was it the
thousandth? I cannot tell- my thoughts were always in confusion and perpetually moving in a circle. It
was toward evening in summer, the roar of the stream had grown deeper, when I heard the sound of a
human step! To me, to me. Straighten yourself, bridge, make ready, railless beams, to hold up the
passenger entrusted to you. If his steps are uncertain, steady them unobtrusively, but if he stumbles
show what you are made of and like a mountain god hurl him across to land.
He came, he tapped me with the iron point of his stick, then he lifted my coattails with it and put them
in order upon me. He plunged the point of his stick into my bushy hair and let it lie there for a long
time, forgetting me no doubt while he wildly gazed around him. But then I was just following him
in thought over mountain and valley he jumped with both feet on the middle of my body. I
shuddered with wild pain, not
knowing what was happening. Who was it? A child? A dream? A wayfarer? A suicide? A tempter? A
destroyer? And I turned so as to see him. A bridge to turn around! I had not yet turned quiet around
when I already began to fall, I fell and in a moment I was torn and transpierced by the sharp rocks
which had always gazed up at me so peacefully from the rushing water.

HARMONY
MODEL
An Intuition on Common Sense
128

The Substance of the mental being is still, so still,
da nothing disturbs it. If thoughts or activities come
they do not rise at all out of the mind, but they come
from outside and cross the mind as a flight of birds
crosses the sky in a windless air. It passes, disturbs
nothing, leaving no trace. Even if a thousand images
or the most violent events pass across it, the calm
stillness remains as if the very texture of the mind
were a substance of eternal and indestructible peace.
A mind that has achieved this calmness can begin to
act, even intensely and powerfully, but it will keep its
fundamental stillness originating nothing from
itself but receiving from Above and giving it a mental
form without adding anything of its own, calmly,
dispassionately, though with the Joy of Truth and
the happy power and light of its passage.
Sri Aurobindo..

May Science make it to Perfection

May Culture be pure and Human
Would History cease to be?
For new Culture, Peace and free,
Life is Faith and Faith in Life
For Infinity Eternity,

JOY! is the final Act!
Through high Hope -Deliverance,
It is real; for the Human to feel the Source.

Prologue

When I cast a glance in every direction of heaven during a clear night of a nice spring ...;
over my head, beyond the horizon, beyond the moon across the bright Venus and into the
stars beyond the dark sky, I cant suppress my astonishment, my respect and veneration for
the majestic substance underlying all these. The process of simple and free contemplation
observing this wonder ends up with some sort of bliss and gratification that I belong to all
this substance as a conscious part of the whole. This was the feeling, with which I was
always overwhelmed, one spring after another, while I was spending my holidays in the
island of Crete- Greece, which replaced for a decade the roots of my ancestors; Ethiopia,
where I was denied the pleasure to inhale its ether or set a foot on. Crete was my strange
area, my new space, where I was wandering around up and down hill to shed some tears for
my unconscious past; where I was troubled with sorting out my bewildered present; where,
after the ideology and the purpose of life I used to have, had shattered, I was left alone by
kin and friend, deep in the darkness of my unknown future, with nothing spiritual,
confronted by fate to search for my truth, wondering why and for what ultimate purpose my
life has taken the insane path it chose.

Every time I was attracted during my holidays to Crete Greece, I was sharing my passion
with the dark sky above me, across the hill over the village of Paradiso with its twinkling
stars and their twins in the Mediterranean See, to understand, what is behind all this. A
mysterious area, as I always felt during my sojourn, where the philosophy of humanity has
its cradles and the souls of the mighty philosophers are perhaps still observing us with their
accustomed tolerance, while we are still staggering and stuttering in search of our destiny.
Isnt it a miracle that all these bright stars, heavenly and celestial bodies dont move astray
and descend upon us; that the sun doesnt deny shining one day in the morning, that the
moon never misses its path and that they all dont sprinkle in various directions in bundles
of energy from beyond and threaten our beautiful nature. Everything hovering over me,
behind me and all over; they all seem to follow and obey their governing laws and take
their own course and enjoy their existence. Whence comes then the arrogance to believe
that we humans make the exception to entertain a notion, that we dont obey any laws of
which we are unaware? Why should we make the exception just because we are endowed
with the special and beautiful nature of mind, called Reason and Logic, which can have its
origin in nowhere other than all this substance around us? This is especially true at least for
the fortunate, who has a Faith of some sort or other, a source of somewhat and some sort
somewhere over there or over here. Whatever the origin, I am not interested in any of the
discussion on the so called Design or Not, which appears to be the philosophical-
religious agenda of the day in the west, which in my opinion is only a question of the
sovereign individual. My point here is only a belief that there must be a governing natural
law for our social reality similar to the non-conscious material reality of nature, on which
no one so far doubts and our science is today full of.

We are all endowed with the Mind, which manifests its high vitality with Reason and Logic,
when it urges for sublimty and feels itself at its height. History has several times presented
us with hundreds of intellects, who were at such extraordinary heights of intellectual
position to tear down the curtains of ignorance and show us the governing rules of nature.
This is the case, though; the human species may have lived before for a long period without
being aware of them. - Theories. Natural science is, as we know, full of these theories and
hard facts. I for myself was convinced during my early youth, that there is always a
governing Law behind life, until I was overwhelmed by the arrogance of my adulthood. This
132
was just God in a nutshell; God, uncritically accepted, without any qualification and without
any trouble of reason. God, delivered through the religion, to which I accidentally
belonged. However, especially when I began to understand calculus in my first college
years, with all other accompanying higher mathematical theories of series, infinity etc., I
begun to be more delighted about all those beautiful facts of higher mathematics, to
believe that everything may have a purpose and meaning and can be explained.. A purpose
and meaning, which I perhaps as a beginner cannot grasp all at a time but at any rate,
would try sometime to find the expertise of at least a section, which is part and parcel of
the whole.

That was the youth. The adult abandoned the faith of the youth to replace it with an
ideological dogma, until sometime the new politically motivated belief was also again
irrevocably shattered. Thereafter, through a process of liberating the mind the adult made
Reason and logic the guiding principle until again this gave room for new awareness-
Awareness, on the limits of Reason and Logic when they are devoid of Faith. Human life, if
it is not supported by faith becomes simple and meaningless vegetation without a purpose.
Not simply faith, but Faith so deep and so far as the dark heaven at night; as high and
sublime as the intellect of all intellects beyond space and all dimensions, which may grasp
a moment in eternity at a timeless and dimensionless moment.

Is there more than a vegetation of life? Yes, there is. I believe life has a purpose!

"The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really
exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in
their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the centre of true religion." - Albert Einstein


....At the centre of Faith.

1. This contribution is neither an outcome of extensive reading nor a copy of that author or book but a result of common sense, a
small portion of insight and a sincere search for truth( not research), after some shade of bitter life experience, abandoning all
dogmas, which caused a lot of sacrifice to the generation of my youth and messed up our intellectual development. To make a
hypothesis on Social Reality, as a point of departure, it takes and relies on the Relativity statement of Einstein, which is so far
incontestable for the Natural Reality. With all respect, I of course demand to be forgiven, if this interpretation for the purpose of
understanding Life happens to displace his great work of high research.. However the case, how naive this interpretation may
seem at face value, the faith behind it, is nevertheless so strong to believe that it is true. Not only Mystics, Time and Space may
evolve to render this Truth a scientific foundation. Until then it is my pleasure to live, not only with the Faith but also with
the knowledge, that the fundament of this truth is supported by the (non systematic) studies I made so far, in the field of
philosophy and faith, ever since the harmony model was constituted in this form.

2. The Star model- a graphical presentation, which can help visualising the relations and reflections of the Harmony, has just
fortunately happened to develop in due course of preparing this contribution. Like so many events in life, it is fortunate that,
there is always a treasure of accidence; the working plan of the Absolute. This model can elaborate the point more than
innumerable words.

3. The intention with this model is not to declare this or that new knowledge whatsoever, but only making the play as
transparent and as general as possible, so that any young man could see through it and opt for nothing but Life; Life is a jewel, a
gift of the Absolute, which compares and equals nothing, other than its own defence and purpose: HARMONY This fact is what
the survivors of the last generation, owe this generation. That means, in simple words, the game of the day should only be LIFE,
if possible why not with a High purpose of Harmony. But never neither sacrifice nor harassment, be it state or whatever.

The Purpose of Life-
Background-
After the philosophical and ideological foundation of my youth had shattered, I made it
my voluntary duty to make this model, the Harmony Model of Life, just for my own
purpose of understanding life; but now it happened to come to this light. To help or stir; for
a smile or sneer... I dont know... Whatever the case, I would not mind, since it has helped
me. Along this path I had to go through some spiritual, at the beginning bitter and at the
end an enlightening experience, which recently had its resolution in the freedom of my
mind, body and spirit.
After this state of existence, I had only to struggle with time to understand, relish and
quench my thirst for knowledge. Any knowledge, whose purpose is enlightening and
freeing the human species to celebrate its full liberty and perfection at the end, was
welcome. I am still at the beginning, though I feel the rest is more or less only a question of
time to bring the flower of knowledge to blossom. Along this state of mind, my object of
reference was Ethiopia - my roots- and my personal experience.
Fortunate and unfortunate, blunders and maturing, I had always in mind my involvement
and social engagement in a movement, which, irrespective of its healthy and noble cause
for social justice, obscured by a dogmatic communist ideology, was condemned to pass
through a historical period, which had swept a substantial section of the world and has
ended in our case with the sacrifice of very dear friends and thousands of the Ethiopian
youth with their dreams, intellect and energy.
Though the legacy of the last generation, which has consummated much of its energy
through celebrating traditions, contradictions, differences, partisanship and above all
violence, has still a firm grasp of the new one, now after almost three decades, I hope that
a new generation is coming up with a highly respectful energy for a change, development
and an aspiration to be part of the enlightened human movement and determine its own
destiny and live in peace. Moreover, hoping that all active political forces uproot and
denounce this legacy not only in principle but also in practice, they would step forward to
take hold of the right human spirit of today and commit themselves for the harmony of life
in the sense of resolving contradictions and differences, giving room for all shades of life to
live and work together for a higher purpose. Only beautiful rhetoric for peace and
democracy is not sufficient and should not however disguise the reality. In the recent past,
for those of us who had the fortune of having the least glimpse of genuine enlightenment
and are ready to learn from the dark experience, the reality counter to this spirit had made
us sick at heart, with the consequence of becoming passive, leaving it for history to take
care of its own course.

This was, instinctively my case until the end of 2004. During the last years, since I
stopped my active political engagement, in the course of my search (not research) for
truth, at moments when the spirit of the past and lost friends takes hold of me, I was
making some notes to generalize my thoughts to have a certain peace of mind and
understand life and beyond. I have been engaged with this sometimes at a highly extreme
138



8
and irrational psychological makeup, so that the best of it may precipitate as a result. I
was doing this not only with an emphasis of learning from my past but trying to
understand the state of stupidity or initial causes, which made me vulnerable to an
ideological dogma, which is capable of exploiting the healthy and noble cause of young
people, like I used to be.
Remaining true to my mathematics passion of my youth, these notes were always
accompanied by a sketch or model, which could generalize my understanding. In the
process of human maturing, there are extreme circumstances, be it intimate life, personal
or social experience or a combination of several factors in the surrounding nature, which
may bring about a new perception of life and a substantial change in the consciousness of
the subject. At the end of year 2004, I was lucky to have this experience, which
substantially changed my perspective and made an end to my earlier passive and personal
vegetative existence - This experience lead me to a process of enlightenment; engagement
for a process of enlightenment not only for personal knowledge and spiritual development
but also to share my strivings at least among friends, who have my esteem and respect.
The candle of enlightenment was of course burning since mankind has stepped into this
nature, but with full awareness, may be in my case, I have only discovered it now, when I
began to grasp the old people who were writing about it under the light of their candles,
long before we have the pleasure of a brighter light today; a brighter light, which
sometimes makes us blind. However, since the candle is somehow more beautiful,
nostalgic and full of art than our modern light, we still live and like our candle burning and
enjoy the silence of mind, which it renders our spirit, in moments of life, when the past, the
present and the future refuse to be different Exceptional moments of time before we may
perhaps experience the pleasure of that Beyond.

That Beyond, is here not the subject of my model at all. Let us leave this for the silence.
Important variables and factors indicating this are however, included in the Model, since
they simply belong to the consistency and correctness of the logic. The model , on which
I was taking my time, in moments of wanting to give Life a purpose, remembering all our
friends and the last generation of the Ethiopian youth, who left us believing in a purpose in
their unfortunate way is only this side of life - Life, which without any exceptions, the
coming generations of Ethiopia should enjoy. My intention with this model is also not to
declare this or that new knowledge whatsoever, but only making the play as transparent
and as general as possible, so that any young man could see through it and opt for nothing
but Life; Life, a jewel, a gift of the Absolute, which compares and equals nothing, other
than its own defense and purpose.
This fact is I think, what the survivors of the last generation, owe this generation. That
means, in simple words, the game of the day should only be LIFE, if possible why not with
a high purpose of Harmony. But never neither sacrifice nor harassment, be it state or
whatever.

After the experience mentioned above and a conscious process of enlightening myself;
beginning to work through the sweet jungle of knowledge and completing - my search for
truth, to present it in this form of model was not difficult. It is logically consistent and I
think all-round... Above-all, I myself believe it is true and correct. If others understand my
139



9
point, at least in its tenets, is enough. I am of course very aware of the fact that this is
only on a highly macro-level and can perhaps be dismissed, as a common place and
irrelevant by those who are busy threading the strings of our micro solutions. Nonetheless,
with all respect for the micro solutions, it is high time that, we should get hold of our
macro perspectives too. Moreover, at the micro levels there are abundant materials, works
and solutions en mass in the libraries of esteemed humanist forefathers of diverse culture,
which all have their rights of existence. It is true, (like the saying in German der Teufel
liegt im Detail/ ) the devil lies in the details - the details are difficult. However, all
schools of thoughts can come to terms with each other, allowing room for different
solutions with the ultimate purpose of grasping the macro purpose of life. Only the right of
existence and preferences for different micro solutions without claiming to be the absolute
truth makes life, worthy and beautiful with all its diversity and complexity.
Not any one philosopher ... or for that matter not even any contemporary spiritual leader
has a right on the absolute truth. Life is somehow like the puzzle, my son is playing, to
ultimately make one whole; just with the big difference, if you like, with no limits for its
complexity and diversity; but in order not to break down eternally, always ending in an
Harmony. I believe, this is for instance, the problem of the present political environment in
Ethiopia. All angels, to put all of them in a positive light, claim to be the sole savior
with the absolute truth... A very depressing moment vis vis the tremendous energy of the
people ready to make a great leap in our history.

The Hypothesis for Social Reality - Harmony as the Purpose of Life

The Purpose of Life for the modern man is to develop a condition of social harmony, where
mankind can eventually achieve its higher objectives of Peace, High Culture,
Perfection/Prosperity and a tolerant atmosphere of Faith in a human society, so that every
Man-Woman can appreciate and enjoy a Harmonious Life.
- HARMONY in all aspects of Life -Individual, social, cultural, natural or spiritual.
In every society at a definite time and space parallel to the natural reality of life, there is a
social reality which is working its way through history. This social reality is different for
every society and has to be perceived in its relation to the sum total of its intellectual
leadership, whatever is available at the disposal of that society. The point is only whether
one is aware of this reality and in a position to understand the moments and all the elements
of harmony, emanating from the natural and social reality. And these moments and
elements have to be appraised not in their differences but essentially in their unity and
complex interactions to be capable of giving the necessary intellectual leadership, in the
sense of all godly and human high virtues to keep life at its best quality for that society. If
the sum total of the intellectual section of that society i.e. the elite, are not conscious of
their social reality in all possible dimensions, like any position and moment of the harmony,
they are also simply objects liable to be moved in any direction as the harmony of life finds it
necessary. History has enough testimonies how the inherent necessity of harmony in nature
has retaliated either in the nature of Man (revolutions, wars...etc) or on its account (natural
catastrophes, destitution, hunger etc.) reminding Man to do something (science, culture...)
about its condition. In such circumstances and above all, if the elite of that social reality are
blindfolded by their sectional interests, irrespective of what they may think of themselves
entertaining an illusion to have a firm command of their conditions, they are degraded to the
level of the other objects of the social reality. They are not subjects with the intellectual
capacity to determine and move the history of their society in a harmonious manner. It is in
such situations, that societies are at their lowest levels of Collective Intelligence and would
drift away into different calamities, human catastrophes of history, be it in the form of wars,
internal conflicts, revolutions or human destitutions and destruction. This is the case until
the social reality re-establishes its harmony again, when the community at large would
somehow function by picking its intellectual subject and pave the way to legitimate a new
formation of the elite, eligible for that society at that context of history.
If this community does not maintain the harmony incorporating the high level of
philosophical and intellectual capacity necessary for that society, this can also last only
until the next phase of disharmony begins. This means to maintain the harmony, the elite
i.e. the political class (the total sum of the elite from culture, politics, science and faith)
should consistently give the necessary leadership taking into account all the necessary
144



14
elements of a harmonious life in the nation, a modern nation which can fulfil all the
requirements of stability and sovereignty and work for its people, in its sphere of influence
towards the high objectives of mankind.
What is the quintessence of life and what are the dimensions of this HARMONY?

The four planes of Life: - the social, cultural, material and the spiritual planes;
and on the transcendental level, the human and the absolute planes, have
altogether 8 dimensions.

1. The State & Laws
2. Community & Ethics
3. Family & Love
4. The Human Being & Hope

5. Mankind & Conscience
6. Nature & Religion
7. The Universe & Faith
8. God, the Absolute & Deliverance

These Dimensions have their corresponding Axes:

1. Humanity (h)
2. Intelligence/Consciousness (I)
3. Music (q)
4. Destiny (D)

5. Mass (m)
6. Energy (E)
7. Light (c)
8. The Source (S)

Analogous to the Einstein theory of relativity formulated for the Material & Spiritual plane,
The Godly Hemisphere by
E=mc
2
; Energy = Mass X (Speed of Light)
2
;

there may be a social reality which can be formulated for the Social & Cultural plane,
The Human Hemisphereby
I= hq
2
; Intelligence = Humanity X (Quality of Music)
2


See graphic presentation/ to visualize the relations)
145




Energy (E) corresponds to -Intelligence (I), which can be quantified either socially,
individually or both as a guiding principle.
Mass (m) corresponds to -humanity (h), quantified with all the humanitarian and high
cultural values universally accepted today.
Light/speed of light (c) has its analogy, in the quality of Music (q).

Music can be in its quantification very controversial and highly subjective, because of its
dependence on the diversity of the human culture and traditional background. As much as
love in the spirit and beauty in the eyes of the beholder lie, the feeling in the music is as
diversified as the human cultures of today. Nonetheless, the human cultural development is
today mature enough to feel the universal passion in the heavenly music of every culture.
Every culture may have its Mozart and we can have also our Yareds; but every Mozart in the
culture, can never travel through his inspirations without the feeling of that, that one
Mozart.
Whatever the Source, which ever the Order or no Order; since the Origin is the Source(S) of
Energy and Intelligence(I) or Intelligence and Energy(E), the Human Destiny (D) in Life can
only be Intelligence full of Energy and full of virtues. -Godly virtues, which a healthy human
mind and conscience can imagine in a Human Culture. This is the sense and in the sense of
the Source, which can be more and more than that in that Beyond. To sense that Beyond, we
are missing today this ashore, the Harmony of Life, where Intelligence and Energy; Destiny
and Source will touch to rejoice the Origin; .....the point and the moment where the
Michelangelos and all those jewels of creation may enjoy and wonder.
And who knows? the Origin until then the bliss of HOPE remains always. Hope,
universal Hope for the Human Species, through enlightenment of the day to the Harmony of
Life, when the Higher Objectives of Mankind would prevail.

Higher Objectives

The Purpose of Life is HARMONY within and between the four Planes of Life and
achieving the corresponding Higher Objectives of Mankind:-
Peace, Culture, Perfection and Faith.
Harmony is not a constant state of life where everything functions like a Perpetuum
Mobile. Moreover it is not a phenomenon like a building out of similar bricks, with every bit
of them fitting to each other and every section of life to be uniform to function like those
parades of masses of people on big celebrations of former communist countries or sport
opening ceremonies, to demonstrate in vain some sort of art. On the contrary, Man is by far
beyond this state of intellectual abyss and with reason and logic reigning on the human mind
today, the nature of harmony is the opposite, demanding diversity and even quantum
complexity as its prerequisite to be real in life.
And above all, harmony is a state of existence highly embedded in the factor of time, reaching
out for eternity and longing for infinity. Do we like to imagine where the limits of the
universe are? Is the Mind ready to contemplate on how abstract the quantum dimension is,
that holds us together or what the ultimate force behind all this matter, conscious or
unconscious, visible, dark or whatever else could be?.... For instance just a newly discovered
one galaxy, out of innumerable others, which is much bigger than our milky way, contains
billions of starscosmologists speculate even on the existence of a multiple of similar
universes like ours.etc. etc.. Can we easily accommodate such facts in our minds?
Therefore harmony is not a state of tranquility and rest but full of all the moments and
vectors of life conceived in space and time. Harmony is an art and state of equilibrium
constituting and allowing the existence of all its elements at a time always moving towards a
still higher purpose; which is again nothing other than harmony itself. With this in mind
harmony is thus necessarily embedded in a fundament of higher objectives, which could
always be formulated for the various sections of harmony in particular or higher objectives
inherently related to the four planes of life in general, which provide the big purpose of life its
concrete nature.
These higher objectives are: PEACE, High CULTURE, PERFECTION and FAITH

I. Peace for the social plane

The concrete purpose of any state form (e.g. Democracy), the community and the family can
be nothing less than peace. If we want to save ourselves from further calamities, wars, and all
sorts of inhuman social conflicts, as witnessed in our recent history (WWII etc.), this higher
objective can only be attained through an appropriate social justice and welfare. Otherwise,
we are driving towards what a wise Ethiopian may call E A (a conscious self
destruction) another form of destruction. Irrespective of the insanity of the actors, in the
name of enduring freedom or the promise of the heaven beyond, the cultural conflict,
which is hovering today over the world around the question of Atomic Energy and the dream
or the nightmare of a religious National superiority is not accidental and has its social
147



17
ground and may be the forerunner of the next round of human destruction, if the human
species fail to work for peace, social justice and welfare. There is no way that this round of
destruction could be less inhuman than the recent past, which was more or less ideologically
conditioned. How would it be like with an additional religious dimension?


II. Culture/ High culture for the cultural plane

Culture- High culture means human culture based on the high level of scientific progress
with the respect of all human cultural background as diversified as it is today, historically
handed over to the modern human from every section of the human species. Imagine a
virtuoso classical music, which would caress all your senses***, which would move your
loving heart, which will enhance the silence of your mind, which will inspire you with a
transcendental vision, thereby elevating your passion and respect for life and the human. This
can only be achieved by the genius, who is in a position to combine all variations of notes by
means of a high musical intellect one can imagine of. Or imagine a nice field and steppes of
flowers made up of only tulips in one geometrical form or the other, in comparison to that of a
big garden with different forms of planes full of all the varieties of flowers existing today in
nature - from the well known beautiful black red rose to a cactus flower etc. It does not require
a special intellect to tell which would be appealing and delighting to the healthy mind, be it
the artist or the layman. The same is true with Culture and High Culture, which can be a
panorama of all cultures from all shades and corners of the human species at a definite time,
without the slightest propensity of exclusiveness. Not exclusive but always working on the
elevation of the human intellect towards the essential substance of the human mind reason
and logic, supported by some form of faith; Faith which as discussed below, is itself one of
the higher objective of life too.

III. Perfection/prosperity for the material plane

Mankind as a species, not only represented by its highest intellects, but also even by that of
the common intellect, has the affinity for perfection and it lies in the nature of the human to
be curious and always in the search for a higher knowledge. This may be, as protagonists of
evolution may presume, due to the higher instincts of survival in the highly aggressive state
of nature. Survival of the fittest for the human however, can be more easily realized through
a higher intellect than through a tougher tentacle the muscles. This is true, though history
is also full of other facts on events which are contrary to reason and logic. In spite of all odds,
this did not however prevent the human species to progress towards perfection. Every period
of life has produced its jewels of humans, who have the courage and the intellect to develop
science as far as their ages could manage, so that we would enjoy its fruits. Enjoy and
develop all spheres of science, always critically appraised to go further towards perfection
initiating a new scope. Science is always an open phenomena and remains so, as long as the
human being manages to maintain its existence, and life; Life with a Purpose. In other words
the higher objective of the material plane is perfection with the strong support of science;
Science for the promotion of peace and human culture in prosperity.

148



18
IV. Faith for the spiritual plane

Faith is strictly speaking a domain of the sovereign individual; the individual free of any
constraints. It is not with a longing for the past or out of nostalgic sentiments, if it is
suggested here to change the well known aphorism of the last Emperor;
to E . Faith (not religion) belongs to the sphere of the individual. This is
true, if all the prerequisites of a high human culture with the necessary welfare and peace on
the basis of reason and logic were available. But this is not the reality, though, given the
scientific progress of today, combined with the available spiritual prerequisite, the abundant
wealth could have been sufficient enough to entertain such a culture.. The higher insight
hadnt unfortunately made its way through the mind of every individual, that the source of
pleasure does not lie in the accumulation of wealth but somewhere in the mind of the self for
the bliss of knowledge (cf. Aristotle) or somewhere between heaven and earth or like Kafka
would simply say over the surface and under the feet. But unfortunately we are still
staggering on an earth otherwise the beautiful earth where one feels to be happy touching
the barren sand of the moon and on the other side, a child on this same earth dies out of
destitution by every tick of the minute; and the former could sleep at night silently, without
being nagged by the slightest bit of conscience whatsoever. Because of all such hard facts, the
necessity of the state for the social reality of today is apparent, be it for the administration of
social and civil justice, and be it for the administration and distribution of wealth or
controlling and monitoring of the latter with the help of the magical market forces.
Likewise mankind is today full of all sorts of faiths and all kinds of religions. Whether or not
with a highly genuine spiritual purpose or as a style of life, these spiritual instances attract
and absorb the individuals or groups of mankind, since it lies in the nature of the human to be
spiritually affiliated to this or that sect. As long as they are not instances of human
manipulations, as unfortunately they indeed mostly are, these religions or faiths constituted
in all forms of institutions could play a healthy social role. They can fulfil their social
purposes in helping to elevate mankind, if not in the possible spiritual humbleness, at least, in
the sense of human ethics and in its moral awareness. If we are lucky and the intellectual
level of the society allows, this objective can more or less be fulfilled by the religions available
today. And thanks god, ample humanist intellectuals have pleaded for religion not to meddle
in the secular section of life. At least in the regions where enlightenment has succeeded, it is
established, that the civil state should be free of any religious affiliation or attachment, which
is the most optimal way of looking at it. The Faith posited here, as the high objective of the
harmony of life, is but of a higher abstraction. This is, on the one hand the sum total of the
philosophy of enlightenment and the belief that the human mind would be at its summit of
intellectual abstraction capacity and would touch all godly virtues, when it is free of any
institutions, dogmas and religions in their traditional interpretation of disciplining the life of
the human. Without the inherent insight emanating from oneself, liberation of the self would
not be materialized. This way of attitude can be manifested in all forms of intellectual
devotion or system of belief, be it philosophy or religion. On the other side, there is the
quintessence of the sum total of all institutionalized manifestations of religions, which could
serve as instances of ethics and moral awareness, which are of spiritual nature but also
secular enough to be in favor of life and in an indirect service of the state where they exist.
Whether, those from the traditional religion politically liberated intellectuals like it or not,
149



the form of faith whose moments stretch in the two directions mentioned is amply present in
the social reality of today. And it is the quintessence of all these aspects of faith, which I
concretely posit as a higher objective for the spiritual plane at large. This culminates
ultimately in the Faith for life with the purpose of realizing the other high objectives of
mankind. Peace, perfection and culture, which in turn will lead us to the longed harmony in
society and the intellectual individual mind at its highest level of intelligence based on reason
and logic, which is again itself not devoid of faith for a still higher purpose; a higher purpose
beyond human dimension, with which only the mind can and may prepare itself - if not
endowed by nature and historical process in its substance, as some may be - a ready mind at
least in the will,
The will for a healthy human conscience to live with ones neighbor;
The will for a state of peaceful existence;
The will to learn and progress towards perfection;
The will to appreciate the development of human culture in its diversity and complexity;
And never the arrogance of superiority in an inhuman uniformity, negating the very nature of
life or pseudo equality in a uniformity of life, for the purpose of manipulating man. Can you
make out of a cactus tree a eucalyptus, or is it better and wiser to make their common soil
fertile? The faith in Harmony is not a belief in uniformity like religions of this or that color
may propagate. On the contrary, it is a state of existence with diversity and complexity as its
prerequisites. It is with this conception that Faith is presented as one of the four high
objectives of life in harmony. Faith as the crme de la crme emanating out of the healthy
human conscience, the non-dogmatic section of religion and the philosophical faith based on
the intellect.

It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind
that intuition. My discovery was the rest of musical perception. -
Albert Einstein on his Theory of Relativity
The Purpose of Life (Quintessence)

The purpose of Life is to develop the godly nature of Mankind and create the harmonious
Human Being after generations.

The quintessence of life lies on
I. The social plane
II. The cultural plane
III. The Material plane
IV. The Spiritual plane

The interfaces on the transcendental level are
V. The Human plane (consisting of these four planes)
and
VI. The Absolute plane (consisting of all the planes)

There are eight Dimensions making the Backbone of these Planes
1. The State & Laws 5. Mankind & Conscience
2. Community & Ethics 6. Nature & Religion
3. Family & Love 7. The Universe & Faith
4. The Human Being & Hope 8. God, The Absolute & Deliverance

These Dimensions have their corresponding Axes:
1. Humanity (h ) 5. Mass (m )
2. Intelligence/Consciousness (I ) 6. Energy (E )
3. Music (q) 7. Light (c )
4. Destiny (D) 8. The Source (S)

Analogous to the Einstein theory of relativity, which is formulated
for the Material & Spiritual plane (in the Godly Hemisphere) by
E=mc
2
; Energy = Mass x (Speed of Light)
2
;
there may be a social reality which can be formulated by
I= hq
2
; Intelligence = Humaniy x (Quality of Music)
2
for the social & cultural plane (in the Human Hemisphere).
According to this Model, the Purpose of Life is HARMONY within and between the four
Planes of Life and achieving the corresponding Higher Objectives of Mankind:-

Peace, Culture, Perfection/Wealth and Faith.

This will give birth to the godly Human, the Destiny, ready to rejoin its Source.
The Present is however unhappy and full of disharmony. The unhappy present is due to this
disharmony within and between these planes of Life.

Visualising
The Interrelations within the Harmony Model


- Take a model of Sphere. The Human Space makes half of the Sphere and the Godly Space
the other half. The Human Hemisphere and the Godly Hemisphere are graphically
represented in three Dimensional Space.

- The Time Komponent is integrated in the fact that the Concepts are taken to behave as
Waves of idesas running through time.

- The Hemispheres are constituted of as many layers as is necessary for its structural setup.
These layers are vertically setup down to the simplest aggregate of the Section.

- Every layer has horizontally two planes highly related to each other. Like the two sides of
the same coin: The Social and the Cultural Planes for the Human Hemisphere; the Material
and the Spiritual Planes for the Godly Hemisphere.

- The Sectors of the Human and the Godly Hemispheres are here graphically represented in
their context of relations. Moreover, whatever Space they occupy, the Concepts are taken to
have the capacity and properties of Waves to influence and flow into each other, resulting in
as much vitality as possible to reflect the reality.

- At the Centre of the Sphere is the Subject - HUMAN - , with its Human and Godly
Attributes in direct diversed relations and access to All Komponents of the SPHERE of
IDEAS.

- This SPHERE of IDEAS is THE WORD of the SOURCE. THE WORD
The PLAY where this ASHORE and that BEYOND of the HARMONY is eternally
tuned to exist in the SYMPHONY of ALL, flowing and floating like in the "Ballet piece of
Joseph Strauss " -the Dynamiden Waltz- with every being offering its harmonious "musical
touch".

Legends and Explanation:
Structural-table
Each of the four planes of life has three sections organically related to each other making a
harmonious sphere.

Each section consists of three sectors which make the intermediate macrostructure of the
plane to form the harmonious sectional whole.

Each sector can have its units and each unit its elements, making the next structural
aggregate etc.

Every aggregate at any point of the structure is autonomous in its function, complementary in
its relations and inspiring in its effects.

Further micro levels of the structure, belong to the sphere of science and are subjects of
investigation, study, research and analysis.

On a transcendental level interfacing life and beyond, there are two further planes, which are
represented by the 4th and 8th dimensions mentioned.

-The Human plane, which consists of the other four planes and whose subject is the Human
being (mind, body & spirit) with its Destiny as its Axis and complete individual freedom as
the scale of its plane.

-The Absolute plane (Heaven, earth & beyond-dimension), which covers all the five planes
and that beyond human dimension, has the Source as its axis and a non-dimensional scale.

These two planes are not points of presentation here, since they belong to the strict sovereign
domain of the individual human, who is in the spirit of grasping the essence and purpose of
life to determine and control its own being autonomously or leave it for the course of nature.

(The content numbers are based on the dimensional division used in the graphical
presentation.)

Relations and Reflections

Harmony can be achieved through relations and reflections. If Relations and reflections are
only conceived as contradictions and opposites the outcome would be perpetual struggle and
disharmony. On the contrary, relations and reflections are dialectical moments of units and
elements of life making a higher unit contributing to the harmonious whole. Relations have
complementary moments. Reflections contain reciprocal inspiring effects.

All relations and reflections are always in the final analysis either triangular or dual.

Triangular relations:

The social, the cultural and the human plane
The spiritual, the material and the absolute plane
The social, the absolute and the material plane
The cultural, the human and the spiritual plane
Etc. (See model for further possible relations & reflections)

Dual relations:

The social and the cultural planes
1. State and Laws
2. Community and Ethics
3. Family and Love

The absolute plane and the human plane
4. The Human being and Hope

The material and the spiritual planes
5. Mankind and conscience
6. Nature and religion
7. Universe and Faith

The absolute plane & the human plane
8. God and Deliverance

164

Axes, Scales & Higher-Objectives

I. The social plane has the Axis of humanity (h); humanity in the context of the dimension of
the state and laws . The scale of this Axis is HISTORY.

History, in accordance with achieving the higher-objective of PEACE; History, through the
cultural development, with enlightenment playing a crucial role, and the support of scientific
progress, has brought about no other form of state than Democracy, which can better serve
the high objective of Peace. PEACE has been and can only be achieved as long as there is
harmony between the cultural and the social planes and all the more between the sections
within these planes. Peace has always been compromised in History, as soon as the harmony
between these factors (planes, sections, sectors, units, elements) was risked, with the
consequences of wars and revolutions.
165



35

II. The Cultural plane has the Axis of music (q); quality of music in the context of the
dimension of the family and love. Music is a relation of cultural development and material
production, signifying eternity. The scale of this Axis is CULTURE.

Culture, however it may be quantified, in the light of achieving a high human CULTURE of
peace, is significant. There are some absolute high figures and works, which are incontestable
like Shakespeare, Goethe, and Mozart...Ghandi ... Mandela...etc the human message and
peace is the essence of the scale.

INTELLIGENCE in the context of the dimension of community and Ethics, as a function
of the factors -humanity and quality of music, is the Axis interfacing both the social and the
cultural planes.

III. The material plane has the Axis of mass (m); mass in the context of the dimension of
mankind and conscience. The scale of this axis is SCIENCE.

Development of Science in accordance with the higher-objective of PERFECTION, in the
sense of a human culture, harmony with nature and life as a whole. The development of all
spheres of science has always in the end amounted to understanding mankind, nature and the
universe in depth, which leads Man to PERFECTION.

IV. The spiritual plane has the Axis of light (c); light in the context of the dimension of the
universe and faith. Light/ speed of light/, which is a relation of space to time, signifying
infinity. The scale of this axis is SPACE.

Space, which is abstract and extends up to a dimensionless imagination of non-space; has the
higher-objective of FAITH in the Absolute, which gives life a PURPOSE; HARMONY.
Through Harmony transcendence is possible and FAITH can be achieved and through Faith
the reality of Harmony can be felt.

FAITH, however, as the common interface to the human and absolute plane, is a domain of
the free and sovereign Individual Human being, which cannot and does not impose itself on
Life but come about in due course of Nature and embraces the human species. Faith is a
feeling, which is relatively present in the social reality or the real human being (as an
experience or otherwise), and all the more, as one of the four higher-objectives of mankind to
give life a purpose and maintain the path of optimism and hope. It is of paramount
significance to consider this Faith (it is not only religion, which is exclusive) as a reality to
maintain the Harmony of Life. Otherwise society will end up under the domination of
religious fanatics, who will manipulate the faith-related natural instincts of mankind, like all
dogmatic ideologies do, to counteract the very enlightenment we are longing for.

ENERGY in the context of the dimension of nature and religion, as a function of the factors
- mass and the speed of light, is the Axis interfacing both the material and the spiritual
planes.
166




The Nucleus - Science and Creation

Science is the companion of mankind and life since creation or the beginning of existence,
running through the four planes of life covering the necessary and corresponding domains and
faculties of knowledge, like a spiral thread of network developing through time and history.
This is represented like a pipeline full of the different contents nourishing the different planes
on its way of development and maturing process. This is also taking into account the source
of creation symbolized by the cross or the four arrows signifying the four main religious
streams of today: Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism & related. The beginning of
initial sciences; mathematics and Source, medicine and Energy, pedagogy and the Human
being, music and Intelligence, is presented at the centre; the offspring of initial-existence.
The beginning of Science and Creation is a dual relation, which exists together and attains
its resolution in the domain of the human and absolute planes, a sovereign sphere of the
individual HUMAN BEING.
The spiral thread of science has not finished covering the planes signifying that it is far from
PERFECTION and is on its way of developing and maturing. The level of this development
can indicate the quality of life, the degree of the achievement of harmony in life, the four
objectives of mankind and the possible resolution of the relation between creation and
science.

Main Spheres of Science serving the different planes of life- the gardens of life- as
nourishment:

I. The social plane
Sociology, Economics, political science and Engineering
Mathematics & Music

I. The cultural plane
History, Philology, Literature/Arts and Laws
Music & Pedagogy

III. The material plane
Physics, Chemistry and Biology
Mathematics & Medicine

IV. The spiritual plane
Theology, Philosophy, Psychiatry and Psychology
Medicine & Pedagogy

concerning Lhe signiicanL role o nusic in Lhe ornaLion, developnenL and capaciLy o inLelligence, iL is a acL
LhaL Lhere is no inLelligence devoid o nusic and LhaL nusic is a high subsLanLial and proninenL acLor o

Husic is Lhe besL and cunulaLed expression o any culLure in any connuniLy. Jhere is no hunan culLure devoid
o nusic. Lie - hunan exisLence wiLhouL nusic, be iL aL Lhe individual level or in a connuniLy is beyond

In Lhe January 1997 arLicle, Jhe Husical Hind", Cardner was quoLed as saying LhaL nusic nighL be a special
inLelligence which should be viewed dierenLly ron oLher inLelligences. he sLaLed LhaL nusical inLelligence
probably carries nore enoLional, spiriLual and culLural weighL Lhan Lhe oLher inLelligences. 8uL perhaps nosL
inporLanL, Cardner says, is LhaL nusic helps sone people organize Lhe way Lhey Lhink and work by helping Lhen
develop in oLher areas, such as naLh, language, and spaLial reasoning. "2
Civen all Lhe Lechnical and biological dierenLiaLion and variaLions o InLelligence secLors, I cannoL inagine
LhaL Lhere is no possibiliLy o naking a uniying absLracLion o Lhese secLors inLo one noLion!- AL leasL Lhe way
Lhis was expressed in Lhe ancienL hunan wisdon, in Lhe ollowing nice way o generalizing Lhe absLracL
subsLance, which I call qualiLy o nusic in iLs highesL orn:
Husic is a noral law. IL gives soul Lo Lhe universe, wings Lo Lhe nind, lighL Lo Lhe inaginaLion, and charn
and gaieLy Lo lie and Lo everyLhing." (laLo)1
Husic is Lhe novenenL o sound Lo reach Lhe soul or Lhe educaLion o iLs virLue." (plaLo)3
And I say Lhis noL because I an a nusician buL sinply as a person who nay have happened Lo experience under
cerLain avourable circunsLances, whaL Lhe nusicians call (I learned laLer) Lhe so called perecL piLch, which
gave ne Lhe eeling o undersLanding higher philosophical and naLural relaLions or a shorL period o Line. I eel
Lhis sLaLe o exisLence and experience nay have been over by now, like a orn o youLhul love aair, wiLh iLs
blissul nosLalgic nenory. 8uL along Lhis exprience Lhe residue o enjoing and appreciaLing classical nusic aL a

nissing Lraining in any o Lhe nusical genres. Jhis sLill ills ne wiLh innense saLisacLion I didn'L encounLer

IrrespecLive o Lhe acL, wheLher Lhe naLure o perecL piLch is geneLic or noL, Lhis evenL can be explained by
Lhe nissing nusical nodule, which was noL, culLivaLed enough during Lhe early inanL period." In respecL Lo
Lhis, nay be also ny experience, John Slovobada Lhinks LhaL we are all born like our innaLe capaciLy or

... Like oLher sensory sysLens, Lhe one or hearing is arranged hierarchically, consisLing o a sLring o neural
processing sLaLions ron Lhe ear Lo Lhe highesL level, Lhe audiLory corLex. Jhe processing o sounds, such as
nusical Lones, begins wiLh Lhe inner ear (cochlea), which sorLs conplex sounds produced by, say, a violin, inLo
Lheir consLiLuenL elenenLary requencies. Jhe cochlea Lhen LransniLs Lhis inornaLion along separaLely Luned
ibers o Lhe audiLory nerve as Lrains o neural discharges. LvenLually Lhese Lrains reach Lhe audiLory corLex in
Lhe Lenporal lobe. ..
Jhe response Lo nusic per se, Lhough, is nore conplicaLed. Husic consisLs o a sequence o Lones, and
percepLion o iL depends on grasping Lhe relaLionships beLween sounds. Hany areas o Lhe brain are involved in
processing Lhe various conponenLs o nusic. Consider Lone, which enconpasses boLh Lhe requencies and
loudness o a sound...
8uL in Lhe laLe 1980s Jhonas H. HcKenna and I, working in ny laboraLory aL Lhe bniversiLy o Caliornia aL
Irvine, raised doubLs abouL LhaL noLion when we sLudied conLour, which is Lhe paLLern o rising and alling
piLches LhaL is Lhe basis or all nelodies. .. Jhese indings show LhaL Lhe paLLern o a nelody naLLers:
processing in Lhe audiLory sysLen is noL like Lhe sinple relaying o sound in a Lelephone or sLereo sysLen.
AlLhough nosL research has ocused on nelody, rhyLhn (Lhe relaLive lengLhs and spacing o noLes), harnony
(Lhe relaLion o Lwo or nore sinulLaneous Lones) and Linbre (Lhe characLerisLic dierence in sound beLween
Lwo insLrunenLs playing Lhe sane Lone) are also o inLeresL. SLudies o rhyLhn have concluded LhaL one
henisphere is nore involved, alLhough Lhey disagree on which henisphere. Jhe problen is LhaL dierenL Lasks
and even dierenL rhyLhnic sLinuli can denand dierenL processing capaciLies. For exanple, Lhe leL Lenporal
lobe seens Lo process brieer sLinuli Lhan Lhe righL Lenporal lobe and so would be nore involved when Lhe
lisLener is Lrying Lo discern rhyLhn while hearing brieer nusical sounds.
Jhe siLuaLion is clearer or harnony. Inaging sLudies o Lhe cerebral corLex ind greaLer acLivaLion in Lhe
audiLory regions o Lhe righL Lenporal lobe when subjecLs are ocusing on aspecLs o harnony. Jinbre also has
been assigned" a righL Lenporal lobe preerence. aLienLs whose Lenporal lobe has been renoved (such as Lo
elininaLe seizures) show deiciLs in discrininaLing Linbre i Lissue ron Lhe righL, buL noL Lhe leL, henisphere
is excised. In addiLion, Lhe righL Lenporal lobe becones acLive in nornal subjecLs when Lhey discrininaLe
beLween dierenL Linbres.
8rain responses also depend on Lhe experiences and Lraining o Lhe lisLener. Lven a liLLle Lraining can quickly

CHANG YOUR
MIND
*********************************************
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 fableMy 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.

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

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

Arent 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 shift In 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.Dont 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.

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

You arent 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.
Its 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.

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:
http://www.hekaya.de/txt.hx/kleine-fabel--fabel--kafka_1

" 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 glcklich, 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 ndern, sagte die Katze und fra 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.

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.
