  • The Dancing Cry Of The Soul

    Dance soul rumi

    Love is the dancing cry of the soul, calling the body to worship
    Like a shining whirlpool, or a spinning mayfly
    So is love among the skies.

    I leap across the mountaintops, madly singing the song of all songs
    I float through the ether, intoxicated, thrilled
    I think only of your love, your calling to me
    And I dance the thousand dances of love, all returning to you.

    It is not the play of children, nor the detached unity of wise sages
    Unreal! Unnecessary!
    Where is the beauty?

    When I, like a glowing comet, may flash around your sun
    Laughing, singing, with the joy of loving you!

    Wine makes drunk the mind and body
    But it is love which thrills the soul
    When I approach you, I feel the mad pounding of love
    The singing wonder
    The joy which opens blossoms on the trees of the world.

    Come to me, and I shall dance with you
    In the temples, on the beaches, through the crowded streets
    Be you man or woman, plant or animal, slave or free
    I shall show you the brilliant crystal fires, shining within
    I shall show you the beauty deep within your soul
    I shall show the path beyond Heaven.

    Only dance, and your illusions will blow in the wind
    Dance, and make joyous the love around you
    Dance, and your veils which hide the Light
    Shall swirl in a heap at your feet.

    Rumi

  • Dance & Evolution of Consciousness

    Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. – Angela Monet

    Dance of Shiva is what scientists call the dance of particles as they arise and disappear out of “quantum” foam.

    Sacred Dance and the Mystery of Presence
    presence in the body–
    –the emergence of sensation,
    appreciation of life itself,
    awareness of form and weight
    and place in space
    presence in the feelings–
    —the emergence of a longing for Being,
    conscience, compassion,
    relation to rather than isolation from others;
    and all of Great Nature
    presence in the mind–
    –the emergence of the nature of awareness,
    seeing, insight, awareness of self,
    awareness of pattern
    and therefore meaning
    Self-remembering and the deep mystery of Being

    Movements, an integral part of George Gurdjieff teachings, are designed to harmonize our thinking, feeling and moving; refine and develop our attention; and deepen our presence.
