SPIRIT DELTA
‘In the Dutch/Australian War’
Ab-Original Poetry
DELTA OF SPIRIT Thank you for strong heart courageous Survivor and skipper of the beat Rhythm bursting heat through hammerblowing ages I'm grateful those hearts in masters remain The ragged wound, unhealed pain
Thank you for gifting the old sacred stories Guardians attendant to living in the wind Thank you then for the ritual in dying Of the sand-grain that pointed my image to dust
I'll bury these hearts in delta beneath me And save in this moor under mist in my mind Grateful for storm and grateful for vulcano's Power, presence, passion and will Respect and discipline to remember My heart lying dormant in Amsterdam still
So thank you so much for ancestral dreaming The singing of beings who are still to be worn By bearings in hearts newly pregnant Melting together Already born.
Zaal 100, Amsterdam, Januari 2003.

BUDDHA-QUANTUM
Holographic body / mind-self Extra-luminal world and unending movement Grinding chaos into synchrony, Transform natural dream-field physiology towards
Return / allowing quintessence of spiral-initiation And power, courage, music, dance Feeling just and fair the vision of Journeying songline through righteous Dharma Earth.
Concordance, Amsterdam, 23/10/03
TECHNIQUES OF WAR
War White task is grace gifted glory War White weapon benevolently handed down by ancestor For white men breaking bonds of oppression War-white sunrise continues eternal White generations of children abound
War serenely slays confusion Love smothers sorrow White hands hold the means of measure War-white laughter drowns the hate Mercy melting missile misery
White Boddhisatva worker, creating peace White magick myth, wicca and witch Fulcrum victory genesis holocaust Is white warrior willing new dimension
Heal white, free saintly spirit Sacrament wonder of death, light of darkness Knowing, dear wise generation That children abound.
for Ira C. and Louise L.L. War Poetry 1 Amsterdam, 23/7/03. |
HIDDEN LION
Grateful for unity to follow Thankful for the thinning of my veil That was passing and parting you and me Now bridgeing survival, closing the gap Ending distraction of distance
Gratitude for victory, for crossing of time The warriors' raising of Great Eastern Sun And wellspring of wisdom-nourishing light Shines on miracles Of divine wind justly rising
Journey beyond pestilence Dance on music outside pain Beyond void, Blessed beings In abundance of living legend.

ULTIMATE WARRIOR, ULTIMATE NATURE
Clouds purify Ground-zero level-headed Warrior mind stability in Walls crumbling that Enter kingdom of Rigden From multi outer serene essence Omni inner-inter exit to autonomous realm of Emanate spiral nature as Equilibrated equal of Utopia and dust And clearlight reflecting the rebound must Mind-weave a web from virtue and scum Grasp the fear-atom from celestial drum In endless galaxies forever Past imageing awareness in emptiness Burns a flame not bound by any holiness ... But yo, hey warrior, do not dwell on this Knowledge won’t lead beyond it's own bliss In your succulent being; Living original in observation Shifting world in subjective creation.

SOSADH
Bring us in, earthlings Be our guiding light Only you can turn us on Only your eyes know the sun Only you opened your sight On love
Earthlings mercy, save our souls Only you bring us onto tracks Only your feet could weave Treading rhyme unto reason Humming 'Still domain of good Is in the resting of all evil'
So listen up, blue planet dwellers While you sought to fix up yourselves to survive That in your process of creating You also brought us to appear into life
It's your very own brains That have evolved into strive And this peculiar way of thinking Is now turning to crystallised jelly Your own infernal prison multiverse hive
Now we are mere beings that source from your fear Outside of you we would never be here So if war and not progress consumes what exists Also of us will remain only mist
So you see, planet earth, we're not only coming I am already inside your domain So when you blow those brains to hell now Nothing if any will fucking remain
So hello world! welcome transmuting We'd better stop your crappy lot Out the door with war and polluting Just hold on world Bloody ready or not.
voor Ron Chapiteau, Amsterdam, 30/1/04.

" Two forces seemed to be contending; their techniques always shifting and escalating in fluid adaptation to new circumstances.
On one side were the “Marrnggitj” – figures of seniority, able to comfort and to heal. On the other were the shadowy “Galkas” – responsible for all deaths and sicknesses, sowing terror and anguish in every heart. " From: Nicolas Rothwell; The Australian, May 07, 2010 >>>Click

Garrkuluk The article draws on the association drawn by Munn between Aboriginal ancestral transformations and the moral order, and the theory of partible persons, in order to re-examine Yolngu doctrines and related practices to do with totemic ancestors and their traces, magic and sorcery, and exchange. It argues that all three broad domains draw on beliefs about intrinsic relations between part and whole, image and object, and the intrinsic powers of bodily substance and spirits of the dead. These domains imply the extension of persons in time and space, and each relates to a rather distinct aspect of the moral-political order. The article shows that the strong dichotomy drawn by Durkheim and his followers between 'religion' and 'magic' obscures the connections between these domains, and neglects the instrumental aspect of Yolngu ancestral doctrines and practices.

| YOLNGU STYLE WITITJ HEALING, AN INTRODUCTION I first met Djalu Gurruwiwi in November 2001, as one of the senior elders of the NE Arnhem Land Galpu clan. Over the last decade Djalu has become world renowned as the grandmaster of the yirdaki (the original 'didgeridoo') and all this entails. He is known internationally as a spiritual leadsman and healer, mostly through teaching the art of yirdaki to Westerners. In 2002, after sixteen years in Australia and one year after my meeting with Djalu I returned to Holland, to my own town of Amsterdam. ... To some traditionalists, any Yolngu teaching by a non-Yolngu may seem inappropriate. So. Responsibility for representing, sharing and maintaining Yolngu culture was entrusted to me through initiation by the men of Galpu clan, Elders and custodians. As was the experience and honour of being made Wititj custodian and ambassador for Aboriginal Australia in its broadest sense.
Six years ago I found such a place in the west of Amsterdam, at an old farmhouse called 'Ons Genoegen', which means 'Our Pleasure' in the Dutch language. ... ... People feeling involved with what this project can offer in such fields as healing, reconciliation, cross-cultural understanding, self-expression and even leadership? Mindful of Yolngu tradition and philosophy, please understand that Wititj-healing at 'Ons Genoegen' is not taking place in a way that we in the West are commonly used to. So, trust your own experience, insights and your own interpretation. All depends on what it is that needs to be learned.
Motj and the Nature of the Sacred | Cultural Survival
"There are words in Yolngu-Matha for Allah, for a Christ-like father figure, and for a heavenly paradise above, all drawn from long contacts with Islamic traders from eastern Indonesia, but according to Burrumarra, only one word refers to sacred as the source of all life. What supernatural entity or entities allow "a tree to take water inside itself from the leaves and roots and to flourish?" "We know this is where the tree gets its water but we don’t see it happening. We only hear about it. Motj is the water of life. It is our word for God.... "Motj is a word used only by the marrangitj--the sorcerer and healer. The Warramiri marrangitj would speak to Motj in all its dimensions. Motj directs our thinking to a purpose. We speak to the wind, clouds, and the earth, and Motj speaks to us through them...." from: www.culturalsurvival.org/.../csq/.../motj-and-nature-sacred - <<< Click Elcho Island, David Burrumarra with Ian S.
