The Majesty of Love: A Quest for Unity
Act I Going to the Mountain Top
Carl Jung: I am happy to see you. (Shakes hands.) Sit down. And
be comfortable. Let’s talk. What do you do for a living?
S. I’m a scientist -- I came to see you -- because I am depressed.
J. Nobody lives without trouble…
S. I have fallen into darkness.
J. I am sorry -- but knowing your own darkness…is the best way
to deal with the darkness of others.
S. It’s more. I fear….madness, going insane.
J. (Smiles showing a strong spirit)… Show me a sane man and I
will cure him for you. (Both laugh, silence.).
S. My wife died.
J. Oh, I am very sorry. (Pause.) There is no coming to
consciousness without pain.
S. There is more. I have lust. The deepest places of my soul are
corrupted with desire.
J. You cannot find real love without going through an inferno.
S. I have lust in my flesh and eyes…I’m condemned.
J. Condemnation will not liberate you. It oppresses you.
You cannot be abstinent without your wife?
S. I confess my hunger for a woman. I have prayed to God: Grant
me chastity and continence --- but not yet.
J. Climb a mountain.
S. What? (Upset.)
J. When you get to the top, look at the sunset. Stay all night….
Then, sleep. And dream…
S. My desire is the same between waking and sleeping.
J. Climb a high mountain. You will sleep from sheer exhaustion.
You will dream the answer.
S. What is the answer?
J. Agape is a deeper love.
S. I have waged with my soul in the chamber of my heart. But I am
still with desire -- for a woman.
J. Agape has majesty. It is greater than you think, more than erotic
love.
S. I thought you would give me some pills.
J. Let me tell you what happened to one of my patients. He
climbed a high mountain. Listen.
Song I Going up the Mountain
Jill (Soprano) = Bold type.
Jack (Tenor) = Normal type.
(Jack sings to a person who stands up in the front row as a
“mountain guide.”)
Jack: You say: Trail twenty-two is good to see the rock formations
and it goes straight to the top where I can see the sunset and the
sunrise… And you say: All those trails join half way up… And I
will meet people who can tell me their view of the mountain.
Thank you for your help.
(Another member in the front row stands up as a mountain guide.)
Jill: You say: Trail Twenty-Three is good for seeing the sunset.
Oh that's the Trail I will take. I am in love with flowers and
bees and rocks and trees. You say: I could meet some one on
the way who can talk to me about mountains and how they all
got here on Earth. I'm in love with nature. Oh, nature is a part
of me! Thank you for your help!
Hello! Hello! I'm a scientist going up to the top of this mountain to
study rocks and plants and the sunset. Well, I am a poet. I came
here to get inspired by the beauty of this place. I walk slowly so
I can see rocks that I need for my research.
[To herself: Who is this man? My heart beats. Oh my! My body
vibrates. No reason.]
He looks down. Aside: [I like this man. And I hope he stays on
top of the mountain]
And I walk slowly to talk with the rocks. I would love to learn
from you. Can you tell me about some of those rocks I see
here?
Yes, I would be happy to tell you. Let's see. Look. See over there.
Teach me what is in those rocks. Combinations of minerals that
are formed in many different ways.
[Aside: [Oh what a guy! I really like him.] [Oh what a gal. I
really like her.]
Tell me about those rocks over there and tell me how they are
made. Oh no… I want to know… You can see sedimentary rocks
and igneous and metamorphic rocks. Every rock can be made into
every to every other type of rock in a rock cycle you should know.
I do not know any thing. Tell me more about rocks. (#232)
Igneous rocks are liquid like lava under pressure and very hot like
from volcanoes. And what are those rocks? Those are sedentary
rocks made of limestone. And over there? Those are sandstone
and there's some shale. So, what creates a mountain?
Mountains are made from metamorphic rocks, intensely hot.
Oooo! Now tell me what you see in those rock formations. Oh, I
think differently. Tell me. These rocks speak to me each day.
They say: “Give us your anxiety and we will give you peace.
We take away all your fear. We will give you strength and
steadiness. Fair trade: We need your humanity and you need
to live without fear.”
Tell me more. I am sad about the death of my wife. I am sorry.
When she died, I died with her. Oh dear! Poems may tell me why
I am here on earth. Oh God be with you now. Tell me a poem if
you will.
Regret is a rock that is always there. We pretend it is gone but
its weight remains. Grief can pull us down and make us cry.
We can try to ignore it but it's weight stays hiding in our heart.
That’s me! By luck we can learn from rocks in riverbeds
because over time they slowly fade, and become sand. I could
fade away as sand. Tell me more about sand and stone.
Sandstone is composed of small grains of feldspar or quartz. The
cement that binds the grains together is calcite and silica. That is
very interesting. Tell me what do you see there? See?
[pointing.]
You mean those flowers down there? What is that species? There
are over two hundred thousand species of flowers that we know.
When did they begin on earth? One hundred and twenty million
years ago as angiosperms. Angiosperms? You should know that
there are at least two hundred and sixty thousand species on the
earth. Amazing. The flower is one of the key innovations in
evolution. A key innovation?
Without land plants and photosynthesis you would not be here to
see any colors or smell this fragrance. Oh thank God for all these
flowers I see right here. Now tell me: What you see as a poet? I
drink dew for wine and I dance to the swaying of grass. I'm a
lover's gift and a wedding wreath for those who become as one.
Well! Now tell me more so I see what you can see.
You need to love all those rocks and flowers so you can feel
your own way into nature. Tell me more about how you do it.
Listen. When beechen buds begin to swell. And woods the
bluebird's warble know, then the yellow violets modest bell
peeps from last year's leaves below. When russet fields their
green resume, sweet bud that I love in forest bare, oh, to meet
thee, when thy faint perfume alone is in the virgin air. Now I
know IT IS SPRING AGAIN. (William Cullen Bryant)
Oh my. I need new eyes and ears to see and hear like you. (#404)
Can you hear the rolling rocks in that river there? Perk
your ears now. Can you hear? Can you hear the sound?
Identify with all of them. Are you with them? Listen. There
they go down the mountain. Down they go. If you hear it, you
can then write poetry. Poems are like music.
I am trying. Rocks have their music. I am trying… I am
closer. I think you are close. I feel something. Can you hear
them? Yes I hear them. (436)
Now. Tell me about trees. Well, I think that I shall never see a
poem as lovely as a tree. That’s it. Now you tell me about the
science of the tree.
Trees are in two groups: Carnivorous and broad-leaved. The first
trees were big plants with woody stems. Interesting. The first trees
were big plants, say, four hundred years ago. How many species
of trees exist today? One hundred thousand. Why do leaves
change their color? I don’t know! Chlorophyll gives leaves the
color green. Autumn comes and light goes down in energy and
so… the leaves turn yellow and orange for lack of chlorophyll.
I think you've got it!
Can you compose a poem for me about the leaves you see out
there? Leaves. They are all in a frolic with the wind's loud song
as they whirl and float and swing and fly a-long.
Let's slow down. I want to learn more from you. It is steep
here. Look there. Yes, that mountain stream! Look at that
wonderful water. It's glorious! Heavenly, now tell me about
water. Can we sing of water? [Counterpoint.]Water is incredible
as it washes me clean and then feeds the tree. It falls from the
sky in tears and washes away my fears. Water is a molecule with
two atoms that bond with one another. Two atoms transcend into
one grand molecule. Oh, tell me more. The oxygen side has a
slight charge that is negative. Do you know what? What?
Hydrogen has a positive charge. Water dissolves and binds with
ions. Ions have power. (Water holds our very spirit.) (Water can
bind and dissolve. Our body is sixty percent water.) I am water
floating down the mountain. What was that Math? TWO
hydrogen atoms and ONE oxygen atom adds up to One. And
TWO drops of water add up to just ONE. But we are TWO
people not just One!
Act II Two not just One (Bar #585)
J. This is a true story.
S. No. It’s fantasy.
J. Without fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth.
The debt we owe to the imagination is incalculable. Jack and Jill
are opposites, falling in love. Each is transcending.
S. Transcending?
J. Jack has lots of male energy. I call it animus. That can appear
first as lust. But he also has anima.
S. Anima?
J. It’s a feminine power, hidden. Jane represents his “anima.” She
is helping break his depression.
S. Her feminine power is hidden in him?
J. Yes. His “anima” is unconscious. Jane woke it up.
S. What do you mean?
J. Jane could feel the sound of a great presence in nature. She sings
the sound of rocks to him.
S. (scoffing laugh) Wait …rocks do not make music... rolling
rocks? Ha.
J. She is filled with imagination. He’s a scientist – like you -searching for facts.
S. So?
J. He lives by reason. She lives by feeling and intuition.
S. You mean: opposites attract.
J. Yes. They are falling in love with their opposite nature. Each
way of life is hidden in the other. In the East these two energies are
called Yin and Yang.
S. Yin and Yang?
J. They are like opposites. When they are balanced you are
healthy. When they join, there is a transformation.
S. How?
J. Animus and anima contain an element of the other. He loved her
qualities of Yin and she loved his Yang.
S. So... Jack is waking up her interest in science.
J. Exactly. They are moved by the power of a higher passion.
S. What was that math all about…one and two add up to one?
J. That’s a mystery. They are evolving. Let me go on with the
story. It is about transcending the past. Listen.
Song
But now we must go back up the mountain and see what's there at
the very top. It's a long way to the top. Can you see the end? No,
not yet, but I think it's not too far: There! Look I can see.
Wow! Ho! Almost there. Look at that scene. Yes, see the sunset.
This is what I dream about. Now look at those colors of hazy red
and orange and… Now I can study the presence of barium in the
atmosphere right now with my spectroscope. What's a
spectroscope? A spectroscope allows me to study the emission of
light and the quantity of (What?) water in the dry gases of the
atmosphere. You are out of breath and so am I.
(M.595) (Out of breath look we are on the top!
Look. We have reached the top. Look at that. See that sun.
Wow! Yes! I can see it. I can see the sunset. It’s beautiful. Sing to
me a poem. Okay… Oh what a sight. Oh what a light. It is the
key. It sings to me. It says that darkness will be upon us soon.
I forgot to tell you I must stay all night. I must measure the sunrise.
I will stay to see the moon. It’s getting late. I must stay with the
sun to finish my work. I have no flashlight here. I have a
flashlight here. Now the sun is down way below the horizon.
Where do I sleep to night? I should sleep alone? Where? Over
there! See the big rock? You'll be safe and private there for the
night. I'll be here. That is fine. It's quite cold. Yet, I'm okay; I
have this blanket to put on me. I'm fine. If you get very cold let
me know, and we can do something to solve the problem. Just call
to me. “Love costs all we are but it’s love that sets us free.” [Maya
Angelou] There are some snakes but they won't bother you. The snake
that is coiled in you will rise tonight. What? Sing me a poem
about this night.
Act III (Bar #829)
Jung: This is a crucial moment. We cannot pretend understand the
world by our intellect alone. If his Kundalini wakes up, something
could happen.
Scientist: Kundalini?
J. Kundalini is an energy looped at the base of the spine, in the
sacrum. Joseph Campbell called it the Dragon. It is coiled like a
snake, ready to rise.
S. Ready to rise?
J. The serpent energy rises upward as you mature, step-by-step.
Each step goes higher, from the sacrum to the spleen, then to the
solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the brow of your forehead and
finally to the crown of your head. The Kundalini rises through a
ladder of chakras.
S. What are chakras?
J. They are subtle forms of energy in your body. As you grow up
with self-restraint and discipline, your energy moves up this
ladder. It no longer sits like a coiled snake.
S. What is this energy?
J. Divine. This energy is the architecture of the soul. The ladder
goes from earth to heaven. Our mountain climbers are on their
way.
S. Now they are at the top …what will happen?
J. They are falling in love. Normally, they would have sex. That’s
fine. But they have a choice. When the Kundalini rises with
discipline, it leads toward heaven. The purpose of this hidden
ladder, ultimately, is to move into a higher consciousness.
S. They will have sex all. Believe me, I know.
J. We’ll see. They should not repress their sexual energy. But if
they channel and transform the energy of that serpent …something
new could happen.
S. What?
J. They could find a greater wholeness.
S. What do you mean? Sex is not good for them?
J. Sex is great for them but so very common.
S. Common!
J. Sex is exciting but ordinary, so typical. In this case, our climbers
will exchange energies at a higher level.
S. Go on…
J. Their energies will meet. The growth of the mind widens the
range of consciousness. They will transform.
S. Transform into what?
J. The highest love is Agape.
S. Agape?
J. We shall see. They could find Supreme Bliss together. When the
Heart opens, it feels like a lover calling inside… The Hindus say,
“Bliss is the peak of transcendence.” Listen.
Song (Bar #830)
Look at the moon. Glory to the heavens! You sail in a black
blue vault across the sky among billions of stars all like eyes
looking at us below. Now the wind is sweeping through all the
trees. This sounds like the ocean waves beating across the seas
endlessly. Now visions come forth to me and say: all things
transform and transcend on this night. We move from one life
to “other lives” on our way to higher heavens. We are safe.
You are not in danger. I know snakes. I’m a scientist. Snakes will
not bite you way up there. The winds do speak! You have nothing
fear. It is only currents of air. The winds say we will dream
tonight. Can the winds speak to me? Yes, tonight. So we can now
dream this night and find some peace. I hope you are okay now.
Yes. The dark builds up for something to happen tonight. Can
you hear the wind speaks to us right now; listen. Oh. Oh. Oh.
It says we will transform and transcend somewhere this night.
(What?) I feel the breeze on my brow now. It says we will
transform during sleep in our dreams tonight. What? Well,
have no fear. The night and moon are one. Well, since I am a
biochemist and I think scientifically so you need not worry. I want
you only to be safe, warm and at peace. Life has much more to
offer than just fear -- so be comfortable with me.
Rest beneath the wings of prayer, and the ground of dreams. I
am so glad to be here near you with the moon damp as a
mushroom. It's okay now. I’m fine. Teach me one more poem of
night. Peace falls upon my breast like dew falling to sod. Oh, I
think scientifically and so I have much to learn from you. I feel a
calm majestic presence in this night, like a blessing. Yes I can
no longer be objective and now I say good night to you for it is
getting late. Now you can dream peacefully about the stars above.
Good night. Okay. Good night.
I have never been so happy in my life -- never before on a
mountaintop -- all night. Fresh breezes. What joy. Let us dream
good thoughts tonight and watch the sun rise in the morning. Now
sleep. I must rise early. Sleep well. Yes. We might dream of our
meeting here (Together) Sweet dreams, Sleep well. (Sleep well.)
I think we will dream of our meeting on a mountain under the
stars by the moon.
Yang (Animus): They have gone to sleep.
Ying (Anima: We can talk to them now. Shh.
Act IV We can talk now (Bar #1009)
J. Now they will dream. They will discover more about who they
are – and who they could be.
S. What happens?
J. You are a scientist.
S. Yes.
J. With the right chemistry, they will transform into something
new. They are deeply attracted to one another. Um…like atoms.
Atoms join and transform into molecules.
S. And then molecules join and become cells and cells tie the knot
to become organisms.
J. And so it goes in evolution. Each stage something loses its old
way and gains a new way of being. It’s a synthesis all the way.
S. Male and female. Opposites. Are they evolving?
J. Yes. The conscious and unconscious are also opposites. In their
dream they lose consciousness. They will go beyond their mind.
S. Beyond their mind? Madness?
J. A dream can look like madness. But that’s where we learn.
Nature keeps mixing differences into something new.
S. Something new will happen to them?
J. Jack and Jane have the power to grow beyond their old selves. I
call it “self-realization.” They transcend the past.
S. What happens now?
J. Let me tell you. (He looks to the singers.)
Am I Dreaming?
Jane = Bold. Jack= plain.
Yin and Yang = Both are Bold Italics
Am I dreaming? Are we dreaming?
Yes, you are here with us in spirit. You are safe with us. We can
talk with you now.
What happened to us? Why are we here?
You loved and you merged as one when you were sleeping so
high... Where are we? Where are we?
You are beyond the earth in spirit. Way beyond your earth and
mind and body.
Who are you? Tell us who you are.
We are your guardians. We are here to help you. You could call
us Yin and Yang. The two of us are one.
What? The two of you are one. Why did you come here?
When you fall in love you touch eternity. It is like going to
heaven for a moment. But you have to learn much more.
More what? My friend is depressed.
Why are you here?
You brought great joy to your lives on the mountain and now you
can see more: The Majesty of love. Oh! (Majesty?) Yes. An
incredible power that created all of nature. What do you mean?
You are born here in this Majesty. The greatest love in the whole
world... In the universe. What does this mean?
Your love is a romance. Love is greater than you think. Share it
with all others. You can go beyond your grief. You have the
power. Romance is just the first stage of love on earth. You’re
growing. The Light itself is evolving through you. You came to
this world trailing light behind you. You came on earth for a
purpose. (Why are you here on earth?) I don’t know. We know
so little. You have a mission here. To love one another is the way
to do what nature does -- as it would seek to become as One. (The
way to infinite possibility.) I do not understand. Your life on earth
is just beginning. Now use the power of the sun … to transform.
Live a full life.
For what? A greater life.
We have violence and wars to stop and deep valleys of despair to
transform before heaven comes to earth.
Say YES to your life.
His heart is sad. The sadness in his heart is keeping him from
seeing that powerful Light.
What? Your souls want to meet as one. You each have the
energies of the other. Meet as one. Become as One.
Learn from great spiritual masters. They climbed mountains and
lived on deserts. They devoted their lives to humankind.
That's a lot.
You brought great joy to your life on the mountain and now you
can feel more of the Majesty of love. Majesty. Majesty?
An incredible power that created us in Nature. So what does that
mean?
You were born in this universe in this Fundament of love.
Fundament? What does it mean?
It means (a great Presence). It means the ground on which the
universe was created.
To find this great love seek its depth and expansiveness. Love
each other deeper. You could meditate each day. Like a priest?
Listen to them. I am sorry but this is only a dream. I study nature.
I am a scientist. It’s time to change.
Be like “nature” moving beyond all grief to build new life.
(Build a new life.)
What ? Look to your forefathers. What?
Abraham wore fire as an anklet Moses spoke to the sea and
Solomon rode the wind. (He rode with the wind.)
These are legends. Listen to them. Where do you live?
Where there is no East or West Where there is no Male or
Female beyond your world but hidden inside. Look, I am a
scientist I study the sun.
Be the sun now inside you.
I’m a biochemist who studies flowers and trees and the bees and
the power of stars….
Don’t just study nature as a “thing.”
Become those birds and all those bees. They are your ancestors,
the cause for your being. Their “being” transcended inside you.
Their power is in you. The power of the sun is in you. The power
of healing…
Listen to what they say! Listen.
You need to feel the power of the sun. The sun sings through
you.
Can you help him? We cannot help him without you.
He is in pain. The cure is in the pain. What should he do?
Become like the trees. Be like nature. Cry like the trees in the
wind at night. Cry like the trees? You are inside the breath of
God. Within the breath; (Within of the Great Presence) inside the
Power and the Glory.
This is only a dream, Oh. Your dream…Your dream is real. I
live in reality. In your house of reality, you should treat feeling as
a guest.
As a guest?
Each morning brings a new visitor like sadness or happiness; a
whole crowd of feelings. A whole crowd of feelings? One could
be joy or happiness. Welcome them all! And then let the sun rise.
We’ll stay nearby….
Where did they go? Where they go? I can barely hear.
Come back. Come back and tell us what you said once again.
Treat this grief as a guest in your house. Ev'ry morning brings a
new feeling; you should treat each with honor and respect. Ev'ry dark feeling -- like grief, shame, fear, and even rage -- meet
them laughing. Yes. They are the rags of old clothes that cover
up who you are. Then let the sun rise before you. Dream in your
reality. The sun is there inside. Be the sun in the morning. At
noontime, speak personally to the rocks. Sing. Sing to the
flowers. Let them sing back to you.
Where are they? They are gone. I want to learn more. They
seem gone. Gone from us.
We will follow you down the mountain. (Yes.)
Act V Going Down the Mountain (Bar # 311)
S. Wow! That was something!
J. Now they are moving toward a higher place…a greater
wholeness is coming upon them,
S: (Leans closer) Wholeness?
J. It might become holiness. But Jack is not Saint John of the
Cross… and Jill is not Saint Teresa of Avila. Self-denial in sex,
celibacy, can be saintly but only when you are ready.
S. I’m not ready.
J. When people are intimate without sex, they exchange energies
and move to a new place. For example, St. John and St. Teresa had
a mystical, spiritual marriage.
S. They experienced intimacy without sex?
J. They were soulfully connected.
S. To love and to be loved is sweet to me. And all the more when I
feel the enjoyment of a woman’s body.
J. Yet, you are depressed.
S. Yes. I drag a bloody soul. I have wept and tormented myself.
J. What do you think Jack will do in this story?
S. If he is like me, he will be full of indecision, He will make many
motions with his body, like men do when they will to act but
cannot.
J. He is like you.
S. I do not know. (His head goes down.)
J. You could become balanced like Yin and Yang. You could even
become one, neither male nor female. Let me tell you the rest of
the story.
Song
Jack = plain. Jill = Bold. Angels (Yin/Yang) = Italics Bold
Oh. God. My God. Are you awake? Oh! Look at the sunrise.
Yes. Look. It's time, yes; time to measure the spectrum. What a
night! I had a dream. I had a dream. And you were there with
me. Oh?
What was your dream? There were two odd people. You mean:
two in one. You were there! Yes. My God! I did not understand
what they were saying, I did! Who were they? They said: “We
are Nature." Who? Yin and Yang. What? Who? I do not know
them. They are Nature’s Lovers. Oh Yes. Lovers? What? It's
just a theory… just a theory. Can I see those Lovers?
No. Some things you can't see. What do you mean? Tell me. Can
you see your feelings? No. I cannot see them. Yin/Yang say the
universe is inside you with its power transformed. This power
in me? Power in your body, transcended from the sun to you.
What? Well, I have hydrogen inside me. Oh, tell me more about
it please.
Hydrogen burns with Oxygen. Is this the fuel of the sun? Yes!
You have the sun inside. Hydrogen transcended inside your own
body. I hear you. What's that? Tell me about hydrogen.
Hydrogen “bonds” with other atoms to gain charges that are
positive and negative.
This is Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang. Life evolves by combining
and joining Yin and Yang. Life hangs on the balance of Yin
and Yang -- working hard (What?) together. (hard to
synthesize!)
Well. Let's go back down the mountain. But you have not
measured the spectrum yet. I forgot. How are you feeling now?
Much better. I think our dream is with us as we walk down this
mountain.
Look at those butterflies aren't they beautiful? Yes. How can we be
two and be one at the same time? I don't get it. Listen close to
your heart. Oh. Seeds in the spring begin to become trees and
(What?) then they are no longer seeds as they transform
themselves. Did you hear something?
I heard that a seed transforms and transcends into a tree. I
notice that all things are changing. You just looked at a butterfly
and it changed you. Oh. How can a caterpillar know what it is
like to be a butterfly? What was that? No "thing." How can a
seed know that it will some day become a flower? What was that?
Someone spoke to you.
Let us rest here.
Let me ask you a question. Yes. What will you do when you get
home? Go back to work. Do you have any friends back home?
Frankly… No, not really good friends. The wind has secrets for
you. What? The rocks and the trees and the plants (What?) are
all your very best friends. The wind says to walk like a tiger
under those trees below and it will give you a new life. It will
blow sweet perfume across the forest and bring you home.
Your great soul will bring you home. What? If you follow love,
you will be able to hear us. You have to invent a new way like
nature does each day. Nature evolves and transcends.
I have one question. Yes?
Were you ever in love? I am in love with all these flowers, like
those roses and bluebells. Look! See those rocky cliffs there
and those trees. See those great birds up there so high. But all
those birds above will die and will no longer fly.
Look. Death is but a moment, in time nothing ever dies. We all
live on forever. Remember our dream? I forgot. Have you read
about all the lovers in romance history? What! Have you read
"Cupid and Psyche?" No I have not! How about Daphnis and
Chloe? I have not Orpheus and Eurydice? No Heroe and
Leandro? No What about Tristan and Isolde? I'm afraid I have
not! What about Romeo and Juliet? Surely… Yes, I do know
that story. Well! They were all about the tragedy of love. Each
love ended in a state of grief. What else could be possible?
The Divine in all. Yes. Now I remember. There is a higher love
in this world. If you sing with Nature you might find a love
that goes beyond all the romance we know. Who could teach me
this kind of love? Notice the thunder and rain and the flowing
rivers down to the sea with eagles flying high above in the sky.
Tell me what IS the sun in your own eyes. Tell me the story of the
sun so bright out there. What does the sun say to you?
The sun says: “No one has MY memories. Oh, if I were not in
love no one else would be in love.”
My God. What does that mean? No one else would love? The sun
transcended into your soul. You are the child of the sun
birthed in the power of its love. The power of the sun
transcended in you. Transcended! Yes. I understand. The sun and
(Yes) the earth were created four billion years ago. What's in it?
Helium. For you? And hydrogen. It's on fire, burning.
(Transforming, fusing) That’s deep love. (Synthesizing) burning
with love (producing) burning with love (on fire) burning in love
(making love, Oh!) burning deeply so deeply in love, in love, all
that is bitter becomes sweet (Yes) and all that is (Yes) pain
turns into joy and then to bliss [counterpoint] (becomes
happiness then Joy, more than you could know) (to Yes, Yes, to
joy, delight, and then to Bliss) That is a dream. What can and we
know? (To ecstasy) It's just not true. (Paradise and Bliss.)
Can you hear Yin and Yang singing? I can hear them singing
with the wind. Now you will hear them singing behind you. Soon
you will hear them singing right through you. Oh help me there!
ACT VI Help me there (Bar 291)
J. Did you understand what Yin and Yang are saying?
S. Not really.
J. We evolved from our solar system. That solar energy
transformed into the center of the earth.
S. The center is hotter than hot.
J. Everything evolves from within. That heat is in you,
transformed. The boiling center of the earth is your ancestor. You
should know that as a scientist.
S. The earth’s center is hot, close to temperature of the sun.
J. Part of this solar system evolved into the earth, and cooled into
rocks and re-formed into cells on the sea.
S. And the cells transformed into organisms and animals, and apes
and Homo sapiens. So I get it. It’s evolution
J. Evolution is based on a synthesis of opposites right from the
start…Jane said the sun had to be in love.
S. Fantasy.
J. Yin-and-Yang say: it is a story of love from the beginning of
time.
S. What!
J. This boiling heat, this passion transformed and transcended into
your body. It changed and became your Dragon in the base of your
spine.
S. No.
J. You study the sun outside. But someone said: “You are the light
of the world.
S. Light of the world.
J. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. They put it
on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
S. Who was that?
J. He said: Let your light shine before others, so that they may see
your good works and give glory to heaven.
S. Fantasy. It is only a dream.
J. You put your light under a basket. It’s no wonder that you are…
S. … depressed. (Upset. Silence.)
J. Do not sit on this power. Bring your light forward into the world
– let it shine into the darkness. Listen.
Song
You know, we are made by what you call energy. One grand
great life throbs through us to help us all become as One.
What’s that mean?
I learned from our dream -- How we live in Glory. Oceans
become our raiment in this love. We are part of the majestic
Source of creation… hidden in the earth, beyond what we see
here on this mountain. The sunrise tells us to bring light into
the dark. Bring light into darkness.
(Looking at Jack and Jill off stage.) They have become lovers, on
their way into the majesty of love. They are part of a symphony
cascading rhythmically through the spheres.
I can feel it. It feels like I am changing. (Transforming). I am
feeling something new...
When you go back to teaching, can I come to your class -- as
just a guest? Yes. I would be honored. Will you write a poem for
my science journal? Yes. I would be delighted. I could write
about our experience with nature.
Look at those lilies there. (Consider how the Lilies grow so
naturally.) Can you hear Yin Yang singing? Yes I hear them.
They sing through you beyond your sense and thought. They
are singing through me.
Let’s sing as one.
There is a way between voice and heaven in the great radiance
of all moons… in the power of fi-'ry suns. The beauty of the
heart is forever. May the depth of the sea be with us on our way.
May we be supported with the firmament in earth and sky. All
water below comes from above. Clouds give to the rivers that
give to the seas. We float on clouds that become water and all
waters sing back from depths where nothing is ever forgotten. So
let’s give our selves to the great Majesty of God’s whole creation.
Oh my God!
Look at that waterfall. I hear music now. (He hears.) The Falls
are singing. What do they say? Give me all your rules of evidence
and I will break them on the rocks below. What do you mean?
This love has nothing to do with my eyes or ears. This love does
not make much sense to me. What could it be? It comes from my
feelings… just that! I have no empirical evidence to show you
what I do experience on this mountaintop. Oh my. Love is infinite;
by all I know: Infinite. Tell me more.
This feeling goes beyond my reasoning. It’s intuition, my gut. I do
not know. It is you, not just your mind, not just your
science…It may have something to do with you. I admit. I am in
love with flowers and bees and rocks and trees. Oh I have met
someone on the trail who can talk to me about poetry and why we
all came to be. I’m in love with you. And I love you by the
powers of the Divine working its way through Nature to you
and me.
Through you I can hear the sun like I never heard before, never in
my whole life has my heart sung to me.
Now listen. Just listen. Can you hear this song?
Oh Divine love is far beyond just romance. It is more than falling
in love with one person. When you feel Divine love, you feel
Beauty, Compassion and great Tenderness. Your heart stays
open. You are totally changing and transcending. What you see
on the outside is transformed. All elements become part of you
each altered into a higher plane of life. Listen. Listen to the wind
and it'll bring you a song. Listen to the rocks and they'll sing
along. Hearts keep opening into Nature and you find peace in
your highest soul.
Can you recall our dream? Yes. There is a Majesty of Love
where grief and joy just come and go. But this Majestic Presence
never leaves. He’s got it.
I am in love. I see wind blowing through the grass and I am
thrilled by the sight. What has happened to me? He’s healing. Oh.
I’m in love. I’m in love.
Come with us now. You hear beyond the mind alone. I’m with
you. Right on. (Amen) Right on. (Amen) Move on. (Amen) We
are both in love. You are married in spirit. Is it true?
I feel right. I feel whole. Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes,
Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh Yes, Yes, Oh
Yes. We pronounce that you are in love. You are healed. You are
one with Nature. The sun and the moon and all of us are with
you. Halleluiah. Halleluiah. Halleluiah. Amen. Our work is
done. You are healed as one. You are healed as two in one. Now
friends, we take you to be lawfully wedded in nature. We are
both in love. Born by the Holy Sea of Matrimony. We declare the
two of you as One. One (One, One, One.)
