We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves
after a journey that no one can take for us, or spare us.

The BHAGAVAD GITA is an ancient Sanskrit text comprising 700 verses of the Mahabharata. The verses, using the range and style of Sanskrit meter (chandas) with similes and metaphors, are very poetic; hence the title, which translates to “the Song of the Divine One”, of Bhagavan in the form of Krishna. It is revered as sacred by the majority of Hindu traditions, and especially so by followers of Krishna. In general speech it is commonly referred to as The Gita. The content of the Bhagavad Gita is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna’s confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a famous warrior and Prince and elaborates on number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy.
PHOTOGRAPH: taken during the 1930s in the workshop of Madame Tussauds wax museum in London. The museum was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud (1761–1850) who was born in Strasbourg, France. Her mother worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modelling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. Tussaud created her first wax figure, of Voltaire, in 1777.

THE ONE
I look into a mirror and see your face reflected there.
My Other Self…. You Are Who I Am.
We Are One, Separated: In space, in time, embodied.
Tragically torn in two by ignorance and flesh!
I have yearned for you…knowing you are there…yet, not knowing where!
Enduring alone for a billion, billion years….
Separation is pain…. My pain. Your pain. Our Pain.
Two Halves of a Single Soul, Female / Male: Two halves of a Whole.
I Search, and Seek, and Yearn for you!
We have been Lost! Immortally! Still, my passion is to merge with you!
A Perfect Union of Our Single Selves: Complete, and Whole Again!
You ARE Me. WE are WE. Your Thought is My Thought.
I Am You, Within You…. You ARE Within ME….
NOW, and Always, NOW!
Suddenly, I’ve found you! We are here!
The barriers are gone! We are aware!
Our Journey has begun….travelling as One!
On Earth we can sit together by a fire, warming our bodies in the sun.
Drinking. Smoking. Talking. Laughing. Reminiscing. Remembering. Rediscovering.
Embracing, Caressing, Touching, Searching, Reaching, Recognizing,
Wishing, Wanting, Holding, Opening, Inviting, Kissing
Warm and Wet Welcoming, Probing, Pervading, Penetrating …
Hard and Soft Entering, Strong and Gentle Blending
Lusting, Thrusting, Pulsing…Pounding…Bursting!
Your Senses Are My Senses. Your Pleasure is My Desire!
Rhythmically Rising, Writhing, Resounding, Quivering, Quaking, Shuddering….
All-Consuming! Releasing! Exploding! Fulfilling!
Merging, Blending, Releasing into delightful, joyful, Unity!
Again! Again! Again! Again!
A Single Flame is Bright: Twin Flames – United — are a SOURCE of LIGHT!
Irresistible Attraction! Unquenchable Desire! Together. Inseparable.
We Are an Eternal Flame of Love!
