Only Heart (retweet poem)

Domesticated self-conditioned
dream-state ghost is thinking up
a virtual reality
to die for.
History, geography,
religion, quantum physics,
general relativity,
but most importantly
psychology self-validate
their own creation.

The mind is but a spider web
that keeps on spinning.
The mind is caught
within that spider web
created by the mind.
The mind can never free itself;
at best it can convince itself
it’s spun a great big web
in which it has ensnared itself.

Only the heart can know
there never was a web.
Only the heart can know itself
and in that knowing know it all.
Only the empty luminous
pure and bliss-filled heart.
