Study group (contemplation) The book of mirdad

Hello journey friends, I would like to invite you for a beautiful opportunity to participate in a new journey that will last a few months. We will open a study group, which I prefer to call a contemplation group. . In this study group we will study the magnificent, indescribable and unique '' The Book of Mirdad ''.

The Indian mystic Osho mentions "The Book of Mirdad" in his work A Song Without Words, saying that "I didn't just like (the book) - I read thousands of books and none are comparable to this one". I met this book a few years ago, and it was it that opened the path for me that I follow today. It was he who brought me tears for no reason and profound achievements that never stopped. I read this book a few times, about seven times, and each time I read it brings me a new realization.

The mirdad book was written by Lebanese Mikhail Naimy, a working friend of Khalil Gibran. The legend The Book of Mirdad can be considered as one of the many texts that have been handed down to mankind since the beginning of time and that belong to the Universal Doctrine. Therefore, it bears the signature of the living truth. In our times of great change and revaluation of values, The Book of Mirdad is a torch of universal light for seeking humanity. Written in a poetic language, rich in multiple images, radiating softness, understanding love, it gives proof of the original source to which the author testifies.

This study group will take place once a week, on Sundays at 17hrs, lasting about 1h30. The meeting will be in person and online at the same time, the person will be in São Paulo in the ipiranga neighborhood, and online will be through Zoom and all meetings will be recorded so you can retrieve the content if you are unable to attend. It is not mandatory to have the book, but if you feel you can order through amazon. I (willy) will read the book each meeting, and comment as insights emerge and participants can contribute their insights and questions so that we can unravel the mystery behind the words.

The group will have an indefinite time because we don't know how long it will take to finish the book, but I believe about 3 months. The contemplation group will have 3 values so that you can adapt to what is best for you at the moment.

Amount per month

Basic value: 90

Suggested value: 145

The meeting is a moment of contemplation and not of mental "study". It is like going to church, to a temple or being in the middle of nature contemplating a beautiful work. You are invited to join us. If you have any questions please send a message.

Here are some of Osho's lines about the book:

'' Mirdad's book can be of immense help if you don't wait, and it's a book worth reading hundreds of times. You cannot understand the oceanic meaning in just one reading, because on every page, in each chapter, in each line, there is a possibility. ''

The mirad book is one of the most powerful tools created in our age. Do not read like any other book. Do not fire wood as you read the Bible or the Bhagavadgita. Read like beautiful poetry, a song exposed on the pages. Read as a message from a meditation master. ''

'' It is a book to be read with the heart, and not with the mind. It is not a book to be understood, but experienced. ''

'' The mirdad book should be in every home, it is so precious. It touches your heart. Just don't create expectations and it will help you immensely on your way. ''

Here are some quotes from the book:

THE CREATIVE WORD Veiled are your eyes with a great number of veils. Each thing you look at is a veil. Your lips are sealed with a great number of seals. Every word you utter is a seal. Things, whatever their forms and species, are only veils and bandages with which Life is tied and veiled. How can your eyes, which are in themselves a veil and a bandage, lead you to something other than bandages and veils? And the words? Aren't they sealed by letters and syllables? How can your lips, which are seals in themselves, babble something other than a seal? The eyes can watch, but they cannot penetrate the veils. The lips can seal, but they cannot break the seals. Do not ask them for anything more than they can give. This is the part that touches them in the activity of the body and they do it well. To penetrate beyond the veils you need eyes other than those with eyelids and eyebrows, and to break the precise seals of lips other than those of flesh. First, see your eyes correctly, if you want to see other things correctly. If you do not see and speak correctly, you will see nothing but yourself and you will speak nothing but yourself. If, therefore, your world is an indecipherable enigma, it is because you yourselves are indecipherable enigmas. And if your speech is a deplorable confusion, it is because you are that deplorable confusion. Leave things as they are and make no effort to change them. Because they seem to be what they seem because of what you look like. If they speak harshly to you, pay attention to your tongues. If you look ugly, seek ugliness, first and last, in your own eyes. You must not ask for things to put on their veils. Take off your veils yourselves, and they will lose yours. The key to removing the veils from yourself and breaking your own seals is a word that you must carry forever stuck on your lips. It is the smallest and largest of all words. Mirdad called it THE CREATIVE WORD. "I", O monks, is the Creative Word. When you say I, immediately add in your hearts: “God be my refuge from the malignity of the self and my guide to the bliss of the self”, for in that word, although so small, the soul of all people is closed other words. Your self is nothing more than your awareness of Being, silent and incorporeal, which becomes sonorous and corporeal. It is the inaudible that becomes audible; the invisible that becomes visible; the vision that allows them to see what is not seen; hearing that allows them to hear what is not heard. You still have your eyes and your ears attached. And if you do not see with your eyes and do not hear with your ears, you will see nothing and you will hear nothing. Just think that I am, and a sea of thoughts will stir within your heads. This sea is a creation of your self, which is, at the same time, the thinker and the thought. If you have thoughts that stab, that bite, tear you apart, rest assured that only I-in-you gave them the dagger, the teeth or the claws. By merely pronouncing me, you bring to life a multitude of words, each symbol of a thing; each thing, symbol of a world; each world, part of a universe. This universe is the creation of your self, which is, at the same time, the creator and creature. If there are any goblins in your universe, you can be sure that it was your self that created them. As your conscience is, so will your self. According to your self, so will your world. If yours is one, your world will be one; and you will have eternal peace with all the heavenly hosts and the inhabitants of the earth. If your self is multiple, your world will be multiple; and you will be in perpetual war with yourselves and with all creatures in the immeasurable realms of God. The self is the center of your life from which the things that make up the totality of your world radiate and towards which they converge. If it is firm, your world will be firm, and there will be no forces above or below that can divert you to the right or to the left. If it is unstable, your world will be unstable; and you will be a helpless leaf harvested by the terrible whirlwind. Alert! Behold, your world is firm, there is no doubt, only, however, in instability. And your world is certain only in uncertainty. And your world is constant, but only in inconstancy. And your world is one, but only in multiplicity. ''
