Ashes and Dust
sat nam
Fire in Manipura - 3rd chakra.
FIRE IN FIRE
TRANSFORMATION
Here we are able to reduce any substance into its most refined, essential form.
The disintegration of matter into ashes and dust, can also be done on the level of awareness traveling from matter into pure consciousness.
ANGER- THE FIRE DRAGON
The dragon, the robber of ones attention and prana in the fire element, is Anger.
When anger takes over, there is no ability to think or act from clear awareness, everything becomes an amplified burning reaction.
Accumulated frustration, a build up of a sense of injustice - personal, environmental, political, etc. ignites the fire of anger.
However, underneath the surface, lies a reservoirs of pure energy - Prana Shakti - with its potential to move and transform.
It can become Sacred Rage - which is the fuel for revolution - personal or social.
This energy can be used for burning up blockages and impurities from the whole physical/mental system, disintegrating residues that do not serve the system, and keep transforming them into energy that can be applied for healing and for creating.

From Fear to Trust
A few months ago, in another room here at Moa - Oasis, I have recorded a talk with Sami Awad - A Palestinian peace activist. ( I had no idea then that I will be here by myself for the 40 days journey…)
Sami is an inspiring man, who is committed to a continues personal and collective transformation; from fear to love and trust.
In this talk he tells about his journey, and about a very meaningful turning point in his perception of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, which took place in his visit to Auschwitz.
Today in Israel we commemorate the Holocaust of the Jewish people in Europe.
So it feels like a good moment to remember and to use the memory as an invitation for change, an invitation for compassion and peace.
( the full podcast episode is 1 hour and 16 min)
Ashes and Dust
This song is a dedication of a worried son to his mother- a holocaust survivor, before her journey to visit her hometown in Poland years after the war.
A spring day, the smell of lilacיום אביב ריחות לילך
Amongst the ruins of your cityבין חורבות העיר שלך
A beautiful day to fish in the riverיום יפה לדוג בנהר
My heart is broken inside בתוכי הלב נשבר
There it was and it wasn'tשם היתה ואינה
Your childhood, little womanילדותך אישה קטנה
People that no-one knowsאנשים שאיש לא מכיר
There isn't even a house for a reminder אין אפילו בית שיזכיר
And if you're going, where are you goingואם את נוסעת לאן את נוסעת
For eternity is just ashes and dustהנצח הוא רק אפר ואבק
Where are you going, where are you goingלאן את נוסעת לאן את נוסעת
Years and nothing is erased…שנים וכלום עוד לא נמחק.
Take a coat, it'll be coldקחי מעיל יהיה לך קר
Money in your pocket, a sugar cubeכסף כיס, גביש סוכר
If the days are hardאם יהיו קשים הימים
Remember me sometimesהזכרי בי לפעמים
And if it's another journey of despair ואם זה עוד מסע נואש
To the hut, to the plotאל הצריף, אל המגרש
On the old town’s railway track במסילת העיר הישנה
No one will wait in the stationאיש לא יחכה בתחנה.
And if you're going, where are you going ואם את נוסעת...
Who will sweeten your nightsמי ימתיק לילותייך
Who will listen to your cryמי יקשיב לביכייך
Who will watch over you, as you walk מי ישמור צעדייך בדרכך.
where are you goingלאן את נוסעת לאן את נוסעת
For eternity is just ashes and dustהנצח הוא רק אפר ואבק
where are you goingלאן את נוסעת לאן את נוסעת
Years ago, and nothing is erased שנים וכלום עוד לא נמחק.
Take a coat, it'll be coldקחי מעיל יהיה לך קר.
-Yaakov Gilad & Yehuda Poliker
