The new 4 commandments
Contact with God, the Almighty
Ramada
That morning, I feel a strong energy building up. I call upon God Almighty in my thoughts. I try to free myself inwardly from all my burdens, to free myself from old obstacles and painful experiences, from my karma. A powerful voice answers within me:
“Yes, my son, I free you from all sins, always and forever.”
This is where my pen stops working at times, which I equate with my mind. Afterwards I have strong impressions of intense events, comprehensive teachings and messages, but later my mind no longer knows anything about them. It has disappeared from my waking consciousness.
Then came the commandments. My consciousness and my pen kicked in again, and it is quite clear that I should write this down and spread it:
The New 4 Commandments
Purity of the soul is the 1st commandment
Love for your neighbor is the 2nd commandment
Mercy to the wicked is the 3rd commandment
Righteousness on earth and in heaven is the 4th commandment
You left and it got dark
– D. Harald Alke (1974) –
You left and it got dark,
It was probably not your fault, but –
when I came home without you
it WAS dark,
It was probably not your fault,
or is it?
You said: I am coming!
– D. Harald Alke (1983) –
You said: I am coming!
You didn’t come.
Not yet.
My thoughts are waiting for you.
My thoughts guide your path.
My thoughts are worried about you.
My thoughts welcomed you.
My thoughts cared for your soul.
My thoughts loved you.
My thoughts slept with you.
My thoughts are still waiting…
A black feather lay on my heart
– D. Harald Alke (1985) –
A black feather lay on my heart…
And my heart wept for the Condor,
For behold, he came too close to the sun
And passed away.
Then my heart wept again,
and two black tears fell beside the pen.
The feather shook when the north wind touched it,
and two black eyes looked at me.
And behold, a proud raven rested at my side
and warmed itself at my heartbeat.
You are closer to me than the proud Condor,
I said,
Krah Krah, she replied,
and I realized,
that it was a Rabin.
You are proud like him,
but you were born of the north wind,
and Odin may know you better than Hugin and Munin.
Since we often meet each other
– D. Harald Alke (1988) –
As we often meet each other
In this and other lives
Growing out of our rain
A constant blessing, constant happiness!
You are the sun
– D. Harald Alke (1988) –
You are the sun
And I am your ray
I am the lightning
and you are the valley
You are the sun
And I am your light
I am the eye
and you are my sight
I am the stream
And you are my poem!
For Verena

Hymn to the Sun
– D. Harald Alke (1988) –
Hymn to the sun
You, my beloved,
are my sun.
And I am the moon.
The shine in my eyes
is the reflection of your light,
your power and your love.
When the world
with its material concerns
pushes itself between our hearts,
the shine
goes out like an eclipse of the moon,
and I await the day
when your love’s light shines for me again!
For Verena

Pappelhain
– D. Harald Alke (1988) –
Your outer branches withstand the storm
and are kissed by the sun,
fragile and powerless the inner ones,
far from the sun.
When I called you, the sun was there in the evening sky,
it wasn’t because of you,
but…
when I hung up it had sunk,
it wasn’t because of you,
but…
Being
– Tobias O. R. Alke –
When life plays a trick on us,
we seem to lose all grip on our environment,
yet these moments strengthen us,
make us grow and give us unimaginable freedoms,
which were beyond our imagination.
With every breath,
with every step,
that we take into the unknown,
we leave our fears and face our gifts,
our being.
Walls come tumbling down and everything seems to crumble
but it is only our ideas and unfulfilled wishes.
This allows us to recognize our true nature …
THE BEING
(Sat Nam)
The star in the sky
– Tobias O. R. Alke –
The sun is a star in the sky.
It radiates warmth and light into the universe, it does this indispensably and constantly.
For a lifetime and longer.
The life she gives with it gives her gratitude and reverence and yet there is nothing,
that can outweigh this gift.
It is a call of love
to all beings of this world to turn to the beautiful, the light
and to ignite their own flame.
Because that is
what every human being carries within them.
It is the guide and source of all being.
Learn to appreciate it
and it will fill you and your neighbors with love.
Fire of the Eyes
– Tobias O. R. Alke –
When the sun rises in the sky
And their rays flood the world,
they resemble the fire in your eyes.
The world turns into a blooming meadow.
Life begins to sprout and grow like a rose
Towards the sun.
The essence of
– Tobias O. R. Alke (2004) –
Things often seem different,
than they really are!
And only if you have the patience,
and takes care of these things,
you can look behind their facades
and recognize their true nature.
The Awakening
– Tobias O. R. Alke (2012) –
Ying and Yang
are like fire and water,
they need each other
like the life of love
and the passion of the closeness of two opposites
that attract each other.
The sound of your voice
is like the cheerful chirping of birds,
while the fiery look in your eyes
is like the first dawn in spring.
When your gaze crosses mine
these opposites merge.
Fire and water form a unity.
A star is born
and the rays of this young sun
flood every corner of its universe with life.
The birth of a universe.
Sincerely,
Tobias
