Water
by 10k films on August 5th, 2009
The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
And even cleanses those places
A man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao
Live in accordance with the nature of things…
One who lives in accordance with nature
Does not go against the way of things
He moves in harmony with the present moment
Always knowing the truth of just what to do
-Tao Te Ching, Verse 8

The Signature – Jacob Boehme
by 10k films on June 4th, 2009
“All whatever is spoken, written, or taught of God, without the knowledge of the signature is dumb and void of understanding; for it proceeds only from an historical conjecture, from the mouth of another, wherein the spirit without knowledge is dumb; but if the spirit opens to him the signature, then he understands the speech of another…
For though I see one to speak, teach, preach, and write of God, and though I hear and read the same, yet this is not sufficient for me to understand him; but if his sound and spirit out of his signature and similitude enter into my own similitude, and imprint his similitude into mine, then I may understand him really and fundamentally, be it either spoken or written, if he has the hammer that can strike my bell.
By this we know, that all human properties proceed from one; that they all have but one only root and mother; otherwise one man could not understand another.
Man has indeed all the forms of all the three worlds lying in him; for he is a complete image of God, or of the Being of all beings.”
Jacob Boehme
the little shadow that runs across the grass…
by 10k films on June 4th, 2009
“What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”
- Chief Isapwo Muksika Crowfoot
