GT

The greatest challenge in entering the context of [mystical discourse]
lies in disabusing ourselves of this spatial and temporal orientation.
Every text must be interpreted in the here and now, because this is
the only reality. The past is memory and the future is hope, but the
present is everything real.


So when you are asked what God did before God created the world, just
smile. And when you are asked what life will be like after we die,
just smile ...

Comfortably numb

Hello,
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now 
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts



There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am 
I have become comfortably numb

Okay 
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! 
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do belive it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show 
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding 
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves 
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying 
When I was a child 
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become comfortably numb

beati

beati pauperes spiritu quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum

beati mites quoniam ipsi possedebunt terram

beati qui lugent quoniam ipsi consolabauntur

beati qui esurient et sitiunt iustitiam quoniam ipsi saturabuntur

beati misericordes quia ipsi misericordiam consequentur

beati mundo corde quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt

beati pacifici quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur

beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter iustitiam quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum


ego sum


ego sum panis vitae qui veniet ad me non esuriet et qui credit in me non sitiet umquam


ego sum lux mundi qui sequitur me non ambulabit in tenebris sed habebit lucem vita


ego sum ostium per me siquis introierit salvabitur et ingredietur et egredietur et pascua inveniet


ego sum pastor bonus bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus


ego sum resurrectio et vita qui credit in me et si mortuus fuerit vivet


ego sum via et veritas and vita nemo venit ad Patrem nisi per me


ego sum vitis vera et Pater meus agricola est
