I made this print by using an old archaic photographic tecnique called cyanotype (or sun/blue print) for the phylosophical and mystical poem by Szilárd Borbély, the The Sequence of Three Secrets (A Három Titok Szekvenciája), which is a part of his series called Hasidic Sequences, where he reflects on Hasidic teachings and beliefs in literary form.

You can purchase this original and only one, signed copy through my Etsy if you like it.

Here's my english translation of the poem, below there is the hungarian original.

Taub Eizik from Kalev, a pupil of the Seer of Lublin said that there are three types of secrets in the world. One is is like this Self-Consciousness, which

that everyone carries within himself because of their previous lives. And have no idea what it is. And don't understand why hide it from others, because it is

hidden from itself too until he dies again. The second secret, is like a light hiding in the mind, nesting in the depths of the skull

until it knows the essence of speech: in the letters of writing the faint glimmer of the primordial light that has come to us from the beginning of creation

that gleams in the depths of life. When the Self begins to read a book written in human language, Finally, the third secret is that of the

one who says: I. While he sorts the stones at the beginning of the path waiting for you, already prepared the unturned stones by the entrance gate

and then reads the engraved for the greatest secret is the stone that only means the Self. And it does not say, Amen.

Formal education teaches how to stand, but to see the rainbow you must come out and walk many steps on your own.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciples. A noble artist, he has visions of excellence and revelations of beauty, which he has neither impersonated in character, nor embodied in words. His life and teachings are but studies for yet nobler ideals.

Amos Bronson Alcott

Spirit feels, ego thinks.

How could feelings ever be

Bitches when I'm catholic and queer (Christian belief is a spectrum and in the bible, jesus tells us that you cannot put new wine into an old sack, meaning you cannot teach a modern day Christian the same way we taught old Christians. We must instead adapt with times as to how we think God would want us to act. Furthermore, the pope has called on catholics to love the queer community as their neighbour)

Psalm 19:7 (CEV) - The Law of the LORD is perfect; it gives us new life. His teachings last forever, and they give wisdom to ordinary people.

Kuan Yin

* * * *

“In the months and years following my participation in the completion of Oracle of Compassion: the Living Word of Kuan Yin, I did, in accordance with the deity’s former declaration—that she would continue sending important dreams, experience many dreams and visitations from Kuan Yin. It was after completing the transcription of some of the Kuan Yin quotes that I fell into a deep slumber. Just before awakening, I dreamt of Kuan Yin standing in my living room directly in front of the marble-tiled fireplace wherein Lena Lees and I would hold prayer circles.

So real was this vision that I could hear the deity’s sweet voice explain that there is a specific meditation for connecting with the Celestial Wisdom! Witnessing Kuan Yin lie face down on the Oriental Carpet with arms outstretched over Her head, I watched as Her thumb and forefinger formed a triangle—the dhyana mudra specifically designated to Kannon called the dhyana mudra displayed by the fourth Dhyani Buddha Amitabha, also known as Amitayus Kuan Yin. It was then that Kuan Yin further explained the significance of this specific mudra; that it acts similar to a capstone on an obelisk—drawing wisdom to one who has demonstrated intention to be a teacher of wisdom.

Aware that Kuan Yin was pointed in a northward direction, I surmised this particular alignment was also a significant aspect of the meditation—that this specific positioning was most ideal for receiving answers for prayers directed to the Her. Later in the dream, it was confirmed that each person attracts from the universe, realities that are aligned with their specific beliefs and values.” ― Hope Bradford CHt, Kuan Yin Buddhism:: The Kuan Yin Parables, Visitations and Teachings

THE ORPHIC EGG. From Bryant's An Analysis of Ancient Mythology. The ancient symbol of the Orphic Mysteries was the serpent-entwined egg, which signified Cosmos as encircled by the fiery Creative Spirit. The egg also represents the soul of the philosopher; the serpent, the Mysteries. At the time of initiation the shell is broke. and man emerges from the embryonic state of physical existence wherein he had remained through the fetal period of philosophic regeneration.

[siddartha--speaks]

People want happiness, not suffering. But in fact happiness is just a refined form of suffering. Suffering itself is the coarse form. We can compare them to a snake.

...

Likewise happiness and unhappiness, pleasure and sadness, arise from the same snake, "wanting". So when we're happy, the mind isn't really peaceful.
