Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Goethe states: "If You Want To Complete Something of Worth & Skill, then quietly and unceasingly direct the greatest force upon the smallest point."
"der sammle stil and unerschlafft. im kleinsten, Punkt die grosste Kraft." To our German speaking Outposters: Am I getting the right translation?

Better translation here -> http://books.google.ca/books?id=ielIDVsIqHAC&pg=PA126&lpg=PA126&dq=unerschlafft+translate&source=bl&ots=MmZS_JKbWr&sig=vgLXs9C _I-C3bVF58BKxobjL1zU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BPcaT8bFBKjk0QGgsZnfCw&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
In any case, I think he was referencing growth and creation of great works being based on strong foundations (roots) in that work.

I'm picking this up in a Hermetic meditation on the first Arcanum of the Tarot, the Mage.
The key to understanding is concentration without effort (i.e. listening in calm to silence).
There are two types of concentration, interested and disinterested. Interested concentration is marked by dominating passions, attachments and obsessions. For example, if you observe a glutton preparing his meal you will see a remarkable degree of concentration. Disinterested concentration is a will free of enslaving passions, attachments and obsessions.
This is what Jesus means by: "My yoke is easy. My burden light."
In yoga the first arcanum of yoga is Yoga citta vritti nirodha. Yoga is the suppression of oscillations of the mental substance.
