The Hunger of the Tiger excerpt, rough translation, (original text down below)

The hind abandonning herself to the bellow in the night of a spring of Chambord ignores the consequences of the satisfaction of her desires, as is the male covering her. The cats fighting for a she-cat in a public square and keeping a thousand Parisians from sleeping ignore that the move of the victor will generate kittens. The flower of the bindweed doesn't know that it will become seed. The bindweed doesn't know why it is blooming.

It seems _ it seems : we can't be sure of anything regarding animal consciousness and we are even more ignorant about vegetable psychism _ it seems mankind is the one amongst living things to make a connection of cause and consequences between the sexual act and childbirth. Some australian tribes, it is said, haven't still got the relation. As for the humans supposedly civilized who know perfectly well that sex is the instrument of reproduction, they are nontheless conditionned in a way that they generally forget the purpose and plainly let themselves drive by the mean, that is by the desire, as is the cat in the square or the stag of Chambord.

("La biche qui s'offre au dix-cors dans la nuit d'un printemps de Chambord ignore les conséquences de la satisfaction de son désir, comme l'ignore le mâle qui la couvre. Les chats qui se battent pour une chatte dans un square et empêchent mille Parisiens de dormir ignorent que le geste du vainqueur se traduira par des chatons. La fleur du liseron ne sait pas qu'elle deviendra graine. Le liseron ne sait pas pourquoi il fleurit."

"Il semble - il semble : nous ne pouvons être sûrs de rien en ce qui concerne la conscience animale et nous sommes encore plus ignorants du psychisme végétal - il semble que l'homme soit le seul parmi les vivants à établir une relation de cause à effet entre l'acte sexuel et l'enfantement. Certaines tribus australiennes n'ont même pas encore, paraît-il, fait le rapprochement. Quant aux hommes dits civilisés qui savent pertinemment que le sexe est l'instrument de la reproduction, ils sont cependant conditionnés de telle façon qu'ils oublient en général le but et se laissent tout bonnement tirer par le moyen, c'est-à-dire par le désir, tout comme le chat du square ou le cerf de Chambord.")

Using and Relinquishing Negativity

"Negativity is totally unnatural. It is a psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the  collective human psyche. No other life-form on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life-form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it. Have you ever seen an unhappy flower or a stressed oak tree? Have you come across a depressed dolphin, a frog that has a problem with self esteem, a cat that cannot relax, or a bird that carries hatred and resentment? The only animals that may occasionally experience something akin to negativity or show signs of neurotic behavior are those that live in close contact with humans and so link into the human mind and its insanity."

"Somebody says something to you that is rude or designed to hurt. Instead of going into unconscious reaction and negativity, such as attack, defense, or withdrawal, you let it pass right through you. Offer no resistance. It is as if there is nobody there to get hurt anymore. That is forgiveness. In this way, you become invulnerable. You can still tell that person that his or her behavior is unacceptable, if that is what you choose to do. But that person no longer has the power to control your inner state. You are then in your power _ not in someone else's, nor are you run by your mind. Whether it is a car alarm, a rude person, a flood, an earthquake, or the loss of all your possessions, the resistance mechanism is the same."

The Power of Now

Produit de la transformation de la cellule initiale et de l'activité de milliards de cellules usines, l'homme ne peut à aucun moment et d'aucune façon intervenir pour diriger leur travail. Il est leur résultat, non leur maître. Il les maltraite, les empoisonne, les asphyxie, les mutile. Elles font face, tant qu'elles peuvent. Quand la mort survient pour l'individu et pour elles, quand la matière vivante se défait et retourne aux éléments, une de ces cellules, ou deux, ou plusieurs parmi des milliards, s'est détachée de l'individu et a transmis la vie et les ordres. La forme de vie que lui et ses semblables sont chargés d'assurer continue. L'individu a servi à cela. Il a servi à maintenir, pour sa part infime, l'énorme courant qui entraîne, parmi tant d'autres, son espèce dans le temps et l'espace.
Né d'une goutte de vie qui porte des ordres, il doit porter plus loin l'une et les autres et faire, quand vient le moment, se détacher de lui des essaims de cellules messagères dont l'une ou deux ou plusieurs porteront plus loin que lui les ordres par lesquels il a vécu et qui lui survivront.
Déterminé par les constituants, emporté par ce qu'il constitue, impuissant à se diriger, ignorant de sa direction, l'être humain n'a qu'une apparence de vie autonome. Son existence individuelle est une supercherie.

Here comes being consistently Alone

"If you are consistently or at least predominantly present in your relationship, this will be the greatest challenge for your partner. They will not be able to tolerate your presence for very long and stay unconscious. If they are ready, they will walk through the door that you opened for them and join you in that state. If they are not, you will separate like oil and water. The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness."

(enlighntened one, prepare to be mostly alone, as conscious people are very rare, or anyone on that path.)

From addictive to enlightened relationships

"Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of "Being" but the "love" of ego. However, the intensity with which true love is felt can vary. There may be one person who reflects your love back to you more clearly and more intensely than others, and if that person feels the same toward you, it can be said that you are in a love relationship with him of her. The bond that connects you with that person is the same bond that connects you with the person sitting next to you on a bus, or with a bird, a tree, a flower. Only the degree of intensity with which it is felt differs.

Even in an otherwise addictive relationship, there may be moments when something more real shines through, something beyond your mutual addictive needs. These are moments when both your and your partner's mind briefly subside and the pain-body is temporarily in a dormant state. This may sometimes happen during physical intimacy, or when you are both witnessing the miracle of childbirth, or in the presence of death, or when one of you is seriously ill _ anything that renders the mind powerless. When this happens, your Being, which is usually buried underneath the mind, becomes revealed, and it is this that makes true communication possible.

Trus communication is communion _the realization of oneness, which is love. Usually, this is quickly lost again, unless you are able to stay present enough to keep out the mind and its old patterns. As soon as the mind and mind identification return, you are no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met. You are a human mind again, pretending to be a human being, interacting with another mind, playing a drama called "love".

Although brief glimpses are possible, love cannot flourish unless you are permanently free of mind identification and your presence is intense enough to have dissolved the pain-body _ or you can at least remain present as the watcher. The pain-body cannot then take you over and so become destructive of love.

Addiction and the search for wholeness (continuation with the book, it's just so deep)

"If in your relationships you experience both "love" and the opposite of love _ attack, emotional violence, and so on _ then it is likely that you are confusing ego attachment and addictive clinging with love. You cannot love your partner one moment and attack him or her the next. True love has no oppostie. If your "love" has an opposite, then it is not love but a strong ego-need for a more complete and deeper sense of self, a need that the other person temporarily meets. Ti is the ego's substitute for salvation, and for a short time it almost does feel like salvation.

But there comes a point when your partner behaves in ways that fail to meet your needs, or rather those of your ego. The feelings of fear, pain and lack that are an intrinsic part of egoic consciousness but had been covered up by the "love relationship" now resurface. Just as with every other addiction, you are on a high when the drug is available, but invariably there comes a time when the drug no longer works for you. When those painful feelings reappear, you feel them even more strongly than before, and what is more, you now perceive your partner as the cause of those feelings. This means that you project them outward and attack the other with all the savage violence that is part of your pain. This attack may awaken the partner's own pain, and he or she may counter your attack. At this point, the ego is still unconsciously hoping that its attack or its attempts at manipulation will be sufficient punishment to induce your partner to change their behavior, so that it can use them again as a cover-up for your pain.

-

Avoidance of relationships in an attempt to avoid the pain is not the answer either. The pain is there anyway. Three failed relationships in as many years are more likely to force you into awakening than three years on a desert island or shut away in your room. But if you could bring intense presence into your aloneness, that would work for you too."

Portals into the Unmanifested (the question of "love")

"It's up to you to open a portal in your life that gives you conscious access to the Unmanifested. Get in touch with the energy field of the inner body, be intensely present, disidentify from the mind, surrender to what is; these are all portals you can use -- but you only need to use one.

Surely love must also be one of those portals?

No, it isn't. As soon as one of the portals is open, love is present in you as the "feeling-realization" of oneness. Love isn't a portal; it's what comes through the portal into this world. As long as you are completely trapped in your form identity, there can be no love. Your task is not to search for love but to find a portal through which love can enter."
