The Mother of Our Country

A to jest piosenka postaci z Esencji, która śpiewa tak jak poniżej:

The Essence is like the earth that is always there for us, yet whose presence we do not always pay attention to. It is like a seed from which the plants grow, the origin of the Inten­tional Field, and the mother of manifest things.

The Essence and Art

When I was creating my musical puppet theater in which all of the puppets speak about their deepest longings and what they want to be "when they grow up, an Essence figure arose who wanted to be "The Mother of Our Country." She represents the loving earth and sings:

I'll Be a home, to the courageous
and the ones who run scared
I'll be a home to the animals
From the mountains to the air
I'll Be the mother of our country
from the mountains to the seas
The earth that we walk on
that allows us to be.

She embodies the nondualistic world that is beneath the polar­ities of Consensus Reality and Dreamland, the common ground that we share. This common ground, "the Tao that can't be said," can be difficult to formulate. Yet when I sing or listen to that song, I feel I am able to connect with this open and generative well-spring.
Just as the Essence goes by various names in psychology and religion, such as spirit, oneness, and the transpersonal, I have been excited to discover that it is also described in a variety of art forms. In the next pages I'd like to share a few of these artistic Essence descriptions with you that I have been studying. At the end of this chapter, I mention a few practical methods aimed at getting to the deep Essence behind our experiences; later we will apply these methods in some of the exercises.

Agnieszka Kramm zaproponowała poniższą wersję spolszczenia "Matki naszej ziemi" - przy okazji, ta piosenka w wykonaniu AMY była obecna na You Tube:

I'll Be a home, to the courageous
and the ones who run scared
I'll be a home to the animals
From the mountains to the air
I'll Be the mother of our country
from the mountains to the seas
The earth that we walk on
that allows us to be.



Będę domem dla odważnych

I dla przerażonych

Będę domem dla zwierząt

Tych górskich i tych uskrzydlonych

Będę matką naszej ziemi

Od morza po góry

Ziemią którą wędrujemy

Która pozwala nam być (która daje nam życie?)
