Day 7 off the Holy of Holies

Still & Quiet

Hummingbird is still on a branch

Looking around

Long thin beak

I heard a chirp too

Hummingbird quiet on a branch.

Today is a new moon

Like a vacuum it pulls

But like the humming bird

I will be still and quiet

Looking around…

Waiting for the time

To spontaneously vibrate my wings

And take off.

Poem By Hudley


The Hierarchy of Libra rules this day of the new moon.

“The human body center correlating with Libra is to be found in the adrenal glands. These glands, when functioning properly, create absolute physical and psychological balance through each organ and it’s processes.”

“May the element of space not rise up as an enemy,

may I see the realm of the blue Buddha.

May the element of water not rise up as enemy,

may I see the realm of the white Buddha.

May the element of earth not rise up as an enemy,

May I see the realm of the yellow Buddha.

May the element of fire not rise up as an enemy,

may I see the realm of the red Buddha.

May the element of air not rise up as an enemy,

May I see the green Buddhas.

May the rainbow of the elements not rise up as enemies,

may I see the realms of all the Buddhas.

May the sounds, lights and rays not rise up as enemies,

may I see the infinite realms of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones.

May I know all the sounds as my own sound,

may I know all lights as my own light

may I know all the rays as my own ray.

May I spontaneously know the bardo as myself,

may I attain the realms of the three Kayas. “
