the word was empty

the word walked into empty space and immediately there was a room with four red walls and a scent of apple candle in the air

the word was claustrophobic in the empty room and so created god to be its furniture and picture window on the outside world

the word looked on the outside world and thought it empty of answers and so created science to make it full of questions

the word in time felt all the answers empty and in its final gasp pointed to the emptiness itself and then the word was empty of the word

its constant breathing drum

crystal clear like a mountain morning bell this sharp existence

the fog of sleep, the mists of mind, the lingering vapor of some melancholy memory have dissipated in a single moment of its meditation

no words can fly within this atmosphere and any that attempt to do so plummet to some flat misunderstanding

amphetamine the wind, hallucongenic shines its light, the smell of ozone is the touch of thunder on its constant breathing drum

alive i am alove

absurd words

have you heard?
in the beginning was the word
and the word was absurd.
the first was slurred,
the second was third,
and last a bird purred.

until not-doing is done

there is nothing but being and being being is all there is

the wave will think that it's an ocean until it knows it's not a wave

Without effort you will never reach it, with effort nobody has ever reached it. ~Osho

the mind is the last one to know but the first one to think it knows

the mind is such a tool but i love it anyways

you can't think the truth; you can only feel the truth

intuition is the root system reaching into the ground of truth

there's nothing wrong with feeling your Self

the central paradox rests in the central nervous system allowing Self to feel itself

be in the body but not of the body

knowing truth is one thing; embodying truth is everything

doing is not hard when listening to the mind; it's impossible

doing, to the mind, is called not-doing

nothing is gained until not-doing is done

neither oranges nor apples

fight mass hypnosis; wear different-colored socks today!

irony lacks the steel to face our paradox

there's literally no time like the present

while I was sleeping the mind was spinning out its web

there's no need to get in a car to drive right here

it's all just a game that all sides are losing

nothing can be meaningless when there's no such thing as meaning

washing windows for thousands of years and then to see there never were any windows

a thought is just a thought to a thought

it's neither oranges nor apples

it took six days for us to make god and on the seventh we rested so he could make us

that thought could think it's not a thought is not unthinkable nor thoughtless but the highest thought

all is laughable

smile and the world smiles in you

it's a symphony with no strings attached

understand that matter is consciousness and consciousness is matter and that's understanding all

newton mistook consciousness for an apple and everyone took that bite

old paradigms fall hard

the mind is just an amplifier of consciousness cranked to eleven, creating this distortion called myself; turn it down and be

row row row

life is a page-turner.

life is just a story, and the author is its plot.

nonfiction is a nightmare

every negative emotion is the shadow of a thought believed.

watch the dream rise and see the nightmare set

enjoy your dream but have compassion for the nightmare of others

there's a fine line between dreaming and sleepwalking

it's called the psychological time zone

the past and future perfect

if life is but a dream, who is rowing the boat?

The Book of Truth

Truth 1:1 It's all in your mind.

Truth 1:2 There is no Truth 1:1

real religion

if the fall don't kill you, your thoughts will

if it weren't for my social conditioning i'd be nothing

in the land of ten thousand stories, suspending disbelief is king

we are all each other's hypnotist

sometimes i think i'd like to put this genie back into the bottle but then i'm aware that's just another thought

the self is just raspberry of flavor that's been added to crystal pure spring water and when i stop it settles to the bottom of the bottle

so tired of giving myself the raspberry

the one true cult is culture and the one real religion is that which is its deprogramming

we are not the world; we are the sun

the only problem is the thought that there's a problem and that's no problem at all

reclaiming christ from christians and buddha from buddhists and a from atheists

out of an emptiness of all potential comes this single moment

within this hurricane of mind's interpretation is an eye

when tossed about by all the winds of doing thinking feeling, stop and rest right here and now within the centrifugal eye of being

talk and trash-talk

there comes a point when you realize that all worldly knowledge, information, and rumor is truly unbelievable

don't believe a word of it

it's never mind

even silence is too talkative

even nothing is something

even emptiness is too full

even that is not that

there is no answer; there's only the question that removes the questioner

if it's not coming from Self, all talk is trash-talk. in your faces suckahs!

eat this sutra eight-fold losers

up your void, no-mind

gita life!

hit the Way, jack

tears are flowers of the eyes ~Osho

so say it with the deepest feeling and make yourself cry

doing science

scientific nonduality isn't oxymoronic; it's just moronic

there is no logic to nondual truth; logic is just a control issue for the mind

science is good at what it does, but it doesn't do truth

if you want a hydrogen bomb and prepare for destruction of matter on earth, do science; if you want to destroy the mind, do nondual truth

if you want to fight death at all costs, do science; if you're at all drawn to the art of dying, do nondual truth

if you wish to organize nondual truth, look around at our organized religions; been there, done that

if you want to play at truth, do science or join an organized religion; maya loves the help

meanwhile, long live paradox; may it destroy itself soon

a prayer that's not a prayer

let us pray a prayer that's not a prayer to a God that's not a separate entity from an 'us' that is that God...

o sky of trees and window through the wall of objectivity i play my blue guitar to strum sweet nothings into empty space and sing of love!

o cactus altar shiva buddha eagle christ and peaceful kingdom of coyote hear this howl of silence for the mystery in mind concerning truth

o telephone to emptiness, o wireless router to upanishad, o tv of the tao, o hear me now in rhymes and how and being that i am through heart

o breath of god, o eye that sees, o thumbs that speak the words that never will approach the wonder kissed between these lips, o bliss!

o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o that o this!

That is all

that's a thought; That's not

begin at being

when the mind can't think something through to a logical conclusion, it calls that something a miracle

when the mind resides in thoughts of past or future, as it tends to, nothing appears to be a miracle

when the mind is confronted with the existential moment, all is a miracle. plus the body is enveloped in waves of bliss. awesome, dude.

that is the real ground zero, the true wonderland, the nothing but a cheshire cat smile, the beginning of beginning, the what of who i am

and when the waves of bliss settle into the sea of bliss, the miracle becomes an emptiness of being

any integrated action in this world of suchness begins right here and now; otherwise it's just more non-miraculous movement in the past

he not busy being born is busy dying ~Bob Dylan

or less poetically, s/he not living in the present is acting in the past

Use the mind to help the body act from the heart's intuition of Being. That is all.

consciousness matters

I'm only an illusion but I like it.

I think therefore I think.

I am codependent on my I.

I have come from nowhere; take me to your dreamers.

I came from a distant galaxy a long long time ago right here and now.

Matter is consciousness. Consciousness is matter.

Consciousness appears to be a tree within these thoughts in which consciousness appears to be me.

God is another name for Consciousness is another name for Being is another name for Emptiness is another name for Nameless is another name.

Matter does not exist in the way that 'science' thinks it does: precursor to consciousness. Matter *is* consciousness and vice versa.

The body-mind is a pattern of Consciousness that thinks... it is a body-mind.

all 'you' can do is *try* to understand until understanding removes the 'you'

returning

it is said that the word in the new testament translated as 'repent' should really be understood as 'return'. it makes a world of difference

return! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

gone is the guilt. arriving is the here & now.

the -only- thing 'one' can "do" is *try* to •understand•, and even that ultimately is in the of 'understanding' itself

don't try to seek the truth; the truth is seeking you

the moment you stop, the truth will find you

then you will smile to see the truth *is* you

space is the one breathing all of us

used to

i used to know how to spel

i used to know what i knew

i used to fear the fire of hell

i used to think that i was who

a few thoughts on belief

all it takes is one word for the morning to appear; imagine what sixteen can do

thoughts create this world; just one belief turns it all to hell

i suppose there are those that actually believe in choiceless awareness

a theist believes in something while an atheist believes in nothing; it's the belief stupid!

then there's the agnostic who believes in not believing

there's a world of difference between direct experience confirming truth and believing something to be true

5wnd

I + LMFHO = LOVE

no matter where i go, this world goes with me

objects seen in this mirror will appear to be real

within these four walls is the understanding that there are no walls

there's no argument for love.

don't believe a single word.

you are the youniverse

understanding is the key to the door that's always been open

minds just love drama; clean minds love soap operas

the mind acts out of the past; truth acts now

never make up your mind

there are no conclusions so how can you draw them--pointless graffiti of the mind

be being, not a beist

if theism is the belief in a God, then the word 'the' must be an article that points to this God existing in all things

wwwwwnd (what would wei wu wei not do?)

weak self and the deeper fall

the self can't disappear unless it's been developed in the first place; weak egos are incredibly persistent

knowledge of good & bad is the basis of the fall from living our true nature. when this fact is recognized & organized: a new deeper fall!

religions form on the direct understanding by a few that distinction is the error, and then inevitably become the distinct belief of many!

acting out of belief results in thinking how one should act results in a code of morality results in constant failure results in a weak self

religions thrive in a sense of morality resulting in a sense of inferiority in the self; there's no stronger animal than a wounded animal.

(one will act from belief, but direct understanding acts you)

understanding understanding

awareness is understanding; not understanding is not awareness

there is nothing to do but understand, and in that understanding is awareness

the mind cannot understand. the mind can figure it out. but all figuring is in the mind. all such logic is a closed loop.

the mind will never figure out the paradox of being. understand?

understanding is a passage that begins in the mind, passes through the heart, and disappears into the emptiness of awareness

understanding is a lightning bolt that zaps the mind as awareness strikes awareness

standing beneath understanding is like standing beneath the open sky in a lightning storm

the only thing between the sky of awareness and the ground of awareness is the mind

as understanding strikes the mind, that sky and ground grow much less distant, until there is no mind and only awareness--as always is

this metaphor has been a production of understanding inc. and is copyrighted by the disappearing mind. all rights are reserved in awareness.

Meditations in 3D

a snow shower is a wonderful meditation on space

really really look at the world in 3-D

the mind will tend to focus on a single object, thereby flattening perspective and separating one from the totality

but when looking at the world in 3-D, the mind starts to recognize the space instead

this is why a 3-D movie can be initially disconcerting. the trick of cinematography is forcing space onto the mind.

when looking at the world in 3-D, one will begin seeing that all is space--and that objects are patterns of space within that space...

...that one's self is a pattern of space within that space. and that space is consciousness. and I am That.

when really looking at the world in 3D, when actually meditating in this 3-D, you will literally feel yourself at 1st a wave within an ocean

go deeper and sea
