For 20 years I have stood behind the scenes and humbly translated James Mahu's writings from English into Czech. Apart from the occasional short informative message about releasing a new Czech translation, you have not known me except through the Czech language versions of James' texts. Twenty years spent with these texts and their translations goes a long way. Nine extensive novels, dozens of articles, hundreds of poems, certainly over ten thousand pages of translated text in all. Thanks to this extensive translation work, Czech language has probably become the only other language, after the English original, in which James's complete published works exist. I became aware of this fact a few years ago, and through this realization, I came to understand that my knowledge of James' work and his perspectives is absolutely unique and is so valuable that it is worth offering it as my personal author contribution to James Mahu's works, so that the international community of readers, students and practitioners will have a different perspective than James', but one that vibrates with a deep understanding, so that it has the ability to illuminate the topics discussed with a new light of knowledge.

So I began writing my own original texts, commentaries on James' works, creating illustrative graphics, various clarifying diagrams, and even creating meditative videos - all springing from, loosely building on, and further developing the philosophical concepts presented by James in his works. I had been searching for this unique voice within myself for a long time and at first I could not distinguish it from James' voice, which I translated into the Czech language. I listened carefully to the source of this inner wisdom within me until I realized that it was my unique connection to the Integral aspect of consciousness. That this voice is coming from my activated Sovereign-Integral Communication Interface and is my unique, Sovereign quality that is different from, but in alignment with, that of James.

When I gave trust to this newly discovered voice within me, a whole new level of my own creativity began to open up. In a way one could say that it is still a creation of translation, but this time not of James's words, but a translation of information from other dimensions of existence, or as James says, from another space-time. One in which we have the possibility of experiencing ourselves as "I am We are". As the consciousness of the Sovereign Integral. The metaphor of time travel is very appropriate for this activity indeed. It is experienced as traveling to a future time to find our future self, experiencing that future self and its faculties and abilities, and then returning to the present moment with an activated memory of the future in which we have acquired those faculties and abilities. This activation of the memory of the future causes us to be able to express those faculties and abilities in the present moment, thus speeding up our time as well as the time of those with whom we interact. And with the Internet, there are many with whom we interact.

What are the faculties and abilities that are actually being discussed? First and foremost, of course, the ability to be kind and loving. The ability to express imperfect unconditional love. Then also the valor to express my unique perspective publicly and offer it to all my brothers and sisters in our human family as my personal contribution in the form of an open heart offered in the palm of an arm reaching out into your local universe to radiate authentic human warmth, trust and hope. This is my intention.

My creativity will be bi-lingual because bridging languages is precisely that aspect of intelligence in which the ability to understand the unknown is activated. Let this symbolic language bridge become our stepping board into a world of imagination in which diversity is a well-understood and therefore appreciated aspect of the structure of the Language of Unity, which is the meta-language of all existence.

In Love Integral
